Jayce: I have a new science headcannon!
Viktor: Can't you just say hypothesis like a normal person?
Jayce:
Jayce: So anyways, my science headcannon is...
Jinx: Vi's my sister, not yours. You will never be her sister!
Caitlyn: ...
Caitlyn: You have severely misread the situation.
working full time is terrible why do we just accept that having 8 days off a month is normal and okay........ being alive could be cool but we waste it at our JOBS.... sorry iโm just heated about capitalism again iโll be fine
8 days....never thought about it like that ๐
This seems really whiny to me. Like, I agree with you, work sucks, but our ancestors didnโt get to browse tumblr at their desks or have the option to gleefully spend their ENTIRE WEEKENDS horizontal on the couch stuffing their faces/watching tv/playing video games/wacking off.ย They didnโt have weekends. They just slaved away as fucking peasants from dawn to dusk until they died in childbirth or got the consumption.
I am perfectly happy working 8 hrs a day because I donโt have to:
grow my own food
find my own clean water
heat my house
shit in the woods
Hi, I study social and cultural anthropology. Humans working 40+ hours a week is 100% an industrial revolution thing and was not normal in the early stages of our existence. In fact, hunter and gatherer societies that still exist to this day spend about 15-20 hours a week TOPS working. The rest is dedicated to sitting around and telling stories and jokes, dancing, singing, eating, sleeping, fucking and so forth. Read a damn book.
Medieval peasants lived grueling, terrible lives. But their vacation days beat out the policies now common even in progressive societies.
๐ค๐ฌ๐ก
When the medieval peasant - the iconic, screwed over, worst off person of pop culture - had more days and time off than you, somethingโs gone wrong. And apparently something has been wrong for a while now...

Lan Wangji moodboard |ย For Anon
one of my fave Jingyi moments from the novel that didnโt make it into the live-action.
The type of the mother Iโm trying to be. Not just encourage bodily autonomy, but reward displays of it, even when it might make someone else in the room uncomfortable.
Iโve made so many people uncomfortable in supporting my daughterโs personal space. People will try to hug her, sheโll sometimes say โNo, thank youโ and the adult will look at me to make her do it, but I just say โItโs ok honey, you donโt have to hug anyone you donโt want to.โ It makes people irrationally huffy, making me feel even more justified in supporting my daughterโs choices. Creeps.
I legit had to mom-voice some random woman with a โshe said no!โ when she tried to force a hug on Madison. (who was not very good at verbalizing to people she didnโt know/trust at the time)
She replied,ย โI just want a hug, it wonโt hurt her.โ
Me: She. Said. No.ย ย
There arenโt many things more important than letting my daughter know that I have her back when it comes to something like this.ย
I work with five year olds and I had a very long talk with them about permission and that your body belongs to yourself and no one else. โEven if you want to hug your friend, you need to stop and ask if itโs okay and if they donโt want you to touch them, you should respect that choice and not do it.โ they were like โcoolโ and then every time after that they had no problem asking their friends โcan I give you a hug?โ Or โcan I hold your hand?โ Very politely. If their friend said no, they shrugged and went on with their life. They even started asking me if they could hug me or if it was okay to hold my hand when they were sad. And I always ask when they need comfort โdo you need or want a hug?โ If they say no, I ask โokay, let me know what we can do as a class to help you feel better. Quiet time? Do you want a stuffed animal? Sit on the couch? Do you need some time alone?โ They verbalize what they need and they become aware of their own autonomy and their ability and power to say โno.โ Just because someone is an adult does NOT give them the right to hug a child who has said โnoโ or โno thanks.โ Teach then that they own their own body, and no one else is in charge of it. Teach them the power of NO.
^^^^^this is so important
Question about the untamed. I wanted to watch the show to read your fic, because I feel like I am missing something great by not reading it. So do I have to watch it? Also is it queerbaiting or is it really gay?
Ah...I try not to infodump with my stories, but I also try to give a good bit of information about the characters. With MDZS/The Untamed, thereโs a lot of wikis out there that I think you can find out what you need to fill in the blanks.
Generally speaking, Wei Wuxian/Wei Ying was orphaned at a young age and taken in by someone who seemed to have a crush on his mother and was close friends/the clan lord to his father, and whose wife doesnโt like him (the whole โmy husband liked his motherโ thing). He got along well with his foster siblings, though there was a bit of competition with his younger brother (mostly because of his foster parents). Heโs brilliant at basically anything he puts his mind to, self-sacrificing, a huge flirt (but doesnโt see it through), can be brash and arrogant at times (see brilliant), and is a huge believer in justice (which gets him into huge trouble, along w/ the self-sacrificing part).
The other main character is Lan Wangji/Lan Zhan (the courtesy names and nicknames can make things confusing), who is quiet and stoic and on the surface seems Wei Yingโs opposite (other than also being intelligent and very good at almost everything). He lost his mother at a young age and his father was non-existent in his life, leaving him to be raised by a strict uncle and an older brother who adores him. He doesnโt speak or show much emotion (the Lans are WAY into self-restraint), but itโs there. Oh is it there.
Iโll leave it at that due to spoilers.
I know some people complain that the Untamed did away with MDZSโs gay storyline (you can find the novelโs translations online here, they did a great job translating it), but the show aired in China, which does have very strict censorship. They did what they could to keep the relationship intact, and while itโs not explicit, itโs definitely there in a โread between the linesโ way and with certain allusions (the chickens!, soulmates!, the ribbon) and the fact that they donโt give the two main characters hetero relationships.
This may have been a bit rambling, but considering how many people get sucked into this fandom, I think it may be worth your time to read the novel (or manga) or watch the show (just... ignore the terrible special effects, in the first couple episodes) or the even the anime. Thereโs also a ton of great fics out there.
โYour parents are dead, you are not fine, and nothing is going to be okay.ย
This is not news to you. But from now until May you are still Neil Josten and I am still the man who said he would keep you alive.โ
this scene really stuck with me, and itโs probably been done by everyone by now, but i just had to draw my own rendition

So I used to have a Russian friend who had a pretty thick accent and like a lot of Russians tended to eschew articles. She would say things like โGet in car.โ And stuff.
Well one day this asshole who had been kind of tagging along with us asks her why she talks like that because it makes her sound dumb and I still remember her response word for word.
โMe? Dumb? Maybe in America you have to say get in THE car because you are so stupid that people might just get in random car, but in Russia we donโt need to say that. We just fucking know because we are not stupid.โ
One time I was proof reading a paper for a Russian student. As I was correcting her paper with her, the many mistakes in her grammar started weighing on her. I asked her what was wrong, and she said, almost sobbing,
โIn Russian I am so intelligent and clear. In English I am like [an] idiotโ
Respect to anyone trying to master a foreign language. I get so sad thinking about that student.
Full offense but people who make fun of someone elseโs accent or belittle their limited vocabulary when theyโre speaking a language not native to them are fucking disgusting and are just begging to be punched.
Theyโre speaking your language because you donโt know theirs. Thatโs not something they should be made fun of, itโs something that should be commended because learning a language is hard fucking work.
I hate people who do this so much.
notice how โgirls mature fasterโ is never stated as a reason why girls should be given more positions of power and authority? It only works to hold girls to greater accountability than boys and to justify menโs attraction to them.
