hello, boluda here

I recall being disappointed that the Hilda/Malthus Bondage dub-con sex scene was only in Malthus's imagination but thinking back I think it’s important that Hilda and Malthus’ first sex scene happens the way it does as one of the main themes of that relationship of humanity and what it means to be human. Through the show Malthus’s image of Hilda as something between an angel and demon is deconstructed for him to see her as a human like him, flawed and whole, and as Hilda slowly discards her clothes that’s what she lets Malthus see. At the same time, Hilda does brings Malthus lower like he says, but not to hell or sin, to the humanity his status as a saint has denied him of, and the disconnect from his own humanity means disconnect from humanity at whole; it is through Hilda’s touch that he is first feels his human flesh, and once he sees her, he isn’t passive like in his imagination but grasping at her, grasping for that burning sensation her touch gave him before

It's always really exciting to me to think about how incas had the most advanced prehispanic music, and how the heritage of the system they had developed is still reflected in andine folk music

This just occurred to me and I'm not the greatest living example of it at the moment but maybe instead of spending so much of our time mourning the "total destruction of native american arts" (not true! many native communities are keeping it alive, and we managed to reconstruct and recover a significant amount, all things considered) we should maybe focus our energy on promoting the art of their descendants who are trying to keep these vestiges of their cultures alive.

it’s actually wild how terrified of the general public most usamericans are. like you don’t realize it if you’re someone who mostly walks and takes transit and spends a lot of time in populous public spaces but then you talk to one of the thousands of people that seemingly never set foot in any public space besides a parking garage or a starbucks and you suddenly understand why it’s so easy for fascist rhetoric about the dangerous alien to take root. this country’s median voter pretty much never interacts with strangers who aren’t their coworkers or people they met on dating apps

saw a post on instagram that was literally someone citing statistics saying public transit is one of the safest travel options out there and the comments were literally just “ummmmm op this is so ableist and misogynistic of you :) don’t you know the average public transit user is a dangerous violent criminal who wants to set you on fire :)))”

it must be so terrifying and sad to go through life convinced if you set foot outside your car in public or interact with people outside your nuclear family you’ll instantly be raped and robbed by the Evil Poors no wonder so many of these people are reactionary tar pits

I promise you things will get so much better when you start processing people’s behavior as information rather than a verdict on your self-worth. If someone doesn’t text back, suddenly pulls away, whatever it may be, the solution isn’t to put on a tap dance for them and try to regain their approval. It’s not to crash out on them and try to force them to react a certain way. It’s just to take a step back, take a deep breath, and assess what this tells you. What’s this saying about them? What’s this saying about you??

Modern society is built upon hundreds of forgotten genocides and massacres, in addition to the ones history has documented. Living today means inheriting a world shaped by the deeds of previous generations and confronting their consequences, whether we wish to or not. The right thing to do is to confront that legacy rather than pretend it does not exist.

I make my body into what I desire. I cut my hair and bind my tits and grow my dick because I am holy. My body is made in my own divine image

I wish irl grinding was as fun as in videogames tbh. Like yeah i need to go to work a thousand times but after that i have enough materials to buy a house. But alas, houses arent real

Scientists have found that if you get 8 hours of sleep and are still tired during the day it’s because your soul is cursed and your body doesn’t think you deserve happiness. There is no cure or treatment

yanqui media is fucking exhausting. interacting with it in any way is a chore. you've got say, a movie, chock-full of references that will be very confusing to navigate when you don't have the context, which is only natural for something coming from a different culture, but for this country in specific, everywhere in the world you look like an alien if you don't know it. I feel like I'm living in the Poob post. "How have you not heard of Dinah Johnson? That's literally Jenna Bogleech. She's in Guns Out 2. He's literally in The Futurist. How have you never seen The Futurist?" but then to add salt to the wound, they go and call this popular culture. like you're the one who's being pretentious for not knowing the things you are currently being made to feel stupid for not knowing. and this would all be fine - well, it wouldn't be fine, but it would be bearable if it was just the one random USian movie that got popular outside every year or so, but no, it's everything. e v e r y t h i n g t h e y m a k e just needs to be playing everywhere, all of the time. and this is not a coincidence either, like, half their fucking soft power budget goes to drowning out our cinemas in yankslop so that by end of each year the most avid movie goers in a given country will struggle to name a single film produced in their own country rather than in that fucking place.

Not me, but @bitchesgetriches has a lot of great resources for many of these topics on their website.

“Ask ChatGPT this and that” like fuck holy shit people don’t want real advice.
