Teach boys about periods

My mother also talked about periods to my brothers.

When I first got mine I had terrible cramps. Crippling cramps. I once was camping with my family and a few of my big brother’s friends when my period came. My cramps were so bad that my mom gave me a full pain killer ( I was 13 and before that she only gave me pills cut in half).

I literally laid down on my parents’ air mattress and cried in pain for an hour before the pill kicked in.

My brothers friend came in to the big tent and I was just curled up and sobbing. Now, I was quite the tomboy and was known to rough house with my brothers and their friends and made sure I wasnt seen as just “a little girl.” So my brother’s friend was confused to see me openly weeping in the fetal position (seriously, these were the worst cramps I have had in my life. My vision went white). He asked what was wrong with me.

My big brother stood up immediately and suggested a nice long hike. During this hike I am sure he had a pretty awkward conversation with his friend explaining menstrual cramps, because when they got back the pain pill had (mostly) kicked in and I was sitting up at a table when my brother’s friend sheepishly asked me if I was feeling better. I said I was better, and he said good.

When we made s'mores that night my brother and his friend kept me well supplied with chocolate.

Making sure sons know as much about periods and menstruation as daughters makes them better brothers, better sons better fathers, and better men. A man that understands a period will not lightly accuse a woman of “being on her period” if the woman is in an argument.

Raise better sons Teach them about normal bodily functions.

MIWeek 2022 Day 7

I would be honored to share with the class, gather round... i suppose??

To be honest, I’m excited to have a new monkey island game come out this year (hopefully!) The first trailer felt like a good sign and the second trailer just kept giving me the same giddy feeling. There’s a lot of talk and suspecting of what the new game is going to contain. I see a lot of people and where their attitudes lie on this new entry. It’s interesting and I think I can understand their skepticism, but I’m just excited.

Seriously, I heard the theme and guybrush’s voice and I couldn’t help but start grinning like an idiot. 

side note: sad that this is the last day of Monkey Island appreciation week but, I raise my bottle of grog to next year’s week of Monkey Island! Cheers!

MI Week 2022 Day 6

Wowee, can't believe I've made it this far ^^; well, we're all here for the post. Today I wanted to share this. It's my first ever drawing of guybrush way back in 2021. During the quarantine I guess learning about games turned into loving games. The monkey island games were the first video games that I actually wanted to play for myself. I've learned a lot about the games from countless video essays and have fallen more and more in love as I kept playing.

I'm proud to know a really amazing game and see amazing things from it!! Im proud and happy I can give a little appreciation to a really cool series.

MIWeek 2022 day 5

Ummmm, this one is a bit of a head scratcher. Lechuck’s just been a really cool villain and he’s been a someone that feels right in his many different forms. But to me, he’s always been a goofy guy to contrast the goofy guy-brush. pfft I know but I think I’ve narrowed it down…

First, HIM. Dunno, I think this felt truly like he cared for Elaine. The introduction of him in the beginning, the sort of longish love confession to her is charming. Honestly and her outright refusal shows how his undying love and persistent Lechuck is to have his way. I like his spirit, it’s nice he continues to have it from game to game.

Second, HIM

Ok, tales Lechuck is because of personal reasons. BUT, pushing aside those reasons, he’s so convincing. It’s nice to see a fresh face of Lechuck, and one not rotting away as well. Look at the big dumb grin, it’s just sooo goofy. It’s a new status and I really got convinced of him being human, well that and being a cool, like able character. and then he stabs me in the heart but we don’t talk about that hehe

MIWeek day 4

Ok I’m thinking we can do this three different ways

Guybrush makes his own. Guybrush does a rubber chicken with a pulley in the middle and a real-ass goddamn pirate sword on it. Definitely gold and red highlights on the flag.

I’m thinking like a memento to his time back on melee, so like I’m thinking of the “I beat the swordmaster of melee island” T-shirt.

My personal favorite…. Guybrush glued Murray to a flag and stuck him there as a flag of terror and possible lookout.

As you can tell, I am COMPLETELY serious, deathly if you will. A flag’s gotta mean something. Could his flag mean death??!?

MI Week 2022 Day 3

If we open ourselves to mixing in other piratical franchise, I am so down. Our Flag Means Death x Monkey Island??? It’s a goodie, welcome to my Tedtalk on why…

If we have Guybrush as our main man Stede Bonnet, I propose Elaine to being Blackbeard. Izzy is replaced by Lechuck. Guybrush and Elaine get their own dynamic of trying to understand each other’s worlds. Leizzy ( no no that feels so wrong) protests the idea because he’s in love with Elaine!

Side note: I haven’t completely finished OFMD but….. having this with Monkey island means the ending of Chapter 4: The Trail and Execution of Guybrush Threepwood could be played for laughs (or more like I don’t want to be punched in the feels at the end of that game)

Uhhhhhh Largo. I want largo back, seeing as this is a continuation of Lechuck’s Revenge. I would love for him to be the governor or first mate to Lechuck once more… I mean,

“Where you go, on sea or land, you can’t ever hide from Largo Lagrande!”

Guybrush could be back against the wall against some pirates on Scabb and we get approached by Largo himself. He could decked out in riches and surrounded by lackeys.

Day Two: Returning Cast

With the new game announced, that means some of our faves are coming back. Some were announced, others weren’t, so the question now remains: which favorite side character of yours would you like to see in Return to Monkey Island?

MIWeek2022 day 1

I don’t have many gripes with this new version of Guybrush, it’s a new take and I’ll take it! Love that we are still keeping his fashionable blue coat and that it feels like he’s grown up a bit from the angular-ness of his face. Reminds me of curse.

Just the hair… Ive always loved him having that “ocean wavey” hair or a little curl to it.

I can’t argue with the new look… but now I’m conflicted on beanpole guybrush or this little guy !! :]

Venture Bros: Hades

Ahoy my fellow Buccaneers! I’m here yet again to say that yes, I am doing that thing again where we celebrate for a week the point and click pirate-y series, Monkey Island!

Just like last time for an entire week, from July 3 to July 9, there will be prompts to do for fun and a way to share what you love about the series with either art, writing, meta, gifs or what have you! There are no wrong answers, just have fun being the creative pirates you all are.

I’ll be peeking around both the monkey island tag as well as MIWeek2022 so be sure to tag your work!

Until then, happy sailing!

FUCK. honestly just FUCK. We missed a very important day yesterday.

#JusticeFor is for black victims of police brutality how dare y’all use it for a wife beater

So, there's apparently research coming out now about microplastics being found in people's bloodstreams and the possible negative effects of that and I feel the need to get out ahead of the wave of corporate sponsored "be sure to recycle your bottles!" or "ban glitter!" campaigns and remind everyone: It's fishing nets. It's fishing nets. It is overwhelming fishing nets It always has been fishing nets. Unless regulations are changed, it will continue to be fishing nets. The plastic in the ocean in largely discarded nets from industrial fishing. The microplastics are the result of these nets breaking down. The "trash islands" are also, you guessed it. Mostly fishing nets and other discarded fishing industry equipment. Do not allow them to continue to twist the story. Do not come after disabled people who require single use plastics. Do not come after people using glitter in art projects and makeup. These things make up a negligible amount of the issue compared to corporate waste, specifically in the fishing industry. Do not let them shift the blame to the individual so they can continue to destroy the planet and our bodies without regulation.

In another timeline, their roles are reverse.

It's May 4th.

Time to remind everyone that this was a thing in a galaxy far far away.

Time to remind everyone that Guybrush Threepwood was a jedi and canonically fought Darth Vader.

Happy Guybrush Threepkiller Day.

May the Fourth be with you.
