It's in those quiet little towns, at the edge of the world, that you will find the salt of the earth people who make you feel right at home.

Double Standard Dictionary: A Guide to Things That Are Only "Problems" When Women Do Them
Let's have an honest conversation about something that drives me absolutely crazy. You know those little comments and judgments that somehow only seem to apply to women? Yeah, we need to talk about that.
The Professional Edition
When men vs. when women do the exact same thing:
He's assertive → She's aggressive
He's focused → She's cold
He's passionate → She's emotional
He's dedicated → She's obsessed
He's confident → She's arrogant
He's strategic → She's manipulative
He's busy → She's neglecting her life
The Dating Double Standards
The classics that never seem to die:
He's dated around → She has "a past"
He's a bachelor → She's "left on the shelf"
He's selective → She's picky
He's career-focused → She's married to her job
He's a social butterfly → She's attention-seeking
He's "finding himself" → She needs to settle down
He's direct → She's desperate
The Appearance Police
The endless contradictions:
Look professional, but not too try-hard
Be attractive, but not attention-seeking
Wear makeup, but keep it "natural"
Be fit, but not too muscular
Dress well, but not too sexy
Look youthful, but not immature
Age gracefully, but never look old
The Emotion Edition
How it's perceived:
His anger is justified → Her anger is hysteria
His sadness is deep → Her sadness is dramatic
His stress is from hard work → Her stress is from "not coping"
His excitement is enthusiasm → Her excitement is over-the-top
His concerns are valid → Her concerns are paranoid
His anxiety is pressure → Her anxiety is weakness
The Family Chronicles
The never-ending judgment:
He's babysitting → She's just parenting
He's helping around the house → She's doing her job
He's focused on work → She's neglecting family
He needs time to himself → She's selfish
He's weighing his options → She's wasting time
He's figuring out what he wants → Her clock is ticking
The Office Politics
Things I'm tired of seeing:
Men get mentored → Women get hit on
Men network → Women "sleep their way up"
Men are busy → Women "can't handle it"
Men are thorough → Women are perfectionists
Men delegate → Women are lazy
Men need work-life balance → Women are uncommitted
The Social Scene
The ridiculous expectations:
Be fun but not too wild
Be social but not too friendly
Be smart but not intimidating
Be successful but not threatening
Be independent but not difficult
Be strong but still need help
Be confident but still humble
The Success Paradox
What we're dealing with:
Be ambitious but not threatening
Lead but don't be bossy
Achieve but don't outshine
Negotiate but don't be demanding
Succeed but stay likeable
Excel but remain modest
Win but make it look effortless
The Reality Check
What this actually means for us:
Constant second-guessing
Walking on eggshells
Energy drain from overthinking
Imposter syndrome
Reduced authenticity
Limited self-expression
Unnecessary stress
The Way Forward
What we can do about it:
Call it out
Name the double standard
Question the logic
Point out the inconsistency
Support other women
2. Break the patterns
Reject unfair labels
Define success personally
Set our own standards
Celebrate authenticity
3. Change the narrative
Share success stories
Highlight achievements
Create new networks
Mentor others
To Every Woman Dealing With This
Remember:
You're not "too much"
Your achievements are earned
Your feelings are valid
Your ambitions are worthy
Your standards are important
Your voice matters
Your path is yours

Rewatching all HTTYD media and realising Hiccup is one of the best shots of the show like genuinely sticks funeral arrow hitting the target that far away, the fact he shot down toothless in pitch blackness while toothless was completely camouflaged there's some more I'm missing but damn get that kid in the Olympics right this second
imagine how much shorter rtte would’ve been if they gave hiccup a gun
#asks#anonymous#my art#httyd#how to train your dragon#hiccup horrendous haddock iii#hiccup haddock#thank u for the ask!!!#hiccup’s marksmanship is not as talked about but i wish it was#at least it seemed like in the beginning that playing ranged offense was his style#which made sense given his tactical battle plan-on-the-fly mindset#every modern au that gives him glasses is a menace#hiccup would only wear glasses if he was trying really hard to pull off his best clark kent#others have 20/20. hiccup has 40/40 vision#like how else did his ass see on the back of a dragon that breaks the sound barrier when he flies.#em.txt

"Now you live in a secret bunker with an angel and Lucifer’s kid", AKA queering domesticity par excellence
#something capital-q Queer about the way they create a life within The Life unlike the heteronormative 'apple pie life' the show critiques#(and just the way they're masculine mlm never stereotyped into 'man/woman' roles even with constant parallels to m/f pairings)#it's barrier-breaking and they're very special to me 🥺#dean winchester#castiel#destiel#spnedit#supernatural#spn#parallels#dean is bi#spn is queer#mine

imagine being a shy little intern at jujutsu high and getting the fattest crush on gojo because he’s just. so strong and cool. you idolize him. you want to be his friend. and he seems to take a liking to you; he’s cheery and encouraging and sweet in a roundabout way. you feel like you’ve grown pretty close to him.
imagine him falling asleep right next to you on a sofa in the cafeteria. you can barely tell, with his blindfold still on. but you scurry away to find a blanket, happy that he trusts you enough to rest in your proximity, ready to wrap it around him —
only for it to slip right off. rejected by his infinity.
(he never turns it off, around you.)
#throws up blood#thinking about how gojo’s infinity is both a very real power and a metaphor for the barrier between him and the world#he’s sooo guarded and it breaks my heart#this is kind of part of a drabble im planning on writing for him……#i like the idea of him with a reader who idolizes him. while he never quite views them as important#not at all in a mean way . you just don’t have a chance of breaking into his heart.#he might act friendly but he’ll never let you in#…. he’s so stray cat coded#ari noises ✩#gojo x reader#anyway don’t mind me posting this rq i’ll post a full gojo fic tmrw this has just been rotting in my drafts for a bit 😭

#in honor of me breaking my own heart i present you with the same#now to business: this show both is and isn't subtle about the relationship between these two#no matter what form it is in these two idiots love each other and would willingly die for one another no hesitation#i mean here when ZYZ is about to destroy the barrier with everyone inside ZYC basically just accepts it because it means that ZYZ can live#and this little inaudible scene has got me in a soggy meltdown lately because ZYC is saying something! But we can't hear it!#but what is it that he's saying!? AAhnnnnnng#i'll just leave it here for everyone to see#and go cry by myself#😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😖#fangs of fortune#zhuo yichen#zhao yuanzhou#tian jiarui#hou minghao#da meng gui li#大梦归离#mf fof#my:gif#cdrama#i am very unwell right now by the way

ok, what ive learned from this:
THE CHILDREN
(the ex-QSMP members)
YEARN FOR
THE MINES
(the qsmp (actually just a place where they can all play together and hangout with the benefits of a highly impressive real-time translator to facilitate easy cross-language communication - you know, like the qsmp))
#so many convos these few days have been “man i havent seen u in ages” with a wistful tone#aaaand it breaks my hearttttttt#like legit#the qsmp was a lot of things good and bad#but first and foremost it was a place you could log on anytime and talk with friends u never would have even met#put down the lore and all the complicated reasons why it ended#i wish it still existed just for the goal it was created - to break down cultural and language barriers via a plugin in a little block game#qsmp#squidcraft#squidcraft 3#quackity

Prompt 181
“Hey. Hey Tuck. Tucker. Tuck look. Look.”
Tucker looked over the edge of the screen lazily, the half interested words on his tongue dying as he let out a wheeze of laughter. “Oh my Ancient Sands, dude, how did you manage that?”
Danny had, for the last near year, been trying to mix shapeshifting, thank you Amorpho, with duplication. Something he’d apparently succeeded in today, if the massive fuck-you hydra standing before him was any indication. The very pleased looking, well did it count as a hydra if it had wings too?
“You need to show Sam. Oh my Sands we need to show Val too. And Wes. You did it dude!” He floated up to look at Danny, who did a little twirl to show off. He shook his head, flecks of gold and sand falling from his hair as he laughed.
“Do you think,” Danny lost it in laughter as several other heads echoed his words, from whichever the main him was. “Holy ancients that’s great- do, do you think we can make a dragon club? Hydras are totally dragons right? Do you think we could pull a Tiamat?”
He landed on a head, taking a selfie to add to the groupchat labeled Preparations. “Dude, we should, but let me send this to the others first… But I am so down.”
They can, in fact apparently, pull a Tiamat- with a little help from Princess Dora, practice in front of Frostbite in case something goes wrong, and some advice from Pandora on controlling extra limbs. Honestly, who is going to want to mess with Amity when there’s a giant dragon? And hey, maybe they can break the barrier now!
The heads for those wondering who I was thinking of for each lol And perhaps what they might all get ((1) Kwan, Pressurized Water) ((2) Wes, Sonic Blast) ((3) Sam, Poison Gas) ((4) Star, Plasma) ((5) Danny, Ice Breath) ((6) Paulina, Acid) ((7) Tucker, Electricity) ((8) Valerie, Fire Breath) ((9) Dash, Pressurized Wind)
#Prompts#The Class Pulls a Tiamat#They’re all adults and graduated#But can’t exactly go anywhere thanks to the shield/barrier around the town#The whole town is now liminal as hell thx to the ecto having nowhere to disperse#Bounced back from the shield back into the city from the portal#Dcxdp#Dpxdc#Dp x Marvel#Whichever works for u#Amity is under an info blackout thanks to the barrier#They have no idea what’s happening outside#Hey if they can’t break the barrier themselves they’ll just combine their might together#Liminal Amity Park#The group when they succeed in becoming dragon: We are Death Destroyer of Worlds#The GIW panic and call heroes in when a Very Big THING not only approaches the ghost shield#but actually looks like it might get through#The rest of Amity might pull a Become Dragon too but honestly up to yall#Amity: Ghosts are illegal but dragons aren't!
