For Now At Least - Tumblr Posts

I have to say something about this because it is really starting to piss me off and I need to rant about this to get it off my chest, so warning for long post ahead! And I apologize if I seem all over the place, I'm writing this sleep deprived and have nothing but rage fueling me at this point.

The fact that people are getting so upset about Disney putting a scene about a girl going through her first period is so fucking stupid. And everytime I hear them trying to make an argument against it, it physically hurts to listen to it.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, Disney's newest show, "Baymax!" which is a spinoff series of the movie "Big Hero 6", has a 1 minute and 30 second scene where Baymax helps a young unprepared, confused and scared girl, who is stuck in a public bathroom, get through her first period. Baymax leaves to get her menstrual products to help but is uncertain as to what exactly he should get for her. He asks for help and people nearby gives him different options to choose from. Still unsure as to what to get for her, he buys a large variety and gives them to the girl. The scene is basically Baymax helping a young girl who's going through puberty and is experiencing a natural body function but is uncertain in how to handle it.

And people are complaining about the fact that children are being exposed to such "sexualized content". Bro, wtf do you find sexual about a period? It's a part of puberty, something that every person goes through. The only people who think this way are the sick bastards who sees girls/women as nothing more than sexual objects and that a period is an indicator that the girl is "ready to reproduce".

To start off, periods are not an adult topic. It's not something that should be censored for children. Girls aren't getting periods when they're 18 years old, when they've become "fully grown women". They're getting them while they're still young children. The average age that a child gets their first period is around 16, at the latest, and 10, at the earliest. Not to mention that the recommended age that you're child should learn about them is when they're 8 at the latest because there are cases where they can get them as young as 8.

People claim that Disney "went too far" by putting such a topic in one of their shows and are now refusing to watch anything of Disney's except for their earlier works since they're much more "child friendly". Like, bro, no they're not!

For example;

- They're ok with their child watching The Lion King, THE LION KING; a movie where the villain explicitly states that he plans on killing his own brother and child nephew for selfish reasons.

- A movie where you see a character literally being thrown to his DEATH, followed by a scene where his son finds his corpse ON SCREEN and begins to cry and cuddle up to said corpse.

- A movie where the villain blames the CHILD for the death of his father, telling him to "Run away and never return!", before sending a group of hyenas to KILL HIM.

A movie where multiple animal skeletons are shown onscreen more than once. Where in one scene where the villain grabs a fucking skull and sings a little diddy to it. FUN!

- A movie where the ending shows the shadows of the villain literally being mauled to death and presumably eaten by a pack of hyenas.

Yet despite all that, The Lion King is considered a "classic children's" movie that parents have no problems with showing their child. But the second a TAMPON is on screen, THEN they're worried about their child's "innocence".

"BuT mY cHiLd DoEsN't WaNt To SeE a ScEnE aBoUt PaDs!¡!¡"

Well, I'm pretty sure they also didn't want to see a scene where a guy gets fucking murdered by his own brother yet you have no problems with them watching that now do you?

"LeTs BoYcOtT dIsNeY!¡!¡"

Oh what's next, you're gonna boycott fucking Wal-Mart for also having menstrual care products? Go up to the store manager and demand to have them remove the entire aisle because your child might see it and get traumatized??

"cHiLdReN sHoUlD bE lEfT tO jUsT bE cHiLdReN!¡!¡"

Oh so 10 year old girls all of a sudden stop being children once they get theirs. Nothing is stopping them from being kids why are you keen on gatekeeping information form them?

"ThEy ShOuLd Be LeFt OuT oF aDuLt SiTuAtIoNs!¡!¡

Periods concern children too since they start when, surprise surprise, you're still a child.

"tHeY wOuLdN't UnDeRsTaNd!¡!¡"

By the time they're 6 or 7 years old, most kids can understand the basics of periods. And if they can understand murder and death they can understand periods.

"Oh BuT gIrLs ArE tAuGhT tHiS bY oThErS, wHy DoEs It NeEd To Be ShOwN oN tV!¡!¡"

If they already know about why tf are you so pissed about them being shown it? They're also taught about death and such and you have no problems with murder being shown in the movies. Why is this so different?

"dIsNeY sHoUlDn'T bE tRyInG tO pArEnT oThErS cHiLdReN, tHeY'lL kNoW aBoUt It WhEn ThEiR pArEnTs DeCiDe ThEy ShOuLd KnOw AbOuT iT!¡!¡"

That's like getting mad at someone for teaching your 2 year old how to walk before you decided that they were "ready to learn". If your child has to learn something like what periods are from a kids show before you teach it to them, then you've done a shit job in parenting your child. Maybe you should actually educate your child instead of constantly shoving them in front of a TV screen.

"DiSnEy HaS bEcOmE tOo WoKe!¡!¡"

Since when has having a normal bodily function become woke??

You really want to boycott a show to protect children, then fucking boycott shows that are like Toddlers & Tiaras where they have young, YOUNG girls put on heavy makeup and dance in a fucking two piece.

And the funniest thing is, a lot of these complaints I've seen about this scene are from fucking GROWN MEN keen on gatekeeping important information from young girls. And I'm sick and tired of all these sensitive snowflakes freaking out over a fucking maxi pad. Like seriously, grow up. Properly educate your child so that they don't wake up one day confused, in pain and bleeding everywhere completely unprepared. Educate your children. Actually be a parent.

“Does someone need a hug with” darkiplier and wilford

So don’t know if this is good enough but here.

@monsterinatophat

For all intents and purposes, the Egos were Immortal.

Their flesh could be marred, their blood could drown the planet in red, but as long as they were in someone's thoughts somewhere, even as a whisper of a memory, they would exist. That being said, it was easy for Dark to dismiss the other egos injuries. Did Bim break his arm on his TV Show? Tough, go to Dr. Iplier. The Host is scratching at the empty sockets where his eyes should be? Restain him and sedate him if you have to. The echoing shrieks were nothing against the soft cadence of the piano in his office. His hands swept up and down the keys, weaving a protective tapestry around the room, almost soundproofing his office against the outside. His aura reveled in the sound, gamboling about like wild smoke.

Today, however, there was no such playfulness, Silence emptied out the room when the head ego entered, a laptop clutched tightly in his arms and with his foot, he pushes the heavy door shut. Static fills up his chest. Sitting himself down at the wooden desk he opens the laptop and it shines like a beacon in the otherwise dim room, illuminating the ego. His back is ramrod straight, face deathly blank, dark spots that almost look like rust are littered about his white shirt. His black tie and coat are nowhere to be seen. The screen of the laptop displays a paused grainy security video. Pressing the play button, Dark folds his hands together on the table and leans back.

Footsteps, voices, Gunshots, a cry and then police sirens. Ringing takes over the video before Dark can't bear to watch anymore. He supposes this is the moment when he should distract himself. Perhaps get to work wiping memories, or better yet deleting the damn footage. Maybe ask the Host for a duet or drag him here by his neck to do the work for him. The static in his chest buzzes up to his throat.

He shouldn't, he really shouldn't.

A barely contained growl escapes him, his aura forming a dense fog around his mind and with a single blink the world fades into light and the smell of disinfectant. Stumbling a little to reorientate himself, he does a quick check around the room, the doctor nor the Host are present. While that doesn't make anything better, it certainly allows his posture to crumble, just a little. With quick strides, He checks the hospital beds one after the other. Huffing as he can't find the pink haired ego. His aura screeches painfully, and before Dark can mentally smack himself to get back under control, a soft groan echos from the other side of the room. Before Dark can even think, the world twists around him and when his vision clears there's an occupied bed in front of him.

Wilford has seen better days. In place of his pastel shirt is white bandages that almost match his skin, pink hair stained with the same rust color as Darks shirt. His hands are fiddling with the IV needle tucked into his wrist. Looking at Darks disheveled state, he smiles, eyes crinkling with barely repressed laughter.

"Aw... Darki, Does someone need a hug?"

For a moment, that shocked expression stays glued to his face, frozen as the rest of him. Then, he snarls, moving over to the head of the bed almost predatorily.

"I'm going to kill you slowly, you moron."

Wilford laughs, light and slurred and painfully Wil. The pink haired ego slowly moves over to one side of the bed to make room for Dark as he sits down. Darks' eyes are bright with anger, but underneath there's almost something softer. Gently, He raises a hand Wils temple and sighs.

"Go back to sleep. You can tell me all about the fun of getting shot four times when you wake up."

"But Darki! I don't wanna go to bed!"

It's immature and dramatic and everything Dark has wanted to hear since he got Googles alert about Wilford. A smile breaks through Darks anger, soft and seemingly out of place on the monochrome ego as Wilford pouts and groans. Deep down, Dark knows what this is about. He shifts his legs up onto the bed, crossing them and leaning back against their shared pillow.

"Unfortunately, I need to make sure you aren't going to go out the door as soon as I leave-"

"Oh, so you think I need a babysitter now, is that it?"

"Wil, you have always needed a baby sitter since the dawn of time."

Wil mumbles, voice high pitched and mocking, but nonetheless settles back down. Shoulder to shoulder, Dark can hear how shallow his breath is, how sometimes his arm twitches with pain and once again without thinking he tosses an arm around him. Wilford murmurs something unintelligible and goes limps. While Dark may not have his piano here to fill the silence, the soft cadence of Wils breathing is good enough for now.
