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.

After doing some research on the types of pets people had in ancient Greece, I'd like to imagine that Helen is the sort of person who has a whole menagerie of birds — and she loves each and every one of them very, very much.

It fits well with her being good at mimicry, you know. Talking and imitating and singing with her beloved birds 💜

I had to include that one necklace from the minoan 'saffron goddess' fresco because it's my favourite thing Ever

“and Elrond took the place of his father and came to love him as a son of his own”

"Jason would be angry with Jaybin" / "Jason would comfort Jaybin"

Okay, what about both?

A scenario, in which Jason's first reaction on seeing himself so vulnerable, so little, so unaware of the future is to helplessly hiss. To grab himself by shoulders (by tiny, bony shoulders; oh, the malnourished kid he was!) and shake harshly, unable to hide his anger. But then, Jaybin's eyes feel with tears, and Jason freezes.

He doesn't want to be mean to this child. To the child that will die as a hero, that will do everything to save a woman that gave him birth, that despite all pain and cruelty, will choose to be kind to the very end. The one that won't even expect to be saved at the very end — just will want to die in his dad's arms.

So, he cries, too. His arms wrap around Jaybin's shivering body, and he can't help but shudder, too.

'I am sorry. I am sorry. I am sorry,' he whispers, again and again — for screaming, for being so cruel to them (to himself), for not being enough even after their death.

And Jaybin, because he is a gentle kid he is, hugs him back.

'It's okay,' he reassures him, wobbling lips curling in smile. 'We are fine. I know you are doing your best.'

you want a new kind of guy, fine, i raise you: the lady i was briefly roommates with in college who once smoked a blunt at a party and then spent an hour confessing earnestly to me that she genuinely preferred reading detailed episode recaps over actually watching the tv show in question
