5 things about Deadpool that some of his fans make sure to ignore:
#1 Deadpool is pansexual, not heterosexual. (confirmed by literally 4 of his artists) and have flirted with men, women and people with no particular gender.
#2 Not a womanizer. He cat calls a lot of girls, sure, but he’s not a womanizer. When he falls for someone, he falls hard and probably will stick up with them until they get bored of him or for some reason go away.
#3 Has chronic pain. Let’s not pretend he cannot get hurt or feel pain just because of his healing factor. He feels the pain and there were times when he would curl himself into a ball because he couldn’t bear the pain of his skin.
#4 Is changing. He’s not the douchebag who was basically careless anymore; in fact, slowly he’s becoming a hero.
#5 It’s not all jokes and breaker of the 4th wall. What really pisses me off is when some of his fans take only those two traits and make it seem like that’s all Deadpool is. He’s so, so much more than this. He’s a very complex character and one cannot simply categorize him into one single thing.
#6 Just because there are older fans, that doesn’t make the new fans less fans than the old folks. Traditional fans should give a chance to newbies because once, all of us were new too and more Deadpool fans means more popularity, more merchandising and more movies!

God bless Supernatural for Charlie Bradbury.
God bless the writers for writing a non-sexualized lesbian who is portrayed as normal, who is not just “experimenting,” and who doesn’t hate men.God bless the writers for writing a lesbian who has strong relationships with men.
Thank you for giving me a character who is a representation of me and whose existence doesn’t solely revolve around her sexuality.
Thank you.

When a man wakes in a rundown apartment, hooked up to a strange machine, a dead body in the next room, he has no memory of who he is, or what he is doing there. Over the next forty-eight hours, however, as he works to unravel the mystery of his identity, he'll come to realize that some things are better left unknown.
lol when r ppl gonna get that this place was built 4 complainin abt shit that doesn't matter
wasn't there some character who the writers thought it would be funny 2 make gay jokes abt and fans picked up on it and it snowballed enough so that they made them gay 4 real
Except queer was used on homos because they were different and weird, which is literally the definition of queer and I'm going to go aead and state that asexuals and aromantics are 100% queer if not 200% (that's 100% MORE queer than homos) because they are being ostracized by the lgbt community because they're so “weird and different” so just, you know, try reflecting on that you gate-keeping trash.
i ignore statements like this bc i'm gatekeeping trash
Tumblr’s own Kayla Bashe, the author of Bluebell Hall, serves up a “thrillingly irreverent” explosion of the beautiful dead girl mystique in Graveyard Sparrow, her new Regency romance starring a neuroatypical lady detective and a well-traveled professional witch.
Katriona Sparrow, dubbed the Mad Heiress by most of London’s upper class, is the deceptively fragile ward of a foreign nobleman. She can’t stand making small talk with strangers, but her psychic powers mean that she’s unparalleled when it comes to deciphering the dead.
On a routine investigation, though, something goes horribly wrong, leaving Katriona catatonic in an upscale hospital and a serial killer with an artistic bent stalking London’s most vulnerable.
Enter Anthea Garlant, a young witch and academic ostracized from polite society for traveling the world without a chaperone. She devises magical accommodations to protect Katriona from the side effects of her abilities- but as she grows more and more attached to the other woman, her professional façade begins to slip.
Will they be able to stop the man who turns beautiful dead women into works of art- the man who is closer to Katriona than anyone suspects?
Now featuring bonus story Blood and Newsprint, about a plucky girl reporter and her butch best friend in old New York!
(I shouldn’t have to say this, of course, but given the state of today’s media, I will anyway: Graveyard Sparrow contains no dead lesbians, tragic lesbians, or lesbians who, for whatever reason, sleep with men, and the majority of named female characters survive the book.)
Trigger warnings: murder, murder discussed as an art form, attempted murder, gaslighting, the use of knives and guns, food, bones, ghosts, and HELLA BADASS QUEER LADIES.
Also featuring: women avenging the deaths of other women, ladies with agency, and a super-cute dog.
If you want to buy it (it’s only 2.99,) here’s the link!
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00K4G8OWQ
(Kayla’s other book, Bluebell Hall, is about a girl with ADD and dyslexia, a trans girl, a fat girl, a black girl, and a girl from an abusive home who all go to a magical boarding school in the 1800s!

when characters are just defined by their labels it already sounds so boring
this one su fan i followed defended jasper to the death but hopped right on the "pearl is abusive" train
like with everything else they discover, their behavior ends up being really creepy and fetishizing
There is a x-country schooling day once a month not far from me. I try and go as there is not a lot of x-country stuff around this area.
They post about it on FB and do a event page. Someone I am friends with on FB had posted that she was going.
About a week ago I had post that I was looking for someone to ride with that day as I wanted to school all the jumps but I didn't want to ride in a big group. My horse gets pissy if he has to stand around and wait for 6-7 horses. he wants to work.
I had a lady we will call her Mary, posted that she would love to ride with me as she was going to be by herself as well and wanted to school the jumps. We worked out what time would be good for both of us.
Then my FBF (FB Friend) posted that she would ride with me. I messaged her and told her she was welcome to join Mary and I and what time we had planed to meet ready to ride.
She replied thanks and confirmed the date.
Forward to this week, I contact Mary to make sure she is still good to go and that our time still works for her. I let her know that FBF my join us.
Then I was going to contact FBF, but I had a busy day and didn't get to it right away. FBF ended up contacting me first by text. She wanted to know what she needed to bring and what time should we leave.
This is where it got weird for me. I had told her what time we where meeting tacked up at the farm.
So my text back I said what I take and how long it takes me to travel to the farm. Then I asked if she had a trailer. repliy "no"
Now I don't mind hauling people to something if I am going but she never asked to travel with me. She had already said she was going on FB so I thought she had a ride or a trailer.
Is it just me or did I miss something?
All I can assume is that she thought that I would haul her when I said that she was welcome to join Mary and me. She does keep her horse on the same place as I keep mine. We don't ride together, have done one trail ride with others once where we board. I would never want her to feel like she isn't welcome the way the other boards have made me feel but I still feel a little weird that she didn't ask if she could travel with me.
Not sure what I am looking for, just that other horse people would know/feel the same way I guess. Not sure if I should say anything to her.

I seriously cannot stop laughing at Teen Wolf because “How to Get Away With Murder” has an out, prominent, series regular gay character (who has a purpose and story-line) AND this show has shown explicit sexual scenes between two men like no big deal, PLUS their ratings are bomb as fuck.
“The Flash” is going to have the Pied Piper as an upcoming villain and he’s gay, and they said that they will not cover that up. His sexuality will be shown on the show.
“Gotham” has also just revealed the romantic backstory between Barbara and Montoya.
And then I just heard today that “The Originals” is going to have a gay romance in their season with two of the characters.
But then “Teen Wolf” is over there in the corner like, “We just can’t risk having Stiles be bisexual because then our precious target audience wouldn’t watch our show.” and “Stiles is too important to our fans, and making him queer would ruin all of that." and "But it’s okay, look at this ONE token queer character we have that has no purpose, no development, no story-lines, and no reason to exist in our show other than so we can cheer about how progressive our show is.”
ALL OF THESE NEW SHOWS have already done so much more than what Teen Wolf has failed to do in FOUR YEARS on the air. It’s like, the other shows are straight up stomping Teen Wolf’s irrelevant ass like
(plus, I don’t even understand why Teen Wolf is worried about their fans not watching if they make Stiles a prominent queer character, like, you made Stiles hella hetero and people are STILL not watching your shitty ass show. How bout that 1.54 s4 finale rating, tho)

"But here it screams inclusivity for inclusivity sake. The author has gone out of her way to create a world where there appear to be genderless people (though no explanation is given on the nature of these people, or how the society works with non binary genders), WoC as the lead (whereas the villain is described as “pale”), a trans character (I believe. The line was throwaway and unimportant to anything else), and a world where same sex marriages and relationships are normal. It reeks of Tumblr produced SJW speak where the author attempted to cram every MOGAI representation into one very small story to prove how inclusive and modern they were."
this is the best bad review I’ve ever gotten. I genuinely feel like I’ve done something right. yeah I’m going to be inclusive. I’m going to write about people like the ones I speak to every day. I’m going to write about a world where my friends and I can be happy and free- a world that I believe will someday exist. And I don’t care about people who prefer an ugly lie to a beautiful truth.

When you’ve read an angsty post about your ship, you just kinda:
*stare at it for an indefinite amount of time*
*slowly point finger at the post and whispers ‘how dare you’*
*chant 'how dare you’ with increasing volume and speed*
*pound fists on nearby furniture and starts keening*
**velociraptor shrieking**
**continued velociraptor shrieking*
*roll over and admit that no amount of shrieking will make less hurtful*
*reblog so that others will share your pain*
imagine being this overwrought about wangst

nonas how do you not hate yourself for being selfish
i read smth someone said about a fictional character and realized it applied to me, how other ppl can move on more easier from the death of a loved one but someone more selfish who feels it more intently can't, and i feel like that's me and why i still hold onto things even when it causes me a lot of pain

I will defend aces/aros who enjoy reading or writing romantic or sexual stuff in fiction to my dying day but
I also wanna talk about the overwhelming feeling that no one will read a fic we write if we don’t include some ship or another, how much we’re told “if it’s not rated M it’s not worth reading"–followed up by “the fic was rated M and it didn’t even have smut scenes!” of course
how many times I’ve seen fellow ace writers talk about how they are trying to teach themselves to write smut they’re repulsed by because people keep demanding it in their works, how many times I’ve seen fellow aro writers buckle under the pressure to make the central relationships in their works romantic
how when we write about characters with nonromantic sexual relationships we get swarmed with “I can’t wait for them to open their heart~”, how when we write about characters with romantic nonsexual relationships we get “I hope they give in soon~”
how difficult it is for sex- and romance-repulsed people to find works without it, how frequently we’re guilted or pressured when we try to write it for ourselves
I am 100% behind the “it’s okay to be ace/aro and enjoy stuff with romance/sex” posts forever but we really need to talk about the pervasive pressure that we have to include it no matter what, whether we want to or not
we need to talk about the overwhelming culture in fandom that a story is worthless without it

tbh i h8 when there's a random phoned-in sex scene that just detracts from the story
like, it's all interesting and plausible and carefully plotted, and then suddenly they start fuckin for no raisin
if the reason ur sex scenes are so pointless and ridiculous is bc ur asexy then fine, u do u & take them out
