the AI voice manipulation thing where you can take recordings of a public figure’s voice and make them say anything make me SO uncomfortable. Even the silly goofy ones give me ethical nausea. It just seems really dangerous to normalize that sort of casual distortion of reality and idc if that makes me sound like an anti-technology doomer

No joke you guys NEED to get more comfortable blocking people. No more insulting people in public over different blorbo opinions no more making 2k long posts on how whatever ship you don't like shouldn't exist we've grown past that shit. Consistent posts about shit that make you uncomfortable? Block. Rancid blorbo opinions? Block. Is mildly annoying in your replies? Block. Pisses you off for reasons so petty you could never admit it publicly? Block. YOUR mental health will improve from not being upset 24/7, THEIR mental health will not be at risk of you lashing out because you happened to catch their posts on a bad day, and EVERYONE ELSE will benefit from not seeing the most embarrassing arguments known to man on their dash. "Oooh but they didn't deserve it-" dude you're presumably running a personal blog as a hobby not a public service. Who fucking cares.

:) from personal experience... please take care of your official online persona

anyway any young person entering a "formal field" such as starting a career or university, please check your email icon, especially if your email ID is quite old. unis and offices use email primarily to communicate with you and are very judgemental so please confirm if it isn't like, ur fursona or a semi naked character u chose in middle school and then forgot

u do not have to be good. u do not have to walk on ur knees for a hundred miles through the desert repenting. u only have to let the soft animal of ur body love what it loves. tell me about despair, urs, and i’ll tell u mine. meanwhile the world goes on. meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain are moving across the landscape, over the prairies and the deep trees, the mountains and the rivers. meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air, are heading home again. whoever u are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to ur imagination. calls to u like the wild geese, harsh and exciting—over and over announcing ur place in the family of things.

*looks sideways at historical/imperial setting danmei* yeah

I love me a pseudo-historical arranged marriage au but it always nudges my suspension of disbelief when the author has to dance around the implicit expectation that an arranged marriage should lead to children, which a cis gay couple can't provide.

I know for a lot of people that's irrelevant to what they want from an Arranged Marriage plot, but personally I like playing in the weird and uncomfortable implications.

So, I've been thinking about how you would justify an obviously barren marriage in That Kind of fantasy world, and I thought it'd be interesting if gay marriage in Ye Old Fantasy Land was a form of soft disinheritance/abdication.

Like, "Oh, God, I don't want to be in this position of power please just find me a boy to marry", or, "I know you should inherit after you father passes but as your stepmother/legal guardian I think it'd make more sense if my kids got everything, so maybe consider lesbianism?", or "Look, we both know neither of our families has enough money to support that many grandkids, so let's just pair some spares and save both our treasuries the trouble".

Obviously this brings in some very different dynamics that I know not everyone would be pinged by, but I just think it'd be neat.

@raat-jaaga-paakhi LOOK!

Saw this pic somewhere and immediately thought of this

And just as i was scrolling through yt to find the exact scene where gothel holds rapunzel's hair, i found this ❤️

My man literally danced on the head of a very poisonous snake. DANCED. If that's not iconic then I don't know what is.

LOUDER FOR THOSE AT THE BACK

So it is a trend in shows to show how Draupadi rejects Karna, saying she won't marry the son of a suta, how she calls Duryodhan "andhe ka putra andha" and laughs at him. Every show does it.

BRC did it. SP MB did it. RK did it. SPK did it. Heck, even that weird ass animation that came out in 2013 showed this as well.

Funnily, this event has 0 mentions in texts.

Karna FAILS in the event. Draupadi does not reject him. You see, Canon Draupadi is a sweet and generous lady. She is not a jealous or egoistic or short-tempered individual, tbh.

Also, check out the ACK Mahabharata. All the characters look immensely pretty in it, plus it is very close to the BORI version of MB so it can be seen as a decent source.

Now, back to the topic.

So technically I was swiping through Insta, and I saw this reel, where they showed Draupadi laughing on Duryodhana,(they used clips from SPK), and the reel showed "Wake up to reality" and then proceeded to show Draupadi being disrobed.

God, I hate the new sigma/alpha trend. Is it really cool to be sexist these days???

Let's just keep aside every perspective of Draupadi's character aside. Whether you like her or not, it does not matter.

She is an INNOCENT woman. She has come in Hastinapur as a GUEST. She did nothing wrong. And even if she had rejected Karna or insulted Duryodhan, it does not give them the right to disrobe her in return.

I feel showrunners try to inculcate the incident of Draupadi insulting these two to justify their hatred towards her?

TBH She did nothing to warrant such atrocious behavior towards her. Now, some ppl also like to blame the Pandavas for this, and honestly I do agree. These five men, who are great warriors, cannot look past their stupid sense of morality to help their own wife. How will they help other women when they cannot stand up for their own wife?

BUT.

BUT.

It is crucial to know that even if the Pandavas did not do anything at the moment, they, and several others like Bhishma, Vidur and Drona, had the decency to acknowledge their wrongs. The Pandavas tried to make amends, and they did. The war may not have been to avenge Draupadi's insult entirely, but it was still a very big factor in the war.

The Kauravas never even acknowledged that their actions were wrong. They dragged a woman to court, a woman who was their sister-in-law, and was in her periods. (Fuck, that must have hurt as hell.)

This woman, she is brought into the hall, and then Dushasan drags her around, as she begs for help. She is called a harlot, for marrying 5 men, when she is not the first woman to do so. Plus everyone knows that it was bound to happen, because of the boon of her previous birth. Draupadi would have had 5 husbands, or none at all.

Now, Karna orders her to be disrobed, Duryodhan passes lewd comments on her, and Dushasan...well, let's not mention him.

As a female, I feel horrible for Draupadi. The amount of physical and mental pain this woman went through because of this incident is incomparable. She would have been stripped naked and potentially gang-raped if it had not been for Krishna #onemorereasontoloveKrishna

And people have the gall to say it is her fault and she got what she deserved. The fucking audacity.

Am I the only one who doesn't like the 'I hate studying so I will become a housewife' reel trend on the Indian side of Instagram? I know it's a joke. A joke made a few times is okay. But the line between humor and conservative beliefs is getting blurry now. These girls are lowkey proving the Sigma males right. I don't think we should popularize this trend.

Most of the housewives in our country wanted to study, wanted to work but due their circumstances, they are housewives. If someone willingly wants to become a housewife, I respect their decision. But just because you're too lazy to study, that is not a reason to become a housewife. Becoming a housewife is tougher than studying. And no one would be actually able to pull it off when the time arrives.

don’t stop talking about what’s happening

Subhadra & Uttara : the Parallels

Both of them have many elder brothers, and canonically, they are the only girls in the house.

Both of them got married to the best archer/warriors of their generation

Both of them are their husbands' cousins, whether direct cross cousins, or distant "not biological" cousins.

Both of them have a shitty uncle. Yeah, Kamsa is Subhadra's uncle, technically speaking, or precisely, step-uncle.

Both of them had to bear separation from their husbands albeit permanent in one case-

Both of them had one child, a son.

Both of them are underappreciated women, who deserve so much better.

Both of them are known for just their fathers/brothers, husbands and sons, not for who they are, really.

Both of them died lonely, and all alone, as the last ones left of their generation.

#god yes. #subhadra #uttaraa #mbh
