I think sotl is like the most iconic tortall quartet and protector of the small is definitely the most thoughtfully well written. but the immortals are the most indulgent by a mile. like this was the quartet written for the twelve year old who still lives inside tamora pierce with the handle animaluvr54 and a massive crush on her middle school english teacher. as a huge fan of the 2015 sci fi classic jupiter ascending im obviously v on board with this

Every day I thank god I was raised by lesbians so my mother’s relationship to food and weight was healthy and I didn’t have to see her dieting when I was a child or hear constant negative self-talk about her body

I also can’t overstate what I didn’t have to “unlearn” being raised in a same-sex household. There were no “men’s chores” and “women’s chores”. I always knew I’d be safe if I eventually brought home a same-sex partner.

Also I could straight up leave my journal lying around literally open to the last page I wrote and I always knew she wouldn’t read it.

i don’t understand how neil gaiman intellectual properties still trend on here so regularly he literally trafficked women. like it’s not even a discourse thing or a “he’s problematic” thing he was “cancelled” for human trafficking. he repeatedly isolated women, usually his or his ex-wife’s fans, with no support system for the purpose of raping them while they were dependent on him for income and housing. that’s human trafficking

In 1978 Harvey Milk asked his friend, designer Gilbert Baker to make a symbol that would represent gay pride. Using the U.S. flag as inspiration, Baker hand-sewed the original rainbow flag.

He said each color of the flag represented something that was important to the community. Hot Pink for Sex, Red for life, Orange for healing, Yellow for sunlight, Green for nature, Blue for magic\art, Indigo for serenity and Violet for spirit. The rainbow flag was first flown June 25th 1978 for Gay Pride Day and still stands to this day as a symbol of the gay liberation movement, its history recognized and honored by some of our world's highest, most respectable officials.

Baker lived from June 2, 1951 to his end on March 31, 2017. His life was one of art, design, acting and activism. Though going through many iterations as the battle for civil rights changes over time, Bakers flag continues on as a symbol of pride, acceptance, community, diversity and above all, love.

Remember those who crawled through the mud so you could march forward.

Happy PRIDE month. 💜💙💚💛💗

i saw this post on reddit the other day that said jaime's arc in feast is about him becoming tywin and that's not even worth engaging with for just epically stupid levels of ignoring what's in the text but it got me thinking about how much of feast is jaime mining the carcass of tywin's existence for anything of value

jaime's an accidental and reluctant philosopher but there's this overt hand of george element to watching jaime pick through ilyn payne's rooms looking at the absolute wreck that devoted service to tywin made of ilyn's life and you have jaime there dragging ilyn out of his cave into the sunlight to try to give him a chance at living the sort of worthwhile life jaime imagines he once intended to live

there's nothing subtle in the way this relates to jaime's view of his own life.

then jaime's wandering through the crownlands and riverlands looking at the absolute decimation tywin left in his wake with no delusions about tywin's responsibility for it (or his own tbh) which makes it almost magical when jaime reaches down tywin's gullet into the guts of his dad's advice and legacy and looks at the gore he pulls out, weighing and evaluating what's worth using and what isn't. and then he's like well i can use this song as a weapon, i can use words as a weapon, i can weaponize the horror of tywin in a way that spares people the actual physical harm of tywin's favorite methods as much as i possibly can

In light of the no.1 trending topic on this site, I'd like to inform youse that Kitty Kendall, one of the survivors who bravely spoke out against Neil Gaiman and accused him of rape in 2025, has said here and here that if you are looking to support her and other survivors, you can make a donation to OurVOICE (the counselling service Kendall herself used) or your local rape crisis centre. If you can't make a donation, you can help to ensure people do not forget what Kendall and other survivors have gone through and continue to go through as they pursue legal action, and that Gaiman has already spent a lot of money in the attempt to sue these women for speaking out.
