I'm a vidder that dabbles in graphics on the rare occasion and is pretty passionate about fandom and people and human rights. I'm in a crazy amount of fandoms and always on the look out for something shiny. Nice seeing you. livejournal, twitter, ask

Imagine if Sirius could have raised Harry and when he sent a howler to him in his second year for driving the car to school.

"I’M NOT EVEN MAD, I’M ACTUALLY IMPRESSED. MERLIN’S BLOODY BALLS I’M PROUD."

And Remus in the background “SIRIUS NO.”

Breathe. You’re going to be okay. Breathe and remember that you’ve been in this place before. You’ve been this uncomfortable and anxious and scared, and you’ve survived. Breathe and know that you can survive this too. These feelings can’t break you. They’re painful and debilitating, but you can sit with them and eventually, they will pass. Maybe not immediately, but sometime soon, they are going to fade and when they do, you’ll look back at this moment and laugh for having doubted your resilience. I know it feels unbearable right now, but keep breathing, again and again. This will pass. I promise it will pass.

"The archetype of the witch is long overdue for celebration. Daughters, mothers, queens, virgins, wives, et al. derive meaning from their relation to another person. Witches, on the other hand, have power on their own terms. They have agency. They create. They praise. They commune with nature/ Spirit/God/dess/Choose-your-own-semantics, freely, and free of any mediator. But most importantly: they make things happen. The best definition of magic I’ve been able to come up with is “symbolic action with intent" — “action" being the operative word. Witches are midwives to metamorphosis. They are magical women, and they, quite literally, change the world."

This makes me want a video game about a zombie apocalypse that only affects men so it’s up to the housewives of 50s’ America to save humanity.

…saving this idea for class.

Also can there be a character design screen so you can make your little housewife?

I think it’d be entertaining to see what guys could come up with for making their female-selves. If you ask me.

I would so play this game. 

I would suck at it but I would play it.

OMG I already thought of some sort of premise:

In 1953 a certain laboratory on an undisclosed location developed a serum that could genetically modify humans, giving them enhanced speed, agility, strength, and brainpower.

Scientists found a way to modify the serum such that it could only activate itself in the presence of a Y chromosome, thus isolating the effects to men, mostly because of female discrimination at the time.

The serum was a success, and sales skyrocketed just a few weeks after its release.

What the developers did not anticipate, though, was the human body’s incapacity to handle the serum. The mental and physical over-exhaustion triggered a mental decay which starts out slow, but speeds up exponentially within a few months after usage of the serum. The brains of the users are left with only the most basic survival reflexes, transforming the users into strong, fast, agile, emotionless human shells, devouring any mobile life form in their path.

Bites from the affected individuals could place copies of the rogue serum into the bodies of the bitten, giving them the symptoms. Shortly after, the serum evolved into a sort of genetic virus, causing mental decay in just days. No one was safe. No one…

…except the women.

*cue in epic music*

Can you imagine the shitstorm this game would cause. I’d laugh pretty hard.

Would still play it though.

Not gonna lie, I’d play the shit out of this.

I approve of this concept 100%

I want a montage in the beginning of the housewife getting ready to kick ass

She puts on her best dress, a string of pearls, does her hair taking out the curlers, puts on her most stylish flats, and the finishing touch, her engagement ring with the big diamond in it, and when they fight, they look fabulous and kick ass like they were trained by Catwoman and Harley Quinn

I want this

THEY ARE ALL OKAY, and all those things could exist in THE SAME WOMAN. Women shouldn’t be valued because we are strong, or kick-ass, but because we are people. So don’t focus on writing characters who are strong. Write characters who are people.madlori

Modeled on this post. This quote needed a gifset that featured a more diverse group of women. Because my takeaway from Lori’s marvelous answer (seriously, go read all of it) is that representation fucking matters and that great female characters do not—and should not—fit into the same cookie cutter mold. Because actual women are not one size fits all. And the irony of having that message cross my dash repeatedly with exclusively young, white, straight, cis women who match a prescriptive definition of beauty was getting to me.

here is a gift to all my followers who are Pens fans. i know you guys have been waiting. leading the sleigh we got Crospony, Uni-Geno, Paulie Pony, Fleurasus and of course, getting out of work, Peganeal.

there is genuinely no difference between being a sports fan and being in fandom, they are literally the same damn thing, i am stunned that this is even a question

you’re gonna go to the events, you’re gonna buy the merchandise, you’re gonna occasionally dress in weird costumes and perform weird rituals as a sign of your devotion. you’re gonna follow the franchise closely, you’re gonna get excited when something dramatic happens in the plot.

you’re gonna start to identify with a certain “team” or “army” or whatever the fuck you want to call it, you’re gonna start hoping that good things happen to certain people and bad things happen to other people, you’re gonna start trash-talking people who like different people than you

you’re gonna memorize huge amounts of pointless trivia. you’re gonna be able to quote from memory what happened to that one person that one time back in 1975. you’re gonna get really invested. you’re gonna pull your friends and family into it; you’re gonna make friends and family through it.

your faves are gonna do terrible, awful shit. you’re gonna defend them anyway. defending them is gonna make you an asshole.

people are gonna explain to you carefully that the thing that you love is really, really dumb. they’re gonna be right. you will be blind about the thing, you will be a jerk about it, you will care about it more than is dignified, you will care about it more than is socially acceptable. you will continue to care about it.

this is not difficult.

this goes 100x for people whose fandom is actually a sport.

things i have seen completely non-fannish, middle-aged male sports fans do:

  • argue over which of their favorite (male) players is hottest
  • name their pets/wifi networks/email accounts after their favorite player
  • come up with name smushes for their two favorite players
  • over-analyze the body language between two players to figure out “how their relationship is going”
  • calculate when their favorite players’ children were conceived to see if they play better when they’re getting laid or not.

and yet somehow every girl who watches sports is suddenly ruining the game?
