hey apparently there are haters following me and i just want to say i fully support mspec lesbians, mspec gays, lesboys, gaygirls, gaybians, etc etc and any queer good faith identities that are contradictory or confusing or """"wrong""". my own identity and some of my friends' identities fit this definition completely. if you don't like this you can unfollow me 👍

#juice.txt #not a dni just a suggestion since apparently IM on some of my followers' dnis #excluding random people from being queer because they 'don't fit' the standard is unhealthy and unhelpful #the standards are made up and subjective #and respectability politics is a historically awful strategy #also!! queerness tends to get really complicated for aroace people such as myself :)#tertiary attraction changes the game #idk. if you're against this stuff i'd recommend just. genuinely listening to people who support it and then making your opinion #but if not #well #that's not my problem

Napoleon and Josephine

I love them, they are my favourite couple ever since I studied French history at middle school. I know that she probably didn't love him at the beginning of the marriage, they cheated on each other and broke up, but I also know that they remained good friends after the divorce, and I like to think that they might have cleared up and gotten back together, if an afterlife exists (I hope so). I know that I probably have strange ideas, because the majority of people doesn't ship real people or people dead for 200 years.

Sorry for this outburst, but I didn't know any other place to express myself, I was a bit afraid of other people's judgments😅

Ps. I think that "Summertime Sadness" by Lana Del Rey is good for them (or maybe "I wanna be yours" by Arctic Monkeys)

CREDITS: I found this beautiful drawing on Pinterst, published by "Cecilia", but this work was drawn by rivaldii

I just love that Starks were always the big mystery for Targaryens like yeah they’d heard shit but so few ever met a stark and I just love that when they actually do targs are like okay google How Do I Have Sex With This Rugged Stern Man Immediately there’s always some hinted secret heated romance going on in those hot spring fed walls of winterfell and of course starks are like well a soft southerner but like man they do ride those dragons huh they gotta be pretty tough and wild on the inside I guess I’m gonna eat their ass tonight

#I’m looking at you alaric and alysanne #oppposites attract diabolically for house stark and house Targaryen #this is why for the most part I’m convinced George is gonna make dany and Jon at least fuck like there is historical precedent 👀#valyrianscrolls #house stark #house targaryen #asoiaf #like cregan and jace....hello #also lyanna and rhaegar

So, I've been meaning to post an update about the Big Job Situation Thing from the beginning of September, if any of you remember that—it took nearly a month to get the equivocal news that this promotion/relocation within my company was now subject to a hiring freeze.

But the winds can change fast on Lake Erie, as Commodore Perry learned!!! This morning I took a Zoom call from the hiring manager and verbally accepted the offer after she informed me that the position was open again!! So yes I am moving!!! I'm pretty much vibrating with excitement on this Miwackulous Monday.

I'm staring down a very stressful and hectic next month, but this is the good news I was hoping to hear!!!!!!!

#shaun talks #exclamation points!!!!#by coincidence i am going to visit some historical attractions in the area in a few weeks #i may as well stop by my new job omg?!

Aro culture is being sick of "They aren't dating anyone so they must be gay/a lesbian!"

Nothing against people headcanoning characters as gay or lesbian (I'm arospec ace and gay) but like. Aromanticism exists too.

(This was brought on by seeing a slide in a PowerPoint in my English Lit lesson today (13th March), I didn't see it fully since the teacher was just skipping over it quickly to check some other context stuff but it said something about how in the book we're studying, Jekyll and Hyde, none of the major characters are in romantic relationships and therefore it's possible that they could be gay. I might bring up that they could also be aro when my teacher brings it up?)

.

#aro culture is #aro #aromantic #actually aro #actually aromantic #ask #mod phoenix #also like... contextually how can that be interpreted through the historical/cultural lens of the era?#how might a romantic/sexual relationship have affected the story?#like ngl i also HATE the way that there's an assumption that if a person has dated someone of [some gender] they MUST be attracted to them #like even if the major characters were in a romo/sexual relationship:#does that actually mean they are exclusively attracted to that gender? is it not possible that - for example - they're a- or m-spec?#or even: what if they aren't romo/sexually attracted to them? what if we are meant to interpret that attraction as misunderstood?#or as forced upon them by a narrative?

Carte de visite of a handsome French officer, c. 1860s

#the way men not only cinched the waist but also padded the torso to create an unnaturally smooth curve makes them look like toy soldiers #which like so much of 19th century fashion sits in that sweet spot between attractive and absurd #19th century #1800s #1860s #19th century fashion #military fashion #military history #men's fashion #fashion history #historical fashion #uniforms #19th century photography #carte de visite #cdv #second empire

as I’ve been hungrily tearing through every fic of Jon Coming To Terms With His Asexuality, I only JUST really registered that he is biromantic or panromantic asexual. which like, duh, we all know, but...he probably realized, and had to Come To Terms with BOTH elements of his romantic/sexual identity, maybe separately

and this isn’t just anyone, either!! no: this is jonathan “very sad” sims, raised by his GRANDMOTHER, during the height of the AIDS epidemic (and boy did that contribute to preexisting homophobia in the West) jon’s internalized homophobia (probably of the very familiar ‘I’m completely fine with other people being queer but I do not like men absolutely not no never’ variety) must have been through the roof. god bless Georgie Barker for probably being the one to guide him through this journey of self-discovery

lowkey puts 199 in perspective more. Jon probably wouldn’t have dated Martin if not for Georgie.

#jon: georgie i have something to tell you....i think i might....be attracted to...men....and other genders possibly #georgie: OMG jon we're bi/pan buddies!!!!#jon: wot #lol #I LOVE GEORGIE #alsdjflasdjf #tma #has anyone read the yt comments under episode 106 (ace jon confirmed episode?)#i love seeing them comment under it like oh my god my favorite character is just like me!!#all of the yt tma fans are so happy #like fuck yeah. fuck.yeah.#the magnus archives #jmart #jonmartin #putting tma in historical context episode one billion #happy pride month #asexuality #jarchivist #society put jon through the wringer and fed his entrails to the wolves

I will never get tired of hearing people complain about the euphemisms or censored versions of words used on tiktok. I have friends that are on tiktok and there have been times we’ve been texting and they’ve used “unalive” or “seggs” in PRIVATE CONVERSATIONS and not accidentally, they honest to god thought the censored version of the word was what I’d prefer to read. The day I hear “unalive” in an in person conversation is the day I fake my death and move to the woods

yeah it's

deeply disturbing

and contrary to what Certain People got out of my post, I do not think this is the fault of the TikTok users in question! they're just doing their best to talk about their lives and form community in an incredibly toxic environment!

but...that doesn't make it any less off-putting or frightening when it starts becoming the norm outside of that environment

corporate-driven censorship should not become part of common courtesy

#ask #anon #and you know what? yes I do think it's different when it's driven by the needs of a corporation #rather than sparing someone's feelings (common euphemisms for death)#or to avoid attracting a supernatural being's attention historically ('the Fair Folk' or 'bear')#it's not WORSE than government or social prejudice-based self-censorship but #it's similarly disturbing in a different way #language #internet #tiktok #censorship

officially introducing smallpox into my book. no one’s gonna catch it but like there are characters with smallpox scars, it being more or less the western han dynasty

#it’s a fantasy setting but it’s also historical #and also i like having a selection of non-attractive features to give characters #ryddles #my writing
