Call me Alias or Arcto. Any pronouns, I’m trying stuff out.
This is my main.

@arctobicwecomics my webcomic. Homestuck. On Pause.
Emmet meets a modern immortal Volo and knows this is the guy that yeeted his brother into the past. It’s been a year since Ingo’s return. Gear station is crowded and very public. This does not stop Emmet from practically flying over and attempting to strangle Volo with his bare hands.
Emmet, very loudly, calls this man a “brother stealer,” and hurls a million death threats at him.
The next day, there’s magazine covers calling the weird guy Subway Boss Emmet threw hands with “Subway Boss Ingo’s Mysterious Lover.” Emmet screams in rage when he sees it and rips it to shreds with his teeth.
The depot agents see this and slowly back away.
This is the origin of the “rivals are a Big Thing in the pkmn world” concept.
Okay so I’m going to take the Immortal Modern Volo thing and make it significantly worse.
Volo meets Johanna and falls in love with her and has a beautiful little daughter named Hikari/Dawn. He does not remember what Akari looks like or her voice or her habits or anything, because that was 200 fucking years ago, and now that he’s married he’s in the firm opinion that the world SHOULDN’T be destroyed, actually.
Johanna is aware that Volo is cursed to be immortal because he went crazy and did something very stupid in his youth. She does not care too much because he’s an absolute sweetheart now and that’s all that matters.
She starts to care a lot more when Volo, who just realized who Akari is after Hikari/Dawn saved the entire fucking Sinnoh region from a gang of terrorists, tells Johanna about Akari.
Volo sleeps on the couch for a week.
Fair enough.
Posting this iconic piece of media that I just NEVER found online isolated except in an archived reddit thread
Do you write music with the view of being politically active and delivering a message or does it just happen and the rest follows?
#this is a perspective I’ve only seen from people who truly think broadly and sympathetically about life#like he’s literally right I’m sorry and people who aren’t white or cis or straight learn so so SO early that your existence is political#not inherently but because white cishet men have crafted society in a way it’s impossible for it not to be#and ignoring that isn’t going to make you ascend above it god I’m so tired of having to explain that to people#I’m tired of people’s experiences in both places of privilege and place of oppression being used to scapegoat what we all can see#like look at his example!#‘going out for a dance on a Saturday night’ means something different if you’re poor if you’re gay if you’re a racial minority#’walking into a shop’ who owns it how often do you go is it a big box store or a small owned business is it walkable#there’s pOLitiCs in all of that! in ever aspect of your life!#ESPECIALLY if you take your life experiences and turn them into art of any form (via @twentyfour-mp3)
Friendly reminder that Hozier’s first music video, in 2013, involved him literally taking his life savings and using it to make a protest video about anti-gay actions in Chechnya. This was not a popular position at the time, to the point that damn near every interviewer asked “so, are you gay?” because they literally could not figure out why he cared so much.
Incidentally, after the first few times of saying “no, I’m straight but it’s important,” he started saying “you can think that if you want.” ALSO not a popular position at the time. Adam Lambert’s entire career had been derailed only four years before because he dared to be openly gay and sexual about it.
He literally came out swinging like Muhammad Ali and has not stopped. And he finds it odd that people find it odd! Like he was asked if he was aware of his “lesbian cult following” and seemed genuinely puzzled why he has a lesbian cult following (and, later, just a massive queer following in general) and it’s like. Honey. You loved us first. You loved us more and harder than most people were willing to. When it was unpopular to even whisper about how maybe queer people shouldn’t be seen as inhuman actually, you grabbed a megaphone and screamed. You risked not just losing a career, but never having one at all, to stand by us. You loved us. We’re just loving you back.
my tumblr dashboard hasn't gotten the updated UI yet so hearing more and more people I follow gradually post about the nightmare they're currently living just feels like I'm in the first fifteen minutes of a horror series where Troubling News Stories are starting to crop up on the radio and on blurry background TV sets
