Three important facts that I promise are connected:

Although it seems that the ninja take turns cooking, Zane's food is apparently so good that they all eagerly await his turn. And his pies are apparently so good that just the smell of them brought a tear to Jay's eyes.

When someone passes away, grief makes menial tasks like cooking and cleaning very difficult. It's for this reason that a lot of bereavement support advice recommends giving gifts of pre-made food or service to those who are grieving. I can imagine the grief would be doubly worsened if you are grieving someone who typically did a lot of the cooking, or someone with whom you strongly associate such tasks.

In s4ep1 "The Invitation", Lloyd invites each of the ninja to dinner with him at Chen's Noodlehouse. However, he phrases it as "if you change your mind, you know where I'll be". Despite his vague wording, all of them unanimously know exactly where to go and when to be there. Furthermore, Cole even says "you're late" to Kai despite the fact that a meetup time was never discussed.

Anyway, my theory is that due to the grief of losing Zane making it difficult to cook, the ninja became regulars at Chen's Noodlehouse. They would go to the same location at roughly the same time almost every night, and that's how the ninja knew exactly where/when to meet up. Which means the place that helped them keep their heads above water post-s3, the place where they spent many nights grieving Zane's loss, is also the same place Lloyd chose to suggest adding a new teammate. And also the same place they found out Zane was alive.

This restaurant has become so strongly tied to their grief over Zane's loss, simply through the way it was there for his friends when he was not. Feeding them the food he himself was no longer present to cook for them. The statue in the garden represents the legacy of his heroism while the noodlehouse represents the legacy of the grief created by his absence, and in this essay I will -

deciding (and realizing based on the way i write and think abt it) that no matter what bellum is not making it out of swabbie rank. he’s put at the lowest rank of whatever hierarchy linebeck decides to adhere to no matter what, no matter the au. bellum can be practically a stowaway or romantically involved with the captain but he is swabbie while link made it to first mate in a handful of months and while being like twelve. bellum gets the mop. to humble him.

Okay... So I am Genderqueer.

Sometimes, I am female

Oftentimes, I'm male

Most times, I'm N/A

Occasionally, I'm both or all of the above

I was feeling kinda female today right?

Well, when I'm female, I usually feel disgusting, and it's songs like this one that really hammer it home. I'm not comfortable being female because I always feel pressured to perform a certain way. I always feel ogled, and it just makes me feel gross, and I hate it.

There's a post I saw about menstruation and the stains and stigma that come along with it.

I love dresses and skirts and the color pink, but I don't feel girl enough or pretty enough or skinny enough to perform as Girl... I don't like being so far removed from my AGAB, I don't hate being female.

I hate how it feels to be female.

hi everyone remind me to never look at deviantart again

[mothocean]

i am, really just fucking hoping theres gonna be more safety regulations around this kind of stuff now. and that the greek coast guard gets fucking sued. also that the submersible company gets sued. and nothing like any of these things happens ever again

[munamania]

and is there not just generally a certain level of decency that would make you like ease up on a person who's obviously more than a little frazzled i am sorry that i cant process all my feelings and regurgitate them to you in an easily digestible manner while im actively In a situation or have a prepared disclaimer about how im so sorry but im just overwhelmed and need you to leave me alone right now or whatever else maybe i just dont know maybe i cant tell you exactly what im feeling or need and if i have to figure it out and explain that to you my brain is going to explode. but you could read the room. is there not a point where a friend would probably just go oh okay let me not continue pushing this person let me take a moment to reflect on their state and perhaps try to ease that or at least not keep fucking pushing on it. and also maybe not choose these moments to make otherwise innocuous but contextually just kinda meanspirited jabs. ok whatever

current state of politics really got me swerving wildly between "yes I want to present as a man" and "oh god is this even worth it maybe I'm not even really trans" and it's bringing me to my limit

Watching this documentary of "killers in the victorian home" and they've gotten to a bit about corsets and I'm going to scream there's so much fear mongering in this segment

"Women would spend hours in the morning putting on a corset" bitch what??????????

I can have mine on in like... idk two minutes?

Even my new solid busk I could probably have on in less than ten minutes (possibly less once I get used to putting it on bc I have to completely unlace it to put it on)

Yeah yeah corsets move your organs around a bit but so does being pregnant?? And no one seems interested in arguing that point

Yes some people did tight-lace but that wasn't as common as they seem to want to make people think?

Do you actually think the fashion plates are how people actually looked???? I highly doubt anyone's waist was the size of their neck even with a corset on

And then they mention photos showing extreme waist sizes as if that hasn't been debunked as photoshop? Granted this doc is probably several years old and doesn't seem to be intent on accurately explaining how corsets work but even so

Just completely gloss over how corsets were the primary supportive garment of the time, let's just totally ignore that women had been wearing similar garments (stays) for centuries before and corsets just look more extreme in general because they're shaped differently (stays are more like tubes, corsets are more shaped to the body), blatantly ignore that modern bras can be just as damaging if not potentially moreso because all the support and pressure is centered on the shoulders which could potentially lead to more back problems

Yes wearing corsets incorrectly or for long periods of time can hurt you but obviously they weren't as dangerous as they're being made out to be or none of us would be here? If they were so deadly how did the population survive into the 20th century?

Anyway thus segment made me incandescently angry thanks for coming to my Ted talk I'll be here until the site shuts down
