One of my favorite things is that the top gun fandom unanimously agree that if Goose lived, having to deal with hangster aka icemav 2.0 might have killed him instead

i think if we’re going to have conversations about consent we should talk about how consenting to something doesn’t necessarily mean it’s going to be a good experience, and having a bad experience doesn’t necessarily mean someone violated your consent. this can apply to a lot of situations but the two i’m thinking of right now are sex and transition.
you’re getting it on with someone. you enthusiastically consent to having sex with them. afterward, you feel a little weird about it. maybe even distressed. maybe they did something you didn’t enjoy and in the moment you just didn’t say anything. maybe you just realized after the fact that you were not in a good headspace for sex and now your mental health is declining. that doesn’t inherently mean the person you had sex with violated your consent. sometimes it just means you need to take a break from sex or work on communicating your needs or boundaries better during sex.
and with transition, i feel like this is something that gets consistently overlooked but like. there will never be zero detransitioners. there will always be people who decide that actually transition wasn’t right for them. they could have had the best most thorough doctors in the world who did everything by the book and got full informed consent at every step. and some people are still going to decide they don’t like the changes and wish they hadn’t transitioned. that doesn’t mean that the doctors violated their consent, and that doesn’t mean that transition shouldn’t be available to anyone. it just means that we need to have more resources available for folks who detransition.
regret does not automatically mean someone did something wrong. regret is simply one possible result of having bodily autonomy, and i think we need to get more comfortable with that.
why the line "this isn't even a car key!" is just the funniest thing ever? am i just dumb? wait! don't answer that!

Watching the Percy Jackson series has made me empathize with Aphrodite more than I ever thought possible.
Cuz these kids are TWELVE and are out here just trying to SURVIVE, but every time Percy and Annabeth interact I’m giggling and kicking my feet like “Hehehe you don’t know it yet, but that is the love of your life. Yes, yes, there’s a big scary monster but what about the slow-burn romance?”
And I always found it so annoying in the books when Aphrodite would show up and only be interested in the romantic dynamics between the characters and otherwise be kinda useless. But now??? I’m totally on the same page with her. Cuz I know they’re going to fight a million monsters and win, and at the end of the day one fight looks just like the next. But they only fall in love ONCE and it’s AMAZING.
Like damn. Apologies the goddess Aphrodite. I suddenly get it.
Brimsley: Reynolds kissed me!
Agatha Danbury: Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God!
Brimsley : It was unbelievable!
Agatha Danbury: Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God!
Queen Charlotte: Okay, we wanna hear everything. Lady Danbury, get the tea and light the candles. Brimsley, does this end well or do we need tissues?
Brimsley: Oh, it ended VERY well!
Agatha Danbury: Do not start without me! Do not start without me!
Queen Charlotte: Okay, alright, let’s hear about the kiss. Was it a soft brush against your lips or was it like a, you know, “I gotta have you now” kind of thing?
Brimsley: Well, at first it was really intense, you know? And then, oh God, and then we just sort of sunk into it.
Queen Charlotte: Ohh... So, okay, was he holding you? Or were his hands on your back?
Brimsley : First they started out on my waist and then they slid up and then they were in my hair!
Agatha Danbury and Queen Charlotte: tell us more, more!
*meanwhile*
Reynolds while walking behind King George: And, uh, and then I kissed him.
King George: Tongue?
Reynolds: yes your majesty.
King George: Cool.
