RIGHT. So. I just noticed something, and I have nowhere else suitable to put my opinion, so... here.
Society glamourizes alcohol/drinking far too much, really???
I was just looking at Mother’s Day cards (I know, I know) and I noticed that a good portion of them - at least half - involve alcohol, drinking, or wine in some way. It’s honestly a little disturbing. Alcohol is literally poison. Getting drunk is the effect of getting poisoned. Millions of people get addicted to alcohol/die from alcohol addiction every year, and even more have their lives disrupted from the addiction or death from alcohol poisoning of a friend or family member. Drunk driving is one of the leading causes of death whilst in a vehicle. Alcohol causes all sorts of diseases and health effects. All of this happens, and we’re encouraging our mothers, our fathers, our children, our siblings, and our peers to drink alcohol... for what?
Drinking doesn’t have a practical use. So, for what?
Fun?
Alcohol, a literal poison, is legal in almost every country, whilst weed/marijuana, a completely harmless plant, is still widely criminalised. The general population of many countries are drinking alcohol, getting themselves addicted, and draining their funds dry on alcohol, all on the reg, because they’re so bored that literally poisoning themselves seems like fun. And society lets it go on, unchecked, because that’s the way it’s always been. It’s time that something changed.
I’m not saying that moderate drinking if you like the taste of alcohol is a bad thing. If you legitimately enjoy the taste of alcohol, drink in small amounts. That’s fine. But if that’s not the case, please change.
If you’re a parent drinking because of your kids, don’t. Learn to discipline them properly, and that kids are noisy and messy and imperfect.
If you’re going out to bars or pubs every night for fun, don’t. Get a hobby, or start a new project. Even just sitting in front of the TV is better than drinking.
If you’re addicted, or think you might be... seek help. Go to rehab. Get rid of your alcohol, and don’t buy more. Get rid of friends who might encourage you to start drinking again.
Society glamourizes alcohol, and it’s time to make that stop. Please, don’t glamourize alcohol and drinking. It ruins lives just as much as drugs, or smoking, or sex addiction. Spread the world. Stop! Glamourizing! Alcohol!
That’s all. To whoever’s reading this, good luck, and have a great day. :)

So I had an idea for a thing:
I remember @sensoryseeker used to do something called Stim Toy Saturdays where folks would submit pictures of their favourite stim toys, but that was several years ago by this point. I want to start up something similar to that again, because seeing other people’s stim toys is awesome and great for discovering new ways to stim! Would anyone be interested if I revived Stim Toy Saturdays? I would probably choose a different day though (Stim Toy Tuesday maybe?), but yeah, let me know if there is interest and I will set something up!!!
(Edit: all replies will be trough my main, which is ‘montrealite’)
I’m looking to do a 1x1 Watch Dogs 2 RP with somebody. Preferably, the RP would involve both canon characters and OCs. Either Discord or Tumblr would be fine. Only requirements are as follows: - No one-liners.
- Warnings before long breaks (Over one week).
- Discussions before including themes that aren't already in the game (For example, graphic nudity, etc).
Contact me or interact with this post in literally any way to get my attention. :p

his ex
his shoes
his old outdated technology
his ass getting kicked by her inventions
“WHAT ARE THOOOOOOSSEEEE?” a true memelord
“don’t frighten me like that coloniser!”

the whole “mermaids are all colourful and friendly and wear seashells as clothes and collect sparkly things and sing to the fish” is definitely appealing, 10/10, but let’s be realistic for a sec.
the ocean is scary as shit.
as humans, we have only explored about 5% of the ocean. meaning, we have seen very, very little of what lives in the ocean.
in that mere 5% we know about, while we have found some awesome stuff (coral reefs, starfish, dolphins, fish that glow!!!), we have found some absolute fucking monsters. huge sharks, giant squids, eels, some pretty freaky fish, the list goes on.
so, let’s be realistic.
you’re gonna look me in the eyes and tell me that all mermaids are dainty little figures with brightly coloured tails, long, flowing hair, big blue eyes and perfect white teeth? no. way.
show me the mermaids that live in the deepest parts of the ocean, of places man has never, and will never, get to. show me mermaids who hunt in packs, who don’t sing, but rather shrill and screech, or are so silent that you don’t notice them until it’s too late. show me the mermaids with grey, silver, multicolour, scaly skin and eyes that glow yellow in the dark and teeth that make great whites look friendly. show me the mermaids with coral and plankton and barnacles growing on their skin, with kelp in their hair.
give me mermaids who can camouflage into their enviorment, who can shoot ink, who can electrocute unsuspecting prey. give me giant mermaids with tails like eels or like jellyfish or like sharks, that will kill anything they see, that can cause tsunamis with a wave of their hands. give me mermaids who are ripped, with no hair, with fangs. give me mermaids with armour similar to crabs, with flesh harder than rock, with nails like talons. give me mermaids that have hidden themselves away from man in the furthest reaches of the depths, who have slowly evolved to look more monster than girl.
bring me the mermaids that no one wants to acknowledge, the ones that fuel nightmares and folk tales and urban legends.
bring me the diversity, the reality, of the ocean into mermaids.
