Yon | 30 something | whatever pronoun is okay | Random reblogs and drawings. This is a personal blog, it's not recommended for kids younger than 15 years old. I don't post explicit stuff, but I do reblog erotic content. Beware! My art tag is "Drawing stuff". |
guys….,, being friends, like actual friends, with people you have systemic privilege over is going to involve some good-natured ribbing. it’s going to involve them complaining about [insert privileged group you belong to] in front of you or even to you. that’s not a personal attack, it’s because they think you’re cool enough to hang. it’s because they think they can express their frustration to you without you attacking them. you really want to prove them wrong?

The fact that “dolls having a tea party” has stuck around in the public consciousness is fascinating to me.
Like, back in the Old Days that would be a way that women would actually socialize. So if a girl had a doll tea party, she was imitating her mom / other contemporary women.
But these days contemporary women don’t have tea parties. So now, the idea of “dolls having a tea party” is an echo of an extinct behavior, only repeated and referenced because it used to be so prevalent.
So a Barbie in a big hat themed for a tea party is a bit like if they made Transformers that turned into stagecoaches and horse-drawn buggies.
Like I wouldn’t buy the fuck out of stagecoach transformers

Look at them. Gorgeous. Wonderful. Living comfortably at depths to over 1,200 meters in the ocean. Be nice to them.

In today’s linguistics class we talked about metaphors, and we really want two of the ones we talked about to become conventionalised.
So first of all this one girl told us about a newer metaphor in Russian, “I have paws”, which is something you say when you don’t really want to do something, so you say you’re incapable of doing it since you have paws instead of hands. Like, “hey, finish that report” “aw but I have paws :(” and I think that’s adorable. It’s like “I’m just a girl” but for animals.
We also had the task to invent a novel metaphor and have the others guess what it means, and the teacher really liked my “she’s such a capybara” = “everyone loves her”. Capybara energy is like golden retriever energy except you’re chill about it. You’re just vibing and everyone digs that.
Anyway I think these deserve to become more common in English
VERY important addition oh my gosh,,,
Okay, this is not exactly right, “how mighty your big paws are” came from this meme
Which roughly translates to: “who’s going first? Couldn’t he make a beeline or something?” “idk maybe he’s bow-legged or cockeyed lol” “I’m really fucking tired of stomping around this fucking ditch” “ugh who cares? be grateful we’re moving at all” and finally the head wolf going “I’m a big bad woolly wolf, I’m so fucking great, my paws are mighty strong!!!” and it’s genuinely one of my fave things to say, cheers me up every time!

The Gay Butterfly Effect
in 2015, Sasha Belle, 2nd eliminated contestant on season 7 of RPDR, wore a visible black bra underneath a nude mesh bodysuit for a “nude illusion” runway challenge in the first episode of the season. the judges criticized her for this decision and she defended herself by stating that she “misunderstood the assignment.” as happens in gay culture, gays across the internet start using a variation of this phrase to praise certain artists, typically female popstars, for the quality of their work by stating they “understood the assignment.” inevitably, this bit of gay slang diffuses across the internet and starts being adopted by other gays, their hags, and non-hags who hear it from the gays and their hags. over a decade later, at the earliest dawn of the year of our lord 2026, i am watching jumanji on network television with my boyfriend and a commercial for a new “modern” bath installation company airs with the biracial millennial narrator stating that said bath company “understands the assignment.” And i ponder the diffusion of obscure inside jokes across culture and how the 6-figure advertising executives who wrote the commercial likely have no clue about Sasha belle’s dumbass and that fucking black bra

Extremely excellent, very very very autistic quote from Brennan Lee Mulligan:
“Curiosity is love for the world, and when you love something, you want to get to know it more. So when you share facts about crows or pterodactyls or whatever, what you are expressing is gratitude for the ability to exist in and come to understand the beauty of the world around you.”
“When you tell someone that you don’t like all the crow facts, you’re…
"You’re actually saying that you hate me. I am my crow facts.”
