Bitches roll a DEX 16 MC then purposely don’t choose DEX ability checks so they can see the horniest held-at-knifepoint scene in the history of all held-at-knifepoint scenes.

(I’m bitches.)

Dinner party! Everyone disliked that. [ id: illustration of the dinner scene from critical role episode 110, camera view over the shoulder of Trent Ikithon. You can see his wrinkly old hands and shoulder in green mantle. Mighty Nein, Astrid and Eodwulf are sitting around the table with lit candles. M9 looks at him with various expressions of disgust, Astrid’s expression is covered by her fringe, and Eodwulf is drinking water. end id ]

Gonna go ahead and make the rest of my 2020 predictions now:

  • Christopher Eccleston snaps and assassinates a member of the royal family
  • Elvis turns up alive
  • JK Rowling attempts to regain followers by announcing on Twitter that Voldemort is trans
  • Firefly Season 2
  • LeFou and the gay extra from the live action Beauty and the Beast get their own Disney+ Series

popular tag responses to this post:

  • fuck you for putting these out in the world
  • go chris go

the express ticket to h*ll they’re getting

I think so many of us were too young to understand this like truly too young to really grasp what he was saying but now I’m an adult adult and I can see it and people took it as a joke but this is absolutely serious

And they were just up there…….laughing…… they’re never gonna reach heavens gates

call me ignorant but i genuinely don’t understand why sports have to be split up by gender.

@ everyone in the notes talking about physical performance: if that were the case, then sports would be divided by physical performance. that’s a thing you can measure. that’s a thing that varies by individual. a weak man and a strong man would be an unfair fight in boxing/wrestling/MMA, which is why they divide those sports up into weight groups based on physical performance. but they also further segregate them based on gender. chess is segregated by gender for no reason but sexism. if it’s actually about skill and physical ability, then measure those and separate people by those metrics. don’t do some bullshit gender segregation and pretend like men and women are inherently on different levels no matter their individual abilities.

Remember that time a teenage girl struck out Babe Ruth? That’s fucking why. Men are afraid of being beaten by women.

Remember that time male swimmers were pulled out of training because Kate Ledecky was leaving them ‘broken’ by swimming better than them? Remember how she didn’t even notice, because she was busy actually training?

Shooting is a sport that has no reliance on strength and so any allowance for gender variation is irrelevant. The last time there was a mixed competition (1992) a chinese woman named Zhang Shan won it.

It’s often presented as for the benefit of women. After all, they’ll be heartbroken when they‘re hurt or bested by men.

Projection is a hell of a drug. 

this is why they drug test Serena like crazy. the believe no woman should be that good. let alone a black woman. and black women have always been considered “manly” and less feminine.

also can we talk about how surfing is segregated as well? like how the dude who won this years international surfing cup or whatever was given $30,000 worth of prize money, while the woman who won the women’s comp was only awarded like $16,000 of prize money???? or whatever it was. but I know it was either half or less than half of what the man won. like why can’t they get the same prize money and when they’re competing internationally in the same competition? they surely have the same level of skill and talent.

the pay gap in sports between men and women is fucking insane.

The pay gaps, not to mention lack of sponsorships for women athletes who don’t look like models is insane. If you weigh over 250 pounds, no one will sponsor you. It’s why most female Olympic-class weightlifters live in poverty/out of their cars.

Reminder that in international (and usually national too) womens athletics anybody with 5m/mol of natural testosterone or higher is disqualified. (See legal case of Dutee Chand vs IAAF.)

Do you or somebody you know have PCOS? You are banned from international womens athletics because you are supposedly in posession of an unreasonable advantage in sports.

Folks disqualified for hyper-androgenism in womens athletics.

Francine Niyonsaba

Caster Semenya

Dutee Chand

Margaret Wambui

And more

Why are those disqualified overwhelmingly black and brown? Because testing is case by case when an athletes performance “raises suspicions”. They overwhelmingly test athletes of colour, for being too fast and not meeting white expectations of femininity.

Racism and intersexism(discrimination against intersex people) in sports is abject evil. Desegregate sports.
