*exchanging Wedding Vows*

Concept: an apocalyptic or post apocalyptic tv show centred on a group of disabled protagonists

Must include:

-enough details about how they survive that no one can call it “unrealistic”

-mental and physical disabilities 

-a character who isn’t necessarily contributing to the survival of the group, but is not abandoned or looked down upon

-at least one character whose disability is actually less of a problem for them now that the world is ending/ended (example: autistic character who used to be constantly overstimulated but no longer is)

Optional features:

-abled person says “the only disability in life is a bad attitude” and gets told where to stuff it

-creatively weaponized mobility aids/assistive devices

-character who abled people think isn’t worth helping because of their disability, but actually has at least one skill essential to the survival of the group

-every time an abled person says something ignorant, all present disabled people look into the camera like they’re on the office 

Whumpy Book Rec

Infinity Son by Adam Silvera. It’s got some good whump and it also has LGBTQ characters and superpowers. It’s got a good enough plot to keep up the pace and I found it an entertaining read! 

I believe in free education, one that’s available to everyone; no matter their race, gender, age, wealth, etc… This masterpost was created for every knowledge hungry individual out there. I hope it will serve you well. Enjoy!

*There are a lot more learning websites out there, but I picked the ones that are, as far as I’m aware, completely free and in my opinion the best/ most useful.

today my anthro professor said something kindof really beautiful:

“you all have a little bit of ‘I want to save the world’ in you, that’s why you’re here, in college. I want you to know that it’s okay if you only save one person, and it’s okay if that person is you”

peter parker was created by stan lee and steve ditko to send ONE message and it was about how no matter circumstance anyone can become great. spider-man is supposed to be a story about a poor jewish boy that slowly becomes a better person and learns the value of responsibility. with great power yadda yadda.

the mcu stripped spider-man of everything that made him unique and special (lower class, abrasive personality, ruthlessly bullied in school, self-made) and turned him into a easily digestible middle class tony stark apprentice that 1) didn’t even make that suit himself 2) relied on tony for everything. they LITERALLY took a character that has been canonically poor for DECADES and wiped out all of the story that comes with that just so that rich-ass tony stark could be his ‘mentor’. peter parker never had a mentor. that’s the entire point

mcu peter parker is very obviously a ripoff of miles morales’ story (superhero mentor, ned is LITERALLY miles’ friend ganke, etc) and it pisses me off because not only did they whitewash miles morales, they erased every part of peter’s story that made him significant since nineteen sixty fucking two . good fucking evening

O!Ciel when he finally finds the person responsible for the manor fire

You know what?? Fuck it. I'm evil. But like not E-vel. Just evil. Like it's supposed to be pronounced.

types of people as environments

sea: wild hair, iced coffee, probably listens to billie eilish, great instagram, wears bracelets/anklets, was that kid that thought they had some authority on greek mythology bc they read the percy jackson books, seems like they have their life together but actually are lowkey falling apart, can vibe w/ anyone

forest: hot coffee, guitar/indie/folk music, runs an aesthetic blog, doesn’t tell anyone what their favorite songs are bc that’s Too Personal, absolutely has to put fairy lights everywhere, loves their friends and makes sure they know it, if you hurt them they won’t do anything back they’ll just leave without a word or a trace

desert: long road trips, retro diners at 2am, also eats a lot of fast food, nothing fazes them, drunk declarations of love, their hair is their personality, thrives during nighttime, bored eater, acts chill and will say they’re Fine as they lay face down on the floor but also will tell their life story after 10pm

mountains: hot chocolate, gorgeous hair, adrenaline junkie, has a lot of secrets/emotional depth, morning person, will go insane if they’re cooped up indoors for too long, complete 180 from the person their 12-year-old self thought they would be but thank god for that

meadow: softie, henna tattoos, puts flowers in their hair, sparkling water, pastels, likes taylor swift, barely knows how to drive, good at drawing/painting, doesn’t hide their feelings, ppl think their openness can be taken advantage of but they see your motives and Know What You’re Trying To Do

tundra: flawless eyebrows, wears lots of dark colors, thick skin, intense as hell but it’s cool, eyes that stare into your fricken soul, seems emotionally unavailable but actually secretly loves a lot of people and is scared of losing them but will never show it

lake: iced tea, lives at chipotle, hands and feet are always cold, completely screwed up spotify algorithm, hates days when they can’t see the sun, loves spring/summer, really just wants to Calm Down, niche humor, has been saying they’re dead inside since 2014

You know what I'm just gonna say it.... pads are better than tampons, everybody needs to stop lying
