I have the ace one and I can assure you that it it just as beautiful in person as it is in the picture

Reblogging again for the link and also because the ace, aro and demi one are pretty nice low-key pride shirts which you can wear even if you’re not out, because strictly speaking they just show a dragon and a rather common symbol.

theotherguysride:

So back at it. I know I try to keep these hopeful for the future, with a side order of what I’m doing to get there.

The short answer? Everything I fucking can. I’m working hard for this licence, and I’m not about to let shit stop me. But I DO need help, and it always sucks when I have to ask.

I do want to say that everyone who has supported me so far: Thank you. From the bottom of my heart. You’ve made this thing so much less scary and insane. You’ve kept me eating too, which is a minor miracle these days.

This week started rough and is getting rougher. I’m not in a good financial position for things like rent yet. I’ve got some money coming to me at the end of…I think July, but that’s LITERALLY all going to fucking rent. On top of that I’ve been having a rough time with the brain weasels and I did some really scary math. 

I owe 1500 in rent, I’ve got old medical bills sitting around, my car insurance is gonna fuck me hardcore, and I’m trying so fucking hard to stay bare minimum afloat.

This weeks starting budget is 10$ in the bank account, 11$ on the metro card, and 13$ in food stamps. That’s barely enough to get through today and tomorrow and not at all enough to get me to/from school for Wednesday. An INCREDIBLY generous person donated enough to cover my cell phone for more than one month, so that’s good through to July. To this person: May your life be easier and your home prosperous.

Donations going to my paypal are still the best and fastest way for me to get donations. I also adore any signal boosting y’all do for this cause, because honestly y’all are the reason I’m even okay-ish right now.

Does this mean I need to cook? I mean, I’m decent at throwing cans in a pot and letting them get hot. I even open them first most of the time.

Oh, gosh guys, I guess I can cook. I’m better at baking but like, I can make pasta and soups and things.

oh god im a prompto that can cook.

someone save you all.

I haven’t eaten green things in - far too long.

Oh god(s), I am a Noctis!

…okay but I am:

A. Actually kind of really good at cooking. (Dependent on spoon availability I mean, let’s be fair.)

B. Incapable of letting anyone go hungry.

C. This close to flying in and sneaking into each of your individual kitchens to judge your spice rack MAKE YOU FUCKING DINNER.

…I’m worse than the Ignis. I’m the depressed, occasionally manic Ignis.

There will be no survivors. (But at least no one goes hungry.)

My spice rack is LEGIT though. I actually do like cooking, I just can’t do it often. And canned veggies don’t go bad.

(We’re the depressed, occaisonally manic versions of our counterparts I love it.)

I have the spices for spice cookies? *sweats* Again, I’m mostly a baker, I could make you all cakes and sweets but like. That’s about it unless you want soup or pasta or eggs.

(Oh, same. I too, am depressed, and occaisonally manic. version of my chocobro).

…I must admit that I am not the person in my household who typically does most of the cooking. And that individual - did actually go wild when assembling the spice rack?

I’m honestly more of a baking person then a cooking person?

(Astrals help me. Me too.)

via https://ift.tt/2rJzijN

(cont) Ardyn IS violently overprotective, but in a way that doesn’t denigrate Cor or Nyx - it’s more that he’s - almost desperate. Two thousand years. Two thousand years, and now he’s found them, and it would literally be worse then death for him if anything happened to them. No; Ardyn is creepy and possessive and protective, but it’s not - in a stereotyped way. It’s simply his personality - and he’s never expected them to conform to stereotypes. He just sees them as people. HIS people.

YES! that’s it exactly! Ardyn sees Nyx and Cor as people, his people but people nonetheless. He’s protective and possessive but in a way that shows that he still values Nyx and Cor as their own people and that he just wants to make sure they are safe because he’s found them and they are his and he’ll be damned if something bad happens to them when it can be prevented.

Both Nyx and Ace probably have wholly inappropriate reactions to the other in their Formal Uniform.

via https://ift.tt/2In3yre

TRUE! One time while hunting Ace comes across Nyx and the Glaives looking like they need help and Ace can’t help that he think Nyx destroying things is really hot.

Meanwhile, Nyx sees Ace and makes no effort to hid how appreciative he is of how the Hunter outfit looks on him.

Javert has been my favorite since I was 11, no lie.

I didn’t really put enough thought into Les Mis the first time I was exposed to it to have a fave, but man, now that I have it is so unquestionably Javert, the legal tiger. 

He’s just so EARNEST and MAD and believes in a VERY FLAWED SYSTEM and then figures out it’s FUCKED UP but it’s TOO LATE and also he has the BEST SOLO SONG and then – 

Man I have loved the stupid One Who Dies since I was a tiny child, what is wrong with me.

…are all those “Blue Lives Matter” people just Javert before he realizes the flaws of the system?

Hell has read the book more recently than I, and so has a hotter take probably than I do; it’s been years and I read the abridged brick because just I don’t care enough about the details of peoples’ lives to also read about how jet is made (which I don’t care about at all) in order to get to them. :D 

But I would say that the fundamental underlying motivation of “blue lives matter” is twofold – one is direct oppression of people of color and the other is a desire for every single thing to be about them.  

Javert isn’t interested in oppression and he isn’t a narcissist; he gets no benefit from his behavior and it isn’t a reaction to someone trying to take privilege from him. I don’t recall if you’re familiar with Discworld but Javert is what Vimes could have been had he swerved early-on and gone with zealotry instead of despair; he is a man who believes deeply, almost desperately, in justice, but has an incredibly skewed idea of what justice is because he’s never seen anything but the unjust laws he enforces. He doesn’t even seem to like it, it’s just all he’s got. 

Javert was born in prison. His life has been a chaos that he pulled himself up out of by his broken fingernails. He is desperate for order in a very disordered time and he clings violently to the law without realizing the law is not the natural order of things (perhaps intentionally blinding himself, but still). He sees compassion and thinks of it as lawlessness because it contributes to joy but not to order. And the first time he is treated with true, deep, self-sacrificial compassion – when Valjean spares him without any good reason to do so and every good reason not to – it shatters his entire existence.

I would have to re-read the book, but I believe personally that when he is spared he commits suicide not merely because he has failed in his duty or because his worldview is destroyed and he can’t cope, but also because he realizes that he could have been Valjean all along – he could have showed compassion and kindness – and spent his entire life brutalizing people because he failed to do so. 

So there are similarities, for sure. But I think Javert’s behavior comes from a genuine desire for justice without any idea of what actual justice looks like, whereas I do not trust that “blue lives matter” ever comes from any place other than a desire for a known injustice to continue because it benefits those who subscribe to it. They’re both rooted in a skewed interpretation of reality, but Javert is at least striving for something higher than himself.

ophie-opossum:

I’m trying desperately to leave the US, and I’m on the Next-To-Last-Step so I can apply for Immigration. I need to take the IELTS language test. I currently live in North Carolina. The only tests before 07/28/18 are on the West Coast. Literally the West Coast, Oregon and California. All I need is someone I can share the 40+ hour drive with, ideally I’d be going to Portland, OR for the test on 05/24/18, so I need help *FAST*.

You’d need to know how to drive stick, and have a valid license. Although, at this point the last bit is negotiable. I don’t care if I have to pick you up partway there and drop you off on the way back, I don’t care if you literally just want me to ship you to somewhere else along the line as long as I can pick someone else up less than 10 more hours in. I don’t care if I end up sharing the car with 20+ people over the course of this drive, I just want to go, take this stupid fucking test, and come home. I will cover food and gas, I expect sleeping, if any, is gonna happen in the car. It’s an old Subaru Outback, so it’s plenty spacious.

Please pass this on, the more people see this the higher the chance I won’t have to wait 2 goddamn months to take a test for a language I was born speaking. Shoot me an IM on here, or if you know someone who would fit these criteria and would be fine riding with a stranger who doesn’t have a Tumblr, have them email me @ ophie.opossum (at) gmail.com

The Senate's Net Neutrality vote split on party lines, with three Republican exceptions

via https://ift.tt/2IoEBzJ

mostlysignssomeportents:

The Senate has successfully voted
to overrule FCC Chairman Ajit Pai and save Net Neutrality (provided
that Congress and Trump agree); the vote was a squeaker on near straight
party lines: all the Dems and independents voted to keep Net
Neutrality, and they won the day thanks to help from three Republicans
who split from their party: Susan M Collins [R-ME]; John Kennedy [R-LA]
and Lisa Murkowski [R-AK].

None of the three Republicans are up for re-election in 2018; Collins
will face the ballot in 2020, and Kennedy and Murkowski are safe until
2022.

Eight the Republicans who voted to kill Net Neutrality hold seats that
will be contested in 2018: Jeff Flake [R-UT, who is quitting but didn’t
have the guts to stick up for Net Neutrality]; Roger Wicker [R-MS]; Deb
Fischer [R-NE]; Bob Corker [R-TN]; Ted Cruz [R-TX]; Orrin Hatch [R-UT]
and John Barrasso [R-WY].
