I was gifted this refrigerator magnet by a friend in 1997 and yes I have put it on every fridge in every house I’ve lived in for the past 23 years.
This is precisely why Tumblr is the best social media platform. Y’all get it and you are my people.

everytime I go onto your blog I go a little insane "it's either gay or it's feudalism" what doES THIS MEAN??
History, especially the history of sexuality, is incredibly fluid and hard to pin down! The very way we think about love and sex and social bonds is constantly changing.
One of my big historical interests is the middle ages, and when I was telling people about how different medieval gender and sexuality was, I got to talk about bed-sharing and kissing in the middle ages, where kissing someone was often done to show your superior status to them (like a king kissing a knight), and we talked about how people who WERE what we’d now consider gay or lesbian often used the mores of their era as a way to hide in plain sight because while some knights just DID platonically marry another knight and pledge to love him for the rest of their days and there was nothing sexual about it… sometimes it was sexual too.
But it’s really hard to tell. So at one point @trans-cuchulainn said, “and, like, I think it’s gay, but it could also just be. feudalism. so.“
And that kind of dorkery and history and ambiguity is RIGHT UP MY ALLEY.
“it’s either gay or it’s feudalism” is the most succinct summary I’ve ever made of ‘Bisclavret’ by Marie de France tbh
Wig do you guys have a source for the knights marrying each other ?
The literal church term for it is adelphopoiesis, a “brother-making” ceremony; it was celebrated in the Roman Catholic tradition until the 14th century, and the Eastern Orthodox tradition until about a hundred years ago. The Wikipedia article, as you can see, focuses a lot on Orthodox sources getting VERY OFFENDED that it’s compared to gay marriage.
But when you actually look at queer readings of the ceremony, it…. really sounds kind of gay!
i pretty much always prefer platonic to romantic relationships and i still want to see the story of two medieval Useless Gays and their hilarious mutual pining as they prepare to get Best Friends Married while both feeling bad for not being totally honest with their respective best bros, but not wanting to make it weird by bringing their crushes into it either
aND THEY SHARE A MUTUAL CONFESSOR
LIKE THEY GO TO CONFESSION ONE AFTER ANOTHER. “FATHER I MUST CONFESS I HAVE LUSTFUL FEELINGS FOR MY SWORN BROTHER”
AND THE CONFESSOR IS FORBIDDEN TO BREAK THE SEAL OF CONFESSION AND JUST T E L L T H E M
HE JUST MAKES HINTS THAT DISTURB AND CONFUSE BOTH OF THEM SO THEY BOTH THINK HE’S HITTING ON THEM
OH MY GODDDDDD I WANT IT
i kiss my cats on the top of their little heads to show them that i am superior to them in this household and also that their widdle faces are so cute and i wuv them

Mf that’s an ice pop
My good bitch, that is called a push pop
That’s a candy.
THESE ARE FREEZIES, FAM-
No-
Yes. Yes.
No
Yes, you can’t tell my otherwise-
Fine
Otter pops bc the otter decals on the container you buy them in
ice tubes that taste nice.
fuckin’ “ice tubes” I’m going with that one.
THEYRE FUCKING POPSICLES OH MY GOD ITS NOT THAT HARD
no. these are popsicles.
those are ice pops, you idiots (affectionate)
Those are otter pops and I will fight someone over that
they are ice cream <3
They’re not ice cream! They don’t even have cream in them!!!
THEY’RE FREEZIES YOU IDIOTS (affectionate ofc)
*angry noises* THESE ARE POPSICLES IDIOTS (also affectionate <3)
Popsicles have a stick, these don’t, and I will fight you behind a 7-Eleven over this.
Well I’m from Midwest America, where anything frozen with fruit flavors that don’t have cream ARE POPSICLES AND I’M DOWN FOR THE 7-ELEVEN FIGHT!
I’m from freaking WISCONSIN!!!!!! THEY’RE FREEZIES AND I WILL FIGHT YOU!
They are definitely ice pops (which is different from a popsicle).
ok so i asked my friends on discord and got these responses
nobody else responded
so i guess nobody kknows what they’re really called.
Wisconsinite here, top ones are otter pops and bottom ones are popsicles
Sorry, Jolie, as a Floridian with roots in Michigan, I can confirm that my people call those popsicles.
unrelated but thanks for using my name, the first time I experienced regional difference discourse people were being extremely rude to me, called me names and such, so this more light-hearted joking tone is welcome
that being said, YOU’RE WRONG. the top ones are otter pops because that’s the brand name and so to distinguish between flavoured ice on a stick and flavoured ice in a pouch, it’s otter pops and popsicles. HOWEVER, I do sometimes just call the top ones popsicles if those are the only ones available, or I know the people around me dont know the term ‘otter pops’ which they should but whatever-
I- I call them icy pops…
We call those water ice. Cuz it is just frozen water with color. The company selling these is called Bussy Bear. A blue bear is on the packaging.
