re: my last reblog my toxic trait is that I think it's fine to recommend One Hundred Years of Solitude to people who enjoyed Encanto. Good, even. If someone wants more art about generational curses, why not recommend them The generational curse book? If someone watches Heated Rivalry and is interested in stories about masculinity and shame, why not recommend Brokeback Mountain? Like, I think you should probably mention they might find these works more challenging lmao, but we can't keep complaining people have no media literacy then discouraging them from stretching that muscle.

I highly recommend developing a tolerance for polite low level conflict, not just because it will serve you well when employers or whoever try to impose bullshit on you with the expectation you'll fold rather than expend energy arguing, but because it will make you a genuine asset to your friends and allies whenever they're in positions where they're less able to fight for themselves.

the first and most important step is learning to stay calm when someone with authority tries to pressure you. take a breath, think about what you actually believe, and respond in your own time. if they try to brush past or talk over you, you can say "excuse me, can I think about that for a moment. I'd like to give you a proper answer." self esteem. you're both just upright monkeys.

also sorry i just don't find the trope of "woman who hates men learns to love men again because she met one really sweet dude" very compelling. at best i think it's boring and eye-rolling wish fulfillment for people who never got over their lesbian crush and at worst i think it's actively and purposefully misogynistic

[dykieran]

ESPECIALLY when its meant to be "fluffy" like sorryyyyy i just don't think Woman Learns Her Place In Society is a very cutesy sweet trope

Hey everyone how's it going

I promise you things will get so much better when you start processing people’s behavior as information rather than a verdict on your self-worth. If someone doesn’t text back, suddenly pulls away, whatever it may be, the solution isn’t to put on a tap dance for them and try to regain their approval. It’s not to crash out on them and try to force them to react a certain way. It’s just to take a step back, take a deep breath, and assess what this tells you. What’s this saying about them? What’s this saying about you??

isn't it crazy that a woman being gender nonconforming literally just requires her to exist in her own body without making any changes whatsoever. why does the fact that i don't wear makeup and i don't shave and i don't wear a bra have to be some political act. why can't i just fucking exist

“I hate school I’m sorry Malala”- Funny yet poignant. Acknowledges both the difficulty of the task and the fact that doing that task is a privilege. Gives credit to the people who fought for that privilege with a tongue in cheek acknowledgement of the irony of the initial statement

“I’m just a girl I should be home baking bread not doing calculus” - at best historically uninformed at worst leaps decades back in time. Refusal to acknowledge the charged history of education and slights the centuries of women’s labor it took to reach this point

i dont think straight people should be allowed to do "enemies to lovers" i think if a man is your enemy you need to trust that you were correct the first time and slay him in battle

i've been slowly watching the xfiles (i'm about halfway through season 2 rn) and i love how often mulder and scully accomplish approximately fuckall. like they don't stop any deaths. they don't capture the villain, or if they do they escape promptly. they don't even really know what the hell happened. literally they were there and it didn't change anything. but they were there

Out of all the heated rivalry analysis I’ve seen I’ve never seen someone mention that after the all star game Shane no longer drafts and deletes texts. He says what he intends to say the first time and stops editing and second guessing himself and it’s one of my favorite details showing that their dynamic has changed and no one talks about it

[argumate]

hell yeah! I never meet any hot chicks in ##USER_CITY##, it’s a total backwater!

take me down to the ##USER_CITY## where the grass is ##COLOUR## and the girls are ##USER_PREFERENCE##

andres_cubillan_soto: Int. Lestat's Bedroom - Chateau D'Aurillac.

This little set was one of my favorites. Lestat being the runt of the family, the disappointment, I wanted to give him a small awkwardly shaped room that felt like it was caving in on him, weighing him down. The small room was dominated but a giant fireplace and a heavy wood raftered ceiling (which sadly we never see, but it was painted in dull pinks and yellows and very oversized). While still "of the chateau" with carved wood paneling, we balanced it out with tile floors like you'd see in servant's quarters or kitchens.

As for the muraled walls, I wanted to play with the concept of the hetero-normative "little boy's room" but make it period. Instead of images of boats, trains, and trucks, the walls are covered with images of wartime masacres and conquests. The dichotomy of hard and soft really made it one of my favorites. And for those of you that do what we do, THIS IS WHY FLOORS MATTER!. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. I fought for those (expensive) tiles and they complete the set. Once our director and DP saw the floor, they restaged the scene. #vindication The set was drawn by the talented Gord Peterson, with mural graphics by @/mongtho
