Thinking about parallels between Ushiromiya moms.

I never think about Kyrie, so I'll focus on parallels between Natsuhi and Eva here because i had this thought for a while. if you have something to add about Kyrie, be my guest.

I'm thinking about how they could've been allies very easily, but can't be because they still, to some degree, believe in patriarchy.

The root of their internal and external conflicts is sexism and patriarchy, Natsuhi was treated and targeted as property and literal trophy by Kinzo because she's a woman (her family had to kind of... sell her to Kinzo... to save the rest of the family...), she's not respected by Krause much because she's a woman, she struggled a lot with accepting Lion because she was taught and told that's she's a failure as woman for being unable to give birth.

And Eva wanted to be acknowledged by Kinzo/still wants to be a successor but not allowed that because she's a woman, she constantly was reminded by Krause that he's successor because he's first child and man, so no matter what Eva do she cannot win successor position and kinzo affection (if she wanted it at that point, it's complicated to me how much her desire for successor title stems from wanting to have power and being ambitious, or wanting to be approved by kinzo and genuinely thinking she could help the family).

Yeah, out of the context of their relationship, you could think that they really could bond over all of the suffering from sexism that they're endured, but no, actually they're not friends because patriarchy :(

Natsuhi upholds gender norms and trying to make Jessica behaving the way that just not comfortable for her. Throughout the series it's highlighted numerous times, that Natsuhi (and Krause) trying to make Jessica talk in feminine way. Eva still trying to get title of the Ushiromiya head, but at that moment not because "woman can be head of the family!" but rather "i deserve to be a head of the family even though I'm a woman". She internalised all sexist and misogynistic messages but her goal haven't changed. She belittle Natsuhi, Rosa, Shannon etc, using sexist insults, that she herself was victim, to harm other women. She trying to uphold herself by tearing other women down........#girboss

(Also worth noting here, Natsuhi being strict with Jessica partially because worrying that Eva make George steal Jessica's title, which like, Jessica don't want that title to begin with, but any way, it is worth to remember that that Natsuhi could've been much softer if she didn't feel pressure of Ushiromiya family title as a whole and Jessica's future responsibilities, and wasn't constantly attacked by Eva about Jessica's behaviour. Eva trying to actively force George to be a family successor for her own revenge, and i don't have much to say about it, except that she do want George to be happy, she just......very........confused.....)

They really work for me as parallels, Natsuhi's core reason and motivation for all her actions it's a wholehearted devotion to her family, which is very yamato nadeshiko (Japanese traditional wife), while Eva being copybook definition of girboss. Both outcomes of sexism, both born as the way to cope and make sense of it (patriarchy), and both clashes off eachother when met.

[ Girlboss is a neologism which denotes a woman "whose success is defined in opposition to the masculine business world in which she swims upstream". She's the confident and capable woman who is successful in her career, or the one who pursues her own ambitions, instead of working for others or otherwise settling in life. The term is conversely used with sarcastic and pejorative undertones, to denote women who attempt to raise their professional lives by practicing the same abusive and materialistic practices found in the patriarchal society. ] <- tell me this isn't Eva.

If you still reading this, thank you, and now i can finally write the reason why i started writing it, a little fun detail.

This page.

[Short id of the situation/ Natsuhi telling everyone to stay in the room, since she believes culprit is outside. Eva agrees, formulating it in a "it's better if we watch eachother in this room"way, because Eva believes culprit is inside this very room]

This. The way they drawn reminded me of Ange's line. I don't remember it word by word but something among the lines: "you can't see things with one eye, you need to look from different angles, form different perspectives. One eye is affirming, another judging, that way you can see the witch."

And it just further make me see them as parallels. Natsuhi is affirming, because she trusts the family and the servants to the last, she can no longer ignore the evidence when she has to protect Jessica, and even then she apologizes since part of her believes that they are innocent. Eva is judgmental because she's suspicious of literally everyone except for those she deems too weak to be a threat or a few trusted ones. It's the matter of trust/"love", Natsuhi trust/"love" quite everyone, which is easy to see in first game, when it obviously painful for Natsuhi to suspect them, at the same time, she trust family significantly more, and trust them literally to the moment she killed, even though she acknowledging that they're greedy and almost shot Eva. Eva, on other hand, default mode is distrust and suspicion, i can't even name any of times, there's too much of them.

My point: patriarchy sucks for everyone (women&men) and they portraying the different ways to live with that. Also, Natsuhi cool.

If Anakin tries to somehow convince Leia that he is her father post-ROTJ, I would like Leia to start citing Alderaani sperm donor law at him that states he is explicitly not her father.

#leia organa #bail organa #anti anakin #anti anakin skywalker #anakin critical #anakin skywalker critical #look i don't know sperm donor laws or anything #but i am deciding that there is a law in alderaan that somehow classifies anakin as a sperm donor and not officially a father #obviously bail and breha would've had to file certain paperwork to make leia's adoption seem not suspicious so #it's OFFICIAL presumably #to some degree #anakin: i am your FATHER and you will ADDRESS ME AS SUCH #leia: you might have destroyed my planet but our records still exist and this here document says you're legally not #leia: now get the fuck away from me before i figure out how to legally get a restraining order against a ghost #leia: if a law does not yet exist to get a restraining order against a ghost then i will MAKE ONE

[random-kazakh-stuff]

Hi! I have followed you for a while and I'm so glad you chose to make this blog and share about your culture. You share so many details that would be difficult to learn about outside of first person experience, especially with the lack of resources about Kazakhstan and Kazakh culture in English.

I am especially grateful for this right now. I have an assignment for a class where I need to right 1000 words about a country I want to go to, and specifically about the deep culture (people’s attitudes, beliefs, and core values, including attitudes towards gender, social status, age, raising children, perception of time, the role of family) and classroom and educational culture.

I am going to dig through your blog and some other Kazakhstan focused blogs on here as one part of my research, and I hope you're okay with me citing you as a source! Additionally, if there's anything more you would like to share about these topics that you think I should include, I would be super grateful for your contribution! It's not a super academically rigorous assignment, but I want to represent Kazakh & Kazakhstani culture well.

Appreciate you so much, hope you have a wonderful day!

Oh wow!!

This is! Unexpected I would say!

First of all I would like to say thank you. Sharing information about my country's culture and history that would usually be unreachable in English was part of the reason why I made this blog, and I am thankful that it inspired so much interest from you.

Also sorry. I might be a bit late to join into your assignment. But, I think one of the main topics I don't usually share about on this blog is the modern state of Kazakhstan as a political space? That's mostly because it is so hard to describe.

Today's Kazakhstan is like waves in the sea. Constantly changing, no direction and always in the same one at once.

Outside mainstream media tends to mainly ignore Kazakhstan in favour of reporting on our more active neighbours, but when it does report it is mainly news like the Bloody January or the continuous autocracy of our government.

But inside it is just a life you know? There is a rise of religious schooling in the south, and the rates of domestic violence don't seem to change, but there are more people disgusted by it, and tenge is always falling.

The thing is, Kazakhstan is in a point in it's history where something will inevitably happen. It is undeniable by just looking at history's own old and recent examples. Which is why it is so hard to describe how Kazakhstan seems to be going both forward and backwards, Westernizing and holding onto Soviet values and Traditional values at the same time, youth becoming more open-minded but also kore religious.

It is a mess.

I usually agree with you but please stop involving random people and getting shocked when they don’t take it well

maybe random people should stop trying to act like they're the arbiters of what male SA victims REALLY go through

#I didn't try to seek her out I was responding to someone else having that take knowing they platformed some of the things i was criticizing #I never imagined she'd see my one reply in a 1k+ note post #but whatever #and YES I know I'm being stupid and unreasonable today #To some degree #but I'm pissed that A) that male victims are just whiny liars post is going around #and B) that no one cares to actually understand my point into how that rhetoric is used as a springboard

Dean, glaring across the table:

Bela, smirking at the glare, feet on said table:

Sam, sitting there looking between them awkwardly:

Bobby, done with them already: You two clearly have some tension you need to work out.

Dean: There is no tension at all. Everything's fine.

Bela, ignoring him: I have offered angry sex, but all he said was not to objectify him.

Sam, sputtering: What!?

Dean: You were serious about that?

Bela: Always am.

Dean:

Dean: Bobby, you got a room?

Bobby: I wish I didn't.

im gonna be so honest im not seeing this epidemic of people taking every bad thing that happens in a show or piece of media as endorsement by the author. ive seen it in rare occasions for media i wasnt familiar with so i couldn't even really judge whether the person had a grain of truth to what they were saying or not, and every other time someone says "hey this is suss" about something lo and behold the creator does in fact have weird ass views that theyre expressing through their chosen form of media, even if its not that extreme.

also ive seen people twist folks revulsion with an aspect of media as the assumption they must think the author endorses it which is SUCH a leap. if someone goes "ew theres X in this Y story" 99% of the time its just a preference. everyone has those.

#angel posts #i hate seeing posts debating it bc i really do feel like the issue is overblown #like. most of the time when people say ''does the other endorse #to some degree #X Y Z" #its like. a form of bigotry #the lack of nuance/middle ground on this from people who believe themselves to have a perfect understanding #of this phenomenon annoys the shit out of me #i dont think ive ever seen someone say shit like oh a woman is killed in this that means this man believes women should be killed irl #like thats a logical leap that. like it doesnt make sense AAAAAHHHHHH

Oh yeah Mys doesn’t really care for gridball. Not that it’s personal or intense, she just isn’t a sportsy person. Still, Shane takes her to games all the time, she has no real prolonged interest in the game but engages for him. Sometimes she doesn’t even have to engage, Shane gets absolutely lost in the thrill of it all. She pays way more attention to him than to the game itself. She likes the way that he starts to jump and cheer, when he explains the play of the game to her, and the excited stolen kisses when something extra special happens. His excitement becomes hers, and, for that time, she’s a fan.

Fortunately, she doesn’t have to enjoy the sport to enjoy the happy moments it brings. Still, she thinks it’s very funny she fell in love with an ex gridball player.

So, this popped up on my Pinterest

And I’ve never in my life been able to express this so clearly

I don’t hate kids, I actually kind of like them, I like my nieces and nephews, and I don’t mind baby sitting and playing with them, but when I was 11 and was put in charge of all of my cousins who ranged from less than 1 year younger to 8 years younger than me, I hated it, I hated being the oldest, I hated being the oldest girl cause I can tell you right now my only other cousin who was put in charge of “watching the kids” was my female cousin who was six months younger than me, but my male cousin who was 8 months younger, nope, nothing for him, he’s just a kid

I told everyone my entire life that I never wanted to have kids, meaning I don’t want to be a bio parent, and that’s because

1: I’m terrified of pregnancy, mine, someone else’s, fuck I get creeped out by pregnant seahorses at the aquarium, I hate it, it definitely doesn’t help that I spent my whole hearing stories of how everyone in my family had the most awful pregnancies with tons of complications, there has yet to be a child born in the last two generations in my family that wasn’t a c section because of complications, anyway, literally terrifies me, it’s a legitimate phobia that I have talked to my therapist about, she told me that it’s phobia level bullshit in my brain

2: I hate babies, like I think kids are cool and I can chill with kids over the age of two, but infants, fucking babies, absolutely not, I fucking hate them, I don’t want to be around, I don’t want to hold them, fuck that, I’m immune to baby fever cause every time I’m in ten feet of one I can’t stop thinking get it away from me, I just fucking hate them

But, I was told every single fucking time I said I don’t want kids “you’ll grow out of it” “you’ll change your mind when you get older” “everyone says that when they’re young” and my absolute favourite “you’re too young to know”, my family, particularly my grandmother, also said every time “your mother said the same, but she changed her mind too”

My mother didn’t change her mind, she didn’t want kids, at the very least, not when she had me, my parents weren’t even married when my mom found out she was pregnant with me, and they weren’t planning on doing anything like kids or marriage for a long time, but one little accident later and he entire life was turned on it’s head, I know she loves me and doesn’t regret what she did, but I also know she still wonders what life would have been like if they hadn’t ever had me, and every fucking time my grandmother says that it makes me want to scream

For fucks sake, when my great grandmother started telling me to give her some more grand babies before she dies and I reminded her I I am sixteen, and also gay, she told me “well that’s why they got that artificial insemination”

What the fuck, I was sixteen, I should have been focused on school, or sports, or having fun, this bitch wanted me to be a fucking teen parent

#fucking bullshit man #never gonna fucking have kids #maybe I’ll adopt some older kids or something if my partner(s) are interested #and we’re financially stable #and if I’ve at least addressed my own issues and can recognise and control my own reactions and responses #to some degree #I know I won’t be perfect at ever #but I’d like to be good enough that I can recognise when I’m overwhelmed or upset and take a step away #anyway #i’m done ranting #patriarchy #parenting #pregnancy #ew #family #fuck that #tagging #I’m done tagging now
