This Is So True. Animals Are Our Companions, Not Our Property. :(

Be kind to every kind!

Animals are fun, sentient, feeling beings with unique personalities. Don’t discriminate between them; all animals are worthy of a happy life and well-being. If you love animals, you should love ALL animals.

I love Wild Roses so much that I automatically think of Tobirama and Kagami whenever I see something like this type of trope.

I love characters that have never been loved before experiencing it for the first time. They’re taken aback by softness. They’re confused by warm words and being cared for. They’re almost scared by the loving way they’re looked at. Fleeting tender touches send them reeling. Their heart almost feel like it’s going to burst. What does it mean? All they know is they don’t feel as though they deserve that, even if they reciprocate. It’s been proven time again that they’re unlovable and yet…

Being treated so gently feels so good and they aren’t sure they want it to stop.

Recycled old picture frame glass by painting cute characters created by Aki Kondo. Rikki is impressed. ^.^

Damn. Tobirama looks so hot. I almost had a heart attack when I saw this. Like HOT DAYUM.

thinking about madara and how kishi and the burrito writers stripped all the mythological intrigue of the narutoverse for what? to justify a war machine? to promote jingoism? to pretend like madara did what he did cuz of the moon lady and not because he was a soldier for most of his life and didn’t think hashirama’s brand of fascism was the answer to peace? madara was so damn scary half the time BECAUSE he knew how dirty the shinobi nations really were, caught them slipping, and realized the only solution to war and fascism and child soldiers and murder and human trafficking and slavery was an eternity spent under an illusion cuz he had NO other answer for all the horrors in the world, a lot of it pushed by konoha to maintain its power, so he went straight to option #8991 and tried to implement a universal illusion cuz nobody socialized his ass after the wars, NOBODY PUT HIS ASS IN THERAPY AND HELPED HIM HEAL, CUZ NOBODY TRIED TEACHING HIM SOMETHING BEYOND WAR AND POLITICS SO HE CONTINUED THE VICIOUS CYCLE AND MANIPULATED PEOPLE LIKE OBITO, CUZ NOBODY WANNA TAKE RESPONSIBILITY THAT THERE WERE PROBABLY TEN THOUSAND MADARAS IN EVERY NATION CREATED BY THE WAR ECONOMY, BUT NONE SMART OR POWERFUL ENOUGH TO GET WHERE MADARA DID BUT IF THEY HAD A CHANCE THEY WOULD’VE, AKA NAGATO WAS RIGHT FROM THE START

Welcome to Australia...

Where an already endangered species is on the brink of functional extinction...

Oh, and 500 million animals unique to this country have already lost their lives, upon homes that have been destoryed and lives lost of people as well...

I mean... we're only living in a literal inferno...

415 fires. Fuck are we dying...

Oh yeah and people are just fleeing to the damn ocean, you know?

Do you want to know what Hell on Earth looks like..?

Because there it is in all it's unfiltered, firey rage...

There it is... my home from space...

This is only the beginning. Our country has not only entered a new decade, it seems a new dawning era as well, because this flaming apocalypse doesn't show any sign of stopping any time soon.

And you know what saddens me? I've never seen Australian tragedies trending here on this website. I mean it's been going on for months and only now does it seem to really be getting recognized, even if it is only at #9.

And I'm going to be honest with you here - the internet, and media in general is so American centric, this website being no exception. You'd think that an entire continent being on fire for several months with devastating consequences would have more recognition, but no, it really doesn't. The most notes I've ever seen on a post about the Australian fires is at least a few thousand, and that's about it.

So just... please. If you can, with this post or any other post in regards to the fires going on down here, reblog. Because the only thing that should be spreading like wildfire, is a post about a burning country...

I absolutely love AOC. She is a godsend. <3

“People’s lives are not commodities…. You cannot ask the question ‘How much will you pay to live?’ Because the answer is everything. The answer is you will pay $10. You will pay $1000. You will go into debt. You will do anything to live.” - Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

“But Artemis Fowl problematic”

Yes, and that was the fucking point. Especially in book one, he was the villain. He did bad things for mostly bad reasons. He was  well written and sometimes sympathetic, he had his doubts about what he was doing, but he was undeniably 100% the villain of book one.

And if you take that away, and start out with him as a mostly good person, not only do you make him much less interesting, you remove Artemis’s growth and redemption. Some of the deeply emotional and meaningful moments of the later books wouldn’t mean anything at all if Artemis doesn’t start off as a terrible person with tiny glimmers of hope.

At the end of book two, arguably one of the most significant moments is Holly doing this.  “Captain Short plucked a gold coin from her belt, flicking it fifty feet into the moonlit sky. With one fluid movement, she brought her weapon up and loosed a single blast… …Holly held out her hand, revealing the still raw scar on her finger. “If it wasn’t for you, I would have missed altogether…..“You keep it, to remind you.”

“To remind me?”

Holly stared at him frankly. “To remind you that deep beneath the layers of deviousness, you have a spark of decency. Perhaps you could blow on that spark occasionally.”

Artemis closed his fingers around the coin. It was warm against his palm.

“Yes, perhaps.””

That scene would mean absolutely nothing, might not even be includable, is Artemis were not a problematic brat. Another meaningful scene, Artemis begging to save Butler’s life, not for gain but because he loves Butler like a second father, would mean jack all if Artemis were emotionally open and less selfish.

The fear, at the end of the eternity code, that losing his memories will erase the emotional growth he has made, what happens to that? Or the gut wrenching realization in the epilogue and start of book four that yes, almost all of his progress did get erased along with his memories. And though we get much of his progress back by the end of book four, there is still the strong sense that we still aren’t where we were pre-memory wipe.

I could continue like this for all the books, pointing out how Artemis’s growth from terrible villain, to major brat, to a reasonably good person is one of the huge, important, overreaching plot arcs through the whole series. It’s part of why I absolutely love the books. 

I can not see any version of the movies without this plot line, this slow growth and backtracking and eventually redemption as complete or even the same story. So yeah, book one Artemis is an utter brat of a villain. But you can’t erase that. Because that’s the entire fucking point of the series as a whole.

This made me feel a lot better. :) There’s nothing wrong with being a Hufflepuff. The world needs more Hufflepuffs, and it really shows when people call us losers and unwanted. There needs to be more kindness in the world.

Hufflepuffs ARE:

hardworking

loyal

dedicated

kind

patient

honest

great finders

Hufflepuffs are NOT:

useless

talentless 

unwanted

spineless

pathetic

losers

don’t be ashamed; no matter what anyone thinks, you guys are awesome

I absolutely love her character! I could see myself in her, and I don’t just mean the part about being in love with Ahsoka! ^U^
