Messing around with colours

So in early versions of sleeping beauty the princess is sometimes impregnated while asleep and her newborn child wakes her up by sucking on her finger. As far as I know marital rape didn't exist as a concept back then, what do you think women made of it?

Was it a horror story of having no control over your husband or children? Did it bring comfort to those who wished they could sleep through having sex with their new husbands? Was it meant to emphasise the love between mother and child? Maybe even a metaphor for what we now call prepartum depression?

travelers from afar flood through our town to visit these ruins. I honestly don't understand what they see in them. they ramble on about some distant stories of grandeur and royalty- but what meaning do they have in a place like this? no trees grow here, no beggars spend their nights under these stones, it's a wasteland! no king lives here! nor has a king ever lived here in our tribes memory! they're all mad those travelers I swear! they always bring the weirdest things: whole bundles of old scrolls and books, all sorts of confusing measuring equipments, a rich chap brought a whole excavation squad once! and for what? to dig out more rocks? damn those stupid foreigners

Glaucomaria rupicola (syn Lecanora rupicola)

*sigh* Yet another lichen species name that may actually represent multiple species, but more investigation is needed. G. rupicola has multiple morphotypes and subspecies, but it is still unclear how many of these may actually be due to genetic variation, chemical adaptation, or the result of parasitism by Arthonia varians which often effects the color of the apothecia. This crustose lichen has a rimose-areolate, white-gray thallus surrounded in a dark prothallus. It produces lecanorine apothecia which have a dark disc covered in pale pruina, giving them a glaucous, chalky appearance. G. rupicola grows on silicious rock all over.

The second best way to enjoy a superhero adaptation is to be just familiar enough with the source material that you understand the characters and themes being referenced but not so familiar that you spend the entire time fuming about all of the stupid unnecessary changes. The best way to enjoy a superhero adaptation is to be ten years old.

The problem with gatekeeping is that people:

a) don't think they do it and/or

b) don't think there's anything wrong with it

"everyone is welcome here (you just have been a member since the beginning and gone to every event/consumed every possible product they've spat out)"

"everyone is welcome here but only if they're serious about it and aren't just here for fun"

"if you're a casual fan or it's just a passing interest then you don't care enough about it"

"I like excluding people from things because then I can put myself in the top group"
