Anyone else remember that scene in Bloodhound where Bekah asks a trans woman how she can just get on stage and be a beautiful woman and she was all, “It’s cuz I *am* a beautiful woman, and we have Queer mythology btw.”

she retroactively made kel ace almost on a whim and then when ace fans damn near cried with joy over it, she went all in and doubled down on it to make sure we got that protagonist representation, while also validating aces who spent a while figuring out their orientation or have dated before - a thing you NEVER see in any medium EVER tammy pierce knows damn well the power an author can wield for good, and has spent decades learning alongside her audience and trying to meet the needs of her fans in any way she can

I like this art. I agree with it. I am following you.

“The human equivalent of stepping in a puddle with socks on” that is the greatest insult ever and also great point and wonderful art

is anyone else just really fucking sick and tired of pointless plots and meaningless endings that don’t make any sense for character development or foreshadowing like game of thrones, the 100, supernatural, how i met your mother, lost, the list goes on and fucking on. when will it end? when will years of angst and death and development mean something in the end? when will the feeling of “i wasted years of my life watching this and it all meant nothing” end? it’s not cool. it’s not subversive. it’s not innovative. it’s an insult to every fan, every cast member, and every character. i’m so tired of modern media. the only bright side to this mess is that it’s teaching people how NOT to tell the story.

oh my goodness, one of dian fossey’s first close up observations with gorillas happened when she was trying to climb a tree to see them better, but so badly that by the time she’d gotten up the entire group had come out of hiding to look at her: “Nearly all members of the group had totally exposed themselves, forgetting about hiding coyly behind foliage screens because it was obvious to them that the observer had been distracted by tree-climbing problems, an activity they could understand.”

hello, fellow apes

Absolutely living for the fact that in ancient Greece, it was said that when Apollo was drunk he created people with the “wrong” genitalia,, which, first of all, means that 1. trans people are not a new thing, we’ve always been here and we’ve always found ways to justify and explain our existence, and 2. the way that we chose to explain ourselves at one point was, “Yeah, the sun was wasted as hell when he made me, but it’s cool.” and that is fucking awesome

apollo making me: fuck it lets give her a massive dick Dionysus: im cutting you off for the night. youve had way too much.

“I’ve searched my conscience, and I can’t for the life of me find any justification for this, and I simply cannot accept that there are on every story two equal and logical sides to an argument”

I… have to admit i was kind of gobsmacked to realize that’s the borat guy, but his point is eloquent and good so keep kicking ass, dude.

Despite being known best for his comedy characters, Sacha Baron Cohen is a graduate of Cambridge University, where he earned a history degree after writing his undergraduate thesis on the American civil rights movement. His mother’s family were German Jews and his father’s family were Ashkenazi Jews; he is also the grandson of a Holocaust survivor. He understands this issue all too well.
