Gideon killing crux, who was so cruel to her, and having a breakdown over the revenge not feeling good broke me btw

#gideon nav #tlt spoilers #nona the ninth #the locked tomb #forget all the stuff with harrow. that awful fuck was so abusive and watching Gideon find out you can’t take that pain away… #oh I’m howling she didn’t fucking deserve that #the way she tried to drag some… repentance out of him by throwing in his face that she’s literally the child of god and he still called her #worthless ohhhh im so sick. she believes it she believes she’s worthless and this was the one thing she learned about herself she staunchly #believes finally has some worth - finally would change how she was treated growing up - and that worthless worm throws it right back to her #face AUGHHH #he didn’t even give her the grace of the fantasy of ‘they would respect me if they knew. they’re REGRET it if they knew’.

[thestobingirlie]

let’s get our imaginations working for a second, and play a little game.

you are 17/18 years old. the world seems to be ending. you and three thirteen year olds nearly got eaten by monsters today, and those monsters are still out and about doing god knows what.

you’ve been put in charge of protecting those children.

a guy in your year turns up to the house. you know him, he’s knocked you around a little the last few days, trying to intimidate you and make you feel a bit shit about yourself, despite you doing your best to ignore it. his thirteen year old stepsister looks at you in fear and desperation and tells you that her brother will kill both her and the thirteen year old black boy you’re taking care of, if he discovers they are in the house.

what do you do?

#billy stans are brain dead #get off that racists mouldy fucking dick #the things they’re willing to overlook because they perceive the racist child abuser to be attractive and his dads a prick #‘i had a realisation *something that literally goes against canon* is canon!!!’ #no it isn’t. you stupid racist child abusing apologist. #steve harrington #anti billy hargrove #stranger things #my post

TW Abuse

Aren feels guilt over clinging to his abuse, because he’s looked up to his Pops for so long as a role model, as someone who he should aspire to be.

But then he interacts with a toddler, or a little kid, or even people his own age. He can’t help but think about how fragile they are, how easy their skin would give way to bruises and blood, and he wonders how you could have something so precious and vulnerable, one that looks up to you with adoration and unadulterated trust, and tear it to shreds.

And he knows it was wrong, but he still tries to convince his friends otherwise. Because if they agree, that means it’s something he has to let go. He doesn’t have to look it in the eyes and ask questions that he won’t ever get an answer to.

#abuse is easy to look at objectively from far away because they’re not a person to you #because the person experiencing it clings to the good memories and pretends it makes up for the bad ones #or worse when it’s a parent who you know has gone through the same #and sometimes you have to look at it and realize change isn’t possible for someone who can’t quite leave survival mode #WOC are taught to keep silent and play clean-up afterwards #and they ask their kids to be happy because they’ve been granted better circumstances #but we forget that no matter how many tools you have you’ll never know how to use them if you’re not taught #asking happiness from a child who has never seen it from a parent will never result in progress #we teach our children to learn from our mistakes instead of from our examples #because change is fucking hard for yourself but all you can do is cling to the hope that maybe it’ll be different for them #sorry got rant-y there lol #I used to write a lot of poetry maybe I should try again and see if I can answer some things for myself #tw child abuse #kuboyasu aren #Saiki k

thinking about c!tommy growing up with a weapon in hand. first sticks and stones, whatever he could find in the tundra to defend himself and hunt for his next meal. then bows and swords, taught to him first by c!eryn who visited him in the wilds and eventually many more when c!wilbur took him in and actually got him an education. c!tommy who learnt to fight a decade before he learnt to read. c!tommy who had to fight each day to stay alive and loved it, the feeling of blood beneath his nails proof he was free, away from the cold, sterile lab.

thinking of him trying so so hard to give up on something more natural to him than breathing because he believes so hard in L’Manberg, because he believes so hard in c!wilbur, even as he gets twitchy, feels like prey. thinking of him in exile, a wolf without his fangs, frightened and anxious and feeling like a lamb to the slaughter, being trained to fight his basic survival instincts to avoid getting hurt in far worse ways than simply being killed. thinking about him eventually becoming so hopeless he decides that weapons don’t matter anyway, because the universe has decided he does not belong in the wild anyway, and pets are declawed, so what’s the point? thinking of him desperately trying to make a pathetic little training arena in his self-made prison underground so he can pretend he's able to fight off the looming spectre over him, because if he can just fight like he’s done since he’s small, fight like a rabid animal, if he just pretends, he can feel like he’s not being suffocated every waking moment.

thinking about c!tommy who feels hopeless and like his means of defence are useless, but clinging onto them anyway, his final stubborn act of defiance. he knows it’ll be taken from him, he'll suffer greatly for even trying to keep the last vestiges of the old him alive, but fuck if he won’t kick and scream the whole time.

went into the notes of that poll going around about if people want more seasons of supernatural and was immediately slapped in the face with how different my priorities are in this fandom from. a lot of it. what are you talking about ‘destiel endgame’. girl the show has bigger problems to fix than that if it ever had more seasons. they taught a three year old that the best way to be loved was to continuously try to kill himself and then they made him god.

#i can’t honestly imagine any world where there’s destiel and its like. satisfying. in any way. #as in: your options here are a) ignore the last seasons of dean. not treating cas very well to put it bluntly. you’d just have to ignore #that and go straight to They’re Fine :) Happy Ending which is. what i am picking up that the people on that poll want. #or b) go all in and make this a horror story to the end. give them destiel and make it exactly as fucked and miserable as it would #realistically be. and then that whole side of the fandom would be mad because toxic gay people shouldn’t exist actually. too complicated. #and the thing is that neither of these are at all satisfying. the second one is better. but its still. bad. #im being serious here im not trying to beat down on this. i genuinely cannot see a way. with the last few seasons setting things up the way #they did. that destiel endgame would make anyone happy. or be good. at all. #anyway like i said there’s bigger problems. new god went through years of child abuse and believes he deserved it because he was born wrong. #look me in the eyes and try to tell me this will lead to a good outcome. jack is about to do godstiel arc 2 except he won’t explode from it. #he is about to kill so many people who are Bad. and not see why that would be wrong to do. #okay im done im done i swear

[hollowknightinsanity]

wait wait wait actually now you've got me curious. what does holly think of pale king and vice versa? is their relationship awkward at all?

it is SO COMPLICATED. ramble time. so glad i can cut posts now

Holly is very scared of PK. Like, genuinely terrified by him. Between the 16 years of near constant abuse and him leaving them to rot in the Black Egg for another 60, Holly is so afraid that he’s gonna pull something similar. Just do a whole 180 and not even pretend he’s not disappointed, and actively belittle them because they failed.

In Holly’s eyes, PK is THE God, and they feel like if they fail or disobey him in any way, shape, or form that they will end up dead in a ditch. No Shade, no shell, no nothing, just dead. Forever. Because they weren’t exactly what he wanted — what he believed they were.

PK, on the other hand, really cares about Holly. It’s hard to not love your kids. He knew since the moment he brought Hornet to the palace that they weren’t a Pure Vessel, but by that point, it was too late to turn back. He couldn’t just throw them back down into the abyss and wait for a new Pure Vessel to pop up out of nowhere. That wasn’t how it worked.

In modern day, his relationship with Holly is very complicated. They act all stoic and emotionless around him, like they always have, but by now he knows full well that they’re faking it. If they weren’t, then Ghost wouldn’t have had to kill Radi. They would’ve done it themselves.

He doesn’t know, though, that they’re beyond terrified of disappointing him. He doesn’t know how badly they’re hurting. He will know eventually — it’s really hard for someone to keep all their emotions bottled up like that — but currently, he has no idea.

PK feels terrible for locking Holly up in the Black Egg. He literally ended up breaking down after the seals were placed.

Holly is afraid of him. Afraid of disappointing him. Afraid of being who they are, and instead keeping up the same persona they’ve had for almost 8 decades, being the complete opposite of what they want to be.

PK finds it hard to not break down in front of them.

Holly is afraid of imploding in front of him.

Instead of being honest with each other, they both pretend to be who the other thinks they are.

Holly, a stoic, emotionless, half-god Knight, born and raised to destroy the Radiance.

PK, a God King, believing that there is truly no cost too great when it comes to glory.

And neither of them have any clue of how the other feels.

And I think I’m about to cry. Again.

TL;DR, Holly’s scared and PK cares but neither of them know about it. So to answer your question, yeah, their relationship is pretty awkward sometimes.

[nappingpaperclip]

I just got a Spotify ad from meta that said Instagram is ‘working with congress to pass federal regulations on children 16 and younger’s ability to download apps of the App Store without their parental permission’

like they the app store already has age restrictions on every app and you have to have an icloud/google account with a birth date associated to download it… like there are already apps for parents to control kids phone time… like you can just teach your children about internet safety….

If your kid hides something from you it’s because you made them not trust you to handle it respectfully and fairly… how would they even enforce this? what kids need is not LESS rights from the government

maybe I’m being paranoid but I feel like stuff like this is somehow connected to either trans/gay rights (“protecting your children from being influenced on the internet”) or consumer privacy rights (how would they genuinely enforce this in a way they don’t already? ie making you put in your birthday or have an account with a birth date associated with it. are they gonna make u upload your id or something?)

#if you are worried about your child downloading harmful apps how about: don’t give them a phone addiction by giving them a phone when theyr #a toddler. and fucking talk to them about it??? #like do I think tik tok is a good app for children? no it’s an exploitative app designed to keep u on it and spend money on it #but like do I think congress should be able to say what apps kids can have and target tik tok because they’re a Chinese company? #hell fucking no #cause ultimately abusive parents will use this to further abuse and monitor their kids #.txt #children’s rights #teenager rights

This complaint has nothing to do with my fanon canon war It’s that ppl confuse nicer and better. If u think Gotham is better than metropolis yeah sure whatever NICER? Girl.

#and not even on civilian scale I’m talking like. look at the place #and if you like Gothams aesthetic it looks nicer to YOU yes! #but the connotative definition of nicer in relation to housing #you think Gotham is NICER? #girl. #y’all wanna be special but can’t handle the special sauce #oh sorry this is veering into fanon canon war #it’s the equivalent of when ppl want Bruce to be the JL cryptid (valid) but then go ‘oh they can’t function without him’ #‘the government loves the JL but the ppl love batman’ #‘Bruce is the only level headed person on this issue I made up to show how nice Bruce is’ #like u want Bruce to be special and remove the brand of assholeshiness that makes him special #like no actually Clark doesn’t have to be a child abuser or the only reason Bruce didn’t kill joker or incompetent for Bruce to be #interesting #bruce is interesting all by himself and degrading everyone else to prop him up degrades him further in a way y’all like bc u can Babygirl it #so looping back Gotham can be creepy weird and fucked up without y’all saying a speedster would be mean (??) for no reason to amplify the #community the bats built or whatever like they’re notorious for knowing their civilians get fucked and read smth about John Henry irons or #smth fuck

[bisexualseraphim]

I’m not like an expert on childcare or anything but I am a human person who has been around for over two decades and I have made a couple of interesting observations about kids during my time on this Earth:

If you scream at a small child, they are probably going to either scream back in defiance or start crying out of fear.

If you get rough with a small child and try to physically drag them around, they are probably going to feel trapped (because they are) and instinctively try to escape.

Doing either of these things will scare the child and make them significantly less likely to do as you ask and stay by your side because they don’t want to get screamed at or hit.

Now, this all might seem like common sense to you; and it absolutely is!

SO WHY THE FUCK DO MOTHERS OF TODDLERS AT THE SUPERMARKET KEEP BEHAVING THIS WAY

#Why is it legal for them to do this but it’d be illegal for me to give them a fuckin slap #(away from the child obvs so I don’t traumatise them further) #Like why the fuck are these people having kids when they clearly don’t even like them #You’re beefing with a 4 year old it’s so embarrassing for you #One time a little girl said she wanted a chocolate bar #And her mum went ‘yeah well I want loads of things but life isn’t fair like that’ ????????????????????? #Just say you have one at home or buy it and save it for when they’re really good or something Jesus it’s not hard #I hate how child abuse is so normalised #And people deny it because they don’t see this behaviour as abuse #These mfs act this way IN PUBLIC and most people don’t even blink #If they’re like this in public who knows what they do at home #Are you not ashamed of yourself are you not embarrazzed #child abuse #childcare #parenting #abuse #rant #vent #physical abuse #verbal abuse

*WARNING: ALLUSIONS TO HORRIFIC CHILD ABUSE, NEGLECT, SYMPTOMS OF C!PTSD, HOMOPHOBIA, AND GENERAL HORRORS ASSOCIATED WITH CULT SHIT*

*Avoid any and ALL pink text aside from the last panel if this disturbs you!*

(Everyone, it’s Hunter with a genuinely happy expression! In MY au! For the very first time!)

(But was the cost of this worth it?)

A few hours after that movie, the traffic light trio have managed to crack Hunters standoffish exterior by figuring out what makes him happy: letting him indulge his inner bookworm and infodump about his interests without rude interruptions!(they asked a few questions)

It went well, and the group bonded!

Then Red asked about the Emperor’s Coven!

….. needless to say, NONE of them were prepared for the answers they got

(Well, we have reached the moment you all have been expecting! The Traffic Light Trio now know that the fucked up little brother they adopted into the group was WAY MORE FUCKED UP than they ever could of imagined)

(Macaque was aware this kind of fucked up shit was going on, BTW (Flapjack ratted almost immediately after Macaque took Hunter home with him), he was just dealing with the problems delicately whenever the EC was talked about in such a nonchalant way)

(He also consulted an available professional)

(Trust me, this version of Macaque at least has experience with abuse, he knows bringing up “that’s not normal” constantly or out of the blue would likely cause a breakdown, C!PTSD is a complex and very fucked up thing, so he would redirect the conversation or urge Hunter to view whatever abusive shit he’d just infodumped in a different light for a moment)

(The point is, Hunters mental state is much better than when he arrived, training and living with Macaque has very much helped him, which was why he was comfortable talking about the EC with the Traffic Light Trio instead of accusing them of being heretics, or calling MK or Red Son homophobic slurs for daring to ask(Belos was a VERY bad influence))

(Also, about the Darius thing, remember every single coven head (with the exception of Raine MAYBE) were cunts to this child, the abomination head included, and since ASITS hasn’t happened yet, Darius is STILL a cunt for now)

(Red Son usually calls Hunter Corpse Boy, btw, calling him his real name here means he was REALLY caught off guard)

#hunter toh #lego monkie kid #the owl house #monkie kid mk #red son lego monkie kid #found family #mei lego monkie kid #child abuse #child neglect #just fucked up shit in general #also Hunter has freckles #they’re just really light and I sometimes forget to add them like a dumbass #pre story

Crazy stupid how people preach about FICTIONAL characters doing things such as as rape/dub-con/etc, yet actively consume FICTIONAL media about murder/abuse/etc and enjoy it/say nothing about it/etc

Let’s face it: beings/non beings/etc are hypocrites. Literal everybody/somebody/nobody/anybody/body/etc is

You’re allowed to dislike something. You’re allowed to hate something.

Doesn’t make people who like FICTIONAL rape somehow worse ( or better or etc ) than people who like FICTIONAL murder

It’s still violence. Full stop.

Going on and on about one being worse than the other, yet excusing the other as it being “ not as bad “ is completely ignorant, hypocritical, and flat out stupid.

You aren’t better ( or worse ) than somebody who enjoys one violent FICTIONAL situation than somebody else who enjoys a different FICTIONAL situation.

And yes. Fiction CAN sometimes affect reality. Just like sometimes it CAN’T.

Just because somethings CAN’T doesn’t mean somebody WON’T

Just because somethings CAN doesn’t mean somebody WILL

And I’m saying this as a sex trafficking/torture/abuse/severely traumatized person/entity. Not that this means that somebody who haven’t experienced these things can’t talk, or that somebody who has had it worse can’t talk

Just stating perspective because I want to

#pro ship #anti ship #you’re allowed to dislike/hate/be unsure/like/love things #just because it makes you uncomfortable doesn’t make it inherently bad or that other people who enjoy FICTIONAL content are bad either #and vice versa #vent #tw vent #vent 12/19/23 #I feel like ( in a way ) certain violence ( such as murder ) isn’t as frowned upon in fiction ( at least in Western media ) because it’s so #fucking normalized. and rape/dub-con/etc isn’t. and I absolutely DO NOT support rape/dub-con irl. #( unless it’s consensual non consent (( aka a kink )) and everybody uses safe words and listens to each other like they’re supposed to ) #I’d rather somebody enjoy FICTIONAL violence than go out and actually commit these violent acts ( such as rape ) IN REAL LIFE #the former is better by a HUMONGOUS SHOT. and others feel how they want. and I still agree the former is better than ACTUALLY GOING OUT AND #DOING IT #tw rape #tw murder #tw dubcon #tw kink #tw child abuse #tw sex trafficking #tw torture #tw abuse

[ickypuppi3]

they really assassinated two characters for one dumb side plot. like. i’ll never be able to take Karen seriously again. i was rooting for her before that mess.

LITERALLY

like she was a pretty alright mum from what i remember? she was there for mike and nancy and i felt bad for her with the whole ‘ted being a crappy husband’ thing

but as soon as the character in their mid/late 30’s tries to get in a 17 year olds pants? fuck that

i genuinely can’t watch any scenes of her anymore without thinking about it

and what purpose did it actually serve like-

billy died

she never had to take accountability

and it was never mentioned again

just fucked up all around

#billy hargrove #tw karen wheeler #stranger things #asks #a real fucking slap in the face to people who relate to that situation too #man i HATE THE DUFFERS #what the actual fuck #they’re working their way through the child abuse list #trying to tick each one off #for what #shock value #a shitty reference #?? #i say it again #fuck. the. duffers.

[spacelesscowboy]

sorry but i still think it is so so crazy and insane to look at a child—ANY child, any teenager, ANYONE, but especially CHILDREN—and hit them. as a punishment or warning or whatever. that is so crazy to me. how could you ever look at a child and bring yourself to hurt them in any way shape or form??????????? that’s insane to me.

#emyrs.txt #tw childhood abuse #????? idk if this warrants that. but if i should more tags lemme know !! #YES. EVEN THE ANNOYING ONES. #spent. a great deal of time w my cousins’ friend the other day and she’s. technically 11 so. not a child in the technical sense. but anyone #under 17 to me is so so so young. (YES. i’m only 19. this isn’t bc i’m incredibly old and wise or whatever. it’s bc i’m old enough 2 see how #young i was then. if that makes sense. anyways). #and she was. SO INCREDIBLY annoying. and i have SO little patience and even less tact into how to get her to Stop. so i just smiled and #nodded and pretended that i wasn’t losing all of my patience. bc she is 11. and i remember being 11 & annoying. & being a kid means being #annoying anyways so whatever. #anyways. i hate thinking about my cousins and the kids in my family it makes me sick to stomach. #not bc their parents r abusive or whatever i just don’t think they’re getting the care and attention they need & i don’t want them to grow #up w as weird and fucked up feelings as me and my older cousins have. #also this whole thing is bc i was reading atla fanfiction and got sad about zuko.

[everlocked]

so sad about the way that autistic girls often get treated by the mental healthcare system 😞 i was in and out of hospitals from the age of 12 and i mostly got told i was “just a brat” who didn’t really want help and just wanted attention, or that there was something wrong but they didn’t know what and i’d just get perpetually passed around to different psychiatrists. eventually ended up being sent to one of those abusive wilderness camps for 7 months

the lady doing my assessment has shown me so much kindness and it’s just absolutely crazy that my meltdown behaviour as a teen was completely dismissed and not seen for what it was. the system abuses autistic kids so badly, if someone had just helped me like i was begging all the professionals to, maybe i wouldn’t have ended up in a camp being abused

#like i just needed help #it’s so so fucked #i’m afraid to have kids because what if they’re autistic and get treated the way i did #i’m not afraid to have an autistic child i just hate the way the world treats us #i don’t want any child to have to go through what i did but i know it’s happening and it’s so common #autism #asd #troubled teen industry #tw abuse #wilderness camp
