An Artist : Aw Man! I Saw My Arts Were Reposted On Instagram. I’ve Asked Them To Take My Arts Down

I don’t know if this is how it works but could you do one for Gracie please cause I love your mood boards 😊

Oooo can you do a name moodboard for Cadence? Ekekeke I love your moodboards sm

ok! and glad you like my boards 😊

your tag “sometimes a historian is someone who etches marks on the wall to catalogue your growth” made me clutch my chest and sit down. yes. i’m literally going into a public history grad program next year and you just casually summed up the entire field and why i love it. thank you

here is a gravestone from ancient Athens, a young girl with her favorite pets.

here is a food-sharing scene from the Maya site Calakmul. when they remodeled the building, the people there packed this mural with mud to preserve it.

here is a child’s footprint stamped into clay in Mesopotamia more than 2000 years ago. many of these have been found, and some are inscribed with the children’s names. 

we don’t want to forget each other. that’s history.

I really really like Eric with Adam and Otis with Ruby. And here's why:

Obviously with their shared history Eric has a lot to work through with Adam, but I like them a lot more than I liked Eric with Rahim.

And especially if you look at the sneak peeks of s3 and see that Otis and Ruby become much closer than before, I'm not surprised. First of all, because we all saw the end of season 2, and because, well, it all forms quite a nice theme when you put these couples together.

Both Adam and Ruby are two characters that can be very unlikeable at first glance - Adam being the resident bully of Moordale Secondary, and Ruby being the queen b, and the centre of The Untouchables.

And Otis and Eric are two people, who, fully willingly or by pure chance, got a glimpse of a different side of their respective partners, seeing them in a light nobody else saw them in before. Or even bothered to see them in.

Remember what Ruby said in season 1 to Meave and Otis, when the thing with her nudes was happening?

"I'm a bitch, Meave. I'm a bitch to everybody."

And Adam?

Close to the end of season 2 he says to Eric:

"I'm very easy to not like."

Neither of them really had any other role to play, as far as we know. All we knew them to be were a bitch and a bully, respectively.

Luckily for both of them Otis and Eric are both intelligent and empathetic, so they had the tools needed to get through their shells.

Did they have to do it?

No.

But they did it anyway.

And while yes, I like Meave, I like her a lot, I don't think she and Otis would or should be endgame.

For one, it's not uncommon in media about teenagers to have a male protagonist go for the cool, withdrawn girl nobody likes.

And we already know that Sex Education is a show that loves playing with subverting different kinds of tropes and cliches.

If it were any other show that plays out known tropes in a straightforward way, Otis would most definitely end up with Meave.

But Ruby?

We already know from interviews with the cast that we are going to see Ruby in a much different light this season. I'm personally expecting myself to cry my eyes out because of her arc this season, but I digress.

What I'm trying to say here is that we already know Meave to be a cool, intelligent and nice person, who's just protecting herself from getting hurt, hence - she's built up a wall around herself. And she's only really let Otis and Aimee in, more than any other people. Well, Jackson too, but that's a whole mess for an entirely different post.

But with Ruby, we don't really know that. That is, we are expecting from the get go that yes, this mean, smart alt girl with dyed hair definitely has a softer side. But the bitch in chief that is Ruby? Nobody cares whether or not she has any depth to her. She's popular, she's hot, she has a great fashion sense. That's all people expect or want from her. She's been playing her part very well for a very long time, but even her shell has several cracks in it already. And if we're lucky, she's going to drop the shell altogether in the 3rd season, never to pick it up again. I'm really hoping for it, because you could see when her and Otis were buying the morning after pill, that her mentioning her dad wasn't easy for her. It's the first time we ever hear anything about him or her family at all, and I think it's no coincidence that Otis of all people is there to hear it. I think that, similarly to how Eric did with Adam, Otis was the one who was meant to see this vulnerable side of Ruby.

And another thing I thought about - both Adam and Ruby are not people you'd expect to have a softer side or any redeeming qualities. Otis called Eric out when he heard about his friend's most recent history with Adam, and rightfully so. And yet I can't help but think that we are going to get a similar scene in season 3 with Otis defending Ruby in front of someone, maybe even Eric, to have the situation come full circle?

Because both of them know these people have more to them than meets the eye, and if they are both committed to defending them and being by their side, seeing them grow, perhaps all four of them can grow in the process, both as individuals and as couples?

this is the most positively charged image on the internet. with every reblog, they grow stronger

9/11 is coming up - and with it, a sharp spike of anxiety that always accompanies the anniversary. each year our community deals with attacks, threats, even deaths. each anniversary i don’t leave my house. i don’t go to the masjid.

i remember the time someone shot up the side of our mosque when we were inside

i remember the time someone chased two young hijabis with a taser

i remember the time someone intentionally swerved towards me when i was crossing the street and i stood frozen in fear

i remember the time someone slipped a knife threat into my mailbox

or the times my friends and i have been verbally assaulted in crowded public spaces and nobody said a word

call out racism and islamophobia when you see it. check in on your muslim neighbors and friends. refuse to tolerate the bigotry and hate that takes lives and spreads fear - both in public and online. stand united with us against hate.

UMMM GURLLL YESS
