#it feels important to recognize

[paranormal-taters]

I know some people were unhappy with the change in the Lockwood & Co. TV series to make Joplin a woman instead of sticking to the books, but I actually think it was a brilliant choice because it gives a glimpse into another horrific yet entirely realistic reality of a society where children are thrust into roles not meant for them, roles meant for adults. A reality where a predatory adult woman spending a lot of time alone with a teenage boy wouldn't so much as raise an eyebrow, wouldn't merit more than a teasing "Oh, 'Pamela' now, is it?" from the boy's teenage friend. That Lockwood and Lucy didn't pick up on the fact that Joplin was preying on George (albeit for different reasons) makes even more sense in this context because I have to believe that that kind of behavior from the adults towards the front line soldiers that were the children had become a lot more normalized at that point.

does anyone have like an anti aesthetic. like something you look at and can recognize as a complete fashion/interior design/artistic movement and understand it but it makes you shudder seeing it. i am not talking like “its morally bad” “its poorly structured” like just sheerly devoid of joy for you actually invites a repulse response.

when dandadan said the children are our future and we as adults should protect them with our lives if it comes down to it, and when dandadan compared the exploitation of the gig economy to assault in that it denies one of their personhood and autonomy, and when dandadan said we owe it to the most marginalized to see and remember them when society fails them, and when dandadan said violence begets violence and therefore it is brave and just to choose kindness even when it’s hard, and when dandadan said the pressure and expectations we place on children are unfair and have lasting impacts on them, and when dandadan said the world is a rotten place and it’s for that exact reason that you have to choose to help others and try to make it better, and when dandadan said it is possible to forgive those who have hurt you because people are complicated and deeply flawed, and only through doing so can you move forward, and when da—

If you are a fan of anybody's work, whether it be art, writing, music, translating, editing, videos, etc- it is incredibly important that you share that you enjoy their work.

It could be a comment, a tag, an anonymous ask saying thank you or something about their most recent piece you enjoy, anything. Creation is more often than not a social thing, and a little note or comment really goes a long way. People are sharing a little piece of themself every day, here on the internet!

So if you don't mind a little challenge, on the next piece of art* you see that you find personally impactful, leave a little tag or comment saying something about how much it means to you.

*this includes writing, music, edits, jokes, anything that has undergone the act of being created by a person

I meant to say this yesterday morning. For no reason except that this just tends to happen over time and I'm mentally ill.

CALL ME SELFISH... but I love being credited with ideas I've given others or that helped inspire something else for someone. I love it so never worry about @'ing me or telling me that. You don't have to and it typically slips people's minds especially if they liked something enough to make it their own, and I'm sure I do it plenty too (never be afraid to come on my post or in my comments or dms and claim an idea thats yours btw. Tell em!!!)

Actually, the more selfish part comes from the fact that if I think my part is not being acknowledged in something I turn evil as fuck (just annoyed), which I am working on by just ignoring the thing. Because I know I can't claim ideas or thought processes. I just figure I should warn.

Friendly reminder for the Polin fandom:

🚨 Both Show and Book Colin Accuse Penelope of Entrapment 🚨

I need people to READ and REMEMBER the books before they speak on book Colin vs show Colin.

I love that book Colin is loved, because I think the book got a lot of things right that the show got wrong, but there is no reason to pit them against each other in a way that pretty much confirms Colin’s POV isn’t important to you in either medium. I like both versions of Colin and both versions accuse Penelope of entrapment, but yikes the people still going after show Colin for it wouldn’t be able to handle book Colin at all, even if they pretend they could.

What I like about the fact that remus stays in grimmauld as well, is that he obv does have his own place, which is where lie low at lupins takes place.

So now I imagine he just shows up one day in grimmauld and doesn't go away again. He claims a million things between keeping Sirius company to the eased pressure of staying somewhere where someone else pays for food, but in the end it's his very very awkward attempt at courting

A crazy thing about Mouthwashing is that Pony Express lost communication with one of its freighters for months and didn’t send anyone to check.

A genuinely reputable company, or at the very least a decent one, would have sent someone, something out to check after about two weeks of silence. Two months is when the crew start questioning if they are even being looked for which implies they were already expecting it to take a while cause P.E just doesn’t care.

They don’t care about who they hire. They don’t care about the conditions they place their crew in or how safe the safety measures actually are. They just don’t care, made rules and regulations so they can care less and succeed in getting away with it with how little those ideas are discussed.

I find the lines change of this scene really interesting

using your ask box to vent that the daniel is taller than armand propaganda has gotten ridiculous and every time i see a fanart like that i imagine it panning down to the apple crate daniel is standing on
