HAPPY PRIDE

[blumineck]

Inspired by my recent love of the Raven Thrower (it looks like a corvid that you chuck at things!)

Also obligatory reminder that it’s the final week on my Bluminarmour fundraiser. If you want to see me test dumb stuff in proper historical armour please consider pitching in and/or sharing!

The Bluminarmour Project

Blumineck is trying to fun a video series doing fun and serious historical and fantasy testing in fitted plate armour.

Sometimes I think people’s complaints about queer genre fic boil down to them wanting litfic and not knowing there’s queer litfic. If you wish to read about sad lesbian adjunct professors having unsatisfying sex, rejoice! NPR has reviewed it for you

This “reading” thing is fascinating…listening to other people’s perspectives deepens the human experience and could inform my benevolent rule!

You're right! A phonemic alphabetic syllabary based on the actual pronunciation of the words in the language used is certainly a much more conducive way of encouraging literacy among the greater population, allowing the common folk to express (in writing) concepts and terms which the written ideograms of the great Middle Kingdom are not well-suited for (given the great differences in our languages)!

Such increased literacy would allow even the common folk of our kingdom to read the great works of the Confucianists, thus promoting loyalty, filial piety, and virtuous behavior!

I'll have my scholars get to work on it right away!

[swordsman-jing-ke]

LOL it seems we have met the anti-qin shi huang

I was going to cherrypick some highlights out of king sejong’s wikipedia to make him look good, but it turns out its basically all highlights

created think tanks and research grants for doctors and scholars

created an alphabet for the korean people that is easier to write AND better suited to the language.

disseminated ideas by establishing schools, cultural institutions, innovations the the printing press, and the preservation of rare books, leading to a flourishing of art, culture, and intellectual thought

elevated marginalised classes

created policies for the humane treatment of prisoners

forbade imprisonment of people over 70 or under 15

maternity AND paternity leave

also did i mention he was taking steps to ease his son into politics and ensure a smooth transition of power, while he was still alive to do so?

It must be hard for Mrs. Columbo to be a fan of anything. Any time she's into a writer, a movie star, a TV show, her husband comes home and goes "You'll never guess who I met today at work!" and a couple of days later goes "You'll never guess who the murderer was."

Should a romance story (of any media) always have the main LI end up as the MC's main/top/first priority in order for it to count as part of the Romance genre?

Yes

No

Without nuance, though if you want to elaborate in the tags, I'd like to hear your thoughts!

[aromantic-journal]

"everyone should get more aromantic" can appeal to tumblr's sensibilities but I genuinely think everyone should also get more asexual. I don't mean everyone stop having sex, what I mean is

Sex is not essential. You can live without it. Full stop.

Not having sex isn't shameful or a sign of failure. It also doesn't make anyone boring.

You are not entitled to having sex with anybody and nobody is entitled to having sex with you.

Sex is not what makes someone an adult.

Nobody's worth is defined by how much sex they have or don't have.

Sex is not equally important to everyone.

You can have fulfilling and happy relationships without sex.

You should only have sex on your own terms, not because you feel like you owe it to someone, or because you feel like you'd be incomplete without it.

Know your boundaries around sex and be firm about them. Know how to respect other people's boundaries.

The previous point also applies when it comes to discussing sex. If someone doesn't wanna talk about it or hear about it you have to back down.

Anything can be sexual but not everything has to be sexual.
