Carmy was really like if my girl wants a star she can have a star. If my girl wants chaos menu she can have chaos menu. If my girl wants a chef's jacket she can have a bespoke monogrammed 2k designer one. Whatever she wants she can have it because that's what husbands do for their wives

I'm "looking" for a boyfriend in the sense that I'm waiting for one to fall into my lap by divine intervention.

empathising with the women who feel forbidden from expressing desire over villains by some imaginary morality clause. villains are so, so sexy. villains transgress all manner of societal norms which is especially appealing to women as we have been confined and restricted all of our lives.

[kind of personally thought woman loving villains who want to burn it all down should make far more sense to everyone than woman identifying with heroes who want to keep everything intact? heroes uphold the status quo. the status quo in our world is patriarchal. there is no catharsis for women in seeing the current state of a world upheld, even if that world is in a galaxy far, far away. but seeing a character played by a handsome actor want to carve up the status quo? yeah. that's sexy. obviously.]

we aren't attracted to villains because we don't understand that they're bad; we like them because they are bad. because in their otherness we find symbolic representation. because in their defiance of societal norms we find catharsis.

you post about wanting to "get that man pregnant" and yet you then complain about children existing. i dont think you deserve to get him pregnant. i dont think youd treat him well.

What's one of your most common thing/way to fidget?

Doing it with your own hair (braiding, twisting, ruffling, etc)

Actual fidget toys (fidget cubes, pop-its, those twisty ones, etc)

Rubbing clothing/fabric

Picking at nails, lips or scabs

Clicking pens (Just clicking things in general)

Bouncing leg/Tapping fingers/Uncrossing legs or arms often

Twisting string from clothing or hair ties around fingers

Chewing on hoodie strings or other places/items (Ex: chewing inside of cheek)

Have a certain jewelry piece that you like to use

Do multiple of these pretty much the same amount

Other answer!

I don't really fidget/See poll

mae my new favorite failsith. tries to run away gets hit by a car tries to kill a guy but it takes her two tries because she can't get past his shield. her lame "attack me with all your strength" catchphrase that both the jedi just straight up ignore. sooo obsessed.

[literategnome]

the way he went from an absolute killing machine to being like "do u wanna swim with me and also share my helmet and get married like that little family of tiny anteaters on the rock?" is the kind of freak I could've only dreamed of

I've seen a little trend of (mostly) men being shocked and annoyed at how much sensuality was in this newest episode of The Acolyte and I think it's time to re-introduce 'the male gaze' vs 'the female gaze' and how prevalent it is in fiction.

Those same guys don't complain when women are shown topless in bed, the sheet only covering their ass as the full curve of their back is illuminated while the male lead buttons up his pants and smizes forlornly out the window.

They don't bat an eye at 'Slave Leia's' costume or James' Bond's exploits or the gratuitous nudity and sex in Game of Thrones centered on the male gaze. They don't question dehydrated men with bulging veins screaming at their enemies as they flex.

But the moment there's sensuality for the gaze of the fem lead, all of a sudden it's "soapy" it's "fanfic" it's "ridiculous".

Why is that? Why are you so ok with sexuality when it's from the male gaze, but the MOMENT it switches to female, you think it's not to be taken seriously anymore? All of a sudden, it's not 'fit for the public', it's to be relegated to the dark corners of the internet and not spoken of and MOST DEFINITELY shouldn't find it's way onto our screens.

Was Qimir in that episode sexy as fuck? Yeah. Was that what the episode was about? Partially - but it was so much more than that, too. Unlike movies where women are just there to be ogled at by the male audience and have nothing of importance going on with the plot, the Acolyte showed both the man and woman in those scenes as important players in this story with depth and nuance that yes, included sexuality, but was not limited to it.

Men jack off to 'slave Leia' all the time - why is it suddenly disgusting when a man shows up on screen in a sexy way that's NOT dehumanizing to him? Would you have preferred Qimir in a slave costume being held hostage by the Hutts? (feel free to draw fan art of that *cough* what was that? I didn't say anything *cough*) Would that have made it 'not fanfic' to you? Or are only women relegated to those roles? Only women are allowed to skinny dip in the ocean and then talk to the MALE lead all dripping wet and naked. For a man to do that is...well....it's silly!!! It's fanfic!! That's not what we're supposed to see!!

Exactly! And lest we forget DESIRE IS A PART OF THIS STORY! Anger, pride and desire are all feelings Osha wrestles with, everyone who claims themselves some TV/film critic afficionado yells "SHOW NOT TELL", but when it's female desire, suddenly it's taboo to show that, or it "cheapens" the narrative to acknowledge and yes SHOW the character expressign desire.

Osha's own desire, her growing WISH to just FEEL unrestrained all her passions has more to do with the plot of this story than Leia being in a slave costume did in Return of the Jedi. Leia's costume exists only for the audience, and isn't even about the narrative of the characters Han, Luke or Leia--It does nothing for Leia's story, Han never sees it, Luke is her brother and unmoved by it. Both in TLJ, and in Acolyte, Ben and Qimir are partly or wholly undressed to show vulnerability, and express the desires of Rey and Osha.

Dragon Age being mostly dormant for a whole decade outside of a few novels, comics and Absolution is so funny because it means there's an entire generation of people who've never heard of it, and are now baffled as to why all their fellow Baldur's Gate 3 fans are 'jumping ship'.

They're not jumping ship, they're going home.
