To his girlfriend…
I think I’m the only person who can’t stand that movie. In high school, everyone could not shut up about how amazing it is, so I went and bought a copy. I watched it twice: once to watch it, and again to see if I could figure out what the fuck it was about.
I’m petty sure no one I knew back then had any idea what it was about or the meaning behind it, or anything. But, everyone was always going on about how awesome and genius it was, that it’s become stuck in our minds as this cinematic masterpiece.
I was mediocre at best. It had some great quotable lines, but otherwise, meh.
- Friend: I don't understand how my headphones get so fucked up in my pocket
- Me: There's a portal to Asgard in your pocket
- Friend: what
- Me: your pocket is a portal to Asgard
- Me: Loki takes your headphones and messes them up and sends them back
- Me: LOKI'D
- Friend: ...
- Friend: ...
- Friend: Son of a bitch.
- Me: Son of Laufey.

#I just want to know Tom’s thought progression here#somehow it must have involved the phrases ‘shit bricks’ and ‘brickhouses’ because his biceps are huge as bricks #and then it came out in a vomit of words: ‘Chris-Brick-Shithouse-Hemsworth’
He was saying Chris is built like a brick shithouse. It basically means someone who is very big and strong. I think it’s mostly an English thing, being that Tom is English.
Advice Needed - Awkward Stares
I’d love to get everyone’s take on this situation, since I know we’ve all dealt with it.
I was wondering how you would recommend dealing with guys who stare right at your boobs. I’m 14, and I had that done to be for the first time the other day, and I felt so vulnerable and mortified. It was a public place (Doctor’s waiting room) so I couldn’t exactly scream EYES UP HERE BUD. I was just wondering what’s a good, discrete way to say NO.
Thanks to the fact that I have crazy eyes, my death glares usually do the trick but I still feel compelled to change how I’m sitting. It’s incredibly frustrating, as you all know, to have to move from a comfortable position because one creep feels entitled to stare.
How do you guys all handle this situation? (expand notes for responses)
I would like to state this for the record. I know this won’t work for everyone, but this is what I do.
I call them out on it, and I get vocal. The more public a place, the more people who are around to see and hear it, the better. I will, loudly, call someone a pervert and a creep. I will blatantly tell them that just because my chest is there it isn’t there for them. I will do everything I can, completely unashamedly.
At the end of it, they are the one who looks like a creep and a pervert. All I look like is a girl who just had to deal with some creepy perv. And anyone who makes any negative comment about “the scene” I just caused, they can suck my dick.
I encourage people to do this. Especially in places like doctor’s offices, city buildings, schools—any place that is supposed to be “safe”. Making these motherfuckers feel as awkward and embarrassed as they make us feel is the only way to get them to knock it the fuck off.
Consent
I believe I’ve seen a comprehensive description of consent once before. Figured I’d contribute as it’s a subject that bears repeating.
Consent is:
- Non-coercive: If you’re cojoling, threatening or otherwise trying to “convince” someone to engage in a sexual act with you, you are breaking consent. If you asked 16 times and got 15 No’s and 1 Yes, you still did not adequately obtain consent. Also, you’re a weak individual.
- Not fixed: What I mean by this is you shouldn’t take for granted that after asking once for consent that you now have consent forever. It’s not like landing a gig as a Supreme Court judge. You don’t have consent for life. It should be continuously negotiated.
- Dynamic: Related to the above note, consent for one act does not necessitate consent for all acts. Consent is not an EZ Pass. It should be re-addressed constantly for different acts.
- Conscious: Yeah, I want to believe I don’t have to explain this one. Bad enough I had to list it. But ok, yes, an inebriated/asleep/passed out or otherwise not fully coherent person cannot consent. There, you can’t say no one ever told you.
- Unambiguous/Explicit: Assume all of the following to mean “no.” — “Maybe,” “I’m not sure,” “Not yet,” “Kinda,” “Wait a minute,” …I could go on.
- Not contingent upon sexual interest nor sexual arousal: We know. Blue balls are a motherfucker. Still no excuse. Neither your NOR the expressed/implied interest of any potential partners is an invitation to any act. Also, neither your nor the (assumed) arousal of anyone you might want to have sex with is an invitation. Yes, someone might be aroused and still not want to fuck. Crazy times. I know.
- Not compensatory: Yeah, that dinner and a movie were nice. Still not an invitation to fuck. And if you thought it was, you’re a world class asshole.
- Not something that requires a qualifier: No one needs to explain why they are not granting you consent. No is enough.
Also, don’t forget it’s Enthusiastic: Continue to ask if what you’re doing is okay and ask about how it feels, do not keep going if someone’s apprehensive or anxious or hesitant, PAY ATTENTION to body language and the subtext of words. Enthusiastic means that it’s present, willing, and excited.
Remember this, guys! Safe, Sane, CONSENSUAL! Some of these things are non-applicable to some kinky situations - but, when previously agreed upon as non-applicable, mind you. And also never forget your safe words and safety methods, and, also, that someone can withdraw their agreement to things being non-applicable, ie their preemptive consent!
Forever reblog!
