*getting too in the weeds of the worldbuilding of a horny tumblr post* Okay I get that you're saying princess, but honestly the dynamic you're describing here seems more like you want to be a duchess or even a lower noble

You wanna be the villainess in an otome anime

This has nothing to do with historical accuracy by the way. It's about the genre conventions and the internal logic of the scenario. If you wanna be a princess getting kidnapped by a dragon or running of to faerie, go for it. If you wanna be a prize locked away in a tower, or an aspiring despot, be a princess.

If you want to have an intense homoerotic rivalry with another girl you met at magical boarding school, you're the daughter of a marquis at best.

"ICE said they would release this person if we got 10k signatures in a week!"

Call me heartless but... That's obviously not true and you're probably sharing a phishing link.

reading a historical romance novel and reflecting on the way these stories often present woke nobility for the contemporary reader. a big thing is servants. you can’t not have servants in those times but many modern readers think “but I would never have servants. it would be so weird to have servants” and in order to make the protagonists of the story more relatable they are actually friends with the servants. but flip your perspective and think of it from the side of the servants. wouldn’t it be so awful if your boss was always trying to be friends with you. a really common thing you’ll see is the woke baronet having tea in the kitchen with the servants bc he’s not like other baronets. but what if your boss wanted to hang out and talk during your lunch break every day. not so charming when you think about it that way

Stealing this from twitter but I liked the concept: put in the tags where were your 8 great-grandparents from (given modern borders) ?

The fact that we can get so combative over the right characterizations of the gods when, as an example, Istrus in the Hellenistic period could just present Artemis as being in love with a man and even coming close to marrying him...

[deathlessathanasia]

The truth is that a lot of the things some of us Greek mythology enthusiasts take issue with when it comes to contemporary approaches to Greek myth already existed in antiquity. Purposefully changing a myth or figure to fit the needs of the story one wanted to tell? Rejecting earlier accounts and labeling them false in contrast to one's own true account? Passing judgment on the morality of various figures? Mocking the gods? Allowing them to exist outside rigid lines of acceptable behavior as in the case above where a famous parthenos wants to get married? All of that and more.

Beautiful: a child has drowned and returned from the other side with a report of going to the afterlife. "When I arrived in heaven I was greeted by a mammoth-headed man who said 'I am Anghprett Vul, sky god of the one true religion'. I asked 'who are you?' and he said 'we visited a tribe of Neanderthals and gave them our teachings but then a landslide killed them'. I asked 'so do I have to bring back your faith and believe in it?' and he said 'we don't really care". Find his book at your local apatheist bookstore today

I’m not saying it was a good idea but every society has tried to solve the problem of “society needs organization to function but power tends to corrupt people” and I like how ancient Rome’s answer was the position of the tribune, where you get to have unchecked power with no accountability for one (1) year but after that you’re just a guy and everyone you pissed off can beat you to death with hammers.

You get 1000% more ok with urself when u stop wearing make-up and I won't argue with anyone on this it's true

And wearing makeup requires much more than just applying makeup. If you want it to keep looking the same all day, you have to check frequently to see if your eyeliner is smudged, or your lipstick is on your teeth, or you’ve sweated off your foundation.

You have to keep your hair out of your makeup, put on and remove clothing carefully, remember not to touch your face or rest your face on things, not let yourself sweat or cry. Wind and water can ruin your makeup, kisses or caresses from loved ones can ruin your makeup, eating food can ruin your makeup, your cat nuzzling you can ruin your makeup, rolling in sand or grass or soft blankets can ruin your makeup, physical exertion can ruin your makeup. Anything spontaneous and exciting and joyful can ruin your makeup.

Even if you want to keep applying makeup, it’s essential to get to a point where you’re ok with it getting smudged or coming off, because maintaining the perfect face of makeup often comes at the cost of living your life to the fullest.

i'll read a romance story & get pissed off when there's more romance than like, legal consequences for the love interest's brother's company that is implicated in some sort of scandal based on a minor subplot

Someone who happens to be filming in a spacious room: "Here's a clear demonstration of how to do this simple sewing technique!"

Some clown in the notes: "Ugh I can't stand these useless tutorials by rich people, not everyone has access to bougie shit like "flat surfaces" and "thread" and "chalk"."
