Like what you like, love what you love, and to hell with all the rest of it.
Who cares what other people think, live your life for you!
Here is the secret to fandom:
Give zero fucks about what anyone else is doing.
Seriously. I mean it. Because inevitably you will love something that no one else loves. Or you will love something that everyone loves and people will shit all over it because it’s “so trite and unimaginative and done.” Or you will love something that no one else has ever heard of. Or you will love something dark and edgy and or obscure and people will roll their eyes and say, “What, do you want people to think you’re dark and edgy and obscure?”
Alternatively, you will not love the thing that everyone else loves, and you will wonder what precisely is wrong with you that the sight of that thing is aggravating the shit out of you now when the whole world sings its praises as one.
People will irritate you. They’ll irritate you with headcanons that make no sense and misinterpretations of canon. They will make the same jokes 500 times. They will overwhelm your corner of fandom with something you either are tired of hearing about or don’t care about. They will post art that isn’t theirs. You will meet people who think you are the greatest person ever and bombard you with messages only to wander off when they find someone new or shinier; you will meet people whom you admire and who do not really seem to notice you exist.
So give zero fucks about it. Seriously. Like what you like, blacklist what you need to blacklist, and ignore everything else. Be friends, play nice, enjoy it. And in the meantime, just do you. Like what you like, love what you love, and to hell with all the rest of it.
Being a good person is a choice. Don’t let people fool you into believing that truly good people never have bad thoughts, are never tempted by the easier path, by the low road, never mess up or act out selfishly. Never believe a person can be good without making a conscious effort.
Every single time you do something good, you’ve made a decision to make the world a little brighter.
Goodness is not an inherent trait, it is a choice. Keep making it! I see you, I’m proud of you, and I’m rooting for you!
I just jerked out of my midday dissociation and realized that seed bombing a golf course with mint would be the ultimate crime.
Oh my god this is so evil.
I love it.

You know what? Happy Pride to everyone still in the closet.
To the people who don’t feel safe enough to come out to their friends or family or community or all three.
To those who feel like they can’t come out because they just feel confused about their gender or sexuality and don’t know how to come out when they don’t even know what label to use.
To the people who fear coming out publicly because it may put their job or career at risk.
To the people who haven’t come out because they don’t want anything to change about their relationships.
To the people who see Pride festivals and parades being advertised or talked about, who look up their local one with the understanding that they cannot attend. To those who feel distanced from Pride because you feel like you cannot partake in the celebration because only you know that it’s a celebration meant also for you.
Pride Month is for you, too. Be proud of yourself even if you can’t be out. Be proud of your journey of self-acceptance, even if you haven’t found acceptance outside of yourself just yet. There’s no rush. There’s no pressure, just because it’s pride month.
Pride Month is already for you.
Just a reminder because apparently people don’t realize this, but the rainbow gay pride flag isn’t like…a gay male pride flag? it was literally meant as a pride flag for everyone in the community. not that there’s anything wrong with specific identities having their own flag, but i keep seeing ppl post flag sets as if the rainbow ride flag only represents gay men and saying that not including every single other flag known in existence means you’re excluding people when no it’s not the rainbow flag is for everyone

So update your instagram story. Capture yourself. Freeze your existence in fifteen seconds of time. Look at that vine. Look at that vine. Look at those six and a half seconds preserved for all eternity, like a caveman in the ice.
Look! Behold! A moving time capsule so real you can almost feel it breathing. Hear a dead woman speak and watch you address yourself directly. See the living ghost of your past self and hold him tight, because if you play your cards right he’s not going anywhere.
Freeze! Freeze this moment in time! Record it. In a snapshot, a video, a voice. See a baby meeting a puppy. See a shooting. See history in the making and see someone loving their daughter. Capture your present to hold onto your past. Send it in waves of light through the air and send your moment away to anyone that would take it.
Capture a tiny fraction of an atom of the love in that moment and keep it for posterity. Hold close the image of a person you’ll never meet and know that this is reality, even if it’s the past.
We cannot travel to the past but we can preserve small pieces of the present that become pieces of the past and shout into the future. We are doing it every day. Valuing the human existence so much that we’ve decided to share every moment of it on a global scale.
We are archeologists of the present, time travelers of the past, the past of the future. We created time and made it slow and created to it a love letter in the form of a photo and pinned it on a website like the internet was the refrigerator of the world.
Jet Siquliak, resident aro-ace: Romantic and sexual attraction seem only to cause needless drama that would better be avoided.
Juno and Peter: *are Juno and Peter*
Jet: See what I mean.
