Billy: that one. I want that one.
I found this on ifunny, and you know what? This douchebag needs to be known. Noone should ever be allowed to make someone hurt so badly. Lets signal boost this.
─ Portrait of Henriette Sontag by Paul Delaroche (1831)
Been looking at some black figure pottery recently and that resulted in a gif of Athena’s least favorite gorgon lady seeking vengeance on a certain sea god.
i rlly enjoy picturing kylo’s reign as supreme leader just being the most catastrophic thing ever like he goes to the bridge all calmly, cape on his shoulders, hair primped, and then he thinks about his girlfriend leaving him for two seconds and suddenly all of the consoles are broken a mouse droid got kicked across the room and like a few officers, a squad of stormtroopers, and general hux are all floating in the air in various states of torment, all clawing at their throats
“Do you remember that story about that young man who almost beat me up? It was a very funny story. It was very funny, I made a lot of people laugh about his ignorance, and the reason I could do that is because I’m very good at this job. I actually am pretty good at controlling the tension. And I know how to balance that to get the laugh at the right place. But in order to balance the tension in the room with that story, I couldn’t tell that story as it actually happened. Because I couldn’t tell the part of the story where the man realized his mistake. And he came back. And he said “Oh, no, I get it. You’re a lady faggot. I’m allowed to beat the shit out of you.” And he did! He beat the shit out of me and nobody stopped him. And I didn’t… report that to the police, and I did not take myself to the hospital, and I should have. And you know why I didn’t? It’s because I thought that was all I was worth.
And that is what happens when you soak one child in shame, and give permission to another to hate. And that was not homophobia pure and simple, people. That was gendered. If I’d been feminine, that would not have happened. I am incorrectly female. I am incorrect, and that is a punishable offense.
And this tension, it’s yours. I am not helping you anymore. You need to learn what this feels like because this… this tension is what non-normals carry inside of them all of the time because it is dangerous to be different.”
