When I get bored I take personality tests that I have taken before. Because why the fuck not. That and to see how wildly the current result varies from the last. Like the one classpect test I’ve gotten Sylph of Rage before. And Monk of…something. The most recent result is…Knight of Light.

On another I got Knight of Life once. I guess I can try that one again. See what the fuck happens this time.

Easy Mac needs to stop tasting good. Actually most stupid cheap bullshit food I eat does. CHEF BOYARDEE RAVIOLIS STOP THIS MADNESS. I’ll be a member of the Sangha one day and somehow those raviolis will ruin me. I just know it.

kingcrackers replied to your post: So I finally decided to start reading this Song of…

See, Alk put it best; ‘Song of Ice and Fire’ is grimderp. It’s really dark, but in really idiotic and dumb ways.

And this is why it is amusing so far. I’m just waiting to see what can top the last terrible thing that happened. I mean shit a hundred pages in and we’re breaking out things like threats of mass rape via man and horse? And attempting murder of a child after incestuous sex/plotting regicide or something was spotted? God damn, man. God damn.

Alright you bitch shits, i was going to draw a picture about this issue, but seeing as i’m not going to waste my time on it, i’ll just tell it to you.

this is the yin yang symbol, as you should know if you have spent any time on the grunge side of tumblr. that isn’t the problem,

you see the Yin means Negative, Cold, Evil, the Dark Side of Things, and anything FEMALE.

the Yang means Positive, Warm, Good, the Light Side of Things, and anything MALE.

this is because the Chinese culture is still mainly Confucianism with beliefs, meaning they believe men will have a higher success rate than women.

so next time your grunge ass reblogs the yin yang symbol you should keep in mind that it is basically bashing women

this is grossly misconstruing the idea of yin and yang from a typical western point of view

nothing about this understanding of femininity and masculinity in confucian culture is accurate

yin and yang have literally nothing to do with “good” or “evil” but about complementary ideas. dark is a complement to light. cold is a complement to warmth. female is a complement to male. the whole concept is that they need each other to be complete. they are opposite but equal. if you think yin and yang is about good and evil then you need to stfu and read a book tbqh.

plz stop using our cultural symbols to further your western ideas of feminism

(p.s. maybe you shouldn’t use misogynist slurs in a post about ~bashing women~ tho)

So I finally decided to start reading this Song of Ice and Fire thing and I’m only about 100 pages into the first book and we’ve had multiple deaths, attempted murder of children, threats of rape and beatings, insulting of people for various reasons, devious plotting, and brazen public sex that also came with a disemboweling.

…it’s like everything I’m not supposed to have or do condensed into a hundred pages and there’s more. So much more. Well then.

My name is Wei and I’m doing my dissertation on the Homestuck fandom on Tumblr. More details about this can be found on this blog, on http://vriskandalous.tumblr.com/post/53207410389/okay-so-what-is-this here. And I’m going to need some… Well, test subjects. Sort of.

So I’d really appreciate if you’d be able to reblog this post if you were willing to allow me to use your Tumblr in my study, so that I can follow you. This is especially good for me if you have done anything to contribute to the actual comic i.e. art, sprites, etc etc but if you haven’t, that’s fine nevertheless. (If you HAVE actually contributed to the comic, message me privately on this blog and tell me what you’ve done, because that would be A+ immensely helpful.)

Thank you so much, guys. Hopefully my paper will help get Homestuck out into the academic sphere, because I haven’t seen any fandom studies on the HS fandom just yet. And hey, more exposure is always good right?

By reblogging this post, you agree that I will be allowed to use material from your blog in my dissertation, including commentary, fanart, fanfiction, music, etc. I will give all credit to you on your screen name, and your real name if you so wish.

(also, if possible, please ignore the other post going around from my main blog, goawei! It’s probably a LOT easier for me to keep track of people who reblog from this blog, and consent is a lot clearer. Thank you people.)

Pretty sure nothing on my blog will be useful. I certainly don’t know anyway, but if you can find anything useful then…Ok. I’m certainly interested in this project of yours at any rate! And, hey, may as well spread this around some more…
