comprehensive list of things I’m allergic to: 

  • tumblr’s “your fav is problematic so I must VOW TO HATE THEM FROM NOW UNTIL ETERNITY” culture
  • tumblr’s "I am not even 1% problematic” culture 
  • tumblr’s “wow look the media is so biased and puts so much spin on everything and we are angels who don’t spin at all! we are beacons of unbiased knowledge!” culture 
  • tumblr’s “wow this person is so wrong so I MUST SEND THEM TWELVE THOUSAND ANONYMOUS MESSAGES TELLING THEM TO DELETE AND DIE” culture 
  • tumblr’s “THIS PERSON IS THE BEST PERSON EVER THEY ARE OUR QUEEN OUR KING OUR SAVIOR AND CAN DO NO WRONG” culture 
  • tumblr’s inability to see things in not black and white 
  • tumblr’s inability to recognize that people can change and grow–moreover, their inability to acknowledge change and growth as legitimate 
  • tumblr’s inability to perceive complexity 
  • sometimes I have seasonal allergies when the weather changes dramatically 

me @ my favorite female character: look at this knife-edged survivor, this dragon writhing among the stars. my terrible angel. she should be the god-empress of a universe with a fleet at her back.
me @ my favorite male character: somebody punch him in the nose
