oh my god, they are making a queen charlotte bridgerton show. and like... why? why can't we just have actual biopic. why can't we have a biopic that shows that this was a woman who didn't take sugar in her tea to support abolition, but was part of an institution that fundamentally profited from slavery? why can't we talk about the joyful young woman who was forced to obey her rigid husband's rules, have 15 children, and could be both kind and cruel. just make a fantasy show. just. make. a. fantasy. show. i am tired.

#netflix queen charlotte #anti-bridgerton #i hate it #history is not simple #history is a hot mess #this is literally the era of william wilberforce #ottobah cugoano #and olaudah equiano #the sons of africa society #but we're not going to talk about abolition #we're just going to pretend that a girl in a pretty dress changed things overnight because magic #thanks netflix #as if persuasion wasn't bad enough

here’s a lil story I found about how elvis discovered his love for a certain something

from the book “Rhythm Oil” published in 1991

the original article was written in 1967 by the legend Stanley Booth and published in 1968 with the story about Natalie and Elvis cut by the publisher (lame for that)

#elvis presley #elvisaaronpresley #natalie wood #50s #im an absolute mess with how hot this is #the fact that he threw up from hearing about it #and then immediately went and tried it #AND LOVED IT?!#natalie girl how did it feel to live my dream #now the story lamar fike told about natalie and elvis makes sense lmao #iykyk #I love him #cybill shepard crying rn #maybe he just didn’t want to eat yours sis 🤧#elvis history #elvis book excerpts

waaait a minute... you love History 4: Close to you? you don't mind the brothers r*pe or?? or did you talk about it somewhere? need an explanation.

Anon, I talk about it everywhere because

I LOVE HISTORY 4: CLOSE TO YOU!

I love ALL of it! Every part.

❤❤❤ LOVE! ❤❤❤

I have told y'all twenty million times that I have trash taste, and my love for this show is a prime example because, for me, this hot mess express is delicious.

So yes, I don't mind the stepbrothers plot.

Which includes the sexual assault.

But I also watched the original Addicted and would've probably loved it if it hadn't been censored and prematurely ended due to China's laws.

Because I appreciate when shows own up to what is being depicted on the screen. HIStory 4 never shied away from the awfulness of the act. That was the entire point of Yong Jie doing it! And the show didn't try to spin it as a good thing.

Which lead us into Mu Ren's sexual assault and the main conflict of the show.

The show told us several times that Yong Jie was batshit crazy mostly when it came to Xing Si. The show did not try to make Yong Jie a good person. He fucked up and got slapped for it, several times. But Xing Si and Yong Jie's entire relationship was FUCKED UP! And the show told us that from the very beginning.

And that's why I don't mind it. We are introduced to Yong Jie as a stalker who attacked Mu Ren for being too close to Xing Si. Then Li Cheng beat him the fuck up for it.

We knew he was bad. The show never tried to tell us otherwise. And that's why I like the show.

It was an honest hot ass mess.

And it committed to the bit.

#history 4: close to you #Xing Si x Yong Jie #I have trash taste #I have told y'all this #because I am an honest hot ass mess

Sometimes I remember that Jamil is 17 years old and has had a job looking after Kalim basically 24/7 for years, his childhood spent making sure this other child stays alive and safe from assassination attemps while also managing their mundane things. And while I refuse to believe there weren't adults involved while Kalim lived in the Asim household, that is still absolutely an undue pressure to place onto a child - not to mention the whole child labor aspect of it.

And every time I dwell on it I'm just all

But also I want to punch every single adult involved who decided that this was a totally good and a normal idea and there's nothing wrong whatsoever with this arrangement.

#twisted wonderland #jamil viper #I am seething #and shaking #also why are there so many parallels to Shizuki here and why do I keep on being drawn to this kinda characters?#surely one could write a responsible reliable character without heaping on a servant role #and some complicated relationships and history #anyway if Jamil ever wants to go on his villain arc (again) I'll be the first in line to be his right-hand henchperson #just. man #be free #make a mess #scheme like no one's got anything to lose and you've got everything to gain #he deserves it and I'd love to see it #(and to be completely honest I'd find it kinda hot probably)#(so he's free to lure me into his plans whenever I'll dive right in)#so yeah basically ever since I read Scarabia's book Jamil's definitely been one of the blorbos in rotation

I picked up a very TLC Felicity today and amongst her possessions was a homework folder.

Guess what her homework was?

American History!

Usually I try to work my home hospital magic but I think this girl needs a professional’s help.

Oh well, as I like to say, no doll left behind.

#american girl #pleasant company #felicity merriman #tlc #doll hospital #American history #hot mess #homework

not going to lie, i thought the first few episodes were dumb as hell--it felt very much like a poor attempt at something succession-esque with whatever wildly decontextualized poe references they could find the slightest justifications for unconvincingly stapled over the top. now on episode 6 the show's grown on me a bit, maybe because i've stopped trying to care about the overarching story and just started taking each episode as an entry in an extremely kitschy horror Lite™ anthology series? and tbh even calling it horror Lite™ is being generous, because a lot of the usual flanaganverse scare tactics just aren't effective anymore this many series later

#the fall of the house of usher spoilers #there are little interesting bits here and there #auguste and roderick's complicated history #juno and tamerlane's moment of understanding #t'nia miller's performance in general #otherwise it's still kind of a hot mess of a show #though i think one that gets its shit together better towards the end #if nothing else flanagan must create a good working environment because he keeps getting these really fucken good actors to come back

There is something deeply flawed and just wrong with s4 of the harley quinn show and im like. Trying to make a concise point about it but its really difficult to not make this a 20 min rant

#Shitpost #im trying to tldr this but i cant #talked to my sister for like an hour about it lol #the MAIN issue is that its trying to be vbros in a universe that doesnt WORK as vbros #like. A crux of vbros is that. 1. It isnt a superhero genre focused story. It is a boy adventurer hanna barbara cartoon spinoff #Vbros is Johnny Quest before it is superhero genre #And 2. In vbros the paperwork and systems of arching are developed slowly AND inherently work. Because in vbros THE VILLAINS AND HEROES.#ARE. TO A DEGREE. PLAYING A GAME. a ridiculous pretend where sometimes people die and like. If anyone takes it too seriously they are seen #as psychopaths that need to be put down. Etc #the harley quinn show is trying to have the same universe while using the dc universe which has over 80 years of history #and established characters. And it is NOT working #like on a fundamental thematic level #S 1-2 werent that strong. S3 was the best so far. S4 is hot garbage though its such a fucking mess #Another factor is that this show doesnt treat its characters with respect which leads to like #there is almost no engaging secondary cast. It doesnt use its characters well #because it isnt taking them seriously #the only character other than harley and ivy who is taken seriously is batgirl #So a show full of characters has 2 main characters and 1 secondary one #and like. Thats SUCH a terrible design #also the forced joke writing is a mess #and the 'mystery' of this season just shit the bed so hard in the ep that just came out #legitmately making this entire season pointless and. Sort of miserable to watch tbh?#just. Wow. I am amazed at how theyre using so many moving parts and literally none of them are fitting together #even the harlivy feels so forced and nonexistant this season #like their chemistry fucking died #And harleys arc is just so fucking shit this season. Like. Wow it shit the bed hard #i was giving it a chance but this most recent ep. Wow. It was so bad.#I dont think the season can be fixed now

I ended up down a rabbit hole and digging for more information about the whole situation with Flowerfell and the more I dig, the more I realize that--wow, yeah, no, Sanei (I know how to spell their name right now!) absolutely was a piece of hot garbage who's bitter and controlling nature lead tot he demise of their own AU.

Maybe I'll make a proper post about it... Because tbh like. Do you know how annoyed and salty I am over the misinformation? Because I'm still annoyed and salty at the misinformation.

#flowerfell #again #No I will NOT shut up about it I'm too salty that antis fucking rewrote history and I even started to believe it a bit #like I am LITERALLY looking at the hot garbage of a mess this incident was #and it's LITERALLY Sanei was being a control freak about people who were RPing as Flowerfell muses and writing head canons they didn't agre #And of course the fucking Anti-kin shit is EVERYWHERE #Oh my god. The anti-kin shit.#The anti-kin shit is honestly disgusting and despicable like what the FUCK were these people thinking #Yeah I'm starting to remember now why the RPC in Undertale just fucking LAUGHED at Sanei when this shit went down because they kind of #like #deserved to be laughed at for how horrible and petty they were being #I feel SO BAD for the kins and RP muns like #my heart goes out to you folks who were so hurt by these horrible people #Jesus christ

hehe found my first writing for astoria 🥰

#iv. tilting pretty sharply bitchward. ( marianning )#(i'm actually. VERY proud of this.)#(this is from july 24th 2012 and i made her blog the following day)#(genuinely i am so proud of the work i've done on her. i'm not willing to pretend to be modest abt this.)#(i took a character with a handful of notes as to her most basic facts: name! age! husband's name! family status! sister's name!)#(and i reverse engineered this hot mess whomst i love more than anything)#(she proved so radically different than what was made canon a few years later that i never felt any discomfort with calling her mine)#(because she WAS mine. from day one she was mine. and i've built her history w other writing partners over the years)#(but what's here now? it's mine. it's wholly mine. i made her & i shaped her. i'm so proud of her.)#(she made me feel like a person again when i didn't feel that way and hadn't for a long time)#(she made me feel creative again)#(she made me think i could actually do this and you know what?)#(i was right for it)#(honest to god this horrible little beast of a woman is the best thing that's ever happened to me and i made her!)#(also high five @ me this is good fucking writing esp considering that i was 19 and so depressed i didn't know who i was half the time)

I think if a tumblr user says anything about history they should include Chicago style citations in the post. This is also true for other areas of study but I don't really know much about those so I only get filled with a blind rage when history posts are wrong. So that's what we need to fix first. For me.

#This is also true of my own posts and it's literally why #I try to only put history stuff in the tags instead of in proper posts #(so if I am wrong misinformation doesn't spread) and when I do I try to cite where I hot my information from #As best I can without doxing myself #Ie most of my information about maritime history comes from my job not classes so I only say 'I work at a history museum'#Not the specific museum I got that information from because that's not safe imo #Otherwise I'll say 'I got this from class' or 'I got this from a research projim working on' or a documentary or a book or etc etc #And if I say something like that you can always send an ask or a dm and I'll give you my sources!#But I don't include that stuff in actual posts because I'm at a weird point in my education #Where I'm technically trusted as a source of information for some people (working at the museum) but I still don't have my bachelors let #Alone the masters so I really don't feel comfortable positioning myself as an expert because I'm certainly not one #Which is why it makes me so frustrated when people who obviously have way less training than me (which is difficult! Like I said I won't #Even finish undergrad until this spring!) position themselves as experts and then just fucking #Lie about a field I care deeply about #Like on top of everything else I'm going into public history so it's about to be my job to clean up your mess. What the hell dude #This isn't about any specific post or person just the general trend of misinformation on this site #There is worse misinformation I know but I also truly believe that know history is necessary to making informed decisions about the present #And when you're mistaken about history or even worse completely rewriting it... That's bad #General rule of thumb if a history 'fact' 100%#Reflects your world view with no issues it's probably propaganda or at least not the whole story. With very few exceptions.#To quote Oscar Wilde 'the truth is rarely pure and never simple'#I made a lot of typos here don't worry about it. You get it.

I love Hit Bite Love. *long post*

In the most unironic way, I'm intrigued by this scorching hot mess. The subtitles are nonsense. The product placements are wild. The plots are questionable. However, episode zero proved that this crew did its homework and aced Kink 101, which is why I love it! It's cringe, but it's cringe with a heart.

We have the A+ plot with Burger and King (who were missing this week), but we also have Lil' Dom Daddy Masochist, Mateo, who is doing it the best I've seen. Mateo talked about puppy play, blade play, needle play, wax play, bondage, impact play, consent, and AFTERCARE! And he mentioned that play does not equal sex. And AND he gently explains to Shogun what is happening. And AND AND he isn't ashamed of his kinks.

They lost the key which is the introduction lesson in Kink 101 and resulted in them ending up in the ER where King's mom lectured them about being safe, but Mateo has got the spirit. Also, I loved that when Mateo hung up the phone and announced his mother was coming over, Shogun merely told him that he needed to clean his room.

I thought Mateo was going to regret picking Shogun as a playmate after Shogun compared Mateo's toys to a story about a queen and a princess.

And I think even Mateo thought twice about it.

But a product placement quota had to be met, so Mateo decided to continue with the play date and taught Shogun the importance of aftercare. He wasn't expecting Shogun to reciprocate. He simply wanted to value Shogun and care for him like a good Lil' Dom Dom.

Plus he reminds Shogun to be kind to himself. Ken was emotionally abusive to Shogun, and here we have Lil' Dom Daddy Masochist telling Shogun that he is special, and that Shogun should believe it as well.

Mateo bought every instrument Shogun wanted. He didn't get the teacher, but that wasn't the deal, so even though this started strange, it's equally beneficial, and the limits can always be negotiated. Shogun hears how other playmates are, which helps him see how compatible he is with Mateo. Shogun doesn't have to role play or clean as punishment. Mateo just tells him he is pretty and buys him things in exchange for him tying Mateo up and gagging him. That's a win in my book!

Also, Mateo has friends.

He is aware of what is going on (that comment about Saint already having an extension of himself around 24/7 = Hida), but listens to them rather than judges.

And he helped Hida remain the constant barrier between Saint and his girlfriend for at least six more years. What a trifling bitch Hida is. Don't change, babygirl.

I like the objectionable parts (Hida x Saint) of this show as much as I like the sweet ones (Burger x King).

But I really like this kinkster!

M is for Mateo Masochist

#hit bite love #episode 3 #I really love this show #Mateo is my favorite #King is my second favorite #And Hida is my third favorite #I didn't love HIStory 4 for only one of the couples #No‚ I liked BOTH couples #I love the questionable plots #I love mess #And this show is a strategic hot mess

8 Shows To Get To Know Me

thanks for tagging me @stephmcx!! I'm always so surprised when people tag me in these things 🥹🥹

8 of my favorite shows are M*A*S*H, Twin Peaks, Dynasty, Seven Deadly Sins, Neon Genesis Evangelion, The Witcher, Hawaii Five-0, and Gorl World YouTube Drama

you can read my unhinged ramblings below the cut ♥️♥️

M*A*S*H: this show was my absolute favorite in high school, and it took me so long to watch because I had to rely on re-runs. If I was lucky, I would catch 2 episodes Monday-Thursday and 1-2 episodes on Saturday 12-2am. The series finale completely destroyed me to the point that I have a hard time finishing any TV show these days.

Twin Peaks: yet another show where the then series finale really stuck with me until we got The Return finale which also really stuck with me. Special Agent Dale Cooper remains one of my all-time favorite characters. His optimism and work ethic are inspirational.

Dynasty: y'all haven't lived until you watch an 80's soap opera. The drama and wardrobe are phenomenal. Some of the craziest shit I've ever seen was in Dynasty season 2 and 3. The plot points to get to this clip... incredible.

Seven Deadly Sins: this is the first anime I really got into, and it changed my life. Ban was my first husbando, and the rest is history. The series finally ended in two parts last year, and I kinda wish the second part never happened. It's sad that the series was dropped from the original animation studio, so later seasons do not have great animation. It's a fun ride! Just don't want the second half of the last season.

Neon Genesis Evangelion: a lot of my favorite shows have endings that just rocked my world, and boy howdy is Evangelion one of them. At the end of the anime, I was very hopeful, but I was devastated after finishing End of Evangelion. Two endings that are supposed to be the same but different. I am Shinji. Shinji is me. I first watched this show in 2019 and then rewatched in 2021, and it hit different in the midst of a pandemic and after the Texas 2021 Winter Storm. Excited to rewatch again this year!

The Witcher: while I prefer the video games now, the show is so good that I ended up binging the first season in 1 day with a friend of mine and then I bought Witcher 3 on my PS4 the next day. The rest is history. I love Geralt of Rivia so much. He is my special traumatized old man with a praise kink who has seen some shit boy.

Hawaii Five-0: this is not a show, it is a gay fever dream. I started watching this show while visiting my grandmother last year because she had crime show re-runs on constantly, and I always hoped that Hawaii Five-0 would come on. I am continually amazed by how close Steve and Danny are that I sometimes don't believe it's a real show. How did they get away with it all and still not make McDanno canon? They lived together, went to couple's counseling, shared the same bed, cuddled on the couch, DANNY TOLD STEVE TO PICK A BASE. gay gay homosexual gay.

Gorl World YouTube Drama: I fell into Gorl World about 2 years ago, boy howdy I can't stop watching. I don't enjoy reality television, but I sure as fuck am down to watch hours uponhours of coverage on everything that goes down with Foodie Beauty, ALR, Nikocado Avocado, and others. FB in particular bc her life is so buckwild that it can't be real. i miss the nashie era. long live Queen BBJ ♥️♥️

#about me #tv shows i love #don't judge me for how much i follow foodie beauty drama #that woman is a hot mess #we're all wondering if she has covid or got MERS from hugging a camel on the side of the road #she recently uprooted her whole life to live in kuwait with a man who doesn't love her and her marriage to him isn't real/legal #i think this is all an elaborate plot on FB's part to get her ex back #the same ex who dated her publicly for 5 days and also smoked crack/meth live on youtube #which like how did that not get taken down from youtube #we still don't know #anyway #don't judge me #or my unhinged youtube watch history

So much of what people call “feminism” is actually just women jealously competing with each other and women lashing out in insecurity at each other… and then trying to blame men for it.

You know, like women do anyway with or without feminism.

#Feminism #Radical feminism #radfem #libfem #The root of all problems whether it’s from male or female is ppl not being able to own up to their instincts #seeking to rationalize their ugly base animal selves in law or whatever and justify it all as Right and Good #women seem unable to own up to their instinct to be jealous and catty and vile and competitive with other women #so many examples of this ID be here all day but the abortion debate is the best example #women are the most opinionated on this topic and many are opinionated against abortion #a tradfem blog who was generally retarded said one good thing #about the fallacy that women are a class who have some sort of solidarity with each other.#history proves time and time again that women have warring opposing opinions… you know… just like men do #only diff is we war with each other behind the proxy of men #””men”” also includes the legal system and government (male controlled structures)#which radfem lesbians always turn to and expect to solve their problems even tho they’ve supposedly denounced men #lol feminism is a hot mess of female denial and cattiness and bitchery and any self respecting woman would want no part in any of it.#Don’t even get me started on how it was funded and popularized by the most misogynistic entity of all time #(the Illuminati)
