#radical concept.

@falling-hand-in-unlovable-hand + @babblish, from (this fic author meta meme)

here's the thing tho: you're both right.

wizards introduced a trio of the tightest, coolest antagonist concepts in the entire toa franchise. it then proceeded to run them directly into the ground through a combination of 1.) rushed writing (wizards) and 2.) bad writing (rott). it's late and i'm not particularly interested in beating this crumbling horse skeleton for the nth time in public, but i'm on my soapbox and the editor has already eaten one version of this post.

the order should be scary. these are the things merlin is afraid of, or at least that he doesn't want to tangle with head-on. they made morgana. but that means nari is scary, too. which is borne out! in her very first appearance, she's the one merlin (!) turns to for help; she's the one who boosts camelot, singlehandedly, to stand against bellroc and skrael. her second appearance introduces her as a necromancer, one, again, powerful enough to accomplish (as if in play) what bellroc and skrael cannot, even working together. she also straight up kills humans at killahead, handily, and never once uses magic to do it. most importantly: her dialogue consistently places her as "one of the order," even if she's currently apart from the other two.

but wizards fails to take its own premises seriously. nari should be terrifying; but the narrative presents her as charming, sweet, having done terrible things but ultimately "heroic," concerned with setting things right. but by her own definition, she's still one third of the arcane order. gdt's entire brand is monster apology. more importantly, we have MULTIPLE on-screen attempts to reach out to "villains" in both trollhunters and 3 below. jim tries to make a connection with fucking bular, of all people! so what's stopping us from extending the same gracious assessment to bellroc and skrael?

"uh, they can't be three-dimensional, they're the bad guys."

a lazy, flimsy justification. and one that doesn't hold up if you've watched even one (1) season of the previous franchise installments.

something that makes me absolutely batty about dog fancy in general is how no one will acknowledge that the whole concept of Preservation Breeding Because Dogs Are Our Cultural Heritage requires a minimum level of buy-in of nationalist concepts. like. this is baked in and unavoidable. insane

the idea of playable zelda in itself is really cool, but then i think of how her 'type' of character typically gets animated/sounds/treated and i just shrivel up inside

the only way id accept if it was like fromsofts way of doing it, which is there is literally little to no difference no matter who you play as, but we all know nintendo would never lol

radical thought: batman knows shazam is a child but makes precisely zero effort to parent him

riz gukgak is SO distressing to have as a favourite character I can never funckign rest out here

[weirderscience]

i hate the idea of "social contagion" so fucking much... if people were so easily fucking influenced i would have been a cisgender neurotypical woman in response to the first attempts from my parents to make me "normal"

Whether or not the adage that chronic stress is as bad as smoking is or true or not, hearing that and knowing that a huge stress factor is often one's continued financial, housing, and food security really should radicalize more people. The idea of stress being damaging to long and short-term health should make you stop and wonder what contributes to stress in the first place, and if preventative measures would inevitably be a net benefit to the overall health and wellbeing of everybody

Hey @ trans inclusive radical feminists, how do y’all beat the terf accusations while also talking about sex based oppression as a form of misogyny? I literally highlight my support of trans people in my bio and my pinned post and just got hit with a terf accusation :/

[hadesoftheladies]

How dare feminists center women’s struggles and define male oppression from the root lol. Feminists too smol brained to understand dialectical materialism. Feminism is a device of division that should be stopped. Feminism is . . . uh . . . racist. Feminists don’t understand women’s liberation or class struggle. Even the Marxist feminists are just uh . . . revisionists because Marx and Engels were already pure and perfect feminists with pure and perfect analysis

Women whining about their oppression is dividing the proletariat. Women don’t deserve their own political party that centers them lmao? There’s uh, working class struggles we all have to fix first! Then women will be free! If we were all just commies and marxists and people just understood that capitalism and imperialism (male-created) were abolished, men would be nicer and normal to women and women’s issues would evaporate! Because that’s worked so well before! Obvi!

feminists women are so stupid and don’t understand anything

feminism has done nothing for actual people men

it is actually possible to raise your chances of birthing a babygirl. this is for the women who would prefer a female child, for whatever reason

Before conception, eat foods that are low in sodium and potassium and high in magnesium and calcium.

The sex should happen 3-4 days before your ovulation. Sperm with Y chromosomes have a short lifespan, so all the Y carrying sperm will practically die out by the time your egg arrives.

This is something I learned in gynecology and if anyone needs sources, I can add some but as per usual, I have low blood sugar don’t feel like digging up all the evidence. And keep in mind, you can decide to just not believe me, before anyone calls bs. Just wanted to share this for those interested in this topic. I also probably phrased my sentences badly because, again, low blood sugar and Im also not native english.

Which version of this do you prefer?

i really hate how discussions about modesty culture, especially ones mandated by religion, are immediately shut down by the liberal/choice feminist crowd

everytime someone brings up a legitimate criticism of how a non-western religion make women follow the most ridiculous rules and strict dress codes and they would come in the discussion like "so women cant be modest now? must all women show skin? what about the women that CHOOSE to follow these rules?"

first of all, no. women can be modest. when most feminists criticize modesty culture, it's not just the way the woman dresses, it's about how a woman is controlled. most victims of modesty culture are controlled--mainly by men and those in positions of power--to not only dress a certain way, but to act a certain way.

second of all, some women have chose to embrace modesty culture--and? what about the women in these countried fighting against it with every fiber of their being? what about the women and girls forced to partake in it or be killed by their own familes or even own governments? are their experiences not valid enough simply because a few women decided to welcome their subjugation in open arms?

are you seriously going to say we are not allowed to criticize religions other than Christianity that partakes in treating women like this? I know you want to be seen as progressive, but I don't think it's progressive to defend the suffering of women just because the ones upholding the rules are from non-western belief systems.

“I come in peace!” - B3t@

An out of this world character who travels to earth with no plans of world domination, absolutely none! He’s the main character of a later concept I’m working on. Moving away from my massive dnd craze last year, I’m posting the final images of that before showing off my newest original content.

This guy is a part of that movement~

Transmasc terfs are the dumbest motherfuckers alive. "Yeah I transitioned to escape misogyny" no you fucking didn't!!! "I'm a trans man therefore I'm a woman" THAT'S NOT HOW THAT WORKS AND YOU KNOW IT!!! Stop fucking misgendering yourself and talking about how female you and all other transmascs are in the name of your weird regressive pseudo-feminism holy SHIT
