the sad truth is the truth is sad

everyone talks about how terrible tumblr was from 2012-2014, but let me tell you, as someone who has been on this website for 5 years, 2015-2017 has been the absolute fucking worst from blatant bullying, to spreading extremely diluted information about mental illness, excusing unhealthy coping mechanisms, and adopting black and white thinking skills. yeah sure, there was some cringy shit back in 2012, but at least people were fucking nice to each other   

this one’s for all the fat girls who’ve cried in dressing rooms 💗

out of curiosity, when did y’all start the harry potter journey? 

Okay so funny story. When I was a kid, I was real anti establishment. If something was popular I didn't want it. I was #edgy but I also really loved to read. My grandpa knew this mostly because he was the one that fed my addiction. I remember I was like 9 and the Chamber of Secrets had literally just been released and he was like, you have to read this, you'll love it, everyone loves it. But I was a shit head and was like fine, okay, but I'm not reading the first one. I'M GOING TO BE EDGY AND READ THE SECOND ONE. So I did and I fell in love. He bought me the first one too, and literally within a month I had read them both like three times. lol

This is why we keep talking. Every child in this photo deserves to be talked about. The children grew up to be adults… adults who suffer from mental illnesses and a lack of connection to a culture/people that never wanted them to leave. These scars are passed down from generation to generation… and in reality the above picture is closer to present times than many would like to admit.

I am consistently furious that the ship name for Harry and Pansy is Hansy and not Pots’n’Pans, like for pity’s sake people it’s right fucking there, a pun ripe for the taking…
