#im honestly gonna scream

[rottiens]

i can't stop thinking about how work husband took my hand in his to see my nails (i've been doing them pointy recently) and he was like, "you don't hurt yourself with these...? let me see," and went on to take my hand to his neck and scratch his skin. then he giggled and said "it's ok if you leave marks cause i don't have a girlfriend." hello. idk. i was shaking like a chihuahua. someone needs to tell me this man was flirting with me bc wtf was that.

[no27-autonation-honda]

congratulations to Mme. Pascale Leclerc, who has surely just experienced both the funniest and most unhinged weekend a mother could ever have. Dear fucking christ, I hope your middlest son brought you a bottle of champagne for yourself, ma'am.

[reireichu]

(Okay I wasnt going to post this but im actually pissed off.)

((TW INFERTILITY))

Dear Bridgerton fans who are unreasonably angry at Michael being Micheala in the new season,

You still have the book.

Let me bring up points that I've seen in arguments online:

1- "But her story is about infertility! Putting her with a woman changes everything!"

Queer women struggle with infertility too, in fact it can be very difficult for lesbians who wish to start families of their own as not everyone is able to adopt or find a sperm donor, and even if a sperm donor is found THEY CAN STILL HAVE INFERTILITY ISSUES.

Let me list off romance books that deal with cishet women and their infertility issues below-

Untamed Rose, Scandalous Mistress by Bronwyn Scott

The Devil in Disguise by Lisa Kleypas

The Friend Zone by Abby Jimenez

Thief of Shadows by Elizabeth Hoyt

What's Left of Me by Kristen Granata

Lord and Lady Spy by Shana Galen (this one is regency too)

A Secret Sorrow by Karen Van Der Zees

And many more if you google I just dont have all day.

(Extra point, in many of these books the women do not stay infertile and have a miracle baby...not only do many cishet women never get their miracle baby but lesbian couples literally cannot concieve)

And now let me list of books that deal with Lesbian women and their fertility issues-

.....

OH WAIT I COULDNT FIND A SINGLE ONE!!

This leads me to my next point.

2- Bridgerton is a love letter to minorities in romance.

As someone who is south asian myself, I have seen how western beauty standards and racism has treated women in our culture, literally go online and search up "which race would you not date" its disgusting.

I grew up only seeing white women be the desirable one in romances as did many others, you know what changed this for me?

Kate Sharma.

The international audience for Bridgerton especially with brown women of South Asian descent grew TREMENDOUSLY. We had a woman like us portrayed positively and seen as desirable, you guys genuinely do not understand how many brown women watch this show because of season 2.

If we had Kate, WHY should Lesbians struggling with infertility and Black Lesbians not have Francesca and Micheala.

3- "It should have been Eloise and Cressida!"

Why? Because Eloise is a loud mouthed feminist and Cressida is a mean blonde and they shared an understanding? Because theyre both white?

While I do want Eloise to be queer as well just think about that for a moment, while lesbian representation is scarce these days it is even scarcer for Lesbians who do not fit the norm...the mostly white, neurotypical, skinny, cis norm.

Genuinely think about how many times ypu have seen these tropes in wlw fiction, like sit and think about it.

Such as Black lesbians for example, you all are aware they exist right?

I want to reccomend this video by a sunny book nook which talks about how lesbians in a VAST MAJORITY of lesbian romance novels arent really...allowed to be complex characters and it would be some FANTASTIC insight for some of yall

In conclusion, you are allowed to miss Michael, but don't you dare say this takes away from her story, as it ties into the very aim of the show.

Thank you for reading.

[helpmyinterestsareverywhere]

i'm actually going insane - why does thinking about my favourite characters lead to me sobbing and rolling around the floor, holding my head in my hands in agony

^ Not even thinking sad thoughts - thinking about how much I love them

[poetess-trobadour]

Today, was a day.

Embraced in joys and sorrows;

Listen, love: enough was a day if all you did was

Lived it, breathed it, were here.

My day was one of those days,

Entangling me in sorrows more than joys, yet —

I have survived another one.

Darling, have a day,

If having a good one is too much;

Day by day, outlive all of your sorrows.

When a day happens to you,

Embrace yourself with understanding.

Listen, love: night is not meant to last forever,

Let yourself see the sun rise again.

people rly have 0 media literacy how do u watch the first episode of painoko and think that makoto is a crossdressing boy like! just bc she says so?! like it’s maddening to me that people have completely lost the ability to understand media beyond dialogue lines!!!!! i hate it when a show spells obvious things out but im starting to think y’all need it bc makoto is so very obviously a transgender girl in the closet. even if the author messes up with vocabulary and accurate representation, even if makoto and everyone else around her third genders her, she’s OBVIOUSLY TRANS. like hello?? why tf would a crossdressing boy present as a girl in school and expose themselves to transphobic harassment and then secretly change into the boys’ uniform to go home and say “goodbye real me” leaving her girl-presenting clothes behind. HELLO?! but y’all won’t get it till she grabs the camera, breaks the fourth wall and says “i am a transgender woman. i am not an elusive third gendered otokonoko. i am a woman in the closet. im still struggling to come to terms with it. my family and friends also dont get it. but i am transgender, keep this in mind for the rest of the episode.” like come on

[larkthorne]

wow a post vaccine baby is no joke! Haha I'm in danger dot gif.....

[itstimeforstarwars]

Thanks for continuing to work on the Galidraan AU even though you’ve got so much going on! It’s one of my favorite Star Wars fics, and I’m so excited to see where it goes!!!

I'm glad you enjoy it so much!! Galidraan is one of my favorite things to write, and it's one of the brightest spots of joy in my life rn, so even though it's very difficult to get to actually writing on it right now and the updates are coming very slowly, I am working on it in my head all the time and I'm very excited to bring you all on the journey with me!!

[boyybites]

👉👈

I do appreciate everyones love and support for that dragon base I did. Once this work week is over I'll work on adding more traits and stuff to it for u guys❤

[faunandfloraas]

Jeongin having almost no votes on that poll makes sense to me, not because I think he'd do particularly bad but because I'm utterly certain if he ended up stranded with one of us he'd just up and leave and I wouldn't blame him

[note-boom]

Just putting in my two cents for this episode.

One? Fukuchi is ANNOYINGLY op, sorry, but in a really interesting way so I'm also not too mad. I also get slight (just slight) vibes that he's also on the good guys' side? Either he will be defeated as a villain by the end of this or something will come up that actually, he time travel-orchestrated all this all along and he was always on the side of the good guys, idk.

Two? "Sorry, I skipped literature class"

Tachihara, you are PART of literature class

[mymp3]

okay I got feelings out of my system. I'm a changed man now.

[babieken]

This might be controversial, but i dont think kihyun HAD to do that. but He CHOSE to do it (apologize) and i think he was wrong.
