[id: the "highest honor i can bestow" meme. it shows carl and russel. on top of carl is white text that says "me", and over russel there's text saying "character i like". the "highest honor i can bestow" is edited to say "ethnic identity." /end id]

many of us still are in the process of learning to stop associating positivity with happiness and peace with control. you can have a positive mindset and be a positive person and still experience negative emotions like sadness or frustration, and you can be at peace without knowing exactly what happens next in your life. you are not failing because you cry sometimes or because you tend to get angry, and you are not inable to be at peace because you don’t know what happens next. live in the moment and do what you can and feel what you feel, that’s all you have to do.

Re-blog this post with the caption “I request a commission”

  • •hashtag it “empathetic society”
  • •Send the post to me through direct messages
  • •And tag-dah! We can now officially start your commission

info:

  • • I only do 3 slots a week. If the slots are full you will have to wait the next week
  • • even if the 3 slots for the week are full it’s still OK to ask me for a commission. What will usually happen is that I will sign you up for next week for slots. just please, DONT pay me until we officially start on your commission. i don’t like being payed before hand.
  • • i have a priority list. Basically a priority list determines whose commissions is getting done first and last. If you take days to respond, you will go at the very bottom at my priority list and a commission WILL take longer because of that. Just a warning. This isn’t out of Malicious behavior but because A lot of people are commissioning me at once, taking long forces me to move onto the next costumer. you’ll then have to wait until I’m done with their commission so I could get back to yours again which makes your process longer. Just putting this out there so there’s no confusion. Anyways guys, have a nice day, DM me and give me your wallet! My Cashapp: $AmiiAmi

Feminist fantasy is funny sometimes in how much it wants to shit on femininity for no goddamned reason. Like the whole “skirts are tools of the patriarchy made to cripple women into immobility, breeches are much better” thing.

(Let’s get it straight: Most societies over history have defaulted to skirts for everyone because you don’t have to take anything off to relieve yourself, you just have to squat down or lift your skirts and go. The main advantage of bifurcated garments is they make it easier to ride horses. But Western men wear pants so women wearing pants has become ~the universal symbol of gender equality~)

The book I’m reading literally just had its medievalesque heroine declare that peasant women wear breeches to work in the field because “You can’t swing a scythe in a skirt!”

Hm yes story checks out

peasant women definitely never did farm labour in skirts

skirts definitely mean you’re weak and fragile and can’t accomplish anything

skirts are definitely bad and will keep you from truly living life

no skirts for anyone, that’s definitely the moral of the story here

Now, a skirt that’s too long will be harder to work in–skirts brushing the floor may look elegant, but is also a tripping hazard–but that is not a problem with skirts in general, it’s a problem with that particular skirt not being suited to being worked in. Skirts are very practical. You can hike them up if you’re hot or need more freedom to maneuver (this is called “girding your loins”). If you need to carry something, you can lift up your hem and make a pouch just like the person in yellow in the bottom picture above. If you need to handle something hot, a skirt generally has enough material you can hold it out from your body to use as a hot pad. (Tight skirts were only used by people who didn’t need to work/move until the invention of elastic fabric.)

Long skirts were markers of class almost as much as gender. Both men and women in the European middle ages wore extravagantly long garments to indicate both “I’m so rich I can afford THIS MUCH fabric” and “I don’t walk in the mud, I pay servants to do that for me.”

Skirt hiking: Definitely a Thing. (Janet’s tied her kirtle green/above the knee and not below…)

Love this post, and want to add: another example of the “empowerment means shitting on feminity” is the bizarro way that this genre attacks basic survival skills like cooking and sewing as pointless, inferior or mutually exclusive with masculine pursuits (like your lady knight should probably know how to cook for herself and sew her own wounds and patch her clothes while she’s on her quest through the North to rescue her boyfriend, or this happy couple is in for a world of hurt!)

Or to quote one of my all favorite posts, “fuck women’s contribution to our survival.”

Historically, skirts have been the garment of choice for almost every culture, gender and class. Breeches, or pants, were created specifically for riding horses.
