i'm glad we're talking about how weird people get with their fem!sirius characterizations. i have been a fem!sirius truther for longer than some of these ppl have been alive but god... not like this. sirius is intelligent and cruel and reckless and doesn't care what society thinks, so he'll dress androgynous and wear make-up sometimes. he loves muggle rockstars, like bowie. he wants to imitate them (but will never cop to it). that kind of fem. not a weak, stupid, hysterical kind of fem that's just an amalgamation of misogynistic and homophobic stereotypes

in episode 7 when she's talking to juri, utena says she doesn't really like swordfighting. it's the same conversation where she says she doesn't care about the power to revolutionize the world (and jokes about only using it to pass her finals.) i think it speaks to how she doesn't truly want to participate in this system, she just doesn't think she has any other options. she wants to help anthy, and this is the only way to do it that she's been presented with. it's like in episode 2 when she says she'll lose on purpose so she doesn't have to duel anymore, but realizes that she can't because it would mean chu-chu (and anthy by extension) would go back to saionji. it's true that participation perpetuates the system, but it's equally true that it'll continue whether or not utena is part of it. abstaining on the principle that The System Is Bad (something utena absolutely does know), and as a result leaving anthy in the hands of people who abuse her, is not a better or more rightoues option. obviously there are ways to help that aren't either of those choices, but they're hard to see and even harder to actually accomplish. they're the kind of actions that every part of ohtori is designed to discourage. of course it takes utena a while to get there.

Molly & Morrissey Kinder for @hauntedtrait 🖤
After quitting their office job, Molly (they/she) turned their passion for photography into a viable business to support their young son, Morrissey (he/him). Being their own boss means they get to see each of his milestones, and they love nothing more than watching him grow! They can frequently be found in parent/mom groups all over the city, ensuring that the parents & kids share a positive and enriching space—though they are sometimes guilty of giving (and apologizing for) unsolicited advice.
Fun facts about Molly:
Loves post-punk music
Specializes in inclusive, body-positive boudoir photoshoots
Favorite treat is a maple bacon doughnut
Worked in life insurance for several years, seeing more claims involving pool ladder incidents than they can remember

hi, unserious again but lando might’ve appealed more to oscar by being cute than being sl*ty on main.
oscar with all those longing and would’ve devoured looks when lando was full on in race suit and in team kit on full blast while doing work challenges.. 🙃🤔
just saying.. again, this is all unserious.
"So obviously, gotta make an effort. Pretty myself up. Was thinkin' the new white tank and shirt or maybe-- What?"
Oscar was doing that hovering thing. And the smiling thing. And that thing with the eyes where they got all soft and… warm.
"No no, I just," Oscar looked down bashfully, cheeks gone all pink. He was smiling so hard his cheeks half closed his eyes. "I was just thinking you look pretty good right now."
Lando had to fight to keep his body from floating right up to the ceiling and exploding into confetti. Something about how Oscar gave him the simplest compliments affected him more than having the hottest girl in his contacts tell him what a big dick he had. While blowing him.
Instead he let the feeling out in a shuddery laugh and preened a little.
"Yeah? You like my designer white Hilton bathrobe and slippers, Mr. Piastri?" He did a silly little model pose as best he could while lying back against the headboard, letting one leg slip out of the fluffy terry robe. He was sure he intended it as a joke.
Oscar let out a mechanical chuckle and a whispered "yeah". His eyes weren't laughing at all where they traced Lando's leg right up to the thigh. Totally humorless, in fact.
Ash coughed a little from the corner accent chair.
Thank god.
Oscar straightened and shoved his hands into his pockets.
"You gonna meet up with Max after the interview?"
"Yeah, gonna do something quick like a burger. You gonna be at your parents' with Lily, right?"
Lando rated his casual execution of that last part at a 6 out of 10. Definite improvement.
"Yeah, be good to catch up before things get crazy."
Oh, why did Oscar always have to look like they were saying goodbye forever and he couldn't bear to leave?
Ash practically had to walk into him to get things moving. He didn't even bother to hide the enormous eye roll. He exchanged nods with Lando and headed for the door.
"Okay, well. Night night!" Oscar said in their special little muppet voice, raising one hand in a wave.
Lando did the voice back at him, doing a grabby-baby wave with one hand.
"Night night, Osc!"
Oscar burst into a giggle and a radiant smile. He nearly shouldered the wall because he kept glancing back at Lando as he walked out of the room.
When it was absolutely certain that Oscar wouldn't be turning around and start banging on the door begging to get in and drop to his knees to propose, Lando tugged the robe's hood over his head and slithered over onto his front, face buried in the pillows. Gave himself exactly 30 seconds of intense wallowing and shoved himself up determinedly.
Half past midnight wasn't exactly an ideal time to catch up on emails when he had a 7am call time but it was better than letting his mind just do it's thing.

the thing about castiel in season six is that. textually. he is entering into a shady business deal with somebody dean has serious beef with. subtextually though. he is slutting around with crowley and, as narrative punishment for his slutcrimes, getting knocked up about it
