As interesting as this quiz was, couldn’t the series of questions be shortened to one? Ie. “what colour eyes do you have?”
Well it doesn’t ask that, and it still guessed that my eyes are blue!
Damn…they guessed it.
My wig snatched itself holy fuck my eyes ARE hazel
Critics hated Venom, audiences love it. It has mixed reviews and writers can learn many things from the movie.
I think the reason that Venom failed with critics is that it took so long to get to the best part: Venom and Eddie’s relationship. We have a long stretch between the beginning to the first major event, Venom joining with Eddie. In my view, they ought to have cut the scenes of Eddie’s normal life by at least half.
Another issue I have with Venom is the lack of content. All beloved and best scenes aside, the story is thin.
The story is thin. It needed some more juice injected into it, more plot points and conflicts.
One thing done extremely well here is the relationships between characters. Eddie’s relationship with Venom is adorable to say the least and the shining light in the film. Good relationships between characters is a blessing to any book and should always be strengthened.
Venom may be the titular character but he has barely any screen time. He is the best part of this movie even though he is only in a handful of scenes. He is the titular character and the instigator of the plot. He is the injection of humour needed in this story and we relate with him. We needed more Venom. Enjoyable background characters, especially those relatable and humorous, should always be given enough time to flourish in a story and they can add more entertainment within a story.
some actual CONSTRUCTIVE criticism that matters to me.

im gonna take a moment & make another post appreciating the magic that is bee butts sticking out of flowers
I’d like to point out that I’m-HORRENDOUSLY-terrified of bees, but bee butts are the most adorable thing in the world. I would never ever ever harm a bee just run away terrified and screaming.
In the rain please. Always.
My whole entire heart. I adore this so much.
This is beautiful. So peaceful it could put me to sleep

Critics: Honestly why does everyone think Venom is a great movie??? It’s not!
Fans ready type their MLA format essay on how critics are wrong and why Venom is best rom com of 2018
I’d like to see people give sound reasoning as a follow up to their immediate dismissal of the movie please. no disrespect for your opinion, but I want to know why people think it’s so bad. now, I’m pretty well versed in comicbook-fu and I know what I’m talking about most of the time, and I know that what’s been shown in the movie is pretty different in from the comics, but that’s just how it be sometimes brah. who ever dislikes venom, I just want to talk.

we are strongly anti-pedophilia. if you identify as a MAP/’minor attracted person’, you are not welcome here.
Say it with me: Pedophiles are not LGBT. They never have been and never will be welcome in our community.
There is no such thing as Pedosexuality.
Pedosexaulity is valid! -said no person in the LGBT community ever
ly guys :,)))
Pedosexuality is valid! - said every sane person ever
Pedosexality doesn’t exist! - said everyone who isn’t a pedophile or whatever name they’ve decided to call themselves now
pedosexuals are being oppressed! - lied the map
Be gone
The only good maps are the ones that help you get places! Not the ped-*fake throw-up sounds*. Sorry, I was trying to say ‘pe-*even more throw ups sounds*. Nope, I can’t say it.

HEY hello beautiful people. I’m pretty sure you know this already, (good job you know things) but pls bind responsibly, omg its a wonderful thing to be able to see yourself the way you intended, but binding can cause some serious medical issuesse that will affect you in the future. There is no such thing as safe binding. 🅱️lease be safe and don’t bind an exercise, don’t wear it for more than a few hours at a time, and be sure to stretch before and after binding, and posture improvement exersises can help. Oof a fellow concerned trans boi to another. Never sleep in your binder and never go 24 without taking it off. 🅱️lease don’t hurt yourself, you are a precious being who deserves a healthy transition.
haven’t seen this on tumblr yet, and tis the season
Paul’s not wrong though
Am I the only one whose internet addiction started with my parents not letting me fucking go anywhere
This but I also had no friends so I wouldn’t have anywhere to go if I was allowed
this is a thing! danah boyd is a researcher who has been studying social media for over a decade and in her 2014 book it’s complicated she argues that teenage social media “addiction” (which she also contends is like…..not actually a thing) is a result of the fact that “today’s teenagers have less freedom to wander than any previous generation” because “parents argue that these restrictions are necessary in an increasingly dangerous society, even though the data suggest that contemporary youth face fewer dangers than they did twenty years ago.”
as a result, teenagers are reclaiming these lost social spaces (which their parents and grandparents had in the form of mall hangouts, drive-in theaters, after school parking lots, etc) by using social media, where they can continue to “engage in crucial aspects of maturation: self-presentation, managing social relationships, and developing an understanding of the world around them,” aka stuff that teens are Supposed to be doing
I fucking forgot that I reblogged this and woke up to some weird shit lmao

the number one argument i hear being used against romione is ‘they’re not intellectually compatible and hermione wouldn’t be satisfied with ron’s mediocrity’ like ?????????? what books have you read????? where are you getting these ideas?????? why are you dismissing someone’s intelligence just because it’s shown in a different way??????? why are you acting like the only way to be intelligent is academically??????? why?????
like there are so many different ways to be intelligent, just because it’s not shown in an academic sense doesn’t mean it doesn’t count. please stop.

Look at that. Ron Weasley: Expert Puzzle Solver.
Strategist Ron Weasley ™
He is a good strategist because my boy Ron could play circles around peeps at wizard chess. In sorcerers stone he played through the giant wizard chess and won. and his brothers were crafty little fucks and probably thought Ron a few things. So yeah, Ron may not have the study skills and drive hernione has, but he’s very resourceful and an underestimated character in my opinion, not that anyone asked for my opinion, but there’s the sauce yo.
We really have harmed a whole generation of trans and gnc children by failing to communicate how serious a decision binding actually is, how there’s no ACTUALLY safe way to bind, how it permeneantly damages the body, how it can make top surgery more difficult in the future. I don’t think we should be keeping trans kids from binding (we let kids do all sorts of things they’re really not old enough to understand the potential consequences of) but we owe them the ability to make informed decisions at LEAST
So this is definitely an important conversation to have, but can you point me at some reading about “permanent damage”? I might just be lucky, but I had zero lasting effects from binding. I’d like to at least read up on it so I can have this conversation and be more specific than “be careful.”
Of course! I can’t easily source right now but I am more than happy to provide further info when I am not at work and on mobile. Unfortunately, like a lot of trans healthcare, a lot of what we know about binding is anecdotal and word of mouth. BUT permeneant damage can include:
-Musculoskeletal damage. Binders are indiscriminate compression tools; they can’t flatten the chest without applying pressure every other anatomical structure underneath including the spine, ribs, lungs and heart. Many people who bind experience chronic back pain, shoulder pain, sharp stabbing chest pains, permeneantly decreased lung capacity, literal spine deformation, etc etc.
-A continuation of the above but the ribs are actually jointed bones. Their ability to flex is absolutely vital to their ability to withstand trauma and protect your vital organs. Imagine the damage that would be done to your elbow if your bent your arm to full flexion and then tightly bound it closed like that, for six, eight, twelve hours per day, every day, for weeks or months or years. And you don’t NEED a functioning arm to live!
-Tissue atrophy. Forcing chest tissue to lay in an unnatural way can and will change the way that tissue looks, even to risk of atrophy. Some people who bind and only moderately dislike the way their chest looks find that they HATE the way it looks after binding for a period of time. Tissue atrophy can also make top surgery more difficult in the future, and increase the risk of complications like nerve damage.
-Worsened dysphoria. Once someone starts binding and becomes accustomed to seeing themselves with a flat chest, it can be much more difficult to see yourself without one, and dysphoria that much more intolerable. You can imagine the psychological feedback loop of binding more in response.
The typical safety measures passed around about binding are harm REDUCTION measures and should not be advertised as making binding “safe.” Binding is not safe. It is a very serious health decision with long term consequences and should be treated as such. That doesn’t mean it’s the wrong decision, but it should not be considered the DEFAULT decision for chest dysphoria which is frankly how it’s currently treated.
Holy shit
Stretch your chest, shoulders, and back everyday (at least)
This is a passive stretch where you place a foam roller at the bottom of your spine (to support your hips and lower back), and lifts your shoulders off of the ground, with your arms on the ground to balance you.
This stretch is meant to be held for a few minutes, open up your chest, and aid your everyday posture.
You probably don’t own a foam roller, he advised to wrap a towel or blanket very tightly and tied as a substitute. I use a layer of bed foam rolled up with two belts to keep it rolled. Whatever you use, it ought to have a bit of give and it needs to lift your shoulders off the ground.
—————————————————————————
This is an active stretch. Stand in front of a doorway with your feet together (if the door way was not there, your toes would be touching the wall, not crossing through it). When you lift your arms up and put them against the wall, your feet, hips, and arms should all be in line with each other (your arms should not be behind you with your feet and hips in the doorway).
Make a “W” shape with your arms against the wall so that your elbows are the closest part of your arm to the ground, and take one small step forward.
You should feel a pull in your lower shoulders, but it should be comfortable to hold. Do not over stretch, you shouldn’t be leaning your weight into your arms to balance, your weight should be balanced by your legs. Do not judge yourself and think you are doing yourself a favor by thinking that you ought to have a bigger step. Sure, you could overstretch today, but you need to be able to do this tomorrow too! Hold this for 10-15 seconds. (Yet again. Do. Not. Overstretch.)
Bring your feet back together, and do it the other foot. There will probably be one foot that is easier than the other, stretch that step more often than the less difficult step.
Bring your feet together and bring your elbows up so that your upper arms are parallel to the ground and your elbow forms a 90° angle with your forearms. Take your small step forward and hold for 10-15 seconds and switch feet.
Now reach your arms up as high as you can. It doesn’t have to be much higher than the last stretch, if that is as high as you can go, then that’s it. If you can’t reach higher than the last stretch, put your arms down at your sides and then lift your arms up from your sides and put them against the wall (sorry he didn’t include a picture of this one in the slides, message me if this is unclear.)
Your goal is to be able to reach your arms up like in the picture so that you form a Y shape. Step forward and hold for 10-15 seconds, then switch feet.
His advice was to do this stretch as often as you use the bathroom at home (shoot for 3-5 times a day).
—————————————————————————
The next two stretchs don’t have pictures! If you can do these stretches with ease and want a more intense version, try using dumbbells and incorporating it into your workouts.
If you’ve ever done snow angels? Put your heels, butt, shoulders, and arms up against a wall (as much of your body as you possibly can should be touching the wall) and lift your arms up as high as you can go like you are making a snow angel.
Alternatively, lay down on the ground instead of up against a wall if you need to work your way up to lifting your arms above your head.
—————————————————————————
Again, with your body up against the wall, but this time with your arms in front of you, bring your arms up like Frankenstein’s monster, so that they are as high as your shoulders. Hold this for a few seconds.
—————————————————————————
After trying these stretchs, it’ll probably be clear where your range of motion is most limited. For me, the most useful stretches are the W and 90° angle doorway stretch and foam roller stretch, bc I have the most trouble with my lower shoulders and chest. Try to maintain your range of motion where you have it, and use these stretches to improve your range of motion where you are limited.
Oof the info shown cant be stressed enough, I have a very close friend who is a trans man and binds a lot, I’m pretty sure he knows the consequences, but I’m still concerned. Pls be safe and knowledgeable kiddos.
hey
hey friend
dont kill yourself tonight ok
