I feel like the best part about the new april fools groups is that they aren’t even unit swaps. It’s more like groups forced to work together because they got stuck in a specific part of the past/future.

So for all we know, this is in the same universe as the canon story except their sekai bugged and sent them to different time periods (at least sekai versions of different times) which is honestly really funny and compelling. It looks like a unit swap but looking at the names and what happens in the event (??), it’s the equivalent of just some losers who end up on a deserted island with no one but each other, trying to find their way home.

The implications of them having their old unit are funny too cause imagine them sharing this shit with each other 😭🙏🏻 like “emu. WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU BEFRIENDED ROBOTS?? I ALMOST GOT EATEN BY A DINOSAUR?????!!!!”

I love that i've been forced to argue against people telling me i'm naturally inferior for my biology since i was a child, and now i have "feminists" on tt reinforcing the idea and influencing so many young women to internalise and accept the way men see us as lesser than instead of fighting back. Really, I do.

so.. y’all like cowboys ?

inspo for second pic: x

aaa!!! this has been cooking in my brain for a while, i feel like the mafia plot could transfer over in some ways to western cattle rancher type drama

a system of cattle ranches for the major and minor family

instead of bodyguards it’s ranch hands that have been taken in by the heads of the house and live on the property to tend to the ranches (brings in the devotion to the family that way)

from there you can add the power struggle conflict and all that with the smaller ranch wanting to have control of the system

just think about how fun that would be ! i’d like to draw more of the characters /expand on this eventually but idk what do y’all think ? :0

I know many people hate Henry Wotton for being a huge misogynist, but I don’t think they understand that Victorian England was just like that. Because Victorian Society was all about rules, women and men were considered to be of different spheres that never overlapped. Henry, being a lord and thus a member of the upper class, saying “Women are a decorative sex” is less of an insult to women and more of an accurate statement about the roles of the women he’d mostly be around. 

This was just how upper class women were viewed and treated in that time period. In every way, these women (because Victorian Society wanted all women to be like the Queen) were not meant to do much, but change into proper dress when appropriate, host parties and guests, and be on their husband’s arm when they went out. (see 'The Angel in the House' for more info)

Upper class women were literally not dressed to function. Assuming TPODG takes place during the 1880s (it was published in the early 1890s, the society it reflects is probably the 1880s), then they were wearing cuirass corsets, bustles, and pretty heavy petticoats. (this is not a demonization of any of those things—they are all cool on their own, but all three everyday for some odd ten or so years would eventually wreck your body.) These extreme gender roles would not be challenged until World War 1, when women’s roles were expanded in the war because an entire generation of mostly European men died.

Henry Wotton is a bastard man and this is not a post to get you to like him nor to defend the character (he’s fictional, put him in a blender for all I care), but it is to warn against using modern understanding and sensibilities when reading classics. “Decorative sex” is unfortunately what Victorian women were historically seen as—hell, our current modern understanding of women as their own persons and independent force has only existed since ~1900 (thank you, suffragettes). His treatment of women really isn’t any more misogynistic than most men of the time period—he’s a misogynist because most Victorian men (especially upper class) were misogynists.

The score specifically when Pete reaches up to touch Vegas' face is so sweet and gorgeous. They've crafted such a poignant, passionate, heart-wrenching moment, truly cinematic.

Deadass saw a black person on shift tok say they were shifting to the 60s (without scripting out segregation or discrimination) to experience a “forbidden love” with a white person. They said their parents were gonna be Rosa parks and Martin Luther king. Shifters on TikTok are SOMETHING ELSE
