Yesterday I brought my Monty dragon to a medieval fayre! He watched some jousting!
He also climbed in some of the same trees where I'd pretend to be a dragon myself as a child. It felt nice to bring him back there.

i feel like a lot of discourse around identities could just be boiled down to “you could not pay me to care about this”
hello melvikers
Late Christmas gift <3
you know the piece of art in my last rb made me realize why i dislike most disability related art. and it's that a large portion of it (especially on here) has messaging about ableism. like in the art itself it will have quotes regarding ableism. which is cool and fine, but i am SO tired of the constant trauma and reminders of trauma around my physical disabilities. for once i want to see someone like me just exist. i want to see them happy and peaceful.
it reminds me of how people finally started to view LGBTQ trauma p*rn movies. we as queer people are traumatized constantly. ENOUGH media about queer trauma. where is the queer JOY?
i feel exactly the same about disability portrayed in media/art and otherwise. where is the JOY?
the bitch that threw a fit about tying with a trans woman in college swimming is actually pathetic because they weren't even tied for first. they tied for fifth. imagine joining a hate movement over a fifth place trophy
Do you have any recommendations for Welsh singers? The only ones I know (other than Tom Jones because who doesn't know him) is MARINA.
thank you for the ask! as decided by tymblr itself, these polls show some of the top internationally known (?) welsh artists. BUT, here are some personal recommendations from yours truly:
an all female post punk indie rock band from carmarthen. their songs are really catchy, cover a range of genres, and satisfy the urge to be serenaded by a choir of angels with electric guitars and synths
an anonymous tumblr user told me about candelas recently, and I can't get enough. they're an award-winning rock band from llanuwchllyn, and sing in both welsh and english. if you're gonna listen to any welsh band, listen to them
the myth, the legend, the one and only. they're my mother's favourite band, so listen to them for my mam, please. if you like alternative rock from the post-britpop days of the mid-90s in cardiff, with a front woman who sounds like she smokes 50 packs a day, then you're in luck
I realise this isn't a very genre-expansive list, but hey, I like them!
