reading SCUM manifesto, the stepford wives, and now the beauty myth back to back is giving me a kind of anti-femininity lycanthropy where I wolf out if anyone starts talking about cosmetics within my earshot
Ok but thinking about how Angel drops petnames left and right- mostly sarcastically, but sometimes genuinely. All the "Baby"s, "Honey"s, "Doll"s, etc, it's just part of his speech pattern at this point, so him calling Husk cute lil petnames once they start dating ain't uncommon- is when he says his name with the most doting and lovesick eyes and earnest voice ever that everything turns pink and shit.
Husk is the opposite- he normally calls Angel by his name (either of them) or just "you" him, but then he drops the "sweetheart" or the "baby" with the lowest of tones and the most adoring gaze-
Spent so much time making sushi for dinner and was so excited to have a funky little sushi roll and eat it like a burrito but then my nori ripped apart mid roll and I had to eat it as a salad and apparently my brain doesn’t like the texture of imitation crab + seaweed and rice rn :(
Okay but would Kate ever get around to beating Jeff's ass? Ik she can't bc Ben and not being allowed to kill Jeff or wtv but if there was a scenario where it was allowed or maybe there wouldn't be any consequences for her, would she absolutely destroy that asshat?
yes. absolutely. toby does beat jeffs ass for nina (before ninakate happens), and BEN just thinks its funny because Jeff ended up completely fine. jeff was just limping a little the next day, nothing he cant walk off - which means bens laughing at him for it. BEN only gets pissy if jeff is so hurt he can't hang out (or dies, ofc)
if jeff tried going for nina AGAIN, kate would be on his ass in a second. the only issue is, she will kill him if nobody stops her. and then ben wont think that is funny . . .
it would upset nina, though. she can hate jeff all she wants, but she doesnt want kate (or anyone) tearing him apart
Only thing I’m gonna say abt it bc I haven’t read the books or participated tje fandom since I was in elementary school but. Ppl’s reaction to Squirrelflight becoming leader is so funny. The misogyny of the authors has rubbed off on the fans I see, how are you gonna tell a victim of domestic abuse that’s she’s a worse leader and suffered less than her husband. And all the alternate leader suggestions from these ppl are the lame ass guys. this is one of the saddest characters in cat fiction let the girlie win at least once good lord
posting like it would be her natural lot in life as a woman if ur sister got a degenerative autoimmune disease. males who are diagnosed with autoimmune disease and other majority female conditions get more sympathy from doctors and get BELIEVED by doctors. piss and moan all you want, you’re still getting better chronic illness care than women with the same diagnoses
While having in mind everything I've analyzed and read about Vash loving and wanting humans to have faith in him, despite being distant to them at the same time, this scene came to my mind. And I couldn't stop thinking about Vash's scared and ashamed face when Nai talks about the chance of Meryl and Roberto finding out about his guilt, and implicitly leaving him.
THAT. FACE. THE MOMENT OF REALIZATION. I JUST-
That Knives, who is deep in Vash's mind, trying to erase and modify all of his most important memories, pulls out specifically those two while saying that, and while psychologically torturing him, is only further proof to me that Vash really cares about them deeply, Meryl specially, being his embodiment of all his hopes in humanity, of Rem's dreams, the one who followed him and was there after waking up from one of his worst moments.
sometimes they come naturally but most of the time i just get inspired by things i come across either on my dash or on pinterest or by my other interests. like for the omega frog piece i had replayed the game abzu recently and i love the color direction and stylization of the water in it so i knew i wanted to do something with that. thus that piece was made eventually
i also sometimes ask my friends if they have any ideas and then it becomes a process of "hmmmmm do i wanna do that.....hmmmmmm" probably much to their annoyance LOL
