You know, when I see fictional characters who repress all their emotions, they're usually aloof and very blunt about keeping people at a distance, sometimes to an edgy degree—but what I don't see nearly enough are the emotionally repressed characters who are just…mellow.
Think about it. In real life, the person that's bottling up all their emotions is not the one that's brooding in the corner and snaps at you for trying to befriend them. More often than not, it's that friendly person in your circle who makes easy conversation with you, laughs with you, and listens and gives advice whenever you're upset. But you never see them upset, in fact they seem to have endless patience for you and everything around them—and so you call them their friend, you trust them. And only after months of telling them all your secrets do you realize…
…they've never actually told you anything about themselves.
I did some Legend of Korra redraws of scenes I thought were neat :)
From what I recall, the first time I saw 'rainbow capitalism' from a big brand was this image from Oreo in 2012.
It created a lot of controversy. Calls for boycotts and such. But Oreo didn't take it down. They were unapologetic and didn't try to appease the homophobes or backtrack.
And I know this sounds weird, but it was like a shift. Proof that public opinion or acceptance of queerness was widespread enough for a company to consider it profitable.
“this female character was such a bitch” don’t care + didn’t ask + i’m holding her hand right now and you’re not
Liberating this from the tags @vivi266 because you're so fucking right
I think that all terfs who call themselves "females" should watch this video

This is page 45 in the book "Females" by Andrea Long Chu.
In the United States the man known as the father of gynecology, J. Marion Sims, built the field in the antebellum South, operating on enslaved women in his backyard, often without anesthesia — or, of course, consent. As C. Riley Snorton has recently documented, the distinction between biological females and women as a social category, far from a neutral scientific observation, developed precisely in order for the captive black woman to be recognized as female — making Sims's research applicable to his women patients in polite white society — without being granted the status of social and legal personhood. Sex was produced, in other words, precisely at the juncture where gender was denied. In this sense, a female has always been less than a person.
Acknowledgement of this, however, would require terfs to give a fuck about black women. Which they never do.
“sex was produced precisely at the juncture where gender was denied.” interesting that the mentality that was developed to deny black women bodily autonomy is now also being used to deny trans people bodily autonomy. bigots love to say that you aren’t your gender: you are your SEX.
the idea that an entire person’s identity, life, and freedoms can be reduced to a physiological trait has been, and still is being, used to justify violence against people of color, disabled people, and queer people alike.
I hope u get eaten out while your fav song plays u all deserve that

“Your ancestors are amazed at all your spices!”
“Your ancestors are impressed that you are an educated woman!”
“Your ancestors are proud that you are thriving in spite of what society did to them and you”
It’s all very sweet! But! Necromancy! Is! Still! Illegal! Your ancestors are going back in the ground!
Stop resurrecting them to show off!
