my that one friend that's too woke opinion is that in a similar vein to how you almost never see fat people or women without makeup on tv you never really see anyone experiencing incontinence issues unless it's a humiliating comedic moment at their expense and that's kind of scary

[valtsv]

like sorry to be the bearer of bad news but people piss themselves. when they're afraid. when they've experienced mental and/or physical trauma and their body needs a way to express that stress. when they've been sexually assaulted. when they get older and their muscles start to wear out from a lifetime of service. a not insignificant majority of people Will experience incontinence in their lifetimes and while there are steps you can take to manage it for your own comfort and others', there's simply no moral dimension to it whatsoever. & like i'm not saying every show and movie needs checkhov's bed wetting scene but we have seriously got to get more okay with acknowledging that somehow.

yall i swear to god if a bitch says her pronouns are she/her then her pronouns are she/her

[mephistopheles]

my close friend from uni was a cis girl who had the audacity to wear pants and cut her hair short and like nobody at this school, a place OBSESSED with ‘respecting everyone’s gender identities,’ would call her ‘she.’ after MONTHS of this she started wearing a fucking pronoun pin to work and i dont even think that fixed it. me, im sorta androgynous; i have shaggy self-cut hair and go by a neutral name, but i always say my pronouns are she/her, and people ive worked with for months and have introduced myself in front of fifty times will STILL reflexively say ‘they’ for me. i respect the progressive circles i run in, but this IS evidence of misogyny. people’s definition of “woman” or “girl” is so narrow and high-maintenance that even the tiniest deviation from the norm gets you forcibly defeminized. but it’s a compliment, right? like who would wanna be a girl anyway?

[mephistopheles]

replacing an inescapable gender binary with an equally-inescapable gender trinary is stupid 🩷

I did not know my favorite lil squishy brand became the new labubu grift 💔💔 no fucking wonder I couldn't find another mushroom squishy after my last one broke

[demilypyro]

draw that woman with tummy hair it's good for you

[demilypyro]

like on a literal mental health level I literally think regularly acknowledging women naturally DO have body hair is good for you. don't let the beauty industry take you for a ride. don't let them decide what women look like

Random thing for people to consider is that since Laika is the saint of one way trips should Felicette be known as the saint of safe landings since she did make it back to the ground safely

I love zukka but I will not stand for the erasure of my girl

[rileyyapson]

I literally hate when Zukka shippers (as a Zukka shipper myself) pretend like Suki doesn't exist bc she "Gets in the way" of the ship..which is why I ship Zukki so nobodies left out 🫰

rewatching Avatar is so weird because Sokka is literally the only thing keeping them alive and fed. He constantly is like,

'guys we're out of supplies/ we need to stop/ we're attracting too much attention with the flying bison we should walk' etc.

Like in the ´The Storm' when they're completely out of money and supplies the one to get a job in hopes of making money (he never actually gets paid, the world hates him) is Sokka.

In 'The Waterbending Scroll,' it's Sokka who's concerned about their lack of supplies when Aang sends them in a wave down the river, and is making sure they're careful with their spendibg when in town shopping.

He's also seen to catch fish and gather nuts (I know more often than not he fails to catch things on screen but it's implied he's the one that does most of the hunting and gathering)

It's like- Aang totally would have starved to death or gotten completely off track with often they're completely out of food and money

[kira-sucks-lawlipops]

also when they save people who are all like 'how can we ever repay you?' Sokka is one who says 'with food and money'

some grown-up kataang because i finished the annual A:TLA re-watch with my partner and now i'm in my feelings about them

do you ever think about how Dagur says "they do exist!" about the Night Fury, implying that Toothless never went near Berserker Island? Like Berk really was the front line for all kinds of fucked dragons and raids wasn't it?

also imagine trying to explain to the Berserkers the Night Fury - a dragon you've never seen and never killed that doesn't take food but only occasionally shows up to one shot your village.

ofc Dagur thought they were imaginary!

[revive-the-fandom]

@queenofthearchipelago true, it’s possible that Stoick was just better at holding onto food reserves, or Berk is unusually rich in resources! but I was more so thinking that Berk is just the closest to Helheim’s gate & therefore is the literal frontline against the attacks from Dragon Island

I know the canon map doesn’t include berserker island or the shivering shores, for reasons no one knows… but Berk seems to be the only one launching invasions into dragon island and seems to bear the brunt of the worst dragon attacks. Which combined with the canonical placement of outcast island (presumably the crappy stone island on the eastern most side) led me to believe that it was the closest to dragon island & the first pit stop for the dragons.

In my mind this is why the berserkers, outcasts and shivering shores are not involved in the invasions into dragon territory - they don’t care, Berk is their shield & takes the brunt of the attacks, leaving the, with only the scavengers & wild dragons not from dragon island. They’re not risking their people or resources on something that doesn’t directly affect them. Not when Berk is still standing.

Which to me is also part of why Hiccup has such a dismal opinion on Berk. It’s the ass end of nowhere and constantly in turmoil over the dragons compared to places like berserker island or the shivering shores, who don’t have to worry about starving because their flock was carried away by dragons, or freezing because their homes were burnt down.

Which is all a big headcanon but I still like that idea the most.

As a young adult, I used to think what messed me up as a kid was having completely unfiltered access to things I wasn’t ready for, like NSFW content, gore, heavy discourse, and the existence of predatory adults online. But now that I’m older, I see it differently.

The problem wasn’t what I had access to. It was that I didn’t have access to a safe adult I could actually talk to; someone I could trust to help me without immediately cutting me off from everything and everyone. I remember getting messages from strangers on Skype. I didn’t even respond. But when my parents found out, they banned me from using it entirely. That meant losing most of my contact with friends outside of school. So what did I do? I went behind their backs. And once I was hiding, I couldn’t tell them when something actually dangerous was happening, like when I started being groomed. By the time things escalated, I was already alone with it.

I think about an episode of Scared Straight where a girl was dragged through a prison because she’d been talking to adult men online. She wasn’t doing that because she was reckless or malicious; she was lonely. Her parents weren’t present, she was being bullied at school, and these men gave her attention, told her she was pretty, told her she mattered. She was already being harmed. And the adults in her life responded by terrorizing her. Humiliating her. Calling her a slut. Telling her she deserved it. Breaking her to pieces.

What lesson does that actually teach? Not “this is dangerous, come to us.” It teaches: If you get hurt, we will hurt you more. Do you really think that makes her stop, or does it just make the predators look safer by comparison? They might as well have driven her straight into the jaws of those predators with torches and pitchforks. Because when every path back to safety is lined with punishment, kids don’t run away from danger. They run deeper into it.

If you want kids to be safe, stop treating them like problems to control and start treating them like people worth protecting. Stop ripping away their autonomy the second they make a mistake or encounter something risky. Stop teaching them that honesty will cost them everything.

Be the person they can come to without fear of losing their entire world. Because safety isn’t built through control, it’s built through trust. And if you aren’t safe for them to tell the truth to, then you aren’t keeping them safe at all.

i trusted you

[flygoing]

Do not trust people like me. I will take you to museums, and parks, and monuments, and kiss you in every beautiful place, so that you can never go back to them without tasting me like blood in your mouth. I will destroy you in the most beautiful way possible. And when I leave you will finally understand, why storms are named after people
