Seriously Dude?

We spend years learning about the Constitution and its finer details ,which ,naturally,is condered an important aspect of a well-rounded education. This is to create a sense of idealism in the impressionable minds of young students.But as we grow older we realise you don't get justice unless you are 'important'.How does the case of a woman who has been raped,whose dignity has been violated and self-respect shattered drag on and on for fifty years?!?Does our our so-called justice system expect the victim to arrive at court with her grandchildren to punish a sexual predator who has probably committed the same crime 20 times over due to lack of immediate action and punishment.This is in contrast to politicians and journalists whose cases are so highly publicised that they have to be taken up on a 'high -priority basis'. We are taught that everyone is equal before the law.But does this social equality really exist?I am not questioning the Constitution or any of its ideals but its excellence is rendered invalid when those who really need these institutions consider equality itself a luxury.

Short comic, while I work on something bigger on the side. It is nevertheless a very important topic. A lot of seabirds die because they eat plastic. They feed their chicks with the waste. It’s really tragic.

Eragon: sometimes I feel like I don’t fit in anywhere.

Saphira: what do you mean?

Saphira: you fit right into my arms.

Eragon: *ugly sobs and hugs Saphira*

The Inheritance Cycle headcanons: Christmas.

• Eragon LOVES Christmas and as soon as December starts, he gets into the cheerful and happy mood of the season. He loves sending meaningful letters and small gifts to his friends. He usually gets a bit nostalgic and sad around Christmas, because being far away from Alagaesia makes him miss his childhood traditions and his friends. He misses Arya the most, but the two of them always see and tenderly talk to each other on Christmas’ Eve.

• every year on Christmas’ Eve, Eragon, Saphira, Glaedr, the Eldunarí and the other young Riders with their dragons spend the night around a big fire watching the stars and sharing stories about the Ancient world.

• Elves are known for not celebrating Christmas, but over the years they have started to change their traditions and shift more into the Christmas spirit. Arya was the first queen who introduced the concept of “Christmas” in the Du Wendelvarden, mainly because of how much Eragon liked it. The Elves were initially skeptical about it, but eventually gave up and got so much into the Christmas spirit that they held the best celebrations. Their favourite tradition was decorating the Menoa Tree (and the whole forest) as Christmas trees, and sometimes they even decorated Fírnen.

• one day on Christmas’ Eve, Murtagh secretly sent Nasuada a message and the two reunited after many years in a plain near Ilirea. They didn’t have a long time to talk, but they were very happy to see each other. This was also the reason why Nasuada kept a joyful and grateful attitude over the season.

• Angela and Solembum usually spend Christmas’ Eve with the Urgals, and the Christmas day itself with Nasuada.

• Murtagh and Thorn once sent Eragon and Saphira a short but affectionate letter wishing them a merry Christmas. It’s useless to say how surprised and happy Eragon and Saphira were.

• Elva used to hate Christmas, but she secretly spends Christmas’ Eve walking in villages and using her powers to make common people happy and to heal them from their fears.

• it may not look like it, but the Urgals are the most devoted to Christmas and they celebrate it by decorating all of their houses and villages.

• to celebrate Christmas properly, Orik helds the biggest event of the year in the capital. All dwarves gather from every corner of the Beor Mountains to join these celebrations.

Roran: There are only three ways to do things: the right way, the wrong way, and the Roran way.

Nasuada: Isn’t that just the wrong way?

Roran: Yeah, but it’s faster.

Beyond Scrutiny

No, I am not confused and neither am I ashamed

My sexuality is my destiny and no one is to be 'blamed'

I go beyond labels of LGBTQ or straight

My love is my pride and not up for debate!

They whisper behind my back and mock me blatantly

Behind faux veils of progressiveness, they refuse to accept me

Why is my coming out met with downcast eyes and bitter despair?

How can embracing love create this ungodly air?

Over the years, patriarchy has been a worthy foe

It has tried to define me, often outrageously so

It seeps through the cracks, till it reaches your very soul

And shames you into being what society calls 'whole'

But why can't society realise that love goes beyond scrutiny

It is the embodiment of infinity and a long-awaited mutiny

So call me queer, call me strange

It is you, not me who has to change.

Ismira: why does mom wear make-up?

Roran: to look pretty.

Ismira: but she’s already pretty.

Roran: aww.

Ismira: dad, you should wear make-up.
