historical european fantasy author you don’t have to make that Muslim/Jewish/North African/Central Asian character a ‘shady trader of foreign goods’ or a militaristic tyrant …. historical european fantasy author the scholars and intellectuals from those demographics were incredibly influential in middle ages Europe through their contributions in the field of Mathematics, Astrology, Philosophy, and basically all early groundwork for modern science…. historical european fantasy author if you’re writing a ‘scholar’ or monk type character whose only interactions are with other european texts and worldviews you’re being ahistorical… historical european fantasy author Edward Said already went over this

I had a dream that there was like this new kind of MRA that they invented somehow that were so annoying and over the top that even the regular MRAs started getting really annoyed with them. I don't remember exactly everything that they were doing, the one thing that I remember it is that being extremely wide was very important to them, and they did this thing to make themselves look extra wide that they called "taping" where they would use massive amounts of masking tape to like.... build scaffolding inside their clothes? like they would buy a jacket two sizes too big and then use tape to make it look filled out ? like shoulder pads but for everything and also done with tape. and they would criticize each other for their failures by being like "I bet you don't even tape"

For some reason, this is what I pictured.

THIS WAS EXACTLY IT

That's illegal, Nancy

another thing about setting hamlet at christmas is that it reflects the beautiful human experience of having a long holiday stay at your parents’ house that makes you feel like you are going insane

How many people have you lived with in your life (meaning, sharing place of residence, especially cooking areas, living areas, and/or bathrooms).

Group homes count, family counts, everyone in an apartment counts, not everyone in the entire apartment building counts.

I love stock photo sentences. This has been the new thing to repeat for me when things go wrong. A mentally ill man with psychological disorders is going crazy at home. The crazy man who is alone in his house is yelling.

whenever I get overstimulated I should be able to shake it off like this

Contemplating Helen again (as you do), and the variants of how she ends up in Troy and fandom's engagement with it.

There is unquestionably interesting/worthy things to explore in a scenario where Helen was kidnapped (+/- no attraction to Paris prior to kidnapping). If nothing else, this, much like the situation for the enslaved women of various status and position in the Achaean camp, has been part of many women's lived experience (if not quite that extreme), in the past. Lack of agency/denied agency is important to delve into, and is still something women have to deal with a lot.

But equally is the version where Helen went willingly (with some actual understanding of how the ancient Greeks looked at ate, divine influence and mortal responsibility under it etc) reflects women's lived experience and has its own worth to explore. Taking agency against societal expectation and despite the danger/that it will fuck you up - women have done this too, for something as "frivolous" as love and lust.

And neither of these two options for how Helen ends up in Troy are any more or less misogynistic. I hope we can all understand that the "perfect" virtuous wife who has never had any thoughts of attraction to any other man but her husband and is chaste, in heart if not in body when she's taken, is actually not a neutral and not-misogynistic idea of a woman. The ~loose slut~ who runs off willingly, abandoning her husband and child(ren) is perhaps more obviously a misogynistic idea of a woman, but both of these, if from opposite ends contain the same core.

Especially when "Helen left willingly" can be portrayed in several different ways. (For example, a more "evil" version where she really doesn't care about the side effects or eventual results of doing this, or someone more considering of it but who still, in the end, leaves.)

The way we engage with either of these two possibilities, built up on and responding to both ancient sources and modern adaptations, is not neutral. Neither is better or more feminist than the other just in the choice of path - it's about what you do with it, and how.

adhd is fun bc everything I got taught is backwards

a good day makes good sleep

starting with a lil treat gets the work done

More things to do is less overwhelming

don’t make a plan just get in there

you’ll never take good care of what you don’t like so throw it out (this one is my favorite bc it’s easy to see what you don’t like)

Incredible addition

don’t put the thing on the shelf put the shelf under the thing

if you know where it is you dont use it very often
