saddest thing that can happen to 2 guys with freak shit going on is people calling them boyfriends. yes i know theyve got something homosexual going on but brother it is NOT that

[crimson-rots]

you guys realise that the point of media isnt just to find 2 white men and make them fit into your boxes. right? "suburban husbands" is not the end goal for every relationship. sometimes two guys just have to have freak shit going on.

[crimson-rots]

listen to me. ok? i take your hand very gently. not every person is going to love each other in the way you've been taught. sometimes people just want to fuck around with each other. sometimes they're special to each other without definitions involved. sometimes soulmates are never going to get married. even when they love each other. yes, even when they love each other romantically. sometimes theres freak shit going on and that freak shit won't end with "boyfriends". ok?

[crimson-rots]

the world can be so beautiful. sometimes they just get married for tax benefits and then never address it again. the characters' self-reflection doesnt HAVE to fix their freak shit. the bit doesn't have to stop just because people go to therapy

[crimson-rots]

THEY WOULD NOT FUCKING HAVE KIDS.

If you stay up late to hang out with friends I don’t think you should have to be tired in the morning. I think it should be a freebie

Having a traumatic childhood means you cannot talk even objectively about your basic foundational experiences without it being "venting", even if you're not actually venting. You just straight up have a huge chunk of your life you can't talk about, full stop, without it being trauma dumping.

And it not being socially acceptable to talk about your own childhood is super alienating. Sometimes people want to know why, and any answer you can give them is going to be off putting.

It's to the point I get irritated when something I said is framed as venting when I'm literally just talking about my life experiences, doing my best to keep emotion out of it.

when I was in high school, I overheard two older students talking about a friend of theirs.

One of them said something like, "it doesn't bother me that [Friend] was in residential mental health treatment, I just wish they wouldn't talk about it ALL the time".

The other replied, "Well, that was all of last year for them. So when they say 'when I was in treatment,' it's like when you say 'last year'."

I try to remember that any time someone says something that sounds Shocking to me. sometimes one person's scary special crisis is another person's last year.

If you want to be accepting of mental illness, you need to accept the fact that some people's everyday lives are going to be terrifying to you. That doesn't mean they don't get to talk about it. Stop forcing hurt, isolated people to become even MORE hurt and isolated because you can't fathom toughening up a bit.

this might be kind of a reach but is there a way for printers to connect to devices so that documents can be printed from them

i will always champion finding a recent translation when reading an ancient text but i do also think there is value in learning how to read older translations and especially how to read them critically. for one thing it's a snapshot of how a work was perceived at a specific time and by a specific person, but also those translations do have literary value and may reveal something about the source text that you won't find in something newer. and it's also the case that newer translations can have many of the same flaws, because we are still in a racist misogynist etc. world.

like, never trust the word "servant" in a translation of an ancient text--that servant is inevitably a slave. if anyone says "God" singular, with a capital g, they are lying to you.* if they spend too long on particular features of a woman's body, proceed with caution.** if something sexual is being communicated via euphemism, consider that it may have been much cruder and/or more explicit in the original, especially if you're reading comedy or elegy. etc. etc. etc. learning to recognize common ways in which translation is affected by the morals and standards of a given time period is really useful.

*with the caveat that plato does sometimes reference "the god," and to be fair, plato does have the vibe of a guy who really really wanted to be monotheist and also serves as a blueprint for a ton of christian thought so i do concede that "God" may be a valid translation choice there.

** the greeks and romans were also misogynist in their descriptions of women's bodies but sometimes the translators like to one-up them. translation is not free from women who breast boobily for no known reason.

To the glistening eastern sea, I give you Queen Lucy the Valiant. To the great western wood, King Edmund the Just. To the radiant southern sun, Queen Susan the Gentle. And to the clear northern sky, I give you King Peter the Magnificent.

Once a king or queen of Narnia, always a king or queen. May your wisdom grace us until the stars rain down from the heavens.

I appreciate the fact that susan and Peter are both worried about caspian getting out of the castle but neither of them worry about edmund because of course edmund can get out on his own but caspian can't because he proved to them that he's an idiot

[libblyster-deactivated20231011]

this made me laugh out loud 😂

[queen-lucy-the-valiant]

its even funnier when you realize that of the two of them, ed was actually in more danger, caspian at least was in the courtyard and could have left basically any time, edmund was the one who got himself cornered in a tower. like, they should be worried about their brother who's run off who knows where in a castle he's not familiar with, instead of caspian who grew up there and in theory knows his way around, but no

[confessions-of-a-bookworm]

They're probably more worried about the people who have to fight Ed. How humiliating it must be for them to lose to a teenage boy who can kill with mere words.

That scene where Ed jumps from the tower and the Telmarine soldiers look down wondering why would he do that and Edmund just casually flies back up on the griffin's back - iconic!

[queen-lucy-the-valiant]

ed is just iconic in the whole movie, like his line in the treasure chamber when they first get back, when he duels trumpkin, and when he's challenging miraz

if you see me liking contradicting headcanons for the same character just know it's because I do not give a fuck and I have an active imagination #hewouldsaythat
