His breath comes out choppy, like he's just sprinted several miles, his chest flushed a deep red, long hair tangled, while the warm glow of the candles around them frame him softly and reflect in his golden eyes, and the tears that are gathered there, along with those that had already marked pathways down his reddened cheeks. In short, he's the picture of ethereal beauty, and Sokka would gladly spend the rest of his days paying tribute to his new deity.

this is entirely the fault of the zukka nation server, who agreed we need more zuko with a bob

I don't draw a whole lot but decided to try my hand, so here's my original sketch and colored version

I'm surprisingly happy with how it turned out

adults are always talking about how “kids will do anything to get out of school” and okay, first of all that’s not true, but I think we really need to ask why that idea holds so much sway.

children’s brains are hard-wired to take in new information and acquire new skills. consider, for a moment, just how thoroughly our society had to fuck up the concept of education for it to be a normal thing to assume kids are universally desperate to avoid learning.

realizing that sticking to the "do it bad" "do it scared" mentality implies theres also a "do it bored"

A pretty much self indulgent Husk Overlord AU where he gambled against Val, Husk wins and in exchange, he keeps his casino and Angel's contract is transferred to Husk ;) Oh yeah and they get RINGS!!!

Absolutely I can add lyrics:

Split me open down the center to see what's inside

Take my parts and analyze them to find what I tried to hide

You can use me just to prove what you think you know

But there are just so many things that an autopsy won't show

Like

The tears I cried

As you tried

To tear me apart

The hope that fled

While I bled

When you ripped out my heart

If you read the notes

That you coldly wrote

You will find

The cause of death was

All the neglect cause

You just never had the time

Okay, hopefully it works this time, tumblr wouldn't let me attach an audio from my phone, and it wouldn't let me add the video version to @long-live-astronerd-ghost-king's post, which you should absolutely check out. It's dcxdp, Danny and the others make a band, and I got inspired by one of the hypothetical song names and made a little demo for 'What an Autopsy Won't Show'

THROUGH A RAPIST’S EYES” (PLS TAKE TIME TO READ THIS. It may save a life, It may save your life.)

An Article from Neena Susan Thomas

“Through a rapist’s eyes. A group of rapists and date rapists in prison were interview…ed on what they look for in a potential victim and here are some interesting facts:

1] The first thing men look for in a potential victim is hairstyle. They are most likely to go after a woman with a ponytail, bun! , braid, or other hairstyle that can easily be grabbed. They are also likely to go after a woman with long hair. Women with short hair are not common targets.

2] The second thing men look for is clothing. They will look for women who’s clothing is easy to remove quickly. Many of them carry scissors around to cut clothing.

3] They also look for women using their cell phone, searching through their purse or doing other activities while walking because they are off guard and can be easily overpowered.

4] The number one place women are abducted from / attacked at is grocery store parking lots.

5] Number two is office parking lots/garages.

6] Number three is public restrooms.

7] The thing about these men is that they are looking to grab a woman and quickly move her to a second location where they don’t have to worry about getting caught.

8] If you put up any kind of a fight at all, they get discouraged because it only takes a minute or two for them to realize that going after you isn’t worth it because it will be time-consuming.

9] These men said they would not pick on women who have umbrellas,or other similar objects that can be used from a distance, in their hands.

10] Keys are not a deterrent because you have to get really close to the attacker to use them as a weapon. So, the idea is to convince these guys you’re not worth it.

POINTS THAT WE SHOULD REMEMBER:

1] If someone is following behind you on a street or in a garage or with you in an elevator or stairwell, look them in the face and ask them a question, like what time is it, or make general small talk: can’t believe it is so cold out here, we’re in for a bad winter. Now that you’ve seen their faces and could identify them in a line- up, you lose appeal as a target.

2] If someone is coming toward you, hold out your hands in front of you and yell Stop or Stay back! Most of the rapists this man talked to said they’d leave a woman alone if she yelled or showed that she would not be afraid to fight back. Again, they are looking for an EASY target.

3] If you carry pepper spray (this instructor was a huge advocate of it and carries it with him wherever he goes,) yelling I HAVE PEPPER SPRAY and holding it out will be a deterrent.

4] If someone grabs you, you can’t beat them with strength but you can do it by outsmarting them. If you are grabbed around the waist from behind, pinch the attacker either under the arm between the elbow and armpit or in the upper inner thigh – HARD. One woman in a class this guy taught told him she used the underarm pinch on a guy who was trying to date rape her and was so upset she broke through the skin and tore out muscle strands the guy needed stitches. Try pinching yourself in those places as hard as you can stand it; it really hurts.

5] After the initial hit, always go for the groin. I know from a particularly unfortunate experience that if you slap a guy’s parts it is extremely painful. You might think that you’ll anger the guy and make him want to hurt you more, but the thing these rapists told our instructor is that they want a woman who will not cause him a lot of trouble. Start causing trouble, and he’s out of there.

6] When the guy puts his hands up to you, grab his first two fingers and bend them back as far as possible with as much pressure pushing down on them as possible. The instructor did it to me without using much pressure, and I ended up on my knees and both knuckles cracked audibly.

7] Of course the things we always hear still apply. Always be aware of your surroundings, take someone with you if you can and if you see any odd behavior, don’t dismiss it, go with your instincts. You may feel little silly at the time, but you’d feel much worse if the guy really was trouble.

FINALLY, PLEASE REMEMBER THESE AS WELL ….

1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do: The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do it.

2. Learned this from a tourist guide to New Orleans : if a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away from you…. chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or purse than you and he will go for the wallet/purse. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!

3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car: Kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy. The driver won’t see you but everybody else will. This has saved lives.

4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping,eating, working, etc., and just sit (doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc. DON’T DO THIS! The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side,put a gun to your head, and tell you where to go. AS SOON AS YOU CLOSE the DOORS , LEAVE.

5. A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot, or parking garage:

a. Be aware: look around your car as someone may be hiding at the passenger side , peek into your car, inside the passenger side floor, and in the back seat. ( DO THIS TOO BEFORE RIDING A TAXI CAB) .

b. If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger door. Most serial killers attack their victims by pulling them into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars.

c. Look at the car parked on the driver’s side of your vehicle, and the passenger side. If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back into the mall, or work, and get a guard/policeman to walk you back out. IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)

6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. (Stairwells are horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot).

7. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times; And even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN!

8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP IT! It may get you raped, or killed. Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking, well educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting women. He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often asked “for help” into his vehicle or with his vehicle, which is when he abducted his next victim.

Send this to any woman you know that may need to be reminded that the world we live in has a lot of crazies in it and it’s better safe than sorry.

I am gently asking fans—especially younger fans who may not be aware of fandom history, and there seems to be quite a number of them in the Star Wars: Rebels fandom—to learn the difference between / and & when it comes to relationship tagging on AO3.

The forward slash “/” denotes a romantic relationship.

The ampersand “&” denotes a non-romantic relationship.

And if the relationship tag you want to use doesn’t yet exist, write it out anyway and the tag wranglers will take care of it. This is infinitely better than using a preexisting incorrect relationship tag.

Tagging your fic correctly ensures that people who want to find your fic can find it and those who don’t want to see it can filter it out of their search results. It’s integral to letting your readers know what they’re in for when they read your story. And there’s a certain element of respect and author responsibility to it as well.

Thank you. I have spoken.

Just an experiment. Reblog if you actually give a fuck about male victims of domestic violence and rape.

Of fucking course

In my last post (the pinned post about commisions), I mentioned that I'm a musician, which is true! But I've never posted anything I've done here before, and recently I recorded a video of me playing a cover of little clown by PhemieC (they have a bunch of fandom songs on their YouTube channel, this one being a Sober!Gamzee -Homestuck- fan song). Highly recommend checking them out, if you haven't yet! So I decided to share it here! Unfortunately I haven't figured out how to attach my own mp3 files to a tumblr post so you get a video that has no image! (Sorry)

(PS, @phemiec if this isn't okay with you, I will happily take it down and find a different song to post, this was just the most recent thing I recorded)
