Saw this and wanted to share it, because stop shipping celebrities, when they tell you to stop. It makes them uncomfortable and as you see it doesnt end well.
If being shipped with your friend ruins your relationship with that person, you’re the problem. If someone implying you’re gay or dating one of your friends bothers you to this degree, that’s homophobic. Or at the very least, just kinda shitty
WHAT IS REALLY SHITTY IS THAT SHIPPING REAL PEOPLE WITHOUT CONSENT OR AGAINST THEIR GODDAMN WILL TO THE POINT OF FRACTURING A FRIENDSHIP IS INVASIVE AND CREEPY THEN GUILTING THEM BECAUSE “IT’S HOMOPHOBIC” IS MANIPULATIVE AS FUCK STOP DOING THAT OH MY GOD
Could I PLEASE stop seeing period dramas where women aren’t wearing chemises under their corsets
Also to add- corsets were not because of “patriarchical oppression”. In most cases it was how you held up and supported your boobs with the benefit of shaping your figure at the same time. Just like a bra today. I hate it when some actresses refuse to wear corsets for a role that ABSOLUTELY WOULD HAVE WORN ONE because they’re trying to express their feminism. Like, I get it, it’s 100% okay to express your feminism but for goodness sakes do some historical research about what it actually was before making assumptions
Also, also, please no more “I can’t get into my corset without help” because that’s nonsense. I’m sure there were a lot of rich ladies who were laced in every day but a lot of other women managed to put on corsets themselves just fine. There was a study done in the 1887 about how women laced their corsets and the majority of them didn’t lace it so tightly they couldn’t breathe. In fact most women laced it to a comfortable place, with a 3 to 4 inch gap at the back.
There are so many myths about corsets and I’m passionate about accurate depictions of historical clothing
for the first like 14 years of my life i thought that the story of saint valentine and valentines day were a celebration of a massive gay polyamorous marriage and let me tell you, i was sorely disappointed when i learned i had massively misunderstood that story
i was told the basic story of “the king had made it illegal for young men to get married so that they could be drafted off to go to war (as married men with families were not, apparently)” and that “saint valentine thought this was cruel, and married the young men in secret”
what this was supposed to communicate to me was “saint valentine would marry young men to their girlfriends in secret as a priest at his own risk and thats why we celebrate valentines day”
what i got out of it was “saint valentine married a shitton of dudes so he could protect his army of husbands from having to go to war and it was beautiful and love can halt war in its tracks and thats why we celebrate valentines day”
and thats why the assumption that a child would automatically get a hetero interpretation of the story and the innate unclarity of the english language made me think that valentines day was about mass gay poly marriage until i was like fourteen and recited the story to a friend who stared at me like id grown three extra heads
