“A sister is both your mirror and your opposite.” — Elizabeth Fishel

Jo and Amy in LITTLE WOMEN (2019) dir. Greta Gerwig

jo march really was like. i love the people around me and i cannot cope with them leaving and being mature and appealing enough to start new chapters in their lives while i'm still clinging into this idealised, carefree, comedy-like lifestyle i thought was gonna last forever. and i really thought platonic relationships could replace my repressed longing for a romantic one but now all my loved ones' first priorities became romance. meanwhile i cannot put myself out seeking a romantic relationship because that would automatically mean altering, belittleing, objectifying and compromising myself, my life would become a cliche with guaranteed unhappy ending because i feel like no one in this world could truly make me happy. and i do want to embrace my independent, single lifestyle but i guess i didnt calculate back then how lonely it's going to feel. it's like my only choice is between two types of unhappiness. jo march conveyed all this stuff and i'm not supposed to tear up just thinking about that goddamn movie???

The March sisters + The Elements 

“Beth was the best of us.”

When your the lead heroine in a classic literature novel and someone proposes to you:

Your son is a genius.

like 10 years ago I went to my dad’s office for the day and made this list of swears I knew (I was 7)

fast forward to now and apparently he kept it and now it’s hanging on his wall for him to always remember

Did anyone else think that June wanted to make a connection between Sherrezade’s costume and Jafar’s royal vizier costume with the shoulder pads. I may be overanylizing this, but I realized Jafar didn’t have shoulder pads before he met Sherrezade, who did have shoulder pads, and the shoulder pads aren’t part of the vizier outfit since Joe’s vizier didn’t have shoulder pads. I’m probably just reading too much into it, but I feel like it was Jafar’s small way of honoring his wife.

i think men should spend less time emphasising that victims of sexual assault/harassment are their sister/mother/wives/friends etc. and more time thinking about how the perpetrators of these crimes are their brothers/fathers/sons/friends etc.

stop emphasising your relationship to the victim to victimise yourself and instead emphasise your responsibility to hold the men around you accountable.

pls don’t let this flop

doofenshmirtz’s mental process i think

Mans was literally so respectful he never assumed every turquoise platypus he met wasn't automatically going to be the one and only turquoise platypus he's ever met 😂😂😂

I think it’s very sweet that Perry the Platypus recognized that the poor dude is effectively platypus-face-blind (and possibly colour-blind as well), cannot tell if a random platypus is or is not Perry, and is never going to assume in case it is a different platypus because that would be RUDE - and therefore carefully puts on his hat every time, so Doofenshmirtz knows who he’s talking to. 

That is some prime Politeness-Between-Nemeses right there. 

To be fair, the tri state area apparently has a LOT of platypuses.

I found this really important tiktok about what to do if a Jehovah's Witness or Morman missionary comes to your door:

I spent some time in a Jehovah's Witness church. They're exceptionally skilled at recruiting people into their church. (And I was an ATHEIST)

I left after a couple months, I stayed just long enough to see that they explicitly believe women are inferior to men, and of course, that homosexuality is a sin on par with murder.

The whole missionary door to door thing is NOT how Jehovah's Witnesses recruit. That is how they convince their members that the world is out to get them. One of the first things they teach is that Jesus requires you to try to convert non Christians to the faith. (They say non Christian but mean non JW.)

Then they say, "look how people treat us, just for the crime of wanting to save their soul"

They have long time church members tutor the incoming members to smooth the process over. They're trained to smooth away any doubts you may have about the church.

It is a textbook cult but because it's a Christian cult, nobody will do anything about it.

cute things to call your girlfriend

If Eminem's the rap god she's the rap silent goddess

heres the thing about sign language as i know it, my step mom is a concert interpreter.

they need the set list and lyrics ahead of time. not just so they know whats being said, but because some things need to be retranslated. sign language has different sentence structure and also needs some word changes if things are similar or dont have hand signs.Some words we use in speech normally dont actually exist in sign. So instead of signing either something repetitive or spelling out a word without a sign, she would have to find one that fit to keep the song going and also keep the meaning behind the lyrics accurate.

this woman probably had to not only shuffle words but also alter them slightly so they would make sense to the people shes signing to. along with keeping on beat, on topic, and on fucking fire.

I hate when people say “I’m Spanish” like no that’s a language not a nationality

i hate when people say “i’m danish” like no that’s a pastry not a nationality

i hate when people say “i’m belgian” like no that’s a waffle not a nationality

i hate when people say “i’m finnish” but u just startin

why is yikes plural. why so many yike

please reblog this i spent way too long on what was supposed to be a quick edit

contemporary roman writers slutshamed julius caesar that’s your ides of march fact for today

what an absolute unit ol’ iulius was

how could you write this and not say WHY he was getting slutshamed

julius ‘husband to all wives and wife to all husbands’ caesar was a thirsty, thirsty bottom

suetonius: i heard that caesar was a big slut and also he liked buttsex and oral

cicero, to the gathered senate: CAESAR TAKES IT UP THE ASS

for historical context, cicero publicly called out jc for bottoming for king nicomedes of bithynia. they first met when caesar was 20, the king was at least twice his age. i am not saying sugar daddy but sugar daddy. the sex was so good that when nicomedes died he left his entire kingdom to rome, i am not making this up this is  t r u e

listen it’s one thing to slut shame Caesar, but Cicero went around speculating in public about Caesar and the king doing it on a “golden couch arrayed in purple” where “the virginity of the one sprung from Venus was lost in Bithynia” so I don’t think good old Iulius is the only one who’s got to ask himself some serious questions here.

Julius Caesar was stabbed for being a bottom, please share for bottom’s rights

fun fact- there was a popular song/chant his soldiers would sing so where ever they marched they could announce it to the whole world

Julius Caesar has been dead for 2062 slutty years

He died like he lived: Multiple penetrations.

There was, in fact, a chant. It went a little something like CAESAR CONQUERED GAUL BUT NICOMEDES CONQUERED CAESAR!
