honestly hilarious that the lannister siblings are all history freaks in different direction. cersei rolls her eyes that jaime doesn't know what the second blackfyre rebellion was about while he rattles off the tale of ser luthor pisseryon of daeron i's kingsguard, who served for all of seven moons before he died shitting himself en route to dorne. meanwhile tyrion's sitting in the corner reading maester leomore's neo-myrxist critique of archmaester hargreave's account of the Storming of the Dragonpit (The Warrior Himself: Examining the Dying of the Dragons in the Light of the Seven) and not paying attention to it one bit because he’s moping about how everyone in kings landing hates him, the imp, because he’s ugly and rich, and not because he’s a feudal overlord who is fundamentally detached from the immediate concerns of his starving subjects
#lannister siblings#house lannister#jaime lannister#cersei lannister#tyrion lannister#tyrions main problem is that he acknowledges that he is in an unfair system#and has the capacity to examine more than most non-childcharacters his privileged role in the system#(see his view on the smallfolk bread riots or on the starks or on being. a dwarf after penny)#but yet is blindsided every time when people hate him for being part of that system (sansa penny the smallfolk. many such cases)#love ya tyrion you suck <3

Remember: The burning sensation is part of the process.
#Mouthwashing#blood#body horror#Emphasizing here that this is in reference to a media and character and not a cry for help on my end.#Mouthwashing is one of those games that tickles my brain and checks all the boxes for my niche interests -#-but it wasn't something that got the silly comic part in my cortex firing up. My analysis brain is eating well though!#What said...It is impossible for me to see this scene and not say out loud: “Me in the middle of my work day".#While there is a lot more going on with curly I personally resonated a lot with his struggles with burnout.#Burnout feels like mouthwash to me. That you keep rinsing out your mouth trying to get rid of the rotting smell#but it's just surface level solutions. The real cure requires something far more significant to actually make a difference.#The job 'is hard' and 'everyone struggles'. It's part of the process right? You're tired? Anxious? Depressed? Us too! Chin up!#Actually I resonated with a lot of things within Curly (this is a curly positive space - he's not perfect. He's just human).#One thing being his desire to see the good in people and believe in their potential.#Because here's the thing. Some people truly do just need someone in their corner who stands by them so they can grow and improve.#And some people will take advantage of your kindness. You focus so much on their humanity while you stop being a person to them.#The horrifically toxic relationship persists because Curly tries to see the bigger picture and believes in the good within.#Anyone who has lived through constantly trying to reframe the hurt as something else knows-#-just how many excuses your brain will make to avoid cognitive dissonance. It's human psychology.#Jimmy sucks so bad. But we the audience have the privilege of not having years of baggage associating him in our minds as 'friend'.

PLEASE tell me the prof roasted them
unfortunately no, i'm the only other openly/visibly trans person in the class and we made direct eye contact and i could FEEL the discomfort physically but basically what they ended up saying was "hey I'm really not a fan of jkr but I will do my best to remain impartial about your work" which was what prompted the idiot who was pitching to use the "complex feelings" line. Given the fact that the prof is adjunct and my school has rules about freedom of speech or whatever i don't think they would have won in a confrontation about whether the subject matter was appropriate, so I think making it awkward and voicing their discomfort was probably the best thing they could have done. unfortunately the hp fan was so fucking out of touch they chose to ignore the fact that multiple people were visibly uncomfortable and insist on the project anyway. so
#ugh.#asks#it does kind of really suck sometimes being nonbinary im ngl. because i know i'll never have the privilege of being cis-passing enough#to get into a confrontation with someone like this without everyone immediately knowing that it's personal for me.#the they/them pronouns make you immediately clockable as trans no matter what. and people STILL do shit like this. ughhhhh whatever

We're learning about grouse hunting together!
I was really undecided on whether I wanted to hunt with Rory for realsies because I don't have a shotgun and I don't really care to get a shotgun (I have a gun license from my time up north). I have a small air rifle and a tactical slingshot (both legal for hunting small game in my area) so I've been taking those for walks in hunting areas, along with all my permits and stuff, just to see what we see.
This grouse woods is in the same corner as my swamp, just a different part of the rec area. You can legally hunt small game during the open season with dogs with some restrictions (certain distance from the parking, some trails close for hunting on a rotational basis for maintenance, etc.) but it's not terribly popular so it's a really good area to learn. We are looking for ruffed grouse and rabbit, both of which are super common out here.
With pointing dogs like britts, you generally don't want to shoot any game unless they're pointing steady (*except when doing gun conditioning, but that's a specific training set up) - it makes sense because a shot bird is the ultimate reward and you want to make sure you're reinforcing the behaviour you want, which is usually a safe steady point. Rory isn't pointing steady yet so there's really not much for me to do on these walks besides reinforce good manners (recall, how far she ranges, etc.).
There's a really well known saying in pointing dogs, which is wild birds make bird dogs. Wild birds flush (fly away) much more reliably than farmed birds so the chances of a dog catching a wild bird is really minimal compared to farmed birds. It's super important to get young bird dogs on wild birds as much as possible so they learn all the important skills: how to navigate terrain, what habitat holds birds, what each bird species smells like, how far they can range, and most importantly, that they need a person to actually get a bird.
(Most of these skills can be taught with planted birds in training, but planted birds may be more habituated to people and dogs so they might not flush reliably. Once pointing dogs learn that they can catch birds themselves, it's much harder to foster a strong stop and point. You might see people using these tip ups, which protect the training bird from the dog. You'll often see training dogs on long lines (called check cords) or with a flank collar to reinforce not getting too close to the bird, but you have to phase those out quickly so the dog doesn't become dependent on them. You also have to be really careful with scent trails when setting up planted birds or you might end up with a dog that follows your scent instead of looking for birds organically. And of course, you have to train without birds sometimes so the dog doesn't get discouraged about not finding birds quickly because sometimes there just aren't birds out there. Lots to consider when setting up training!)
Anyway I've been trying to get Rory out on wild birds as much as possible (with the caveat that we don't run wild birds during nesting season) so we're wandering the grouse woods lately. My early recall training is really paying off because she's been super reliable in terms of good manners, it's wonderful to see!
We've been out four times (1-2 hours each) so far since the season opened. The first two times we're mostly just a pleasant walk in the woods, Rory didn't really know what we were doing so she was just vibing (THIS IS TOTALLY FINE, SHE'S NEW TO THIS). We had a couple chance grouse encounters and I could see the wheels turning, I encouraged her to sniff around where the grouse were sitting before they flew off and I watched her start to connect the dots.
(It's important to remember that dogs don't know what they're looking for until you show them. Most bird dogs are naturally birdy, but they don't know which birds are good and which birds are boring! You have to show them which birds you care about - this is easiest if you can run with an experienced hunting dog, but you can do it alone like I am by making a big deal about any interest in the "correct" birds.)
The last time we went out to the grouse woods, she did a couple of really nice whip-arounds when she caught scent she liked and followed scent off the trail I was walking! This is the behaviour I want to see so it was awesome to watch it start to click! She trailed a moose (don't want that, she found some moose pee to roll in so whatever), a pileated woodpecker (again, don't want that but it was cool to see), and two separate grouse. The first was on the wrong side of the fence so I couldn't do anything about it but she held a really nice point (the photo) and I gave her a ton of chicken and praise for it. The second was a quick point but it flushed really far away so there was no finding it again. Both birds weren't visible when she found them, they were true scent points and she was strategically looking for them so that was super cool!
She's still in heat and super sensitive right now so I wouldn't shoot over her anyway, but I'm getting pretty accurate with my slingshot so I'm hoping we can connect on something this fall - both for her pointing steady and me aiming properly. She gets more steady and more sure of herself every time we go out so it's only a matter of time!
#rory borealis#about aurora#bird dog training#dogblr#this is a long one!#its pretty rambly about my thoughts about grouse hunting training so far#one real issue im having right now is how gear-sensitive rory is#she will happily wear a regular collar (or an ecollar - shes conditioned to wearing it but i dont use it on her yet)#but i cant put a bell or a belly protector on her without her freaking out#it makes her super shut down and upsetti and it sucks#ultimately its not a big deal because she ranges appropriately and i can have eyeballs on her at all times#but i would like her to wear an orange belly protector for these kinds of outings because its hard on her body#i have to revisit gear desensitization once shes done her heat#ive never had a dog that was this avoidant of gear tbh#on the note about gear:#rory has exceptional recall especially for a young bird dog#you'll notice im running her naked without an ecollar or gps collar#if youre following along and want to train your dog for grouse hunting PLEASE use appropriate gear for your dog#dont ruin the privilege of running dogs on public land by not having reliable control over your loose dog#i really dont gatekeep most of the areas i run my dog - i am so so happy to give local people recommendations on where to run#but please please please dont be the person who ruins it for us#i dont say this to be rude like live your dream#but consider the ethics and the privilege of having access to these areas and how easily they could be taken away#(sorry thats a rant but you get it)

He loves Jason on most days he's pretty confident that's it mutal.
Brothers and all that shit clearly something happened either Bruce being a bitch or whatever else can make him insecure. That still doesn't give Jason the right to hold a gun to his head and be a fucking prick.
"What are you gonna do now Tim-Tam still so trusting of your big brother."
Self Deprecating is not a good look on Jason Todd.
Now normally this is where Tim takes a step back softens his tone gives the I love you Jay, I know you wouldn't hurt me, we are past this.
Hey he has this down to a science.
Yet he doesn't feel like it appealing to his big brother by rolling over.
Instead he steps forward the gun cold against his forehead he already sees that Jay is unbalanced concern overtaking the anger that seems to linger in the Red Hood.
"I don't have to trust you," he knows that he is making Jason uncomfortable that he threw the entire situation into something different.
He grabs the gun taking his time disarming it.
"I could call Dick, he might kill you if I ask nicely enough or, I could yell for my super who has been listening since I let my heart race I don't have to fear you Jason."
Pushing him to the end of the roof which normally couldn't happen perks of being built like a fridge.
"I don't actually have to deal with you if I don't want to and putting you down would be so easy. Hold another gun to my head and it will be the last thing you do. I would love to see Outlaws versus Young Justice who do u think would win?"
He can't help the laughter as he walks away he does love his brother but he won't be a punching bag to a pissed off teenager who never got to read the end of Hamlet.
#tim drake#batfamily#jason todd#Tim has scary dog privilege Dick will kill for his baby brother and his entire team is ready to fight god in a dennys parking lot#Jason is scared#core four vs Outlaws who wins hint hint it ain't Jason#kon is a protective boyfriend#Bart is a protective bestie#Cassie doesn't let people touch her boys#RIP Jason sucks to suck#connor kent#bart allen#cassie sandsmark#dick grayson#batfam

Tim’s self-isolation in the beginning of Red Robin is actually so funny to me because it hardly works.
Tim @ most of his friends and family: nobody contact me. leave me alone. I’m busy. don’t try to stop me.
Tim @ Cass: hey, wanna stay in contact? :)
Tim when Chris Kent asks him for help: I’m actually not Robin anymore so saving people is not my job. Oh her life is in danger? …okay fine but then I’m going back to my thing.
Tim when Kon finds him: I’m busy…Oh you need help? okay…let’s have an accidental heartfelt talk and then we can help each other with our latest emotional crises.
Tim when Dick calls him: don’t call me…ohhh, that seems serious. fine I’ll come to Gotham but then I’m going right back to what I was doing. *finishes up what he was doing* okay I’m back, let’s team up.
Tim when someone he’s never met ends up as the League’s semi-hostage with him: Hey when we’re done do you wanna travel for business together & maybe go on a date?
#tim drake#batfam#ngl I think he kind of sucks at self isolating because he’s bad at resisting the urge to help people#helping people is his coping mechanism just as much as self isolation is and I’m being serious about that#but seriously the way tim tells everybody else not to call him & then when he goes to cass later he says he kept in touch with her. lmaoo#big sister privileges (…also though. is this partially bc of their time bonding in Blüdhaven after Jack died? both on their own again…)#I think this is something a lot of people kind of miss in this era. Tim likes people too much to actually isolate all the way…#red robin (2009)#cassandra cain#dick grayson#heroesriseandfall#bonds: a guardian angel#bonds: i knew it was you#kon el#tam fox

I’m hoping (I’m praying) that once the insecurities society has created for people—mainly women— becomes too much, the world will kind of reset and we’ll realize this is ridiculous and stop caring so much about appearance.
#like I hope the day will come that we all realize this is silly and it’s all bullshit and we just stop caring#and certain people need to stop influencing these insecurities because we just gained like 20 more in a span of 3 weeks#while I don’t think insecurities should even be a thing#they were more normal ones at first#but now it’s this ridiculously high standard that no one fucking fits#and the worst part is that if you don’t fit it you’re not even treated with basic human decency#if you’re not physically attractive people treat you like this object with no value#and it sucks#appearance should not matter this much#anyways#I had the urge to make this post bc I am so done with being told about some flaw somebody made up#maybe if we get lucky we can get men to stop ranking and rating girls based on how they look#body positive#I hope this reaches someone#insecurities#social media was our downfall#mysoginy#beauty standards#pretty privilege should not be a thing but it unfortunately s#pretty privilege#pjo#kotlc#fandoms#girlhood#but the downside of it#I should not be scared to eat and I’m tired of being so scared of gaining weight

Every time someone calls anti endos a hate group, I am reminded that there are places in the US I can not go because the KKK presence is a risk to my life.
#syscourse#I'm physically sick of people prentending these things are anywhere near comparable#yes online harassment sucks#no it's not some deep form of oppression that needs to be placed in the for front of focus#I'm sorry but comparing syscourse to every single social issues makes you look out of touch at best#legit gain perspective#step outside your own privileged perspective and see that other fucking things matter#i am physically sick of all of yall

i feel like there must be a way about talking about transmisogyny in trans spaces without making posts that act like every single trans person comes from a large liberal usamerican city
#'all trans men are treated like abc and given access to xyz' well. that may be true to your experience living in the gay part of new york#i saw one talking about some 'local queer community' that we all apparently have access to and are treated like perfect angels by#what local queer community? lol.#there are discrepancies in experiences in every trans experience due to transmisogyny but it's more complex than#one monolithic transmasculine experience and one monolithic transfeminine experience#i think your level of privilege is also defined by where you are geographically when it comes to transness but ofc usamericans#in states where you can go to planned parenthood don't want to talk about that one as much#like the uk sucks for trans people and my area in particular is horrible but at least it's legal here.

It’s hard to be a hater against someone who’s been dead for so long. I can’t bully Marie Louise off of twitter. Because of woke. And also because she’s been dead for like, a whole bunch of slutty slutty years.
#Marie Louise#seriously if we want to psychologically analyze me real quick#I think it’s just - while napoleon sucked and people were victimized under the ancient regime and during the terror and stuff#I think it’s just…the way people hate characters in a novel for being annoying more than they hate the genocidal maniac villain?#because a lot of us are privileged thank god to never have to speak in person to a genocidal villain#I’ve never spoken in person to a genocidal lunatic#but I do speak to bad parents all the time#so I just have an instinctual dislike that is waaaaay too personal for someone I’ve never even looked a#like Charlotte Corday it’s just a matter of I should never write about her professionally#because I am 100% biased and would 100% want to slug her in a Denny’s parking lot#which isn’t rational or balanced or scholarly

I think a lot of people's perception of "US centrism" on this site is "americans assuming us-specific problems are universal" but i've found it just as often if not more often manifests as the opposite. Usamericans thinking a problem people deal with worldwide (food deserts, late stage capitalism, bigotry) or a problem that did start primarily in the US but has been exported worldwide via cultural imperialism (this particular example is not the us but canada, but I sure did looooove having trucker protests in my country after they got 'inspired' by those in north america /s) are things only they have to deal with. I regularly get tags on this post that say something like 'blame the puritans for ruining american society' or will straight up go '#usa #fuck this country #i bet the rest of the world doesn't have this problem' I am from the Netherlands and have never set foot on the american continent.
#us centrism#anyone remember the post about how you benefit from living in the imperial core even if you are in other ways marginalized#and people were like 'um actually some people in the usa are POOR'#listen... being poor in the richest country in the world does in fact mean you still benefit from living in the world's richest country#your standards of living are higher than they would be if you were poor in countries still affected by colonialism and imperialism.#doesn't mean they're GOOD they're criminally bad and you deserve better but you do in fact still benefit from imperialism#and i say this as someone else living in the imperial core like no yeah i *absolutely* benefit from that.#but i KNOW that#europeans might contribute to this a bit bcs we do loooove to have a superiority complex about america even if it's undeserved#having better healthcare more trains and less guns does not make us problem free we suck#and have uhhh caused a significant amount of the problems on the other continents.#does mean we tend to be more aware of the privilege we have living here#but since europe is the only other continent usians know about some think 'murica is unique in having... bigots. or structural problems.

hey, a genuine plea from someone who used to love this space: please learn to treat artists & writers as human beings and not factories.
part of what drove me away was the absolutely constant push to be making new things. i’d post a piece of art or a comic or a fic and get tons of people asking for what was going to happen next, just more more more nonstop, and it was overwhelming and so discouraging. it didn’t matter how long the thing i’d just posted was, people just wanted more. when i went on my hiatus because i felt totally tapped out, i got asks & requests STILL asking me to make more things, telling what of my stuff they missed, keeping that pressure on, and it SUCKED. i couldn’t even rest on my break because of that and along with other huge problems in the community, it made me quit this place for good.
just, please learn some etiquette about how to engage with art and writing, please stop asking for more all the time. if you want something you need to either learn to make it yourself or put your money where your mouth is and pay for it. if artists or writers ask for requests then it’s okay to ask for things for free, but don’t assume that’s the case for every single creator out there. for the love of god don’t read someone’s fic and then say ‘what if you wrote this again, but with this different thing that i like more’, because you sound like an entitled child.
PLEASE remember we’re human beings with lives and other circumstances, we need to make money to live or we need to go to school or take care of ourselves and our families. we are more than the drawings or stories we create and if you treat us like factories, you’re just going to burn us out. we are not ‘content creators’. we are PEOPLE.
and hey! for any other creatives out there who feel this way, feel like your audience is draining you dry or a community isn’t treating you with the respect you deserve? there is nothing wrong with dropping that space and moving on to something else, something better. sometimes things can’t be fixed or reformed or shaped up. sometimes the rot is so deep that it’s not worth breaking your back trying to pull it out. If a space isn’t good for you, save your mental and physical health and leave. i’ve been in a much better place in almost every aspect of my life after getting out of this community. you don’t have to stick around if you don’t feel valued. anyone telling you otherwise is thinking more about themself than about you, so fuck ‘em.
#literally the you can leave skeleton meme you CAN leave and it is sometimes the best option!#lol i saw someone a while ago saying that you shouldn't leave a community just bc of bad behavior#that you should stick around and try to reform it. um. no!#that is a very privileged position to hold and especially rankles after a lot of people of color left bc of racist harrassment.#or like. a friend of mine who left bc her boundaries were repeatedly violated and ignored in favor of Popular Artist.#like. that's not something you fix by blocking people. that's something you Get Away from bc it's so deeply ingrained and normalized#like yeah in some situations you can shape the community you want to make by blocking assholes and cultivating a following of cool people#i did that and then i LEFT the broader community bc it SUCKS. and i am far happier with my little circle of friends.#you are not beholden to stick around and stew in a space that treats you badly. ever.

it’s fucking obnoxious how mras absolutely destroy the chance of discussing how misogyny harms men bc it does! they're not the main targets but it still happens and it’s genuinely a really fucked up part of the patriarchal system we're under that’s important to talk about and fight bc it hurts people! like, i found this video about like these two young men who were sexually abused by their mum and dad and eventually snapped and killed them (which, y’know, i cannot blame them for at all) but like this was ages ago and the prosecution basically argued that it was fine and didn’t effect them bc they were little boys. and that’s horrific! that’s the misogynistic idea that women are too weak to cause any harm and men are stronger and as such are less “irrational” getting these two people harsher sentences! because they believed that little boys being traumatised after being molested was ridiculous! even though misogyny is not Aimed at men, it Can hurt them severely. those men were made laughing stocks and sentenced to life in prison. but it wasn’t bc “women are the privileged ones” or whatever, it’s bc the courts could not imagine men being “weak”, bc to them abuse trauma was just, essentially, women being hysterical. and therefore, men having it was a duplicitous lie. and not speaking about how that happens harms women too! if abuse trauma is still seen as basically a silly woman thing then not only will male victims of abuse be mocked female ones will be infantilised at best or Also mocked at worst. bc that is the same mindset that leads to us mocking female victims of abuse!!! it’s the same thing and the same form of misogynistic thinking!!! you cannot eliminate one without the other!!! and the fact these things are not talked about much in the context of the misogyny they spring from is awful bc it means anyone who genuinely is trying to look into the issue in good faith is going to find weirdos blaming feminism and not, like, the patriarchal reasons. there used to be a lot more, and i get people started doing it less to decentre men and stuff, but nowadays all you find out when you look for it are people calling it feminist misandry and that’s not a good thing for people to find looking up a genuine issue!
#like. i very much get decentreing the oppressor in discussions on bigotry#it should not be central#but it still is like#important?#bc a huge part of how hate movements recruit is by taking how the privileged group is still harmed under oppression#and using that to say feminism or gay people or whatever are the problem#should we have to counter that? no it’s stupid but it’s happening and it’s being used to indoctrinate people who genuinely don’t know bette#like. we also do need to have good resources for people starting out#not everyone knows what feminism actually is#if the only explanation a layman gets is from a bigot they don’t have any other knowledge#it sucks having to repeat he small things. but it’s necesarry

One of the most bonkers fandom takes
Is that Sir Phillip will teach Eloise an important lesson about how hard the world is....on titled landed men.
Ah yes, the true victims of Regency society. Not the working class who were oppressed and exploited. Not the women who couldn't vote or own their own property or their own bodies after marriage. No, no, it's titled upper class men with massive fortunes and estates.
Poor Phillip.
The greatest victims of the patriarchy really are those poor, oppressed baronets.
#Bridgerton#Eloise Bridgerton#really effing seriously#you want Eloise to learn a lesson about privilege....from Phillip????#god you people just really suck don't you#anti Philoise

The hell's up with all these anti-trans men/masc memes lately because I'm getting real sick of it real quick. It's not cute and it was never funny.
#textpost#This site's always been weird about trans men and it feels like it's gotten significantly worse lately#It's bad enough trans men are constantly belittled by the rest of the LGBT community I don't need to see that shit on here too#'Why would anyone ever want to be a man' is one I've been seeing a lot. Think before saying something that stupid#I've been wanting to make a post about this for a while now but haven't because I feel like it's swinging a bat at a hornet's nest#Which in itself is completely stupid. I shouldn't feel like that addressing these issues yet here we are#Damn near every single time I've seen a trans man on here mention that maybe we're being treated unfairly they get laughed at#Or told to suck it up or that we've got 'cis male privilege' or something. Do these people forget that we're TRANS??#I WISH the government saw me as a cis man but they don't#This is NOT a trans men vs trans women suffering olympics thing like some people seem determined to make it out to be#Every trans identity and trans person is affected by transphobic laws and people. We're in this shit together#And belittling trans men and ignoring us when we speak up about issues will only drive a wedge in the trans community#When we're divided we're weaker and that's how the transphobes get what they want#Anyway I'm sick of anti-trans men memes.
