#topical wash

[inkskinned]

love when men cry about body hair bc "it's hygiene" and yet 15% of cis men leave the bathroom without washing their hands at all and an additional 35% only just wet their hands without using soap. that is nearly half of all men. that means statistically you have probably shaken hands with or been in direct contact with one of these people.

love when men say that women "only want money" when it turns out that even in equal-earning homes, women are actually adding caregiver burdens and housework from previous years, whereas men have been expanding leisure time and hobbies. in equal-earning households, men spend an average of 3.5 hours extra in leisure time per week, which is 182 hours per year - a little over a week of paid vacation time that the other partner does not receive. kinda sounds like he wants her money.

love that men have decided women are frail and weak and annoying when we scream in surprise but it turns out it's actually women who are more reliable in an emergency because men need to be convinced to actually take action and respond to the threat. like, actually, for-real: men experience such a strong sense of pride about their pre-supposed abilities that it gets them and their families killed. they are so used to dismissing women that it literally kills them.

love it. told my father this and he said there's lies, damned lies, and statistics. a year ago i tried to get him to evacuate the house during a flash flood. he ignored me and got injured. he has told me, laughing, that he never washes his hands. he has said in the last week that women are just happier when we're cooking or cleaning.

maybe i'm overly nostalgic. but it didn't used to feel so fucking bleak. it used to feel like at least a little shameful to consider women to be sheep. it just feels like the earth is round and we are still having conversations about it being flat - except these conversations are about the most obvious forms of patriarchy. like, we know about this stuff. we've known since well before the 50's.

recently andrew tate tried to justify cheating on his partner as being the "male prerogative." i don't know what the prerogative for the rest of us would be. just sitting at home, watching the slow erosion of our humanity.

#writeblr #warm up #ps edited so it is more clear where “half” of men is coming from: #15% literally don't even touch water #an ADDITIONAL 35% ''wash'' by just running their hands under water WITHOUT SOAP #15+35 =50% #like that is not washing ur hands. go back and use soap #btw the numbers for women are 4% never washing and 15% ''just water'' #which is still gross but like. sooo much better yikes #ps i know we're all gay on this site but watching ppl ''correct'' my math on this has been wild #i have a learning disability im genuinely bad at math so i check EVERY time someone corrects me #but no they're just confidently wrong..... #182 hours is a week babes. 182/24 (number of hours in a day) is ~7.6 #that's where i got that number from. also from rent we know there's 168 hours in a week. #ALSO btw if u read this and ur response is ''men are also struggling rn tho'' like babe you missed the point of it tho #this doesn't even make fun of men it's legit just pointing out that bigotry against women isn't founded #in anything men actually CARE about . like they don't actually CARE about ''being clean'' when they make fun of armpit hair #or they would be WASHING THEIR HANDS. #men pretend to be rollin' in cash and Apex Predators and instead they are trained to be lazy and unwilling to act in emergencies #i have never and will never make fun of men for asking for more support on important topics like DV and mental health. #this is so clearly not about men; it's about how common just being plainly misogynistic has become. #like they don't try to hide it anymore.

I just got so Mad At A Tumblr Post and I'm trying so hard to be a normal person and not be Mad At A Tumblr Post

#i can't do this to myself i can't fume at the computer..... #GOD i hate when ppl w/o chronic pain speak as an authority on the topic. #sergle.txt #like hey you actually have none of the qualifications required to make authoritative statements about pain management lmao #I can never decide when to tell myself to let stupid shit pass me by and be well adjusted and prioritize my own Time and Blood Pressure #and just let it wash over me. water off a duck's back #and when it's time for me to write an entire essay on some stupid shit that pissed me off that some rando said

[lleclercism]

my goat is the guy that despite knowing his car doesn't suit him (and especially doesn't suit this track) he still puts in the work through every weekend to understand what he needs to do even if it's the opposite of his driving style - and he doesn't change who he is, from friday to sunday he just adapts to it. puts 3 tenths on his teammate and was only 0.050 behind norris who just got some good fucking upgrades likee

#but remember he is washed !!! and ***** is on his prime !!! #idk this topic gets me mad bc its situations like these where the good drivers show up and you know exactly who that is #but its totally fine and normal and ok when leclerc is not the punching bag!!! when ppl cant shit on him for breathing #charles leclerc #good night world its fucking 5 am #also sorry but i just love charles mentality ik we always make fun of him for being silly but his brain is genuinely impressive #the way he sees the world and how outside of the box his mentality is . one of his biggest strengths fr

[retrodynamics]

remember when the P5 stage show did a new name for Joker every show as a cute nod to the games? And they didn’t even know that half a world a way they were setting certain niches of the English speaking fandom on fire because they were obsessed with him having only One True Canon name to argue about.

#I love persona fandom drama #I mean it sucks #but it’s comforting and nostalgic because it’s only the same four topics in an endless cycle #it’s the kind of annoying shit I can just let wash over me

[irregularbillcipher]

i love bill cipher but i cannot STAND people actually thinking he's cool and smart. bill cipher puts bibles in the fiction section in barnes and noble and shows all the henchmaniacs and all of them just go "that's great bill" and the only one who laughs is teeth

#bill: normal is just a setting on a washing machine #gideon: alright d'ya have any advice that's not from hot topic

A little comedy drabble for @kyanako5972 in return for their very impressive musical skills! (The Jailbreak mix wouldn't have fit together without ya👍) Fuuta gets his hands on some slime... They've done some art for it here :3

[I couldn't think of something funny enough, but insert broadway bootleg Milgram Slime Tutorial joke here]

Fuuta was open-minded. Of course he was. He was the most open-minded guy here. He knew that vengeance could come in many shapes. Sometimes it took the form of beautiful, poetic violence. Sometimes it was cutting words and a grand victory. And other times, it appeared as sticky craft slime. You just had to have an open mind to see it.

Not everyone was in as receptive of a mood. 

“A-are you sure it’s not a, a toy?” Haruka asked.

“It’s not.”

“B-but,” he pointed, “it’s --”

“No! It’s a weapon.”

“I don’t know if you know what a weapon is…” Amane looked down at the table. “You couldn’t have requested something a bit more… sharp?”

“Eh!? This is a pri-son. Like they’re gonna give me something like that. I’ve got to take matters into my own hands.”

To prove his point, he picked up his creation. The color wasn’t as flashy as the others’, but it held the perfect consistency for what he needed. It had taken some time to formulate the perfect plan of attack. There were rules he had to work around, after all. (No matter how open-minded he was, rules were rules.) There was a no-violence ban. Fuuta had already tested that one -- several times, actually -- and was sure he couldn’t get around it. Their requests were monitored, and it wasn’t as if he could go and order weapons. And then, even if he did get his hands on something truly dangerous, the original ban would stop him from using it. That left him with only one option.

“It’s definitely a toy. The others are playing with it.” It was true, Haruka, Muu and Yuno had their own colorful creations. Amane herself hadn’t grabbed any, though she sat with her eyes glued hungrily on the others’ projects. Her interest in it wasn’t helping Fuuta’s case.

“Exactly, it’s the perfect disguise! They’ll never see it coming.”

“There’s nothing to see coming…”

Muu poked at hers. “Look~ Mine’s cute and pink, see? I’m even going to add some glitter when Haruka’s finished with it.”

“I-I Uh, I think I added too much… sorry…” Haruka’s slime had lost all appealing texture, turned into a clumpy, sparkling mess.

Fuuta heaved the loudest sigh he could manage, but the others continued paying him no mind. He was doing this for them, shouldn’t they care? Es had slapped Haruka during his interrogation, for god’s sake! That was child abuse! Yuno was only a year older and returned from her interrogation with complaints of violence! And Fuuta --! Well, he actually hadn’t experienced any of that, but that didn’t matter. No hero of justice would let all that go unpunished. 

His moment came quicker than expected. He’d planned on ambushing Es coming in or out of their room, but they surprised everyone by coming into the common area. It was fate.

“I heard you all were playing with some crafts in here.”

Amane glanced at Fuuta. He shot her a look back that meant “don’t say a single word.” His exaggerated expression only drew Es’ attention.

“Something to say, prisoner three?”

“Yeah!” He wound up his arm. 

He had an open mind, but not necessarily a quick one. With more time, he could have come up with a righteous cry, something along the lines of: “this is for Haruka and Yuno, you damned scoundrel!” Or even: “meet your judgment, tyrant!”

But as the slime came careening toward’s Es’ face, the only thing he managed was, “fuck you!”

Splat.

The common room fell silent. Fuuta froze. The slime had hit its mark perfectly. It hit Es squarely on the side of the head. It splattered onto their hat. A good deal had tangled itself in their hair. It oozed toward their shoulder, clumps falling onto the uniform. As they tried to wipe it from their face, the material clung to their gloves, getting stuck between their fingers. 

Their eyes moved slowly from their ruined clothes to Fuuta’s still outstretched hand, to his face. “I see.”

They turned on their heel and left.

“That’ll teach ya!” He called out, a moment too late after they’d gone. He turned to Amane, who was watching with a mix of amusement and disappointment. “There’s no way that stuff’s washing out easy. Maybe they’ll have to put on a spare uniform in the meantime.” 

“You shouldn’t have made them so mad,” she said.

“Pah! What’s the brat gonna do? Name me guilty over it?”

#milgram #fuuta kajiyama #es #amane momose #thank you for your help!!! i was just expecting a few little pointers and you had whole pictures and thorough info -- im so grateful ;-; #(and so impressed >:0) #not pictured here: es sitting dejected in their room because it really doesnt wash out easily and they have to tell jackalope what happened #that OR they have a closet comically full of identical uniforms and return in like five minutes perfectly clean and it makes fuuta So Mad 😂 #at first i kept getting off topic and focusing too much on the others but i think haruka would find the slime very soothing :') #muu would make a bright green one at one point making es do a double take #alternate version where fuuta tells amane she can get back at shidou in the same way and she gets to play with slime as well 👏✨ #fuuta 'this is a pri-son' kajiyama..... #i love the thought of him having all these dramatic visions of knights and righteousness and absolutely none of it translating irl #hes just so very uncool and i love him for it 😌 #im excited for the ice cream request -- ive been toying around with possibilities... #drabbles

[tvckerwash]

actually re my "locus being a foil to wash makes no sense" post, you know who would've made an absolutely fantastic foil to wash? felix.

wash and felix are far more similar to one another than wash and locus ever were, I mean they're both charismatic extroverts who are able to make friends wherever they go (or at the very least, they're both very good at making people lower their guards so they're not perceived as threats and are able to assimilate themselves into established social circles very well) with that charismatic persona hiding the darkness and brutality that exists beneath the surface (wash's violent anger issues and inability to let things go, felix being well. you know).

I mean when felix and locus hijacked the tartarus (that's the name of the prison ship w sharkface and price right?) when locus announced it to the prisoners and all he got in response was a "and who the fuck are you?" and felix said "maybe let the people person handle this"? that whole scene felt very reminiscent of wash playing mediator between carolina and the bgc in s10, specifically that scene near the beginning where carolina is trying to get the bgc to "sync" with her and after complete silence from the bgc wash had to go "oh when she says that, just say sync" comes to mind.

and I mean you cannot convince me that tucker didn't latch onto felix like he did because he portrayed himself as the perfect mix between church's self absorbed asshole bitchy-ness and wash's snark riddled genuine care and earnesty—like come on, COME ON!!

even the fake rivalry and history between felix and locus being felix's cover story for fighting on chorus could very easily be applied to wash and his drive and desire to take down the meta and pfl back in s6 imo.

tldr; felix should've been wash's foil on chorus and locus should've been carolina's

#mine #rvb #completely off topic but the only other freelancer who is as extroverted as wash is probably york but he's extroverted in the opposite way #york is extroverted in a “has no filter and is physically incapable of shutting the fuck up” kind of way lmao #anyway i feel like this post is poorly worded but i hope i still get my point across lol

[zeawesomebirdie]

God okay not to be a 25 year old grandpa yelling at the clouds on main again, but the decline in fabric quality over the last twenty years is just horrific. I just ran like 30 vintage handkerchiefs through the washer and dryer, and all of them have not only survived unscathed, they've all pressed better than some of the modern dress shirts I own. Some of these handkerchiefs are from the 60s, if not earlier. I'm so annoyed by fast fashion this is fucking ridiculous

#if i had the energy i could give a whole entire essay on this topic #jfc this is just #oh im so annoyed #you know which hankies were the ones that started unraveling in the wash? #the ones from the early 2010s #this is just ridiculous!!!!!

my poor little dog is so sad and uncomfy lately :( he was doing so well but whatever is wrong with him is back and now he’s MISERABLE

#maybe he looks it to us #and the rash thing looks so bad!!! all of a sudden!!!! after being so good and better!!!!!! #we’re taking him to an emergency vet tomorrow because we need to figure it out #his real vet was fine but it took three tries of meds and stuff to help and then. it didn’t even stick. so #if anyone has experience treating their dog with some severe uhhhh #malassezia dermatitis. let me know. you’re suggestions. i’m begging. #(he’s wearing a cone and we’re trying to wash the area with topical shampoo but only so much helps) #and i’m so sad looking at him :( #we also just changed his food so maybe that’ll help :( idk what to do now :( #your* suggestions UGH

[gaytheropods]

I would start asking men if they wash their hands after using the men's room prior to shaking hands if it wouldn't get me on bad terms with every cis man on earth

#too many people walking out without washing their hands after using a urinal. gross shit #I know first hand that urinals are a pain to clean and really are just never clean (used to be a janitor) #and I dont gaf if you didn't touch anything in the bathroom bc you opened the door and that's enough to warrant a hand wash #also just.... #regularly washing your hands didn't hurt anyone #actually I'm getting off topic but can we ban urinals forever please #lizard screaming

*places some headcannons for alejandro and graves*

-both can cook, they argue on who's on cooking duties

-phil is suprisingling the first one to wake up, while ale sleeps in

-graves can and will give out really shitty puns, because he thinks he's punny : )

-graves probably had a cactus garden or just a normal garden, because nothings better then your home grown vegetables and fruit

-graves has freckled, alejandro traces them in kisses, graves chuckled

-alejandro has the 50 step skin and hair care routine, Phil uses 3 in 1 shampoo, conditioner and body gel, ale has shifted his attention to the diffrent bottles you can get

-both hard coffee drinkers

Maybe more on the way?

*shrugs*

*accepts the offering gently*

100% agree on the cooking. they fight for the stove

assimilating graves and freckles into my main headcanon list. how did i not think about this before.

also to my shame im a sucker for shitty puns so i wholeheartedly support this too

#the one and only hill i'll die on tho: don't be shy reverse their roles in the skin and hair care routine topic #the thought of alejandro not putting any effort but still being a 10 is so funny to me #and graves being jealous because if he doesn't wash and style his hair every morning he looks like he just survived a hurricane #alegraves #alejandro vargas #phillip graves

objectum culture is almost rear-ending someone because you were too busy doing a double take at the handsome semi that appeared next to you on the road. (it actually wasnt much of a close call, but i was distracted for a moment. god what a pretty lad) - alvie

#objectum #actually objectum #objectum culture #objectum culture is #reminds me of when i almost wrecked my moped while admiring a cute car wash #i did wreck him later tho #the roads were wet and my tire pressure was... not it #anyway #what was the topic? #alvie anon

telling random people that they probably have to shampoo their hair less than they think is a thankless job that no one listens to me for but someone must be a prophet that walks the earth

#my post #people are like wow how does your hair look so good? #1. the cheapest conditioner i can find that doesn't have parabens #2. i only shampoo (also with very cheap shampoo without parabens i personally use the tea tree stuff from tj's) once every two weeks #this amount of time will be different for everyone and sometimes people do just produce so much oil naturally they should be washing a lot #but i've heard a lot of people me included your hair basically recalibrates after a bit and my hair is like never greasy except shampoo day #3. a few sprays of de-frizzer when still wet because my hair is really curly and it does frizz and i don't love that look. that's it #this is obviously not universal but if you like your natural hair you probably don't have to do as much with it as you think #like letting it do its thing will probably make it healthier and you're not reliant on ten different random products from megacorps. yanno. #*note this is mainly advice for curly hair idk what straight hair maintenance is like. i've heard the shampoo thing is pretty universal tho #also this is not a new topic i just was talking to someone yesterday and they were like oh well my daughter uses this incredibly #expensive shampoo and wants hair like yours and i'm like she should use nothing at all and the lady was like no she won't like that
