#i have a headache and therefore yall get this shit

House of the dragon rant

I swear I get headaches everytime I see people trying to explain why they prefer Milly's Rhaenyra over Emma's like dude watch the bts of episode 6 for the love of God, that will help you understand what they were trying to do with the time jump. I feel like a broken record saying this so much but 10+ years passed dude a 30 year old can't be acting like a teenager SPECIALLY when they have 5 kids, Milly's Rhaenyra was rebellious, immature, carefree and was not prepared by the people around her for her responsibilities so in her mind she probably had none so of course she was able to act like she should act like a teenager, but after her engagement party where she sees her father pass out her lover punches a guy to death and said guy just so happens to be her future husband's lover you can finally see in her face something click and you can tell that she finally realizes what she has to do, and plus

another thing a lot of people seem to love to forget is the trauma that Rhaenyra experienced, bc I highly doubt those 10 years were all sunshine and rainbows I mean Emma said it Rhaenyra experienced trauma and Rhaenyra herself shows it on episode 6 and 7 even on episode 8, so yeah no shit that changes a person, it can have a drastic change or smaller changes but it does change you, adding the trauma to her being the heir to the iron throne + having a ton of kids and being an adult that cannot get away with shit as easily as before obviously her behavior will change, Emma's Rhaenyra is supposed to be a more cold and calculated person due to everything that I just mentioned but specially bc now she has kids that rely on her, the directors said it themselves, you can in fact still see small ticks that Rhaenyra had when she was younger and they still remain, bc that would be something slightly harder to lose but it's still there, when she gets mad you still see her essence and what she has always been like, but of course she can't be going around throwing that attitude at everyone bc there's a lot at risk, NOW she's finally realizing her responsibilities and her duty so she had to mature, idk what it is with this hate train towards the writers of the show and even Emma but like shut up, and don't get me wrong I don't love the writers either they made questionable choices but some of yall completely throw logic out the window sometimes just to hate on them, they did a great job with the transition between Milly and Emma, and this is just the beginning for Emma, Rhaenyra when she was an adult was not called the "maegor with tits" for nothing she hasn't had the opportunity to show her explosive side bc she didn't have to. And about the hate towards Emma, let's be real the hate towards them and even their Rhaenyra is 99.9% of the time rooted on transphobia, simple as that, had adult Rhaenyra been portrayed by a cis woman this would not happen. And I would also like to add that no Milly's Rhaenyra is not more popular, Rhaenyra as a whole is extremely popular, Emma's version is the face of the show but they are both extremely popular even though you mostly see posts about Emma's Rhaenyra now (therefore I do believe that Emma's is the fan favorite) but one is not above the other anyway, the only time you will see Milly's Rhaenyra being extremely praised, not saying she's not good, she is, but there's times where waves of praise for her come and with that some people feel the need to bring Emma down it's exclusively with the transphobes, or weird men that created this obsession with Milly bc she is a cis female that fits the beauty standards while according to society Emma doesn't. So please before you share your preferences which it's okay to have first of all don't shit on one to praise the other bc do you even like them if you have to bring in another person and shit on them just to praise the other, AND actually think about the timeline of things and basic shit like idk growing up and what life was like back then and in a place like westeros. Bc I'm certain that NO ONE here is the same as they were 10 years ago SPECIALLY if they experienced trauma.

Anyway thank you for coming to my very long Ted talk. If you actually read all this then wow

#Let me know if I got any pronoun wrong please bc it's a long post and I wrote it fast #And I re read it multiple times but my head is hurting so I can't read it again but I don't want to disrespect anyone #I'm afraid tho that someone might think I'm calling Emma the wrong pronoun when I'm just referring to Rhaenyra bc Emma goes by they them #But Rhaenyra is still she her so yeah and I'm scared I might have gotten some of those mixed up so yeah please let me know #And I will correct it #Sooo the chances of anyone actually reading all that rant are very slim but at least I got it out there so it's good #But please read if you have the patience lmao #Rhaenyra targaryen #House of the dragon #Emma D'Arcy #Milly Alcock

and like yes i know ~let people have fun~ i get it but also can people learn how to not oversaturate shit with whatever it is they're having fun with so everyone is able to have some kind of fun? because everytime someone says that shit they completely disregard that some of us are not having fun, we were having fun and then whatever it is we're "hating on" started clogging up our feeds and showing up in tags you thought were safe and algorithms start throwing that shit at you because you like X, Y, and Z so therefore you must like that thing too and no matter how hard you say you're not interested or block shit it keeps coming up everywhere. i think i shared one or two posts a week ago or something because initally i thought it was cute and funny but yall really know how to suck all the good out of shit for those of us who aren't into it. more people would be able to live and let live with shit like this if people didn't shove it down our goddamn throats and then get mad at us for not having a good time with it. i'll let people have fun when they stop giving everyone else a headache when they do.

#one post was the pic of keanu johnathan with a badge that said tumblrs new best friend which i thought was kinda sweet #and the other was about hungarian paprika or some shit #neither of these posts should have fucked with my recommendations meanin either the algorithm is that broken or yall rlly be that annoying

What are the ethics of giving a catperson catnip without their permission? I think it should be similar to that of any other drug, except the way normal cats get drugged makes it seem like they catpeople might be treated in a sub-human manner in this instance. 

The societal norm of giving cats catnip might counter the arguement of “catpeople are people,” simply because they are part cat, and so are not 100% people, and so it is okay to use them for entertainment.

There is already a fetishization of catpeople, and many like to dress up like them. Does that mean that dressing up like a catmaid would be akin to cultural appropriation or something worse?

By Any Means

Welcome back to #BlackWomanWritesWednesdays 

Another chapter added to the The Chronicles of Hip Hop

The request I accepted featured the lyrics from TWO songs by the late Nipsey Hussle. A MAN, okay? Whether you knew of this man or not, that you have no choice but to admit. He was a GREAT man. A great BLACK man.

Sometimes perfect timing feels like I'm too late But I know you still great in spite of your mistakes Before you run your race you gotta find a pace Just make sure you cross the line, and fuck the time it takes

Perfect Timing x Nipsey Hussle

I'm finna take it there, this time around I'ma make it clear Spoke some things into the universe and they appeared I say it's worth it, I won't say it's fair You find your purpose or you wastin' air Fuck it though, y'all niggas scared

Jamaal slapped his alarm off the night stand, silencing the ear splitting ringing that he hated hearing every morning. His refusal to say no to his crew was the reason for his sluggishness this morning. He pulled himself up against his headboard and painfully smirked at the damage left from the previous night. As he lit his pre-rolled blunt, he shook one of the women next to him hoping one of their mouths would calm his headache—and his morning wood. The woman he managed to wake up brought a frown to his face. He didn’t remember her at all, but she was more than willing to help. Therefore, he enjoyed the rest of his blunt and responded to some emails and texts—while he could—as he slowly came undone, captured between her lips.

Once she finished up, he climbed out of bed and entered his bathroom. He cleared off the counter before retrieving his toothbrush to rid his mouth of weed, liquor, and whatever the hell else was left over from his pre-celebration.

“Jamaal?”

He turned towards the door to see all 3 women awake, nude, and seductively smiling at him, “want some breakfast?”

“Nah, I gotta be somewhere. Yall head out. See tonight at the party.”

He had already turned back to the mirror when they muttered their ‘goodbyes’ and ‘congratulations,’ reminding himself that he really did it. 

He smirked into the mirror, “Cause I’m that nigga!” 

After his shower, he was walking into his closet, headed for the back wall. It was bought for him months ago. Skit told him he wanted him to walk away from today with ‘somebody’s fine ass mama,’ so he was going to handle his clothes for the ceremony. Every week Jamaal would smile at the garment bag, anticipating the moment when he could place the clothes on his body. The moment had finally arrived, and today was the day for him to wear them.

After he was dressed, he found himself standing in front of his garage. Skit told him to go all out because he ‘did some real nigga shit, and only real niggas can do that.’ So that left him to wonder, what would a real nigga drive? Especially to an event as such!

“Fuck it!” He shrugged before walking over to his brand new Rolls-Royce convertible and hopping in. It was literally an impulse buy. He found himself at the dealership to get a Range Rover for his little sister’s birthday. He saw this car after he had already made his purchase, but it wasn’t like he couldn’t make another one. So he did. (Ended up getting a G Wagon for his mom as well.) He still hasn’t driven it yet, and today felt like the perfect time to do so. The weather was nice and the wind felt good in his hair.

He pulled into the driveway with maybe 45 minutes to spare, so he hopped out and quickly made his way to the door. After having to knock a few times, he was let in by Skit’s twin brother.

“Well, well, well, if it isn’t Einstein! Looking good my boy!”

Jamaal chuckled, “thanks geezer! Is yall ready? Mfs can’t be late.”

“Calm down, damn! Yall women get so uptight on yall big day. Put yo hat on and shut the fuck up,” Skat teased

“Aye, fuck you nigga!“ 

“Whatever. I been ready for the past hour. That nigga in there handling business.” 

“What you mean? We still going to Mexico tomorrow, right?”

“We better be!”

Jamaal laughed and headed down the hall into Skit’s office, where he found him with a blunt in one hand and a gun in the other.

“We’ll see you tomorrow.” Skit finished up the chat and turned to his baby brother. A smile appeared once he saw the graduation cap sat on top his head.

“Nigga, if mama get there before us, we all dead!” Jamaal laughed

Skit laughed, “look at you, baby boy! Pops would be proud. It’s up from here.”

Besides Jamaal, their father was the only one in their family to ever attend college. Everyone else was too involved in the streets to think about taking off 4-5 years. That’s why his father didn’t. He hustled in the streets alongside their grandfather AND earned a degree. Jamaal’s father raised the 3 of them the same way his father raised him, and, unfortunately, he died the same way his father did—shot down in the streets while Jamaal was away at college.

“You think he knows I went back? Like not on no ‘dead people see everything shit,’ but you really think pops knows I did it? That I did what he picked me to do?”

“Jamaal, he picked you because he knew me or Skat wasn’t doing that shit. I couldn’t do them books, and Skat was born to shoot; we know that. He handed down that knowledge to you because he knew you would put it to use, baby boy.”

Jamaal watched his big brother walk back around his desk, retrieving a locked box from the top drawer, “pops would’ve been gave this to you, but I decided to wait for this day because I knew it was coming. Now hurry up because we piss mama off, she ain’t gon cook.”

Jamaal laughed, while accepting the gift and pulling back the latch to reveal his father’s gun. He had seen this plenty of times before, but he has never held it in his hands. His dad always told him he wasn’t ready for it yet. He looked up for his brother, only to be met by two sets of familiar brown eyes. The eyes that have protected him and guided him since the day he was born. He had always admired them. The third pair was missing, but he wouldn’t dwell on that, not right now.

“Even pops would say yall crazy as hell for sacrificing one of moms meals. We could’ve done this sentimental shit in the car!” Skat complain

“Nigga!” His twin groaned

“Baby boy know I love him! I love my mama fried chicken a lil bit more though,” he laughed before wrapping his arm around his younger brother’s shoulder. “Let’s go business man! Today you graduate, tonight we celebrate you, and tomorrow it’s off to Mexico to watch the mini pops in you work your textstreet magic! Sound like the ending to a hood ass Disney movie, right?”

“What fairy tale movies you know got drugs, guns, and money in them?” Jamaal threw back at him 

“The real ones,” Skit smirked while locking his office door
