reading a historical romance novel and reflecting on the way these stories often present woke nobility for the contemporary reader. a big thing is servants. you can’t not have servants in those times but many modern readers think “but I would never have servants. it would be so weird to have servants” and in order to make the protagonists of the story more relatable they are actually friends with the servants. but flip your perspective and think of it from the side of the servants. wouldn’t it be so awful if your boss was always trying to be friends with you. a really common thing you’ll see is the woke baronet having tea in the kitchen with the servants bc he’s not like other baronets. but what if your boss wanted to hang out and talk during your lunch break every day. not so charming when you think about it that way

When you risk it all on a new mascara you've never tried and its actually good shit

I do find it mildly interesting that the stereotype of feminine guy leans into cutesy/sweet feminine (unless you count the catty/flamboyant stereotype, which seems specific to gay guys). Where are the femme fatale femboys at

It is kinda funny when people try to point to mainstream monster fucker movies as proof that the average viewer and/or average woman can handle an ugly/monstrous man better that the reverse but then you realize they're talking about like, Jacob elordi in makeup. Like I do genuinely think if I made a romance oriented film with zoe kravitz in practical effects medusa makeup men would be jerking it to her just as much. Likewise, you don't see too many women thirsting over the phantom from the 1925 film

we’re so lucky that gilgamesh survived and is a banger. can you imagine if we found the oldest written human story ever recorded and it sucked balls.

the worst part of summer is that people get sooo comfortable expressing their disgust at having to see other people’s bodies. they’re always complaining about wrinkly old men at the nude hot springs or fat women in bikinis at the beach. I hate that shit. if you’re not capable of being normal about bodies you personally don’t find attractive, just turn your head to look at something else! and if you’re not smart enough to do that, then at least do the rest of us the courtesy of suffering in silence, because we don’t wanna hear your weird comments. thanks.
