but fr outside of my contracted madness i absolutely refuse to give joe alwyn gold rush like how is that song at all related to their relationship the lyrics clearly spell out a relationship that either never existed or only existed in implication and fantasies and maybe-maybe nots and its so bitter and yet desperately soft in the bridge where it almost projects a sense of envy, of wanting to be them as much as you want them. It continues an interesting oft ignored lyrical trend of taylor wanting just as much to be her lover as to have them, envying their easy charisma (you were flush with the currency of cool/i was always turning out my pockets) or quiet dignity (your integrity makes me seem small) dating back to her earliest songs (the kind of flawless i wish i could be). Theres a projected self hatred and yearning to be better that twists itself into both romantic and sexual lust for her partners thats so fascinating and speaks to how all of her songs regardless of who theyre about are also an act of self reflection on who she is and who she wishes to be.

if u didn’t know btw kiyuu’s first thought about jack was “woah… intimidating;;” and “he can bring me comfort (by laying on top of me)”

It’s time for ur timely, random fun Kiyuu fact!: She has sleepwalking habits that are caused by stress and fatigue, which was in the earlier books when she first arrived and didn’t have anything to call her own. She gets better with it when she starts becoming more integrated into nrc, but it does arise occasionally (espc after overblots). She is aware of her sleepwalking habits (only because Ryoko and Grim found out)! She thinks having a weighted blanket would help with it.

it’s projection bc i think heavy stuff on top of me is rlly comfortable aha;;

DO NOT TAKE THIS DRAWING WEIRDLY BTW. idk i felt some need to say that. just in case.

Everytime I see discourse about kink or nudity at pride I get reminded of the time I went to pride a few years ago with my mother and my sibling- who was 17 at the time and is somewhere on the ace spectrum- and about halfway through, the march went under a gatehouse. Some inhabitants were sitting in their open windows watching the parade. Right before we crossed under them, one of them decided to just... take her shirt off. She wasn't wearing a bra. And you know what happened? People whooped and cheered, and then kept walking. That's it. And there were kids around!! They didn't care. My sibling didn't care. My mother, a cisgender heterosexual woman in her 50s, did not care.

This stuff stops being such a big deal when you go offline. It was basically the same amount of boob you'd see in any perfume ad. No one was like 'what about the children?' And if you didn't wanna see it and looked down, no one would've called you a puritanical prude for that. And it helps to remind myself of that everytime I see kink at pride discourse getting rehashed because at actual pride, people don't care.

As much as I agree that it would have been nice to see Charlie snap and rip and tear into somebody (particularly I wish she got a longer fight with Adam) I do not think her going after Valentino would be as good as people think

For starters the point of Charlie in Episode 4 is that she’s meant to make things worse because she doesn’t know the depth of Angels situation. She is breaking Angels boundaries by going to his place of work and talking to his boss, which even outside of the Valentino situation would be a major red flag since she’s doing it without his consent. However adding Valentino into the mix it becomes a worse problem because she, unintentionally, makes things worse for Angel with her meddling. A common problem where trying to interfere between an abuser and their victim will, in the end, only hurt the victim

The same thing goes for trying to confront the abuser on the victims behalf. Her attacking and threatening Valentino would not have made things better for Angel. Valentino would have just lashed out at Angel later or put him into dangerous situations during shoots. Because in the end, Angel’s soul belongs to him and at this time we don’t know if Charlie even has the power to break such deals. And even if she did have such power, her doing so without Angel’s permission would have also been a problem.

Story wise it would have been an incredibly terrible writing choice. Charlie coming in to play savior would have erased any agency Angel has over the situation, instead turning him into a prop to make her look good. He’d be less of a character for it, even if the story was rewritten to explore the aftermath of working for Valentino. Because Angels story about finding his own agency again and bettering himself is enhanced by the fact that it’s showing him breaking away from Valentino, hitting a high point where he stands up for himself, setting his own boundaries, at the club despite being aware of the consequences.

And even when Valentino hits back, Angel has his friends to fall back on. Husk and Cherri are there to be supportive, which is what Angel needs at that moment. In general, this is the best way to help victims of abuse. To be there for them and support them as much as you’re able to until they can break things off themselves. Trying to step in when they’re not ready might drive them further away, and even put them in more dangerous situations.

In the end, maybe the show will have somebody stepping in to be his savior. Given the way it has gone so far though, I do hope it comes about by Angel turning to his friends for help in leaving/breaking the contract. I think it would be a much more fitting way for the show to go, and tie in nicely to how Angel says in Episide 4 how he doesn’t need saving. Because Angel can handle himself, but he now has a support network he can turn to to back him up with just one word

maybe it's silly but it enrages me so much that approach to yiddish thats like here are witty jokes! here are funny words! here are some tonguetwisters! i see no difference between this and the germans that treat it as a dialect lol. whole ass 1000 years old language with like 6 different linguistics influences and a bunch of variants and usages around the world but lets point at bobe saying oy vey and laugh

this is just me being petty over fandom-nonsense, but as a poc whos been reading dunmeshi for 6+ years, seeing white anime-onlys make posts about the characters of color that are inaccurate at best (and racist at worst) while woobifying white characters is so annoying

feeling like thistle, get these white interlopers out my dungeon

zesty lowkey just another way for str8 ppl to say faggot / faggy and get away with it

[rouge-the-bat]

something i love discussing with others is the different ways people experience kin bc its so interesting the vastness of how everyones personal experiences with it can be. i really dont get people that will be like "kin is only ever LIKE THIS! everyone else is fake!" or trying to act like people with kin past lives (or anyone that "takes kinning too seriously") are crazy. like just!!! how do yall not enjoy the vast and unique experiences of other people!! how do they not fascinate you!!! its INSANE to me

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.

hm ok so i’ve been having increased bloating, swelling, fullness of abdomen, constant stabbing pain on the lower right side of my abdomen that i initially was sure was scar tissue…..but now i wonder if it might be my ovarian cyst having…ruptured maybe?

cuz i’ve also gained 11lbs in 7 days with no change in lifestyle, and my period which i just got yday (early) is EXTREMELY heavy, so so much more blood than i’ve ever had before

and the swelling is gradually going down as my period goes on

this is NOT pms btw this is completely different pain and swelling than my usual pms. i have never gained 11lbs of swelling from my period (only ever from extreme inflammation and edema after surgical trauma)

so maybe that horrible pain was it having ruptured? maybe crossfit finally did it idk

EDIT: i got in for an appointment tmrw so hopefully insurance won’t deny it again 😭
