#it is funny tho how the show routinely treats lying as like

[raayllum]

one of the things i love most about arc 2, i think, is the breaking down of "this action is always bad" from arc 1 into "this action is always circumstantial" in arc 2. not that arc 1 is devoid of morality complexity and ambiguity, but there's definitely more examinations of said things and said unforeseen consequences in arc 2.

in arc 1, Claudia doesn't break away from her father (isn't familial morality good?) and Rayla does (becoming the first real traitor in the series in a lot of ways). In arc 1, Nyx is our primary (bad) thief who steals for self-centred (monetary) reasons, but in S5 we see both Ezran and Rayla engage in thievery with good intentions, even if for Rayla it is also for 'monetary' reasons (ha!) and Callum spares/helps her much the way Rayla spared/helped Nyx, even after being 'tricked' and certainly lied to. Nyx's thievery has the least consequence with Ezran's having the most, but their intentions (to return a baby creature for money / to save baby creatures from a truly terrible fate and existence) is what divvies up the actions accordingly.

Soren and Terry are both crestfallen and wracked with guilt upon killing someone - for Soren, his father, which is extra complicated given that Viren clearly paid quite a steep price to keep his son alive; for Terry, a relative stranger - but both murders affect them in similar ways. For Terry, it was something he'd never been trained to do and wholly in defense of someone he loves; for Soren, it was fulfilling his purpose as a knight and a crownguard for someone he loves, but also reflective of the strength it took to stand up against his father for what was right.

When Callum breaks away from Aaravos in future seasons, he will be retreading Viren's path in 5x09. Claudia and Rayla continue to parallel each other quite strongly, particularly with 6x01 in mind. Callum, like Viren and Claudia, has used dark magic two times now for Good reasons, yet is clearly still worried by what path it may set him on, while Viren is forced to recognize his own agency (much like Callum did in S2).

IDK if this makes sense but I really like the way TDP takes intention, circumstance, and consequence into account, and doesn't let any character off the hook for their choices within those circumstances, but also doesn't demonize any of them for their choices either

Ladies, may i have your attention please ?

Reblog and share this post with the most girlies possible right now, because

👏WE 👏NEED 👏TO 👏START 👏AN 👏OLDER 👏VIRGIN 👏GIRL 👏SUPPORT 👏GROUP

(Lads, don't you effing start laughing like stupid, i bite fr! Love u if u support tho)

If you are like me, a 24 yo and + woman and virgin/never had sex/single, or can relate to, let's start this mf support group, reblog and share so that more ladies can follow us, 'cause i can't be the only one 😤

If you don't, reblog and share are still appreciated but DON'T READ THE REST OF THE POST FOR I AM GOING TO SLANDER 🌠Jennifer🌠 SO HARD, THE CHILDREN MUST NOT SEE AND U DON’T WANNA SEE THAT

Ladies, be a girl's girl and join the fight against 🌠Jennifer🌠 !!!

TW : abuse of the word "virgin" because it's not an insult not a compliment so we are getting used to hear it. If your uncomfortable with "virgin", get out 🚪🚶‍♀️

By the way, 🌠Jennifer🌠 is not a person : she is an allegory, she represents the people when i tell them i am virgin.

I picture 🌠Jennifer🌠 as female because in french, my native language, nouns have genders and society is female, i don't make the rules 💅 I don't personally know a Jennifer : i picked the name for the vibe.

Since i am adult virgin woman, she assumes that I :

Too pure for this world

Waiting for marriage

Religious

Traditional

No fun at all

Don't get sex joke

Blushing/outraged at anything even remotly intimate

Ugly/unattractive

Bad at flirting

A lesbian in denial

Aro/ace

Femcel

Shy/not assertive/doesn't dare anything

Childish/immature

Don't take care of myself

Must have something wrong in my body and/or my head

Aiming for someone not single (for example, her lame and uglyass bf 🤮)

Hate men

Too masculine/not womanly enough

A "nice girl" or a "one of the boys"

Scaring/disgusted the boys out

Scared of the 🍆

Don't know how it works

"Too much into politic" / too feminist

Set my standards too high

Have a trauma

Not interested in others/antisocial/sociopath/cavewoman

Don't masturbe

Need advice about the boys

Too romantic

Had strict parents

A lonely girl

Actually a minor

Cringe

Chronically online

Don't know life

Lying

Like STFU, stop. You don't even make sense !

We were talking, getting to know each other. We were getting along so far until i dropped "actually i am still a virgin" bomb.

And then 🌠Jennifer🌠 started to look at me funny and that's how i KNOW she will less respect me. Like she either babying or gaslighting me. She may not say anything but all the previous points above are shining through her sassy eyes.

I KNOW i may sound aggressive in this post but irl i am not like that, she just annoys me so much . Your girl have a job, friends, hobby, ambition, dreams, YOUR GIRL IS BUSY and doesn't have to put up with those bs.

The worst is : i am perfectly okay with me having reaching adulthood and still being virgin, but it somehow bugs🌠Jennifer🌠' for no reason and wanna make it my problem.

So hear me out, 🌠Jennifer🌠 :

what i put or not my coochie is not your effing business

I am 24, you thought seeing a dick pic would have me blushing ?

As if i'd want ur lameass bf 🤮 he doesn't even treat u right

All the men i know so far were nothing but wonderful with me

Do i need to show you my 139452 step self-care routine to prove you i am girly enough ?

If i scare the men, how come you are not scared of me ? (Fear me or i will harvest your kneecaps)

What if i wasn't queer/lgbt ? (Show them support pls)

I am fabulous 💅💅💅💅💅🖕

I don't have any sex related trauma, but i will be your worst nightmare if you keep going

Why would i be lying ? I don't have time for creating bs, unlike you

No i am not hidding it 🖕

I would love to do sex jokes for you. Unfortunatly i don't like you and will not joke around with u

Your standards are too low

Me and my bitches from the adult virgin women support group will put you down and we are not shutting up. Period 💅

✨Self-Care Day✨w/ 💥🪨KiriBaku HeadCanons💥🪨

Off Day

💥🪨 You’re hanging upside down on the couch in your shared apartment with a boyfriend on either side of you. Kiri’s hand in yours while Baku’s had one hand on your thigh and the other scrolling on his phone as some cartoon drones on the tv

💥🪨 This is not how you envisioned your first free weekend into the last two weeks going



💥🪨 You sigh loudly before poking out your bottom lip “Suki? Eiji? I’m bored.” you pout dramatically as you throw a hand onto your forehead before you continue “Can we do a self-care day?”

💥🪨 Baku just grunts in affirmation as he stretches before standing. Kiri just smiles “Of course, Pebble. Whatever you want.”

💥🪨 You pop up pecking both guys on the cheek as you bounce off to the kitchen with Kiri’s hand still in yours “Thanks you two are the best!I’ll make tea!!!”

💥🪨 “And don’t you forget it!” Bakugou smiles popping your soft ass as he follows behind most likely to micromanage

💥🪨 You three chat about your week not having much time outside of courses to really talk. Between studying, training, and hero work you guys just didn’t have a lot going of free time.

💥🪨Per usual you and Kiri really carry the conversation Baku only chiming in ever so often to offer up things that he hates

💥🪨 You pop up remembering one of for favorite parts of a good ole fashioned treat yo self day. The cute headbands for you and Kiri to push your hair out of your faces. You return with a pink bunny one, a brown Teddy Bear one, and a plain black headband. Baku takes the black and Kiri takes the bunny.

💥🪨 “How do I look, Peb?” Kiri smirks flexing to show his broad ass built ass frame after putting on his bunny headband. “Ridiculous.” “-ly Hawt!” You laugh correcting Baku

💥🪨 You film in absolute awe as your Manly bf’s pierce Suki’s ear with ease after the off handed joke you made sipping tea. Cue Baku voguing it up with pride and a freshly pierced ear. Bakugou is slightly leaner and a couple inches shorter but just as toned

💥🪨 “Suki, Eiji, you are too manly!” You hype your man up as you post the video to your IG story

💥🪨 It’s your turn now!! Kiri easily pierces your ears with a red stud in your right and an orange in your left. Adding a second set of holes right above your first ones

💥🪨 Next comes high quality and novelty animal face masks Bakugou buys online to compliment his vigorous skin care routine. It rivals half of the YouTube Beauty community’s

💥🪨 Niether of you have any idea of where he buys them or where he hides them for that matter. He stores them away so you guys can’t steal them when he’s not around. Bakugou allows you and Kiri to use his masks on special occasions tho

💥🪨 “Mr. and Mrs. Dumbass.” He smirks handing you a frog and Kiri a tiger. Earning him a playful jab from you and “A Thanks, Babe.” from the red head

💥🪨 You suggest nail 💅🏾 polish next and Kiri is automatically on board. “Oooooo can you make them Red, Babygirl? Because they’d be so manly!” Kiri beams bouncing up and down. Baku will only allow his middle fingers painted. “I want white with bombs or just F U. Whichever is easier for you, Teddy Bear.” Bakugou nods scrunching up his nose from behind his own red panda face mask.

💥🪨 Kirishima’s nails are a simple sparkly red that say 🤍BITE MANLY in white while Bakugou’s middle fingers are white with black bombs with an orange F U on each one respectively

💥🪨 After you peel off your masks, you and Kirishima squeal in nearly perfect sync “Oooooooooooo! Sooooo Soft! Aren’t we hawt, Bakubro! Seeeeeeeeeee!” Both of you placing his hand on your faces

💥🪨Bakugou will just roll his red eyes into the back of his head as you two wrap him in a tight embrace “I’ve told you idiots a thousand times the importance of regular skin care with quality products.” He shrugs nonchalantly even thought he loves when you two are touchie with him. He hates to admit it

💥🪨 As you begin to search you nail kit for your preferred color, Kiri grabs your hand and presses it to his cheek “Can we do yours, Pebble?” He pouts. Bakugou follows suit grabbing your other hand “Pretty please, Teddy?” He whines firmly pressing your hand to his heart.

💥🪨 You buckle so fast it’s not even funny. “Bbbbbbbut...😤😖😞fine.” You concede

💥🪨These two really know how to put on the charm. Especially if Bakugou Kasuki is calling you Teddy instead of Dumbass.

💥🪨 “Great! Y/n, pick out a show to watch before we start.” Baku barks handing you the remote. “Why?” You question snatching it and putting on Criminal Minds. Simply thrilled you were getting to pick (Typically there were mini competitions for such a privilege)

💥🪨 “You’re judging, Bighead. You can’t look til we’re done.” Kiri hums thoughtfully trying to pick a good color combination. Baku already had his colors hidden in his lap before scouting so his hip was against yours sure to obscure your view of your own hand from you.

💥🪨 “Yea, no bias. When I win it’ll because I’m the best! Isn’t that right, Shitty Hair!” The ash blonde smiles cockily at the red head across from him. “In your fucking dreams, Spark plug!” Kiri spits backs just taking all the colors and copying Bakugou’s positioning

💥🪨 “If either of you fuckers, get those polishes on my favorite jeans there’ll be hell to pay.” You warn with a sinister tone to rival even Katsuki’s and the widest smile. The boys shiver at the seriousness behind your smile. Your threat is far from empty

💥🪨 You pretty much figured your nails would probably look terrible with each of your vividly different boyfriends competing with each other. “What do you, dorks, even get for winning?” You muse leaning into Kiri’s broad ass shoulder

💥🪨 “The next date plans and solo cuddles with Teddy Bear for the rest of the night seems fair to me. Huh, Eijirou?” Baku looks up from his work with a self assured grin blowing one of your nails. Vermilion irises float from you to Kiri.

💥🪨 Knowing damn well niether of them could keep you their hands off you. “Deal.” Kiri nods without giving Baku the satisfaction of meeting his gaze.

💥🪨 “Oh and I get shitly painted nails.” You sigh rolling your eyes. You’d be lying if you didn’t find it kinda hawt when they got like this

💥🪨 “There.” Halfway through the 2nd episode Kiri says and finally caps his last polish. Blowing gently across the surface of your nails.

💥🪨 By this time Baku has placed your arm on his lower back and his head in your lap. A firm grip on your wrist so you couldn’t checkout his work until Kiri finished. Your fingers make light circles there despite being held hostage. “Bout time, slow poke.” Baku huffs releasing your arm as you brought both hands side by side.

💥🪨 They had somehow managed to pick colors that didn’t totally clash. Kiri’s hand were mix match rose gold and pink with the teeniest (not to mention even) little white hearts in the middle of each nail.

💥🪨 Baku’s hand was very simple and clean. Black French tips with one red to orange nail with a black X on top as an accent.

💥🪨 You weren’t expecting anything this good. You could barely speak. You hadn’t been this lost for words since they had asked you out. You sniffle a lil bit. Your eyes glass up a little too.

💥🪨 God your partners are so great sometimes. The fact that they genuinely gave a fuck still manages to catch you off guard at times. After so many terrible relationships, effort, in and of itself, is kinda baffling

💥🪨 “Damn Pebs, it’s not that bad if you squint.” Kiri laughs nervously squeezing your shoulders. “Woah there, Teddy Bear, I’ll get the remover.” Baku stands ruffling your curls before you grab his wrist stopping him in his tracks.

💥🪨 “Suki. Eiji. Don’t be mad but I can’t pick! You guys both did really good! Fuck! I couldn’t ask for better lovers. You assholes are so much better than I deserve!” You gush before hiding your face in your hands. A little ashamed you let your boyfriends doing something as simple as your nails make you emotional.

💥🪨 “But Baby you deserve the world.” Kirishima immediately scoops you into a bear hug as he stands spinning you with ease and peppering you in kisses. Kiri places you back down even more gently than picked you up

💥🪨 “Princess, you’re a bad bitch! Don’t you dare forget it!” The shorter ash blonde says unwaveringly lifting your chin so you’d meet his eyes. He softly bops your forehead before kissing it and both cheeks. He pulls you close right as he yanks you up to straddle his waist

💥🪨 “Eijirou, I think our Babygirl needs a reminder of who she is and who she’s with.” His already deep ruby eyes darken lustfully. With no hesitation Kiri is right behind you in seconds

💥🪨 “I know just thing to jog our Pebble’s memory, Katsuki.” He whispers licking the side of your neck just as moves to capture Katsuki’s lips with his own

💥🪨 “Promise?” You moan softly lacing fingers into Kiri’s loose kitchens and trailing a cool hand across Baku’s abdomen stopping only at his joggers waist band

💥🪨 With that the three head to the bed room for some much needed group physical therapy

Transformers Cuddle Headcanons

For Cuddle Up Day 2021.

Transformers Prime, Robots in Disguise 2015 and Rescue Bots

Cuddle Masterlist here

Blades (TFRB):

You are so tiny and when you snuggle into his helm he dies of cuteness 

He never initiates it because he knows he could hurt you if he was a little to rough with you 

When he has a holoform tho, hooo boy 

He is full on all over you when he wants to cuddle

Boulder (TFRB):

He lets you sit between his shoulder and helm 

Sometimes he cuddles you to his chest

He is so gentle there is no way you ever get hurt cuddling him

When he has a holoform he will give you super tight hugs because he finally does not need to be gentle and can hold you tight 

He will fall in love with being a little spoon 

Bumblebee (RID2015):

He is very experienced with dealing with humans and he loved it so much when he is lying down and a human snuggles his helm 

He would be so excited to try cuddling when he has his holoform 

He hyped it so much in his head that it was kinda disappointed irl 

He would be like “and what do we do now?”

He surprises you in his holoform now and then to cuddle 

Chase (TFRB): 

Not a fan of cuddling

Not even when he is in his holoform 

He would very methodically hug you in his holoform whenever you are upset, because he read that physical touch was essential when humans are stressed 

Dr. Graham Burns (TFRB): 

He is awkward during cuddle time, but only in the beginning

He has no idea what to do with his limbs all the time, so you have to tell him before he overthinks it 

Awkward chuckles as you are finally in a comfortable po… no never mind one of you is moving again 

Just cuddling on the couch is easier 

He likes to cuddle, but is uncomfortable doing it with somebody around 

Grimlock (RID2015): 

Ngl you’re scared of this himbo crushing you 

In his holoform he is unlikely to kill you tho 

Grimlock loves to be hugged and petted and cuddled 

He will ask you all the time 

Sometimes he does not ask and just show up in his holoform and find a way to touch you without disturbing you in what you are doing

He is disturbing you and fine let’s cuddle 

Heatwave (TFRB):

Holds you ever so gently to his frame when you’re upset

You have to do a lot of convincing before he agrees to cuddle in his holoform 

He is shocked by how much he likes it 

He is busy af tho, so you have to schedule cuddle sessions

It is ridiculous, but if you don’t something is bound to come up 

But even if you schedule, sometimes duty just calls

Kade Burns (TFRB):

Only a post-coital cuddler 

Not much up for it 

Will still cuddle you if you’re upset or had a bad day 

Puppy eyes will get you everything you desire 

Knockout (TFP):

Ew touching a fleshy

He has a holoform, which he hates

He starts to like it more when you hug him from behind and wow that’s more affection in one second than he has had in eons

Makes time to cuddle a little, but he can’t stand it for super long 

Megatron (TFP):

No time to cuddle… ok a little time to cuddle.

*couple of cuddle sessions later*

“Soundwave, can’t you see I’m busy?”

Soundwave, mentally: bitch you are in your holoform cuddling a human while we are preparing to kill all humans what the fuck 

He likes you sitting in his lap the most 

He does not care how tall you are, his holoform will be taller than you, because he is just like that and also he wants to be the big spoon

Optimus Prime (TFP):

He loves the idea of cuddling, but finds it too risky in bot mode

Holoform however, he loves to cuddle with you

He is very busy all the time, but when you do have time it is filled with cuddles and philosophical discussions 

You also exchange stories about culture with each other 

Predaking (TFP):

He is royalty and expects to be treated as su… he wants to be petted 

Don’t touch him without his permission

If he trusts you, you can just climb all over him and he is cool 

He prefers cuddling in his alt mode 

His holoform is not even human, but a dinosaur/dragon

He wraps himself around you and makes you feel like the most valuable treasure in the universe

No talking, just cuddles 

Well… you can talk, he likes listening to you and learning from you 

Ratchet (TFP):

If you suggest cuddling him in bot mode he will give you a list of safety risks

He double checks if the holoform is even safe for you 

Once he knows for sure, he is willing to cuddle

First time he checks up on you every minute, but he just does not have any experience with cuddling in holoforms 

He does not admit how much he likes it 

He will request it like “if you want to cuddle, I can clear some time in my schedule”

What he means is “hey I don’t wanna inconvenience you, but I’d really like to cuddle”

God forbid anyone sees him doing it though 

Miko caught you guys and he hates it 

Shockwave (TFP): 

Would only cuddle you if he feels like he is in charge of your well-being 

Would even initiate cuddling in that case because of the health benefits 

He would make it a routine and just force you to cuddle when you’re not in the mood

“You may not like this right now, but my research has shown that physical touch will decrease your stress-hormone level, which in turns promotes vital functions of your fragile human body”

He means well

Sideswipe (RID2015): 

He would be really weirded out by the idea of cuddling

Then he has you snuggling into his frame and he melts

It is the first thing he suggests you do when he has his holoform 

Keeps talking during cuddling but it is nice to just sit down together and swap funny stories like that

He moves a little too much tho 

Smokescreen (TFP): 

He would LOVE the idea of cuddling

Ngl he injured you the first time you tried it in bot mode 

Ratchet gave him quite the scolding 

Then he got more careful 

He talks a lot, but he also talks quietly for a change 

Holoform him is still careful, until you play wrestle him and then you lie tangled up, just talking 

He is always down 

Soundwave (TFP): 

You suggest it, he obliges, but finds it highly inefficient to cuddle in bot mode

His holoform does not speak either, but you don’t need him to

He is big spoon

You gotta give him instructions tho, he is a little confused 

Wheeljack (TFP): 

You suggest cuddling and he is like “yeah sure”

He is careful enough not to hurt you but it was c l o s e

He is just as good of a cuddler in his holoform 

Generally not excited about it, but he does enjoy it

Thank you everyone who responded to my shave/don’t shave question. I asked because I was interested in how common it is for people to shave in general, how different people feel depending on their gender and what reasons people have. The overwhelming majority of people who answered me identified as female and shaved either their legs or their pits, or both. I’m going to compile all the answers I got under the cut, except the ones I was asked not to publish, but it’s only fair if I also answer the questions:

1) I identify as female 2) I don’t shave my pits or my legs, and haven’t for several years now. About once every couple months I trim the hair to be about 0.5 cm, but I never shave them completely. 3) As for my reasons: I prefer not to do anything if it’s not necessary, and it’s extra time and money, so since I don’t find it necessary, I don’t do it. Also it hurts my skin and I don’t find smooth skin more esthetically or otherwise appealing. On the contrary, I find body hair very beautiful on a woman. However, I realize that all this comes from a position of privilege: my job and my family/partner do not put any pressure on me to do it. I also already feel like I don’t confine to social norms (I’m fat, almost bald, I never wear make up), so psychologically it’s much easier for me to not feel pressured into it. I think there is nothing wrong with doing one or the other, but I do hope that if you shave only because you feel pressured to, at some point in life you will be in a position to stop doing it. You deserve to treat your body the way you want to, not the way other people tell you to.

Here are the responses:

Do shave:

female ( cis, bi), yep both, and because it feels nice on the legs and is good for pole dancing, and arms because it itches and because i've done it for years so now its a habit! (@coffeebitch62​)

1) I am female 2) I only shave when my armpits or legs are on show and I’m leaving the house 3) I hate saying this but I feel so self-conscious if I don’t shave. Like I feel like everyone is judging me and will think of me in a negative light. I know that most of it is all in my head but it’s hard to turn it all off.

I am female and shave. I hate body hair on humans in general. I just no. I can't stand the feeling of it (I am very sensitive with textures) (@calamityems​)

1. female 2. sometimes but not often (largely dependant on if they'll be visible? so pits more than legs) 3. laziness and no desire to conform to gender norms and expectations, but when i do it's because i don't have enough body confidence anyway, never mind to stand out for non-conformity lol but if i was more comfortable in myself i probably wouldn't shave (@legdabs​)

i identify as a woman, i willingly shave pits but i wouldn't shave anything else if i didn't get pressure from all my family to do it (my friends don't give a shit, but my family are always trying to get me to be/do what they consider more 'feminine' eg shopping, makeup etc etc, and they believe that it's gross and improper for a woman not to shave)

1. female (but I don't let it define me as a person) 2. yes, both sometimes 3. It depends on my mood. I don't like it when it itches, which it's doing right now. I also don't do it sometimes because I think I don't have to just because I am female, an I hate that notion. I do think it can look good, and feel nice but I do believe keeping the hair is healthier and does look good as well. I struggle with it more on the legs, torn between how the hair looks and the itching.

I just recently tried not shaving my armpits (I have otherwise shaved them consistently since I started growing hair there, so it's just very routine) because I had a sore in one that was not healing. It wasn't too bad, but eventually I just wanted nice smooth pits again so I've gone back to shaving them, but I do it less frequently now, and I think the skin is healthier, and I'm no longer bothered by having a little hair there! As for legs, I shave if I'm going to wear shorts or a skirt, and occasionally I just feel like shaving for no reason, but for the most part, in the winter, I let it grow. I have very light and sparse leg hair though.... there is more on my arms but I don't shave that. (@ladycynthiana​)

Kind of (either shave one and not the other, or very rarely):

1) I identify as a female 2) I shave my pits but not my legs cause my leg hair is blonde and I’m half black so when the light shines on the hair it glows. It’s like diy body glitter by doin less work.

I’m female and I shave my pits but rarely my legs. If I’m going somewhere nice or want to feel soft sure. But never for other people. Except pits cause social standards 🙄

i'm female and i shave my legs cause i like the smooth feeling when lying on my side but don't shave my pits

I identify as female and right now my legs look like they belong to sasquatch. I'd say I don't shave more than I do, just because it's a pain in the butt and I don't care how the hair looks. My partner doesn't really care either, although if I do shave, it'll usually get him excited

i tend to avoid exposing my legs, so i can not shave them without social consequences. i do shave my underarms though, and when i have to have visible leg, and i feel bad about it. (@templeofshame​)

Don’t shave:

female and i don't shave anything! being smooth is nice but i love my hair and i feel more myself when i have it! (@tulipau​)

i’m a cis girl and recently i’ve been experimenting with no shaving at all! and surprisingly i actually find myself quite sexy with hairy pits even tho i never wouldn’t have guessed it 👀

ok, now that you're asking: i am a woman and i haven't shaved my legs in the last four years (i'm 23). i do shave my armpits occasionally when i feel like it (depends how much i exercise, if i wear a lot of heavy jumpers that make me sweat etc). i've never shaved my ladyparts bc i take pride in being an adult woman with adult ladyparts. i am not a child. // reasons for not shaving my legs: 1- i stopped shaving bc i was only doing it for other people. my body hair doesn't bother me, i would only do it for the male gaze of our society. and then i realised that it's not my purpose on this earth to be nice to look at. 2- i've actually grown to love my body hair. it is just part of the human body, there's nothing wrong about it that needs to be removed. the human body is perfect just the way we are born. i love how my legs look (i have thin, quite dark leg hair), i love how they feel. if you shave, your legs feel kind of numb. mine don't. i can feel the breeze against my bare legs when i'm outside. 3- it makes me feel strong. idk why, i feel grounded, the same way that wearing combat boots make me feel. // i'm bisexual and sexually active. i've never had anyone be rude. (i keep away from douchebags) // don't be scared people. it's actually not that noticeable as you may think. if you don't come close you don't even see it. and if people look funny bc they see my armpits - it's rly not their business. if they want to look like molerats - i'm not judging either. i wanted to add to/clarify shaving my armpits: i don't like sweating with shaved armpits (eg exercising sleeveless in summer) bc of the wet feeling. on the other side i feel like when i wear thick clothes in winter and i sweat (warm rooms inside), and i DON'T shave, i start smelling (i do use deodorant, don't worry). therefore i will probably shave my armpits in winter and not in summer. most people probs do it the other way lol
