On the Road to Heaven

What if Tony and Nat met on the road to heaven. What if Nat burst into tears when she saw Tony again but she then realise what it meant, and for the first time she is willing to show her true emotions in front of Tony and started crying on his shoulder. Tony then pat her head and tell her that everything is fine now, that they won and she did good.

Style is not fashion. Fashion is not trendy after a season. I couldn’t give a shit about fashion. Style is dressing the way that you feel confident and what is appropriate for you, your age, your body type.

The pain piles on in Civil War, sadly.

Watch: The most wonderful moment of joy came when he entered a Nazi guard bungalow.

i fucking hate this website

Big Hero 6: treats emotional trauma seriously, rather than brushing it off

The Good Dinosaur: assures kids that having fears and anxiety is okay but you need to control it and not have it ruin your life

Inside Out: explains emotions well enough for children's therapy offices to use it as an example

Zootopia: addresses racism in a family-friendly and easy to understand way, so much so that even adults understand it better

Frozen: teaches young girls that they don't always need a prince to save them, sometimes they can rely on their family just as much

Society: but they're just kids movies :/

Dad: Why do you think they do that? Girl: Because the companies who make these try to trick the girls into buying the pink stuff instead of stuff boys want to buy. [x]

that awkward moment when a child understands the harm of forcing gender roles better than most grown male politicians.

When the Nazi concentration camps were liberated by the Allies, it was a time of great jubilation for the tens of thousands of people incarcerated in them. But an often forgotten fact of this time is that prisoners who happened to be wearing the pink triangle (the Nazis’ way of marking and identifying homosexuals) were forced to serve out the rest of their sentence. This was due to a part of German law simply known as “Paragraph 175” which criminalized homosexuality. The law wasn’t repealed until 1969.
