love:
A couple months ago, someone taught me newlyweds used to plant sycamore trees on both sides of a walkway leading to their house, then join them together to symbolize two becoming one. Today I saw it for the first time. (by frique)
… It looks like an Ent is pissing on their door.
Reblog to have your relationship showered with Ent blessings, I guess.
October update
This month, there was no update or Q&A stream. The reason behind that is simple, but serious: I have never been so terrified in my entire life. As some of my Patrons might already know, this has been a rough year for me and my mental health, and recent events have made the past month especially difficult, compromising my productivity not only in regards to writing, but also academically and personally. It is thanks to those supporting me that I have been able to stay afloat and come this far with this project, and so I feel like I owe to my Patrons a full explanation of my current situation, as some form of reassurance that I am very grateful for their support and that I am still committed to my writing, even though there have been setbacks.
Time to save yourself. #VoteBlue
KIDS! In the US and elsewhere… older generations will use you as a prop but will work against making the world better for you, again and again. GET OUT THERE AND VOTE!
Please! Voting is super important and a right we need to make sure we’re using! There’s even early voting going on now so you can get it out of the way before November 6th!
reminder that if you ship ereri you’re fucking disgusting! 🙂
that’s a child and a man in his 30s!
besides that, do you honestly expect them to be romantic based on their interactions?? no!! that’s a mentor/student relationship!!!
honestly super gross and you’re immediately on my suspect list if you ship this gross shit!
look out, shippers, or you’ll end up on tumblr user cadet-ral’s list of people suspected of Shipping Crimes
In the fandom justice system, shipping based offenses are considered especially heinous. On Tumblr, the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Anti Shipping Unit. These are their stories.
FADE IN:
[Ice-T is standing across the table from some white cishet woman, interrogating her]
Ice-T: We went through your phone and what do you think we found? [holds up a screenshot of AO3]
Woman: A fanfic?
Ice-T: Not just any fanfic. A Shieth fanfic. What kind of nasty pedo ships a literal child with an adult?
Woman: Aren’t they both in their 20s? And not real?
Ice-T: A literal child.
Woman: I don’t think you know what literal means…
Ice-T: Oh. You think you’re funny, eh? Well, what do you think the FBI would have to say about this? [pulls out his phone]
Woman: Nothing? They’re cartoon characters.
Ice-T: We’ll see about that. [dials] Hello, FBI? This is the Anti Shipping Unit and—
FBI: Oh my gaaaaawwwdd. Stop calling us.
Ice-T: But I have a nasty Shieth shipper here! They are—
FBI: We investigate real crimes here, detective. You know, real crimes, with real victims? Actual living, human victims! Not cartoon characters! Nobody gives a shit about your anime space twinks! [hangs up]
Ice-T: Lucky you. The FBI doesn’t want your case.
Woman: Please get out of my house.
[camera pans out, they were standing in the woman’s kitchen the entire time]

Hey so friendly reminder about voting and elections that I haven’t seen going around yet but is SUPER IMPORTANT.
Watch what you wear and say while you’re waiting in line for the voting booth/at the polls. It is against federal law to do anything that might be considered campaigning once you’re there, and since we know that voter suppression is the name of the game this election, there will be people looking for ANY reason to remove you from the polling place. And they will nitpick. You have a shirt with a artistic picture of donkey on it? You’re visibly supporting the Democrats, you’re disqualified from voting. Want to wear a Black Lives Matter shirt? Not there you don’t. They’ll call it intimidation and kick you out. Pins, buttons, stickers, none of it. Wear the most bland, plain clothes you can imagine.
And then keep your mouth shut. Even the slightest hint of discussion about which candidate you’re voting for can get used against you. Don’t assume the people around you are safe to discuss it with. You might be overheard. There WILL people watching for these things, hoping to get rid of anyone they can. Voter suppression isn’t just about making registration impossible. It happens at the polling stations too. Be smart, be bland, be quiet, and make sure your vote gets in.
Also- and I have seen this mentioned but it bears repeating- DO NOT TAKE A PICTURE OF YOUR BALLOT. EVER. It’ll also disqualify your vote. Take a selfie when you’re out of their with your fun little sticker.
There was somebody going by the name of pathology_doc at fanficrants on ye olde LJ. He was a curmudgeonly crank and now I begin to see why.
no. fuck this nihilism. “let the nazis win, we’re all gonna die in 20 years anyway.” NO. the reason the dems aren’t as progressive as you want them to be is because the overton window has shifted into full fascism. don’t you sit on your hands and say you’re not going to participate in society until superheroes descend and magically shift it back without you having to do anything about it.
put your shoulder to the wheel.
