Reminder to fandom babies that wr do not ask actors/writers/directors/etc about fictional ships/pairings.

Keep fandom separate.

Stealing your tags, @ternaryflower53 because THIS!

#we also! do not! ask PERMISSION#to write rpf!#DON'T DO IT#we let them pretend it does not exist!#god ffs#i see people asking influencers for their boundaries abt rpf#and it makes me lose my fucking marbles#because first off#you don't need their permission#this is about your relationship to them and their content#not about them#and second of all#they really really#do not want to be thinking about ppl writing about them#you really want them to make individual decisions about if you can write fic?#make them queer and trans and project your mental illness#or write smut#or literally anything#they don't want to make decisions about that#just keep it away from them

Would you like total strangers to come up to you and ask you that kind of questions? No. It would be gross and inappropriate.*

Writers, artists, actors, and any one in the public eye, deserves the same respect for their personal integrity and boundaries as everyone else. They are doing their job, and dealing with fans who have zero sense of what is appropriate is not in their contract, good gods!

yes! and, to be clear, this is not "rpf is gross and people shouldn't write it", because that's also not something i agree with - it's specifically Don't Involve Them In This

you are allowed to fantasize about that hot coworker you have! similarly, you are allowed to fantasize about that hot celebrity in your blorbo's show!

you are allowed to gossip about your teachers or your classmates relationships, or to complain about your boss! similarly, you are allowed to gossip about those two youtubers who are cute together!

that doesn't mean you should tell said person about those conversations without their consent!

Yes this. I'm sorry if I sounded like I was judging or condemning it. I really meant it in a 'you do you babe, but don't tell them about it'.

I've been thinking lately about how Tobirama and Izuna are parallels to each other the same way Madara and Hashirama are parallels to each other, and what that means for Izuna's characterisation. And I think that, since Madara got his sharingan due to Hashirama, Izuna probably got his due to Tobirama.

The two of them were never friends like Madara and Hashirama were; they were always rivals. And since Tobirama's so talented at battle even without a kekkei genkai, I imagine that when they were still in their early teens, Tobirama started to outstrip Izuna in terms of battle prowess.

I imagine that Izuna got real close to dying on the battlefield. That he felt outmatched and hopeless, unable to measure up to Tobirama, and scared of what his death would mean for his clan.

And those feelings of helplessness and fear would have awoken his sharingan.

And they would have been equals again, each unable to best the other.

(For now, anyway.)

I cannot put into words how much I Fucking Loathe the fact that when you search something on youtube now it will randomly intersperse blocks of "people also watched" and "for you" into the results. That's not what I searched for, youtube. I typed in a search query because I wanted to see search results, not random unrelated garbage you have placed in my way apparently to either inconvenience me or force me to scroll further for actual results. I despise your wretched little games and every time I see it I can only instantly close the tab as I am overcome with the urge to burn something down.

"I despise your wretched little games" perfectly conveys how I feel about the entire algorithm/attention economy

They also refuse to actually show the parameters you searched for. If you sort by “upload date,” the first few videos might be more recent ones by upload date, but anything past that you’ll find a video that was uploaded five years ago, then five months ago, then three years ago, etc, which—NO! That’s NOT WHAT I ASKED FOR!! PUT THEM IN ORDER!!!

Also sometimes the “people also watched” bullcrap will not only be entirely unrelated, it will also be videos with violent, sometimes outright triggering thumbnails. I’ve gotten some AWFUL unrelated video thumbnails just when searching for video game music videos.

If you use Firefox this extension is god send :D

girlbulge is such a choice look i really wish it was more normalized

No offense to the droves of nsfw blogs reblogging this, but this was actually not meant to be a horny post. Let trans women exist in public spaces in their natural bodies without having to tuck or take other uncomfortable measures. I deserve to be able to wear tight clothes or go to the beach without having to be uncomfortable or in straight up pain from tucking just because some fragile cis people might think it’s some kind of perverted sexual display if there’s any sign of a bulge. So again, girlbulge is a choice look and I really wish it was more normalized and not seen as something inherently sexual, because it’s literally just how our bodies look in certain clothes.

got my first terf shitstain in the notes throwing a tantrum about this which is part of why i think it’s so important to normalize it. people being driven to seething rage at the mere thought of having to see a little bump under someone’s clothing is not fucking healthy! trans people deserve better than to be treated that way! i should be able to safely wear what i want without having to worry that my body is gonna send someone into a complete fucking rage!

whatever I'll post my addendum to it anyway

Sasuke Week Day 3: Design

↳ Favourite Look | Style Evolution | Redesign

I just saw something that looks very mundane but is extremely rare and incredible. Details later, gotta drive home.

OKAY SO

The plan was to go there friday, but as you recall, I got lost in the forest looking for cool rocks and there just wasn’t time. So I took the detour on my way back.

Here is the setting. We are at the bottom of a disused quarry. We took an hour detour and walked here for a little while and maybe you don’t really know why I’m excited yet.

At first, unless you’re a geology geek (I am not, btw), you might just be thinking, ah, rocks.

But what if we move closer?

Okay, big slab of rock. Some cracks and pockets in it. And?

Come even closer.

What’s the big deal? It’s just a rock with some marks in it. It looks so boring and ordinary and why did I even drag you to this quarry and am making you look at boring rocks?

Because. COME CLOSER.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT?

TOUCH THE LITTLE ROUND MARKS IN THE ROCK. PUT YOUR HAND OVER THEM AND FEEL THE RUSH OF HISTORY.

I AM SORRY TO BE YELLING BUT I AM VERY EXCITED.

YOU ARE LOOKING AT THE FOSSILISED FOOTPRINTS OF…

OUR ANCESTOR!

OKAY OKAY I had to add the meme for effect BUT this wouldn’t be the one in the picture, who is still a fish with fins. The tracks belong to a creature with four legs : A TETRAPOD!

Who may have looked and walked like this:

YES!!!!!These little pocks in the rock are footprints that show the path of a tetrapod crawling out of the sea, and they are approximately 495 million years old!!!

Why did the tetrapod come out of the water? Well, apparently there were invertebrates to feed on, and they left marks too:

So that was the coolest thing I saw this year for sure :D

Is it verified that it's authentic? Because if so that is incredible

Oh, yeah!!! I can't believe that after all that I didn't include any links to the info about it???

The tracks I saw are in Zachełmie in Poland :

and are a fairly recent discovery from 2010 so scientists are still arguing about what they mean for evolution history, but they ARE real.

I didn't find these myself, there are helpful signposts in the area that just say 'TETRAPOD', but you have to be curious or know what you're after to find the place.

life becomes so beautiful when you start cooking rice in liquids other than water

put that basmati rice in the cooker with coconut cream and chicken stock and an entire onion that you've diced and sauteed with garlic until transparent. and some salt and pepper. Trust me

"Uncle Benadryl's one minute rice" one minute what? awake? left to live?

1 minute til hatman

Not being cringey won't save you from genocide. The people killing us won't suddenly stop if we all behave like "good upstanding citizens" and the quicker you realise this the quicker you'll be able to make actual meaningful changes. So what if something a trans person did is "bad optics" we're human beings who are flawed and still deserve rights not a product to be sold to our oppressors.

we dont talk enough about how awesome folders on the computer are

true love (my take on the "sometimes i wonder what i taste like" meme)

"average user only sees 25 posts per session so they have to be good and varied" factoid actualy just statistical error. average user lives in cave and views 10,000 posts in one unending session. Normal Guy Georg, who has a job and social life & checks tumblr once or twice each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted.

in italy, lesbian parents are being removed from their child’s birth certificate in favor of the ‘biological parent’, regardless if that person ever had a role in raising the child. welsh has been doing this as well. it feels like we’re going back decades.

link to the news article, for anyone curious.

these are the people who claim to be for gay rights, protecting the erasure of lesbians. btw.
