WHY DOES EVERYONE ASSUME THOR DOESN’T KNOW WHAT HE’S DOING??! He literally smiles every time someone falls for his “I’m just a dumb jock” routine. Guys, he grew up with Loki, he went to university, he’s been alive for over a millennia. His flaw in the first Thor movie was that he had too much hubris, not that he was stupid.
He knows that he can play dumb and get out of any situation. Do you all not see that sheepish smirk he always does?
Thor: Ragnarok only confirms what the first two movies were hinting at – Thor is very intelligent and can even pull one over on Loki when he wants to. After the events in The Avengers, he knows Loki’s true feelings about him and that’s why he’s so emotional in The Dark World and why he’s always teasing him in Ragnarok.
@unstatedmartini: #i’m 200% sure that they had another game called Terribly Sorry#hey. let’s do Terribly Sorry.#no. it’s humiliating.#not for me it’s not.#*cue thor being fake-stupid and fake-clumsy and fake-drunk and real loud*#*loki following along waving his hands nervously* terribly sorry! oh dear! my brother can be such a brute! terribly sorry!#and they’re long gone before anyone realizes that the Important Magic Thingy or Super Secret Map is gone
the entire month of august is like the sunday evening of the year where you think you have your shit together but at 11pm you realize theres school tomorrow & your shit is completely not together
I’ve been out of school for thirteen years and I still feel this in my goddamn bones.
Her tuition so damn high she can wear whatever tf she wants
Spite goals
There’s a better thing to her story. She CONTINUED her thesis in her underwear and afterward her professor said “what would your mother think wearing those kinds of clothes”
And she responded “my mother’s a feminist also a gender and sexuality studies professor. She’s fine with my shorts”
i think the best part is that a majority of the class also stripped with her in solidarity
Just to give a little more perspective after reading the story:
The sequence of events is a little jumbled in the telling above. The actual chastising from the teacher came days before the woman’s thesis, during a practice run of her presentation. This was not a spur-of-the-moment thing where she just whipped off her clothes for the sake of being angry. Chai took the time to think things through before deciding this was the way she wanted to protest. She used critical thinking and level-headedness to decide instead of becoming volatile and aggressive, she would choose non-violent protest.
I just don’t like the way the story’s being told by others because it makes her come across as “overly-emotional” and “erratic” (as women often do in the media, because it’s easier to attribute extreme action to “hysteria”), whereas in actual news reports, she had time to think about her decision and choose the best way to handle what happened to her.
uh-huh, so I believe this time a question like this deserves a bit of a longer answer even though my immediate reaction is just a deep desire to sigh and dissolve into some kind of void goop-slime.
but! let’s divide this into three things:
1. a pagan witch can honestly say anything because the rules of craft and faith are often personal. some believe certain concepts and abide by certain sets of rules while others don’t – and neither the fact that someone is a witch or a pagan forces them to believe one unchangeable thing. unless the concepts rule each other out (like perhaps, I don’t know, saying you’re a polytheist but you believe in only one god, or you’re a witch who doesn’t believe in magic/power of intent and will) things are generally up to you.
2. following tradition and an ancient path, or being a part of a reconstructist religion does not mean you HAVE TO – or you’re even allowed to – follow all the customs and rules they followed centuries ago. tradition is also something that evolves constantly, a group of things that changed throughout generations, bits retracted and bits added, changing moods and affiliations. tradition is not the opposite of progress and change, but a profound respect for your past and the ways of people whose lives allowed you to come into existence.
you’re not gonna catch me living in a hut with no electricity making butter all day, sacrificing lambs, sitting with my bare arse on the field to make it fertile, shitting in the woods, and jumping on the funeral pyre of my deceased husband with a horse or two.
3. imagine you live all those centuries ago. you’re rather poor, your house is made of wood and clay. you’re not really that entertained by the concept of dying this winter, really, so you hope with your whole heart that your fields will be fertile and your crops will be good. if you want to have someone to take care of you when you’re over 40 and very tired by your farming life, you hope with your whole heart your wife is fertile too. two of your children died before they turned five. if the neighbour tribe attacks and you do not have enough sons to protect your household, you die. you pray your wife is fertile. you believe in goddesses whose main thing is Fertility™ – womb and field alike. you believe in goddesses whose main thing is Please Don’t Let My Wife Die in Childbirth.
the world you live in is harsh. you spend your entire day in the field, hard work. your sons are somewhere fighting a war and might die – by sword or because their buddy sneezed on them. it is only logical that you have to be strong. you have to be The Man while your wife has to bake bread out of what’s left from when you got mice in the barn and birth children – she has to be The Woman.
but look, times change. we do not live in huts of clay – we live in polluted and overpopulated cities. we have too many kids. we do not actually need more kids to survive the winter and to protect us from when Bogdan and Bożydar get bored and decide to attact our village. we have education, science, medicine, women do not have to stay at home and just be a mother. you buy butter in Tesco. do you work in the field? do you live only by what the earth yields?
change is crucial and necessary and our lives will always be different than those of our great great grandmothers. we need to adapt – ourselves and our concepts. this also applies to adapting to very modern concepts that science gave us – medicine, electricity, psychology, sociology, so many other studies. we evolve. we change as a species.
we do not need the same idea of masculinity and femininity that our ancestors simply HAD TO HAVE. we do not need to worship Fertility out of the fear we will die. it’s no longer the most important thing.
gender is made up, gender roles are no longer necessary, a witch can say whatever a witch wants.
one of my forever favourite rants to the two anons who are apparently really new to my blog.
During World War II, 600,000 African-American women entered the wartime
workforce. Previously, black women’s work in the United States was
largely limited to domestic service and agricultural work, and wartime
industries meant new and better-paying opportunities – if they made it
through the hiring process, that is. White women were the targets of the
U.S. government’s propaganda efforts, as embodied in the lasting and
lauded image of Rosie the Riveter.Though largely ignored in America’s
popular history of World War II, black women’s important contributions
in World War II factories, which weren’t always so welcoming, are
stunningly captured in these comparably rare snapshots of black Rosie
the Riveters.
Reblogging because I’ve never seen these before, and I bet a lot of people haven’t.
As a cishet male, it took me a long time to realize that just meant “cisgender heterosexual.”
But if we’re talking acronyms, it could have accurately stood for “cargo-included shorts / hides emotions terribly” as well.
we can forgive you for not knowing what cishet is but cargo shorts? that is too far
I’m hoping to get a pardon due to extenuating circumstances on this one.
You see, as a white cishet guy who regularly shaves off all my hair, wearing cargo shorts is about the most overt way I can think of to broadcast to everyone in the vicinity:
DO NOT BE ALARMED! THIS HUGE NERD IS OBVIOUSLY NOT A SKINHEAD!
wait… what does trans stand for then?
They stand for each other and for a world without fear
