having a very normal night on tumblr, I see

[slowroastedpotato]

Eres… un arco colgado que renuncia ya a la lucha; un pedazo de hombre honrado … y una marioneta, “flacucha”; - un golpe de voz enojado… que en la indiferencia alumbra !!

Eres… esa espada enfurecida que de paz y amor relumbra; esa atmósfera clara y limpia… que destruye las penumbras; ese eco de sinrazón insípida… que proviene de ultratumbas.

Eres… ese hacha que descansa sobre un trono desahuciado; “sano ya”, de esas venganzas que nos tenían atormentados; “curado ya”, de esas estancias donde el ser, - se hace frágil e inhumano !!

reblogging again bc i’m soft after reading fanfics

I’ve read lots of people write about how Yuuri is such a wonderful gay icon but what about Victor?! I MEAN

Come on

The guy has a pink ferrari for God’s sake 

AND HE IS RIDING IT WITH A CUTE GUY SITTING ON HIS LAP, ALL THE WHILE LOOKING CHILL AF 

He has been the pro of what he does since he was a teen 

he takes cute pictures with him and his beloved dog for the press

his whole country loves him

he is not only comfortable but happy to play both a female and male part

He can get away with those lines

this one speaks for itself

he has insecurities about his hair

AND HE IS SO GODDAMN DRAMATIC ABOUT IT

He is more beautiful than a disney princess

and he is a genuinely kind person 

AND

he gets to spend the rest of his life

with the cute boy he fell in love with 

and live happily ever after

really, Vitya is an inspiration to us all

Me entering tumblr dot com to further continue damaging my brain by reading the Spn news only to find out that Yuri on Ice has dropped a trailer

[slowroastedpotato]

honestlyyy it's very apparent the amount of racism that exists in the dismissal of yuri on ice as gay rep, because it's a GENUINELY groundbreaking show with a canon kiss, engagement, adult relationship talk, and it's NOT for kids, it's NOT watered down, the romance is very much a part of the plot from the very first episode and not something just tacked on. in terms of themes and emotional maturity and execution it's far closer to black sails and killing eve but it's grouped with she-ra and even. gags. voltron. if not incorrectly treated as queerbaiting as first place!

there's something seriously insidious about how wrongly yoi is represented, something that wouldn't happen if it were by a western studio (or if it weren't animated but that's for another day).

[slowroastedpotato]

[text ID: a tweet by @rhododaktulos that reads, ““my child is completely fine” your child’s favourite trope is found family”]

[slowroastedpotato]

I agree that tumblr is objectively the best social media right now but we CANNOT let this go to our heads. If we act like this site is anything more than trash our hubris will lead to tragedy

[slowroastedpotato]

Folks, friends, y’all…. esk*mo is a slur. I understand a lot of people don’t know that, I don’t want to be a dick about it, but I’ve been seeing it in fics. Wanna write “esk*mo kisses”? Just say “nuzzled noses” or something.

I’m not here to call anybody out, it’s been in multiple fics, I’m not vague posting. This is just a psa. 👍🏻

[slowroastedpotato]

no it's not me. my inability to control overwhelming happenings of life made me cut my hair today
