Hannah Snell, my hero
#I don’t wanna just Go Off on main about her#but oh my god she’s so fascinating!#I am a little miffed that the only written work about her wasn’t written BY her#so there may be a little publication bias and of course things she wouldn’t have told them about#just the everything#from warning her lady friend about her CO’s intentions and getting flogged 600 TIMES - they only made it to 500 before intervention#and said lady friend helping her desert the army so she goes and joins the navy as a marine#and at one point the sailors are committed to calling her a woman she just goes off and says ‘I will give you VISUAL PROOF I ain’t a woman’#the BALLS this woman had#and then she just becomes one of the guys#and she gets ENGAGED to a young woman while in England#saying she’ll marry her once she returns from Lisbon. obv she DIDNT but I can’t find a SOLID good reason why she did that?#it’s not like it was a very public thing - so why Hannah WHY#and when she hears her abusive husband was executed for murder she’s just ‘All is right with the world FUCK that guy’#but she continues living as a man for WAY long after that?! she didn’t join the army for her husband either so!#she’s just fascinating#I’m currently reaching out to a bunch of museums archives in Wapping to see if I can get any other information not in her account#(because I may or may not be writing a book about her)#((or a stage play because I love script writing))#age of sail#hannah snell#I’m reading a bunch of other accounts of women at sea and in the army and JESUS Christ!#idek how they got away with it so long absolutely in love with them#I also think it’s really easy to deify historical figures (coughNelsoncough) so that’s why I’m really trying to get access to journals and#diaries by her crew mates her family - anyone who knew her and just gather all these viewpoints#coz like I said! she didn’t write her story herself. she TOLD it to a publisher who swears he changed nothing#but let’s be real. also I’m just kinda cynical about non-primary sources

When a fic turns Cas (sometimes dean ig) to a woman and makes the ship straight: 😞
When a fic turns them both into women and makes them lesbians: 🥰😇😍🤩

i have no clue what's going on w/ the hiring process for the job offer i got yesterday, but at least it seems like nobody at the post office does either. 🙃
#ctxt#charlie vs mail#got a call from some guy at the regional sorting facility like 'uuh yeah just drop in to your PO whenever for fingerprinting'#so i show up in shorts & a t-shirt as a stop along a multi-errand trip bc my impression was that this is just a part of the background check#woman doing my prints was like 'idk if anyone's here to speak with you today but we can check'#me still thinkin it's just a casual meet/greet 'oh no worries haha! btw i got the job offer before having even 1 interview is that normal?'#she doesn't know but leads me around until we find someone buried under a stack of paperwork at her desk#'hi [redacted!] charlie is here for their interview!'#redacted peers over his monitor like a deer in headlights 'who is here for their what now??? oh uuuhh gimme a minute uuuhhhhh'#i'm sweatinnnmng like i'm wearing my birks i am massively underprepared but ok i guess we're doing this & they already offered me the job so#redacted also seemed to be panicking a lil bc the person who usually does these interviews isn't even in today#we had a moment of 'so we're both utterly blindsided here right?' 'yeah can we reschedule?' 'yes god please let's reschedule'#so i'm going back thursday for an actual interview. after already completing background check & filling out tax paperwork#get home to an email from the dude who called me this morning like 'btw dress business casual for your fingerprinting & bring XYZ'#but still stating nowhere that the implication was that fingerprinting & interview would happen concurrently????#this is a federal institution & the second largest employer in the US. get ur shit together !!!#hoping it's not gonna be a black mark that i showed up in my casual summer clothes without the necessary docs#but tbf to me the expectations were hella unclear like i wasn't even given a point of contact for an onboarding supervisor until today#since they were also drastically underprepared i hope it'll just be water under the bridge & we can properly meet thursday#hands down weirdest hiring/onboarding process i've ever gone through but fuck it we ball

I think one thing the Hannibal TV adaptation missed out on, is the reactions of anyone who ate at hannibal's table and unknowingly ate human flesh. I know its played off as a comedy or a quick moment of "oh eww" and that IS funny (or its a sexy foreplay thing hannibal and will do lol). But really IMAGINE the sheer horror of say, being invited to a fancy dinner for whatever reason and having a nice meal with polite company then finding out years later that it was HUMAN?? and that you've been an unknowing cannibal for years??? Tell me that wouldn't fuck with your head. Knowing you ATE a guy whose name and face you now know. That it tasted like fancy party food, prepared well. hmmmm.

A lot of “behind the scenes” stuff really colored fandom sentiment towards certain characters, Winn is hit hardest because the actor said some pretty off key stuff during one of the cons (Mon els actor too) so it’s pretty clear that’s the reason, because let’s call a spade a spade, Alex was way more “problematic” than anyone could ever claim Winn to be (which was not very). But in general “ship wars” (rolling my eyes real hard here) always bring out the most unreasonable in people so…
yeah i remember everybody talking about that comic con situation like it was some enormously traumatic incident and i was like damn jeremy jordan must have spit in our faces and called us dykes!
and then i watched the video and was like lol. wait this is The Unspeakable Incident????
meanwhile that one girl was getting a cease and desist letter from melissa’s legal team for calling her homophobic because she laughed at the joke like good LORD was it wild times

some random asshole on youtube had the brilliant idea to comment "i hate gokū's voice in japanese, it's ridiculous and i can't take him seriously, he sounds like an angry grandma, why did they decide to have him voiced by a fucking woman?" and got attacked by the biggest online army of female dragon ball fans collectively telling him to shut up and fuck off because masako nozawa is the best and he's just a random dumbass. that was beautiful.

oh my god re: your recent post... the 'girl dinner' shit. omfg. idc if it's 'not that deep' you're still reinforcing terrible shit!!! and also the like 'boys when they see a stick/cool rock' and 'girls when they time travel vs boys when they time travel' wojaks. the gender-fication of barbie vs. oppenheimer. why the fuck is the recent internet zeitgeist hyper stereotypical cisnormativity. like. i thought we had collectively outgrown this.
exactly. And that’s all just some parts of it too. People pretend they’re so on top of things but it’s just because they don’t want to seem out of touch and offensive. It’s wild watching people barf out gender binaries with new terms and new ways to categorize trans people as not their gender and new ways to reinforce the same gender roles on ourselves but in “good” ways now. It’s just….really frustrating and pretty terrifying at the same time
#asked and answered#anon#I don’t know bad example but like.#feminism when I was growing up was gender equality#getting rid of gender roles and stopping gender based discrimination#and it feels like at some point we lost that track#and went straight from that to Girls Rule Boys Drool arguments wrapped in new language and memes#like. when i was a kid#i remember people saying shit about how its okay if a woman asks for a date first or if a woman proposes instead of a man#and yes those arent the most progressive things in the world and those actions are not the most important thing women need to be allowed to#do. but…thats kind of my point. those arent groundbreaking actions.#and if you tried to spoonfeed a BASIC idea about destroying gender roles like that to the online community today#youd get slammed with people saying no woman should ever stoop to beg a man#or that a guy should always propose because dating a woman is a privilege so men should earn it#or how ‘maybe its just me personally but i could never propose to a man like ew thats cringe my man better have enough balls to do it!’#or ‘me personally i could never let my girl propose id feel like i failed her as a man if she had to do that’#or just. on and on and on and on and on#like. we somehow circled all the way back to the ORIGINAL gender roles we were supposed to have broken by now#and its getting worse snd the social media companies are fueling it#have you SEEN instagram and tik tok comment sections lately???#people are just. insanely obsessed over gender and enforcing how they see each group and constantly posting about it online#go outside smell some fucking flowers and recognize your internal biases#like maybe breaking gender roles like thst iis uncomfortable not because you hate men#but because you have gender roles engrained in your BEING from the moment you could walk and you just wrapped them up with a new progressive#bow while not making any changes#anyways.#rant over

Is Kori such a good antidote for Dick's Daddy Issues because she herself has Daddy energy? Or does she in fact have Mommy energy and that's how she keeps him from backsliding?

the flash should have ended with barry quitting his job at ccpd to become a stay-at-home husband and that's on that
#the fun part is it genuinely could have ended like that. i have no idea. still haven't watched it#NOBODY TELL ME BTW#THAT IS NOT ME ASKING FOR SPOILERS. I'LL GET TO IT#but honestly it's the only thing that makes sense. i have genuine reasons for this#namely: how the fuck is iris. an incredible but ordinary non-speedster woman. meant to look after a baby speedster#ordinary babies are already making it their life's mission to die. eating shit they shouldn't. rolling over and suffocating.#idk i don't know about kids but i know babies are breakable and will roll off tables and god knows what else#now imagine you have a toddler and she can literally move at hundreds of miles per hour#how the fuck was iris meant to cope?#i still maintain that when they did the 'she put a power dampener in nora' plot it should have been like. not a control thing#but also yeah. literally a control thing because HOW THE FUCK ELSE WAS SHE MEANT TO LOOK AFTER HER BABY#if barry is gone and she's a single mother. assuming no other speedsters are around to help her. what the fuck else was she meant to do?#of course she had to suppress her powers because how can you stop your toddler running into traffic if she can run 1000 times faster than u#how do you keep her in her crib at night if she can phase through the bars?#in that sense. yeah it's fucked up. but you can understand it. you can empathize. what other options did she have?#so yeah stay-at-home dad barry is the only thing that makes sense for genuine safety reasons#he is quite literally the only one who can keep up with the kids#they dropped the ball on nora is all i'm saying. again. fic that lives in my head where original nora's death actually means something#and we get a new nora who is ACTUALLY a different person. as she would be considering her whole upbringing was different#and she has to somehow live up to the memory of a version of her that was erased from time#part of barry and iris can't accept that that specific version of their daughter is gone and it's not her#THE ANGST POTENTIALLLL#in my head she doesn't even go by nora because she's like. THAT'S NOT ME. SHE DIED. WHY CAN'T YOU ACCEPT WHO I AM AND LOVE ME FOR ME#she goes by dawn bc yeah im still kinda sad they didnt use that name#fictional characters give ur kid an original name instead of always naming them after dead ppl challenge#my fics#my meta

I think what makes the most sense is if Aylin has extremely short hair for a long time post-canon, almost shaved if not shaved at times, and then eventually grows it out again. Short hair is just easier to manage when she's already struggling and overwhelmed and adjusting to life after a century of torment. She's also trying to reclaim some power over the trauma of it being cut against her will by essentially revisiting what happened except now she's in control, she's holding the shears. As well as ensuring no one can ever take her hair from her again. She's cutting it off and burning it; there's nothing for them to take. It's an imperfect way of coping, but honestly show me a perfect one.
It's a long time — I'm talking years — before she decides to grow it out again. It's part of an attempt to move beyond what's been done to her, to rediscover how she wants to look not how she thinks it's safe to look. It's another way of reclaiming autonomy and power over herself, wearing her crown of hair in spite of those who would take it from her. It's also done in memory of the people, especially the women, she loved in her past. Erlona, the Four Moons, the priestesses in the temple — hair care was a shared ritual. Even Meadowlin brushed and braided her hair. She struggles a lot with physical touch after being freed, and she's hard on herself about that; she used to be so free with it. She used to fear nothing. But, it starts with trusting Isobel to help with her hair and slowly grows to trusting other people. She has a community again; she has family and friends again; she can trust and be safe and be loved.
Maybe there will be periods where she cuts it again and grows it out and shaves half and styles it a different way and dyes it. Ultimately, it's not about the hair. It's not about beauty or even femininity. It's about what the hair means to her. Having control over her own body and how she presents it. Having a connection to the community, to the people, that were her home. Carrying those rituals of intimacy forward into new relationships, feeling safe and loved again.
