I am usually an incredibly tame person, but one time I was challenged on my usage of the word tits in regards to men, and because I couldn't figure out how else to explain how non-gendered the word is to me I just ended up rather loudly declaring "TITS ARE TITS" and anyway I think about that daily.

I love so many of the relationships (platonic, romantic, or otherwise) of Babylon 5, because they fit in the category of If You Don't Start Taking Care of Yourself, I Will— and I Promise I'll be a Much Bigger Problem About It Than It Already Is. It just depends on the definition of “taking care.”

"[Elizabeth Woodville] was the only member of [Crown Prince Edward of Westminster's] original 1471 council not already on the king’s council and her name headed the list of those appointed as administrators in Wales during Edward’s minority. [She remained on the council after it was expanded in 1473 and granted additional governing and judicial powers]."
"In 1478 Prince Richard married the Mowbray heiress. Like his elder brother he had a chancellor, seal, household and council to manage his estates. His council, like that of Prince Edward, comprised the queen [Elizabeth Woodville] and a group of magnates and bishops, few of whom were Woodville supporters. [...] It was Elizabeth who mattered, for Richard resided with her and Rivers treated his affairs as their own."
— J.L. Laynesmith, The Last Medieval Queens: English Queenship 1445-1503 / Michael Hicks, Richard III and his Rivals: Magnates and their Motives in the Wars of the Roses
#good👏🏻 for 👏🏻 her#historicwomendaily#elizabeth woodville#15th century#english history#princes in the tower#my post#Reminder that these sort of additional official positions in governance were very unusual (unprecedented) for late medieval English queens#Elizabeth's formal appointment in royal councils (+ authority over her sons) should not be ignored or downplayed in the slightest bit#It should instead be considered one of the most defining aspects of her queenship that spanned over a decade and lasted right till the end#& should also be highlighted as one of the most vital topics of discussion when it comes to broader queenly power in late medieval England#I think it also says a lot about Elizabeth's relationship to Edward IV and the regard he seems to have had for her capabilities#'The only member of the original 1471 council not already on the king’s council' that speaks VOLUMES. Once again: good for her.#It's also really frustrating how some historians (Katherine J. Lewis; AJ Pollard; Laynesmith etc) have incredibly lopsided perspectives on#Elizabeth that fundamentally *do not work* when you remember these actual facts and what they reveal about her power and influence#I'm also still baffled at Lynda Pidgeon's claim that 'Elizabeth's influence with Edward IV was less than with family members who were#part of the king's council or that of her son Edward prince of Wales'. Like???????#First of all - we *already know* that Elizabeth had the most personal influence with Edward and was the one he trusted the most#The case in 1480 & his own will in 1475 (where he referred to her as the one 'in whom we most singularly place our trust') make both clear#Second of all - ELIZABETH WAS LITERALLY ON HER SONS' COUNCILS HERSELF. HER NAME HEADED THE GODDAMN LIST. How have you missed this????????#It's actually bizarre because it completely ignores the fact that 1) Late medieval queens *weren't* generally given positions like this?#If we accept Pidgeon's (false) interpretation we have to claim that NONE of them were influential at all#Which I'm pretty sure nobody agrees with? So why have I seen people agreeing with Pidgeon's FALSE take on Elizabeth based on that lmfao?#2) Elizabeth WAS in fact given such positions. She genuinely was given unusual authority and was an Exception™ rather than the rule#Forget emphasizing her atypical role - Pidgeon has outright erased it in an effort to diminish her#She does the same thing when talking about Elizabeth's role after Edward IV's death and it's equally ridiculous and incorrect#There's stupidity and then there's willful misreading & rewriting of history according to your own imagination. This fits the latter

I love this guy. Would not suggest his stuff to anyone who loves Sasuke, but everything else he says is great and this is one of the things i love the most.
My favorite part is him talking about the sage of the six paths recognizing Sakura as a part of team seven and giving her the power to heal Kakashi's eye (though i hate that they just gave him a new eye) and save Gai (instead of Naruto getting that ability for healing when he has never had an inclination towards healing)
I would so watch a Naruto story redone with his version of Sakura.
(I know what the title says but he admits himself that as much as he doesn't like Sasuke the story would end without sasuke so obviously he's just being extream in the title. his main point in that regard is Sakura should have been allowed to fight sasuke and back him into a corner without Kakashi and Naruto having to swoop in and save her)

Nah, lol. "Chat" is ABSOLUTELY second person. "Chat" is the term for "you" (plural) or "you all." It is identical (as many comments have already pointed out) to addressing your readers, listeners, or audience.
The fourth wall has NOTHING to do with pronouns. You are counting different things. First-, second-, and third-person pronouns cover all pronoun use cases in English.
The "fourth wall" refers to the fourth "wall" of a stage set, with the first through third walls literally being the other three walls of the stage (sides and back). They are physical objects. The fourth "wall" is less physical, being the imaginary barrier between the performers and the audience.
"Chat" IS second person. When you address any person, anywhere, whether near you or in some metaphysical plane of reality, that is second person, because that is how second person is defined. It's the direct addressing of an audience. Near vs far, and defined vs undefined forms are irrelevant: it ALL falls under second person.
Also, "breaking the fourth wall" (speaking in second-person) really only has relevant meaning when you disrupt an otherwise self-contained story to do it. If you're constantly speaking to your audience via live stream, or if narrating at the audience is the literal premise of your production, you don't have a story with a "wall" to break. These types of productions have been around forever anyway, such as in stand-up comedy or documentaries or Q&As on any number of productions. Streaming makes it more accessible to access your audience in the moment of production, so that's neat, but I wouldn't say it's shockingly new. Theater has done it for ages.
Anyway, regardless of how you think of 4th-wall breaking and when it applies, it is second person. 4th person does not exist.
Also, "chat" isn't even a pronoun. It's a NOUN, just like reader, listener, or audience.

Give me all the Problematic details on Thyrias and Actias
Thyrias:
- Abandoned his son for like over a year to be the inquisitor
- Got into not one but two romantic relationships during that time
- Did not warn his son about that before showing up to be a dad again
- Was/is(?) A spy for Briala. Doesn't tell anyone in the Inquisition about this until After Celene is assassinated and Gaspard is installed as Briala's puppet.
- His relationship with Dorian starts off pretty fucked up. (You ever hook up with a guy you don't like because you feel guilty at the idea of getting into an actual romantic relationship again because your husband of like 10 years was killed two years ago and you are Absolutely Not Over That? But then you start actually liking that guy and it's a Whole Thing)
- His son realizes he is a mage while he is gone, and then when he shows back up he just kinda throws his Tevinter Human Mage Lover at his Former Orlesian City Elf Dalish Mage Son for magic lessons and doesn't think through why that might not be a good idea until shit has hit the fan.
- Spends more time lamenting to Bull about how he is bad at communicating with his son. Than he does communicating with his son.
- Spends too much time thinking about how he used to have a good relationship with his son and trying to methodically pick apart what went wrong. Does not spend enough time actually hanging out with his son.
Actias:
- Looks at his group of friends and strongly considers himself to be the only normal person amongst them. (He just has a different brand of autism. Nobody would consider him normal.)
- Despite his Dad being The Inquisitor he hates the inquisition and everything they stand for.
- Because of this he does Not get along with Harding
- In spite of all of that he's still Rook? Bro? You could have said no. You didn't have to agree to help Varric.
- Very grumpy brusque guy. Does not have time to play nice. Will not apologize if people are upset by this. Thinks it's their problem for taking him in bad faith.
- Never really fully forgives Thyrias for the whole. Becoming the Inquisitor thing.
- Saves Minrathous over Treviso fully just because his favorite dad is there.
- Look communication is a two way street here. Half the reason Thyrias sucks at talking to Actias is because Actias acts like he doesn't actually Want to talk to Thyrias.

I appreciate how Paradise Killer takes the Ace Attorney approach to a trial - as soon as you nail the right person, they start having a total breakdown and name every co-conspirator they had, but if you fuck up then the original defendant dies even if it's excruciatingly clear that not only did they not do it, they're the only person who couldn't possibly have done it

Anne de Pisseleu had exercised a form of power that was intrinsically extra-institutional and dependent entirely of the king’s favor; her role was clearly understood by political insiders. Criticism took the form of conventional hostility to the role of women in power, yet in the king’s lifetime had to be circumspect and oblique. However, she lived more than half her life after the death of the king whose love had given her power and wealth. In this, she weathered the storm of disgrace remarkably effectively, carved for herself a new role and ended her life a moderately wealthy woman whose assets became a matter for ferocious competition among her relatives.
— David Potter, "The Life and After-Life of a Royal Mistress: Anne de Pisseleu, Duchess of Étampes"
#historicwomendaily#Context: She lived for over 70 years and was a royal mistress for only 20 of them (till Francis's death)#anne de pisseleu#french history#16th century#my post#Francis I#queue#I hate how Anne is dismissed and deemed irrelevant after Francis I's death#Most historians merely claim that she was exiled; fell into disgrace and humiliation; and died in obscurity#Kathleen Wellman even goes to say that Anne was shut up by her husband in a gloomy castle for the rest of her life#(And there's always a distasteful tone of wry satisfaction as they say this - as if she was finally 'getting what she 'deserved')#Suffice to say: this idea is objectively incorrect and I hate it#yes Anne DOES seem to have had an incredibly harrowing and horrible experience for a few years after; that should never be overlooked#But as this article says: Anne managed to weather her 'fall' and carve a new role for herself extraordinarily well#It's one of the most interesting things about her life to me#She still had wealth and property which she rigorously administered and expanded; she headed family affairs and arranged marriages;#She and her terrible husband appear to have informally separated (with a formal separation of property) and in his own last will he#flat-out wrote that Anne 'would never take her place as my wife'. She outlived him by around 15 years and 100% got the last laugh.#She also openly embraced Protestantism in the height of the Wars of Religion which was such a major bad bitch move#guaranteeing her both personal protection and material gratification#In fact one of the last known references of her was in 1576 where she hosted a meeting of Protestant leaders in her castle of Challuau#As you can see: Anne transitioned public royal influence to private personal power#But she clearly remained at the heart of politics and war throughout it all and was always relevant
