I don’t think writers realize that “strong female character” means “well written female character” and not just “female character who punches stuff and shoots stuff”
#I don’t think half the people on tumblr know the difference either
Agent Carter, one of the best female characters ever created. Strong, tough, and thinks as well as being a bad-ass.
2015 trend: answering the question “are you a feminist?” with the question “are you not?” in order to make not being a feminist sound more like the ridiculous, illogical thing that it is.
I’ve never reblogged anything faster.
Awww, you tried so hard, but unfortunately I can’t hear you over the sound of my debt-free college degree and massive disposable income.

I hear my mom shrieking downstairs, shouting up to me about “THE CATS! THE CATS!”
I run downstairs, thinking someone has died or something and see THIS:
I FEEL LIKE I NEED TO PUNCH SOMETHING TO GET OVER THE ADORABLENESS
They look like they’re about to break out in a musical number
hence:
This post got better since I re-blogged it earlier.
“bisexuals are half straight”
“bisexuals are inherently transphobic”
“when a bisexual dates the opposite sex, they’re just hetero”
“bisexuals have no place in lgbt+ safe spaces”
“i’d never touch a bi/pan person because they’ve been with the opposite sex”
“there is no such thing as bi/panphobia :)!”
“bi/pan people aren’t as important as lesbians and gays”
These gifs are terrifying
so are the statements they’re reacting to
Ron glanced at Hermione, then said, “What if pure bloods and half-bloods swear a Muggle-born’s part of their family? I’ll tell everyone Hermione’s my cousin–”
Hermione covered Ron’s hand with hers and squeezed it. “Thank you, Ron, but I couldn’t let you–”
“You won’t have a choice,” said Ron fiercely, gripping her hand back. “I’ll teach you my family tree so you can answer questions on it.”
Hermione gave a shaky laugh.

FUCKING
WILHELMINA BERTHA PACKARD
did i mention
BADASS AF FEMALE CHARACTERS
AND MULTIPLE POC CHARACTERS
WHO BREAK STEREOTYPES LEFT AND RIGHT
i just have a lot of feelings about atlantis and i think it needs more love than it gets
I love this fucking movie, and from what I gathered from the commentary (which is amazing and worth a listen) a lot of it has to do with it being a Disney movie with no musical numbers and a piss poor marketing campaign.
Hades was the least evil entity in the entire Greek pantheon. Just look at the punishments.
Pushing a rock uphill forever, Have venom slowly dripping on your face for eternity, have a bird eat you liver alive every day, that’s all Zeus.
Hades’ punishments were like ‘solve this million piece puzzle or whatever’
‘be married to me for half the year’
he probably wasn’t the least evil and why do you all have such a hard-on for hades
because the dark and spoopy fingers of emo are still wound tight around some people’s brains
leaving aside the question of why people are allowed to like characters from mythology that leah doesn’t like, almost as if they’re autonomous human beings, hephaestus is clearly the least evil but i’m willing to bet hades raped significantly fewer people than zeus
^^Actually a very legitimate point.
The world is weird when it comes to art because everyone expects there to always be music to listen to and movies to watch and video games to play and cartoons to plop their kids in front of and watercolor paintings on dentists’ walls and gaudy desktop wallpapers but? ? No one wants to? ? Pay? ? Artists? ? ? ? ?
YOU PREACHIN NOW
i need feminism because when jesus does a magic trick it’s a goddamn miracle but when a woman does a magic trick she gets burned at the stake
fabulous
i mean they did also kill jesus. that was a pretty significant thing that happened. like i understand where you’re coming from here but they very much did kill jesus.
just a friendly reminder that undocumented immigrants are allowed to donate organs but arent allowed to recieve transplants
they don’t pay taxes??? they’re not citizens??? why is this a negative post??? pay taxes and be a productive member of society and then you will have the operations and health benefits every other tax payer/citizen has???? like what???? I hate this website!!!!!
Oh, and we are productive members of society.
We only pick the food that you and every American fucking eats.
why are white people always such trash
Beyond the fact that the whole premise is dead ass wrong, your argument is literally “Not paying taxes means you should die of treatable diseases and taxpayers should be allowed to harvest your organs.”
like.
note to everyone refraining from reading the song of achilles because they think that the relationship between patroclus and achilles is just implied: IT’S NOT, IT’S EXPLICITLY GAY, REAL ACTUAL QUEER REPRESENTATION, THEY ARE WRITTEN AS ROMANTICALLY AND SEXUALLY INVOLVED, I PROMISE
What if you went to a parallel universe and were going to meet your evil self but the version of you there is actually really nice and you’re the asshole
#i dont need to go to an alternate universe to know that im the asshole

I need to prove a point to my stepdad. This is absolute bullshit.
So if you think a trans man can be a man without a penis or a trans woman can be a woman without a vagina, please reblogged.
if you are under 18:
- your nudes are child pornography
- people you send them to can be charged with possession of child pornography
- you can be charged with distribution of child pornography
- don’t take nudes
This is not about body shaming, this is not about ‘telling you what to do with your sexuality’ this is literally a federal crime don’t fuck with the law okay.
You don’t have to be black, it just means you support us, you stand by us and you’re for us.
Sir Terry Pratchett awakens. A skeleton stands at his bedside, wearing a long black robe. He sits up. “Well, hang on, let me get my hat,” he tells it.
The skeleton reaches into its robe. From abyssal depths it produces a heavy book bound in sheets of lead and night. It is the kind of book that gets stolen by a rugged adventurer from a temple with more spike-traps than the average house of worship contains. It is the kind of book to which the word “tome” might properly be applied. Frost forms on its pages from the lingering chill of the void.
The skeleton coughs once and holds the book out to the man sitting on the bed.
WOULD YOU SIGN THIS? it asks. BIG FAN.
