I had kind of a nerd-out this morning. But I felt like everyone needed to know about this.

The way Marie Antoinette was so intent on controlling her image, and the extent to which she was violently punished for it, will always and forever me one of my keenest interests.

All I can think about now is how Bucky’s last mission before CA:TWS required that he go to a bunch of gross music industry parties undercover as a male model and his dead-eyed shrug in response to all attempts at conversation made him the #1 most popular hipster in the room no matter where he ended up.

When people say ‘This is my baby,’ they don’t always mean a baby. Sometimes they mean a dog.

I want to get people into Welcome to Night Vale, but it’s so hard to sell like “hey if you like gay radio show hosts and totalitarian goverents and clouds that drop dead animals on small desert towns then boy do I have a show for you”

for my entire life i wondered why a dragonfly has an ass thats like 8 times as long as their body and tonight i finally felt compelled to investigate and as it turns out dragonflies breath thru their ass and can shoot water out of their butt hole to make them fly faster…….so…… i really did not expect that to be the answer but there it is

if the creator has to say “yeah this one vague line was refering to this character being gay” it doesnt count as representation. if it’s a punchline at the end of the movie, it doesn’t count as representation. if the writer announces it outside the work but never in the work it doesnt fucking count as representation

Louisa May Alcott wrote Little Women for the money. And it made her miserable. As a young writer, Alcott concentrated on lurid pulp stories of revenge, murder, and adultery–“blood and thunder” literature, as she called i–and enjoyed writing very much. She was in her mid 30s when an editor suggested she try writing a book for girls. Alcott wasn’t very interested, but her father was a complete moron with money and had left the family in terrible financial trouble. Alcott wrote Little Women in hopes of some decent sales and a little breathing room and got way more than she asked for. The money in sequels was too good to turn down (and her father didn’t get any smarter with a dime), but Alcott hated writing what she called “moral pap for the young” and longed to return to the smut and violence of her early endeavors.
