illario as the grandchild that is most like caterina is something i'm loving to chew on. the grandson that took her lessons to heart the most. kill anyone who sees your face and knows your name, "we are not revolutionaries", the first out of the two to prioritise the contract. power at any cost, and the only one to lean into the unnecessary abuse that their grandmother told them was tradition. why is anyone surprised he allied with the venatori? and then there's illario's considerable skill in infiltration and manipulating any mark, he has always had the charisma that lucanis lacked. illario isn't attached, he has/can/will use someone and immediately drop them; "that does free me from promises i don't intend to keep". he can lie about how much he cares so well that he fools a magister into believing he loves her. he kills zara without hesitation to cover his own tracks, meanwhile lucanis blindly promises a young girl in the middle of a siege that he will help her find her father. even the lessons about family stick with him, and in this entire messy power struggle, he never actually orders anyone to directly kill caterina or lucanis, not until he's backed into a corner.

and even after all that. despite even lucanis believing illario should be first talon, lucanis is still the better killer. illario is not strong enough to be the brutal assassin caterina needs him to be. so when lucanis seems to fill the role his mother left, grief and love for her dead heir apparent remains, and any of the other qualities caterina needs in her next talon doesn't matter. whatever his mother was, lucanis has to be. what illario does doesn't matter, because he will always be second best to caterina's memory of her favored daughter.

I think we as a fandom deserve at least a snippet of Xaden's POV from Iron Flame when he finds out that Violet is being tortured by Varrish.

it really does seem like a lot of y'all don't want to dismantle the patriarchy so much as expand the definition of man.

and i'm sympathetic to "anyone can be a man" i really am (i am sort of man adjacent on occasion myself) but that's a personal goal not a liberatory one!!

"a woman can be a man if she wants" well what if she doesn't want? what if she would like to be a woman and only a woman AND receive equal rights? what if she would like to be a woman and not have her womanhood considered lesser by society? what if womanhood itself and everything associated wasn't considered definitionally inferior???? what if!

this goes double for trans women who might, i dunno, have a vested and emotional interest in not being considered a type of man. and perhaps might want to celebrate their hard-earned womanhood.

Sokka: Wait. If Zuko is actually a Fire Nation prince, and Iroh wrote Suki into the family registry as his sister... am I marrying into Fire Nation royalty?

Zuko: Yep.

Suki: Pretty sure.

Sokka: ...okay wait, hang on. Am I a Fire Nation prince?

Zuko: Yeah, pretty sure that's how it works.

Sokka: ....excuse me. I have to go get Katara to call me Prince Sokka.

Suki, after Sokka runs off: So, you think she'll do it?

Zuko: No chance.

Love a strong, beautiful and skilled female ml who can look after herself and outshines other male ml's. Her story is so well portrayed that you cant help but fall in love with her.

Definitely had one of those "being a woman in medical leadership" moments yesterday where I was called out for being too direct and aggressive for writing a pretty dispassionate email where I essentially said I wasn't going to cover for mistakes that my leadership made. Cherry on top was that this feedback was from a woman, who didn't have the balls to deliver it to me directly and instead had another woman serve as the go-between, because she felt like she was called out by me.

So I spent all of therapy today just ranting about my leadership and the lack of support that I feel from them and how I can't actually trust those people or be open with them about my feelings at work. That was a swift kick to the gut yesterday.

But I'm sure if I was a man I would have been told that I was being assertive and practicing good leadership skills.

just read this email from my boss and it’s like bitch do you think WE haven’t notice the spike in behaviour issues? Do you think we’re going to read this and be like oh shit yeah maybe we should like. Actually give consequences for bad behaviour huh, I didn’t think of that.

Did you consider that the spike in behaviour is because it’s the end of the year and getting hot and the kids are exhausted and also every single one of the teachers is exhausted because every single team has been a teacher down for at least a week and we’re all teaching a class and a half so even though we’re doing our fucking best, we can’t keep up?

and then it’s followed by some stuff for us to “action by the end of today” and the stuff to action is literally just “print off the behaviour consequence flowchart and remember to implement consequences :)”

this is not very feminist of me to say but that argument about "ummm what if the Woman President is on her period and randomly declares war 🧐🧐🧐" is actually so real. if I could have someone's head cut off rn I would do it with zero hesitation

so bangladesh's policing system is broken and by broken i mean the public set fire to a few police stations on the day hasina fled and no cops have come to work since. literally all of them are in hiding. basically the students amd neighborhood youth have stepped up to control traffic and set up nightly watches to get rid of robbers and protect minority religious institutions etc. which. mixed feelings. first of all it's great to see that a police free society is possible. we're literally doing it right now!! but at the same time, there's no accountability anywhere to be seen. like. people have been keeping eachother in check for the most part. but "robbers" have rights to and thats almost totally forfeit. most of the times, rhe stolen goods are returned, and robbers publicly humiliated is all. i cant say im against this because these robbers are most of the time backed by bnp or jamat, so they're let go. but there is no due process. what I want to say is basically i can totally see a system without cops is possible, but a system is also necessary. the interrim government doesn't have any plans to abolish cops tho and the cops will probably return eventually. but someday. hopefully. someday a police-less society will be possible

Weird thought but. It’s twice that Ridley has found himself serving under a more powerful woman. Generally speaking, he’s successfully handled the men in his life; Opponents such as Grey Voice, for example. But it’s the women who tend to put him in his place, even his clone was taken down by a Queen Metroid! His most consistent rival, the one who always defeats him, is Samus. Ridley has never ceded command of the Space Pirates to a dude, but to Mother Brain? Dark Samus? Absolutely.

What I’m saying is, Ridley drinks Respecc Women juice, with Samus being his only exception. If he were a sexist, he’d probably skew towards misandry.
