yeah actually we removed the big bad wolf from the little red riding hood story because portraying violence against minors is really messed up. yeah. yeah also the wolf narrative was really predatory and had had some icky grooming vibes and a fable meant for literal children shouldn’t have implied p*do shit and grape so now little red riding hood goes into the woods and nothing happens and she goes to grandma’s house. don’t worry our kids will still stick to the path and know not to follow to wolves implicitly because we told them to and children should always do as their told. just like little red riding hood does now.

they should make a version of socializing that doesn’t make you feel like you’re still the weird 12 year old kid that doesn’t know why she’s not normal like the other kids

I don’t think I’m ever going to be over Edi Gathegi and can’t help but feel so happy for him with his role in James Gunn’s Superman

For those of you who don’t know Edi Gathegi starred in X-Men First Class as the character Dawrin (aka Armando Muñoz)

Dawrin’s powers are literally super adaptation, his body changes to every possible scenario in order to survive.

Gills to breath under water and fins when submerged

Stone skin when struck with an attack

In space his body will change to be able to breathe, when fire is directed at him he will become fire proof, etc. he is essentially unkillable dude to his mutation!

And yet in the movie he gets introduced solely to be killed

The unkillable, Black, Hispanic, Male, character literally gets killed first and acts as a ‘motivator’ for the rest of the cast even though they hardly mention him after his death.

Edi Gathegi even voiced his concerns, only for the studio to promise him that Darwin would eventually come back and be resurrected in future movies but surprise surprise. That never happened.

Years later James Gunn reaches out and askes him to audition to the point he sees 200 people and still ask if Edi Gathegi’s tape has come in.

Edi Gathegi despite his hesitation due to his last super hero movie experience decided to give it a shot and what a way to right a broken promise from the past!!

He not only doesn’t die but plays a vital role in the story, he’s been praised as a scene stealer being one of the most liked characters right behind Superman

Edi has been open in interviews about what this means to him and how happy he was to have this opportunity

Its great to see this come full circle

Uncomfortable facts of life:

Nobody's going to magically swoop in to rescue you. You can't just sit there and expect someone else to come save you. You have to get your shit together and do it yourself.

About 90% of the time, the "it" you have to do on your own is pushing yourself to walk up to someone else and use your words to say "hey I need help."

possession horror where the thing possessing the autistic character causes them to behave in a more neurotypical way. autistic possession horror where the thing inside you is easier to communicate with than you are, the thing inside you doesn’t have a flat affect, the thing inside you doesn’t let your body stim, the thing inside you is how you were told to behave and you can only do it when you are no longer you. autistic possession horror where you will never forget that everyone liked it better than you before they found out something was controlling you. autistic possession horror where they know what’s inside you isn’t you and debate whether it would be easier for everyone to leave you like this anyway. you agree. reblog.

It is actually way better for 100 addicts to get their fix on pain pills than a single person in pain go without. I call this the "Torture is bad" principle. You should be able to get the good stuff forever after a single doctor's visit. If you're worried about addicts fund rehab centers and needle exchanges instead of torturing people.

most important part of the writing process actually is when you loop a single song on max volume and stare at the word document and imagine the characters doing things for 14 hours. this is known as getting in the zone
