"why Do Fangirls Always Make Them Gay?"

With the Ansel Elgort situation going on, I just want to remind you all of this: DO NOT. IDOLIZE. CELEBRITIES. Yes, you can be fans of their work. You can admire how they give back and/or support good causes. There's nothing wrong with that. But to put them on a pedestal, see them as a "God", "Flawless", or "perfect" is truly stretching it. You never know how they behave behind the scenes, and most importantly, you don't even know them personally. So, when a certain celeb does something really screwed up that no one should ever condone (r*pe/s*xually assault, say slurs, etc.) what are you going to do then?

Celebs are not worthy of praise unless it's for their work. And they are not Gods. They are just regular people who are just more recognizable to the public.

So, if your fave has done problematic things, you need to rethink how you see them. If they've done inexcusable things like Ansel did, then you need to find someone different to be a fan of. If they made a mistake years ago and it just came back into light, don't go "so-and-so is over party". That's just childish. If they acknowledge their past mistakes and apologize for it, forgive them, but don't put them on a pedestal. Because like I said earlier, celebrities are human beings, and as humans, we're not perfect. You, the person reading this, aren't perfect either. So don't think big name stars are no different.

“Omg look at this fucking shit, gluten free mascara, ahaha, people need to be fucking stopped.”

Yes, I’m sure the person with a wheat allergy wanting to avoid putting wheat containing things near their eyeballs is truly the reason society is failing.

Tip:

When it comes to stuff like racism, sexism, homophobia, etc, I’ve found it’s usually way better to think to yourself ‘I don’t want to be’ than ‘I’m not’.

I.e. if someone goes ‘that thing you just did is ableist’, instead of going ‘I’m not ableist, I don’t hate disabled people!’ it’s usually a lot better to go ‘I don’t want to be ableist, I should rethink what I’m doing/saying/etc in light of that fact’. Because that shifts your thinking so rather than jumping straight into denial and attempts to defend your character, you’re instead more inclined to look at how your actions could be misrepresenting your intentions. Or whether you’ve overlooked something, been callous, or acted in ignorance.

Hey guys, I realized that the other post was long so Im making a small one! Im donating $5 of every new commission from now until December 25th! The money raised was going to go to @wheremyscalesslither​, but luckily she was able to raise enough money! 

So Id like to donate to someone (or something!) of your choice! Please help me spread this out there, so far I can donate $20 but the more this spreads the more commissions I could get and the more I can donate! You can get pieces for family members or yourself, and you can feel great about donating some money :)

sometimes your world just crumbles around you                  and you have to build something new from the pieces.

so, i'm just daydreaming about geralt and jaskier,

as per usual,

and i made myself sad thinking about geralt apologising for snapping on the mountain, kinda curling in on himself, feeling slightly ashamed but also wary? cause when has he ever been graced with forgiveness? how often do people allow him to explain his actions? how many humans take the time to listen and be patient as he tries to express how... difficult it is, processing emotions when all his life he's been told he has none. so he resigns himself to losing his friend completely, prepares for a dismissive tone and a cold rejection,

and then,

hearing jaskier sigh and tell him that it's okay, that sure he was sad and a little angry at first, but time has passed and his love has always been stronger than his hate, and sure they'll need to talk about it more when ciri isn't around because they both need to be more communicative, but for now, it's okay and he forgives him,

but, not only that, he's sorry too! he should have given geralt maybe some time, a little space - for he had just lost yennefer and maybe he shouldn't have made light of the situation in the same breath as geralt's heart being broken?

like,

can you imagine?

geralt's reaction??

like how many people have apologised to him in the past? how many people have forgiven him but then went on to offer their own sincere regret in regards to the actions they've taken against him??

like, visenna will never apologise to him for what she did. the elder witchers will never apologise for what they did. stregobor won't, other witchers and humans and mages won't, geralt has probably never had someone offer themselves up for his forgiveness! either because they think there's nothing for him to forgive, or that he should simply shoulder what they've done, or they think themselves above such quaint little customs.

and idk,

geralt being apologised to,

jaskier forgiving him,

all the feelings which blossom and flood geralt's veins, it makes him a little dizzy, a little winded, his throat closes up and his mouth falls open in a silent acceptance - ciri probably softly elbows him to jolt him out of his stupor,

but jaskier shakes his head because he understands. with a small smile, he cocks his head and says i understand,

which probably rocks geralt even more, because even now, after the years that have passed, the bard can still decipher him on levels not even vesemir can touch,

and invites them to drink with him.

a gentle offer of friendship reborn,

and one which geralt takes with eager appreciation.
