I didn't have someone claiming that only royalty at Versailles were allowed any access to toilet facilities, and everyone else had to walk around with miniature chamber pots strapped to their butt under their dress (men were apparently outta luck!) on my "Versailles myth" bingo card, and yet here we are.

Anyone that knows Ben Franklin was at Versailles knows that man would have written home immediately wbout how the women at Versailles walk around with teeny-weeny chamber pots strapped to their bodies underneath their dresses.

Abigail Adams, too, for that matter. Just for different reasons...

I don't see anyone talking about this on Tumblr at all

Please take a small bit of time of time out of your day to go and block a bunch of celebrities that have not talked about Palestine or better yet ha e spend thousands and hundreds of thousands on the MET Gala rather than spending time and money talking about or donating to Palestine

It's already been working! Kim Kardashian came out calling everyone participating in this Block Party "trolls" and that she hopes she sees the number go down faster and she's gonna come find us etc etc

people just ignore Thor was a feral child, huh? like his life goal was probably to demolish another race at age 12 and he was probably begging to go to war and attempted to murder their father for not letting him via telepathy that he didn't have.

Internalized arophobia is such a weird thing. Like, I realized I was aromantic and asexual at basically the same time, but I had a much easier time coming to terms with being ace than I did being aro. My family's fairly religious (and accepting, thank goodness), so the asexual thing was great because that basically meant I'm incapable of committing the sin of lust, and I was always fairly repulsed by the idea of a sexual relationship anyways. But aro? No, no, that can't be right. Not me, right? I remember waiting for my first crush like it would be some kinda orientation box opening where I'd have no idea what I'd get. Even now, loveless aros are still a thing I'm not fully used to. Like, most aros don't care that the allos are allo-ing, they care about the amatonormativity ever present in society that makes it so they should feel obligated to "make up" for their lack of attraction with platonic love, because you won't be accepted otherwise. My internalized arophobia isn't helped by the fact that there's only one other aro person I know, the only reason I found out about it was through a Jaiden YouTube video. I thought the A was for ally for so, so long. There's nothing wrong with an aro showing every person they come across platonic affection, and there's nothing wrong with aros who wanna hide away with all of the garlic bread they could get their hands on and becoming the hermit they were always meant to be. There's nothing inherently wrong with aromantic people who want sexual intercourse. And you know what, I'm probably aegoromantic. Sure, I love my fair share of shipping, but when it involves me? I'd really, REALLY rather not. I'd prefer to live in an apartment complex with people who share my interests while residing with my immediate family and the 12 cats I found on the street. And even though it took me some time, I'm okay with that, or at least beginning to be. I've got plenty of flaws, but not being interested in romance isn't one of them, and it never was. Which is more or less why I've started surrounding myself with the aro/ace flag more often. Because it's a reminder of an aspect of me I was internally bigoted about, even after I incorporated it into my identity and even a bit now.

I'm asexual AND aromantic, and it's so facking cool that I am.

Congrats, you finished reading the ramblings of a queer homo-sapien. Here, have some garlic bread, you earned it:

Let them eat cake

that’s such nonsense i would never say that

nothing hurts more than seeing ur fave character depicted in an official au story or elseworld where details ab them r different but it explores the character in a new way -- its good in a vacuum, but u know it isn't the Definitive Version of that character. Just a new exploration (cool!). but because the adaptation brought in so many new fans and/or was a huge success it ends up being treated like its the Definitive Version and all discussions of prev versions are overshadowed bc of it... even worse when studios / execs see the success and try to pivot to this New Version only and never try to explore new routes for the character ever again (can you tell this is about comics yet)

I am once again thinking about what a brilliant show merlin was, like i just say a merlin edit, a really short but incredibly poignant one, that has left me sobbing in my bed. And it hits me over and over again how this 10 or so year old low budget arthurian retelling is one of the most compelling and heartbreaking and romantic and beautiful and multi faceted arthur retellings and story in itself. As much as the episode plots themselves are sometimes silly (and some held up badly over time or in general) the overarching plot, the themes, the characters, the relationships have this hold on me like nothing else has. The love is so pervasive, so crystal clear and magnificent that the fandom has the same energy as it did when the show aired. Few media reach this. The emotions never go stale.

It's this most epic story and if you ask me what's my favourite Arthur myth version i will tell you. This 2010s low budget BBC show that was only well known in niche circles. And it's the greatest love story ever told (and not just romantic love).

Also the thing about the "what if Marie Antoinette was secretly... a girlboss... 🥺" movies is that the idea of taking the side of the pre revolutionary French monarchy sounds so cartoonishly evil it's unreal. I know that people like to make her into a victim but actually saying that you think that the woman most known to popular culture for telling starving peasants to be more like her did nothing wrong genuinely makes you sound like your political views never moved beyond those of the English upper classes circa 1792
