my blog is, and always will be, a safe place for people who are not confident in their english speaking abilities. you will never be judged or mocked here.

1) Your English is probably better than you think it is. I’ve read many posts that ended with something along the lines of “sorry for my bad English” and was surprised because it was worded exactly the way a native English speaker would word it.

2) The main purpose of language is to communicate. Even if communication is a little awkward, as long as we can understand what the other person is trying to say, there’s no need for it to be perfect.

3) You speak English better than I can speak your language.

4) You speak English better than I can speak English .

5) Being able to speak a second language at all is a huge achievement and something most of the people ragging on “bad English” are incapable of themselves. You’re doing great.

6) “bad English” suggests there’s such a thing as “good English”….and have you SEEN this language? We just live like this.

People with most mainstream tastes imaginable should not open their mouth on how anti piracy they are btw. Yea no shit you can depend on legal sources to watch Marvel and listen to tswift and Maroon 5. Thank you so much for signing the petition to close that platform that was the only one i could download this 2008 romanian dungeon synth ep from

Cheryl Dunye’s directorial debut, The Watermelon Woman, was out of print between 2000 and 2018. Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace was only available to watch on a pirate channel on YouTube until last year. There is still no way to watch the X-Files spinoff, The Lone Gunmen except to own a dvd box set that has been out of print since 2005. Or to pirate it. It’s on YouTube.

Piracy is incredibly important to keep media that’s weird, or out there or just embarrassing to someone in power, alive. We need piracy and we need to stop being snitches when someone pirates stuff.

Absolutely true

you are so right

Also while we’re here I want everyone to appreciate that This

This wild, wonderful, beautifully animated and heartfelt queer story started here

Here, on tumblr, by an art student who’s wrestling with his identity, mental health, and religious trauma

Tell your stories, kids, you never know how many people will thank you for it

Every once in a while people start rebbloging this again and im left wondering why

I just saw a story on AO3 tagged "pet p!ay"

TIK TOK MUST BE STOPPED BEFORE IT DESTROYS LANGUAGE

Ok, unless something's going on I'm not aware of (extremely likely), I gotta point out the term "Pet Play" is significantly older than Tik Tok, or most of its userbase for that matter.

Yeah, I'm not mad about using the term "pet play". That's a perfectly fine term. I'm mad because they didn't use that term: they used "pet p!ay", a censored version

Oh. Oh gawd I missed that. Objection withdrawn, that is objectively terrible.

To anybody who is new to posting on ao3, if you’re using a tag you have to use the correct spelling of that tag. People aren’t going to type in every version of a censored word to hide or look for your content 

For everyone new to tumblr, the same rule applies to tumblr too.

You cannot censor your tags! Censored tags cannot be block or filtered. Censoring tags HARMS your audience, it does not protect them

Ok I’m really curious

I’m sorry who in their right mind would call that anything but a puppy cup. It’s a fucking puppy cup. Who’s out there calling it a fucking fluffy cup.

……..I do…………

Ok I feel the need to specify that these are roleplay blogs for a furry webcomic and that this poll takes place within said furry webcomic. Their world is entirely furries. None of these are real names for kiddy cones. The joke is that since it’s a world full of a bajillion different species with a bajillion different terms for their kids that they don’t have one specific name for the cone. Am I making sense.

ah you see I see this post on my dash with no context and I think perhaps people just have insane regional names for ice cream cones that I have never heard

And if you're into women instead of men, I have some great news: the same technique applies for seducing autistic women!

You can in fact use this method to seduce autistic people of all genders!

Great news! This works for ADHD people as well!

reblogging SPECIFICALLY for the End Note which is widely applicable

[Video description: A stitched tiktok.

The first part is of the same person roleplaying both a parent and a child. The child character is eating a donut and says "I think I'm a girl".

It cuts to the parent character, angry, saying "Well you're not. Shut up and eat your donut."

The second part is a stitch by @/freshcoralblast who says:

"So I'm a mystical being that can tell the future. I'm gonna give you uh, a play by play on what's gonna go down for the next 20 years."

"So I'm sitting on the floor, you might as well get comfortable while I tell you what's gonna go down. So that's gonna keep happening, it's gonna keep happening."

"At about 9, maybe 10, he's gonna ask for a pink colored Nerf gun instead of a blue one, and you're gonna get really passive aggressive about it, and he's not gonna know why, but he's old enough to remember shit now, and that's gonna be a problem later on."

"Wow! Later on happens. 13, 14, 15, this age range is very very important for a parent not being a cunt like you, but here we are. Because whatever you say, that kid's gonna go against it and start questioning shit."

"And one day you're gonna catch him wearing like, a crop top, and you're gonna kick his ass, you're gonna- cause these are the types of people that like, physically abuse their kids when they do something wrong, you know."

"Now you don't know it yet, but, you lost them forever. For ever. He's gone. He's gonna never bring friends over to your house, no, he's gonna tell all his friends, yell "my parents are assholes, can I go to your house?"." "And that's where he's gonna be, trying on fucking feminine clothing, putting on make-up, because he knows that he's not gonna get abused by anyone by doing that. You know, it's gonna be great. He's gonna have a great time."

"And then college happens, and he's gonna get a real taste of adulthood and freedom away from you, and I wouldn't be surprised if she fully transitioned by 20. Like, just completely."

"And in that time, you're gonna talk less and less and less and less, you're not gonna know who she's in a relationship with, if she's getting married, her first house, what state she lives in, she's never ever gonna show you her kids, never. You're never gonna meet your grandkids."

"And... You're not gonna know why. you're gonna be so far up your own ass, that you're just not gonna accept that you have been the problem for decades, and... That's it."

"You're gonna be on your deathbed in 40 fucking years and just go, "Man, where did I go wrong?", but I'm telling you the answer, and you're not gonna believe it, but here we are."

"And just as an ending note, you don't love your kids. Love is unconditional. What you do is very conditional. "Be exactly how I want you to be or I'm not gonna love you". You don't fucking love your kids. Don't you dare pretend, don't you tell them that you love them without meaning it. That's fucked up."

End video description.]

As someone who cut off contact with their bio family decades ago, they absolutely are not going to figure out where they went wrong. If they were willing to do the self reflection thing they would have done that a long time ago.

Cutting off contact with them was one of the best decisions I ever made. I’ve never regretted it and I would do it again in a heartbeat. Will they wonder where they went wrong on their deathbeds? Probably not. But it doesn’t matter to me. I have my own life now and my happiness does not depend on them taking ownership of their actions.

my brain just spat out what is simultaneously the best and worst potential end credit scene for fnaf

a bunch of cops are surveying the inside of the wreckage of freddy's. there's dead bodies. they're taking pictures. chatting amongst themselves. whatever. one guy in a detective style trenchcoat is standing off to the side. his back is to the camera. one of the cops breaks away and approaches the detective guy.

"so, what do you think happened here?"

"i'm not sure."

the entire audience freezes in horror as they realize. they know that voice. the camera pans around to face the guy, and slowly. matpat removes the sunglasses he's wearing indoors.

"but i have a theory."

smash cut to black. the theater collapses, killing me, in the audience, instantly--

I just saw a story on AO3 tagged "pet p!ay"

Reblog to give the person you reblogged from the ability to finish their WIPs

personally, and this is just my opinion, i think that maybe if u don’t like watching something u should not watch it. perhaps

become best friends with your ten year old self im so fucking serious

i really need you guys to stop adding shit to this post and messaging me like “no my ten year old self was a huge asshole and undeserving of my kindness”. im not anyones fucking therapist but if im making a post about healing my inner child i would like to not be barraged with peoples comments and DMs about how their inner child selves are actually so terrible and evil.

lets consider that maybe you were awful then - the fact that you’ve changed enough to feel that way proves that the child that you were had something in them to make the choice to grow and do better. more likely you really werent as awful as you think and you mightve been in bad situations that you didnt know how to handle.

regardless this post is not the place to tear into yourself like that. like i’m trying to engage with some positivity here and if you really hate it you could just ignore the post.

you cannot grow without some love in the world and that includes love from yourself. you can be best friends with your child self without condoning whatever they did or thought that you’re so against now. you have advantages now that you didnt have then, time and experience and a more developed brain and probably more autonomy. you can love them for their best and understand and unpack their worst. if you believe in being basically kind to others maybe extend a little of that to yourself.

also if the issue is you think you were soo cringe back then. like. listen to me. yeah. come here. a little closer.

cringe isnt real.
