Lesser known facts when writing women:
Feel free to add your own.
- Bras leave red marks on the skin under and around boobs and it is a magical experience when taken off.
- Make up can take anywhere from 5 to 25 minutes depending on how skilled you are.
- Taking hair out of a ponytail after wearing it for hours does not make it perfectly straight when it comes down.
- Hair when wet sticks to the skin it no longer flows, idiot.
-When women with long hair kiss, turn around, do anything, their hair falls in the way.
- Stockings are itchy and tear like wet paper bags.
- Pantyhose, tights, leggings, and stockings are each different.
- Waxing hurts and leaves red skin for a while afterwards while shaving leaves stubble
- Most can’t run in heels unless they have been VERY worn
- Insecurity in appearance doesn’t mean “buy me a drink”
- EVERYONE HAS DIFFERENT TASTES IN EVERYTHING
-Having large breasts sucks. It sucks beyond belief. If a garment happens to fit your large chest, odds are it won’t fit the rest of you. Underboob sweat is real and terrible. Bending over for extended periods of time will tweak your back out. Running can be painful due to boob turbulence. Bras are hella expensive. Big breasts are not fun.
We have never, ever looked in a mirror and silently described our nude bodies to ourselves, especially the size/shape/weight/resemblance to fruit/etc. of our breasts.
researching 17th century piracy tonight. came across this:
One popular pastime amongst pirates was the mock trial. Each man played a part be it jailer, lawyer, judge, juror, or hangman. This sham court arrested, tried, convicted, and “carried out” the sentence to the amusement of all. (x)
how widespread could this have really been? how would it have gotten passed from ship to ship? can you imagine a pirate crew at a tavern, bragging to another pirate crew about how good they are at playing pretend? why was their go-to game “legal system”? were they performing incisive satire? is this some sort of pirates-only inside joke that’s been lost to the ages?
update: the mock-charge in the mock-trial was piracy
they used to pretend to try each other for piracy
as a stress relief
ok but it’s got to have been a lot of fun to be the pirate defense lawyer, for the pirate accused of piracy, to attempt to argue to the pirate judge, in front of a jury of pirate peers, that your client could not possibly be a pirate
how do i get into the popular text post bloggers clique is this like some illuminati type shit
Tumblr has grown so much that posts aren’t considered popular if they don’t have at least 100k notes.
MANILA, Philippines (AP) — A popular Philippine actress cried out for help from a rooftop as a tropical storm roared and floodwaters rose menacingly. Then an actor emerged from nowhere on a speedboat and swept her to safety.
from the NY TIMES. I dunno if I should be happy or OK, shut up Gelai.
I’m not… Somehow. :|
sana ung kay gerald anderson na lng dba.. mas ok pa.. :)
yea he saved her, but did he save the other people trapped on their roofs as well? NO. i’m not sorry that i hate richard gutierrez.
I wasn’t shocked. I saw it coming. But I didn’t expect them to not give Jung Hwan’s feelings for Duk Seon and vice versa enough credit to add more scenes to them.
We do appreciate all the effort to give everyone a happy ending. But our dear Jung Hwan, although with his shy smile, is still hurting. And didn’t even see his own happily ever after.
I was even expecting to see that Jung Hwan became this super popular pilot that he became a nationally known person. Enough to warrant that comment before everything was put to a closure. I was expecting a scene where he actually was flying to Beijing the same time DS and CT were there.
SOMEONE WRITE A FIC ABOUT THAT OR I SWEAR I’M GONNA DRAW BLOOD AND WRITE IT MYSELF

Anon here continuing with my modern au rant lol. Also Hiccup does not listen to authority when he rather do his own thing which in the eyes of many could give him bad boy cred as well. Plus like in ur AU. He prob drives a sweet bike/car. The adrenaline junkie that he is
Introverted =/= Loser, indeed.
I have some age-old rants about the misplaced ‘nerd role’ transferred on Hiccup in a modern AU (particularly the glasses-bit). He’s a soul that would rather do his own thing than work a system like life is just a bunch of stepping stones. A smart kid that has better things to do than school, hence why his grades are mediocre. A student that has a lack of school spirit, which drives over-achievers, rally-organizers like Astrid insane.
Modern Hiccup is a loner, maybe a bit of an outsider. Not a loser. Not in modern society.
And yes, a penchant for thrill, but intelligent enough not to show off. He’s the kid who asks his father if he can skive off school and go skydiving on his birthday and then silently takes the flack from Astrid the next day for not showing up for their group project and how she’s not going to pull his dead weight anymore and he cuts in and says he promises to do his part but she insists that that’s not the point and he’s so unreliable…
And he fumes a bit thinking of a time when they were tiny tots and friends and when she would have remembered that yesterday was his birthday.
Ah, little high school fights :3
AND THEN AND THEN AND THEN
The next day Astrid corners Hiccup at his locker and asks if he got his portion of the project done yet and he looks a little sleepy and says “nearly” and it’s apparent he was up most of the night doing something (though she knows better than to assume it was a school project).
She holds up her phone to his FB page, which show a few tagged pictures of him in skydiving gear with his tandem partner and some of him free-falling
But before he can ask something like ‘why am I on your feed?’ she starts in on him over how “this doesn’t look sick to me” and how “we only have two more day until its due” and that they “still have to meet up again…compile everything…” that she outta tell the professor how to divide the grade given all the work he skipped out on, even if it was just one day, it was a day she didn’t have practice…
Hiccup’s following the phone she’s waving around, thinking back on how much fun he had, assuring himself that it was worth pissing off Astrid “pay attention” Hofferson. Then he meets her eye.
“It was just something for my birthday.”
And he slams his locker shut and walks by her and all of that self-righteous anger sort of fizzles inside her
MORE!!!! give us more!!!!
Modern Hiccup would be the ideal guy I LOVE IT
Staring at the closed locker, the banging still ringing in her ears despite the noise of students on their way to period 1 classes, Astrid came flooded with the memories of her and the other kids’ younger days, playing at the Haddock household, celebrating Hiccup’s first few years of birthdays.
She should’ve remembered. But with varsity, debate team, IB classes and her part-time job at the target range, she doesn’t really much room for another person’s affairs. Hel, she can’t even keep up with her own thoughts these days.
There’s no other way to finish this project without Hiccup’s portion. She knows what needs to be done. She can do it. But for the group to get the grade she needs to secure her shot at the scholarship, his talent for technical art is imperative.
It’s unfair how Hiccup can be so nonchalant about being a creative genius and still get away with ignoring his student responsibilities. He used to top their classes, but for some reason, he suddenly seemed to not care anymore about getting subject requirements submitted on time, or getting them done at all. He still tops her scores on exams, though. Furthering her frustration. He’s not a rival per se as he doesn’t reciprocate her sentiments.
“Library. Period 6.”
She tears off a generic yellow sticky note and smashes it on to the impossible teen’s locker door.
No, she’s not gonna get seenzoned on messanger. Yes, this would show how serious she is about getting things straight.
It is our duty as feminists to protect and respect women in Hijabs
Now. More. Than. Ever.
Question: if I see someone pull off a Hijab, what should I do? I know there are reasons they are worn so I want to if i should stand in between them and who did this, should i protect them from view somehow, or something else? This has been happening a lot so I feel it’s something everyone needs to know.
Good question! I cannot correctly and effectively answer, as I am a white, non-Muslim person; however, I will reblog in case any of my followers can answer.
I asked my Hijabi friend, so here’s one Hijabi’s answer:
“my opinion is, definitely try cover them or give them something to cover themselves with. And perhaps shoo off the person, without putting oneself in danger! God forbid, if that happened to me, I would like someone to come and comfort me and give me something to cover my hair with and then help me report it to the cops
“
(Followers, if any of you are hijabi and would like to expand on this answer or offer alternatives, please do.)
If u see it happen to 1 of us, pls cover our head + hair with a coat or shawl or any piece of cloth, while hugging us in comfort. Please don’t get hurt by lashing out @ the perpetrators in any way, coz if they dare to do that, they’re probably too far gone in their own hatred to listen to any reason. Much love + Thank You to anyone who supports us.
yes !! everything said here is important af. if you see someone pull off a girl’s hijab immediately cover her hair and provide comfort. don’t talk to the perpetrator but try to get the woman out of there if you can. maybe if you have a scarf on you at the time give it to her so she can wear it until she’s alone and can replace her hijab. please please protect muslim girls because we already had it hard before donald trump became president and now its gonna be worse with people going around thinking their violence and cruelty is justified
for my other white ppl who might have a hard time, it’s my understanding that a hijab is like a major item of clothing, not an accessory like a hat or a scarf.
so think abt it more like if someone just ripped someone’s shirt or skirt off. u don’t want to be left there exposed or have to walk home without it.
everyone, even outside America needs to protect our Muslim sisters in these times.
as a man, what would be the best thing to do? should i turn my head and avoid looking at their hair? can i still offer a jacket or something similar?
^I’m hoping someone has an answer islamaphpbia is on the rise in my town and I want to be a good male non Muslim ally
For men, yes please, we would prefer it if you avoided looking at our hair, and if we don’t have something to substitute as a hijab at that moment, anything you could lend us, a jacket, etc, would be very appreciated.
Also, since most girls avoid physical contact with men they’re not related to, please do not hug them, but rather shoo the offender away if you can, or at least escort the girl to a safe place. You can still offer words of encouragement and support. Furthermore, understand that the victim may not be very welcoming towards you because she’ll obviously be shaken, and won’t know where you are coming from. If that’s the case, please still give her something to cover herself (hijab is very important, think of it as someone ripping your shirt off) and stand some distance away until you are sure she’s in safe hands.
Thank you so much for your support, we really appreciate it, god bless all of you.
In the horrible climate we’re currently in, please take note of this.
Reblogging this again for the guy-instructions
Same
As a white girl who supports these women with all my heart, BOOSTING!!!
