Alright guys, I need your help.

I live in Brisbane, Australia where there is currently a Christian College that has students aged 6-18, who have all - a week before school begins - received an updated enrolment contract requiring them to sign saying that they are “the gender god assigned them at birth” and that homosexuality is a sin. They compare it to multiple heinous acts I won’t mention in case Tumblr blokes this message.

Children as young as six are being required to sign this, and if they don’t, a week from the start of term, they will be kicked out of school.

This will have huge repercussions in Australia if it is allowed to stand. Please help. Please reblog, please go to the website and express your disgust. Please help us fight this.

I’m so angry and upset I don’t know what else to do except hope for an internet miracle. I know my following is small, but if you could spread the word even a little it could help stop this from happening.

Here is the petition against this enrolment contract.

This is the school: https://www.facebook.com/citipointeccb/ - give them hell.

EVERYONE REBLOG AND HELP WITH THIS PLEASE

So today is THE day!!!

Thank you Sherlock and John for distracting me from the real world, real problems and real people. It's cruel out there and you two give me respite.

Thank you for introducing us to a love story that is so beautiful yet devastatingly painful that even thinking about few of those moments make me cry. I never wanted a fictional couple to be together this bad..Ever!! ( And I am in my early 30s)

Thank you Benedict Cumberbatch for existing. You made this role even more epic. What can I say, it's criminal to look that good ( and don't even..that voice aghh). This was your best role ever and no one can change my mind. ( Please bring back those curls, mentally I am rolling my fingers around it). I look for Sherlock in every role you do.

Thank you Martin Freeman, my cute little bean. Ahh your smile can light up the screen or send shivers down the the enemy. You are grossly underrated and I still hope you get your due. You were the heart of the show. Brilliance of Benedict needed your magical touch.

Thank you fanfic writers for giving us such moments of pure joy(for free). I owe you guys so much. You keep the fandom alive because Johnlock content is not enough, will never be enough!!!!!

What they said 🥺

I will never accept another version of this scene again. Never.

Updated version of this

I’m fucked.

HAAHHAHAHAHAHA man's did a whole uno reverse

no captions required

Hawt

"Oh my God"

...yes, quite.

Wow! Never been attacked like that.

Ditto

I've been called out in the rudest way

has anyone else ever had a fanfic that just... haunts them? like it's been months and maybe even years since you read it, but it just lingers with you and you can never truly leave behind the imprint it made on you? and maybe it's just a single line, one sentence that you can't shake off, that takes up residence in your mind and stays there, feeding into your psyche and subtly influencing your brainspace and maybe even your writing or other works?

Secrets, by Vorabiza (Biza)

Yep. Definitely this one.

If anyone knows the author's Tumblr, please link it, 'cause this work deserves recognition.

It pains me that Harry’s clapbacks to Snape are worshipped while Ron’s are ignored.

Yes, “there’s no need to call me sir, professor” and “that’s my nickname” are brilliant, but they’re nothing, and I mean nothing, when compared to

“We’re not going to be asking, ‘Excuse me, are you the imprint of a departed soul?’”

Or

“You asked us a question and she knows the answer! Why ask if you don’t want to be told?”

And both times, he was defending his friends. I will die mad about this so don’t fucking try me.

Lin Manuel Miranda; Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson; Terry Crews; Fred Rogers

Taika Waititi: Powerfully creative, Knows himself, Good humored, Takes his work and his relationships with other people seriously, Intentional as a creator

John Mulaney: Publicly supportive of his wife and other women in his life, Crafts humor without taking cheap shots at people, Supportive friend, Willing to laugh at himself yet confident

Andy Samberg: Uses platform and humor to publicly call out toxic masculinity and white privilege, Self-aware, Willing to cede the floor to others, Good friend

Will Smith: Very intentional about what type of actions he takes as a husband and father (if you haven’t watched him on The Red Table, you should), Good humored and professional, Dedicated to his craft putting in the hours and energy, Generous with his emotions and vulnerability, Responsive to others emotions and vulnerability

I read somewhere that one aspect of Toxic Masculinity is believing that being part of a “We” will erase the “I”; that selfhood is threatened by relationships with other people. It reads then that Healthy Masculinity (indeed, healthy people in general) create a “We” that enhances the “I”; that we can become more powerfully ourselves through relationships with other people. 

All these men listed (and many more unlisted) live this type of energy, the one that builds connections without fear of losing the self - and in fact builds the self more with the building of connections. 

This version of this post is important

au where harry absentmindedly answered his ringing phone, tired from all the papers he has to read and sign. it's late. he's fucking knackered. he didn't even bother looking at the caller id. it didn't even registered to him it was malfoy talking on the other side of the line, his secretary.

"potter, kingsley wanted to have a meeting with you at thursday lunch. i'm going to pen it in on your schedule. do not accept any other appointments without consulting me firsthand. merlin knows how forgetful you are. oh do not take it to the heart, i get it. i get it. you passed your newts and that means you have an intact brain inside of your thick skull but i rather think you did it with sheer stubbornness."

"hmmmm."

"i take it that your lack of response means you agree."

"hmmmm."

"potter? are you listening? ㅡ oh the bastard."

"yes yes. hmmmm."

"potter. are you still looking at the reports?"

"hmmmm?"

"potter. go to sleep."

"..."

"i swear to — fuck the things i do for you! potter, if you don't put those reports down and get yourself tucked in in five minutes i will — oh for the love of things that are unholy — you're not listening are you?"

"..."

"HARRY JAMES POTTER."

"wha — what??? malfoy? is that you?"

"PUT THAT PARCHMENT DOWN.

"why are you yelling?!"

"PUT THAT PARCHMENT DOWN."

"okay! okay! no need to work yourself up. i'm putting it down."

"good. go to fucking sleep. if i find out you're still working i will come and murder you myself. do not tempt me."

"you're threatening the head auror?"

"i don't care if you're the head auror. this is my job. you're responsible for my paycheque. you are no good to me if you're not taking care of yourself."

harry released a big yawn and malfoy softened. this big fucking oaf, incapable of not pushing his body to its limits. truly, what would this idiot do if draco didn't come and save the day.

"mhmmm. i'm going to bed now. i can't keep my eyes open anymore."

harry let the exhaustion took over him. he left the study room and face planted himself on his bed.

"potter? i assume you're on your bed now."

"...yeah."

"good night, scarhead."

"mhmmm. night. love you."

it took five seconds for harry to realize his slip. he opened his eyes and looked at the phone. it's still on.

"i mean! err... night. good night! ah Ha HA HA DON'T LET THE BED BUGS BITE—"

"are you taking it back?! i dare you, you fucker! you choose this time to tell me — i will murder you!"

"drac— malfoy! wait let me—"

"i love you too you wanker! we will discuss this in the morning. go to fucking sleep."

the phone line went dead silent. harry wanted to call draco back but he knew draco was panicking. he was too but he let the sleep cradled him while replaying the call's last line. he smiled.

remember when u were like 11 and the only thing u wanted was a lava lamp

gay people: historically, we’ve always existed.

the cishets: *shit themselves in confusion*

Stealing Sweaters (Part 10)

harry the oblivious idiot, i love that lol

If you’re new to the series start here! Links to the other parts on the bottom.

Harry sighed and looked through his trunk again, in case he had missed something the first three times he had looked but no such luck. All his hoodies were gone. He stood, letting his trunk fall closed with a clunk and went over to his bed, pulling up the sheets and looking underneath. He hadn’t worn any of them for ages not since things had started to go bad with Draco. He winced at the thought and the ache lodged firmly in his chest tightened.

“Lost something?”

Harry looked over at Neville, “My hoodies.” he frowned faintly, “but it’s fine. I’ll just wear one of my knit jumpers.”

Neville tipped his wand up, the fine mist that had been spraying over his plants stopped. He murmured and incantation and looped his wand over the little collection of plant, encasing them in a bubble like a miniature greenhouse. “Why not just steal one of Malfoy’s?” he suggested, “He’s always stealing yours after all.”

Harry grimaced, looking over at Draco’s empty bed, “No. We’re not… on good terms.”

Neville’s eyebrows rose slightly in surprise, “You two had a fight? Well, I’m sure you’ll work it out.” He looked over his plants again and gave a little nod before turning away, “Do you want anything from the kitchens?”

Harry shook his head, smiling weakly, “No thanks.”

Neville left and Harry realized he was still staring at Draco’s bed and pulled his eyes away. He stopped though when he noticed a green jumper laying over the end of Draco’s bed. It was darker than Slytherin green and was finely woven, unlike his jumpers from Molly.

I'm in love with this thing ajsjgnlanfnglanfnfmLsbjdlandndkabnsnabfnzn

who’s putting washing machines in their kitchen

British people, apparently

tag with where you live and where your washing machines reside

@aoidachi

In a fucking separate room for the washing machine... Why the fuck would you put that in the kitchen?!?!?

we’re taking the house elves to isengard

XD

Do you know any fics with Draco coming out to his parents? I don’t need anything else and I don’t mind fluff or angst, just he coming out. Thanks!

May I add something, because I will never shut up about this book (Writing Tools by Roy Peter Clark):

Verbs are your volume (said, shouted, shrieked), but adverbs change the pitch (gruffly, hoarsely, delightedly). 

Reblogging because YES to good versus bad adverbs, but also to add: You know, throw as many adverbs as you like in a first draft. Taking out shitty ones or ones that just don’t do anything for you is what editing is for; it’s what 2nd, 3rd, and 4th drafts are for. Also, if you’re writing HP and you really, really want to sound like JKR, you’re actually going to need adverbs, more than is comfortable imo. LOL. It’s all about what you’re after.
