my brother and his ”“friend“” are having an argument over who would top between them if they were gay together
I’m sitting against his door listening to them and my brother says “i think my dick is bigger so i’d top” and his friend says “well i think mines bigger” and now there is silence i think theyre checking
It’s all quiet and my brother goes “bro, you’re fucking hung”
reasons why my grandpa is the best:
- he made my wife and i (i’m a woman) a giant banner for our one year anniversary
- when i was pregnant, the baby was kicking and when he touched my belly, the baby stopped and he called him a little shit
- he once called and left a voicemail asking how to spell styrofoam
- he flipped a table bc he saw someone hit a dog
- he beat skyrim in 4 days
- he served in the korean war and when he came home, he learned korean so if he ever ran into a korean vet, he could “give them the same respect he’d give an american vet”
- my son has two moms and there was a “special guy in your life” day at his school for father’s day so my grandpa went and showed up in dress pants and a pressed shirt bc he “didn’t want to embarrass him”. also, there was a little boy who didn’t have anyone there and grandpa asked if he could be his “special guy” and the little boy beamed
- he knows all of the secrets to the zelda games
- he’s had 4 open heart surgeries and can still kick your ass
i’m happy tom hardy is getting attention but i could do without the whole puppy-loving-flawless-angel persona that’s being created around him
because the day it gets out he said or did Something Bad i’ll have to watch my dash be flooded with reasons why i can’t love my favorite actor anymore just because y’all are incapable of appreciating someone without elevating them to god status and then needing to take it all back and demonize them instead when they turn out to be another one of those nasty flawed humans like the rest of us
Reblog this if you would like having an LGBT History class in any level of education. I know that there are people that care about this.
I’d like to learn about the history of people like me
that glazed-over expression you get when a movie wants you to feel bad for the shitty male characters
ACCURATE.
my friends and i went to see max mad fury road and as we entered the city centre we crossed paths with this asshole sexist guy who had been a classmate of a couple of us and he asked us what we were up to and when he told him he went ‘oh. its not very good’ and went on to say that it wasnt faithful to the three original films so we were like haha okay bye whatever and absolutely loved the films and we watched the original trilogy yesterday so idk what he was on
oh wait i do
misogyny
so many cute people
how even
what is it like to be cute and alive and living the life of a cute person
you know i bet it had nothing to do with the fact that he’s the champion. farmboy apostate garrett hawke got arms so thick u know cullen just looked at him like “shit u know what we will let this slide” because hawke can benchpress five of those motherfuckers in fullbody armor like they ain’t hot shit
lilith was created before eve from the same soil as adam to be his wife
she refused to lay beneath him, wishing to be his equal, only willing to have sex with him if she was on his side or on top
adam tried to force her to have sex with him the way he wanted, so she left him and became a demon…
…go off
i mean we could talk about how lilith was a badass who’d rather be a demon than be subservient to a man or we could talk about the allegory here where a woman who demands agency is LITERALLY demonized… or the reality that this story means that the first man in the bible (or the first man ever, if you subscribe to that) was a rapist! great start, boys
this is so important.
I wonder how different shit would be if Adam attempting to rape Lilith was the “original sin” instead of Eve eating the apple.
They’d probably just say Lilith was asking for it and it was her fault
so this took me forever to figure out how to articulate but my biggest problem with Nat’s characterization (or lack thereof) was the way she was flirting with Bruce.
Like Steve said, he’s seen Natasha flirt up close and personal. She uses her sexuality as a weapon or a distraction, whatever fits the mission. That’s what she was trained to do by the Red Room. She was trained to be all flirty and coy to get what she wants. That was her training.
Which is exactly why it felt so wrong in the movie. Natasha wouldn’t flirt with Bruce if she liked him because any kind of flirting would feel like subjugation and deception after using it as a weapon in her arsenal for so many years. That’s how she was trained to kill. The way she was flirting with Bruce felt like she was buttering up a target or a mark. It was awkward and forced and just so wrong because if she really cared about him, she wouldn’t beat around the bush, she would say so straight out because that is the exact opposite of how she was trained to interact with people.
Natasha Romanoff was trained to use sex and her looks as weapons and you really expect us to believe that she’d be comfortable using those same techniques to interact with someone she genuinely cares about? No fucking way.
See I have this theory about BruceTasha. And I may get accused of being a crazed Clintasha girl, but here goes.
Natasha was behaving like Bruce was a mark because he was.
Let’s look at the evidence. For some bizarre reason, Natasha has been selected as the one to calm the Hulk. As I’ve said in a previous post, this makes no sense - Tony would have been a more natural choice. But what if she, or even Fury, decided she had to be the one because she is so good at manipulating people? She can manipulate the Hulk into calming down, by presenting this calming façade and getting him to let Bruce come back into control. And she manipulates Bruce too, so that he trusts her, will listen to her, and stay with the Avengers for when they need him. She flirts with him to make him feel wanted, so that when she needs to, she can bring out the Hulk or put him back again. And we see this in action at the end of the film, when Bruce comes to get her out of the cell Ultron has her in (the reasons why she didn’t just escape are enough to fill another entire post), when she tells him ‘I adore you’, the most awkward line in a ‘relationship’ built on awkward lines, and then promptly pushes him into the chasm to get the Hulk. Because, as she says, “I need the other guy.”
She knew that moment would come, sooner or later, and she needed Bruce to trust her enough to get close to her, and Hulk not to kill her when she did. And how does Natasha get people to do what she wants? She flirts with them. She seduces them.
And that scene at the very end, when she’s staring at the black wall after he’s left. I refuse to believe she’s pining after him like a lovesick puppy. I think she’s feeling guilty because she so thoroughly manipulated someone on her own team, using the tactics she was first taught in the Red Room. And she hates that she used the training she so deplores on a team mate, even if she had to, even if it did save the world. And she hates that she’s lost a potential platonic friend because of it. Because I think platonic friends - who don’t see her as this sexy body, but as a person they love for who she is inside - would be incredibly important to Natasha. She can have any man she wants with the batting of her eyelids, but what she wants is friendship, like any normal person has. And you can see this in effect in The Winter Soldier, in the scene on board the ship with the hostages when her unannounced side mission puts her and Steve in danger, and his is visibly angry with her. And you can see her kicking herself, beating herself up, because here’s this man who trusts her, works with her, and doesn’t see her body as something to covet, and she’s disappointed him. She’s worried she might have lost that valuable friendship.
So yes, I’m going to chose to believe that the reason why the scenes between Bruce and Natasha feel forced is because they are. She is forcing herself to do this to someone she’d rather have as a platonic friend because she needs to be able to control both halves of Bruce’s nature, so that when the time comes to it, she can both take the Hulk out and put him back in his box. She needs to be able to summon the Hulk when he’s needed, and lull him back into submission before he can hurt anyone.
And she does that the only way she knows how; manipulation through flirting and seduction.So yes, the reason she’s behaving with Bruce as she would a mark is because that is exactly what she was doing.
#i like this#not just because it’s a way to explain that awful relationship#but because i could see where it came from too#last movie Nat was scared of the hulk because he wasn’t the sort of person she could manipulate and control#that is she couldn’t deal with him the way she deals with everyone else#but this indicates she can#it just. ..takes more effort#And if this was something she started doing while shield was still up and Nick still thought of her as someone who is comfortable with everything?#that makes more sense#And it was working so she kept with it even without orders#and her guilt over it would be worse because she wouldn’t have just been treating Bruce like a mark#she’d have been lying in some way to everyone on the team because she wouldn’t want them to know she was manipulating Bruce#(And it wouldn’t work if anyone on the team knew)#so yeah guilt over lying#it might also explain why Clint#her best friend#‘didn’t see it’#because maybe she was keeping it from him because she didn’t want him to know#or maybe because he knows that that behaviour from Nat isn’t… well maybe he knows what her emotional manipulation vs her real feelings is like better than anyone else#And anyone else?#well Nat is used to fooling people isn’t she?#And maybe she started this before Steve and her were bros#and like she knows Steve wouldn’t approve of this kind of manipulation of friends#but it’s working so well#And on the scale of lies she’s told before this one is so miniscule#and it’s doing so much good#And so she keeps with it#even if she’s not happy about it all the time#headcanon accepted#meta (via greekamazon)

Summary: A story in which Lapis Lazuli is ‘redeemed’ but still really angry and hurt and confused (she ain’t no Crystal Gem!) Pearl’s not really the best person to calm her down, but maybe the two of them can work something out (or fight something out, Gem-style!) If you prefer your Lapis 100% kind and well-intentioned, this may not be your thing. If you prefer your Lapis still really pissed about all the shit cards life has dealt her, well, maybe this won’t be a waste of your time.
Credit to lapislazuhli for the idea that Lapis remembers Pearl from all the times Pearl has asked her to bring up images of Homeworld and/or Homeworld-controlled planets. And deep thanks to oathkeeper-of-tarth for the beta.

trapped by extenuating circumstances
Time drenches everything in a haze. Everything was grander.
Gems were so much more powerful.
Gems were always right.
Homeworld was the universe, or at least, had everything worth having in the universe.
Lapis wishes someone could understand.
Lapis also wishes she could just turn off her mind, just sink into the waters without a war within her or a cage around her.
She feels no relief that she has been freed, that she’s been offered companionship, that on some evenings Steven sits with her on a deckchair by the beach.
Sometimes she finds herself back in the past, a mirror, bound to the wishes of whoever is holding her.
Sometimes she’s still there, at the bottom of the ocean, chained with her own power, locked up in her own jail cell.
She hates this form, sometimes. Wishes that she could claw out the illusion of skin. Wishes she could tear herself apart. She’s never believed in this miserable hunk of rock. Now she is bound to it by the loss of Homeworld. Even when she screams, it is not enough. Even when her throat hurts, it isn’t enough.
There are days when she hides herself from the Crystal Gems and Steven. They don’t run after her, probably on Steven’s wishes. They give her space.
She hides herself because it’s too easy to lash out at anything. She materializes water whips from the ocean and cuts rocks into halves, fourths, eighths – on and on until they’re nothing but bits scattered on the sand. The sound of rock cracking surrounds her, and still it’s not enough. The earth completes its rotation, but Lapis can go on for much longer when she’s in the mood, days and days of wandering around, traveling beyond Beach City and to surrounding islands, destroying, destroying, destroying, wishing that she could lose herself.
