"Now I've shot so many Nazis, Daddy will have to buy me a sable coat." (From his Wikipedia article).
Neil Munro "Bunny" Roger
June 9, 1911-April 27, 1997.
Bunny Roger killed a bunch of Nazis and then invented Capri pants.

He was expelled from Oxford for his indiscrete gayness (discrete gayness being perfectly fine at Oxford and part of the curriculum until...today probably, at least like 1992?). Then, having been sent down to London, he started his own fashion business, and his first client was Vivien Leigh.
Bunny served in WWII, killing fascists in North Africa and Italy, and often wearing a mauve scarf in the field. Roger claimed that he had gone into a battle brandishing a rolled-up copy of VOGUE and commanding: "When in doubt, powder heavily!"
Roger was known in high society for his themed soirées; Diamond, Amethyst, and Flame Balls were held to celebrate his 60th, 70th, and 80th birthdays. He wore a curious plum colored catsuit with a feathered headdress at his 70th birthday ball in 1981. At his 80th, he made his entrance in a catsuit of scarlet sequins with a cape of orange organza, greeting his guests from behind a wall of fire. His parties were covered by the newspapers, including a New Year's Eve Fetish Ball where the proper upper class mixed with young guests in rubber S/M gear.

From an obituary: "Beneath his mauve mannerisms, Bunny was stalwart, frank, dependable and undeceived; to onlookers a passing peacock, to intimates, a life enhancer and exemplary friend."
From another obituary:
He served valiantly in every way.

i have so much respect for deja skye being open and honest about the dangerous complications she faced during her weight loss surgery, especially on a show that can’t decide how it feels about fatphobia, and still centers thinness. it was so meaningful to hear her say she regrets it and encouraging people to do their research before undergoing such an extreme potentially life threatening elective operation.

good smut is really a character study and that is final. i need it to be about vulnerability i need it to be about trust or lack thereof and most of all i need it to be emotional agony. thats what sex is for

U can watch Star Wars so many times and it doesn’t prepare u for how dumb Star Wars is. For one thing I think we gloss over how kenobi (who has definitely been at the club. Please.) describes the mos eisley cantina as the worst most villainous place ever and then u get inside and it’s a pack of muppets vaping

so harrowhark nonagesimus is often portrayed as raised as some form of generic-leaning-catholic christian in real world adaptations, which is fair. however, although it matches aesthetically with the prayer beads and the kneeling, i think that this interpretation undersells the fact that the ninth house practices a substantially different religion from the rest of the houses in many ways. in the other houses there are more religious and less religious people, but they all have the same major prayer and such, which the ninth does not share. the ninth house religion:
- considers themselves part of the same religion as the rest of the houses, but are often not given the same courtesy, and are generally considered weirdly culty, or at the most charitable, a fascinating anomaly
- worships jod as the foremost creator, but also shows great reverence to a secondary saint/prophet, who is not recognized by the more mainstream of the houses
- fixates on an upcoming apocalypse that their house will be the witness to and bear the burden of
- is far more demanding than many of the other houses, placing more importance on the ritual aspect of worship, much of which is secret from outsiders
- has specific religious outfitting (face paint etc) that must be worn by all adherents, at all times
weighing the evidence thus, it is with a heavy heart that i have concluded that harrowhark nonagesimus is a mormon.

big shoutout to trans people that decide to change their last name too. sometimes you’ve just gotta throw the whole name out and start from the beginning.

Shoutout to my dad who accidentally moved into an up and coming black lgbt neighborhood and was very disappointed to learn that all of his “new friends” weren’t actually interested in how to use iNaturalist or where he saw coyotes on his walks 😔🙏🏻
