if you’ve been trained to to dislike yourself for enjoying anything due to years of being told you’re annoying clap your hands 👏👏👏

if I listed out every particular instance that was met with negativity enough for me to stop feeling comfortable talking about it, this comic would be like 50 panels.

Okay so this is so important. Please don’t ignore this post if you think it doesn’t apply to you, because even if it doesn’t, it could be happening to someone you care about. And it may seem like nothing, it feels like it’s nothing for a while but after hearing people say just how boring or dumb something you love is… well, you start to believe it. Before you realise it you find yourself not finishing stories or sentences because there’s a voice in your head saying “shut up, no one cares” and just like that those things you used to love so much lose their spark. They no longer make you as happy as before, everything is tainted and you hate yourself for not fitting in, for not being as interesting as everyone else. Because if everyone says you aren’t then they must be right?
But no! It’s not true and you tell yourself that everytime, but it’s not enough. You have to learn to love the things you used to love again.

In my case, I’ve missed out on so many experiences because of this. I had given up trying to make people see the things I like aren’t a waste of time. But I’m slowly trying to claim them back.

So please, if someone you know ever tells you something about them or about what they like please listen to them. Even if you don’t really enjoy the thing they are telling you about, if they matter to you please listen. That simple action could mean the whole world to them.

I’ve experienced a lot of this myself, as a result I’ve grown to be afraid of social interaction. Remember, something that may not mean a lot to you may mean a whole lot to someone else.

this is the reason why i rarely leave my room.

Okay heads up for all Americans eligible to vote:

The Supreme Court just issues a ruling allowing Ohio and other states to purge voters from their election registration rolls due to their failure to cast a ballot in previous elections.

This is a major victory for the Trump administration and the GOP, and a direct consequence of the Supreme Court being stacked with more conservative judges (the votes were 5-4). This is also a huge part of what Trump/the GOP were counting on to save them in the 2018 midterm elections, which is where Democrats have been hoping to take back a majority in the House, giving them more power to combat Trump’s abuses of power and Republican legislation.

What this means is YOU CAN NOT ASSUME THAT YOU ARE REGISTERED for the 2018 elections, just because you SHOULD be. Thanks to this decision, red states can purge voters’ registration based on their not having cast a ballot in even just previous federal elections, NOT just the national Presidential elections. Effectively, if you haven’t voted in previous senate races or for congressional representatives in the past few years, that’s all they need now to say you’re no longer registered and need to register again.

They’re deliberately counting on people assuming they’re still registered and so not checking until after registration deadlines have passed, or showing up to vote this November and only then finding out they’re no longer registered, when its too late to do a damn thing about it.

And this is absolutely targeted at marginalized communities, low income voters, disabled voters, and basically anyone who simply can’t always AFFORD to keep on top of every federal election and show up to vote in every senate race, etc. Which not so coincidentally happen to be all the communities and voters who have the most to gain from Democratic victories in the 2018 midterms and are the least likely to cast votes for GOP candidates at this point.

This was absolutely a calculated effort aimed specifically at keeping the GOP in power with a majority control of the government come November, and unfortunately, it has a DAMN good chance of accomplishing just that if it goes by unacknowledged. I’m not looking to alarm or panic anyone, simply to say:

If you are a registered voter in a red state at this point, please please please do not take your registered status as assumed. Check on your registration status, look up all relevant voter registration deadlines for your state and district, CIRCLE THAT SHIT ON YOUR CALENDAR, and check your registration status AGAIN right before those deadlines pass, so you can be sure of it before its too late to do anything about it til the next voting cycle.

Yikes

Reblog this shit right now

Here’s a Twitter thread with resources for voters in every state to check on their registration status: https://twitter.com/AnaMardoll/status/1006221580458790912

Make sure you check it periodically because the newest voter roll purges likely haven’t happened yet.

IF VOTING DIDN’T MATTER, THEY WOULDN’T BE TRYING TO TAKE AWAY YOUR RIGHT TO DO IT.

Reblog this and then reblog it again.

I really try to keep my blog focused on art stuff but please don’t let the slimy fucks in power right now fuck you over.

some highlights from my students’ romeo and juliet modern interpretation projects:

- someone made a username for friar laurence with 420 at the end
- the same kid who put 69 in romeo’s username like i wouldn’t know what either of those things mean
- the girl who added ‘clean’ at the end of all the songs on her juliet playlist like lmao girl i know spotify doesn’t have the clean version
- the kid who said romeo and juliet killed each other
- the weird dichotomy of kids who put love story on their playlist vs the kids who choose bad blood
- the kid who wrote ‘get a room’ as tybalt’s comment on romeo’s couple pic
- the kid who said ‘romeo is probably one of those douches who follows a ton of people so they follow him back and then he unfollows all of them’
- the one who legitimately used the word ‘alrighty’ do kids say this in their text messages???? i thought i was the one talking like an elderly person but okay
- the one who made romeo’s username ‘montagoose’
- the only kid who acknowledged that posting about your secret relationship on instagram was a bad idea
- the girl who wrote that romeo would unironically say ‘#blessed’. she’s right.
- the one single solitary girl who wrote mercutio as gay as shakespeare did (she’s also the only one who used mercutio at all which is a tragedy but whatever)
- the one who wrote romeo’s insta bio as ‘thus with a kiss i die… LOL RIP ME 😂💀’
- the one who made benvolio’s username benvoliYO

You are an excellent teacher

I would wanna be this kind of teacher.

to be fair, most of these would make shakespere proud

goodness, these projects sound cringy

Not really, it sounds like they had fun.

Unlike Link & Ganon or Mario & Bowser, Ridley and Samus have one very clear storyline.  

And they hate each other.

A playful and friendly child, Samus Aran lived with her parents on a colony until it was attacked by Space Pirates led by Ridley.  The Chozo, a race of bird-like aliens, arrived too late to stop the colony’s massacre, and took in Samus, the only survivor.

Takeaway: Ridley killed Samus’ parents and destroyed her home.

Samus’ upbringing was placed in the hands (talons?) of two of the Chozo, Old Bird and Gray Voice.  To make sure that Samus could survive on the Chozo homeworld of Zebes, Gray Voice spliced some of his genes into Samus’ DNA, making her part-Chozo.

When Samus was only a teenager, the Chozo were betrayed by their supercomputer, Mother Brain.  Mother Brain summoned Ridley’s Space Pirates to Zebes, lowering the planet’s defenses in return for the Space Pirates’ allegiance.  

Samus was only able to escape the Space Pirate siege because Gray Voice sacrificed himself to get her off Zebes.

Takeaway: Ridley killed Samus’ adopted parent, and destroyed her home AGAIN.

Years later, Samus returned to Zebes as a seasoned warrior.  Ridley and Mother Brain were trying to harness the power of Metroids - strange creatures created by the Chozo to be an ultimate weapon against the deadliest creatures in the galaxy.  Samus triumphed.

Takeaway: Samus blew up the Space Pirate base, blew up the Ridley’s flagship, blew up Mother Brain, blew up Ridley, and blew up a robot copy Ridley had made of himself.

What was left of Ridley was recovered by surviving space pirates, who turned him into a cybernetic monstrosity.  Although Ridley never speaks in games, logs written by Space Pirates indicated that he was brilliant, cunning, and cruel, with a sadistic sense of humor.  He fought Samus several times while trying to obtain a powerful substance called Phazon, and eventually fought her with a Phazon-enhanced body. Samus triumphed.

Takeaway: Samus blew up Ridley again and again, regardless of what he did to enhance his body. 

When trying to eliminate the threat of Metroids once and for all by wiping out a planet infested with them, Samus came across a newly-hatched “baby” Metroid that imprinted upon her as if she was its mother.  Feeling compassion, she spared it… and then Ridley tried to kidnap it, but was stopped by Samus.

And then, as soon as she let down her guard, Ridley returned and kidnapped the baby Metroid.  He took it back to Zebes, where Mother Brain had been repaired.  Samus was able to defeat them again, but the baby Metroid was killed in the battle, sacrificing itself to save Samus.  Samus destroyed Zebes.

Takeaway: Ridley kidnapped a baby Metroid that saw Samus as its mother, leading to its death. Samus blew up Ridley again, and then blew up the entire planet he was on.  

Ridley finally showed up in Smash.

I hate Revolver Ocelot because he’s the embodiment  of that asshole who’s like “JOKE’S ON YOU, I WAS ONLY PRETENDING TO BE OWNED! IT WAS MY PLAN TO GET KICKED IN THE DICK ALL ALONG!!!!!!!!” 

but then you follow the paper trail and, son of a bitch, it turns out him getting kicked in the dick was somehow integral to taking down the illuminati. 

He’s also in love with you, your dad, your twink friend who is weirdly hung, and wears a long coat but no shirt

Excuse me what

Raiden canonically has a big dick, and Ocelot flirts with him.

Raiden canonically has a big dick

Care to explain?
