Yeah that’s why they all died at 30 because they were so unhealthy but cool
Pretty sure it was the plague not heart disease.
Pretty sure it was the Plague, childbirth, food spoiling, maltreated infections, smallpox, pneumonia, and/or generally unsanitary living conditions (such as dumping sewage and waste in the streets) and not health conditions caused by excess body fat.
Not to mention that the Renaissance standard of female beauty being plumpness and full-figured forms came from the fact that it was a status symbol. Plump, pale, full-figured women were wealthy women who didn’t have to spend their days in hard labor or raising children (or both) and stood a better chance of bearing healthy babies than commoner women did.
Cultural “Oh Snap” I hate it so much when people pull out the “unhealthy” excuse for having a reason to body shame a person.
“Women died young in the 1700s because they were fat” is an amazingly ignorant statement
Unpopular opinion but unless you’re a gay man, don’t use the gay flag. It’s not a “pride flag”, it’s not an “LGBT flag”, it is a GAY flag, for men who love men and only men, and it makes no sense for someone who isn’t a gay man to use it.
this is a really terrible and ignorant take, the original flag was designed to show what brings us together as a community
the pink was removed due to shortage of fabric, and indigo-turquoise was replaced with a royal blue when they wanted the flag to have two equal halves. 30 people with varying identities hand-dyed and hand-stitched the first pride flag together, the only reason it was called the “gay flag” (and the “gay community” and “gay pride” for that matter) is because everything fell under “gay” at the time, including being trans.
if you want to make us a flag then go for it, but don’t go around ignoring the rainbow flag’s history.
“At this point, the pink triangle was the symbol for the gay movement. But it represented a dark chapter in the history of same-sex rights. … We all felt that we needed something that was positive, that celebrated our love.
I thought a gay nation should have a flag too, to proclaim its own idea of power.As a community, both local and international, gay people were in the midst of an upheaval, a battle for equal rights, a shift in status where we were now demanding power, taking it. This was our new revolution: a tribal, individualistic, and collective vision. It deserved a new symbol.
A Rainbow Flag was a conscious choice, natural and necessary. The rainbow came from earliest recorded history as a symbol of hope. In the Book of Genesis, it appeared as proof of a covenant between God and all living creatures. It was also found in Chinese, Egyptian and Native American history. A Rainbow Flag would be our modern alternative to the pink triangle. Now the rioters who claimed their freedom at the Stonewall Bar in 1969 would have their own symbol of liberation.”
do you ever get into one of those moods where your heart aches and longs for something so deeply but you dont know what and your heart is like a stubborn toddler screaming i want it !!!! please give it to me !!!! And you’re desperately like i don’t know what kind of emotionally fulfilling experience to give you at 3 PM on a Wednesday !!!!!!!!!
n*tasha: (kisses bruce and then shoves him off a cliff, hoping that his fear of falling to his death will bring the hulk out)
bruce: (hulks out because he’s terrified of dying)
thor: hey uh…i’d appreciate it if the hulk could help me save my entire civilization. oh…? you’re not comfortable with that?? okay, i understand, there are other ways that you can help us.
bruce: (sees that the situation is next to hopeless without hulk, and changes willingly in order to protect thor and his people)
Hmmmmmmm. It’s almost as if Nat sees Bruce as a tool/ monster while Thor sees Bruce, no matter what, as a friend 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Also: Natasha can “calm” the Hulk just as easily as she can provoke him, effectively giving her complete control over Bruce’s transformations. Which is something not even Bruce can do a good deal of the time. She only allows him to be angry when it benefits her, effectively making him bottle up his anger when it isn’t convenient. Considering that Bruce’s anger issues most definitely stems from being an abuse survivor, this power imbalance becomes even more unhealthy and manipulative.
Thor, however, actually sits down and talks to the Hulk and lets him express how he’s feeling, even trying to recruit him when most others would only consider talking to Bruce. He stops the Hulk when he goes too far or tries to keep him contained when he could threaten their safety, but generally he treats him with respect.
In Natasha’s eyes, Hulk is a monster that has to be controlled, like her. In Thor’s eyes, Hulk is a powerful, yet brash man, like him.
@dracusfyre sent this prompt on my other blog, and I thought I’ll post it here since it’s mild and came out fairly nice!
I’m so excited you are taking prompts! I have a scene in a story I’m writing where Bucky rushes to rescue Tony wearing only his boxers, so I would love to see a picture of Tony in his suit admiring Bucky in his underwear 🙂
