Not-gonna-say-shit Ubbe Part II

Polaris: I failed my safety course today

Eclipse: Why? What happened?

Polaris: Well one of the questions was "In the case of a fire what steps would you take?"

Eclipse: And?

Polaris: Well apparently, "FUCKING LARGE ONES" isn't an acceptable answer.

Someone: Wow you're so easy to talk to! I feel like our personalities fit so well together!

Me: thanks i made this one special just for you

THIS IS A POST TO SPREAD SOME LOVE FOR THEON GREYJOY.

Reblog this and say something nice to our little baby

A game of Truth or Dare with TWD characters...

Carl: Dad gets dare!

Rick: Oh, I really don't want to play...

Daryl: I got one! Whoever chooses the next song gets to do to Rick whatever the main themes of the lyrics are.

Rick: *Looking around nervously* Come on, I'm going to sit this one out I think...

Negan: *Kicks in front door, runs through living room towards CD player, elbows Carl in the face, stands on Aaron's fingers, knocks over dining table, pushes Daryl through window, jumps on couch, somersaults over Judith, grabs CD of choice, slams it in player*

CD Player: *blasts* SAVE A HORSE, RIDE A COWBOY!

Negan: *smiles and winks at Rick*

I loved that girl like she was my own.

I ran to the Devil, he was waiting.

it’s hilarious to me when people call historical fashions that men hated oppressive

like in BuzzFeed’s Women Wear Hoop Skirts For A Day While Being Exaggeratedly Bad At Doing Everything In Them video, one woman comments that she’s being “oppressed by the patriarchy.” if you’ve read anything Victorian man ever said about hoop skirts, you know that’s pretty much the exact opposite of the truth

thing is, hoop skirts evolved as liberating garment for women. before them, to achieve roughly conical skirt fullness, they had to wear many layers of petticoats (some stiffened with horsehair braid or other kinds of cord). the cage crinoline made their outfits instantly lighter and easier to move in

it also enabled skirts to get waaaaay bigger. and, as you see in the late 1860s, 1870s, and mid-late 1880s, to take on even less natural shapes. we jokingly call bustles fake butts, but trust me- nobody saw them that way. it was just skirts doing weird, exciting Skirt Things that women had tons of fun with

men, obviously, loathed the whole affair

(1864)

(1850s. gods, if only crinolines were huge enough to keep men from getting too close)

(no date given, but also, this is 100% impossible)

(also undated, but the ruffles make me think 1850s)

it was also something that women of all social classes- maids and society ladies, enslaved women and free women of color -all wore at one point or another. interesting bit of unexpected equalization there

and when bustles came in, guess what? men hated those, too

(1880s)

(probably also 1880s? the ladies are being compared to beetles and snails. in case that was unclear)

(1870s, I think? the bustle itself looks early 1870s but the tight fit of the actual gown looks later)

hoops and bustles weren’t tools of the patriarchy. they were items 1 and 2 on the 19th century’s “Fashion Trends Women Love That Men Hate” lists, with bonus built-in personal space enforcement

Aslaug knew she had to die

her sons were getting older and the only way they could take the throne was by defeating their father. Aslaug may not have loved Ragnar but she didn’t turn their children against him. (he did that on his own) Aslaug never wanted that so in order for her sons to be able to TAKE the throne it needed to be in someone elses hands.

to insure this she lets herself be killed thus sacrificing herself for her sons future.

she won. Lagertha lost the moment she shot Aslaug. and maybe Lagertha knew it.

Ragnar’s death only delays Lagertha’s but she will get whats coming to her. the seer has said so. a son of Ragnar will kill her. Aslaug wasn’t a shieldmaiden but that doesn’t mean she didn’t fight in battles. she may even have lost battles but she won the war. (against Lagertha)

“Those poor boys”

“She deserves to be punished too.”

“I’m not saying I support rape, but-”

“Sorry to say - she deserved it.”

“She put herself in harm’s way”

“But if she was fingered, then that’s not rape.”

“She ruined their lives.”
