The people who say that "words are violence" are telling you what they plan to do if you say something they don't like.
The point is to make you responsible for their reaction. Like any abuser.

Someone asked in the Pathfinder Kingmaker reddit whether Lann is a better bro than Eder and, completely unsurprisingly, Eder won.

The other day this week I got a nagging feeling that there is something on September 17, but what? Hmm. No, my friend's eldest son's birthday is on October 16, not 17, not September. What could it be?
Oh, right, it's Revolution birthday!
Gah, in some aspects this show and this fandom saved my life, especially the people (you know who you are, I hope)* who reached out over the years when I was struggling and offered kind words and compassion and encouragement that pulled me back from across the world.
You all and our little show will always have a special place in my heart.

It's funny how after 18 years of being unable to learn about evolution at all, I actually find it really interesting now. Like I've always loved animals and now I can also look at them with a different (and imo more satisfying) perspective of wondering what those same animals will be in the future and what they were in the past and what the practical implications of their characteristics might be and stuff.
Like it just feels like there's so much more to know. And even though I have a million questions that aren't answered yet, it's still better than not even having questions because the basic principles I was trying to understand didn't make sense and I wasn't allowed to ask the questions I really needed to

"She had found it difficult to make the transition from a mistress with the upper hand to the submissive wife that Henry, a conventional husband, now expected her to be, and her tantrums sorely tried him, driving him to seek solace in other beds"
Interesting quote and a common sentiment, so let’s unpack this:
we know henry also had mistresses while married to c/oa, but...
w/eir et al insist she was the perfect wife, that she never argued with him (the latter of which is not even true, we have contemporary observation otherwise, even before the GM, but accepting the premise for the sake of argument)
so... was it in response to ' tantrums' or was it just henry and a pattern already established?
bcus in the very limited way they acknowledge her upset (which is generally just limited to the elevation of his mistress' son)
the infidelity is offensive but not the central point of the anger, not enough to risk loss of influence to fight against it
it is not written about as a 'tantrum' (nor should it be, i’m merely pointing out the double standard), it is the noble, righteous purpose of her wanting to preserve her rights and that of her daughter
these incidents don’t receive the same treatment even though their context is similar, bcus...at least two of henry's mistresses while he was married to anne were supporters of her opponent (mary, also a threat to her daughter’s status)
so... was it 'tantrums' or was she also not going down without a fight because she viewed them as risking her and elizabeth's security ?
but it doesn't get the same treatment.
and the anne hastings thing with catherine does seem more personal but i digress , it is definitely not spoken of as a 'tantrum' either (nor should it be, again, i’m just pointing out the different language that tends to be used, and the blame cast upon anne & not her predecessor)
what i find really gross here is the implication and double negative inherent within
henry would not have taken mistresses while married to anne if she had more submissive, calmer
dignified even
but catherine was the perfect wife and model of queenly dignity and never said a harsh word to or against him
so... interesting to imply to avoid this she should have been 'more like catherine ' (again, whatever that means) when...it also happened to catherine?
we have a disrespectful comment but no actual record (altho it was a very short space of time) of henry taking mistresses while married to jane s/eymour
but no one says shit like coa should have been more like JS
yet i have seen people argue JS was emulating catherine and that's why he didn't cheat on her..... while forgetting he did cheat on catherine??
