AGATHA ALL ALONG TEAM + HUGS

happy Thursday the 20th

my mom says she’s not a hugger. but when i put my arms around her on a gloomy day or after bad news she’s the last to let go. my dad says he doesn’t want gifts on his birthday, but i see the way his face light up when i get him a card with a nice message and a box full of chocolate anyway. he’s just a kid inside, still. it makes him giddy. my brother never says i love you. but when i tell him “i just need to finish the dishes before i vacuum!” he wordlessly goes to vacuum the entire house before i can, and if he sees me struggle with a wrapper or a jar or a bottle he mutters ‘c’mere’ and opens it for me without even sparing me a glance. the thing is, people love you quietly, and you love them quietly, and the air is buzzing with tiny but grand gestures & once you look for them, you find them everywhere. i think that’s really beautiful.

You've gotta love Jews more than you hate Nazis.

You've gotta love trans folks more than you hate TERFs.

You've gotta love your unhoused neighbors more than you hate the billionaires.

You've gotta love immigrants more than you hate ICE.

You've gotta love queer kids more than you hate christian fundamentalists.

You've gotta love fat people more than you hate the diet industry.

You've gotta love disabled people more than you hate the insurance companies.

You've gotta love your fellow humans more than you hate the worst that humanity has to offer. You don't have to like every person you're fighting for, and you sure as hell don't have to give up your righteous anger, but hate is ultimately corrosive.

You've gotta love.

Beware!

hello please can I sleep in a studio ghibli bed it’s urgent

Avatar but every time Azula lightning bends she becomes younger

I've encountered a few Avatar: the Last Airbender fanfics where Azula points out that she "doesn't make empty threats." This is entirely untrue. Azula almost exclusively makes empty threats. If she's going to kill you, she'd already be throwing fire or lightning. If she tells you that she's going to kill you, it's because she wants something other than your death, and she thinks threatening you will achieve that.

When it comes to Zuko, Mai, or Ty Lee, empty threats and insults are practically Azula's love language; she uses them to communicate because she can't express (or even admit to herself) the softer feelings that she worries are a form of weakness.

Please reblog this if you believe that people under the age of 18 still need to have privacy and being a minor does not invalidate their feelings/need to have a safe space.

So are you in the mood for the type of tickling where I ask you "could you be good for me and let me tickle you here?" and say "It tickles? I can be a bit slower if you want."?

Or are you in the mood for the type of tickling where I go for your death spot without any warnings and smile with you as I tickle you, because you're so cute and ticklish like this?
