Hey! This is for a bigger project I'm thinking of starting. If anyone could help out, I'd really appreciate it. It's kind of a turn from my usual stuff with Marvel and whatnot, but bare with me and reblog if you've got any friends/mutuals that can help out!

Calling any history/culture/mythology/folklore fans out there.

Basically, I need folklore from all different kinds of cultures, specifically personifications of things, such as Lady Justice from Greek, the Grim Reaper from Dark Ages, and Yin/Yang from Chinese.

I'm interested to hear anything and everything from all continents and countries. African, Asian, Australian, Europian, South American, and North American.

Give me the bad, give me the good, give me the ridiculous, give me the serious, give me all of it! Religious, scientific, nature, whatever!

Thanks to every participant!

You know what I think is interesting? As a decently buff woman, the attitude of men towards me in a gym vs in a martial arts academy is VERY different.

Usually men in a gym will look at me That Way™ when I walk into the weight section and do 2 hours of upper body weight training. A lot are judgemental af, trying to dissect my form even tho I've gone through several personal trainers and my form is usually better than theirs. Just overall bad energy.

The men in my martial arts academy?

Something else entirely.

The guys from muay thai and bjj, especially the ones from wrestling, are always hyping me up and encouraging me. Of course there's some exceptions, but most of these dudes have already been humbled by enough women that they're eons less judgemental.

They respect me enough to not go easy on me but they don't try to genuinely injure me (bad sportsmanship no matter the gender). If something about my form in a technique is off, they will give me constructive criticism instead of being demeaning or just staying silent about it to try to guarantee a win.

A guy last week was like "you really be brawling, you picked me up and rolled my on the ground like an alligator", and another dude today was like "you're getting so strong so fast it's ridiculous." AND I'M LIKE THANK YOU FOR THE GOOD ENERGY, WORKING OUT IS 80% OF MY PERSONALITY SO IM HOPING TO BE GOOD IN AT LEAST THAT😭😭😭💕💕

THAT ARNT F3TIZIED!!!!!#I WANNA SEE A G I R L WEREWOLF THATS INTO “G I R L Y” THINGS!!!!!

RAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#no but fr can we werewolf fans like. actually sit down and reflect on the inherent misogyny of werewolves??? ESPECIALLY IN MEDIA #like. almost EVERY. SINGLE. WEREWOLF. in movies and shows and stuff are always a buff white man with anger and trust issues #and on the rare occasion that there *is* a woman werewolf shes always either over masculine or “weaker” than the “stronger alpha male” were #olf and only seen as a mate. AND shes always “calmer” and “maternal” and “calms the alpha male down🥺🥺”.AND she never has an actually good #werewolf form its always either wolf tail and ears or full wolf. or if it *is* actually a decent werewolf her transformation is offscreen.#like whyyyyyyyyyyyyy are people so scared to make women go ape shit?????? werewolves are NOT pretty creatures!!!! STOP MAKING THEM PRETTY!!#(lmao jk we know why they're so scared hashtag male gaze)#like yes. werewolves ARE pretty but not in the “dog show 30k$ poodle” kind of way i see some people making them(not that that's bad tho)#AND ALSO LIKE. ARE WE JUST GOING TO PRETEND WEREWOLVES LITERALLY WEREN'T MADE FOR WOMEN AND MINORITIES???#like. once a month someone turns into a raging bloodthirsty unstoppable beast driven by the moon and instincts with an insatiable hunger an #need to hide away from people due to them wanting to kill you or fearing you simply because you're a werewolf. they don't know you. they ju #t see you as a creature that might hurt them. constantly being hunted down to be killed simply for existing.#WHAT PART OF THAT SCREAMS: “ah yes. White man.”#IK theres going be people(men and pick mes) that see this post and think “this bitch is overreacting” and tbh idc.the girls who get it get #the girls who dont dont.#anyways shout out to Ginger Snaps trick or treat and every other piece of media or fan piece with disgusting non-f3tiszied woman/poc werewo #i love yall #*smooch smooch*#Werewolves #Werewolf #Lycanthrope #Lycanthropy #Werewolf AU #Yeah.

my source of adrenaline comes from pulling a blank face and lying straight to my friends' faces when they ask me if a character dies

Sitting with my normie friends is so wild because today one of them was like "is there going to be another shirtless man on your phone again?" and I replied "well there's hope yet"

#It's wild how fast they've acclimated to me scrolling through tumblr #Also for context the other day I showed my (not normie) friend the photo of cheng yi in fox spirit matchmaker (the stabby one)#So of course I HAD to show him the buff cheng yi photos for comparison #His reaction was so holy sHIT kind of vibe that every else wanted to see them #So. Lmao #friendship #tumblr #tumblr culture

so many people just use "twink" as a socially acceptable substitution for the word "fag." people will call anybody a twink as long as a man looks gay. just call men gay again.

#'twink' and it's a 6'2 buff hairy guy #'twink' and it's a guy who could smother me with his thighs #it's mostly a problem when straight people do it #people not in gay culture stop calling people twinks challenge <3

Honestly, as a very queer person who's also involved in weightlifting the mere idea of buff Will Byers is just hilarious to me. Because if Will Byers is buff, he probably goes to a gym somewhere. And if he does, then I can guarantee from personal experience that he's probably overheard some cishet brodude saying something really dumb at least once and thought to himself, oh, if you only knew that I was painting a gift for the guy I like just fifteen minutes ago. Like y'all are talking about how him becoming more muscular between s3-s4 is making Mike's brain short-circuit and I'm just thinking to myself, alright what kind of weirdo straight culture stuff has this guy been exposed to and what sarcastic thing did he say to himself in response?

#byler #will byers #buff will byers #i'm aware that this is a very niche and rambly post #but idk i just find the idea of it so funny #because like the culture of weightlifting can be so homophobic sometimes but in such a weirdly hilarious way #and so I honestly just wonder sometimes how the hell Will would react to it #like what would he think?#anyways ramble over lol

The fact that 14 has a really big world with a lot of potential stories and concepts to build on and yet DT is basically just "let's go to fantasy Latin America to colonize-- I mean enforce capitalism on them with mining and looting featuring a joke class and ninja for people who think hating naruto is a personality trait" is really just putting me off the series rn.

#girlbob.txt #like we couldve done things like explore meracydia and the effects the allagan war had on their culture #and explored things like time magic (inspired by a character from the shb raids) and blood magic #or even just not shunted an entire expac idea into the middling post ew patches?#but who has time to care about things like narrative quality when there's men to obsess over #and women to ignore after lying about how buff they are

More media honestly needs to push back against our beauty standards and create new ones, honestly. Especially in science fiction and fantasy! You can do literally anything here, go nuts!

#remember that throwaway line in ME3 where it turned out that the Asari may have been using mind alteration to appear to each race as their #beauty standard? that was such a cool idea #but also generally even different cultures on our own planet used to have different ideas before globalisation #you’re telling me that these other places all want skinny doll faced women and buff men?

The me watching movies 6-9 months after they came out because while I'm interested in movies I'm not interested in movie theaters industrial complex

#you know I was calling myself not interested in movies but after observing the complete lack of any film culture on this website via polls #i think I am actually a borderline movie buff

i get it not everyone can be a history buff but this is the exact same shit as people never having heard of the troubles once in their life or not realizing how bad the aids crisis was. like this was not even close to that long ago ask your fucking parents this is insane this is like if someone in 2040 went "wait donald trump was president? the guy from the apprentice?"

#like i didnt know abt the reagan assassination being over jodie foster in taxi driver bc im a history buff #i knew that fact because. i pay attention. to the world and country and culture that i live in. and its kind of impossible to miss
