Richard Siken, The Worm King’s Lullaby
men will watch the most trash shit ever released but when it comes to a girl squad movie it needs to meet the highest bar to be considered watchable and worthy of their oh so valuable time lol i have to laugh
i was thinking abt that earlier bc my coworker said "so birds of prey doesn't look very good" and i said "i don't care if it's the most trash ass movie ever made, i'm excited and i'm GONNA watch it!" he said "what, just because they're women" and i said "uh. yeah."
especially in genres, women are held to a weirdly high standard. there are like eight fucking movies where tom cruise plays himself in ridiculous high-stakes spy settings and no one bitches that they're unrealistic or stupid or whatever but margot robbie does it once and suddenly it's all about the integrity of the art.
Men will fully see 11 Fast and Furious movies and 7 spinoffs to “support the boys” or whatever but the second a girl movie comes out theyre all film majors
I like how everybody is paired off haha
I FINALLY FOUND OUT WHY THIS HAPPENS. You see this all the time when there’s a fight or a scrum and suddenly everyone pairs up with a member of the opposite team and they just sort of …hold each other.
Someone on reddit asked about it. And it turns out there’s a logical-ish reason:
all of the other players pair off with their man to prevent anyone else entering into the fight … so it’s a form of self policing.
[…] The players basically want to prevent 2 on 1, etc. fights and by finding a “hugging” partner so there’s no ganging up on one guy, even on accident. They do it because it’s fair. And it’s kind of cute sometimes.
so now we know! it’s fair…and cute.
Aw best part is no ones left out at this dance

NHL: You need to prevent other player’s from joining in the fight, make sure to hold them back
Hockey players, hugging: Got it.
As a hockey player, this is my favorite post of all time.
well now here is the thing tho
Mulan, Diana, and Arya all *Studied* the blade
Rey just swung it at a rock.
It’s heavily implied... no, screw that... It was made explicitly clear that Rey had learned martial skills during her informative years of surviving on Jakku. So her abilities with a Lightsaber are no less ridiculous than Luke being able to pilot an X-Wing in combat and blowing up the Death Star because he “used to bullseye womp rats in his T-16.”
It’s like they think that staff she carried around and fought people with and won was just for show
your 20’s be like
