#into a more 'ideal' appearance

[pjharvey-moved]

i think we can recognize that corsets were a patriarchal invention and also recognize that push up bras and butt lifts and botox and the other stuff we have now are also products of patriarchy. like lots of things can be patriarchal inventions bc patriarchy has been around for thousands of years and it would follow that it has continued to influence women's fashion and the things that women are told we should do to our bodies throughout the ages

if a whole july writing challenge wasn't enough i decided i was going to undertake a huge gif project for no other reason than to see if i could do it. and you know what, it's sort of looking like it's possible - we've got the ugliest rough draft idea going but once i get all the moving parts and gifs set that i like (that first one especially needs to be changed/fixed hnnnnn don't even talk to me about the rest of it. tbd on if i keep the little selection boxes as they are) we'll be in business

The fact that Uhura, Sulu, and M’Benga don’t have first names in the original series is frustrating first and foremost because it smacks of racism (they’re the only recurring characters of color AND the only recurring characters without first names), but also because their later established names make me think of the newer versions of their characters, not the originals.

i didnt really like the last scene of Primal (s2) but thematically it makes perfect sense and i can't be mad at it. Primal, besides being a visual delight of cartoonized gore & character design, is a story about the continuation of life. The second season could not make it more clear, with the emphasis put on the egg-laying scene, managing to imbue the long close-up of a cloaca with a sense of poetic wonder; and even more so, with the darwin episode, in which charles darwin explains primal theory before getting to play action hero. (this episode was honestly so shameless about having fun; it's a gem). This episode being the only one with dialogue that most of the audience would understand, as well as the only one breaking away from the main story, highlights its importance and makes it almost a demonstration of the series as a whole: one that openly chucks historical accuracy to the side to play with the concept of violence as a means of survival. what it doesn't mention, however, is the subsidiary theme of the importance of "family", aka the group one belongs to. It shines through with the main duo, and of course with the subplots of the giant and the vikings. With all this in mind, I can't argue against the thematic coherence and near necessity of the final sex scene--i may not have liked it, but it fits in with the narrative. As the caveman slowly dies from the wounds inflicted by the only being that could beat him (a godlike avenger), mira gazes at his paintings and gets a sense of his loneliness. They have travelled far together and while she may have found her village again, her previous lover is long dead. In many ways, they belong to one another and are "family" already (with the lizards too, of course). It's true that the scene, while quick, does not shy away in a classic fade-to-black--i'd call it off-puttingly intimate--but the series is very adult; it spreads intestines over just about every episode. And most of all, it's not grotesque or ridiculous--it's a tender rekindling of hope, symbolized by the dinosaur-riding daughter in the last images.

Mordecai probably lives in an apartment or something, but my first thought when you brought up the Caves on that post was that he won’t tell us because he’s been living in the Caves the Whole Time. Even tho he’d hate the slime mold.

yeah a Whole Damn House would be a bit much, and probably not as useful for the nightly bootlegging related goings on: see, freckle needing to stand around waiting for a ride before he can go shoot people. whereas mordecai can show up to the maribel hotel on foot, or at least have started out somewhere he could get a cab or whatever....and this is probably the closest to any relevant Living Situation Glimpses

someplace with a bed, and one with an art deco headboard....a modern style, so it's neither Antique nor unfancy enough to have less identifiable stylings at all. like just by guessing surely he lives in some apartment that's unassuming enough to live unassumingly in, with whatever alias, so something large & fancy would be unhelpful....plus if he's gonna be fairly rigorous in his domestic upkeep, it wouldn't really help to have a huge place, even if for the same reasons it wouldn't be too small (or old or otherwise unpleasant; hard no to slime mold, slime, or mold....) and like re: the rotating aliases, maybe he moves places fairly regularly for good measure, been at this like, a decade....tl;dr probably has some apartment/s that's roomy but not huge, nice but not Fancy fancy, at the nexus of practicality, resources, and preferences

but it's important to think about "what if mordecai's been living in the caves the whole time" b/c that's funny lmao

Can somebody please explain to me what the appeal of vampires is.

since pepper was asking for it something that girls do that always makes me think 'cool gender' is not change their names despite it being historically masculine and re-defining the name through their identity and relationship to it.

Fellas I’ve been on this wretched planet for thirty-five years now and God willing my ride will be over soon

But as I am geriatric in internet years, I’m going to take this time to impart upon you a little piece of wisdom that I’ve gleaned from my ages and ages on this planet, having lived alongside dinosaurs in my youth, watched the Protestant Reformation unfold in real time, and tried unsuccessfully to warn Stalin about Hitler

No matter what you achieve in life, if you complain about it, people will treat you like you are a quitter. Play your cards right and you can do all the hard work and sacrifice and suffering of a successful person and enjoy all the infamy, disrespect, and low regard of an inveterate slacker along the way. The worst of both worlds!

Don’t ever say I never did anything for you.

really wish there was a tag that separated “I’m having Big Angry and/or Angsty Opinions about Star Wars” from “I’m goofing off with Star Wars I’m playing in the sandbox none of this is real so yes I will make my blorbo and this random glub shitto go on an adventure that makes no logical sense” posts because there’s too much of the former and not enough of the latter for my current mental state
