queerlaurabarton:

Like you do not sign a legally binding document that puts severe restrictions on you and people like you without reading it fully and getting everything in detail because “oh if there’s something I don’t like I can change it later”?? You are signing as-is you are bound to what that document says right now and even if its possible to change it that doesn’t mean you will be able to and it means you are consenting to everything in it not just to good parts there are now. Like if Steve signs it that means he’s consenting to Wanda being put under house arrest (and if she breaks that something worse) something he doesn’t believe in because it reminds him of internment and he can’t be like “well I didn’t mean that part I only agreed to the parts I liked we have to change that” because no he agreed to it! He’s giving them the power to do that. Like as it turns out even Tony didn’t know everything in it because he had no idea that they would lock everyone up in the Raft aka Supervillian Alcatraz and even though he says he doesn’t agree with it he apparently can’t (or won’t) change it. That is why signing a document you have not fully understood or agree with is a Bad Idea. Steve wasn’t totally pure in his motivations but like signing it and “changing it later” if you don’t like it is such a terrible alternative.

Regardless of what side you fall on in the Civil War, I feel like “international law governing all of your actions for the rest of ever should be taken more seriously than the iTunes terms and conditions” should be something we can all agree on.

So I dunno how many people know this but if you go to burgerking and order anything at all off the menu, even just a drink, you get two little surveys on the back of the receipt

Each survey can get you a free whopper burger or a chicken sandwich with the purchase of any drink (even the $1 drink)

Just fill out the survey and get the code and write it on the back.

If you are short on money and really need a substantial meal, you can keep doing this cycle of getting receipts and free sandwiches for as long as you like

Idk I thought this might help people who are hard up for cash. This works in the US.

reblog 2 save a hungry tummy maybe?

Let me tell y'all what my co worker does when her friends go on a date: She takes a picture of the person’s drivers license. She doesn’t delete it until her friend(s) return safely.

Everyone needs to be doing this!

I remember my first time picking my girlfriend up to go on a date, and I met her mom that day. She asked to see my ID to take a picture of it “just incase”
I had/have good* intentions so I was cool and went along with it. 😏

Yes!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾If someone gives me a hard time about taking a picture of their license, that’s a red flag.

Girl, I take their number, license plate (w flash so there’s no debate on the car color at night) and a last seen wearing photo, smh. All my girls coming back safe or I’m on that ass.

If he doesn’t drive, send your friend the location or address of where you the date is taken place. If you change locations, screenshot where y'all at and send it to them. Stay safe.

There is an app called glympse that will broadcast your location to whomever you choose for I think I max of four hours. It’s a little gps program and as your phone moves a little beacon will move with it on a map

Adding that right now^

Safety is important. This is the first I’ve heard of the taking a pic of his license. I just realized how weird I’d probably act in this situation and apparently it’d be seen as a red flag.

ALL OF THIS👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 BOOST!

reblogs again cuz this advice is on point

I ain’t giving anyone my license.

It’s lowkey illegal to have someone else’s drivers license info

It’s lowkey illegal to take a woman out on a date and chop her up and leave her remains in trash bags and no one knows who you are.

^^^^^^^

Shoutout to those who aren’t writers or artists

cullenstairshenanigans:

That’s all those of you who don’t produce drawings or comics, fics or drabbles.

All of you who just reblog, only comment, don’t do anything but look and read.

This one’s for you.

Because you’re the likers, the sharers, the taggers, the ask-senders. The reviewers, the praise-givers, the supporters, the flailers. The response, the feedback, the reward for all that hard work. Sometimes the difference between giving up and continuing.

You’re the cornerstone, the heart and soul of this community. It wouldn’t exist without you. Please don’t ever ever think otherwise. Please don’t ever think you shouldn’t talk to the creators whose stuff you enjoy.

And please let me say this:

Thank you for being awesome.

I’m an author–of original stuff–and the only reason I’m considering trying to get my stuff published is because my roommate is, as she reminds me regularly, a fan in need of a fandom.  Having someone like your stuff, leave a comment, scream in the tags, anything, it’s such a godsend.

Lets play Deadpool vs Tony Stark

mirrormanning:

battlships:

imjustablipintime:

tiredoffandombullshit:

Deadpool: brings a teenager with superpowers to help him in a fight


Tumblr: DEADPOOL!!. I love the interactions between negasonic teenage warhead and deadpool. Omg so cute. *billions of fanart*

Tony Stark: Literally does the same thing when his friends abandon him. Sends him home as soon as he sees a probability that he’d get hurt.

Tumblr: tony stark is a villian ™. I can’t believe he used peter as a child soldier :) :)

negasonic teenage warhead literally had training??????

she lives in a house that gets blown up every year by super villains???? she has been exposed to fighting and knows how to fight and is trained to fight???????? she is trained to defend herself in a way that is NOT winging it???? she attends Xavier’s School for Talented Youngsters????? where she learns about herself and how her abilities work and how to use them?

peter parker is literally a high school kid winging shit and is underhandedly BLACKMAILED into joining whereas in Deadpool, Wade literally just shows up and says “hey i need to go get the bad guy you let go” which yes is a bit of a guilt trip but literally that was the extent of his pressure. 

What Tony does is throw a bunch of money at a kid who has NOTHING. N O T H I N G. This kid is dumpster diving for his electronics. Of course Peter’s going to feel indebted. Of course he’s going to feel OBLIGATED to join Stark. And Stark is a famous person. He is a famous person and Peter Parker is star-struck. Wade? Wade is an asshole. There’s no obligation in Wade telling Negasonic to suit up, she could have easily slammed the door in his face. There is an obligation in Tony’s demand. There is an abuse of power here.

Also, there is no question that Ajax is a bad guy. Ajax is just all around a horrible, evil man. The situation of Civil War is complex and Tony gave Peter NO CONTEXT for what was going on, did not explain Steve’s situation, just said “Steve Rogers thinks he’s right and that makes him dangerous”. If you are going to be dragging a kid into a war, you need to give him a CHOICE. you need to give him CONTEXT. You need to let him have all the variables before he can decide to risk his life for Tony Stark’s agenda.

And also??? Tony literally threatened to tell Aunt May about his Spider-Man activities if he didn’t suit up with them and go to Berlin? Peter’s first reaction to being told he’s going to Berlin - not asked, told - is to say completely seriously that he has homework. YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE WHERE THIS KID’S PRIORITIES AND WORLD VIEW ARE AT. HE IS FIFTEEN.

Negasonic Teenage Warhead? She is literally an X-Man who is trained in managing and using her abilities, and yes she is an amateur, but she was making free will/unbiased decisions the entire time. 

so to wrap up, FUCK THIS COMPARISON. TONY STARK BEHAVED OUT OF LINE. HE PRETTY MUCH FANCILY, WHITE-COLLAR PRESS-GANGED A FIFTEEN YEAR OLD KID INTO A WAR THAT COULD HAVE GOTTEN HIM KILLED. AND SURE HE SENT HIM HOME WHEN HE WAS DONE, BUT THAT IS TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE. 

fuck this.

Potential X-Men have to train EXTENSIVELY before they’re allowed in the field. There’s a battle simulator in the mansion. They have a support system, access to free medical and psychological care, are allowed to take time off if they need it.

Peter Parker had none of that.

ALSO Negasonic was accompanied by Colossus, aka adult supervision who okay’d her going into the field, who has knowledge of her skills and power set, and was able to make a judgement call on whether or not the situation would be too dangerous. 

ALSO ALSO if WADE WILSON is a point of moral comparison for your character then you’ve already lost. If you can compare Tony Stark and Deadpool in a discussion about who was more wrong and it’s even a question, then the answer doesn’t really matter.

Everyone says stormtroopers can’t shoot.

Poe’s heard it for years. It’s a joke he hears in the barracks, in the war rooms; it’s the first joke they tell the new recruits: Don’t worry, buddy, stormtroopers can’t shoot.  Stormtroopers couldn’t hit the Death Star if they were in its orbit. Stormtroopers couldn’t hit a rancour in a closet.  We’ll come back safe and sound, his friends say as a farewell, we’ll be fine: You know that stormtroopers can’t shoot.

Stormtroopers can’t shoot, they say, but Poe knows it’s not true, because he’s standing here with Finn’s hand on his arm and Finn is looking at him with such goodness in his eyes and saying he’s here to rescue him, Poe Dameron, and Poe knows in that instant that everything everyone’s ever said about stormtroopers is wrong, all wrong, because here is Finn, wearing his goodness shining all over him like shining armour, and it hits Poe right in the heart.

They say stormtroopers can’t shoot, but here is Finn in the copilot’s seat of their TIE, his back pressed against Poe’s, and they are working in tandem like they’ve done this for years, like they’ve trained together and fought together and sweated together, felt each other’s fear and tasted glory together, like they have been fighting on the same side all along. Here is Finn, aiming to kill, taking a shot at the institution that told him he was nothing but a number and a pair of arms meant for holding guns.  He’s a good shot, someone you’d want by your side in a furball.  Someone you’d want by your side, through thick and thin.

They say stormtroopers can’t shoot, but here is Finn, fighting for what he believes in, rushing to save the ones he loves, and when he sees Finn, ready to race after his friend no matter where it will take him, it is then that Poe knows he wants it for himself: Finn’s devotion, his loyalty, his love.  This is it.  This is all he wants.  He wants Finn fighting for him.   

Here is Finn, doing what he believes to be right, and Poe’s always had a type, anyone could tell you; he has fallen in love with stories of knights and warriors, the ones who fight for justice and peace, and here is Poe, still reeling from Finn’s dark eyes and careful hands, and he never had a chance, he’s a standing target, and Finn’s aim is true.

Here is Finn, smiling right at him, and It hits Poe right in the heart.

It’s instant, it’s fatal, and they say stormtroopers can’t shoot.

I work to this quite a bit and I find it helps my productivity?

Wherever a fatal car crash or pedestrian death occurs, a red square with the year of the accident should be permanently included in the pavement. Seeing a lot of red squares in a given location would make drivers and pedestrians more careful.

blackenedmoss:

So apparently I need to repeat this.

Please do not use the term “spirit animal”. The flippant use with which it’s been thrown around is a mockery and degradation of the sacredness that connection is suppose to represent, and has a lot of cultural significance to those of us who have it within our cultures.

Please do not use spirit animal. Please do not use spirit animal. I feel like the importance and sacredness of that aspect of my life has been made into a giant f’ing joke by people and that feels really shitty. It was one of my ways in which I could connect with my heritage, and like everything else it seems like people are so willing to just mock it by taking it and using it however they want. You want to mean “no disrespect”? Then stop using it and call other people out on it, because the use of it by non-indigenous people who don’t belong to those cultures is disrespectful. Full stop.

5 Things I Like About Myself

All right, so I was tagged by @littlestartopaz, so let’s do the thing!

  1. That one time, I wrote a 350 page novel by accident and, you know what, I have self-esteem issues, but fuck me, it’s a pretty decent novel.
  2. I have a good sense of pitch and a fairly nice low alto voice, so I can sing pretty well even though I can’t read sheet music for crap.
  3. I can do complicated organic chemistry in my head, and my teacher is keeping the dream of making me his protege alive.
  4. I had someone get ahold of me today and thank me for my medical equality tirades and it was a nice reminder that, hey, fuck, my “fight me” mentality is gonna help me save lives someday, hell yeah.
  5. LATINE SCIO, BITCHES.
    (Y’know what, it’s been my first really good day in a while, so I’m gonna do ten.)  
  6. I have broad shoulders, the kind of shoulders that are good for throwing a punch and lifting an injured person and making myself look menacing.
  7. Related to #6, I do ‘menacing’ pretty well for a 5′ girl, if I do say so myself, and I can always carry through on my threat.
  8. I am really good at making sure stories and universes are logical and internally consistent.
  9. I don’t do ‘gentle’ very well, but I’m very good at ‘steady,’ which in my experience is almost as good.
  10. I started college at 16, I’m gonna have a BA by 20, and honestly that’s impressive as shit.

I’m gonna tag my beloved @twistedangelsays, as well as @adelaide-jpg because I know she’s had a rough day, and @cthulhu-with-a-fez because…she’s awesome.

Favorite writing trope

exeunt-pursued-by-a-bear:

charlesoberonn:

Adding “as you do” after describing something that nobody does.

“So he went to hell to pick up his dead wife’s soul, as you do.”

“So she climbed up the tower with her robot hands, as you do.”

one time in an actual conversation I said something along the lines of “I made a flamethrower with a lighter and a can of compressed air, as you do” and the guy I was talking to was like “…no? I don’t???”

Oh God, I say this all the time, and when I started my junior year of college I was talking to someone in my Organic Chemistry class and I said “So I switched my major to pre-med at the end of my sophomore year and I’m gonna do it in two years rather than four, as you do,” and his jaw just dropped and he went “I absolutely do NOT.”

#organic chemistry #adventures in college #that particular kid understood that a lot better after knowing me for a year
“The first time he calls you holy,
you laugh it back so hard your sides hurt.
The second time,
you moan gospel around his fingers
between your teeth.
He has always surprised
you into surprising yourself.
Because he’s an angel hiding his halo
behind his back and
nothing has ever felt so filthy
as plucking the wings from his shoulders—
undressing his softness
one feather at a time.
God, if you’re out there,
if you’re listening,
he fucks like a seraphim,
and there’s no part of scripture
that ever prepared you for his hands.
Hands that map a communion
in the cradle of your hips.
Hands that kiss hymns up your sides.
He confesses how long he’s looked
for a place to worship and,oh,
you put him on his knees.
When he sinks to the floor and moans
like he can’t help himself,
you wonder if the other angels
fell so sweet.
He says his prayers between your thighs
and you dig your heels into the base of his spine
until he blushes the color of your filthy tongue.
You will ruin him and he will thank you;
he will say please.
No damnation ever looked as cozy as this,
but you fit over his hips like they
were made for you.You fit, you fit, you fit.
On top of him, you are an ancient god
that only he remembers and he
offers up his skin.
And you take it.
Who knew sacrifice was so profane?
And once you’ve taught him how to hold
your throat in one hand
and your heart in the other,
you will have forgotten every other word,
except his name.”

Has anyone written Mad Max: Fury Road in the form of an epic poem of some kind?

… give me a few weeks

Speak, Teller, of the mad wanderer, the wastes-man, the driver, Rockatansky;
Thirst-mad, solitude-mad, angry at the sky and the dust and the world mad;
Humungus defeated, Thunderdome fled and burnt, Sky-Tribe flown to Sydney
Savior and unsaved, alone and now hunted, fleeing toward nothing!

In the hands of Joe Immortan his madness does not free him
Hung for blood and bleeding, wanderer-trophy, fury futile-fading
Who is madder than the wanderer? Whose fury surpasses the madman’s?
Furiosa Iron-Handed! Furiosa Woman-Thieving!

With cunning the war-rig taken with stealth the five wives stolen;
Waste-crossing bravely fleeing to the wet-place nigh-forgotten;
War-boys all shouting, pursuing and flaming Doof loudly playing;
Blood-bag Max still hanging, car by thieves still driven chains still unbroken.



… showoff 

*grumbles*

(do some more :D)

Into the storm drove Furiosa flaying sand would not deter her;
A single war-boy flush with Max-blood for his master chased the bride-thief;
Nux his name and short his half-life, Immortan’s glance his heart’s desire;
Max-car Nux-car chased the War-Rig half-life hands could not control it.

Free’d the wanderer barely man now bound in muzzle tongue unspeaking;
Found the Iron-Hand working iron saw the water in the wasteland;
Gazed on Cheedo Dag and Toast then, Angharad Capable also;
Stole from Wife-Thief then the War Rig did the Wanderer in his madness!

Fury and cunning both together were the marks of Furiosa;
Barely stone’s-throw did he drive it; hopeless when the War-rig stopped;
In her mercy brave Furiosa made a compact with the Madman;
All for freedom: them, the clean girls, leave the war-boy let him die.

Don’t talk shit about people’s teeth. Seriously.

Speaking as a major dental hygiene enthusiast…

Great-looking teeth come from two things: luck and money (which is also a function of luck).

  • Dental procedures tend to be very, very expensive, and are almost never covered by insurance.
  • Healthy teeth aren’t necessarily big, straight or bright white. Depending on what someone’s natural teeth are like, achieving that look may require a significant downgrade in their dental health; unnecessary crowns and veneers cause damage.
  • Do not underestimate genetics’ role in determining teeth’s appearance, or how prone teeth are to problems. Genes and early development, i.e. things people get zero control over, can outweigh all else.
  • A wide range of chronic conditions impact oral health and teeth’s appearance, too, and may contraindicate various types of work or raise procedures’ cost even more.
  • Finally, for many people and many reasons, celebrity-looking teeth just aren’t a priority (even when they’re attainable; some people might want, y’know, a new car instead).

Regardless, don’t be an asshole. Not even very attractive teeth look good on those.

Yup. ^^^^^^

There should be affordable universities for people who just want to continue learning throughout life. Not to get a degree, or a better job; just a place to learn, foster ideas and meet others who are doing the same.

If you ever date an asexual person be sure to get the specifics of their asexuality because the level of comfort with physical contact is different for all of us.

YES 
THIS IS SERIOUSLY IMPORTANT 

Also—this needs to be an ongoing conversation. Sometimes things are ok for us and sometimes they’re not. Permission once is not permission forever.

#yes #honestly this would be a good rule for any significant other #just because your so wanted to cuddle yesterday doesn't mean they don't need some space today

mjwatson:

If you claim to be a feminist and you shame girls for wanting to do traditional things like take their husband’s last name or be a house wife then you are doing it all completely wrong.

Feminism isn’t an elite group who defeats gender norms, it’s a group who accepts ALL women’s choices.
