i think there needs to be a lying face down emoji

i’m in tears over this, why do you people think existential dread comes with a full ass out event

Does... does it not?

my best feature is that I'm blindingly intelligent for about 30 seconds a day

I do not get to choose which seconds. they are not consecutive

I know "my dear" is just like, normal bro talk for victorians but will my gay ass ever be able to handle it? No

Imagine if like 150 years from now "bro" ends up having Connotations and the Future Tumblr gays are all losing their minds about how tender classical literature sounds

imagine a giant monster following you around and picking you up and kissing you all the time. that’s what my cat lives with every day

that’s exactly what half the people on this site want

oh to be gently picked up and kissed by a giant monster

This is honestly my favorite thing about TikTok compared to any other social media site that I've been on: it fosters so much amazing collaboration.

BEST. SWORD FIGHT. EVER.

Let’s be honest, this is how I would sword fight.

@warmageragnar Lewis Vs Otranto, a realistic version.

All kidding aside, watch Basil Rathbone’s foot work. He knows fencing, and sets up the form even though he’s still playing up the stage blows for Danny Kaye to flail at for comedic effect.

why does it feel like this is the shit that happened in the prologues of G & S

I realized looking at these that I absolutely still relate to her as a person, not a puppet, and that is magical.

Just remember. There is no such thing as a fake geek girl. There are only fake geek boys. Science fiction was invented by a woman.

Specifically a teenage girl. You know, someone who would be a part of the demographic that some of these boys are violently rejecting.

Isaac Asimov.

yo mary shelley wrote frankenstein in 1818 and isaac asimov was born in 1920 so you kinda get my point

And if you want to go back even further, the first named, identified author in history was Enheduanna of Akkad, a Sumerian high priestess.

Even Isaac Asimov ain’t having none of your shit, not even posthumously.

You know what else was invented by women? Masked vigilantes, the precursor to the modern superhero. Baroness Emma Orczy wrote The Scarlet Pimpernel in 1905. The character would later inspire better known masked vigilantes such as Zorro and Batman.

Stick that in your international pipe and smoke it

I have literally been telling people this for over a year.

the first extended prose piece - ie a novel, was not, as many male scholars will shout, Don Quixote (1605) but The Tale of Genji (1008) written by a woman

The first autobiography ever written in English is also attributed to a woman, The Book of Margery Kempe (1430s).

The day may come when I find this post and do not reblog it, but it is not this day.

Men will try so hard to cover this shit up and gatekeep us smh

Don’t mind me, I’m just here to add the 1,030,993rd note to this glorious mf and repeat: women have ALWAYS been at the forefront of literature and linguistic revolutions. Especially young women in the latter part of that.
