[HUGE TRIGGER WARNING FOR SUICIDE]
This is absolutely terrifying. Just look at it, it is so real and astonishing. You need to reblog this. I don’t care if you’re used to reblogging orange, teenage girls with vans on. I don’t care if you’re used to reblogging vintage or photography. This is real. You can even see the fury in his eyes. The tense muscles in between his fingers. The heavy breathing.
some people will never realize how much certain words can hurt others. STOP CYBER BULLYING

I can’t think again. Not ever again. I don’t know if you’ve ever felt like that. That you wanted to sleep for a thousand years. Or just not exist. Or just not be aware that you do exist. Or something like that.

Women should not have to accept that they will be treated like objects if they are sexual. Every human being has the right to be sexual without being treated like shit.

Fluid Flowers by Jack Long
Captured in one single shot without the aid of CG or photoshop, Jack’s liquid drop flower vases thrive for a mere instant in time. A brief but brilliant bloom, if slightly messier than real flowers.

Feminist Frequency - Tropes vs. Women: #3 The Smurfette Principle (full video & transcript here)
I wish I had the link saved, but do any of you remember that study released that outlined the tendency for male audiences to perceive a cast of characters as “primarily female” when it is in reality perfectly balanced between male and female characters? Because, hey, that happened, and it certainly is quite related to this gif set.
“The concept of portraying evil and then destroying it - I know this is considered mainstream, but I think it is rotten. This idea that whenever something evil happens someone particular can be blamed and punished for it, in life and in politics, is hopeless.”
—Hayao Miyazaki
One of my very favourite recurring themes in Miyazaki’s work - especially in Spirited Away - is how the grotesque and initially threatening reveals itself to be benign and even compassionate. It’s so beautiful, and a lot more meaningful than the typical good-evil/black-white dichotomy of other mythology.
I wish western artists that cite Miyazaki as an influence would really absorb this message. A movie like My Neighbor Tortoro, which is a wonderful, lovely movie that children and adults adore, has no villians of any kind, and yet there’s still interest and conflict. Other films like Princess Mononoke introduce characters that resemble villians, but prove to be just more people doing what they think is right from their perspective.
Also most of his films have female protagonists. And while some of the films have romantic elements, it isn’t shoehorned into every single film as a cheap way to include a female character.

hahaha i think that idea gives his work a special complexity. i watched that raccoon-dogs-have-huge-balls movie and the central conflict was a very banal one: their neighborhood was changing and time was going on and they had to adapt to a new lifestyle. there was no one to blame but still such sadness and emotion!

We let Willow cut her hair. When you have a little girl, it’s like how can you teach her that you’re in control of her body? If I teach her that I’m in charge of whether or not she can touch her hair, she’s going to replace me with some other man when she goes out in the world. She can’t cut my hair but that’s her hair. She has got to have command of her body. So when she goes out into the world, she’s going out with a command that it is hers. She is used to making those decisions herself. We try to keep giving them those decisions until they can hold the full weight of their lives.

- He raises a really great point. What would it mean to believe very early that my body was mine. That it’s not for anyone or for any particular purpose other than to be mine until I decide otherwise.

I was damned near 30 before I could believe my body belonged to me & me alone. Dear people who take an issue with this,
Let the Smiths do right by their babies & shut the fuck up about how you think they should parent.
