Had this Headcannon that when Multi-Lingual Dick and Jason get drunk they start singing Ballads in Spanish. Yeah some classical shit like Vicente Fernandez but also the most wild Selena you've ever heard.

Me watching the LGBT community who almost never rarely gives black women and girls, asexuals, or aromantics genuine respect, pretend we’re all friends and have always treated us right the minute it’s June 1st and want to use black women(mainly darkskinned) and girls as their little poster girl:

“Studies of Elizabeth Woodville […] have been hampered by the continuing fascination with her brother-in-law, Richard III. The Ricardian [and Yorkist] apologetic is now largely dependent upon the argument that the Woodville family posed such a threat to Richard of Gloucester, and the kingdom as a whole, that Gloucester had little option but to take the throne from his Woodville-dominated nephew. Although this argument has [irregularly] been contested, a reassessment of the queen's role in 1483 has not yet been attempted. Michael Bennett, in his 1987 account [...] still dismissed her as `an inveterate intriguer, capable in her vanity and fecklessness of some remarkable shifts and turns'. But more often she is scarcely mentioned in general histories of the period.”

-J.L. Laynesmith, “English Queenship 1445-1503” (thesis for the degree of DPhil in Medieval Studies, University of York, Centre for Medieval Studies, April 1999)

I really really REALLY enjoy when Hugo gets to meet people/kids and gets petted. It's fun for me to just stand back and watch, especially since he'll happily let kids get all up in his face.

Honestly, if any character deserves to go on a hashtag misandrist genocide it is Claudia.

I'm not an extrovert. At all. In everyday life, I'm a yapper, sure, but I need someone to first assure me I am okay to yap, so I don't start conversations, even when I really want to join in sometimes! It's just the social anxiety acting up. God knows where from and why I lose a lot of my inhibitions when it comes to talking to people about music. I don't know where the confidence has suddenly sprung from. I've made a crazy amount of friends in musical circles, either just talking to people about common music or (since it is after all in music circles) talking to bands about their own music. I let out a sigh of relief any time an interaction goes well, because in truth it's going against my every instinct. I wish I could do that in everyday life

AND ANOTHER THING

some of yall act real fucking weird about systems in mh (im not gonna argue here about if masky and hoodie are or arent systems, i am not a system and therefore cannot speak well on that subject and i will leave that argument for the folks who know what theyre talking about) and about tims medical history.

regardless of any mental illnesses tim does or doesnt have, that does not make any of them OOOOO so SPOOKY SCARY AAAAAAaaaaaaa like some of yall fucking treat them, again, not an expert here, but you dont need to be an expert to see that some of yall act like someone being schizophrenic (or a system) makes them scarier by default. its just a brain thing man, by all acounts ive seen its a lot scarier for the person actually dealing with it every day than anyone else involved. yall need to have more fucking respect for members of the community who have had to repeat this on loop for years, eps those who yknow, are systems, or have schizophrenia, or any other mental illness youve been portraying as the scary thing of the week.

maybe this isnt my soap box to get on, but damn if yall have ignored every person whos tried to educate you who actually knows what theyre on about, its worth a fucking shot at least

so, TLDR

stop acting like being a system or having mental illness is scary and makes you scary. its shitty and you should listen to being who are systems or who have mental illnesses on the subject

this mostly happens on tiktok but i feel like im actually going insane whenever i see people say things like "if you think gortash is hot, you're lying to yourself". besides just the fact attractiveness is subjective and whatever, gortash is literally Just A Guy. like there is nothing uniquely physically unattractive about him. he just looks like a regular 40-something guy that is a little emo.

[sluggybunny]

i got a diagnosis for Whats Wrong With Me and i go back n forth between "i am so glad to finally know what has been causing this it's less scary knowing that it's something & im not alone" and "oh god oh no it's real it's a real thing this is happening now"

What gets me about certain people being so fucking pissy about Bob not writing much about Eilistraee (until the last fucking trilogy where EIlistraeans featured heavily) is that

a) Bob basically built drow culture up from almost nothing, and Eilistraee came after he started writing Drizzt

b) no you guys really don't understand. I own the first 4 modules drow appeared in. There's... not much there. And it hasn't aged well.

c) and the Big One: he has a specific vision for his specific characters when it comes to the narrative he wants to explore, from sexual abuse to religious trauma, both of which are fucking complicated and for most people just switching deities isn't enough to fix that.

I have religious trauma that I still struggle with to this day and probably will for the rest of my life to some extent, and it's fundamentally different in nature from what most people would probably expect, and the thing is even though I am happily polytheistic and very enthusiastically into it, I still struggle a lot with certain things because every time I get into my religious practice I have to actively force myself into (or out of) certain things because my whole relationship to religion and spirituality is complicated and messy.

It would be easy and frankly incredibly superficial for Bob to decide to just have them all convert to half-assed Neowiccan ~woo~ drow Jesus Eilistraee to *~*save their souls*~* and call it a day

BUT HE DIDN'T DO THAT

Partly because she wasn't his creation and other authors were writing her at the time so he really couldn't, and partly because it's a shitty message to send.

Sometimes people benefit from converting to a new religion or following a new deity. Sometimes people don't.

I benefited from gradually converting to my religion, but it's come with a whole different set of complications and hasn't been a smooth journey for me.

Just going from extensive religious trauma to switching deities does not fix your problems, and for a lot of people it realistically can make them much worse.

but also

you don't have to be saved by a deity in order to have value as a person
