Hi, I'm Sage.

No minors.

I’m so old that two of my kids are adults. If you’re younger than my middle kid, you shouldn’t be following me. It’s not only a comfort thing, but a “sometimes I post material that could be considered unsafe and illegal to show minors” thing. I’m sorry but I don’t want to ~*~*~*corrupt the youth*~*~*~ or whatever. Y’all can do zoomer things in Not This Direction.

No out and out assholes (y’know, TERFs, supremacists, militants, redlinks in general, the usual suspects)

If you come up red, I block you. If you have an opinion I disagree with, I block you. I very liberally apply the block button.

My only radical opinion is that people can self-identify however the fuck they like, and queer isn’t a slur. Hi, I’m queer. You can pry the label out of my cold queer hands.

It’s just fucking rude and creepy in general if you tag other people’s art as ‘kin’ or ‘self’ without them saying it’s okay. don’t do that. I kindly ask that if you kin or bond or in other way identify with things to some obviously unhealthy extent to keep me completely out of the loop on it, because man almighty have i run into some fuckin people in my time.

Oh, and I don’t tag anything. If you need to keep off certain subjects for mental health purposes, I suggest not following me, because you never know what you’re going to get. I do my best not to post flashing gifs, and for the most part, I don’t reblog political posts, money begging, activism, or other stuff that would stress me out if I had to look at it. I’m never going to.

This looks like a fucking parody post, or an edgy edit, but it’s 100% official real Flintstones.

Clarification: I don’t hate this book, I love it, it’s amazing. It’s just that taking a step back and looking it out of context is still really funny. Especially the line “We participated in a genocide, Barney.”

ok but imagine them in their cartoon forms saying this dialogue i’m

can we have some context to this, perhaps?

Bedrock is having a mayoral election. One of the candidates is a violent war mongering asshole that riles people up against the lizard people. This reminds Fred and Barney of their time in the army.

Back then the father of said violent candidate was riling people up against the “tree people”. Fred, Barney, and other soldiers fought what they believed to be a defensive measure against the tree people. Turns out, it was actually an invasion, in order to kill off the tree people and take over their forest to build Bedrock.

That’s what Fred means when he says he and Barney participated in a genocide. They literally did.

(Extra fun fact, Barney adopted a tree person baby after the war, and his son Bamm-Bamm is the last tree person.)

There are a lot of interesting things about this post but the AK-47 shaped spear is what really got me

This is just as wild with the context

Some of my favorite moments in the series

From the foreword to 2021 print of the comic.

Conversation that Tumblr is not ready for:

  • A Vampire's fangs are also it's reproductive organs

I scrolled past that before realizing op was being literal and not just making some kind of weird joke

Oh please, "the penetration of the vampire's bite as metaphor for sexual penetration" is like, horny classic vampire symbolism 101 🙄 Taking this to the next level of "vampire bite as literal reproductive penetration" is a conversation Tumblr is thoroughly and uniquely prepared for and one that we will all severely regret very shortly

Oh, I’m ready to be a spectator for this conversation. I’m ready. 

So, when a vampire doesn’t want to become a vaddy, they use a set of these, right?

SIR.

"Stop saying 15 year olds with weird interests are cringe, they're 15" this is true however you should also stop saying adults with weird interests are cringe because who gives a shit

To wit:

I want to share some wisdom from my high school art teacher.

In my AP Art class, there was a girl who was just starting to experiment with mixed media. At this point she was still playing around, trying to decide what direction she wanted to go with her portfolio. So one critique day, she brought in an abstract canvas with some rhinestone highlights and painted and real peacock feathers. She loved sparkles and peacock feathers so she thought she’d try introducing them a *little*. And after everyone had given some input, the teacher gave her his advice, VERY roughly paraphrased here:

“So here’s the thing… I do not like this style. These are just elements that do not speak to me personally, but I see that you like them, and you’re doing interesting things with them.

“My biggest critique is, I only merely *dislike* this piece. I want you to make me HATE it. Go crazy with the things that you like. Don’t hold back trying to make it palatable to people like me. Because I am NEVER going to like it. And if the audience does not like it, it should drive them crazy seeing how much YOU love it.”

Her portfolio was chock full of neon colors and glitter and rhinestones and splashes of peacock feathers and it was a delight. Our teacher despised every piece lol, but she got great marks and I think even won some awards. And more importantly, she was happy and proud of the results. Because she didn’t limit herself by trying to appeal to people who were never going to enjoy what she enjoyed.

Takeaway here: be as cringe as you want. Don’t limit yourself based on other ppl’s tastes. They’re not you, and you are incredible 💕
