OK it seems if you are fruits or berries this is really really bad news for you otherwise youre fine
“Life after menopause is exceptionally rare in animals. It can evolve only in creatures where grannies help younger family members survive. Only human, killer whale, and short-finned pilot whale females routinely live for substantial periods after they stop breeding. Like humans, killer and pilot whales have roughly twenty-five to thirty childbearing years, then can live another thirty or so. And as Ken’s just explained, some live a lot longer. Up to a quarter of the females in a group are postreproductive. These whales are not waiting to die; they are helping their children survive. As human children often benefit from their grandmothers’ attention, killer whale grandmothers boost their grandkids’ survival. A rather bizarre twist of killer whale society is that killer whale mothers remain crucial to the survival of their adult children. When older killer whale females die, their adult children start dying at high rates, especially males. Male killer whales who are under thirty years old when their mothers die suffer a tripling of the annual mortality rate compared to males in their age group whose mothers are still alive. Male killer whales who are more than thirty years old when their mothers die face death rates more than eight times as high as males in their age group whose mothers are still living. Daughters under thirty show no mortality increase after their mothers’ death. But daughters older than thirty when their mothers die have more than two and a half times the death rate of same-age females whose mothers are alive. Males’ handicaps of the extra drag of their huge dorsal and pectoral fins and the extra food required for their immense size (at around 20,000 pounds, males can be one-third more massive than females) seem to make them reliant on their working mothers for food. Females don’t have the males’ impediments, but while raising young, females may rely on food shared by their no-longer-breeding mothers. Adult females share essentially all the fish they catch, and more than half goes to their children. Adult males share their catch only about 15 percent of the time—usually with their mothers. While no one fully understands their strange death pattern following the loss of a mother, extreme parental care is likely at the root. Toothed whales are the world’s champion nursers. Short-finned pilot whales continue to produce milk for up to fifteen years after the birth of their last calf, likely nursing other females’ young. In bottlenose and Atlantic spotted dolphins (further study might reveal others), some females never give birth. Denise Herzing dubbed them “career females,” because their role in society does not include motherhood. They might be infertile. They might be gay. But their contribution is crucial: they do a lot of babysitting. When Herzing entered the ocean with a visiting nine-year-old girl, “White Patches, the eternal babysitter herself, had never seen me babysitting a young human before. Her excitement vocalizations were audible and electric and she continued to swim around us, eyeing the human youngster attached to me.” (Researchers sometimes call babysitters “aunts.” That’s precisely who they often are.)”

this sims 2 ad has like such deep gay energy to it. Like this feels like queer history to me
The funny thing is that it wasn't even an intentional stance taking. They just forgot to code a check to make sure characters genders "matched", resulting in that characters could get into relationships regardless of gender.
What the hell are you talking about? They didn't forget anything. A programmer for the sims 1 was a gay man who programmed gay relationships into the game and they kept adding it back, intentionally, in each game.
Actually, you’re both correct. It was an accident and a deliberate decision by one gay developer:
“During The Sims’s protracted development, the team had debated whether to permit same-sex relationships in the game. If this digital petri dish was to accurately model all aspects of human life, from work to play and love, it was natural that it would facilitate gay relationships. But there was also fear about how such a feature might adversely affect the game. “No other game had facilitated same-sex relationships before—at least, to this extent—and some people figured that maybe we weren’t the ideal ones to be first, as this was a game that E.A. really didn’t want to begin with,” Barret told me. “It felt to me like a fear thing.” After going back and forth for several months, the team finally decided to leave same-sex relationships out of the game code.
When Barrett joined the company, in October, 1998, he was unaware of the decision. A fortnight into his new job, he found himself with nothing to do when his supervisor, the game’s lead programmer, Jamie Doornbos, took a short vacation. Jim Mackraz, Barrett’s boss, needed a task to occupy his new employee, and he handed Barrett a document that outlined how social interactions in the game would work; the underlying rules for the game’s A.I. that would dictate how the characters would dynamically interact with one another. “He didn’t think I could handle it with Jamie off on vacation, but he figured that at least I’d be out of his hair,” Barrett told me. “Neither he nor I realized that he’d given me an old design document to work from.”
That design document predated the decision to exclude gay relationships in the game. Its pages described a web of social interactions, in which every kind of romantic relationship was permitted. That week, Barrett confounded the expectations of his disbelieving boss. He successfully wrote the basic code for social interactions, including same-sex relationships. “In hindsight, I probably should have questioned the design,” Barrett, who is gay, said. “But the design felt right, so I just implemented it. Later, Will Wright stopped by my desk,” Barrett said. “He told me that liked the social interactions, and that he was glad to see that same-sex support was back in the game.” Nobody on the team questioned Barrett’s work. “They just pretty much ignored it,” he said. “After a while, everyone was just used to the design being there. It was widely expected that E.A. would just kill it, anyway.”
In early 1999, before E.A. had a chance to kill the design, Barrett was asked to create a demo of the game to be shown at E3. The demo would consist of three scenes from the game. These were to be so-called on-rails scenes—not a true, live simulation but one that was preplanned, and which would shake out the same way each time it was played, in order to show the game in its best light. One of the scenes was a wedding between two Sims characters. “I had run out of time before E3, and there were so many Sims attending the wedding that I didn’t have time to put them all on rails,” Barrett said.
On the first day of the show, the game’s producers, Kana Ryan and Chris Trottier, watched in disbelief as two of the female Sims attending the virtual wedding leaned in and began to passionately kiss. They had, during the live simulation, fallen in love. Moreover, they had chosen this moment to express their affection, in front of a live audience of assorted press.”

What I love about Nell and Jules being soulmates is that they were actually on the verge of getting divorced. Yes, they are soulmates, they complement each other, they truly see one another (really see each other, because they’re honest, open, and have total communication, which is exactly what Rachel criticises Nicky for lacking), and they accept each other as they are. But that doesn’t guarantee a perfect marriage.
Marrying your soulmate doesn’t make a relationship perfect. It doesn’t mean there won’t be problems, or that it won’t require work, or that it won’t go through crises or even that it couldn’t end. What it does mean is that you’ve found someone who sees you and accepts you as you are, even when you’re a mess. But from that point on, you still have to build the relationship, work on it, maintain it, and understand that just because that person sees and accepts you doesn’t mean the path will be easy or perfect. If anything, it means that even in the worst crises, you’ll always be able to rely on each other, because at the end of the day, you’re partners. Jules even said it himself, before anything else, Nell was his friend, and that’s one of the keys.
Honestly, I love that instead of portraying the only couple that actually “makes it” as some idealised, perfect relationship, they’re shown as something much messier, full of issues, even a bit dysfunctional. Finding your soulmate doesn’t mean anything if you’re not constantly putting in the work.
Ok but like, Jules and Nellie are soulmates
Rachel and Nellie bonded pretty quickly and Nellie immediately helped her with the curse and believed her and also they made out
Rachel and Jules share like the biggest trauma of their life?? Jules was literally there the moment she was born?? and also immedialtely believed her and tried to help with the curse
So what if... what if all three of them are soulmates 👉🏻👈🏻?? What if they just raise Jude as a funny cursed little polycule 👉🏻👈🏻🥺🥺
And also Jules ends up with both his brother's exes wouldn't that be funny
i'm sure at some point in his late teenage years nacho felt uncomfortable chilling at domingo's or sleeping over because he would just feel that his parents didn't want him there, so eventually he stopped.
mmmmm tbh I actually think the exact opposite
I think Domingo’s parents see Nacho as a second son and vice versa
and the the more trouble Nacho gets into at home with his dad the more time he spends at Domingo’s house and his parents are absolutely happy to have him there so I can't conceive him thinking he's not welcomed
maybe I’ve been influenced by the fanfic Something Unattainable lolol (highly recommended reading)
if Nacho stops going to mingo’s house as often I don’t think it’s because he feels like he’s bothering his parents but it’s more about age: everyone has their own life, Nacho has his apartment, his girlfriends, and his job, and the same goes for Domingo. I mean it’s a fact of life that as you grow up, adulthood makes you spend less time with your teenage/childhood friends
I really like this scenario too! It's just the tragedy of Mingo's parents being forced to keep Nacho - the kid they've known since he was a child and that they've welcomed for years on end at their house - distant from Domingo just speaks to me more on a personal level.
I think it's rather understandable that as parents, even if you love your son's friend to death, if said friend would start being really problematic, hanging out with the wrong people, you would want your son who has always looked up to him and admired him to not get involved in such things.
That's why I think that very slowly, maybe after Nacho dropped out of high-school (another HC of mine) and began getting involved with crime, Domingo's parents - though heart broken - kinda had to protect their own son from whatever Nacho was getting involved in.
I believe many interventions were tried, but Nacho, being his stubborn self, just minimized everything and avoided this type of confrontation, making it impossible for anyone to approach him. Especially parents. So... if you can't save both, you're just gonna try and save one of them (Mingo), especially if that one is YOUR son.
And yeah, age is absolutely a factor. Domingo went to university, Nacho began his own life... but maybe Domingo should have actually listened to his parents and stayed the fuck away from Nacho when it became obvious that he wasn't going to give up that life. But of course he didn't. And we know how that ended.
OH MY GODDDD I'M GONNA SOB THIS MAKES THEM EVEN MORE DOOMED
I mean I did think about Nacho being a really bad influence on Domingo (even though it’s also Domingo’s fault for getting dragged into it because I doubt Nacho is the one who insisted on him getting involved in the cartel, more like the other way around)
but I never considered that Domingo's own parents might see him that way as well......
ughh my poor Nachito… seeing the people closest to him lose hope in him :( my heart is absolutely broken right now😿
😭😭😭 I'M SORRY, I just love doomed relationships... and I couldn't waste the opportunity of breaking my heart (and everyone else's) with them as well.
And absolutely, actually I think Nacho forced himself to stay faraway from Mingo because he didn't want him to go down his same path (because of course that dumbass is going to do it when he sees Nacho doing it: “if that's what it takes to not be alone/to keep staying with you, I'll do it”. Mingo you're such an idiot 😭).
I believe Nacho really tried to end their friendship on purpose so that he wouldn't follow him around anymore or try to "make him see reason". But it didn't go very well. “You're not going to get out of the cartel??? Okay, I'm joining it too 😅”.
But yeah, Nacho + disappointing people + people just not bothering anymore = my heart shattered in a million pieces
I ALSO THOUGHT OF THATTTTT IT’S SO SADDDDDDD
Domingo thinking about what he could’ve done wrong for Nacho to distance himself from him,and trying to go to Manuel's upholstery shop while nacho asks his dad to tell him he’s not there, when he’s in the background staring over at him and domingo clearly see him AUGHHH MY POOR MINGUITO
And he keeps apologizing a thousand times for whatever he thinks he did (nothing) and Nacho using the silent treatment….I CAN’T TAKE THIS ANYMORE
how does nacho pretend to keep his distance from Domingo when he’s been following him around like a lost puppy everywhere since he was 6??
No please stop, I can't take this pain anymore.
Not the apologizing. Not the “what did I do? Am I not enough anymore? Are the people he hangs out with better than me? Why is he over me when he's still my best friend (my only friend)?”.
Then Mingo makes moves to join the cartel as a consequence and that's when Nacho actually gets mad at him.
And that's where their friendship really starts deteriorating (I think???)

what's your favorite of these sword-related actions/plot devices... 🎤
gifting someone a sword (especially as significant gesture e.g. betrothal gift)
drawing someone else's sword from the scabbard suddenly and without permission
using someone else's sword as a way to remember them after they've passed
you're not worthy of me drawing my sword/it's almost always left in the scabbard
sword with some measure of sentience e.g. ability to jostle/laugh/purr
emotionally significant "may I please borrow your sword" moment
plot-significant sword name change
there are of course one william possibilities and im sure ive left some good ones off... feel free to tell me abt some other good ones and their associated stories 👀

It slaps though
i genuinely can't fucking deal with the larger internet anymore holy shit what the fuck are you people TALKING about. i am at my limit with this stupid bullshit. who the fuck cares if a man is hired to draw medical diagrams for young girls jesus christ we're pearl clutching about medical illustrations now? next you're gonna tell me male pediatricians shouldn't advise parents on their kids' vulva issues? male surgeons shouldn't be in the room when performing a procedure where a woman's breasts or vulva might be exposed? male researchers shouldn't conduct gynecological medical research? sure. better for men to live in ignorance and NEVER ally themselves with us to expand access to sexual education and reproductive healthcare i fucking guess. Twenty thousand likes. i hate it here KILL ME
THIS is the post that got me my first ever anon hate. i'd like to thank the academy tbh
also not related but can ppl on this post being like "yeah STOP being mean to men!!" pls stop cuz that's not the point of what i was saying 💀 i'm not mad bc someone was mean to a man i'm mad bc feminism is being hijacked by bioessentialist conservative Christian moralist bullshit where the goal seems to be the complete and total segregation of women from men instead of like, the material improvement of women's lives. i don't care if some intsta commenter is mean to men i care that feminism is culturally turning into Nu Conservatism
