Calm, Collected, and In Control: A Woman’s Guide to Male Aggression

Male aggression—whether in the workplace, social settings, or even within family dynamics—can be intimidating, frustrating, and, at times, emotionally draining. Women are often conditioned to either shrink in response or appease the situation, but these are not the only options. Understanding how to navigate male aggression with poise, intelligence, and strategic thinking can not only help you…

✨The shroud brothers (and yuu) wish you a happy pride month ✨

In short- the bugs of Hallownest did not take it well. Lots of screaming about "The end of the world" and "past sins coming back to haunt them". Elderbug almost had his second heart attack and basically every bug, other than the Pale King children and Quirrel, hid for several hours. (Zote likes to claim he was the first to make contact)

As for why Dewi's Dad is in Dirtmouth? Well, he wasn't very happy when his 11 year old son told him about going into a 'mysterious cave' to see his bug friends. Adult supervision and all that.

Been listening to the Mighty Nein and: “I could see things falling, and some of it looked like cargo… and some of it looked like me.” Is such a haunting line. Just the imagery of watching torn/burnt off pieces of your own body fall into the water as you’re drowning is a chilling detail.

it bugs me so much when I see people complaining about the lack of women in jrwi when like.... riptide is right there. riptide has so many cool npcs who are women VERY early on in the campaign and throughout the rest of it, PLUS a badass pc (jay) who is one of the best played/written characters in ANY of the jrwi campaigns. like. what's the issue here. you don't even have to go to a new show for cool women, literally their longest running campaign has a ton of them !!!

tell us more about this bfdia rewrite 😈

hghhh theres. So much to talk about im just gonna list off some things

1.“hell”/the underworld has been entirely redone. when an object is crushed theres an off chance theyll clip into this place called the compactment void. it looks like nothing but an empty white scape but the further you travel into it the more warped the void and your physical form becomes (or: the art style starts changing)

2. evil leafy is not the only villain; announcer is working behind the scenes to stir up good drama on the show in hopes he could get back all the money he lost from hosting bfdi. firey speaker box and puffball speaker box are also dual hosts for the majority of it, sent by the announcer to cause some Mischief while keeping the contestants under control

3. bfdinstitute never happens in bfdia 10. instead the teams have to work their own ice cream shops and they all suck

example of them sucking

4. firey actually did forget the stuff that happened in bfdi from the crash (for a little while anyway. there is a point he starts pretending) and also forgot his hatred towards coiny. coiny is unreasonably depressed over firey suddenly not being enemies with him anymore and is doing everything in his power to try and make that happen again

5. rubys sisters are bfdi obsessed superfans and wanted to take ruby’s place so that they could finally be with their idols. however they are ruby haters she is their least favorite character they dislike every single time

6. the whole leafy debacle left a much larger impact on everyone. a lot of the veteran contestants refuse to discuss her out of contempt, grief, or fear (because of the “evil leafy” rumor going around). pin even keeps her map and hides it from everyone minus coiny and later firey. there is also no “create dream island” challenge they were all promised a new dream island by the hosts. this was a lie

ok yeahhhh theres more but its late and ehat fun is explaining the entire plot when u can draw pictures of it or something

Goes without saying but I hate how cishet pokemon fan men talk about cynthia saw a video where it was like "if I woke up in the pokemon world I'd have sex with cynthia" she'd talk to you about a mythical urn for an hour and send you away with some psyduck medicine or something at best

Hey so some mid 30s youtuber named Sai Scribbles is pissed at me because I pointed out how its weird as hell that shes in her mid 30s (edit: sorry, 40s) and trying to justify calling people retards, and now she's trying to get harassment thrown my way

Being a youtuber just seems like such an emotionally fulfilling career, doesn't it?

Ugh, mini rant about work so it’s going below the cut

You ever feel like coworkers put you down because idk, maybe they’re jealous? Intimidated? I just feel like at work, no one really knows me. And it’s fine, because tbh, I don’t want them to. But like, everyone around here is so odd.

My bosses think I can take on a thousand things at once, but also think I’m never doing anything.

My coworkers think they’re the only ones with crazy schedules.

And people who have more education than me (aka pharmacist coworker) think that I’m spacey?

Like, sorry my concentration was in inorganic chemistry, not radioactivity. You’ve literally been in this field for half my life!! How dare you think I’m not smart because this is all new to me and I’m learning.

And then I essentially get accused of not learning because I don’t pay attention by another coworker. She’s asking me to take over a responsibility she’s shown me twice in the multiple months I’ve been here. And it’s everyone in the lab’s responsibility, so why isn’t she asking anyone else in the lab to help!?!?

This all really just made me peeved yesterday to the point I cried the more I thought about it. Like, I know a lot, but this is literally so far off what I’ve learned. Haven’t I proven my wide breadth of knowledge from cooking to entertainment, to general trivia!? Well, no, I guess, because no one bothers to ask me or talk to me. No one knows about my life, the things I did growing up. It just sucks sometimes.

Ps. I was there for ELEVEN HOURS yesterday. No one really knows. No one really cares or sees what I do. Like, I’m not asking for overwhelming praise, just some sort of acknowledgment that I’m having to make something when it wasn’t all handed to me like some other coworkers. I really wish I had friends around here. Truly in Misery.

Does anyone else automatically size themselves up with people their age and look for ways that you’re inferior to them? Just me? Ok….

One little known fact about Sherry is that she has a ridiculously high spice tolerance. The Sinners find this out on accident when dining out at a restaurant of Hong Lu's choice, where he tells them about a certain spicy mustard served there that they can dip their food in.

Most of the Sinners are incapable of handling the sting but Sherry just keeps eating the mustard. She's in tears and has to keep scrunching up her face, but she absolutely loves the burning sensation whenever she takes a bite. Hong Lu, of course, is very happy she likes it, and Ryōshū is mildly impressed she can handle it, but the other Sinners are a bit terrified of just how much spice Sherry can handle.

i was content just being a solo Ten stan and being respectful about it but WayV is growing on me. Xiaojun and Yangyang are both so funny, I can't help it.

"you're a literal little drummer boy!" race shouts, ambushing spot outside of the music room. spot doesn't flinch at the sudden yelling or random person jumping out at them.

"what?" he keeps walking, expecting race to follow. he does, trailing along behind him to continue his thoughts. they talked about once after they kissed. spot said it was nice but that he didn't really wanna do it again. race just shrugged and went with it.

"you're short, a drummer, and male, from what i can tell. a little drummer boy." he can't see spot's face but imagines it isn't impressed.

"and you tracked down me, a guy you kissed once in the music room, just to tell me this?" he grins at spot.

"you should be flattered. normally, i wouldn't trail around after a hot guy like a lost puppy."

"normally? you have a routine?" spot rolls his eyes. "cause you've been through so many guys."

"no, cause a lot of guys have been through me." spot blinks and he can almost see the wheels turning in his brain. he grins bigger as the realization sets in. "i'm just kidding."

"oh." race shakes his head.

"you're a lost cause, man. can't you tell a joke when you hear one?"

"i thought you were being serious!"

"i almost never am. look, i was just here to tell you a joke and check how your hand is feeling."

"why do you care?" spot snaps. he always seems a little angry.

"well, i'm worried when someone splits their hand open. i wanna make sure it's healing okay." spot looks a little caught off guard, like he's not used to someone checking on him.

"my hand's fine," he says finally. "sore but fine. it's healing, so, thank you or whatever." he flexes his hand slightly. "that it?" race blinks.

"yeah." he nods, suddenly feeling very awkward just standing there. it's a very new feeling to be awkward in front of a hot guy. he feels itchy. "i will see you around, little drummer boy." he turns around to head back to the music room so he can practice during his spare.

"hey. wait!" spot grabs his arm suddenly, yanks him back. he looks expectantly at spot, who stays quiet. "i dunno what i was gonna say." spot doesn't let go of his arm.

"gotta say something, i got places to be."

"um." spot blinks hard and shakes his head. "is- how is your hand?" race snorts.

"i didn't hurt my hand. so it's pretty fine." spot nods. "are you okay?"

"i just didn't want you to leave. needed an excuse to keep you here."

"you don't need an excuse to hang out with me, spot."

"i guess." spot drops his arm. "yeah, right. um, you can go." race reaches out and taps his foot against spot's leg, a small smile on his face.

"bye, spot."
