with the update, i was just thinking of like…the strider-lalonde family. and like, okay.

so, i’d imagine that mom would have to work a lot when they’re little. bro’s puppet business wouldn’t earn too much money at first, so roxy would have to be the bread winner and stuff.

and like, dave loves bro, he really does, but mom’s not around a lot, so when she is home, he’ll follow her around like a little puppy.

plus, with her rogue powers, she could conjure up some apple juice from nothing. and since she’s much older, she’d have a lot more control over it, so the apple juice is totally delicious, and the best there is.

so…yeah, lil’ davey would have an unlimited supply.

One of the things I love about Homestuck is the honesty that Hussie uses. He doesn’t go for being overdramatic, doesn’t make the characters aware of their thematic purposes, they just experience these challenges that happen to them and react in a way that is so relatable and real. Like that thing about Tavros up there, being paralyzed? Hussie could’ve made it that being paralyzed made him want to fly, for the symbolism, but no. He was real with us and said being paralyzed makes him want to be able to walk, because in actuality, in real life, that’s what would matter. Hussie goes straight to the honest truth of the situation, without spoon feeding the readers.

Rape has become endemic in South Africa, so a medical technician named Sonette Ehlers developed a product that immediately gathered national attention there. Ehlers had never forgotten a rape victim telling her forlornly, “If only I had teeth down there.

Some time afterward, a man came into the hospital where Ehlers works in excruciating pain because his penis was stuck in his pants zipper.

Ehlers merged those images and came up with a product she called Rapex. It resembles a tube, with barbs inside. The woman inserts it like a tampon, with an applicator, and any man who tries to rape the woman impales himself on the barbs and must go to an emergency room to have the Rapex removed.

When critics complained that it was a medieval punishment, Ehlers replied tersely, “A medieval device for a medieval deed.”

A medieval device for a medieval deed - yes.

This is perfect

This is one of my acquaintances (not quite friend, but close enough that I care about what she does). This post has so many notes, and I don’t understand why. If it’s to ridicule her, I am deeply saddened by the state of tumblr and exactly how accepting of a place it really is.

She makes videos about her lifestyle to help educate people about goth culture and how stigmatized it is. She blogs about her real life struggles, the day-to-day abuse she gets for embracing a community that has been scrutinized harshly for little reason other than the fact that it’s different. Some videos are really negative (read: abuse) that give a glimpse into her struggles

This video, however, is actually rather positive, if you guys actually took the time to watch it. She begins the video with a glimpse into the ugly world of unsupportive parents. She talks about how a lot of parents who have children in alternative lifestyles disown them, beat them, and all kinds of messed up things. She also tells about parents of children with goth/alternative lifestyle friends and how they wont allow them to interact with them at all (sometimes resulting in abuse as well). After that, she brings up how SUPPORTIVE HER PARENTS ARE OF HER, and how SHE LOVES THEM SO VERY MUCH.

Mom and Dad, if you ever watch this, I just wanna say I love you, and thanks for loving me even though I’m unlovable by some because of appearance and other reasons. Thank you.

She pours her heart into these videos to help make a change, and everyone who reblogs this to make fun of her could really take a lesson from her videos.

Thanks for proving her points, guys.
