what ive gathered from these panels is that a bot walking around with his spark un-covered is basically equivalent to having your titties out
…you know if that were the case it would make a lot of other scenes hilarious.
Like Nautica’s amica endura ceremony where she exposes her spark: that would mean that the process of committing to a deep, enduring friendship with someone involves whipping your tits out in front of them.
Or that scene where Windblade saves Starscream from the spark disruptor by exposing her own spark: from Starscream’s perspective he would just be freaking out that he’s about to die in a few seconds and the next thing he knows Windblade’s pulling out her boobs and getting all up in his face.
…………..I hope your interpretation’s correct.
It’d be equivalent if people kept their soul in their boobs.
DON’T 👏 FUCKING 👏 TOUCH 👏 WILD 👏 ANIMALS 👏 FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY
This is wildlife harassment!! Yes, this animal was being curious. But curiosity does not necessarily mean that it was content. It’s very likely that repeated bubble blowing was a threat display.
And regardless, you should NOT attempt to pet ANY large wild predators EVER! Would you do this to a lion or a bear if it came up to you? NO!
(A side note: I firmly believe that the cetacean captivity industry has conditioned people to believe that these animals are cuddly ocean friends that we can pet and interact with all willy-nilly.)
One of these days, someone is going to get hurt like this and ALL THE BLAME will be put on the orca’s, rather then arrogant humans who think they can do whatever they want. The bubble-blowing was a big red flag, IMO. And how can you call spooking an animal by patting it on the nose an amazing moment?
Would you have put your hand in the water if it was a shark? Would you get out of the car next to a lion in Africa? Why is an orca different, why does it have to accept or even like what you do? Why can you not enjoy them from a respectful distance?
That orca bebopped right out of there when that person bopped it on the nose. This would be a really interesting experience but like that thing is huge and dangerous and you definitely shouldn’t be touching it.
There is no “safe way” to bind your chest. “Don’t wear a binder for more than eight hours a day,” “don’t sleep while binding” and “use a proper binder from Underworks or gc2b” are harm reduction tips, nothing more. Even if you do everything right if you bind consistently over long periods of time then you’re almost definitely going to fuck up your back a little and reduce your lung capacity.
Your mental health is a part of your health, too, and it’s OKAY if you have to make the need to reduce your daily dysphoria your #1 priority BUT everyone really needs to stop talking about binding as if it has no impact on the body if done correctly. It encourages people who don’t need to do it to do it anyway even though it could harm them and it implicitly blames those with binding related injuries for not just “doing it right.”
I was an athlete before I started binding regularly. Now I can’t breathe as deeply as I used to be able to, and any strenuous movement causes pain my my shoulders and chest. No one told me that even proper binding could result in injury, and even though I never played or worked out while binding, I still had to quit. I just wish we could have an honest conversation about the health risks associated with transition without it being viewed as an attack on trans people.
I never see anyone talking about how kids can abuse adults though.
Growing up I saw a lot of adult teachers get bullied by students and it sucked. They would purposely push them to their breaking point until they exploded, yelled, cursed, threw desks, and the ones who didn’t have that kind of reaction would just quit or end up fired because the kids would start rumors. One was because our new math teacher was effeminate so the guys thought “obviously this guy is gay and he’s after our dicks” and if he was ever nice to a male student (which… he was nice and friendly with EVERYONE and was the best teacher we’d had that year) they would start whispering behind me, “yo, look at that, did you see that? He’s flirting with his male students, that’s nasty” and so they made trouble for him.
My mother worked at a Discovery Zone type place when I was little and she would come home and break down crying because groups of little boys would call her names, call her stupid her whole shift.
I had friends in childhood who absolutely abused their parents. They were relentless and mean and hacked them into submission and it made for a lot of awkward moments when I would hang with them, because I couldn’t do anything since… they were my abuser too.
Just because you’re a minor doesn’t mean knives you throw are not sharp and won’t hit someone. The fact that so many kids on this site use their age as a weapon, as a way to say “but nothing I do has any impact because I have no social power” is SCARY and we need to try to make people aware of this kind of stuff from a young age because most people who are like that don’t really realize it and they need guidance and rehabilitation so the cycle can stop. Because those people grow up and have kids and do it to their kids and they don’t learn that it’s not normal or okay, that they cannot deny reality by controlling the people around them.
But sometimes it isn’t always that way, some of those parents were so nice and kind and I considered like family, and they just had absolute evil villains for kids.
Check in with yourselves, guys. Especially right now. There’s a lot of upsetting stuff being shoved in our faces all the time and it makes it hard not to get tunnel vision when our emotions get out of control, especially with the pressure to perform by a lot of social circles on tumblr. And if you’re young and a lot of this is new, pace yourself, you’re learning, and you need to be open to the idea of learning more and know that us being adults doesn’t mean we’re just out of touch boring old farts who don’t know anything. We’ve lived things and we have experience and when we say to you that it’s not okay to tell people who like things you do not like to kill themselves, we’re not “apologists”… we’re the survivors too.
yo this is really important
my piano/choir teacher in 6th grade was only around 20-23 whenever she came to our school, and she only stayed for 2 years because all the kids were so awful. one time she told me that me and a few other of my friends were the only ones who hadn’t said a bad word about her the whole time.
in 4th grade, we got an awesome music teacher. he was in his late 20’s at the time, really chill and easygoing (we were in elementary school). some of the kids would just slowly drive him off the edge until one day he ended up throwing pens across the room out of frustration and anger. everybody was either scared of him or laughed at him, and it kinda made it worse. he left 2 years later and teaches a civilized and nice group of kids now.
kids really can abuse adults. I’ve seen it happen a lot and it’s sad and heartbreaking and overall awful to see because so many people brush it off as “kids being kids.”
In 7th grade or so I had the most delightful Maths/Science teacher (the two were taught by the same guy) and he was always super nice. Like he adored teaching, he brought us snacks sometimes and like really wanted us to do well.
By 8th grade he was a changed man. We had young neo-nazis starting shit. We had kids screaming and throwing shit at him. We had knife fights and I’m 90% certain I remember him straight up being forced into a position where he had to wrestle one of my more violent classmates to the floor. My class had actually driven this calm, cool, great guy (he couldn’t’ve been more than 27 at the time) to actually break down crying in class. As far as I heard he was gone by the time I entered grade 9.
Weirdly, I was talking about this with my sister and cousins when we were talking about my old high school the other day. There was this one English teacher (I never had him myself so I forget his name) that EVERY class he had mocked him, yelled and threw things and moved things from his desk and stole and…it was unbelievable. Heard that one or two even attacked him. I never understood what their problem was because he seemed alright to me… Anyway, he left and I don’t blame the poor man. He was just trying to teach and people hurt him so badly, he left. He has ill health as well at the end of it all – so nasty behaviour like that can drive someone to physical problems too. And to those in life and the comments who are saying that kids can’t be abusive because they have no real power or have less emotional understanding, I ask this: If a teenager or child is performing the same abusive action as an adult, why is it not abuse? Why should we brush that off? If we don’t break that cycle, they WILL become abusive adults. The only difference then will be that they have the power they lack in childhood and nobody wants that cruelty. The way they gain emotional understanding is through learning and us teaching them. How will they understand otherwise? They might not know it’s abuse, but it is. I hope people in general can try and be kinder at some point in the future. We have to help each other.
Omg my classmates talked down to my German teacher almost every day in high school, and he was too nice to give them detentions so he just sat and had to take it day in and day out. I also had trouble with some of these students, but at least I could give them a sassy retort back to make them stop bothering me. The teacher had no such luxury.
Homophobic students called one of my teachers “f-ggot”. There was one teacher who broke down crying because of cruel those kids were to her. Then those students laughed at her, for crying. One student stole my 9th grade history teacher’s I-Phone. One student picked up a chair and was about to throw it at my writing teacher.
I mean…this is essentially the trope of the spoiled brat yelling at the sub dad to constantly buy her things. We’ve just been taught that this only happens in rich spoiled families and never shown the inner ramifications of what happens with dad after the fact.
if anyone would like to learn a couple tricks for carving pumpkins:
– dont cut out the top to scoop out the seeds, cut out the bottom instead. this way the pumpkin doesnt cave in on itself and lasts longer
– sprinkle some cinnamon inside at the top after carving. this way when you put the candle in it smells like pumpkin pie
this is the quality content I wanna see on my dash
– rub the i sides with lemon after you’re done scooping. This will also help preserve the pumpkin
It’s fucking June, at least wait until the fourth of July, you animal.
I’m sorry, I can’t hear you over the sound of me disemboweling this pumpkin.
