what is considered "beautiful" by society is inevitably sexist, racist, ableist, classist, transphobic, and bigoted. it targets and attacks any perceived difference, and it particularly villainizes women of color while co-opting aesthetics; as if features and cultural norms can be worn as accessories.

and the scary thing! you can see all of these things, know them to be true logically, and also know that you are treated better if you are perceived as beautiful. if you have ever been treated as "ugly", you know exactly how much society reviles you if you don't manage to scamper along and perform to their rules.

and how are you supposed to balance that? do you want a nose job to fix your broken nose, or have you just recently been seeing videos about how many people look better after nose jobs. do you want to lose weight to feel good, or is it that when you lose weight people treat you better. do you want to wear this outfit, or is it just the thing that's least likely to get you harassed. do you want to get lip injections for your reasons or is your whole reason that you don't feel beautiful unless you get those lip injections?

and the definitions shift. the goals get more specific. in the way that you only become aware of your tongue when someone mentions it; parts of your body are introduced as problems. i had never heard the term "hip dip" until about a year ago - and it was in the context of how to get rid of this. i'm 30, i know this shit is invented, and yet! i still find that strange voice saying but do you think someone is going to notice?

how the fuck am i supposed to say "this is my genuine choice i am making for my body" when i also know that years of my life have been spent socializing me to accept this as my inevitable fate? how do i know i'm actually doing this out of love for my body - or am i doing it for how i want others to see me, which will be lovely enough to feel loved? how am i supposed to recover when my unhealthy habits are seen as self-discipline but if i relax i'm openly mocked for "letting time win"? how the fuck am i supposed to say "i'm doing it for me" when i'm also very aware that i'm doing it to stop myself from being teased or demeaned? is it my choice if the other option is being bullied?

we are living in a hostage negotiation - either consent to the demands or spend the rest of your life being treated like you're a despicable person.

#i also have things to say about how gender plays into this #but it became like 1450 pages #so i saved the rest in a draft #btw? hip dips used to be like valued in the 90s & 2000s during the ultra thin craze #which is so fucking wild to me bc i am old enough to REMEMBER that people WANTED them #bc they're literally the shape of your bones. they're your hipbones showing. & you literally CANNOT 'target' that area #that would be like targeting your elbow. it's a fucking JOINT.#it is a place where you either do or do not carry mass. the lower ur bodyfat percent and the higher ur thigh & glute strength #the less that you will carry weight there #which is even MORE fucking cruel bc !!! the type of people who are already trying to improve themselves helplessly #are going to be aware of their body! and ur literally GIVING them an insecurity they LITERALLY do not decide!!!!#“it rounds out ur figure” here's something my guy! maybe people shouldn't have to look uniform and sleek !!!#maybe you just want to fuck a manatee !!!#if we're really at the point that you have to apologize for LITERALLY HAVING BONES.....#like sorry my legs had to connect somewhere in my form :( i will hide that from u. my apologies ur honor #(fashion bloggers gagging bc there's evidence other people have skeletons)

You know it’s illiteracy when people start trying to seriously apply poetic and emotional love to Sukugo like it’s not one sided entirely

#anti sukugo #jujutsu kaisen #Sukuna #gojo satoru #I get on a basic level #they’re two psychological insane men (for different reasons)#and there’s an appeal of them having raw gay sex but also #trying to force this poetic type of tragic love of violence to them is a HUGE disservice to Sukuna’s writing #as well as a fundamental misunderstanding of their fight #they are not ‘I can’t decide if I wanna kill or kiss you’#Gojo is ‘I wanna show you my true power; I want to show off to you’#and Sukuna is ‘I respect your strength & I won’t forget you for it; but you’re beneath me just as everyone else is’#Gojo was a very fun play thing for him; he was a dog to entertain him and THAT is who Sukuna is as a person

my collection. do you understand...

#hm i should make an original post tag #maul #g.h.posting #probably my last proper g.h.post since i finished reading and doing a sweep of my annotations #so unless i reread the entire book in english i probably have no more quotes to show #that second one is so. maul in the duel of naboo. in the split second before obi-wan jumps out and cuts him in half.#do you understand..... the strength in suffering. the lack of identity outside this hell that is the only life he knows.#it's not even masochism‚ he is just unable to identify pain as what it truly is.#he is afraid of losing this reality‚ even if it would be good for him‚ because he doesn't want to look back and acknowledge how bad it was #you can't look back at your present

"din chose grogu over his faith because he realized his love for grogu was more important to him" but at no point did the narrative ask him to do this? at no point was this so-called conflict actually a conflict in the actual show? din's religion isnt the religion that demands its followers give up attachments. din's religion is the reason why he takes grogu on in the first place!! theres this bizarre insistence in fandom that somehow being mando negatively impacts din's relationship with grogu, and thats why he was forced to take his helmet off, but quite frankly thats simply just not true. he was forced to take his helmet off because they paid pedro pascal big bucks to look that handsome and the writers got lazy with the plot.

#hello yes im still mad about this thanks #''din had to stop being held back by his religion'' his religion canonically brings him comfort thru betrayal and directed violence and #the literal genocide of his people. his religion encourages him to care for the people that he loves. his religion brings him STRENGTH.#like please just understand that you are projecting your personal feelings about irl organized religion onto a character whose story #doesnt make sense in the context of those feelings. please acknowledge that.#listen i dont care if you personally think that the direction the show is going is fine or that its an interesting exploration of faith w/e #or people who are just genuinely uninterested in the religious sideplot and want to see pedro's beautiful face. i get that babes.#but!#am i saying people that celebrate din taking his helmet off as a Progressive Victory are stupid? yes thats exactly what i'm saying #may the force be with you

[...] And I’m not big on giving gifts. Oh, that’s not true, Ana! You’ve given me so much. Experience, knowledge, one or two headaches... But seriously, I’ve learned so much from you. And I from you. What more can you hope for in an adventure companion. In this life filled with sacrifices and great challenges, we have to walk alongside those who give us strength and make us grow. And you and I together are invincible.

#madre solo hay dos #ana servín #mariana herrera #shitty screencap posts (TM)#I want to believe all those hearteyes weren't just a coincidence #I mean sure they had to lay the groundwork for the forthcoming announcement #so it stands to reason that this little speech would be 'fake' as well #but once again the WAY they looked at each other like NONE OF THAT WAS NECESSARY #if you decide you're gonna fake date someone for ~reasons~ would you hearteye the shit out of your fake partner #BEFORE you even announce said fake relationship? like would you really have such foresight????#dsjhdkj this is gonna drive me insane until season 3 drops someone put me out of my miseryyyyy #but anyway I like this show's inadvertent tendency of having these two exchange wedding vow-style mutual compliments for a captive audience #in the season finales for both seasons so far #and don't think I missed ana very clearly looking down at mariana's lips as she says the thing about walking with those who give us strength #and the way mariana takes a very visible deep breath/sighs when she's looking at ana in the last cap as she says that #once again is this getting a little too real for you babe?#and just... HEIGHT DIFFERENNNNNNNNNNCE #everything about this sequence was a lot for me I miss them so much already season 3 WHENNNNNNNNNNNNN

I HAVE AN OIL PAINTING I NEED TO FINISH TOMORROW #YOU KNOW HOW MUCH TIME I GOT FOR THAT?? NOT MUCH I DON'T EVEN KNOW THE STUDIO HOURS BECAUSE THEY DON'T POST THEM #I'm legit going to sneak in take my canvas and go home #I went into a studio today to work on one of my projects that really should be done and there was a class in place 😭#mortifying I'm never going into the studio during regular hours again #catch me in there like a gremlin at 3am

𝐀𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐢'𝐬 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡

Nowi’a Aweri, for a 5′6 miqo’te, bears unnatural, incomprehensible strength — all things considered, especially in terms of stature and nothing blatantly revealing that he could punch a tree and snap it clean in half.

The reasoning for this is solely due to being born w an over abundance of aether, same as his sister, and while this doesn’t inherently affect him in ways that are detrimental alone, he can channel this very aether and exhibit massive amounts of strength at the cost of his own life. In doing so it strips the pigment from his hair into a sheet white, and afterwards he will be extremely exhausted as his body cannot naturally endure this.

In ARR/HW, his hair was predominantly white, as he had no regard for his own life. While he still used the bow, he was not afraid to use his hands in means to kill, destroy things around him, etc. Having lost his whole family at a young age he felt purposeless, lost, and having been reunited with his sister and that still not ‘ fixing ’ how miserable he felt and that there was no immediate fix to grief, he felt even more at a loss. This in itself is a whole different topic of conversation and will have its own post, so back to his strength —

It wasn’t until the end of HW that his natural roots had started to finally stay. He found new purpose in life, he wanted to live. He found happiness in helping people, loving people, loving himself and some may find his ego to be a bit much but it took him years to have earned that. He loves to love and it shows in how life has finally homed itself within him.

In between SB and SHB his hair was both black and white. Sometimes his roots were white. Sometimes his tips were white instead. Honestly he was like an oreo :\. When he does use this strength, depending how much he uses, how long he uses it, the loss of pigment always begins at the root, and stays in his hair until it grows out. So, it’s obvious to tell when he so carelessly risked his life.

Come the beginning of Endwalker, his hair is fully black, as it was meant to be. Not many know of his past and he doesn’t openly share why he doesn’t use his strength, he doesn’t tell anyone of how he used to be, because he is proud of who he is now.

#OUT OF CHARACTER / 𝙃𝙀𝘼𝘿𝘾𝘼𝙉𝙊𝙉 #um. i care him. anyways Thats why his hair looks inconsistent in my icons LMAO #i need to fanta back into him to take more gposes!!! AAAAAAAUUGH #anyways him not wanting to show u his strength (while he doesnt take offense to your interest) hes just like LMAO i'd rather live #how else will he kiss you :\#but he wont tell you it kinda kills him . thats his own little secret. if u see his hair turn white mind yr business
