#ty hollis!!!

[supercantaloupe]

my brain is very gone. i cannot read questions but i wanna participate. what’s your fav kind of tea? how do you take your tea?

ooh i love a lot of types of tea so i could never pick a single favorite. i'd say for a single (though often large) cup of hot tea my preference is usually for something strong and fruity. i like herbal blends with hibiscus, peaflower, rosehip etc and/or dried fruit pieces, although this year i've really been enjoying a couple of fruity white or green tea/herbal blends. i love these hot and either unsweetened or with just a drop of honey. this is also usually what i take in my thermal mug to campus bc it doesn't easily suffer from overbrewing so i can brew it in the morning at 9am and have a still-hot cup of tea to drink in rehearsal at 6pm. although occasionally i'll take something black to drink as a single cup; my preference is usually for something strong and spiced, with a bit of cream and lightly sweetened. but if i'm sitting down for an hour or two and enjoying a whole pot of tea, i'm usually drinking either one of the fruit/tea blends or i'm drinking an oolong, no sweetener. i have this WONDERFUL oolong in my cabinet right now from a regional teashop i love that's scented with grape and blackberry and it's got the most well rounded, juicy body to it -- if i had to pick a single favorite it might be that but it's expensive and small batch so i try to save it for when i can really sit down and enjoy it.

as for iced teas: love a cold fruity or hibiscus tea, barely sweet; black tea, strong and lightly sweet, especially with milk (a la boba shop milk tea or chai latte); LOVE an arnold palmer (half unsweet tea/half lemonade); and whatever the hell they put in diet snapple, i could go through cases of that shit all by myself in no time flat.

basically the only teas i don't really like are anything minty, chamomile, and plain green teas and matcha. although i'm recently becoming a convert to the joys of jasmine tea. besides it just tasting good what i love about tea is that there's just So Much out there that there's always something new to try and fall in love with

#sasha answers #masculinepeacock #ty hollis!!! #sorry this is probably. longer than you expected haha #i simply love tea. if i had to get a retail job of some kind i think i would be very at home in a tea store #they're so cute and quaint. and the ladies who work in them are so friendly. #i think abt tea the way Wine People treat wine and Coffee People treat coffee #i mean i'm not like being extremely precise about brew times and water temperatures and brewing setups/methods or anyhting #i don't really have the time for that (though there's a chinese teahouse in the city i've been meaning to visit. mmm!) #nevertheless i love thinking about the tasting notes and fragrances and all those other kinds of nuances that get clowned on for being #pretentious or something. idk. i just think it's fun and tasty :) #i wish tea culture was bigger here in the same way that coffee culture and alcohol culture are so i could indulge in this kind of #public nerdery more often but alas! #i think tea culture like that is much more of a thing in east asia. ah well #i will always remember fondly the tea tasting we did at the little shop in the chinese village in thailand #and deeply regret not buying any to take home with me...

The misogynistic pitfall of anti-misogyny morals (ATLA and Artemis Fowl)

[Note: everyone both suffers from and upholds misogyny no matter what. It's everywhere and in everyone's subconscious biases. People of all genders make the world a better when they take that effort to listen to others' experiences and recognise we're all human.]

‘Show, don’t tell’ is one of the most fundamental rules of writing because nothing takes you out of a story like battling with what you’re reading for the right interpretation. It forces you to back out of the reading experience and re-process everything.

This is where the pitfall of anti-misogyny morals lies in otherwise very well-written media like ATLA and Artemis Fowl.

In the Book 1 finale of ATLA, the protagonists arrive in the Northern Water Tribe where Katara is told she cannot learn martial Waterbending because she is a girl. Katara and the other protagonists revolt against this and the episode ends with Katara being able to join the boys’ class. Similarly, in Artemis Fowl (Book 1), Holly Short is the first female Recon officer. She revolts against surrounding male officers who tell her she should not be in Recon because she is a woman and she continues despite it.

Surely, the interpretation is meant to be “Don’t exclude or look down on people just because they’re girls/women”. However, what do they actually say about girls/women at large?

In ATLA, we don’t see any other girls discuss their inability to learn martial Waterbending, either for or against. We don’t see any other girls join Pakku’s lessons even after he acknowledges Katara as a master. When the Fire Nation invade, we don’t see the women’s healing or general Waterbending skill come in handy. The interpretation you could reasonably come to is no girl or woman in the Northern Water Tribe wants to learn martial Waterbending or has anything to contribute with their Waterbending.

In Artemis Fowl, we learn of one other female officer in the LEP: Lili Frond. But Short balks at the idea of her being in Recon because she’s a “bimbo”. In other words, Frond cannot be Recon because she is unintelligent in a specifically feminine way. Of course, this could reveal Short’s biases. She’s been so degraded for being a woman, she’s internalised that femininity is not appropriate for her profession. However, Frond only ever appears in reference to her rising ranks because she’s an attractive woman riding her family’s coattails. We never hear of other female officers trying to follow Short’s lead or involve any other female fairy. The other prominent female characters in the book are Juliette Butler, who’s a distractable teenage maid that Short mind-controls, and Angeline Fowl, who spends the book catatonic in grief over her husband’s disappearance. Minor roles. The interpretation you could reasonably come to is no woman advances in the LEP on her own skill or has anything to contribute in the central kidnapping plot.

When you set up an anti-misogyny plot in a piece of media that doesn’t lend much agency or interest to other girls/women, it becomes an issue of ‘telling’ not ‘showing’. “Girls can do anything” becomes “Well, Katara and Holly Short can do anything”.

#atla #the last airbender #avatar #artemis fowl #holly short #katara #people can be very good writers but forgetting to acknowledge the other half of the population gives it shaky foundation #importantly avatar got much better in this regard #the very next season gives us toph azula mai and ty lee who are all distinctly motivated and important #lok got even better by involving a lot more women in the plot (rather than just girls) #but this was why i wasn't fundamentally against making root a woman in the film (if only the film hadn't thrown out the rest of the book) #holly can still battle misogyny and have it be a part of her arc with other female officers around her #root was already established as not geniunely looking down on holly as a female officer but feeling the need to push her to appease others #you've also got non-recon staff who could be involved a la foaly

the empress

[Image Description: An empress tarot card using @beatricexbenedick’s character divine, from the home game Lost Township. Divine is a tan woman with dark hair in a long purple dress, stockings, and white cowboy boots. She is sat on a soft looking pink chair, holding a violin bow by her chest. Her hair falls over one of her eyes and she has a determined expression on her face. The dress she’s wearing has a camisole top and a long skirt with a slit, falling open to show one of her legs. There is a violin propped up against her chair. She is sat in front of a river and a pink skied sunrise, with a western style schoolhouse on the horizon. The empress is written in block capitals at the bottom left and there’s a small blue heart in the top right corner with the number 3 written inside of it. The second image is a close up of her face. End ID.]

So, I saw a reel about Percy, Nico, and Bianca with the background song being Two Birds (and that hurt) but then my reader brain was like, "hey there's some more pain right there, think about it. Thaaaaat's right" and guess what? That song so fits Kit and Ty, as well as Jude and Cardan *screaming silently into the void!!!*
