in theory its super bad when straight dudes go “hey ur a lesbian? we both like girls we’re the same!” but in reality this has happened twice and most recently was today when a guy i was training in the frame shop went “oh you’re gay?” “yea” “that’s cool. it’s cool that you told me. we both like girls and star wars so it’s nice that we have a shift together :)” like god damn it brett you’re so respectful and thoughtful with your goddamned words
the posts that are like “straight men can never love a woman like a lesbian” are cool jokes and stuff but u gotta really appreciate dudes who have no idea what its like to be gay but try their best to try and relate. “we both like hot ladies” you know what, ryan? that’s close enough. i appreciate that.

And please note that there are no specific pronouns. Consent is ALWAYS required from ALL individuals, regardless of gender, sex, relationship, et cetera.
Idc if this doesnt match my theme
Consent is so important to know about!!
I know I avoid any sexual content on this blog but this is insanely important.
This post is important and the pillow comment is funny
CONSENT!!!!!!
Being in a relationship is also not automatic consent. You are not being a bad partner for saying no.
Marvel really made a huge mistake with not making a Black Widow movie sooner. If they had just made it back when the fans wanted, in 2013, it probably would’ve made a decent amount of money and been really popular on here for awhile
But now they’ve waited too long and the fans have noticed all the problematic aspects of how Black Widow is written, along with how shitty a person Scarlet Johansen is, that people don’t give a shit that she finally does have a movie coming out
Chances are now that it’s gonna flop and all the movie executives are going to smoke their giant cigars in their big offices and say “Well, looks like big budget movies with female leads don’t sell, just like we thought, let’s never try to make a big budget female led movie ever again” and pat themselves on the back for their ingenuity when it’s their own damn fault (Along with Scarjo being a shitty person)
They need to recast the role
Thing is…
…they could.
Think about it: BW is a spy, whose face is now plastered all over the media. Her espionage career–arguably her major contribution to the team–is over. So now she has to either:
Get plastic surgery, or (my favorite)
Utilize a series of elaborate disguises for each scene. We never see OG Widow again, instead seeing her portrayed by Lucy Liu, Halle Berry (in a white wig, of course), Gal Gadot, Rosario Dawson (for a fun Daredevil crossover mix up), and Judi Dench.
We leave the theatre wondering if we’ve ever seen the real Natasha Romanov.
there’s a portrait of cedric diggory in the hufflepuff common room.
nobody knows who painted it. the other houses speculate, but the hufflepuffs know not to ask, because that’s not really what’s important.
it’s one of the moving ones, of course. sometimes cedric isn’t in it – it’s said that the portrait has a twin, over amos diggory’s fireplace, and cedric always loved his father. but he’s there enough, smiling down at the hufflepuffs who congregate in the common room, watching them as they go about their lives.
the portrait is by the door, next to one of the overstuffed yellow chairs. students sit there to talk to cedric, with some modicum of privacy. at first, it was his friends, the people who knew him and miss him and love him. but as time went on it became those who knew him by reputation. kids seeking advice, help with homework. someone to talk to, on a long and cold night. gradually, he became a legend, spoke in hushed whispers to the first-years as they came in. if you’re ever in trouble, talk to cedric. he’ll always help you.
after the battle of hogwarts, when the furniture was mended and the new students hesitantly made their way in, there was another portrait next to it, of hufflepuff’s favoured daughter. tonks, known by one name only, blew painted bubbles from her world of acrylic and canvas. while students came to cedric for help and advice, they came to tonks to ask questions. she would tell the most wicked stories, and some of them were even true. when someone needed cheering up, when they were wanting to brainstorm their next epic prank, they went to tonks.
she wasn’t always there, either. another portrait above a cot, where a baby with shocking blue hair could look at it and laugh. but when she was, she was always happy to have people come to her. when they did, it felt like she wasn’t just paint and canvas. she felt alive.
hufflepuffs look after their own, you see. dead or alive.
