If anyone has an easier way of remembering all this I would actually do anything.

i also have a pet theory that cersei and jaime are semi-identical twins (since they were apparently indistinguishable until secondary sex characteristics kicked in), and thus are technically chimeras of one another, but chimerism is like. my default answer for when canon material doesn’t quite appear to understand how twins work (otherwise, being different sexes, cersei and jaime would have to be fraternal twins and would be no more likely to be identical than regular siblings).

for bonus fun, that means cersei could be like 3% XY (they’d both most likely be genetically intersex to some degree, even if it never shows up physically), and lends her fury at being crammed into a female gender role that much more irony.

[shoopdelangalang]

I don’t think you understand what a chimera is, but that sounds more like mosaicism. Do you have sources for any of this? Especially the 3% XY cause I’ve never heard of that, and even tried searching for it but nothing came up.

Queen Hatshepsut of Ancient Egypt. She has a lovely smile for someone who’s been dead for thousands of years.

[jillyaintfromphilly]

she wasn’t a queen. she was a pharaoh and wanted to be referred to as such. she even had her statues modeled after the male pharaoh’s statues to state her dominance and authority. she was actually one of the most successful pharaohs in all of ancient egyptian history and she reigned longer than any other woman in power in egypt.

[cumleak-deactivated20210627]

damn no wonder she died and smiled for a trillion years afterwards

[inspect-hergadget]

The fact that we know about her is marvelous.

the next Pharaoh after her Tuthmosis III  tried to erase Hatshepsut out of history ,chiseled her name off her monuments ,covered the text on her obelisks with stone,knocked down and defaced her statues .

she was even left off the list of pharaohs ..talk about some patriarchy bullshit

her name was lost for a couple of millennia, her body was found in a unmarked grave  in early twentieth century

sad part is in Egyptian belief is  if your are forgotten in the living world you don’t exist in the afterlife,so he was trying to kill her even in death 

[trustno---1]

My best friend throwing down some herstory. A+ commentary

[mothensidhe-deactivated20151028]

She wore a fake beard, you guys. She was the fucking boss.

[ruthlessdilettante]

If we remember her now does that save her from an awful afterlife?

[awenyddogamulosx-blog]

I’m just picturing the Kemetic afterlife. All the Pharaohs are hanging out in some kind of swanky club, drinking and congratulating each other on being bros. 

The doors slam open and Hatshepsut strides in, glorious, robes swirling, rocking the fake beard and the insane amounts of wealth and power. “Miss me, bitches?” 

[airdramon]

Then she punches Tuthmosis III straight in the dick.

[stach3nscarf3n]

still wearing that smile of course

[ashermajestywishes]

That’s a “fuck you all, I’ll be back” smile

@xvnot15

[shoopdelangalang]

So no mention of how all the Pharoahs wore fake beards? 

And why have you gotta make this to be some patriarchal bullshit? When Marcus Antony died he suffered “damnatio memoriae” along with hundreds. of. other. people. in history. male. or. female.  Did poor Antony have anything to do with the patriarchy? No.

Haven’t felt this shit in ages.

[shoopdelangalang]

11 months today since you left. There hasn't been a single day gone by where you haven't been in my thoughts, and the fact you were in my dream last night I do not believe to be a coincidence. The world truly lost some of its sparkle when you left, you were a diamond in a world of coal. I still can't believe you're not here, it feels like a bad dream. I miss you everyday and I will see you again. Rest in peace Herb, I love you.

[shoopdelangalang]

For a tiny cat she sure is long!
