This is from call the midwife and I was howling at this scene

[jenndoesnotcare]

I just left my husband alone with our two children for sixteen days. I was not worried about anything regarding the house, their food, or their wellbeing. I put all the appointments in the family calendar and my husband checked it and kept them. I literally did not worry about them. I missed them, and I was sad that they missed me, but I didn’t worry about them AT ALL. I need to impress upon you all that I missed their company, but was not worried for their welfare.

I also did no meal prep. I don’t even think I went shopping right before I left.

This is not about apples and oranges. This isn’t even about my husband. This is about the fact that this is apparently WEIRD.

Another mum at my daughter’s school is leaving for ten days. She’s taking her youngest (who is a very small baby) and leaving her husband with their two girls. She has been cooking for days preparing freezer meals. She’s panicking and deputizing her six year old to remind him how to make school lunches. AND I AM APPALLED.

A) He is definitely not helpless. (He’s a doctor or something.) What gendered bullshit. B) THAT LITTLE GIRL IS NOT OLD ENOUGH TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR HER AND HER SISTER’S WELLBEING. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK. C) Why is she married to this person and creating children with him if he’s this big of an idiot?

While she was laughingly recounting this, the other mums were nodding and smiling sympathetically, like oh yes, I too have my caveman at home!! Such managing required! I was the only one who was like “Dude, he’ll be fine. Literally. He will be fine.” I said it a lot. She was not convinced. She kept bringing up her older daughter. She’ll be like a little mum!

NO.

NO NO NO NO.

NO.

Straight women, don’t do this shit. It’s gross. Don’t infantilize your husbands and then expect your daughters to pick up the slack. So fucking gross. So. So. GROSS.

The fact that so many adults think a six year old girl is more capable of learning and performing basic domestic tasks than a grown-ass man says it all, really. 

[parentheticalaside]

This stuff is so toxic and awful. I told a car full of women one time that I refused to be in another relationship until I met a man who was capable of making his own doctors’ appointments and washing the dishes. They told me I was going to die alone.

Fuck this shit. Don’t enable men’s incompetence and label it cute.

no man will ever be as attractive as aragorn during his first appearance on lord of the rings: the fellowship of the ring (2001)

[garrulus]

i nominate aragorn opening those giant doors in lord of the rings: the two towers (2002)

[mintkitten07]

Can I also nominate Aragorn raising his sword and running towards orcs with masses of ghosts behind him in Lord of the Rings: The return of the king (2003)?

[katsdisturbed]

I wanted visuals.

“You can criticize something you love!”

Yeah, and you can also get tired of criticizing something you love. You can get completely fed up with it and decide, “You know what? Flaws aside, I love this thing, and I don’t have to waste hours of my life admitting its flaws to strangers on the Internet in order to somehow justify my love of it.” You can get sick of watching others gleefully tear it apart, for no reason other than that it’s popular and they hate that you love it. You can get sick of watching others tearing it apart with good intentions, too.

In the end, it’s just a cartoon, or a book, or a movie. It’s not that serious, and you can enjoy it without hyper-focusing on its flaws. You don’t need to justify your love of something to someone else, least of all a person you don’t even know.

Ryan Reynolds is officially my favorite person

modern au star wars. rey, poe and finn all live in a one bedroom apartment with poe’s corgi. rey doesn’t have a social security number. leia signed the lease so poe would stop sleeping on her couch. hux is kylo’s manager at the gamestop

[femcassidy]

han and leia are divorced but have been living together anyway. luke lives on a ranch in the middle of nowhere in arizona and they used to visit him every christmas but eventually leia got tired of trying to figure out what “ok so there will be no signs at this point, but after three hours you’ll see a rock. turn there” means

[femcassidy]

luke and han are the exact opposite sides of the antigovernment spectrum, which becomes a problem after luke realises he really loves drones

[femcassidy]

luke was raised on the ranch by obiwan, who has technically been squatting there since the 60s

[femcassidy]

padme had a will but anakin just had a piece of paper that said he thought obiwan should have his dogs and also his sword collection

[femcassidy]

luke refuses to mail anything so when he wants leia to have something he just drives to california and puts the package on her porch. he has a really poor concept of what leia needs, could use or would like so half the time she opens these 20 year old boxes signed “LUKE, YOUR BROTHER” in fading pen to discover, like, a broken tv and a note that says “can han use this for anything?”

Joyce Byers (Winona Ryder) is one of the best written characters and is a saint.  She is a wonderful mother.  You see that her son has a password for his fort.  She remembered the password and respected his rules, and he trusts her with the password.

You see the pride she has in providing things her kids love despite her low income.  “what kind of a mother can’t afford markers?”  You can tell it’s a struggle and that she wants the best for her kids.  Will is missing a red crayon and not only is she is taking an interest in his art, she cant stand to see him limited.

I love she knew where Jonathan wanted to go to college since he was 6.  My mom cant tell you things like that.

She’s over worked and underpaid but she takes the time to pay attention to her kids.

These scenes just break my heart and anchor her and us as the audience in her search for her missing son.

‘A Wrinkle in Time’ Is Just As Important As Black Panther

Marvel Studios’ upcoming Black Panther film, directed by Ryan Coogler, is being celebrated for the cast’s inclusivity and the film’s respect to African culture (at least so far). …

“If A Wrinkle in Time succeeds at the box office, it could open the door for not only more directors of color being given budges of $100 million+, it could also lead to non-white leads being cast in films. Maybe, our dream of seeing Percy Jackson adapted with three non-white leads could actually happen.”

[sly2o]

“Black Panther is a special situation, because it’s Black characters from the comic books. They couldn’t exactly change the race of T’Challa and his cast; they would be fundamentally changing the story, and the point of it. T’Challa’s Blackness is something special, something that adds to his royalty. But with A Wrinkle in Time, these characters could have been any race. They could have been white. But Ava chose to make a majority of them people of color – which is tremendously important.”

I’m strong. You know that. And I can cope with the truth. I just demand to know the truth. It’s when people don’t tell me the truth that I can’t bear it.
