Anxiety Gif Master Post

Hi!  I keep these on my computer and I wanted to make this post for someone…  Feel free to add sources - I don’t have them :) 

Breathe in and out with this box

Follow the brush with your eyes (again) 

hikarunohana That first gif was the one I was talking about last time.

Also, in general, watching a cat sleep/breathe while sleeping is so relaxing. I do this with the cats I catsit. :3

I remember during puberty talk in 6th grade they handed out permission slips for parents to sign if they didn’t want their kids getting sex ed and like five students ended up having to wait in the library while the rest of us learned about puberty and health stuff.

Afterwards during lunch recess almost everyone in class spent our time telling those five kids what we learned and showing them our handouts.

Parents: No way am I letting my 11 year old learn how their body is gonna change in the next few years

All the other 11 year olds: Hey man heres a diagram of a uterus

The Funniest Possible Star War: an AU where the Kaminoans get wise just a LITTLE earlier.

Like. Instead of waiting until the inhibitor chips are activated and the Empire is already ascendant to realize that the Galactic Empire absolutely will not allow there to be a planet that mass-produces clone armies for the highest bidder, they have this realization BEFORE Order 66 goes out.

AU where the Kaminoan government looks at their position, looks at the likely fallout, and weighs their futures under a Galactic Empire to whom they are a threat that has outlived its usefulness VS a grateful but still slow-moving Republic, with all its factions and legalities intact, its social mores primarily unchanged….its army filled with thinking, feeling men to whom Kamino is their homeworld and who are in control of their free will and thus capable of refusing orders that strike at their own hearts…its main enemy in the form of the Separatist Alliance neutralized but not utterly annihilated, ripe for both sides being played against the middle…

And quietly, about six weeks before Knightfall, without telling anyone, just…..deactivates the chips. Sends out a pulse via comm channel designed to fry or alter them. Remote killswitch. Something like that.

So Palpatine like. He’s WON. He’s TRIUMPHANT. He kills the Jedi strike team, gets Anakin to kill Mace Windu, names his new apprentice Vader, has him swear allegiance, sends him to wipe out the Jedi, goes all “COMMANDER CODEEEE”

“exEcUtE oRDeR SIxtY sIx”

and

nothing

happens.

Cody politely asks for clarification because that’s not a term in the GAR manual, sir, apologies. Long pause. Cody equally politely apologizes and explains that he’s in a pitched battle, sir, but I’m sure the General will contact you when we’ve taken the planet.

[Palpatine voice] “Hwat.”

He hits the next button on his carefully-curated Order 66 contact booklet for the high-priority targets he wants taken out before the general transmission so they don’t get any warning. He sits impatiently through the tinkly elevator music.

“COMMANDER REX EXECUTE ORDER 66″

Rex blinks, explains he’s not familiar with that code, sir, but Rex is a little less polite than Cody due to long-term exposure to Anakin Skywalker, and has the presence of mind to also point out that the Supreme Chancellor isn’t even technically IN the GAR chain of command, he’s a CIVILIAN leader, what’s going on–

Palpatine hangs up on him.

Okay, fine, whatever. Annoying but not unsurpassable, those two were ALWAYS an irritant, their clone commanders must have done something to the chips, it WAS a clone from Skywalker’s battalion who nearly discovered them after all. He’ll take out the rest of the Council and the all-call general transmission will take out the rest of the Order, he can deal with the treacherous 501-B and 212th later–

Shaak Ti’s clone commander asks in abject bewilderment how the Supreme Chancellor even got his personal comm number. He’s not even on duty. It’s 3am. Half the Council’s clones don’t even respond. Those that do just promise to have their Jedi call back about this Order 66 thing when they’re available.

He sends the general transmission with significantly less gravitas than originally planned.

He immediately starts getting confused email notifications. Unduli sends a TEXT from some random rank-and-file clone’s comms politely reminding him that she was present for the most recent strategy meeting and there was no operation codenamed Order 66, and reminds him coolly to respect the chain of command. Depa Billaba’s commander not only calls back but actually GETS HER ON COMMS to ask if she knows the term. They patch her padawan into the call to puzzle it out. The padawan asks Palpatine what happened to his face. He sits through three full minutes of playful banter before screaming and cutting the line.

Anakin gets downstairs to kick off Knightfall. The 501st blinks at their orders, exchange long looks, agree wholeheartedly, and stun him in the back the moment he turns around before dragging his ass to the Temple medical wing. 

The war ends twelve hours later.

Palpatine throws a chair through a window.

Sir? Sir this is a desert planet. Sir we are not anticipating any rain? Is this a drill?

Yes please!

How many times can I ❤️ this??

okay so I'm having a debate with my flatmates

are these all different things and if so what do you call them

Chat, is it considered “abusive roommate behavior” to release a raccoon into the living space after you have asked your roommate for months to please clean up their messes (they do not pay any of the mortgage)

For context, when I used to live alone I would do something called “Princess Time” where I would do an initial sweep (to remove any significant hazards) and then I would release a raccoon into the living area and clean. This helped because I would 1) feel like a princess and 2) the raccoon would bring attention to things my ADHD brain had decided to ignore and I’d quickly clean that stuff up.

So like, if I’m expected to clean the house now, I will be doing it in the way that is most effective for me. And anything that has not been cleaned up after months of having sit-down talks and sending reminders and being promised things will change, might be deemed “trash” by the trash panda and thrown away.

We haven’t done since we moved into the house, because I didn’t want to cause my roommate or their cats destress or have their things destroyed by a raccoon

I am a raccoon biologist and one of the few people in the state allowed to take in captive bred raccoons that had been possessed illegally. The raccoon in the photos is Moonshine, but she is currently at the animal sanctuary where I work as I had been quarantining multiple new intakes from an abuse case. I still have two males (Rum Tum Tugger and Electra) left in my home enclosure as we are getting them neutered and then hopefully sending them to an AZA accredited zoo.

I wanna make things very clear that underneath all the whimsy, I am a trained professional.

Quick what are you doing RIGHT now (besides scrolling Tumblr)

hot take possibly? but i actually think it’s okay for things to be marketed for adults. it’s literally okay if things aren’t suitable for children. i feel like we are losing the plot

if you’re 26 and older, reblog.

I remember when I was 26. The mastodon hunts were the highlight of my day, and we cheered whenever we made fire...

I need to remind people of something very important, okay? I need you to listen to what I have to say and read it through even if your instinctual reaction is uncomfortable.

Minors are not these pure little things you think of them as. Teenagers are going to have sex whether or not you're okay with it. Kids are going to find a way to do the stupid thing. It doesn't matter how tight of a leash you keep on them. It's not inherently the fault of the people they hang out with either.

I need you to recognize these things and provide safe outlets and accomodations for the minors in your life. If you're a parent, the sex talk is CRUCIAL, especially for consent. From a young age you should be having age appropriate discussions about consent. For a toddler it can be as simple as telling them it's okay to not want a hug and then respecting that boundary. By the time they're old enough to know what sex is, they should be able to have that conversation with a peer and explain to that peer what consent means so that they can have a level discussion.

You also need to provide things like condoms in the case that they become sexually active. Hell, you can just keep a box under the bathroom sink and check it periodically to make sure they're not expired or gone. If the teen doesn't use it for themselves, they'll give it to a friend to keep them safe.

For the stupid stuff, it doesn't matter the age, they're going to do stupid things. The 3 year old will eat the dirt, the 8 year old will skip out on the helmet, the 13 year old is gonna play a game you don't approve of, the older teen is going to partake in activities you don't want them doing. You can provide them safe outlets to prevent the more dangerous things. If they feel safe at home they'll feel comfortable telling you about the kid who tried to get them to vape. If they have access to a physical outlet they be able to express their emotions in a healthy physical way. This can be as simple as you bringing them to the high school or college track on the weekends so they can run, giving them the privacy to put on a stupid video with stupid music they can dance it out to without judgement, or even just inviting them to go on a short walk with you while dinner is cooking. Good outlets can reduce reckless behavior significantly. This is especially good for the teens that just got the legal ability to drive.

Also, one thing I cannot stress enough is to not revoke their access to the safe accommodations and outlets. I don't give a freezedried fuck how in trouble they may be with you or with the school or even the law. If they are legally allowed to access the places they use as outlets they need to be able to go. You can just take away possibly the only coping mechanism that works for them.

Please just give minors a chance to exist without your judgement or preconceived notions of how they're meant to exist. Not everyone is the same. Not everyone is going to be this perfect little angel. You have to work with what you have and accept them for who they are and how they are.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

Also, and while this is even less comfortable to talk about, abuse is, like… a thing that exists. And it’s something children aren’t going to tell you about if they think you'll be mad at them. Young kids who aren’t allowed to refuse hugs and affection from family members might think they'd be the ones in trouble if they tried to refuse or speak out against inappropriate and abusive contact, or possibly even internalise that they're bad for thinking it’s wrong. Children who were punished for looking up inappropriate material out of curiosity might be scared to tell their parents if someone coerced or pressured them into watching that content. Young teenagers who receive strict punishment for every mistake they make might feel that they’re at fault if they’re coerced into doing something unsafe or if they're seriously hurt while doing something unsafe and too guilty to tell their parents. Older teenagers who were yelled at for experimenting with their friends from school might think they’ll be the only one punished if they ever speak up about adults pressuring or forcing them into sexual situations. Without an open and supportive and accepting enviroment, children who are victims of abuse- be it sexual or otherwise, and from peers, family members, teachers, or any random person- are heavily discouraged from speaking up because they, quite reasonably, assume they’ll be punished and that they’re at fault for not somehow preventing it.

shit ton of people are repeating the thing about hayao miyazaki saying AI art is an "insult to life itself" and just as a reminder he was talking about the zombies that team made that were intended to be scary in how much they shook, but instead reminded him of his disabled friend. the insult to life itself was referring to the team trying to make scary real symptoms that people live with.

it was a quote about ableism. if he has said other things about AI type stuff, that is a different thing. but that specific quote was about ableism.

this is the full quote.

Not to start discourse but I will be forever mad that every time I go into the Goncharov tag I see people complaining that they watched the movie expecting a soft queer romcom about pure cinnamon rolls and instead they got a complex and violent film about deeply flawed people where everyone dies.

By all means, engage in fandom however you choose. But don’t blame the source material for not being consistent with some random fanon on tumblr. Kinda wild to get mad that the movie about violent, morally dark grey criminals has violence, crime and moral greyness in it. You know? Also, imho given the time this movie was made, the queer coding was daring; this is NOT an example of queerbaiting.

the woobification of ice pick joe is an absolute blight upon this fandom. also, to your last point – god i'm so fucking sick of younger queers calling properties from pre-2000 queerbaiting. how are you going to call a movie from 1973 queerbait when homosexuality was literally fucking illegal in the majority of states? if you're engaging in a historical period at least try to have a basic grasp of what you're talking about :/

#like i'm sorry but you're going to call goncharov queerbaiting?? you know how many states still criminalised homosexuality in 1973???#fuck off with that#queerbaiting implies an inherent malice by the creator. if your creator really earnestly wants queer people to be included#but isn't able to bc of censorship/studio pressure/fucking LEGALITY then it's not queerbaiting!#christ alive i can't with some people via @ebenelephant

Nothing but facts here. I am begging people to spend a few moments learning about the historical and cultural context in which the film existed.

And listen, to each their own; I'm not here to police the fandom. But oh my godddd the crimes being committed against Ice Pick Joe hurt me so much. I don't even go in that tag anymore because every time I do I just become the real life version of the 'look at how they massacred my boy meme.'

What do you mean he's a soft boi who loves gardening and did nothing wrong? He did everything wrong and that's great. He and his ice pick are out there living their worst lives and we love that for them. Also, you do get that the bowl of black roses on the table in the background of that one shot is a reference to the Sicilian mafia connection and also foreshadowing of his own fate? Right? Right???

It's not just to have a "do over" that doesn't involve the original cast, it's to cut them out of the royalties. Literally the entire point is to make sure all the money made by Harry Potter goes to transphobes or people willing to work with transphobes.

If you watch it, you are supporting bigotry, hate, and oppression. That's just objective reality. All for a story that you probably have already seen in movie and book form.

#the last point is especially true since the old cast receives royalties for anything with their likeness on it#meaning the original trio still gets money for every mug with their 14 year old faces on it#if they stop making those and replace them with the new cast which they will the old cast gets cut off completely#which is again exactly what rowling wants because she cannot stand those 'ungrateful brats' as she would likely put it#and as she has last say in anything that gets made in harry potter paraphernalia this might also explain the decrease in faces on products

I hate Rowling so much.

im going crazy you have GOT to decouple romance/amatonormativity and marriage in your mind. you have GOT to understand that marriage is a legal document that protects you from exploitation especially if you are a woman or a stay-at-home anything. it is not some evil unique to heterosexual people. it is a legal document that says 'this is who i want in my hospital room when i die, this is who i want to have my stuff when i die, THIS PERSON OWES ME RECOMPENSE IF THEY KICK ME OUT OF THE HOUSE I LIVE IN"

You are not immune to being taken advantage of by your partner if you are queer. do not wind up homeless because your garbage live-ins name is on the lease and they decided to drop you like hot coals.

Adding to this:

Remember the fight for same sex marriage was never “we feel left out”, it was “we’re sick and not allowed to see each other. We’re dying and not allowed at the funeral. Someone who kicked me out at 14 just showed up for the first time 24 years later to tell the doctor to pull the plug, and they did.”

Marriage is a legal documentation of rights. Fully agree with prev that those rights should be divested from the concept of monogamy entirely, but for now we have to at least understand what they are

has anyone figured out how much art you need to make to make your mental illness go away

so far it’s not seven

Idk how far this is gonna go but I want it shown for the record that the context of this post was me saying 'Stop calling 30-year-old men Old Man Yaoi, 30 isn't old'

look at this tiny tiny ancient depiction of a goose sheltering babies beneath her wings. 🥺

it's not very detailed but look at the postures of the animals. And the way the goslings are not very young but recognisable as gangly and halfway grown.

Greek, Late Archaic Period, about first half of 5th century B.C.

Ohh they’re lovely! It IS like that!
