[she was] wildly attractive, wildly sexy. The most unlikely people fell for her – upright, married, hetero, male, female… She was dark-haired, dark-eyed and had a way of stalking around London that put many people in awe.
-Paul Duval, on the artist Fiore de Henriquez
This week on out podcast we're talking about the intersex Italian-British sculptor. Fiore used her art to explore her complex understanding of her gender. Check out our podcast if you'd like to learn more about her!
Transferring my period cramps to Scotty, not because he did anything wrong or I don’t like him, I just know he’d willingly volunteer to help me out even if they hurt him and walk around like he’s fine because he’s just like that and Kirk needs to appreciate that man more, he got struck by lightning for a woman, he got blasted by a robot for a woman, he’d take these cramps.
What they don’t tell you about speaking multiple languages is that your brain does not in fact have a box labeled Spanish and another one labeled German. Instead it has a box labeled “Not English” and sometimes when you’re talking or writing in one of the languages you speak it will just start pulling random words from that box.
I have a hilarious year of the trees take: Maedhros and Fingon are together (romantically) and Celegorm and Aredhel are completely platonic, but everyone thinks it's the other way around (namely Feanor and Fingolfin)
Like Celegorm is getting CONSTANTLY lectured by his dad and all of society for his relationship with Aredhel, whereas Maedhros is off fucking Fingon by a waterfall somewhere and everyone's like "Oh theyre such good friends :)"
Celegorm would be PISSED. He just wants to go camping with his homegirl (and for her to join the hunters of Orome) but all the parents are trying to tear them apart cause they think they're fucking. Whereas Maedhros and Fingon are giggling together at court, writing each other the sappiest love poems, and dance together at every social gathering and no one suspects a THING.
Bonus points if all of the cousins are in on it, and none of the Feanor/Fingolfin/Finarfin generation ever figures it out.
i don't think i've ever posted this sketch of fingon here
I think if speaks so well of Elrond's parenting that he could have three troubled kids but he has none?
Twins with a revenge storyline? Will treat everybody remarkably well as long as they aren't orcs
Daughter with a forbidden romance storyline? Happy to rely on her family to help her through this difficult experience
Yes. Have YOU considered that sometimes working on hard things is both necessary and worthwhile?
Oooooo “Jim has Izzy’s glove”, “Jim has Izzy’s cravat”, “Jim has Izzy’s ring”-
At this point they should just take his whole fit.
