how do you feel about lesboys? genuinely asking :0

uhh, i mean. We don’t really focus on gender/sexuality discourse that much these days, mostly bc it kinda gets to the point where if you identify as something, it kinda doesn’t affect anyone or anything? (Except for like, radqueers, but thats a whole other issue that is NOT comparable to lesboys or anything)

my opinion on them is that: i don’t personally understand it, nor do i relate, but lesboys are still human and deserve to be heard, hopefully that makes sense lmao.

Just because I don’t understand something doesn’t make it invalid, or that I think it makes it so either. And same can be said with ppl who thinks they’re inhuman, tho that is just an actual mental problem (not being ableist, like genuinely, if its a mental disorder, its a mental disorder) we should still treat them with respect.

desire is better when its unfulfilled and you purposefully ignore it like those strawberries you threw out in the wastebin in your room when you were 15 even though your mom always told you not to throw fruit out in that bin because it’s only for paper and then the strawberries molded and your entire room smelled like mold and you had a headache for months and eventually they desiccated and became piles of black crud that mostly disappeared as the years crawled past and now all that’s left are tiny black lumps at the bottom of the can that fused with the plastic and can never be removed.

Victoria Coren Mitchell for favourite moment meme. No point me going on anon as obviously if someone is obsessing over Victoria, it will be me.

gosh i really need to rewatch s12 because i simply don't remember much from this series but i know she had so many great moments

but the thing that sticks out is always "cool kids customized their inhalers"

I think Gastronauts on Dropout is the cooking show that has made me truly appreciate the skill of professional chefs more than any other cooking show.

Like I don't know if it's because the challenges are so crazy or the fact that the judges don't have any professional input whatsoever (they're all comedians), but the combination of how utterly stoked the judges are to be eating this food and how creative the chefs get to be really works to make you marvel at just how skilled a professional chef has to be.

Other cooking shows always have a level-voiced narrator listing out shit like,

"Rebecca is doing a praline-mint ganache with a Twiffly Street stir-up, combined with a gestelle Santa Maria sponge technique."

And it's fun to pretend like, 'Ah, yes. Of course! A classic of the genre! He'd be a fool not to!' as though I know anything about cooking or baking.

But on Gastronauts, it's a bunch of comedians who would really graciously appreciate some fancy food, watching chefs cook and going, like,

"What is that? What is he doing?? It's like- like a swishy thing! Like a fancy swishy thing!!"

"OH MY GOD YES, HE'S USING ONIONS."

"Ooo! Crunchies!??"

And then the chefs get to come out and formally present their food, which makes them look very smart. And these actors who generally can't afford Michelin star cuisine are just :DDDD!

And it's like, oh yeah. This is about my level, yes. This conveys how normal people who don't eat good food for a living would actually react. And it's super chill. It's good vibes, that show. 👌

I think, perhaps one of the funniest things to come from EPIC popularising the Odyssey is that now a ton of people think Poseidon wanted to kill Odysseus.

In the Odyssey, Poseidon has no intention of killing Odysseus. In fact, part of the whole reason Zeus lets Poseidon do whatever he wants even though he thinks Odysseus is rad and should get to kiss his wife is explicitly because Poseidon had no intentions of killing Odysseus. Poseidon wanted to pay back the suffering/inconvenience blinding Polyphemus would have caused. It's a really abstract thing tbh. How do you pay back someone permanently disabling your son? Poseidon's solution was just to amputate Odysseus from his other half; i.e. Penelope. The end game was never murder, it was always an endurance race.

(Od. Book 1: Zeus reassuring Athena that he is not, in fact, a part of Odysseus Hater-Nation. Trans. Robert Fagles)

Also, for those wondering if there's any sort of in text reason for why Poseidon wasn't around in God Games - at the time in the Odyssey when Athena petitions Zeus to let Odysseus leave Calypso's island, Poseidon was -checks notes- on vacation in Ethiopia. Yep. He left to Ethiopia for a festival and thusly was very much absent for Athena's whole "please let Ody go? Please? 🥺" request.

(Od. Book 1: While Odysseus was suffering, Poseidon went to party in the east)

I am begging y'all to read the Odyssey. It's a comedy for everyone except Odysseus and Penelope who are, in fact, suffering 24/7 365.

The queen wore a high-collared black silk gown, with a hundred dark red rubies sewn into her bodice, covering her from neck to bosom. They were cut in the shape of teardrops, as if the queen were weeping blood.
