Don’t Wander into the Wolf’s Den…

—————————

Well, I haven’t posted any actual content in over a month. That’s great. Anyway here’s the most depraved shit my fucked up horny brain can think of.

This fic includes: Dom! Alpha! Werewolf-like male, Sub! Omega! Human male

Warnings: uh, everything?

No but seriously, warnings for: Dubious Consent*, unwanted pregnancy, aggression, violence, kidnapping?, rut/mating (as in, actual mating), forced claiming, very slight bondage, crying, threatening, humiliation?, degradation, lying, captivity

*life or death situation

READ ALL WARNINGS BEFORE PROCEEDING

————————————

18+ ONLY, CISHETS DNI

————————————

And uh, to my irl friend who follows me, I’m sorry lmao. You specifically are being warned.

————————————

Ever since he was little his grandmother had told him that there was one rule he must always follow: under no circumstances, never, for any reason, should he wander into or even get close to the cave near the edge of town. This was a rule he always followed, as he was instructed. Everyone avoided the cave, not a single villager dared to get within 30 feet. That’s why it was such an exciting idea. I mean, what rebellious young adult wouldn’t want to break the only rule they ever had? Surely all the stories of the wolf man was just there to scare them, after all wolf or no wolf going into an uncharted cave isn’t exactly a good idea. But children would never listen to logic, so clearly the adults just told that story because they knew the youth would listen to it. Right?

I guess we should start with why he would be there in the first place. You see, he had been out in the forest picking berries when it started to rain lightly. The drizzle, however, quickly turned into a storm. The winds so powerful that he was almost knocked over multiple times as he struggled back towards the village. Just as the exit of the tree line came into view, so did the cave. That’s odd, he could’ve sworn he was much farther away than this. He must’ve been pretty disoriented by the thick, pelting rain. He stops momentarily, holding onto a tree to steady himself. His basket of berries gripped tightly in his fist. He had a choice to make. Would he be able to get back to grandmothers safely and before the storm became worse? It was picking up by the second, and he seriously weighed his other option.

He sighed, “cave it is”

And slowly approaches the entrance.

There was something exciting about doing the only thing he had ever been forbidden from doing. His timid footsteps approach the cave, rain soaking him entirely. He peeks inside but predictably can’t see anything. He ducks in.

He sits down on the cold rock, shivering slightly and trying to figure out what to do from here. He takes a deep breath and relaxes for a moment. But the hair on the back of his neck stands up and suddenly a wave of dread washes over him, he feels that he shouldn’t be here, but it’s far too late when he feels the hot breath on his neck.

Before he can react, his mouth is covered and he’s pulled into the darkness.

He screams, but of course it’s muffled. He kicks and flails, struggling against the impossibly strong grip. That is until a spine chilling growl paralyzes him in fear.

He tenses up, weakly pulling against the grip as he realizes the mistake he’s made.

He closes his eyes tightly, preparing for whatever may happen next. He’s dragged into a room inside the cave, the complete darkness somehow getting darker. His mouth is uncovered but he remains silent, tears starting to drip down his face. The harsh grip moves to his arm, nails digging in as he feels something cold touch his flesh. He realizes in a second and tries to squirm away, but is only met with a harsher grip and an aggressive growl. The metal is locked around his wrist, and he starts to realize how much trouble he’s in.

His assailant laughs, sorta. A deep, snarling laugh that simultaneously scares and demeans him.

“So..” the gruff voice asks

It.. can talk?

He stays silent

“Well, can’t you speak?”

More silence

He snarls and grips his arm again, digging his claws in deep. The young man cries out

“Yes! I can speak!”

The beast laughs again

“Oh? Then why don’t you tell me what you’re doing here? In MY cave.”

He’s silent again, that is until the claws dig deeper.

“I just wanted to get out of the rain!” He sobs

“Likely story” he trails a claw up his arm “but I don’t believe you.”

“W-what?”

“I don’t believe you.” The beast says. “I have no reason to believe you”

He’s silent again

“In fact, it seems like you were waiting for an excuse to come in here”

A jolt of fear mixed with confusion shoots through him

“What? No-I-“

“Hush”

He does

“I don’t want your excuses, human. I’ve seen you outside before. I’ve seen you gaze into this darkness, fighting the urge to come in. Well, you saw your chance and took it. Isn’t that right?”

He gulps

“So it is.” He clears his throat “well, what do I get out of this?”

“Excuse me?”

“Where’s my end of the deal? Your curiosity is sated, you know what lies within now. And yet I get nothing from this. Really it’s a shame, annoying even. Humans only think about themselves. It never crossed your mind that I avoided you just as much as you avoided me, did it? You didn’t even think about who or what you would be disturbing, or how upset they would be about it.”

His blood runs cold

No, he hadn’t thought of that. Clearly he should’ve.

The beast sighs “well, I’m not letting you leave without giving me something in return.”

He shivers, but has an idea

“Well, I was in the woods to pick some berries. If you let me go they’re all yours”

He laughs again

“Foolish boy, they’re already mine. I simply allow you to harvest them, if I wanted berries I would get them myself.”

Oh, well that didn’t work.

“Hmm.. I have an idea of how you can repay me” he runs his claws over his arm again, blood starting to appear from the earlier grip.

He hesitates “h-how..?”

He can’t see it, but the beast grins…

“You’ll see soon enough”

He gasps, trying to wiggle away as the claw hooks onto his tunic

“Silly boy, we need to get off these wet clothes. You don’t want to freeze, do you?”

He rips the fabric easily, tearing through the wool fibers shielding him. He laughs again at his reaction, teasingly dragging his claws down his chest before hooking the top of his trousers.

“Wait-“

But it’s too late, the fabric is tearing away before he can stop it. Not that he could’ve stopped it, anyway.

He whimpers, feeling even colder now as his damp skin is exposed.

“Now, we need to warm you up. I have a few ideas, and lucky for you this would also count as my… payment” his voice gets even deeper at the last part.

The boy looks at where he thinks the beast is, still completely blind in the intrusive void.

“Um, what would that be?”

The beast chuckles, dragging his claws lower.

“Oh, dear… you don’t know? It’s spring”

He’s confused for a moment before his eyes widen, shaking his head and trying to twist the shackle off.

He chuckles even lower

“I’m going to have some fun with you, human.”

He tries to escape, whining and crying as he struggles. The beast watches in amusement for a few moments, before growing impatient and pinning him down harshly.

“You have two options: I have my way with you and you get to leave, or you get to be my next meal. Which will it be?”

He gasps, everything becoming too real all at once. Why did he have to come in here?!

He’s silent for a moment

“The-the first one” his voice breaks.

He laughs darkly, “good choice…”

The beast looms over him, hot breath fanning against his face. His body radiates heat, a harsh musky smell filling his senses. He struggles again, weaker now. Trying desperately to distract himself, trying to avoid letting himself fall into a daze.

“You know, I’m being nice by trying to get you ready. I could always just go for it. You should at least take what little mercy I’m giving you.”

He cries weakly, knowing he can’t escape this. He decides to take the advice. He may as well make this easier on himself.

The second he relaxes his guard the pheromones flood his mind. Invading his brain and body and engulfing him in a strangely comforting warmth. Maybe this wouldn’t be so bad.

The wolf senses his submission, smiling down at his perfect prey.

The grip on his hips is what draws him back to reality. Head swimming, mind fuzzy. But the grip is the least of his concern when he felt the beast press into him.

The pheromones have prepared him well, it doesn’t even hurt as he pushes inside.

The wolf doesn’t give him any time to get used to it, even if he had needed it. In seconds he’s thrusting into him deeply, growling and gripping his body harder.

He cries out again, both fear and disgust; but both are overshadowed by an unnatural draw towards the feeling. He likes it. He hates that he likes it. He closes his eyes again.

The boy tries to distract himself but nothing could help him escape the overwhelming situation. He struggles again, trying so hard to pretend he isn’t enjoying it. The beast’s body presses against him heavily, hot pants and sharp claws covering his torso and neck. He growls, deep, bellowing, as his thrusts become even harsher. Fast but deep, the sound just added to the force. There was no way to avoid the reality, and he started to accept it.

The wolf notices and laughs again “there you go, dear. After all you’re the one who chose this”

The words cut deep and he whines again, “you didn’t give me much of a choice”

The beast grips his shoulders and slams him against the ground, knocking his breath out. “I will happily go through with the other option, bitch.”

He starts thrusting again, much more viciously, with absolutely no regard for his mate. The boy starts crying harder, sobbing as the wolf starts clawing against his sides and chest. Long, deep scratches that quickly start to bleed. He cries more at the pain, wondering why it had to be him.

“Don’t lie to me,” he pants, thrusts becoming erratic “you love this, your body loves this”

He cries again, choking and stuttering, body convulsing every time he pushes back in.

The beast doesn’t bother taking his time to savor it, in all honesty the only reason he’s doing this is because he has to. Spring is such an annoying time, instinct overwhelming actual desires. If he could have his way this would be another wolf, but that’s not how it worked out. So a human will have to do, and it’s surprisingly satisfying. With another wolf you have to worry about actually courting them, this human just wandered right in. An easy target for his pent up hormones. Maybe it’s good that it worked out this way.

Snapping back to reality, the wolf starts to slow a bit. Thrusts becoming less about the power he had over his partner and more about the pressure building up. His mind was swimming with possibilities of how this would end. He had promised the boy he could leave when he was done, but wolves are notorious for lying to get what they want.

In a moment, many things happen at once. The boy stiffens, body reacting to the beast’s. He digs his claws in, forcing the knotted base to push inside of his captive’s body. With one more harsh thrust he’s filling him, and before he can think about it his teeth sink into the tender flesh of the boy’s neck. He cries out at the pain, the sudden rush of his own hormones pushing him over the edge and into the most humiliating orgasm of his life.

The wolf stills

He pants harshly, aftershocks running through his abdomen, small pumps of semen shooting out with every one. He doesn’t try to pull out, not that he would be able to anyway.

The boy looks to the side, seeing stars in the blackness. Whimpering quietly as his body gives out.

He comes to hours later, still chained inside the cave. He whips his head around, still unable to see.

The beast looks over at him “oh, you’re awake” he was laying off to the side, voice echoing around the room.

“Um, I get to leave now, right?” He asks, timidly

“Oh, about that” he stands up and walks over to him, kneeling down and looking over his face

“Funny you mention that, you can leave, sure. I’ll unchain you myself. But you’ll come back. I bit you, everyone will know what happened. And even if that doesn’t change anything, it’s spring like I said. Our bodies have done what they’re supposed to do, I can smell it on you.”

He freezes

“W-what?!”

The wolf laughs “your scent has changed. The human nose isn’t strong enough to pick up on it, but mine is. How should I put this-“ he pauses “well, let’s just say the next nine months will be very interesting.”

Hmm… yeah, I should seek therapy.

If you find any errors or typos let me know, I’ve proof read this multiple times but probably still missed a few.

[dykefever]

ello laura i do not usually open blocked tags but i did out of curiosity n stumbled across ur post abt the apparent height disk horse that is happening rn (<-blissfully unaware). also this is the ghost of marxismlupinism btw sending as an anon cause on my main blog idk what a semus and ririus is never heard of them cunts.

anyway I wanted to say that yeah basically it's like such a non issue if people are casting r&s into gendered roles, like even if people were genderbending rs into a literal cishet couple I could not care less who gives a shit it's harry potter fanfiction.

that being said I think it's very telling abt the hp fandom that the whole like "writing s as 'feminine' and a bottom comes with him being short" (which btw... i mean I'm sure there's some fanfic like that but I can't say I've really read more than like 5 fics that fit that description? and I've unfortunately read a lot of rs fic lmao... it's literally not hard to avoid. skill issue if you can't filter the fanfic you read to not have it) is portrayed as homophobia against [cis] gay men instead of the obvious transmisogyny it is—ie setting smallness & youth as standards of femininity. that's why so many closeted trans women/trans women who can't access hrt dread growing older, that's why so much emphasis is put on age of transition in transfem spaces, and that's why even gay man spaces have concepts of "twink death", because femininity is understood to be hairless and pretty and dainty and youthful and small and all these standards that are difficult to achieve if you've been through androgenic puberty and/or if you have testes that continue to produce testosterone that continues to masculinise your body as you grow older. portraying s (or any given character ime when it comes to tme fans in fandom spaces) as feminine is seen as going hand in hand with physically feminising him—bc femininity that's not on a feminised body is obviously met with disgust, it's unattractive, it's horrifying, etc. and the obvious source of the tendency to portray feminine male characters this way is that there's only one acceptable form of camab femininity (or "acceptable", even that is very conditional). and yes it does affect cis gays like I said above w how gay men talk about eg "twink death" but that doesn't mean it's not a primarily transmisogynistic impulse to show that, for most of us, femininity is a hopeless cause, it's not allowed, we'll never pass or be beautiful or whatever.

and ftr I'm just complaining, I definitely don't think the solution is to produce More Harry Potter Fanfictions where s is like, tall and hairy and feminine or whatever, knowing the hp fandom I'm sure they'll also turn that into transmisogynistic caricatures too. the only real solution would be for all these ppl to stop reading hp fanfic and start reading transfeminist theory but if ur a harry potter fan in 2023 you're obviously never gonna do that. so. yeah just complaining for the sake of complaining lol not expecting transfeminism to catch on among harry potter fans of all people anytime soon

hi (redacted)!! actually made sure to tag that post so u and all my other normal followers could avoid it but i respect the curiosity x im sure you've probably seen the height discourse many times over in your time in the fandom and it's the same absolute bullshit every time. i appreciate your additions to this post as a transwoman because i obviously don't have that perspective and you've kind of deepened my understanding of the issues around it n how transmisogyny comes into play here!!

in my prev posts i was kind of addressing, albeit likely not clearly, how people often say they dislike 'short s' as a kind of shorthand for saying they dislike 'fem s', which is really saying (as people dig themselves deeper in their explanations) that they don't like certain aspects of 'femininity' in a man and then spin it to say that it's because they're writing a heteronormative relationship onto a gay couple. i appreciate what you're saying here as well of the issues of the only way to write s as feminine is like small, dainty, hairless etc. and how that is an issue of transmisogyny rather than like homophobia. (correct me if i've misunderstood tho!!)

at the end of the day it definitely like, doesn't matter how people are writing hp characters like no great and impressive change is happening and the fandom is full of too many transphobes for that to be the case. i just don't understand why people are so pressed by these certain characterisations they appear to dislike so bad when i genuinely barely come across these s characterisations they apparently can't escape. like i don't see anything i don't want to because i just unfollow and block people ....it is not that hard like...

anyway thank u for ur contributions ghost of marxismlupinism, i appreciate it xx godspeed xx

👀 mcc discourse? /gen

okay mcc discourse time everyone strap in

the three things i see people being pissed about most often are the lack of lgbt+ people in the event, the specific lgbt+ creators playing and, of course, technoblade being involved. so, let's break down why all three of these things are fucking dumb.

1) "there isnt enough lgbt+ creators".

this would be a fair argument that i could get behind...if not for the way mcc is set up for this specific event—and by that i mean it is a youtube sponsored event. the ccs involved need to have platforms on youtube to be able to participate to begin with, as it is a charity event. mcc doesn't have a lot of lgbt+ streamers involved this time around because a lot of those streamers straight up could not stream this event and scott literally said this himself.

on top of that, this isnt a "get invited and you can play!" event, it is a "you need to apply to be involved" event, meaning, if people dont meet the deadline, or they dont apply at fucking all, they cant play. that's not on fucking scott or anyone organizing mcc, that is on the ccs (if they even wanna be involved, i could not blame them for avoiding mcc after last times mess) who didnt apply in time/at all.

2) "there isnt enough diversity in the lgbt+ streamers" aka "im erasing people's identities and, again, disregarding the literal qualifications for this mcc which include having a youtube platform"

i keep seeing people bring up how every lgbt+ person in mcc is white and able bodied and neurotypical etc etc (which is an inaccurate statement anyways) as reasons why they "arent good enough" or they're bringing up how there "isnt any of [x] sexuality/gender involved" as if that's the organizers faults and i uh. i hate to break it to yall but, again, this is an apply to get in event. if these ccs that were "more diverse" (bc why the fuck are we referring to these ccs playing in fucking minecraft championship as some weird ass diversity characters instead of real life people who are more than their race, disability, etc.) met the requirements and were lgbt+ but just didnt apply, while a lot of other white, cis, neurotypical, able bodied, whatever the fuck else, did? yeah. nobody can change that. scott didnt just pick and chose who gets to play, there are literal rules for this event and also applications that are involved like?? hello????? and obviously i would love to see some more lgbt+ creators from different backgrounds with different identities in the cast, that would be awesome, but that is ultimately not up to the organizers. they cant force people to play. they cant skip people in the waiting lists. they can't have people who cant stream be involved in this mcc as their first event, both because it would be sad for them not to stream their first mcc and because it is a literal charity event.

and, to make things worse, a lot of people are saying there "isnt any trans people this mcc" which is just. a blatant lie. eret isnt cis and sqiashey is genderfluid, yall just dont like eret so you decide to refer to her as a "cis man" constantly, which is transphobic, and yall also dont know sqiashey so instead of doing research, you started running ur mouths and then didn't apologize when you got called on it.

like. even if eret was truly problematic, which i dont believe they are as they have apologized for every little mistake theyve made and dealt with the backlash from entitled little privileged teenagers online all while not complaining even the slightest bit, that still doesnt give you a right to misgender them and erase their identity as a non cis person entirely because you're mad over a fucking minecraft event like??? how fucking privileged you must be that this is what gets you heated. not any actual homophobia or transphobia, but apparently "lgbt+ people in minecraft not being diverse enough". choke.

3) "technoblade is a lesphobe, why is he in mcc"

tw on this section: i discuss my expierences with homophobia as an afab nblw briefly and reclaim the d slur (if you wanna read this section and avoid the homophobia discussion and/or d slur, skip from "as someone who is nblw" to "techno making a shitty joke").

all of techno's lesphobic comments are from 5+ years ago and were, at worst, jokes in poor taste. as someone who is nblw, i have had men follow me and my friend around and call us dykes for holding hands in a museum, i have had my family members harrass me for my sexuality and casually talk about how im gross and wrong for liking girls and i have been punished by literal teachers for showing "too much pda" with my past girlfriends despite the fact that ive never even kissed someone on campus before, just held hands and hugged. techno making some shitty jokes when he was a teenager years ago, while also having a plethora of examples of him being an lgbt+ ally, which does include lesbians, should not be treated the same way as literal bigots calling queer people slurs. and if you think it should be, you have had it fucking lucky.

yes, it is valid to be upset over these jokes, they're fucking weird and he shouldnt have made them, but to treat it with the exact same seriousness as a grown ass adult showing blatant homophobia in current times? no. fuck no.

extra notes bc there's some minor discourse points i left out: no, dream team shouldnt get to be involved in this event over other cishet ccs involved just because they have bigger platforms because this quite literally isnt about them, it's about lgbt+ people and they just didnt happen to get in. shut the fuck up. stop mentioning ant and velvet as people who shouldve been involved, they're quite literally together rn doing little daytrips and shit and they most likely dont wanna spend their time together playing fucking minecraft. also, stop saying techno should be replaced with ranboo (or anyone for that matter), it breaks ranboo's fucking boundaries and him donating 100k to the trevor project doesnt suddenly mean he gets to skip the mcc waiting list.

in conclusion: twitter stop whining over pride mcc, your privilege is showing.

(tagging @tauntwenthome bc you said you wanted to hear as well <3)

yet another ask dump yeehaw!

do you ever think that jay's mother was one of those bitch who believes in horoscope and tarots and things like that and so he believes in these things too, or it is just me projecting?

sheila haywood took one look at jason's birthchart said 'nah this won't do' and left.

Wait, but what happens when the justice league does find out that Bruce and John fucked? Lmao it sounds like it would be hilarious, really, I don’t want a justice league that doesn’t make fun of Bruce for like his entire life.

barry runs out of the meeting immediately and comes back with an entire sti testing kit. diana fully seriously wants bruce to get tested while bruce is sitting there like 'come on guys, you're being ridiculous, i already checked twice'

john is standing in the corner clearly offended while bruce is just like 'don't even say anything, constantine, you fucked a shark'

tim was like "i'm drake now" and everyone was like ahh so your fursona is a dragon and tim was like pffffft no. ducks.

on the one hand, good for him, on the other hand, bro, how do you still have a secret identity when your superhero name is just your last name,,,,

Your fic on ao3 was GOLD PLEASE CONTINUE I loved Dinah's cameo btw ( @purple-vixen

thanks so much! i already continued but this ask is like 10 years old because i'm a notorious procrastinator (also yes! i love dinah so much aahhhhhhhhhhhh)

I've FINALLY been watching the Batman animated series and I gotta say, after watching "the gray ghost" I am CONVINCED that Batman is a closeted super hero geek who was 100% freaking out the first time he met Superman and is just REALLY good at hiding it.

bruce internally: holy fuck holy shit holy fuck holy shit holy fuck holy shit holy fuck holy shit holy fuck holy shit bruce externally: get out of my city, alien

AHHH ur multimedia fic is the only thing that brings me happiness anymore continue it forever pls

uhh thanks, but can't continue it forever because my attention span is that of a toddler on crack on a good day and i can't function without at least 10 things going on at the same time and music in the background

Oi, so I'm getting into dc and watching batman the animated series, and they use fruitcake a lot. Which I thought was very funny and wanted to share w you - Denilla

wait like fruitcake (food) or fruitcake (derogatory) ?

young justice 🤝 teen titans slut shaming batman

tim drake and dick grayson to their respective teams 'you guys stop it, that's my dad'

Happyhoganon: If an eighty year old Batman had fought crime in Gotham City for decades and the only threats to him and the city lately are a wheel chair bounded Penguin, your usual purse snatchers and a few con artists popping up every now and then, how well could the Dark Knight do in maintaining the peace in Gotham despite him being just somewhat fit to do that as an elderly man (which says A LOT given how old he is)

uhh he'll probably do what my grandpa does and that is ruthlessly prank them until they die of shame.

in the death in the family interactive movie there's an ending where Jason is tasked with raising Damian and he decides he's gonna raise Damian to take down the waynes and al ghuls which uh maybe isn't great BUT the idea of Jason raising Damian... PRICELESS. CHAOTIC. I just need more people to know about this :)

yes i saw that wow holy shit but jason would accidentally drop damian on his head one (1) hour in and jason just yeets him into the lazarus pit.

Headcanon: The Penguin has a really hard time fighting any of the Robins because of his avian obsession means there's always a small part of his mind that's like "Birb. Child. Protect" ( @subspacecadet )

as soon as dick becomes nightwing the penguin is like 'you know what, fuck this dude' and shoots at him.

Y'all talking about King Shark dating Constantine, let's not forget about John literally hooking up with Satan

listen there's a clear difference between monsterfucker and satanfucker in that king shark is literally a shark and satan still looks like a normal dude

Does everyone in Gotham think Batman is a teen dad?

everyone in gotham thinks batman has been around since gotham was founded, but they do think that bruce wayne is actually a teen father and dick grayson's biological dad.

why. why would you do that fancast when you know it will only hurt people

what? i loved my fancast it was really well done. i did it with good representation in mind and i really managed that with alfred pennyworth being ✨italian✨

Seeing james charles a jason gave me psychic damage how dare you i need to wash my eyes

well that's a you problem isn't it?

do you think dick grayson thirst tweets about nightwing just to annoy his family/cause problems on purpose in general?

he thinks nightwing is hot, next question.

holy jiminy cricket batman, its as cold as the good lords ass crack in here!!

i- what? this is why i don't fuck with english expressions it's way too goddamn weird

Brooooooo, your teen dad!Bruce au is soooo good. I've got brainrot.

Honestly if you ever write anymore, I'd read that shit twice. Sign me the fuck up. Good stuff, Good Stuff.

uh yeah i'm thinking about writing a fic, but i have exams coming up and i don't wanna fail because that would suck. but after i'll certainly be writing more tho

your teen dad AU is so great! bruce acting like a big brother for all of like a week before he's telling everyone about his son. what if in the AU dick meets the JL because they need to rescue him? maybe he's in trouble/kidnapped at a gala and bruce starts calling for JL. clark finds him and has to fly with dick to bring him home - that's how dick and clark meet and superman becomes dick's fave hero. he goes around the manor thinking he can fly with a red blanket draped around him like a cape.

actually- if you want a young dad! bruce fic with like that kinda stuff(just with damian) go check uhh- in for a penny by cdelphiki. it's really good and bruce is like 24/25-ish. (and dick's there!!!)

This account has solely convinced me that Tim is a trash goblin ( @hamilcat-and-magic-turtle )

because he is. that boy has slept in dumpsters on multiple occasions even if he is the son of a billionaire.

Okay but when you said victory dance I did think of the whole justice league defeating the big bad and then they all start flossing

well that's exactly what hal jordan does and that's why batman uses a gun now. no but the victory dance in my opinion is like the 'we're all in this together' dance from high school musical.

The horrors in Invincible s1 was nothing compared to the comics, I cant wait for s2

oh well okay, i mean i personally react to horror and violence by laughing awkwardly so i can't wait to be called a monster for accidentally laughing at a mass murder.

I'm currently watching Batman: The Brave and The Bold and- Bruce is just talking about Oliver like he's an old love (@nightwings-kid)

okay im going to watch that lmao that's totally and completely in character for him tho.

The invincible comic is like super gratuitous with its violence so much so I'm shocked the show was able to adapt it in a faithful way! Anyway had the show been live action it absolutely wouldn't have the same impact as it does as an animated show and I'm so glad so many people agree with me on that

also because a live action casting would've been like uhh amanda stenberg for amber, the dude- the guy from the supernatural but with a mustache for omni-man, and scarlet johanssen for debbie grayson

Debbie grayson is a milf, yes. You're welcome for the invincible propoganda, now you can questions your life. Bruce def seems like the perfect father next to Omni-man. Like they really took a rip off justice league and I was like well, now I'm attached even tho I was like hah I know who they're supposed to be. And then bam- death gore death gore gore gore sad Mark grayson just had to have daddy issues. Why does every character have daddy issues. I'm sick of the attacks

because daddy issues make a person arguably funnier, that's why i'm not even remotely funny (haha good dad flex). i liked that it was dark contextually, but not in the colouring, bc i hate when it's like 'uh yeah graphic murder and now a shot so dark you have to sit in a dark room and squint at the screen to faintly see the characters. (like dcau ugh)

About the Wayne insurance, for a moment I thought you would put the video with moans over the waves.

i mean- i could've done that, but rick rolling seemed more family friendly.

Its the first time in forever that im surpise rickrolled, i usually expect it. Congratulations (i really should know better this is tumblr)

i get rickrolled so often but i actually like the song so i dont really give a fuck

Actually, my information about Damian and John's kids is outdated because it was revealed that the old men telling the kids stories about the Supersons were actually Jon and Damian the whole time. I was blinded by my thirst for Grandpa!Bruce Wayne but I was wrong... I liked my version better, tbh (@artemisa97)

fair enough. but i'd honestly like to see damian and jon getting together, just because it's a really fun dynamic and their friendship was really cute when they were kids. (also idk maybe it would be nice to have one (1) main batfam/superfam character that's not cishet)

How am i JUST finding your blog skdskfkd you're so fucking funny and ur takes are hot

i thought u were calling me hot :( but youre not :( crime detected (but lmao thanks)

So I have depression and I swear that your memes are one of the few things that have made me laugh so thank you 💛🥺 (@katekanebadass)

aw you're welcome, and i hope you're doing okay!

The metropolis memes are so funny, I love them 💀😌

i think metropolis is also so fucking funny it deserves more attention imagine having your entire police force being upstaged by an alien from kansas and his kids

as an american i feel your complete lack of knowledge of us geography is just so sexy (platonic) ❤️

thanks so much (i also don't know any other geography, i'm not kidding, like you can tell me you're from hungary and it will just blank, there will be nothing that comes to mind)

In the DC universe they don't say "Can't have shit in Detroit" they say "Can't have shit in Gotham"

this just reminds me of that guy whose porch got stolen like the steps to his door, and i'm thinking of people living in gotham and waking up without a front door and going "can't have shit in gotham"

honestly all i know about chicago is the bean, so. what would gotham's famous sculpture be?

gigantic gargoyle statue in front of one of the police precincts because a villain thought it was a smart way to keep the police inside, but it's too heavy to move.

why tf do people go on about how batman "works alone" or how he's the "lone wolf" when he like 38290202 members in his family

bc people think it's cool that a grown man in his 30s has no friends or family instead of calling it what it is (sad)

Bruce is gotham's sugar daddy

why would say something so controversial yet so brave.

my favorite batfamily fanfictions are the ones where they use their shitty codenames, unironically, in any context

dick: gerard way are you in position, gerard way are you in position

tim: for the last fucking time, my codename is 'totally not count olaf' this week, abbafan 3000

dick: shut up my codename isn't 'abbafan 3000'

dick: it's 'abbafan number 1' and you know it

I have a feeling Tim drake is ur favourite batfamily member but okay u don't have favs if u say so ok

i mean he is, i won't deny it. but i love each and every one of the batfam just the same, i just have a weak spot for short dumbass nerds, because i'm a short dumbass nerd.

Omg i fuckin love boy meets world too fam shsjkfk

bro boy meets world was the shit!!! it was just fire and awesome and so fucking great like bro. it was so good im not even going to be accepting criticism

you know I find the whole "joker completes batman" thing a bit disgusting considering the horrendous stuff the batfamily went through because of the joker and let's not get started on the "joker has a point" thing like yeah he's this cool complex villain but he's absolutely batshit crazy

like yes! i get what you mean the joker just fucking sucks man he doesn't do shit for batman's character or the batfam he's literally just annoying as fuck. like the joker has a point' shit is so stupid. i will accept 'magneto was right' because he fucking was and i think he didn't do anything wrong, but joker? he's just like that. he's not even cool and complex he's just a weirdo with a bleach kink at this point.

ALSO YOUR RACISM POST- SO TRUE BESTIE

thanks bestie, i'm glad you agree.

in today's essay of why I think cass should become batman- I was thinking Tim would probably be the most efficient batman in many ways but I also think he wouldn't want to be batman tbh none of the batfamily members would want to be batman because they're trying to outgrow him but cass is the one who wants to represent the symbol that is batman

absofuckinglutely i will say it again and again that cass represents the batsymbol more than anyone in the batfam, in batgirl (2000) she literally didn't care about anything else than bruce's oath to not kill, she thought the batsymbol was more important than anything in gotham. she's just an excellent character because her motivation to not kill is not 'i'm scared i can't come back from it' or 'well my dad says no murder so i'll go along with it' but that she's killed somebody as a young child and she never wants to kill a human ever again and that's so fucking beautiful for a new batman like yes.

need more cass, duke and tim inclusion in gothamite memes

yes yes, a tall order of cass, duke and tim coming up in 1-14 business days

oldest to youngest batfam members cus I'm confused as shit

okay order of being taken in: dick, jason, tim, cass, damian, duke order of age: alfred, bruce, dick, cass, jason, tim, duke, damian (though cass and jason are around the same age general consensus is that cass is a little older)

I'm so confused Steph is a redhead?? like how was it that hard to get this right? the source material is literally right there and free

cw is jared, 19

do you receive anon hate? if so, how do you deal with it

uh no, i'm not remotely popular enough to get anon hate and i also don't say a lot of things that would attract anon hate, but i do send anon hate to @the-real-peter-parker because he forgot about the specialists from winx club

Wait how many languages do you speak??

uhh- 5 if you include latin, but that's a dead language and i'm really bad at it. but english, my native language, german, and french also, tho german and french not fluently.

You can mix aguaepanela with aguardiente 😈 and is tasty

okay but now i'm curious if the liquor deserves the 😈 emoji or if that's a you problem. but i googled it and it looks like something you'd take one sip of and then not remember the rest of your evening.

#i love all of you guys so much thanks for all these asks #some of these are literally from march but fuck it #the day tumblr puts dates next to anon messages is the day i close my inbox crawl into a hole and die #it's such a basic task to answer asks but i don't want to bother anyone with asks clogging up their timeline #and if i don't have a funny or good answer i'm like 'uhh okay won't answer it now then' #so this is for you #also i deleted a few asks because it gives me mental pain to see my inbox go over 50 and it's almost at 100 #i was complaining about having too many asks to the-real-peter-parker like months ago and then i had 45 asks in my inbox #now it's amassed to going over 100 twice #but no i love all of you and you're great and you're all fantastic and i lvoe you #muchos kiss kiss #kiss kiss for my kiddies lvoe you #invincible spoilers #dc #dcu #dc comics #ask #anon #bataranswers #i really wanna try aguapanela now i'm gonna see if i can find panela somewhere and review it for you babes #uh yeah that's it #muchos gracias for all your questions babes

Top 10 Worst Tropes in Romance - Part 2

Disclaimer: This is MY opinion, you do you.

Part 1: Here

1. The Child Partner

I’m not talking about literal children, because duh. What I mean is the a person who needs their partner to emotionally parent them.

Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like the whole point of a romantic relationship is to be with an equal. You’re supposed to be teammates, best friends, and lovers.

Of course, I'm not including cases where one partner is disabled or chronically/mentally ill and needs the other to take care of them - that’s an entirely separate thing. 

I'm referring to people (usually cishet men), who constantly need their partner to manage their moods and emotions. They always have some ~trauma~ to manipulate the partner into staying in the relationship in order to keep reassuring them, confirming their self-esteem, and even doing their cooking and cleaning, as if they aren't abled adults with two functioning hands.

That shit sucks!

Imagine doing that for someone all the time and then also trying to have a kid (or multiple kids) with that person. Not only will you be taking care of your actual child; but also - your partner-child. Stop normalizing lazy, emotionally stunted men. That shit ain't cut no matter how hard his abs are or how big his dick is.

2. “I’ve been in love with you since the first moment we met.”

I don’t know what it is about this trope, but it shows up in many romances and it always makes me uncomfortable. How the hell are you supposed to react to that? 

Oh, you’ve been in love with me since the first time we met? Yikes, my dude.

You can’t even fall in love with someone that fast anyway. You're not in love with the person, you’re in love with your idea of them!

The only acceptable version of this is the one where it’s more along the lines “I thought I might fall in love with you if I spent any more time with you.” But other than that, I really don't understand why this is a thing?

3. Lust = Love

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a prude. I’m perfectly fine with couples who have loads and loads of sex. I’m also perfectly fine with casual sex and friends-with-benefits and any other consensual arrangement between adults.

I just get tripped up when pretty much all a couple does is have sex. They have little in common outside of sex, spend little time together when not having sex, and don’t share any hobbies, interests or even conversation topics. Or worse, when they aren’t having sex, they’re fighting. 

If you want your characters to get laid, that’s cool. But if you want me to believe they are also falling in love - you’re gonna have to try a little harder.

4. BDSM = Abuse

Yes, abuse happens under the pretense of BDSM, but BDSM is NOT inherently abusive. It only happens within pre-established boundaries and safe words and with explicit consent. The only people who claim it's abuse, are people who have a vested interest in controlling what women and queer people do with our bodies.

So I really, really hate it when people use “It’s just BDSM, don’t be so uptight” to justify their rapey, abusive love interest’s actions. If the submissive has not already consented, or their consent was obtained through manipulation or intoxication - it’s not meaningful consent.

BDSM is a lot more complex than some of the simplistic catchphrases we use to explain it to the vanillas, and we can discuss those complexities for hours, but at the one thing is definitely true - the Dominant only has as much power as the submissive is willing to give. If they (knowingly) cross a boundary or take power without the consent of the submissive, it’s not power exchange, it’s abuse, pure and simple.

5. "All women want him. All men want to be him"

Really? ALL women? Are you sure?

I hate to tell you this, but some women are exclusively attracted to other women. And some women aren’t attracted to anyone. Some women have low libidos, and some women just don’t prioritize sex and relationships for whatever reason. And some women are in happy, fulfilling monogamous relationships already.

And all men want to BE him? Did you know that some men are attracted to other men? They might want a piece of that too. Or perhaps, they just don’t value being some alpha douchebag and are happy to be their much better-adjusted self. That's a thing.

Can we let this cliché die already? Please?

6. Giving up your dreams for ~love~.

Oh man, this is the worst! And why is it nearly always the woman, who has to make a choice between her career and ~~~LoVe~~?

So many books/movies etc. start with this powerful career woman and then by the end reduce her to nothing but a trophy to her man. That’s not feminist, it just keeps perpetuating the same tired gender roles.

And I can’t help but think about the future of this relationship. What if it doesn’t work out? Then the partner who the dreams were given up for looks like a jerk, even if they never asked for this.

And even if it works out, the partner who gave up their dream job, or opportunity, or whatever, will always have this “what if” at the back of their mind. Over time, they may even end up resenting their SO, especially if things don’t work out for them career-wise.

Just such a bad trope all around. It’s not romantic, it’s toxic, and co-dependant and I want it to stop.

7. He treats everyone like crap ***but you***.

You know the limitus test to see if someone’s a good person? Look at how they treat people who are “beneath” them. Their servers, the cleaning lady, etc.

If this guy treats servers like crap, treats his friends and family like crap, treats everyone like crap, except for the person whose pants he wants to get in (or wants to keep getting in for the foreseeable future), why are we romanticizing him? He’s a selfish jackass.

You can have a grumpy (but ultimately caring and good-natured) character, that's fine. But if he only treats people like humans when it benefits him - that's not sexy, that's sociopathic.

8. Love Cures All

Ahhh, the worst of them all. Truly, having a character who suffers from mental illness or has a major trauma, but oh look, they got some cuddles from the love interest and now they are all good!

Just stop, please. It’s so damaging to the people who are going through this, to tell them that all they need to feel better is ~~~LoVe~~~. And if they aren’t getting better? Well, they just haven’t gotten enough ~~~LoVe~~~!

It’s also damaging to the partner - no one should have this much responsibility on their shoulders.

Obviously, the love of a partner, friends, and family can HELP with the healing process, but it’s not enough by itself. Get them some goddamn therapy, please.

9. Accidental Pregnancy

I don’t know about you, but for most people I know, myself included, accidental pregnancy would be an absolute nightmare, not something romantic.

Do you know how bad my entire generation is doing financially? And people use this as a plot device to strengthen the relationship?

Also, relationships get weaker after having a child, not stronger. Babies are cute when they are sleeping, the rest of the time they are crying, screaming messes. Yeah, why wouldn’t sleep deprivation and constantly hurting everywhere strengthen your relationship? 🙄🙄🙄

10. Violent Men

IRL, violent men are scary, not sexy. Even if the violence is never directed at the love interest, chances are that over time it will be. But even if it’s not, why would you ever want to date someone who has the emotional maturity of a pre-schooler?

Because after pre-school, kids tend to learn to solve their problems with their words. But I guess your love interest hasn’t matured past the age of 6, which coincidentally also leads back to the first trope on this list. Charming.

1,2,3,4?

1) I’m aroace and agender. he/him are my pronouns.

2 and 4) It took me so fucking long. I have probably thought i was every letter anyone has ever put in the acronym before finally settling. I first thought I was a lesbian in middleschool because I mentioned I had never had a crush on any boys and a girl I was friends with said that meant I was a lesbian so I identified as that for a while.

When I went to highschool, I sort of realized I felt the same for everyone, so I started identifying as “demisexual”(which…. i thought meant what pansexual means because someone i met at camp ided as demi-pansexual and i got them mixed up LMFAOOOO).

After that, I stopped thinking about my sexuality and kinda just was like “no i’m cishet” because I was in a really shitty position surrounded by a bunch of “ironic” lgbtphobia.

Then I learned about asexuality on a forum my friend at the time ran. She immediately started mocking and laughing at the person who was asexual in the mod chat and talking about how it was fake, how it was a disorder, and how people were so stupid that they can’t realized how fucked up they are and shit. 

Despite her reaction, I started considering that was what I was. But I also started iding as a lesbian again, instead of aromantic or just asexual, because I didn’t want to be “completely fucked up” in my own words because of her reaction to it.

This was also around the time I first tried to come out to someone. It was to her. We were getting lunch together and I only subtly hinted at my orientation and she immediately started mocking me and telling me I should ask a doctor about it. That was when I stopped iding as asexual again and kind of forced myself into a few bad situations online to try and “help fix” myself. Don’t force yourself into sexual situations, kids.

After a while, I stopped talking to the people who where this toxic and left the school club I was in that was filled with them. A few months before I left, I started IDing as a lesbian again, not asexual this time. Once I was finally out, I started questioning my gender. The first thing I Ided as was agender, but I was kind of still “testing the waters” with it and still used she/her pronouns and didn’t tell anyone about it for several years. I also started IDing as demisexual again(I had the right definition this time) because I still considered asexuality to be “fucked up”.

After a little while, and one of my new friends mentioning asexuality in a positive light, I started IDing as asexual again, and mentioning it to them. That was the first time I ever heard someone say something positive about asexuality. I was still iding as a lesbian at this time.A couple years passed, and I slowly started Iding as a biromantic asexual because I felt the same for men and women and was still terrified of being aro/ace and fucking ace discourse was picking up which definitely contributed to this lmfaoooooo. There’s a very specific kind of dread that comes with never having seen any positive mention of your sexuality, being given one sliver of hope, then being thrust back into the cold hard reality that even the people you hoped would understand fucking hate you that definitely can cause you to misidentify. I also started using he/she/they pronouns at this time, still IDing as agender. I call this the “natter” phase because this was when fucking natter was popular.

Anyways, after that, I slowly started Iding as A trans man for a while because I realized a lot of my body and social issues were SEVERE GENDER DYSPHORIA(transmeds fuck off that’s not what made me trans. I knew I was NB before I realized how bad my dysphoria was) lmaooooo. I came out as one to my dad, picked a name, etc etc etc. All of THAT stuck, I’m still going by the same name, pronouns, etc. For a while then, I also started considering myself aromantic and gay. because I was okay with sex and for some reason, aromanticism felt ‘safer’ than asexuality.

Then finally, started IDing as Agender again, still transmasc, he/him pronouns, still on T, still ‘medically transitioning’. Plus, I pulled my head out of my ass and stopped trying to label my sexuality on what I think is ‘less fucked up’ and actually label my actual orientation.

I still definitely struggle severely with hating my sexuality. My nervous system and cardiovascular system make sure that whenever its even mentioned my heartrate spikes and chest physically hurts and it doesn’t appear to plan on getting better any time soon. So that’s that. But at least I’m not trying to put a bandaid on feeling fucked up anymore.

tl;dr: I ided as everything but aro/ace for a long time because I thought aro/ace was bad and broken and fucked up because i first learned about it through someone calling someone who ided as aro/ace as bad and broken and fucked up.

3) This is kind of a short one after that massive fucking rant but I get misgendered a lot and usually I just fucking ignore it lmao

#might have gotten a few things mixed up but #I think that's everything? man orientation and gender are hard to figure out and it takes forever #so don't worry if you change your label a lot #Anonymous

Seven Years Ago

We’re coming up on what would have been  the seventh anniversary of me and Tal’s relationship, so I’ve been thinking about it a lot.

One thing I’ve figured out from talking about the smoldering wreckage of my former relationship with my therapist is....

I should have seen this coming.

It’s one of those things you don’t really think about in the heat of the moment, or even necessarily when you’re living with a pattern.  But I started talking about how I couldn’t understand how Tal suddenly became so chill about sexism, homophobia, and transphobia, and it kind of smacked me in the facer.

When I met Tal, they were firmly identified as a woman.  They were strongly identified as an atheist.  The kind who complained about religion even when I didn’t think it was particularly relevant.  “I could never be in a relationship with a theist,” Tal would proclaim to me, who had been in several relationships with theists and didn’t care until they started saying things like “God hates....”

Then, they went strong into feminism and turned on atheism.  How dare they claim atheism is just a single position on a single issue? they would proclaim.  And it was and it is, and I was (and still am) an atheist, but I didn’t bother fighting this because it wasn’t really central to my identity.

Then they were a lesbian, but still definitely cis.  Or maybe bisexual, but definitely cis.  And they were outraged at the way feminists treated lesbians (and in a broader aspect, LGBT individuals).  Kind of ironic, because at this point, they were upset that their girlfriend (me) was being excluded.  Also, asexual at some point.  This was fine by me, because we weren’t really having sex anyway. I didn’t care.  And then there was the intersex thing.  At some point, it feels like you’re just co-opting literally every identity around you.

Then they were definitely trans, but maybe a guy, maybe not.  I don’t mind the identity shifts so much.  I get that not everyone has had so easy a time figuring out what they are as I am and so I’m sympathetic.  But with this came belligerence towards lesbians, because so many lesbians were trans-exclusive and OH MY GOD DON’T CALL ME A GIRL.

Then, of course,. Tal did an about-face here.  Not a girl, but girl-aligned.  Nan0girl.  Demi-girl.  So many different identities (most of which I had to read off their blog, because fuck telling your partner shit) that I eventually stopped tracking.

When the thing where Jewish slavery is okay and you’re an antisemite if you disagree, and Jewish sexism is okay and you’re an antisemite if you disagree and Jewish homophobia is okay and you’re an atnisemite if you disagree and Jewish transphobia is okay and you’re an antisemite if you disagree, it really should have been clear to me that Tal was just doing what they usually do: turning on their past beliefs to embrace their current beliefs.  I don’t know why they didn’t just dump me, either.  Not only did they (I say they, I kind of wonder if they’ve gone back to identifying as a woman yet) still not value enough to discuss things like kids with me (oh, they saved those discussions for Charlotte), but they didn’t value me enough as a person to even stop and understand why I might be uncomfortable when they and Charlotte started saying sexist things.

And. of course, the only reason their bisexual, transgender girlfriend would be horrified by any of this?  Antisemitism.  I’d be totally cool with this treatment if it came from Christians,. Muslims or atheists!

Especially since I’ve spent so much of my time railing against the bigoted little shits of the online atheist community.  And I still do.

Tal would start on one side of me on issues and end up on the other.  From the extreme that religion is poison!!!!!! to joining them.  From “fucking cishets” to “maybe transphobia is okay if we people do it.” From “no children ever!” to “when I have kids....” and in terms of gender identity I don’t think there’s a single position they didn’t hold, from totally cis to a transman.

It doesn’t stop with self-identity, either.  Dozens of life plans.  Doesn’t os fiscal plans.  Dozens of ways to make money.  Dozens of names, to the point I’m now paranoid about who’s following me because Tal’s got so many usernames from multiple genders I could never keep track.  I thought it was quirky.  I was okay with the fact that Tal would one day want togo back to school and the next day want to open up a business.  The more I look at it, though, the more it’s another piece of the puzzle.

I’m honestly used to being the more moderate partner.  There are very few lines that are absolutes for me, and Tal managed to cross pretty much all of them in one fell swoop.  My problem wasn’t that Tal had brought religion into our relationship--which they had talked about months before--but started as they and Charlotte became more emboldened and started saying things that made me more and more uncomfortable.  You know, things that hurt me as a transwoman who had thought they were safely in a relationship where those things at least would be respected.

But given my partner was a cis/trans/nonbinary gay/bi/ace/straight man/woman/neither antitheist/theist, maybe I shouldn’t have been.  To be honest, in the nearly seven years we’d been together, the only constant had been...well, me.  I took that for granted, that they would keep loving me. Maybe I shouldn’t have.  If everything else can change, maybe it was always a matter of time.

I didn’t even really speak up at first in part because I expected this, too, to pass.  Surely, Tal respected and loved me enough to follow my discomfort at reading and hearing sexist and homophobic things.  It was only when it looked like this one was going to stick that I freaked out.

And hey, maybe you’re better at this, reader.  Maybe when someone tells you you don’t matter, when an intimate partner is cool with your gender identity and sexuality being treated as inferior or worthy of scorn, you can just brush that off.

I can’t.

And part of the irony there is that Tal helped me get there.  I’d literally never had another partner who would respect me the way they used to.  Other partners would reuse to acknowledge I was trans or to call me by my name, and I dealt with that because that was just the way things were, right?  So when someone comes along and listens to my problems, acknowledges my gender, calls me by my name, and even ostensibly understands some of what I’m going through, that’s a pretty big deal.  It’s also something I can’t undo.  I’m done letting people treat me like a cishet dude, and I’m done putting up with sexism and transphobia because that’s just “the way things are.”  I’ve seen things can be better than that, and I’m not going to give it up.

The problem is, when those close to you knife you in the back, it becomes harder.  And it’s probably my fault for attaching so much value to the person instead of the idea, but when someone you care about deeply no longer views you as an equal human being worthy of respect and basic dignity, it’s easy to want to retreat.  This is how I ended up back in the closet around fifteen years ago: not because of a single person, but because things had become so horrible, so dangerous, that I had no hope.  And that’s how it feels now.

I don’t fall in love often.  Like, it’s been over 20 years since I’ve been in a relationship that hit me this hard.  Maybe another relationship, I would have walked away, but I was still head-over-heels in love with someone who apparently no longer loved or respected me.  And that really hurts, but mostly confuses me.  If I’m not worthy of respect as a human being, why keep me around?  If not wanting my gender identity or sexuality mocked makes me such a dirty antisemite, why bother with me at all?  Did they really think  it was okay to devalue me?  Were they hoping to convince me that being denigrated was okay when they did it?  I don’t understand, and that’s actually what cuts the most.

Because it is all in the timing and the placement of words//I can chase it, I can beat it, I know it’s absurd//but I just can’t face it, can’t face it, because all that we see...

Is a mass-

Alternate title: WHATS WRONG WITH EVERYTHING.

I’m just so fed up with everything right now.  Liberals, conservatives, democrats, republicans, LGBT, activists, BATHROOM BILLS, healthcare, refugee debates, vegans, carnivores... It feels like the entire world has lost its fucking mind.

EVERYTHING is a battle now.  EVERY topic there is a line drawn.  And EVERYONE is being duped into believing they aren’t being duped.

“Rich people have always stayed on top by dividing white people from colored people.” - Bulworth 1998

Except now it’s not just Black vs White.  It’s LGBT vs CIShet.  It’s Feminists vs MRAs.  It’s US vs THEMMMMM... except where it really matters... like rich vs everyone else...

Everyone is so busy fighting each other in this imaginary social war that they don’t see the Generals ™ that are profiting from the quarreling.

I bring this up to point out why almost everyone is wrong in their opinion; their opinions are based in this US vs THEM mentality.  I guarantee you are WRONG if you think the answer to any social issue is simple.  I FUCKING GUARANTEE IT. If you are not a centrist then you are most likely fucking wrong.

Nothing regarding criminal law, civil law, or social law is simple.  There are consequences to EVERY FUCKING DECISION MADE and some of the most FEEL GOOD decisions are the MOST DAMAGING.

I’m just going to start getting into examples to explain my point.

BATHROOM BILL

Feel Good Opinion: Anyone and everyone should be allowed to go into the bathroom they are most comfortable with!!!!

“THEM” Opinion: You are born a man, you are born a woman, you go into the bathroom designated for you!

Reality: It’s not a fucking problem.  Why the fuck do you all want to spend YOUR OWN TAX DOLLARS debating on a fucking bathroom? Why should you be allowing career politicians to control you by forcing this fake social war?  Guess what, in reality no one really fucking cares what bathroom you go into, not after high school anyway and guess what; high schoolers shouldn’t have the right to make political decisions for this country for a reason.  If you think the world is like high school and you’re going to get a swirly for going into the “opposite gender” bathroom then you should also not be allowed to make political decisions.  IN REALITY, women go into men’s bathrooms all the time and men go into women’s bathrooms all the time and 99.99999999999% of the time no one gives a fuck.  Why are you letting yourself get fucking duped into this war?

Consequences of the “feel good”: You’re creating a world for EVERYONE that’s terrifying.  You’re telling stories about how what you feel inside might get you beat up and killed when it isn’t true and now people are terrified to do what they need to do to be happy.  You’re creating the opposite of what you want to achieve by FORCING a war when there was none to begin with.  Guess what?  If this “war” didn’t exist and you never turned it into a hot-button issue no one would give one fuck about what bathroom you went into.

Gun Control

Feel Good Opinion: If we make it harder for people to get guns then it’ll be harder for bad people to get guns! No guns = no gun violence! Lets eliminate gun violence by eliminating guns.

“THEM” Opinion: More guns = more protection! You’re ONLY limiting good people getting guns by strengthening gun control laws!

Reality: Bad people will always get guns.  If you make it harder for good people to get guns via retail/wholesale then you will see a rise in international gun smuggling so the demand can still be met.  Not only that but you might even see a decrease in price for internationally illegally shipped guns because of the increase demand.  If you make it easier for people to get guns then you might see a rise in retail-purchased guns being stolen and used in crimes.  REALITY IS IT ISN’T SIMPLE AND YOU HAVE TO CONSIDER THE CONSEQUENCES.  Reality is our country doesn’t work like other countries and we have to consider what our country needs.  Reality is there will always be murder and violence.  You want to change crime? CHANGE POVERTY.  CHANGE EDUCATION.  CURE THE ILLNESS, DON’T JUST TREAT THE SYMPTOMS.

Consequences of the “feel good”: I stated it before but by continuing to strengthen our gun laws you very well could cause a situation where our illegal market is flooded with untraceable internationally smuggled weapons.  Guns not in our system.  Guns that can’t be traced back to anyone or to multiple crimes.  You very well might get real innocent people fucking murdered because you didn’t consider the ramifications regarding the international economy of illegal gun smuggling.

Healthcare Reform

Feel Good Opinion: EVERYONE has the RIGHT to a healthy life and if they can’t afford a doctor then the government needs to pay for it!  EVERYONE deserves the right to 100% free healthcare!!

“THEM” Opinion: : I’m not going to pay for BOB to eat 100 hamburgers and get a heart attack with my tax dollars!  I’m not going to pay money so that opiate addict can get all the pills they want and then go into rehab because of their own mistakes.  It’s my tax dollars and I’m not going to pay for some woman to have fifteen babies.  Our system is just fine and if you want insurance then you can get a JOB and pay for it like the rest of us!

Reality: In reality I could make a fucking 10,000 word rant on what’s wrong with our healthcare system in the U.S. of A. Again, this isn’t a simple problem.  Being able to AFFORD to see a doctor when you’re sick should be a right.  HOW we enable that is the real question.  Look... your tax dollars ALREADY pay for the people who fall through the healthcare holes.  When someone doesn’t have insurance and wait and wait to see a doctor to the point they have to go to an ER because it’s the only thing they can do... guess who has to pay that bill? You do.  Either through what the insurance company forces you to pay or through your tax dollars.  THAT system is incredibly inefficient and is very very costly to you.  It also kills people.  Wouldn’t it be cheaper to instead allow that person to see a doctor early to prevent a bigger problem? HMMMMMMMM.  However, NOTHING is FREE guys. NOTHING.  If you think the government can just suddenly confetti-rain down healthcare onto the whole of America you’re wrong.  It is an INCREDIBLE MIND BLOWING amount of burden on an already over-burdened system.  Nothing is free.  The real solution is to STOP ARGUING LIKE THIS IS A FUCKING WAR and start LISTENING to each other.  You need to realize that our current system is costing you a shit ton of money but a completely-100% government run healthcare program could potentially be disastrous to our economy as well.  Balance is key.  REALITY is we need to change our entire way of looking at healthcare from the American Disease Model to PREVENTION.  Preventing diabetes is cheaper than treating diabetes.  Preventing influenza is cheaper than treating influenza.  Preventing pregnancy is cheaper than treating pregnancy.  While we’re at it can we get some mother fucking MENTAL health care up in here? GOD DAMN.

Consequences of the “feel good”: You have created a system where doctors are so limited by government law that they can no longer properly care for people.  It’s already happening right now.  You may create a system so over-burdened that our government can’t keep up and it ends up basically becoming bankrupt.  You create a system where people don’t just have a right to healthcare but they think they are ENTITLED to it and live unhealthy lifestyles, damaging lifestyles, because they know the government will just bail them out.

LGBT/Minority/Women’s Rights

Feel Good Opinion: EVERYONE has the right to EVERYTHING that makes them happy and we should make laws to make SURE that everyone has an equal chance at life and to succeed and be happy.

“THEM” Opinion: Everything is fine as it is! You’re complaining about nothing!  Men/Cishet/White people are more oppressed in our society than YOU are!

Reality:

In REALITY in the U.S. we already have a fuck-ton of laws that are aimed to prevent sexism, racism, and all other isms. MAKING LAWS DO NOT INHERENTLY OR AUTOMATICALLY CHANGE THE WAY PEOPLE THINK OR ACT.  You keep wanting to make more and more and more and more changes to our laws to FORCE people to see things you’re way but you fucking CAN’T.  Society can not be FORCED; it can only flow. 

In reality THINGS ARE FUCKED UP ACROSS THE BOARD FOR EVERYONE. Legally AND socially there are fucked up things happening to every sex, gender, and race across the whole world.  In REALITY there is only one real “ism” that exists and that’s classism. Rich people in power want to stay rich people in power... and generally want more money, security and power.  This is reinforced by a system that allows for golden parachutes and tax loopholes to keep rich people rich.  It’s also reinforced by a society where we STILL think rich people are rich because they earned it and poor people are poor because they are lazy.  Wrong.. you’re all wrong.  Some rich people worked for it absolutely, many didn’t.  Some poor people are poor because they are lazy, MANY are not.  When will you fucking realize the real problem is that our government no longer represents us... it represents corporations and wealthy organizations/individuals.  You want to talk about fucking “stay woke”?? WAKE UP YOU FUCKING SHEEP and realize that there’s a bunch of fucking assholes making a fucking KILLING off you arguing about wage gap and BLM and bathroom fucking bills.  God damn this pisses me off because it’s so god damn obvious.

Both sides of your fake SJW war are being fucked in the ass and both sides are blaming the other for how much that ass fucking hurts.

Consequences of the “feel good”: 

Spending millions upon millions of dollars debating things that have already been debated 50-100 years ago and in which laws already exist to protect people.  Creating a society where men are ridiculed and abused and killed because of how they look and what sex they were born as.  Creating a society where people are afraid to defend themselves because their perpetrator is a minority, female, or LGBT.  Creating a  society that listens to the loudest cryer and not the soundest of mind.

Oh.  That’s right.  You’ve already created that society.

Good fucking job.  I hope you’re enjoying this dystopia you’ve created because I am sure as fuck am not.

I’ll Never Be In A Relationship

Honestly, I’m almost 19 and I haven’t been in a serious relationship. I’ve never even done the “talking” stage of relationships and I feel like that’s kind of weird for someone my age but I can’t help it. When I was younger, I was ugly. Well..uglier. Okay maybe I wasn’t like ugly like I looked like a donkey’s ass but I wasn’t (still not) conventionally attractive. As the years pass, I started to look less ugly but I still wasn’t being approached by guys. Often times i would tell myself “well, you’re only like in your pre-teens/early teens!! It’s not that serious. You shouldn’t even care about stuff like that at this age. Relax bitch. You soon fall in love sis. That’s what I would tell myself. I had countless crushes. Which now that I look back on it, I’m embarrassed especially because all of my crushes would make me vomit now but whatever. I never actually told my crushes I did have crushes on them because ya girl was a debby downer and I didn’t think I had a chance. But around 14/15, I would sometimes approach guys I found attractive but for some odd reason my aggressive “I don’t care about shit” facade to mask my low self esteem issue didn’t win anyone’s heart? At 16-17, I did have some boys try to get more friendlier, but as a person who always saw the worst, I would sabotage shit and do everything to make myself seem horrid. Now I am almost 19, and I’ve realized that maybe I’m one of those people who aren’t meant to be with anyone. Not because I have a personality flaws, I really am THAT bitch. But because at this point, I’m not as open to relationships. I tend to get tired of people extremely fast. Or even if I don’t get tired of them so quickly, I always like to stop talking to people for weeks at a time and then start talking to them again. I’m really bad at the consistent hanging out and always talking. There have been very few people i’ve met that I felt okay talking to all the time. I also enjoy being alone. I like being myself. I like going places by myself. I like eating by myself. I just fucking love it. I used to think it was weird but I’ve accepted that part of myself. I don’t say this to be the ~edgy~ introvert~ local. It really is who I am. I can go weeks without really talking to friends and my nuclear family. My constant need to be alone is usually interpreted as me being sort of stuck up, which I kinda am but still. In addition to my need to be alone all the time, I fucking hate men. I’m attracted to men (unfortunately) but I really don’t see myself being with a man anymore. And I really don’t give a fuck about “not all men” bs. I know that in this society men are conditioned to fucking take, take take. Take away our time, take up fucking space, take advantage of women’s time and labor. And never fucking reciprocate. I also know that all men are misogynists. If women have to unlearn pick me internalized misogynist behavior, don’t fucking tell me men don’t have to unlearn their misogyny. The next part of it is that I’m a Black woman. Misogynoir will always be hurled my way. This society hates black women and that’s what? That’s a fucking fact. It isn’t up for debate, even black men dehumanize BW and put non Black women on a pedestal because they see us as fucking trash. But i’ll get into that another time. Misogyny is too much for me. I refuse to allow anyone in my space especially not fucking men who have misogynoiristic bullshit ideas in their heads. And I know everyone expects to just teach men how to not be ugly misogynistic pieces of shit but bitch who the fuck has that time and energy? Because it ain’t I. This misogyny plus anti-LGBTQ+ bullshit that I continue to see in men is intolerable to me. I don’t want to be, actually, I refuse to be with a man who continues to harm everyone around him. I don’t feel I should settle. I know this seems like a standard way too high to some people but honestly, if anything, the bar is too fucking low for men across the world. I don’t give a fuck about men who say rape is bad and that’s it. If i’m even going to let a man in space, let alone in my fucking heart and mind, he better be actively doing shit for others. He can’t be one of those “misogyny bad” but his whole crew is full of violent homophobes and women abusers. I won’t settle for trash men. I won’t settle for men who seem a little less trash because they are standing next to the bottom of the dumpster fucking rats. I like myself too fucking to just settle. My standards aren’t high but men are so used to being praised for little shit I know my standards seem exceedingly high. The fact that I won’t share parts of myself to barely decent men and my introvertedness will probably make me stay single for the rest of my life but at this point, I really am ok with it. I know there is a very small chance I’ll ever be in a serious relationship. I’ve made my peace with that and at this point? I’m just looking for good genuine friendships. Romantic relationships with cishet men seem like minefields anyway.

03-16-18

Just watched an old College Humor video that was like "What if your childhood wish had came true?" And I'm just like "I would have had a family who loved me???"

I always felt like an outcast. Even in my house. I felt like an unwelcome intrusion in their lives. In Jasper, I was so different. I was the only cousin who didn't live in Jasper. I was different. The culture was way different in 90's/2000's Evansville from 90's/2000's Jasper. I went to a predominantly black middle school and then an alternative high school. I didn't understand them and I had mental illness. I was made fun of for isolating myself from them and lectured on how it was rude. I didn't care. I didn't fit in.

And my granny, uncle and cousin weren't much better. Jennifer was young so I give her the benefit of the doubt. She's the only living family member I'd talk to if she wanted me to.

My granny is passed on, My uncle George died when I was either very young or not yet born. John is halfway decent on some things but he's racist af so I really don't want to. And Daron has been MIA for years now. Probably over a decade. And even if I ran into him again, what do I say? "Hey. I used to be your niece. Now I'm just your nebling. Also, your mom is dead and your sister is a pile of shit who disowned her only child after abusing them for years because they came out as transgender." Yeah, that'd go over SO well.

So like, I never fit in. And I don't fucking know how to move on. How do you move on from losing the one thing everyone assumes that everyone has and will always have? People understand death. If they were all dead, it'd be different. Not better, but different. But they're all alive. Well, except Granny and Grandma. But still. People just assume I can step back into that. But I was never really a part of that family anyway. I was the add on. The one who everyone just pretended was a member when I was just... some rando nobody liked.

I have never fit in anywhere. Well, one place. But that's... just me and one other person.

I don't feel affirmed for who I am as a whole entire person except with one person. I feel like I fit into the trans community as a trans person only (with trans people, it's like... if you're trans, you are automatically family whether I like you or not). I don't feel any attachment to Jewish community as I am nonreligious. And the queer community is so cis white gay man centric that I feel left out pretty much constantly. There is just so many levels of bullshit on top of life that I don't know how to deal with it. And stupid me always vents that to someone who wants to say that everyone feels that way. I'm pretty fucking sure that cishet white abled goyish men don't feel quite as left out as I do.

I just hate that I can't be a whole person anywhere. Except one. That's why I value Sara so much. She affirms every part of me. She doesn't try to sugarcoat things. She doesn't lie to me. She's honest about things. But she tries to listen and help as much as she can. Idk. I just... I feel like she's that one person who has been there for me since I met her. And it just feels good to know that she doesn't judge me for anything. But that she is also not going to lie to me or sugarcoat reality. I don't have use of that.

Plus she makes me laugh and that feels pretty good, too. I was in her office last week and she said something and I started to hide and she just said something funny and said "Stop shrinking." And I just lost it. She brought me out of it and I don't know how she knows to say the things she does. Like, I know we've known each other for three years now but I've known Mark since late 2008 and I lived with the guy for a bit. He never understood that. So, I guess she's just special combined with actually caring about me.

ALSO WHEN SHE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY SHE JUST SAYS SO INSTEAD OF BULLSHITTING A RESPONSE AND I VALUE THAT SO MUCH. Like??? Not knowing what to say is okay and why do we all think it isn't.

Idk. I'm going to sleep here in a minute.
