whenever i see these post-apocalyptic films set in the USA where everyone is pretty much just killing each other with no mention of other nations i always just assume that the rest of the world is fine and has learnt how to resume life as normal

when guys are like “girls over [relatively low weight] shouldn’t wear [revealing article of clothing]” a lot of the time they are trying to get women above that weight to say “OH REALLY?” and post a picture of themselves looking good in that article of clothing. It’s a creepy power play designed to prey on both women’s confidence and their insecurities and trick them into posting revealing pictures of themselves for the sexual gratification of men who they otherwise wouldn’t have given the time of day. It’s a sleazy pick-up artist tactic. It’s negging. When you see an all-too-common post that’s like “bigger girls shouldn’t wear bikinis” and the response is him getting “owned” because a woman replied with pictures of herself looking beautiful, he’s not getting owned at all, he’s getting exactly the result he was hoping for. They’re basically saying “You sure showed me by sending me, a huge sexist creep, a picture of yourself in a bikini! PLEASE don’t send me nudes, I don’t know if I could take the humiliation!”

ok but if bruce wayne somehow came upon zuko fresh out of banishment he would lose his mind.

black hair? check. bad parent(s)? check. trauma? double check.

bruce: how’d you get your scar?

zuko: my dad got mad at me for saying that killing people is wrong so he lit my face on fire and banished me.

bruce, vibrating with excitement, already pulling adoption papers from his utilility: that’s terrible. how do you feel about capes.

The most important thing I leaned from my last relationship was that cheating isn’t the wordt thing that a guy can do. I’ve been cheated on before and as I can asure you it did not feel great, there are other things that may call for a breakup. Here are some of them:

• If he thinks he’s doing you a favor by not cheating. Not cheating is a baseline in a relationship, it should be a given, not something he should be worshiped for.

• If he’s not making you feel secure about the relationship and Is making you feel like any girl can swoop in and you have to fight for him.

• If he’s not open to your love language and doesn’t even try to understand you when you’re upset; worse if you communicated properly about how you feel and what made you feel like that but he still doesn’t care.

• If he intentionally hurts your feelings when he’s angry by using things you shared with him in confidence, you will obviously share your fears and insecurities with your boyfriend but whwn he uses those when you’re fighting that’s not a good sign.

• If he calles you “whore” “bitch” and the like when you’re fighting.

• If he refuses to apologize after a fight and claim that he did those things because you angered him.

Cheating is like having your world collapse in one fast swoosh, but those things chip you away bit by bit and eat your confidence. You won’t even know it’s happening until it’s too late and you’ve lost so much confidence you don’t think you’re worthy of being loved so you stay in the relationship because you think it’s better than being alone. It’s not. Please leave him. Please find a way to gain your confidence back, he had no right to take it.

Me: *Removes my cat from my lap to do something else.*

My cat: Father is…evil? Father is unyielding? Father is incapable of love? I am running away. I am packing my little rucksack and going out to explore the world as a lone vagabond. I can no longer thrive in this household.
