“It’s literally impossible to be a woman.

You are so beautiful, and so smart, and it kills me that you don't think you're good enough. Like, we have to always be extraordinary, but somehow, we're always doing it wrong?

You have to be thin, but not too thin, and you can never say you wanna be thin. You have to say you wanna be healthy, but also, you have to BE THIN.

You have to have money, but you can't ask for money because that's crass.

You have to be a boss, but you can't be mean.

You have to lead, but you can't squash other people's ideas.

You're supposed to love being a mother, but don't talk about your kids all the damn time.

You have to be a career woman, but also, always be looking out for other people.

You have to answer for men's bad behavior, which is INSANE, but if you point that out, you're accused of complaining!

You're supposed to stay pretty for men, but not so pretty that you tempt them too much or that you threaten other women because you're supposed to be a part of the sisterhood, but ALWAYS STAND OUT and ALWAYS BE GRATEFUL. But never forget that the system is rigged, so find a way to acknowledge that but ALSO, always be grateful!

You have to never get old. Never be rude. Never show off. Never be selfish. Never fall down. Never fail. Never show fear. Never get OUT OF LINE. It's too hard! It's too contradictory, and nobody gives you a medal or says 'thank you!' And it turns out, in fact, that not only are you doing everything wrong, but also, everything is your fault.

I'm just so tired of watching myself, and every single other woman tie herself into knots, so that people will like us.

And if all of that, is also true for a doll just representing a woman, then I don't even know." -Gloria the barbie movie

this is it. this is exactly it oh my god.

I’m not Jewish but I am currently learning about this in a religious studies class.

This is 100% true!! Proselytizing is something that they just don’t do in Judaism. If you want to convert to Judaism you totally can. I don’t know all the details, but according to the very limited information I received from my Jewish suitemate, it’s not not very hard to do. Unlike other religions where the process can be a literal hell hole. You’re not going to be looked down upon for not being born Jewish either. But no one is going to discuss conversion unless YOU bring it up.

But if you don’t want to convert? That’s not a problem! You will not be treated any differently. Your beliefs will be respected! No one is going to try to convince you to convert.

In all: Want to convert? Cool! Don’t want to convert? Cool!

btw Jewish charity organizations in the USA don’t exist to convert you like Christian charity organizations, they are specifically Jewish because they were likely founded by Jews who were being turned away from other organizations. several Jewish hospitals exist in the US because many Jewish immigrants had degrees but were turned away from other hospitals for being Jewish. so we made our own, lmao. these days most of these organizations are no longer specifically Jewish because job and care discrimination is not as common for us as it used to be. i’m saying this just in case anybody is wary of accepting aid (many Jewish charities set up free food kitchens, for example) from a Jewish charity because of mistreatment by Christian ones, and i think it’s important to understand the difference

This is awesome! The way you described it makes me feel like that Emily would be first by a long shot to figure that they all like each other and would desperately be dropping hints. Meanwhile Charlie and Vaggie are both having a crisis because they are in love with TWO people and have no idea if everyone would be into that. A fun bonus would be Vaggie and Charlie easily catching on that the other likes Emily, but have zero clue if they would fit into the dynamic.

So overall, Charlie knows that Emily and Vaggie like each other, but she doesn’t know if either of them like her or want a poly relationship. Vaggie knows that Emily and Charlie like each other, but she ALSO doesn’t know if either of them like her or want a poly relationship. Emily is fully aware that everyone likes each other and is tired.

Hazbin Hotel Arranged Marriage Idea for Charlie/Emily/Vaggie: In agreement to halt extermination against Sinner/stop a potential war, Hell and Heaven agree to arrange a marriage between Charlie and Emily. A more realistic path will be Charlie residing (held hostage) in Heaven, but I want Emily to live in the Pride Ring. Not trusting the Hellborns, Heaven sends a squadron as guards for Emily, Vaggie just happens to be captain. I don't have much of a plot, but some things I could think of:

Tension between Charlie and Vaggie: Since Vaggie is an Exorcist and hasn't been exiled yet, Vaggie will be more hostile against her. Charlie will try to befriend her and accidentally fall in love because she is so pretty.

Actually, there will be tension between Charlie and Emily, too. Even though Emily was friendly to Charlie in "Welcome to Heaven", she was in her turf But now she is in Hell, and likely being inculcated all her life about Hell will be terrified. Charlie tries to show her the good things of Hell.

In most days, Emily will seek Vaggie in comfort or ask her personal for escorting.

Charlie invites Emily, and indectly, Vaggie, too, a stroll through the Morningstar garden and try to be romantic. But comedy is insured as Hell and Heaven are two very different cultures and have differences of what is considered beautiful. I talking about eldritch plants and horrors.

Charlie tries to bond Vaggie through sparrings, but she does not actually train her ability, keeps getting her ass. And Vaggie, taking pity on her and not because she likes her, teach her how to fight. But, like, one day, she manages to get the upper hand and to land Vaggie on her back. This, and this very important, made Vaggie flustered because she likes it???? Emily is there too since she wants to see her wife and guard/developing crush spur, and now discovering she may have a kink??

Lute is also apart of the guards and she fucking hates Charlie. She thinks the whole marriage is blasphemy but also envy that Vaggie is paying attention to Charlie and not her.

Something like this would be so colossally helpful. I'm sick and tired of trying to research specific clothing from any given culture and being met with either racist stereotypical costumes worn by yt people or ai generated garbage nonsense, and trying to be hyper specific with searches yields fuck all. Like I generally just cannot trust the legitimacy of most search results at this point. It's extremely frustrating. If there are good resources for this then they're buried deep under all the other bullshit, and idk where to start looking.

Guys do u know that one meme where there's a girl and like a bodyguard (???) ordering drinks and the waiter give them the wrong drinks so they switch them on the last panel,???????? BECAUSE I C1NT FING IT^

Shout out to my dumbass who got to work super early because I was anxious and ended up forgetting that the doors would be locked. Had to wait out in the cold for 30 minutes. I woke up earlier than planned for nothing.

magical girls are real, and you have been chosen by a magical creature to become one. The only problem is your a full grown man with 2 kids and a wife.

Is there a word that’s a mix between angry and sad

Apparently I’m in the mood to post about how awesome my mom is because I’m doing it again!

One of the ways we bond is by watching tv shows together. She makes a huge effort to try and be inventive with my interests. As a result she and I watch a lot of anime and cartoons. Remember my mom is in her 50s and she had never even watched anime until she had me. She actually gets very interested and ends up enjoying a lot of the shows we watch together. She has watched anime like Digimon, Fruits Basket, Horimya, half of Bleach, Spy x Family, Hunter x Hunter, and SAO. My mom has also watched cartoons such as Avatar the Last Airbender, The Legend of Korra, the Dragon Prince, and Vox Machina.

As you can see that is a lot. She always ends up shocking people with her knowledge.

For example one of my friends was once fan-girling over RWBY. They were so shocked when my mom was able to completely understand what they were talking about and include her opinions about the show.

She is just so open-minded and I know it’s rare, at least in my area, for parents to get so engaged with this kind of stuff. I love her.
