"You could get up early and do it before work" I could also wait for a magic beanstalk to start growing in my living room LMAO. Let's focus on things that happen in the real world

Howard Ashman saying "I will strangle you" to Jeffrey Katzenberg when the latter wanted to cut "A Part of your World" from The Little Mermaid did more for the history of cinema than any straight man could dream of contributing.

I'm so disappointed with The Economist reporting on Sweden's decision to ban OnlyFans content. Instead of acknowledging how it benefits women's rights, safety, and health, they regard Sweden as a "prudish" country.

Seriously, fuck off.

Good for Sweden, though. ❤️

Hard stories are worth the difficulty. It seems to me the only way I have forgiven anything, understood anything, is through that process of opening up to my own terror and pain and reexamining it, recreating it in the story, and making it something different, making it meaningful--even if the meaning is only in the act of the telling. Some things are absolutely unjust, without purpose, horrible and blinding, soul-destroying: the death of the beloved, the rape of a child. Situations some of us know all too well. There was no meaning in what my step-father did to me. But the stories I have made out if it do have meaning. More importantly, these stories do not function as some sort of retribution. They are redress for all those like me, whether they can write their own stories are not. My stories are not against anyone; they are for the life we need.

From the media that brought you "Millennials are killing [insert industry here]" articles for years and years and years, now we have....

"Hey, Gen Z, we're gonna relabel vacations into something else now and tell you how you really should be wary of taking vacation because it might impact your financial future."

This is a goddamn dystopia, we know this, right?

i like the phrases "it's not for me," "it's not my thing," and "i'm not the target audience" because they're the most concise way to express "this thing that you enjoy has merits but idgaf about it" without being aggressive

I just think that if you’re on video getting punched in the head and then getting dragged around by the sweatshirt because you tried to *leave your hotel room*, then you did not consent to degrading sex with other men.

You knew what would happen if you said no, so you didn’t say no.

If I put brass knuckles on my hands and then ask you to take out the trash while punching them into my palm, then you know what’s going to happen to you if you say no, so you do it.

Why is sex any different.

People know when women can and cannot safely say no, they just don’t care. The jury knew. They didn’t care.

the stupidest thing about them nuking healers from inquisition is they didnt even try to explain it in a way that makes sense. like the response to public dismay over the announcement was "we felt like people were too reliant on their healer companions because of how overpowered they were which led to unbalanced party comps" which is like 1) ok then why wont you just fix your insane combat and tactics system and 2) who are these people youre talking about. getting anders' ai to activate panacea constantly feels like a test of patience from jesus christ himself you cannot look away from him for a goddamn second

last night in bed I had a thought that sent a shiver down my spine and it was: why isn't Leandra more invested in shipping hawke with Sebastian? And the only l answer i can come up with is that she doesn't know he exists because he's dlc. But ohhhhhhhhh. if she did.

The extent to which bioware lives in fear of their own creation (Anders and Justice) always astounds and amuses me. What do you mean you can't handle the symbolism YOU'RE THE ONES WHO MADE IT THAT WAY

they hated that blond freak so much they nuked his entire intangible virtue that's been a consistent theme in the series for three whole games

imagine a world where all the unromanceable charas in dragon age are romanceable and viceversa. Your only options in dao are Sten, Oghren, Wynne and Shale. You cant romance da2 anders cause either him or justice might be dating your chara in awakening. Is Aveline or Varric only. Then Vivienne, Cole, AND NOW leliana because she is single here. Maybe Varric again if he is not dating hawke.
