Why is this heat so hot 😩

seeing the photos from Webb up against photos from Hubble just makes me… I don’t even know like, wow! Look at that!

X-Men is about civil rights. If you didn’t get that, you didn’t get X-Men.

Black Panther is about civil rights. If you didn’t get that, you didn’t get Black Panther.

Captain America literally fought Nazis. He is the embodiment of fighting the alt-right. If you didn’t get that, you didn’t get Captain America.

The Empire in Star Wars is fascist. The Rebel alliance are Anti-Fascist. If you didn’t get that, you didn’t get Star Wars.

The Punisher isn’t meant to be a role model for police or armed forces. So much so that the writers of The Punisher made him actively speak out against it in a comic. If you didn’t get that, you didn’t get The Punisher.

Deadpool is queer. He’s pansexual. Fact. If you didn’t get that you didn’t get Deadpool.

Star Trek is about equality for all genders, races and sexualities. As early as the mid-60s it was taking a pro-choice stance and defending women’s right to choose. One of its clearest themes is accepting different cultures and appearances and working together for peace. (It’s also anti-capitalist and pro-vegan). If you didn’t get that, you didn’t get Star Trek.

Superman and Supergirl (and a whole host of other superheroes) are immigrants. The stance of those comics is pro-immigration and pro-equality and acceptance. If you didn’t get that, you didn’t get Superman or Supergirl.

Stan Lee said “Racism and bigotry are among the deadliest social ills plaguing the world today.” If you’re bigoted or racist, you didn’t get any of the characters Stan Lee created.

The stories we grew up with all taught us to value other people and cultures and to treasure the differences between us. Only villains were xenophobic, or sexist, or racist, or totalitarian. I can’t understand how anyone can have missed that.

If you’re upset that there’s a black Spider-Man, or a black Captain America, or a female Thor, or that Ms Marvel is Muslim, or that Captain Marvel was pro-feminism, or any of the other things right wing “fans” say is “stealing their childhood” - you never got it in the first place. The things you claim are now “pandering to the lefties” were never on your side to begin with.

If you consider yourself a fan of these things, but you still think the LGBTQ+ community is too “in your face”, or have a problem with Black Lives Matter, or want to “take the country back from immigrants”, then you’re not really a fan at all.

Geek culture isn’t suddenly left wing... it always was. You just grew up to be intolerant. You became the villain in the stories you used to love.

Ways to support Ukraine 🇺🇦

More than 500,000 people have already left Ukraine due to the invasion by the Russian Federation. The European Commissioner for Humanitarian Aid and Crisis Management estimates that roughly 18 million Ukrainians will be affected by the conflict in humanitarian terms, with 7 million internally displaced and 4 million seeking refuge elsewhere. To help those still in Ukraine, as well as Ukrainian refugees, we’ve compiled this list of resources.

HelpUkraineWin.org has a collection of vetted and trusted resources, charities, and organizations to help Ukraine.

Some additional ways to donate:

Vostok SOS provides immediate evacuation support.

Malteser International provides essentials for Ukrainian refugees.

Ukraine Crisis Media Center provides fundraising links and a list of tips for sharing information.

Misinformation spreads fast on social media. It is more important than ever to share accurate, verifiable news and information. Here are some resources to learn how to identify misinformation:

This video from the nonprofit WITNESS shares tips for identifying authentic sources (available in English, Spanish, Ukranian, Russian, and Arabic).

These visual verification tips, also from WITNESS, provide information on verifying images and videos (available in English and Spanish).

This interview with NPR contains tips for identifying fake TikToks.

Hi, guys!

As you may know, I am Ukrainian. I live in Kyiv. I have lived here since I was born and I love my country with my whole heart.

I see a lot of misinformation under the tag "Ukraine". Most of it comes from American people, who try to explain the conflict in their own words. They can't. It's impossible to explain if you haven't lived here. There are too many influences on this conflict. You keep looking from an american perspective, which is not crucial in understanding the conflict.

For example, have you ever had you language forbidden? Like straight up forbidden by the law? It happened to Ukrainian language a lot of times thought our history. And who did it? The Russian Empire. And it's not the end of it. The genocides, the assimilation, the deportation. Have you even researched Ukrainian history?

You do not uplift Ukrainian voices enough. And you should if you care about what's happening. If you don’t do it, you're just doing a performance of your support and activism.

Lucky for you, I am a Ukrainian person! And I am DYING TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS. I scored 191/200 points on my graduation exam in history, so you can suppose I know something about Ukrainian history.

If you stand for Ukraine, uplift Ukrainian voices. Educate yourself. Learn Ukrainian history. Ask Ukrainian people

Writing fight scenes

masterlist. main navigation.

@bluebxlle_writer on Instagram

1. Pacing

A fight scene should be fast-paced and intense. Unless it's a final battle with numerous parties, a fight scene that's too long tends to take away suspense. To speed up your pacing, use active voice to describe movement and don't overdescribe your characters' thoughts. Excessive inner monologue will be unrealistic, as people usually have no room to think during intense combats.

2. Character mannerisms

Here's a point that people often overlook, but is actually super important. Through fight scenes, you should be able to reveal your characters' contrasting mannerisms and personality. A cunning character would play dirty - fighting less and making use of their opponent's weakness more. A violent character would aim to kill. A softer one would only target to disarm their enemies, using weakened attacks. A short-minded character would only rely on force and attack without thinking. This will help readers understand your characters more and decide who to root for.

3. Making use of surroundings

Not only the characters, you also need to consider the setting of your fight scene and use it to your advantage. Is it suitable for fighting, or are there dangerous slopes that make it risky? Are there scattered items that can help your characters fight (e.g. nails, shards of glass, ropes, wooden boards, or cutlery)? Is it a public place where people can easily spot the fight and call the authorities, or is it a private spot where they can fight to the death?

4. Description

The main things that you need to describe in a fight scene are :

• Characters involved in the fight

• How they initiate and dodge attacks

• Fighting styles and any weapons used

• The injuries caused

Be careful to not drag out the description for too long, because it slows down the pace.

5. Raise the stakes

By raising the stakes of the fight, your readers will be more invested in it. Just when they think it's over, introduce another worse conflict that will keep the scene going. Think of your characters' goals and motivations as well. Maybe if the MC didn't win, the world would end! Or maybe, one person in the fight is going all-out, while the other is going easy because they used to be close :"D

6. Injuries

Fights are bound to be dirty and resulting in injuries, so don't let your character walk away unscathed - show the effect of their injuries. For example, someone who had been punched in the jaw has a good chance of passing out, and someone who had been stabbed won't just remove the knife and walk away without any problem. To portray realistic injuries, research well.

7. Drive the plot forward

You don't write fight scenes only to make your characters look cool - every fight needs to have a purpose and drive the plot forward. Maybe they have to fight to improve their fighting skills or escape from somewhere alive. Maybe they need to defeat the enemy in order to obtain an object or retrieve someone who had been kidnapped. The point is, every single fight scene should bring the characters one step closer (or further :D) to the climax.

8. Words to use

• Hand to hand combat :

Crush, smash, lunge, beat, punch, leap, slap, scratch, batter, pummel, whack, slam, dodge, clobber, box, shove, bruise, knock, flick, push, choke, charge, impact

• With weapon :

Swing, slice, brandish, stab, shoot, whip, parry, cut, bump, poke, drive, shock, strap, pelt, plunge, impale, lash, bleed, sting, penetrate

If you don't mind, I'd like advice on writing a kidnapping

Writing kidnappings

masterlist. main navigation.

@bluebxlle_writer on instagram

1. Purpose

Common purposes of kidnapping are :

• They require that person to achieve something

• The person has important information

• For ransom, to get something from another character

• For bait, to lure another character

Also, raise the stakes. This may seem trivial, but trust me, it helps. The readers won't care about the kidnapping if the stakes aren't high enough. Maybe the mcs will get lots of money or crucial information if they manage to kidnap someone. Or alternately, maybe something bad will happen if the mcs don't rescue the victim from their kidnappers on time.

2. How it took place

Did the kidnappers have a messy plan - needing to break into a place, fight, and physically drag the victim out of there, which will make the kidnapping known to practically everyone, or did they have an elaborate plan where they drug the victim and smuggle them out through the sewers, so that nobody knew about the kidnapping until a few days have passed? How the kidnappers organize their kidnapping plan will say a lot about their personality and efficiency.

3. How the kidnappers treat the victim

Another important aspect that will also help in the characterizations of the kidnappers is to decide how they will treat the victim. Antagonists will probably torture them - and might even finish it by killing them even after they give in. Protagonists might be more awkward, giving their prisoner food, and checking them once in a while.

But yk what? Screw bad guy and good guy norms. Why not spice it up? Make your antagonists terribble kidnappers, unconsciously striking small talk with the prisoners (yes, like Ming Hua and Ghazan to Mako and Bolin from tlok), while your protagonists ruthless and not hesitating to torture them.

4. How the victim acts

Think about how the prisoner will react to being kidnapped. Will they cower in fear, or make snarky comments and not care about the situation? And during the interrogation, if there's any, will they immediately give in to save themselves or remain strong and keep their mouth shut? Will they try to escape at all, or simply accept their fate?

Or even better, they'll outsmart their kidnappers by pretending to strike a deal with them, only to betray that deal later (my personal favorite oml).

5. Reaction of friends and families

There are three possibilities on how friends and families will react to the victims being kidnapped :

1. They'll become distraught, willing to do anything to get the victim back, even if it means they'll play dirty. If you choose this option, there are more options to write about :

• They'll work together and become an even better team to rescue the victim.

• They'll let their emotions take over and start blaming one another, causing fights and the team to fall apart, which will make a rescue mission difficult.

• They'll strike a deal with another group of villains and work together to save the victim.

2. They won't even notice that the victim is missing, making the whole thing even sadder. A perfect example of this is the kidnapping of Klaus in TUA - none of his siblings noticed when he went missing, not even after he literally time traveled back and forth. Not to mention that when they heard that their brother had been kidnapped, their first thought was Five, not Klaus.

3. Even worse, they might know that the victim had been kidnapped, but they won't do anything about it - either because they don't care enough, or they prioritized their current missions over rescuing the victim. This one never fails to make me cry :"

Of course, you don't have to stick to one of these - you can always create a mixture of all three. Maybe most people won't notice the victim's disappearance, and those who did won't bother to do anything, but their closest friend was willing to do anything to rescue them.

My laptop

This is very embarrassing for me, i am aware there are people out there with much more important needs like food, getting out of abusive homes and so many other reasons, but im kinda scared and I have to ask for help.

I've been creating custom content for sims since 2018? I think it's 2018. And i have this same laptop since 2015, it has handled things very well, but it started to tear itself apart last year, since them, it has been glued to stay open and solid:

Feels like it will completely fall apart in hours you know

I already have an income, but it goes all to food, Healthcare, ADHD/depression meds, college and minor things. So I'll just reinforce my ko-fi page here. Laptops aren't cheap right now, but i really have no choice. I cant wait. If i stop making cc, ill lose patrons and then i won't be able to help my family or pay for my meds and college.

Im sorry im really hating to write this post

Hey! Hope you are having a nice day!

Can I ask prompts about two friends loving each other, but being totally oblivious about it? Like, totally unaware of how the other is feeling despite their crush dropped several hints about their feelings?

hi anon! i hope you are having a good day too, and thank you for your support <3 my ask box is still open for requests and other stuff

your typical grumpy x sunshine friends duo. the grumpy one started complimenting awkwardly everything their sunshine friend does, but sunshine isn't so used to that

A has the habit of kissing B's forehead or knuckles every time they meet, but now A's kisses seem to linger a little bit longer, but B still hadn't noticed

every single person just take one good look at A and B smiling at each other like the other is the world and just automatically sighs "these two are the worst idiots i have ever seen"

A's and B's families treat the other like their own child. they also plan the future wedding in secret

always a pair of shoulders for the other to cry on. no matter the circumstances, i will always have you in my arms, and quietly pouring my heart to you "i love you, i will love you if your ex couldn't. i am here"

i bring food to your place in the middle of the night because you said that you were hungry and you were like "you are such a good friend to me!" and i want to leave because you're such an idiot you're lucky that you're the love of my life

you actually brought me food at midnight because of a text??? i love you so much but i don't want to ruin our friendship right now because of some corndogs so i tell you that you are my best friend why your eyes are twitching like that-

you idiot shit i am the one who forgot my textbook and why the fuck did you push yours under my notebook and now the teacher is giving you a disciplinary slip you stupid motherfucker-
