I think Dunk’s adventures being so insignificant is part of the point. All these conflicts could’ve been resolved without him. The main decisions are always made by someone else. People he protects aren’t important for history, at least not at the moment. Yet that’s precisely why it matters. No one would care if Aerion Targaryen broke all Tanselle’s fingers. No one would care if during the conflict between Standfast and Coldmoat some peasants died. (And considering the complicated relationship between Rohanne and Eustace and that Bennis is a dumb fuck, I think some fight would’ve happened one way or another). And certainly, no one would even think twice about Glendon Flowers, the Knight of the Pussywillows. But Dunk always cares enough to put his life on the line for a bunch of no-names. And that’s what makes his leg worth the prince’s life.

YOU know that drag performers aren’t usually trans people. *I* know that. Right-wingers don’t. The attacks on drag shows are anti-trans attacks.

Most right wing people do not make any notable distinction between trans people, drag performers, crossdressers, and gender non-conforming people, because to them we are all just people who are dressing up as/acting like the “wrong gender”

This is evidenced by the bill currently making its way through the Texas Legislature that says that any performance with minors in the audience where anyone plays a gender other than the one they were assigned at birth would be illegal. There are no distinctions for type of performance or anything.

one important thing that Must be understood about interpersonal relationships is that you have to stop interacting with people who love you like they’re one slip-up away from leaving you. you have to trust that the ppl you love mean what they say. you have to believe that when they say “this hurt my feelings,” that they’re also saying, “can you please love me this other way next time?” and you have to wrap your head around the fact that even if you don’t understand Why someone loves you, you can accept that that they do. true, honest, & open love does not function like hp in a video game !!!!!!
