I’m really tired of seeing people broken up into labels of absolutes.
People are not just “good” or “bad”.
People are not a list of labels.
People are complex, situations are complex.
I know, that makes it a lot harder when you want to just write off everything someone’s ever done as bad – but that’s not how people actually are, and it would do everyone good to stop pretending they are.
I am tired of hearing about the fear people have in putting themselves out there. And it is a scary thing! Putting yourself out there means subjecting yourself to people who want a really good reason to tear you down, who will jump at the first chance to feel “good” by labeling someone else as “bad”.
I reject this. I reject the idea that there should be fear in speaking up and talking about experiences and trying to reach an understanding of a situation.
I’m unhappy to see people spitefully urging others to cut off ties with their friends under the guise of “well, that person’s just inherently bad, so if you talk to them you’re bad too.” That is fucked up. You definitely have the right to let the friend know you don’t want to hear about whoever troubles you, but you do not at all have the right to decide who their friends should be. This includes guilt trips.
Anyway, just try to be more aware of others. Everyone else is a person like you. They might not have the same experiences as you. They might not understand how their words are harmful, or how what they’re doing is wrong. They certainly won’t if you never tell them.
Most people are trying to be good, but they’re going to mess it up sometimes. Try to keep that in mind. Even when people do really fucked up shit, sometimes they are trying to do good. “The road to hell is paved with good intentions” and all that.
Nothing gets solved, no growth happens when you put people into a box from which you’ll never let them escape.
Yes, you absolutely must be careful about people who have tendencies and patterns that are harmful to you. Sometimes people try to overcome those patterns and they fail, and you have to distance yourself from them: that is the sad reality of life. Sometimes though, they can overcome it. But they certainly won’t if the first thing you do is write them off after a fuck up.
Be sincere. Use your best judgment.
Hehe, thanks! My hair finally grew to my shoulders! It still looks like its up to my neck though cuz it looks like a bush... Aaaannnyyyyway, I have no friends so @maplespagetti if you want to

11. You can speak to animals but they don't listen to you
The things I think up whenever I take a shower are strange, but I just had to write this down.
—————
1. You can time travel, but only when you sneeze. Imagine having allergies.
2. Laser eyes but you can never turn them off.
3. Laser eyes (the laser pointer type), and you can never turn them off. Imagine looking at someone in the eye and blinding them, or checking someone out and they wonder why there are two dots of light pointed at their chest.
4. Shape shifting but your’re stuck in Europe during the medieval era.
5. You can levitate but only when you sleep.
6. Go through solid objects, but you don’t know when. You can be sleeping on your bed on the top floor of a building and wake up inside the building’s basement.
7. You can find lost things easily but when you lose something, you will never find it again even if someone else found it for you.
8. No matter what you eat or drink, your body will stay physically healthy. Problem is, you’re always hungry and thirsty and you’re not satisfied by anything you eat or drink.
9. You can see the future but you can’t tell anyone what will happen.
10. You’re an immortal being. You’ve been sentenced for life in jail.

This is why I don’t tell 99% people im bisexual
Me after hearing my dad say he's going shopping: Did Papa go out?
one of my favorite human quirks is when the power goes out and you’re w other ppl and inevitably someone says ‘did the power go out?’ like...you’re all sitting there in the dead dark, tv black, wifi gone, lights OUT but still they’re like ‘hm. well I have a theory but it needs to be submitted for peer-review’
May you not run into assholes that say "is it that time of month?" to tease you
May your next period be light and end quickly
So someone sent an ask to a hetalia blog and I think the op deleted the ask but I’d already typed this out and I’m feeling strongly about it so I’ll post it myself even though without the context of an ask its cringy.
Basically, you cannot call the Hetalia fandom tainted or tell us we’re forever marked and we now, at this point in time, have to start making an effort to change.
Firstly, literally every single media out there will be tainted with bad fans, with bad content, with bad everything. Just like rule 34, if it exists, there will be problematic issues related to it.
We cannot be holding back a fandom for the actions of people 10 years ago who likely are not even a part of the fandom anymore or who are extremely different to who they are 10 years ago.
Fandoms are fluid and constantly changing with different members, trends and engagement.
It has been demonstrated through time, the fact that they were not in the fandom to witness it is not the fandoms fault. It is changed now, every single fandom for any book, movie franchise, youtuber, any piece of media will have changed drastically in 10 years time.
The fandom is not tainted. We are not inherenting anything other than a show that we can create content for and engage with whilst being completely disconnected from the past fandom.
We did want it ressurected. That is how they found us, thats how the raiders found the fandom, thats how many old and new fans found it. It was in a ressurection proccess, with tags and projects being made to engage new and old fans.
Its being ressurected because people enjoy the show. Thats it. A fandom is a group of people who currently enjoy a piece of media. It can have a generally good or bad viewership (and most large ones do have bad ones) but a fandom isn’t tainted, it physically cannot be tainted.
Do not put a burden on us that was never ours to own. We can only mold the fandom now, we can only influence it now, we can’t influence the or mold the past and you cannot expect us to.
You can either judge us as we are now or you, in a genuinely polite way, please mind your own business.

Don’t let their names fade. injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.
A Spanish film company is gonna release this big pile of YIKES next year and well.... YIKES.
This El-Dorado rip-off is supposed to be a retelling of Spain's conquest of the Philippines... but seems to portray the colonizers as the good guys while the one king who saw right through their crap and fought back would be the bad guy.
Here's the thing. When the Spaniards came, most of the tribes welcomed them. But there was one who was suspicious. Lapu Lapu, the king of Mactan island. He distrusted the colonizers. Saw them as conqerors using the Filipinos' hospitality as their ticket in. He fought back and killed Magellan and stalled their reach to Mindanao.
Lapu Lapu was right. Once they were in, the Spaniards brought 300 years of subjugation and exploitation to the island. Yeah, sure. Filipinos had a lot of in-fighting (like every other society) before they came. But what the Spaniards did was shit on a large scale. Our culture virtually destroyed because Christianity. Priests raped a lot of women. Men were treated like second class citizens. Women were treated like slaves. Women enjoyed more freedom during the precolonial era.
I'm not one to judge a movie before it comes out. But this is worrying. Even if they stay true to history, they could credit Lapu-Lapu's heroism to the Flyn Rider knock-off in typical White Savior™️ fashion. I seriously hope I'm wrong and they do deliver and present the colonizers as the two-faced opportunists they were. But even then, I can already see some problems. Like:
After ruling us for 300 years, you'd think they'd remember what we actually look like. DEFINITELY NOT LIKE THIS!!!
Moana's right there!!! They could've copied characters off of that instead of characters from El Dorado for fuck's sake!!!! And why the hell is the king of Cebu, which is just off the coast of Mactan, PALE!!! Glutathione didn't exist back then!!!! WTF?!
My country's real suspicious about this movie. They plan to check it thoroughly before releasing it in local theaters. If necessary, ban it. I'm not gonna judge people if they choose to watch.
But please. Whatever this movie's spin is going to be, it is important to know the truth about this part of our history before going in to see it. Lapu Lapu is a hero. The Spaniards are conquerors who brought 300 years of suffering when the Filipinos let them in.
Sweden: What the fuck did you say about me, you little bitch?
