#i’m genuinely disgusted

TIL that child marriage is legal in the US.

Was anyone else under the assumption that you had to be 18+ to marry, or is this just common knowledge and I’m really late to the pedophilia party?

I’m genuinely getting so angry and upset at the comments and dms I’m receiving on Instagram being like “oh so when musicians and actors endorse Kamala it’s fine but when the president of the Fia endorses Trump it’s a problem?”

Like wow. It’s almost as if all art is a reflection of current events and culture as well as the feeling regarding them and can in fact be used as an act of protest. It’s crazy that any artist would express opinions about a current world shifting political event!

Like the thing you have to consider here is that Muhammad Ben Sulayem has consistently made a point to highlight that “politics have no place in this sport.” He has gone far enough to threaten to punish Lewis Hamilton for speaking out about BLM and also threatened Seb for speaking out about Pride. It’s also worth noting that the artists who endorsed Kamala are separate from the corporate entities and are speaking as individuals. MBS is speaking while he is the acting president of the FIA, an organization that represents ever y race creed and religion of the drivers. By endorsing Donald Trump, a rapist fascist and war criminal, and by posting a photo of them shaking hands in front of the McLaren Logo he has isolated his drivers! He has acted out in representation of the fia! He cannot separate himself from his role as FIA president because as long as he is on track or in the paddock he must be that.

Obviously this is a deeply complicated issue but acting as if MBS suddenly bring politics into the sport he has time and time again insisted “has no place in politics” isn’t deeply selfish, irresponsible and as if it hasn’t spit on everything some of the drivers, namely Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel have taken stands for. It’s very clear that politics are only allowed when it benefits his agenda but it’s very, very disappointing.

shonda rhimes, a black woman, staying MUTE when the POC actors/actresses in bridgerton (rege, simone, ruby, masali, charithra, victor, martins and emma) have received vile racist abuse and harassment yet she only defended *checks notes* nicola coughlan, a white woman….

[TW: Mentions of SA/Rape]

You’re telling me that Jorge removed Circe assaulting Odysseus, made Calypso raping Odysseus over the course of Seven Years really vague and only implied to the extent that a large amount of the fandom doesn’t think it happened at all and says she “basically has the mind of a child” on his TikTok videos and has Ody never mention it again, BUT ADDS A WHOLE VERSE WHERE ANTINOUS PLANS TO GANG RAPE PENELOPE AND HAS ODYSSEUS LITERALLY SAY THAT THEY WERE GOING TO RAPE HER WHEN ANTINOUS NEVER DID OR SAID ANYTHING EVEN CLOSE TO WHAT HE DID IN THE ODYSSEY.

really dumb question, but where does it explicitly say billford is canon? I mean, I get that the language used to describe their relationship can closely resemble how one would speak of an abusive/(romantic) relationship (bill isolating ford, bill calling Mcgucket the “third wheel”, “you can call me anything but late for dinner”, bill referencing his experiences with ford in those pages about love advice, bill being very controlling of ford, bill isolating ford, etc.), but where does it explicitly say that they had something? Couldn’t it just be allegory? Couldn’t all that flirting just be one of bill’s personality traits? I’m really confused

[lagosbratzdoll]

I find it odd and by odd I mean racist that ever since that stupid show cast the Dragon Twins as Black girls, there's been an uptick in Jace/Sara content/shipping.

Before the dumpster fire started, reasonable people agreed that Sara Snow was not real, but now you cannot go five minutes in Jace or Baela’s tag without seeing someone wish they'd include Sara Snow in the show.

They say it'll deepen Jace’s character and make him “interesting”, whatever that means. The problem with this assertion is that Jace is already plenty interesting, he led the war councils while his mother grieved, and he recruited the blacks' most important allies. Allies who remained steadfast even after his mother's and his own demise.

Furthermore, Jace has existing relationships in his life that the show could explore to delve into his connection with bastardy. Three of whom are canonically Black, by the way.

So, the question arises: what unique perspective or insight can Sara Snow provide to Jace's struggle with his bastard status that Nettles, Addam, and Alyn cannot?

ouaghhhh so far i am obsessed with every single one of your takes...begging for some insight on the way you see evan 🤲

this makes me all tingly I am so glad you like them!!

this is what I have to offer

( i’m literally writing this in heaven on earth ( a botanic garden i travelled an hour to go to ) and i wouldn’t wish to be anywhere else to ramble about my dear and beloved evan. )

evan grew up in a huge manor, with no supervision, and an overwhelming sense of curiosity. he had a journal in which he kept all his discoveries and an anatomy book with sketches and annotations all over. since he was a child he valued people very strictly and was certain to be superior to everyone except for perhaps pandora. he is odd and strange and fatally mesmerising, people want, need, to look at him, but they can’t. he is pale and sickly looking and entirely graceful but absolutely terrifying to people around him. they say there is something about him that is corruptive to the core, and maybe they’re right, perhaps they would say even more if they knew of his relationship with his sister and his thoughts about the dead. 

Evan loves his mind, he loves the thoughts he has, the thoughts he can have, he loves the capacities it offers him and he feeds off himself. because of that he had never felt the need to associate himself with people other than his twin, her touches feel like his own, what they do it’s both for each other and for themselves, he knows that’s it’s morbid and depraved and perverted but it reflected who they are and who they can be without anyone’s aid. 

i also think evan must have had necrophilic tendencies, a subtle desire he had always had, there is something about the glacial beauty death offers that appeals to him, i feeling of possession, entitlement to the pleasure he might feel, maybe it’s the aloneness it offers, they are two but he is alone to witness, to see ( a fear of vulnerability ? corpses aren’t sentient therefore they offer no judgment). i think it’s due to the fact he was so isolated growing up that connection and intimacy are repulsive ( even if i think he does feel intimate with the corpses in a strange way ). 

i have this weird impression that his emotions are voluntarily dramatic, they are meant to serve as a spectacle, to impression his thoughts that are just as expressive. his anger especially is particularly theatrical, it’s intended to leave an impression and pass a message through. i feel like he would orchestrate public and humiliating/degrading acts of revenge and cause lifetime debilitations while remaining unaffected, not even amused, because when the world is his canvas you don’t need any more space to fill. the way he behaves with people is entirely based on his own twisted logic, he doesn’t hold grudges, he holds debts. 

he loves blood, the divine comedy, german literature, vintage medical tools, insects, control, the thought of cannibalism ( he would hate to be voluntarily sick ), headaches ( they calm the fluctuating thoughts in his head ), his dainty sophisticated clothes, his blond hair, silver jewellery, perfumes, the moonlit night, skeletons when they’re yellow and unattended to, the idea of devotion and human worship, homer ( im convinced he has the ancient greek version that he struggles to read but will never admit to it ),latin, old musical instruments ( when he can play them ), his family manor, clocks.

sorry but alicent hightower isn’t “ruined” this season. you people just never understood her in the first place and think of her as something she’s not lmao.

of course she’s a hypocrite, she has been the whole time. her holier than thou persona is a facade. she wants freedom of choice and, with that, sexual liberation. she gets that now with criston at the price of her own shame and guilt tied to her faith, which is real (criston’s faith, at least in the seven, is NOT, but yknow. for another time). her going for what rhaenyra got and what rhaenyra had the freedom to partake in is not character assassination lmao. It’s what’s been set up this whole time. she’s not this saint that she and her stans claim her to be. she’s variably flawed CLEARLY (which is what makes her a good character) but isn’t going to stray away from the exact thing she claims to hate.

“duty and sacrifice” and “honor and decency will prevail” are shown to the viewer to be hypocritical statements. fucking obviously. why did anyone take that at face value LMAO. All those things are what alicent herself has been forced to align with since she was a child made to marry viserys. she wants rhaenyra to ALSO fit that mould and to feel that misery that she’s felt, just as she wishes she had the freedom rhaenyra has. that doesn’t mean she believes in these ideas. she clearly goes against them; that’s her character. she believes that she believes them, but her desire to leave the mould outweighs that time and time again.

to say that she’s an outlandishly different character in s2 after seeing one singular episode is insane. she’s the same. she and criston is not a left field decision, nor is it a particularly bad one, even if it did feel abrupt (which is more a pacing issue). alicent and criston’s joint hypocrisy has been pointed out the entire time. to further highlight it is not bad writing or character ruination. you just didn’t understand them in the first place. Alicent isn’t a blushing nun. she’s a woman whose old decrepit husband is finally dead and now has the freedom she didn’t get at 17.

Unfortunately Genshin posting! but I am never going to play that game again!! Natlan preview looked so bad I actually can’t believe in the year 2024 this is normalized!!

Love to see a thread full of blatant ableism on a supposedly progressive subreddit. Redditors try not to be garbage human beings challenge (IMPOSSIBLE DIFFICULTY).

Like, I guess disabled and neurodivergent people are irrational and selfish for asking for society to accommodate us. The ADA should have never been passed and disabled folks should just shut up and stop bothering able-bodied neurotypicals.

[jelly-of-many-ships]

All my neil gaiman books officially off the shelf and sitting in a trash bag ready to be donated. It’s a shame, most of them I got in the last year and didn’t have a chance to read yet, but I am beyond disgusted and need them out of my home immediately.

[portraitofalonelydyke]

the world really does hates fat people huh

[stunfiskz]

i was genuinely actually excited for my future for a bit. i really thought that i would actually be able to be happy when i go to college and that i could finally fucking start t. but there’s a solid chance that my future is going to be gone by that point. i don’t see what fucking reason i actually have to try to stay in a world that hates me and a world i will never be able to be happy in

[heartual]

i don’t think i’ve had withdrawals this bad since wellbutrin i need to kill myself and respawn tomorrow

[purple-space-aliens]

hey btw if you say shit like “i’m glad i’m not a carnivorekin, no one has the right to take away the lives of others and you call yourself a predator, but you're simply a killer without mercy” get the fuck off my blog. i don’t give a fuck what your reason is for saying this, being a carnivore alterhuman does not make anyone fucking evil. i am sick and tired of this guilt tripping nasty bullshit i’m seeing some of the extremists in the alterhuman tags say this fucking garbage. a diet or a kintype is no excuse to call anyone fucking evil, and especially not in a somewhat paranoia inducing way. i hold no hate towards vegans, but some of you have absolutely disgusting attitudes and i don’t want it anywhere near me or the rest of our system
