reblogging trans memes for myself and i gotta say it’s a real pain in the ass to check the tags to make sure that i don’t reblog some transmed or truscum bullshit
hey, if you’ve ever wanted to learn how to make a gif but doing it traditionally in photoshop is too hard, you should look at this.
gifcam is an app designed to make making gifs easy. all you have to do to record a gif is size the window and hit record. it has a built in editor and it saves with low filesizes and many options.
the best thing about the whole deal is that its completely free. yeah. thats right. you wont pay for anything and you’ll never have to
you can download gifcam here, and if you want, you could reblog to spread the word about this awesome software
I have been given unreasonable power
i am too powerful now
I need this.
GIFCAM IS 100% SAFE AND FUN TO USE! IT’S A FANTASTIC TIME SAVER, TOO!
This is cool, but it is not supported by mac products!
For magic improvements on thing that is already perfect:
Use one spoon white sugar, and one spoon brown if you have it.
After microwave, before noms, add vanilla ice cream.
o/
salt is a flavour enhancer, add just a tiny dash, not enough to make it salty.
Because I love you all.
reblogging cause i need to save this
A note for those who have trouble measuring butter with a spoon as I do: one cup I am sixteen tablespoons. Butter/margarine bricks are usually a half a cup, so just cut one eighth of that amount
These are really good! And yes, for the love of god, if you have it use white sugar and brown sugar, add just a pinch of salt, and as many chocolate chips as you darn well please. Great with icecream, whipped cream on top, or a tall glass of milk (keep in mind you gotta eat it with a spoon, you can’t dip it in milk)
uh for elves in general, i imagine them as pretty cat-like with fangs, swiveling ears, tails, and claws. for the twins in particular, i imagine them as brown-skinned with bottle-blond hair.
for most everyone else i don’t have like a set headcanon? i usually go with the generally accepted fandom designs
What’s up everybody, everything kinda sucks right now and I wanted to think about something lighthearted so uh, Monster High AU? I’m not gonna link the MH characters because of tumblr but if you care you can find them on monsterhigh.wikia
Magnus is a werewolf, Julia too probably (Clawdeen Wolf)
Lup & Taako are werecats because I can’t think of anything better and elves = cats (Meowlody & Purrshephone)
Kravitz is a grim reaper, so River Styxx (she even has a raven skeleton as a pet, how fitting is that?) River is a pastel goth and I’m kind of on the fence if I want that for Kravitz or nah
Barry’s a zombie or a ghost
Merle is some kind of plant monster, something like Venus McFlytrap
Davenport is a water monster, like Lorna McNessie maybe lol
Lucretia is a deer spirit like Isi Dawndancer (or a deer centaur thing) just because I can’t think of anything and I think she’d be super beautiful with deer antlers and spots and if she was a centaur she’d be so tall and cool,,,
Sloane is a harpy and Hurley is a faun
Edward and Lydia are mummies because they are bitchy like Cleo de Nile and her sister
Brian is a spider, like Wydowna Spider and I like Ren being his sister so she’s a spider too. She’s amazing at home ec because of her six arms 😀
I don’t know why Angus would be in a high school but he’s a dragon obv (Jinafire Long?)
Carey is a dragon too and I dunno about Killian???
Johann could be a siren or a phantom of the opera (Operetta)
I dunno about Avi, I was thinking werewolf but @selkie-elf suggested a fox variant but I think that would make Avi way too hot :DD
“Seventeen things you have to learn for yourself as a Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Questioning, Intersex, Asexual, Pansexual
or otherwise Queer youth
by the time you are seventeen. One is that the first Pride was a riot
I don’t mean that it was full of laughter, or that it was some grand party
where everyone spiraled up to dance among the stars
because the only glittering that night was broken glass on cobblestones. The first Pride was a riot
on the backstreets of New York
and they never tell us that night
we won. The only protest
in a decade full of turmoil where the cops had to hide out in the bar they raided
and run from shouting rioters who fought to reclaim the only patch of ground they had ever claimed as theirs
the first Pride was a riot, and two, around the same time it took place
it was a debated topic in the gay community
whether or not they should say
that they weren’t mentally ill which, three, homosexuality was removed from the American Psychiatric Association’s list of mental illnesses
in 1974
congratulations
all it took was a vote to declare that, whoops, we were never mentally ill except, four, there are still teenagers being tortured today
in what some dare blaspheme as “therapy”
used to destroy their self-identity in the hopes of making them normal.
except, four, the queer community still carries overwhelmingly high rates for poverty and homelessness and depression. Did you know that, five,
over half the children forced into conversion therapy
commit suicide? And six, that lesbians
were regarded as “hangers-on” of the movement
by much of the gay community before the AIDS crisis? Because it turns out, seven can wear a rainbow on your shirt
and still be a bigot. There are people who stick rainbows in their ears
or wear them on their fingers
or slap them across their cheeks in badges of defiance
and will still hate you for the color of your skin
or the size of your thighs
or your gender
or the way you like to kiss two or more genders
or none of the above.
Don’t ask me why this happens
it just does
I think it might be that we’ve all been taught to hate ourselves
for so damn long
that we don’t understand what to do in a space with no hate. Or maybe it’s that the space seems too small, because eight, there are people who will tell you that you are not enough that you do not reach the magical benchmark of “gay enough” to pass through the gate even
especially
when you are some flavor of the rainbow other than straight-out gay.
eight, this is bullshit
eight, those people are bullshit. eight, you are enough. eight, there is always enough room. nine, there is no overarching “homosexual agenda”
sorry
we’re all kind of flailing along in here trying to figure out some way to make it work
when most of us have nothing in common
except that society looked at us in different ways and decided we didn’t fit
so we could all go be misfits together
under one big rainbow flag but just so you know, ten, there are plenty of other flags
there is one for you, I promise and eleven, misfits may not all need the same things but we need to stick together, especially in a world where twelve—refer to point seven—there are lesbians who hate other lesbians
for having the audacity to be born in a body
that everyone looked at and saw “boy” which brings me to thirteen, there is so much to understand. fourteen, you need to understand
because we need to stick together
and to stick together we do not have to be the same but we do have to understand
and it will be hard because
you were probably thrown into this world with no warning because fifteen, being queer is not genetic and we are not unique among minorities
in that we collect our heritage through broken bits of history and research in a world constantly working to make those misfit bits go away
but we are unique in that when we try to prove our legacy
we can be laughed down or re-erased
or flat out ignored
but I swear to you you have a history as old as Alexander the Great
as beautiful as Sappho
as dignified as Abraham Lincoln
and as proud as Eleanor Roosevelt. But even with that behind us
sixteen, they have always watched us die. because even though the bystander effect is bullshit, sixteen
Kitty Genovese was a lesbian, sixteen
Ronald Reagan is a mass murderer, sixteen
our children, your brothers and sisters and siblings of all stripes and all colors and sexualities and genders are being murdered
through neglect
and rejection
and hate. Sixteen, there is an entire generation of gay and bisexual men
missing from history because the government chose to do nothing
when they were dying by the thousands.
sixteen, we died from the disease and died from going back into the closet and died for staying there and died for coming out,
sixteen, they laughed at us because they believed god was punishing us for daring to love,
sixteen, ashes of your forerunners rest on the lawn of the White House because SIXTEEN, THEY HAVE ALWAYS WATCHED US DIE. SEVENTEEN
you are allowed
to be angry. You do not have to be one of the nice gays
or one of the nice trans people
or sweet or kind or educate the rest of the world in something less than a yell you are allowed to be so furious it scalds your bones at the way we are forgotten
and passed over at the way, as soon as June becomes July
we are expected
to go back to dying in silence
and mourning our dead
and kissing all alone when no one can be offended at the sight of us. You are allowed to be angry
and scream down the stars
to shatter like broken glass at your feet because you know what?
The first Pride
was a riot.”
ok so that. that mcelroy culture in hogwarts post i made is Almost @ 1k notes so i thought id, post some more silly hcs here for the ones tht Liked That? this gets its own post bc i want!! ppl to see it and rbs dont show up in tags so

muggleborns naming their owls silly things like taako, their muggle friends sigh exasperated “you named your fucking owl taco???”
the “SEVEN PARROTS” bit but with owls OR frogs thats all i gotta say
disarming monster factory-esque nicknames given to horrifying monsters, the blastended skrewt is referred to solely as “HOTBOY”
one kid has a bird named ms beakman and they dont expect anyone to get it but their roommate loses their fucking mind and they find a way to bingewatch griffins nuzlocke that night
halfbloods getting their magic parent to help them animate their fucking taz fanart to tweet at the boys over their break
muggleborns and halfbloods constantly referring to everything as fantasy [blank] and purebloods who arent In on it and teachers are so annoyed all the way until they graduate
in year 1 none of the purebloods have any idea what the fuck any of this is but by year 3 at least half of them have mastered the taako voice and at least one has joked “if i ever become a death eater im taming one of those spiders in the forest and being magic brian but in real life” and then pauses and adds a little more seriously “i might do that anyway”
certain wizards getting their parents to enchant their umbrellas or their robes for their taako/lup/barry cosplays

all the teachers just so fucking befuddled by all these weird new speech patterns??? why do they call everything an [adjective] boy, whats with these weird cadences, Who is Magic Brian And Why Does Everyone Want To Be Him
pls feel free 2 add ur own in rbs bc i love this and im glad other ppl enjoy it as much as i do, im sorry this one is very also taz focused hhgh
I love the clothes from Volante Design (“Superhuman Streetwear”); their latest is the “Starfleet 2364” line of men’s and women’s jackets inspired by Star Trek: The Next Generation uniforms.
The jackets are made of heavy denim and are basically extremely well-styled/tailored biker jackets (like Volante’s excellent Hacker
jackets), partially or fully unzipping them and folding down their
lapels takes them from “cosplay” to “cosplay adjacent” in an instant.
They’ve got loads of interior and exterior pockets, and are
double-stitched and come in “Command Red, Operations Gold, or Sciences
Blue,” sized 37 – 51, 55 (men), and 33 – 45 (women). They’re made in
Chicago, retail for $315, and will ship by December 14th.
Fun fact: the cat is checking the baby’s mouth to see if it is still breathing. Were it not breathing, the cat would commence to eat it.
FUN FACT
Omfg
That’s just blatantly untrue. While cats have been known to eat human corpses, it’s generally only when they’re starving and have no other food source. Seriously, quit demonizing cats.
Nose touches (as you see here) are a cats way of saying hello. It’s a friendly greeting. It’s NOT checking for breath.
Laying on a human (as you see here) is literally cat cuddling. Thats it.
We have literal records of cats going out of their way to save the lives of children from various dangers, from fires, to dog attacks, to choking to death. Its very easy to look up.
The only cases of cats eating their humans, have always been when their human died and it has been several days without the body being found. Amazingly this tends to line up with the cat not being fed and therefore STARVING.
It’s also a common thing among most pet animals too? Like sorry, your dog will do it too. Hell, ever heard of the the Donner Party? Humans aren’t exempt. When faced with survival, you try and survive.
STOP DEMONIZING CATS FOR BEING ANIMALS.
(And I mean, all it takes is a quick google search to figure this out, but no lets spread misinformation about innocent animals?)
If you actually truly believe cats are out to get you, and are cold and not affectionate, or whatever else people use to justify demonizing cats… You need to actually look up cat behavior. Your cat who ‘ignores’ you? More often than not is just respecting your space. Your cat who lashes out? Probably not feeling safe in their environment. Your cat brings you gross things? Trying to look after you.
Cats aren’t dogs. They have a set way of communication, and while they can learn dofferent expressions of affection, it will always be less evident than with dogs (who are particularily malleable to human behavior.) This doesn’t mean they are any less loving or capable of bonds.
All it takes is a quick google search to figure out why your cat does what they do. And literally, no cat intrinsically wants to eat babies.
are you kidding me, cats are super protective of small children. they’ve been known to attack dogs, snakes, alligators and grown-ass men if they thought a child was in danger. a stray cat in russia saved an abandoned baby from hypothermia by cuddling him, alerted people to his presence and tried following the freaking ambulance that took him to the hospital. they are very sweet and patient with babies and there are tons of adorable videos out there to prove it.
IF I EVER HEAR ANYONE TALKING SHIT ABOUT KITTIES I SWEAR
“cats are not dogs”
And there’s the rub. People have issues with cats because they’re mad they don’t act like dogs. They are a different animal and they relate and communicate differently. That doesn’t make them worse pets or evil or something.

Cats are good and pure creatures, dammit
when I was 6 months old, in one of those baby-jail play pens in the living room, our cat, Diamond, who was a generally very calm and gentle cat especially around me, kept hissing and batting under the couch. The couch that was like 2 feet away from me.
Mom was in the kitchen, and wasn’t watching me at the time bc I was in the playpen. Turns out, Diamond had found a blonde scorpion (the most venomous kind) and was putting herself between it and me. Mom came to see why she was hissing and saw her get it from under the couch and then kill it!
She had been stung but cats are pretty resilient so tho she was in pain, she was ok. Cats are amazing and very protective of babies.
Or they need a girlfriend that doesn’t mind listening and trying to help them work through their shit and defeat their fucking demons without asking them to pour out their soul to a stranger who is only listening because it’s their job. That’s the kind of shit you do for the people you love.
your partner is not your therapist. listening to your partner is one thing, but it is not their responsibility to help you work through your shit. that is on you.
one more time.
your partner is not your therapist.
also if I may hop onto this, I REALLY hate when people try to spin “therapists only listen because it’s their job” as a BAD thing. can you imagine if we tried to apply that to literally any other profession?
“why take your phone into the store to get it fixed? they don’t care about you, they’re only doing their job.”
“I don’t want to order a pizza. they’re not making it for me out of the goodness of their hearts, they’re only doing it because it’s their job.”
“why didn’t you just have your girlfriend do that surgery instead of going to a stranger who only saved your life because it’s their job?”
it’s their job because they are better equipped to do it than the other people in your life. jesus christ.
also, if I may add: it’s not the therapist’s job to love you.
a lot – A LOT – of people conflate emotional vulnerability with love. they think that being open about your problems is something you only do with friends and family. so paying someone to be open with sounds wrong because it’s like paying someone to be your girlfriend or your mom.
but that’s fundamentally misunderstanding the point of a therapist.
the therapist’s job is to identify issues and help you develop methods to cope with them. that’s it. being open is necessary, not because they need to love you, but because you need to be honest if you want them to be able to accurately figure out what’s wrong.
you don’t need to be in love with your doctor to tell them that you are having heart problems or unexplained pain. your lawyer doesn’t need to be part of your family for you to tell them your legal issues. it’s the same with your therapist – their job is to help, not to love.

My fiance got me to the point of working with a therapist. He didn’t fix me. He came in knowing I was a broken. He signed up for this. And he helped me get to the appointments that got me stable. But the thing is, getting him helped but it wasn’t the SOLUTION. The solution was proper medication and therapy.
A romantic partner can’t fix you. They can help but they can’t fix it because it’s not their job, they’re not trained for it.
