i just bawled my eyes out and it feels like i just got the biggest hug to my soul. thank you thank you thank you. it is sacred and it is SAFE the poster will not tell anyone even what state this is in, only thats this is in USA. even if you are not indigenous i hope this lifts your spirits and comforts you.
you can try to defend the beauty industry all you want but aside from that video of the girl chemically burning the shit out of her face on purpose to make a “permanent contour” i also know women in my life who have gotten their eyebrows and their eyeliner tattooed on (respectively) simply because they thought it was a better alternative than applying them onto their faces every single day for the rest of their lives or risk being judged/ridiculed/punished by society
like think of how delicate the skin of the eye is where your eyeliner goes. imagine getting a fucking tattoo there. imagine thinking that pain is worth it because you feel so doomed to wearing makeup and yet so exhausted by the sheer idea of putting it on every day for the rest of your life
one of these women is my grandmother and the other is my aunt’s grandmother, and both of them have explicitly told me that they regret getting these tattoos, and neither of them got them redone when they eventually faded, years and years later. this isn’t a matter of “they love makeup and it helps them express themselves so let them do what they want!” it’s a matter of desperation, of resignation to the constraints and expectations of a society that wants women to look fuckable at literally all costs, even if it means undergoing significant, and even permanent, physical harm.
“beauty is pain” is just another (condescending) way of saying “your priority should be your looks, not your personal well-being” and no amount of loving makeup as a hobby and form of self-expression is going to make that stop being true
and I don’t mean the “”””capes”””” that stores carry nowadays
miss me with that contemporary nonsense
I’m talking about
C A P E S
think about how dramatically you could enter a room with a cape billowing behind you??!?!DARTH VADER HAD THE RIGHT IDEA PEOPLE (about the capes, not everything else…)
Okay but front-open capes with closures at the neck are hell to wear. They choke you and don’t really keep you warm if you need to do anything with your arms. That modern cloak had the right idea, it just didn’t go hard enough.
Let’s bring back MUSKETEER CAPES
NOW THAT’S WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT!!!
YES! I WILL SIGN WHATEVER PETITION TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN!
Cape me you bastards!
I want one of those capes so bad you don’t even know
This wasn’t some little meme spike like Bowsette was to Ninty’s stock.
This is an actual, lasting hit (so far).
Activision and EA were awesome in the 2000s BUT HAVE COME EVIL SINCE 08 they ruined Star Wars and Bungie. And now they need to stop what they doing to Blizzard I just got to liking them
Hate to break it to ya, but EA has been evil for decades.
Blizzard will shit in a box and sell it to you for $60
Activision will dig the corn out of that turd to pad the game’s price up to $110
EA will use minorities as a human shield against criticism as they pickpocket you then attempt to sell your wallet back to you
Nintendo will slit your throat in the middle of the night on christmas to protect their IP’s
Bethesda will release a game that the community has to unfuck, then they steal the ideas from popular mods and sell them as DLC
Sony will sell your soul for a cornchip
At the start of the current gen, Microsoft existed solely to collect data on you to sell to china through their kinect which failed so they now shamble around aimlessly
Ubisoft manufactures controversy through race relations and political hotbutton issues to sell games
Konami will follow from job to job making sure you’re never hired again if you leave, Only big name producers like Kojima and Naoki Maeda from bemani fame have even the slightest hint of recourse.
Sega will firebomb their entire company just because non-japanese executives are doing better than the japanese execs
sky's stuff
