“Koreans are all brainwashed so you can’t compare them to Americans.”

Half of America is so patriotic they believe all school shootings are false flags. There was a ridiculous piece of misinfo that was floated around by mainstream news outlets that the DPRK was forcing people to style their hair after Kim Jong-Un. This was a complete lie, tons of Americans believed it and still do and won’t even do the two seconds of research needed to figure out it’s a complete lie.

Americans are one of the most brainwashed peoples on Earth. They have had their consent engineered since their birth. Ya wanna test this?

1 - Refuse to say the pledge of allegiance.

2 - Say anything negative about the military.

3 - Question Capitalism in any way.

4 - Say that America isn’t the best country in the world.

5 - Make a critique of mainstream American culture.

Do any of these things amoung others and an army of jingoistic super-patriots will descend upon you like an angry avalanche of stupidity with the exact same copy paste arguements they’ve been taught to rehearse.

Yes, North Koreans (and many other totalitarian nations like Russia, China, UEA, and the like) are brainwashed, true. But they (the citizens there) don’t have any other option because they don’t have access to information.

Up till net neutrality is actually shut down Americans have access to information and many still stay willfully blind.

i always know when a fic writer has never experienced a hickey

How? It’s not like you’ve experienced one either.

“[Character A] licked and nibbled [Character B]’s collarbone, leaving dark purple spots along the way.”

either they’re tossing away the meaning of “nibbled” for the advancement of smut or they have a solid misunderstanding of hickeys. it takes like four or five straight seconds of hard suction to make a spot “dark purple”.

okay so two options here:

“[Character A] licked and nibbled [Character B]’s collarbone, leaving faint pink spots along the way.”

OR (and this one is better imo)

“[character A] sucked on the skin of [character B]’s collarbone harder than a vacuum on high power, leaving behind appropriately dark purple hickeys”

“[Character A] puckered their lips and absolutely Hoover™’d the life out of [Character B]’s entire neck. ‘You DirtDevil™’ [Character B] said with a breathy sigh.”

also the whole “on their neck, right above the pulse point”..

guys, that’s how people fucking die; you can cause an aneurysm by doing that - don’t make hickeys on important veins!

stop fucking leaving your partners just because they realize they are asexual and or aromantic in the middle of the relationship you fucking assholes

Except non aro/ace people usually require romantic affection and sexual satisfaction to sustain in a relationship, even if they love a person. Don’t condemn them for desiring physical advances and romance with their significant other. They deserve that kind of relationship just as much as an aro/ace deserves one without it. 

the word you’re looking for is “selfish”

Leaving a relationship you no longer feel comfortable in is not selfish. Telling people to stay in a relationship they no longer feel comfortable in because it would hurt your feelings if they left is selfish.

Hey, yeah I am one of those people who left a relationship when we both realized we were not going in the same direction.

He is asexual, and I was very much not.

Dont get me wrong. I still adore the dude, and he is my best friend to this day. But we were NOT going to work out in the long run.

I want a family at some point. I like sex. Being in a relationship like that made me feel very unwanted and unattractive. It got to me. It started to destory the relationship more and more. My self-esteem dropped to nothing while dating him. He tried his best, but he wasnt comfortable doing things that would help me feel better. I wasnt getting the attention I needed.

I was with him for 5 ½ years. He is my best friend. But this was not going to work.

Do not EVER make someone feel bad when they realize that the future they want, the affection they need is selfish. NEVER tell me that.

He deserves the relationship he wants as much as I do.

Today on tumblr: suffer through a relationship you don’t want to be in anymore

reasons I (a demisexual person) broke up with people (and was dumped that one time):

  1. age 14: sexual experimentation with her was fun but we didn’t actually have romantic feelings for one another (kinda more a mutual non-breakup)
  2. age 17 (first try I was manipulated out of) and again 19: he was emotionally manipulative and we didn’t have anything in common but good sex
  3. age 20: we fought, I got annoyed at him for the tiniest shit; he was an asshole to everyone but me; I felt undesired because he couldn’t get it up anymore even though I didn’t even actually feel like sex at the end
  4. age 25: he was an asshole
  5. age 28: he cheated on me but didn’t want sex with me; decided to leave me a note on our living room table calling it quits
  6. age 31: I moved from the states to Germany (also a very mutual break up; if I’m ever back in the states or he in Germany and we’re both available we’ll pick up where we left off because he made me like cuddling which I hated before)

not a reason any relationship failed: only sexual or romantic incompatibility

why? because if you care about a person in a way that makes you want a relationship, you can figure out ways to work in those boundaries. That is what a good relationship is. If you can’t or don’t want to figure ways out to work within the boundaries, you leave. Just like you switch toothpaste if you decide the taste isn’t to your liking or your dentist tells you to up the fluoride dose to keep healthy(ish). You do what’s best for you.


Side note: there are no “selfish” reasons for breakups because keeping healthy isn’t selfish, it’s mandatory. there are shitty ways though (see: note on the living room table instead of talking).


Advice: here’s a video by sexplanations

there’s also a complete playlist that has quite a few videos on how to deal with different sex drives and the likes

*looks at balloon touching ceiling*

Me: “… Where’d that come from? Why has no one gotten it down?”

Coworker: “no one has been tall enough to reach it or been able to jump high enough to get it”

Me: *balances desire for the Balloon versus perpetuating the black stereotype that I can jump really high"

But did you get the balloon?

Someone who’s black or supports black people and their human rights. it literally says that in the description. “You don’t have to be black, it just means you support us, you stand by us and you’re for us.” 

Why the fuck does this not have more notes wtf.

and here’s what brian’s up to now (after lee had to clarify everything on twitter and defend his existence and desire for privacy):

Fanfiction is just the best isn’t it? You can go read a 5k little dribble about your otp having a morning cuddle with a side of pancakes, and then go to a 100k full fucking space epic au that someone just wrote cause they wanted to. We have heartwretching fics, coffee shop au’s, westerns, modern fantasies, arranged marriages, medieval stories, I’m so grateful to fanfic writers for giving us stories (some better than published books) about our favorite characters to read on the daily for free.

Thank you <3
