having sex with your friends is so very normal please stop poisoning the youths minds with shame surrounding hooking up with your friends. especially if you’re gay
people are so fucking mad in the notes that adults have sex with each other and aren’t married sometimes. yall are carbon copies of your conservative parents and you’re so proud of it. ewwww

calling the sex I have with my friends “hookup culture” is insulting and incorrect. these are guys who take care of me and take me on dates and watch fun movies with me. being a disabled faggot too, they help me clean my place and take my trash out for me. they care for me and are on my emergency contact lists. trying to slap the label of “todays hookup culture!!!” on it is diminishing and devaluing those relationships
secondly, gay and bi men have been fucking all their friends and cruising and hooking up with total strangers since LLOOONGGGG before you were born and will continue doing so LLOOONGGG after you die. it’s never been a trend or a fad for us. It’s just a way of life for some of us and you aren’t going to change that by being disgusted by it
I will! Because I’ve spent a lot of time in the air and I’m very much alive and well. 🙂 It’s okay to be scared of things that you don’t fully understand, but airplanes are as safe as they are exciting and cool. I sometimes wish they were a little less safe so I didn’t have to deal with constant maintenance and worrying about NASA reports, but that’s just how aviation goes.
If you want to get over a fear of flying, I recommend checking out programs like SOAR— or even trying out a discovery flight at your local airport! Not… going into random pilots’ Tumblr inboxes to be unkind. The world is really beautiful from above.
i have a lot of feelings and thoughts about coelacanths today
like… they’re blue
you have this mysterious fish that no one really cared about, because everyone assumed they’d gone extinct with the dinosaurs. an interesting footnote, but one of many, many fossil species.
and later the coelacanth gets some fame as a so-called “missing link” species, a theory which is now outdated (and not accurate for coelacanths) but was really influential at the time. because they have some weird biological quirks – bones in fins! – people were like “oh, they must be a missing link.” so the coelacanth was launched into some fame with the theory of evolution. it got brought up a lot. drawn in old textbooks as proof.
and then a fisherman finds a weird fish off the coast of south africa and calls a local fish expert who had let it be known she was interested in weird finds, and he brings her the (unfortunately badly rotted) corpse and she’s like “well, this is sure weird,” and sends off the bones to other experts, who start to quietly freak out, and rush to south africa, and rewards are offered for another one, any other one, and a few years later one is caught and frozen before rotting.
and it’s this incredible discovery, this extinct creature come to life (the prehistoric coelacanth lived in swamps and marshes in south america; these now are deep ocean fish in and around the indian ocean, but it’s still recognizably the same species)!
but it’s also blue.
not like, muddy blue, or tumblr-default-background blue.
proper shimmering sapphire blue and white. almost turquoise in some lights. this like… muddy, fossil creature. always drawn in dinosaur browns and grays. and it’s alive and it’s blue. just imagine being the scientist who opened that crate to this creature for the first time. you’re already excited, you’ve known about this fish for decades, you thought it was a story, you know it’s in this box. you expect to see the weird fins and the strange tail. you know it’s large and odd looking. and you open it up and it’s this beautiful, shining blue, you know?
finally learning how i wanna draw again…. thinking i am gonna ditch lineart alltogether because i hate it 🙂 and i have always hated it so might as well stop fighting with it
a comparison bc this is sort of a redraw bc i was frustrated i couldnt draw navarre this good again since this first drawing LOL
If you ever want to make a post like this, you should actually: 1) not make that post 2) shut up.
I need you to know the following: It is SO GODDAMN tiring to hear, you’re not funny, or clever, you’ve not said anything new, and that comment is not fixing problems.
FURTHERMORE: there is an entrenched system in Texas to make sure the people in power STAY in power. There are many people in Texas (I’m one) that don’t like what’s going on here, but it’s an uphill battle.
