I firmly believe that unless the couple has discussed and agreed to marriage ahead of time, nobody has any business making a surprise public proposal.
Okay except some people want a surprise public proposal.
Girl my husband took me to Spain and gave me a kinder egg on the beach, the ring was inside the capsule (Lord knows how he did that) if any feminist tried to take that away from me I may cut a bitch. Best surprise of my life.
I wish people were capable of analyzing larger social trends and figuring that a significant number of women end up getting pressured into engagements or marriages they don’t want bc the audience that comes along with a public proposal will think she’s a bitch if she says no – instead of thinking “i liked it when it happened to me, therefore it could never turn out badly for anyone, not ever!!!!”
I think what people are misunderstanding here is that agreeing to marriage ahead of time doesn’t need to be like, asking permission to propose? I surprised my now spouse with a proposal in Disneyland but before that we had several conversations about the future of our relationship, future plans for our retirements and how we’d have to get married eventually for immigration purposes. I didn’t go to her and say “so would you say yeah if I proposed?” or hash out deets ahead of time, but we had enough of a mutual understanding and communicated desire to get married that, although it was a surprise for when and how I proposed, it wasn’t out of left field at all.
This is exactly like conversations about consent, people get up in arms thinking that it means you have to have contracts and serious sit down conversations before doing anything when its REALLY EASY to simply COMMUNICATE with your partner so things like this are done properly, yeesh
“proposal can be a surprise, engagement shouldn’t be“ – saw that somewhere, thought it was the most accurate
Vampires are just nocturnal, the same way we are diurnal. A vampire could go out during the day, but they would just rather be sleeping.
Vampires are just afraid of the light, the same way we are afraid of the dark. Their eyes are meant to see in the dark, so they just can’t see very well in the light. It hurts their eyes and they can’t see what’s around them, so it’s just scary.
Some vampire was probably too afraid to admit that he was afraid of the light, so he made up a fake allergy to the sun. Word got out to mortals, so we just assumed that all vampires are allergic to the sun. You know how mortals like to stereotype and whatnot.
But imagine pop, sunny vampires that are the vampire version of goth, dark humans. They like to go out in the sun and wear bright clothes, and the other vampires think it’s metal as fuck. “Oh, you know Victoria Anne III? Yeah she’s totally pop. Her friends call her Susan.”
It won’t happen immediately, but the internet will become too expensive for me, and most likely any content dealing with certain social issues and political stances will be censored over time, slowly, and then all at once. I definitely won’t stop fighting for Net Neutrality, because no one ever accomplished anything by giving up. There are so many states working to fix this problem (except for my state, of course…), but sadly we may not see a Congressional Review Act before the 23rd.
I have enjoyed my time on tumblr, and will enjoy as much of the information I can absorb online while I still can.
But please remember: GET. OUT. AND. VOTE. By removing those from office who allowed this mess to happen, we have the chance to restore protections.
We have overcome a lot of shit as a nation, and we shall overcome this as well.
Without unconstrained access to information, it’s more important than ever to remember to vote. Do not go quietly into the night. It will be harder to do your research on candidates but you must research so we do not become controlled by state media.
if NOBODY is gay in ocean’s 8 i will physically lose my SHIT. you are gonna collect 8 WOMEN CRIMINALS/MATERMINDS and tell me NONE OF THEM ARE GAY? NONE of them fall in love with each other? PREPOSTEROUS. there aren’t enough smart straights to pull off such elaborate schemes. you need a lesbian or two in there or else NOTHING will work! common sense.
