In Pacific Rim (2013), Charlie Hunnam and Robert Kazinsky play two different characters— a subtle nod to them being two different actors, despite me being unable to tell them apart on the first viewing of the movie.
Always reblog. I am a mosaic of those who gave me time and love.

My friend takes this one step further and refers completely accurately to his girlfriend Danielle as "My partner, Dan"
Also i hate to say it but for some people, boyfriend/girlfriend feels a bit juvenile, say, if youre over 30, or perhaps youve been with someone for a very long time and are committed life partners but not married for whatever reason. Maybe husband/wife feels a little watered down to you and you want to establish the equal nature of your relationship.
Partner is a wonderful word and it should be normalized.
Transmisogynists have been talking about putting “terfs don’t interact” banners on their own posts to trick people into reblogging them
So remember to look at people’s urls before reblogging
Every fucking time this post blows up I get terfs in my notes. Which means some of you well meaning people reblogging this have terf followers without even knowing
b-atiful
shit like this is why its so important to actually KNOW terf rhetoric and dog whistles and be able to recognize the bullshit even devoid of the context of transmisogyny. because all of their ideas perpetuate it, but most dont explicitly state it.
i dont have a comprehensive list rn but honestly if you see any posts that are like “all men are predisposed to violence and are inherently horrible” thats probably terf shit. please just pay attention to stuff you reblog
i hope it’s alright for me to add some of my observations because i just spent the past two weeks blocking terfs upon terfs from a post of mine that blew up (there were a few of their blogs that i went through to grab more urls; whoever they were reblogging from regularly and some of the blogs that were recommended by tumblr for being similar to them):
a blog might be run by a terf or party to the platforming of terf rhetoric…
- if they refer to themselves as “radfems” (or “RF”) “gender critical” (“GC” for short) or as terves, terven, being “biologically female” or a “biological woman” or “biological lesbian”, tehm (trans-exclusionary homosexual male), febfem, vixenamoric, or “gold-star lesbian”
- if they place strong emphasis on “believing in science/biology” and being a “real” “female” lesbian (you may also observe a lot of blatant butchphobia coupled with this sentiment; demonization of masculinity and condemnation of “glorifying” masculinity or “maleness”) - to a lesser degree, some covert terfs use “critical thinker” as a stand-in for “gender critical”, and “chromosomal woman” or “XX” or “womban/wombyn” to denote chromosomes and uteri
- if they post a lot about the “nordic model” (re: “ending prostitution”), being strongly anti-porn and anti-sexwork, often refusing to call it sexwork and instead referring to it as sex trafficking (to lump consensual sexwork in with actual sex trafficking) - while not all swerfs are transmisogynists or transphobes, many terfs are swerfs
- if they fixate on, as the addition prior to this one mentions, “all men being predisposed to violence” and are insistent that men are also inherently rapists
- if they, as shown in the screenshots above, refer to trans-inclusive feminists as “libfems”
- if they make posts or share ‘articles’ (always by obviously disreputable news outlets) about ‘high numbers’ of trans people being pedophiles or sex offenders (by the way, this is why terfs in the uk are trying so hard to make trans health records public, including supporting health secretary sajid javid’s intentions to allow researchers free access the private medical history of trans people, including trans minors - they genuinely, seriously believe that there is no difference between being transgender and being a sex criminal and they want there to be a public list of trans people like there are sex offender registries)
- if they post shit like “terf is a slur against lesbians” and “when they say no terfs they mean no lesbians” - often labeling themselves as “political lesbians” or “lesbian separatists” (i.e. “get the L out” and “drop the T”) and identifying strongly with regressive waves of feminism
- if they talk about autogynephilia like it’s a real or valid thing (and not the ramblings of a literal white supremacist)
- if they refer to LGBTQ+ educational material (presentations, literature, videos, etc.) as “tra propaganda” or “brainwashing” or “misogynist conditioning”
- if they talk about trans women being “socialized male”
- if they post a lot about female genital mutilation (FGM) in combination with consistently trans-exclusionary language and other dogwhistles or warning signs from this list, additionally referring to top surgery (or gender-affirming mastectomy), chest binding, and phalloplasty as FGM

Okay.
Some shit stirrer here wants to dispute Book!Naomi’s blackness, and is saying that readers are free to imagine her as any race they want.
You have no idea how fucking pissed this makes me.
From Leviathan Wakes, Holden’s POV:
And from Miller’s POV:
Do not fucking try my patience. Book and Show Naomi is a goddamn goddess and you can fuck your racist ass on out of here.
....damn, they’re dumb as fuck

I really loved Chapter 17’s callback to Chapter 14 where Reinhard promotes both Kircheis and Oberstein to important dual leadership roles despite Oberstein’s warning of the risk. In Chapter 17, Bewcock turns down the same kind of promotion, stating that, “We must disperse any risks.” It’s also a foreboding sign that those asking for Bewcock to assume two very different and powerful leadership positions have a similar line of thinking as Reinhard.
Jughead breaking the fourth wall to say something important
Hope you don’t mind my cringey edit. But really this whole situation is cringe
#AroAceJugheadOrBust
PS: Wow, since people are liking this far a lot than my other posts, I thought I might also mention I started a fanfic about Jughead, where he ends up meeting his TV show self. They don’t quite manage to break the fourth wall, but they do talk about his aro-ace-ness from pretty much the second chapter onwards. It’s over here if you want to read it!! —-> http://archiveofourown.org/works/10683855/chapters/23657439
