Just another NORMAL day in the Jojo household! This wasn’t canon in the original show but I thought it would be fun for Butch to have the ability to turn into slime (and I wanted to show the boys having an existential crisis after seeing this happen lol). No one outside of his family knows about this so the Jojo bros have done a very good job keeping it low key...😬 Side note: I posted a few bonus drawings of Boomer and Brick’s day with slimy Butch on my Patreon for the Sweeeet and Mmmm Yessss tiers

Two things we're celebrating today: 1. The celebration of love. Yeah, it's Valentine's Day. 2. It's been - conveniently - 7 days since the release of my very first mixtape, and I've been getting amazing feedback. (I guess we're back to number 1) So in the Spirit of Valentine, I'd like send all my love to @mr_funtor who co-wrote the song "Fingers" and literally hyped the entire project together with @phantomhipster and the entire @indietropolis and @rockazworld communities. Thank you @leonardokonta for constantly "pressuring" me to make more music. (I hope you're happy now) I'd also like to blow a truckload of kisses to @edgothboy and @obiechezor for their creative ideas towards the promotion of this mixtape. (More on that later 😉) And for everyone else who kept posting and reposting and tweeting and retweeting, thanks a million. I loooove you all so much. With all my heart, Raldie (at Lagos, Nigeria) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt24BCSHULs/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=vsftrrbakhg9

A snippet of “Midnight” . . . This happened to be the very first song that was written for the EP that is now known as RIVERS and at the time, I had nooooooo idea what I wanted to do with this project. It was more or less a stream of consciousness kind of thing for me, and it turned out right. . . . BIG SHOUT-OUT to Funtor (@mr_funtor) the primary songwriter for Midnight. We make such a great team, don’t we? 😉 . . . St. James: RIVERS EP is up for streaming on SoundCloud . . . #RIVERS #EP #electronica #alternative #alternativemusic #ambient #alternativeRnB #TripHop #NowPlaying #MadeInNigeria #Music #RaldieYoung (at Lagos, Nigeria)

History wants so badly for Cleopatra to be beautiful. Like they can’t conceive of Rome being intimidated by anything less

[terpsikeraunos]

because being a linguist, fleet commander, and powerful ruler doesn’t matter, only her looks

[destroymales-deactivated2023032]

Her Arab contemporaries raved about her being very interested and knowledgeable in the sciences.

She completely reformed the system in Alexandria, and Egypt at large; making it much more of a functional powerhouse. 

She did what 300 years of her ancestors couldn’t: Managed to get the support of both the Greek AND Egyptian subjects she ruled.

There is a sculpture that has been identified as her, through comparisons to coins minted under her rule, that proves beyond a doubt that she wasn’t particularly beautiful.

It isn’t that people just happen to believe it by mistake. Rome was fucking terrified of her and painted her as a vapid, scheming, beautiful, sex obsessed queen to discredit her to their people. She was a threat, and that was how they handled it. The unfortunate thing is that that is the most surviving record of her. A smear campaign against one of the smartest, most powerful women in human history. 

[jinxmyride-deactivated20161103]

This is a woman who became her father’s co-ruler at nearly 14 years old in order to train for her actual ascension to the throne, who was forced to marry her own siblings in order to keep her power, and it’s widely believed that she poisoned them so she could rule alone. She’s a Pharaoh who led Egypt into a new era of wealth, who went fearlessly into war to protect her rule and Egypt’s independence from the Roman empire, a woman who took her own life rather than face being raped and tortured by her conquerors, knowing full well that she was leaving her surviving children in their uncertain mercy. Cleopatra is one of the most interesting, morally ambiguous, complexing historical figures we have and the media has turned her into a tantalizing sex object for the male gaze.

Even after Cleopatra died her influence on those around her lived on: her daughter, Cleopatra Selene, was the only child of Cleopatra’s to live to adulthood, and she became queen of Mauretania along with her husband Juba and it’s believed they married for love, which was extremely rare for that time period, especially among nobles/the upper class. Not only did she grow up in the house of her mother’s worst enemy and technical murderer, but she still went on to become a queen who possessed an equal amount of political power as her husband, even having her face minted on coins on the opposite side of his likeness, showing they were equal rulers.

Cleopatra and her influence on history, and her daughter’s legacy, have both been brushed aside in favour of the sexy Cleopatra visage. It’s bullshit. Egyptian mythology is interesting and vivid, and full of powerful women and it’s bullshit that we take some of the most powerful women in Africa’s history and try to turn them into fashion icons or sluts who only ruled through toying with men.

I LIVE FOR PEOPLE TO KNOW THIS, people still refuse to believe that a woman can/could have achieved anything without beauty or fucking magical powers

HIM #3

The voices in my head never stop screaming They never stop singing praises Worshipping my shortcomings Begging for my death My end My loss My journey of despair My return to the waters I'm made of All that's left is the hands of blood The vision of my crimson red streams Flowing through the sitting room And the memory of everyone's spotlight And my last matchstick All I want to do All I want to feel Is nothing Dark black nothing The infinite inexistence That I'm made of
