sure, not all men, but a lot of men, and we have no way of knowing which ones

“sure, not all black people, but a lot of black people, and we have no way of knowing which ones.”

This is exactly how you sound.

“sure, not all muslims, but a lot of muslims, and we have no way of knowing which ones.”

lettuce consult the fbi data:

Of the 1,864 women murdered in 2010, 91% were killed by men. (by contrast, of the 3,872 men murdered, only 9% were killed by women). Of all the women murdered (by either sex), over a third were killed by a husband or boyfriend. women have legitimate reason to fear men, even the ones they know. 

Of the 3,327 white people murdered in 2010, only 13% were killed by black people. 3% were killed by other or unknown races. white people do not have a statistically legitimate reason to fear other races.

women’s fear of men is based in reality, not bigotry. white people’s fear of other races is based in bigotry, not reality.

^^^^^

See, if you wanted a proper comparison, you’d have to say: “sure, not all white people, but a lot of white people, and we have no way of knowing which ones.”

Because most white people aren’t openly racist, even when speaking only to other white people, where it might be “safe”. Unless they’re old or have full-on drank the conservative kool-aid, then all bets are off. Source: I live in a blue city in one of the most red states in the country. We get all sorts here, and any kind of inclusiveness gets huge amounts of pushback, but it’s all couched in polite language or concerns about “safety”.

my headcanon here is that legolas is just BARELY visibly holding it together

since canon tells us that mirkwood elves like to party and are fully capable of passing out from drunk

so legolas is using EVERYTHING HE HAS to fuck with gimli and pretend he hasn’t a clue what it’s like to be affected by alcohol

while inside he’s all ‘sdkla;hgsj you can do this leggles you can do this’

‘don’t think about that time you blacked out from dorwinion wine while naked in the middle of an impromptu archery contest’

‘and all your friends drew orc penises on your face’

‘and when you woke up you were halfway to dale without a clue as to how you got there’

‘And especially don’t think about that time you drank so much that the dwarves you were supposed to be watching escaped in the empty barrels of wine.’

‘Dad never let me hear the end of that one’

Leggles

While all of the above is great, I’d like to offer that dwaven ‘ale’ probably isn’t made from barley.  they live underground.  what grows underground? Mushrooms.  I’m saying Dwarven Ale is halucinogenic.  I’m saying Legolas was tripping balls.

all of this is perfect

HEADCANON. FUCKING. ACCEPTED.

I’ve got to go over there after this and clean toilets and I’m not kidding you. We’re doing absolutely everything ourselves. A lot of the fans of the show stop by and say ‘Oh my gosh, Jensen is mopping the floor.’ I’m like yep, he’s a good mopper. It’s so much fun. The brewery and the kids and this special little gift that is Supernatural is pretty much my world right now

THIS. I saw a post the other day that literally said if you do it to a fictional character, you’ll do it in real life.

No. Just NO.

I’m so glad someone put it into words.

It’s p much like this in my head, writing. 

I have no desire to rappel 400 ft down the inside of a steam vent, get shot at or strangled; nor do I wish to shoot or strangle others. I don’t particularly want to have an allergic reaction to mako or ruthlessly blackmail my coworkers. 

Come on, guys. This isn’t hard.

I love noir-flavored fiction. I don’t want noir reality. I really love working in a Buddhist community, and sitting at my nice desk watching the sun rise. 

i mean honestly, a lot of the bloodiest art comes from the gentlest hands. because you put those thoughts into the work, not into your life.

People will tell you that emotional abuse isn’t real and what you’re dealing with isn’t that big a deal and you’re just exaggerating, but let me tell you something.

If you’ve ever been wary of everyone you know, even people you trust, because you’re expecting them to get angry with you over literally anything, make fun of you, or start making threats, something’s wrong.

If you’ve ever had to plan things in anticipation of a potential tantrum that you fear will be taken out on you, something’s wrong.

If you succumb to someone’s demands because you’re never sure if their threats are empty or legit and you just want to play it on the safe side, something’s wrong.

If you find yourself jumping at smaller noises in anticipation that they’re a warning sign for a tantrum, something’s wrong.

If you hide things – especially things that make you happy – because you’re so afraid that they’ll make fun of you for liking them, scold you for liking something they don’t, take them away, destroy them, or that they’ll defile them and ruin that love you have for them, something’s wrong.

If you find yourself being silent in the face of mild disagreements or thinly-veiled insults, rather than standing up for yourself because you just don’t want to start an argument and make things worse, something’s wrong.

If that very lack of standing up for yourself eventually leads to you never offering your opinion in any sort of discussion out of fear of ridicule or being scolded because that’s what you’re so used to, something’s wrong.

If you end up spending a lot of your time in your room keeping to yourself and keeping any trip outside of your room to an absolute minimum because you don’t want to risk putting one toe out of line and setting off a tantrum, yet you’re also aware that hiding out will also cause an issue and you’re probably just minimizing the risk instead of erasing it entirely, something’s wrong.

If you ever habitually glance outside the window to keep watch for your supposed abuser’s car to return from their work, errand or trip, and then heading to your room or other hiding place to keep out of their way, erasing any obvious signs that you’ve been out and about in the rest of your living space, something’s wrong.

If one of your greatest fantasies involves not a dream career or winning the lottery but instead an escape plan succeeding, something’s wrong.

If you could basically summarize your life as living in constant, subtle fear, Something. Is. Wrong.

Emotional abuse is very, very real, and it has lasting consequences that can affect people’s relationships, their jobs, and their lives all-around.

Don’t you dare tell me it isn’t real.

Okay but seriously please reblog because if I had seen this as a teenager maybe I would have booked it outta That Relationship instead of putting up with 14 years of hell and before the abuse escalated

thank you

Or, as XKCD so succinctly put it:

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can make me think I deserved it.
