I have honestly never seen a fandom nope at a death harder than kingsman like harry hart straight up got shot in the face but everyone just kinda was like nah he’s fine and continued to make fics and fanart and we just noped so hard the writers were like fuck it and brought him back somehow. True strength is measured by how deep in denial you are

Yesterday my dad told me something that I think maybe more people need to hear.
You’re allowed to just do things for fun.
He told me that in this modern society, especially the United States, we seem to have this attitude that we shouldn’t do something unless we’re aiming to be the best at it. If we can’t sing like Beyonce or Frank Sinatra or something there’s no point to singing. If we can’t make the next big breakthrough there’s no point in looking into mechanics and engineering.
But, he tells me, it took him a long time to figure out that life doesn’t have to be a race. If you want to take up the piano when you’re a teenager or later you’re not going to master it. You’re not going to be able to play to huge concert halls, but that also shouldn’t stop you. You can study a language out of curiosity and then drop the ball if you want. You can just get okay at something or even be terrible at it. You can drop it for days or years and then pick it up again and it doesn’t have to be a shameful thing.
I’m really glad he told me that because today I opened my sketchpad for the first time in months and just started drawing. And it looks terrible. But I don’t care. I don’t have the talent or patience or spacial awareness to get anywhere near good at drawing, but it’s fun. It helps me focus my mind and nobody has to see it.
And because of what he told me, I’m thinking maybe someday soon I will take up the bass guitar. And I won’t worry about how well I do, or how fast I learn, or that I haven’t played an instrument since sixth grade, or that I don’t have that much time to practice. I’m just gonna enjoy the experience. Maybe I’ll try swing dancing again and take a class because I’m not the best dancer but damn if it isn’t fun.
Yeah, you don’t have to be good at things. It’s not a requirement. Maybe that seems obvious but it had never occurred to me before. You’re allowed to just enjoy what you’re doing. For me, that feels like a life changing revelation. I don’t have to be good at something to like it. I don’t have to put 100% effort into everything I do. It’s kind of amazing.
Can you explain that post about the Belle doll collections I don't get it
In case you guys don’t have Twitter.
IF YOU SUPPORT THE PAUL BROTHERS FUCK OFF AND UNFOLLOW ME RIGHT NOW. IF YOU DEFEND THIS I WILL REPORT AND BLOCK YOU BECAUSE THIS SHIT IS NOT OKAY.
I myself haven’t yet gone to look for this video because my watch will be a view he doesn’t deserve. Please don’t go searching for this STILL MONETISED video if you are sensitive or if seeing a dead body makes you feel ill.
This is appalling that someone like this can do this and I honestly don’t have the words for it.
