I don’t know if there really is any science behind workout routines separated by sex, but even if there is benefit to doing exercise “for women” i don’t give a shit. and i will intentionally seek out guides made For Men. because by and large, this is how the different video thumbnails shake out

#especially when you are explicitly looking at strength training but the focal point of the thumbnail is still thinness #and the girl always in something of this type of pose.#if there's a dude in the thumbnail w his shirt off also he's facing the camera directly and looking Bulky as fuck #so even that doesn't compare At All #but half the time it is literally a guy just talking. in the thumbnail.#anyway if you want to be strong as a Wamen you need to wear tight little yoga shorts first #sergle.txt #i'm not trying to get sexy i'm trying to get strong. killing you killing you killing you #I realize that fitness IN GENERAL is very Thinness and Attractiveness-centric but it's worse if you type 'for women'

I found it funny (derogatory) that the 456 announcement trailer, when showing off all of the major characters in each of the games, showed Edgeworth in DD. that guy barely even does anything there. but it's obvious they put him in because Edgeworth's one of their most popular characters and showing him off in the trailer is more likely to interest trilogy fans.

now, if only there was some way they could promote Edgeworth in a larger role. say, if he was the protagonist of some other ace attorney games. which they could port to all modern platforms. I bet that would interest a lot of people. if only it was possible.

#ace attorney #also noticed going through it again that trucy doesn't get a highlight for 5 or 6 #which makes sense since they all but wrote her out #but even athena doesn't get a soj highlight #seeing them zoom in on apollo when he's so obviously not the focal character of the 5&6 posters gets funnier to me every time #like that one pointing at the tiny window spongebob meme

why must everything that the text clearly states atp be misconstrued like i really dont get it he has plenty of flaws in that relationship but we, and cersei, know that he was ready to kill robert for just the disrespect of the cheating if cersei said the word. he doesnt concern himself with the personal consequences, he is reckless, detached from a lot of things, and can close his eyes at the future if he doesn’t want to acknowledge it. also the concern over the “shame” and ned type judgement feels so overestimated to me atp. he never regrets aerys, he is mad at how he is perceived (but again, notably doesnt try to rectify it by telling the truth for a lot of complex reasons), but he would never take it back. if he believes its the right thing to do, and is not overdosing on copium trying to juggle vows he cares about, he will do it, reputation be damned. though he has selfish concerns regarding being viewed as good, the internal matters so much more than the external: see weirwood dream: who actually shows up? what makes the fire go out? “it was not him. it was never him”, see the trebuchet fiasco, see the choice in adwd. why shouldnt we take cersei at face value when she implies that if jaime knew about the physical abuse he would have killed him? he loves and cares about cersei to an insane degree, even if he can be selfish toxic and unhealthy too. i really find it very very difficult to imagine that he wouldnt have killed him based on almost every single part of his characterization.

#ik its better to reply than to do this but i dont use my twitter for fandom and i keep seeing this general sentiment over and over again #like it makes him so inconsistent and nonsensical #i don’t understand this whole jaime was never there for cersei prehandloss he was at her disposal for almost everything he would have maimed #a child just bc she asked like what???#u think that wouldnt have shamed him??#he gave up almost everything for her at 15 #and im gonna be real if u r frustrated by jaime burning the letter being framed as this grand triumphant redemptive choice #by people #which i get i dont think its framed like that either #its just as unfair to treat it as the opposite #it is the end of a certain delusion #which is why the joanna dream is the focal point #and #he can divorce himself he has no obligation to die to try save her atp #and remain her sword #i dont see him as the literal devil for that sorry #i feel like some of u feel the need to misconstrue his character to make some of these choices out to be as bad as possible

The Tudors ran so Wulf Hall could shuffle awkwardly around reiterating the same tired old Tudor stereotypes while claiming to be something new.

#It's so funny but as a historian I will genuinely defend 'The Tudors' to the death even with all its problems #Because it did was so few other Tudor shows/movies/media have ever done #And that is: it focused on things BEYOND just Henry and his wives.#Yes Henry was the focal point which makes SENSE but that's just it:#HENRY was the focal point. Most other Tudor media pieces have one of the wives (usually Catherine/Anne) as the focus and doesn't delve muc #Into the history or what was happening in England beyond the King's Great Matter.#The Tudors went ALL out. Yes they didn't get everything right but the fact that they tried and spotlighted so many other #Historical characters and events? The Pilgrimage of Grace? Actually LOOKING at the religious issues even if they weren't always accurate?#(Like with Aske for example. BUT AT LEAST THEY INCLUDED ROBERT ASKE like good lord it's like other Tudor media forgets everything else)#Focusing on Cromwell but also the Seymour brothers? The politics behind Henry? Even Brandon as annoying as his storylines could get.#Even smaller characters like Tallis and Gardiner and other Reformation and Counter-Reformation figures.#The fact that they featured the Reformation and Counter-Reformation AT ALL let alone tried to dive into the complexities of England's #religious crises. The burning of Anne Askew even? People having to navigate England's increasingly unstable religious situations?#The series hit its peak after the CoA/Anne stuff was over imho. Yes Cranmer and Norfolk annoyingly vanished despite being major figures in #the R/CR and they combined Mary and Margaret but god the Tudors did SO MUCH that NO OTHER PIECE OF TUDORS MEDIA has EVER DONE.#It looked BEYOND Henry BEYOND his wives and tried to paint a comprehensive pictur of a deeply troubling and divisive time in English histor #And it did so without demonising one side and it was just so good for so many reasons that I forgive its errors because damn did they TRY.#Tried in a way no one else ever has (no Wulf Hall did not I'm sorry)#(Wulf Hall was just the same old stereotypes rehashed and branded as something 'original' because it was from Cromwell's POV but again.#Same old stereotypes. Nothing actually original about anything else.)#The Tudors is so underrated for what it tried to do and what it achieved and I am reaching the tag limit but UGH god. Amazing.#Not even getting into how wonderful they were with Mary Tudor/Mary I herself and showing figures around her #Because that would be another tag essay considering the subject of my thesis.#Flawed but wonderful.#text #chey.txt

Aight, look, Good Omens 2 empirically does not need to happen. The book was a complete narrative that concluded satisfyingly, was adapted quite well, one of the co-authors has passed away, the story is over. It is inherently superfluous.

BUT. I am so very deeply exited for Neil Gaiman and John Finnemore's high concept Terry Pratchett tribute fanfiction featuring wacky mysteries, hopefully even more Best of Queen, and gothgirl David Tennant. That sounds rad to me.

#also #and i've talked about it before #the first season of good omens seemed like it lacked some je ne sais quoi idk #it felt a little less whimsical and intimate than the book #i'd guess it's something to do with #how narration heavy the book is and how there's probably as much depth and humor and character in the narration as in the dialogue #and making the focal point Aziraphale and Crowley (a very good move!!) leaves even less time than usual #to put that depth back into the other characters through on-screen action #but this season seems to have a more streamlined ensemble and more time for character building (25 MINUTE MINISODES?! DUDE!!)#and from what i've seen and heard from season 2 it is nothing BUT whimsical and intimate #what i'm trying to get at is like. this is the very definition of a Sequal. not a second act. a Sequal.#but i am so very exited #good omens #good omens 2 #aziraphale #crowley #neil gaiman

if someone calls Sam a homophobe in a post you can trust that their entire post is bullshit, btw, no matter how long it is.

#incoherents #i'm getting bitter in my old age (been on spn tumblr for years)#like this isn't bc sam's sexuality is actual the focal point of why people misperceive him #usually that is deangirl brainrot that makes them victim blame or justify Dean's abuse of Sam #but if they call him a homophobe that means they're probably suffering from that deangirl brainrot #i'm being so mean but just so everyone who sees this knows this is inspired by a post by someone who is blocked and can't see this #sam winchester #wank cw #sammy #spn #supernatural

not to get top surgery and then Immediately start rambling about ybc again but like the thing about ybc is . the thing is. the thing is that it's this direct fucking correlation to fob's career trajectory and the turbulence of the hiatus. and i dont know how much of this was intentional or not but the THING about the hiatus is that it seeps into everything they do in this weird wild unfathomable way. like it or not, it is a very distinct "before and after" point. like it's the darkest point in the band's history, and in many ways in each member's individual histories, and ybc is basically a whole narrative crafted around this because it was about their resurgence and return and the phoenix rising from the ashes.

ybc as a narrative starts because of a briefcase. a not insignificant portion of this narrative revolves around this case, and it contains something that we never see. the case contains something terrible. it contains something that the band members are afraid of but overjoyed to have and nonetheless fight and kill each other to protect (pete could feel the band slipping away but wrote about it anyway. patrick and joe were disillusioned and tired and wanted a break from it all). pete clings to this briefcase and shields it with his body at the very end, DIES to protect it (pete was the only one who didn't want the hiatus and didn't know what he was outside of fall out boy). patrick physically ties the case to his body and it has to be cleaved from him, painfully (killing the band arguably nearly killed his career in music). this is a story that starts with the band's faces bathed in a radiant golden glow of something full of so much promise...that subsequently crushes them beneath its heel, mangles them, tortures them, drags them through hell, divides them again and again and again and again (the band became so much bigger than any of them dreamed and yet if they'd never taken the break, it would have broken the band eventually). their lives are uprooted and ruined and ruptured because of it. they tied themselves to this thing that pulled them apart, brutally, in more ways than one.

did they mean it? did they mean it when this case became stained, literally, with their blood? did they mean it when, immediately upon obtaining this case, the band was separated from each other and were quickly captured and tortured? when the case was seized by forces other than themselves? did they mean it when a group of literal kids beat the shit out of the band and left them for dead (it's been years and pete still calls us that - the kids)? when patrick was warped into something uncontrollably monstrous, possessed of a deep-seated hatred toward music as a very concept? when patrick was the one to kill joe, who then went to the platonic ideal of sex drugs and rock and roll hell? when andy died alone, defending something without any backup or hope for resolution? when patrick and pete were the last two standing who murdered each other over this thing, coughing blood in the dust while the spectators gathered around to root hungrily for their demise? when the pair of them died side by side, seemingly unable to survive without one another?

it's this briefcase that contains something ruinous and horrible that rises to tear the band apart (again) but at which the band members do not so much as flinch as they face this fucking thing down. this thing that became so much bigger than they were and threatened to consume them. this thing that they protected and fought and died for and swore to love and defend even as it wanted to rip them apart. and did they mean that? did they mean it when they chose to forgive one another for all their wrongdoings without hesitation and walk back into a world that had been nothing but unkind to them, and fight for it regardless? did they mean this glorious and inexplicable conclusion, white light crashing into red and sending forth a wave of blood that lapped up against the very fucking gates of heaven?

the band had been together for something like a year when this story ended. and i think at this point there was no real knowing whether there'd be a resolution. and maybe on some level they will always feel that push. that adversity. there will always be something they must go up against, some by their own design, some external. but if they have each other -

well. you know how it goes. they've got each other. and that's enough.

fuck, but as long as they have each other, it's enough.

#*making poasts #not to get top surgery and immediately go insane but i was rereading some chat logs between kell and me and i had to share #like the whole thing is so painfully allegorical and i dont know how much they MEANT FOR THIS #but how much do they ever?? mean for it??#like it serves as such a focal point for the bands trajectory that it just leaks into everything and rUINS MY LIFE EVERY TIME

Ah.

So therein lies the source of the competition.

#interesting.#barry and iris were missing at that time as well but it was 'wheres wally?'#this might be one of the very few times one of these isn't about Barry tbh #but i get it. Bart and Wally got pretty close right before the reboot. they've got a whole brotherly bond thing going on #so this makes sense for him. i mean just look at how Bart reacted when Barry came back.#he was mad because Wally was Bart's Flash and he didn't want Barry coming in and messing that up #so Bart is fairly protective over his relationship with Wally #and Ace? i mean Ace is Wally's brother. like literally. also Ace is Wally's Kid Flash. Ace is Wally's first Kid Flash #(Bart was an independent contractor)#so Ace has a mentor and brotherly relationship to protect #also on top of that? Ace had/has a mentor relationship with Barry that didn't go so great. Ace knows what its like for that bond to weaken #and he DOESN'T LIKE IT #so Ace has stake in the game. he has trauma and hes not letting this Flash go #actually really interesting because i thought itd be about Jay or Barry tbh with Wally being a mediator of sorts.#with him sharing about how he struggled with those same feelings and issues when he was younger #but nah hes the focal point apparently which is wild. thats kinda new territory. it's interesting. i like it #dc #dc comics #the flash #kid flash #wally west #impulse #bart allen #ace west #wallace west #one minute war

still losing my mind at the way houses relationship with john would have fucked up the way he sees being an omega. just,,, teen house, young and confused, experiencing these absoloutely brutal heats. not understanding why they are so bad and hard when theyre supposed to be a time where an omega feels good. already feeling broken and wrong, and then having to face john's anger and disappointment over him being an omega

like i can only imagine how it would affect him in heat, a time where he would be less able to think coherently. and constantly remembering how traumatic and horrible his heats as a teen were, the memory making him feel bad and in turn making him feel physically worse. just like,,, a constant feedback loop of remembering and feeling bad -> feeling physically worse in turn -> reminding himself even more of his childhood and feeling worse

i feel like after having to deal with his first few heats without a strong family net to acclimate to the changes, once house is outta there and doing his own thing he tries to never deal with his heats alone. he marks his cycle religiously, makes deals with alphas in med school to help him through them, or even finds street suppressants if he's especially desperate.

man. you just know john has put him outside for some of his heats, too. nothing to nest with, no scent blocking patches, just left him in the yard like a sacrificial lamb. it goes without saying how dangerous that is.

hell, once he's employed i wouldn't be surprised if he stole something from the hospital to bring home in case a heat comes up that he can't deal with, something that'll knock him out for the worst of it.
