As an Indian, it infuriates me when people hold Gandhi as this all-encompassing savior. I’m not saying that what he did for India wasn’t important, I’m saying that he deserves his fair share of criticism as well. And if...

It is standard procedure for me to go look for fanworks after I finish watching something awesome.
Found a few fics but a couple hundred bookmarks by Veni Veni Vids later, no vids.
WHAT SORCERY IS THIS?
WHERE ARE THE WARRIOR FANVIDS?
watched Warrior today and IT GAVE ME ALL THE FEELINGS.

I just noticed I accidentally reblogged Destiel here instead of the fandom Tumblr.
It’s right above a post complaining about Supernatural’s misogyny and racism.
uh, whoops? it’s complicated? i swear, i just watch it for the slash? at least i gave up vampire diaries? youthful indiscretion?
i have many excuses.
