it’s so wild to me that you absolutely cannot force a hyperfixation to happen. like you’ll watch the most perfectly tailor-made-for-you content that everyone says you’ll love and feel absolutely nothing, and then the thing you watch on a whim to fill time will reach through the screen and put its damn fingers in your brain and start rearranging the neurons right in front of you and every single time you’re like THIS??? THIS??????? and this happens like every 6-12 months forever

i am being so serious when i say going to the mall is the fastest and most effective antidote to terminal onlineitis because you will see beautiful people and ugly people and old people and little teeny boppers committing fashion blunders just like you did at 12 and 14 and 16, and you will see women with unshaven facial hair and body hair and fat people and disabled people, and you will see people wearing out of style clothes that aren’t their colour because they’ve never once given a shit about “colour analysis” and people with big noses and unplucked eyebrows and yellow teeth or missing teeth or false teeth, all of them going about their lives in the same way you are, and they will all remind you very fast that the world is a lot bigger than the latest skincare routine or -era or -core and that you are allowed to exist as you are in your body no matter how it looks or functions and that every fucking piece of shit influencer is lying to you and that you do not have to listen to them

actually getting extremely emotional about the body diversity and Normalness of almost everyone in the cast of our flag means death. watching this show feels like watching a local theatre production because all of these people are real to me. i’ve seen these people, every day, all around me. they look like my friends :)

this new reblog chart feature is FASCINATING and it is also highlighting how much people on this website fail gifmakers and other content creators. you NEED to start reblogging gifsets and art if you want this site to continue functioning and being a place content creators WANT to be on. look at this

there are almost NO reblog chains!! the majority of reblogs are directly from me, and then it just. ends. the like to reblog ratio is almost 1:3.

this is why posts die. this is why artists have left, this is why gifmakers are giving up. this is killing tumblr.

reblogging is the ENTIRE POINT of this website, and you can’t just like something and move on and expect gif/editmakers and artists to continue putting in the effort to make content FOR YOU.

REBLOG. POSTS.

fun fact for neurotypicals: a suicidal person can laugh and make jokes and do things that they enjoy and live and work and function all while still being suicidal. stop erasing our mental illnesses just because we don’t constantly act like we’re mentally ill.

WHEN PERSON A GENTLY TOUCHES PERSON B’S SCARS  (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

um was anyone else struck by how Good chato was? like, as a person? all of his wrongdoings were done in the past and committed by a person who was now utterly repentant. he didn’t fight until more than halfway through the movie, because he was so scared of losing control and hurting more people. he didn’t want to hurt anyone!! and when he did fight, he fought to save his newfound family, as opposed to the others who fought because they were threatened with death. and then he pulled a classic Hero™ move and sacrificed himself to save the rest of his team, his family, because he didn’t want to lose them. for a character who was supposedly one of “the worst of the worst”, chato santana was pretty fucking Good.

i’m giffing The Gay Scene™ in the force awakens and i literally just now noticed that when finn starts taking poe’s jacket off, poe pulls it back up 

so take that how you will

one of the best themes in catws is the gradual stripping of the winter soldier (figuratively and literally). in the nick fury car chase scene where we see the winter soldier for the first time, he’s covered head to toe with no distinguishing features, and over the course of the film he’s incrementally stripped down. he loses his jacket, revealing the arm; then the goggles, revealing his eyes; then the mask, revealing bucky. the winter soldier identity is literally stripped away until the hydra basement scene where he’s shirtless, completely exposed, and regaining his bucky identity. and hydra wipes him but the next time we see him he’s still maskless. because at that point he’s not fully bucky, but he’s not fully winter soldier either.
