mom made more than my father for my whole life.she worked an 8-4 in the weekdays while he took at least three 24 hour shifts in a week.mom is the sole reason I was a swimmer. she was the one who advocated for my language training so I could speak like a native at 13 years old. I love women who are like op''s and mine's. and if we are lucky one day we will be like this to our daughters too
Growing up with a gender non conforming mother literally saved me. She never wore makeup, she rarely shaved, she had short hair, she always put comfort first when choosing clothes, she never cared for skincare or anti-aging products in fact she’s proud of her wrinkles, she was a ‘these are signs of a fulfilling life’ mother not a retinol at 15 mother, she was a ‘eat whatever you want’ mother not a ‘are you gonna eat all that?’ mother, she was openly against plastic surgery, she stood up for her beliefs, she never let men talk down to her or belittle her, she was always down for a debate etc.
It didn't dawn on me until I got older that this wasn't 'normal'. That not everyone’s mother was like that. I rarely felt pressure to conform to patriarchal gender stereotypes because I didn’t grow up with one as a role model. In fact the only times I started to feel as though I should conform to ‘femininity’ was when I started integrating more into wider society and less in the comfort of my home. (Social media, friendships etc)
When I was a kid, I took it for granted, but now I see how blessed I was to be raised by a mother like that, and I see how much my friends and women online are struggling to accept themselves in totality, in their natural and unapologetic form. Since I was born, I thought it was totally normal for women to be like that … because it should be.

OK theory time:remember how in the 16th century,on the rehearsal of Shakespeare's play we learn they help each other with miracles, the last one crowley wants from aziraphale being something to do in Scotland (if I remember correctly) and the records that keep turning into "Everyday" is from a pub from Edinburgh? yes, I think it's their "shared" magic that have gotto do with this "Clue"
P.S:I just watched the first two episodes of season two so no spoilers please
I CAN'T STOP LAUGHING AT THE NEW SNEAK PEEK 😭she asked how's your naked man with her whole chest and this is aziraphale hyperventilating and crowley going "BITCH WHO I WASN'T THERE LAST WEEK "
I entered new year's while crying bcz of college applications last year, this year I'm improved I'm crying involuntarily bcz my brain is leaking from my nose! excited for what the next year brings

bro choose every possible cheat code 🐈😺
i can't be the only one who's just straight-up ... bored with women hating themselves. my mom keeps lamenting to me how upset she is about her gray hair. my friend stares at her laugh lines every day in agony. my sister loses sleep over the horrible unbearable thought of looking fat. and every time these women i love open up to me, i can't help but think ... then stop staring at yourself? stop drowning yourself, narcissus, and just fucking live your life instead of sitting in front of a mirror obeying cosmetic corporations' lies. just stop it. this is getting ridiculous. you're too smart to be falling for this bullshit. "oh no but these men who hate women told me that if i'm ugly i'm worthless!" girl if you actually believe that then good luck. but i am getting worse at being supportive of people whose nonsense worldviews keep them trapped in pain. stop looking at yourself start fucking living i am pleading you deserve to be happy and it is stupid that you disagree
thinking about Aeron Bracken and Davos Blackwood's story being a tragedy in every route you take with a backstory. They laid together just to take out frustration at first and never made anything concrete bcz they were afraid? Perfectly devastating angst. They were lovers and fully knew the other is like a god for them but also know their place in this damned kingdom? crying on the bathroom floor. Two boys always finding each others eyes across a festive at the Harrenhall yet never having the courage to take one small step that would be considered treason by their families? gut wrenching potential wasting.
and it's even worse when they pride themselves of being "slave free". it is teached in school that ottomans didn't took slaves then just describe "cariye" to you which is a woman you stole from her motherland when you lay destruction there.. bruh
It's very interesting to listen to history lectures that first say that there was no slavery at a certain period of time, and then follow it up with something like: "women didn't have the right to marry at their free will, property was passed down from father to son..." and so on.
you are absolutely sure that there was no slavery, right?
I'm full of rage because I paint my ceiling with memories of a life unlived, or whatever the fuck they said
Aemond proposing to Lucerys in fanfics knowing full well that he’s actually number 14th or whatever in line for the throne and stands to inherit zero lands or titles-
la tristesse durera toujours. being a fujoshi is payback for all of the sexualization our sisterhood faces daily
