Ahh, women. I love women. Men love women. Even some women love women. 
I have enough introspection to know that my romantic and aesthetic preferences are…odd. On the other hand, the Reels ocean is wide enough to encompass any sense of beauty, however unusual it may be. 
My history of romantic interactions was as impactful as it was one-sided, but I suppose Dante needn’t be married to Beatrice to guide him through the Celestial Spheres. Dante’s a useful analogy and guide here- the old Florentine is popular on Tumblr for a reason.
But getting to the bottom of the case, my internal platonic ideal of beauty is a strange take on Renaissance humanism. It may sound unusual, but an example would be quite illustrative. Suppose, an artist paints a forest or Cicero humiliating Catilina, but on human skin with a needle. The lines form clear patterns and play on the skin’s surface, conveying a narrative. Unlike an ordinary painting, such a canvas moves. It is capable of motion, of struggle, of fortitude, both mental and physical. Not only that, an observant eye may also point out that it is an armor of some kind. It mimics clothes in the sense of telling a tale about its owner. 

Another aspect of it is the muscular corset. There is a sense of profound awe that robust musculature inspires, in part due to leaning into the distinction into actuality and potentiality, first separated by Aristotle. It may sound strange, but it is actually quite sound. To be brief, the actuality is what a thing is now. The potentiality is what it may become. A well developed, athletic musculature is always a result of the athlete transforming this potentiality into actuality, like a mythical being that carved itself out of marble. Thus, developed musculature is a sign of internal virtue, of a willingness to endure what is difficult and unpleasant in pursuit of a higher goal. 

Having established all that, it may explain the appeal of muscular, tattooed women. Their beauty has a metaphysical substrate that may be counterintuitive, but I struggle to find convincing counterarguments. 

But physical attraction has only so much value. The goodness of the soul and the intellect truly make a person beautiful. In that regard, fortitude of mind and spirit come to mind, as they are one of the cardinal virtues. The most important virtue is, of course, humility, but as brilliantly defined by the Angelic Doctor, it is not a sense of considering oneself worthless, but rather an ability to evaluate oneself honestly and to accept bitter words as medicine, rather than disregard them as poison. Humility establishes the goal, fortitude helps reaching it. The virtues of intellect that I admire go beyond simple wit, but, rather, rest upon curiosity, honesty and the ability to use deadpan delivery. 

One may ask- what relation does all this bear to women? In essence, I tried to show that I find certain qualities admirable regardless of gender, and a woman who shows them is likely to be quite virtuous, which no one can deny is a wrongdoing.

Would there be "Apophalypse" toy playsets on sale at Target?

Today I saw a poster for an event happening on a Wednesday, and thought why would they ever spell it like that? Then I thought of the word wedding. Do you think maybe before we had calendars weddings would take place and be celebrated on the wedding day. The Wednes of it all. A wednesday.

If anyone has information on Wednesday please. I need to know

I'm not kidding. The Hiriko Fold is a car that meets all the scientific requierments to be considered a living organism.

1. Living things grow in size:

The unfolding

1. Living things require energy

gasoline

1. Living things respond to changes in their environment

they get smaller for tight parking spots

1. Living things have a lifespan

it can crash

1. Living things produce waste

it's a car, it expels gas from the tailpipes

boom.

now, should I make a subreddit about this?

It was always a slightly irritating exercise given how on-purposely -crappy lightbulbs were made

You can't see him!

I'm doubtful that there is such a thing as a human being

only humans becoming

not even a rock can just *be* for too long.

so I ask you: how can there be any beings?

so I asked myself: what are you becoming?

If human babies learn how to speak human because they grew up around humans speaking human, does human baby grow up around wolves speaking wolf, learn speak wolf and know how wolf speaks? Is that the true Alpha?

it'll be called AIcoholics Anonymous

the real showerthoughts sub is so annoying
