Hello tumblr I heard you like changeling stories

Edit: If you want a physical copy of this comic!

In mine and many other east Asian cultures, the dragon traditionally symbolises things like power, wealth and strength (imperial symbol and all)

I think we often forget that in the story of the Great Race, the dragon came in fifth because it'd stopped to give people rain. Then it'd stopped again to push a rabbit adrift on a log across the wide river so it reached the shore safely (that's why the Rabbit year comes before the Dragon).

Dragons aren't meant to just be powerful - they are meant to do good with such power, and to help those in need.

So in this lunar new year, I hope you gain more power, so that you might be able to help others. I pray you have abundant resources so you may give to yourself and those around you. I wish you courage, endurance, kindness and generosity, for yourself and your people.

I hope you, and I, will be rain givers, life preservers, joy bringers.

I hope we will be dragons.

Asexuality

I hope the billions they're spending on this old lady when we're in economic crisis cause an uproar.

I hope the fact they've stopped people on the roads so they can drive past unimpeded and has thus caused a disturbance in daily life in a city that's already so full of traffic causes an uproar.

I hope the fact they're going to spend millions on remaking every piece of currency to put the new fuckers face on it when we're still in an economic crisis where people are choosing between food and heat in their homes causes an uproar.

I hope the fact that they despite the fact they're royals and fuck those guys, they had to do a vigil standing by their dead mother's coffin for a while and they didn't stop the public from going in and gawking at them when they're literally mourning their mother causes an uproar.

I hope the fact they stuck five people and the coffin on a giant fucking jet plane to move this fucking corpse from Edinburgh to somewhere near London creating a mass of pollution because the train or the car or whatever is too fucking common causes an uproar.

I hope the fact they're trying to force everyone in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to care and that they're pushing so hard to make it out that we all loved this lady despite the horrors and bullshit this family have approved of and allowed to happen causes an uproar.

I hope the fact people have had their life saving surgeries postponed because of the funeral and will have to wait months to a year to get another appointment causes an uproar.

I hope the fact there's another one of these fuckers on their last legs of life already so this is going to happen again soon causes an uproar.

I hope this whole thing causes an uproar. I hope this uproar ends this fucking monarchy or at the very least robs them of this power and this access to government money to do this shit.

But it won't.

And if it does, there's no way in hell we'll hear about it. It'll be nipped in the bud in seconds I would put money on it.

Fuck the monarchy.

id wreak mayhem for a really good scifi where sight was considered as exotic and numinous as telepathy by the protag species

Hannah Montana is fucked up because its entire POINT as a show is that children should be protected from fame and exploitation, but it stars a REAL little girl that's being exploited. Nearly every episode carries the looming threat of Miley being outed as Hannah and losing her peaceful teenage life to the ravages of fame. Her father in the show (played by her own father in real life) wisely protected her from the trauma of fame by making her wear a disguise and live a rather quiet, interview-free life. Meanwhile the REAL Billy Ray Cyrus sold his daughter to Disney Channel when she was 11 and forced her to read dialogue about how terrible it would be to face the public eye. Like... Jesus, dude. The fictional Robby Ray is 10x the father, and it's not even close. (It's also IMMENSELY funny that her dad doesn't use his real name in the show, while she does. Almost like he wanted a bit of a disconnect between his identity and his character. Something Miley didn't get.)

i have to carefully avoid thinking too hard about any time period before like the 1900s because i start thinking about all the dead babies and i fucking lose it

like!!!! i trully cannot countenance any argument that the past was better when nearly HALF of all young children died. 

Today in niche genres of joke that I can never get enough of and will probably still be secretly thinking about four years later
