the foreboding sense of doom? oh yeah i know that one. just double check you have your wallet, keys and some chapstick, works every time
was expecting to reblog this with a tongue-in-cheek reply to the many people saying "this didn't fix me :(" but somehow not a single person in the notes is disagreeing. everyone's just nodding their heads thoughtfully bc yeah that's how you deal with the Foreboding Sense Of Doom, that's good protocol

Me when the obviously doomed character doesn't get a happy ending
Diana Wynne Jones wins big once again for understanding that the funniest way to write an isekai/portal fantasy is from the point of view of the people living in the fantasy world who look at the character who got isekai’d from our world and are like ‘WHAT is that guy’s deal???’
Howl/Howell stumbling back into his moving castle drunk after a night with his rugby bros is like the second funniest scene in that book, closely followed by poor Sophie getting reverse isekai’d and taking a day trip to Wales and suffering the terrible ordeal of a ride in a car.
obsessed with the fact that howl movingcastle is, like, the ideal portal fantasy protagonist. he's a welsh rugby-playing grad student who enters a magical world where he discovers he's a wildly powerful wizard. there's an evil witch out to get him and the king needs his help and there's a curse catching up with him. he has a magical creature sidekick and an orphan apprentice and a mentor who gets killed by the evil witch halfway through and a love interest under a terrible curse. the story is BEGGING for him to be the main character. and he's just like. no <3.
Hey it's 2025 why are we still not believing that Kris is the Deltarune version of Frisk. Genuine question. Like the themes and plot of the game are not at all diminished by the fact that Deltarune Kris is Undertale Frisk the same way that Deltarune Undyne is Undertale Undyne. Like would we be arguing that Deltarune Undyne wasn't Undertale Undyne if she was called Udine or something despite the fact she looked and acted the same ?? Genuine question
living weapon who’s never been treated as anything other than an object and has never been shown a drop of sympathy or compassion suddenly falling into the hands of a carewhumper. they’re given privileges, comfort, affection.
…and it is the most uncomfortable they’ve ever felt in their entire life. this isn’t how it’s supposed to be. this isn’t what they were made for.
many will tell you that the dog motif is passé and cliché and overdone . don't listen to them. keep chaining that fictional man to a fence
Heh, I still got it. I thought I was losing my edge, it’s been so long since the last death threat. But your boy’s still got it.
Darn, imagine holding on to THAT of all things, misrepresenting it, and still being bitter over it years later. Couldn’t be me, nor any other healthy functioning human being.

Sorry for da slow posts I am with the lovely wife and we are having a ball around town.
Imagine having a signifigant other
Don’t have to imagine because I have one. Hope this made you feel worse 👍
What she says: I'm fine.
What she means: How did women 100s of years ago control their periods? What did they use to collect the blood? Were tampons and pads invented yet, or did they use some sort of cloth? How did they get rid of bloodstains without bleach? How did they deal with cramps? Did they use crazy medical remedies like toothaches and stomachaches? I'm concerned and I want answers.

DID THIS SERIOUSLY STRAIGHT UP NOT SAVE MY LONG-ASS RESPONSE
FUCK THAT
I'LL REWRITE IT IN THE MORNING
I HAVE ANSWERS
OKAY IT IS MORNING NOW HERE ARE ANSWERS
MOSTLY FOCUSED ON THE 19TH CENTURY BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT I KNOW BEST
A LOT OF HISTORIANS (MOSTLY CIS MEN) WILL THROW UP THEIR HANDS AND SAY "WELL WE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY USED" BUT THAT IS BULLSHIT
MULTIPLE GYNECOLOGICAL TEXTS FROM THE 19TH CENTURY EXPLAIN EXACTLY WHAT MOST CIS WOMEN DID (DOCTORS LEARNED BY INTERVIEWING THEIR PATIENTS): THEY USED LONG CLOTH BANDAGES, PAD-LIKE, ATTACHED TO A RIBBON WAISTBAND AT BOTH ENDS. SOME EVEN MADE TAMPONS FROM COTTON-WOOL, WITH A STRING FIRMLY ATTACHED FOR REMOVAL. OTHERS CLAIMED THEY DID NOTHING AND JUST WORE AN EXTRA, THICK PETTICOAT, BUT AT LEAST ONE DOCTOR SUSPECTED THAT WAS ONLY EFFECTIVE WITH A VERY LIGHT FLOW
(DRAWERS WERE BASICALLY CROTCHLESS BACK THEN, HAVING CAUGHT ON DURING A FAD FOR SHORTER SKIRTS IN THE 1830S. BUT NOBODY WAS GOING TO SEE A LADY'S BITS- WHATEVER THOSE WERE, BECAUSE TRANS WOMEN WERE NOT INVENTED IN 1975 HEY FANNY PARK AND STELLA BOULTON I SEE YOU -UNDER LIKE FOUR LAYERS OF SKIRTS)
BLOOD STAINS CAN BE GOTTEN OUT QUITE EFFECTIVELY WITH SOAP, SALT, AND COLD WATER. HYDROGEN PEROXIDE WAS DISCOVERED IN 1818, SO BLEACHING AGENTS DID EXIST. THAT WOULD DO WELL ENOUGH FOR UNDERCLOTHES, OFTEN UNBLEACHED OR WHITE SO AS TO TAKE HEAVY WASHING WITHOUT COLORS RUNNING AND SUCH. OUTER GARMENTS MAY HAVE BEEN CLEANED OR, FOR THE WEALTHY, SIMPLY THROWN AWAY IF STAINED. I HAVE A FRIEND WHO SELLS ANTIQUE CLOTHING AND SHE'S FOUND CHEMISES (A BASIC WOMEN'S UNDERGARMENT LIKE A LONG LOOSE SHIRT THAT WENT RIGHT NEXT TO THE SKIN) WITH BLOODSTAINS AROUND THE CROTCH AREA, SO SOMETIMES I GUESS THEY WEREN'T TOO CONCERNED ABOUT GETTING STAINS ENTIRELY OUT OF THEIR UNDERWEAR. JUST LIKE TODAY
AS FOR PAIN, VARIOUS KINDS OF HERBAL REMEDIES LIKE WILLOW BARK TEA WERE POPULAR. WILLOW BARK CONTAINED THE ACTIVE INGREDIENT IN MODERN ASPIRIN, SO IT PROBABLY WORKED. LATER IN THE 19TH CENTURY, OPIATES (LAUDANUM) AND PATENT-MEDICINES (MOSTLY ALCOHOL; SOME HERBS) WERE USED. LYDIA PINKHAM'S VEGETABLE COMPOUND WAS A POPULAR MENSTRUAL REMEDY DESPITE BEING, AGAIN, MOSTLY ALCOHOL WITH SOME HERBS. I GUESS IF YOU'RE TIPSY YOU DON'T NOTICE CRAMPS AS MUCH? ANYWAY THE HERB BLACK COHOSH WAS POPULAR FOR CRAMPS, SO ANY MEDICINE ADVERTISED WITH THAT INGREDIENT WOULD PROBABLY SELL LIKE HOTCAKES
MEN WITH UTERII, I HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN YOU. UNFORTUNATELY, TRANS MEN BY NECESSITY LIVED VERY SECRETIVE LIVES (AT LEAST ABOUT PERSONAL HYGIENE MATTERS). I IMAGINE, THOUGH, THAT THEY KEPT DOING WHAT THEY WERE RAISED DOING SINCE ALMOST ALL I KNOW OF TRANSITIONED IN ADULTHOOD. SO PROBABLY ALL OF THE ABOVE. THEY HAD THE ADDED BENEFIT OF PANTS HELPING HOLD BANDAGES IN PLACE AND THE MASSIVE ADDED DRAWBACK OF "MUST KEEP BLOOD 100% HIDDEN OR MY ENTIRE LIFE WILL BE DESTROYED." PLEASE TO IMAGINE CHARLEY PARKHURST, LEGENDARY STAGECOACH DRIVER OF THE OLD WEST, PERFORMING ALL HIS ESCAPADES WITH A SCREAMING UTERUS. SO BADASS. FOUR FOR YOU CHARLEY PARKHURST; YOU GO CHARLEY PARKHURST
SO YEAH THAT IS SOME STUFF ABOUT MENSTRUATION IN THE 19TH CENTURY. SOURCES AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.
stay safe because i like being alive at the same time as you.
