you say machete has to be closeted then why's he always wearing them little heels

Maybe he thinks he's a tiny bit nicer looking in them.

#no in fact he's just a little ahead of the curve let me try to explain #again I'm not a historian I'm just sharing what I've read I might be misremembering stuff so don't quote me on this #high heels became extremely fashionable in the early 1600's probably just a few decades after Machete's time #and they were originally worn by men #because they were inspired by Persian riding boots #if your shoes had heels you'd have easier time keeping your feet in the stirrups (think of cowboy boots)#Europeans saw them thought they looked snazzy and they became wildly popular in noble circles fairly quickly #for some hundred years or so high heels were the epitome of class wealth power and status and they were essentially genderless #remember that concepts of masculinity and femininity are fluid and change over time #things that were seen as manly a few centuries ago may seem downright effeminate to a modern viewer #it's all matter of perspective neither is objectively more correct than the other #they started to separate into men's heels and women's heels around mid 1700's iirc but the changes weren't massive even then #and only truly went out of vogue when the French Revolution hit in 1789 #and people all across the continent were suddenly put off by everything that reminded them #of the frivolousness and extravagance of royalty and aristicracy #so in his canon timeline I don't think people are looking at him and going “hmmm that's pretty gay”#because heels hadn't become gendered yet #maybe he likes how they accentuate his already tiny paws and make his legs look even longer than they are #he's interested in fashion or at least likes to dress nicely in high quality garments #he tries very hard to look his best despite never really feeling comfortable in his skin #he was a real shrimp as a kid and even though he eventually grew up to be a beanpole he might still find the extra height appealing #no one's going to look down on him ever again #I admit the way I draw them is a lot more modern than the true historical style at the time but not outrageously so #artistic freedom and all that in the end I'm not aiming for 100% accuracy #modern au Machete has no excuses though he's just a little bit fruity #if the guy feels empowered by wearing little clip cloppers let him #answered #anonymous #Machete

Iran is mourning the death of an innocent girl, killed by the morality police, just because she wasn't wearing her hijab properly. (FYI, women are forced to wear hijab in Iran by the government. They can't freely choose what they wear.) The government is filled with oppressors and dictators who abuse Islam just for their own gain. Persians have been suffering for so long under this regime and no one is helping them, they are alone in the face of tyranny. People are fighting against the police and government forces with bare hands. Internet access has been limited and there is no coverage in the government's official media of what is actually happening in the country. The president is currently in America, lying outrageously about the situation.

There is no freedom, no choice, no say in their future. They can fight, but can they win?

Please be Mahsa Amini's voice, the girl who was killed for no reason other than the authorities' need for repressing people. Be the voice of oppressed Iranian women.

Hating Israel for killing innocent people and praising the islamic republic at the same time is certainly a take

Persian new year is here and time to reflect on the year that past. Last year this day, I hated being Iranian and living in Iran. Today I couldn't be more proud of my people. In the last six months, Iranians raised against the criminal dictatorship currently running this country and fought for democracy and human rights. Many were murdered, many were arrested. Many are still in prison. Men, women, and children. Their families are devastated and have to spend this new year without their loved ones. But people are still hopeful. I'm still hopeful. And I have only one wish: next year this day, we celebrate new year with this regime gone.

Down with the Islamic Republic. Long live freedom.

Happy new year my fellow iranians and people of neighbor countries who also celebrate nowruz. 🌱

This is one of the best, factual explanations I've seen on the history of the veil in Iran.
