as a society we need to normalize platonic soulmates. please. like literally live with your best friend. raise a kid/pet with your best friend. why should people have to "be alone" and not experience some parts of life just because they never fall in love. stop making the world revolve around fucking romance.

The evil stepmother is a fixture in European fairy tales because the stepmother was very much a fixture in early European society–mortality in childbirth was very high, and it wasn’t unusual for a father to suddenly find himself alone with multiple mouths to feed. So he remarried and brought another woman into the house, and eventually they had yet more children, thus changing the power dynamics of inheritance in the household in a way that had very little to do with inherent, archetypal evil and everything to do with social expectation and pressure. What was a woman to do when she remarried into a family and had to act as mother to her husband’s children as well as her own, in a time when economic prosperity was a magical dream for most? Would she think of killing her husband’s children so that her own children might therefore inherit and thrive? [...] Perhaps. Perhaps not. But the fear that stepmothers (or stepfathers) might do this kind of thing was very real, and it was that fear–fed by the socioeconomic pressures felt by the growing urban class–that fed the stories.

We see this also with the stories passed around in France–fairies who swoop in to save the day when women themselves can’t do so; romantic tales of young girls who marry beasts as a balm to those young ladies facing arranged marriages to older, distant dukes. We see this with the removal of fairies and insertion of religion into the German tales. Fairy tales, in short, are not created in a vacuum. As with all stories, they change and bend both with and in response to culture.

"tumblr's the only social media without algorithms!" "you can still be anonymous on tumblr!" "tumblr's so nice because you don't have to show your face!" WRONG tumblr is special because you can have 3000 followers and still get an average of seven likes a post. i'm doing stand up comedy at a packed venue and one person is laughing

When skam originally aired the characters were older than me now I go on Instagram where I see that Eva from sram was born in 2008?? I feel like an octogenarian

redsmemories

Listen—when I first watched this show, I instantly fell I love with all the characters and I thought “oh the actors must be so much older then me”

NO they’re my age. I was born in 1998. So Josefine and Lisa killed it because they were only 17-18. And that kills me, because I would die of shyness.

But also, means I still have a chance with any of them.

But they’re acting alone?? I can’t wait to show my children, and their children this show and the rest of them.

thank fuck for this change to making it more explicitly cinderpelt's choice to be a medcat while also pointing out it wouldn't be impossible for her to be a warrior. it always was her choice, mind you, but a proper conversation between the two is appreciated.
