When someone tells you that you're too old to watch a kids show.
This. So Fucking Much.
English teachers put way more thought into books than the actual authors did.
Teacher: Oh look, there is a raven mentioned. THIS MUST SYMBOLISE DEATH AND HER DESIRE TO FLY AWAY FROM HER LIFE, WHICH IS A FOREBODING FOR HER LATER LEAVING HER VILLAGE!
Author: actually lol i just like birds

i agree
I disagree with this. Speaking as someone who writes as a hobby, there’s a reason why authors put certain things into their stories beyond the fact that they ~like~ them. They may use them as symbols or metaphors for abstract concepts like, as the OP points out, ”DEATH” or someone’s “DESIRE TO FLY AWAY FROM [THEIR] LIVES.”
Obviously, the author’s not going to say what these things actually symbolize because doing so would mean that they’re admitting failure. They’re actually expecting you, the reader, to look beyond the surface and find the meanings out for yourselves. That’s what makes good and compelling literature.
Potterwatch #1
Fred Weasley and George Weasley
I CAN EVEN TELL THEM APART BY THEIR VOICES <3Fred Weasley and George Weasley- Potterwatch
For those who don’t know:
Potterwatch was a pirate radio program for those who rebelled against Lord Voldemort and supported Harry Potter during the Second Wizarding War.
Potterwatch supplied information to the wizarding community about recent events that were not reported by theWizarding Wireless Network or the Daily Prophet, both of which had fallen under the influence of the Voldemort-controlled Ministry of Magic. The show attempted to boost the morale of the allies involved in the anti-Voldemort movement by broadcasting supportive messages to Harry Potter and everyone else resisting the Death Eaters.

Memo to all girls who call other girls sluts.
Your ignorance is showing.
Also, and you should probably clutch your pearls now, women have sexual needs, just like men. Scandalous!
Women are allowed to have healthy, safe sex with whomever they choose. It is none of your fucking business. As long as it’s consensual and safe, there is NOTHING wrong with it. Yes, women can have multiple sexual partners and enjoy the hell out of it.
Also, sex does not equal love. Women can enjoy sex without love being part of the equation. As the wise Squee-Gee said, sometimes you just gotta get laid.
So. Call me and other women sluts all you want. Guess what. We don’t give a fuck, and we’re gonna keep getting it on, so you can all go shave your backs now.
Cute Japanese bus stops look like fruits and vegetables
Reblogged from chickenshit:
Bus stops don’t have to be boring! In the Japanese town of Konagai, part of Isahaya City in Nagasaki Prefecture, along the road you’ll find some juicy bus stops, built in the shape of strawberries, melons, watermelons, oranges and tomatoes. There are a total of 16 stops that look like this:

Why don’t I live here…
Listen
Mumford & Sons
The Cave - Mumford & Sons
So make your siren’s call
And sing all you want
I will not hear what you have to say
Cause I need freedom now
And I need to know how
To live my life as it’s meant to be
I'm watching Kim Possible instead of writing a five-page poetry paper that is due tomorrow

-how I laughed
-if I laughed

-what type of car I drive
-what type of shoes I wore
-if I wore tights
-how many sexual partners I have had
-my sexual orientation
-the age I lost my virginity
-if I was wearing perfume
-the color of my hair
-if I said “no”
-when I said “no”
-how I said “no”
-how many times I said “no”
-why it was in my bed
-why I had no bruises
-why his number was programmed in my phone

-why I didn’t stop him
After he raped me, he had to explain:
…
nothing. because they never asked him.
“Rape culture” is living a society where rape is defined by the circumstances rather than the action.
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?
So apparently, Hollywood is planning to remake the anime movie, ‘Akira.’
But instead of casting Asian actors, Warner Bros. is only looking at white actors like ROBERT PATTINSON and MICHAEL FASSBENDER for the lead roles.
Ugh. This is like ‘The Last Airbender’ all over again.
Fuck you, Hollywood.
