Do you ever think about how Irulan is Paul's wife, but not an Empress? And how Chani is his lover, but not his Empress?

How Alia is an actual Empress in this story?

Because I do. All the time.

Guy with light and long hair in shoujo manga? Who is not a side character? Long hair which he doesn't cut or which don't turn dark in the first chapter???

In this day and age?

Count me in.

Found this cute school romance manga called "Koiseyo Mayakashi Tenshi-domo" (Fall in Love, False Angels). Katsura Otogi(heroine) might look like a perfect graceful beautiful girl but she actually has a secret delinquent side. Being pair with an elegant soft gentleman to match her beauty would be perfect. She found him but there's a catch. He's also secretly delinquent like her lol So basically they are comfortable showing their hidden side when they are together. Cute, right? They become accomplices and friends that they can trust to show their different side? Eventually falling in love with each other.

#like #there are two reasons why i havent enjoyed modern shoujo quite as much as i did maybe ten years ago #first: the characters are bland as fuck and therefore thw stories are boring #second: manga has jumped into 'we hate men with long/blond hair' and honestly fuck that #the number of times i dropped manga recommended to me because the male lead had to cut his hair #or it turned out that blond hair was just a wig #they've started playing by westernies rules honestly #men can only have long hair if the are gay #or if they are bad guys #maybe of they are second male leads

Now I know what inspired the Rings of Power writers.

CREATURE????

Because Chloe is the more talented sister of the two and she's heading towards career ruin. Meanwhile Halle is out there with her Disney 240 million dollars movie. It's a form of control.

Why are Beyoncé fans mad that Chloe mentioned Kelis being an inspiration? And why is Chloe obligated to say anything about Cowboy Carter when Beyoncé has never promoted Chloe, and she's suppose to be an artist on her label? Why has Beyoncé never even said Chloe's name, but is out here publicly supporting Taylor Swift. Chloe didn't even get a feature on her country album and that's supposed to be her artist.

Why did Beyoncé even sign her? Did she just see her as competition to sign and shelve away? Supposedly she has the Bailey twins in a slave contract. Signed for a million dollars to do 6 albums.

Clearly her fans are OK with disrespecting Chloe's artistry bec Beyoncé literally pays her dust...but she's suppose to be beholden to her?

#it's not much different from beyonce and solange #sometimes i get scared for chloe for real #i hope that she doesnt disappear one day

Jay-Z trying to get out of the drama be like:

If I had a nickel for every time my best friend was accused of being a sexual predator, I would have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

Beyoncé said "I will hold your heart and your gun, I don't care if they come" and that's the same thing JLo and Cassie did. Will there be lawsuits coming out soon about Jay-Z?

#look it aint in any way funny #but all of the purity culture screamers should go scream outside beynoce's door and ive been saying it for years #jay z is icky af #one of his besties was put to prison for pedop*ilia #and another one just had a visit from fbi and homeland security in his house #even forgetting the whole mess with foxy brown aaliyah and the fact that beyonce is twelve years younger than him #and also his kid who he cant say is his kid because then he would have to addmit that he fucked a minor #the fact that he was best pals with those two dudes??? #for me personally #he must be a shitty person

Arrakis teaches the attitude of the knife - chopping off what's incomplete and saying: 'Now, it's complete because it's ended here.

'Revenge is bad' to YOU. i love when a character destroys everyone who wronged them. i love when they get to bite and maim and tear and rip and scratch and kill. Sorry ur catholic about it but i'm different

Paul and Alia were running eachother's fandoms like some crazy stans.

"Religious mana was thrust upon me," Paul said. "I did not seek it." And he thought: There! Let this man-fish think himself victorious in our battle of words! "Then why have you not disavowed it, Sire?" Edric asked. "Because of my sister Alia," Paul said, watching Edric carefully. "She is a goddess. Let me urge caution where Alia is concerned lest she strike you dead with her glance"

Honestly, Jay-Z should be on that list as well, I don't trust this guy in any proximity to teenage girls.

darkest.hue: Trigger warning: mentions of extreme violence against women and girls

Part 1/3 (more content to come on this matter)

Note: Although it should go without saying, here are some obvious truths: hip-hop the genre is not innately violent and misogynistic and neither are Black man. Also, hip-hop is not the only genre with abusive men, and the music industry is not the only industry in entertainment with abusive men.

For years now, Black women have been calling for hip- hop to have its "Me Too" reckoning (see recommended readings). Calls have recently reignited following singer Cassie's civil lawsuit against ex-boyfriend Diddy, where she alleges years of r*pe, domestic violence, and sex tr*fficking.

Many were rightfully stunned, horrified, and heartbroken by Cassie's vulnerable account, with many demanding the entire industry be finally held accountable for its pattern of violence against women. But is any of this really that surprising when we consider the way mainstream hip-hop talks about women, particularly Black women? Is it all that surprising when we consider the toxic loyalty and blind allegiance male rappers have to each other? Or the wealth of resources these men have at their disposal to control and harm women all the while flying under the radar? Or the world's disregard for the safety and protection of their Black women/girl victims?

Let's discuss.
