Hello!
Truth be told I have no idea how you ended up here, but welcome. I only have the one blog, which means it gets filled up with a lot of unrelated things. There will be numerous fandoms, posts about privilege and oppression, and lots and lots of pretty pictures. Frequently school gets in the way and this Tumblr goes dormant, and then break comes along and I queue up a flood of posts, so don't follow if you like your dash to be somewhat regular.
I'm working on plans for a hobbit hole mansion that me and my friends will live in. If you have ever thought about your own dream-home, then pretty please will you tell me about it?
I don't put up pictures or much biographical information about myself, but you can call me Sakura Nicole.
Oh, and even though this blog may not always be active, I will always answer my asks, so that's open if you ever need to talk to someone or rant.
P.S. I do occasionally put up personal posts, usually under a read more. I would never ask anybody to not read something I put out there publicly, but if I know you in person could you at least pretend you didn't read it? Please and Thank You.

I like the phrase “with all due respect” because if I don’t feel like I owe them respect then they don’t get any either.

I just realized that “lead” rhymes with “read”, but “lead” also rhymes with “read”.
you piece of shit.
You just broke the English language.
HOWEVER, “lead” doesn’t rhyme with “read.”
And now I shall go nuts trying to figure out which pronunciation goes with which word in the doesn’t rhyme one.
Should I point out that led rhymes with red, and also rhymes with lead, but not read?
but it does rhyme with read.
No, it rhymes with read but not read.

Well said. The former places blame on the offended for being overly sensitive and doesn’t give any responsibility to the person making offensive statements. It’s not an apology, it’s an attack.

Everyone who terrifies you is sixty-five percent water.
And everyone you love is made of stardust, and I know sometimes
you cannot even breathe deeply, and
the night sky is no home, and
you have cried yourself to sleep enough times
that you are down to your last two percent, butnothing is infinite,
not even loss.You are made of the sea and the stars, and one day
you are going to find yourself again.

Still my favorite story from the Lord of the Rings set: Viggo Mortensen bonded so much with the horse he rode in the movies that after filming was over he bought it from its owner. If that doesn’t warm your heart I don’t know what could.
don’t forget that he also bought arwen’s horse for her stunt rider when she couldn’t afford it awww
#also don’t forget that for the rohirrim they put a call out for locals #bring a horse show us you can ride it and get a part in the battle scenes #and one women went out roped a wild horse and rode for a few days to set #and got to be a rider of rohan
also sort of relevant viggo also bought the horse that costarred with him in the movie hidalgo and subsequently took the horse (tj) with him to the red carpet premier.
Also most of the Riders of Rohan are actually women because when they put out that call mostly women showed up with their horses and the costume team just stuck beards on them.

miguel-the-sexy-and-powerful-god:
every time I use “they” to refer to a single gender-unknown person on Tumblr, another piece of my grammar-filled heart shatters, and the pieces scatter at the bottom of hell
“They” has been a singular pronoun for hundreds of years, you melodramatic dipshit.
well… actually… no… they is plural. people use they when they should use he, she, or it.
dense motherfucker, the pronoun “they” is an english equivalent for the third person indefinite singular and has been for literally centuries. it remains morphologically and syntactically plural therefore you don’t need to shit your little pantaloons at compromising your surely rock solid grammar rules.
i guarantee every fuckin time you’ve ever had to refer to a person of an unknown gender you’ve used “they” subconsciously. (“The post clerk gave me a message for you.” “Oh, what did they say?”) but you only have a problem with it when people specify it as a pronoun for themselves because you’re a shitlord i fuckin guess.
grammarized straight into hell
cackles linguistically
I want to make love to this post.

Samuel L. Jackson seriously wants to be in the new Star Wars movies. He doesn’t care how it happens, he doesn’t care how many arms he has or how dead he is, or if he has to somehow do this as Nick Fury instead of Mace Windu.
Is there anyone among us who doesn’t think Star Wars could use a little Nick Fury? (Source)
…it’s a universe with a well-established history of just cloning the shit out of people at the slightest excuse. Samuel L. Jackson could theoretically play every role in the next movie without it being that implausible, by Star Wars standards.

Only if you assume that George Lucas was making a documentary. Otherwise for all we know the actual intended audience of the piece was Jack Harkness sitting around on Boeshane in the year 5122.
Also this seems to indicate a despicable lack of faith in the time travel abilities of Nick Fury.
Or that you think our current Nick Fury is not himself potentially a clone of the Furies that existed a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.

I mean, in the beginning you have Sakura and Ino fighting over Sasuke (a boy who destroyed their friendship without actually doing anything). Hinata is shy and crushing hard on Naruto, which just makes her more shy whenever he’s around. Tenten seems to be quite proficient with weapons, but we hardly ever see her battle.
Temari and Tsunade are a few who are portrayed as actually being able to win their battles (at least in the first half, which is where my brain is at the moment).
And there are always these lines about how the men can’t lose to a woman, or can’t let one do the fighting for them, or how it’s their job to protect the females. And I can’t tell if all these boys and men are just being sexist and/or thinking that they’re clever, or if it’s actually an idea that the story is trying to put forth. Okay, okay, it’s most definitely the former, but I still dislike seeing all those comments.
These women are badass, so why are they out-shone by the men so often?
I like to think that it’s because Kishimoto has a shit ton of internalized misogyny, and he’s catering to boys and men that also have internalized misogyny. Naruto is a Shounen manga, which means that technically it’s being marketed to boys 10 and up. The implication there is that young boys don’t want or need strong female role models, so why bother having them?
We’re not just making this up, either. Like, for example, according to the fanwiki there are only 164 female characters, but there are 624 male characters. Because population-wise males outnumber females 6:1 -rolls eyes-
The implication there is that women are too weak for war, ill-suited to the shinobi life. And it’s not just being physically weak, but mentally weak. Men are better, strong, smarter, tougher, more skilled, etc. And then you have the stand-outs, which are rare, and extremely noteworthy for their rareness.
It’s bullshit, really. Especially when the majority of women are wearing revealing outfits that show off their figures. -rolls eyes-
So often the women are sacrifices or healers or there to give love to an otherwise lonely (male) character. And they rarely have some special-extra-powerful-unique-magic that it seems like every other male character is blessed with.
For fucking real. I was just reading shit up on the net, you know, to casually check out what other people are saying on this. There;s justification (At least the ratio is better than other fighting mangas/There are plenty of male characters weaker than the females) and shit like (They’re not weak, the men are just stronger.)
The grossest thing I read was: “The show is about Naruto, and it’s a Shonen Manga. There is no reason for girls to be strong in it. The story is for boy, about boys and so forth… Hell sense it’s shonen, Kishi could of had ALL boys and no girls.” Because it’s totally healthy for boys to not read about women being on an equal standing as men.
It really makes me angry because, despite the manga being marketed towards boys, a HELL of a lot of girls read it, too.
I came across a top-ten women of Naruto poll. The reasons why a lot of people voted for specific characters was because they were pretty/sexy/otherwise good looking. And, like, what? Not their character development or their jutsu or their personality, but their looks? They’re freaking drawings.
Kishimoto said that Sakura was the first female character he ever drew that wasn’t cute. And there are a whole lot of problems with that, but foremostly:
Is this not cute?
