As much as I love the fact the incest vibe between Ashley and Andrew was so undeniable that even their mom noticed it and just could not believe that they WEREN'T screwing already, the way she acts like wanting to fuck her is the ONLY reason Andrew could ever have to side with her and sacrifice their parents to the demon pisses me off the more I think about it.

Renee literally made Andrew parent Ashley, went out of her way to make it so Andrew was the person she'd rely on for any kind of emotional support, had them share a bedroom their whole lives, then literally sold them and did not give a fuck that they would starve and die in a cruel way, having no one but each other to turn to during that torture because they could not leave the apartment.

Yet she's surprised that Andrew not only resents her, but also feels a sense of obligation to Ashley and actually cares about her in his own fucked up way - aka she failed to do as a parent because she simply could not be bothered.

She simply doesn't understand the basic concept that Ashley could have any vallue as a person, even for someone that was forced to stand by her side his entire life. She doesn't accept that Andrew could ever resent HER for everything he had to endure instead of just blaming Ashley and no one else. She doesn't get that they are trauma-bonded because she doesn't believe she traumatized the fuck out of both of them.

Also the NERVE and complete lack of self-awareness this woman has for calling Andrew disgusting for the incest, even though it was all caused by her own screw ups as a parent. Again, they slept in the same bedroom, their whole lives - childhood, adolescence and first years of adulthood. Then she had them be locked up in the apartment together. Alone. Even though she was already getting weird vibes from them for a while.

She's practically forcing them to cross that line, then gets mad when she thinks they actually did it.

I saw this anti-Kataang post saying Katara is 14 going on 25 and Aang is 12 going on 8. And honestly this really pissed me off, the invalidation of Aang’s trauma and the adultification of Katara honestly grosses me out. It’s such a shameful mischaracterization and flanderization of both characters. Zutara stans like these are such fake fans, they don’t care about the show, they don’t care about Katara just their own fanfic version of Katara they can project onto.

https://www.tumblr.com/linnoya-writes/708121534055759872/kataang-but-its-only-a-2-year-age-difference?source=share

imma be real this is the weirdest shit I ever read 😭

“Aang plays with Momo while the other kids drink TEA like sophisticated ADULTS and play GAMES that require CRITICAL THOUGHT !!!! REEEEE”

Aang knows how to play pai sho…… we literally saw him playing it in book 1 episode 12: The Storm…. Fuckin moron @ OP 🤦🏻‍♂️

Also the weird commenting on what Aang would theoretically know about genitalia and sex is … odd…. And it’s also so strange to me that people think Aang would be some naive idiot who knows nothing about the world let alone about sex at his age.

The air nomads were very sexually open in ways that none of the other cultures are in ATLA. This is canon. They were a sexually free people, lol. So saying that Aang would have no concept of these things because he’s too “immature” to know about it is not aligning with what we know of his people and culture. We also know that Katara and Aang married and had a child together when they were pretty young, so… this whole argument is so strange lmao. Adding onto this, Aang traveled the world and frequently at that and we can assume he did so solo. He had way more life experience and knowledge by the age of 12 than Katara or Sokka combined, who had never even set foot outside their village. If any of these two characters is naive about sexuality and all it encompasses, it would in fact be Katara…. Who grew up in a village without men aside from her brother… lol. Aang traveled everywhere, he probably was friends with plenty of girls and I’m sure Katara wasn’t his first kiss, either given these facts.

Their argument is “Aang doesn’t know about female anatomy” which is implying he is unfit to date her on the grounds he couldn’t “please” her. However, as I already showed, this would very likely not be the case given Aang’s culture and people and everything we know of his life pre iceberg.

If anyone doesn’t know about sex and genitalia, it would be Katara. 100%. She literally grew up in an isolated village with no males aside from her brother. She would have virtually no concept of male puberty or male anatomy. Lol. So what’s the argument here? Is Katara now “unfit” for Aang because she grew up isolated from men? See how easy that was to flip their bullshit? 😭

And no, the point isn’t whether he knows or not, OP. The only reason anyone is considering this in the first place is because you argued the point. Yknow, because normal people don’t rlly think about this in regards to cartoon characters.

It’s honestly so bizarre to me how ppl act like Aang is the naive, stupid and sheltered child in the show when in reality, Aang was already self sufficient as a 12 year old. He traveled, cooked for himself and cared for himself during said travels, he knew of other cultures intimately, he knew a lot of history, he was already a master of his native element, etc…. That doesn’t sound like a naive child to me. Aang doesn’t act silly and goof off because he’s stupid. It’s both an aspect of his carefree personality and also a conscious choice and coping mechanism from trauma and grief and survivors guilt.

And anyway, Katara thinks of Aang’s carefree nature in a very positive light. She likes this about him.

I’m also never gonna understand the argument of “she grew up in war” as if Aang didn’t fight alongside her in that very war as a kid, too. Yeah, he had 12 years before that, but who gives a fuck? He also suffered far more loss than Katara or anyone for that matter, and that is objective fact.

To celebrate pride month I’m gonna get myself cancelled by saying my sexuality headcanons for DC characters! Most of which I know pretty much nothing about! Please don’t kill me :D

This is a long post and NONE of this is canon. I have very little knowledge on any of these guys these headcanons are based purely on vibes and it’s all for fun so take it with a jar full of salt.

Bruce/Batman:

He would be bi. I have no doubt about it. His Brucie persona would be very open about it, flirting with potential sponsors at galas no matter the gender to convince them to donate more to his charity as well as flirting with the reporters just to spread the rumors that he's a playboy. As Batman he’d be much more quiet about it. He never talks about himself so no one knows anything about him. No one ever realizes he is bi until he reveals his identity and as one of the most prominent openly bisexual celebrities in the world, they realize right away.

He was born a man and understands and supports transgender people but he never thought too hard about it for himself and is very confident in his gender being male. He is comfortable with being feminine at times without it reflecting his gender and sometimes dresses in drag for photoshoots and paparazzi.

Diana/Wonder Woman :

She lived in a society of exclusively women where lesbian was the default. You either liked women, or you liked no one at all. She was the latter for many years until she met Steve and then she felt something strange for the first time. It took her a long time to realize it was love and that she was only attracted to men which is why she never felt anything for the women in her previous home.

When she hears about transgender people she’s a little bit offended by people ‘deciding’ not to be a woman at first but that’s because she misunderstood the concept. After a bit of explaining she not only accepts it, but becomes a huge ally and will defend their rights fiercely. She has never considered she would be anything but female and is incredibly confident in her own gender.

Clark/Superman:

He’d be just a tiny bit bi but he doesn’t know since he never put much thought into it and much prefers women anyway. He gets a bit uncomfortable when people talk about lgbtq+ things since he doesn’t understand it but he supports it anyway and will fly over pride parades with various flags given to him by Bruce.

He knows transgender people exist but doesn’t understand that being trans is an possibility for him specifically. It just never crossed his mind. When asked his pronouns he says “I’m a man :)” and he’s so kind about it and clearly trying so most people just smile and nod and don’t bother explaining that that isn’t an answer.

Barry Allen/Flash:

He definitely experimented in college and wasn’t exactly opposed, but romantically he is only into women and after marrying Iris he had no reason to keep trying new things. He loves his wife and that’s all that matters. When Wally comes out to him as gay he’s very supportive but doesn’t understand much and promptly researches every single lgbtq+ label in existence.

He doesn’t fully understand transgender stuff but he’s trying really hard. Right now he’s too busy memorizing the names and flags of every sexuality. Check back in a few weeks when he realizes theres more to it than that and actually pays attention to things like transgender rights and homophobia. He will be a changed man and a fierce ally, trying hard to shed light on these issues and change the laws to be more inclusive.

Martian manhunter:

Gender and sexuality are human concepts. Biological sex is irrelevant to a shapeshifter so why would he let it limit him? He doesn’t understand why it matters so much to humans but he tries to understand. He knows a lot more about the lgbtq+ community than most people and fights for their rights but still doesn’t care much about his own labels.

He accepts whatever pronouns other use for him. He literally could not care less.

(I just wrote so much stuff and it all got deleted. Pain.)

Hal Jordan/ Green Lantern:

After travelling through space for so long you start to realize that human gender norms are kinda stupid. When you meet enough sexless space blobs who’s pronouns are based on developmental stages or races with thirty seven sexes and only one set of pronouns for all of them, you start to question if “male” is really the only optjon for you. He doesn’t know his gender quite yet but he’s pretty confident he’s not exactly a man. He doesn’t talk about it much except with people he’s very close to. He has noticed that he has a heavy preference towards 'women' no matter the species, as long as they're sentient.

Billy Batson/ Captain Marvel/ Shazam:

I think he’d be biromantic asexual trans man because hes my favourite boy and I say so. Again, do not kill me. He’s canonically dated and had crushes on girls but I feel like the whole ‘sometimes looks like an adult’ thing would really complicate things and he would try to push away any romantic feelings to not let it distract him from his work or cause any problems. It would probably take him a good few years to realize that he also likes guys and even longer to realize he never really felt anything further than romantic about anyone.

He knew he was trans since he knew what gender was. He has never identified as a girl and as soon as he could talk he told his parents he was a boy they were like “alrighty then!” And treated him accordingly. Hair cuts, pronouns, clothing and such. He didn’t even realize it was seen as ‘abnormal’ until his parents died. his uncle refused to call him by the correct pronouns and all his foster homes after that were similarly transphobic. He never faltered though and when he started living on the streets, he threw away all the dresses and bows his previous fosters got him and never looked back.

Batkids lightning round:

Richard Grayson/Nightwing:

Very openly gay while in costume. Still open out of costume but is just the teeniest bit quieter about it (aka when he’s out of costume he can’t yell at villains about being homophobic for hitting a gay man every time he takes a punch)

He’s a man (either trans or cis, i havent decided yet lol) but he isn’t afraid to wear a dress and makeup every once in a while and is very comfortable with his femininity and masculinity.

Jason Todd:

Who cares? He sure doesn’t. He’s dated women and doesn’t think it’s necessary to explore any further.

He’s never explored his gender and is a bit toxicly masculine but he can, will, and has killed people for being transphobic or making a transgender person feel even slightly uncomfortable. Huge ally though he doesn’t talk much about lgbtq+ rights, it’s just so obvious to him that he doesn’t think it needs to be talked about. A fan group online keeps a tally of how many homophobes and transphobes he's sent to the hospital and the number is unbelievably high.

Tim drake:

Unlabelled. He doesn’t have time to think about any of that but he knows he’s probably not straight, especially considering he has dated men, women, and nonbinary folk. It doesn’t really matter much to him.

Same thing for gender, who has the time? He identifies as male because looking too deep when he feels just fine as a guy would be a waste of time to him. If he had a transgender friend suggest it though, he would look a bit deeper and find that he’s either cis or gender apathetic. At that point he'd get bored and stop again lol.

Damian Wayne:

He has other things to worry about. Like eliminating all crime, for example. And polishing his swords. He'll deal with the whole 'romance' thing when he is the appropriate marriage age and will select if he wants to date a girl or a boy then. (He has not yet realized that isn't how it works. He'll realize hes aroace eventually but for now teaching Alfred the cat how to steal from Tim is much more important)

Other misc hero’s:

Zatanna: bi with a preference for women.

John Constantine: (edited this one because it was misunderstood) Bi but that’s none of your business. Won’t go out of his way to hide it but isn’t gonna tell you about it either unless it’s actually relevant.

Kon-el/Conner Kent/ Superboy: Gay. Maybe one day he’ll try dating a woman or something just to see if he’s interested but for now he knows he likes men so he’s sticking to that. They use He/they pronouns.

Wally west/ kid flash: Gay. Thought he was bi for a bit but realized he was just trying to hold on to a tiny bit of normalcy and accepted he would never be ‘normal’. He’s very happy with his boyfriend now! Experimented with different pronouns for a few months but ended up being a cis man. The experience really helped him understand the community better and hes glad he tried it out even in it didnt result in a big self discovery or anything.

And thats it! If you have a different headcanon please tell me in the comments/reblogs/tags/whatever!! I’m super interested to hear them.

this is like the third person I’ve seen imply Suzanne Collins wrote Sunrise on the Reaping because of the Israel-Hamas war (with Israel being the Capitol) and… idk how to tell y’all… the idea that she spent the last 3-4 years sitting on her thumbs & suddenly shat out a book, sent it off to her agent, got it signed by a publisher AND already has a movie far enough into production to announce, all in less than 9 months, is a little silly.

I’m having a hard time imagining that an author known for taking her time and ruminating on philosophical concepts woke up on the morning of October 7th to a massacre of men women & children and immediately set to work writing a philosophical thought experiment about Israel using the media to control people… and the further into the war you go, the less plausible it becomes that she would’ve had the time to do it.

Even if somehow it was the case that she locked herself in a room and Misery-ed herself into writing a book specifically about propaganda in the Israel-Hamas war in less than 9 months, I think it may be a little presumptuous to assume she shares your black-and-white outlook on what is “real or not real” about any given conflict due to the fact that the original Hunger Games trilogy ended with Katniss killing Coin instead of Snow & choosing Peeta over Gale because the “freedom fighters” were just as heinous & authoritarian (and literally worse) than the Capitol.

"rhaenys could have ended the war by dracarysing all the greens right there" yes because a distant relation to the throne deciding to barbecue an anointed and publicly positively hailed king and his entire family who is well loved within the city and in multiple other parts of the country for the sake of the succession of a far-away princess no one was ever on board with who hasn't been seen by the populace in literal years, her psycho husband, her three obvious bastards, and two toddlers from the psycho husband would go over super well with westeros and especially in king's landing where scores of the still-cheering population were killed for no reason by that same dragon who would do the barbecuing, because when targaryens act unilaterally without thinking of how the people would react there's never any problem, which is why the storming of the dragonpit and robert's rebellion were actually just collective delusions dreamed up by readers who hate rhaenyra and not key parts of the story and house targaryen's history that directly contributed to their demise and are intrinsic to the plot

truly team black stans are made up of only the most genius and media literate amongst us

#personal #house of the dragon #anti team black #i mean i guess??#like the crowd was cheering for aegon HARD #and they were always on board with aegon #and the hightowers are a powerful house with a lot of allies #and alicent and helaena specifically were well loved by the people in king's landing and the realm at large #and none of them ever liked rhaenyra or daemon who again have been MIA for basically a decade already #and again targaryens overreaching their power and not taking the people into account #is the reason why their house fell into oblivion and now rests entirely on a FIFTEEN YEAR OLD GIRL WHO IS THE ONLY ONE LEFT #if she roasted the dais the mob wouldn't have even let her leave they'd have killed her and meleys both in a heartbeat #storming of the dragonpit but a couple months earlier #the thing to remember is that i think a lot of team black stans are just kinda stupid #and do not care about the story at all or the actual intricacies of the world and its politics that is so important to the dance #(remember the rumors of rhaenyra mistreating helaena and alicent literally led to rhaenyra's death)#(because it led to the mobs and the storming of the dragonpit and the death of joffrey and her being driven out)#(and thus having to go to dragonstone where sunfyre got a little meal out of the whole debacle good for him)#(along with all of her ten million other shitty political decisions)#how do you profess to be pro-targaryen without even knowing targaryen history and where they erred and how that ended them #like *i* like the targaryens you guys have heard me talk about the conquerors all the livelong day #but i am also smart and i understand the world george created and the concept of repercussions #anyway yeah i am Annoyed at that new daemon clip (wow what a shock something annoyed me and had daemon in it)#(my least favorite character who could have foreseen this)

girlhood

#i have to fly out to capetown to see mother and im literally debating if i could land in the morning and leave at night on the same day #like. anything longer than that is going to ruin my year.#when she called and did her “katherine. you have to be here on the 10th” i literally sobbed in my bed for the rest of the day 😍😍😍#not dyeing my hair black for a year and its getting lighter and lighter everyday and i look like her again #and my therapist telling me “you need to do things for yourself.” but like can i? sorry that woman traumatised me and i actually cant :)#like everything i do is informed by her #I'm going to go and just like everytime the only way to keep my sanity is to mirror her. talk and sit and speak and read and eat like her #and its such a terrifying experience bc i remember that im capable of emulating her viciousness and maybe i am my mother's daugher 🤢🤢🤢#and im going to come back and its going to take fucking months for me to feel like myself again #“oh you look so beautiful just like your mother” i hope you DIE lol !!! the fact that my conception of beauty was shaped by her #growing up with this cruel beautiful detached woman and realising that at the intersection of beauty and wickness is a lifetime of pain #and still being so desperate for her approval- for any metaphysical proximity to her that i felt elated when #people would tell me i look like her. that it meant i was also beautiful like her and maybe she'll love me a little for it #but now i know for a fact that i do look like her and it makes saliva swell under my tongue - that moment right before you throw up-#when people mention it 😍#last time i was in capetown my optic neuritis flared up (and i know for a fact it was that it was ms-stress related from having to see her)#and i thought i hid it so well even though i had near constant headaches & lethargy until she said “katherine give me the red notebook”#and i knew that she knew all along. it was so acutely humiliating standing there and knowing she knows i cant see which one is the red one #and she tilted her head and said “whats the matter? do you not know what red looks like?”#im never going to have kids. my mother and i read eachother so well it can only mean im never too far removed from becoming her #lol!!!!!!!!!

At least our ship is canon.

You're a fucking snob. "Oh I'm so much better than these fans because I do my fandom differently" BUT YOU DON'T. Marvel fans are the absolute most cliche fans. Lmao this superiority complex people who don't watch OFMD have is honestly just masking the most intense jealousy. You've never watched the show, but you KNOW you're better than the people that do? Get the fuck out of here. You're pathetic.

BRO PEOPLE DON'T CARE ABOUT THAT SORT OF THING ANYMORE IT'S OKAY #I'M ALSO NOT EVEN A MARVEL FAN ANYMORE LMAOOOO I JUST HAVEN'T CHANGED MY URL SINCE 2017 #I FUCKING HATE 99% OF MARVEL FANS TOO. IT'S JUST THAT THAT POLL WAS LITERALLY ABOUT FANDOM NOT ABOUT THE PAIRING ITSELF #AND STEVEBUCKY OBJECTIVELY COME OUT ON TOP THERE?????#i'm absolutely cackling at this come on dude what year did you write this from. Keep sending me these messages they amuse me #also get out of where. that post was untagged bro you had to FIND MEEEEEEEE #also if you even read the full tags you would've noted the part where i clarified that the show itself seems to do everything just fine!!#it's just that the fans act like FUCKING SUPERWHOLOCKS FOR THE NEW DECADE #AND YOU ARE PROVING ME RIGHT. BY TALKING LIKE A FUCKING SUPERWHOLOCK FOR THE NEW DECADE #omg. Ofmd fans grab your flags we have a stinky STUCKY SHIPPER* to attack >:(#(*girl who has not given a shit about the mcu at all in like three years and is totally disengaged from the concept of stucky despite #her teenagehood love for it)

I've had Melliwyk for SIX YEARS

#happy nameday mel #I had already built and designed her-- I almost always save names for last cause I'm bad at them lmao #quinzemela is a good name ngl it just wasn't the right vibe for her #I did also- years later- take tukklewin off this list for her dad cause I liked that one too 😌#anyway. SIX YEARS. WHEW #and to think-- at the time I wasn't taking her very seriously because 1) her original concept was built around a joke #and 2) I honestly didn't expect to play her very much because I had so many other campaigns (lol. lmao)#these things are related! the joke was that she'd have magical narcolepsy that sometimes couldn't be shaken right away #so that if I was ever unable to make a session my character could be asleep in somebody's backpack #a totally joking thing I said while lamenting about how overbooked I was for dnd but then IMMEDIATELY went 'oh no. I actually love that'#anyway now it's been six years that's literally never happened I've put the most actual hours into playing mel and I love her SO MUCH #about me #my OCs #melliwyk #posts from facebook

Living in a small town for pretty much all your life is like being in a sitcom that’s been going on for way too long

#you end up being like ‘it’s season 27. why are we now bringing back a character who hasn’t been seen since season 16’#aka guy i had a crush on in secondary school’s mom is in my pilates class #ya girl never forgets a face so as soon as she walked in i was like ‘i Know her. i swear to god i know her’ my mom was like ‘you don’t know #anything’ i was like ‘hush. it’ll come to me’#it bothered me throughout the whole class but then at the end i walked out into the church car park and literally laughed #she has a personalised number plate with her surname and first initial. i turned to my mom and was like ‘don’t ever tell me i don’t know #something ever again’ she’s like ‘what’ because she’s not even familiar with this person as a concept #so i have to explain about the time this boy turned up at my house unannounced and was like ‘do you want to go for a walk’ and i was like #‘hell yeah’ so we went back to his house and his three dogs jumped all over me and his mom asked me about a bazillion questions #that was 11 years ago #i have not seen her since that day but i swear to you i remembered her. i just couldn’t figure out from where until i saw the car #anyway he’s doing like a postgrad in geology now somewhere. i bet she’s mad. she was one of those parents who hires like a billion tutors #and hopes their kid will become a doctor. babe your first mistake was sending him to a state comprehensive with a bad ofsted rating 👍🏻#literally just pretending to be catholic long enough to get him into the catholic school would’ve done way more than hiring tutors #and it would’ve been free! no one can tell me lying to the church gets you nothing #my best friend from primary school went there and got to do free violin lessons and learn german; japanese and french AND they had macs #meanwhile i was playing cricket without a bat because our school couldn’t afford bats. life isn’t fair #personal

You guys I think it’s finally happening, I think I finally lost all interests in DC/Damian lol

#it been 7 long years but I finally did it #I don't know why it happened today #new things dropped and as usual I had my issues with them #but then I realized that nothing will change no matter how much I complain #everything I like about Talia and Damian have been stripped away and replaced with wore version #worse version**#but it's me and 4 other people who think like that because everyone else either don't care anymore or are new fans who don't know better #so......why bother anymore lol?#I'm just making myself miserable staying here and going (THE NEXT WRITER WILL FIX THINGS!!!)#and only for the next writer to in fact NOT fix this #basically I'm tired of gas-lighting myself into believing my ideal version of the characters will appear one day #and it's not like the things I'm asking for are crazy weird concept or anything #I'm literally just asking for previous fan-favorite concept to return #so now I need to accept that the real Talia and the real Damian are dead forever and we only see glimpses of them here and there #gonna still pirate their comics and like/reblog pretty fanart but that's about it #everyone else enjoy the racist-incarnation of the most evil/untrustworthy brown woman in the world and her ugly weak dumb whitey-white son #I'm done

I don't know about you, boys

But if you're like me then hanging around

This old manhole is bringing you down

Six-feet-under getting under your skin

Cabin fever is a-setting in

You're stir crazy, stuck in a rut

You could use a little pick-me-up

I can give you what it is you crave

A little something from the good old days

I got the wind right here in a jar

I got the rain on tap at the bar

I got sunshine up on the shelf

Allow me to introduce myself

Brother, what's my name? My name is

Our Lady of the Underground!

Brother, what's my name?

Our Lady of Ways! Our Lady of Means!

Brother, what's my name? My name is

Our Lady of the Upside Down

Wanna know my name?

I'll tell you my name — Persephone

Come here, brother, let me guess

It's the little things you miss

Spring flowers, autumn leaves

Ask me, brother, and you shall receive

Or maybe these just ain't enough

Maybe you're looking for some stronger stuff

I got a sight for the sorest eye

When was the last time you saw the sky?

Wipe away your tears, brother

Brother, I know how you feel

I can see you're blinded by the sadness of it all

But look a little closer and everything will be revealed

Look a little closer and there's a crack in the wall

You want stars? I got a sky full

Put a quarter in the slot, you'll get an eyeful

You want the moon? Yeah, I got her too

She's right here waiting in my pay-per-view

How long's it been?

A little moonshine ain't no sin

Tell my husband to take his time

What the boss don't know, the boss won't mind

#salome ( soundtrack )#[ salome’s theme song since her literal fucking conception in 2012 ]#[ the musical version wasn’t even dreamt of yet just anais’ concept album ]#[ the concept album was only two years old then! ]#[ it’s so crazy how much changes and how many people love hadestown now ]#[ all of my characters for tumblr have been themed around hadestown songs ]#[ like the boozy jazz and fiddle is fucking peak salome vibes but music ]#[ all the small subversions and the beckoning to come savor the minutest details of life ]#[ yes good perfect good good good ]#[ I still routinely call salome by our/the lady of the underground even ]#[ fucking nerd alert ]#[ also yes I had to post the complete lyrics don’t argue with me ]#Spotify

Anyway saw a play today and it inspired a concept and now I want to make it real.

I want to attend a ball hosted on the aurora borealis. I want to wear a big beautiful dress and swish around on electrostatic nighttime rainbows. Let’s make this happen, people!

#I have a poor OC that I’ve been rolling around in my head since I was 13 and saw days of future past #she can manipulate time etc etc #anyways just finally decided she should have a date where she slows down time #and her dancing partner/date flies her up to the night sky #and they dance in the aurora #god please give me the strength and will to put her on paper #it’s literally been almost a decade #LMFAO I just remembered that I tried to apply to marvel comics because I knew how to draw and had a cool mutant concept (the OC)#I sent them an email about how to apply #I think they could tell I was 13 because they were very nice and listed out the things I needed to do (build a portfolio etc) and said #hey maybe apply in a couple years kiddo (paraphrasing)#maybe I told them I was 13? I don’t remember #anyways guys #be tenacious and it might get you an email back from marvel XD

aaaghghhh i hate realising similarities between characters from different games (i don’t hate it i enjoy it in fact but it is also agonising)

#maggles ramblings #grr. silver/white haired guys without parents whose motivations are their younger sisters who had an unfortunate fire incident years ago #so frustrating that literally both of them fit that exactly. however one of them just wanted to get strong in order to protect ppl #the other one’s sister ended up having a weird relationship with the concept of being alive so he helped her set up the only circumstances-#in which her past self could be saved; therefore saving her future self and the others from that time as well #man. i sure am thinking about games again #still thinking about this one ending from the game the 2nd guy’s from honestly. and i cannot stop #it’s just so. MUCH. and it hurts but it’s still got a bit of heartwarming to it. like ‘tragedy happened. but you are so close to the truth’#‘you were so close. please try again; i will help you so maybe this time you can save everyone… and me.’ AUGH #i feel like maybe my friend and i speeding through and going straight back to the diverging paths perhaps gave some endings less Oomph #so perhaps i will try at least the two necessary endings on the ds version. so that it feels less rushed #and gives more time for everything to sink in. but also i’m impatient so #yes i only finished that game last week. i’m still going through it

vent post. There are two stories i was told in my teenage years that even before i had a real concept of trans issues made me uninterested in discussing the supposed sacredness and safety of separated sex-based spaces.

First, when i was like 13 or 14 my PE teacher told us about a time she went to a women's public restroom, some guy was hanging out outside the bathrooms, she didn't think anything of it, went to the bathroom, and he walked in after her and like, creeped on her over the top of the stall. She was ok, she wasn't telling us this to scare us, just telling us what to do in situations like that (and iirc she was telling the whole co-ed class this, not just girls, bc it's useful for everyone), but this taught me immediately and forever that there's nothing actually keeping these spaces separate really, that anyone can be a creep in any space, and that establishing a space like that as for women only isn't actually particularly useful for safety.

Second, when i was 16 i was at an anime convention, a friendly acquaintance of mine and i ended up in conversation outside, and he showed me his bare wrist and told me he'd been kicked out. A female friend of his had stepped in dog poop outside, and between that and the stress of the convention she'd had a bit of an emotional breakdown, so being her friend, he started comforting her and ushered her into the women's restroom so they could wash the poop off her shoe together. And because he was a man who went into the women's bathroom, he got kicked out, no matter that he was doing something that was actually beneficial to a woman. Punishing a woman's friend for supporting her was supposed to... protect her somehow? This made it clear to me that a no-exceptions rule separating the sexes like that wasn't actually inherently good for everyone.

And this isn't even getting into me as a child needing to accompany my younger sister to the restroom when we were out with just my dad because she had certain support needs past the age he felt comfortable bringing her into the men's room with him. And what if I'd been born a boy, or she'd been the first born? Who's helping her then?

And of course even putting all this aside, we should always prioritize compassion and support anyway. But i never even needed to meet a trans person to know that "keeping men out of women's bathrooms" is silly nonsense. But trans people also need to pee anyway and as humans they have that right, so leave them the fuck alone. your precious women's restroom is just a fucking room with a door, holy shit give it a fucking rest, if someone is attacking you in the bathroom that's bad and if someone is in there to pee that's good and it doesn't fucking matter what their junk is or was when they were born.

a woman could have done the exact same thing to my PE teacher and it would have also been bad no matter how "supposed" to be in the restroom she was, and no one should ever be punished for helping a crying friend wash their shoe.

Anyway i know I'm speaking to like-minded folks here, i just think about those two stories literally every time bathroom gender shit comes up and it pisses me off.

Every single time I see a take that amounts to "if you write about X happening, or like fiction where X happens, you like X" I'm reminded of this one time I was at a casual friends house as a young kid. We were in her room, pretending to "be orphans" escaping from an evil orphanage and having to take care of each other and fend for ourselves. It was all very Little Orphan Annie/All Dogs Go to Heaven and based on the 80s pop media.

And this girl's mom comes in, hears what we're playing and gets all MAD and UPSET. She says that if we play act something, it's because we want it to happen. So her daughter must WANT HER TO DIE.

First off lady, we were 6 year year olds, so take it down several notches. We barely had a concept of mortality for fucks sake. She made us feel so guilty and ashamed, because she was taking our game personally.

Now I have a 5 year old. And sometimes she looks at me and says "pretend you're dead, and I have to -" Whatever it is. Some adult task she's assigned herself.

And it's just so transparently obvious that she's practicing the idea of having to do things on her own. Which is exactly what 5 year olds are supposed to do. I actually find it very flattering that the only way she can envision me not being available to help her is to be literally deceased. Otherwise, obviously, she wouldn't have to do scary hard things alone.

It's a natural coping mechanism. She's self-soothing about what would happen if I wasn't there by play-acting independence in a perfectly safe environment. She's also practicing skills she needs, and making up excuses for practicing them on her own, without taking on the responsibility of being able to do them by herself all the time yet.

Humans mentally rehearse bad this in their brains all the time. We can do that by ruminating- going over worries over and over again, which tends to lead to anxiety and helplessness and depression. Or we can do it with a sense of play- by recognizing that the fiction is fiction and we can dip our toe into these experiences and expose ourselves to bad things without actually being injured.

My daughter does not want me dead. And I don't want bad things to happen in real life. But fiction and pretend help me face the horrors of the world and think about them without collapsing or messing myself up mentally.
