"ohh but it'll take them longer to realize they're actually gay" i know my experiences aren't universal but like. if i wasn't ready to face my lesbianism then i was Not Ready, you could've eliminated every other label in existence and i still wouldn't have accepted it. if anything, the ability to try out different labels helped me learn about myself, explore the community, and accept that maybe not being straight wasn't so bad.

also lots of people identify as bi before realizing they are gay, lots of people identify as gay before realizing they're bi, lots of people identify as gay before realizing they're trans, etc etc etc!!! exploring and getting it wrong is a necessary part of the process!!! why is it so different for aroace identities?????

zuko has a customer service voice that he got from working food service and he does in fact use it during his reign as firelord when important people are getting on his nerves but he cant afford to lose his temper. it terrifies anyone that actually knows him bc its completely different from how he usually talks. i dont who that cheerful helpful-sounding man is but that is not our boy

You are all of the things you love. You are the cluttered bookshelf that is piled high with worn, tired books. You are that delicate tea-cup that you have to clean by hand when everything else goes in the dishwasher. You are the moon and the sun. You are the flowers speckled with rain. You are the Earth and the people that live on it, with hearts of gold and diamonds in their eyes. You are the things that make you happy, that make you smile, those moments where time stops and you are left alone in space. You are all of the things you love, and if that's so, it means you love yourself, because you are yourself.

it’s facial reconstructions of prehistoric humans!!

like, look at this part-homo sapiens, part-neandertal man from well over 30,000 years ago:

image

doesn’t he just look like a dude you’d wanna hang out with? like he probably washes dishes in the kitchen with you, and has excellent weed

image

what a charming fellow. what stories he probably has to tell. i’d definitely go shoot the shit with him on Contemplation Rock after i’d finished my day’s work carving a bone flute for the autumn hunting ceremony, or whatever

people have been people ever since people first became people, i tell you what

they all had lives and histories and families and friends and dumb gossip and games they played and total bullshit in which they believed wholeheartedly

they all argued about the nature of the world, and of themselves

they all sang songs

they all drew pictures

they all buried their dead in graves, and they buried their dead in graves well before they did a lot of that other stuff. they buried their dead with flowers, with panther claws, with the bones of animals they’d killed, with the bones of family members who had died at the same time or earlier. they buried their dead with their arms folded across their chests

they fell in love

they took care of their old and their sick and their disabled, even when it cost them

they made new things, and worried about what the new things meant for people everywhere, as a whole

Oh I like him he looks like he would appreciate my jokes

This dude would have great stories at a get-together and would bring some really great homemade dip.

I feel like he really digs Lo-Fi Music

This guy was sculpted by Alfons and Adrie Kennis, and their Neanderthal reconstructions are all delightful.

I love the kid in the last picture a lot- they look like a kid, just a little kid who’s done some mischief and is trying not to laugh about it.

I also adore their Lucy- they’ve struck a wonderful balance between the falling angel and the rising ape.

image

And their Turkana boy- there’s something precious and wistful in those eyes. 

image

But my favorite has got to be their reconstruction of H. floresiensis.

Just look at her. That’s a face of someone who’s lived and seen a lot, but also a face that’s known love and joy and laughter. That’s a face with a soul.

Yes! When we honor the ancestors, these are the faces we’re reaching out to. (Minus a couple depending on each of our unique ancestries.) 💜

Of all the things those assholes in Wonderland took from him, Taako thinks, his dexterity has got to be the worst.

It’s the hardest to get used to, for sure. Vitality, who cares? He’s an elf, he’s going to outlive all of the legends people are currently writing about him anyway. And he can live without being a flip wizard. But all he really wants is to stop tripping over his own feet. It’s undignified. Not that he had much dignity to begin with, but the illusion was nice.

Kravitz, veritable saint that he is, manages not to comment on his sudden lack of grace until the fifth time he sees it happen. Considering Taako actually tripped into his arms, he supposes he can’t hold it against him.

“My hero,” Taako drawls as Kravitz helps him upright again in the hallway outside his Bureau of Balance dorm. Another thing Taako can’t wait to be rid of, now that he has his memories back.

“Taako… forgive me, but I’ve noticed you’ve been a bit…” Kravitz hums, searching for the right word.

“Clumsier than Magnus after a bottle of Merle’s ‘wine’?” Taako snorts. “Yeah.”

Say what you want about theatre, but even if you absolutely hate musicals with your entire being, you can’t deny that some of the rawest lines ever written come from the theatre (musical and otherwise).

Here, I’ll start:

“And when my prayers to God were met with indifference, I picked up a pen, I wrote my own deliverance” – Hamilton

“You’re so nice. You’re not good, you’re not bad, you’re just nice. I’m not good, I’m not nice, I’m just right” – Into The Woods

“Death’s a funny pal with a weird sort of talent; he puts his arms around my neck and walks me to the bed, he pins me up against the wall and kisses me like crazy” – Falsettos

“This one’s for kids shining shoes on the street with no shoes on their feet every day” – Newsies

“Each girl had a core color palette that we played with; it wasn’t a firm rule, but we wanted it to be repetitive and consistent. Meg’s was green and lavender, Beth’s was brown and pink, Amy’s was light blue, and Jo’s was red and indigo. The colors are actually pulled from the notebooks that Marmee gives the girls in the book.”
- Dressing Little Women: Costume Designer Jacqueline Durran on Color, Character, and Breaking the Rules
