I know this is not a safe space but the state of f/f romance novels is so fucking dire. Everyone is so scared of writing something "problematic" or "toxic" that they produce the most boring, toothless, charmless, unerotic stories you could imagine. There's no character flaws. No real conflict. No hot, impulsive sex without at-length discussion beforehand. Everything is made absolutely clear to the reader lest there might be an understanding. I understand exactly how this happens and also it bores me to tears.

GET. AI. OUT. OF. FANDOM. Stop making headcanons with it, stop making fanfic with it, stop making fanart with it. If I see one more "asking chatgpt *blank* about *character/characters in a fandom* I'm going to lose my goddamn mind. Use your own fucking brain, stop asking AI to do everything. You could even ask other real people what they think. Just. Stop. Using. AI. In. Creative. Spaces.

Hydrange-us!!!!!

I planted some new hydrangeas and they are so thirsty and dramatic. I usually water them twice a day, but if I miss one watering, they will droop to the floor. 😂

when i first heard about the male loneliness epidemic i was like oh yeah close camaraderie and bonding between men is often discouraged in favor of competition or, if not discouraged, at least filtered through a lens of individualism that precludes deep connections. and then i learned what people meant by it (men arent getting laid) to which i say skill issue

Martina McBride didn't win Country Music Association Song of the Year for a song about how burning your house down with your abusive husband still inside it is good, noble, and an allegory for the American Revolution for people to act like the genre belongs to bootlicking fucks

Personification of the River Nile (and details) by Giovanni Volpato. Italian, c. 1785-1785. Hard-paste biscuit porcelain. In the Metropolitan Museum of Art. 

From the Met:

In 1785 Giovanni Volpato established a manufactory in Rome for the production of biscuit-porcelain sculpture. This group personifying the river Nile was the most ambitious work made at Volpato’s factory, as well as the most expensive, as shown by a surviving price list. Most of the sculptural groups made under Volpato’s supervision were reproductions of antique marbles, the biscuit-porcelain medium being ideally suited to this purpose. 

The River Nile is a reduction of a colossal Roman marble at the Vatican, much admired in Volpato’s time, and is remarkably faithful to the marble original; only the base has been simplified, as was required by the change in scale. The composition is an allegory of fecundity. A cornucopia is placed prominently near the reclining Nile, and the sixteen small children who cavort on and about the figure of the river symbolize the sixteen units of measurement, known as cubits, by which the river rose annually, fertilizing the surrounding areas. 

The complexity of the composition, due in large part to the incorporation of the children, accounted for the high price of the biscuit group, of which this is the only known example.
