Love how tumblr has its own folk stories. Yeah the God of Arepo we’ve all heard the story and we all still cry about it. Yeah that one about the woman locked up for centuries finally getting free. That one about the witch who would marry anyone who could get her house key from her cat and it’s revealed she IS the cat after the narrator befriends the cat.

Might I add:

The defeat of the wizard who made people choose how they’d be to be executed

The woman who raised the changeling alongside her biological child

The human who died of radiation poisoning after repairing the spaceship

The adventures of a space roomba

Cinderella finding Araura (and falling in love)

I don’t know a snappy description but the my nemesis cynthia story certainly lives in my head

I am in love with you /p

What about the one with the princess locked in a tower learning to become a wizard? That’s lived in my mind for years and I haven’t seen it in a long time

Wow! @writing-prompt-s contributing to like half of these!

I can hardly take any credit for these stories! But I love sharing them. Unfortunately I cannot read all the prompt responses so please tag me if you want me to reblog a story that resonated with you so I can give it a little boost :)

its so disturbing how many people get appendectomies when there's no evidence that it even helps with appendicitis :/ hm? oh? no i know about that but it wasn't double blind so it doesn't count. you know. one of those double blind appendectomy studies where we give people with appendicitis a placebo appendectomy and the doctors doing it also don't know if they've actually removed the appendix or not at the end of the procedure. yeah nobody's done one of those so the evidence doesn't count and if looks like there's just no evidence for appendectomies :/ and some of the people getting them might be autistic so idk if they can really consent to having their body permanently altered... but of course you can't talk about any of this because of Woke nowadays...

this just. isn’t true lol. from the publicly available data that i can find… no.

they seem to have this idea that 1. the best outcome here is actually to avoid transition, and 2. anything that might lead to transition(a concern that has no scientific basis) is inherently harmful. even if that thing is shown to help.

besides, you can’t start hormones at 11, but you can start “natural” puberty. puberty blockers DO give you that time and stop the irreversible changes puberty brings.

and as for the data…

one study of almost 10,000 trans children found that transitioning younger was correlated with better mental health outcomes, so long as that child wasn’t bullied. almost ten thousand children.

this study found that with support and access to social transition, “transgender children who are supported in their gender identity have developmentally normative levels of depression and only minimal elevations in anxiety, suggesting that psychopathology is not inevitable within this group”. aka, you can avoid the mental health struggles correlated with being transgender if you fucking support your kids. 

treating transgender children and adolescence, an interdisciplinary discussion” is an excellent review of transgender and the first chapter goes through the correct steps to take as for treating children and the results. if you want to understand transgender children, great book. here’s a quote-

“In contrast to what happens in children, gender dysphoria rarely changes or desists in adolescence who have been gender dysphoric since childhood and remain so after puberty(Seensma, Biemond, de Boer, & Cohen-Ketenis, 2011)”

Everybody acts like each new Game Changer is a new level of betrayal and psychological torture from Sam towards his friends. Did we forget that the very first game changer was "Sam wheels out a strange machine and asks the contestants embarrassing personal questions, the veracity of their responses is judged by the Machine. The machine is actually controlled by the contestant's significant others who have been made accomplices. Forcing their loved ones into revealing shameful truths for internet broadcast." And sure, he's gotten a bit more personalized with these, constructing a variety of torture chambers for Brennan Lee Mulligan specifically, putting Grant O'Brien in various situations and then bringing his mother onto the set. But deception and betrayal were part of Game Changer from the beginning. So, when I hear people say "I can't believe Sam WENT THERE" about something all I can do is think to myself He went nowhere He's been there the whole time
