Hange’s rage, s03e03

No way is Zeke on Marley’s side.

“Eren Jaeger is not my enemy!”

“Come on out, Levi. Time is running.”

He was clearly waiting for Levi to get there and cut him apart. I know it may seem unrealistic at first, but it just so happens so suddenly that Zeke doesn’t even try to resist? Also, Isayama didn’t even draw some monologue of him inside his nape, screaming and so on. There is clearly something up with him. I think the plan was for Levi to cut him out and get him away from there, while they put up a play where he is actually on Marley’s side. He just… went down way too quickly for me to think this was a legitimate battle, despite Levi’s face expression. Afterwards though, if he was really trying to kill Zeke he could have just cut him out of there and ended him on the spot instead of risking the bomb not going through/killing him properly. The bomb was most likely a distraction so that the people watching (Falco, Gabi, Magath) would not realize what happens.

today is one of those days.

Pussy is not short for pusillanimous.

That stupid post about “pussy” being short for “pusillanimous” pisses me off so fucking much and I’m going to tell you why. (PS: Masters degree in English linguistics talking here ya’ll.)

In short, no. “Don’t be a pussy” is not short for “don’t be a pusillanimous.” No. It isn’t. And people should stop saying it. You need some reasons to believe me?

1. It doesn’t make sense grammatically. Pusillanimous is an adjective — a describing words — not a noun. In the same way you can’t say “Don’t be a quiet” or “Don’t be a small” or “Don’t be a green” or “Don’t be a spicy”, you can’t say “Don’t be a pusillanimous.” You can’t tell people not to be a/an adjective.

2. It isn’t backed up by any scholarship whatsoever. Per Mirriam-Webster, the version of “pussy” that means “weak” or “timid” is short for “pussycat.” Not pusillanmous. Look up the word “pants” and you’ll see that it’s short for pantaloons, or the word “perks” and you’ll see it’s short for perquisites. Dictionaries do note origins like that. They don’t, however, state that pussy is short for pusillanimous, because it’s NOT.

3. There is plenty of documentation to connect the word “pussy” to the concept of women. It was for a while a term of endearment for women, especially for very old or very young women. (Read any Agatha Christie book starring Miss Marple and you will probably encounter someone who refers to Miss Marple as “a sweet old puss” or “a nice old pussycat.” In Uncle Tom’s Cabin, Eva’s father calls her “pussy.”)

It also is well known as a slang for a woman’s genitals. Per etymology online, it is “Perhaps from Old Norse puss ‘pocket, pouch’ (cf. Low German puse ‘vulva’)” but might also be connected to cats, based on the  “notion of ‘soft, warm, furry thing’; cf. French le chat, which also has a double meaning, feline and genital.’  “ It isn’t just a coincidence of words, morphemes or phonemes; there seems to be a cultural connection between the idea of a cat and the idea of a woman.

4. There is also plenty of documentation for it being used to degrade men for being seen as weak or feminine. Again per etymology online, from the 1580s it was used of effeminate men. For example, “To play pussy was World War II RAF slang for ‘to take advantage of cloud cover, jumping from cloud to cloud to shadow a potential victim or avoid recognition.’”  At dictionary.com, the third meaning of the word “pussy” has four senses: 1) the vulva, 2) sex with a woman, 3) a woman viewed as a sex object and 4) a weak, timid, or effeminate man. Note that they didn’t separate these four senses into completely different definitions, either. The definition of pussy as “weak man” is seen as intrinsically related to pussy meaning “the sexual aspect of a woman.”

5. People hear what they hear, no matter what you think you’re saying. What if I decided to say that the word “dick” is short for “dictator”? And then whenever I called someone a dick I said, “but I don’t mean it as in penis, I mean it as in short for dictator!” Whether or not it was true, it wouldn’t matter. What people would hear is dick as in penis, and that would be what they would understand. Similarly, even if, buried in the far mists of time, pussy really were short for pusillanimous — which I again state definitively it is not — but even if it were, that isn’t how people understand it now.

6. Sometimes words are offensive just because of what they sound like. Consider, for example, the word “niggardly.” Did you sort of wince when you read that? Because I winced a little as I typed it. The thing about that word is it has nothing whatsoever to do, etymologically, with the n-word. The n-word derives from the Latin word for “black” (for example, the word ‘negro’ means ‘black’ in Spanish). Niggardly derives from a totally different source and means “miserly” or “ungenerous.” But we all know what it sounds like. So it has become a word that most people don’t want to use anymore. And you know what? That’s fine. I love language, and I’m sad to see a word die, but we have “miserly” and “ungenerous” right here to fill that particular void, and I am fine to wave goodbye to “niggardly” because it sounds like a very offensive word. So what I’m saying is, if a word seems offensive, then it is. That’s how language works. In a polite society, we don’t deliberately use offensive words when other words are available that aren’t offensive.

7. Using the word to draw a connection between women’s sexuality and weak, useless men indicates that feminine sexuality is weak and that men shouldn’t act like women unless they want to be ridiculed. And that’s fucking ignorant and sexist against both genders.

8. Because it is clearly offensive, just stop. STOP. And don’t fucking quote Stephen Fry’s “who cares if it’s offensive” quote at me. You’re probably taking it out of context anyway. Listen: offensiveness is important because this is a cooperative species and we should fucking work together to not be assholes. Simple enough.

TL;DR? Pussy is not short for pusillanimous. Going back through the research, the word is closely related to women, women’s genitalia, and weak, effeminate men. The use of the word to mean “coward” is offensive to both genders — somewhat more to women than to men — and if you have an ounce of maturity you will stop using it that way.

Context matters.

Mobuhan comic

Mobuhan week finished like 10 days ago, but i think they still take submissions

DAY 1: KISS

This was really fun to draw

What???

3 people died and 7 became ill after eating blue bell due to the bacteria listeria being found in several machines. Most people’s immune systems shrugged it off but people with compromised immune systems (birth defects or diseases such as HIV) could become seriously ill or in this case die as a result of it.

Damn, that’s crazy that it happened, I’m glad I know not to buy them now.

@amerigoilluminatusx Hello! Texas native, here with more information that you should have the opportunity to know.

The second it became clear that Blue Bell was the source, they voluntarily shut down their facilities and recalled EVERYTHING they currently had on the market, around 8 million gallons of ice cream.

They tested, disassembled and thoroughly sterilized, then retested their manufacturing equipment. At least one major piece of equipment was thrown away, presumably because they couldn’t guarantee it was safe.

They tracked down the source of the “outbreak” and submitted a root cause analysis (with some info redacted here) to the FDA. And then they slowly started manufacturing again, releasing a few flavors at a time, testing each shipment before sending them out.

This happened over a year ago. They’re still recovering.

They threw away MILLIONS OF DOLLARS to keep people safe instead of, you know, trying to keep everything under wraps. (Honestly the tagline here should be “We Scare Because We Care” or somethin.) Blue Bell is a fricken solid and honest company.

So, yeah, enjoy your ice cream! ALL OF BLUE BELL IS DOING EVERYTHING PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE TO KEEP IT SAFE AND DELICIOUS.

That is all.

i needed this audio on my blog

honestly, her book looks amazing.

2017 is fucking wild

fun date with pastor nick pt. 2

Hey don't tag this as lev*han pls pls pls.

I love her art so much but with people ignoring her one simple request, I worry she will take it down. Do not deprive us of one of the best snk artists around because you can't follow simple instructions.

(Also How hard is it to look at these images and not laugh at two *buddy cops* beating up a criminal. Not two lovers. There's nothing shippy in these wondrous arts.)

holy crap just listen

why can’t non-asian fans love asian entertainment industries without trying to change their whole identity and race and culture trying to turn whatever particular culture they are fans of like???? you can watch bollywood films, hong kong films, jam to cpop and kpop and read mangas and manhwas without fucking changing your race and culture in order to try and become An Asian™

your hometown + the last food you ate is your cryptid name

for example: i am the manhattan cheerio

i normally don’t get involved in discourse shit but i’m genuinely frustrated with tumblr spreading misinformation about dream daddy. this is probably one of the most solid pieces of lgbt representation i’ve come across pretty much ever, but you get all these self righteous assholes literally nitpicking things that aren’t even true to be mad about without even giving this game a chance. 

like i’ve seen people boycotting it because the game grumps were involved but all they did was provide the voicework and the funding—snubbing this game hurts the lgbt developers and doesn’t really affect gg at all, so no one is really proving a point by pirating or just flat out not buying the game.

i’ve also seen people parroting datamined and most likely inaccurate info that literally thousands and thousands of people who have played the game have not been able to access, claiming the game’s supposed ending for one character means the devs “hate gay people” and “don’t want gay people to be happy.”

like can y’all just take a step back and fucking chill? i’m not saying this game shouldn’t be criticized or that you can’t even dislike it, but it is extremely disheartening to come across a game with a largely lgbt development team with an lgbt audience in mind getting shredded to hell and back on the basis of misinformation so if you’re going to find something to hate about it at least check your facts first. :/
