This is lovely and exactly why I like Superman. Its so important that it starts the sequence with just getting a cat out of the tree, that this act of kindness is placed in line with all the other things. That kindness and helping people can inspire the same from those people.

I have always joked that it’s hard to write good Superman stories but you know them when you see them…

I saw this and thought “haha trans-plant” but I didn’t think it was on purpose

the moon is a lesbian and she hates terfs

[queerfemme]

the moon told me personally that she thinks you’re obnoxious and hopes you never get a girlfriend

[q-is-a-letter]

I have a theory that the moon IS a trans woman cause she’s always associated with feminine things but when we saw the craters that look like a face we called it “The Man In The Moon”. She’s a woman with a face that people may perceive as male. She’s a beautiful trans woman

[queerfemme]

[excalibelle]

the moon is a beautiful trans woman who hates terfs and shows her face every night to remind other trans women they are beautiful and strong and loved and important and wonderful and that terfs and their opinions dont matter

[hiranyaksha-deactivated20220613]

I wanna add to this if it’s ok?? In Hindu mythology, Chandra, the moon, was originally thought of as a male deity. However, as time went on, symbolism involving the moon and the name “Chandra” itself became identified with femininity, with beautiful girls being described as having “moon-like faces,” with their dark, long hair reminding lovers of the midnight sky, and names like “Nilaa” (”moon” in Tamil) and “Indu” (in Sanskrit) are now pretty much now completely girl names! 

AlsO Chandra is married to 27 wives, who are all stars. The moon is a trans lesbian and is gay for all the stars in the sky.

Reblog if you’re gay for the trans lesbian poly moon who supports all woman.

[i-just-like-commenting]

Text: decoupling pregnancy from femininity means accurate and more inclusive language and treatment, but it also allows cis women to refuse motherhood without refusing womanhood, which is great for feminism and terrifying for misogyny.

–THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS. As a sterile cis woman who doesn’t want to have children anyway I feel this is every ounce of my being. “Define woman” types tend to do so in a way that excludes me too, so I got to stand with my trans sisters.

We call it, La Bonk. For those wondering it’s 10lb.

@petermorwood For your collection of fab, but not easy to use weapons

[petermorwood]

Backing music is Edith Piaf singing “La Vie en Rose” - very apt. :->

This one’s not easy to use simply because it’s so big. Trimming everything down by making the head actual rose-sized, and mounting it on a hollow not solid haft, would result in quite an effective and strikingly (ouch) pretty weapon.

Since the head would no longer be as massive, realistic-looking petals would need compressed into the more compact, sturdy shape suitable for something meant for thumping things - like, for instance, these…

*****

Maces with flanged heads were fairly common, and the Indian “shishpar” was sometimes even made with with spiral flanges.

I don’t know this one’s exact weight but if it has the usual hollow metal haft then it’s probably about 1 kg / 2.2 lbs or a little (not much) more.

Look at how thin the flanges are compared to the “La Bonk” petals (unusually thin, indeed possibly sharp-edged, though their spiral curve adds strength); between that and the khanda broadsword hilt, I’m betting it’s well-balanced and manoeuverable.

Yet if some Maratha or Rajput warrior had asked the weaponsmith who made it to make one shaped like a rose, the reply would probably have been “Certainly, sahib, would you like a guhlab rose, a paneer rose, a damask rose or a musk rose, and would you like the petal edges sharp or blunt?”

*****

Here are a few more Indian maces, and here’s another reason why Indian warriors liked hollow hafts - it not only saved weight, it made room for a little extra whether the weapon was a tabar (axe):

…zaghnal (”war-pick”)…

…or bhuj (”hatchet-knife”)

Those daggers seem so common that I’ve started think they weren’t actually a “hidden surprise”, more an accepted way to carry an additional backup weapon. Oddly enough Indian maces seem to be the only hafted weapon which didn’t have them - at least I couldn’t find a pic of one - though there were any amount of maces with sword-hilts.

However maces from other countries did. This one is from Germany, ca. 1550; it weighs 1.2kg / 2.6 lbs…

…while this one is from Poland, ca. 1650s, weight 1.07 kg / 2.4 lbs.

A “Petite La Bonk” scaled down to match these (with or without dagger as optional extra) would be quite something.

And easy to use, too. :->

How to write an Indian Character by an Indian person.

Disclaimer: when i say Indian, I don’t mean native Indian. I mean INDIAN INDIAN. You know from that large asian country that’s shaped like a kite? Yeah, that Indian. 

 1. India is a large country not all Indians are Hindu.

2. Not all Indians are vegetarian.

3. Not all Indians are math wizards.

4. Not all Indian people are nerds who don’t know how to date.

5. Not all Indian people are straight and cis. (if you’re writing about Hijra or Kinner character then please do a lot of research into their culture before you write them, Hijras and Kinners are often misrepresented in Indian society to be evil and such other things)

6. We don’t eat curry, curry is not a real thing. You have to be more specific than just curry. Like please for the love of god.

7. The name of the language of India is Hindi, not Indian.

8. India has many other languages other than Hindi. Eg. Punjabi, Gujarati, Telugu, Marathi and many households prefer to talk in their native state/city languages rather than Hindi.

9. Indian cuisines vary from region to region. So not everyone in India likes to eat the same thing. North Indian and South Indian cuisines are very different from each other.

10. Not all Indians celebrate the same festivals but that doesn’t mean we don’t enjoy them all.

11. Many people’s Indian accents are a lot more subtle than you think.

12. Different regions in India have different cultural clothing.

13. Not all Indian people look like your typical brown skin black hair, northeast Indians more often than not have features very similar to Chinese people. (But remember when you write northeastern Indian characters, many of them are discriminated against in mainland India and some of them don’t really believe themselves to be Indian)

14. Most Indian don’t use toilet paper (look into this yourself, I’m not gonna go any further)

15. Indian English is more similar to British English than American. Indian English has its own slang too.  Some Indian English things to know:  - Duffer = slang for stupid  - We a lot of the times have problems differentiating between the pronunciation of V and W. - A lot of people pronounce the G in gesture how you pronounce the G in Grapes instead of pronouncing it like a J  - We say rubber not eraser.  - Schedule is pronounced Shehdule not Skedual.  - Mother promise is a way of saying pinky promise.  - Eating my brain means you’re irritating. Eg. “Stop eating my brain” which means stop irritating me.  - Senti is slang for sentimental  - Dickey refers to the boot of the car (please don’t ask)  - Cheatercock is a person who cheated in a test, or an exam or did something to gain advantage in life (not a cheater as in in the romantic/sexual sense)

16. We have a tendency of saying yaar or na after things. Even when we text.

17. ‘Are yaar’ is an expression that can have multiple meanings depending on the context you use it in. But it usually is a saying of exasperation. 

Indian characters can be very hard to write depending on which religion, region, gender, sexuality you choose for them to be. India is a large country, when writing Indian characters, remember that this is the second largest population in the entire world, not all Indian characters are the same, especially the ones you see these days in mainstream western media.

This is very important and informative but I also just realized I, a white bread American person, have been pronouncing “gesture” wrong my entire life.
