can bugs get fat
No
Don't get it twisted, this transfem banwave isn't some fluke. This is targeted harassment and fully intentional on behalf of tumblr staff. If it wasn't, it's not hard for them to clear that up! But instead they silence the people who speak up about it and only make it louder and more obvious. Be there for your sisters.

Theres the lil thang
"t4t lesbian" is like saying "lesbian transbian"
and even with the redundancy trans men will still assume that theyre included in that attraction
true and depressing as hell
So Iâve discussed before on this blog how my grandmother just refuses to drink water and now itâs landed her in the emergency room.
(Sheâs gonna be fine sheâs just a little bit stupid)
I tried to get her daughter on the phone in order to yell at her for me but her daughter is on an international flight right now so Iâve gotta do it myself.
She almost fell over and I was like did you drink water today and she was like âwell I had a tiny glass of juice with my pillsâ
Lady that is not water please for the love of holy Christ Jesus Iâm trying to keep you alive here
Anyways all of you also drink water please especially if you have a health condition. Itâs hot outside this time of year in the northern hemisphere.

I have kind of a niche political view on tumblr, which is that I think misogyny is bad even when itâs just hurting women
and I donât even think it needs to have a singular benefit for men for feminism and the abolition of patriarchy to be worthwhile
in fact the abolition of patriarchy could be a net loss for men and I would still think that feminism and the abolition of patriarchy was worth it
Every work of art says things the creator hasnât considered, but if youâve really thought about what youâre trying to say then generally the additional dimensions you didnât know it had are in alignment with your purpose, whereas if you think youâre making no cultural comment at all you are actually making a LOT of cultural comments, most of which will be unflattering to you
Porn is one of the most culturally rich types of media imaginable so the answer is: you cannot do this
âI donât want to make anything with cultural dimensions. Thatâs why I only write within the genre that is legally sequestered away from every other kind of storytelling because of my cultureâs attitude towards depictions of sex.â

A criticism I do have to have for Robin Hobb is that she loves pairing young women with men who are older than them in quite a significant way. I get that a big part of it is grounding the setting in a world pre-modern medicine where having children early gives you the best chance of success so it would make sense for women to marry young but not necessarily the men. And that point is bolstered by the fact that Rain Wild Trader boys also are expected to marry as teenagers because their people die young. Itâs also a mainstay trope of medieval-esque fantasy.
But it does feel a bit weird, 6 books in, that the downsides of this dynamic arenât really explored⊠at all? And the majority of these relationships are treated as regular romance? Like Malta is 14 and Reyn is 19/20? And even in-universe Maltaâs mother is like âhmm she is a bit youngâ and a huge part of Maltaâs story is about her maturing to become a woman. So it feels weird thatâin a story about exploitation of women and girlsâ 14 yr old Malta gets paired with a grown man. Like heâs 20. But the thing is he ACTS like a teenager. So I donât know why she didnât make him, like, 17/18 (especially when he is from a society where it is normal for boys to marry as teenagers!!!)
I thought she was going to go into it a bit back during Farseer Trilogy with Kettricken being 18/19 in comparison to her 30 something yr old husband. Like maybe this isnât the healthiest dynamic, especially when she is coming from a foreign country with a completely different culture? And that, perhaps, their age, maturity, and cultural gap would cause problems in their relationship buuut no. No this was a good arranged marriage and they loved each other very much.
Meanwhile the reverse just isnât happening. Wintrow is presented as young in a way that Malta isnât by the end of the story despite him being OLDER than her. Heâs too young for Ettaâs tastes (though itâs implied that may change as he gets older and they may end up being a couple). So I highly suspect that this is Robin Hobbâs own biases and tastes coming in with regard to boys and girls. Like âgirls mature into women far before boys mature into menâ so a girl has the maturity to be with a much older man and the reverse is untrue. She is clearly uninterested in writing teenage boys as romantic interests for her teenage girl characters. The only teenage boy to get it with a teenage girl so far is Fitz, the POV character and, not only is he written as a bad boyfriend, he straight up loses the girl to THE MAN WHO RAISED HIM (although Iâm not clear on what Mollyâs actual age was by the time she got with Burrich).
Iâm curious to see if she does get into this a little bit with later books.
Ok so Robin Hobb apparently married her own husband (a mariner, of course) when she was 18. It all makes sense now. If her husband isnât hairy, dark haired (at least when he was younger), and broad shouldered Iâll eat my own shoe.
