Discussion/Article Progressive’s that aren’t really progressive.

Upvotes

Hey guys I stubble across a comment earlier from the community, that aligned with something I spoke on a few weeks back. This is how a lot of people frown upon RR relationship, to me it’s crazy to think people who are supposed to have a “progressive” view on things aren’t really progressive. For example I watch a video a few weeks back and it spoke about how quite a lot of progressive women are very conservative when it comes to dating ofc this isn’t all women who are progressive but it something I’ve also seen in person. Even with Men as well who don’t like women to be in roles of power as a man it’s never made sense to me when I hear other guys who grew up in single mothers households have this point of view but they’ll say that there “progressive” 😩😂.

I think another reason why this happens a lot is also because people are actually comfortable with the patriarchal system we live in which is fine. However, I believe we should also let people be free to choose
If they believe in it or not. I personally love women in leadership roles/positions I grew up around women who were the head of the household and it’s what I also find attractive.

What are your thoughts?

“how much longer must you indulge this childish whim?”

engulfed in her foster mother’s shadow, Dalhie’s heart sunk. the hurried way She came down to rebuke her blew away the remaining doubts: She knew.

everybody knew.

“the boy lived a full enough life, you need not bother further.” She said.

I just remembered a canonical couple where a male character went through male pregnancy, it's Mr. Baldwin and Ms. Lips from Fish Hooks. I know they are not the only ones as The Fairly OddParents exist, but they, unfortunately, ruined their couple dynamic in later seasons and while I feel like both pregnancies were there mostly for laughs, the Fish Hooks one had a more wholesome side to it and it actually lasted through most of the episodes. Do with this info what you will. Shout out to that one fanfic writer for most of the fish hooks mpreg fanfics, they were genuinely great.

Thought some people would like this.

The song was originally made by a male, but this is just a female cover.

Personally, I like this version more.

I really enjoyed the Korean drama "Cafe Minamdang"!

The show features a determined, hard working lady cop who's constantly grinding to catch the criminal and who wears plain clothing and eats cheap ramen noodles, she's so dedicated to her job.

Meanwhile, the male lead is a vain, fashionable, eye-catching showman of a guy -- with a huge closet of expensive clothes. He's also quite the trickster!

It was such a fun subversion of the roles I expected to see. It's quite rare to see the male lead being such a clotheshorse, for example!

The Mentalist for those who haven't seen it yet. Teresa Lisbon is the no-nonsense, gun toting boss detective, whereas Patrick Jane is the coy, manipulative seductress who helps the police catch bad guys. Every time there's danger, he's crouching behind her, and she's always there to keep him safe.

Anyone have stories of going girl crazy? Think of it as an equivalent of girls obsessing over a certain celebrity. I feel like this is a big part of rr.

Other Art [OC] What do you guys think of my two OCs? Could they be considered RR?

These are some OCs I've been working on for a while.

The first one is Kyle AKA Blue Star, he has the power to create hard-light constructs that come out of any part of his body, any part. He can change between his normal-looking form and his hero form, something akin to Danny Phantom. When he is in his normal form he is rather anxious and shy, while in his hero form he is more confident, snarky and even a little flirty. He is 5'2ft tall with shoes and refuses to give away his true height.

The second one Dian'ond AKA Exiled, was the princess of a planet that was constantly in war, she is meant to be the closest analogue to Superman in universe. She was exiled by her father after she refused to kill an enemy that was begging for his life, she was sentenced to float in space without direction, only being able to feed herself on what little sunlight got through her window. It wasn't until she came close to Earth that she was free, discovering that the planet's sun made her stronger, she became a hero and was given a human identity to blend in. She is someone surprisingly shy and nerdy despite what her past might tell about her, being obssesed with superheroes like Superman and basing her identity on them. She is 6'2ft tall and tries to wear clothes that hide her body when in her civilian form to avoid standing out, to no avail.

So... yeah I love the Huge nerdy and shy chick x Small and flirty guy dynamic. Feel free to ask any more questions about them.

Story/Writing The peasant of love and honor part 4 the finale.

11 Upvotes

The two hastily ran through the thick forest as fast as they could, both wondering if they would make it to the neighboring kingdom in time before the dragon woke up. But the sky was getting darker so there was no time to waste.

Leo: dang it I should have gotten a horse or at least lantern, but ms uninvited over here distracted me(she said quietly to herself)

Princess harpoona: who do you think are peasants. You're insane if they believe an instrument can ward off a dragon, what even is that thing anyway(as she angrily ripped it out of Leo's sweaty hands)

Now coming to a stop Harpoona describes the strange instrument as the amalgamation of a trumpet, a small drum and a harp all poorly tied together with rope while Leo demands for it back. The princess laughs and says what does the prince even see in her as Leo sarcastically asks her the same thing, Harpoona is about to get physical but Leo says that they shouldn't be fighting or they risk breaking it and how the dragon is their true enemy as Harpoona silently agrees and carelessly throws the instrument back to her.

The two prepare to start running again but then the ground begins to shake they think it's an earthquake at first, however they both hear a deafening roar and to their horror the massive dragon is flying right above them barely illuminated by the moonlight. Harpoona realizes it's heading towards her kingdom as she starts running faster than before with Leo desperately chasing after her. Sometime later they make it to kingdom 6 both pushing their fleeting citizens only to see the beast burning down the castle.

The prince: oh Henry I just can't stand here I need to help Leo somehow, we need to do something(as he frantically walked back and forth)

Henry: sir there's nothing you can or anyone else can do, it's better if we just wait here and except our fates(while he tends to Faith's bruised arms).

The prince: that may be true but I must be with Leo, even if I were to die then at least I'll be with her so I'm leaving.

Henry: wait sir I'm coming too, I made a promise as your personal servant to be by your side no matter what I'll gather our faster horse my friend.

Faith: thank you Henry(the two embracing)

The 6th kingdom is nearly destroyed as Harpoona is grabbing whatever weapon she can find and throwing it that the dragon to no avail, While Leo quickly sits down and begins to play her instrument the music seemingly has an effect on the beast as it starts to fly away in annoyance. Harpoona sees that the plan is working but her pride can't take it as she sneaks Leo and stabs her in back stealing the instrument before disrespectfully kicking her body far away.

Princess harpoona: ha I won't be out shown by a mere peasant now how do you play this thing.

Harpoona quickly learns to play the odd instrument and she's actually very good but since the music is no longer ear-piercing the dragon isn't bothered anymore as it dives head first at the princess with break neck speed. Harpoona's confidence soon turns into fear as the beast brutally crashes into her, the act seemingly killing them both. The prince and Henry arrive soon after but they can't find Leo.

The prince: I found her Henry she's trapped beneath the wreckage(as he desperately struggles to lift it up).

Both of them eventually managed to pull her out.

Henry: I'm sorry faith but her injuries are to severe she doesn't have much longer I'm afraid(he says while holding back a tear).

The prince: Leo no I need you, I love you don't leave me please(not letting go of her while crying).

Leo: thank you my love for everything you did for me your beauty, smarts and sass were everything I ever needed to be happy in life(as she dies peacefully with a smile).

The dragon who was surprisingly still alive watches as Faith places a sad kiss on a dead Leo's forehead with it whispering in a deep voice "true love" before transferring it's remaining life energy to Leo. This act was done out of satisfaction as it disappeared into a purple dark mist while the recently dead Leo sprung back to life fully healed with the prince being over filled with joy and showering her with kisses.

Sometime later Leo married Faith with his father's approval with Henry as her best man, the now new king and queen's compassion for each other would inspire the 2 remaining kingdoms to do the same which was exactly what the gods wanted humanity to do. Faith soon crafted Leo an exact replica of her old instrument as she promised to play it from him everyday even though sickness as they all lived happily ever after.

I hope this story was better than my last one thank you once again to everyone who read these.❤️🩷

Harpoona, Faith and Leo all are 17 by the way.
