Bruce Wayne having to play Fuck, Marry, Kill on a talkshow, except all the options are JL members.
so, we need to talk.
not liking a ship or a character is okay. more than okay, it’s completely normal. but harassing a young actress online it’s not.
these past few days i’ve seen people send her messages from complaining about a couple’s age difference to saying they wish she would drop dead. just now someone said to me on twitter that ‘grace van dien is a pervert who does not understands eddie is gay and that ‘joe’ should be protected from her’. and why is she a ‘pervert’, i asked? because she shares edissy fanfiction and fanart online.
tweeting that you wished she would catch on fire because she was confirmed on a fan convention, just because the man you worship will be there as well? saying that she’s a ‘slut’ and that she’s pathetic for wanting to ‘jump on his dick’ (their words, not mine)? well, this is not normal behavior.
joseph quinn is not a child, stop babying an almost 30 yr old man - he does not need your ‘protection’. he is not your friend, he is not your colleague and he’s definitely not your boyfriend. he is not eddie. you don’t know him. you know who does know him personally? grace van dien, who is a real person who can read the awful things you send her. a person who has been nothing but nice to everyone who interacts with her online.
things we say online are real and extremely dangerous. as a lawyer (even if not based in the us) i can safely say grace van dien can take legal action against a lot of people. i honestly hope she does. this type of behavior cannot go unpunished.
in the end, this is not about edissy or steddie. this is not about people thinking the duffer brothers wrote eddie as gay/bi/ or trans. this stopped being about fictional characters a while ago.
this is about people crossing the line between what’s real and what’s fiction. this is about the cult of celebrity worshipping. and this is about people needing to realize that this man is an actor whos getting paid to do a job. he is not going to fall in love with you. he is not yours to protect.
if you are one of these people who think they know a famous person because of how much you ‘love’ them, you need to seek help. this is dangerous behavior and soon someone is going to get in legal trouble over it.
Are you even besties if you don’t bite each other for no other reason but to be an absolute menace <3
An Article from Neena Susan Thomas
“Through a rapist’s eyes. A group of rapists and date rapists in prison were interview…ed on what they look for in a potential victim and here are some interesting facts:
1] The first thing men look for in a potential victim is hairstyle. They are most likely to go after a woman with a ponytail, bun! , braid, or other hairstyle that can easily be grabbed. They are also likely to go after a woman with long hair. Women with short hair are not common targets.
2] The second thing men look for is clothing. They will look for women who’s clothing is easy to remove quickly. Many of them carry scissors around to cut clothing.
3] They also look for women using their cell phone, searching through their purse or doing other activities while walking because they are off guard and can be easily overpowered.
4] The number one place women are abducted from / attacked at is grocery store parking lots.
5] Number two is office parking lots/garages.
6] Number three is public restrooms.
7] The thing about these men is that they are looking to grab a woman and quickly move her to a second location where they don’t have to worry about getting caught.
8] If you put up any kind of a fight at all, they get discouraged because it only takes a minute or two for them to realize that going after you isn’t worth it because it will be time-consuming.
9] These men said they would not pick on women who have umbrellas,or other similar objects that can be used from a distance, in their hands.
10] Keys are not a deterrent because you have to get really close to the attacker to use them as a weapon. So, the idea is to convince these guys you’re not worth it.
POINTS THAT WE SHOULD REMEMBER:
1] If someone is following behind you on a street or in a garage or with you in an elevator or stairwell, look them in the face and ask them a question, like what time is it, or make general small talk: can’t believe it is so cold out here, we’re in for a bad winter. Now that you’ve seen their faces and could identify them in a line- up, you lose appeal as a target.
2] If someone is coming toward you, hold out your hands in front of you and yell Stop or Stay back! Most of the rapists this man talked to said they’d leave a woman alone if she yelled or showed that she would not be afraid to fight back. Again, they are looking for an EASY target.
3] If you carry pepper spray (this instructor was a huge advocate of it and carries it with him wherever he goes,) yelling I HAVE PEPPER SPRAY and holding it out will be a deterrent.
4] If someone grabs you, you can’t beat them with strength but you can do it by outsmarting them. If you are grabbed around the waist from behind, pinch the attacker either under the arm between the elbow and armpit or in the upper inner thigh – HARD. One woman in a class this guy taught told him she used the underarm pinch on a guy who was trying to date rape her and was so upset she broke through the skin and tore out muscle strands the guy needed stitches. Try pinching yourself in those places as hard as you can stand it; it really hurts.
5] After the initial hit, always go for the groin. I know from a particularly unfortunate experience that if you slap a guy’s parts it is extremely painful. You might think that you’ll anger the guy and make him want to hurt you more, but the thing these rapists told our instructor is that they want a woman who will not cause him a lot of trouble. Start causing trouble, and he’s out of there.
6] When the guy puts his hands up to you, grab his first two fingers and bend them back as far as possible with as much pressure pushing down on them as possible. The instructor did it to me without using much pressure, and I ended up on my knees and both knuckles cracked audibly.
7] Of course the things we always hear still apply. Always be aware of your surroundings, take someone with you if you can and if you see any odd behavior, don’t dismiss it, go with your instincts. You may feel little silly at the time, but you’d feel much worse if the guy really was trouble.
FINALLY, PLEASE REMEMBER THESE AS WELL ….
1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do: The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do it.
2. Learned this from a tourist guide to New Orleans : if a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away from you…. chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or purse than you and he will go for the wallet/purse. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!
3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car: Kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy. The driver won’t see you but everybody else will. This has saved lives.
4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping,eating, working, etc., and just sit (doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc. DON’T DO THIS! The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side,put a gun to your head, and tell you where to go. AS SOON AS YOU CLOSE the DOORS , LEAVE.
5. A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot, or parking garage:
a. Be aware: look around your car as someone may be hiding at the passenger side , peek into your car, inside the passenger side floor, and in the back seat. ( DO THIS TOO BEFORE RIDING A TAXI CAB) .
b. If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger door. Most serial killers attack their victims by pulling them into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars.
c. Look at the car parked on the driver’s side of your vehicle, and the passenger side. If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back into the mall, or work, and get a guard/policeman to walk you back out. IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)
6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. (Stairwells are horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot).
7. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times; And even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN!
8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP IT! It may get you raped, or killed. Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking, well educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting women. He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often asked “for help” into his vehicle or with his vehicle, which is when he abducted his next victim.
Send this to any woman you know that may need to be reminded that the world we live in has a lot of crazies in it and it’s better safe than sorry.

I LEARNED RECENTLY THAT PLATO WON THE GOLD MEDAL IN THE OLYMPICS FOR WRESTLING THREE TIMES. THIS PUTS A NEW PERSPECTIVE ON THINGS. I ALWAYS IMAGINED PLATO TO BE FRAIL AND MISSHAPEN BUT HE MUST HAVE BEEN FRICKEN RIPPED. I WONDER IF ARISTOTLE EVER FELT ANXIETY ABOUT GETTING PHYSICALLY (I.E. NOT JUST METAPHYSICALLY) DISMANTLED BY PLATO. PLATO WAS PROBABLY PISSED OFF BY AT LEAST A HANDFUL OF QUESTIONS ARISTOTLE ASKED HIM. ARISTOTLE WAS A LITERAL GENIUS TOO. IMAGINE PLATO LECTURING AND WRITING ON A BLACKBOARD AND ARISTOTLE THROWING A COMMENT OUT THERE ABOUT SOME COMPLEX MISSTEP IN PLATO’S LOGIC AND PLATO’S CHALK JUST SNAPS AND ARISTOTLE’S TESTICLES SUCK WAY BACK UP TO WHERE THEY DROPPED FROM, THEN PLATO IN A BLUR APPEARS BESIDE ARISTOTLE SITTING AT HIS DESK AND HE PICKS HIM UP AND SUPLEXES HIS MACEDONIAN ASS.
🎈Happy Birthday Jason!!🎉
I think we should normalize nico smelling rancid. I read so many fics that are like “he smells like roses and ash~” literally how he hasn’t showered in three months and has been wearing the same jacket since he was 12.
Like when they find him in the jar, he most definitely did not smell good.
When they came home finally to defeat gaea? Oh he smelled HORRIBLE. Not only did he have the smell of blood, sweat, monster guts, dirt and mud- he also had whatever the fuck coach hedge put all over his body to keep him alive. Mother fucker probably smelled worse than a boys locker room during football season.
When he got to camp will probably took one damn sniff after patching up all his wounds and fucking fainted on the ground. The only reason the other seven + reyna and hedge didn’t react to his stank was because they too all had not showered in weeks. Percy and Annabeth went to TARTARUS they probably smelled RANK. Nico did too and even though he was in that damn jar he was probably sweating pro-fuckin-fusely like imagine being locked in a tiny space while you’re in literal hell.
Plus he’s depressed. Just adding that in there.

Absolutely no one:

ZoLu is such a Luffy-positive ship, I really can't fathom people actually trying to argue that it's disrespectful, wrong, or "icky" to ship him with Zoro, of all people. Like that's his person! Ship ZoLu platonically, romantically, as a QPR, whatever. They are wholesome and healthy and they fit together perfectly! You're not doing anything wrong by recognizing that.
