"The conversation is between my god, my destiny, and me. Why are you interrupting?" - Coke Studio Bharat | Bayo | Cyli Khare x Srushti Tawade x Komorebi

Coke Studio Bharat (formerly known as Coke Studio India) recently released an absolute banger of a song. I liked it so much that I decided to try my hand at making GIF sets.

Foxes women!

And again in b&w:

I'll do the other foxes to have a full lineup.

I think that sometimes we collectively forget that aftg is set in the mid 2000s. So please, let's bring back the leggings, tunics, belts, wide collars, low waisted jeans and half-short sleeves we all oh so missed.

Uncle Iroh and Rose Quartz are very similar characters from similar backgrounds and follow similar journeys, but the people arent ready for that conversation

Thinking about marriage/women's rights on Vulcan Some may think that T'Pring not being allowed to divorce Spock was because he was going through the pon farr but if she were allowed to divorce him at all she probably would have done that a long time ago, confirmed by T'Pol when she's speaking with Koss, who isn't suffering from the pon farr. She says that he can choose another mate (without invoking a fight it seems: note the difference between a 'mate' and a 'challenger') and after he makes it clear that nothing she says will change his mind about marrying her, she finally threatens to declare a kal-if-fee. It's clear that Vulcan women cannot divorce/refuse to marry a man they've been betrothed to under any circumstances if A) He himself doesn't consent to ending their marriage or B) She doesn't have someone else waiting in the wings to be given to in his stead. Though, if the challenger she selects fails to win the fight, she'll have to marry her betrothed anyway unless (again) he decides he doesn't want her after the challenge. That seems like an incredibly unfair system, heavily biased towards men. SNW is an alternate universe in many obvious respects but most egregiously in that T'Pring has a lot of non-canonical agency over her relationship with Spock. It's interesting to me that Vulcan society has women in many positions of power and treats women as equal to men from what I've seen despite these laws. We don't really see Vulcans exhibiting a misogynistic attitude towards women in general but in TOS (perhaps because of its general writing style but it's still interesting to note) both Sarek and Spock take on patriarchal attitudes specifically regarding wives. Amanda says that 'of course' Sarek commands her because "he is a Vulcan and I am his wife." It's worthwhile in my eyes to note that she specifies 'wife' instead of attributing this attitude to women as a whole. Again, with TOS' writing style it wouldn't be out of place for her to say "he is a man and I am a woman." Spock, while in a pon farr induced irritation, states that it's "undignified for a woman to play servant to a man that isn't hers" - again implying that there's something specific about being a Wife in Vulcan society which is different from being a woman in general and demands subservience to a husband. This could perhaps stem from the extreme sense of ownership that Vulcan law has permitted men to have over women. A woman legally cannot point blank refuse marriage. There is no option which guarantees she won't have to marry her betrothed other than death. When T'Pau speaks of T'Pring she refers to her as being 'property' and Stonn, before being interrupted, states he's made 'the ancient claim' - we don't know what this is because he gets cut off but it's obvious they're both using the language of Vulcan law. Men are permitted true freedom to choose. If a woman wants to choose someone else to be with there is no option available to her other than the kal-if-fee which might result in the death of the one she wants to be with. And, if her lover fails, her husband can still just decide he wants to marry her and she'll be forced to. T'Pring gives two scenarios: One where Spock 'frees' her and one where he doesn't - it's still ultimately his decision which is clear when he ends the conversation with "Stonn, she is yours." This again isn't just because of the pon farr as T'Pol also goes through this. Koss can choose another mate and when the option is talked about there's no implication that this would result in any sort of fight (both by the casualness of its mention and by the fact that there's no formal word for it unlike the kal-if-fee.) Also, the fact that Koss does eventually grant T'Pol a divorce and it's all fine means that T'Pol isn't lawfully required to have another man waiting if her HUSBAND doesn't want her. It's ONLY required if SHE doesn't want her husband. Tradition must take precedence over individual desire UNLESS!!! You're a man. Then it's fine. Like, your parents might not be happy but legally you're golden.

sketch dump 1st 3 imgs Ty: Holy shit! Someone sent me a titty pic in the DMs! Tr: Hey! Let me see! Ty: A-ah, suck it! This one's for me! Tr: That's just not fair! Why am I the one getting dick pics?! Ty: Well, tough luck. As a man is, so are the fans. Oh! O-oh! Wow! Tr: Whyyy?! the last img i'm not really in the mood for counting syllables in english but it roughly translates to "I'm not gonna call your mustache cool, bro. It's shit."

This has been killing me. I haven't been able to find this post in like at least 6 months. It's a picture of three people in a basement and the description reads "1996. My three butch friends were helping me renovate my basement and wouldn't take any payment, only shitty beer." And the three people have like flannels and tool belts on and beers and I think one of them is smoking. I literally have put that into search and I can't find it on my blog or on Tumblr. Please you're my only hope. (Also I noticed your post about your qpr. Well done on that. I think I'm aro too and I kind of want that so a little jealous lol.)

first and foremost, before we get down to business, ah thank you!! i hope you're able to find a qpr as well! i wish you the best of luck!

but now, gettin' serious, findin' this post proved rather simple. i headed down to the Search Bar and asked Don Google for "tumblr 1996 three butch friends" and was handed the exact link instantly with no trouble whatsoever. i filed it away back at my office.

here you are! your wonderful beer-drinkin' butch basement renovators! have a great day!

Does it bother anyone else that soprano musical theatre "I want" songs cannot seem to pass the Bechtel test for the life of them?

I remember a few years back when people would call all versions of Raphael (particularly 2012 and 2003) “toxic” and “abusive.” And then they would say that the only “wholesome” iterations of Raph were 1987 and Rise. 

This is really funny to me because I always knew these were fans who have never watched the 1987 version. 1987 Raph is the only version of Raph who is racist and sexist. And while I love that guy, he is by far the most “problematic” version of Raphael.

Only TMNT fans will pretend an 80s cartoon is progressive so they can dunk on versions of TMNT they don’t like.

Sailors especially back in the day wanted to have sex with the ship but if they referred to it as "him" or "they" then it would be gay or woke so thats why they called the ship she, so it would be straight. Because the sailors were totally straight.
