The thing with timelords is that yeahh theyre people but theyre also sort of complicated moving sculptures. or they all see themselves or function in some way as Projects as much as people. partially because doylistically, they... are.

oh god ed reddit is having the “uwu anorexia isn’t rooted in fatphobia my mental illness is not abt you” talk again please god help me

fatphobia doesn’t mean “being a meanie to fat ppl” i’m begging you to use critical thinking skills for five seconds and apply what you know about literally any other form of oppression to this situation.

people’s point isn’t that you having anorexia makes them feel bad and therefore you’re a bad fatphobic person.

they’re pointing out how the deeply ingrained fatphobia our society upholds, from misconceptions about health to moralization of looks and weight, including yes being jerks to fat ppl’s faces bc they’re fat, is affecting what you think about your own looks, weight, health, body, clothes, eating habits, etc.

the logic isn’t “you became anorexic because you hate fat people so much you never wanted to be fat yourself (and that makes you a bad person)” it’s “fatphobia is a prism that transforms the root cause of your ed into disordered thoughts, behaviors, and patterns (and unlearning fatphobia will help you with recovery and harm-reduction)”

like. it’s not for no reason that anorexia is a disorder that disproportionatedly affects women. it’s not for no reason that there’s sky high comorbidity rates for eds and ocd. it’s not for no reason that people who need control in their lives so badly that they develop a mental disorder abt it get obssessed with being skinny and not with being a sumo. it’s not for no reason that ppl who feel the need to retract to childhood due to trauma envy things like being skinny light and frail, instead of being a tubby baby. it’s not for no reason that there is an incredibly common anorexic thought pattern (internal and self-directed, don’t make me say what i didn’t say) that associaties restriction and weight loss with moral goodness.

for each of these there IS a number of exceptions, but you can see case by case how the root cause (trauma, need for control, for self-destruction, growing up poor, whatever you think is “unrelated to fatphobia” basically) is processed through the prism of the fatphobic culture we’ve all been raised in. some people just, voluntarily or not, deal with those root causes in different way, which might or might not be healthy. but it’s a consequence of ambiant fatphobia that “i should starve and be skinny about it” is a statistically pretty common response to this distress.

the point isn’t “it’s fatphobic that you don’t deal with your neuroses in a body positive way uwu” the point is that no matter how cool you are with fat people on like, a personal level, you’ve been (like the rest of us) bombarded with fatphobic thought patterns your entire life basically, both directly fatphobic things and reactions to this fatphobia. maybe spoken to you directly, maybe not. maybe about you maybe about other people. you live in a society that places moral values into looks and health, and also pushes some deeply rooted falsehoods about how those things tie into each other. you have a disorder defined by obsessive behaviors. maybe, just maybe, deconstructing the logic that those obsessives behaviors are based upon will help you deal with this disorder. and recover or reduce harm.

basically, anorexia isn’t “getting skinny disorder” it’s “obsession disorder”, obsession with looking attractive, or pleasing your family, or going back to being a kid, or being healthy, or being fit, or being driven and capable, or being worth saving, or having your suffering known, or having control over something, or whatever. the fatphobia that is omnipresent (and i repeat, omnipresent, nobody is singling you out as a bad fatphobic meanie, or even talking about your behavior towards other people around you) in our society picks the direction in which many many people will express that disorder.

of course if you live in a society that tells you “being fat is morally bad” at every turn, when you start developping an obssessive pathological need to control things, without another factor weighting in, most people’s default reaction will be anorexia. food is a regular fixture of everybody’s life, everyone wants to be morally good, and even if we know/understand/believe to an extent the flaws of that “fat = bad” logic we know the world around us still believes it, and nobody wants to be treated like shit. we can think it’s stupid and fight against fatphobia and work to treat fat ppl better in our lives and support body positivity, but in any case, one always judges oneself on different metrics than they judge others, cuz we control our self-improvement. that’s natural. just it doesn’t mesh well with a pathologically obssessive need for control above self-preservation.

Ok I know this is probably a long shot but. Does anyone know of an etymological dictionary for Sumerian and/or Hittite lol. Or at least something that mentions the evolution of the words in some way?? If anyone has something like this or knows where to find it I will love you forever

[shinybulbasaur]

I think that if you're going to be a hater, it's critical to admit when you're objectively wrong but you're still sticking to your guns and dreaming of a world in which you're not objectively wrong. "yeah I know this is correct, but I hate it so I'll be wrong until the world burns down around me" and other such dramaticisms. to celebrate those moments I give you this

At the same time that fascistic propaganda across Europe upheld Hector as a perfect, noble soldier and Achilles as an insubordinate villain, the English verb "hector" (as in "he hectored me until I agreed to come in to work this weekend") came into use to mean harass, bully, badger.

While one source suggested this is because of how Hector urged his troops to keep fighting in the Iliad, with the meaning eventually getting warped over time, another claims that "rowdy street toughs" in 17th century London called themselves "Hectors," envisioning themselves as mighty, young warriors. Everyone else, obviously, saw them as annoying, violent assholes. And thus, while Hector's reputation continued to exceed what was represented in the surviving texts regarding the Trojan War, his name came to mean far worse than his behavior warranted.

We've got strangers to lovers.

We've got a blind Jimin.

JK IS JUNGSHOOK

Seriously, dude is so fucking endeared and wants to give Jimin the entire universe.

I absolutely love this Jimin. He is so unapologetically himself.

This is just fluff and smut with mild angst.

I keep like, jokingly pitch Eternia to people who like Symphonia because they touch upon VERY similar themes, just in different ways, so I feel like Symphonia fans would enjoy Eternia, and then I remember the Orz Earrings in Eternia and suddenly get mad at Symphonia

What do you MEAN these two worlds have been split for THOUSANDS OF YEARS and have vastly different cultures and yet their language is the EXACT FUCKING SAME? What do you MEAN Lloyd doesn't look at Zelos like "homie, what the fuck are you saying to us?" And Sheena sighs and translates (bc I do believe Sheena would be proficient in both) and goes "he's saying he's gay" and Lloyd goes "oh wow I'm glad he came out to us" and Zelos just begs Sheena to translate what Lloyd said and she responds "he said you're gay" like what do you MEAN none of this happened? How the fuck does a world Run By the Church have the same slang ad a world Run By the Church Disguised as a Monarchy? WHAT DO YOU MEAN GENIS DOESNT FUCK WITH ZELOS BY CALLING HIM INSULTS IN SYLVARANTIAN AND TRANSLATING THEM TO COMPLIMENTS IN TETHE'ALLAN WHILE EVERYONE IS LIKE "zelos my dude he just called you a whore???" Where's this. What happened??? Wasted opportunity imo

my pan friend and I reenacting the bi/pan discourse anytime our third friend brings it up to ask for clarification is the most idiotic thing ever. nobody ever talk about this ever again

[fyeahnix]

why do I get the feeling that some people who think they're writing purple prose and proud of it aren't actually writing true purple prose?
