An interesting model of our solar system’s path as it travels through space in the Milky Way.

Certainly a departure from usual models that show the Sun as a static object, which it certainly isn’t

I had no idea this was happening. Where are we going?

arianne-of-porne:

still understand and respect that a particular character wouldn’t be into the relationship at that point in time or ever

accept it if the characters never get together in canon

be completely fine with other people not shipping it

not hate the characters’ canon relationships or romantic/sexual partners

realize that being in a sexual/romantic relationship with the other character(s), or with anyone at all, might not be healthy for one or both of the characters

if the characters are already in a sexual/romantic relationship with each other, acknowledge that there are things about that relationship that are fucked up and unhealthy

admit each character’s faults honestly and not excuse them (understanding =/= excusing)

differentiate between what you want to see in canon and what you want to write/read about in fic/see in art

understand that ships serve different needs for different people; not every ship or representation of a ship is about healthy, loving romantic relationships. Some ships are about unhealthy codependency; some are about hatesex. Ships are a way of working out fantasies that we can’t and sometimes shouldn’t fulfill in real life, or about working through real-life fears, hopes, and pains. Writing something is not tantamount to saying “this is 100% awesome”. Sometimes we have to indulge our ids, and that doesn’t mean we get a free pass to not think about issues of representation or ensure that the people reading our fics know what to expect, but it all comes down to, for me, the fact that life is too fucking short and painful to have to feel like shit for what goes on in our heads so long as it doesn’t hurt anyone else.

this is relevant to my interests

the ‘understanding =/= excusing’ thing is something a lot of people have trouble grasping. it seems to go hand in hand with not grokking the concept of an unreliable narrator.

i don’t tend to write especially unhealthy relationships, but i do often use a narrative voice that is not fully ok in every way. for instance, karkat’s headvoice in ‘space bro’ is kinda sexist. dave in ‘lee shore’ excuses eridan’s faults and is defensive about anyone who might criticize him. equius in ‘california dreaming’ misses a lot of social signals and therefore portrays the people around him as more logical and less emotional than they might actually be. none of my viewpoint characters have a truly accurate appraisal of their environment.

i think most readers pick up on that, but every so often someone will ‘call me out’ on something pr96lematic one of my characters did or thought, and… man, i don’t even know how to respond. pointing out that fictional character is fictional would be pretty condescending, but that’s kind of the issue and the whole of the issue.

“You mean the generation that paid three times as much for college to enter a job market with triple the unemployment isn’t interested in purchasing the assets of the generation who just blew an enormous housing bubble and kept it from popping through quantitative easing and out-and-out federal support? Curious.”

- When comments are better than the article, Atlantic edition (“The Cheapest Generation: Why Millennials arent’ buying cars or houses, and what that means for the economy”)

Every time someone says we’re a lazy and entitled generation I’m going to show them this

They should be happy most of us haven’t moved to the moon yet

That actually sounds like a good idea at this point

The Animal Rescue Site is having trouble getting enough people to click on it daily so they can meet their quota of getting FREE FOOD donated every day to abused and neglected animals in their shelters.

It takes less than a minute (only about 15 seconds actually) to go to their site and click on the purple box titled, ‘Click Here to Give - it’s FREE!’. Every click gives about .6 bowls of food to sheltered dogs. You can also click daily!

Keep in mind that this does not cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate food to abandoned/neglected animals in exchange for advertising. [via.]

Go to the website here.

Doesn’t cost you a cent, just a click.
