Women w hairy armpits will always be more punk rock than any black lipstick platform boot wearer
remember, it’s imperative to turn your aesthetic preferences into moral ones. you can’t just dislike neutral colors, or glass-and-steel skyscrapers, or flat design, they have to be symbols of neoliberal capitalism in decay. it’s incredibly important that you make sure everybody knows that the only reason anyone could like the things you don’t like is that they’re an empty shell of a person.
Recent thoughts. I wish i had a photo, but the oncoming lane faces the booth and i haven’t been able to snap one while driving. Texas is wild.

The internet is a beautiful place ♡
The commercial visibility of Pride over the past few years has often excluded the voices of those most marginalized.

Society if Fabian’s fear was taken seriously in the aftermath of the nightmare forest
idk i feel like when you’re a bunch of teenagers faced with everything the rest of the bad kids were, it makes sense that you wouldn’t necessarily put a ton of importance on your friend being chased by a funny joke one of you made a year ago and some cartoonishly ridiculous-sounding guy you’d never even seen
it was made very clear, i think, that fabian’s nightmare forest section was intentionally less heavy/often outright comical. there was no serious dilemma posed to him, there was no bigger fear to have not been taken seriously- he’d already faced his biggest fears and insecurities.
especially since, with what was said in the video where brennan and lou fully statted chungledown out, cassandra wasn’t joking- it really was just the sexy rat that was the fear.
brennan made the choice where, instead of trying to heighten on everything fabian had already gone through, to take a hard left and give some comedic relief.
tldr; It’s Not That Deep
Feminists with no class consciousness are rly like “Poor Marie Antoinette she was a victim of child trafficking, sold as a 14 year old little girl to a 15 year gross old man she had never met, they didn’t let her keep anything she brought from one palace while moving to another palace, she was an immigrant struggling in the highest position a woman could take in a foreign country, the rich ladies at court were so mean to her she had no choice but to LARP as a milkmaid in her special cottage in her palace to cope, she was a teenage queen for 20 years when the Revolution broke out, the mean revolutionaries accused her of SA'ing her son, ok it was one guy who I refuse to learn the name of who was immediately booed by everyone else in the court but let’s blame it on the revolutionaries as a whole because they were so mean-”
Louis XVI….mistress? Hated Marie???
WHAT IS GOING ON, WHERE ARE YOU GETTING YOUR HISTORY FROM 😭
He was one of the few people who DIDN’T hate her and was very influenced by her (the flight as far as Varennes wouldn’t have happened if not for Marie pushing so hard for it) so actually if she were pro-Revolution it absolutely would’ve made a difference
There’s this idea rooted in sexism that women throughout history are blameless.
This is often to excuse them for the bad things that happened regardless of their position of power, as seen in Marie Antoinette.
It can also be seen in the US during slavery where women are often ignored when it comes to their role in slavery. With women tending to own large numbers of enslaved people, with them often being part of their dowry. But they are only portrayed as southern damsels, never fully addressing their role in perpetuating the system.
Women throughout history were rarely objects with no self possession or agency, and while their rights and freedom was much more limited than it is today in many countries, this does not excuse the wrongs they committed or stood by.
It would be like excusing Carolyn Bryant’s role in Emmett Till’s murder as she was only a young woman. Rather than acknowledging she knew what she was doing and never viewed her actions nor their results as wrong.
You’re exactly right. The woobification of Marie Antoinette is the epitome of white bourgeois feminism and that’s why her stans annoy me so much. They don’t realize they’re parroting royalist propaganda spread after the Bourbon restoration and would rather project onto this imagined OC of a sad rich girl being tugged along by events she had no control over instead of looking into the REAL Marie, who had more agency and power than any other woman in France and chose to use it against the working class women furious at her for resisting progressive reforms.
Some have misinterpreted this post as “no one should sympathize with Marie Antoinette ever.” No, I was calling out how Marie apologists garner sympathy for her at the expense of the truth. They frame facts in deceptive ways to make people think she was some kind of traumatized teenager during the Revolution, with the implication that the revolutionaries were monsters for going after her.
I know that the historical tendency to vilify women more than men creates this urge to rehabilitate women who went down with the worst reputations, but we do actually have to be considerate with our choices and be conscious of power dynamics other than gender. Marie Antoinette didn’t bankrupt France, but she wasn’t a blameless victim either. Olympe de Gouges had some iconic quotes but…doesn’t really deserve that much glorification either when she was a Girondin supporter? Charlotte Corday had NERVE but ultimately her assassination of Marat was an extremely foolish tactical decision and accelerated the purge of the very Girondins she was trying to save.
Of this era, the women whose vilification is ACTUALLY most undeserved are the working class women themselves, like Pauline Leon, Claire Lacombe, and Simone Evrard, who were the real backbone of the Revolution but ended up being branded as mad “harpies,” mindless mobs, and dismissed by even the Left intellectuals. We know very little about them as individuals because they weren’t the ones who wrote or spawned essays after essays of public discourse, so unfortunately we can’t make movies and TV shows about them on par with the volume that Marie Antoinette gets, but we can at least do better than whitewashing their oppressors.
(And I want to say once again that I am NOT putting more blame on Marie than Louis. There just aren’t enough people ignorant enough to stan Louis XVI to annoy me into making posts like this about him.)
This is still one of my absolute favorite bits from s1 fantasy high
