Queens, queans & gynes
The word queen is distantly related to the first part of gynaecology and the second part of misogyny.
Itâs also related to Norwegian kone (wife) and kvinne (woman), but theyâre not full cognates.
While queen comes from Proto-Germanic *kwÄniz (wife), kone and kvinne stem from *kwenĹn (woman). In English, this became the disparaging â and now archaic â word quean (slut).

ever since i was a little girl i knew i wanted to put no effort into my appearance
a big part of the anaylsis for ME is that jnj LOVES to take advantage of the fact bfdia and tpot are being created at the same time, while also writing it in a way that, if viewed via season order rather than chronological, there is still clear setup/payoff/parallels throughout, with my favorite being the way pencil is written in both seasons. so like..it logicallt stands that theyd be doing the same with IDFB, right? the season thatll be coming up like SOON soon, considering were about to have our last episode of bfdia.
but the big difference between bfdia and idfb is that its a full season of non competition, meaning jnj has a LOT more freedom to write without having to leave big blank spaces for viewer choice, considering the choices seem to be who is being voted IN rather than OUT, and theyve had ten years to polish this.
i think another fact that is sealing (lol) the deal for me, considering this, is that the lack of yoylecity in the skyline has been fully consistent. like this was something that my friends and i were shocked to go back and realize..its just Not There, consistently. any time post-idfb you can see the mountain, the city isnt part of the skyline, even when they are literally in yoyleland. like its just NOT THERE. the only time we see even some semblance of it post idfb is in the paper towel short, which seems to take place just before bfb...which only has the yoyle needy in it. like nothing else. none of the rest of the city skyline, it is JUST the needy. and something about the fact that its JUST the yoyle needy, and then after that nothing at all, is so strange that its like. ok so this has to be intentional right. im not crazy right

I really fuck with these arabic logos of ikea stylised to look like little house interiors
New BFDIA episode is great, but sometimes I just have to wonder what the writing process is like for some of the weirder segments.
Like...who came up with the idea for the teeth-brushing bit? How was that a thought that entered someone's mind, was proposed to the writing team, added to the script, and fully animated and voice-acted?
I NEED to know who approved the "color donation" scene in the BFDIA finale. I think it's just something about Nickel that makes the writers want to subject him to the most bizarre nonsense.
THANK YOU BFDIA for 13 years of an amazing and incredible series i cant believe its finally over im going to miss this season but im so happy to have been apart of it... so now i ask... do you love the colour of BFDIA?
I never actually heard the Kars4Kids jingle until just now and tbh with that tune I am not surprised it was a haredi charity. It sounds like many of the children's jingles you'd hear on Naki Radio or something.
Idk if I have any frum or OTD ppl still following me but it's not just me, right? (Obvs it's still shady advertising but)
I had known the Kars4Kids jingle since I was like 5 and learned just last week that it was a charedi charity
LOL I went to an Oorah-affiliated school for a hot minute, and my parents made sure I was Well Aware
Thesis statement: The popularity of "found family" is a great thing, especially as it celebrates the importance of non-biological, non-romantic relationships. However, an overemphasis on this relationship model can lead us to undervaluing philia in favor of storge, in much the same way that an overemphasis on shipping can lead to undervaluing philia in favor of eros. It can also lead to an erasure of the differences between philia and storge, treating these two types of love as interchangeable instead of celebrating the distinctive aspects of each.
...Yeah, this could definitely be an Entire Literal Essay, actually. This is...not the short version, but it is the shortest I can manage.
So my main thought is that Friendship is the hardest form of love for our culture to see as distinct and important in its own right, and âfound familyâ often (though not always) ends up as a sort of...middle ground between that point and the âOnly Romance Is Importantâ idea. In a ship-dominated culture, Friendship is often reduced to Level 1 Romance, andâat least in some waysâa found-family-dominated fandom culture can end up reducing Friendship to Level 1 Family.
In practice, I think that....even when we know that we donât see or want to see an important relationship as Romantic, a lot of us still struggle with the idea of Friendship by itself being equally valuable or important. So we equate âfamilialâ with âimportantâ (because family is undeniably as important as romance, right? Or at least itâs a lot easier to make that caseâand also, there is the not-at-all-insignificant benefit that it marks your view of a relationship as CLEARLY platonic!), and then we try to fit every relationship we love into a clearly-labeled Family-Shaped Box, in order to affirm its importance and give it legitimacy that âjust friendshipâ might not.
...which is, ironically, what shippers are sometimes doing when they seem to be putting every relationship they love into a Romance-Shaped Box for the same reason. Thatâs the highest-status box there is! Donât you think this relationship deserves the highest Relationship Rank??
But Friendshipâphilia, using the Greek word (or at least using it as C. S. Lewis uses itâisnât a weaker form or âfirst stageâ of other loves. Itâs its own form of love. Not lesser, but different. And if we keep following our instinct to âlegitimizeâ it by conflating it with family/storge, we end up doing both kinds of love a disservice.
(And I am definitely including myself in the group of people with this instinct! Thereâs a fandom Iâve gotten into recently thatâas not infrequently happensâhas a central relationship you could easily consider âfather-son,â âbest friends,â or a mixture of the two, and thereâs variance within the fandom. I personally view this relationship pretty much purely as âbest friendsâ in my own interpretation, but...a few years ago, I would have been much closer to the âfather-sonâ camp. And even though Iâve consciously changed my approach to character relationships over those last few yearsâmainly due to a variety of other fandom exposures over the past few years, and the pro-friendship opinions Iâve formulated while thinking about themâI still have some of those pro-familial instincts I entered fandom with! Theyâre very much what I came here with, and even though I now like other approaches better, theyâre still in my brain.)
The disservice to philia comes in the fact that we are still not celebrating it as a non-romantic, non-familial form of love in its own rightâwhich stinks, because itâs great!! and important to humans!! and we should all appreciate how wonderful Friendship is without feeling like we have to turn it onto another kind of relationship once it passes some Importance Threshold. Itâs also a less-important disservice to specific fictional relationships that we try to fit into a Family Box and maybe end up misrepresenting or oversimplifying in the process.
The disservice to storge comes in the fact that, with the label of âFamilyâ so highly valued in itself, it tends to get overused and slapped on everything until itâs started to lose all distinctively familial meaning. It becomes harder for us to explore the depths and beauties of distinctively familial love when weâve lost the verbal distinction between ârelationships founded upon specifically familial roles, a strong shared background, and/or an unchosen yet unbreakable connectionâ (which is how I would identify storge relationships just off the top of my head) and the âfound familyâ definition of âany group of people who love each other not-exclusively-romantically and arenât related.â
Personally, I kinda miss alternative labels like TVTropesâ âTrue Companionsâ or âPlatonic Life Partners.â Characters donât need to be spouses or siblings to be important to each other. They can be solely and purelyâthough not âjust!ââfriends.

stop. analyse that text through the lens of its author's intentions and original historical context. okay now take the author out back and kill them dead and analyse that text as though it were published by your mutual yesterday and is in direct conversation with the contemporary discourse that's most relevant to your life. okay now pick your favorite angle of interpretation and come up with the strongest possible argument against it. now imagine that the text is your best friend and that it means you well and that you naturally give it every benefit of the doubt because you're on its side and you want the best for it. now imagine that the text wants you dead and it'll eat you if you don't eat it first. now pretend that you found this text locked away in a cave with no evidence of when or where it came from and you have to divine its meaning solely through its internal coherence and nothing else. okay now address the elephant in the room aspect of the text you've been ignoring because you find it boring or confusing or uncomfortable and become the number one expert on it. now spend forty minutes assigning all the characters dnd classes with at least three sentences of reasoning each. okay now do the cha cha slide.
When will my friend Dungeon Meshi return from the war......... ...
An ace friend once described themselves to me as "asexual not because I'm sex-repulsed or sex-disinterested, asexual because the kind of sex I want to have isn't physically possible yet" and that's lived rent-free in my brain ever since
It occurs to me that (Ryland) Grace is one of very few male characters I can think of who go by a feminine name in the story. There are plenty of female characters who use masculine or neutral nicknames or last names, but not vice versa. We need more of those I think

I think one of my all time favorite takes is that sheidim used to exist, but then the Rambam paskened that they donât, and well, he is the Rambam
And where did I find this masterpeice of halakhic theory? In a Yeshiva World News forum, of course
It's a common enough idea - I think it may have come from Jason Ish? But I don't remember exactly.
I know I just reblogged another leg of this post, but I just had to sit here and take the psychic damage of seeing Jason Ish in the wild, so you all do too
girl who do you think introduced the population to the jumblr ecosystem
Interesting implications re: the pronunciation of "Jumblr"
