Thranduil was the parent who dressed Legolas in little baby robes so he always matched Ada

wanting to talk to people is so fucking embarrassing. literally hi it's me again I wanted to have a conversation with you because I think you're fun to talk to. oh god you can just fucking kill me if you want sorry
things that happened to me when i was a woman in STEM:
an advisor humiliated me in front of an entire lab group because of a call I made in his place when he wouldn't reply to my e-mails for months
he later delegated part of my master's thesis work to a 19-year old male undergrad without my approval
a male scientist at a NASA conference looked me up and down and asked when i was graduating and if i was open to a job at his company. right before inquiring what my ethnicity was because i "looked exotic"
a random male member of the public began talking over me and my female advisor, an oceanographer with a pHD and decades of experience, saying he knew more about oceanography than us
things that have happened to me since becoming a man in STEM:
being asked consistently for advice on projects despite being completely new to a position
male colleagues approaching me to drop candid information regarding our partners / higher ups that I was not privy to before
lenience toward my work in a way I haven't experienced before. incredible understanding when I need to take time off to care for my family.
conference rooms go silent when I start talking. no side chatter. I get a baseline level of attention and focus from people that's very unfamiliar and genuinely difficult for me to wrap my head around.
like. yes some PI's will still be assholes regardless of the gender of their subordinates but, I've lived this transition. misogyny in STEM is killing women's careers, and trans men can and do experience male privilege.
Thee kiddos
I'm about to drop the sickest Lord of the Rings theory yet
So plants emit ultrasonic high-pitched "screams" when in distress, the only thing is that they're too high-pitched for humans to hear. However, researchers think that insects and even some mammals might be able to hear them, possibly even dogs.
Elves are known for being extremely in-tune with nature, both in folklore and in Tolkien's works. They're also shown to have senses beyond anything humans can even comprehend, both in terms of eyesight and hearing. They also have extremely long, pointed ears.
So, I raise you this: Can Elves hear plants scream?
you were gone for like 3 years and come out with a black compression shirt and a fresh cut THIS MAN IS A WHORE.
I got a comment today that said smth along the lines of "I didn't wanna be weird commenting on a four month old fic"
Baby, bless your heart but four months isn't old by any means and ao3 isn't fucking instagram. Comment on fics you like, regardless of how old they are! The worst that could happen is you make an author's day. Writing is art, not content.
you think we’re soulmates in every universe? you need to let me go

im sorry i literally cannot get this out of my head since last night
