"Where is my historically accurate hetalia representation of this and that!!!" Babe, I am so sorry to tell you, but history is very complicated and nuanced and layered and you cannot cram every facet and faction of a fraction of time that a population experienced into the cartoon men. Choose one viewpoint, write an essay and be done with it.

#beablabbers #which is again why I like my LFLS and Human AUs #they NEVER represent their country in there. they take inspiration in the broad strokes but they are individuals. #the represent one kind of person of their people that was around at the time. one strain. one human. #and before people are annoying on here - I do trust good historical hetalia writers in this fandom #I trust that they are aware that they have made certain choices and certain readings in their research and decided on certain things #the country angle is extra tricky but it is how each piece of historical fiction is an interpretation #human au or not all MY historical AUs are an interpretation of my sources!!! and me taking some leeway here!!! #that is why we have footnotes in academia so ppl can see where your argument is coming from!!!

Still thinking about "Ach, John is really dying for that peace thing ... I hope it works out for him." Sarah quote of all time.

#beablabbers #derry girls #this show became twice as funny after reading making sense of the troubles

People make art to not explode, even if it is shitty fanfiction. Why is there so much grief inside of me and into how many fictional little people do I have to cram it before it stops being unexpressable.

"The literature of the Hellenistic period began to place more emphasis on male sexuality. For instance, in Apollonios's Argonautika, the third-century BCE reinvention of the epic that narrated the journey of Jason and the Argonauts for the Golden Fleece, Jason is not only handsome, a common characteristic of heroes since the Homeric epics, but also sexually alluring. Charles Beye has argued that this is the defining aspect of his character. Jason's sexual allure attracts women, particularly Medea, whom Jason recruits to his cause and convinces to betray her family. It can be argued that it is the magic and cleverness of Medea, rather than the heroism of Jason (who is not portrayed by Apollonios as the smartest of men), that allows the Argonauts to succeed and propels the action of the story. Jason's contribution to the success of the endeavor is therefore his ability to make women, Medea particularly, fall in love with him and follow him despite the consequences. This makes Jason a distinctly Hellenistic hero, since in contrast to traditional epic heroes, like Achilles and Odysseus (who were certainly also attractive and who had numerous sexual relationships), Jason's dominant characteristic is his power of sexual attraction. As Beye states, "His sexuality is simply the essence of his being." The literary example of Jason demonstrates that men were now viewed not only as sexual aggressors but also as objects of sexual desire for both women and other men."

I fucking LOVE it when an idiom works both in English and in German. Either because it has the same components or because the English one also has the same opportunity for fun use in the text. Get in!

Rewatching Derry Girls with the lasses and Gerry really moved into a war zone (The McCool house, not the North)

Can't stop thinking how exemplary Francis taking care of Jopson is, like. He is not a sentimental man, he isn't good at mincing words, he isn't good at entertaining and drawing people in. But he cares. HE CARES SO GODDAMN MUCH. So he's gonna tell you the fucking cow story again, bc it is one of the few he got and you look like death itself, so you need to be distracted and kept awake. It was his neighbour's cow.

Gay sex would make the situation 10x worse, but we should give it a try anyways.

I do think that portraying Feliciano as a kindhearted and cheery person does in no way exclude that he is also a spoiled and entitled little bitch. In fact, you SHOULD write him as such. And the kindheartedness isn't a mask to hide the bitchyness, these two things just co-exist in the same person. The man wants people happy. He also thinks he can wrap everyone around his little finger to make himself happy.

[And before the fandom police gets on my ass again, idc how you write him, I won't barge into your house and police your Feli fics and headcanons, the 'should' is an emphatetic plea for my case]

I always feel personally victimized whenever Hima or wonderful fanartists draw France so beautiful it hurts. Bastard. Cunt. I keep thinking "Whyyyy does everyone in-universe in my Fanfic love him so madly again" and then I see a France that makes the Angels weep and understand why Michele had to try that. I understand why the Scot cannot let him go, I understand literally every ship.

#beablabbers #I do think he and Michele share that beauty though that always straddles masculinity and feminity and can go either way #aph #hws #hetalia #aph france #hws france #francis bonnefoy #and it's. I am not really mad for him though I do like it when he is a bit of a cruel bastard #I like it when it is Lancelot from NATM3. I like it when it is steering into Contranatura Bridge Francesco territory #but for that I do have Francesco after all and Fran is a tad too haughty for it. But goddamnit can he be PRETTY.

I'm doing a Derry Girl rewatch with my friends and while I am decent at keeping up with the slang, I'm very stumped why in S2, E1, Clare uses "jaffa" for one of the Proddies. Someone care to enlighten me? What I can find online (e.g. a wimpy man), doesn't make much sense to me.
