This is a tumblelog, kinda like a blog but with short-form, mixed-media posts with stuff I like. Scroll down a bit to start reading, or a bit more to read more about me.
man with excellent self restraint dismayed to realize that not wanting anything is more likely a depression symptom than a carefully honed skill that atones for other aspects of his character
Over the Garden Wall – It’s being pulled from HBO Max on August 31 and knowing HBO, there’s a chance it’ll be pulled sooner. *I have now made a Google Drive of all the episodes of OTGW. Please, please, please, PLEASE, save these on a physical device.
The Owl House – Disney has tried to bury this show many times (giving it a weird release schedule, cutting the budget, etc) and has even cancelled the show. Also, Disney+ is going to nuke their catalogue soon and I doubt TOH will survive
Amphibia – I know less about the behind the scenes BS than TOH but Amphibia was screwed over by Disney mainly by poor promotion. Also since one of the protagonist is openly bisexual*, like TOH, I really can’t imagine this would survive.
Steven Universe – Cartoon Network cancelled Steven Universe and gave it a weird release schedule, it has also just been pulled from HBO Max.
Gravity Falls – Once again, Disney+ is going to nuke their catalogue at some point in the future and between Wendy being canonically bi, Sheriff Blubs and Deputy Durland being in a relationship, and Alex Hirsch (being the amazing man that he is) constantly calling Disney out on their BS, I imagine that Disney would be more than willing to nuke Gravity Falls.
and most importantly
Every single show, book, game, fanfiction, movie, etc you’ve ever loved
We now know that at any moment’s notice, streaming services can and will just nuke their catalogue without hesitation. If it’s digital, it can be removed and there’s a likely chance you’ll never see it again.
So, please take some time to save anything you love on an external device. It could be a box set (it can be official or fan-made one), a USB, or anything.
If you have a physical copy of something, it’s yours forever and no one can take that away from you.
*Edit because I’ve seen some confusion about this. Read this again, it’s “one of the protagonists” not “the protagonist.” Sasha is the one who’s bi, Anne’s sexuality hasn’t been confirmed.
Also in addition to this, people have reblogged this to say Steven Universe is still on HBO. Since I don’t have HBO, I’ve been going off of what people have been saying and I’ve seen it mentioned that HBO was taking off SU. You should still save it though.
When I use a knife casually because years of practice have made me comfortable and precise.
When she tries to move something heavy and I put my hand on her lower back to tell her to move aside and let me get it for her. When she watches me pick it up and throw it over my shoulder. When I use my free hand to lift her chin and kiss her gently.
When I drive and keep a hand on her thigh, just below her knee. Absentmindedly dancing my fingers along her inseam. When I trace idle patterns on the inside of her forearms at dinner. When I give her head light little scratches when she curls into my side with her head on my chest.
When she’s trying to determine whether I’m wearing the strap under my clothes and I catch her eye and give her a silent challenge. When she tries to run her hand up my leg to check and I catch her hand and tell her she’ll have to wait.
When I catch her staring at me while I shower, and I prop a leg up on the edge of the tub and tell her to kneel.
When I lift her head off the pillow with both hands just to tell her how good she’s doing. How proud of her I am for letting herself enjoy this without trying to finish before her body is ready. How she is perfect in every way and I want her to feel good. To let everything else outside this moment fade away. To just feel it.
hi everyone. does anybody else miss something they can never return to. anyone else being swallowed whole by grief. anyone else clinging to love as a life preserver
i feel like i’m constantly relearning to love the world again after very painful experiences and grief but sometimes it’s as simple as stepping outside and seeing a flower with a bright yellow centre and thinking “oh, how stunning!”
Part of accepting yourself completely is reframing your mind to make it about you, so that “will they like me?” turns into “will I like them?” and “did they like what I said?” turns into “did I say everything I wanted to say?” Everything you do should ultimately be brought on by what you think is important and by what you want. Not by what you think will be most accepted or most liked.
