Sometimes your mother tongue isn't always a home,sometimes your childhood place isn't always your wish. Sometimes home resides somewhere far,outside these barriers,of time,age, and languages. And that's okay.

The first horseman, a conqueror with a bow and crown, rides a white horse, which scholars sometimes interpret to symbolize Christ or the Antichrist; the second horseman is given a great sword and rides a red horse, symbolizing war and bloodshed; the third carries a balance scale, rides a black horse, and symbolizes famine; and the fourth horseman rides a pale horse and is identified as Death. (Britannica)

Racists are so funny with their "100 years ago your family probably lived in mud houses" meanwhile 100 years ago my great grand father went to the uk to get his law degree while yours worked on a farm in Kansas
No hate to farmers btw, please read the tags
#Btw a LOT of desi men AND WOMEN would do this at the time#including gandhi nehru and jinnah#im literally going to be a 6th gen graduate#our families had enough gold and natural resources to comfortably fund foreign education of 10 children 100 years ago#then they would all come back and just live the rest of their lives owning entire villages#no cap#uneducated where?#also no hate to white farmers or anything im just saying the racist presumptions are so misplaced#and obviously every family in india wasnt like this and this is a very upper to middle class experience#but mine was and that means i get to prove you idiots wrong#growing up desi#college#haya: talks

hot take I think the sexes would be much happier if we just accepted each other as mysteries instead of constantly shaming one for not being more like the other.
like, personally, in my own life, the whole idea of romance & marriage became way more exciting and attractive when I ditched the notion that men are just bigger stronger women, or women are just smaller prettier men.
like. not only is it okay that men are from mars and women are from venus, it's good.
do I know what's going on in my guy friend's head? I used to think I did, but it turns out I don't. Turns out I've never known what was going through the heads of any of the men in my life. And you know what? what a relief. he can do or say things that don't make sense to me, and they don't have to make sense to me. I know he's a smart, good-hearted guy; I can safely assume he had a reason for saying or doing that thing. And if I listen to him over time, I may even start to understand what that reason was. But I don't have to. What I can recognize instead is that each sex has a wisdom in their way of thinking and doing which befits given situations. More often than not, a situation requires both.
But you simply can't get both from one person, and you shouldn't demand it. And what a relief knowing my guy friend doesn't expect guy thoughts and behavior from me.
#I think this is why I used to be so into foreign guys and the idea of an international marriage#because I was under the impression that men and women are fundamentally the same in the head#but I knew SOMETHING about marriage was supposed to be mysterious and exotic and self-denying#cue a language/culture barrier#M/F#x#(an added bonus is that I have gotten WAY better at writing dudes)#I think the focus on toxic empathy in our culture has played a part in this as well#where empathy is the process by which you put yourself INTO THE HEAD of the other person#well no one can do that. but that especially can't be done between sexes. AND WE DON'T HAVE TO#COMPASSION does not require the plumbing of someone's mind / heart

My boyfriend (a straight, cis man) just told me that he watched Glass Onion yesterday after I recommended it to him, and then had the AUDACITY to ask me how I know that Benoit Blanc is gay and Hugh Grant is his live-in boyfriend?
Like???? The sky is blue, babe, just gotta open your eyes!!!
For the record, Benoit Blanc: 1. Wears those funky little suits with stripes and patterns and the little scarves. Have you ever seen straight men wear anything that fun and fruity? Or accessorize said no-fun outfits? No, you haven't. 2. Avoids Birdie, a conventionally attractive woman, heavily flirting with him, like the effing Bubonic Plague. 3. Takes long baths in the tub with cute little rubber duckies and soap. FRUITY. 4. Has NO REACTION other than a polite little cough to getting liquid shot down his throat!!!!! 5. HUGH GRANT IS IN HIS HOUSE COVERED IN FLOUR! JFC THEY'RE NOT JUST ROOMMATES!!!
#benoit blanc#glass onion#knives out#daniel craig#Honestly I have no idea how straight men think#is subtext a foreign concept#is this how it feels to have all your ships be explicitly announced in media???????#how have you never waited for years for crumbs of interaction#honestly I ship Destiel subtext is my life#also johnlock#merthur#wolfstar#Bechloe#THE LIST GOES ON!!!!#like you gonna tell me satosugu isn't real just because they don't explicitly call e/o boyfriend?!#ffs i shipped helen and peg in this movie for a hot minute THAT is how deep into the subtext closet i am#sigh

Arthur Conan Doyle: what if there was a detective and he was super mysterious and badass and like the smartest man alive but of course was misunderstood and an outcast but in a cool way.
Agatha Christie: what if there was a detective but he was a tiny little fancy man and no one ever took him seriously no matter what he does because of white on white racism. and he's got a silly mustache.
#here we have the true root of what boys think is fun verses what girls think is fun#i think poirot is way more accessible to women and sexual/gender minorities in a way sherlock isnt#except that is for the gays#they are equally accessible to the gays#i just think the casual dismissal of poirot's abilities simply because he's “a foreigner” is very much the story of womanhood#casual and systemic dismissal of your abilities based on a small technicallity such as not having been born a certain way?#that should speak to anyone who isnt a cis white man these days#and it should speak to the cis white men who care enough to listen#anyway#sociological rant in a literary meme post!#hercule poirot#sherlock holmes#agatha christie#arthur conan doyle#detective fiction

Not too keen on how the first scene of HotD made show-only viewers think that Aegon the Conqueror diplomatically convinced Torrhen Stark to give up Northern independence because they both believed in stopping a prophesized apocalyptic Long Night because it downplays the brutality of Aegon's Conquest.
Not the show's fault since it is realistic that Cregan and Jace would frame it like an amiable peacetalk given their current goals and circumstances (and they did touch on the intimidation aspect of it). But show-onlies don't get the context that:
Torrhen was the person who started a dialogue with Aegon I, not the other way around.
Aegon didn't fly North to meet with Torrhen. Torrhen was the one who marched south with his armies to stop the man who was burninating the entire countryside.
Because he was marching south, Torrhen saw the utter carnage of Aegon's Conquest. At least three entire dynasties of kings were extinguished at that point. Torrhen was thus faced with the possibility that the entire Stark line would be wiped out like them if he fought.
Aegon and Torrhen exchanged letters at the Riverlands when both their armies were about to meet, but those weren't what convinced Torrhen to kneel. Torrhen had to actively stop his brother Brandon from attacking Aegon's dragons when they got there. The Northern King had already made his mind prior to talking to Aegon that he didn't want to fight.
Aegon's Conquest wasn't him making buddy-buddy with the 6 kings. It was him and his sister-wives intimidating them into submission by threatening to wipe out their families.
#a song of ice and fire#house of the dragon#hotd#It's still unclear why Aegon decided to conquer the Seven Kingdoms (well#6 kingdoms and 1 principality). Popular theory is that Westeros needed to be united to stave off the Long Night and that previous lords of#Dragonstone tried to get these proud and stubborn kings to do something about the apocalypse (presumably the same one that wiped out#Valyria) but failed to get anywhere just through diplomacy#that doesn't make the brutality of the Conquest (or any conquest of a people for that matter) justified by any means#It's a classic legitimizing myth of empire: 'Ofc they had to be conquered and strongarmed into submission for their own good for unity!'#The Andals and the First Men and the Rhoynar were doing fine before dragons (presumably)#Prophecy or not the Targaryens are from the Empire of Valyria and thus act and are foreign imperialist invaders it is what it is
