Hello, my name is Charlie, this is my personal blog.
they/them or he/him pronouns.
Feel free to message me about anything and maybe check out my about page.
movies about apocalypses: it’s every man for himself!! you can’t trust anyone, it’s a wasteland of solo travelers and sad families, we’re alone out here
humans irl: *pack bond with strangers*
*pack bond with large carnivores*
*pack bond with robots in space thousands of miles away*
Apocalypse preppers who fantasise about all our artificial rules and governments falling away in times of chaos seem to forget that we invented those rules and governments. Over and over. When you put humans near each other, they group up and make a society; that’s why those governments exist. Do they think we magically stop doing that in dangerous situations? Because… we don’t.
just once I want to see a good post critiquing makeup culture that doesn’t turn out to be made by some janky radfem blog
oh hey!! I’m not a janky radfem I can do it myself!
makeup culture is wack and normalizes a ludicrously high bar as the bare minimum women can do. I saw a “lazy"makeup tutorial the other day that listed 22 separate goddamn products. you’re supposed to buy and know how to use 22 different things on your face just for the privilege of being considered lazy and that’s uuuuuuh what’s the word? bullshit.
Really, five products could work, even 3. Just frame the face, eyes, lips, and you’re done.
0 products also works great
because I’m gonna be real here, the idea that 22 products is a minimum sucks but it’s really upsetting that any amount of makeup is the bare minimum at all
I would really just suggest some powder foundation, concealer, mascara and lipgloss/lipstick, or tbh just mascara works too, but that’s up to you
I’m sorry if I didn’t express this clearly enough in the original post but I’m not really looking for more concise makeup regiments. my intention was to point out how it’s Bad that makeup is considered a bare minimum at all, regardless of individual feelings on the matter
no face should be “required” to have “a minimum” of makeup. makeup has no health benefits and does nothing but fill the pockets of companies that prey on women and our insecurities.
makeup should not be seen as hygiene because it isnt. get that shit out of your head.
this post: makeup culture is ridiculous and 22 products should not be considered a minimum requirement for someones face. no one should have to do that
the notes: so like……. what youre saying is……. we need to make the minimum about 5 or 6 instead… i gotcha
Really the only makeup you need is eyeliner but that’s just my personal opinion
okay
where did we lose you
why are people like this
Everyone saying makeup standards are ridiculous- get this- are going to do absoloutely nothing about it and probably still gonna wear makeup.
I’d like to add this on, to make things easier for everyone, since the books aren’t…actually in the correct order if you just read them in chronological order.
It’s a link to a masterpost of mine with all of the books in their proper order, using the site above, so that you don’t have to play a guessing game with which books you should be reading when.
Please don’t take the words “read animorphs” lightly, I experienced these books at nearly thirty years old and I am still shaken by some of the body horror, vividly accurate representations of psychological trauma and at least a dozen explorations into the terror of genocide.
And I run what is presently the internet’s largest horror-writing contest
Hhh an affordable method thanks!!
Read with caution. If I had read Animorphs any older than elementary age then I would probably be a lot more messed up as a child.
Animorphs will lure you in with ridiculous cool cover art of people turning into animals, then give you amazing world building and some of the best aliens I’ve ever seen that aren’t just humans with pointy ears, and then punch you in the gut with body horror and the realities of war and the fact that the protagonists are effectively child soldiers.
