It’s a Homestuck giveaway hell yes!

Winners of the Tiny Pokemon Tea Set finally have their prizes sent through the mail so that means you now have the opportunity to have a tiny prize mailed to you, too! Yes, you!

One like and one reblog to each of you,  and you only have to hold your breath until Saturday, May 5th to find out if you won yourself a tiny troll figurine! Isn’t that neat? (It is.)

There will be 5 randomly-picked winners, and the first to respond will have first choice of which troll they want.

Oh, right. Have I mentioned how tiny they are? Look at Sollux over there, or Karkat, or Terezi! They are so damn tiny, like, over an inch,maybe.

Enjoy!!! :D

i finally figured out this gif

in this first clip, we see brock and ash, metaphorically representing cissexist gatekeeping doctors, “assigning” staryu, a gender-ambiguous entity, with water, a representation of binary gender roles. staryu, however, as we see, neither becomes male or female with the assignment of the water, but remains the same, a staryu.

here, we see Ash, the excited yet binarist parent, looking on excitedly as it unconsciously assumes that staryu will take on the role of a boy or a girl. Oh, happy day! My staryu will be the best boy/girl ever! little does he realize that gender is not biology or chromosomes, but rather a series of expressions and interconnected modes of identity that staryu will now have to struggle with for the rest of its existence after being assigned a gender at birth.

In Brock’s less enthusiastic expression, however, we can see a representation of cisnormative institutions and the expectations they place on the individual. in a society in which individuals are judged by how well they “perform” their assigned gender, we can see in Brock’s countenance the weighing of numerous social and cultural factors in his gaze directed upon staryu, a means of shaming staryu into accepting assigned roles instead of staking out its own expression and identity. in this sense, pokemon becomes not merely an anime about kids making animals kill one another, but an extended discussion on the pervasive assumptions of cisnormative culture and their affect on the individual psyche. Pokemon: gotta gender ‘em all.

Biggering - Lorax (2012)

Scrapped Once-ler song from the movie. I haven’t watched it, but I think it would have really added to Once-ler’s character and the spirit of the book had it not been deemed too “dark” for kiddies. The last few lines are fantastically villainous.

Louisville Arcade Expo 2012

That is actually the very same model of TV that my parents had set up in the living room, circa 1996. The stereo equipment was present, but hooked up in another part of the house.

So THAT’S where it went; all the way to Louisville.

Sometimes I wish I had a dog who couldn’t put his tongue back in his mouth. This photo reminds me of when I had my wisdom teeth out.
