King: I didn't even know they come in that color.

King: What. How did these four even meet?

Servant: They met in a tavern two hours ago, apparently.

[charlesoberonn]

Queen: My love, please return to bed.

King: *pacing* Why would a gelatinous cube come to a tavern? Can it even get drunk? How did it fit through the doors?

I'm not even disappointed about being wrong, I love that it's kinda evenly balanced?

(The Dragon-lady got my vote too lmao, shouldn't have underestimated the amount of lesbians and strong-woman-kinners on this site)

the idea that hollander "tamed" rozanov is really funny to shane because like. ilya finds it hot and is always going along with it, yes of course my husband is so sexy why do you think i moved to this boring fucking city. for dick. meanwhile shane knows the truth which is that ilya tamed himself. he herded shane like a sheepdog until he was exactly in the right position for ilya to flop down at his feet and say i love you, i am a one man guy, sleep with other people if you want but you are it for me, so shane is always there like ??? ilya. what are you talking about. i was literally prepared to be a secret slot on your roster for the rest of time without even admitting that i was gay until you decided to have me over make me lunch and say my name while you come like a love confession and ilya goes lyubmiyy. shut up. i was untamable you tamed the untamable and so shane has to be like yes, baby, i worked so hard, i used all my tricks but he's rolling his eyes because ilya wants to be a wolf shane coaxed inside to sleep on the hearth but instead he's a cat who snuck through the window and fell in love with his prey. self domesticated. and this is just one of the many perfect games they play

[demonprincex]

statements like "It's wrong to masturbate about a person without their consent" and "It's wrong to do something that quietly arouses you while you are in public even if no one can see it" show that a person's understanding of morality basically involves magical thinking. like I wrote this post on the toilet. That's not the same thing as me literally shitting on you

when i was a tiny baby queer (aka a 24-year-old), i went to my first pride festival probably three months after i kicked ex-gay therapy to the curb and came out to my parents. being the people they are, my parents came with me. they weren’t really sure about this whole gay thing, but they loved me and wanted me to be safe and happy and wanted to be involved in what was important to me, so they came along. (i also think my mother still might have thought i might get drugged or murdered or beaten by a protester of which there were plenty.)

anyway i wanted a memento of my first pride, you know, and this one vendor was selling keyrings, and i liked it, so i bought one. do you remember those italian charm bracelets that were all the rage like 10-15 years ago? it was a keychain like that, and it had a rainbow rooster, a rainbow cat, and then just a rainbow, and so I bought it.

i run into my mom a couple of vendors over and she goes oh you bought something? what’d you get? so i showed her, and i was like, “I’m not sure why it’s a rooster and a cat. Seems kind of random. But I liked the rainbows.”

and my mom, who was some form of minister’s wife for most of my childhood and teenagerhood, stares at me like she thinks i’m joking.

“What?” i say.

“…it’s a cock and a pussy, Jules,” she says flatly, and that is the story of how i died at the age of 24 while attending my first pride festival.

I love how every June this one gets dug up and passed around again, lmao.

*takes the hand of a period drama writer gently* A queen consort is not a queen regnant. A dowager queen is not a queen regnant either.

There is very little intrinsic institutional power in queenship. The power a consort, dowager, or queen mother has depends mostly on how much the reigning sovereign (usually a man) is willing to grant her. Needing a queen to serve as regent is exceptionally rare, and the regent is more often a male relative.

I know this is a bit of a bummer. I'm sorry.

[kaiserin-erzsebet]

For clarity:

Queen regnant: woman who rules in her own right, not on behalf of someone else.

Regent: Someone who temporarily assumes the powers of the monarch on account of the monarch being too young or too incapacitated to govern.

Queen consort: Woman who is married to the monarch.

Dowager queen: Woman who was married to the monarch. The monarch is dead, and she is owed support as his widow.

Queen mother: Woman who is the mother of the monarch. Usually the dowager queen, though there are exceptions if there isn't a straight line of succession.

[khalko]

Some examples from the British monarchy (preferably recent when I can think of any):

Queen regnant: Elizabeth II. She was the eldest child of King George VI, and her only other sibling was her sister (the British throne used male-preference primogeniture for the line of succession until 2015, so any younger male siblings would have inherited it before her), so the throne passed to her on her father's death.

Regent: Richard III. Younger brother to Edward IV and uncle to Edward's sons, Edward V and Richard of Shrewsbury (apparently they liked a naming tradition at that point), who were 12 and 9 respectively when their father died. Strictly speaking, this meant they were first and second in line for the throne when their father died, with Richard III being third in line, but because Edward V wasn't old enough to rule by himself, his uncle became regent. He took them to the Tower of London for safety and then something mysterious happened to them both and he begrudgingly accepted the throne (he very clearly murdered them).

Queen consort: Queen Camilla, wife of King Charles III (the current king) and therefore queen consort.

Dowager queen: Possibly Queen Camilla in future. As second wife of Charles III and not mother to either of his sons (William and Harry both being sons of Charles III and Princess Diana), then if Charles predeceased Camilla, she would become solely a dowager queen, not also queen mother. (Side note: I couldn't think of any historical dowager queens who weren't also queen mothers off the top of my head, so after a bit of Wiki'ing I can tell you the last one for the British throne was Adelaide of Saxe-Meiningen, wife of King William IV and aunt of Queen Victoria; when William IV died without any children to inherit, the throne passed to his brother's daughter, Victoria.)

Queen mother: Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, queen consort of King George VI and mother of Queen Elizabeth II. When her husband died and their daughter Elizabeth inherited the throne to become Queen Elizabeth II, Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon became officially known as Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother (usually queen mothers to the British throne are just styled as Her Majesty Queen [first name], but as navigating these last few sentences has probably convinced you, it would quickly get confusing if her and her daughter were both "Queen Elizabeth"). She was Queen Mother for longer than anyone else in British history, surviving her husband by 50 years until she died in 2002 at the age of 101, so if someone from the UK talks about "the Queen Mother", they're probably talking about her.

Something that I have noticed is I know almost nobody my age that goes to a food pantry. I know people who regularly run out of money for food and in general have to eat an unsuitable diet because that’s what they can afford and they still don’t go to a food bank, im not sure if it’s because they’re embarrassed or maybe if you didn’t grow up going you don’t know much about it but if you’re financially struggling I really recommend it. And look into other options for food assistance too like community fridges and gardens and other programs that can assist you, where I live Salvation Army pays for an allotted amount of grocery delivery for low income people every month, in the summer farmers take excess produce to the library to be taken by anyone who needs it, etc. There are a LOT of resources for free food that you can look into especially if you are literally not eating because of your financial situation

[junglejim4322]

Btw if you have dietary restrictions you can often let them know and in many cases they’ll prioritize certain items for you

There’s nothing I dislike more than when Sheila/Jason’s search for his birthmom is erased or forgotten. It pisses me off whenever it happens and she’s left out of flashbacks and adaptations and it is honestly just as bad when discussions and fan content ignore her completely. Jason wasn’t halfway around the world for funsies ok, he found out he found out he had a living relative and went to great lengths to try and form a relationship with her. You can’t dismiss her role in the story without destroying his character’s motivation. Erasing Sheila erases the choice Jason made to try to save her. He wasn’t being reckless or prideful or hotheaded all he wanted to do was keep someone safe. He died in the most blatant classic heroic way: protecting someone out of the goodness of his heart. That matters (and Batman knew about it because Sheila lived long enough to tell him) so stop ignoring it whenever you talk about what he’s like or how he died.
