this has been plaguing my mind for days
This is basically how you should approach structuring a story btw.

She just knows how to jar beef fat.
Fay's advice to Miranda -> requested by @theheliumtaxi
its crazy that megan thee stallion is not considered a queer artist by some people. the woman is not shy about the fact that she finds women attractive and likes having sex with them. she references it pretty frequently in her music, she made a whole song about enjoying having threesomes with a woman and a man, she made a Jennifer's Body-themed music video, she had Victoria MonΓ©t full riding her thigh on stage at a coachella, and there's literally a video of a lesbian interviewing glorilla at a party & asking who she would date if she was queer and her immediate response is "megan. megan like girls!" and then megan turns around and immediately starts flirting with the interviewer. i don't know what more you want. that woman is Bi Sexual and we should all be thankful every day for that. bi women are still bi when they wanna fuck men too you know. the fucking of men is also done bisexually.
people are out here conspiracy theorizing about taylor swift being a secret queer icon meanwhile megan is out here with ballroom culture, description of gay selfcest, and referencing a specific black sapphic identity
also we can officially say that that megan self-identifies as "a free agent on the ladies side." & after she said she was a ''free agent'' there are STILL articles being "people are speculating but she hasnt confirmed it." she literally. said. she was interested in women and wanted a girlfriend. what more confirmation is needed.
also see this moment she had with yung miami (in an interview where they are just. openly intensely flirting with each other literally the entire time) where megan tells yung miami she'd top her and yung miami says she'd bottom for her. megan explicitly talks about having had sex with women and how much she enjoys it. megan thee stallion is bi as the day as long & if these women were white, if this was chappell roan and reneΓ© rapp, this would have been considered a Major Sapphic Pop Culture Moment.
My toxic fandom take is that I think that it's awful how much we can talk to creators and get answers from them word of god style. We should be out here in a godless place rooting for scraps of lore in the media like truffle pigs out in the fields
I want to write something scary but I don't know if the things that I find scary would make a good horror story.
Part of it is that this feels very unoriginal. "wooooo, capitalism scary!" yeah. we get it.
it's bartleby the scrivener and metamorphosis and prometheus and omelas. "the system eats people. duh."
I keep seeing the vague outlines of a story where there's a cute little romantic plot, it's a cozy romcom, it's people with real problems that people can really relate to that aren't gutwrenching and earthshaking, they're personal and painful and small but people struggle with them and break up and get together again and are happy. And it's a boring story, a predictable story.
And the protagonist's job is to wake up every day and scrub blood off the steps of a staircase that rises infinitely into the sky, which no one ever talks about and the worldbuilding of the story refuses to engage with.
The horror in the story is that nobody in the story notices the horror. This is simply life. This is the way things are. You come home from work and wash the smell of iron out of your hair before you rush downtown to meet that cute guy from the bar for a drink. There are houses in the shadow of the staircase and they have raingutters to keep the blood out of the flowerbeds.
They don't know where the blood comes from. People they know don't disappear, people who work on the staircase don't fall off and die. There's always more blood. It's just a thing that happens, and somebody has to clean it up otherwise the drains get backed up and that impacts traffic.
can you curry anything else or is it just favor
So "currying" a furry animal means grooming or brushing it with a currycomb, which in turn comes from the Old French correier meaning "to prepare [something]", because you prepare a horse for riding by brushing it; it's most commonly applied to horses but you can get e.g. currycombs for dogs.
If I understand correctly, medieval French folk tales considered chestnut-colored horses to be deceitful and tricky; the Old French word for a chestnut or dun horse was fauvel, and so the Old French expression correier fauvel, literally "to brush the chestnut horse", meant lying or being hypocritical for personal gain. This turned into "curry favel" in 15th-century English, and then mutated into "curry favor" over the next few centuries as people forgot about the horse.
So "currying favor" is really "brushing the Horse of Lies", and the reason you can't curry goodwill, or love, or hatred, or even disfavor is that we didn't have Horses for those.
And it follows that we can gain the ability to curry other things by assigning them to Horses.
#google is backing you up on this (via @oldguardians)
I realize, looking back on this post, that regular readers of my blog may have thought I made this up. Making up a ridiculous etymology is certainly the sort of thing I might do; in fact I've been meaning to start a sideblog dedicated solely to sufficiently accurate etymologies, and have a notebook with dozens of them jotted down, I just haven't had the time to do anything with them.
But I want to stress that this is not one of those cases. This is, to the best of my knowledge, the very real etymology of the phrase "curry favor".
The Old French fauve or falve referred to the light-brown color that's sometimes called "fallow" in modern English, but since it also sounded similar to faux, meaning "false", it was also associated with deceit and trickery ; the idiom estriller Fauvel literally meant "to groom the fallow one" but idiomatically meant "to lie or trick people".
Then in the 1300s we get the French poem Roman de Fauvel, a satirical poem about a fauve horse, whose name is derived both from the color and from the fact that FAVVEL is an acronym of Flaterie, Avarice, Vilanie, VarietΓ©, Envie, LaschetΓ© (Flattery, Greed, Vileness, Fickleness, Envy, and Cowardice) - all the different vices that this horse embodies.
Fauvel (purportedly modeled after Enguerrand de Marigny [source], an advisor to King Philip IV) is a sinful, conniving, and very rich horse who has various religious and secular leaders fawning over him and brushing him; it was well-known enough that "grooming Fauvel" came to mean "sucking up to someone powerful" more than just "being evil", and when it was translated into English the grooming was translated as currying, which specifically is grooming a horse with a curry comb [wiktionary]. From this we got the Middle English expression "currying Fauvel", which then mutated via folk etymology (in the "reinterpretation of unfamiliar words as more familiar ones" sense, not the "people are wrong about etymology" sense) into "currying favor".
Curry favor in:
Wiktionary: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/curry_favor
Merriam-Webster: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/curry%20favor
Etymonline: https://www.etymonline.com/word/curry
"the reason you can't curry goodwill, or love, or hatred, or even disfavor is that we didn't have Horses for those."
Okay, so what I've decided to take away from this post, incorrectly or no, is that we can curry anything there's a horse for.
So in addition to Favor, we can curry Conquest, War, Famine, Pestilence, Polution, Death, and various other horses.

once you get over your ass and realise you will never get some people and thatβs ok you are basically immune to right wing fearmongering. otherkin? none of my fucking business
I must not fall victim to disgust. Disgust is the heart-killer. Disgust is the little-death that brings total apathy. I will face my disgust. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the disgust has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
