There are no more barriers to cross. All I have in common with the uncontrollable and the insane, the vicious and the evil, all the mayhem I have caused and my utter indifference toward it I have now surpassed. My pain is constant and sharp, and I do not hope for a better world for anyone. In fact, I want my pain to be inflicted on others. I want no one to escape. But even after admitting this, there is no catharsis; my punishment continues to elude me, and I gain no deeper knowledge of myself. No new knowledge can be extracted from my telling. This confession has meant nothing. AMERICAN PSYCHO (2000) Dir. Mary Harron

The Banner (15th century) historical notes in the read more

The banner would have been painted by an artist on silk (or maybe linen if they're on a budget). I don't think they would have sat as reference, so just imagine that they posed briefly and instructed the artist to paint it EXACTLY like this to explain why they wouldn't have preserved Jae's modesty lol.

The term "pudenda" refers to the external genitalia.

A medieval man's undergarments usually consisted of braies (made of linen, kind of like boxers but could vary in length depending on the period), hose (likely wool), and a garter if the hose were not tied to the braies.

The houppelande is the brown outer tunic-thing Jae wears.

The style of their portrait for the banner is sort of inspired by the Spiezer Chronik, a manuscript full of guys that look like Matt Johnson.

“The LEGO Movie was my favorite movie of 2014, but it strikes me that the main character was male, because I feel like in our current culture, he HAD to be. The whole point of Emmett is that he’s the most boring average person in the world. It’s impossible to imagine a female character playing that role, because according to our pop culture, if she’s female she’s already SOMEthing, because she’s not male. The baseline is male. The average person is male. You can see this all over but it’s weirdly prevalent in children’s entertainment. Why are almost all of the muppets dudes, except for Miss Piggy, who’s a parody of femininity? Why do all of the Despicable Me minions, genderless blobs, have boy names? I love the story (which I read on Wikipedia) that when the director of The Brave Little Toaster cast a woman to play the toaster, one of the guys on the crew was so mad he stormed out of the room. Because he thought the toaster was a man. A TOASTER. The character is a toaster. I try to think about that when writing new characters— is there anything inherently gendered about what this character is doing? Or is it a toaster?”

been sort of obsessively combing through articles and websites and resources about top surgery and recovery more and more as I gear up to My Big Day and while I hate to report I may have gotten through most of the scientifically rigorous and reputable sites I am at least, now, stumbling over some of the funnier AI generated slop images i've ever seen in my quest for Patient Information

"Canceling" was also an AAVE term that originally meant "We ain't fucking with this person anymore because they're weird with weird and questionable beliefs" and white people took it and tainted it to mean "You're trying to ruin someone's life, how dare you make someone take accountability for their actions !" like they really thought that saying "Hey this person is racist, maybe you want to think twice before giving them money and support" is a bad thing and that says a lot more about them than it does about us

[phantom-solitaire]

I mean it was first recorded in 1440 in middle English, Cancelling, based on the Latin phrase relating to erasing a word by crossing it out with a lattice to make it unreadable. So like 580 years ago. Thats when the Oxford English dictionary recorded it.

It being related to cancel culture appeared in 1988 and then popularised in later years by black people. But no cancelling isnt AAVE its a action verb from way before England formed its stupid empire and brought the English language in to slavery. The word is from middle English (1200 to 1800s) rather than modern English which was started in 1890s till now.

Its use by black people in the last 40 years is what made it popularised but it isnt an AAVE Term as it hugely predates the British Empire, and its forcing of language on to the populations it conquered. It's a word that as an action meant to remove or cancel a written document.

proud victim of the tumblr accent. it's fading out of public consciousness as the tik tok accent takes precedence; a linguistic evolution that makes the tumblr accent 85% funnier to unsuspecting civilians. it's like releasing a disease on a non-inoculated population. coughing baby versus hydrogen bomb.

someone should make a social network (2010) style biopic movie about the rise and fall of panic! at the disco because it's literally the same story. young awkward nerdy guys in the early 2000s make something cool and then have the worst friendship breakup of all time that's reminiscent of a divorce and now decades later the thing they made is lame as fuck. one guy became evil after they split up and the other guy disappeared off of the face of the earth. every man involved was so misogynistic that the story has undertones of a doomed gay relationship (a comically large hook drags me off stage and I am shot like a lame horse)
