the argument for minimalism and particularly all white kitchens etc is still raging on instagram diy pages which is almost exclusively what i go on instagram for so. idk i just find it interesting bc the defense is always “it looks so clean and calming to me, too many colors and textures make things look so cluttered and messy to me” n i will never understand this because a white kitchen (or any light monochrome space) looks fucking disgusting if u actually use it like omfg the amount of time n energy it would take to keep the walls from getting scuffed idek just everything. how do you cook and live in there if COLORS give you that much stress. do you think its the phones

like thinking abt it my favorite type of game protag for games where you can make your own guy is the one that already has some hooks built into the characterization... like either you have a backstory vaguely outlined (like kotor2 exile always blowing up malacor V, durge always being durge, bhaalspawn always coming from candlekeep and being bhaalspawn) or some recent event having a deeply personal effect on the pc (watcher getting their powers, courier 6 getting shot in the head, the pc accidentally fits the nerevarine prophecy, Areelu kidnaps the pc). Like having that little extra something elevates the story and allows for more coherence bc the writers have those hooks to draw together whatever the game is trying to say and what story it can tell. imo

I will say I was laughing so hard my stomach hurt a little when my aunt had told me why my "cousin" (her niece, one I cut off. Tradwife cousin) isn't talking to her
So cousin's kids all look like fucking Charles Dickens orphan characters with these huge ass foreheads, whispy ass hair, and huge like sunken looking eyes. Well she had sent my aunt a picture of the kids and the one looked so fucking raggedy like always and she had asked if my cousin had ever seen "Call the Midwife", bc that's who her kids looked like, the kids on the show. She meant this as a compliment.
My cousin goes no I haven't, what do those kids look like?
And this is where my aunt made the mistake, she said they were desolate poor kids who like never had nice clothes. Not connecting that she was telling her that her KIDS then looked desolate and poor. (I was already cackling bc accurate. I know her husband makes a LOT of money and I know how much our aunt left her bc I've seen the will/got the same amount. So all together she's like upper middle class. They CAN afford to dress their kids nicely)
So my cousin didnt find that funny and she's like "and you're saying my kids look like that?" That being poor and raggedy.
Aunt heard "like those kids on that show"
My aunt then PHOTOSHOPS SAID KID INTO A COLLAGE OF THE KIDS FROM THE SHOW and puts a caption "which of these children Arent on the show Call the Midwife?" As a joke
Cousin didnt like that. Anyway the next day my aunt and her kid were at a flea market and saw really cute baby clothes and she had said "oh I wish I knew someone in the family with little kids. OH! COUSIN'S KIDS" and she texted that to her asking if she could buy them for the kids
Well she wasnt thinking anymore ab the previous conversation and how it essentially was her saying (in my cousin's eyes) that my cousins kids look poor and like they never have nice clothes, and hey can I buy your raggedy ass kids these clothes?"
I was nearly in fucking tears man 😭 I mean I'd be pissed as hell if she'd done that to me ab my hypothetical kids but bc it was a cousin I cut off and hate, and one who has really ugly children (they look like those renaissance paintings of babies sgsggsgsg like I'm sorry that is a man that isnt a baby) it was so funny

love 13&graham's duo vibe of 'the only two adults here' which is really only there on graham's side bc 13 does Not think of him as in charge with her, does Not think of herself as an adult, and Is one of the kittens to be herded also

an episode of the venture bros centered around pete and billy's wedding that they're putting on for the sake of rose but also because they could use the insurance benefits and through the course of the episode they start to realize they do have feelings for each other for real and it's weird and new and billy goes to talk to his mom about it and says, "mom, i think i might be gay" and she's like, "oh sweetie i already knew that 😊" and pete goes to rusty like "hey rust it's so weird but i think i might actually be gay for billy" and rusty's like "white we are literally at your gay wedding are you stupid"

I cannot take a lot of what cis women have to say about """"femininity"""" seriously esp the pink preening variety because it all looks the fucking same. It's not so much a genuine expression of self as it is purchasing an identity in lieu of actually thinking about what all these actions and values they claim constitute this idea of femininity mean. ur not feminine ur just a buyer of pink objects lol I can't respect that anymore than I can respect alpha males because it's two sides of the same stupid cissexist coin
