Reblog if you’ve formed a meaningful relationship with someone you met online.
I’ve seen this go past on my dash several times now, never with any commentary, and you know something? It makes me uncomfortable.
Quoting the bible to support bigotry is something that I’m never going to accept as logic or any kind of basis for supporting inequality. You know what else I’m not going to accept? Shaming a woman for having enjoyed sex at any point in her life. You want to find a bible quote to point out that she doesn’t follow the teachings of the bible to the letter, fine. How about the one about eating shellfish, wearing blended fibres… Leviticus is a treasure trove for teachings that the vast majority of Christians don’t follow today.
But no. This person (of indeterminate sex, though I suspect the pink/blue coding may be intended to suggest that the commenter is a man) decides to pull a quote that lets them publicly shame her for having been sexually active in high school, in front of her family, her friends, her followers.
Then someone else sticks this gif under it of a group of men enjoying that shaming.
Fuck. That.

Feeling the urge to fill my queue and dash with nudity and porn. Can’t think why.
This is JASON FYLES and he goes to my university (Newcastle University, North East of England) He is 19 years old, 5’8, ginger hair and slim. He was last seen in the Sandyford area at 2:45am on Thursday morning and has not been seen since. He was wearing a blue shirt, grey cardigan, beige chinos and brown ankle boots. Everyone in uni is so worried about him along with his family and friends. We are coming together as a university to appeal for his safe return. It is thought that he lost his friends on the night out and tried to make his way back by himself. Please, I am begging for you to REBLOG THIS, even if you don’t live in Newcastle, or England. Every REBLOG means that someone else will see his face, they will know who we are looking for, and your followers could be the one to know his whereabouts. Stay safe Jason, we’re looking for you.
THIS WILL NOT RUIN YOUR BLOG!PLEASE. Nobody reblogged my own post on this which I posted an hour or so ago so I’m wondering if nobody will now. This guy is my friend. If I have ever sent you a nice ask or reblogged something of yours and it made you happy for a second (or even if I haven’t; this is about helping him, not doing me a favour) for God’s sake just help now, help to find my friend Jason. You want me to make him human to you?
- Once we all grew beans in pots as part of a Biology experiment- the experiment failed miserably and made the whole lab stink, but his was the only bean that grew and he was actually pretty proud about it
- He learned to knit as part of a school project where he had to learn a creative skill, and when a couple of people teased him about it he said “gender is a social construct” and carried on knitting like a badass
- He loves the scene in The Great Gatsby where Gatsby throws all his silk shirts around and he and I used to giggle over it together
- Once I asked him if he had a string of tinsel I could use in a photoshoot and he brought me a big cardboard box full of tinsel and fairy lights because he’s a helpful and lovely guy
He’s HUMAN and he needs our HELP and just PLEASE PLEASE FUCKING REBLOG THIS??? He’s been missing for four days now- when he went missing he would have been wearing his contact lenses and he won’t have had his (very thick) glasses with him so by now he’ll have had to take his contacts out and throw them away and he won’t be able to see well and oh God just please signal boost this
Northern tweeps, can we boost this?

D&D for the younger set.
Anyone have tips on starting a D&D game for 10-year-olds? Which rule set is best, campaign, etc? More important to teach the actual rules, or better to modify / streamline at this point?

I actually tend to prefer W.E.G. S.W. for wee ones - simply because there are less rules to work out and the dice investment’s cheaper as it’s all D6 (and those with less comfort around numbers tend to do better with dots, which are easier to source on D6), but for fantasy/D&D stuff, I’d definitely take a look around for older box-set self-contained games - they’re lighter on the rules (and include fast and dirty combat, which is probably important)
I knew you’d have useful advice <3

I’m probably going to lose followers for saying this, but I honestly don’t care, because if we don’t agree on this point then you’re probably in the wrong place to begin with.
Fandom artists and writers don’t owe you a damned thing. We create fanworks because we want to. We’re under no obligation, we get no compensation for the amount of time and energy we sink into projects, and the fandom is fucking harsh, sometimes. We’re never going to please everyone—we get ridiculed and criticized for the most asinine details.
You didn’t write my favorite pairing the way I like it. That’s not how I imagine those characters. Why don’t you draw more like this person? Delete your blog. Kill yourself.
Are you fucking kidding me?
Fandom is a participatory effort, and if you aren’t contributing in a positive, constructive way to the frenzy, then sit down and shut the fuck up. So you didn’t like so and so story? Great. Go read something else instead of leaving hateful comments. You weren’t impressed with the new fanart on your dash? Awesome. Go grab a pencil or a tablet, your medium of choice, and bring something else to the table.
I’m sick of watching good artists, writers, and graphics makers leave this fandom and question their talent because the fandom can and does behave like a spoiled child.
TL;DR: What do you as a fan gain from being an asshole?
