i don't know if you guys have been keeping up with the women's world cup but this past sunday spain won against england. and you would think this would be the best moment of their careers and their lives but you wanna know what happened?
the spanish football federation's president non-consensually kissed one of the players, jenni hermoso, on the mouth when they were celebrating. this grown ass man took it upon himself to ruin the celebration for ALL the women who just achieved the thing they have been preparing for all their lives, literally the peak of a football player's career, they did it and he by himself ruined it.
and i say all the women because the other players, along 58 currently inactive and ex-players, stood up for jenni hermoso and have refused to play for the team until luis rubiales publicly apologizes and renounces his spot. now the rfef says they'll take legal action against the players and jenni for lying and because they have an obligation to play for the team.
do you remember how the men's world cup celebrations went? i do, im from argentina. no one said anything to any of the players, they were treated like kings for months and they are worshipped to this day. and rightfully so! they earned it i guess. but we do see the discrepancy?
how is it that we allow as a society for one man to sexually assault a woman right after achieving the thing another group of men got ceaselessly venerated for not even a year later? what do women have to do to earn respect? win the world cup? become the pride and joy of their country?

All the jokes about Ken and horses are good but I just wanna say it's such a good parallel to how actual young men get swept into misogyny and the patriarchy.
Like they're told to believe it means men get to be cool and manly and have this power but with that comes extremely rigid commands of what they can be as a man and a cycle of self hatred for never matching those gender roles perfectly. Patriarchy tells men that if they just do exactly what is expected of them, then they get all the "cool stuff" that comes with. That doesn't work though when there's only a small group that actually gets that power, but men will keep trying to fit into those roles in hopes that they can.
In the end there are no horses or the myth men are told, it's just endless cycles of self hatred and ingroup fighting.

It's them the boys my love's the lights if my life the yees to my haws my oTP-
I can't even begin to explain why I love them for me they just WORK-
John has been alone for so long, stewing in his regrets and failures as an older brother. He needs a gentle figure in his life to assure him that he matters and that he deserves love because despite all the mistakes he's made he's working to change
Trollex doesn't have much screen time, but he strikes me as a kind, gentle, and loving. He's open to the inclusion of other genres of Trolls, and strives to be a better King because of it.
In my personal headcanons, Trollex doesn't have a good relationship with his family because of how willing he is to let other Trolls in their kingdom. So he's lived most of his life trying to apease someone who was never gonna give him a chance, unless he went back to their old ways.
But when he meets John, someone who is unabashedly himself, he falls hard. And John falls right back, falling into the arms of this gentle giant who's more than willing to tell him how much he's loved over and over again.
These two are cheesy as hell and can often be found with their foreheads pressed together, whispering sweet nothings to one another.
They found each other late in life, but by god they're gonna make the most of it.
I could go on for hours about these two and frankly I already have so imma cut it off here and just say these two are without a doubt my OTP and I can't stop thinking about them-

Has anyone made a fic
where when exposed to pale, Kim meets an old version of himself, like 90.
“Well there’s a fine young man,” he says kindly, a spark of mischief in his dark eyes that’s decades younger.
Old Kim is completely unbothered by current Kim’s presence, takes it in stride to see a ghost of the past standing in his living room. But aside from the time travel, young Kim is dumbfounded at how they’d lived so long.
“70 was our goal, wasn’t it?” Kim accepts the offered tea. “Not bad.”
Turns out that Harry lived almost as long. Kim is shocked (on his liver??), then of course saddened at the thought that he ends up alone, sitting on a garish couch that has Harrier’s unique taste written all over it.
Old Kim waves him off with a chuckle. “Alone? I rarely get peace. The kids visit every day, now, and grandkids every weekend.“
Kim’s breath catches in his throat. It’s…more than he’s ever dared to dream.
“Besides. Harry’s around here someplace, I’m sure.”
Oh. Well maybe he isn’t as sharp as first perceived.
Old Kim smiles conspiratorially. “He isn’t moving on without me. We hardly spent a day apart for 45 years. When it’s time, he insists we go together.” Shakes his head. “Most stubborn man in the world.” He says it with the utmost fondness.
This doesn’t line up with Kim’s view of reality, but he can see the other is serious…and content. “Is this all a hallucination?”
The older man breaks into a brilliant smile, a map of wrinkles on a lovingly weathered face. “The world is stranger and more wondrous than you know, Kim. And you are going to be happy.”

Once I finally surrendered to my natural desires and gave myself to a man, I quickly fell in love with him. Since then, the desire to make love to men has been irresistible. #liveyourtruth #boys will be girls #safe in his arms
Love, Melissa xox 💖❤️⭐️🌸👗

why are people so against giving a character new interests outside of their canon material
my love you’re allowed to interpret a tough character doing cutesy things for no reason as much as you wish
pls don’t let the gatekeepers keep you from having fun

AU where Phoenix is just slightly more spiritually sensitive so instead of just being able to hear Mia's ghost, he gets to hang out with his great great (x?) grandfather Ryuunosuke who imprinted on him the moment he decided to become a defense attorney for gay reasons.
Also if anyone could magically be there for Pheonix while Edgeworth is fake-dead it would be Ryuunosuke.
I'm also a staunch believer in both Phoenix and Ryuu having rough/distant relationships with their family so it's funny to think that the only biological family member you can stand is the one that haunts you and looks exactly like you if you time traveled and cut your hair unevenly with safety scissors.
