#a fine honest woman

[pratchettquotes]

"Is that so?" said Mistress Weatherwax sarcastically.

"Yes. It is. And Miss Level believes in telling them the truth!"

"Good. She's a fine, honest woman," said Mistress Weatherwax. "But what I say is you have to tell people a story they can understand."

#selfie bee #to be honest my stage 2 was just drawing the same picture of Helena Bonham Carter everyday #I still have the folder #friends not only did I drive a BIKE recently I also drove a CAR #all on my own!! （*´▽｀*） #It was very scary and I cried a few times but I did it #in the beginning I had to do a few night shifts in a different city and there was to other way to get there and in the end it was fine #I wonder what other things I am scared of are secretly fine #phonecalls? math?? （●´･△･｀） #I am actually avoiding math right this moment #I've decided to learn how to sew a skirt and did you know that sewing is secretly math #I did not know and now the skirt is very short and the living room is covered in yarn and I have not done any actual sewing yet #but I will do it and maybe its just like driving and you just have to cry a little and then it will be fine #the only truly bad thing that happened while driving is that I got into a thunderstorm one time #and it was night and there were 300 trucks going to opposite way #I tried to focus on the Lizzo song on the radio but I was also crying #if you were a truck driver and you saw a woman 2 months a go at night driving a car crying while singing Juice! Juice! (´；д；`) #I'm fine I hope you didn't also cry #have a nice day friends!! #I hope you're doing well!! ♥ :) #I will now go back to the skirt

the webtoon may have left out a lot of things but they did yassify the orcs which is the funniest thing to me right now

*sigh* they did yassify the orcs <3

now i want to see what they'll do with the sirens and whether i should be excited or worried lmao

#hey i got an ask #Anonymous #the greatest estate developer #tged #also. can we talk about the elephant on the room. #listen i may be totally be wrong about this and i would love to hear you guys' thoughts about this but. #doesn't it feel a little. weird. this thing the webtoon has about making muscular women look overly scary or rough? #like i feel it's gone under the radar because most of us just went 'oh hell yeah muscular women that shit rules let's go!' #but..... i think that wasn't... actually what the artists had in mind when they did. that. #like for example mellica. she's great i love her top tier character design. but look at her. and tell me the way they presented her #doesn't look like a set up for the audience to go 'oh super muscular woman is scary ha ha'. be honest. #now to be fair! all the elves look buff! like they actually look like people who train and fight and do archery constantly! they look great #so i can pass it off as a maybe a little clumsy attempt to give us more buff female characters it's fine whatever #but then we get to the lady ella bit. and uh. well. #how do say this.. it feels. mean-spirited? sorta?? a little mean?? #not even because i was really looking forward to this arc i'm a big girl i can swallow my disappointments like an adult and all that #but it feels like the joke there was 'ha ha man in a dress looks weird isn't that funny? ha ha men are attracted to him that's hilarious' #especially because they went out of their way to make javier look overly burly and buff while wearing the dress #i joked about it but doesn't it feel weird?? we know javier is a pretty guy he's muscular but he's also lean and almost... delicate looking #when wearing his normal clothes #he's a pretty guy! in the novel he could easily pass as girl with no issues! #and instead the webtoon decided to make him look so big and buff he was almost ripping the dress because of how burly he is? #like clearly the joke was 'this guy can't pass for a woman and it's funny that no one seems realize it and even think he's beautiful' #and they even went with the 'i respect your fetishes' joke which. oh boi. #so i'm worried about what kind of jokes they'll make when we get to the mermaids which are described as really big and muscular #even in the novel. in which there are some illustrations that i still haven't decided how much i like tbh #and maybe i'm exaggerating! maybe i'm being paranoid! maybe i'm making a big deal out of nothing and seeing mean jokes #out of a simple gag with no ill intentions behind it! #but i just. think it's weird. and not really all that funny. and i wanted to acknowledge it cause i felt uncomfortable not saying anything #so i'd like to know what you guys think. i think i need more perspectives on this before i say something dumb(er) lol

testosterone can make ur gums bleed more?????????

#im starting to think writing miss on everything is actually making it harder for others nwbfncjc #dentist didnt even look at me when i was called for (looking for a woman) #said 'hey it says miss on here do u want me to call u.... r u ok with...' #and every time for some reason im like 'yeah no its fine =)' #but later when asking about medication or conditions shes like #'or are u on.... hormones... probably' #and i had to be like. does that make a difference #and shes like well. yea it could and thats how i found out about the gums???? #but also like. i dunno how to feel cos on the one hand Yeehaw lmao the fact she went ok clearly this is a guy. butch wasnt even on the tabl #but if i grow my hair out a lil bit suddenly everything is fair game????? so do i look like a guy or not #or is everything contingent on my haircut... #though to be honest i wasnt sure. which way she thought i was trans #and i didnt want . to ask LMAO i should have been like 'which hormone....'

[countess-of-edessa]

"these butthurt feminists got TRIGGERED by these based trad wives on tik tok" there are no trad wives on tik tok. if your wife is on tik tok she is not a trad wife.

#and like. that's fine. but I'm just saying. #gonna be honest ladies the proverbs 31 woman would not have a tik tok. #I'd say no one above the age of 25 should have a tik tok but neither should young people???so idk i guess i just want it to burn

wow thank you so much

#this is aoa's official youtube. it has 20 million views. :') #also this is the performance version of 'ai wo choudai' and like. God the choreo is . ooughw :( #it is So bland. this is one of The Songs Ever to me. and the choreo is giving Nothing. #it's not even... a decent sexy choreo. bcus this is so rooted in the era of kpop girlies either give cute - sexy or badass #yeah i Know it released in 2016 but aoa stayed true to their roots to the end lol. and 2016 was the tide changing anywya. #honestly the trichotemy was pretty bad but i tended to enjoy anything that fell under the 'sexy' label. the BEst bangers came outta that #(exid i lvoe you. sistar i love you. stellar i love you. fiestar i lvoe you. hellovenus i lo) #and. oh i feel terrible saying this. i would rather have the miserable trichotomy than most groups giving #~feminism~ through the lens of misogyny. it's like. Feminism but make it marketable and tell young women this is Fine #also softcore queerbaiting. #like every Knew the trichotemy was misogynist af. i didn't have to read posts saying that blackpink gave women rights #okay actually. wait. people were genuinely saying things like hyuna's red were feminsit anthems weren't they. okay nvm #i think the bar for 'progressive' is so low in kpop that it is in hell. to be honest. #like we have and have had more progressive thigns in music videos and lyrics in mainstream kpop #mostly from soloists or solo work from band members #moonbyul's shutdown is. clearly about having sex with a woman. #brown eyed girls' abracadabra is okay.... YES the angling is steeped in male gaze #but having a clearly wlw relationship in the mv Was iconic for the era. still is mroe brazen than most mvs dare to be. #also that sistar one where they kill a man together and run off being fruity. #one mroe day! that one! #so yknow. shoutout to the actual icons. #loftwinglullaby rambles #kpop

forever annoyed by the inability to have constructive conversations involving media criticism anymore. I feel bonkers because it's like everything immediately dissolves into reactionary, all-or-nothing arguments that leave me baffled and usually uncomfortable

#personal #thinking about the person who joined the book club I'm in then got mad at the queer and/or poc members #because we were reading a book by a poc author that involved queerphobia #and when this person reached the queerphobic part she just could not engage with it at all #which obviously it's fine #you don't have to read those things #but to accuse everyone reading of excusing queerphobia because we were trying to discuss the context of when and where the book was written #despite the fact we had for like weeks been having very nuanced discussions about this author and his work #honestly mostly calling him a misogynist and queerphobe lmao #despite the fact that a woman from the same area the author was from was there discussing her experiences etc #and then the other side of this is like #you're an sjw if you discuss the implications of how poc/disabled/etc characters are treated in fiction or whatever lmaooo #obviously people don't generally say “sjw” but it's basically what they mean let's be honest #thinking about the person who got mad that I had a rule not to send certain content in a discord server #because obviously that meant I was engaging in (insert shipping discourse) #obviously it meant I disapproved and was being an sjw type #but really it was just that someone helping to mod had trauma surrounding this one specific thing #so when the mad person decided to show me who's boss by sending that content anyway they were literally doing nothing to me #but they were hurting someone else #all or nothing you're not allowed to have boundaries because if you have boundaries it's actually commentary on your stance or whatever #so annoying

This may be considered a very unpopular opinion but...I've tried to imagine like how exactly Logan loves Rory, like what his personal feelings for her are. And I don't mean it in the sense of how he's expressed his love or admiration for her, I mean like how he personally has felt for Rory in ways that isn't just explained through words to her. And I have to be honest: I come up short every time I've thought about it now.

I don't deny that Logan begged Rory to take him back, to the point where he went to Lorelai to plead with her to ask Rory to reconsider for him. And yes, he bought and did several things which were nice, thoughtful and considerate towards Rory in those moments. But I honestly don't think that Logan ever had a scene within the original series or even the revival where we actually get to hear about how he feels towards Rory or even see it, without Rory herself being in the room or talking to him. You know how we got numerous scenes where Jess is back in Stars Hollow in season 4, and both Luke and Lorelai repeatedly mention Rory to him? Or how Jess confesses that he told Rory he loved her to Luke? Or how we even get to see Jess's own reactions to seeing her around town? We get none of that with Logan. And this is actually something that we even got with Dean to a lesser extent, like when Jess comes in season 2 and you have several moments where Dean expresses his doubts to Lorelai. By comparison, the most we see of Logan talking to someone about Rory is to Lorelai, and I can't even take this as complete 'proof' because obviously Logan tried to be "at his most charming" with her when she's Rory's mother and he's asking her for a favor relating to her daughter and his relationship with her. We never get scenes where Logan talks to his friends about Rory, or even to Mitchum about her. And I don't even find this as a fault towards him as a character, I simply find this as a personal fault towards the writing. Even in season 7, I don't think we ever really get this with him. We get Logan talking to Mitchum about his job and wanting to quit, but again, nothing in terms of a scene where he talks about her with someone else (without Rory being in the room). And I don't fully know why, but it's a reason why I find their relationship somewhat lacking. There's just a lot of moments where Logan doesn't even feel fully fleshed out to me because of this. Like yes, I know he loves Rory later on and wants to be with her, but how does he love her, beyond the supposed "healthy, perfect" way his fans repeatedly say? Like, why was he fine with suddenly up and leaving after his turned-down proposal? Was his love for Rory this passionate and desperate to fully have her? Or was it something he felt like was "time" for them to do in their relationship? I feel like we never get a proper answer for this even in season 5, where at most he just kept going hot and cold on her. I've seen some fans mention that he very much so did think of her in season 5 while he was ghosting her and she ended up crying on the bathroom floor, but where exactly was this??? Is this really a proven thing within the writing or is it just another fan-favorite view of him?

Opinionwise, I sadly can’t share much in regards to Logan overall because I’m 1.25 episodes away from finishing season 5. And when it comes to seasons 6 and 7, most of it I either remember so vaguely that my opinion is unreliable or I just haven’t watched yet... What I can say is that season 5 Logan is a fuckboy through and through. We don’t get any sign from scenes or dialogue or even looks that Logan was thinking of Rory while he was off doing other stuff and possibly dating other girls (for all we know he might have, but it is pure speculation and not confirmed canon onscreen). He made a point out of not getting tied down but sabotaged any of Rory’s attempts to explore that same freedom (see: costume party). When Rory clarified her needs and explained that she respected his boundaries, he accused her of forcing him into a relationship or dealing some ultimatum that she wasn’t dealing before begging to be her boyfriend no less than two minutes later in real time. And while he doesn’t seem to take it like a sitting duck, we don’t see a lot of him fighting his family over their sexist and elitist opinions about Rory as a potential long term girlfriend for Logan. He’s by no means the devil, but he does nothing to prove he’s actual boyfriend material either (again, at least in season 5).

Also I feel like while Dean did get some moments to express his feelings for Rory, what makes Jess stand out to many viewers (especially his fans) is that his whole existence isn’t tied to a romance with Rory. Like no, we don’t see him after season 6, but from what I’ve learned that had less to do with him not serving a purpose anymore without Rory and more to do with scheduling conflicts and behind the scenes disagreements. Dean only exists in regards to relationships, and even though he introduces new characters like Lindsay, his arcs are always about where he stands with Rory. Jess had his arc with Luke. He had a minor arc with Lorelai. Hell, his existence introduced Liz Danes to the town and to becoming a recurring character on the show without him. While Dean and Logan are narratively (though not physically) incapable of existing without Rory, Jess can (at least in theory). I think that might be why some Jess fans actually turn on Rory more than Rogan or Dean x Rory shippers do. Because we are allowed to see Jess side of the story in more ways than one, it is easier to pick one of at least three sides (Rory, Jess or both) as opposed to rooting for or against a coupling.

#I'm still giving Logan a chance to warm up to me #but to be honest I just don't think he's a kind of character I like as an adult #in a show with so much discussion of class and elitism and feminism and the importance of understanding right underneath the surface #Logan just feels like a hurdle to overcome rather than a genuine prospective partner to Rory #at least so far #like I just struggle to see how the same show that roots for Lorelai to make independent choices from her parents' world #and choose the working class guy and the cosy inn over massive wealth and old money status #and created Rory with the intention to be a career-driven and independent woman #would then turn around and say that it's fine for Rory to be stuck in a relationship with a guy #who represents everything her mother ran from #and a family that will force her to be everything she neither can nor wants to be #btw I feel like this is the time to remind people that IF YOU SHIP ROGAN THAT IS FINE #THERE IS A VALUE TO THIS SHIP AND LOGAN THAT IS COMPLETELY VALID #I MAY NOT SEE THAT VALUE OR SHIP THE SHIP BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN I DENY ITS EXISTENCE #anti logan huntzberger #for filtering purposes #gilmore girls discourse #gilmore girls meta #rory gilmore

me: affairs are bad and gross and i hate them

also me: would be an absolute slay of drama if fred and fp were secretly hooking up while they were married thus contributing to their epic fallout because it wasnt bad enough fred was destroying his marriage sticking up for fp and his bad choices all the time BUT THEN ADD ON TOP OF IT the guilt eating away at him for cheating on his wife with that man.... delicious
