did cinderella ever talk to her man about his faceblindness
#‘i met the perfect woman but it was a special occasion’#'so now wherever she is her makeup and hair are probably different’#'this is my nightmare’
rip prince charming, who had to let the whole kingdom make jokes about his foot fetish for the rest of his life because every blonde with an updo looks basically the same as far as he can tell
they call him prince charming because he’s always really polite to strangers to cover for the fact that he doesn’t know if he’s supposed to recognize them from somewhere and when you’re a prince that shit starts wars
best part of this post is all the people with prosopagnosia confirming that they literally never questioned why the prince was incapable of hiring a sketch artist even in versions without masks/glamours

A had a partner with face blindness for several years. One time it was chilly so I threw on an old sweater I hardly ever wore, but i kept because it was literally the only sweater we could find at the street market in my size one extremely chilly morning in August 1983 in Auvergne and it had good memories despite it’s colour.
I’m a goth. I was a goth then. To my lover, I was a person of a particular size and build dressed in black with the occasional jewel tone and dark hair at a particular length.
The sweater was very much not Goth. It was a pale shade and oversized and nobbly.
We went to Cub Foods, which was a massive warehouse style grocery store. we separated to do our assorted shopping.
He couldn’t find me. He searched with an increasing urgency and rising panic. I oblivious contemplated box macaroni and jiffy mixes as he passed my aisle over and over.
My shopping done I spotted and hailed him, and he looked at me with some confusion, but he knew my voice, my hair, the particular cut of my trousers, picked because they looked good and I could run and fight in them, the shape of my boots. Once he looked closely, he knew it was me, but at a distance all he was seeing was the Wrong Sweater.
We were neither of us publicly demonstrative by nature, but he hugged me so tight in his relief. Once I understood, I felt terrible, and when I wore something uncharacteristic, I made sure he memorized it because I could never forget his terror and relief.
This is how I discovered he was face blind. I was the first person to notice, he’d hidden it so well.
Of course Prince Charming was face blind,

Marcus stopped abruptly in the middle of the grass. A woman in a blue dress was already sitting on the Crisis Bench. He didn’t recognize the dress. She looked up from where she was sitting.
“Sorry,” he said, holding up his hands. “I didn’t think anyone would be over here.” He didn’t think he remembered an introduction to anyone in that dress. It was a memorable sort of a dress. “I believe I ran into your mother inside?” he ventured, because he ran into so many mothers.
“She’s not here,” she said, which was not what he wanted to hear and which he absolutely could not handle at the moment.
“Right,” he said, trying to recover, pretending as if he’d just remembered something. “Your father–”
“We haven’t met,” she interrupted. “I’m not anyone.”
“Oh thank god,” he said, abandoning propriety to collapse onto the bench, dropping his head between his knees. “Thank you.”
“Too many people?” she said sympathetically.
“I’m really bad with faces,” he admitted.
“A lot of people are,” she assured him.
He dragged his hands down his face. “I just confused a Duke with a waiter.”
She bit her lip. “As long as you aren’t rude to waiters, you should be fine,” she said.
“I wasn’t rude,” he said. “I’m never rude. It would have been better if I was rude.” He buried his face in his hands. “I tipped him,” he said, anguished, muffled by his palms. Why had he been dressed like a waiter?
She burst out laughing, loud and with her head tipped back, overwhelming the empty garden. He separated his fingers to stare at her.
“Sorry,” she hiccuped, which immediately descended back into snorts. She laughed like she was hunting for truffles.
“Thanks,” he said, though he almost did feel better. “I’m feeling very supported in my time of need.”
“There’s only one thing you can do,” she said, wiping tears from her eyes, trying to dab at them to not destroy her makeup. Reflexively, he offered her a handkerchief, which she accepted. “You have to flee the country. It’s the only way.” She checked the handkerchief for signs of smeared eyeliner. “Leave your family. Change your name. Get a new family. Never tell them your dark secret.”
“I think my old family might notice if I got a new family,” he said, now resting his chin in his hands, elbows balanced on his knees.
“That’s why you have to burn your house down,” she said matter-of-factly, now holding his handkerchief in a neat fold in her lap. “Just burn the whole thing. Everything but your favorite hat. You leave the hat on top of the ashes for your family to find. ‘This must be him’ they’ll say. ‘He would never have left his favorite hat’. It’s the perfect crime. Once it’s done, you become a pig farmer. Anyone comes around asking questions, you feed them to the pigs.”
“You seem like you’ve put a lot of thought into this,” he observed. “How are your pigs?”
She looked him over sidelong. “Hungry,” she said primly.

oh fuck I thought the intro to today’s Money Stuff was going to be a metaphor for some crypto bullshit but no an actual metals futures market was backed by actual bags of rocks.
JPMorgan Chase thought it had $1.3 million of nickel, but they were all bags of stones. It's happened before.

I am saying this as an independently published author who would not be able to make rent without people supporting my writing: Universal information piracy is an unqualified good for humanity.
I am published (academically) and honestly I have no love for intellectual property restricting access. The only times I was cited was from other people emailing me and asking me to send them my article/thesis because otherwise, they wouldn’t have had access to it, what with journals demanding too much money for access that these people’s institutions did not want to pay for.
There is literally no reason for writing to use a monetization model that relies on paywalling to create artificial scarcity. In my opinion, paywalling any sort of information is inherently unjust.

I suddenly understand why jewelry is expensive
Hopefully people will start to realize why trades in general are so expensive. You’re paying for someone’s experience to make a good finished product that takes skill and years of practice.
However there is also a giant gap that needs to be filled in trades. As people are aging out of jobs like tailors, carpenters, bookbinders, leatherworkers, etc, there aren’t enough young people going INTO the trades to repopulate the jobs.
Please. Please. Consider going into trades.
These are the kinds of jobs people “fall into,” because they aren’t visible, and are never talked about.
Kids never grow up telling people they want to be a bookbinder. They don’t know they even exist. And schools never ever present them as valid options. And if they do talk about them, they are treated as invalid compaired to NFL Linebacker, President, and Brain Surgeon. After all “jewelry maker” is something people do to supplement their “burger flipping” income, and not an extension of blacksmithing.
But that’s the crux of it, isn’t it? Crafting and trade skills are an extension of artistic skills, which are often seen as completely invalid, and a total waist of time.
As the daughter of a professional bookbinder/book restorer, I had to reblog.

[Image Description: A series of photos, black text on a light blue background. First picture: Text reads - “I need your help with a project!” below the text is a stylized frog logo standing. Second picture: Text reads - “Wow you come back after 8 months being m.i.a. asking for help?” The same stylized frog is sitting below the text surrounding by grass and flowers. Text beside him reads - “Yeah. Sorry about that. I didn’t think I’d be gone this long but. life happens.”. Third picture: Text reads - “Okay so basically: I’m in my final semester doing a BFA in graphic design and my capstone project is…Fandoms. I know. Real original. Specifically: Examining how fandom’s function as a vehicle for charity can be further utilized in the United States.”. Fourth picture: Text reads - “Okay sure. Why do you need me? I need you because I need data! Statistics! Cold hard numbers! I have a survey (link below) that I’d like to get as many people as I can to fill out. If you could fill it out + share it with friends/discord servers/distant relatives that would be. the biggest help.”. Fifth and final picture: Text reads - “Thank you! Love ya! (mean it)” The same frog from before stands below the text. It’s eyes are squinted implying a smile and there’s a small heart to it’s right. End I.D.]
I’m doing my senior project on fandoms and their intersection with charity work. I’m trying to get responses from people about their experiences with fandom, If you could share this survey it’d be a huge help
