"let people be wrong about you" is such good advice that i am unfortunately physically incapable of following. if i am incorrectly perceived by anyone i will simply start ripping things with my teeth

From Palestinian poet Najwan Darwish

I've said this before and I'll say it again: it's more important to know and understand fully why something is harmful than it is to drop everything deemed problematic. It's performative and does nothing. People wonder why nobody has critical thinking skills and this is part of it because no one knows how to simousltansly critique and consume media. You need to use discernment.

This is ultimately why propaganda is going to work on you. Because you never learned how to think for yourself and the actual ideology behind things. You simply rely on group think and the bare minimum explanations to tell you what's good and bad.

this has been in my folder for 800 years but we're finally on the shading

dude omegaverse AUs are lowkey insanely sex positive because 90% of everything revolves around sex and everyone is completely fine with it like imagine taking a week off work to get railed to hell and back and your coworkers being 100% okay with it there's no gossip or drama or anything just mark from HR getting his guts rearranged nonstop tuesday through saturday and coming back to work on monday with a fresh bitemark on his neck and meeting his colleagues for lunch like nothing happened what a LIFE

You know I have to wonder how many people that try to write Romeo and Juliet inspired things / use that trope, specifically the whole double death

Realize it's not like they PLANNED on dying together, the whole plan was to be a faked death on Juliet's end unfortunately the guy who was to be messenger and TELL Romeo this got delayed or whatever so he couldn't get there before Romeo left so he arrives, dude with 0 medical knowledge comes across her seemingly dead body,

and then yah okay he decides to go the extreme and welp he doesn't want to live with out her and kills himself. Then she wakes up finds him dead distraught by this she also makes the impulsive emotional choice of then ending her life because he dead.

I mean yeh in the end the final choice to take their life was their but it wasn't the original plan- and I'd argue that could be where some of the tragedy comes in. Not 2 teens deciding to kill themselves if they can't be together but because this whole thing could have been avoided if Romeo had only received the message / wasn't for miscommunication

Here's the other thing.

Both Romeo and Juliet were children.

Juliet was 13, two weeks from turning 14. Romeo's age is not mentioned. He is not being pressured to marry, he's referred to as "young Romeo" and while people assume he's 16 to 18... no one ever mentions an age gap, so he could very well be a 14-year-old kid.

(Also, while 14-year-old girls were at times married off, the marriage often is not consummated until the bride is several years older and not likely to die in childbirth.)

Claims that Romeo was some horny guy trying to get it on with a girl not even 14 also fail to acknowledge something else: Romeo wants to marry her and have a life with her. He's not trying to seduce her. He's trying to become her husband. He may have never been with a woman (the play strongly suggests he was a virgin, though directors can and do alter the script to fit their own views).

(I mean, the woman Romeo had been interested in before decided to enter a convent, and nuns tend not to have children - officially, at least. They are "married to God" and mundane marriages to men kind of gets in the way of that.)

One bit of fridge genius: the whole Rosalind thing seems totally extraneous until you realize it's there to show how immature Romeo is at the start of the story.

sorry no context just that this had me crying
