#appreciate if u would consider it!

[frigidwife]

hi--hope its ok i respond because this specific phrasing is from my post and this is in the main show tags. would like to clarify some points about my post specifically--i recognize the anon is partly referring to an aggregate of takes, but again the phrasing is unique to my response to an ask like two days ago. i understand that this joke registered as off-color to you and i dont want to dispute that at all. i can see from your blog that other people have pointed out "armand didnt go through all this shit to be bad in bed" is also a potentially off-color joke, and i will say i was personally kind of appalled by it bc i think there is a difference between armand's abuse victim, who is crucially a fictional character, making comments about his csa, and a real person who is a viewer of the didactic-about-abuse show making light of csa in this particular way--but i realize that's subjective and not inherently an impediment to your analysis of the show.

so again--not taking umbrage with you finding the joke itself unfunny! what i would like to respond to is the contention in both this anon and your response that louis had to put up with armand in paris for something and that something has to be, by process of elimination, good dick. because the question why would louis put up with this? is i think answered pretty clearly in 2.03, when, as claudia is inducted into armand's cult and we learn that the coven master has power of life and death, armand takes louis into the sewer tunnel and informs him that, as coven master, he has to execute louis bc he wont fall into the coven fold. louis asks if he can just leave paris and armand says no there'll be a coven wherever you end up, and you'll be a problem to them--implicit threat. louis asks armand to look after claudia--whom he thinks will be protected by the coven since she just joined. armand says he expects claudia to go mad and die--ie, i won't protect her since she's a lost cause. then and only then--after louis who IS attracted to armand has been flirting with him the past two episodes!--does armand initiate their romantic relationship. after louis has fully expected armand to kill him. what this sequence of events does for the audience and for louis is establish clear stakes and a power imbalance. we see this again in the next episode, when louis's reluctance to commit is met with another implicit threat--"i keep your secret". and it's not just louis's secret, it's claudia's. it is pretty definitive that totally regardless of whether or not the sex is enjoyable, louis has real material considerations in his relationship with armand that cant be put aside. one thing he "gets" out of the relationship is protection from the coven which will kill him and might very well kill claudia and won't let them leave. Armand keeping his secret. so the rhetoric in this ask and response doesnt just frankly verge on victim blaming ("louis chose to stick around"), it also erases claudia's role in the story and her character arcs with the coven and with louis.

petty gripe but the bad-faith reading of Armand that most annoys me is when people say "the dick is mid". Ma'am. Madame. One thing a man with Armand's background will be left with, for better or worse, is knowing his way around a bedroom. You really think Louis would hang around an immortal theater kid polycule longer than five seconds for mid dick?? Like...people who are ultimately incompatible can still have a good time folding each other into origami

THANK YOU!!!! Armand didn't go through all of this shit to be bad in bed. Being undesirable or a bad lover is literally never a problem for him. In fact!! Most of his issues stem from people being unable to be normal about how into him they are.

Plus, real facts on Louis. If the sex was bad he wouldn't have been running around for a year n' a half calling Armand everything but his boyfriend. LDPDL has stuck through a lot of -ish, but putting up with boring sex is not one of them. If Loumand got absolutely nothing else out of their relationship, they were getting off

5+ Second Duration: +20$ per extra second

Extra Character: +40$ per extra character

CGI Effects (lightning, smoke, etc): +$10

Possible Complexity Surcharge: (up to) +$40

DESCRIPTION

With your instructions I will produce one colored animation for you to use as you see fit. Post it, use it as an icon or an asset, edit it, remix it, whatever you like, the art is yours. I will reserve the right to post it on my blog and other pages for promo purposes. You will receive one looping GIF file and one MP4 file version delivered digitally, both at HD quality (note you may need to compress these to post on some sites).

COMPLEXITY SURCHARGE: This is just to give you an idea of how much extra (up to 40$) a complex animation may be. Some things that may incur a complexity charge include: animated background, complex animated hair, creature designs that are outside my comfort zone, lighting effects, and difficult perspectives with camera movement.

Please note that the price is heavily variable based on the length and complexity of the animation. If the quote I give you is not within your budget, I am more than happy to suggest ways we could make your idea work for less!

hi. don’t take this the wrong way but saying robot arm and referencing bucky is pretty insensitive. metal arm is bad enough, robot is pretty dehumanizing. it’s a prosthetic. there’s a few disabled people in the bucky fandom including prosthetic users who have explained why this language is ablest in case you wanna learn more. i don’t think you meant to be offensive but we can all listen to marginalized groups and do better. with that being said, a disabled oc is pretty rad.

oh gosh!! i'm so sorry, I think I just saw it phrased that way so much in fandom that it didn't even occur to me, i thought it was just a shorthand for it being like a really advanced sci-fi prosthetic--I'll go edit that and phase it out of my vocabulary. thank you so much for letting me know!! <3

honestly now that everyone knows they’re a regene what is really stopping fawn from finally getting to use it/its like god intended ?

look as someone with medium sized soft breasts it really bothers me when people portray bras as Evil Tools of Oppression that you will chose to frequently forgo once you're (a) Liberated (Woman). I wear a bra every day not because like. men tell me to. or like. i don't want my unfairly sexualized nips to show.

I wear a bra every day because it gives me support. Because otherwise I can't jump without it hurting -- any movement that makes my breasts swing makes the skin stretch, which can be a little painful. I wear a bra (or binder) every day because it makes clothes fit comfortably and I like the way it makes my body look. Going without a bra is not comfortable for me -- for one reason, I don't like wearing pajamas all day long and not wearing a bra puts me in that mentality, but in the same way I enjoy dressing up, I enjoy wearing a bra. (Edit: originally I forgot but they also stop me from feeling my sweaty skin stick together! big win!) But even regardless, my bra is a bag for my two hanging sacks of fat on my chest; it's convenient.

(PS: If your bra hurts, it's too small. Wear it looser or get a bigger one!)

Edit: I have more context for this post in the reblogs but I definitely let it overemphasize my personal feelings when the point I didn't realize I was trying to make was "bras are objects that serve a purpose besides a oppression; it is entirely reason for even a Liberated Feminist to chose to wear a bra". Also I was trying on my binder a different way and realized it's actually not too uncomfortable to not wear a bra with some shirts (may also depend on where in cycle) (I don't think wearing any short of shrug/sweater over would be comfortable though. I don't really like the way it looks but I may pick up lounging like this. #charactergrowth

absolutely no shade to my self-ship siblings (important foundational corner of any healthy fandom ecosystem) however i think all y’all mourning the fact that u as a human could not breed a primarch are missing a very obvious opportunity

like all i’m saying is if u want someone who can ride guilliman until his pelvis breaks yvraine is Right There. she could get him pregnant. i know this. james workshop told me all about it actually

I found out that a fanfic I was really into from phineas and ferb in like 2011, the account on deviantart was deactivated and it's all gone, original work, fanfics, and fanart and I'm terribly sad. It was an important source of fun and happiness when I was 10 years old online. The author had a lot of creative and detailed ideas, I remember many of her works in fondness!

I'm hoping that somebody out there can help me find the fanfic I was originally looking for, it is called "Riot" by Orthgirl123, it's like an angsty future ferbella (2nd dimension-esque) au story. I remember it had only like 8-9 chapters and was incomplete, but I still really enjoyed it. The only thing I remember is that the deviantart group was called "PaF-RIOTFANS" and it ended on a huge cliffhanger where isabella was revealed to be pregnant but she was in danger AARGHHH this sounds silly but I swear I enjoyed reading it when I was 11 and I want to read it again.

degrading ability to spell, type, and think of appropriate words is a strange indicator of migraine to me that i cannot think too much about because that's scary. but also i guess drs are trained to not show 'that's scary' so they don't freak patients out but i feel like some things could use a bit of 'that's scary' from a medical professional. for me personally.
