#The Rejected Woman

[bet-on-me-13]

The Villains Daughter

So! Years ago, back when the Justice League was only just starting out, only a year or two after their initial team-up, they had one of their biggest battles to date. A group of Extra-Dimensional Beings had burst into their reality, hellbent on destroying a Government Facility and the nearby small town in Illinois.

They barely managed to beat the Invading Army back, although the Government Facility and a part of the nearby Town had been destroyed in the battle.

Later, they would learn about what had happened. Apparently the Government Base, called a GIW Facility, had managed to finally Crack the secret to Interdimensional Travel a few days earlier. Unfortunately, they had opened a Portal into a Dimension known as the Ghost Zone, ruled over by a Tyrant King who wanted to enslaved all world under him. Their Breaching of the GZ had alerted the Tyrant King to the existence of their Dimension, and he had launched an immediate Invasion to try and take it over.

And the evidence supported this.

Wonder Woman shared Legends of her People, telling that their Founding Ancestor had fled the rule of a Tyrant King when she passed into the Afterlife.

Zatara shared his Magic Tomes, showing them passages detailing the horrific Rule of the Tyrant King of the Infinite Realms.

They even asked Boston Brand, the Deadman and resident Ghost about it. He hadn't been the the Ghost Zone in Years, but even he told them that he had personally fled the Tyrant King.

And they also learned that when the Tyrant King set his eyes on something, he did not falter on his Warpath to acquire it. The Tyrant King, Pariah Dark, would be back for their World, again and again.

And they needed to be prepared. This Battle was what kickstarted their true Commitment to the idea of a Team. They knew they could not defeat Pariah Dark alone, so they needed to remain as a Team.

But there was another thing that came about from the Battle.

While the JLA had been helping clean up, Wonder Woman came across a strange sight. A Baby had been left in the rubble of the GIW Building.

She asked around, investigated, and did all she could to find the babies parents. At first she thought that one of the GIW Agents had brought their kid to work that day, but their records indicated that none of the Agents had children of that Age. And Neither did any of the other workers who worked on the base, like the Janitors or the Kitchen Staff. And of they did, all of their children were accounted for.

She eventually came to the conclusion that the Baby must belong to somebody in the nearby Town, but that lead led nowhere either.

She finally came to the conclusion that the Baby's parents must have died in the Invasion, a very unfortunate but very real possibility. She was going to place her into the System, but over the course of her investigation she had grown fond of the Child.

She decided to Adopt the baby herself. She didn't know the child's name, so she had to come up with a new one.

"How do you like the name, Stella?"

The baby gurgled in delight.

...

Over the next decade of their Teams Existence, the Justice League had to fend off the Legions of the Ghost King's Army many more times. It seemed that Pariah had grown wise to the fact that they were the ones defending the Human Realm, as almost all of the later attacks were directed on them personally.

It made sense, they were the First Line of Defense against his Armies, if he managed to defeat them, their World would soon fall.

But they dealt with the attacks as they came. They had made it their mission to defend their Home from the Forced of Pariah Darks Army, and they would not falter now, or ever.

In the case of Wonder Woman, he Daughter had grown to be a fine little lady. Stella had eventually developed Powers similar to her mother, in that she could fly and had super strength, and had begged to be trained as a Hero.

And who was Diana to deny her Daughter her greatest wish? Over the next 5 years, Diana trained Stella in the ways of the Amazon's. Then, when Stella was 15, she had her join the newly formed Young Justice.

She made a great group of friends on that Team, and even started going by Ellie as a Nickname. Her best friend was by far Conner, though she didn't know why she felt such a strong connection to him? It felt like she could relate to him, but her situation was completely different?

Ah well, her Mom wouldn't mind having another kid, would she? She always wanted a Brother!

...

Meanwhile in the Ghost Zone, the Ghost King was getting anxious. After 15 years, his Agents in the Human Realm had finally managed to set up the Ritual needed to Summon Him into the Human Realm.

Who knew that accepting the Ghost King's Throne would bar him from entering the Human Realm through normal Means? He couldn't even use the Portal, he needed to be summoned or he simply wouldn't be able to leave his new home dimension.

But now, it was almost time. Just another year or two, and he would finally be able to enter the Human Realm. He would finally be able to Find Her. His Daugther.

Danny would finally be able to reunite with his daughter, Ellie.

hot take but I think the "we're only talking about people who identify as queer when we talk about the queer community" thing was and is one of the worst arguments in defense of the word.

I am talking about you when I say "the queer community", and "queer people", and "queer studies". I'm describing a thing that a large group of people have in common, and you share that thing in common. Your individual comfort with the word doesn't change the definition of it.

I'm sorry you don't like that word. You don't ever have to call yourself that, and you don't have to like it, and I won't ever call you that if you don't want me to.

What I am going to do, however, is decide what language I use based on A) how inclusive it is, and B) how well it communicates my point to the relevant audience.

"Inclusive" here is an important criteria; this refers to the number of people who should be included, that are included, ideally without some kind of weird hierarchy (like we see in "LGBT+" and variations). The technical definition is what we're talking about here- putting personal comfort aside, could the word "queer" describe you?

There will always be someone who doesn't like a particular word for themselves- even if it could apply. Lots of people don't like "LGBT+" (I don't really), even if it technically applies to them. You're not more important than they are.

You can identify one way on a personal level, and still understand that when we're discussing the larger community of people and the histories attached to it, you're included in that- even if you don't personally identify with the specific word we're using. Your story, your voice, and your presence matters.

Y'all need to learn to distinguish "broad term for an experience I share with others" from "personal identity label I use to describe my individual experience to others". ASAP.

#queer #also because i can hear the terfs in my head: #'woman' does not include trans men because trans men are not women #functionally and fundamentally it's not the same gender experience #and the word refers to a personal gender identity #'queer' describes a common experience of being rejected from a particular group

Daily Diana #11

I am going issue by issue through Wonder Woman (1987—) and drawing my favourite outfits on a very vague daily schedule. Today's was an interesting mix of issues. Diana's outfit is from issue 10, rather than issue 11, as I wanted to draw the Queen Hippolyte & Philippus fight! Which was a LOT of fun to draw. One of the first fights I've ever drawn too!

Click & zoom in for better resolution!

And of course, the outfit & fight in context:

I just know I’m gonna struggle in my later years bc I don’t wanna get married I don’t want kids I just wanna rawdog life and be a hot milf

#You might be like that’s probably bc you’re just 21 and ur values will change #And to that I say. Perhaps. But rn I don’t see it and I haven’t seen it since I was like 15 #Also you might be like Well pave your own path! Not all women end up w domestic lifestyles #And while I agree w that sentiment you have to understand I’m an Arab girl #Rn I’m chilling doing whatever and my moms cool w it but that’s bc I’m just a kid basically #Once I’m Older (age 25+) I feel like the expectations r gonna start rolling in #Though this is by no means an Arab girl problem bc god knows even here in the states misogyny #Runs rampant #I just feel like i legit reject everything that’s expected from a woman in her later years so I fully expect to be #A neurosurgeon one day forlornly smoking a cigarette from her penthouse office #p

☆ the dove

{☆} characters tsaritsa {☆} notes cult au, imposter au, drabble, gender neutral reader {☆} warnings violence, blood {☆} word count 0.7k

Her hands are weapons, forged in a tragedy as much as a war of ash and blood that seeps into the earth and rots it from within. To them, however, she is salvation. Her hands are a kindness, not a threat. She sees it in their puffy, red eyes just brimming with tears, their fragile body so delicate and weak is still remains marred by wounds new and old – the gold still stains their skin, even long after it had been washed away.

She has seen it all – and she takes the injured dove beneath her wing with the sickly sweet promise that someday she shall mend its broken wings and teach it to fly again.

And in their stupor, they do not see her clip their wings.

It is for the best.

The wolves still salivate below the nest, waiting for her little dove to fall again – no, she shall not send her little bird to fly when it will just fall into their waiting maws once again.

This..this one is hers, she has decided.

Her little bird who dreams of the sky and the woman who clips their wings..what a tragic pair they must make, she thinks.

Not for her, of course. Yet not to them, either, unaware of the way she grounds them and keeps the key to their cage tightly in her fist.

"Tsaritsa?" The soft, meek lilt of the little bird draws her from her reverie, and she smiles – all teeth and little else, wolfish and predatory.

Yet the bird sees nothing but love in the sharp points of her canines.

As it was meant to be.

"Yes, little bird?"

She coos in honeyed tones, brushing her cold, cold hands against their skin, reveling in the way they shiver and shake beneath the ever present chill in her very bones. They do not fear the claws that ghost across their skin, and the smile they offer that illuminates their eyes like stars only proves her right – she wants to devour them whole. To see the stars in their eyes burn out beneath her teeth, their golden blood burn upon her tongue and down her throat.

"You promised to take me to the gardens today, remember?"

Her pearly, sharpened fangs peer out beneath her lips as she grins wider, unnerving to all but the little bird who sees not the wolf but the wool it wears, her hands finding their place upon their shoulders as she whispers into their ear.

She will guide her little bird where they cannot go, where their clipped wings cannot take them.

She will give them that bittersweet taste of freedom and then watch them try to catch the stars..

Just to drag them back down to earth where they belong.

"Of course, Creator – I am a woman of my word, am I not?"

Such sickly sweet lies come to her with ease – she lies and she lies and they do not see past the woolen cloak of the wolf until its jaw has snapped around its throat and its blood has painted the world a shimmering gold.

She will delight in that, too.

"If I may be so bold, Creator, you have been distant lately..have you grown tired of me already?"

Her words were as sharp as a blade, yet as dull as a rock, as sweet as they were dangerous. Like watching a mouse trap luring in its prey, she would snap it shut as soon as the little bird strayed too close.

"No! No, that's not..you've just been busy lately, I didn't want to intrude."

They remind her so much of a rabbit in those moments, and she so badly wants to know what would happen if she just took a small, insignificant bite..yet she restrains herself with a far too wide smile, her jaw clenched so hard she almost thinks they will hear it creak.

"Intrude? You could ever hardly intrude, Creator – what is mine is yours. Though, perhaps I shall have to lock you in my room to ensure you compensate me for depriving me of your presence."

In just a few short words, she snares the rabbit – her little bird, her Creator. They will see nothing but the sickly sweet lure of her smile, letting out a pretty laugh of their own as they press closer, like a bird wandering into the open maw of the beast lying in wait.

"As long as it has a nice view, I suppose I won't mind."

They jest, but she does not. And oh, how easy it is to ensnare an unsuspecting prey.

"Of course, Creator – just for you."

It won't be long until her little bird returns to its gilded cage, now. Permanently.

It is better that way.

microdosing on the tlt tag has been earth-shattering because it came with the revelation that my experience of being siren song'd into finally reading the series by ianthe tridentarius's abject dysfunction only be dashed against the rocks of her unanticipated tenderness was not universal

#the locked tomb #i was smitten with this woman on sight. are you telling me people had to be begrudgingly endeared to her. my morals folded like hot toffee #before her ghastly scheming vriskagirl visage #she tore chunks from naberius's arm w her teeth and i swooned. i had to put the book down and pace it out. i never wanted her more carnally #i experienced the entirety of the second book as a romance novel. i knew about griddlehark but nobody warned me abt how substantial #harryanthe was and i simply had to take their toxic yuri chicanery on the nose with the force of a planet imploding #my unrelenting lust for ianthe tridentarius had people concerned for my future romantic prospects #mine #sorry gideon i am hashtag team ianthe because it's so much funnier to root for the woman who got the patented cheek-kiss-rejection and stil #went on to pettily squabble w her situationship's ex-situationship while actively besieged by planetary murderghosts

#totk critical #totk #tloz #gerudos #when will my brain return from the imprisoning war.... #I just stumbled upon it again doing research yesterday and.... #there's so many layers as to why it aggravates me #that it's spoken from the perspective of a masked woman as to embody all gerudos while removing her own identity #in the context of her loyalty to rauru as well #that giving birth to a bad man makes you responsible for his actions (he's not a toddler anymore he's an adult ok) #or more metaphorically that your initial conflict with hyrule makes you Sinful and cursed and you must Feel Bad Now *shame shame* #that she's passing on that ageless guilt with no expiration date onto the shoulders of *a teenager* and it's considered GOOD??? #(wind waker shaking crying right now) #ALL OF THAT to prop her up to swear her loyalty to the people planning to go murder their ancient king (sure he's a Bad but still???) #using some sort of weird ass original sin scenario that is arguably not any gerudo's fault but Ganondorf's #(or if it is then it's not shown so ???) #the vibes are so so so off I just really !!!!! don't like #this is stuff like this that makes me reject that it's a good story about alliances being formed in good faith #because this is just manipulative #maybe the alliance angle everyone's stronger together was the intention but the execution is another story entirely #gerudos never benefited from ganondorf's actions also #so it's not even a case of making reparations for the way you benefit from systemic oppression due to your ancestor's actions #gerudos won literally nothing in ganondorf's war #apparently he even subjugated them if they weren't on his side (like.... a king would.... not to excuse it but the double standard here) #so it just instrumentalizes the ageless sin of motherhood + suffering under a bad monarch billion of years ago for war #so uhhh.... yeah that's not... that's pretty bad imo #the gerudo girl could have went “hey girl this man used us and still hurt us to this day let's kick his ass once and for all” #and this would have been a different story entirely #a little cheap but not....

Buck showed an astronomical amount of growth in this episode, from his leadership skills (601) to his professionalism when delivering a baby (season 1) to his ability to separate himself and give the baby away to his real parents despite his own feelings (the entire donor arc). to say he hasn't shown any growth because he stayed in a relationship that, up until this point, and despite the audience being able to see thematic clues that it won't last in the long run, is very new and despite the one hiccup that got resolved with a genuine apology he has not had any reason to turn away from, is a disservice to his character and also just. unfair

#HES NOT GONNA SEE THAT SHES A DEATH DOULA AND BE LIKE. oooh this must be foreshadowing #she's nice and pretty and genuinely apologized. why should he give it a go?? the alternative is stay single which. #why would he if he likes her? even looking through a buddie lens at this point 1. either he knows he loves eddie or 2. he doesn't yet #option 1 its not like eddie's getting down on one knee rn and he's rejecting him what's he gonna do pine away while eddie calls marisol? #and option 2 he doesn't know he loves eddie he doesn't know that's an option so. nice pretty woman? why the fuck not #and frankly if this was the series finale I would have killed myself if everyone was happy and moving on and all buck got #was giving away the donor baby and learning to have peace in solitude fuck that put him with a shallow love interest #911 spoilers #911 fox #911 abc #evan buckley

know that if you get horny thinking about any character from dunmeshi (especially the women) I do not respect you

this is actively just malicious.

painting this strawman like we are claiming actual radfem ideology are you fucking kidding me

no one has ever said that. we point out that gay cis men face these same issues, that MOC do, that disabled men do. this is in EVERY. SINGLE. post refuting him.

he is now officially actively intentionally mischaracterizing the transmasc community

#if anyone has EVER said that #absolutely everyone at the forefront of this conversation would immediately call out their internalized radical feminism #absolutely NONE of this has to do with biological assignment making us inherently oppressed #that is absolutely SLANDER #it is about being someone who society wants to be a woman #and actively choosing to be a man #and rejecting the responsibilities of womanhood #at best that is the most bad faith reading possible #cw transphobia #cw transandrophobia #and to link it with cis gay men #ITS THE FAILURE TO PERFORM MANHOOD CORRECTLY #both at once #bc transphobia doesnt HAVE to make sense guys #they are not trying to be internally consistent #disclaimer: i used internalized wrong in these tags but i will not be rewriting all of them :) have a nice day

no offense to people who love the BBC P&P but imagine being more into the one where he proposes in a room where he's dominated by wallpaper, versus the one where he proposes in POURING RAIN, beginning with this desperate little "ILOVEYOUMOSTARDENTLYPLEASEDOMETHEHONOROFACCEPTINGMYHAND" and escalating to the point where he's almost YELLING because his FEELINGS are coming out SO HARD and he's been quiet the whole movie but NOW HE CAN'T STAND IT (and before people come at him Lizzie is almost yelling also) and the man who's been so repressed this whole movie is like, rolling his eyes at her comebacks, absolutely spitting the "Mr.wickham" while stepping forward in the most irritated manner possible

it's just such a dynamic scene and while I think Keira is great in this movie, I'm glad that over the years Matty Mac has gotten the flowers he deserves because the choice to have it begin as this pleading gentlemanly proposal characterized by the same anxiety Darcy has shown throughout the movie to this very angry and annoyed and even EXASPERATED argumentative state we've never seen him in before (aside from hints like the dance and him fucking off on that horse after seeing Wickham lmao) because he's PISSED at getting rejected by her especially for doing shit he thinks was totally valid lol, then moving into absolute horniness in the end because he's not on his A-Game Honor Code at all anymore.......

[SUBLIME!]

#this is not a post where i wanna hear anyone's opinions about how the bbc one is better i do not care #this is a poster about how everything about this scene is perfect #but ESPECIALLY the anger and annoyance part that matty mac puts in it #because i think that the contrast to literally everything else he does in the movie #is excellent #i feel like the intensity to which he reacts to her in this scene is what really proves the depth of his feeling #more than all of the anxiety does #not to trash the anxiety it's such good characterization but to me it's like... #him being so mad at being rejected and misunderstood by her is like oh he WANTS this woman #he's INVESTED

[memecatwings]

the thing about Vivarium (2019) is that it wasnt like the main couple particularly disliked kids. to the contrary, the both loved kids. gemma works as a grade school teacher and tom is a gardener who works for the school. tom is even sensitive enough that he buries two dead baby birds that fell from their nest at the start of the movie. these are two very caring and nuturing people who would have made excellent parents, they just didnt have kids *yet*. the tragedy of the story is that this couple that would have made excellent parents is given a child that they didnt plan for and didnt want. they werent ready to be parents yet and were forced into it without their consent. it is ultimately a story about people who are forced and pressured into living a life that they never would have chosen. theyre given everything they could ever need or want by cisheteronormative societal standards but they had no agency in it. they didnt chose it. its a story about how unwanted/unplanned children can drain the life out of people despite societys perception of them as "blessings". gemma and tom were very nurturing people yet when given a baby against their will it destroyed them; tom worked himself to death to escape and reject the child abandoning gemma to raise him alone, but raising him was just a job to her. gemma rejected motherhood til her dying breath. they abused the child, tom even tried to kill him, and gemma regrets not letting him do it when the child gets older. raising the child gave them nothing but suffering, they could only find peace sitting in their car (much like how for life in the suburbs your car is a lifeline - its nearly impossible to do anything without one). the movie was about the hidden suffering that lies just beneath the idyllic surface of suburbia; the voyeuristic, isolating, paranoid, depressive reality that afflicts families who never wanted life to be this way but were trapped into it. is it any wonder why this movie made people feel deeply uncomfortable?

#vivarium #insane movie!!!!!!! #people just hate to see a woman raise a child but reject motherhood!!
