I'm very eepy and my brain thought this would be funny. Batfam partners reacting to being called daddy (and yes, I mean daddy whether they're a female or male character) during sex.

Royal Men & Their Jewels 1/?
This ring was presented to Frederick, Prince of Wales by his close friend Sir John Chardin.
As well as the three feathers – the symbol of the Prince of Wales – the ring contains a lock of Frederick’s hair, and an engraved inscription from the Aeneid that translates as ‘Your honour, name and praise will endure forever.’

THE ROYAL LIVERPOOL PHILHARMONIC PLATINUM JUBILEE BROOCH
The special jubilee brooch is a collaboration between the Liverpool jewelry firm David M. Robinson and the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Society.
Set in platinum, of course, the brooch’s shape incorporates a stylized musical staff. Round diamond brilliants represent musical notes—specifically, the opening notes of “God Save the Queen.”
The brooch’s scrolling shape also nods to the 1930s Art Deco architectural style of the philharmonic’s building. Additional diamonds set in platinum swirl around a single round white pearl, which DMR describes as “an ode to Her Majesty’s personal style and jewellery collection.”

Qatar Pearls

Joan Crawford’s jewelry by Verger Freres
"This brooch, bracelet, and necklace—created by Parisian jewelry house Verger Frères for Boucheron circa 1935 and acquired by the future Oscar winner soon thereafter—feature 131 cts. of oval-cut aquamarines and 11.5 cts. of round brilliant-cut platinum-set diamonds in 18k yellow gold with rose gold accents. 'If you look at photos of Joan Crawford,' says Stephen Burton, managing director of Hancocks, the London jeweler that now owns the shining trio, 'you’ll see that she wore this suite, or part of it, throughout her whole life.' (That includes in her most famous film, 1939’s The Women, in which she played a husband-stealing perfume-counter girl.) But Crawford wasn’t the set’s only celebrity owner: A year after her death in 1977, Andy Warhol purchased the parure during a sale of her estate." The suite was sold at a Sotheby's NY auction of Warhol's jewelry and watches in 1988. Hancock's of London first auctioned it in 2009. As of 2014, it is owned by Neil Lane Jewelry and featured in a 2014-2015 display at Boston's Museum of Fine Arts.

(TW: Sex mention, genitalia mention)
Anonymous asked: Is it transphobic to want to know if a boy is trans? I feel like no. If he is a boy and has no pp, he should tell me. It’s lying and lying is wrong. But I don’t know. What’s your take?
My dear lgbt+ kid,
Let me ask you a different question: If someone had a unusually small or big penis, would you expect them to tell you?
Probably yes, if they’re about to have sex with you. It could influence the way they have sex, the positions they are comfortable in etc. and it’s good to let you know beforehand, so you can decide if you feel comfortable with that, too, and can give informed consent.
In any other situation, however, you wouldn’t expect them to tell you. You wouldn’t expect them to tell everyone they meet right away - because it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter if your best friend, your teacher, your uber driver or your favorite influencer has more/less inches down there than the average cis-man has. It doesn’t change anything for you and shouldn’t influence the way you treat them. In fact, all those people would rightfully feel horrified if you demanded to know how long their penis is.
You would never call them a liar for not telling you about that, would you? Even if you get in the car and think your uber driver is hot, it’s not their responsibility to tell you “By the way, my penis is X inches” right there. They wouldn’t lie to you by not providing that info - your attraction to them is your business, not theirs. Even if you give them your number and you two start flirting over text, even then you would fully understand that they wouldn’t tell you until things get more serious and they feel safe and comfortable with you.
So, should a person let you know if they have a penis? Only if it’s necessary for you to know. If it’s not necessary, then it’s their decision if they feel comfortable enough to tell you.

My dear lgbt+ kids,
A quick reminder: Activated charcoal is often marketed as “detoxifying” - but it doesn’t actually target the bad stuff only, it just messes with the absorption of everything.
That includes good stuff like vitamins, too. Most importantly, it includes medications (and yes, birth control pills, too)!
It’s best to avoid activated charcoal (no matter if it’s in supplements, foods or drinks) if you take other medications or supplements.
With all my love,
Your Tumblr Dad
PS: Doctors may use it to treat a drug overdose or poisoning but in your everyday life you don’t really need to “detox” anyway. Your body has its own detox systems: your liver and kidneys!
My dear lgbt+ kids,
"The normal amount of pain to be in is zero" can be empowering for someone - and the very same sentence may trigger someone else.
Do you have chronic pain and need a reminder that you deserve to be taken seriously? In that case, it's likely a relieving thing to hear! It counteracts the ways in which people may dismiss your struggles ("Everyone has a headache sometimes, you are just being whiny" etc.).
Do you have health anxiety? In that case, it's likely a scary thing to hear! It may feel like a confirmation of your (subconscious) belief that there is something seriously wrong ("I had a headache the other day, oh no, I knew this is not normal, it must be a brain tumor!")
Is the point of this letter that people with chronic pain shouldn't use this affirmation anymore? No, of course not. It's not so much about this specific sentence at all. I just want to remind you that one and the same sentence can take on a different meaning depending on the circumstances.
In the example above, I used two groups with completely different health issues - but even for two people with chronic pain or two people with anxiety, there will likely be "helpful reminders" that are actually only helpful for one of them. And that also goes for two trans people, two lesbians etc. We do not all benefit from exactly the same pieces of advice.
If people praise one specific affirmation/reminder/advice as super helpful and it actually makes you feel worse, it doesn't mean you are not trying hard enough to think positively or that you don't want to feel better - it probably just means that it wasn't made for your circumstances.
With all my love,
Your Tumblr Dad
