You are LAUGHING. Black people are desperate for aspirational figures and instead of digging into history of subsaharan Africa they are trying to claim the last and most cringefail Egyptian dynasty, and you’re LAUGHING.
(Seriously. Jada, I know you have been trough some shit last year and probably need a pick-me-up, but seriously?! Who the fuck wants the Ptolemies?! That’s like when people claim Peter the Great slept with Menshikov; like, as a queer person, my honest answer to that is “we don’t want them”.)
#random history#queen cleopatra#queen cleopatra netflix#cleopatra netflix#the ptolemies#ptolemaic dynasty#this is why i was stoked for#the woman king#i don't care if it's historically accurate#it's a step in the right direction#i.e. realizing that SUBSAHARAN AFRICA HAS A HISTORY TOO#also of all the egyptian queens#why the one LEAST likely to be black?!#hatshepsut was Right There...

every time a man assumes I'm a tradwife type because of how I dress, I just want to be like "at any given time it's been an average of three weeks since I last shaved my armpits. sometimes longer"
#personal#historybounding#body hair#hey it's historically accurate! because weirdly enough sleeveless evening gowns DO predate widespread armpit hair removal#for western women#or short sleeves that could ride up and expose the hair#the Victorians just...don't seem to have cared really? I've yet to find an actual objection to armpit hair on women#as for legs I gave up on those years ago#the amount I care about my body hair is nil#I care about my head hair and my skincare and my clothes#body hair is just like. oh. it's there. whatever#it was good enough for my style icons. I'm an adult woman so there's going to be body hair. what do you want from me.

Season 4 hope/prediction: Deb's show is solid, zero issues, runs flawlessly with great ratings, but her personal life is completely eroding. We start with her discovering Marcus is leaving, and it culminates in DJ going into labor right before a taping. Deb chooses the show. When it's over, and she finally flies to Vegas, it's too late -- Aiden's not letting her in because he loves his wife too much to let DJ get into a shouting match with her mom right after giving birth, and instead takes the brunt of Deb's wrath, with her making excuses and talking about how they used her money for IVF, and anyway, DJ's fine, so who cares if she wasn't there? Kathy's in the room with DJ and the baby (DJ's the closest she has to a daughter, after all) and Deb leaves too furious to think about how badly she's hurt her family.
She heads back to her Vegas mansion -- empty, obviously, Josefina and the dogs would be in LA -- and pops open a bottle of wine. Alone. Completely alone. Can't call Marty, she has no friends, the closest she's got would be Kiki and wouldn't that be embarrassing, calling your poker dealer to talk about your feelings --
and then Ava's there. She got the news about DJ's labor, she got the story from Aiden (who was distraught, by the way, man's too much of a sweetheart for Vance drama), a spare key from Damian (happy to pawn that off on her, though if it isn't returned promptly he's taking legal action) and has arrived just in time to see the Deborah Vance having a breakdown the likes of which no one thought physically possible. Crying gives you wrinkles, you know. But Ava has to be here. She's the physical embodiment of a lesson Deb never truly learned: you don't have to like someone to love them.
In my imaginary fantasy land that I am concocting this would then subsequently lead into them fucking nasty but I understand that this may be a step too far for the surprisingly large number of very normal people who watch this show and would forgive JPL for not taking it that far. However I do believe they should fuck about it and let Ava take the reigns in their relationship while they see how many of Deb's bridges they can un-burn.
#hacks hbo#ava x deborah#avorah#avadeb#hey if anyone wants to bother writing this for real go for it I don't care#if any of this is any degree of accurate for JPL's vision of s4 then I will be extremely happy#deb is NOT miranda priestly#miranda knew from the start that she could never have human connection or she'd lose her dream job#deb has inspired such genuine devotion that she does not understand that a woman in a man's role historically requires sacrifice#she knew the fire cost her the show but she didn't KNOW that that was the only reason until now#that the network did not give a shit at all#the advertisers did and the advertisers are the true enemy#she still believes she got to the top through hard work and talent#wrong the deborah vance brand was built by people who love her and believe in her#only when she has lost DJ will she be open to hearing the truth (that it was a group effort)#from the mouth of the one person who stood by her out of a wombo combo of love and spite#only THEN will she accept that kathy was right#THIS is why frank left her. THIS behavior. the belief that SHE is a special queen who did it all alone#frank was scum by the way dude groomed her little sister#his behavior is fucked but his reason is close enough to correct that ava can use it as an example of how much deb HAS to change#btw please please please we need deb sleeping with ava and not calling it a mistake because she's too fucking tired and sad

I hate when people say "before the internet people weren't so rude, internet normalized insulting other people and even sending them death threats" when Archilochus and Hipponax were bragging about insulting people so badly they killed themselves in the VII and VI centuries b. C. respectively
#am I saying it's a good thing? No#but historically speaking getting in your literal mailbox to send hate has always existed#so yeah. just be accurate when you talk about this stuff.#tw suicide#'don't care + I already wrote wrote in my iamb that you kill yourself because my insults were too powerful + I fucked your little sister +#l + ratio'#archilochus you will always be famous (derogatory)

the crown's version of queen elizabeth is a better wife than me because if my misogynistic husband kept trying to supersede my authority all the damn day the next time he did it in front of another person i would just call him "queen philip" and make him cry because of his hatred of women
#personal#season 2 philip is the most annoying man ever#poor matt smith gets stuck playing this incel-esque deeply sexist men who abhor their wives for being of a higher station than them#buddy get OUT of there!!!!! this is now two times you've played an evil man who sucks and is a shitty husband and dad too!#(ironically prince philip and daemon are soooooo similar but prince philip in the crown legit comes off better)#(which is just a sign of how much daemon sucks)#anyway i don't care if it wasn't historically accurate or would have been rude to do to a man who was still alive at the time of airing#i would have written someone getting sick of philip's constant temper tantrums about a life he voluntarily signed up for#and turning one of his constant sexist/homophobic insults back around on him#next time man starts whining about how his monarch wife isn't paying enough respect to him even tho he's legit A Guy without her#call him a 'priss' for pitching a fit and watch him utterly collapse

Great just end it with fucking genocide, make that seem fine to write. Totally not like living poc have trauma surrounding that. Fuck you to every fucking writer who saw a show that finally had a poc queer cast and decide "you know what this needs? the blood of asian women" and then to fucking gloat that brits will never be fucking slaves as if- you know what if you don't know history and about the trans atlantic slavery and the issues we currently have with human trafficking at this point and you're a fucking adult, that's on you and fuck you if you don't give a shit about this
once again to every single fucking person who greenlit this or heard this idea and went "yes, good."
fuck you
#ofmd#again not taking critique from fucking white people cus y'all weren't the ones killed in this case#if your people were the ones who died then go off#but this killed asian women#like fucking hell my mothers generation survived actual fucking genocide#but whatever the queer community is good at screwing over poc queer people anyway why should i expect people to care about us now#mark my words#this post will get like 2 fucking notes#and it will be forgotten#but i won't forget#i never forget#our flag means death#the same tags apply from the last one and i don't wanna hear a single “but it's a queer show” as if poc queer people don't exist#or “it's historically accurate” NO TF IT ISNT BITCH LOOK UP THE ACTUAL HISTORY OF THE FUCKING PIRATE QUEEN AND WHY PEOPLE WANTED HER ON THE#FUCKING SHOW HOLY SHIT#and i swear to god if i see a single “so what comedy can't show genocide?” as if taika waititi didn't fucking write and direct jojo rabbit

for the ask game
Sahadev scrunched his flushed pale face while pointing at the rather gross amount of pus and blood flowing out of the mare's legs. "Someone is going to have to clean that up, because I won't."
Nakul elbowed him on the side. "You'd do if it was a cow."
"Cows are calm, gentle things. Your horse has kicked me thrice already even though I was just trying to help her."
"That's because you were poking her where it hurt, brother dear. And she's not my horse. She just likes me."
#hindu mythology#mahabharata#sahadeva#nakula#from a wip about the early life of the Pandavas#for context- the horse has rain rot and they're trying to help her#is this historically accurate? IDK. Do I care? I still don't know

My word is: Charlotte
Good choice!!! I've got a juicy one for you: "You should know - I don't go by Charlotte anymore. That was my human name. Now, I am Princess Morgana. And I will do whatever it takes to protect you."
Send me a word, if it’s in my wip document I’ll answer your ask with the sentence that it appears in.
#this is still from the Tudor era#She looks amazing#I don't care if it's remotely historically accurate

heyya! I saw a recent ask from someone else about sonic in pirate clothes, so now I’m curious: what’s your take on the (somewhat) official pirate sonic clothes?
Sonic and shadows look good in sonic battle! haven't watched prime but dread has a very good pirate vibe. Amy & rest in the pirate dimension don't have very memorable outfits. or i'd remember them.

I'm forcefully removing these historical characters from your grasp until you learn to distinguish fictional representations of historical figures in a television show from the real historical figures.
#This is not fandom-specific I have just Seen Too Much#Like I really don't care if people have their zanny headcanons#Do whatever you want honestly say he had twelve arms and liked cross-dressing just don't start claiming it's 'real history'#Real problem with people e.g. projecting their own gender stuff onto real historical figures because of a TV show and then refusing to like#Acknowledge that the fictional portrayal of that character is not necessarily accurate or reflective of who they really were.#And again this isn't fandom specific I see it far too often in any fandom based around historical media#People getting unhealthily attached and projecting and refusing to separate fiction from non-fiction etc#This happens in non-historical fandoms too but in fandoms of historical media you just get that#Extra ick layer of people with zero degrees in the subject insisting their headcanons are now Real History and taking things out of context#Acting like they're authorities.#You're not: you're an amateur armchair enthusiast. And there's nothing wrong with that!#But let's not be a certain Historical Fiction Author for a Certain Time and go around saying you're historians because you wrote a fanfic#Because you're not.#You love history and that's wonderful!#That doesn't make you an authority or a historian.#text#misc
