Happy Pride Month to those two women dancing together in the foreground of the boat scene in Godzilla (1954).

Is anyone else starting to feel kind of wary about the increasingly common narrative that "women's bodies are so different to men's that modern scientific recommendations do not apply to them"?

Meeting Tsul'reksh was probably the best thing to happen to tyranny thus far in her journey in regards to truly setting up her arc. Her and her sisters were created with the specific purpose to serve the creed, and we can assume she's had no other interactions with demons apart from them. The sisters have more human names. Not only that, but despite them still being obviously demons, they also have more appealing/palatable bodies. They were brought into this environment that is forcing them into a specific mold, and yeah, Tyranny might be aware that the creed is bullshit (she was in on it after all) but she still subscribes to their belief that demons are inherently corrupt creatures with no chance of being "saved". She was never given the chance to understand what she truly is outside of the propaganda that's surrounded her from day one.

Also can I just say how happy I was that Thaisha was in that scene with Yanessa. Because that challenge loud and clear from the Lloy in the campaign about "Redemption from what" was so needed. It's such a corrosive idea coming from the Candescent creed that we have all inherently done something wrong, but it's specially heinous to ask for penitence from a people who have been treated as inferior for so long. You will not take the energy of the rebellion, turn it inward into self-hatred and use it for your own good without pushback in Dol-Makjar while Thaisha Lloy is standing right there.

the entire cooldown had me in fucking stitches, but I happened to pause on this exact frame while already nearly in tears from laughing and it fucking broke me.

#yeah this is why i was so glad i took an interpersonal communication class with a teacher that came at it from that angle #it doesn't stop the problem but it allows me to have skills to troubleshoot what the fuck happened #and then make the suckier shit happen less often #it also helps me figure out when im the problem or when someone is just being an asshole in my direction (x)
