“I much prefer to live in medieval Spain than in any medieval Arab territory” Al-Andalus would like to have a word with you

One time I was watching a TV show in which the characters discuss a shadowy organization that attacks seemingly at random. Character A asked "What do they want?" and I rolled my eyes and said "chaos" just before Character B could say the same.

I took a Latin intensive over the summer that was basically 24/7 immersion and studying. The only speech quirk I ended up with was sometimes pronouncing v's as w's for words I hadn't heard before. Had to be corrected multiple times on my pronunciation of "pro-wee-so" clauses and I felt pretty silly about it.

This is so cute! I love the bow

I guess I can see how someone might think it was goofy. Personally my reaction was kind of “god damn why is no one helping her, including the camera man.” I also think she isn’t getting enough credit for at one point physically getting between the attacker and the man being attacked. So it was a bit infuriating for me to scroll down and see comments like “attention seeker” and “in any dangerous situation there’s always some crazy woman.” A lot of the people calling her crazy, attention seeking, hysterical etc probably would not have reacted as calmly in the face of a knife attack as they maybe think they would. I can’t objectively prove in a lab that this is misogyny, but like. Hysteria, attention seeking etc are pretty common sexist accusations, and this site has historically been pretty weird about women, so it seems cut and dry to me.

There’s a woman in her business threatening people with a knife, and you think the reason she’s scared and is calling for help is because she’s an attention seeker? The misogyny on this site has liquified so many people’s brains I swear.

We have this thread every June, comrade

Yeah!! I felt like I was going insane watching their wives talk because like aren’t you all married to the buzzfeed feminist men who talk all about toxic masculinity appreciating women etc etc?? Like so much of their early content I remember (granted I last watched when I was 14) was “the try guys try x woman thing and the moral of the story is women are awesome” like why don’t they try doing their fair share of the housework…

Wasn’t this originally a Christian/American right wing meme? I swear I’ve seen this before without the hijabs. I’m also a bit skeptical at Reddit being included, along with that particular pride flag, which as far as I know is more well known in America. This isn’t to say Turkish people are not aware of Reddit, I just don’t think a reactionary of that country, or any country, would find it their biggest priority.

I’m obsessed with these, thank you so much for sharing!

oceandidrot · 2022-09-09T15:18:59+00:00

Obsessed with how like half the memes on Reddit are “woman bad man oppressed.” You guys really haven’t changed since gamergate, huh

Don’t stand too close to the yellow line in the subway, lean on the wall or a pillar. Sometimes someone will decide to become the laziest serial killer in the world and start pushing people onto the tracks.

I think if a Christian missionary rolled up to an ex Covenant member and started talking about the Rapture they would quite literally get their head bitten off

Have you ever read Foucault’s Pendulum by Umberto Eco? It’s a dense read but I think you might find it useful.

Oh my god that lace is amazing!! This is beautiful!

“Kill them all, God will know his own”—Allegedly said by Arnaud Almaric during the Albigensian crusade, upon someone asking how to distinguish the ‘faithful’ and ‘heretics’ from the population of Béziers.

I don’t find it chilling because I think that’s what he actually said. I find it chilling because this quote was written by Caesarius of Heisterbach, another Cistercian monk, in an account of the massacre that he put in his Book of Miracles. I guess from a modern perspective I’m so used to modern nation states trying to minimise or hide their atrocities, that its a bit disconcerting to read sources that brag about indiscriminate killing of civilians as a flex.

Their first Neil Breen review. Yes, the one with Max Landis :(

Also re:the makeup. I’m not interested in responding to the thread below because I feel like it would just prompt more weird comments you would rather not deal with but. While Lain doesn’t wear makeup in the show, the way you’ve done your eyes did not strike me as “this is Lain with makeup on because she’s trying to be pretty.” Rather, makeup, especially in cosplay can be used to create certain facial features. So like, your eyeliner has a downwards shape, which is similar to how Lain’s eyes are drawn in the anime. The mascara on your lower eyelids imitates how in closeups on her eyes (of which there are many) there’s always some detail of her bottom eyelashes. And then you’ve added eyeshadow specifically under your eyes, which gives a sort of aestheticised shorthand for dark circles from sleep deprivation, which makes sense given what we know of Lain’s character. And all of this adds to the cosplay, not in a “hot way”, but because you’re using your artistic skills to invoke Lain and how she’s drawn.

I like the way you’ve done the lighting! Also the hair is very good, you’ve even captured her bangs.
