Women doing dumb shit together 🤝

[lgbtlunaverse]

So I've been wondering about one particuar point on the "Jiang Cheng marriage recquirement" list and it's the one about low cultivation.

Now on its face, except for the "must be nice to jin ling" point, the whole thing just looks like the most standard list of "ideal wife characteristics under a patriarchal society." naturally beautiful, graceful and obedient, coming from a good family, voice not too loud, etc. This leads to either the interpretation that jiang cheng really wants that (doubt dot png) or just... put all the most stereotypical things on a list even though that's not what he really wants.

In that context "cultivation must not be too high" sounds like a typical "men are scared of women who are smarter/stronger" thing. you know, the dudes who feel 'intimidated' when their wife or girlfriend makes more money than them.

...Except wasn't Yanli openly mocked for her low cultivation? Like, wasn't one of the reasons Jin Zixuan was such an ass to her initially because he shallowly assumed her lower cultivation made her an unworthy marriage candidate? Jin Guangshan may hate women who can read but society overal doesn't give the impression that high cultivation in women is seen as something undesirable. I mean... a wife that never looks like she's over 20 even as she starts aging? yeah I have no problem believing a misogynistic society is okay with high cultivation.

So if it's not there just to fit the stereotypical standard of an ideal wife...

Jiang Cheng, are you just describing your sister?

LIke?? Every single point on this list applies to Yanli. All of them. I don't mean this in a freudian incest-y way but in a "jiang cheng are you so unaware of what you want in a partner you just took the only woman you've had an unambiguously good relationship with and hoped no one would notice???" way. Does he know the difference in what you should like about your sister and what you should like in a spouse? Is he even aware he's doing this? Jiang Cheng answer meeeee.

If you were worried about me so much that you called me twenty times, what's scaring you now? It's just the kind of person I am. This is what I'm used to. This is comfortable to me.

MY SWEET MOBSTER - EPISODE 9

[peachfruitcake]

did you hear about what Martin said about Susan and Linda on the Twitter space he hosted on the 27th? i thought of you instantly when he started talking about them and have been waiting for you to post your thoughts! :-)

HEHE YES IM THE ONE WHO’S QUESTION LED TO THAT!!!!!

Now for those who didn’t listen to that space, Martin said that Linda called her to say goodbye but never specified how it went of course. Besides “hey Susan I’m leaving sorry this is really impacting my mental health” “gaaaaaaaaaaey”/j

This is all a personal headcanon but I like to think that their friendship grew incredibly distant ever since Linda married Felix, Susan probably stopped talking to her altogether for a while and it would leave Linda very confused and upset. They might’ve started talking to eachother again a little bit as the series of events began to approach but only very brief small talk, maybe Linda complaining a little and giving Susan a few life updates and them both talking about stuff they’ve been noticing with others lately (especially Felix’s drinking), but nothing deeper than that.

I see Susan being extremely emotionally closed off to most people except maybe a select few that she knows very closely, so if you were to ask her what’s going on in her life she’d give you a very vaguely watered down version and not what’s actually going on or how she’s really managing herself emotionally.

So basically she used to be more open with Linda, but during that period she sort of just started treating her like a stranger.

So when Linda called her first to tell her that she’s finally leaving, Susan acted how she usually would, keeping it calm, understanding and respectful and wishing her luck, but she won’t really show any more than that. Or that she cried later and felt pretty bad that they couldn’t be so close anymore and that she’ll probably never be able to make up for herself acting so distant for the past many years again.

Of course this all comes from how I view Susan as a character myself though and also the fact that I refuse to pass up the idea that she has feelings for Linda. I like to think that she introduced her to Felix cuz Linda was getting more desperate to find a relationship and Susan was getting weird thoughts so in a panic she shoved her off to him so she could avoid the urges. They’ve been boiling within her since highschool and she always was able to push them aside or excuse them as “she’s just my very close friend I don’t have many close friends so she feels extra special” and as the years went by they began distracting her a lot from her work and were growing stronger and more unavoidable aaand they were really beginning to affect how she’d interact with Linda and you see Susan hates feeling like another has any control over her and Linda just wouldn’t shut up about hooooow badly she wants a relationship and hoooow many dates keep failing and Susan was at the point to where she was starting to get the kind of dreams that make you stare up at the ceiling in horror when you open your eyes in the morning so one day when she overheard Felix speaking about being single and wanting to start looking around, she decided to introduce her to him. Susan allegedly never finds a problem she can’t fix in some way so that was her solution.

They hit it off, Susan’s solution isn’t working for some reason cuz she doesn’t feel any relief at all and in fact feels worse but just sucks it up and just focuses on her work and looks the other way. Linda and Felix get married, Susan feels like throwing up the entire day and now feels somehow even more worse by now and suddenly whenever Linda wants to chat she’s suddenly always “busy” every time. Susan’s often busy anyways but you know yourself when there’s a difference between “shit I’m busy that day, let’s do Sunday instead” and “Sorry I can’t, I’m busy”, “I don’t know when I’ll be available.”

While Linda and Felix were dating, Susan probably assumed that she was just jealous that she couldn’t have a little fun at her age herself. When they got married, Susan told herself that she’s probably so depressed over it cuz it’s making her feel like she’s fallen behind others her age and that maybe she feels bitter that all of these people are moving on and going through these important life stages while she remains behind. Which made no sense otherwise cuz Susan couldn’t give any less of a fuck about starting any sort of family or going out. But that’s what Susan would tell herself that she feels so she wouldn’t have to think about it any further. By the time Susan thinks she’s over whatever it was, she begins having brief talks with Linda occasionally. Not often and still a bit distant, but way better than before.

So yeah can you imagine how shitty and guilty Susan felt that whole time of her weird bitterness toward Linda being in a relationship and not being able to approach her much anymore or how Felix turned out to be such a shitty husband.

If this headcanon is aligned with twf’s canon, she’d probably be dead before she even gets to actually acknowledge and accept her feelings as they are. Such is life though. Not like she could’ve done anything about it.

I really hope that s6 reveals a side of Emilie that Nathalie knew before she become this loving and nurturing mother (that I have no doubt about).

I want to get to know the insane, irrational side of her who would have gone through lengths to have a child of her own. The selfish Emilie who ignored Nathalie’s warning and ignored Gabriel’s pleading.

Ok but can you imagine Emilie stealing the peacock miraculous in the dead of night from Nathalie after she informed her about the consequences of using an unsafe miraculous, after Gabriel begged her to seek a different solution if it meant the cost of her life.

Imagine Gabriel waking up to an empty bed and searching the halls, only to find Emilie. Blue. Dressed in a long gown that oddly resembles that of a peacock tail. In the basement of their home cradling her belly.

‘Emilie. What. Did. You. Do?’

She turns to him and exhales breathlessly

‘I’m pregnant….’

wait. i jusf had a thought. now its been awhile since i read the holiday novella, but wasn’t a major reason feyre was like lets have baby NOW was because of that widow and feyre was like what if rhys DIES i need a piece of him or smth along those lines

but they have a death pact ? so if one dies the other dies ? i mean yeah they technically were gonna have a kid eventually for an heir but i think its silly how quickly they had one and the reasoning is questionable too ? unless im misremembering

Thinking about how Bran tries to apologize to Leah because he knows she's hurt and he's been an asshole but she immediately distracts him with sex to avoid talking about her feelings :)

[animmal]

getting a handle on mavis is kinda 😵‍💫 bc on the one hand she's an empath (literally) and is shown to generally have more emotional intelligence/maturity than dr🅰️x/nebs/rocket combined, but at the same time she apparently saw no problem at all whatsoever w kidnapping kevin 🥓 for peter 😭 which is like???? i mean maybe those two things can be true at the same time but like... How. 😭 is she an empath or is she okay w taking people against their will to give as a present to her brother ?

Um actually, I inhereted all my "masculine" attributes from my mom, so jot that down

Whenever I do have a little nosey about something I'm watching I'm always reminded by why I find fandoms and people really into them deeply off-putting . When they do bother to give their two cents, it's always an issue with something that's so weird it's nit picking or very silly.

The criticism of why does Annette have west African magic Vs Haitian, she's one of the first gen to be born on what will become Haiti. Why would she ? Haiti as a nation had much longer to develop their culture and spirituality without having slave masters and the story starts before Haiti becomes Haiti . Even if this criticism were to have legs, it doesn't take away from the story and the first generations born into slavery are going to have a much stronger connection with west African culture and a different culture Vs some like me or anyone in my family. Their family was literally in Africa yesterday. Come on!!

Do some people understand that first seasons are meant to establish certain things to build on it later? The story doesn't need to happen all at once. ' this wasn't developed ' well duh! We're one season in. Relax! The story isn't over yet

[twopoppies]

Omg gina I just saw this....🥺 what is your opinion about this? like they saying L & H break up in 2014 and just tolerate each other

😔

Love, all of that is such a pile of horseshit. Come on. Ben is married and straight. Nick and Harry never dated. Kendall was a beard. CDAN literally posts whatever the fuck they want.

Also, just look at Larry in 2014. When on earth were they supposed to have broken up? Come on. 🙄🙄🙄
