#which just... yikes

[ballerinafigurine]

not my mother throwing out my hydrating face toner that makes my skin soft (and also smells really nice)

#personal #her explanation is that it has hyaluronic acid which im too young to use #which just... yikes #my skin started losing elasticity when i was like 17 after being bombarded with #pimples for 8 years prior #and no dermatologist knew what to do #and i wasnt even hydrating my skin just ripping every layer of it off #no wonder it lost elasticity #thank god my gf has has the same skincare routine as me and i will be sleeping over there tonight

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.

"A strong queen is just what this country needs!"

The Irish who know the queen in question as the famine queen:

#queen charlotte #queen charlotte a bridgerton story #bridgerton spoilers #a feminist moment for the ultimate anti feminist that was queen victoria #massive yikes just thinking of her involvement in the history of my country alone #over a million people starved & the British Parliament refused to accept financial aid from abroad #if they were offering more money than Victoria because they didn't want them to outdo the queen #and what she gave was pitiful considering her wealth #indigenous people as well as literal enslaved people across the Atlantic gave more financial aid than she did #yes bridgerton is fictional but the historical figures depicted had a real world impact #so much of which is still felt today #and just because Victoria was queen and not a king it doesn't make her crowning a win for feminism #Victoria historically was very very anti feminist #i don't know enough on george iii or Charlotte to comment on them but i know plenty about Victoria #haven't cringed so hard at a line since the famine episode of victoria the things i watch for leo suter #but as much as Victoria herself was portrayed inaccurately in that ep #at least it introduced the history of the famine to people who weren't taught about it at school #bridgerton

I just heard this ad that says therapy is just "learning how to love yourself," and quite honestly, I disagree with that sentiment. I think it puts uneeded pressure on people to "love themselves."

I don't think you need to love yourself to benefit from therapy, and therapy shouldn't just be "learning to love yourself." It certainly is beneficial for some people to learn skills that we call self-love, like setting boundaries, hygiene that works for you, eating full and balanced meals that you enjoy, for instance, but that doesn't need to include this air of being in love with yourself.

I think therapy is about learning how to live with yourself. You don't have to love your flatmates (for example), but you often respect them as people. So, you'll clean up after yourself, and you'll communicate with them, and you'll even make small talk with them. That's kind of how I see therapy. You don't have to love yourself, but you often need to learn how to respect yourself, and I think those are slightly different things.

#mental health #mental health advocacy #i will be open and say i often don't love myself. but i'm learning how to respect myself so that maybe one day i WILL love myself... #...and i find the whole 'LOVE YOURSELF' to be daunting and scary because it's not where i'm at... #...and i worry that the 'LOVE YOURSELF NOW' attitude will only push people away from therapy because they're scared of that... #...it's scary to love yourself when you never learned how to do that. it's foreign and unknown... #...so you take babysteps. and if you never learn to love yourself that's fine #this isn't me saying that loving yourself is bad either. just that i don't agree that that is the WHOLE of therapy... #...and i don't think it's responsible to boil therapy down to just that #(it doesn't help that it was a betterhelp ad. which. yikes 😬. but i see that attitude elsewhere sometimes too)

#absol #they look happier than umbreon which is strange to me. umbreon being all sad and angry while absol #known widely as The Edgy pokémon‚ is like. smiling a little bit. they're vibing they're totally fine #they're glad they got to be in rescue team #you go girl. go off‚ absol. even in rescue team they didn't feel like they had a Super cohesive tie to the story besides Being There and #helping and whatever but maybe that's just rescue team being my least favorite pmd game. but maybe that's part of *why* #if i'm right. i might not be right. maybe i just didn't pay enough fuckin attention in rescue team. there's *two of them*. someone out there #must like them enough for there to be a remake. and i know the general pmd community considers rescue team better than the 3ds games bc they #'re all nostalgia-driven like all pokémon fans and think that the older games are OBVIOUSly better even though the 3ds titles are #total masterpieces just like the rest of pmd. i'm not gonna complain abt this here bc i think the general pmd fanbase on tumblr are like #generally pretty nice and appreciate the 3ds games. y'all are nice here. elsewhere it gets scary. luckily everywhere else is crashing and #burning before our eyes. score. although apparently tumblr is also trying to given the whole “collapse reblogs” thing they're doing?? #big yikes. hope that doesn't happen. anyway

2017 version of the little vampire was really boring but i enjoyed these two scenes, at least. yes those are direct redraws, the first scene really went like this, and they still had the gall to say those boys aren’t gay. sure...

do not erase the caption, use or rePOST my art (reblog ok)

#my art #fan art #the little vampire #the little vampire 3D #the little vampire 2017 #watch the 2000 version it's better #also... even tho it's a kid movie... #it actually needs a warning about lack on consent?? which is wild to me #nothing really happens but it could and a character would have went further if not stopped is implied which um #again kid movie so the implications aren't THAT bad but it still makes you go UM?? #don't remember if this also happens in the older movie #it's based on a book so if it comes from there then possibly #yikes anyway #why did i make fanart of a movie i didn't even like? #was just that bored and had to draw to make the movie pass faster

okay one last thing on the somerton thing.

im really not trying to do the whole 'i never liked him anyway thing' here but. it really goes to show how sometimes casual misogyny is just accepted in media analysis. many people i know had long since been turned off by this guys behaviour (which was apparently worse then i knew - dude straight up went on rants that queer women had it 'better' then men)

and im just. the fact that this wouldve been allowed to continue if not for the plagarism coming out?

I think there's gotta be some real thinkin on the type of behavior allowed here, and how often men, even queer men, get away with shitting on women

#he also misgendered nonbinary and transmasc creators mentioned at one point #oh and apparently he also said aphobic stuff which i saw some ppl talkin about #just yikes all around #the prophet speaks

[vulturevanity]

normal thing to say about your dear friend who you think is really cute and charming and hard-working and basically the perfect wife material

#hamefura #my next life as a villainess #otome game no hametsu flag #aaand rewatch done! now my honest thoughts #good start. the middle is kinda boring. ep 8 doesn't exist don't worry about it #this anime draws me in in the same way that Futari Wa does #in that it has a fascinating main cast and a very vague skeleton of a worldbuilding that leaves me wanting to overthink it #unstructured thoughts incoming: #Geordo's still a creep and no matter how much the story wants me to like him I just can't #Keith's siscon is very Yikes! and that's so bad because I love his and Katarina's relationship as siblings #Katarina lowkey thinks Sophia is a freak but never kinkshames her and that's so bestiecore of her. they're soulmates your honor #Mary is SUCH A LESBIAN holy shit. I did not remember how much lesbian she is #I'm lowkey annoyed that the show frames her attraction to Katarina as “haha funny isn't she weird?!” #like in the sleepover episode she was describing the things she'd like to do with her beloved and she's being like. normal about it #but the soundtrack does a silly and I'm like. wow this anime does not like her huh #I swear Geordo and Keith are even weirder about Katarina than she is but the anime always gives them slack about it #unless they're having their homoerotic squabbles. which is to say the anime does Not Like The Queer Coding of the story #I'm sure there are worse examples of weeb homophobia but there are a couple moments I saw in the manga but not here! #anyway where was I. Oh right. Ascart Sibs Autusm 👍🏼 #Nicol doesn't have much presence in the story due to his quiet nature which is so sad because his inner world is intriguing #he's such a good friend. loyal and caring. I wish we got more of him in this season #and finally: Maria. God. what is there to say about her that I haven't already #the girl came in with a 7 year disadvantage on her rivals and yet Katarina is all over her! #rewatching season 1 is so weird because I could swear she had more presence than she really does because holy shit #Katarina loves her! so much! wtf #maybe I'm remembering season 2? #anyway these are my thoughts on doomflags season 1 #2nd watch edition #oh I almost forgot #romance in chiaroscuro

[marsipain]

Genuine question, why do some people hc Kai to have green eyes? Is there something I’m missing? It just seems so- idek, out of the blue ig? 😭 (this is a genuine question, not trying to sound judgy or anything)

#like usually they’re super bright green too and i just donttt get it??? #usually when i see unnatural eye hcs i’m like oh yeah it’s bc of their powers but #clearly green isn’t in that category #and MOST people i see who draw it don’t exactly hc him as white (which if you do YIKES) #idk it just confuses me and ig i wanna hear peoples reasons #marsipain speaks

[carnivalcarriondiscarded]

I need you to know how much I'm literally bouncing off the walls because of your writing!!!!! Every time you post a snippet my brain is recalibrated and I only think about it for the next few hours IT'S SOOO GOOD🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

If it's okay to know, is the cult mentioned in the recent fantasy au snippet an actual cult unlike in the modern au, and are they connected to Wally or warlocks in some way?

I hope you're having a good day/night whenever and wherever you are 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽

!!!! Yippee!!!! Thank You!

no no this is an actual cult lol - there's a whole plot in my mind of them going after Home and successfully separating them from Wally. they're a big problem! i guess they're not connected except in the fact that they want to have a demon at their command, and demons in this universe are very rare / hard to find. Home seemed like easy pickings! and it kinda was! the cult's plan would have gone off without a hitch, except for two things

one, this particular demon is unusually attached to its host. two, there is a group of ragtag maniacs hellbent on hunting them down and reversing what they've done <3

#i hope you're having a good timezone as well! #its tough to target a demon through typical means #so targeting them through a warlock - who are the most likely means to have easy demon access - is a lot easier #time the ambush right and get the ritual correct - bam! #demon and host have been Separated! #if done correctly the seal will be removed entirely intact so the demon is still chained to its confines and tethered to the mortal realm #wh fantasy au #rambles from the bog #and unfortunately home's seal is very easy to get to once wally is restrained! #its just a lil necklace <3 #which is part of why he always hides it #its very obviously a seal to those who would recognize that sort of thing #so its like a huge beacon of DEMON!!! DEMON RIGHT HERE!!! VULNERABLE DEMON!!! COME AND GET EM! #not all warlocks host demons - in fact most dont #but those that do have to keep that shit Quiet #i mean their society already hates and fears warlocks. but a warlock with a Demon??? yikes. scary way to live #but for wally its quite literally the Only way to live! so! no way around that <3

Everyone in my life knows that i don’t really need or respond right to people trying to comfort me so instead i have just been receiving So Much soup lately and like at my future gf i’m sorry i’ll probably suck at comforting you but i DO have a pretty banger soup recipe for you

#wlw #wlw mood #sapphic #sapphism #lesbian #everyone i know looking at me rn: yikes don’t know how to deal with that better leave it to The Soup #the soup helps #idk just sorta realized i had a comforting soup recipe to make for someone some day #which is just a really comforting idea to me #im gay and i like sleeping

[spitblaze]

its one thing for a woman to blow off steam about how shes treated at the hands of the patriarchy, to say ‘god i hate men’ and leave it at that, its quite another to genuinely believe that anything (arbitrarily) associated with men or masculinity is, in and of itself, bad, and anything (arbitrarily) associated with women or femininity is, in and of itself, good. For sure, feel free to engage in positivity around the things that women are so often shamed for, but when you see people saying that stuff is inherently ‘divine’ or that certain body parts are blanket ‘bad’ or ‘evil’...maybe just ask yourself why someone would pass that kind of judgement on a concept or object that has no inherent moral weight.

#spitblaze says things #listen. i grew up with menstrual cramps so fuckin bad i had to leave school early half the time #so for me it was ALWAYS like 'ugh whatever' when i saw Period Positivity shit #like 'its a beautiful reminder of Wombynhood so always celebrate it uwu' #yea okay ill have a great time celebrating it in immense pain asshole #but then i learned about terfs. which i referred to once as 'people who are supremacist about having a vulva' #and one of them just. unironically adopted it as something Cool and Good so. yikes #anyway. nothin wrong with going 'woo yay women' #love a good Woman #but be aware theres weirdos who think the solution to patriarchial issues #is to. uh. just...have a society with no men because nothing can possibly be done??????? #great plan guys #also they get super chummy with all sorts of other chuds surprise surprise #a rad/-fem is just a few conversations with a catholic away from being a trad/-fem at any given time

[stevethehairington]
