This one is pissing me off because there’s cheese in it. I’m not sure there’s a period of Chinese dynastic history wherein the type of dudes likely to be having rap battles would also have been familiar with hard cheese. There’d be political fucking implications to that. Fermented dairy products were often seen as uncivilized foods, and were associated in particular with northern “barbarian” cuisine (see: <lactose intolerance in Eurasia>), whereas competitive poetry was viewed as a civilized and scholarly pastime appropriate to civil servants and courtiers. Mentioning cheese in a verse which also references the heavens could be seen as an effort to legitimize the presence of these dangerous foreign elements within Chinese society, and, thus, as seditious. If dairy were to become a common theme in rap battles, it might be viewed as a dangerous sign of poor morale and defeatist thinking among the literati. “Emperor, we have got to move the capital to the south. The scholars are rapping about cheese. It’s all falling apart.”
Now this is a fucking post
Okay but doesn’t this legitimize the use of cheese as a derogatory tool in this verse?
Because the whole point is that the wife of the opponent is bad and stupid. If cheese is babaric, then doesn’t it make perfect sense to demean her by claiming she loves it so much she wears it all over AND inflicts it on the heavens, committing a transgression inconceivable to anyone with even the tiniest speck of good taste?
Doesnit delegitimize the verse or does it mean the writer went even harder than we expected?
i love fat and hairy gay men and their armpits, but i also seeing posts from lesbians and other queer women about how much they love fat and hairy women and their armpits. that's really fucking epic honestly.
i love bears and butches. they should unionize.
i know this is really dumb and cheesy but this is one of my favorite posts because seeing someone be like "sorry to derail but i'm a lesbian that thinks beefy fat female characters are hot :(" is like. no. don't apologize. that's really fucking cool.
You wouldn’t understand
is now a good time to mention that the woman in the screenshot literally runs rotatingsandwiches.com

Extremely nitpicky but I hate white wedding gowns in fantasy, especially when they make absolutely no sense in the setting. No, that culture in the far north that prioritizes function over form and mostly wears heavy furs would not have the means, ability, or desire to make a sleeveless ivory silk gown with a semi-sweetheart neckline. Please be sensible about this and use your creativity instead of just slapping a Kleinfeld wedding gown into a medieval fantasy setting.
Here's some tricks to making interesting fantasy wedding dresses:
- Focus on the things that indicate wealth and prosperity in your fantasy culture.
- What materials would your bride have access to and what would make the most sense for her to wear?
- What colors are not only beautiful and culturally significant, but also require expensive or rare dyes?
- What imagery could be used in patterns that are relevant to the culture (animals, plants, family crests, etc)?
- What skills could be displayed in the making of the gown (beadwork, embroidery, fabric painting, etc)?
- What interesting and unique materials can you add that are relevant to the culture (fur, leather, bones, plants, shells, etc)?
- Would your culture be more focused on the amount of material, things like trains and heavy lairs, or on the quality and detail?
- What will happen to the gown after the wedding (worn for other events, turned into household materials, turned into other clothing, etc) and are there details to it that make any other functions easier?
- What other things make the bride stand out (veils, headdresses, jewelry, makeup, body paint, hairstyles, outerwear, etc)?
- Is it more important in your culture for the gown to be made by other people (showing off wealth) or by the bride and/or her family (showing off the bride's talents)?
For a quick example:
If your wedding ceremony requires the bride to walk through a cold and snowy forest for cultural or religious rites, she would freeze her poor tits off in a sleeveless silk gown. Instead, consider a heavy wool gown in rich colors with elaborate embroidery and a thick cloak, maybe hooded, made of fine furs to show off her family's wealth. Jewelry, headpieces, and detailing on the gown could be made with things carved from stones, wood, antlers, and/or bones, especially if it's a culture that prizes hunting skills. Maybe a heavy veil that isn't just beautiful but also helps protect her face from biting winds during the journey.
Kind of a Reddit AITA post but sometimes it is a little funny to fuck with people in ways that deliberately conform to a stereotype of what they must think of you. the other day I was talking to my friend and I randomly said that I wanted a pet chimpanzee. I'd dress it in person clothes (dungarees and hats) and I'd teach it to love science fiction. And this girl nearby was like "you know how dangerous those things are, right? Also how unethical it is to keep an ape as your pet for your own amusement" and I was already seeing where the conversation was going so I was pretending ignorance like "yea but it wouldn't just be for my amusement. It would have practical points too." And she ignored that statement entirely to say "Well chimpanzees can rip faces off" and I was like. What's the most frustrating thing I can say now. Finally settled on "Mine wouldn't do that though." and you could tell she wanted to hurt me very very badly. Like a chimpanzee would if I had one as a pet

Hi what is wrong with you
What on G*d's green earth compelled you to do this
Genuine question do you want to die. Because if I catch you doing this shit I will be killing you instantly.
I'm telling my therapist about this
This line from lysandres wiki is so funny his motivations are truly incomprehensible
Never let them know your next move
Chinese sellers on Aliexpress are trying to sell giant land snail eggs as "Little Hatch Toys" which is adorable and hilarious except of course that this is the most illegal animal in the United States and even a zoo or scientific institution would get in trouble for having any
The fact that snails are top tier invasive species threats is such common knowledge in all the nature hobbies and sciences I constantly forget that I need to explain it. Why wouldn’t they be? They’re just non-stop eating machines that breed exponentially and the bigger they are the fewer predators they have. In Hawaii these have driven at least dozens, possibly hundreds of plants and animals extinct over the past few decades.
tfw you’re bothering a cat but not enough for it to MOVE so it just looks Disapprovingly at you
I would just like to point out. The ears are pointing forward. The cat’s sprawling out more as the bowl is shimmied as opposed to getting up to try and get out. That expression is hardly what i’d call disappointment. It’s actually enjoying being gently jostled! Can’t explain why, though. Could be the soothing jiggling motions, like how we sit in a vibrating massage chair sometimes. Or maybe it just sees this as an amusement part ride of sorts. Whatever it is, i can tell the cat is very relaxed and trusting of the person holding it in the bowl. I rate this VERY cute!
reblog to get jiggled
get jiggled, idiot!
why is it always the fancylad boy-king type whos the bottom. maybe his tough loyal knight who uses his body to protect and defend him and lives to serve him wants to get railed
maybe i just like it when masc dudes with scars and calluses and a devotion complex bigger than the moon get topped by troubled prettyboys with hands thatve never worked a day in their life. who said that
Thank you for your work soldier 🫡
