Samantha, Deanna, and Castiel (Cassie, if you’re feeling dangerous).
so i’m into Supernatural now, and aside from the fact that it has completely ruined my emotions, my main opinion of it is that it would be 110% more awesome if all the main characters were ladies. fan art, of course, had to follow.

yeah, me too
2here’s some context. this is the episode of Arthur in which Neil Gaiman appears in falafel. you’re welcome.
For the curious.
i’ve long proclaimed that Arthur is the best kids’ show ever, but i watched this episode with my siblings the other day and it did my writer’s soul so much good!

so the whole time i was drawing this, i wondered, “what in God’s name does Benedict’s skull look like?”
‘cause that mandible-to-zygomatic bone ratio is complete BS.
and in a shocking twist of events, Jevonne posts art on her art blog!!!
My favourite tragic love story is that of an artist and their art

1. Dude, NOBODY LIKES SMALL TALK. It’s fucking boring, extroverts think so too, but you do it anyway because it’s polite. It’s not an “extrovert skill,” it’s a SOCIAL SKILL, and you should probably work on it a little bit so you don’t sound like a dick all the time. The idea is that small talk is supposed to lead to a BETTER conversation.
2. You having a lousy time at this party is BUMMING EVERYBODY OUT. Parties are supposed to be fun! When that extroverted friend comes over and tries to get you to dance, and you don’t want to dance, and all you can think about is how much you don’t want to dance and how resentful you are that your friend is trying to make you do it anyway, your friend is not being the selfish one. Maybe she’s being a little misguided, because she doesn’t know that the dancing will only make it worse! But what SHE sees is her friend having a lousy night, and bringing down the atmosphere, so she wants to help you and everyone around you have a good time. So make an effort to have a good time, or just go outside where it’s quiet. It’s cool, everybody understands.
3. EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDS. Something like thirty percent of the human race is introverted, so if your peer group is over the age of about 16, all the extroverts in your life have had time to figure this out. They’ve got an introverted friend, or sister, or boyfriend, they understand the concept. If you really don’t want to dance, and you’re tired and stressed out, and you need to go recharge your fun battery for an hour, just say something, it’s fine.
4. Being shallow is not an extroverted quality, it’s a human quality. We’re all shallow. I’m pretty sure the introvert population on Tumblr is like 90%, and all we talk about is Jensen Ackles’ cheekbones and Chris Evans’s ass Benedict Cumberbatch’s piercing, soulful eyes.
5. Acting like we’re the only ones living deep, meaningful, interesting inner lives is snobbish and hurtful, come on. Extroverts think about real shit. Extroverts write and paint and read books. Extroverts feel scared sometimes, and insecure, and they struggle with their demons. We’re all just stupid fuckers trying our best out here, so drop the attitude and just treat people like people.
Damn.

RED ALERT RED ALERT SOME OF THIS IS NOT TRUUUUUEEEEEEEE
extrovert is not synonymous with “social” and introvert is not synonymous with “antisocial.” it’s just a matter of how you recharge your batteries! extroverts spend time with others to get energized, and introverts like to be alone to get energized.
THAT’S IT THAT’S THE ONLY DIFFERENCE
extroverts can by shy and introverts can be social and w h y would anyone assume that a person who spends time with others to boost their spirits wouldn’t like reading??? i’m so confused???
i’m turning into a social justice blogger send help

“THESE TWO ARE CANON SHIP IT YOU HOMOPHOBE”
Thank you!
I am a gay male. Likely I’m one of the oldest users on tumblr. I’m 74. Yes, young readers seventy four. I have been with my partner Carl for 47 years now.
Please know that while we both know technology very well, we are also trying very hard to remember, and use correctly, the new dialogue that has grown. So, if any words appear here that are not considered correct…it is not because I refuse to use them. It’s because I haven’t heard them. Or seen them. Or am emotional enough while writing this that I simply use “old fart” words.
We have both been through it all. The hiding because it was illegal, the fear and pain of the loss of fifteen different friends and acquaintances from A.I.D.S. The times when you literally (not virtually) could not walk the streets without meeting someone that had a sign, or a pamphlet that declared A.I.D.S was God’s way of “ridding the earth” of homosexuality. We lived through the burning of homes, and clubs, and bars. We lived through the beating deaths. I lived through a beating that nearly lost me my right eye and left me completely deaf in the right ear. Carl lost several jobs because “he must be…” or “we know.” We lived through hatred that was terrifying and sickening and unimaginable to some today.
The hatred is still there. The overt and the subtle. Things are, however better (it’s a terrible word, I know). Carl and I married. We debated making it very public, but decided on a personal ceremony. The photos are filled with our friends who are 90 and…well…have a few pages stuck together, to new friends who are young enough to be our grandchildren.
Carl and I are in a variety of fandoms. Yes, we are trekkies-we bought our first color television just for Star Trek. Now Carl loves Supernatural (and thinks it’s gone so far down the crapper that they’ve actually made Naomi an Alien). I like Teen Wolf and we both watch Sherlock.
The opening statement made by the anon is so, so true. And to us, it is a new form of hatred. I read fanfic and write it. Carl and I both enjoy all forms of fanworks.
Here’s the kicker… Neither of us is a Sherlock/John shipper. We both see Sherlock and John as two men who have a very unique and incredibly strong friendship. Here’s the irony: I have been called a homophobe for not shipping Sherlock and John. I received hate messages in my (now deleted) Sherlock blog when I answered ‘do you ship Johnlock?’ with the single word ‘no’. It was oddly amusing: “Homophobe”, “die cis scum!”, “go kill yourself”, “you must be a lonely, fat, hag”.
When straight people go out of their way to “prove” that John and Sherlock (and other fandom characters) are gay, and do so with the cry of “if you don’t ship it, you hate gays!” It is an ironic form of hatred and, in a way, homophobia: These straight people are so determined to show that they aren’t homophobic, that they fail to see how damaging their fetishization and “look at how accepting I am!” is. That, queers can actually see a friendship between John and Sherlock (and any other fandom characters). That seeing a friendship, and not shipping John and Sherlock is simply that… Seeing a friendship.
When you demand, dear straight people, that others ship Johnlock, and demand that if you don’t “ship” you are homophobic… You are the one that is showing intolerance and hate: Your quest to prove that you’re on “our side” only proves your ignorance, your desperation to been seen as an ally, and the fact that you don’t actually see queer issues, or respect those that are queer.
You only want to see two guys have hot (or painfully bad, and painfu,l considering the how…painfully it is written the majority of the time) sex.
Read it; learn things.
Ok so y’all know by now that I don’t watch TV and barely even know what “shipping” means but I’ve got mad respect for my elders and this guy knows what’s up with gay fetishization by straight folks.
Wish the OP’s URL was on this post. Wanna follow. And give him a great big hug. And a high five for being right.
This man is my fucking hero and I can only hope to be as great and eloquent as him some day.
wow pardon my french but the only thing that can be said for this is DAMN STRAIGHT
i am pretty ambivalent about homosexuality, but if there is anything that disgusts me, it is gay fetishization of characters (AND REAL PEOPLE BECAUSE HOLY CRAP THEY DO THIS TO REAL PEOPLE TOO). it has gone way too far. remember when people were “shipping” those two attractive EXTRAS who appeared in DIFFERENT episodes of Sherlock? wow. no.this is a problem.
by violently forcing their personal desire for a platonic relationship between two men to become a romantic one, people are defiling not only the validity of those characters’ friendship, but the validity of homosexual love, and dare i say it, love in general. love is not to be boxed in by gross obsession, nor by slander and words of hate, and it is never, EVER to be equated to sex, or even to romance. love is more than two people entering into a “romantic” relationship. it can be just as strong (or stronger!) between two people who would never dream of kissing or holding hands or even cuddling for warmth in your poorly written fanfiction.
love means a whole freaking lot, and shipping, especially slash shipping, really stomps all over the toes of that.

just because a girl wears designer outfits or ten pounds of makeup doesn’t mean that she’s a mindless machine with no unique thoughts; just because you don’t give a crap about social norms or you don’t care about clothes doesn’t mean that you’re God’s gift to anti-conformity.
thank you.
Nono. You miss the point. Not all girls who wear makeup and stuff are stupid mindless sheep.
Just most of them are.
The ones that arent, I will happily engage in conversation
no, no… you miss the point.
every person is capable of unique thoughts, interests, dreams, and all that crap that makes us human. just because you judge someone based on their appearance choices doesn’t mean their brain is full of cotton candy.
and tbh, girls who we instinctively label “mindless sheep” are probably struggling really hardcore with their self-worth and self-esteem. why else would they hide under all of the makeup and labels? we should be accepting them, not piling on more societal pressure.
people are people are people. they don’t stop being people just because you don’t think they’re worth talking to.
so last year in my art IV class, we had this really stupid life model we were trying to draw from. he kept moving and snarking off at us, so someone decided we should all draw him *~neko neko~*
the next day, every single one of us got back a paper with ten points deducted and a giant sticky that said NO CATS
