#The Ugly Ducklings

[theshadowrealmitself]

Actually this has to be its own post, I hate how people treat the moral of the ugly duckling tale like it’s “don’t worry you’ll grow up to be beautiful”

no!!! It was never an ugly duckling because it was never a duck!!! It was a baby swan!!! A cygnet!!! It was never ugly to begin with!!! People only thought it was ugly because they were judging it by their own standards!!!! The moral is that you aren’t ugly, people just don’t see you as you are!!!!

The Ugly Duckling was always my favourite story as a kid because I told myself I would one day grow up to a beautiful swan, but as I got older I unlocked a third option: press X to honk

hand over machete’s gender now!! this is a robbery!!! 🔫

Noo you can't take his gender, he's using that.

#answered #anonymous #he doesn't have a lot going for him #but after being the mousy ugly duckling kid for 20 years or so at least he finally has his gender presentation figured out

Growing up with autism, the story of "The Ugly Duckling" really resonated with me, for I too was ostracized by my peers because I liked to honk and bite people

Sometimes you truly do forget and believe you are just an ordinary woman in the world and then you have a conservation with Cis Heterosexual Jessica From Work and it comes up offhandedly that you don't own any makeup and she looks at you like you've just confessed to being hannibal lector

#relatedly: when i showed up to my graduation in a nice plain dress shirt and slacks #and every other woman in my class was in like a prom dress with strappy heels full hair and makeup done #''oh'' [ugly duckling realization that there is something wrong with you]

Imagine genuinely going: "only MY favorite character is allowed to like flowers and be seen with flower imagery. her sister being drawn with flowers is STEALING!!1!1!" Like that's a real point of contention for you. wtf is going on with #that side of the fandom.

Yes, Arya does indeed like flowers. Sansa also likes flowers. Most people like flowers in some capacity. It's not some super-special hyper-individualist personality trait, lmao.

(In my opinion, Arya cataloging the different species of flower she sees on the Kingsroad & being willing to get dirty picking flowers for Eddard is mostly about her inherent connection to & comfort within nature. Arya paid attention to the flowers, yes, but she also paid attention to the animals & the trees & the mud. She’s the Maiden of the Tree. But Arya's connections to these other parts of nature are rarely emphasized the way her connection to flowers is, because they can't be used to over-state her femininity. It's extremely obvious that's what's happening here & I hate hate hate it.)

#I've said it before & I'll say it again: there's this subgroup of arya fans who are simply obsessed with proving how #super-duper girly & hot & motherly & actually traditionally feminine arya is (& she's secretly WAY more feminine than mean ol' sansa !1!!) #and I will forever question what (if anything) they even like about arya beyond the ugly-duckling-to-beautiful-swan facet of her story. #because that's all they ever seem to care about in the end. #anti arya stans #anti arya #I love arya but I'm tagging it like this just so no one can whine about there being 'hate' in the arya tag lol #asoiaf #a song of ice and fire #fandom bs
