((I got tired of waiting on people to respond back to my replies to them, so I’m just going to post this up. It’s a VERY LATE birthday fic for happyds who is incredible. I also based the ending bit on this picture because it’s one of my favorites. Happy Waaay Belated Birthday!))
Pairing: Trickster!Jake/Dirk
Warning: Trickster!Jake (that’s all the warning you need, really), and I’ll put a blanket dubcon warning on it, too (just in case)
You walk up to your front door carrying a bag of various metal scraps that you’re sure you can put to good use.
The bag—tripled up, so that the metal won’t tear the plastic and fall all over the ground— swings back and forth in your hand while you unlock the door. Before entering your home, you vaguely consider bragging to Jake about how much he missed out on, but you know he won’t care one way or the other, so you just open the door instead.
Honestly, you really wish you hadn’t.
Why is there very little utility to women’s clothing? Why don’t we get pockets which actually open? Why do we have to put up with the ‘false pockets’ that are frequently sewn onto women’s jackets and pants to give visual interest without ruining the ‘line’ of the garment? Why, when pockets are actually present, are they so rarely large, stable, or loose enough to accommodate a phone or a wallet? And why, given this is the case, do women go on to cop so much flack for carrying handbags around with them?
Oh wait. Is this one of those double standards which we feminists are always going on about; one of those innocuous little things which everybody just accepts because it is the norm?
Women carry handbags. It is known.
But why? I have watched my male friends get ready to go out. They slip their wallet into one pocket, their keys into another, their phone into a third pocket, and some of them even still have spare pockets large enough to carry a novel for the journey. Those of my friends who wear women’s clothes, though, face an entirely different situation. If they are wearing the right jeans or jacket, they may have up to two usable pockets (not at all guaranteed). However, in most cases they won’t have any pockets at all. Utility and style rarely meet in women’s fashion, so they grab a bag.
Contrary to all the jokes, most women don’t ‘have’ to leave the house with everything they pack in their day-to-day handbag. Most of the items in a woman’s everyday handbag are in there because, if she’s going to have to carry it anyway, she might as well make it worth her while. Excuse us for making use of the one useful item we find in our wardrobes.

Oh lord, don’t get me started on this. This is a little thing that highlights a big equality problem between men and women. We need the same supplies as men to do the same job. When I stocked shelves it was impossible to find pants that would hold my wallet, my box knife, my badge, my keys, my gloves (I worked dairy/frozen) and my phone. I actually ended up not carrying my wallet or keys at all. Fuck if I’m carrying a purse *ever* but that certainly wouldn’t have helped on the job.
My husband? He holds all of that plus his insulin, packets of honey in case his blood sugar drops (or a vial of glucose tablets), glucometer, headphones, markers, and pencils. With plenty of room to spare. I’ve even seen him slip paperback books into empty pockets.

I remember watching I think it was Project Runway and the contestants had to design a new uniform for female postal workers. The one designer put utilitarian pockets on her design, and the judges yelled at her for it. They said something about it not being flattering, because you know, the key part of any uniform is not that it works for the job, but that it shows off your body in the best light possible.

He makes pole dancing look so masculine. He’s got some awesome moves
I would stick so many twenties in his G-string.
Why doesn’t he have a spot in Zoomanity?

I present to you my first Homestuck voice project (aside from being recruited by two promptly abandoned ask blogs).
Gasped at the ”The exact same dude”’ what a very nice detail among others.
Not to mention the background noises or the corruption of hal.
i’m hella sick of that whitehouse.gov petition to stop straight men from driving
for fuck’s fucking sake using that site in service of dumb jokes is exactly why they raised the signature limit so high that not one but two actually important trans rights issues didn’t hit their signature requirement
but no you stick it to those straight men by making it harder for small minorities to have their voice heard you’re doing feminism proud

wtf is an acronym
this post pisses me off
Actually, interestingly, ‘wtf’ is not an acronym; it is an initialism. In theory, tumblr user assiest could very well have used ‘wtf’ and had no concept of an acronym.
ok there was way too much angst in this au so lets have this little thing here.
Okay, wait, guys
Meenah throwing the trident was funny

when she forks John he always wakes up
she was trying to save his life
she was his mother in another life you know
an evil empress invader alien of a mother
but a mother none the less
