😅 should I give Pokemon human names, even though there aren't any humans in said world, or...? Cause sometimes I can't think of anything else to nickname a Pokemon, and it just sticks regardless.

Po and Tigress's relationship is so funny because they're written like a queerbait couple but like. its a male character and a female character. like theres some stuff that is obviously written in a way that can be interpreted as romantic but like the movie never actually backs it up with any further development of a romance between the two. there's always that plausible deniability so they dont actually have to follow up on it.

also like i partially found out i might be intersex because i was looking at trans stuff and there was like "(however many) months on t and finally seeing some bottom growth" and like pictures of t-dicks and i was like.... um.... that's kind of just what my clit looks like anyways. so i was like "hey google give me a quick rundown on this" and learned what clitoromegaly was and then i was like. hm. intersex resources. and it's like a sign? symptom? side-effect? of certain intersex conditions

I think you might find the mother-daughter sexual abuse angle in Black Swan of interest if you haven't already delved into that

yesss

I was really taken aback by their relationship when I first watched the film because the incestuous subtext was pretty blatant and I hadn't seen any discussion around it beforehand. The idea of the abusive mother is still pretty hard to register for certain people, so when you add sexual abuse into the mix, plus inflicted on another woman, it mostly disappears from analysis.

god protect and deliver me from the self-inflicted desire to do enough historical research to confidently make expansions and alterations to this medieval fantasy nonsense setting

me when i write a character who is prone to dooming themself and then they run off and doom themself. core traits are stubbornness and a willingness to disregard their own humanity gET BACK HERE IM NOT DONE WITH YOU

I love seeing people comment on my 03 royai work (or about fma03 in general) along the lines of "roy literally had a hot live-in girlfriend why did he decide to go be emo in the mountains" well GOOD NEWS FOR YOU I'm working on a project that not only addresses this, but also takes CoS and goes "haha okay. ANYWAYS" and gives them a meaningful resolution

So, @invisibleicewands​ helpfully pointed out that The White Curl used this Zoom screenshot on their auction page, and well...

tgeres so many ddlc fans now who think libitina is absolutely for sure the name of a person and looks like that one white woman image in natsukis file. and im pretty sure this is matpats fault

to be fair i don't think that's a horrible theory. i think the idea that libitina is a name comes from the projectlibitina.com website, the one hidden under a few layers in sayori's file. the file on the website does seem to suggest it is about a person named libitina, or someone referred to as libitina.

personally i think it's like a code name for this test subject, but it does seem like it. is a name. or a nickname

and since the name libitina and such is hidden in the character files, and the image of the white-haired woman is another easter egg from the character files, i don't think it's unreasonable that people put those two together and came up with libitina = woman in hidden image

the part i think is totally wrong is that libitina is literally yuri, somehow. and i think that's 100% matpat's fault

I don’t know why but I feel today is a great day to remind everyone that the Salem Witch Trials were not caused by the presence of witchcraft (which was not being practiced) nor by bread mold (they knew about ergot poisoning, and while they might have blamed it on ‘witches’ the way they did other misfortunes IF IT WAS PRESENT, it wasn’t enough to cause a panic on its own). Nor was it caused by an ethereal miasma of vague misogyny. Misogyny certainly played a role, both structural and ideological, and most (BUT NOT ALL) of the victims were women.

But what really caused the Salem Witch Trials was a conservative backlash in response to economic anxiety. The earliest accused were often vagrants or otherwise impoverished women who offended the residents of Salem by asking for mutual aid and charity from them. This was in a religious context that required the citizens to grant aid, but America traces its ethic back to the Puritans for a reason; work and private property were valued, community and mutual aid were not. How to get rid of the problem of vagrancy without either giving away any of your stuff or your moral high ground? Well, there’s one charge guaranteed to stick…*

From there accusations ballooned to include well-off townsfolk, particularly widowed or otherwise uncontrolled women, whose stuff the accusers wanted. Giles and Martha Corey were known to be outspoken and argumentative, and had been in a decades-long property dispute with the neighbor who accused them. Of course, these two complementary economic motives fall short of explaining all the accusations; the heightened religious fervor, conservative attempt to consolidate and reassert power, and increased interpersonal animosity in response to social and existential pressures, all contributed to the spread of the phenomenon.

But ultimately, the Salem Witch Trials were the crisis of a community that lacked the culture or infrastructure necessary to sustain itself. Fierce individualism, the refusal of the duty of care to vulnerable members, rigid hierarchy, and authoritarianism: these were the preconditions of the tragedy. External pressures, especially in the form of resistance by the indigenous to colonial encroachment, also played a role.

Just interesting history facts, nothing to see here.

*I don’t mean to imply here that every accuser, or even most, were consciously scheming. I’m trying to clarify motives that they themselves may not have been aware of.
