Sleeping Beauty AU where the princess was born on a Leap Day, so when the evil fairy curses her to prick her finger “on her 16th birthday”, her family realizes that’s not the same thing as her 16th year of life and she’ll actually be in her 60′s when it happens.

Thanks for the question, Anon!
I got my lobes pierced when I was 12, so elementary school. I added more over the years when I was in high school and then took those out, but got my conch pierced when I was 27. So I have my lobes and conch currently.

statements that should be able to coexist about makeup culture, but for some reason most people seem to think they have to argue at length with some to support others:
no one should have to wear makeup if they don't want to, including by social pressure and coercion
anyone should be allowed to wear makeup if they want to, and systemic problems are not the fault of individuals
factually, people who are read as women have disadvantages in the workplace if they don't wear makeup, and many will have to learn the art of using makeup as a professional skill
this is bad
factually, people who are read as women have similar social disadvantages if they don't wear makeup
this is also bad
people who are conventionally attractive are a privilege group and may not notice these disadvantages when they go without makeup; these disadvantages won't be as severe for them as for many other people
it's not always easy to tell when someone is wearing makeup. women who are attractive enough are often assumed to be wearing makeup and therefore accessing the privileges of wearing makeup even when they aren't wearing any
there are many people who are actively discouraged from wearing makeup, or even harmed if they wear makeup
given that wearing makeup is often professionally and/or socially necessary, the lack of access to makeup that is effective and matches current standards of grooming is a serious issue of inequality and important to discuss
makeup culture is not the fault of teenagers. no systemic problem is ever the fault of teenagers. they are the least helpful group to discuss when dealing with structural problems
makeup is a feminine object in modern western society and when it's degraded it's usually degraded using language heavy in misogyny. similarly, people who use a lot of makeup or care about makeup a lot are usually degraded using language heavy in misogyny. it's important to take care not to use misogyny to degrade people when talking about any issues, but especially feminist issues
individual people are not at fault for structural problems, and speaking to them as if they are causing the problems personally is unhelpful and unkind
individual people are not at fault for structural problems, and acting as if enough individuals making a personal choice would somehow fix the structural problem is counterproductive and psychologically harmful
the people pushing an expectation of makeup in professional environments are management. management is biased in favor of men over women. women in management have less negotiating power due to structural sexism, and it is not uniquely or more heavily their fault than the men that expectations of makeup in the workplace exist
using makeup is a complicated skill that people spend a long time learning, and should not be considered "easy" or "natural". people who apply makeup professionally are skilled workers and it's reasonable to consider them artists
many people who do not have a professional certification or job regarding makeup can apply it to an equally expert degree. this should also be considered a notable skill
people trying to teach a difficult skill are not the enemy. there is nothing wrong with trying to teach a skill
people trying to learn a difficult skill, especially one required for professional or social interaction, are not the enemy. there is nothing wrong with trying to learn a skill
the root of makeup culture is in aesthetic expectations and judgements. in order not to judge people on their use of makeup, it's important not to consider beautiful people worth more than ugly people, or clean people worth more than dirty or unkempt people. therefore, it's important to stop using ugly or dirty as insults, especially when talking about unrelated topics
tiktok is not the root of misogyny. it's just a platform. people use it to post all sorts of different ideological positions that reflect the diversity of opinions in their own societies

probably a huge reach but I do wonder if percy’s refusal to explain his plans to anyone was influenced by him telling bianca his plan and then her getting herself killed trying to execute it

Happy birthday, Untamed Bruised fruit, please!
a continuation of 1 2 3 4 5
Wen Qing doesn't know why she bothers to doubt him, other than that if someone doesn't then he'll stop being at all tethered to reality.
Everyone else arrives, and seeing Nie Mingjue in her village is enough to send her blood pressure up, but Nie Huaisang seems to have leashed his brother for at least one evening, and is fluttering around everyone and loudly complimenting the architecture. Really, the only attendants besides Jiang Yanli and Jin Zixuan who don't get her hackles up are Song Lan and Xiao Xingchen, who who calls her niece with spark of humor she didn't know he had.
The Lan arrival sends everyone into a tizzy. A-Yuan attaches himself to Lan Wangji, who doesn't seem to mind, and he and Wuxian fall instantly into conversation, like they hadn't spent their teen years at each other's throats and most of the war not much better. Wuxian really can make friends with anyone.
Then, just as he predicted, the Jiang are the last to arrive.
Jiang Cheng appears up the lit path, what looks like almost the whole Jiang clan behind him and not doing a very good job to contain their excitement - even from here she can whispers about Senior Brother Wei, despite the very public break Wuxian was supposed to have from their clan.
Wuxian is holding Suyin when Jiang Chen storms up to him. Everyone goes quiet, watching, as lightning arcs up his hand and he sets his face into a scowl that had been the last thing a lot of people had seen on the battlefield.
Wuxian is so still, not even breathing, because Jiang Cheng has always been the one who could break him and the one he never thought would, but the war changed a lot of things.
"Well?" Jiang Cheng snaps.
Wuxian stares.
He holds out his impatiently, still what that same scowl.
Wuxian grins, carefully placing their daughter in Jiang Cheng hands, who holds her easily and competently, probably due to his experience with Jin Ling.
Jiang Cheng looks down at his niece and his face softens. When he looks back up at Wuxian, the sneer isn't nearly as believable. "Well, it looks like you finally managed to do something right."
"Hey!" Wuxian shouts, crossing his arms and pouting, and the rest of Jiang are surging forward, pushing forward to get a look at Suyin, and Wen Qing sighs and goes to find Jin Zixuan.
Maybe he has tips on dealing with in-laws.

Achilles hangs his head in his hands. Patroclus's hand on his knee is pretty much the only thing preventing him from going after Zagreus spear first.
Not that it would do him much good. Even before this, before knowing this, Zagreus has been winning against his father for decades. There are rumors of Hades throwing those fights. Achilles can only assume that those rumors are spread by spirits who have never met him.
"Don't you think you're being a little dramatic about this?" Zagreus complains.
He's so close. Achilles could get a few good hits in. It would at least make him feel better.
"He is rarely not dramatic when presented with the opportunity," Patroclus says, voice wry and almost warm and something Achilles never thought he'd hear again.
"Probably why he and Prince get along so well," Sisyphus says, offhand, and he hears what he assumes is Eurydice hitting him.
Zagreus makes the strangest friends.
"What were you thinking?" he demands, finally lifting his head.
Zagreus scrunches his nose and scratches the back of his head. Sun streams in through the windows of the large palace, everything bright and open and nothing the House.
How is there sun down here?
He's certain he hasn't said anything out loud, but Patroclus says, "Chaos created it after they lost a bet with Zagreus."
If anything, his headache gets worse. He can barely enjoy the fact that even after all the time apart, Patroclus knows him just as well. "Chaos is involved in this too?"
Chaos, who's sunk into the depths of the underworld and hasn't ventured out for anyone or anything. Not even when Persephone left. Not even for Nyx.
"They're around," Zagreus says vaguely. "You can use Darkness for a lot of things, you know? We fish together sometimes too. Well, I fish, and they watch me. I think they get bored."
"And you're certainly not boring," Sisyphus says. Eurydice doesn't hit him this time.
Achilles repeats, "What were you thinking?"
"Well," he says, then shrugs. "Why do people keep thinking I planned this? It just sort of happened. I wasn't really thinking."
That Achilles has no trouble believing.

If Jiang Cheng is captured or killed, they'll kill Madame Yu and Uncle Jiang and Jiang Cheng. Jiang Yanli is an heir, but not one that can lead their people into battle, and they won’t bother keeping hostages for her benefit.
Wei Wuxian could do it – but with Jiang Cheng gone, she loses her place in the clan, she can't become the wife of their future sect leader if he’s dead. She’s the logical one to lose.
Jiang Cheng is going to kill her. But they’re getting too close to the inn.
She pays a boy to take the medicine and a note back to them in an hour’s time, then whistles, clear and bright cutting through the crowd. The Wen soldiers look at her and she’s hungry and tired but this is her clan’s life on the line here, her sister’s, her fiance’s. “Looking for me?”
There’ a moment of stillness then they’re surging forward and she’s running and they’re chasing and she’s very, very good but they’re fresh. She needs to go someplace they won’t follow.
They’re not too far from Yiling, she thinks.
~
Jiang Cheng is going to kill her.
He wants to go after her, but he doesn’t even know where she is, and that would mean leaving A-jie defenseless on her own, which he can’t do, and Wei Wuxian would never forgive him for doing anyway.
They set a punishing pace to Jin territory, which is where the disciples were instructed to meet up with them. A bit of gamble, but Wei Wuxian had pointed out that Jin Guangshan would likely be playing both sides of the war to his advantage, which is as close to neutral territory as they were going to get.
Once he delivers A-jie to the rest of their disciples, he can leave them to protect her and can leave her to organize them and he can go after Wei Wuxian. He thinks that three hostages is probably one too many – two too many, really, and he wonders how long it will be before his mother’s mouth gets her killed. If they do put her and Wei Wuxian together, that would move up that timetable exponentially.
Part of him is scared Wei Wuxian’s already dead. The rest of him knows better.
If she were dead, the Wen would be flaunting and bragging about. If they’d killed her, they’d be using it to draw him out, but so far there’s been nothing.
Of course, she ruins his plans like always because just when he’s getting ready to go out searching, she appears in the camp and grabs his shoulders and says, “You’ll never guess what I figured out!”
She’s been missing for almost three weeks and just as soon as he feels like he can breathe again he’s going to strangle her. “You!” he hisses and then he’s grabbing her, yanking her into his chest and holding her so tightly that she probably can’t breathe either, although for a different reason.
She’s hugging him back just as tightly, which makes him feel slightly less like he’s losing his mind. He pulls back and she’s wearing robes that she definitely stole and – “Why do you have a flute?”
Wei Wuxian beams, rocking back on her heels.
Most of Jiang Cheng’s relief drains to wariness.
That expression on her face has never meant anything good.

I am once again pondering the fact that Marty McFly is just such a fantastic character. Like, especially when you look at other male protagonists in the 80s, they all follow a similar trend. A lot are uber cool and suave, with the added side effect of also being a jerk. Many are popular jocks or whatever. Big flirts. Edgy and troubled or sleazy, etc.
And Marty is sort of in his own category entirely. He's cool, but he's not? He skateboards and kills it on guitar but has 2 whole friends--his girlfriend and a disgraced scientist--and crippling self-doubt and can't go a day without falling down or tripping over his own feet or nearly being killed by a car.
He's polite. He's respectful. Won't let anyone mess with the people he loves and doesn't let a moment pass by where he can thank somebody or apologize for a wrongdoing. (seriously, Marty has beautiful manners. Like, it is quite noticeable how often he says, "please," "thank you," "excuse me," or "sorry".)
His emotions are all SO BIG and he doesn't hold back on them. He gets all animated when he's excited and yells when he's scared and cries when he's sad and pulls his friend into big ol' hugs.
He literally never knows what is going on. Marty exists in the constant state of confusion. Between asking Doc to "wait a minute" every other sentence and his ever-changing, scattered thoughts, Marty is just out there trying to survive. Just slow it down, alright? He's a smart guy, but he's also got elevator music playing in his head. Really really fast elevator music.
Time means nothing to him. His watch is broken. He's racking up tardies like it's nobody's business. Stopping by the garage to look for Doc and play some guitar when he should be at school. He's got to get out of that stupid suit RIGHT THIS INSTANT even though he's got one shot at the lightning strike at the clock tower.
Marty just. Does things. There is zero impulse control. A synapse fires and Marty's brain goes "!!!" and that's that. Punch the bully who's twice your size, buy that sports almanac, just Walk Away while Doc is talking to you. Buy that sweet leather jacket. Ignore ALL instructions you're given! Marty, you need constant supervision and I love you for that.
He's just. Marty is the most character. Look at him.

Is George McFly’s son ok? I just went to one of his book signings and his son was double taking every time he saw the line. Does he not know who his dad is?
❤️ match-made-in-sp4ce
yeah lol Marty goes to my school and he’s always like that. He once blew off an invitation to get milkshakes at the diner after school bc he “couldn’t afford that”. Like honey your dad is a millionaire, you’re not fooling anyone.

Apparently renowned Sci-fi author George McFly, is suing Lucasfilms for use of the name Darth Vader in the Star Wars trilogy (1977-1981). The author first coined the name in his first book Warnings from the Stars, published 1975.
