stop watching anything with gal gadot in it — that ESPECIALLY includes marvel. they’re not even good anyway lmao. military-sponsored propaganda.

“not watching something” is genuinely the bare minimum. it’s the simplest boycott that could be asked of you.

im noticing that for a lot of americans “free palestine” has been an ideological motto and symbol rather than them actually believing in their heart that freedom is attainable and necessary

lu. lu don't tempt me lu. lu i haven't drawn anything but baby bill in the past week. lu plea [slowly gravitating towards my sketchbook]

i'm soooo normal about vega and decapre × my sona rn. like omg. listen ik i yap about them on the regular in your disc dms allll the time but i can't NOT think about them. it's great. idk why andie gravitated to Braids and Blades but i think it's fantastic. she's going between their quarters like its shared custody. she and vega get into petty squabbles (bc its how they Flirt) and she's writing poetry for decapre she thinks she's never gonna find (she does.) my ship names for andie/vega and andie/decapre both come from hozier songs. if i could draw ship art i would. it's great. i'm going cuckoo for cocoa puffs rn. bazinga,

What's stopping you from drawing them? Do it :)

Tips for writing those gala scenes, from someone who goes to them occasionally:

Generally you unbutton and re-button a suit coat when you sit down and stand up.

You’re supposed to hold wine or champagne glasses by the stem to avoid warming up the liquid inside. A character out of their depth might hold the glass around the sides instead.

When rich/important people forget your name and they’re drunk, they usually just tell you that they don’t remember or completely skip over any opportunity to use your name so they don’t look silly.

A good way to indicate you don’t want to shake someone’s hand at an event is to hold a drink in your right hand (and if you’re a woman, a purse in the other so you definitely can’t shift the glass to another hand and then shake)

Americans who still kiss cheeks as a welcome generally don’t press lips to cheeks, it’s more of a touch of cheek to cheek or even a hover (these days, mostly to avoid smudging a woman’s makeup)

The distinctions between dress codes (black tie, cocktail, etc) are very intricate but obvious to those who know how to look. If you wear a short skirt to a black tie event for example, people would clock that instantly even if the dress itself was very formal. Same thing goes for certain articles of men’s clothing.

Open bars / cash bars at events usually carry limited options. They’re meant to serve lots of people very quickly, so nobody is getting a cosmo or a Manhattan etc.

Members of the press generally aren’t allowed to freely circulate at nicer galas/events without a very good reason. When they do, they need to identify themselves before talking with someone.

Thank you everyone for reading and sharing my pinned post. Hate mail went from 50+ per hour to 0! Back to writing prompts soon <3

[wannabe-eurydice]

Block the writing-prompt-s blog. I don't care if you like them I don't care if they're important to your ability to practice your creativity. They chased a genocide survivor off of tumblr with harassment and baseless accusations. This is a serious fucking problem and it's more important than 1 writing prompt blog.

I’m a glass half full kinda guy cause then I have more water that way

okay so i work in the deli of a grocery store, yeah? and today i got this guy who came up with his two twin children, around five years old. he walks up to the counter, carrying one kid in each arm, and loudly goes "oh, no, i forgot what i wanted!" and turns to the boy in his left arm and, in a perfect blues clues style voice, goes "caleb, do you remember what i wanted?" and the boy goes "half pound of yellow cheese!"

i, obviously, say "you've got it little sir!" and slice up half a pound of yellow american cheese, handing it to the little boy, who looks it over, nods, and tucks it in his lap.

then the man goes "well, we can't just have cheese on our sandwiches. but what else can we put on there?" and the little gurl in his other arm goes "half pound of ham!" so i nod and say "yes ma'am! what kind?" and she points at a random cut of turkey, so her father nods and says "like she said, honey ham!" i cut half a pound of honey ham, hand it to the little lady, she looks it over, nods and puts it in her lap.

then the man goes "now, what should we have for the side?" and the kids both simultaneously start cheering "macking cheese!!!" and the man spins on his heel and marches off, presumably to find the macking cheese.

later, the little boy comes wandering back to the counter while his father looks on and loudly and proudly proclaims that he wants to know where the mustard is. i point him to the correct aisle, he nods, says "thank you mister deli woman" and walks away.

a slice of gluten-free cheesecake! yum yum

He's so... 😳

A lot of my friends have backslid--understandably--into despairposting and doomreblogging about this, so I want to give you something a bit different: the UK does not like these rioting racist twats and is prepared to say so loudly and with force.

please don't reblog posts that are "EVERYTHING IS TERRIBLE" unless they contain some way for the people reading them to take action--whether it's gofundmes, or letter templates for MPs, petition links, etc. "LOOK AT THE BAD THING" is for the newspapers. we are not the newspapers, we are the people trying to fix the fucking mess they've made.
