Accept the things you cannot control, find wisdom in adversity, and cultivate inner tranquility amidst life's uncertainties.

Stoicism teaches us to focus on our virtues, not external circumstances, allowing us to lead a life of profound resilience and wisdom.

Why did they create such a useless character to show Cinder's backstory when Salem is literally right there AND the real question the audience wants answered???

Imagine if it had been Salem who stayed at the hotel and saw something of herself in the scrappy servant girl. She saw how the Madame treated little Cinder and offered a way out only if Cinder has the power to be useful to her. Maybe she put Cinder to a test of how far she was willing to go for freedom, or maybe Salem wanted something from the Madame that she wouldn't give so it was up to Cinder to provide

Either way, Salem gets a young disciple that's ruthlessly ambitious and easy to manipulate and Cinder gains the illusion of freedom under a new master

#rwde #ofc salem wouldnt be grimmified in this version bc she'd stand out too much to do under the table shit #or she still could be but the world actually looks like an anime like it did in the beacon days #v4 on is far too grounded in reality design-wise #where the hell are the folks w wild ass hair colors and styles?? the most we get is joannas green but she says like 10 words so who cares #tis some bullshit and why i refuse to call v4+ rwby an anime #anyway this was somehow prompted by me comparing vergil to cinderella #as you can see i am Completely Normal tm #ngl tho vergil is a better cinderella if instead of riches-rags-riches its power-powerless-power #cinder starts at the bottom so her baseline mentality is way off if you want to do a cinderella remake #rags to riches is abt underdogs clawing up the social ladder against all odds #but riches rags riches is abt reclaiming what was yours #if we use cinders random disdain towards schnees in v8 as inspiration we could have a story of rival businesses #cinders father gets booted from power/high society thanks to Jacques's maybe legal maybe not methods and meddling #could go several ways from there: #her father could die and she'd be left homeless and alone in the cruel underbelly of the wealthy and powerful #she could find work w the Madame and try to endure the abuse so she and her father can pay the bills #her father could straight up sell her to the madame #itd be a horrific way to learn the significance of power and how easily it can be taken #i wanna like cinder so bad but v5 on fucked her irreparably. she doesnt even dress well anymore ffs

Olive Schreiner, “The Buddhist Priest’s Wife” (1892)

#i love this short story #navigating femininity during a time of such great social upheaval #freeing oneself from the binds of traditional expectations #allowing onself to express and to chase and to dream and to learn and to run #but simultaneously feeling a deep sense of emotionality and love #is this okay? #am i betraying myself? #how can i give and receive love without it being the cruellest form of degradation: the kind you invite upon yourself? #but the woman in this piece is so very beautiful #reclaiming power and deciding for yourself what your future will look like #but also feeling a deep sympathy for those who have loved her #love in history has often been a curse for women #but love- when genuine and warm and sincere- is a truly wonderful thing #and appreciating love and those who have loved you is not a betrayal of yourself

#Honestly I kinda feel like reclaiming slurs is pointless #Like if it can still hurt you when said by the wrong person #Then what have you reclaimed? #It quite literally retains all the qualities of a slur #It's offensive and hurtful when said so what are we doing exactly? #Maybe I just don't get it #But I've been thinking about it lately and I dunno #I'm not saying that people who are affected by a certain slur can't say it amongst themselves #But does it really accomplish anything to say it with your friends when your enemies can still hurt you with it? #The whole concept of reclaiming is taking power away from the word #But that has literally never happened lmao #Slurs retain their offense #The power is still there

why do you say the d slur if you arent a lesbian? /nm /genq

Im linking an old ask here to explain why I dont exactly believe in recent ideas about slur censorship in the queer community.

Long story short, not every queer slur is actually a slur, or a slur to everyone, and these words are used just as often by queer people because they feel a connection to them or because they want to honor the historical identities tied to them. I wont use these words for someone if they express discomfort, but these words have brought me and many other queer people comfort in our identities and solidarity in them. So yea, if a dyke/fag/homo/queer/fairy/pansy/etc wants me to call them that, i’ll do it because I want to honor them.

Also in the context of the post I used the word dyke for, its a book title, “dykes to watch out for”.

#muertoresponds #i explain in the ask thats linked too but like #i dont really get the rules of queer slur reclamation #theyre very different than racial slur reclamation #obvi dont reclaim a racial slur if youre not from that race #but for queer slurs any of those words can b used against you by bigots #theyre not gonna ask if youre actually a lesbian before callin u a dyke or whatever #so saying only lesbians can reclaim dyke erases that it can be launched at anyone #plus it erases various other identities who feel connected to the word dyke #like some transmen and transmascs and nonbinary people #its complicated #but id rather these words be used by queer people than they be used by cishets #and this doesnt negate that queer people can be viscious too #language is powerful and thats why we need to treat it respect #this is just one way i believe to do that #plus i hate the purification of queerness #i want dykes and fags back

amelia could have grown to be a natural leader had she not met zachary. in any universe where she falls under his influence amelia may be placed into a role of leadership; but time and indoctrination have whittled her into a follower (and in the worst case, a zealot). even after leaving the cult or ridding herself from zachary amelia will seek out people in positions of power for safety. she is an excellent orator, personable, genuine - all the trappings of someone who could be a leader; but she vastly prefers the 'safety' of being a follower - and will do so until (and if) she begins to clash with whoever she is following; which then defaults her back into following the letter of the law and societal morality.

#i speak the truth ta da. #something abt amelia not being able to break the cycle of trauma bc she does not have the resources to do so #or the support system to do it. #🕊️❝ sanctify them by truth: your word is truth ( headcanons. ) #this is not a story abt reclaiming your power. this is a story about survival.
