I cannot relate to people who dislike female characters for “being manipulative.” She’s literally creative problem solving before your eyes. She’s literally just using her words. Maybe the other blorbos should be less pawn-like for her beautiful hands hmm

It is very revealing when sex-negative Puritans accuse a person of pedophilia simply for dating a person who is short, or who looks vaguely young... they conceive of the problem being the wrong kind of attraction, rather than the exploitation of power.

and once you believe attraction itself can be inherently damaging, it is not a leap to claim that a person cannot ever fantasize or masturbate a friend without their consent, for example, or even just that being openly gay is child abuse/grooming. it is a reactionary position. but you see lots of queer people believing in some form of it.

I know I joke about hurricanes, because I am a Floridian and that's what we do. But that's because they're Normal, and so all Floridians know the Hurricane Rules. We know how the song and dance goes. West Coasters don't know the Hurricane Rules. You've never needed to know the Hurricane Rules. You guys know the Earthquake Rules, because that's Normal. But because of climate change, Hillary and her cousins are probably going to be a more common occurrence for the southwest. So here are the Hurricane Rules, straight from the Floridian's keyboard.

1: Assume the forecast is going to be wrong, and reality is going to be worse. Get your water jugs and batteries, get your Hurricane Cake, stack the sandbags, board the windows, and put your electronics on a high shelf. And if the NOAA says "category 5" and "landfall" in the same sentence without a "will not" in there, you pack your bags and get the fuck out.

2: Do not fucking go outside. There's surprisingly little lightning in a hurricane, but that's not the problem. It's the wind. The wind will knock you off your feet, either outright or by flinging heavy debris at you. You will not get back up again.

3: If the wind doesn't get you, the water will. Even after the storm has passed, stay the hell away from moving water, both on foot and in a vehicle. When the the flooding has settled down, then you break out the flat bottoms and jet skis and kayaks. Don't fucking swim in it, okay? Don't. The southwest may not have alligators like we do, but all the same you do NOT want to know what's in there. (It's mostly sewage.)

Also, your soil isn't built for inundation, and you've got hills there. Mudslides are going to happen, so be careful of mountain driving in the week or so after the storm comes through.

when i first heard about the male loneliness epidemic i was like oh yeah close camaraderie and bonding between men is often discouraged in favor of competition or, if not discouraged, at least filtered through a lens of individualism that precludes deep connections. and then i learned what people meant by it (men arent getting laid) to which i say skill issue

Scum Villain character by the noise they make in bed

Shen Yuan: naturally very vocal but he actively bites it back. Moans border on yelling.

Shen Jiu: iron trap. He has to be 8 consecutive rounds deep to make a single noise and even then it’s going to be the quietest little “ahh-mm” you’ve ever heard.

Luo Bingge: focuses on talking his wives through it. He’s not actually enjoying the sex all that much.

Luo Bingmei: cute, high little “ahh mmm please yes mnnn”.

Yue Qingyuan: doesn’t make any noise. No matter how long he’s been at it, no matter how much he’s enjoying it. He’ll try if you ask him to but it will sound very awkward and forced.

Liu Qingge: easy to work up into pitchy moans. If you work him into overstimulation he starts whimpering and crying.

Shang Qinghua: moans like a porn star. Ruins it by saying shit like “hot diggity dog” “zoowee mama” “awooga” and “hot tamales”.

Mobei Jun: he purrs.

Tianlang Jun: moans like a porn star. Ruins it by saying shit like “daddy likey”.

Zhuzhi Lang: whimpers. Soft, high whimpers that get a little louder the longer you go, but not by much.

Sha Hualing: groaning and yelling.

Liu Mingyan: a few grunts, otherwise she’s too busy taking mental notes.

Su Xiyan: too focused on dirty talk for moaning. Be a good puppy and do all the moaning for mommy.

bell hooks mentioned going through a time in her life where she was severely depressed and suicidal and how the only way she got through it was through changing her environment: She surrounded her home with buddhas of all colors, Audre Lorde’s A Litany for Survival facing her as she wakes up, and filling the space she saw everyday with reinforcing objects and meaningful books. She asks herself each day, “What are you going to do today to resist domination?” I also really liked it when she said that in order to move from pain to power, it is crucial to engage in “an active rewriting of our lives.”

i always feel embarrassed to dislike the non-antagonist characters i dislike because i think i’ve figured out the connecting factor that i can’t forgive is “i think theyre terrible in a particular way but the narrative clearly does not recognise or acknowledge this quality at all” so half of them end up being the character whose entire concept is Nice Friendly Person :) and i’m the one who’s like i fucking SEE YOU VILLAIN
