#50 pounds

[apleasurableillusion]

"Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels" is obviously an insane statement (which Kate Moss herself has apologized for) for all the reasons we know, but also because "how skinny feels" is actually brain dead. Like you know how you can't think if you haven't eaten lunch? Is that really the way you want to feel, no matter how many compliments you get? Is outside validation that important to you?

"Human Max and Kim?"

"Yeah?"

"There is something that has been on my mind for quite some time now, a question about your work."

"Okay shoot."

"..."

"She means ask away."

"Ah. Yes, well. I was wondering how you two knew to train before coming to work here? As I was under the impression you both joined shortly after the coalition made contact with Earth."

"Train?"

"You mean for taking care of younglings?"

"Yes human Max."

"We didn't. We just used the training we already had and then learned on the job about the finer details."

"What she said. Although we did need to take some first aide courses before opening."

"...come again?"

"We barely had information of other species so we mostly relied on the training and teachings we received at home, Earth."

"Don't worry we took some night classes later on to be more prepared later on."

"How later is 'later on'?"

"About a month."

"...you seem really confused about this."

"That is because I am. . .how were you able to tolerate the biting then? Or the vast difference in height and weight from some of the larger ones? Or keep up with the fast ones?"

"Oh I was bit all the time at home. Both at work and at home."

"I just like running so it's not that hard for me. Kim still struggles though."

"I have tiny legs you jerk."

"But the strength and weight of some of them..."

"Oh right, on Earth you have to be able to lift at least 50 pounds to go into childcare."

"I thought it was 50 kilos..."

"...but that's like a hundred pounds...wait.."

"You have to be able to lift 50-100 pounds with ease!"

"...How heavy are your children?"

"Between 50-100 pounds."

I was scrolling through The Double tag and someone was complaining that Xue Fangfei never learned self-defence even though she was attacked so often and I was like, "No, I loved that they didn't pretend that a tiny stick of a woman could take on men twice her size because as much as I understand this genre isn't terribly complaint with physics (or biology), it would have been ridiculous."

We had two women who knew how to fight, Poison Princess and Arrow Friend (Lui?) so it wasn't like all women were portrayed as 100% helpless. But since a lot of Fangfei's revenge quests were about injustices that happen to women, who are generally weaker than men, her only have "soft" tools felt in keeping with the themes.

(We shall ignore that Fangfei managed to shoot Shen at like, 60 meters in the hand with a bow. That was for catharsis. There is no way that woman could shoot someone IN THE HAND, a super small target, after five minutes of sexy archery lessons.)

But back to my point, Fangfei's weapons are self-control, quin-playing, intelligence, diplomacy, and suicidal-risk taking. When attacked, she either is helped by an alliance she has formed (with Duke Su or her cousin), or by her words. She talks her half-sister into hitting her one attacker with a rock, which was great! It wouldn't have been half so satisfying if she just started pulling out martial arts moves that she'd learned in the like, six months max that this series happens over? Especially since many of the men have clearly been practising martial arts/sword-fighting their entire lives and have um, muscle tone and at least a foot of height on this tiny, tiny woman. There is a reason professional sports have weight classes.

I mean obviously it's not a bad idea to learn self defence, but if you learn it from a genuine expert the advice is, "Break out of their grip and run like hell" which wouldn't have worked in about half of the situations where Fangfei finds herself in danger. She was better served by sticking to what she was good at and delegating the physical fighting to people who knew what they were doing. It doesn't make her pathetic, it just means she knows her strengths.

I feel like 10/14 will take Rose on day trips in the TARDIS to beautiful, safe planets.

And then 15 “The Fun Uncle” will just crash into Donna’s backyard every once a while and come out of the TARDIS going “Who wants to stop an alien dictatorship on a planet where all the plant life wants to eat you?”

Since it's shown that Ivan and Till came from the same dog pound--adoption center...I wonder if they recognized each other at Anakt garden and that's how their friendship started

thinking about the classist themes in Lady and the Tramp like Tramp literally represents homeless people and Lady and her friends are the bourgeois that believes he needs to be punished for his actions. like when Tramp explains to them that he's a homeless stray because his owners didn't want him anymore their literal reaction is to go "that isn't true humans aren't cruel!" and when he says your warm spot by the fireplace could be replaced with a leaky doghouse Lady becomes distraught and her friends tell him to stop talking about it. they refuse to acknowledge a reality that their wealth and comfort could be taken away and insist that Tramp is a liar and a Problem that needs to go away. Tramp also gets accosted by a cop for being in an upper class neighborhood like??? 💀💀💀

this is just me thinking but I feel like at this stage the fandoms own guilt over how many treated dnp for a long time is bigger than any feeling dnp themselves have about it. even if fans weren't directly part of it, I think a lot of us still carry that history of just how far off things went at certain times. I definitely think as hurt as especially Dan was, he's forgiven us, he's over it (man's had enough therapy) so now most of it comes from ourselves really.

oh for sure like we're all so traumatized from that shit and i think we're still beating ourselves up more than dan and phil ever would but also i don't expect them to ever explicitly say all is forgiven (and they shouldn't have to!) because it's one of those things we (as in us and dnp) don't have a dialogue about and that's okay. i do hope this new era eases some of the guilt though
