The funniest part of this reply is not that it was on a completely innocuous post...
The funniest part is that it was on an innocuous post about Amok Time, an episode which canonically, as a major plot point, makes Star Trek characters roll around in the dirt.
Sir, take this up with Theodore Sturgeon, I was not involved in this decision
#star trek#star trek tos#spock#jim kirk#amok time#leonard mccoy#captain kirk#bones mccoy#theodore sturgeon#i'm counting bones because he also gets his knees dirty#cw homophobia#is this person a dry cleaner who despairs for the state of starfleet pants#well they're blocked now because I gave them three chances to try for a positive interaction#and instead they got worse#Ah yes#they also suggested instead of aos that we get a series about refitting the Enterprise with a secondary hull#or a universe where the borg have conquered everything

Slowly realizing that I was taught twice as much about the bubonic plague than I was about the shoah. I feel like that's telling. We never learned anything about the shoah specifically, just that the axis and allied powers existed, that Pearl Harbor happened, and we won. Because those are, apparently, the only important parts of WWII
#jumblr#jewish politics#jewish history#personal thoughts tag#antisemitism tw#shoah tw#shoah mention tw#i knew that the black plague killed ~33% of europe but not that the shoah killed over 50% of jews in europe. what's up with that.#i only 'discovered' and learned about this outside of school. one of the largest genocides in WORLD history? we don't need to teach that! 🫥#and i took MANY kinds of history classes in my (public) school. they were honors classes too! world history classes!!!!!!#i only took a class specific to the US three times (once for general US history then twice for state history classes)#wait! we did read one short story by elie wiesel in my AP english class. in my senior year of high school.#i can't specifically remember which story it was :/ it absolutely wasn't Night besause i read that on my own#no this isn't me saying that we shouldn't have learned about the plague - it was a horrific time period. but so was the shoah

Is it true that Elizabeth of York birth celebrated like she was a son? I have seen some historians say this.
Hi! Yes, Edward IV did celebrate his daughter’s birth as though she was a male heir (“a prince”), iirc as per the Great Chronicle.
While we have no contemporary reports at the time of Elizabeth of York's birth, we know that Luchino Dallaghiexia reported that the birth of Edward and Elizabeth's third child, Cecily of York, "rejoiced the king and all the nobles exceedingly*, though they would have preferred a son'. Wanting a son (ie: an heir) was typical for their time period, likely enhanced by Edward and Elizabeth's unprecedentedly controversial marriage, her very unsuitable origins and his own status as a usurper. The fact that he was described as being "exceedingly" delighted at the birth of his third daughter in a row regardless does support the claim that he would have gone over-the-top to celebrate the birth of his first legitimate** child.
Hope this helps!
*Bizarrely, I have seen several historians and blogs using Dallaghiexia's letter to claim that he was bitterly disappointed at Cecily of York's birth. I don't understand how historical reading comprehension can be so poor that "rejoiced the king exceedingly" has somehow been rewritten as the...exact opposite of that. With no self-awareness whatsoever. **His illegitimate daughter Margaret (known as Elizabeth for some reason) was almost definitely born before his marriage. We don't know the birth dates of his other two illegitimate children: I think the likeliest conception date for Arthur was in early 1470, but it's unverified; and we know nothing about Grace (which was in fact her surname, not her name) other than the fact that Elizabeth Woodville seems to have been very attached to her.
#ask#elizabeth of york#edward iv#queue#speaking of which#did I mention how much I dislike historians who state that one of Elizabeth Woodville's 'advantages' was that 'she was fertile'#and just leave it at that?#or dumbfuck Anne Boleyn stans who argue Elizabeth was 'safe' because she had a son (she was literally deposed twice but okay)#That is simply incorrect and a complete erasure of her actual - presumably difficult - experiences#Elizabeth literally 'failed' (so to speak) to have a son throughout her first queenship#She had three daughters back-to-back#Her first son with Edward IV was in fact born seven years into her marriage after her husband had already been deposed and in exile#It does her an incredibly disservice to rewrite her very complicated situation according to your own whims and fancies#Particularly considering the very unusual nature of her marriage and rise to queen (+Edward's own status as an usurper)#which meant that Elizabeth - like H8's wives after her - was in a far more precarious position than sonless foreign royal queens before her#And while the lack of a son clearly didn't affect her personal marriage (her husband celebrated their eldest daughter's birth#as though she was a male heir and was described as exceedingly happy at the time of their third daughter's birth;#they decided to go on a pilgrimage - presumably to ask for a son - *together*; etc)#That doesn't change the fact that they were in a very very difficult situation that having a son could have resolved/legitimized#Worries that may have intensified even more after 1469 when George of Clarence (second York brother) rebelled against Edward#I also suspect their lack of a son affected the nature of Warwick's propaganda against them during his rebellions#but that's a whole other topic of discussion#Either way: What we should never do is erase and rewrite Elizabeth's (and Edward's) very complex situation in the 1460s#in favor of an inaccurate but more 'convenient' alternate history#It's a little odd tbh because I HAVE seen such discussions for Anne of Bohemia; MoA; and Henry VIII's wives#who all struggled to have male heirs#But for some reason Elizabeth's situation is not even acknowledged - let alone discussed#funny how that happens#anyway#ik I went VERY off track I'm sorry about that

and while i’m on the topic, it’s insane how much time the reunion spent belaboring how hard it has been for sam since the show has been airing and like. respectfully. this is not a case of a bad edit. this is just natural consequences. this is cause and effect. if you behave like a piece of shit, people are going to treat you like a piece of shit. if you go on a fucking netflix show and behave like a piece of shit on an international stage, soooooooo many people are going to know what a piece of shit you are and all of those people will respond to you accordingly. like, are people right to be cyber bullying him? maybe not. but did he invite this? absolutely. don’t try to get me to feel bad for the man. i’m not going to feel bad for him.
#love is blind uk#also the fact that he stated unequivocally on the reunion i’m not a bad person when he was supposed to be apologizing???#number one who are you trying to convince us or yourself#number two hey buddy i see what your priorities are here. i see what message you want the audience to take away#number three just like i’m not gonna trust anyone who has to explicitly tell me to trust them#i am also not going to believe someone is not a bad person just because they’ve announced as much#no accountability. just talking points#the absolute lack of self awareness is entirely baffling#i want someone to drop kick him into a dumpster#love is blind uk reunion

La natura sta sguarendo and I'm channeling the frantic pacing into drawing
#[.art]#listen. I don't dabble in fandom all that much aside from posting art and discussions with the same three people#so I don't know the state of the les mis fandom. I don't know you freaks (neutral) I don't know what you get up to. I've been told it's mad#but I do want to organise my blog so this is getting maintagged#les misérables#javert#second disclaimer is I also don't know what the... standard interpretation for this guy is. I just searched how he's described in the book#as that seemed like the most reasonable source? I do know one (1) person in the actual fandom. kind of. but I am not asking#my point is I like javert

#hello little stars#i've missed you so#wee update on me: i'm actually doing quite well at the moment#things were a little iffy there for a minute but i'm in a very healthy mental space right now#i feel more like myself than i have in a long time#which is a very welcome thing#unfortunately during the process of obtaining said healthy mental state my shameless hyperfixation abruptly broke into pieces#it isn't that i don't still have love for the show - i do - i just don't feel consumed by it anymore#it doesn't occupy the same space in my brain that it once did#instead that space has been opened up to new interests and ideas and hobbies and yes even the occasional new blorbo#and i will not lie to y'all - it feels good#as to the future of this account i think it's going to become less of a fandom blog and more of a whatever-i-feel-like-posting blog#a scrapbook of my interests where i put stickers of shows and movies i like on the page and scribble my most incoherent thoughts#a personal blog if you will#i'm very grateful for the last three years of my life and all the things + people this show brought to me#but it just isn't IT for me anymore - y'know?#anyway#if you've read this far - i love you#i've missed you#come say hi#i promise i don't bite#also a URL change will probably be coming in the near future so if you're like um who the HELL is that?! it's probably me#blessed be my babies#ily very much

mentors! teachers! librarians! old ladies you see at the grocery or the knitting shop once in a while! middle aged men who are regulars at the same hardware store! the teenagers who come to the local game shops board game events and THEIR little siblings!
do you believe you dont share common humanity with any of these people?????
or do you have bizarre ideas gatekeeping the "sanctity" of friendship limiting it to only people you could have gone to high school with???
"what do a 19 and a 28 year old even have in common"
WE ARE ON THIS BIG BEAUTIFUL BLUE EARTH AT THE SAME TIME, ENJOYING THE GLORIOUS EXPERIMENT THAT IS HUMANITY, GOOD SIR!!!!!
this isnt even about dating-- like fuck no you couldnt PAY me to date someone in their early twenties NOW!!! but this is how we're being about FRIENDSHIP??????
#when i was fifteen and Going Through It bc i was a Fifteen Year Old Lesbian (though i didnt KNOW that last bit)#one of my truest friendships was with the thirty five year old mother of three at church#she was the mia maids counselor in YW and she is STILL one of the coolest and most charismatic people i know#though we lost touch when their family moved out of state#her oldest is a hs senior now!! im so proud!! but to Me she's still going to be four years old forever#like. when i am Friends with a significantly younger person its not the Same as Friends with age peer#older friends tend to give more to younger friends than they take and vice versa. you dont burden a teenager with the messy details#but you listen to theirs! you give them perspective and a shoulder to cry on and they give you perspective and hope for their bright future#god.#as an Autist who really struggled getting along with my peers as a teenager i was often#relegated to babysitting (which i loved!) bc i Get kids theyre much more straightforward#or to being The Good Kid hanging at the adult table bc i was polite and thought i was So clever#i would not be Me without community#and community is just a web of people supporting each other#what is friendship if not that?

just burst into tears in a post office and immediately the entire world opened up to me. easy criers must have the best lives what the fuck. i should stop taking my prozac Immediately.
#remembered that post advice like 'if youre dealing with a difficult person the best thing you can do is cry' and let it rip#trying to get my passport application filed. she was like you're supposed to do this in your home state#maam i cant file this in new hampshire#okay i need your social security card#maam they told me at the other post office my medical insurance counted as a 2nd form of id so i have all the cards and photocopies-#nope that's not right. the state department doesn't care about that#oh i guess i can't do it today then#she looked at me like i was an idiot. you dont have your social security card with you??#'n... no?? i keep it safe??' 'Really.' and then i burst into tears.#and then she was immediately like oh no baby just go home and get it here you have all your other docs and your application perfect#no honey you're Fine just come back before three and i'll process it. okay??#lord i am having a Day.#home i go. war is hell.

A collection of things I’ve screamed into the void with mild hope that the void would scream back (it did. on several of these)
I am so sorry but every single word uttered here is canon to YLS’s already insane lore. yes even the one about Jack Skellington. yes even the one about Dimentio. yes even the one that ties into MSM/TBoCI. yes ESPECIALLY the one about Captain Barnacles.
#alsooo the world talked about in the second one is about my friend’s story :)#thats a thing too. its pretty great actually but you cant find it online yet :(#hershel’s octonauts au#sighs. yeah okay for the shits and giggles i’ll tag those characters#jack skellington#dimentio#the ballad of cold island#captain barnacles#real talk i miss kane rn.. i need to. like. redesign every tboci character ever#i wanna include them in yls somehow but in their current states HAHHAHAH no#i knoowwwww i shouldn’t but uuuuaaauuuuuauuuuagh. they’re such good characters#they’re just trapped rn…… sighs#ANYWAAYYYS silon’s uncontrollable therapist rizz is the funniest part of yls canon#it’s BECAUSE of his uncontrollable therapist rizz that rosemary has two siblings#and that her dad’s becoming a better person#and that barnacles has contact with boogie at all#and that. checks notes. jack skellington almost adopted three total children#i feel like a lot of the weird side things wouldn’t have happened if#silon and arbre mort didn’t get together that one time#obviously the MAIN PLOT would have still happened. looks at professor inkling and his amnesiac boyfriend.#but viktor would have never been kidnapped. boogie would have never gotten onto the new red crab.#and funniest of all JESTER YAOI WOULD HAVE BEEN CANON. WE WERE ROBBED /hj#i’m funniest on discord#subtle advert for the server. hahahahaha.#OKAY POST THE DAMN THING

using the tags to vent my current emotional state into the void bc ig story feels like a bad plan for this, read at your own risk.
#but jesus christ coming back home while already knee deep in a suicidal episode was an awful idea#like i was maybe on the verge of improving and then i came back to all of this family bullshit#and the place as well like it’s so. i don’t want to say isolated necessarily. but so much it’s own little bubble#and i spent the last eight or nine years i lived here depressed and the last six suicidal#and being back here feels like the actual place is telling me to die#and i don’t think it helps that every place i go i know or know of someone who successfully committed suicide#like. oh this person drowned themself here. or that person hung themself in these woods. or several people jumped off the side of this clif#like. it all feels like reminders of my failures. and it’s like. cmon. wouldn’t it be easy. all you need to do is jump. is slit your throat#is find a decent piece of rope. idk. but everything is so much and i just want it to stop and it feels like the ground itself#is giving me a way to do it.#i genuinely feel like i’m like 16 or 17 again. and everything that isn’t within these hills#feels like a haze and not actually real. like the concept of buxton doesn’t actually exist and my friends do not actually exist and nothing#actually exists except the place i’m in and my family and the pub#i think going back to work at the pub was a mistake; i think it’s making this worse. especially because it’s henry’s dad’s local#and where henry’s wake was. and nothing there has changed at all. it’s like the whole last year never happened.#and i only need to get through two more days but it feels like an impossible task and i keep thinking being back in york will fix me but id#if that even true like. i was suicidal before i left. and it’s going to be intense and stressful and then i have to leave again.#come back here and do three full weeks of this all over again. i haven’t even managed two yet this time around. and i feel like#such a failure and such a drain on my friends (and on one in particular) because it just#is so much and has been so long and everything is complicated and awful and i think if i hadn’t come back i’d be in a normal mental state#by now. that’s the worst fucking part. and also the whole thing of i know how to be suicidal here. i know how to not give a shit about#living here. i know how to do that. but ive never had to try before. like im trying to improve and im trying to hold on and hold off the#urges to kill myself or self harm or whatever because i said i would and because i KNOW it can be better than this and bc i love my friends#and they love me and i don’t want to upset them or make them anxious or anything like that and kat made me promise to try and im trying so#fucking hard and it feels like it’s not even worth the effort because it’s so much effort and everything is so overwhelming and awful and i#hate the way my family interacts and i just want everything to stop and idc if suicide is the cowards way out or selfish or whatever#bullshit people say it feels like the only option i can actually withstand because everything is so much pain and so much effort and so muc#everything and i can’t deal with it anymore. and also i forgot just how much i have to fucking mask in front of my parents and especially m#father and it’s so exhausting and i can’t sleep and there’s so much yelling and i just need it all to stop#i’ve had major breakdowns the last 3 nights about wanting to die so much & trying so hard to not let myself & idk how much longer i can tak

if i see another till is alive post on ao3 i don't know what i'll do but it'll be on the news
#like holy shit#not to be the fun police but. if you want to cope do it somewhere else#you're just clogging up the tag w unnecessary bullshit#nobody fucking wants it there nobody finds it amusing#it was cute the first few times now its just fucking annoying#no effort but pointlessly bumping up the word count and bringing noise to the site#especially when its for fanworks#not fan copy and paste of the same three words over and over again until you reach 99k#alnst#the state of creativity in the fandom (on ao3 at least) is another dismal sight#if y'all could use some brain! and maybe see past the romance to examine the message conveyed! and the symbolism!!#istg if i see another person captions luka's allusion to s/a with 'omg hes so hot' im burning something

i love that the indian american dating experience is exactly replicated and reproduced even when dating gay women like this is actually insane
#like its still that serious it doesnt matter if both of you are out you're still like#doing the gay equivalent of saving a guys name in your phone as a girl in high school.....we all had a rahul -> radhika moment or smth#i can admit that this isnt healthy maybe but if a brown person likes me on a dating app the first thing im doing is typing their first name#into instagram bc if they grew up within TWO STATES of me i know im no more than three people removed from them#or their exes or their friends or their brothers or their aunties like i know#and its been like this with the last three brown people ive dated#some in worse degrees but still

At this point when I see an absolutely shit take on a "discourse" topic and I go to block someone for it, I just get so unsurprised when I see "tme/tma" in their bio
#Jean mumbles#Reading comprehension skill questions:#Is OP staring/implying that using these acronyms makes you dumb?#What pattern is OP attempting to state when bringing this up?#Did OP personally crawl into your DMs and call you derogatory terms for using this acronym?#APA formatting with at least three credible sources
