female hair removal culture is crazy actually bc why are we pressuring half the population into bald mammal cosplay

Shout out to my mom who explains my transition as "Having a daughterpillar turn into a Boyterfly". It doesn't erase the fact I was an adorable little girl, and also affirms my gender now. I love my mother.

i never really considered the implications of the animation where the little knight gets a spell and passes out until i got to the first spell/skill in silksong and hornet just screams in pain. yeah. yeah. if you pass out from it it probably hurts like hell, but we never knew because the little knight was denied a voice to express anything with. this has done no damage to my emotional state at all

andrew garfield saying, “i hope this grief stays with me because it’s all the unexpressed love that i didn’t get to tell her” about his mothers passing is so gut wrenchingly beautiful because we rarely talk about the love we want to express but can’t, not because you’re not brave enough to say it out loud but because they’re not here to listen to it anymore. calling grief the love you never had the chance to share makes it less of a burden and more of something you want to keep and not something terrible you want to move on from. i love love how everything about grief always comes down to “what is grief if not love persevering?”

Doctor Who Christmas special where the Doctor takes an aging tv actor back to the 1960s to see an episode of tv that’s been lost forever because the BBC junked it (he can’t prevent the junking, it’s a fixed point) and ends up fighting alien baddies and in the struggle the Doctor accidentally knocks a whole shelf of film reel into a fire because oh no! Turns out he was responsible for the destruction of the BBC archives the entire time! And then he turns to the camera to wish the viewers a happy Christmas

the thing is is that you'll be like. 11 years old and someone will tell you that you have to shave your legs. either it will be your mum or a friend or a mean girl in the p.e. changing rooms telling you how gross it is that you have hair on your legs. so then you ask your mum about it and she says yep you have to take this razor blade and drag it across your skin under running water and just hope you don't cut yourself too badly and you have to do this every single week and maybe more frequently than that and you have to do that for fucking ever. the rest of your fucking life. because the hair that grows naturally on your legs is gross and ugly and people will laugh and boys won't like you! of course boys have hair on THEIR legs. but that's normal and even attractive and it's just not the same for you. and a few years later they'll say well you obviously should also be shaving your armpits. and then it's your arms and then it's that you have to wax your upper lip and pluck your eyebrows and ewww why do you have hair on your fingers and your toes.. you need to shave that too. and then suddenly you need to buy spray that will make invisible hairs on your face visible so that you can shave that too! and it's expensive and time consuming and difficult and it HURTS but they just say beauty is pain babe! and you're not allowed to say that maybe if beauty is pain then you don't actually want to be beautiful
