I thought we’d have more time. We always think that. Don’t we? One day we will. In this life or the next.

True lovers never call themselves “lovers” and never refer to their relationship as lovers to others. They always use the terms “best friend”, “partner”, “significant other”, “other half”… Or if it’s truly deep and intimate enough… “Soul mate”. And you’ll know yourself if you’ve ever fallen in love with your friend that the “friend” part always comes first. And the “lover” part comes second.

But for Xena and Gabrielle there is extra layers added on to it because they literally are each other’s everything. Meaning any role ever missing in their lives that are needed, they fill for each other. They provide what is lacking in their individual reality and give it to one another willingly, unconditionally and automatically. They are simply not referred to as lovers because their love is much deeper and transcends human conceptual thoughts, ideas and constructs. It’s not something you could simply put down to romance.

So that being said, I’d like to finish off Xena’s sentence in ‘You Are There’ and give the answer to Nigel’s question. “Are you two lovers?”

“It’s like this. Technically… Yes, we are. But we’re best friends first and that’s how we address each other in private and in public. "Lover” is too general a term to explain and justify the connection we have. We’re not merely lovers. We’re everything to each other.“

Probably less wordy, but along the lines of this is what I reckon Xena would say. As would Gabrielle. But probably a lot more wordy.

BI / PAN PRIDE and VISIBILITY not ERASURE!!!

Happy Pride Month!!!

[thoradvice]

this pride month please be aware of and lift up those often forgotten in our community. the disabled people, the plus-sized people, the people of colour, those in the closet, and anyone else left on the sidelines. pride is for all lgbt people, not just the photogenic out & proud white people.

This is why nobody likes Alabama…

I love them so much

Listen my dudes Ancient Egypt existed for a really fuckass long time. Literally just Pharaonic civilization lasted 3,000 years. That’s not even including predynastic civilization and Roman rule. If you lump that in you’re looking at more like… 5,000 years. Like. If you want a comparison of how long that is: THE YEAR IS CURRENTLY 2018. TWO THOUSAND. TWO-THIRDS OF ANCIENT EGYPTIAN PHARAONIC CIVILIZATION HAVE HAPPENED SINCE THE ‘BIRTH OF JESUS CHRIST’ We comparatively just entered the Third Intermediate Period. The Greeks will not take over for another 700~ years. Cleopatra will not be born until the year 2931.

It’s a really long time guys.

Anyway look. Listen. I sat my ass down and wrote out a timeline of “when shit happened if you started at 1AD” because I know backwards numbers are hard to process but here’s an abridged version. If the first Egyptian Pharaoh came to power in 1AD then…

300: step pyramid built 450: Great Pyramid at Giza built 815: Pepi II dies and civil war breaks out 950: Egypt re-unified 1350: Middle Kingdom ends 1450: New Kingdom begins 1520: Hatshepsut is on the throne 1650: Ahkenaten switches to monotheistic religion and builds a new city 1680: Tutankhamun dies 1720: Ramesses II ‘the great’ ascends to the throne 1740: World’s first peace treaty signed 1790: Ramesses II dies leaving way too many children 1920: Egypt breaks into 2 states again And now we get to ~~~~the future~~~~. If we started at 1AD all of this stuff hasn’t happened yet 2050: Briefly re-united as a single state 2180: Civil war 2250: Nubian kings take over 2335: Assyrian conquest 2665: Alexander the Great conquers Egypt 2930: Cleopatra VII born 2970: Cleopatra VII dies. Egypt falls to Rome. Fin.

And that’s just starting with the Pharaohs. If you wanted to start with Predynastic Egypt, you can go ahead and ADD ONE THOUSAND YEARS to all of those dates

I hate that this is still getting notes but that it’s getting notes *without the timeline addition* like c’mon, man. I had to do MATHS for this. I DID MATHS FOR YOU PEOPLE AND ALL I GOT WAS A BUNCH OF RACISTS

[norcross]

always reblog for math.

say what you will about pirates of the caribbean but elizabeth swann started that movie being told ships were no place for women and ended it as the king of pirates and that’s pretty dope to me

[wintersoldierfell]

hot take pride and prejudice isn’t a story about two people who hate each other getting married despite their hate. pride and prejudice is a story about a rich, privileged guy getting called on his privilege and toxic masculinity by the woman he admires and then actually listening to her, taking steps to correct his own toxic masculine behavior, and using his wealth and privilege to rectify the “missing stair” problem he caused by allowing a predator to operate unchecked in his community. he specifically takes action, pays money, and does work without asking for credit or using it to point-score, because he realizes that his job as a privileged person is to protect vulnerable people, especially women. and THAT is what changes his crush’s mind about him, because he does the work and becomes a person she can respect, love, and be proud of. thanks for coming to my TED talk

Well, I refuse to be cowed by it. People can be very cruel. Shame on them. I don’t want you to be hurt. Sometimes, if we want to be happy, we have to risk getting hurt.

I’ve seen a bunch of people in the notes concerned (like I was) of comparisons of members of the lgbt to dogs: but upon visiting their website I was reassured that they monitor a variety of content, including (but not limited to):

I AM CURRENTLY BAWLING MY EYES OUT. NATALIA ALIANOVNA ROMANOVA DESERVES SO MUCH MORE THAN TO BE YEETED OFF OF A CLIFF.

GOD SHE DESERVED TO THERE IN THE FINAL FIGHT, RIGHT BESIDE HER FAMILY.

SHE DESERVED A ‘HAPPY’ ENDING. SHE DESERVED TO BE THERE FOR THAT GLORIOUS WOMEN TEAM UP MOMENT.

HONESTLY, THAT TEAM UP WAS FOR NATASHA ROMANOFF AND YOU CAN’T CHANGE MY MIND.

Like I am at a point in my life where I will physically fight everyone that dares say negative shit about my baby girl.

Thnx for coming to my emotional break down.

I love Natasha Romanova 3000
