anyways tl;dr on that last post it’s like we’ve reached a point where in popular culture the ancient Greeks are remembered for their mythology and literature (and maybe Athenian democracy) while the Romans are remembered for their patriarchal imperialism, despite the fact that both cultures did plenty of both. and the consequence is that we’ve ended up with a bizarre quasi-gender binary where Greek stuff is for people who like mythology and literature and Roman stuff is for people who like patriarchal imperialism

every now and then I go re-read the summary description of ouran high school host club plot and wonder how much that whole series would have changed me if i'd encountered it when I was 14

A reverse image search was totally worth it though.

Now I know there are more pipes and metal tubes that look like they're fucking.

additionally i think a lot of us remain helplessly dependent on self flagellation and punishment believing it to be discipline/self control because we are not taught to believe that care and deliberate healing and patience and attention are disciplines themselves

being abused or neglected really makes it clear how many things are skills that nobody really treats as. skills. exercising autonomy is a skill. listening to your body is a skill. resting is a skill. being liked and being loved are skills. nobody tells you how to do this shit because nobody even told me I was supposed to have learnt these things when I was a kid. I kind of just have to manually figure out what makes me freak out and work from there. unfair as shit

It was rather stunning how queer they made Garrett Hawke without making it the driving force of his identity in any way. He's just a guy going through life becoming Champion and being impaled and killing thousands and rising to the upper class through scams, criminal acts and providing particularly great service, and he is queer to the absolute bone, but even love interests don’t particularly influence storyline outcomes

The flip side though is that Marian Hawke is the most painfully heterosexual bundle of Mother and Father Issues in creation since sliced bread.

There's a scene in the FascistBritainAU in my head where Charlie and Tommy are sitting down opposite each other to dinner at the Mosleys' table (guests present, Oswald's children present, Diana pregant, all very urbane).

Charlie lives with the Mosleys, you see, so the only time Tommy gets to see him is at these formal dinners. Place settings are ready, everyone's plates with those domed covers to keep the meal warm and the heat in.

Once everyone is seated, the many vaguely-military looking servants step forward beside each guest and lift off the covers in unison, and Tommy's plate is revealed to be piled high with freshly cropped grass.
