In medieval culture, an event like a royal christening is not a private party; it’s the public social event of the year. To not invite any person of rank to such an event is a deadly insult.

Maleficent is certainly someone you wouldn’t want at a party, but she’s also someone powerful enough that only a fool would ever dare treat her with such blatant disrespect. The only way the King and Queen could possibly have gotten away with not inviting Maleficent was to not invite any of the fairies at all; inviting the other fairies and excluding her is explicitly taking sides in the conflict between the fairy factions.

Which means they made themselves her sworn enemies, and she responded by treating them as such from then on. If you actually get into analyzing the social dynamics of the scene, it’s very clear that Maleficent was willing to show mercy at first by giving the King and Queen a chance to apologize for their disrespect to her. She doesn’t curse Aurora until after she gives them that chance and they throw it back in her face with further disrespect.

And yeah, if the King and Queen had done the properly respectful thing and invited her, Maleficent would have given Aurora a scary awesome present. Moreover so would the other fairies, because at that point both sides would be using it as an opportunity to show off and one-up each other. What they gave her before Maleficent showed up was basically just trivial party favors by fairy standards.

A note on this post:

To my recollection, for a long time Ides of March meming on Tumblr was confined to the day itself. You'd log in on the 15th and your dash would be all Julius Caesar memes and be like ohh it's the Ides of March today, ok!

Over time it has expanded & last year was the first time I became aware of substantial pre-gaming. The Ides of March has been a big annual meme on Tumblr for years but it being preceded by 2 full weeks of people getting hyped up is pretty recent.

There's also recently been an element of hmm almost roleplaying to it? Various newer posts circulating with people pretending like they're personally gonna stab Caesar.

Anyway that's what this meme is in reference to!! thank you 👍

Every time a player brings up what happened previously in the campaign, have them make a history check. if they fail, the DM retcons the story.

the way "steal" seems to have shifted in people's minds from literally taking an item to depriving someone of potential profit is genuinely kinda sickening

the way i draw is that i lay the colors first, do the shading and then do lineart + rendering. it sounds like a mess but its fun to me and also sometimes my sketches start out like this

which is extremely funny to me

By the way, the way that No Child Left Behind impacts the trade worker shortage in the US is because in about 2002 shop classes, home ec classes, auto classes, etc, had their funding diverted into teaching kids how to pass standardized tests so that the schools could continue to pay teachers and keep the library open.

It’s hard to figure out that you might be interested in plumbing as a career when you’ve spent twelve years learning how to pass multiple choice tests and having ceramics and band as the only available electives.

This is one place where I actually WILL do the generational thing and say that Millennials and Gen Z got completely fucked in a way that older generations didn’t.

It’s actually really fucking hard to repair a cabinet when you’ve never had a shop class. It’s really goddamned difficult to learn everything about car maintenance on your own through youtube videos instead of in a semester of auto shop. It’s really goddamned difficult to figure out you want to be a plumber or an electrician or a welder when you are eighteen years old, have been taught to pass tests and cajoled into applying for college, and you’ve never handled an air compressor or used a socket wrench.

reminder that, as far as anyone knows, this man is literally 100% cisgender. this is fantastic. I love him ever so

[sen-thebootbimbo]

This is a streamer, and one of his chat rewards for subs/bits/etc is "girl month," where he dresses like a girl and does his make up for a whole month.

Last I heard, his chat had gotten him to, like, 6 months straight of "girl month."

This man is cis. He is not trans, and has no desire to transition.

He just wanted to do something fun for his chat, and he has a great time. He looks comfortable, he doesn't make a mockery of women or femininity. It's just wholesome cross dressing fun.
