#NeverAgain

I was born and raised in South Florida, but I have never been proud of that fact. Honestly, not many people outside of hip hop actually brag about being from Florida. Let’s face it, ‘Florida Man’ is a meme for a reason.

But these Parkland kids, these amazingly brave, smart, and incredible people make me so proud to be a South Floridian. For decades American students have been living with a normality that should never be considered “normal”. No child should ever think that an active shooter drill is just like a fire drill. No educator should ever have to plan to face an active shooter. The Parkland students have been outspoken since the day it all happened and they have not stopped using their voices. They have made changes in policy and will continue to do so. These kids, these young adults, are the future of this country and, for the first time in years, I think that the future is in good hands.

Right now, I’m sitting in an airport waiting to board a plane to Nicaragua, but if I wasn’t I would be out there marching with them. I hope those of you who can will. If you can’t march but have funds to donate, please give to Everytown.org

Honestly shoutout to The Social Network for giving us the line “you’re going to go through life thinking that girls don’t like you because you’re a nerd. And I want you to know, from the bottom of my heart, that that won’t be true. It’ll be because you’re an asshole” because if that doesn’t epitomize women’s feelings for entitled male nerds I don’t know what does

okay i have a loki question

how the fuck did odin sneak him into asgard?

like, heimdall saw that shit right? odin comes back through the bifrost and heimdall is just “…………….”

heimdall: that’s a baby

odin: yes! he’s my son! ………..loki. i’m going to dress him in green and black, because that worked great last time

or odin comes back and is trying to figure out, how to play it, and heimdall and frigga are just waiting for him and completely deadpan

frigga: ah, husband! you have returned from war in time to meet your newborn son. who i had. after being pregnant. secretly.

odin: what

frigga:

heimdall:

loki: *baby noises*

odin: right

honestly, i just need heimdall going up to frigga like “you won’t believe what your husband just did”

odin: he’s a replacement for the child I had to lock away in the shadow realm.

heimdall:

odin: I’ll do better by this one.  I know I will.

heimdall:

heimdall: You mean Frigga will.

Odin: Please can we keep it? It’s cute and changes colours and smiles at my empty eye socket. I promise I’ll take care of it I’ll feed it every week and I’ll dress it in green and black and I’ll teach it to throw knives and it will be great!

Heimdall: Frigga, he stole a baby. Say something.

THIS IS THE BEST THING

I like to imagine Frigga visiting Heimdall and they have tea and gossip about how much a mess Odin is.

Hiemdall: *plopping into Friggas parlour and already reaching for the cup Frigga is passing him* Lemme tell you what wild shit your sons are doing in Alfhiem

Hiemdall rollerblading into the throne room this week with sunglasses and a piña coloda: Your Majesty, you’re not going to fucking believe this stuff your son brought back from Midgard.

Frigga, iceskating down the bifrost with three bottles of tequila wearing a mini cape from a midgardian children’s dracula costume: Heimdall, my good bitch, I have news.

hey! i’m currently struggling with what could be called “art dysphoria”. I currently hate my art style. I have so much trouble finding what works for me. my art style not only is i speaking to me, but it is almost impossible to pose something anatomically correct. do you have any tips for finding a new art style?

tamehill:

well, i believe every artist out there has struggled (and still struggles) with the same issues as you, lovely person, so don’t worry that much about it. imo i think an art style is developed rather than ‘found’ if you know what i mean. 

i can understand why people want to find the thing that’s theirs and all, but that shouldn’t be the main reason for drawing. an art style is something people grow after they finally enjoy what they’re doing and only after they know art is something that makes them feel things. 

an art style is like a kid, right? like, your own child— your personal creation.
