Good, I’ve got your attention. I’ve heard about this net neutrality bullshit returning. I fought it when it started popping up a few years ago, and I’m going to fight it again. Guys, it’s BACK AGAIN and even worse theres a big chance it will END UP PASSING!
This could literally mean a shit ton of you wont be able to see me anymore if your provider decides that they want to regulate/censor, sayyy overly sexual content. You’ll also have to pay extra money to even use Tumblr!
Please guys, we defeated this shit once, we can do it again. They’re trying to do it now while people are distracted by the holidays and fucking Justice League. As of today, it seems as though there have only been 266,810 calls made to Congress. This is NOT good enough!! MILLIONS of people use the net, and if each one of them took 60 seconds to call and protect it, holy balls do you KNOW how much of a difference that would make??? But noooo, you’re busy streaming an ecchi anime that wont be available to you soon!!!!!
Heres a direct link to make a difference (theres also links to other sites of the same nature on here), and yes, YOU can make a fucking difference because this is YOUR internet at stake here. If you’re not going to make the call, share this and maybe SOMEONE fucking will!! This is important as shit and we cant afford to lose. Dec 14th is the deadline.
it’s funny how “kid’s” cartoons these days are about things like depression, anxiety, racism, the apocalypse, LGBT+ relationships and people, connecting and communicating better with those around you, and learning to understand and accept what makes you you
while “adult” cartoons are about gross hotdog food orgies
This is a difficult time for all of us and we all have different methods of coping. For me, reading fanfiction has helped me stay positive. I really can’t thank all of the authors in this fandom enough. Here’s a list of some fics that I’ve read and re-read recently along with a list of a few “fix-it fics” for 3x7.
Clarke and Lexa have a one night stand…and then another… and another. Until they just leaves clothes at each other’s place. (Make sure you read part 1)
Clexa college!AU: in which Clarke grows tired of hearing Octavia and Lincoln’s escapades in the next room, so Lincoln offers her his apartment for study. He fails to mention his heavily tattooed hockey player roommate in the process.
“The locals aren’t fans of college kids. This is their neighborhood bar. They can get…territorial.”
Clarke studies the girl who stopped the fight before it began. Leaning back in her chair in the back of the bar, she’s all dark hair and dark eyeliner and dark alcohol. Clarke can see what he’s saying: the glare etched into her face is a clear warning for anyone who might step forward to her.
But the vodka has thinned Clarke’s blood; she’s always been brazen and right now she can’t take that warning as anything less than a challenge.
She grabs Octavia’s wrist and pulls her forward. “C’mon.”
Knowing that rooster teeth always planned to kill off Pyrrha like this just makes all the time they wasted focusing on Jaune all the more irritating tbh.
Like, who is Pyrrha to Nora and Ren? What kind of relationship did she have with them? What did they talk about when they hung out, what did they have in common, or disagree on? Did she get along better with Nora then Ren, or vice versa? We don’t know. We don’t know because Pyrrha never has a single scene of just interacting with her teammates who aren’t named Jaune Arc.
Instead of wasting screentime on Jaune being bullied or Jaune ignoring Weiss’ consent, they should have fleshed out Pyrrha over the last two volumes. Shown us how she got along with everyone, not just her other two teammates, but also Ruby! Ruby is the one who is there to witness her death, whose emotional reaction to it triggers her hidden power. Pyrrha’s relationship with Ruby should have been very fleshed out to give that moment maximum impact.
What kind of relationship did Pyrrha and Ruby have? What did Ruby think of her? They were friends, i guess? They seemed to get along ok when their teams hung out? We don’t have a single scene of the two of them interacting one on one, just talking, something that really would have helped us feel for Ruby when she watched Pyrrha die.
Make Pyrrha a really developed character, Instead of basically a prop for Jaune. Even in her death, of her team, only Jaune’s sadness is shown. We don’t see Nora or Ren grieve. We don’t see how they feel about this besides being willing to journey with Ruby and Jaune to get some answers.
In the end, when Jaune is Pyrrha’s only fleshed out relationship, it feels like she was just a prop for Jaune’s hero journey. Even if they always planned to kill her they could have set it up and done it in a way that doesn’t feel like the writers are just setting up for yet another Jaune story arc (this time with manpain!) in volume 4.
