Simoncest is so funny to me because I definitely don’t ship it but also do wanna keep seeing fanart of Winter King being absolutely disturbing and unnerving to Simon

What do you call it when an evil and insane version of a character has such a strange infatuation with a reformed and morally good alternate version of themself to the point that it’s terrifyingly romantic in an undesirable way?

It’s just so interesting to me. The evil craves the good and the good fears the evil and they continue this game of self-inflicted torture upon each other until the good succumbs or the evil is defeated

When the good succumbs you get selfcest but when the evil’s defeated everything returns to normal ig. Depends on your preference

This is so funny because this reminded me of a conversation I had with my grandfather where we were discussing the origin stories of every Robin and he said “Wait what the hell was Jason going to do with those tires that are custom made for the Bat Mobile specifically? They wouldn’t fit any other car so who would even buy them?” and I suggested “Maybe he’d sell the Bat Tires so people can make their own Bat Mobiles” which is a stupid take cause that’s not how cars work and the conversation only escalated to us criticizing Jason’s money-making methods over brunch

he’s right behind me, isn’t he

"The non-binary rep wiki was consulted and then promptly abandoned in favor of my own personal picks for who I think the best enby characters are in modern media. I chose people based off familiarity and gender envy. If your fav isn’t on the bracket don’t worry, this isn’t the only poll out there."

tfw you're in a tiny yellow submarine with your probably-still-partner (who thought you kissed him maybe thirty minutes earlier) and the ghost of your father squeezes in there with you to offer yet another bit of unsolicited relationship advice so you have to stare over your shoulder in baffled disbelief which somehow makes the situation even more homoerotically charged than before, even though you were already sitting in his lap while he was telling you that you really butter his muffin. you know. that feeling.

Joy is a blueberry muffin.

It’s more than that

It’s about falling in love with your opposite and being afraid to engage with them with physical touch out of fear of hurting each other

It’s about wanting to honor the sacrifices of your parents while feeling unfulfilled in your own endeavors and underprivileged in your own society

It’s about love, it’s about family, it’s about being true to yourself and about exploring a world beyond your limitations

I love this movie

I saw ELEMENTAL yesterday. What a great little romance film. The marketing really dropped the ball -- this is a movie about a second generation immigrant struggling to balance what she wants to do with her life with what her father wants, and also has to deal with falling in love. Yet the trailers don't convey any of that.

Anyway, it's a great film. Go see it.

Now me being the curious person I am, I decided to sit and watch the first episode(s?) of "Strawberry Shortcake: Berry in the Big City". And while I can talk about the intro (like how it surprised me seeing Huck appearing in it and singing because the last time we saw Huck in the 2009 adaptation. Um. Let's just say he would not have that career.) or the fact that Strawberry has pink hair (which you know, looks nice on her design but again, really surprising), I want to briefly talk about Blueberry Muffin.

Who actually decided to write her the way she is? I genuinely want to know because I know they did not make my mystery loving girl like that. Her being spiritual (I think that's the word to describe her?) is lovely and all but I feel like they exaggerated it A LOT. As in, they make it be the joke. And I really don't like it.

I think it’s super interesting how the patriarchy is so embedded into our culture that our modern language helps push patriarchal values.

I’ve done a bit of personal research into this topic and thought I would share it here

(Note this was a quick highschool project so it’s not super in-depth but I would love other people’s thoughts on it) sorry this is long :)

I’m currently taking a class in my high school where we are talking about gender, feminism, sexuality, and the patriarchy. Specifically how the patriarchy is imbedded in our day to day lives and how it’s effects intersect with other issues such as racism, homophobia, classism, etc.

I looked into the English language and linguistic relativity.

An Analysis of Sexism in English

In the English lexicon, one of the most obvious evidences of sexism is the affixes which lead to a view of women as a deviation from men. This is commonly seen with suffixes such as -ess or -ette.

Example: Actor “ a person who plays the part of a character in a movie or play”, when attached to a feminine suffix –ess, becomes actress with the meaning of “ woman with profession similar to those of actor”. ← othering of women as if Femininity is inherently not human. Why is actor “a person” while Actress is “A woman” why make the distinction?

Other examples include:

Masculine Feminine

ambassador ambassadress

duke duchess

prince princess

poet poetess

Sometimes adding the suffix -ett or -ess completely changes the meaning and value of the word. (Govenor vs Goveness- one rules a country the other teaches children in their homes).

Why does this matter?

We need to considered how language is intimately tied to behavior, knowledge, and culture. Sapri-Whorf Hypothesis, more commonly known as linguistic relativity is the theory that a person's language changes how they perceive the world around them. Since its conception, this theory has been widely debated. However, most people believe the theory, it's debated how much language impacts our culture, but the idea that it has an impact is backed up by many studies.

Studies include Colour study, how Russian speakers could identify colors faster than English speakers + How German speakers lost that ability after years of speaking English. Note that Russian and German both have more labels for colors, differing them from English speakers.

How has our language accidentally othered femininity?

The acoustic and perceptual bases of judgments of women and men's sexual orientation from read speech.

This studies how people view sexual orientation based on their speech and voice. They found that gay men were easier to identify than lesbians even though they both changed their speech. Men would raise their voice, feminine while women would lower theirs to be more masculine. This shows how femininity is easier to identify because we see it as an “other” so when women show more masculine traits we gloss over it because we see it as more “normal”.

This is only one example that shines light on how we don’t even notice these biases. There are likely hundreds of more that we can't even begin to imagine because it is so ingrained in our day-to-day life, our culture, and our society.

Impact/intersect

Misogyny and Homophobia: Patriarchy, gender policing, and the Male Gaze

It’s hard to tell which came first. Did our black and white language accidentally push an anti feminine belief or has misogyny and the patriarchy impacted our day to day speech? Either way at this point it’s more of a cycle constantly pushing patriarchal values.

Misogyny is not only the act of hating women but hating anything seen as “feminine”. When it comes to homophobia gay men and lesbian women are treated differently. Homosexual men tend to suffer discrimination and abuse because they don’t fit what is considered “manly” This is why people say things like “that's so gay” as an insult. Men not adhering to masculinity or showing more feminine traits are discouraged.

On the other hand, lesbians get more hate due to fetishization and breaking the patriarchy. Many queer women in WLW presenting relationships have experienced comments including “Can I get in on that” or “I can join in if you want a threesome”. Interestingly, “butch” women and others who present more masculine are “treated with fear and contempt for trying to encroach on traditionally male territory and not conforming to normative ideals of female beauty” (Williamson, 7).

Obviously there’s more impacts that have resulted however I just focused on homophobia as an example of intersectionality. If you have any other examples feel free to add on and share them.

Anyways thanks for listening to my rant I just thought it was interesting :)
