anyway. which isn’t to say you’re wrong or anything, just to explain the context from which i came to the movie as a kid (and… kind of now, i guess, also, too), and why i found it a relief. i can definitely see how from a different perspective it is mostly disappointing. also i mean, i think i spent like a month talking about how much i hated the disney version of...

i can't handle beauty and the beast
isabelthespy:
“SLOPPY JOB” HA. and heh, yeah, i guess i should specifically say mulan is very badass by animated disney princess standards. i am sure proper non-disney retellings are even more legitimately badass. and when i said devoid of romance i mean we never saw her getting together with him for real (and we never saw her pining over him either), which i just really appreciate because of...
Mulan, by Anonymous →
I apologize for getting ranty and probably should give some context for being annoyed at Disney’s version. Here’s the original poem from which the Mulan legend stems from.

ever since a friend of mine in high school pointed out to me that the moral of that movie is “if you live your abusive boyfriend enough, he will change for you.”
i was like, “no it’s not!! but! but… i… belle is… it’s different because… he was… fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.” and i haven’t been able to deal with it since.
it’s funny too, because people talk a lot about the fucked up...
Wonderdark: The Awakening of Zuza ARV Edition

Color-in image: BrothahScritch for Wonderdark
Wonderdark is… well you’ll have to read the first book to get a sense of it’s true definition. It’s extended from the heart after it’s time spent in the chambers of a #greenwand wielder with a clockwork dream engine outpouring Rainbow Ethera. It’s an Afro-Asiatic Steampunk/FaeryPunk/Afropunk meets plant-eating (and in some cases...

This is why I'm tired... (trigger alert)

Voices of the women I spoke to yesterday (and only yesterday)
I am 20. I have had 5 miscarriages. 2 were caused by beatings. I finally gave birth to a healthy baby. This little one is the best thing that ever happened to me. She was conceived when I was raped. It wasn’t the first time I had been raped. As a girl I was kidnapped by a stranger and held for 3 days. I escaped. That...

OWwwwwww
To get rid of that smell, just get some aluminum foil make it into a bowl like thing and put some sugar and cinnamon and put them on the stove top.. makes the place smell like cookies and gets rid of fish smell
I don’t think that will help my burnt finger though. Flesh, not fish.

My valiant attempts to peer-pressure Don into coming to the archives with me FAILED. Damn those PSAs we got as kids for giving him the ability to just say NO to archival research.
Your wonderful adventures make me want to drag my butt out into the cold to join you ;_;

Why fashion is worth blogging about.
themerchgirlnet:
OK, the whole article is made of WIN (and this comes from someone who, like the OP, was vehemently anti-fashion up till very recently - and even then I didn’t bother putting in so much effort). It’s quite long, so click on the Read More link and…do what it says.

We’ve posted Afrosteam intel in other spots, but as Huemind Fantastic was constructed to provide a centralized location it bears repeating and updating with new developments *_^
What many of us consider to be ‘not there’, usually is, but hasn’t reached your radar yet.
For instance how many know there’s a steampunk group at BSFS? Excerpts, and images...

I don’t understand how women have let themselves be duped into thinking that they need to be fixed up in the first place. If destiny is shallow enough to stand me up for a date because I don’t like wearing makeup, it’s not something I want to be conspiring with.

1. WHAT THE FUCK IS THE MATTER WITH YOU.
2. SERIOUSLY.
3. WHAT THE FUCK.
Here is the source of my excitement: the passing - and in my opinion, fair - comparisons of trans people being kept out of bathrooms to segregation was...
