the lengths people go to in order to reframe platonic relationships as like. the alternative to love rather than just understanding that friendships aren’t just surface level positive relationships but are yknow intimate and emotionally involved are uh extreme
The Dumb Is Real
But then, there's this to consider as well.
Are the people the victims? Oh, hell no. The people are the problem. The system threw them overboard in 1913 and now it's like they have Stockholm Syndrome.
what kind of knots do you have to tie yourself in to convince yourself that men’s sexism makes them victims of the patriarchy but women’s sexism is intentional
had a dream i had top surgery and they just scooped the tit out with a spoon and i was on my merry way
my brain keeps on getting Bayonetta and Bazett confused XD
but omg imagine Bazett's outfit in a bayonetta style?!!! thatd be awesome
i caled into work today and i keep feeling guilty abt it even though i worked 13 hours yesterday and neither of my hands are v working properly. like this is not my fault but i still feel awful for it
gonna nitpick and say “the dualism inherent in patriarchy models other forms of oppression” does not in fact directly translate to “misogyny is the most important form of oppression and trumps all others” and shouldn’t be read as such
Charlotte, over text: How do I turn off emotions?
Paul: First you go to settings.
Paul: Oh sorry I misread that as emojis
Charlotte: No I'm still willing to try! I'm at settings, now what?
Paul: Charlotte no
i think a facet of the “is this ship progressive” discourse that’s worth noting is what the goals of the source text are in regards to the characters and how they fit into the broader ideas expressed by a text, two characters having an unhealthy relationship isn’t necessarily Not Progressive and it wouldn’t exactly be “progressive” to for example go “well if this man who ended up with a Bad Man ended up with a WOMAN instead and they had babies none of this catastrophe would have happened” bc that’s just. outright homophobia.
goddddd that final scene of the episode with the shattering note and then the blade of darkness was amaaaazing, holy shit. the mental image of hadrian standing on this boat holding his best friend's sword, staring at it, considering and reconsidering and then just. starting to fucking *break* it while hella is watching from the shore, consulting the spirits and everyone getting to see a vision but that's where they put the cliffhanger, i am losing my entire mind.
no fences to ppl that use them but meal delivry kits (esp ready meal delivery subscriptions) make me want to die
sometimes im like “meh im not that vain” and then my best friend will remind me of the time i stopped us outside of hot topic so i could “assert dominance” aka put on lipstick so i could be one of the hottest people there
"also gone: the blade in the dark."
i just literally said "Oh NO" out loud, alone on my balcony.
imagine being Lem, that has to be that cold-hard feeling of absolute dread when you realise that you really fucked up with A Thing someone else has given you and you know is really important to them. rip, you funky lil bard.
