call down the hawk — maggie stiefvater

but then again, its kind like putting a meat suit on and telling a shark not to eat you

We (men) are not fucking sharks!

We are not rabid animals living off of pure instinct

We are capable of rational thinking and understanding. 

Just because someone is cooking food doesn’t mean you’re entitled to eat it. 

Just because a banker is counting money doesn’t mean you’re being given free money.

Just because a person is naked doesn’t mean you’re entitled to fuck them. 

You are not entitled to someone else’s body just because it’s exposed. 

What is so fucking difficult about this concept?

How can you not reblog something like this

Boom

As a man I’m real fucking tired of the idea that I have no impulse control. We all have it, some of you jackasses just think you’re above it.

FUCKING THIS???

my aesthetic: ezra miller saying that if he had a wand, he would use his power to destroy the patriarchy.

*bonks my stupid head with yours* I love you

Tumblr users are often so arrogant and it shows. They can draw a full cast of POC characters but when POC say "Hey we want more than just our skin tone" they're suddenly deaf as shit.

Representation on Tumblr has become a way for white people to win brownie points just because they took a Hershey's bar and slapped it onto a person's skin tone.

The most disgusting thing is that they insist on making JUST African-Americans. They insist on making JUST one facial type, one nose type, one lip type, one hair type, one slang type, one skin tone.

And when they make a person Asian, it's Japanese. And when they make a person Hispanic, it's Mexican. And when they make a person indigenous, they never specify on which tribe/nation they came from, but you'll bet they're Native AMERICAN.

But my favorite part is when other POC demand representation and those same fucking white people are like "But but but look at all my black characters!!!!"

POC isn't just confined to America.

POC isn't just black.

POC isn't just Japanese.

POC isn't just Mexican.

POC isn't just Native American.

It's from the Miskitu in Nicaragua, from the highlands of Ethiopia, from the deserts of Saudi Arabia, from the mountains of Indonesia. It's from the arroz con gandules, from the folk music, from the festivals. It's many cultures blending, it's speaking more than just English, it's dealing with racism unique to our countries of origin.

It's more than just one universal experience, and white Tumblr isn't willing to show that.

Basically for the people who refuse to fucking read

Can you guys do some actual fucking research on anywhere other than whats at the borders of America before you slap a random ethnicity or race onto a character?

Btw: White people PLEASE reblog but do not clown on the post.

POTENTIAL SPOILERS FROM CALL DOWN THE HAWK!!

So I was thinking about the two swords at the end of the book (Ronan’s “vexed to nightmare” and Jordan’s “from chaos” right)

And the words “vexed to nightmare” were interesting to me and so I did a little google search. It’s from a William Butler Yeats poem called The Second Coming. Here is the whole poem and I think everyone who loves Stiefvater should read the entire thing. It has major TRC/CDtH vibes.

Turning and turning in the widening gyre   The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; (This is kind of a reminder of ‘The Unmaker’ from TRK and also how the Visionaries keep seeing the end of the world in CDtH) Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere   The ceremony of innocence is drowned; (This line in particular makes me think of Matthew) The best lack all conviction, while the worst   Are full of passionate intensity. Surely some revelation is at hand; Surely the Second Coming is at hand.   The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out   When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert   A shape with lion body and the head of a man,   A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,   Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it   Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.   The darkness drops again; but now I know (the darkness drops again - The Lace and/or Nighwash?) That twenty centuries of stony sleep (funny how TRC is about trying to find a sleeping king….) Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle, (Vexed to Nightmare is such a Ronan Lynch / Dreamer phrase – just the whole concept of dreamers and what they can do in general. Very cool.) And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,   Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

So, this whole poem seems to have a lot of imagery that feels very Stiefvater/TRC/Dreamer, especially with how dreaming often leads to bad things happening. It makes me wonder if “From Chaos” is from something equally cool.

Almost broke my finger I retweeted that so hard.

Having election anxiety in the exact same way I did in 2016. The DNC is so divisive. They never cared about the poor and underprivileged. Bernie is the man for change, but clearly they don't want change. They never did.
