robustquestioner-deactivated202 asked: Headcanon: Asgore didn't kill all 6 children by himself. Most, but not all. Some were killed by members of the Royal Guard or other monsters and their souls were given to him. One human, the one with the tutu and ballet slippers, was exploring Waterfall when they got caught in the first waterfall and nearly drowned. Undyne found them washed up besides the river, close to death's door. When they died, she took their soul and delivered it to Asgore herself.
yahhss, the one child with frying pan in hotland? fell from fatigue from the heat and (possibly) fell into the lava. i mean, i see asgore as the embodiment of cowardice, he did what he thought was right but was too scared to do what would actually help. i get that he didnt want to kill children/humans but leading everyone on with this false hope, how long did he think that would last?
YES. I don’t think he could’ve gone through killing all 6 of them himself. He’s too gentle for it. I mean look at how much he tries to delay fighting with Frisk? He was much more willing to at first, when his children’s deaths and the grief was still fresh, but he’d quickly see the error of his ways. But it was too late to turn back. So he asked the guards to look out for humans and kill them (but of course Papyrus was just told to capture them because Papyrus).
What if asgore is the one who started poisoning chara?
IT’S 100% FUCKING ILLOGICAL TO EXPECT MEN TO HAVE THIS RIPPED SIX-PACK ABS AND BE SKINNY AND HAVE PERFECT SKIN AND FACIAL COMPLEXION! MEN ALSO EXPERIENCE BEING UNCOMFORTABLE WITH OUR BODIES ALL. THE. FUCKING. TIME.
I’m bringing back the REAL post. For those of you who care enough about how body image issues effect BOTH MEN AND WOMEN and how ignoring men with eating disorders or who have depression or deep insecurities because of their body image is not just ignorant, but it’s horribly insulting. Making fun of this post means you are telling men who feel degraded that they should feel bad about themselves and that they don’t mean anything. For everyone who reblogged the posts that made fun of this original post, shame on you. I’m very disappointed. Please share the original because this is an important issue.
Also raised to my attention is I neglected to add people of color to this post, I am sorry for my negligence so I shall add bonus images here of unrealistic expectations for men of every race, I chose Men’s Health Magazine because it’s extremely popular in telling men how to look:
No, guys, you don’t understand. I just got so relieved seeing this original post again that I nearly cried.
Bless the blog that brought the original back!
Here’s the original post without some of you asshats changing the pictures
This is actually the VERY FIRST TIME I’ve seen the original post, which goes to show how quickly people turned it into a joke. I confess that I did laugh at some of the absurd replacement images in the other versions, and I feel guilty for that now because I, like many, was missing an extremely important message.
To all of my male followers who struggle with self-esteem: I support you too. Even though I’m really quiet and have a bad habit of going weeks or months without posting, I WILL be there for you if you come to me wanting to talk or just vent. That’s a promise.
I’ve not seen the other one yet. Luckily.
this post is just… a brutal, BRUTAL reminder to the rigid and casual sexism that everyone seems to enjoy on this fucking site (if you don’t know why people are relieved, you’re among the lucky ones)
So I’ve been seeing this post floating around Tumblr about how Harry should have retrieved the Resurrection Stone and imagine how wonderful it would have been for the characters to have closure with their loved ones and how beautiful and emotionally satisfying and and and… heart-wrenching stuff.
But… that’s completely not what the Resurrection Stone does.
The Stone is a liar, designed by Death to draw people away from life. The Second Brother literally goes insane from the image of his lost love, and kills himself to join her in death. And if you don’t believe the fairy tale (heh), look at what happens when Harry uses the Stone: Yes, his mother, father, Sirius and Remus appear, but they lure him to death. They literally encourage him to walk to his supposed grave. What does StoneLily say? “You’ve been so brave”. Compare that to the urgency of Goblet of Fire’s ShadowLily. Do they seem quite the same? Does it seem quite like Remus to be so passive in the face of dying before getting to know his son? Or for Sirius to encourage anyone to simply accept their death lying down?
Time and again, J. K. Rowling has emphasized the importance of “moving on” in the context of death. Think about it. Harry has another experience with the memories of his parents which nearly derails him - the Mirror of Erised. The Stone - which creates a far more tangible memory and far more dangerous allure - is devastating by nature. It’s not heartwarming or romantic or sweet. Frankly, I’m baffled that we would forget such a critical part of the Stone’s mythology. It is no less a murder weapon than the Elder Wand. It simply kills in a more roundabout way.
