Discworld: Wyrd Sisters Director: Jean Flynn | Studio: Cosgrove Hall | UK, 1997

It genuinely upsets me that there are people who call this animation and voice acting bad, there’s so much heart and soul on display in just this clip alone

At first glance: ‘lol this is going to be one of those hilariously cheap animations’

30 seconds in: ‘…Oh my god this is fantastic’

“WHO DARES TO INVOKE WXRTHLTL-JWLPKLZ?” “Where were you when the vowels were bein’ handed out, behind the door??”

This was the first place I encountered the Discworld, it changed my fkn life. These are the voices in my head when I read.

This is actually kind of incredible holy shit

really recommend getting a partner with a different religion than you and very little knowledge of your religion because the opportunities for explaining things to each other are just exquisite

yesterday she told me some story about the Buddha's wife and child and I was like. Wait. He fucked? And she was like yeah of course he fucked, why wouldn't he, he was the most attractive and loveable and and wise and etc. person who ever lived. why would he not fuck.

this morning she looked perplexed in the kitchen at me and said "did Jesus not fuck?"

was really mad that the couches in the lobby at my work got removed :( then I remembered that most days I open there's someone sleeping on them, meaning someone reported that to housekeeping and their "solution" was to remove the couches entirely?? I was pissed about it, then noticed this sign today

the removal of comfort in public spaces to 'deter' homeless people impacts everyone

General tumblr reminder, since some people don't know: If the person's URL has "deactivated" plus a string of numbers (a date) after it, that means that they manually deleted their own blog. It doesn't mean they were banned. Banned blogs don't have "deactivated" after them and will just be the normal URL you can't click on or interact with. They look very similar and function the same, but they were caused by two very different things.

thats not true i dont think people would do that

Well here it is! The promised comic about being a plus sized trans girl and how that has effected me and how I’m going to try my best to be visible for all the plus sized baby trans people out there who need representation like I did and do! 💜💜🏳️‍⚧️💜💜

Okay let's add a selfie, if I'm going to try and live by the words in this comic here is me wearing a headband, something thay makes me feel dysphoric sometimes but you know what other times I think it looks cute! 💜🏳️‍⚧️💜

Also someone commented a while ago that I look like I have buckteeth and I definitely have some big front chompers, they run in the family! I really like them but I'm also super anxious about smiling in photos alot of the time so you might not get to see them for a while 😅

This comic speaks to a very personal time of my life. Probably when I was at my lowest. It was really hard to separate what was dysphoria and what was dysmorphia. What I could hope to change and what I needed to learn to love. I began to fear I wouldn't be able to change any of it. That I'd grow old and die a man. I ended up numb and heavily dissociated for several years.

Seeing representation from bigger folks pulled me out of that state. I began to have an understanding of what transition could do for someone like me. I saw beautiful plus size trans people sharing what they look like, the way Fae's doing now, and I began to think "Maybe if I treated myself with kindness, I could start to see the beauty that was there. I could find something about myself that I love." I started to be able to have realistic goals for my transition, and separate out the dysmorphia warping my self perception, which gave me hope for the future. And now, sometimes, when I catch my reflection in the mirror... I actually like what I see :)

I've even taken a few selfies which I've never done before! And I liked them enough that I was willing to share with a couple people. Right now Fae and Kayla are, like, the only two people on the internet who know what we look like, but hopefully someday we'll be comfortable enough to add to the growing amount of representation.

Fae you're beautiful, and you have a beautiful hart. Thank you for sharing your story and helping people feel seen. 💜

-Taylor

This is beautiful 💜 and so are you! The photo that I worked from to do your physical body was lovely and I'm happy you had the confidence to show me and Kayla ☺️ and outside of physical features what I know of Taylor is also beautiful, the pink bun with the cotton candy hair!! (gosh I hope any of that made sense I'm so eepy!)

Such a beautiful and strong message! We should not be afraid of being who we are, not be afraid of living as our true selves!

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, to listen to doctors and get my flu vaccine and any shots i could because they remembered Before.

then they started fighting Covid precautions.

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that the ozone was disappearing and the earth was dying and we needed to recycle and save the planet.

now my parents think climate change is a myth.

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that racism was a plague, that we had to love and accept everyone, that we should never judge before walking a mile in their shoes.

then they told me that protesting for my Black siblings was wrong.

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that we needed to give to the poor. working at soup kitchens. making quilts. collecting food and money and supplies. building houses. because it was the christian and just plain right thing to do.

now they look at me, on food stamps with their grandchildren, and lament the "welfare state".

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that it was easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven and that any rich man, especially an immoral one, should never run our country.

you can guess who they voted for.

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, so very much.

when did they forget?

Time to bring this back. Again.

Apparently this is evergreen. Dammit.

I remember adults telling me, as a kid that girls can be equal to boys in all fields including athletics. Now, they consider girls to be delicate flowers who could never hope to compete against boys.

I really wish arknights didn't have a character who's named for an ethnic slur of my people

http://www.rsdb.org/slur/lapp

If you wouldn't use esk*mo, g*psy, or r*dskin, you shouldn't use l*pp.

Like. Why is this okay. Why do people support this.

It's also fucked up that this character is snow/cold themed and animal themed. Two things that Sámi people, and other arctic circle native groups, are typically racially stereotyped with. Sámi people are not animals and we are not "snow eaters".

Hey arknights fans can you not be in my replies telling me, a sámi person, how to feel about an ETHNIC SLUR being used as a fun character name? I know gacha games rot your brain but can you attempt one critical thought on this?

Actually I'm going to need non-indigenous people to reblog this. The only reason shit like this gets excused is because people don't know anything about sámi people. Begging people to listen to us and understand how painful it is to see hate speech treated like a fun character feature.

I really appreciate everyone interacting with this is in good faith ❤️ it's been really nice to see such an outpouring of love and understanding.

To the Arknights fans still in the notes saying "it's just a place name!!" Where do you think the placename came from? L*pp land is just a way that surrounding Sweden, Nord, and Finn culture referred to "the place where the fucking L*pps lived". It is STILL a slur when referring to the Place.

There have been some good questions on how Sámi territory should be referred to going forward. I would ask that you use our chosen name, Sàpmi. The nation/place is Sápmi, the people are Sámi. If anyone has any other questions please feel free to ask, I really appreciate people caring about our culture.

If anyone is interested in learning about other Sámi issues, please keep eyes on the illegal windfarm construction that we recently successfully fought against.
