Lastly, waging war against good people is bad for the soul. This may not seem important to you now, but it’s the most important thing I’ve said.

Family gathering? Carry a sword.

All your old relatives that you don’t even know will ask about the sword instead of asking if you have a boyfriend/girlfriend or asking about college. You can literally and metaphorically deflect annoying questions with the sword.

So we know that normally trainers start at age 10 in Pokemon.

I was 8 years old when I started leafgreen and emerald.

augur-of-ebrietas:

please kill this idea that just because a female character is not physically strong and does not physically fight that her very existence is, by default, a sexist portrayal of women in media.

the “damsel in distress” trope is only harmful when that aspect of the character is all there is to the character. if the writers give attention to her backstory, her feelings, her struggles, and her development, then she’s not a faceless prop just being used for male empowerment. she’s a person. a person who happens to not fight.

there’s nothing wrong with that. and to push this notion that this is somehow bad and wrong and that women should never need saving, even in war and crime fiction, is ludicrous. it swings the pendulum too far in the other direction and creates the problem of only showcasing women who are physically fit, or butch, or masculine.

people come in all shapes, sizes, temperaments, and ideologies. stop worrying about stupid tropes and focus that energy on questioning whether or not a character is actually well-written and cared for by the author instead.

you know tumblrs not an a+ community when you hesitate to post your own opinions on your own personal blog

maybe if ur hesitating to post things because you don’t want people to get mad at your opinions, you have shitty opinions and u know it

that is literally an example of op’s point

It’s a touch annoying when the power goes out in the middle of the night. Will my alarm go off, will my phone charge, why did this even happen…
But the absolute silence is incredible. All the white noise you’re accustomed to just vanishes and its absence lightly presses against your thoughts. You’re aware something is different, if even subtly.
And then you get to hear happy nature night noises that don’t care at all that your night noises are gone. They’re the only night noises.

I like it and I wish our power grid wasn’t so reliable.
