Losing my shit about this article in which a transphobic Tory was so busy panicking about existing in the vicinity of a Trans that she almost certainly misheard "jeans" as "penis" and decided that not only was this a problem with the other woman, but also that the world must be informed of this pressing danger.

"a trans woman! I had to stand directly behind her....I thought, 'this is going well', I'm handling The Situation fine'..."

translated: I saw a tall woman with broad shoulders. How would I get out of this alive? I thought. she has a PENIS. PENIS PENIS PENIS. through some force of PENIS I mean will I managed to PENIS behave normally towards her. My hands were PENIS PENIS PENIS shaking as I tried to dry them. summoning up all my PENIS courage I said 'dryer's crap innit'. she turned to me and said " yeah I'm just goiPENIS PENIS PENIS"

It's been a week and I'm still shaking. This proves trans women are the problem and I'm not weird. I'm fine. It's fine. If you think about it I'm the hero hePENIS!!!!!

i really think having an emotional connection is so important to bakugou sexually.

like, i think he has to be in the exact right mood in order to get off by himself at home alone. can't be too tired, can't be too stressed out, can't have too much on his mind regarding work or other things, and even if it's been a while and his body is sensitive and wanting for it—if his head is not right, he can sit there for hours and never reach his peak.

which is why i think ultimately he doesn't do it that often, because it pisses him off to waste the time and not find the release. makes him more agitated. i think porn for the most part doesn't help him because he's too picky, literature probably helps a bit more, but he's still picky, and his imagination can get him there, but his headspace has to be right.

i think he's slow to hands-on stuff, when your relationship starts, and you can tell he's going to be like that pretty quickly. he responds to your touch like it's an accident; you reach out to hold his hand and he pulls his back like your knuckles have knocked by chance, like you're too close. it's not meant to be a rejection of any kind, it's just—he doesn't want you to touch him if you don't want to. if you don't mean to.

but when he realizes that you mean to, that you want to—

it has him skyrocketing. surprises him terribly, the affect you have on his body, and how quickly, because not even he can always have that affect on his own body.

you reach up to push some hair out of his face and your fingers skirt his cheekbone and he feels like a stupid gross disgusting puddle of mush. you loop your arm through his and lean into him while you're walking and he feels like a prize, like he's yours and you're his and you want everybody to know and that gives him a rush of pride that makes his head woozy.

he's dropping you off at home after date number he-doesn't-know and you're staring up at him outside your front door and he knows he should kiss you so he does and his whole body lights up with a heat he doesn't recognize at all. just from that.

and then he finally gets it: that heart-aching, stomach turning, body shaking want he's only ever heard about, and now finally feels.

The thing is that everyone everyone EVERYONE posting about Hector of Troy understands the two poles of his conflict (the household and the battlefield) but so so sooo many posts file off the nuances of where he actually falls between them.

It's not entirely inaccurate to say Hector is a family-oriented character who fights because everyone he loves and everything he knows will be destroyed if he doesn't. But it IS a simplification.

When Andromache confronts him on the way to the gates, she doesn't ask him not to go out to fight; they both acknowledge the absolute necessity of doing so. But she asks him to fight defensively, to stick close to the walls and to focus on not allowing the invading army to breach vulnerable areas therein.

And he denies her request.

He has to fight aggressively and with the intent to win glory, he tells her, because he cannot bear to show his face in Troy if he does anything else. Even knowing that at this point his death would almost certainly cost Troy the war, destroying everything he holds dear including Andromache herself, he can't bring himself to preserve his life if it means falling short of the standards of Bronze Age masculine virtue.

This would have been totally consistent with the way the internet reads him IF she had asked him to stay home and hide under the bed or something. There's a reason he's as much if not more a foil to Paris as to Achilles. But that's not what Andromache asked him to do.

Given the choice between fighting ONLY to defend Troy or fighting to achieve honour and victory in the defense of Troy, he chose the latter.

The tragedy of Hector isn't solely that he's a father and husband who is forced to be a warrior. It's that he's juuust enough of a family man to want to be one, but... not enough to risk being branded a coward for it.

At least, not until it was too late.

He wanted his wife to have a husband and his child to have a living father, he really did. He outran fleet-footed Achilles three times around the walls of Troy in what I can only imagine must have been as much a feat of desperation as of athleticism. To keep ahead of someone on foot, over that distance, wearing armor, sounds frankly painful- I say this as someone who used to love running.

If the gods hadn't decieved him into thinking he had help against Achilles, would he have run until he collapsed? Until some archer on the walls managed to either take down Achilles or at least force enough distance between them that Hector could escape? Would anyone have shamed him for it? Having faced the shame of cowardice and survived, would he have fought differently in the next battle, more defensively?

He died before we could find out.

Chen Yi + gentle hands in Ai Di's hair KISEKI: DEAR TO ME (2023)

[ramshacklefey]

So, the other night I had to cancel my DoorDash shift because I had a migraine.

And I was telling some friends about it, saying that I felt guilty for not going out. It's not like I was totally incapacitated after all, I was just laying on my couch with all the lights off, unable to open my eyes for more than the few seconds it took to read and send messages.

One person said that if that didn't count as incapacitated, nothing did. Someone else pointed out that "I'm lying in bed and can't move because of pain" is generally considered a 9 on pain scales.

And I just.

I've lived with chronic joint pain since before I can remember. (Literally. My mom says that I used to sit and cry and hold my feet when I was a baby.) By the time I was 8 or so, I'd figured out that if I laid down and cried every time I had a flare-up, I'd not be doing much else. (Also people would just get mad at me because I didn't look like there was anything wrong.) Then I started my period and went through all of that again. I just assumed that there would be a few days every month where I'd go to school and spend most of the day with my head on my desk, taking as much tylenol and ibuprofen as I could, a hoodie tied around my waist so tightly I could hardly breath, because that was the only other thing that helped.

And that's been my whole life. I forced myself to go to work at my retail jobs when I limped half the day because my legs hurt. I sat and wrote papers for school when my arms felt like they were being stabbed with hot wire. I piloted myself around my janitorial job scrubbing toilets with hands that could barely grip my tools and ached constantly. Nowadays, I go out and drive around the city for hours even though it feels like my hips and knees are cracking and my elbows are shrieking.

But when doctors ask me what my pain levels are, I say, "Oh, a three or four," because I've gotten to the point where I can get through the pain and keep doing things. Because I don't have a choice. (And all the pain scales I've seen rank your pain level based on how much it prevents you from doing.)

Thing is, that headache I had didn't hurt any worse than the other pain I've dealt with my whole life. The only reason I let it keep me home was because I couldn't see, and being able to see is kind of necessary when your whole job is driving.

Someone telling me that the state I was in ranked that high on the pain scale was staggering. I still don't know what to do with the information, but it's deeply changed how I see the things I've come to accept as normal.

"Since you've named yourself after Julius fucking Caesar, perhaps I'll follow in your lead and choose one of the conspirators." "Interesting," says Giuliano. "Should I worry about finding you at the center of some kind of conspiracy that ends with my death?" "Not from me," replies Ascanio. He sounds tired. "Not anymore."

informally, some kind of. conversational follow up to the last comic. I'm trying to get the atmospheric conversational whimsy out of my system because I have a vision of the vatican as a body in active decay, a point of infection spreading out and poisoning the well, a jaw unhinged that people walk into over and over, and I am so close to figure out how to convey this visually. maybe.

With all due respect IDW Megatron is the kind of dad that would go out to get cigarettes and then never see his kids again considering that's what he did to all of the Decepticons leaving on the Lost Light + he groomed Tarn into worshipping him as a mentor/authority figure and then basically stopped caring about him.

seeing everyone's chapter predictions for the new BSD chapter coming out, i'd like to remind my fellow BSD lore enthusiasts that this could very likely be the first time atsushi and fyodor ever meet face-to-face.

he was sent after fyodor in the last chapter, and until this point, the two have never once interacted-- a bit odd, since they're both primary pro/antagonists? fyodor has straight up avoided him numerous times, in fact. hmmmm. i wonder...
