this one has breached containment (which, fair enough, we're on the anxiety and crafting website) but i do feel i should say that this was posted through supremely gritted teeth

hey look you don’t have to be unanxious but you do have to live your life. do it anxious

this is what god exists for

having anti punitive justice morals sucks because you want to say "man that guy sucks he should get hit with hammers until he dies" but you also want to make it clear you don't think anyone should be put in charge of the 'hit people with hammers until they die" machine.

Speaking as a survivor of child sex abuse: the world would be a lot better if yall spent less time talking about the ways in which pedophiles should be punished and more time supporting survivors and preventing abuse

I get it, punishment can feel cathartic. I’ve certainly spent time imagining all the ways in which my own abuser might be punished. But ultimately, him dying, or being jailed, or publicly shamed, isn’t actually going to help me nor will it stop more kids from getting hurt in the future.

I don’t want more prisoners. I want free therapy with trauma informed counselors. I want better sex education for young children that teaches them about consent and body autonomy. And I want a society in which I can openly discuss my trauma, or at least as openly as yall discuss the evils of pedophiles

oh, he’s named tenna for antenna, huh

tenna was an instant hit because of his shippability with so many other characters in pairings that just make So Much Sense:

spamton/tenna: iconic divorced couple. essentially canon. your huge tv/the popup notification on your phone. foreshadowed like crazy. sharing custody of a child but tenna doesn't recognise him, somehow. his little mailman.

queen/tenna: evil girlboss & pathetic malewife. old tech vs new tech. she's overbearing and he's needy. perfect codependence. she'd bully the hell out of him. both divorced once already. bound to start an electrical fire

mettaton/tenna: mettaton literally calls tenna his "awakening". i saw the tv glow if your tv was sentient. the young performer & his stage. something something tv taught me how to feel now real life has no appeal

and even then that tells you more about the construction of the sport than the athletes. are women losing because the events are tailored to taller people at the expense of shorter ones? to prioritize arm strength over balance? or because they haven’t had the opportunity to train for it? or because they aren’t competing against the same people? it’s possible to change all of these things to favor ~*women’s strengths*~ instead of ~*men’s strengths*~ or to be equally difficult for both because a bunch of the categories were created specifically to maintain the myth of gendered hierarchy.

“trans people in sports is such a complex issue” it really isn’t. make the sports skills-based instead of segregated by gender. “ohhh but so many people’s lives depend on their sports for scholarships” okay then let’s make university universally funded so people don’t have to worry about paying for it based on how well they can throw a ball. how are you not keeping up

this is mccoy erasure and i shall not stand for it

This is Captain Kirk of the USS Enterprise speaking. We’ve entered the orbit of a planet not terribly unlike our own… save that it is exclusively populated by petty old queens.

№ 997 | Hiro

Hiro jumps and just manages to catch the edge of the gutter. The aluminum crumples slightly, but holds. He can see the gremlin (or whatever it is) sneering at him across a canted expanse of shingles.

Roof's in great shape, he thinks, pulling himself up. The whole house,actually. Shame about the metaphysics.

He takes a cautious step. The sword is strapped to his back and he adjusts the angle slightly. Good old sword, useful in a lot of different situations. But let's be real here, also sort of a pain. There's a reason you don't see more of them around.

a story concerning Hiro.

this is a very very common form of movie musical song, and why so many of them are about professional singers and dancers, like don and cosmo are — you want people to burst into song and dance at the drop of a hat, you make your story about people who have filled themselves to bursting with singing and dancing. this was the way the astaire/rogers musicals worked, too: fred was usually a professional hoofer. it makes the movies in this mold, well, not necessarily more grounded than the sondheimesque musicals that are seen as the contemporary form now, but something closer to grounded.

recently, sinners did the same trick. there are a ton of musical numbers in the movie because it's a movie about musicians and dancers. all the numbers are happening diagetically for the characters, in a way that stage musicals seem to mostly eschew.
