She's so brilliant in the few scenes she has, and manages to convey that she's really trying to keep the peace for the sake of younger generations of both sides, same as Vander, that she probably doesn't agree with how things are done and is willing to be a mediator and a mentor. I'd love to see how she came to be and how she influenced Vander's frail peace mindset and probably might have been one of the reasons of Vander and Silko falling out.

I've been wondering, why do so many female fantasies revolve around werewolves, beasts that could rip them apart in an instance, with zero impulse control and anger issues... And then it dawned on me that they are the simple, distilled depiction of how some women see their male partners. There's a person, he has personality, aspirations and complex relationships, he is capable of caring and loving, and then there's a man inside him, and all his masculinity manifests in is something to carefully make your peace with, a wild animal, a natural disaster that you're stuck in a room with.

Even if one doesn't realise it, even if the man doesn't have that side at all, it is something etched in us from childhood. We expect cruelty and we expect that we'll be able to make our peace with it, sooner or later. And in our fantasy we want it to have an excuse, "he can't control himself" is the phrase from real life, and fantasy adds "because it's full moon". Danger from him is compensated with danger he can protect from, absent in real life. Female power fantasy is surviving the storm that a man is to reveal a person, which is exactly what Beauty and the Beast is about.

Maybe it was obvious to all but me but since I saw it I've been thinking about it and wanted to share

I remember when Despasito, Shape of You, Thunder, Bad Guy went viral: they were playing from every trashcan, now I don't know any more songs like this and wherever I go they only play old stuff like party rock anthem and some obscure pop. Do songs just not go viral in the same way anymore?

Edit: some commenters mentioned songs that did in fact go viral, I thought I'd list them here

• old town road by Lil Nas X

• Birds of a Feather by Billie Eilish

• APT by Rose and Bruno Mars

• Ordinary by Alex Warren

• Golden from Kpop Demon Hunters

• Industry Baby by Lil Nas X

• world's smallest violin by AJR

I bloody love crumpets, I think they're one of the greatest things in British cuisine and I think they would fit right in the menu of breakfast sets, sandwiches and muffins but I've been all over the place from Kent to Scotland and haven't seen a single cafe that would serve them, what is going on?

You know. Husband trying to have sex and wife saying "not today, headache". They're always served as "evil woman being a hag and denying a man his basic need just because she's hormonal and hysterical, he'll cheat on her and it's her fault".

This is just what happens when men are "not into politics" and also have zero empathy for their wife. They don't even want to hear about women's struggle with sexuality in the modern society or even about her struggle in particular, they don't want to make sure she's safe and relaxed, they don't care what she likes.

I'm sure many women have negative experiences with intimacy and feel that if they try to talk about it to their partner they will be dismissed because it's "woke feminist agenda". To me it's either a man who can listen to all I have to say from a feminist point of view or 4B
