"A lot of people didn't trust me wanting to be an actor [...] so I learned not to comment on it too much and keep it to myself and then show them that my actions spoke for themselves. It's like my work, I want it to speak for itself.” (c)

Ewan Mitchell:

He has worked hard to get where he is. He truly deserves all the praise and rewards for his work. His passion, dedication, hard work, perseverance, kindness, curiosity and self-belief inspire me greatly.

I'm so excited for season 2! ❤️‍🔥🐉

Once you get this, you have to say five things you like about yourself, publicly. Then please send this to five of your favourite followers 🌈

Gosh, that's a hard one! (that's what he said on our wedding night! HA! 😈) Like most of us, I'm better at self-criticism than self-liking, but since you asked -

My tattoos. I've got more than 40 hours' worth of full-color Japanese and American Nautical style tattooing on my arms, legs, and back. I've been blessed with the blindingly bright white skin of my Swedish ancestors, which makes me a "get" for color-blast tattoo artists who love the canvas I provide for their most colorful and detailed work. Here's a sample of what Steven Huie of Flyrite Tattoo in Brooklyn and Gauge Strongarm of San Francisco have blessed me with over the years:

2. My affinity for coming up with the worst, most God-awful puns and riddles that humanity has yet seen! I delight in ambushing my family and friends with my "Animal Classics" that I've kept in the repertory for 30 years - and they're just as funny today as they were when I first laid them, fresh and steaming! Here's one of my recent bon mots:

-What does unadulterated cow juice have in common with an anal orgasm?

-WHole milk.

... are you still there?

-What do you call the dominant in a pack of forage farmers?

-Alfalfa male.

(I'm a huge hit on Reddit!)

3. For 45 years I've been blowing air through a metal stick with holes in it and wiggling my fingers around on it, and sometimes when I do it kids smile and laugh, and grownups get tears in their eyes.

4. Like the dog I pretend to be, I'm faithful, loyal, and fiercely protective of those I love and care for. Whether the mutt formed the man or the man shaped the mutt, it's made me a better and more loving creature on two legs and four.

5. My exquisite taste and good judgment in marrying the most amazing and wonderful man on Earth, and my great good fortune that he's put up with me for 15 years 🧡

I hope that answers your ask! Since each and every one of my followers is my favorite, I can't choose just five - it's not a copout, it's true! - so I will ask anyone and everyone who sees this to do likewise: list five things you really honestly unabashedly like about yourself and be sure to tag me when you do!

Woofs & wags! -A.

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

[rivetgoth]

It's honestly crazy that discussion around testosterone HRT skews so much towards the beginning stages of it (to the point that you have dozens of guys thinking their transition is "failed" if they don't pass by like a year in lol) and what the initial changes of the first couple of months to years look like, like the classic laundry list of those early basic changes like bottom growth, voice drop, etc, when IMO literally none of that compares remotely to the depth and intensity of the long term total masculinization you start to experience like 3-5+ years in.

[image id: a four-page comic. it is titled "immortality” after the poem by clare harner (more popularly known as “do not stand at my grave and weep”). the first page shows paleontologists digging up fossils at a dig. it reads, “do not stand at my grave and weep. i am not there. i do not sleep.” page two features several prehistoric creatures living in the wild. not featured but notable, each have modern descendants: horses, cetaceans, horsetail plants, and crocodilians. it reads, “i am a thousand winds that blow. i am the diamond glints on snow. i am the sunlight on ripened grain. i am the gentle autumn rain.” the third page shows archaeopteryx in the treetops and the skies, then a modern museum-goer reading the placard on a fossil display. it reads, “when you awaken in the morning’s hush, i am the swift uplifting rush, of quiet birds in circled flight. i am the soft stars that shine at night. do not stand at my grave and cry.” the fourth page shows a chicken in a field. it reads, “i am not there. i did not die” / end id]

a comic i made in about 15 hours for my school’s comic anthology. the theme was “evolution”

listen I know it's heartbreaking that Claudia dies and it's understandable to wish she didn't, but let's please not accuse the writers of fridging her. to do so is a fundamental misunderstanding of the story and is frankly insulting to the intelligence and skill of the writers of the show.

Claudia's death, and the overwhelming grief and regret her parents experience because of it, is quite literally the point of the entire story. she dies because Anne's daughter Michele died of leukemia when she was five years old and there was nothing she or her husband could do to prevent it.

writing IWTV was how Anne coped with the unimaginable loss of a parent losing her child. she created a story about a little girl that could not die and then killed her anyway. Claudia's death is a senseless, unavoidable tragedy, just like Michele's was. the grief that haunts Louis and Lestat for the rest of their lives is the same grief that haunted Anne and her husband.

so when you're accusing people of killing Claudia off to benefit a story about two men, please remember that in real life sometimes parents lose their children. please remember Michele Rice.

she's the reason Claudia exists.

she's also the reason Claudia cannot be saved.

I think so many people are so deeply alienated from themselves that they have no clue how to exercise their free will and autonomy. For some, this alienation runs so deep that they are afraid of their own autonomy and humanity. It is completely understandable why one would have those feelings, but it can be worrisome.

I want to help others who feel this way, so here are small things I have done to exercise my free will:

Add "guilty pleasure" songs to playlists and actually listen to them (I have a ton of late 1990s-early 2000s music I listen to now proudly that I never listened to in the past out of shame)

Getting the décor item, bath set, bed spread, ect. in the patterns you like, even if it's "childish" (I got a dinosaur-themed wastebasket from the kids' décor section and I adore it)

Taking a new route to get to a place you go to often

Eat dessert first

Celebrate well, and often

Collect things that are "odd" or don't seem like an "acceptable" thing to collect (somebody on my "for you" page collects dandelion crayola crayons and it was so cool!!!!!!)

Incorporate one new piece in an outfit you wear frequently (e.g., a new chain, a necklace, ribbons, bracelets, ect.). Challenge yourself to add onto the outfits if you feel up for it.

Sing along to songs without worrying that you sound "good" or your intonation is completely accurate

Read a book from a genre you weren't allowed to read as a kid (comics, thrillers, mysteries, anything!)

Walk without having a specific destination or goal

Pick up a new craft without expecting yourself to master it or to ever be "good" enough. Get your hands messy.

I don't want to shame anybody for not feeling as though they have free will or that they are exempt from exercising it. However, I wanted to give ideas so that you might read this list and find your own ways to express your intrinsic autonomy and will. You deserve to be a person, to feel alive, not just living. That is what our lives are for.

Tumblr, listen to me: Just stop. Stop trying to innovate. Just more random minigames. That's all we need. Fan art and blogs and snark and stupid boop games. Warioware but for the chronically online. That's all this hot mess of spaghetti code that we call home needs to be.

I have some questions about karaoke night, Alex Hirsch. Very Important Questions. Which I will happily scream at a poor hapless baby triangle who can have no answers for me, and possibly also does not have object permanence yet.

Follow-up that is I guess suggestive, but let's be real here, Bill's a fucking triangle:

Dude slipped right into his birthday suit, lmao

this is so stupid :D

Anyway, I don't care what anyone says, this brilliant individual knows what's up - Bill is absolutely way more of a monsterfucker than Ford could or ever will be, full stop.
