They just had her walking around like that. Lesbitron 5000
Look if a garment is like. Wool or silk. And it’s like, don’t put me in the fucking wash. I’m like yeah of course ma’am I shall lightly dab you with a damp cloth and air you out so you don’t get stinky. But when a polyester garment is like “hand wash only” I’m like who the FUCK do you think you are. You’re plastic. Get in the drum.
some of you are not cis and the thing is that you don't even have to do anything about it. you can just be like "damn that's crazy" and move on with your life. you don't have to change your name. you don't have to change your pronouns. you don't have to choose which flavor of not-cis you are. you don't have to change your wardrobe. you don't have to come out or cut your hair or reinvent yourself. you can just be like "huh neato!" and let that be that. you don't owe anyone a performance of your queerness. not even other queer people. ok that's all thank you and goodbye
honestly i think the selling point of romance for me (and where it usually fails to land) is 'can i imagine these people sharing an in-joke'
like, are they in cahoots. can they laugh together. do they have a similar enough or at least complementary enough outlook that they can connect over something being funny (even if it's funny in a fucked up way! sometimes those are the best in-jokes!)
that's not necessarily true love in and of itself, but it does feel like an essential component to me
#this is frequently an essential ingredient to me for enemies-to-lovers ships #and almost always an essential ingredient where at least one character is objectively an evil fucking asshole #sorry we have too much shared context now and we're friends against our will (and then we're fucking)
in 2026, remember how GOOD writing feels. remember how satsfying it is to get your characters to the point you have been dying to get to, where they will experience the love, fear, relief or whatever the feeling you want to bring to life may be. let this year be the year of writing, prgress and of satisfactory endings.
I don't know who needs to hear this today, but "second sleep" as a widespread societal thing in the past is highly debated. I read the main 2004 paper on which that whole theory is based, and it seemed to me that the author (Robert Ekrich) just took examples from literature, letters, and diaries of people talking about waking up in the night and doing something before they fell asleep again, and tried to say that it was a codified Thing
Some of his sources did use the term "second sleep," but it wasn't like "this is a thing called second sleep that we all know and acknowledge and experience." It was like "I woke up at 2 a.m. and had trouble getting back to sleep, so I read a book, and my second sleep was deep and pleasant." People use that term, but the phenomenon was just… Waking up in the middle of the night occasionally. Not some grand secret of natural circadian rhythms that capitalism forced us to abandon
Generally speaking, I would recommend that people be wary of any bold claims regarding the secret way humans are wired to do things that our ancestors understood and we have forgotten. Or at the very least, read the actual paper
(it's so weird. He's like "this is what the first sleep was called! This is what the interval in between was called!" And then you read the paper and look up some of the primary sources in context, and it's just. people talking about waking up in the middle of the night and using terms to describe waking up in the middle of the night, but not really much to suggest that it was actually something everyone experienced as a Known Everyday Phenomenon)
xena has a lot of moments which belong in the sapphic hall of fame but the underwater kiss has gotta be right up there....... that wet hair toss at the end still lives rent free in my head
"xena: the warrior princess" is kinda misleading, cause she wasn't a warrior princess, she was a warlord. a murdering and pillaging one, you know. she was in fact so good at warmongering that Ares, the god of war himself was like damn girl you can just hit me up whenever and then we'll conquer the world together? please? and then to seduce her, he showed her a bunch of his ideas for new social programs and tax breaks they'd impute into their new world
True, but let’s not forget that it was her ‘good friend’ and implied past lover Loa Ma who gave her the name Warrior Princess. If Xena had been able to let go of her hate in the past she would have ruled Chin alongside Lao Ma as her “Warrior Princess”. I like to think she chose the name as an homage to Lao Ma who was a big part of Xena’s path to redemption.
When depressed, watch Xena. You may still be depressed, but at least you're watching Xena now!
Sorry I’m late I was touching soft moss on a stone wall
We need to bring up that Ursula K LeGuin quote about commodified fantasy more often. We need to be meaner.
