Yikes. Yeah, I haven’t been to Warped Tour in about 6 years (bc I don’t recognize the bands), but it is an environment that can turn bad very quickly. Not much security, lots of young girls, and closed quarters definitely create an iffy situation. It should be said that Warped Tour as an entity never made these…

Yeah, that’s Gerard Way

Me tooooo <3

A LOT of the emo and pop punk concerts I went to as a teenager made statements like that. It was a huge deal, especially at Warped Tour when people tended to be wearing fewer clothes overall. I hear a lot of jokes about how much some of these bands suck, but it was nice as a teenage girl for a dude to recognize that…

I don’t honestly understand ANYONE who trusts the police. My dad is an older, middle class, kinda conservative white guy and he always raised me to never call the cops and to avoid them as much as possible. The idea that anyone believes that police in general can be trusted is beyond strange to me

Yeah, that’s a narrative I rarely ever hear about. I struggled with really disordered eating for all of my teenage years, but I only went from “fat” to “a bit chubby”. Even now, I question whether I’m allowed to acknowledge that I even have issues with food because I’ve never been thin

There were female emperors in Japan as late as the Edo period, though infrequently. With the way the dynasty used to be structured, a succession crisis was more likely to be triggered by having too many heirs with claims to the throne, rather than too few. The law that prohibits a woman from taking the throne is very…

The Japanese monarchy is the longest lasting royal line in the world partly because they have been symbolic figureheads rather than powerful monarchs and also because, until recently, there were several clans they could intermarry with. This, combined with a system of concubinage and emperors often “retiring” before…

I envy you that experience. It sounds very much in the spirit of Romanticism.

I mean, Alexander the Great was, by some accounts, an Achilles/Patroclus shipper. The TV element is the only thing that’s new about this concept.

I wouldn’t be surprised if some of their numbers problems are related to the fact that comic book stores just don’t stock a lot of the newer Marvel series. Not a single comic book store near me stocks more than Ms. Marvel on my pull list, so I buy digital copies instead

Ms. Marvel, Squirrel Girl, Patsy Walker AKA Hellcat, and Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur are all great reads and all the better when they’re able to do their own thing outside of the Civil War clusterfuck. Of course, Marvel isn’t counting what I buy monthly, since I only buy digital or paperback collections, so...

As a child growing up in the 90s and early 2000s, I was always thirsty at school. If you get one small milk at lunch and get to use the fountain for 5 seconds once a day, that just isn’t enough. Theoretically, you could use a bathroom pass to get a drink of water, but then you’d be down a bathroom trip (of which you’d…

I’m really conflicted, because I absolutely want to see him prance around in that outfit while talking about cakes in that surrealist way, but I’m not sure I want to see that on Bake Off

My state is really solidly blue, but we’ve got no clout or money to do anything about it. We’re one of the poorest states in the nation, but we still manage to lean liberal. Being able to condemn all of the flyover states from a position of power must be nice.

I do wish there was some kind of “in between” status for pets. Its true that they aren’t people, but its a bit weird to consider them property. They’re still members of the family, even if they’re not humans.

The unexplored potential of Midge’s life and her cantilever bra in that movie haunts me.

I can’t have most nightshades either and it’s hell. I’m a New Mexican who can’t eat enchiladas :c

I live in my robe. Home time is robe time.

Ah, I wish! I’ve hulked through so many shirts and jackets with my broad shoulders+barrel chest. I’m 47(mostly ribcage, not boobs)-38-50 and about 5'5, so there’s really just no winning for anyone, I think.
