Never has "you praise a male character for the same traits you hate a female character for" been more true than with how fans react to Astarion vs Minthara

Prompt 82

Lex Luthor is admittedly, a very petty man. A very petty man who absolutely despises a certain kryptonian. So what if he made a clone- the alien got mind controlled practically every other week, could anyone blame him for being concerned?!

He’s more than a little annoyed that said clone was stolen from Cadmus, even though they had assured him repeatedly that they knew what they were doing. Trying to steal Gotham’s cryptid’s child was not a good idea- even he knew that! So of course they take the clone and the kryptonian discovers said clone and… rejects it. Huh. He should probably take advantage of that. 

But he is a petty man. 

If the alien is going to reject the child then he’ll just have to prove to be the better father. He’ll of course be the best father, if only to shove it in the other’s face. Really, how hard could it be?

Harlan Coben's Shelter - 1x07

I wonder if Jessamine's passing influenced the way death and mourning is viewed in the Empire

the world is strongly inspired by Victorian and Edwardian society, and one of the most defining aspects of the era, at least for modern people, is the way mourning was perceived at the time.

which, in turn, was influenced by the untimely death of queen Victoria's husband. the period of mourning, the way it is to be expressed, how people should behave and dress - all of this was strongly influenced by the widowhood of queen Victoria.

there are some paralells to it in the Kaldwin Empire, too. the untimely death of empress Jessamine, the high regard in which she is held long after her death, the ceremonies that accompany the anniversary of her passing. the way Emily has to perform, year after year, give a speech and celebrate her dead mother. the way Corvo's "celibacy" is often highlighted, his love for Jessamine and him remaining loyal to her even many years later and never taking another lover- so much of the mourning for the late Empress is celebrated and ceremonialized. I wonder what kind of effect it had on the world as a whole

EEEEEEE THICKETY CONTENT

Web Leitner based on the book The Thickety by J.A. White. If you start reading it, you'll slowly be pulled further and further towards the nearest forest until you get lost there. The only printed word in the entire book is the first word, the rest of the text only appearing once you've read that first, fateful word. Oh btw it makes you sick if you stop reading and/or separate yourself from it for long enough.

forest time :)

SET SIX - ROUND ONE - MATCH ONE

"The Kama Sutra of Vatsyayana" (2019 - Victo Ngai) / "Portraits" (2023 - Sin Wai Kin)

THE KAMA SUTRA OF VATSYAYANA: adoreeee the art style in each (vedev)

PORTRAITS: It makes me go soo feral bcs the actual piece is a video, and there are only extremely subtle movements. Its so so cool, bcs it looks and feels like the subject of the piece looks like they’re being watched/knows they’re being watched. Its honestly kind of creepy when you see it, and it gives the same feeling as if the fourth wall has been broken, even though it technically hasn’t been. Its a genuinely really cool piece, especially as someone who is online a lot, and for me it felt like it was about that feeling of being watched, especially the pressure. (azurecake16)

("The Kama Sutra of Vatsyayana" is a cloth-bound, gold-tone gilded book by Chinese-American artist Victo Ngai. There are 750 copies in existence, each signed.

"Portraits" is a video by queer Asian-Canadian artist Sin Wai Kin.)

literally I have not written this much in the span of a couple weeks since like. mid high school. so around 7-8 years ago. what has this show done to me

[incense-and-iron]

I wasn't going to post this, and I doubt it'll get much attention but I wanna say it anyway. I had a conversation with someone I met a few times back in college via email and he wished me several happy specific holidays-- Thanksgiving and Christmas specifically. Upon telling him thank you for the thoughtfulness but I don't celebrate those holidays his reply was very... Well, it's what I've heard a million times and it always feels so luke warm and someone who never really actually puts in the effort to learn and change to be more inclusive. He replied with "well, i don't think about the origins of the holidays! I just view them as family gathering times haha!"

I'm sure other people have heard that sort of response waaaay more than me around this part of the year (indigenous people, jewish people, and many others) and I can't ever help but always feel so irked and annoyed by it. It's like theyre taking someone who doesn't partake in christian holidays/US centric holidays as a personal attack and are deflecting in a "im not one of THOSE people" even though they are simply by not being more inclusive in their wording/assuming everyone celebrates these days.

I could probably word this post better in some way but it's early and I sat there with my email open just staring at the reply for a few minutes.... I always felt the need to apologize growing up for saying "i dont celebrate [insert christian based holiday]" because of this sort of reply over and over and over. It's just... strange. Why do I, and millions of others, need to apologize for not celebrating your holidays? Why do we need to feel awkward and bridge the gap with soothing your feelings over us having different holidays than you? Why do you feel the need to "oh i just view it as family gathering time" when faced with someone only saying they don't celebrate your holiday (not criticism or bashing or anything further about it)?
