Straight privilege.

You know, I was sitting in class last week listening to one of my teacher relay a funny story to us about her husband. And I thought about how often all of my other teachers will talk about their husbands or say “My husband did this, I went there with my husband” and so forth. Hell, in my Lang class my teacher regularly relates experiences of her and her husband’s to whatever piece we’re studying to help us analyze. And today I listened to a sub talk about how excited she was for her wedding, how great her fiance is, and the house they have. 

It’s just a small example of straight privilege to be able to talk about those things. Not just in the classroom, but in other professional settings too. If a queer teacher one day said “My partner and I….”; or a male teacher “My husband and I…” there would be obvious discomfort and that teacher would be accussed of “shoving their lifestyle down the students’ throats”. But because straight teachers do it all the time no one thinks of it.

Don’t get me wrong. I like it when teachers open up about their personal lives because I think that it’s possible to learn better and be more involved in class when you have a more personal connection with your teacher. But now I can’t help but think what an incredible privilege it is to be able to casually say to your students/co-workers/etc “My wife and I had the most hectic weekend” and have no one think twice about it.

Thought these were relevant to our current situation in America.

this is depressingly relevant

RESERVATION DOGS 1.02: “NDN Clinic”

You ever hear that old chestnut about how most people neglect the part of the story of Icarus where he also had to avoid flying too low, lest the spray of the sea soak his feathers and cause him to fall and drown? You ever think about how different the world would be if Icarus died that way instead? If the idiom was to Fly To Close To The Sea? A warning against playing it far too safe, about not stretching your wings and soaring properly? You ever think about how Icarus died because he was happy?

Kingmaker finale – tis the end of season 3. It was so frightening dare I say it made me have to pee

^ Do you like my rhyme. Anyways. U know the dril(ling the kingmaker diamond out of Colette's head so I can use it for....... very sane and pacifical reasons....) My @kingmakerpod season 3 finale live reaction below.......

I love the Historian arguing with his editor (FOR FOUR DAYS). Who is his editor. I know it doesnt matter but I feel like the editor is someone the kingmaker fanbase should cling to and make headcanons for. The collaborative headcanon character of Kingmaker. The scp foundation collaborative headcanon character of Kingmaker

The music beneath Telesphore explaining things (after the intro music) IS SO GOOD Also the delivery on “You’ve got other neighbours, Colette. My people are just the only ones who’ve bothered to introduce ourselves” is fucking fantastic

Something that didnt make it into the episode but is written in the transcript was (after the line “It was my codename [Fox], for written correspondence”) “We all had them, and since we were Earth-based we used Earth animals” and I love that line so so much. I could’ve put two and two together w/o reading the transcript I suppose, but I just think thats cute…. that they specifically sought out earth animals to call themselves after

“EISEN: I mean this. You and me, the van, this whole enterprise. Are you still spying now? Has it been going on the whole time?” MY HEART IS BREAKING RIGHT NOW Oh Taqi…. great read…. Also that little “tap tap tap” after “I mean this” was such a great little touch

“NARRATOR: The first symptom of Mage’s Ruin poisoning is vertigo.” SCAARYY INTERJECTION BY THE HISTORIAN PLEASE GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE

“TELESPHORE: …you probably shouldn’t kiss me any time soon, either. | EISEN: I wasn’t planning on it, trust me” YEEOOOUCH IM SAD

TAQIS READS ARE FUCKING FABULOUS “(struggling to articulate) He’s just gonna- he’s…do you know what I mean? And it’s just hard, y’know- if he’s not gonna be–“ MY HEART IS BREAKING SO BAD FUCK YOU!!!

“TELESPHORE: No, she said ‘thank you in advance for the money’, and I didn’t respond in kind. There was no agreement, ergo, there is no deal.” AAAUGGHHHHH

Love this creaking in the bg whilst this scene is happening too Its so subtle yet adds so much to the environment

Ok found one of my new favorite line-sets in kingmaker history…. “TELESPHORE: I could never bring myself to disrespect a dish like that, Colette. Especially not with cyanide. It would totally ruin the flavour profile. | COLETTE: Not if it was an almond streusel, though.”

Timberwolf & The little crystal hybrid

“EISEN: Are you going to compensate us for the tickets, or do we have to fork up for those as well?” Love eisen so dearly

EISEN TINKERING MONTAGE OHMYGODDD THAT SOUNDED FUCKING AMAZING IN MY EARS HMGMY GOD I LISTENED AGAIN. THAT WAS THE COOLEST MOST BADASS THING EVER

I cant imagine actually drinking the dirty water of a mop bucket. I think id rather be poisoned w/ Mage’s Ruin than be forced to do that I gotta be honest

“I only say it because I love you” “(deadpan) thank you so much” LMFAO

its rondo I MEAN LIBERATO (only meg will understand this Hi Meg!!!)

I love this diabetic piano Holy fuck it doubles as both a fake movie soundtrack and a rlly good soundtrack to the actual episode. And the sound design flipping from the theater to the projection room. AND THE LITTLE HEAD WHIP ON “THERE” when Liberato turns Telesphore’s head

Sagas voice acting is fucking awesome I know ive said it before but. It is so good. Everyones performances are going so hard in this AAUGHH WHAT A GREAT FINALE & IM ONLY HALFWAY THRU. I DONT WANT IT TO END BUT IM ON THE EDGE OF MY SEAT

“COLETTE: Yeah, I’m at my limit.” as the kingmaker is pulsing I LOVE THE DELIVERY ON THIS LMFAOOO

I love Taqi’s little additionals like “Well well well” on the “Just as I expected” SO GOOD

ZANETTI. Also “EISEN: See this man? | CONCIERGE: The one who looks like he’s late to his own funeral? I don’t think I could miss him.” LMFAO AND “You’ve, uh, been very helpful” COLETTES FUCKING VOICE HELPP

HISTORIAN STOP CUTTING IN WITH THE FUCKING MAGES RUIN SYMPTOMS YOURE SCARING THE FUCK OUTTA ME IMGOING TO KILL HIM. IM GOING TO KILL HIM WITH MAGES RUIN. HIS KARMA

My heart is breaking I am. Going to kill I think. Saga is getting a big big dose of mages ruin too I think!!! FROM ME!!!

“SAGA: Maybe if I stall long enough, you’ll lose your sense of taste, too.” FUCK YOU

Im grinning because I know what happens and im waiting. Im waiting. It was so good thru text and Im anticipating… IM ANTICIPATING……

THEREEEEAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA TELESPHORE BLOODSPATTER DRINKING VAMPIRE MOMENT. THE COOLEST FUCKING DEATH IN KINGMAKER TO DATE I WILL NEVER. EVER. GET OVER THIS

Love how good neighbors die. I love death lore. Ughhh I LOVE THE FLOWERS GROWING IN HER WAKE its so COOL. AND WEARING BLOOD LILLIES! and the clock tower chiming in the background of all this AAUAGHHH ITS SO CINEMATIC

“COLETTE: The blood sucking was very…(clears throat) You’re lucky to have him, Eisen.” Love it

“But if you, dear listener, were to visit it for whatever reason, you would still be able to find a patch of strange and otherworldly flora growing where the hotel’s garden once was.” LOVE THIS EVEN MORE.

Oh my god what a great season finale. AAUGHH THE MUSIC AT THE VERY END TOO. Oh I love these more intense episodes… I love the shenanigans the trio can get into, and the plucky weird situations they traverse but like…. These intense episodes rlly bloom them. Oh my god. INSANEEE PERFORMANCES FROM EVERYONE. INSANE WRITING. INSANE EVERYTHING. I may not be mourning Saga (Fuck you saga) but I WILL be mourning Kingmaker until SEASON 4 IS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SEASON FOUR NEEOWW!!!!!!! …. Patience is virtue. Patience is virtue….

I love taking what. 3 days to post things. 4 days to post things. My bad everyone. I will miss you kingmaker (until we meet again, s4)

Everyone has that ship that they don’t really hate per se, they are just really tired to see 99% of the fandom content online being about it and to see other possibly interesting ships being ignored.

They aren’t Notps, they are Enough-tps

.....when the fuck did this become an aesthetic blog?

We’ve created an era of fear in the world. And if we don’t want the world to destroy itself , we need to replace it with an era of peace and kindness.
