NOT ENOUGH

Edward: *sticking Bella’s menstrual cup in the freezer* yummy, popsicles :)

this cracked me up bc my water pipes are noisy like this too

When a member of an oppressed group tells you to stop doing something that triggers them or to not use a slur, they’re not violating your free speech, because they don’t actually have any power to stop you. You won’t be arrested, fined, or penalized in any way if you continue to do the thing that bothers them. They’re simply saying that if you respected them and people like them, you would stop. By continuing, you’re simply stating that you’re willingly choosing to not respect them.

everything can be magical if you let it be. i remember the first time seeing red-winged blackbirds i was just…enthralled. i watched them for maybe an hour. i thought they made the sweetest noises and were just so pretty. and i found out later on that people consider them nuisances and pests. they’re literally common all over the united states but because they weren’t familiar to me they weren’t a burden or an annoyance but something beautiful. if we don’t let other people tell us how to feel about things, maybe we can just like things for what they are

Look, creators need validation. Yeah, I preach the write for yourself, draw for yourself, CREATE for yourself, which is true. Everyone should create for themselves because it’s THEIR’S and it’ll always hold something special. Create what YOU need. BUT, creators still need the validation.

If someone is putting their creations out there for even 1 person to see, they need the validation that they are GOOD at what they’re doing. If they don’t get the validation, they will stop. Creativity, inspiration, and motivation will come to a halt because creators will no longer feel like people care about what they create. They may do it privately, sure, but YOU will never see any of it again because that validation is gone. That confidence to SHARE with you, is gone.

So, what I’m saying is that if you LIKE your favorite creator’s work whether that be writing, art, graphics, gifs, video edits, etc. you NEED to validate them otherwise you’ll stop seeing new creations. It takes 2 seconds to comment in the tags of a reblog. If you like what someone produced, TELL THEM.
