Hey I get that compulsory heterosexuality is a thing and all but can we maybe stop trying to convince bi girls that they arenât actually attracted to guysâŠ.I mean can we get rid of the idea that a bi girl who lusts after men is somehow doing a great disservice to the wlw community or being disloyal to who she âreallyâ isâŠcompulsive heterosexuality is real but guess what bisexuality is too and itâs a very valid identity
take me out there
When the world continues on but you're still waiting for MCR to get back together
it costs $0 to not mock others cultures and ethnicities
i was 14 and i was walking through a mall by myself at 12am after my shift at coldstone creamery lol and a bunch of men started whistling and meowing and getting really close to me and they kept asking me questions and i kept not answering until i didnât know what else to do so i said âiâm only 14â and almost in unison they said âwe donât careâ i was so fucking scared i didnât know what to do and they kept talking about how i looked and how my body looked and what they would do i was on the verge of tears i was all alone in a huge mall i knew i couldnât outrun them all i felt totally hopeless until a maintenance worker came up to all of us with a huge industrial broom in her hand, i thought she was going to yell at all of us for being in the mall after hours bc she probably thought we were all friends but instead she cursed all of them out in spanish, threatened to press a panic button on her belt and then proceeded to walk me to the basement garage and waited with me until my mom got there to pick me up she had a death grip on her cart the whole time and a face of steel she looked so strong and i just kept saying thank you and she kept saying not to thank her because she had to stop them.
that was the moment i realized women were the most important beings on this planet and we have to protect each other bc nobody else is going to, she didnât even know me, we couldnât even communicate that well because of the language barrier, she could have lost her job for waiting with me in the parking lot but she looked out for me when she didnât have to, she had nothing to gain from it, iâm 21 now and i tell everyone this story even though it happened 7 years ago, what she did that night helped me form and shape lot of my beliefs early on.Â
i was at a grocery store really late one night and some old guy kind of eyed me as i walked out of the store next to this other lady. She and I made eye contact and i knew she was scared too. we loaded up our groceries into our cars as fast as possible and I had way more bags than her so she got done faster than me. I panicked because i was sure she was going to leave so i just hurried faster, shaking a little, and then i noticed she sat in her car, watching me and making sure nobody came near. She waited not until all my groceries were loaded, or until my cart was put away, or until I got into my car. No, she didnât drive away until I drove away.Â
And that was the moment that I realized how much women need other women. That we canât win this war without each other and we have to be looking out for each other, every second.Â
my last year in new york city, i got off the subway around 9 or 10p.m. i only lived about 5 blocks from the f train, but i hadnât gotten more than two before a womanâs hand suddenly touched my arm.Â
âthat guy behind us is following you,â she said. âhe was watching you leave the train car and followed you up.â
i hadnât noticed him, or at least not noticed him following me. when we stopped outside a grocery store, he stopped half a block back and loitered. the woman linked her arm with mine and walked me several blocks out of her way to my front door and made sure i got inside safely.
another time, nocigar and i were walking home and at a stoplight a stranger grabbed my arm when i wouldnât respond to him and tried to physically drag me over to him. sheâwho is, by the way, not a very physically imposing girlâripped his hand off my arm and snarled, âdonât fucking touch her.â
protect your friends. protect strangers. there are good men in the world, but donât wait for them to do something if you can do it yourself.
I was at a club once and my friend left with her boyfriend so I finished my drink and was heading out to the parking lot when three girls came up to me and basically surrounded me.Â
âThose guys behind us were talking about following you. We can walk with you.âÂ
I have MMA training but have never in my life had been offered the protection and sanction of my own gender. This is so important.Â
GIRL CODE. FUCKINâ GIRL CODE. LEAVE NO GIRL BEHIND. EVER.

AUGH
If someone seriously wants to be a part of your life they will seriously make an effort to be in it. no reasons no excuses.
my cat, for no goddamn reason at all except that heâs a cat and he can do whatever the fuck he wants:Â what if i just run at this wall, do a sick kickflip, scare myself with the sound it makes, and then proceed to run over your sleeping body? would that be fucked up or what
Not actually making Janis Ian a lesbian in Mean Girls is probably the worst crime in all of cinematic history tbh
what she says: iâm fine
what she means: the words âchristmas treeâ are used in the hobbit, and since we know that bilbo is the author of the hobbit, hobbits must have christmas which means there must be a middle earth jesus. but hobbits seem to be the only ones who have the concept of christmas which means it was probably a hobbit jesus. but frodo says in return of the king that no hobbit has ever intentionally harmed another hobbit so who crucified hobbit jesus?? were there other hobbit incarnations of religious figures?? was there hobbit moses?? did jrr tolkien even think about this at all??
Wait wait I might actually have an answer
Tolkien wrote The Hobbit like waaaay before he even dreamed up the idea for Lord of the Rings, so when he DID dream up LotR, he had a whole bunch of stuff that didnât make sense. Like plotholes galore
Like for example in the first version Gollum was a pretty nice dude who lost the riddle contest graciously and gave Bilbo the ring as a legit present and was very helpful and it was super nice and polite and absolutely nobody tried to eat anyone because this is a story for kids and thatâs very rude
But that doesnât work with LotR, so Tolkien went back and re-released an updated version of The Hobbit with all the lore changes and stuff to fix everything that didnât work
This is the version we know and love today
BUT rather than pretend the early version never existed, Tolkien went and worked the retcon into the lore
If you pay attention in Fellowship, thereâs a bit where Gandalf is telling Frodo about the ring and he mentions how Bilbo wasnât entirely honest about the manner in which it was found
To us modern readers, this doesnât make a ton of sense, so mostly we just breeze by itâbut actually that line is referencing the first version of The Hobbit
The pre-retcon version of the Hobbit is canonically Bilboâs original book. The original version with Nice Gollum is canonically a lie Bilbo told to legitimize his claim to the ring and absolve him of the guilt he feels for his rather shady behavior
Then the post-retcon version is an in-universe edited edition someone went and released later to straighten out Bilboâs lies
So itâs 100% plausible that the in-universe editor who fixed up Bilboâs Red Book and translated it from whatever language Hobbits speak was a human who knew about Christmas Trees and tossed the detail in to make human readers feel more at home, because thatâs the kind of thing that sometimes happens when you have a translator editor person dressing up a story for an audience that doesnât know the exact cultural context in which the original story was written
Tolkien was a medieval scholar and medieval stories are rife with that sort of thing, so like⊠yeah
Thereâs a good chance it maybe did cross his mind
@old-gods-and-chill LOOK AT THIS THATâS SO COOL
Not only all that, but Tolkien was also working within a frame narrative that he wasnât the real author, but a translator of older manuscripts; so, in-universe, the published The Hobbit isnât actually Bilboâs book, but rather Tolkienâs copy of an older copy of an older copy of an older copy of Bilboâs book. So when errors and anachronisms came up, he would leave them there instead of fixing them, and he may have even put some in intentionally; what weâre supposed to get from the âChristmas treeâ bit is that the first scribe to translate the book from Westroni to English couldnât come up with an accurate analogue for whatever hobbits do at midwinter.
Yes. Another example of tolkien doing this is him using, for instance, Old High Gothic to represent Rohirric - not because the people of Rohan actually spoke that language, but because Old High Gothic had the same relationship with English that Rohirric had with Westron (Which is the Common Language spoken in the West of Middle-Earth). Thereâs tons of that stuff in the book.
Like, Merry and Pippinâs real names (In Westron) are Kalimac Brandagamba and Razanur TĂ»k, respectively (to pick just one example of this). Tolkien changed their names in English to names which would give us English-speakers the same kind of feeling as those names would to a Westron-speaker. Lord of the Rings is so much deeper than most readers realise.
tolkeinâs entire oevre is just one epic in-joke with the oxford linguistics department imo

Still wondering when people are going to realize that feminism is about equality for both men and women and that the reason the root of the word is âfeminineâ is because throughout history itâs been the âfeminineâ qualities and aspects that were oppressed and discriminated against.
For example,
âyou run like a girlâ
calling boys who donât enjoy sports girly or sissyâs
putting down men who enjoy cooking because âthe kitchen is where the woman belongsâ
the idea that still exists that men shouldnât participate in baby showers because theyâre too âfeminineâ
how in every movie and tv show, boys had to defend themselves by saying âtheyâre action figuresâ because they felt emasculated over their friends seeing them with something that looked like it could possibly belong to a girl
and many more
