bear with me because this post might not make total sense, more of a half-baked thought i had.
My boyfriend works in a dive bar and was telling me earlier this week that one of the two toilets in the women's bathroom was out of order, that the owner was dragging his feet about getting a plumber in to fix it because he wants to save money. He then goes on a rant about how dumb the boss is being, that all the women who come to the bar tend to gravitate towards and hang out in the bathroom, and that if they didn't have a functioning bathroom for women, women will stop coming.
I agree, and say, "yeah! women love bar bathrooms. they'll definitely stop coming if word spreads that the bathroom's out of order," but it got me thinking over the past week. You hear men joke about how women can't go to a public restroom without a girlfriend to bring along to chat with, or a group of girls to go with, and while men seem perplexed and pretend to not understand why this is, the answer is pretty obvious, isn't it?
Women love public female-only bathrooms BECAUSE they're sex segregated. We gravitate to the ladies room on nights out BECAUSE there's no men. BECAUSE it's a safe space away from the prying eyes of men. A place to chat and discuss things in private, a place to warn women if we notice a man being overbearing and too persistant, a place to speak frankly about stories we have about certain men in the club/bar in order to warn ladies who don't know. The only place in the bar where you can escape the eyes and advances of creepy men.
Why wouldn't women flock to the bathrooms? It's our only escape in bar scenarios to speak frankly with other women without the males overhearing. Yet men will claim it's silly for women to go in groups to the restroom, ignore the list of reasons why we do, and then also have the nerve to try and force businesses to make the women's room a unisex bathroom while the mens room remains untouched.
Once women's restrooms become unisex restrooms, which is already happening in certain businesses and schools and bars btw, you can absolutely guarantee many women will not feel comfortable going there, and therefore take their business elsewhere. Feminine men are not women. Gay men are not women. Sex segregated spaces are so important for women to feel safe, and to feel as though they have a safe place to escape, even if just for a few minutes.
The universal trope of women going to restrooms with their girl friends rather than alone is there for a reason. The lack of males and the privacy from males. Yet these worms-for-brains men can't think for more than ten seconds to realize this fact, and instead they act as though we women are just being gossiping, frivolous, self-centered babies who are incapable or too scared of just heading to the rest room alone.

Trying to pick a favorite character
Well it’s obviously B.O.Y.D I’m all the way deranged about him, but that feels like a bad answer because he’s featured at all in 8 episodes total and two of them are background appearances, and one his just his name. And maybe he isn’t my favorite character, maybe I just like robots?
So I should pick someone more popular? I love Huey, he slays, holy shit, love his autism. I really enjoy Huey, he’s definitely my favorite of the triplets but I’m not entirely sure he can be called my favorite character, just because he’s the superior triplet. I do love him a lot, but I’m not sure if I’m judging him fairly. Especially because he’s voiced by Danny Pudi, who I love.
So I should pick someone in the middle, not too central but with more speaking roles under his belt? Then I pick Gyro Gearloose. He’s the obvious choice, he’s snarky, he’s a little tragic but in a fun way, he’s voiced by Jim Rash and oh no I might not be judging him fairly I like Jim Rash a lot. I enjoy Community. I love Gyro but I don’t know if I would love him that much, I tend to get tired of overly sarcastic and rude characters. Maybe it’s just a sign of how well he’s written, I’m not sure.
Goldie is so hot. She’s cool too, I think she’s a well written character who you’re never supposed to know if you can trust. She’s also hot, and cool. I think her relationship with Scrooge and Louie is very well done, but I don’t know if I can base my favorite character off who I think they work well with. She is hot though.
What about Doofus Drake? He’s objectively the funniest villain in the whole show. I really enjoy the three or so episodes where he’s spotlighted, he really stands out in all of them. That’s especially saying something because B.O.Y.D is in one of those, and he kicks ass. I really enjoy his small arc where Louie tries to befriend him and accidentally gets Doofus to not leave him alone. First by Doofus wanting to be friends and then swearing revenge. What was he gonna do with the umbrella and walnuts?
Also I really enjoy Lil’ Bulb, possibly because I am slight deranged about robots in general, but I also love silent characters who are still super expressive. I love how loyal the Bulb Army ™️ is to their causes (when they aren’t evil). One of them kills itself so that the moon people can’t receive Huey’s transmission, and the one true Lil’ Bulb is willing to defend Gyro almost always and unscrews his head after being commanded to “look after your brother”. But he can’t be my favorite, he just isn’t.
This is a difficult decision.

Ok so for starters Gyro is not dead dw 😭😭 the whole gist of this is basically after the shadow war when everything is said and done and everyone (presumably) just forgets about Gyro and how the last time someone saw him was while he was being thrown into the sea after being called a work acquaintance </3 so anyway Angel n bulb go look for their dad but can’t find him and ask Scrooge for help or if he knows where he is and Scrooge face turns to one of panic and regret as he remembers what happened to him and what he had last ‘said’ to him(???)
In the episode Gyro does come back up from the water for air so he is alive but maybe in this he washes up at some point and Scrooge or others find him and make sure he’s ok idk I’m not at all planning to go further with this - this was just a silly idea I had a while back lol
Also I know it is very headcanoned that Scrooge said Gyro is a work acquaintance to protect him but I’d imagine that it would still sting

I've been using Bushy's Bulb as my main back bling since I started playing because it was the first one I got, as far as i can recall. And I love it! It's the cutes thing ever! But I equipped Nolan's Luxury Lockbox some days ago (because of D¡amondChance (?)) and I really liked how Nolan looks with it???? I don't want to change that beautiful bulb, but I just like very much that other back bling!!His glider is also 👌. Actually, I never paid attention to Chance's set, and it's beautiful. It looks casual, kind of sporty, and it's green! GREEN! I love green(?) But also the black details and those tiny sparkles of orange. I'm not gonna lie, the wrap is weird in some guns(?). Also, Can somebody tell me what the heck is this thing from his banner? I like to think it's his eye? Like, the wind is blowing and his hair moves and covers his eye like that? I don't get it, but he has that thing plastered all over (?)

I don't know, I might use his whole set more often ♥

I spent about an hour in the garden clearing the dead vegetation from last season and doing some general tidying and it felt so nice! This is the first weekend in ages it hasn’t rained or been insanely windy and it was just nice to be outside and in the garden.

Alright so this is my very last Pirate Lord of the six. I’m actually having a shit ton of trouble with Her Idk what my angle is. I’ve tried various animals I think would fit the personality and it keeps going to rabbit. But what colors? What kind of rabbit? Their personality is very much tomboyish and challenging. She likes to Tease Mahina the most out of the Lords she meets with. Considering her close friends among the others, she is an extremely steampunk/ Victorian feeling.
Any ideas? Like should I choose a different animal/ creature. I want her on the shorter side. Doesn’t have to be a mammal and color themes are also welcome I’m at total art block for her specifically.
