You know, Thranduil is actually the only Third Age Elven ruler who isn’t using a Ring of Power to protect his lands. Elrond has Vilya, Galadriel has Nenya, and even Cirdan (ruler of the Grey Havens) had Narya until he gave it to Gandalf.

So for thousands of years Thranduil has been defending his lands on his own against Orcs, Goblins, and Giant Spiders, plus Sauron setting up a summer home in his forest. And yet his hair STILL looks perfect.

thor is the friend you call when you wanna do something and all your other friends think it’s boring you could be like “hey, thor, do you wanna take a knitting class with me?” and he’d say sure because he likes learning new midgardian things and he loves you and he’s canonically one of those people that likes seeing the smiles on other people’s faces when they’re doing something they really love to do

thor always tries so hard to see the best in everyone and they keep letting him down. thor was still trying to save his evil fuck up of a brother in the dark world because he still saw something worth saving SOMEHOW.  thor literally spent like a weekend on midgard before deciding to defend it. thor thinks the world of his fellow avengers even when they fuck up. thor is goddamn sunshine, thor is such a pleasant breeze, thor is my heart

I wonder if Vader ever found out that the droid who carried the Death Star plans was Artoo.

I can just imagine him thinking: “This explains everything. My men didn’t stand a chance.”

Normal Horoscope:

Aires: The night has a thousand eyes, be very careful not to poke any of them. What did the night ever do to you?

Taurus: Be on the lookout for something that looks like its made of driftwood and light. He trades bad memories for fast food cupons.

Gemini: If you come across a library of forbidden knowledge tended by the dead dont try to check anything out. You can only get a card if you’re a legal citizen of an afterlife plane and it would be very embarrassing if you weren’t.

Cancer: Not every day will be one of triumph. You will fail, you will be lost, you will be scared. Fertilizer is made from plants whose time has passed.

Leo: You must be brave enough to produce terrible things. The key is discipline, fuck standards.

Virgo: The internet has made it possible to be scared to talk to girls that are thousands of miles away. 

Libra: Make sure to empty your dream catcher into a wastebasket every couple days. Otherwise you might attract things that try to eat the dreams suck there.

Scorpio: If you’re gonna break rules, for the love of god do it with some style.

Ophiuchus: Hiding under the covers actually works with some things. It is technically a threshold and so some things do actually have to be invited.

Sagittarius: “two birds one stone” Is a misleading proverb. Meteorites hit pretty hard.

Capricorn: Most armor is not resistant to funk based weaponry. 

Aquarius: Harvest from the rich and give to the poor. They wont need the blood for much longer anyway.

Pisces: Make up your own constellations, pray to your own gods, command unknown forces of your own divination. Steal from everything. This is real magic.

i love evil. i love villains. i love long coats and scarves and gloves. i love the smug and dramatic speech patterns. i love the clicking of boots on the ground as they pace around the lab chair you’re strapped into. i love to believe them when they talk about how powerful they are, even though i know it’s not true, even though i know how exaggerated it is, just to play along, just because it’s fun. because it is! it’s fun!

The narrative that men are all inherently bad, that masculinity can only be toxic, that any association with maleness is wrong, and that “choosing” to be more masculine is aligning yourself with the enemy,

Does actually hurt trans men.

A lot.

Nobody wants to be “the enemy”. Nobody wants to hurt women, to hurt their loved ones, to be an abuser. When these things are made synonymous with manhood, it becomes uncomfortable and even horrifying to realize that you yourself might be a man.

My ex was a lesbian who spent 5 years driving into me that any expression of femininity was virtuous and progressive, and any expression of masculinity was proof that I still “needed work”. For 5 years, I learned that the best thing I could possibly be was a feminine cis woman.

Two years after ending that relationship, I began to see transmascs (not many, but a few) speak up about the fact that trans men do face legitimate problems in society, and do not in fact oppress cis women. Not long after, I finally began to realize and accept that I myself am a trans man.

This is not an uncommon narrative. Demonizing maleness and masculinity as The Ultimate Enemy doesn’t help anyone; your enemy is the patriarchy. Not individual, marginalized and oppressed men.

All this serves to do is silence these groups, and make trans men fear the possibility that they themselves might be men. It perpetuates transphobia, it encourages violence against trans men, it silences trans men, and it pressures trans men back into the closet for fear of “becoming the enemy” instead.

Masculinity is not evil, men are not evil, maleness is not abusive, men are not all abusers and predators, testosterone is not “poison”, and trans men do not deserve to be punished for being trans men.

Think about who your words actually impact; do you think it’s the most privileged people who are going to listen and take them to heart, or do you think that it’s the oppressed who are ultimately going to be most harmed by your “righteous hatred”?
