#( picking on a woman just for EXISTING )

[siilvan]

i am once again disappointed but not surprised at the COD fandom only caring about “sensitivity” when it’s convenient for them

#telling people it’s morally wrong to simp for makarov #whilst simping for graves or valeria #or ANY character in this damn series #just shows that you only give a shit about ‘sensitivity’ when it doesn’t inconvenience you #‘but he’s bad :(’ my brother in christ. let’s talk about western militaries #price nikolai and gaz literally kidnapped and tortured an innocent woman and child #the UK and US militaries have DEVASTATED vulnerable countries #y’all wanna talk about sensitivity?? then acknowledge how even the ‘good’ characters like the 141 are shitty! #none of these characters are good people! #i cannot stress this enough. eliminating characters because they’re ‘problematic’ eliminates the entire cast. every single one of them. #MAYBE farah would be safe?? i’m not knowledgeable enough to say for certain. but everyone else— 141. los vaqueros. laswell. alex. nikolai. + #valeria. graves. every last warzone operator. EVERY single character is ‘off-limits’ with that logic. #COD fandom is also horribly racist despite pretending it’s not. notice how people only talk about this when it’s white folks being impacted #no one gave a shit when a middle eastern woman and child were kidnapped and tortured. or when fans were romanticizing cartel violence. #or how the SAS CIA and Delta Force have histories of terrorizing vulnerable people; especially in the middle east and asia #i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again before anyone accuses me of smth false: #sensitivity is important. it can co-exist with letting people enjoy problematic things. the source itself is problematic — #ergo. everything that comes from it (even the ‘good’ things) is as well. #you can’t cherry pick which characters people are allowed to be critical of. you can have your faves and have the ones you dislike #but don’t act like you’re doing something noble when your sensitivity is biased. #sylph.talks

that one bozo who made the gender swapped dame aylin mod: it's unrealistic for minorities to exist in this game because it's supposed to take place in medieval europe!!!!

aasimar, vampires, devils, and dragons aside....

bg3:

#bg3 #thoughts about media #where's the outrage over the existence of a 1950s québécois dish in a medieval european setting? hm?? #canada...canada doesn't exist in the forgotten realms. the land which this country occupies does- but the concept of the nation does not. #also! in the forgotten realms- bisexuality is the canonical norm and gender is much more complicated than just a clear cut binary. #several races have words in their languages specifically for transgender people. #and it's not viewed as strange in any way for someone to be transgender. transition is also super easy- as magic exists. #in fact. it's very probable that dame aylin CHOSE the form of a woman. based on what I've read- the divine can easily change their form. #and devils are all varying flavours of non-binary. primarily genderfluid it seems. it's totally normal for them to change form and pronouns #the majority of elven societies practice total gender equality- they do not see one gender as better/worse than the other in any way. #and bg3 actually does reflect the forgotten realms canon. pretty strongly. in this respect. #the illithid are genderless and referred to as such. your elven companions are all bisexual & polyamorous... #...duke stelmane has this title because it's a canonically genderless title. there is no use of sorceress/wizardess for the same reason. #and of course- your player character can swap gender & pronouns midway through the game and no one will care. at all. #like. for all the terrible problems with the forgotten realms- it's become FAR more aware of the fact that it's ridiculous for... #...a fantasy world to restrict gender and sexuality in the all-encompassing & discriminatory way that bigots demand. #also this isn't ammunition for anyone to pick on people who have lesbian/gay or straight tavs or durges. #my own main tav is a gay man.

If I had a dollar for every time Gege got praised for writing such strong feminist characters into JJK using that dogshit scene with Nobara saying she's strong and still likes being pretty as an example, I'd have enough money to broadcast my laughter on loop around the world as the proper response

#like gege has some interesting women when theyre not being sidelined in favor of the less interesting male characters #but youre picking THAT scene??? Mai killing her entire misogynist family and inadvertendly making a paralell to irl East Asian women #rejecting obligations to marry and have kids in a society that hates them and doesnt want them to succeed on their own? #that nobara scene is so stupid lmao. its a decent way to show the theme of individualism it is NOT a feminist moment #Blonde Literal Who: Existing as a woman in a blatantly misogynist society is a full time job #Nobara: NUH-UH! IM NOT OPPRESSED IF I JUST IGNORE IT! I CAN BE STRONG AND WEAR MAKEUP THATS TOTALLY MY CHOICE AND DIVORCED FROM #CULTURAL AND SOCIETAL PRESSURES TO PERFORM FEMININITY #*dies and gets fridged for the rest of the series* #.jjk #sloot bitches about things

One of the most interesting things about religion to me is that so many people don’t even see the mental gymnastics they are doing to try and shape the biblical texts into a framework that is acceptable in the modern day and it comes out looking like something that none of the authors would have approved of.

#not to mention that they were written by authors at different times and for different purposes #so they say lots of different things #which makes it easy to pick and choose the interpretation that best matches what you want #like the ‘one man one woman’ definition of marriage that doesn’t exist literally anywhere in the Bible #women were property and men could have as many as they wanted #but then once the Greeks influenced them a bit in the New Testament it says leaders of the church should have one wife #so that means the Bible is against polygamy even though every man in the Bible had multiple wives #or the people that say the Bible is against slavery #even though there is literal chattel slavery described in the Old Testament with commands on how to do it #and in the new testament slaves are told to obey their masters #then they say that they aren’t slaves just servants #which is completely false #it reminds me of how so many Protestants are vehemently against alcohol #so whenever the Bible refers to wine in a good context they say it’s juice #and whenever it’s bad it is wine #even though several different words are used that basically all refer to fermented alcoholic wine #they translate them all differently as needed #like how Jesus said sell all your belongings and give them to the poor #then the Bible tells how literally all of the early Christians sold all their possessions and donated the money #and now people say that just means to be generous #and then don’t even leave a tip at a restaurant because they hate handouts

I'm saying this as a woman, an SA survivor, and someone who used to live rural where bears were often seen in the neighborhood.

I hate you man versus bear. I hate you women's spaces. I hate you "women and nonbinary" exclusivity. I hate you "female socialization." I hate you boy mom/girl dad centric discussions about emotional incest.

I hate you terfs. I hate you self defense classes. I hate you "always see a woman doctor." I hate you conversations about make up. I hate you conversations about shaving. I hate you "no cis woman would ever be mistaken for a man because it's impossible for anyone to pass that well." I hate you "women are biologically smaller than men." I hate you "estrogen gives you a warped perception of yourself."

I hate you "womanhood is suffering." I hate you "welcome to being a woman." I hate you "I love women but I would never live with another woman." I hate you "women are just different." I hate you "women are just crazy." I hate you "I'm wlw but I would never date another woman."

I hate you period jokes. I hate you anguish fetishizing. I hate you self victimization. I hate you "no woman would ever do that." I hate you "no woman would ever feel well enough to do that on her period." I hate you "a woman on her period is more hormonally equivalent to a man." I hate you "no woman could actually LIKE her period!"

I am a cis fucking woman and even I am oppressed, misrepresented, and mistreated with these things. I value trans people, trans women, trans men, cis men, cis women, intersex people et al, cis people of color, trans people of color, disabled people et al, queer and not queer people--any person anywhere on any spectrum of identity--more than I will ever value the opinion of a "progressive" person buying into any of this fucking crap.

#another man v bear video came out and I can't even watch it #like i get it we're on this channel to make fun of alpha male abusers with fragile masculinity #but when will we finally separate THEM from the concept of men and manhood in general #because OTHER men need us to a whole lot more tbh #if you 'love' women you have to LIKE women #you don't have to like being a woman but let women LIKE being women #you don't have to give up your self defense tactics but STOP believing the mythology of perpetual victimization. #please just think about how your mindset will help conservative or transphobic or racist legislators justify themselves. #be fucking accountable for your own existence and your own feelings #fucking realize that gender is no longer a polarizing dichotomy when it comes to what bad things can happen to you. #stop treating psychotic people like they're dangerous!!! That was a racist lie from the beginning!!! #please please please please just pick man

I made this blog mainly as a place to store art + memes for my fandoms and doodles of my original stories. I’ve posted a lot of the former, but none of the latter, so… Here you go? Have some goofy “incorrect quotes” inspired jokes of a project of mine called The Name-Oath.

Context is indented and italicized, but you can probably read through the doodles below without getting too confused if you skip it:

The first half of the actual plot is your standard fae romance starring a human woman who doesn’t realize the male lead is a supernatural creature, and just thinks he’s really into cosplaying alone in a mansion in some freaky forest. The second half is rom-com shenanigans between the divorced human woman and male lead after the world's ugliest breakup. He desperately tries to get back together at every waking moment and she just wants to hang out with her bestie Summer and raise her half-fae daughter in peace. The human woman is named Eglantine, but goes by Egg. She got stuck with the nickname during high school and decided to start going by it in an effort to have a more "average" sounding name. This did not work as intended, but it certainly helped her avoid getting her name stolen when she first met the male lead. She's something called a skipwitch. This is a whole worldbuilding thing I'm not going to get into here. The male lead is named Kieran. He is a drama king. He spent several centuries under magical house arrest. He can talk to rats. He has pretty hair. This is all you need to know about him, except maybe the fact that he's royalty. Summer is Egg's best friend, and she is the resident fae expert in her and Egg's coven. Competitive and protective of Egg. She hates Kieran's guts, and the feeling is mutual. Egg and Kieran's daughter is named Violet, but she goes by Froggy. She is a terrifying force of nature by virtue of being the offspring of a skipwitch and Unseelie prince. Enjoys microwave pizzas, her pet beta fish, video games, and getting her way. Alois is Kieran's invisible butler. He's a surprisingly talented singer.

#I've had this sitting in my drafts for ages bc I was too nervous to post it. oops. #That one comic wasn't an exaggeration btw--- Egg DID survive her first encounter with Kieran despite not knowing magic existed #She kept evading all the stereotypical Fae tricks like asking for your name / trying to get you to eat and drink Fae food #COMPLETELY by accident #Like. #“Hello there. May I have your name?” “Just call me Egg dude. Everyone does it." #“Would you stay a moment and have a drink with me?” “No thanks I just want to use your phone so I can call a friend to pick me up.” #Kieran was spent a lot of the evening they met being very angry that none of his tricks were working. #And then he later found out it wasn't that they weren't working because this mortal woman knew exactly how to slither her way past them--- #she had NO CLUE what she was doing. #He is even angrier when he learns this #and his anger is compounded by the fact #that he is developing a crush on the mortal woman who he's been trying to woo to break a curse on himself #and she is not at all wooed despite his best efforts #Like. At all. #His plan to break the curse has backfired horribly. #Oh “Lady Killer in Love” trope how I love thee #stuff by sofie #The Name-Oath #fae folk #fae #faecore #fae romance #fantasy romance

lilliane vaude is a boy mom and thats why she's like that

#she acts That Way to finral bc he's competition to langris. and also his existence is a perpetual reminder that she wasnt picked first #look it's the remainder of the other woman! #tbh though if finral was a girl lilliane would simply view him as competition to HER which is. even more ridiculous #but thats just kind of who she is as a person. #lilliane vaude #black clover

#i know Taylor doesn’t owe anyone her political views or endorsements or statements or whatever #and i know it’s almost assured she’s going to endorse the dems closer to the election #like she has the last few races #but I’d be lying if i didn’t admit i hope she makes some sort of statement in support of reproductive / lgbtq2+ / civil rights / racism etc #as a giant fuck you to all these fucking bigots who want her (and Travis) as their avatars #i know she isn’t likely to really say anything beyond ‘go vote’ #and endorsing her state / pres picks #but it’s just such a hurtful time for so many people right now #and things she herself has said in the past have affected her #that i feel like it would just… idk make a statement or start a conversation or something #i know this is just projecting myself onto her bla bla bla #and again i KNOW she owes no one anything and she also isn’t one to speak out #but if i were her and i was surrounded by these bigots even in a tertiary way #I’d be so fucking sick #(but i also know it’s not up to her to rock the boat re: Travis’ employment so like nothing exists in a vacuum etc) #ugh sorry for the rant but that woman’s statement absolutely appalled me #what in the fucking gilead timeline are we living in

I would love to transition I think? into a man but the idea of learning new social rules and the violence from other men terrifies me so much that I think I'd rather just stay looking like a "weird" girlthing

#if violence from other men didn't exist then yeah id love to be a mna #man #but unfortunately!!! #i am autistic /with possibe DID as either gender #and i dont want to be forced to act like a man in a certain way #i saw a tiktok of a transman having to bend down slowly to pickup stuff/ and intentionally be slower at stuff to just not get #clocked as a trans man #and honest to god i dont want to do that!!!! #i dont want to learn new social etiquette!!!! i also dont want to get treated worse in life by doctors!!!! doctors already treat me badly #in my heart and mind im a man #but unfortunately its not realistic for me currently to be the man ive always saw inside #i feel that trans woman who wroter ill never transition #her and me are the same #anyways #autism #autistic #trans man #transgender #lgbtq community #i mean trans man having to pick up things slowly i wrote this a rush i apologize

i have a weird relationship w the way i look bc on the one hand luckily i don't have very bad dysphoria, i don't get it abt a lot of stuff and it's not smth that's constant either i'm very lucky that way. but also. i know that w my body and my face and my voice i am never going to look a way that makes other people perceive me as what i am and that feels. really bad. but also i don't deserve to feel bad abt that bc i have features that are conventionally attractive. but also i hate them

#its not even that i want to change myself for the most part. its that i wish i could change how other people read those parts of me #the only thing i wish i could change is my chest and having periods and thats partially bc its inconvenient #almost everything else is habitual. clothes/hair/the way i walk and move/etc #but just. the second people hear me talk they read me as a woman and it makes me want to fucking scream #and i have a v round 'feminine' face so like. its that x2. i get read as a teenage girl all the fucking time #and i like those things abt myself!! i like my voice and the way i look #i wish people just. wouldnt assume at all. i wish i could fucking confuse them actually i wish they couldnt tell anything #as a kid i read a lot of 'girl dresses as a boy to do xyz' and i always loved those stories #not bc i /wanted to be/ a boy (trust me ive fuckin questioned that lmao) but bc like. the freedom to pick and move around between #being able to get people to recognize you as what you want to be. being both and neither and smth else entirely #hell i still get a lot of euphoria from confusing people honestly. i cant meaningfully be misgendered bc youre either right or funny #idk! idk. its a very first world problem i know but im never going to be seen as the me that exists inside my head #and i think im allowed to be a little sad abt it #levi.txt

Just got an ad that was formatted like: person in some big country needs organ transplant and a kid somewhere in the provinces went missing and then it followed with a clip of Milei talking about selling organs being a market too and urging people to protect their children from him. Needless to say it gave me whiplash.

#luly talks #the name of the ad was no te comas el cuento (dont eat up the tale) #by the third case i already realized where it was going to but milei still jumpscared me #i hate propaganda im not gonna lie in favor or not it annoys me #but i remain neutral on it like i recognize it deserves to exist #a thing to point out though is how they specifically picked ppl who ''deserved'' what they got #like the first guy was a German (just realized the fucking joke going on) who needed a new liver and his pic was in a bar #second was a woman who needed a heart no biggie there #and third was a japanese i think man shown smoking who did not quit and now needed a lung #and its like they're trying to antagonize the fucking Dying People sufferings from addictions which i think is looow #also yes the girl sharing dead name w me jumpscared me too i felt like that one DiCaprio meme #argieblr #argieposting

Got called a loser yesterday as I was walking 2 the bus stop <<<333

#jokes on them I love being a loser #I get harrassed every time I leave my house alone #no exaggeration #being a woman is sosososo fun #frankly though it didn’t bother me #cause his voice cracked halfway through lmao #and you know they usually only do it driving by since they don’t have to face any repercussions or backlash for being an ass #so it’s this one sided ego boost for them to just pick on an ‘easy’ target #which is in reality even more pathetic than whatever made me a loser in their eyes #which was probably just existing happily in my own skin as a woman #.txt #.personal

reading The American Roommate Experiment and i don’t want to be that person hating on contemporary romances but it’s just so half-heartedly written; i’ve basically rolled my eyes every three pages

#this probably wasn’t a good intro into the genre i probs should have picked up Book Lovers instead #oh well that can be next #why are the leads so bloody obtuse? #this book is masking itself as a slow burn but it’s really just insta love #and Rosie…….pull yourself together woman #they spend more time going on about how obsessed they are with each other based on pre-existing crushes #+than they actually attempt to properly get to know one another #it’s painful #currently reading

I think the reason i used to feel like i had to say "i hate women" is so the type of person who only values "Non Men" will stop with the non verbal message of "its okay if you want to be a woman" Towards me while also entirely ignoring and ostracizing me when i embrace being the man i am. Like it genuinely feels like theres even queer ppl who do this to me, where they dont outright say that they hate that im a man but ignore every time i embrace or feel pride or happiness about being a man or manhood and then only ever give me attention when i act Enough like a woman for them. Like ik some of yall just want me to "give up" on being a man and just be a woman bc of all the fucking terfy anti man shit that floats about like a fart on this damn site.

#having a hard time conveying my thoughts here but if you know you know. #i will never succumb to your passive aggressive peer pressure by ignoring who i am in favor of only paying attention to me when i act the #way you fuckin want me to. #and ik theres someone maybe not admitting to themselvesbtheyre subconsciously thinking 'but it would be fine if you're non binary too!!' #no. it wouldnt. because the way you want me to change is in a way i read as entieely fem. it doesnt matter if you replace 'be a woman' with #'be non binary' here bc the entire message is 'stop being yourself and acting the way you do' like fuck off. #if you're someone whos somehow picked up the idea that you need to 'free people from the idea they have to be men' or 'the idea that #masculinity exists' leave me alone forever and ever. you're literally just going to pressure me out of iding as a dude. go away. #also you're not somehow more progressive for believing that shit. in fact i think it makes you very not progressive and like. #you're a third wave terf or some shit shsjjska

[fideidefenswhore]

There’s a scene in the Tudors where Anne and Henry get into a fight about his mistress and Henry reminds Anne that he can “strike you down as quickly i as raised you” did he actually say that to her? I remember reading that he would say that a lot to anyone who displeased him.

This one, right?

The report is from Chapuys (September 1533), since someone's asked I thought it might be interesting to break down in its entirety rather than the excerpt:

The King holding it certain by the report of his physicians and astrologers that the Lady would bear a son, has determined to hold rejoicings and solemn jousts to make up for (pour regor de) the shortcomings of the last, which were shameful and beggarly, and already some of the Lady's favorites have sent to Flanders to buy horses. 

What does he mean by the shortcomings of the 'shameful and beggarly' last? I suppose it could be in reference to the jousts cancelled in 1516, but if he's referring to the celebrations for the last son in 1511, they were "the third most expensive spectacle of Henry's reign"; so it's an odd remark...

The King has taken from his treasures one of the richest and most triumphant beds (lictz) which was given for the ransom of a duke of Alençon. It was well for the Lady that it was delivered to her two months ago, for she would not have had it now ; because, being full of jealousy, and not without cause, she used some words to the King at which he was displeased, and told her that she must shut her eyes, and endure as well as more worthy persons (aussy bien que vailloient mieulx quelle), and that she ought to know that it was in his power to humble her again in a moment more than he had exalted her. By reason of which words there has been some grudge, and façon de faire, so that the King has been two or three days without speaking to her. No doubt these things are lovers' quarrels, to which we must not attach too great importance, yet many who know the King's disposition consider them a very favorable commencement for the recall of the Queen.

The remark about "she would not have the bed now" is Chapuys' commentary (added to the script for the scene linked above), the report about what Henry said begins after 'told her'.

There's other reports from + about this time (one from the same source as above, just slightly earlier) that are incompatible with this report, fwiw, so...make of that what you will.

#anon #and chapuys' earlier report is what corroborates a later one about august/september 1533 ; not this one... #tudors placed the conversation in 1535 bcus it doesn't really add up in 1533...? at least i assume so #even tho the report IS from 1533 #or maybe it was 1534... #*on the show that is. where they placed it #there's no report of another mistress (which has to be what he's alluding to here? full of jealousy not without cause?) #until well into the next year so it's odd also that that sort of just...disappears from the scene #until september 1534. #the suggestion is (altho it's not explicit) that it was the same woman #'renevewed and increased the love he had for a very beautiful woman of the court' #but it doesn't speak to the pattern that seemed to exist for henry and his mistresses? #ie he didn't engage with one and then drop them for a year and then pick up again #when he was done he seemed to be done. that was what seemed to happen in the case of both bessie blount and madge shelton
