The world exists in such a baffling state of simultaneous sex-aversion and sex-hegemony. Every social platform on the internet is trying to banish sex workers to the shadow realm but I can't post a tweet without at least two bots replying P U S S Y I N B I O. People are self-censoring sex to seggs and $3× but every other ad you see is still filled with half-naked women. Rightwingers want queer people arrested for so much as existing in the same postal code as a child and are also drumming up a moral panic about how teenage boys aren't getting laid enough. I feel like I'm losing my mind.
#it's bad if you want i have sex it's also bad if you DON'T want to have sex#god forbid if you're a woman in a heterosexual marriage and aren't in the mood#that's 'withholding sex' and you're clearly abusive scum who should be divorced and left without any of your shared assets.#but if you DO have sex now you're a degenerate freak plotting for the downfall of western society#i don't know what to say i'm just so tired#politics#culture#queerphobia#lgbtqia#misogyny#<it's not the exclusive source but let's be honest sooo much of this is integral to the patriarchy#patriarchy needs access to an underclass they can treat like sex objects but they also don't want them to have any human rights#so sexuality is both obligatory and stigmatized#purity culture#i'm really struggling with tagging this because most of the appropiate tags would- in a beautiful twist of irony- get me booted off tumblr

i love the DLC man
#elden ring#miquella the unalloyed#promised consort radahn#I’ve been thinking about how despite all the talk of age of compassion… Miquella’s first spell as a god is an offensive incantation#with a wide af damage radius 💀💀💀#meanwhile Marika who built her age upon violence… her spells are all healing and defense buffs#and her first spell as a God is a little tree that heals a wide area#she was still trying to heal her ppl to the bitter end AND gunning for revenge. there’s a kind of heartbreaking honesty to it#the cruel irony in the DLC story is crazy#really show how badly Miq had strayed from his original path after forsaking Trina#then that meme pops in my head ajshsjhsjhs#now i do think the vow is two-way btw Radahn just got cold feet near the end#the only thing i dont like about the DLC is i cant draw jokes without explaining I LOVE THESE CHARACTERS i think their actions are valid !!#like having to pull up a whole lore presentation slide for this#yes i think it's funny as hell that Miq did show Radahn why he should not fuck around and find out

bbc ghosts fandom can we plsplspls pls talk about isabelle higham more pls. she was under the impression that the love of her life didn’t love her back and didn’t have the guts to tell her to her face, and then he died defending another woman’s honour in her own backyard. and then coerced into an unfulfilling courtship based on materialism and prestige rather than actual love while she was vulnerable. like that is so horrible and fucked up i have so much love for isabelle where are the isabelle fans where are they pls!!!!!!
#francis button when i fucking catch you francis button.#on the topic of the thomas thorne affair. there is something i must mention#when thomas says ‘nice enough to visit but i wouldn’t want to live here’#in response to his cousin saying it would be amazing to inherit#not only are they showing the irony of him proceeding to be trapped there for centuries#but showing that his love to isabelle was purely sincere and based off her and her alone#while francis’s motivations were strictly materialistic#oh my god i’m going to be sick.#bbc ghosts#thomas thorne#isabelle higham#francis button

Perhaps the hardest thing about losing a love is to watch the year repeat its days.

I think this is the most angelic shot of aziraphale ever. and I mean ever. and it’s him lying to gabriel to thwart the will of god. isn’t that beautiful
#it’s obviously framed that way#I mean look at it#the irony of him looking so angelic and going directly against god/heaven is beautiful amazing showstopping#but he SHOULD look angelic too he’s truly doing the right thing#I remember seeing this as a promo image before s2 came out#and when I got to see an early premiere (was amazing btw) I was SOOO shocked at the context of this scene with the image#and it stuck with me for so long#I HAVE SO MANY FEELINGS ABOUT AZIRAPHALE#he is simply the character ever#OK ANYWAY#good omens#aziraphale#not art

Between TSATS and WOTTG at this point it seems like Rick has forgotten that Hypnos and Morpheus are actually two separate gods
Possibly one of the most amusing things about this is we DO have canon acknowledgement of Hypnos and Morpheus explicitly being separate gods, including even official art of Morpheus specifically.
...the thing is though, that this book in particular is ghostwritten.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
#pjo#riordanverse#rr crit#Anonymous#ask#this book was also actually published BEFORE TLO surprisingly#but there is so much irony in Rick failing to even bother checking the book. literally called. ''The Ultimate Guide'' for any notes#when writing further books. like my brother in riordanverse you dont even have a series bible#at the very least consult your OWN OFFICIAL GUIDEBOOK#but it is so amusing to me that just like. yeah we do have at least one acknowledgement of them being separate#but it's not from Rick LMAO#i did also check through TLO and all the Morpheus mentions specify is that he's god of dreams#though Percy did request he gets a cabin at CHB (alongside Janus) but in HoO we only see the Hypnos cabin
