You're someone to me

It is still sooooooo fucking funny that tumblr, the "fuck that old man" website, the villain apologist website, AND the paranormal boyfriend website read Dracula and went "Count Dracula sucks, we hate this dude." Planetary alignment levels of unlikely.

Sent a 12 year old on a fake Hero’s Journey last week and holy shit he actually did it

it’s sooo hard showing someone black sails for the first time and they (correctly) think flint is a huge asshole and you can’t tell them that he’s allowed to do all that because he’s gay

this is the single best description i have ever heard for a cat

thoughts have to be tilted in order to go into the right part of brain for solve

Fascinating how what's considered feminine and what's considered masculine can change over time. The rebranding of being a horse girl into being a stereotypical feminine girly trait needs to be studied.

Look at classic children's novels. As recently as the 50s and early 60s, being obsessed with horses as a girl was depicted as strange and tomboyish, and the very concept of being obsessed with horses from early childhood and loving toy horses and desperately wanting your own horse being a "little girl thing" and not a "little boy thing" would send someone from the 1800s and earlier into a coma.

I wrote a book chapter about how being a horse girl in Victorian fiction was a transgressive trait used often used to indicate that a woman wasn’t good marriage material. The horse girl, also called a pretty horse breaker, liked masculine coded stuff like racing and hunting and was in direct opposition to the angel in the house type who was perfect marriage material. There are a few novels where horse girls get to have happy endings, but most often they have questionable morals, if they aren’t actual criminals.

gentle reminder that you can’t get this kind of nonsense from any other site
