Maladaptive Daydreamer

Janeway: I’ll just let my entire sense of agency get hijacked by my future self, who apparently has no qualms about rewriting my life choices. Meanwhile I’ll stand politely in the corner while my surrogate daughter and the man I’ve been making heart‑eyes at for seven seasons have a catastrophically ill‑advised hook‑up. Leadership!

Chakotay: I’ll suddenly transform into a pushy, impatient misogynist because the writers forgot who I was and needed a romance plot. I’ll pursue a woman who is emotionally about seventeen and we'll call it character development.

Tuvok: I’ll have a terminal illness introduced purely for shock value, and then I’ll just… sit here. Logical.

B’Elanna: I’ll have a baby and call it a day. No final arc, no closure. Just contractions.

Tom: I’ll miss my daughter’s birth. You won’t even get to see me hold her. Thanks for watching Voyager!

Harry: Who am I? Why am I here? Why did I never get promoted? Tune in never.

Seven: I’ll abandon my entire journey toward individuality because apparently I need a man to validate my humanity. And I’ll let him call the shots like a perfectly submissive little lady because that’s what real women do, apparently.

The Doctor: I’ll act pathetic and mopey because Seven rejected me. Seven’s autonomy? Never heard of her.

A good video that accurately explains why stud is a term used for black lesbians only, not white, not poc, BLACK

the person in the video is a fem presenting black person in their car. they say “i love that you asked, lemme give you a little history lesson. full disclaimer, no hate to the commenter, i’m just giving everybody a bit of a debrief! now firstly, let’s talk about where the term stud actually comes from.

back in the days of slavery, when people still used to refer to us as animals, black people that were taller were known to be stronger because they could do more work. so down in the south, they started comparing us to horses. that then coined the term[s] studs for men, and stallions for females. like megan thee stallion. it was really big in the south. to compare us to animals.

but enough about the bleach brigade, let’s actually get back into the history. as you know, or if you don’t know, black women were not able to enter the working class until well into the 1960s. before then, there was a small populous of women that were still working, even though they technically were not supposed to.

‘how was it possible?’ these women would be dressing more masculine—using binders in order to help put down their chests, dressing more in a male form—and because of the fact that most bleach bandits believed that we, as black women, were already masculine, they got away with it. thus coining the term, in the black community, “stud.” because all the dudes knew, but she was one of the guys. so what did it matter?

any time the chlorine community would come up to black people and be like “hey! is that a female working!?” the guys would just save her and be like ‘nah, that’s a stud right there.” it was joke to them because they all knew. but as times changed and slang did too, the black community still keeps it close at heart. and yes, it was rooted in racism, but we’re taking it back for ourselves.
