Shoot For The Moon!: kirkspocks: WOW WAIT A MINUTE there was a shower scene in star trek...

kirkspocks:

WOW WAIT A MINUTE

there was a shower scene in star trek into darkness

AND THEY TOOK IT OUT 

you could see kirk’s butt in a skin tight wetsuit

AND THEY TOOK IT OUT

they showed carol marcus stripping for absolutely no reason

and they left it in


im mad as fuck 

If you’re gonna have gratuitous underwear scenes, it’d better be all or nothing. You have both men and women scenes or neither. Don’t be all “nope, no gratuitous male scene, that’s nothing but fan service and we have to keep that from happening” and then turn around and go “Yes! Equally gratuitous Carol Marcus in drawers, ok we can!”. It’s fucking hypocritical.

Here are some awesome and empowering quotes from several very strong female celebrities. 

And Kristen Stewart.

No, you know what? Fuck you.

Let me tell you about Kristen Stewart.

Let’s talk about how she’s the centerpiece of one of the most inexplicably popular misogynistic pieces of film shit and somehow gets blamed for it sucking, despite the fact that, hey, the books were actually worse. For those who were lucky enough to escape reading the actual books, her apparent lack of emotion is 100% accurate to Bella’s character, because Bella is in fact not a character but a blank white wall for fourteen-year-old girls to project themselves onto. Robert Pattinson is not the only one in the cast who hates Twilight, thank you.

Let’s talk about how she got crucified in the media for having an affair with a married man, when that man was her director. And let’s remember that she was called all manner of things for “ruining her relationship with RPattz” when she wasn’t even engaged to the dude, let alone married with kids. But oh no, she gets called a slut because she’s Kristen Stewart, she gets her career fucked because she’s Kristen Stewart, and the dude gets off scott free.

Let’s talk about how she is incredibly shy and anxious (rather, incidentally, like Chris Evans) but does film anyway, because she’s just that awesome.

Fuck your noise. She’s not the best actor in the world but she sure as hell doesn’t deserve that kind of shit.

That reference to Chris Evans is another example of double standard bullshit: Chris Evans is known for being shy and anxious, but for him it’s cute and darling and something to be awwwed over. But for Kristen, she gets dumped on and booed and ripped to pieces for the same thing? Fuck that shit.

Let’s instead applaud her for continuing on despite all the crap that’s happened to her, because guess what? She genuinely likes acting. She genuinely tries to learn how to be better at acting. She is genuinely passionate about it, and nobody should tear anybody else down for doing what they love, even if they (anybody else, that is) happen to fall into a cesspool of bad circumstances because of it.

Q:TAG, you’re it! The rules are to state ten random facts about yourself. Then send this to the fifteen nicest people on tumblr. ouo ♥

chaoticaddict

Aw crap. Uh. I don’t have fifteen people??? I have three others besides you, and I’m not sure that you’d appreciate being retagged. :P So three will have to count.

BUT YES TEN RANDOM FACTS ABOUT MYSELF HMMMMM

1) I’m hearing impaired. No one in my family knows if it was due to the shittons of ear infections I had as a wee infant or if I was born with it. Either way, I’m hearing impaired and damn well not ashamed of it.

2) I like to ride horses. Like my parents surprised with me with horse-riding lessons on my tenth birthday, and to this date it is still the best birthday present ever. Sadly, at this time I can’t afford lessons, but you damn well better believe that when I can, I am getting back into the saddle and conquering those jumps. Flying~

3) I would LOVE to fly airplanes. Too bad being a pilot requires you to be able to hear through the radio. Something I am unfortunately lacking the ability to do. :|

4) I can’t sing worth a damn. Doesn’t stop me from doing it.

5) I’m both an only child and have siblings. n____n

6) I’m gonna be a famous author one day. Too bad you (probably) won’t know my real name. n___n

7) I’m moderately to severely obsessed with Alistair from Dragon Age: Origins. And, maybe, just a little bit, with Garrus from the Mass Effect trilogy (with Kaidan a close second. HOT DAMN SON)

8) If you ask me about popular culture, there is a 95-98% chance I won’t know what the hell you’re talking about. This most especially applies to music. “You ever hear of (this band or other)?” will most likely meet with the answer “No.” I have often faced incredulous looks and/or side-eyed looks over this vast lack of musical and/or cultural knowledge, and sometimes I even feel ashamed, even though it’s totally not my fault. Well, it’s kind of my fault for not watching popular shit, but hey, I watch what I watch. Deal with it.

(However, if you were to ask me about more nerdy culture, like Doctor Who and video games, ohhhh boy.)

9) Hand in hand with the above, I prefer to watch older shows rather than current ones. I basically grew up on Murder, She Wrote, as a baseline example.

10) Today is my birthday. 5/22/13, booyeah!!!!

Dana the Ragnarok: you can ship something and

lordbryndenrivers:

veliseraptor:

arianne-of-porne:

  • still understand and respect that a particular character wouldn’t be into the relationship at that point in time or ever
  • accept it if the characters never get together in canon
  • be completely fine with other people not shipping it
  • not hate the characters’ canon relationships or romantic/sexual partners
  • realize that being in a sexual/romantic relationship with the other character(s), or with anyone at all, might not be healthy for one or both of the characters
  • if the characters are already in a sexual/romantic relationship with each other, acknowledge that there are things about that relationship that are fucked up and unhealthy
  • admit each character’s faults honestly and not excuse them (understanding =/= excusing)
  • differentiate between what you want to see in canon and what you want to write/read about in fic/see in art
  • understand that ships serve different needs for different people; not every ship or representation of a ship is about healthy, loving romantic relationships. Some ships are about unhealthy codependency; some are about hatesex. Ships are a way of working out fantasies that we can’t and sometimes shouldn’t fulfill in real life, or about working through real-life fears, hopes, and pains. Writing something is not tantamount to saying “this is 100% awesome”. Sometimes we have to indulge our ids, and that doesn’t mean we get a free pass to not think about issues of representation or ensure that the people reading our fics know what to expect, but it all comes down to, for me, the fact that life is too fucking short and painful to have to feel like shit for what goes on in our heads so long as it doesn’t hurt anyone else. 

this is relevant to my interests

Le génie du mal [The genius of evil, aka; Lucifer]; Guillaume Geefs 

“The statue was originally a commission for Geefs’ younger brother Joseph, who completed it in 1842 and installed it the following year. It generated controversy at once and was criticized for not representing a Christian ideal.The cathedral administration declared that “this devil is too sublime.” The local press intimated that the work was distracting the “pretty penitent girls” who should have been listening to the sermons.” [x]

apparently fox news specified for their confused viewers at home that “chechens are not caucasian”, which is perhaps the most succinct summary of why it’s a stupid term I have ever seen in my life

#chechnya is literally in the caucasus #that’s the joke.jpg #keeping the tags

I’ve been wincing over this too. I wish Fox would shut up… when it talks, it lowers the IQ of the whole hemisphere.
