Yo-ho, Yo-ho, A Diver's Life for Me

And I’d like to thank my Creative Writing teacher for helping me finally put to paper the two best stories I’ve ever written.

             I AM NOT A THREAT.

  • I AM NOT a predator
  • I AM NOT a murderer
  • I AM NOT DANGEROUS.
  • I AM living somewhere that has nobody with the same humor, interests, intelligence, or tastes as I do.
  • I AM talking to your son or daughter because THEY DO.
  • I AMwishing you wouldn’t judge me when you don’t know me.

This is for Jay, first and foremost. She’s 17 years old and received a pair of mouse earrings for Christmas from one of her online friends. (She’s in the Charles/Erik fandom and they signified Charles, who gets represented as a mouse in a lot of fandom references)

Her parents flipped out, ignored the fact that I was willing to have a conversation with them on the phone in order to keep RPing with her via text and email, and completely banned her from the internet. That was months ago, and she still can’t come back. They’ve completely disregarded her assurances that we are RP partners, friends who like the same fandom, and assume that all of us are sexual predators who just want to find where she lives and kidnap her and do unspeakable things to her.

I’m getting sick of this stereotype, I hate that parents assume everyone on the internet is a sexual predator, and their kid is the #1 victim. I feel like this is insulting to the child AND their friends, because you assume that your kid is susceptible and stupid and can’t tell the difference between who is and isn’t a creep.

I’m not saying that there aren’t kids like that, but maybe you should stop assuming your kid is one of them.

We come to the internet to find friends, we come here to find people who like to read and write and draw and make funny faces and horrible photoshop manipulations. We don’t come here to get off, to stalk children or bully anyone.

So please signal boost this, because I want Jay’s parents to realize that there is no reasonfor them to punish their daughter. Not when all she’s done was find friends who like what she likes, and encourage her to write and share her talent with the rest of us.

Okay, let me say that you are absolutely a fucking retarded person. Grow the fuck up. I have no idea what fandom you are in, but you are making them look like a bunch of childish fucktards.

Seriously you are being a creeper and it’s unsettling to a fucking insane degree. 

How did you come to the conclusion that she’s retarded or being a creeper? All she did was explain her side, because let’s face it: parents usually assume that anyone and everyone you meet online is potentially dangerous - which isn’t the case. Yes, there are online predators, but that doesn’t mean everyone is. It’s up to the person on the other side of the screen to discern that.

And the girl is 17. You would think her parents would trust her judgement.

And guess what? People actually do send things to other people because they want to, not because they expect anything in return.

I just… I really don’t see where you’re coming from.

I just realized that I have one month to finish school.

Where the fuck has the time gone? It’s already the middle of May, what the hell.

One month to finish six-seven subjects?

Challenge accepted.

Will I survive?

Probably not, but we’ll see.

Wish me luck, people. I’m gonna have to seriously cut back my internet usage for this. And honestly? I don’t really mind…

18twelve:

A family were on holiday in Australia for a week and a half when husband, wife and their 15 year old son decided to go scuba diving. The husband is in the navy and has had some scuba experience. His son wanted a picture of his mum and dad in all their gear so he got the under water camera ready to go. When it came to taking the picture the dad realized that the son looked like he was panicking as he took it and gave the ‘OK’ hand sign to see if he was all right.

The son took the picture and swam to the surface and back to the boat as quick as he could so the mum and dad followed to see if he was OK. When they got back to him, he was scrambling onto the boat and absolutely panicking. When the parents asked why, he said ‘there was a shark behind you.’ The dad thought he was joking but the skipper of the boat said it was true but they wouldn’t believe him.

As soon as they got back to their hotel they loaded the picture onto their laptop and that was what they saw.

ho-ly shit.

Biggest photo bomb ever. That is so fucking scary.

i just threw up that was so horrifying

I would love this so much, oh my god.
