Ylthin whines on main

really fucking irritating how many people think theyve invented blistering new social commentary by being like "what if a kink... forms because of trauma and social violence" without ever asking that same question about the sexual desires and practices that they consider normal and therefore natural and therefore not in need of explanation or justification

"oh, you feel more desirable when you're wearing fancy and/or skimpy underwear? don't you realize thats because of classism and patriarchal beauty standards? you dont need lingerie, you need therapy. sign my petition to make wearing two-piece bathing suits in the presence of minors a felony because the people at the pool didn't consent to be part of your misogyny fetish so if you think about it you're really assaulting those kids"

Jean-Baptiste Édouard Detaille (1848-1912,French). Date 1874

One of the best and most prolific French army painter and illustrator. Pictured here is the unfortunate rear guard action of French cuirassiers during the so-called battle of Reichshoffen, also known as the battle of Froeschwiller/Woerth, although that part did happen in Morsbronn. That's just how Alsace is don't ask.

I'll never not laugh at that joke by les Inconnus where they make parody TV news broadcast of every French region and the Alsatian one has the story of a missing kid found days after they disappeared by firefighters from Obersomething when they broadened the search radius to Untersomething a hundred yards down the road.

I eventually switched most of my attention to Magnus' sons over the man himself, but yes. Hi. I can explain in Quite A Lot Of Words why I like Magnus and why I also want to beat him with a crowbar whenever he opens his mouth. Just @ me next time.

quite often its seems like the ones who are 24/7 terrified of being sexpests are the people you desperately want to see/hear more of while the ones who have convinced themselves that they're god's gift to your pussy are the people whose contact names have a :/ next to them in your phone. how do we redistribute the shame here

It's such a Tumblr thing to be like "As a funny goof we've decided to add a fun feature that people like. Enjoy it while it lasts, because tomorrow we're going back to discriminating marginalized users and selling your data."

Not everything the Christians do is stolen from some anonymous pagan culture. I'm sorry y'all but the Christians did actually come up with a bunch of shit on their own.

Like, if you're looking to criticize the Catholic Church, you really don't need to make up fake pagan traditions for them to steal Easter eggs from. You can bring up the genocides.

Oh you mean them killing so many religions and subsenquently stealing ideas from many of them and most of the times they did both so much we kinda just lost track of being able to differenciate ?

Is it really that hard to believe that Christians just came up with the idea of painting eggs for easter?

There are quite literally no pagan sources the record the existence of Eostre. The story about Eostre and the rabbits was probably written in 1887. The vast majority of the supposed Ancient mythology around Eostre was probably written in the 1880s by latent German nationalist writers.

To be perfectly honest, I have never felt more connected to some ineffible greater whole than when I'm tracing the history of this stuff. It is comforting and a bit profound to know that 2000 years ago there was some dickhead sitting in a temple library doing the exact same shit I am right now. It's nice that both of us are idiots who are wrong about everything, but we are doing our best to fix that. It feels close to an act of worship, but not to anything in particular.
