im gonna take this moment and do something I’ve been meaning to for a while now

I’d like to clear the air and clarify my stance because I know a lot of you are probably wanting to know this too, so here it is

i don’t LIKE elmo. i wouldn’t even say he’s one of my top ten muppets I’d hang out with. he’s a benevolent chaos god in the body of a four year old, and he quite possibly has the ability to overcome death it’s self as evidence by his goldfish being alive for 25 fucking years

BUT for this very reason, I RESPECT elmo. he’s cheerful, regardless of what lays under his decieving fur, he loves kids, and most importantly he is RED. (A trait I both appreciate, and admire)

i don’t like Elmo. I respect him. Would I hang out with him? Probably not.

I hope this clears stuff up and if anyone has questions feel free to hit me up! I don’t mind clarifying if you still are confused

im so fucking sorry this was supposed to go on my puppet blog oh my god

I’m ngl I saw a big block of text and was totally prepared to just scroll right on by when the words “I RESPECT Elmo” just grabbed me by the shirt collar and shook me down for spare change

geekandmisandry:

The far right is on the rise in every country, this is not just an America problem. Look at your own country and you are likely to find far right bigots who want to infringe on the rights of others.

I know it’s tempting to just laugh at the USA, but this is global, especially in majority white western countries. Don’t get so caught up in watching the Trump Show that you don’t see the weeds growing in your own backyard.

This is not a time to be a centrist, these far right politicians will chip away at the freedoms we have fought so hard for, it is their goal. Meeting them in the middle will not help anyone but them.

Stop giving them footholds, start voting in local and state elections. I know it’s hard and time consuming, but it’s also necessary. Don’t just sadly watch our rights slip away and mourn the rights lost of other, more vulnerable, people.

We need to resist like we are fighting for our lives, because we are.

my wife’s so cute because we both love animals so much but her way is very pure and genuine whereas my family is:

me, holding up my cat: stinky

wife: no!! don’t be mean!!!

me, swaying him back and forth in the air: stinky bastard man

wife: No!!!!!!!!

my mother, not looking up from chopping veggies: naughty boy. brat cat

wife, distraught: NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anti-villain motivations besides “tragic past”

chatterwriting:

the-right-writing:

  • They do bad things because they’re scared.
  • They’re gullible or misinformed. Example: somebody who has been told the heroes are out to hurt them.
  • They are desperate for interaction, validation, kindness, or attention, and the dark side gives them those things. 
  • They want to change their allegiance, but are pressured by people close to them to stay evil.
  • They have an otherwise noble goal that they will do literally anything to achieve. Example: somebody who wants to protect their child, even if it means throwing other children into danger.

That last one…my favourite…

Looking to catch up on Adventure Time before the finale, but intimidated by the thought of watching 279 episodes? Watched the series before, but want to relive the magic one last time before the finale without filler episodes (aside from Bubbline, of course)? This is for you!

modernmarcy:

Without further ado, here is an updated episode guide containing all the AT episodes that contain major plot, important backstory, and/or Bubbline moments. I have also included optional episodes that I think will increase your understanding/enjoyment of the show (I put the reason next to it; if it says something about being an arc, backstory, etc., be warned that not watching may make major plot points of the show a bit more confusing.)

I have condensed the show down from 279 to 181 of the 10-minute episodes (only 100 if you skip all the optional episodes). 

Once again, optional episodes are in italics. Episodes with Bubbline moments, characterization and/or major backstory/plot related to Marcy/PB are in bold. Anything with a an asterisk (*) can be watched at any time (order doesn’t matter, though you may still want to watch it in the same season). I hope you enjoy!

Expecting a Hurricane?

evil-robot-cat:

If any of my followers are in the path of Hurricane Florence (or any other hurricane, once this post is no longer relevant), I know you guys don’t get hurricanes very often, and you might be thinking it’s not such a big deal, or you might know it’s a big deal, but not what to do.  

First of all, I’m not any kind of storm prep expert.  There are .govs and google searches that will give you more in-depth information than this post.  But

I’ve lived on swamps and beaches most of my life, and this is what my family does.  

Apologies in advance for the long post.

1 – EVACUATE

If a storm is big (and Florence is big), and you can afford it, you want to evacuate.  Note – you don’t have to buy bottled water and emergency food if you’re evacuating.  That’s only if you’re staying.

Round up your family and pets, any meds you might need for two or three weeks, important documents, and a box of irreplaceable stuff (family photos, heirlooms, etc) and travel a significant distance away from the path of the storm and stay at a hotel or with family.  Your local news will tell you how far away you should go.  IF YOU CAN, fill your car with gas, because traffic will crawl at less than two miles an hour during an evacuation.

Don’t bring a lot of cash.  Thieves often target evacuees.  Bring credit cards.  

DO NOT LEAVE YOUR PETS BEHIND.  Areas hit hard enough by hurricanes are sometimes LOCKED, meaning nobody is allowed to go in, no matter what.  Entire towns can be locked for up to a month.  The National Guard cannot and will not feed your pets for you.  Your pets will die if you leave them behind.  Don’t do that to them or to yourself.  Always. Bring. Pets.

Comfort Items:  Bring the playstation.  You can plug it into the hotel TV and it’ll help take your mind off the anxiety.  Same goes for books, stuffed animals, board games if your family’s into that.  Don’t bring the things you think you should read/watch/do, bring the things you know you’ll actually enjoy. (If you’ve got kids, they might be excited to catch Pokemon in a city they’ve never been to.  You might be, too.  Go ahead and enjoy little things like that. ^_~)

2. HUNKER DOWN

This is generally not recommended unless you’re used to dealing with storms and willing to take the risk, but if you can’t afford to go, you don’t have much of a choice.  

If you’re accustomed to being snowed in, flooded in, etc, preparation for a hurricane is very similar.  Have food, water, and medication for everyone in the house, enough to last two weeks.  Get multiple power bricks for your phone and charge them all.  Text, don’t call – it’s more likely to get through and it uses less power.  Have a weather radio to keep up with what’s going on.  Stock up on sanitary wipes.  You know the kind – in the toilet paper or baby aisle.  You might not be able to take baths for a while, and those will keep you clean and healthy.   Also little plastic bags, in case the plumbing goes out.  There’s no trash pickup after a hurricane, so you’ll want everything to be tied up as securely as possible.

Comfort Items:  Battery-powered fans and lights.  If you can’t find any, consider the candy aisle of your grocery store for those novelty candy toy fans, and the home decor aisle for fairy lights.  Having a little bit of light in the evenings and a cool breeze in the heat of the day will make ALL the difference, I promise you.  Batteries will only keep those going for about ten hours, so make sure you’ve got enough batteries to keep everything going for several days.

3. OH CRAP, THE STORE IS SOLD OUT OF _______

Water shortage?  No vienna sausage?  DON’T PANIC.  

Water:  Your tap water is clean before the hurricane.  After the hurricane, it might be filthy.  Your weather radio will put out notices once or twice a day telling you if the water is okay or not.  Buy a bunch of pitchers with lids and fill them with water before the storm.  Put them in your fridge.  The lids and the fridge door will keep bugs/dust/etc away from the water.  For your washing/flushing water, fill rubbermaids (again, the kind with a lid) in the bath tub.  Open the lid when you need the water, keep it closed the rest of the time.

Food:  You don’t have to eat vienna sausage and canned tuna after a hurricane.  You just have to eat food that doesn’t need refrigeration.  

Fresh fruit – apples, oranges, bananas, peaches, kiwis, grapes, small watermelon.  

Meat/Protein – powdered milk, individual-serving boxed milk, jerky sticks, peanuts, cashews, almonds, cheese sticks (the room temperature singles they sold alongside the jerky)

Starch/Snacks – Some stores have a bakery section apart from their bread aisle. You’ll often find bags of hoagies, baguettes, melba, etc just sitting there forgotten because people panic and don’t think about it.  Pick up donuts and cookies, too.  I don’t care if you’re on a diet, that superficial endorphin burst that comes with eating sugar will help immensely.

4. STATUS BUDDY

Heh, heh, some of you will recall I learned this accidentally last year.  ^^;  You might unexpectedly lose power for several days, weeks, etc.  Ask a friend or relative (somebody you know irl and trust) to keep your friends in the know.  You can either tell your friends the buddy’s account, to follow and keep up with public posts, or you can ask your buddy to give private updates to your friends through PMs, into you discord group, etc.  Text your buddy and let them know how you’re doing until you’ve got access to electricity/internet again.  

Okay, so that was my long-ass post.  I hope you guys find it helpful.  If you don’t need it, pass it to any friends who do.  And don’t use it as the be-all end-all guide to surviving a hurricane.  Also don’t panic if you can’t do everything I’ve listed here.  This is more of extra stuff that doesn’t make it into the important official guides.

Help your neighbors, rely on each other, and pay attention to what your city officials and meteorologists say.  

You guys can get through this!
