#unknown women

[icaruspendragon]

something the women in my family are absolutely flabbergasted by every time it comes up is the fact that i don’t own a scale.

“how do you know how much you weigh??” they cry.

“i don’t.” i simply respond.

“you look thinner, have you lost weight?” they ask at christmas.

“i dunno.” i say as i check on the turkey.

“you look bigger, have you gained weight?” they probe, as if my weight rests on their shoulders.

“i’m not sure, but it’s fine if i have.” i respond with a casualness they cannot comprehend.

“don’t you want to know if you’ve lost or gained?” they inquire over cups of coffee and a plate of untouched cookies.

“i do.” i take a sip. “which is why i don’t need to know.”

“we don’t understand.” they say.

“i’ll drive myself mad if i know. it’s been a question i’ve been looking for the answer to since i was in the seventh grade and my weight was the topic of conversation for the first time; the stretch marks on my calves puberty brought being questioned and condemned. and so i started weighing myself once a day. then twice a day. i gained weight as i grew and was told to stop. i got depressed when i was 16 and the weight i gained was more concerning than the scars on my thighs. the critiques turned to compliments during my first year of college when i’d started skipping meals and my body had to feed itself because i wouldn’t. everyday i stepped on the scale and smiled as i watched that number get smaller and smaller. hunger felt like victory. i started doing drugs that took away my appetite and then my strength. and started feeling guilt when my stomach felt full. and suddenly every time i looked in the mirror i hated what i saw. the more weight i lost, the better i was supposed to feel. each remark on another part of my body lost felt like a slap to the face. i was told i looked good but i knew i wasn’t good enough. and so i tried harder. and then i started to get dizzy when i stood. and i ignored it like i’d learned to ignore my hunger. and then one day at work i dropped like the weight that was never enough after i bending at the waist to grab a milk cap from the floor. and when the darkness faded, i was surrounded by panic as an ambulance was called. and then i was tested and prodded and poked because they thought something was wrong with my heart. and the problem persisted but they never found out why. but i’d known all along. and then i left home and its scale behind. and moved into a new home that was mine. so i bought plates and sheets and art for the walls. but i didn’t buy a scale. then every time i walked down an aisle i’d see the them and pause. and i’d think about the hunger i now kept at bay. and even though i didn’t know how much i weighed, i didn’t notice my body had changed. and i’d think about how i hadn’t been dizzy for months. and how i hadn’t fainted for longer. and then i’d keep on walking. and now most days i like how i look.”

“but don’t you want to be skinny?” comes their quiet response.

“i want to be myself in whatever body i have.”

they stare in disbelief. so i shrug my shoulders, and grab a cookie. and i smile at them as i swallow the first bite.

#trigger warning ed #tw disordered eating #body neutrality i love you !! #the women in my family cannot comprehend that i don’t diet anymore #and that i just eat what i want #and that im okay with the unknown #bc my body tried its hardest to be kind to me #even when i tried my hardest to be unkind to it #and now it’s time to pay it back #throw out your scales!! they’re bad for your mental health!!

So you saw fell in love with Lily Gladstone in Killers of the Flower Moon and now you want her on your screen as much as possible? I’m here to help.

Certain Women directed by Kelly Reichardt

This was the first time I saw Lily Gladstone in anything and I screamed about her specifically for days. The film is segmented into three stories about women living in the northwestern plains region of the US. All three segments are good, but Lily Gladstone’s is by far my favorite. She plays a ranch hand who starts sitting in on a night school law class when she develops a crush on the teacher, played by (bonus!) Kristen Stewart.

Certain Women is streaming on The Criterion Channel, AMC+, and Kanopy (Kanopy is free!). It is also available to rent on the major platforms.

The Unknown Country directed by Morrisa Maltz

This movie is stunning. Think Nomadland but even more stripped down. Lily Gladstone plays a character on a roadtrip to reunite with her estranged family after the death of her grandmother. Along the way she tries to learn more about who her grandmother was in life and reconnect with her memory. A lot of the film is unscripted, and breathtaking shots of the western US landscape punctuate the brief encounters she has at each stop on her journey.

The Unknown Country is available to rent on the major platforms such as Apple TV, Amazon, and YouTube.

Quantum Cowboys directed by Geoff Marslett

This one’s for the multiverse fans. A really fun romp that might make your head hurt if you think about it too hard. Lily Gladstone plays a character in the 1870’s southwest who encounters a pair of travelers stuck in a time loop (sort of). She enlists their help (sort of) in a plan to recover land that was taken from her and in return helps them in their attempt to break their cycle. Most of the film is rotoscope animation, so it’s a completely different type of a performance from Lily Gladstone. I had the extraordinary luck of meeting her at a festival screening last year and they said it was such a fun deviation from their usual hyper realistic work.

Quantum Cowboys is available to rent on major platforms such as Apple TV, Amazon, and YouTube.

Fancy Dance directed by Erica Tremblay

The most recent Lily Gladstone film to blow me away, and maybe my favorite film of 2023. Lily Gladstone plays a character who has been trying to find her missing sister while simultaneously providing care for her sister’s daughter. When it appears she may lose custody, the two hit the road to search for the teen’s mother. It’s sad and sweet and beautiful. I have to warn that the subject matter is heavy and all too real but that’s why it’s an important story. It’s about something that is so pervasive, yet people outside of the community affected turn a blind eye to it.

Fancy Dance will be distributed by Apple this year, exact dates tba. It will be available in theaters and on Apple TV+. Erica Tremblay previously directed Lily Gladstone in the short film Little Chief, which can be found on Vimeo.

#lily gladstone #killers of the flower moon #certain women #the unknown country #quantum cowboys #fancy dance #little chief #these are just the works that really showcase her skill in my opinion #you can also find her in smaller roles in first cow reservation dogs walking out and others #she is unmatched as an actor no matter how small the role #i could go on

Some women become playful when they are smoking. And some revert to tricks. One of the time-honored stunts is blowing smoke in the face of someone. This Italian beauty felt the urge. She rocks it!

'RIGHT AT YOU!' YOU LIKE IT SMACK INTO YOUR FACE, YES!

They're making a point, what it exactly is we're not so sure, but this unidentified BHYSW (Beautiful Hot, Young Smoking Woman) from Italy is making her point, letting her feelings known when she jettisons the smoke directly at someone! A hot lightup and five drags, three of which into the face of the cameraman, right into the lens! She scores her points . . . leaving us a tad bit mesmerized by the whole scene!

Dual-Media Single-Post, 28-Pack Megapost!

Not sure of our Smoking Honey's motivation for the "blow-it-in-your-face" decision here but ordinarily there are two basic intents. First, serving as a "cocktease," trying to entice a would-be partner's interest in her for some intimate fun. Second, to annoy a non-smoker who is particularly bothered by second-hand smoke wafting about or in a thick haze. And that would be done to someone(s) in the N-S crowd who are being particularly distasteful in their objections to being exposed to the smoke they hate. Here, we cannot really speculate because it's doubtful anyone is holding the camera (smartphone)! We've seen such clips for before but this is among the most arousing, we'd say. This video was downloaded by "The Staff" on April 2, 2024, and we wanted to get it out to you all as soon as we could. From the high-quality Instagram page IG@smoking_pleasure_. We hope you enjoy. She is quite pretty but in each of the previous clips we've seen of her she's been wearing sun glasses so it is rather difficult to ascertain truly just how attractive she is. One thing we can determine, she is a hot, stylish and seductive smoker! We plan to bring more of her on to our lineups here! Like her snap inhales!

eowyn should have been a lesbian. Eowyn/faramir is like, fine, but it misses the point of eowyn for all baby dyke eowyn stans which is not that she longs for glory in battle and doesn't realize war is ugly and brutal, but that she's caught between two awful options and she doesn't want to be given one based on her gender. She's not in love with aragorn, she envies him because she finds the tasks he has in life more preferable and she hero worships him. Is this the point Tolkien was trying to make? Well, no,

#look it is LESS objectionable than other similar fantasy storylines because tolkien is making a point about the brutality of war #but i do think he correctly observes a particular impulse in some women without fully understanding the underlying tensions #he's like. for reasons unknown some women would prefer to face horrible dangerous circumstances than stay at home & tend the family castle #don't you see the castle is the important thing! #the castle is more important yes that's not the POINT #anyway. it will not be until many years later that some of those baby dykes will be able to articulate the vague feeling of betrayal #guy jobs are horrible and exploitative too on this we agree. but you see some of us will die if we have to figure out how to be nurturing

Honest to God people need to start writing stupid romances of two knights just going and fucking around. Getting into and out of drama. But with fewer stakes in the arthurian canon. We should just put Camlann on the shelf of topics untill everyone writes their own stupid little story that is definitely true and they found it in a manuscript and it's not just my own funny little story CMON guys

#i dont wanna see fall of Camelot shit i want to see fair unknowns and courtly love #i want to see weird tests of honor and strange interactions with maybe magical women

A stunner from Italy! From Instagram@dangle_angels and Instagram@ale_pierroo who is friendly with our Smoking Honey. You've seen precious few women in your life any hotter than she is!

SHARING SCREEN TIME WITH HER BUDDY | THIS IS AN ITALIAN KNOCKOUT!

Are they friends? Are they partners? Ex-lovers? It does not matter! This is one stunning Italian BHYSW (Beautiful Hot, Young Smoking Woman)! Two other snippets of her out there that we will endeavor to bring her your way! Cannot fathom ever getting enough time spent gazing at her smoking cigarettes! They are not international spies, are they? Going to join Team Biden or Team Trump? Thank goodness not, most likely!

Discovered this Smoking Angel on April 2, 2024 on Instagram@dangle_angels in a story, a video narrative by Instagram@ale_pierroo, who is friendly with our unnamed and unknown and unidentified BHYSW! We're hopeful that we'll see more of her and possibly longer in duration than a mere 12 seconds. That's just a tease. But she has piqued our attention in an arousing kind of way, to be perfectly blunt about the entire deal! And this is her debut on our network. A post of her on lostlighter23 is in our production schedule in a remarkable ⏤ and brief ⏤ video clip whereby she shares the spotlight with no one but herself (sorry ale_pierroo)!
