I thought it was a good idea at the time

i think it is important to recognize the ways in which your favorite thing sucks. i think it keeps u normal

if i was in charge of pitching lesbian heated rivalry i'd do a c4t kickboxing drama. young upstart black british muay thai fighter gets her shit knocked in by some racist female conor mcgregor type. retreats to thailand to lick her wounds and train for the comeback. she meets a woman in bangkok recovering from surgery who's like you know i used to be a champ and the girl is like i've never heard of you and she's like yeah i was a men's kickboxing legend but they kicked my ass out when i transitioned. now i'm bitter and jaded and would love nothing more than to make you my avatar of vengeance against the establishment that used me up and ruined my life. this club has everything: 1) antiracist revenge arc 2) toxic coachplayer lesbianism 3) neopussy 4) 30 year minimum age gap and you better believe they fuck NASTY. does anyone have several million dollars i can borrow to make this

they should breed dogs that bark at 1/5th volume and with a deep and soothing resonance that calms the nervous system

One of the most famous moments of the text???? Difficult to translate???????? Literally a moment that shows Oddyseus's smartness as well as his hubris when he later reveals his actual name??????? The one scene every single retelling keeps on????????????

sometimes i talk about how awful it was to feel trapped by my daily makeup routine and how i couldn’t leave the house without putting on a full face and it played a major role in the misery of my high school experience because i had to spend so much extra time getting ready in the mornings and that followed me into my early 20s as well and it was hell and it was so incredibly liberating to go through the slow and uncomfortable but ultimately essential process of getting my bare face back and having makeup be an optional accessory instead of a mandatory uniform. and the response always tends to be ah yes of course, because of your trans and your masculine. and it’s like aha so close! actually! I think if I ended up being a feminine cis woman I also still would not deserve even a second of that shit! I think trans women and nonbinary people and every human alive should have the option to leave the house without a single cosmetic product ever touching their face! but thanks for playing!

and when I say people should have the option obviously I do not mean “yeah you can but everyone’s gonna treat you like you’re frumpy and weird.” I also kinda don’t even mean “you’re beautiful even without makeup!!” because like. well of course i think many people are. some of the most beautiful faces i have ever seen in my life have had not a drop of makeup on them. and that’s awesome or whatever. but it’s also kind of irrelevant to the overall point I’m actually making. really what im saying is it shouldn’t fucking matter if you are beautiful or even pleasant to look at at all! you should be able to just be, all the time no matter what. everyone around you should just treat you like a person who is worthy of respect and fair treatment regardless of what you look like. I am of course keenly aware that that is not presently actually how things work much of the time. but that end goal is what my stance on makeup is informed by. you should never ever ever fucking need it to be treated with decency.

& honestly there's no debate to be had the zendaya earrings are orders of magnitude worse than kim kardashian wearing that marilyn dress. yes that piece was a one of a kind unique textile made so specifically for marilyn monroe she had to be sewn into it. at the end of the day it was a ~70 year old usamerican cultural artefact being repurposed by an american for an american cultural event and everyone involved knows exactly where the dress came from + what happened to it + where it went afterwards. zendaya is wearing the looted (or forged) cultural heritage of a people her government is currently bombing & whose lives they have been deliberately making unliveable for decades to a movie premiere that has fuck all to do with iran. we don't know where those discs came from where they were found or by whom & we never will. AND the jeweller appears to have altered them substantially from their original condition. destroying a people's cultural heritage at the same time you destroy their country + their lives so you can look good on a red carpet One Time i want to fucking hurl

please give her shoulders. i never see women with wide shoulders..
