I have become obsessed with long term nuclear waste disposal warnings

it’s hilarious to me when people call historical fashions that men hated oppressive

like in BuzzFeed’s Women Wear Hoop Skirts For A Day While Being Exaggeratedly Bad At Doing Everything In Them video, one woman comments that she’s being “oppressed by the patriarchy.” if you’ve read anything Victorian man ever said about hoop skirts, you know that’s pretty much the exact opposite of the truth

thing is, hoop skirts evolved as liberating garment for women. before them, to achieve roughly conical skirt fullness, they had to wear many layers of petticoats (some stiffened with horsehair braid or other kinds of cord). the cage crinoline made their outfits instantly lighter and easier to move in

it also enabled skirts to get waaaaay bigger. and, as you see in the late 1860s, 1870s, and mid-late 1880s, to take on even less natural shapes. we jokingly call bustles fake butts, but trust me- nobody saw them that way. it was just skirts doing weird, exciting Skirt Things that women had tons of fun with

men, obviously, loathed the whole affair

(1864)

(1850s. gods, if only crinolines were huge enough to keep men from getting too close)

(no date given, but also, this is 100% impossible)

(also undated, but the ruffles make me think 1850s)

it was also something that women of all social classes- maids and society ladies, enslaved women and free women of color -all wore at one point or another. interesting bit of unexpected equalization there

and when bustles came in, guess what? men hated those, too

(1880s)

(probably also 1880s? the ladies are being compared to beetles and snails. in case that was unclear)

(1870s, I think? the bustle itself looks early 1870s but the tight fit of the actual gown looks later)

hoops and bustles weren’t tools of the patriarchy. they were items 1 and 2 on the 19th century’s “Fashion Trends Women Love That Men Hate” lists, with bonus built-in personal space enforcement

Winterwight Medium undead, chaotic evil Armor Class 20 (natural armor) Hit Points 230 (20d8 + 140) Speed 30 ft. Str 27, Dex 23, Con 24, Int 11, Wis 22, Cha 25 Damage Immunities cold, necrotic, poison; bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing from nonmagical attacks Damage Vulnerabilities fire Condition Immunities charmed, exhaustion, frightened, paralyzed, poisoned, stunned Senses darkvision 60 ft. passive Perception 16 Languages Common, Infernal Challenge 17 (18000 XP) Aura Of Burning Cold. Whenever a creature that isn’t an undead starts its turn within 10 feet of the winterwight, that creature takes 11 (2d10) cold damage. Magic Resistance. The winterwight has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects. Sunlight Sensitivity. While in sunlight, the winterwight has disadvantage on attack rolls, as well as on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight. Innate Spellcasting. The winterwight’s spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 21). The winterwight can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components: At will: dimension door, sleet storm, wall of ice

Actions Multiattack. The winterwight makes two claw attacks. Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +14 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 21 (3d8+8) slashing damage plus 18 (4d8) cold damage, and the winterwight regains hit points equal to half the cold damage taken. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 24 Constitution saving throw or its hit point maximum is reduced by an equal amount to the damage taken. This reduction lasts until the target finishes a long rest. If this effect reduces the target’s hit point maximum to 0, it dies, and its body is destroyed, leaving behind nothing but icy fragments. Breath Of Winter (Recharge 6). The winterwight breathes freezing air in a 30-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 23 Dexterity saving throw, taking 56 (16d6) cold damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a succesful one. A creature that fails its save is also restrained until the end of its next turn.

Formed from the souls of those who died in the direst of winters, winterwights hunt in the tundra for victims to claim with their frigid, life-draining claws. They stand around 7 feet tall, their icy armor interwoven with their frozen muscle to form an impenetrable shell. These creatures revel in their victims’ suffering. They are often found alone or in pairs, but on rare occasions groups of several can be found. Evil deities of cold sometimes use them as heralds or assassins.

Happy holidays to all of my followers!

A comma splice walks into a bar, it has a drink and then leaves.

A question mark walks into a bar?

Two quotation marks “Walk into” a bar.

A gerund and an infinitive walk into a bar, drinking to drink.

The bar was walked into by a passive voice.

Three intransitive verbs walk into a bar. They sit. They drink. They leave.

hello yes zi is back with more SE shitpost

1st / 2nd / 3rd

[theeclecticengineer]

I'm imagining Blackstar making alot of sexual jokes about soul and maka. Like 'dude she's wrapped her legs around you since forever' or 'man she sits on your shaft for hours at least once a week, what did you expect?' (and it's legit just referring to souls flying scythe form or whatever? Spirits losing his shit in the background)

a good headcanon

[theeclecticengineer]

Where did the hype go? We can’t stop now guys.
