Patrochilles

One of the oldest gay ships in history. Yes, children of the fandom system... these are our roots... our heritage... And now a short poem for the great poet who started it all: Homer, perhaps we'd be in a different world to-day/ had you not made the Iliad so ridiculously gay/ Patroclus and Achilles are in love; I believe it to be true/ for those who deny it or say they're just friends, I know they believe it too

Fangirl Alpha: OMG have you seen the new fanart for Patrochilles?

Fangirl Beta: No?! Send me the link!

Fangirl Epsilon: I don't know how people can deny they are a thing. Achilles calls him 'my Patroclus' WAAAAAY too many times for that to only be subtext.

Fangirl Beta: I know right?!

Stealthie

when you're holding up your phone and making faces at it, as though you are taking a selfie, but you're really taking a picture of the person across from you or the wall or anything else that seems interesting but you don't want to be caught dead taking a picture of.

This action is often made more convincing by wiggling the eyebrows or opening the mouth, to pretend you're trying to get a Snapchat filter to work.

FRIEND A: "Did you just take a stealthie of me?"

FRIEND B (turning phone around): "no I was just using snapchat's new filter, see?"

Grindset

The grindset is a contemporary ideology of self-exploitation disguised as strength, deeply tied to the aesthetics of the “sigma male” and to new digital forms of patriarchy. It promotes the idea that human worth depends on productivity, economic success, absolute emotional control, and the ability to work endlessly, turning vulnerability, rest, community, and tenderness into signs of weakness. Beneath its rhetoric of discipline and power often lies a profound inability to relate healthily to pain, fragility, and human interdependence.

“That’s the grindset, brother. While weak men sleep and complain, sigma males stay disciplined, work in silence, suppress emotions, and build power while everyone else wastes time chasing comfort.”
