Why is this so relatable? 

You’ve probably been hearing this from everyone lately, but Hannah Gadsby’s Nanette IS A PURE GOLDEN MASTERPIECE

Why they’re not saying Ma’Khia Bryant’s name

The 16-year-old Black girl could never be the "perfect victim."

After watching 15 seconds of police body camera footage last week, viewers of various races and political affiliations had made a decision: 16-year-old Ma’Khia Bryant was “the aggressor” — the “fat,” “huge,” “knife-wielding attacker” and “maniac” who deserved to be fatally shot by the police on April 20 in Columbus, Ohio.

According to these viewers, Nicholas Reardon, the police officer who immediately shot and killed Bryant, who was holding a knife, was justified. That she was a teenager in the middle of an altercation, in which she was presumed to be defending herself, did not matter.

Treva Lindsey, a professor of African American women’s history at Ohio State University, told Vox that there are those who won’t see Bryant as a victim but as someone who brought this on herself. And even for those who do see her as a victim, they’ll still victim-blame, erasing the systemic oppression — including that Black children are far more likely to be in foster care than their white counterparts, and kids in foster care are often exposed to high levels of violence — that brought her to being killed at the hands of the police.

“People will say ‘I’m really sad this whole scenario happened, but had she not had that knife …’ That becomes the ‘but,’ the qualifier, the caveat. And too often we have a caveat when it comes to defending, protecting, and caring for Black girls,” Lindsey said.

Thinking Critically

Tip for all my artists out there! When drawing plus sized character; Give them double chins! Give them extra fat on their faces! 

I keep seeing people drawing plus sized characters without double chins or no fat on on their face. For example I saw a drawing of character that had one consistent thick line for a front facing jaw line and I’m not talking chubby, I am talking plus sized. The character had -1 fat on their face too.

Yes I am aware that some plus sized people have sharp visible jawlines, in fact I am one of those people, but when I see many drawing of just plus sized people with those faces gets exhausting. 

SO TO REITERATE DO NOT BE AFRAID TO GIVE PLUS CHARACTERS DOUBLE CHINS

Five: If I had a nickel for every time I've gone through puberty I'd have two nickles.

Five: which isn't a lot.

Five: but it's weird since it happened twice.

Once a Fowl and a Butler were put together, they were paired for life.

Artemis Fowl, Eoin Colfer

This piece of Art was inspired by this post. Enjoy

The elevator at Taipei 101: takes half a minute to go up eighty-nine floors

Artemis Fowl II: I need one of these for my two-storey private home which receives few visitors and is not open to tourists

Artemis and Holly are verbally sparring any time in books 1-4

Artemis: What is a hero without a villain? Useless. A villain without a hero? Successful.

Holly: Oh, so we should all be villains?

Artemis: Precisely.

This is so good! 

We had the ‘’Holly in a strawberry dress supremacy’’, now we have ‘’Holly in a cottagecore dress supremacy’’.

Thank you so much @hollypixie for the idea !:D

Not the Artemis Fowl fandom being awesome again

Based on this:

Anyways, if you ship Artemis with Butler you’re gross. I cant believe I have to even write that but apparently this fandom needs a wake up call.

It doesnt matter if you age Artemis up to 18. Shipping him with Butler shows that you thought this relationship that this child has with his bodyguard and father figure, a man that is canonly in his 40s when artemis is 12, was romantic in nature. Seeing it in the tag normalizes this trash for anyone that might be vulnerable, such as previous victims of csa or younger kids. Remember that this series is first and foremost for children and teens.

Happy 200th post!

reminder that eoin colfer literally did nothing wrong ever in the artemis fowl series

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Stop, in the name of style!

my friends r so talented. rb if ur friends are talented

Artemis Fowl yeehaw

so i'm just supposed to find out about elliot page's abs this way?

Was this considered an unpopular opinion?

Sometimes I will refer to artemis as a privileged rich asshole and yknow? I'm right. He grew up wealthy.

Yes, he had a shitty childhood of bad parenting negligence and forced maturity, but never lacked basic necessities to affect his childhood and was extremely privileged due to that.

And because of this he doesn't understand struggles that characters like Holly, who grew up in a working class family, face. Artemis says some shitty things to those characters without realizing. He's used to being prioritized first with the attention from the Butlers he gets (his employees) and the child prodigy status that makes him untouchable.

To summarize, yes, you're right that he had garbage for parents and suffers from trauma. But that doesn't make him 100% redeemable: characters can be flawed, and one of Artemis' is his privileged upbringing and mindset.

Stop Asian Hate

If this past week has reminded us anything, is that women are not safe. Fetishization, misogyny and racism not only ruin lives, but also takes them.
