Me, 2008: *refuses to wear any fandom merch* *hides to watch cartoons* *doesn’t talk about anything related to animated shows* Y-yeah, I’m cool.

Me, 2018: So here’s my psychological analysis on Sasuke Uchiha that I’m doing for my college midterm.

Killer B Vs Sasuke

princeescaluswords

The sixth sequence might be my favorite sequence in the entirety of the anime. There are more triumphant fight scenes, but the moment that always hits me in the gut is when Sasuke’s mouth drops open. I know what’s going on, and no voice-over has to tell me that Sasuke’s sharingan is being overwhelmed.

That’s animation at its best.

Ichiraku Ramen Stand | Through the generations.

So I just now learned about Stagecoach Mary and how have I never heard of this absolute LEGEND of a woman before

She was born a slave and freed when the Emancipation Proclamation was issued (she was about 30)

She was about six feet tall and 200 pounds and once she was free she decided she’d never take shit from anyone ever again

When one of her close friends, a nun by the name of Mother Amadeus, became ill with pneumonia at her convent in Montana, Mary headed alone into the frontier to nurse Mother Amadeus back to health

After Mother Amadeus recovered, she gave Mary a job as the foreman of the convent. She repaired buildings, took care of chickens, made the long and dangerous journeys into town for supplies, and did other odd jobs.

She could drink most men under the table, and one saloon offered five bucks and a free shot of whiskey to any man who could take a punch to the face from Mary and remain standing.

She was once said by a local paper to have broken more noses than anyone else in Montana

She was outspokenly Republican, which at this time was the liberal party in America, and would get into political debates with the more conservative townsfolk

One time a man insulted her outside the saloon so hit him in the face with a rock, and only stopped when other cowboys held her back.

On one supply run into town, her wagon overturned and the horses fled. Mary spent all night single-handedly fending off a pack of wolves with her guns before she righted the heavy wagon by herself and tracked down the spooked horses. The only thing lost in the accident was a jar of molasses.

She lost her job at the convent when she got into a gunfight with a male employee who did not want to take orders from a black woman. She reportedly shot him in the ass, which angered the local bishop.

After losing her convent job, Mary spent a brief time running a restaurant, where she welcomed and served all comers

When a job for a mail carrier opened at the local US Post Office, Mary got the job because she managed to hitch six horses to a wagon faster than any of the male candidates

She was sixty at the time

This made her the first black woman mail carrier, and the second woman mail carrier in US history

When the snows were too deep for the horses to manage the long and dangerous delivery routes, Mary would strap on snowshoes, put the bags of mail on her shoulders, and do it herself

At one point she apparently had a pet eagle????

She only retired from the mail route when she was about 70 years old, and instead made a quieter living by babysitting and running a laundry business in the town of Cascade

She was a huge baseball fan and often gave the local team a big bouquet of flowers from her garden

The people of Cascade loved Mary so much that they closed the schools annually on her birthday

When a law was passed in Montana that forbade women from drinking in saloons, the mayor of Cascade granted Mary an exemption.

When her house burned down, the whole town got together to help her build a new one

She continued drinking, fighting, and going to baseball games until she died of liver failure at 82 in 1914

Mary (far right) and the local baseball team

Anyway sorry for gushing I just now heard about her and I’m in love

↪ THE UNTAMED (2019)《陈情令》

millenniumfae

This is a very popular historical fantasy serial, originally an online novel that was adapted into a manhua, podcast, and then finally a live-action show. It features two married warriors, both men, as they battle mysteries and conspiracies.

China wouldn’t have allowed the tv adaptation to exist without censoring the queer relationship between the male characters, but this show still contains much of the original romance while careful to keep it ‘subtle’. It’s a mark of progress for China to even allow that much.

Historically, China has many records of men and women going through union ceremonies amongst themselves, but marriage has never been recognized by government. As media like this becomes more popular, that’s likely to change in the near future.

Watch the show here on Netflix!
