I love it when people try to claim representation in fiction is being taken “too far” to the point where it’s no believable. They’re like:
“What’s next, a mixed-race immigrant on the autism spectrum?” Hi, my name is Rachel, also known as Rachna, and I’m a mixed-race immigrant on the autism spectrum.
“What’s next, a transgender Latino man with chronic pain?” What, you mean my former colleague, Marco?
“What’s next, a Black Jewish lesbian?” Bitch, I know I three Black Jewish lesbians, WHAT’S YOUR FUCKING POINT?
everyone rb this with your identity a white dudebro would call forced diversity in the tags
Some VERY WELL DESERVED body positive love for Thor, soon also available on my Society 6 as a print and other things.
Inspired by the adorable ‘you don’t need abs to be fab’ picture <3
Art note: Bodies change throughout life, and Thor is no exception. And his reasons are completely understandable and valid. He suffered the most loss and failure and he became depressed. This is something that happens to many people, because life is unfair and hard. This godly character suddenly became relatable. And it saddens me that he was treated like a continuous fat joke throughout the movie instead of being supported and loved, that is why I made this art, to show support and love for this character, and anyone who relates to him. <3

the best thing in the entire goddamn world is the fact that human beings have hands perfectly capable of giving amazing scritches and there are hundreds of animals out there who just love being scritched
“It’s funny. When you leave your home and wander really far, you always think, ‘I want to go home.’ But then you come home, and of course it’s not the same. You can’t live with it, you can’t live away from it. And it seems like from then on there’s always this yearning for some place that doesn’t exist. I felt that. Still do. I’m never completely at home anywhere.”
Do any of you know about that one painting with Aphrodite being born out of lava with a black swan by her side or did i completely hallucinate that? Been searching for a while but i can’t find it for shit.
I tried googling that description but no luck either, anyone might know what painting this might be (or if it does exist? cause it sounds sick lol)
It took a bit of googling magic, but I think I’ve found it.
“This went kinda viral on tumblr and people are arguing whether it’s a painting of Aphrodite. It’s not. If she must be a goddess, I think she’d be Pele, the Hawaiian goddess of fire.
But it doesn’t depict anyone specifically. After some soul-searching I realize that, while I wasn’t thinking about it at the time, it’s a painting about battling depression. I live with MDD so the idea of emerging from the depths is a powerful thing for me.
Is she being born from the lava, or is she climbing out of Hell? I think it’s both.”
so. not Aphrodite, but someone beautiful nonetheless
