I Have This Headcanon That Hobbits Are Like Brazilians: You Cant Visit Their House And Leave Without

a lot of stories treat romance like it makes the relationship between two characters self explanatory and to be honest it doesn’t

Idk I tried doing something psychological horror. And I might try and make a digital version of this because honestly, I kind of like it.

can people please stop filming the entire fucking world around them for public consumption? and especially random fucking strangers who you did not ask???

I work at a park and man the front desk. and I'm photographed and filmed a lot. I'm talking easily 20+ times per day. most of the times, it's parents filming me swearing in their kids as junior rangers. which. they're intending to film their kids. what they get is me and the back of their kids' heads.

there's this recurring problem that like. people forget we're real people? like yeah you're filming your kid, but you're filming me interacting with your kid. I could count the amount of times someone has asked me permission to do this in the past year on one hand. and sometimes that's after they already start filming.

Like, I'm not an actor. I did not agree to this. You could be a dick and make the argument that I'm a public figure, but I'm not. This is not a persona and my uniform is not a costume. I'm a person trying to do my job and help people and teach them about science and history. And you know what makes it harder to do that? The knowledge that anything I say or do could end up shared with thousands of people. The fact that if I fuck up the wording of this kid's junior ranger pledge, or I sneeze, or make some basic mistake, it's not just a funny or embarrassing moment for me and this one family. It could end up on tiktok.

And okay, those are the people intending to film their own kids and not thinking or caring about the collateral. What's worse is the people who film everything. A few times a week some guy walks into the visitor center, phone already horizontal in front of their face, narrating what they're doing and seeing. They come up to the desk and ask me questions, phone in my face. They take wide establishing shots of the visitor center and every visitor in it. None of us agreed to this! None of these people consented to be in your youtube video! We are not the fucking set dressing of whatever travel instagram story you're making!

I don't know where I'm going with this. This is really only the tip of the iceberg. Sometimes people ask us to repeat what we just did - swear in their kid, or explain a detail, or hand them a fucking map - so they can get a second take, and they're already filming so if we say no we look like the asshole. Sometimes we're asked innocuous things like to point out a landmark, and next week there's a photo of us in the 15,000 member Rangers Pointing at Things facebook group (yep, real thing). One time my entire 45 minute evening program was filmed without my permission and I was informed after the fact. This happens all the time, and I'm giving park ranger examples, but this happens to so many people in service work or public positions every single fucking day.

I guess just, next time you go to film in a public space, take a second. Think about who you're about to film, if they agreed to that, what might happen if a video of them went viral. there's a reason I'm not out as trans at work. And then, maybe. don't. or at least fucking ask.

thankyu. sometimes I dont have wings at all and manage to fly out of my hate filled heart and spite

Dragons with wings that are way too small for your chunky bodies but you manage to fly anyways, know that I love you and cherish you and hold you ever so close to my heart

union cut off my insurance so until may 1st im not gonna have some of my antidepressants :(((( what da hell!!!

I love my friends so dearly! I love my partners so dearly! I love feeling alterhuman community connection so dearly! I even forgot I wanted to die yesterday, life's so beautiful again all of a sudden.

i'm so happy my friends want to pack up/ flight up i dunno what to call it since we are all dragons but also other things, we've always been a pack but it was a unspoken truth yk, now we're making it official ^^

it's so weird how much you can connect to people so far away from you for YEARS and never actually meet them in person yet hold them so dearly to your heart, yet at the same time the ones closest to you physically fail to try and connect with you or you fail connecting to them.

I love my packmates very much I hope we live on a little hut in the middle of nowhere hunting for out food and planting and doing evil sorcery and killing millionaires from affar with the evil magic. We bring our partners too and teach them evil dragon sorcery and they also kill billionaires.

And eventually we die and go back to earth and we are reborn as lil isopods that live on a little hole in the ground doing evil draconic sorcery and murder more billionaires.

imagine if animals were otherkin like,,, reverse therians,,, humankin

Here it is, I had posted it here but I felt too cringe but i'll embrace it now.

I'm feeling the joy over little things, I made my first ever edit, it's still not done yet but like like like. Kin euphoria of sorts and I feel like I just made a childhood "need" get met.

I am edgy emo and cool (cringe) edit maker like I always wanted to. Little me would have his mind blown over this 33 second clips mashed together with hard rock as background music.

also the no history thing just is blatantly untrue

there was a trans Zapatista general who would threaten to shoot anyone who didn’t refer to him as male.

this is him, Amelio Robles Ávila, recognized as male by friends, family, and the Mexican government. he was male not out of safety, but out of a strong desire to be male.
