Does Soleil and Ophelia exist? If so... have they met their grandparents?

They have. Regrettably, in Soleil's case.

adulthood notes:

The Rodeo Rule: you only have to do it for the first time once.

The Rohan Rule: if you are at a social function full of new people and you want to be liked, find someone doing important work like setup or food prep and offer to help.

The Tutorial Mode Rule: to navigate an unfamiliar situation where you fear you will mess up an interaction, preface the interaction by mentioning that you've never done this before, and let them know if you have a specific concern or question.

The Rocket Science Rule: most new things you want to try seem very complicated but are simple when taken step by step.

The [X] Will Remember That Rule: if you need to make small talk with the same person on a regular basis, try to save one fact or current event in their life from a given conversation and bring it up next time you talk.

The Cool Binder Rule: by wearing clothes and accessories that are to your taste instead of trying to blend in, people will be more likely to compliment you and show interest in you as a person.

growing up as an unaware lesbian trans girl you'll have cis dudes asking you things like "wait if you're a guy who likes girls... why do you act like such a faggot?" and by acting like a faggot they'll just mean having emotions and respecting women. and you'll just shrug

The hero's journey is like the homeopathy of literary analysis

Joseph Campbell enjoyers when a character exits one place and travels to one or more other places before returning to the first place

sahonithereadwolf

Folklore itself is so broad and being reductive of that is reductive of real cultures especially when you squash it into a Eurocentric lens to prefit a narrative. Eat shit Campbell.

💯 serious the individualism propagandized by the hero's journey is why we have Trump, Putin and other dictators in power today.

? No, they came to be because of the material circumstances of political economy. Blaming the modern political system on make-em-up stories is exactly the kind of puerile Jungianism I'm yelling at here.

“On 27 April 1806, Moehanga discovered Britain

“Today is Moehanga Day in the United Kingdom.#Onthisday in 1806 Great Britain was discovered by Moehanga. Of course, various indigenous, white-skinned tribes had already inhabited the British Isles for thousands of years, but Moehanga was the first Māori to discover Britain. The British natives were in awe of Moehanga’s tattoos and they insisted he meet their chieftain King George III. When Moehanga arrived on the island he saw families living in primitive, damp and unsanitary conditions and a brutal society that punished almost any act of disobedience, from theft to living with [Roma], with death. The Britons were a warlike people, renowned and feared for their prowess at fighting other European tribes and even raiding and conquering lands and taking slaves on distant continents. Today Britain is a thriving multi-cultural nation, producing a range of quality exports whilst preserving its rich heritage and traditions. Happy Moehanga Day! #OTD #Moehanga #MoehangaDay”
