Hello there for your OC Beatrice can I have 4 22 37 38 ? Thank you Have a wonderful day 🤗😘

hi, julie! thank you for another ask 💞

4. How easy is it to earn their trust?

Beatrice’s background made her wary of others, specially of nobles. But even with that, it’s not THAT hard to earn her trust. Beatrice has a soft heart, so if someone treats her and other people kindly, she’ll have a good impression of them.

22. How does jealousy manifest itself in them (they become possessive, they become aloof, etc)? 

Beatrice’s not the jealous type and rarely has reasons to feel this way, but when it happens she’s the quiet type. She’ll isolate herself and speak only if someone reach out to her.

37. Do they have a system for remembering names, long lists of numbers, things that need to go in a certain order (like anagrams, putting things to melodies, etc)? 

Nothing in particular, but Beatrice likes to write everything down so she doesn’t forget anything important.

38. What memory do they revisit the most often? 

Answered here.

41. How do they feel about children? (asked in the DMs)

Beatrice has a wish of starting her own family, a loving one, different from what she experienced growing up. She would rather have only one or two children though.

Dear Friend,

I’ve been avoiding you. Writing letters like this. I’ve typed out a few but I just end up deleting them. I want to be interesting. I want to have a life with a plot that’s moving forward not sitting in the same place. So I’m sorry. My family’s been a lot more openly homophobic because of the good omens ending (how they didn’t realize they were in love sooner is baffling to me) and that hurts. It was something the loved and enjoyed but as soon as it directly “came out” as gay they stopped and hate it now. I know a human and a tv show are different things but it still scares me and hurts just a little bit. I’m not going to talk about them any more right now.

I’m starting school on Thursday (an orientation on Wednesday) and I’m really scared. I don’t know anyone, I’m driving myself (and my younger brother) every day, when I last went to schools in person however many years ago it wasn’t great. I read a lot. I don’t wear the crop tops and makeup and all that crap that makes you fit in. I have the kind of personality that makes people think I’m perfectly fine to make fun of, that I don’t mind.

Im just scared.

Love always,

M.

justice for kabru. they put my man in the wrong genre. bro was meant to be playing psychological games with light yagami and instead he’s playing yaoi mind tennis with a blonde himbo

[nymphoutofwater]

And why? Cultural norms? Personal schedule? “Cause I’m always late to everything”?

Bonus points: Region and/or ethnicity?

Personally I think that Telemachus permanently and irreversibly changed Athena for the better, more on that at twelve

Studying linguistics is actually so wonderful because when you explain youth slang to older professors, instead of complaining about how "your generation can't speak right/ you're butchering the language" they light up and go “really? That’s so wonderful! What an innovative construction! Isn't language wonderful?"

cinderella remake set in 1880s san francisco where cinderella is a chinese immigrant with bound feet and also she’s a butch lesbian and the prince is a butch lesbian too but she’s a paris-educated german-american socialite and a darling of the transatlantic arts and literary world so the connotations of her gender nonconformity are completely different. oscar wilde is there

Taking a 5-second break from the Bagginshield angst to bring you this meme I created after an all-nighter, enjoy.

I want everybody who’s calling Ken a Trophy Husband to know that he’s actually a Trophy Boyfriend, because when Ruth Handler invented Ken in the 1960s, she was adamant that he would never marry her and instead be her “handsome steady”, so that Barbie remained a figure of independence for the little girls and was never put in the position of housewife.

Her house is hers. She bought it and furnished it with money she made in her own job. In STEM, in politics, in healthcare, in fashion, in academy, in customer service. Her credit card is in her name (women in the US couldn’t have their own regardless of marital status until 1974). And it’s all pink and fashionable because femininity and badassness aren’t mutually exclusive. No matter who you are, you can be anything.

That’s why Barbie’s slogan is “you can be anything”. Teaching these ideals to little girls is why Barbie was created. Empowering women and empowering femininity is the original meaning of the Barbie doll. It’s not that you have to be all this to be a woman, but if you are all or some of this, you too are awesome.

And somehow pop culture deliberately changed that narrative. Sexualised, bimbofied, and villainised her, when she actually isn’t responsible for the impossible beauty standards — people are, she’s just a stylised, not-to-scale toy like most others.

Men are frothing because he’s just Ken and I guess they were expecting her to be just Barbie, but that’s exactly what Ken is. Canonically. A badass woman’s himbo boyfriend.

This movie has the potential to radically change the way we collectively see Barbie into what Ruth Handler originally intended, I’m so very excited
