☆ the dove

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

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

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

It is for the best.

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

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

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

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

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

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

As it was meant to be.

"Yes, little bird?"

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

She will delight in that, too.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"Of course, Creator – just for you."

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

It is better that way.

I'm team joe but I wanna ask you guys: don't you think he probably cheated?

I don't view cheating as something so reprehensible. I don't do it and wouldn't like for it to be done to me or any of my friends, but I don't feel any impulse to cancel someone over it. I think is a very personal issue and it's up for each couple to decide where they stand in it. I mean, I'm sure we all watched joe on cwf and appreciate sally rooney.

that being said, didn't TS said in so long london "I founded the club she heard great things about"? fortnight is about matty but it reads like they're neighboors and she's singing about killing his wife, so that makes me think that the "my husband is cheating" line is about joe. she also sang something in another song in the lines of "he was already dreaming about her" which can mean he was emotionally cheating on her just like she did with matty.

anyway it's okay if they did, but don't we think that's the case? I think it's implied that he did something and that she broke up with him after cheating on him with matty multiple times in her head. I think that would explain kelleigh and the rage taylor had for him the whole past year.

Cheating is something awful and disrespectful and should absolutely be seen as a bad thing. Having morals and being loyal is a good thing. Let's call a spade what it is. CWF is about 4 very flawed people doing stupid, terrible things and hurting themselves and others. Not something to look up to.

Joe did NOT cheat on ts. No doubt whatsoever about it! Not only because Joe is an honorable man who would not dishonor himself like that, but also because there is not one shred of evidence that he did. Let's be real here, ts is the most petty, vindictive and hateful woman on the planet. If she had even the tiniest proof he was unfaithful she would have screamed it of the top of her head. We would be 20 short films deep into the annihilation of Joe. Alas, all she has is: he was sad and I got bored of him.

I worry about your comprehension skills. 🙄🙄🙄 Obviously she doesn't have a husband. Fortnight is about an affair that only lasted 2 weeks and dealing with an imaginary future where they are married to other people. And she hates his imaginary wife and her imaginary husband is cheating on her. It's a song about regretting what could have been. It's a what if the affair didn't end after a fortnight. 🙄

"I founded the club she heard great things about" Why must you remind me of that line. I bloody hate it. The audacity to put that disrespectful line in the song. Actually the more I think about it the more I despise ts. She is lying. She did not founded the Joe Alwyn Club. Ang Lee founded the club we've all heard great things about. And the first member to sign up for the club was Yorgos Lanthimos. He was the second director to give Joe a role back in 2015. And the reason we've all heard great things about the Joe Alwyn Club is because Joe is a great man. Not because of ts, but because of him, and his work and his character. And the fact that she is implying that she is better than the women Joe will date after her is pathetic. No, she is not better. She is richer and more successful, but not a better person. Any woman Joe will date after ts with be a better human than ts. And it's ugly of her to try to take credit for Joe and to attack and attempt to belittle Joe's future girlfriends or wife.

My personal Trigun fanart/fanwork pet peeves:

(not all of these are morally reprehensible per se, they just personally get on my nerves)

Making Wolfwood's skintone the same as/comparable to Vash's - doing the same to Livio/Razlo and to a lesser extent, Legato

Omitting Wolfwood's humped nose

Omitting Vash's scars and amputation (he's been missing his left arm for way longer than he had it)

Making Vash uncharacteristically bashful and meek, even by Stampede standards - doubly so if the OP headcanons him as trans - triply so if the work is NSFW

Making Wolfwood aggressive in situations where he'd be relatively calm in the canon(s), or ignoring how he can be (and often is) quite soft towards those he cares about - again, doubly so in NSFW content (fwiw manga & 98 WW are proven to be adults, most likely around Meryl's age)

Treating Wolfwood like an animal in a 'lesser-than-human' way - general petplay involving him in a submissive role also gives me the ick

Treating Razlo as a stereotypical psycho when he's not like that in the canon(s)

Ignoring Razlo altogether in stories involving Livio (single-piece art is different)

Ignoring how impactful the women in Vash's life are to him (Rem, Meryl, Milly, and to a lesser extent Luida)

Ignoring manga Elendira's canon status as a trans woman in order to promote headcanons instead (keyword instead)

Ignoring the women of the series in general

Giving manga and 98 continuity plants (including Independents) floral xenogenitalia, since the motif is otherwise absent in these versions

Have Vash say 'fuck' - or really anything stronger than 'shit' or 'bitch', really (and even then there's only 3 times I can remember him canonically swearing in English material)

Have Vash call Wolfwood 'Nico' - this nickname is only used by other people who grew up at the orphanage with him (e.g. Livio) - additionally, have Vash call him 'Nicholas' to his face - he only ever refers to him by this name once (incidentally to the woman running the orphanage). Most people who use 'Nicholas' are either tied to the orphanage or Knives (whether directly or via the EoM or Gung-ho Guns)

Treat Wolfwood as a suave sex god - when considering his upbringing, he would have very little experience at best

Trying to shove manga/98 lore where it doesn't fit into Stampede & vice versa - includes giving Stampede Vash the scars his counterparts have rather than his own

and the obvious one that I shouldn't need to mention (hint: look at my bio)

#trigun #trigun maximum #trigun stampede #Vash the Stampede #Nicholas D. Wolfwood #Razlo the Tri-Punisher of Death #Livio the Double Fang #Elendira the Crimson Nail #Meryl Stryfe #Milly Thompson #Rem Saverem #Luida Litener #Legato Bluesummers #Millions Knives

Glad someone acknowledges that what Mabel did is morally reprehensible, and what bothers me is people defend it by saying "she's 12". I mean idk about ya'll but when I was 12 I wasn't risking my family's lives to a nightmare demon for a dude, I was doing my fuckin homework lmfao.

I love Gravity Falls to death but the way they turned Mabel from a silly kid to an actual horrible person speaks to how badly the writers can't write female characters to save their pissholes, and fans defending that shit annoy me to no end. They do the exact same thing when the fucked up shit Princess Bubblegum did is brought up

I’m gonna co-opt this ask because this lets me talk about two things regarding criticism that I find really interesting in the internet world-that being “perception of wrongness” and “heart moments”.

Perception of Wrongness:

I can actually understand why people had a hard time calling Mabel poorly written by the end of series, because this is a trend that happens a lot when talking about media criticism as a whole, and it is the subconscious concern that one is going to be perceived as morally wrong for taking umbrage with a character or product that concerns a well poisoned topic.

Mabel is a girl. And because Mabel is a girl, there was no shortage of bad faith arguments regarding Mabel from episode 1 on as being anything from obnoxious to a Mary Sue to an actively bad person (before doing anything that one could call actually wrong).

So, when a fandom space is poisoned by arguments that boil down to “Mabel is a girl and I hate women”, people have a tendency to overcorrect in the other direction and decide that the character is without flaw.

You actually see this a lot with the infamous movie “Fight Club”, which garnered a fanbase of pathetic Andrew Tate wannabes slobbering on Tyler Durden’s knob. So now if someone (especially a guy) says they like the movie most peoples reaction is immediate disgust even though the movie itself is a blatant critique on toxic masculinity based on a book written by a gay man inspired by a hate crime he was a victim of. Well poisoned arguments made the thing poison, so anyone who touches it must be a poisoner. You don’t want to be perceived as condoning the the former-perceived as morally wrong.

I myself had issues with this actually, leading up to Nathan and I watching through the MCU I had an instinctive reaction to be disdainful of his opinion that Captain Marvel was a bad film even though I know Nathan is one of the most “girl movie” positive people on the planet. When we talked about the movie as we watched it it became clear that the problem was that Carol didn’t get to be a cool superhero because they spent so much of the movie proving she “deserved” a spot in the MCU when none of the other heroes needing such proof. Which I agreed with!

It’s hard to untrained yourself from internet discourse brain, but you’ll be better for the trouble if you do so.

On the other side of the creator/consumer spectrum!

Heart Moments:

Creators love the things they make. That is an obvious and redundant statement. But the love of that creation goes through a lot of changes. We’ve talked before about how creators will often insert characters from early drafts of projects into the final product even if the product doesn’t fit with them anymore (see Hunter from TOH), but we don’t talk as much about a similar phenomenon wherein a creator has a burst of inspiration and they can see so perfectly a moment in time for their art that rests heavy on their heart.

This moment could be a cool shot, an impressive piece of cinematography or animation, an actor giving a specific delivery, or a line you want more than anything. But as you write that moment is no longer viable. It doesn’t fit with the greater piece or writes a character out of character.

This is what happened with Mabel in Sock Opera. Alex saw the ability to have Bill say a line about siblings and sacrifice, which would allow one of the twins to say a big line that when the Stan twist was revealed everyone would go “OHHHHH SHIT SO WHEN HE ASKED WHY SOMEONE WOULD SACRIFICE EVERYTHING FOR A SIBLING AND SHE SAID DIPPER WOULD IT WAS ACTUALLY A PARALLEL AND-“. Mabel and the ramifications of the scene to make that heart moment realized were disregarded in its addition.

I actually noticed this for the first time in a Rooster Teeth show I’m fond of called “Camp Camp”. In the 4th season, fan darling David has a solo adventure in “The Forest” where he’s lost in the woods and struggles to survive leading to a nervous breakdown wherein he near kills a wolf, decides against it, and learns a lesson about the importance of kindness in the face of misery.

Problem being that if you know the show at all, David is literally the worst person to do this episode with. David is not only a skilled and experienced outdoorsman who made it his life goal to become a camp counselor as a child and loves the woods, but he’s also the only character who’s primary trait in unrepentant kindness to anyone no matter the cost. To the point that it’s actually his largest vice as it gets him and his loved ones in dangerous situations.

But nobody cared because David has a breakdown was something that looked good in gif sets. It was an episode built around a “Heart Moment”-this one being everyone’s favorite blorbo screaming and crying while emotionally collapsing. And that was a Rooster Teeth cartoon that’s messy as hell-Gravity Falls is groundbreaking shit! But both still suffered at the same root issue.

It’s hard to let go of the scenes on your heart. When the thing you’re creating means so much to you, and that part of it rests on your heart so heavy, it’s hard to bring yourself to remove the latter. But you have to ask if the character you worked so hard to bring to life is worth potentially sacrificing to get that one moment off your heart.

I think that last anon was incredibly rude and very, very suspicious. I'm also a fat person, and I think your art is just fine the way it is.

This anon accuses you of having a fat fetish for using peach to shade, doesn't give you the name of the artist they think you're emulating, and then tell you (not asking politely, on your own blog where they are a guest, TELL) you to put body hair on Miku.

Not to mention, why are they recognizing a style from a fat fetish artist if they aren't on the fat fetish side of twitter themselves, enough to have picked up on this supposed artist's style, down to the shading?

Sure, Twitter is wild, you'll see plenty of things you aren't necessarily looking for, but this reads as someone who is trying very hard not to let you see them sweating. What are they doing at the devil's sacrament, pointing out all of the sinners there, tactfully not pointing at themselves as one of the people included amongst the crowd.

If they didn't say "teehee I'm a fat girl btw <33 nasty nasty fetishists <33" at the end, wouldn't you think this message is situationally inappropriate? This is the internet, this person is anonymous, and that means they can lie if they feel like it.

You shouldn't even believe me or care when I say I'm fat, because I too am anonymous, and you simply can't fact check me. Even off anon, I don't share pictures of myself online, because I know better than to trust the internet at large.

If they are not outright malicious

(people will do this when they themselves fetishize fat women for the sake of getting art they think is hot; kind of like people saying "fat women can't be sexy" so fat women will post suggestive pictures of themselves to prove the statement incorrect, especially so they can pick and choose through which images they like. This is Creep Behavior, to use negging to manipulate people into sharing racey pictures)

then they are outright very, very rude, despite their friendly tone. This is YOUR blog, your art is fantastic, and nobody should be coming into your house, telling you how to run things.

Personally, I think the shapes and textures you draw are aesthetically pleasing, and your color choices always go together very nicely, especially when pink and green can clash really bad if you're not careful. Please don't let some misguided person (or worse, a creep) tell you what to do. You've gotten as far as you have on your own just fine, because you're doing your own thing.

In your response to anon, you said

"I find it weird that when a “normal” character is posed something suggestive its just a drawing but when added a bit weight it becomes a “fetish” ????"

(https://www.tumblr.com/ebi-noodle-doodles/739308628074496000/im-really-not-trying-to-be-rude-but-your-pure)

and I could not agree with you more.

Why is it a fetish that Miku is fat? I look an awful lot like her, and it's nice to be represented in art, suggestive or otherwise. Why is this person coming at you like you're a freak pervert that needs to be corrected, when you're just drawing a character?

Why is fat considered inherently unattractive, the only people allowed to enjoy it being (implied) nasty, disgusting, morally deficit fetishists, when "normal" or "skinny" body types are left alone? Why are we treating body fat as morally reprehensible, and not just a thing people sometimes have?

If this person really is fat, they have a lot of internalized fatphobia to let go of, and if they're a fetishist they need to learn better manners.

And thank you, for being generous enough to share your art with the world. Sorry for the lengthy message as well. Your Miku is very cute, and I look forwards to seeing more of your art in the future :]

Ive been self debating and doubting if what I’m doing is bad or that Ive done something wrong especially on illustrating her in a suggestive manner

Thank you for understanding my view. The reply timing is off as I’m still trying to understand myself if my coloring it self was wrong… are my poses off? Is it rude to draw her like this? I didnt take the anon’s comment as rude but i did feel some guilt that i feel i shouldnt have? Man i dont understand I’m dumb when it comes to these sort of stuff. I just answered truthfully on thoughts about that. All I know is I enjoy painting her, suggestively, happy, innocently or cute! I just like drawing her. Youll see more of her in blog hopefully :D

#thank you for taking the time to type all of these! #anon #reply #ask

Please elaborate on the Lus post, people need to hear it I think.

So as a plus size woman it really, really bothers me when people pigeon-hole Cumulus as the pack mom or a “mommy” and don’t give her any other personality traits or motivations other than caring for the group. Like the fact that people have zeroed in on the only plus size person in the group and said “yeah that’s mom” because all fat women are maternal right? It’s the same shit as telling a plus size person “you look like you give good hugs” because we’re all cuddly beings with no sexual desires who only exist to comfort thin people. De-sexualizing plus size people, especially women, and making them into this “mom figure” who is morally beyond any kind of horny or reprehensible behavior is just perpetuating stereotypes about fat women being sexless, undesirable creatures. I have beef with how ALL the ghoulettes are portrayed by fandom tbh but Cumulus’ portrayal is personal to me. That shit hurts.

From one of your old asks: "I think when she's not in a horrible situation, Jane likes his personality."

I'd love for you to elaborate more on this (if you have the time and energy ofc)

I have heard many people say jane only married Frank for his money - that he was her ticket out of having to be a governess and she wouldn't have accepted him if she was rich herself. I instinctively feel that to be untrue but can't find enough textual evidence against it unfortunately - would love to hear your thoughts about it :)

Of course I can elaborate! I've vacilated myself on if Jane loves Frank or not, but I've come to the conclusion that she does, because you are right that she's in a very unfortunate situation and Frank is her only way out, but she is willing to release him from the obligation.

Here is my evidence, Jane is angry that Frank sent the piano without warning, but she is also happy about it and about him confessing his love:

“Here is something quite new to me. Do you know it?—Cramer.—And here are a new set of Irish melodies. That, from such a quarter, one might expect. This was all sent with the instrument. Very thoughtful of Colonel Campbell, was not it?—He knew Miss Fairfax could have no music here. I honour that part of the attention particularly; it shews it to have been so thoroughly from the heart. Nothing hastily done; nothing incomplete. True affection only could have prompted it.”

Emma wished he would be less pointed, yet could not help being amused; and when on glancing her eye towards Jane Fairfax she caught the remains of a smile, when she saw that with all the deep blush of consciousness, there had been a smile of secret delight, she had less scruple in the amusement, and much less compunction with respect to her.—This amiable, upright, perfect Jane Fairfax was apparently cherishing very reprehensible feelings.

We are also told over and over again that Jane is extremely moral, so for her to accept a marriage proposal, especially a secret one, it would be logical to assume she was in love. Austen is not kind to people who marry without love.

We see Jane feeling guilty for her deceit here:

...Indeed, Miss Woodhouse, (speaking more collectedly,) with the consciousness which I have of misconduct, very great misconduct, it is particularly consoling to me to know that those of my friends, whose good opinion is most worth preserving, are not disgusted to such a degree as to—I have not time for half that I could wish to say. I long to make apologies, excuses, to urge something for myself. I feel it so very due. But, unfortunately—in short, if your compassion does not stand my friend—”

“Oh! you are too scrupulous, indeed you are,” cried Emma warmly, and taking her hand. “You owe me no apologies; and every body to whom you might be supposed to owe them, is so perfectly satisfied, so delighted even—”

“You are very kind, but I know what my manners were to you.—So cold and artificial!—I had always a part to act.—It was a life of deceit!

Nextly, Jane breaks off the engagement when she believes that Frank no longer loves her. This is from Box Hill:

Jane declined it, however, and the husband and wife walked off. “Happy couple!” said Frank Churchill, as soon as they were out of hearing:—“How well they suit one another!—Very lucky—marrying as they did, upon an acquaintance formed only in a public place!—They only knew each other, I think, a few weeks in Bath! Peculiarly lucky!—for as to any real knowledge of a person’s disposition that Bath, or any public place, can give—it is all nothing; there can be no knowledge. It is only by seeing women in their own homes, among their own set, just as they always are, that you can form any just judgment. Short of that, it is all guess and luck—and will generally be ill-luck. How many a man has committed himself on a short acquaintance, and rued it all the rest of his life!”

Miss Fairfax, who had seldom spoken before, except among her own confederates, spoke now.

“Such things do occur, undoubtedly.”—She was stopped by a cough. Frank Churchill turned towards her to listen.

“You were speaking,” said he, gravely. She recovered her voice.

“I was only going to observe, that though such unfortunate circumstances do sometimes occur both to men and women, I cannot imagine them to be very frequent. A hasty and imprudent attachment may arise—but there is generally time to recover from it afterwards. I would be understood to mean, that it can be only weak, irresolute characters, (whose happiness must be always at the mercy of chance,) who will suffer an unfortunate acquaintance to be an inconvenience, an oppression for ever.”

He made no answer; merely looked, and bowed in submission; and soon afterwards said, in a lively tone,

“Well, I have so little confidence in my own judgment, that whenever I marry, I hope some body will chuse my wife for me.

We know they fought the day before when Jane was walking back from Donwell, she takes this speech from Frank as a sign he is no longer in love with her and is weary of the engagement. Breaking it off is exactly the opposite of what a gold digger would do.

For a cross-novel comparison, look at Lucy Steele. She is also in a secret engagement, when she suspects Elinor she reveals the truth. Jane never tries to similarly mark her territory. And Jane breaks off the engagement knowing that it is her only chance at wealth. Jane also feels so guilty about lying that she's physically ill.

In conclusion, I think there is a fair bit of evidence that Jane actually loves Frank and that was the only reason she broke her moral code to be with him. Though it is certainly an added bonus that he's going to be rich.

(Note: I would use chapter numbers for my citations but the Project Gutenberg version of Emma is in volumes and it's hard to figure out the right chapter. So you can check my citations here.)

yeah uhh if youre tme especially you should definitely not be giving any terfs the time of day. even the "funny" ones (none of them are funny). you are literally just harming trans women. even if you delete the asks later. think on this

ok so here's the thing. Generally, I don't give terfs any attention, whatsoever - if they crop up on my posts, I block and report and delete their comments. I get some specifically terfy asks every now and then that I also delete. The previous ask called the anons terfs but if you actually look at all the nastier asks I've responded to, bar one, they're just generically transphobic, and I've responded to I think maybe two of them in the past few months it's not something I'm making a habit of? The one that was almost certainly a terf (accusing me of violence against women) I responded to because they made a poor attempt at doxxing me, and at the time, it fucking scared me. I think largely, I'm well within my rights to respond to transphobia and threats directed at me the way that I want to. It's cathartic to, once in a while, respond to anonymous transphobia with a #epic own, sorry if that makes me morally reprehensible somehow.

I say this with utter sincerity, I don't know how me occasionally responding to transphobic messages directed at me, referencing my gender identity, hurts trans women. I would appreciate being told how.

All That Remains, Ch. 1 and 2 Notes

I wrote a fic for the @regulusblackfest and I have been DYING to talk about it since I finished it a month ago.

Author reveals came today so now I can gush all I want! Since I wasn't able to post about all my chapter updates or plans for this fic, I thought to write posts to tell you all about how this fic came to life, and notes behind what I did in each chapter. I'll do it in twos. Below is a moodboard I created for the fic to give you an idea of what I was thinking (visually) as I created it.

This story came out of a desire to see Regulus in a thoroughly, morally grey way. Regulus, to me, is often (mis)characterized as this poor little meow meow who has no agency, or he's just immature and misguided, and underneath he has a heart of gold.

He does have a heart, feelings, and wishes, but he makes a lot of morally questionable to morally reprehensible decisions. My goal in writing this work was to make a darker character like Regulus more sympathetic. You may not like him - you probably won't, to be honest - but you'll root for him.

Chapter notes below (there are spoilers, fyi)!

Chapter 1 - la recherche commence | the search begins

I chose a prompt in which Regulus's partner becomes pregnant. To do this in a way that felt faithful to his characterization, I had to give Regulus some motivation to find a girl. His parents want him to marry and he's got the idea to choose his own bride. He thinks it will be easy.

A line to capture his previous thoughts on women:

She was familiar enough, having spent his childhood growing up along other pureblood children, but as she was always with the other girls, he never needed to pay much attention to their feminine nonsense.

Regulus is purposefully written as a misogynist, and it's not a good look. He's a) a baby boomer, b) a pureblood in elite circles, and c) the son of a family that cares about continuing the line, which only matters through the male line. He's a chauvinist, but one who thinks he's in the right, because he's parroting the tradition of generations before.

A commenter wrote, wondering how Regulus could be so clueless about girls, when he's got 3 girl cousins.

He starts talking to them and it's really awkward. He gets one word responses, awkward responses, or skittish girls. He makes a list of potential brides, like a pro/con list.

Having female relatives is no guarantee of success in treating women nicely, fairly, or even knowing how to talk to them. He's arrogant and assumes he doesn't need help.

But he's also fragile. He's just 17, playing adult games, and wounded from a lifetime of being compared to Sirius. Regulus struggles with his ineptitude and wonders what Sirius would do.

He ends the first days of his search in frustration.

All That Remains, ch. 2 Notes

Chapter 2: le devoir avant le plaisir | duty before pleasure

It astounded Regulus that the girls around his age were less willing to allow him to court them, but the girls from the minor pureblood families, and the younger girls, seemed to understand the privilege they were receiving by being singled out by him.

In this chapter, we see Regulus trying to narrow down who he's going to court and it's not going well. All his conversations are one-sided and he struggles to figure out why.

This is the chapter that I began some world-building. This was a huge experiment for me, putting Catholicism this blatantly into a fic, but I was inspired by both the work of @artemisia-black and @green-and-grey-kenaz to bring this to life.

Thus I've got Regulus having a good old time on the organ, musing on his lady troubles.

Regulus's new friend/thorn in his side, Maia, gives him a reality check, and I start showing off her personality. In the previous chapter, she's not afraid to tell him what she thinks or argue with him.

She's no saint, either. This is one of the lines I give her: “You are the last wizard I’d want to spend my life with, and that includes Muggleborns.”

She doesn't say Mudblood, but there's a clear hierarchy in her mind that Muggleborns are different/worse. She's not necessarily outwardly bigoted but there is prejudice there. It's one of the reasons why Regulus becomes attracted/intrigued by her. He's never going to go for a blood traitor - think Blaise Zabini's comment in HBP that he wouldn't touch a blood traitor like Ginny, no matter how attractive she was. Same deal for Regulus. Maia's not a blood traitor, but she's not outwardly terrible.

The last thing we see in the chapter is Regulus thinking about his Dark Mark. He's not regretful that he joined the Dark Lord but he DOES wonder what his future bride will think of the tattoo. It sets up an uncomfortable tension that will continue throughout the story.

tbd later but i keep seeing people just try to go on and on abt how ppl are morally reprehensible or whatever for Not Liking f characters and i just wanna say there's definitely. ABSOLUTELY. some people in fandom that need to fuckign check their misogyny. there absolutely is and ive been talking abt it on various different blogs and things like that since '09.

but.... idk is that constructive? or helpful? to attach morality to the gender of the characters that you like? idk! this shit fucked me up bc i would like... deny that i liked m characters. like i used 2 feel soooo guilty for liking m characters???? for YEARS??? and i rly felt it was my moral obligation to Like f characters and it was SO forced... and the truth is that a lot of the time ppl write f characters with v little depth and v little intrigue bc they dont want to make Statements abt women overall bc every f character written is somehow supposed to Represent multiple someones and even when theyre """"problematic"""" or """villainous""" or whatever its in a way thats designed more for them to be unlikeable instead of morally complex or morally compelling. ppl who write m characters usually dont bother to think abt the Optics (esp when theyre white m characters) and so all of the lovely complexities come through and its clear from the story n narrative that its unrelated to their identity, or if it is related to their identity, its because of how they relate to it (rather than the relation between identity and action being that being x means you do y or that BECAUSE you're x you do y). in all honesty there's v few f canon characters that have that kind of complexity (part of the reason im always writing my own - ive been writing ofc x canon character fics for actual decades, long before i joined this fandom) and the v few f characters that do have tht complexity are probably side characters or characters not directly relevant to the plotline. and bc theyre so preoccupied w writing these characters as like... a stand-in for Minorities or whatever, they're so careful to strip any potential conflict or moral ambiguity from them in a way that leaves me feeling not v compelled to care - compared to, lets say, m villains who almost always still have that shred of humanity left to compel me to care so much about them bc i can see myself in them, f villains usually dont get that. there's exceptions to this - i can think of a lot of comics characters for e.g. - and i love those exceptions, but they're exceptions.

and idk i feel like we should also acknowledge that like... ignoring that these f characters are badly written or lack compelling (notice i specify COMPELLING here like its not rly enough for them to have a husband or a kid or whatever that's not compelling???) humanising moments because ppl treat f characters like they're supposed to Represent All Womens and 2. this makes them less compelling than m characters like 80% of the time and 3. that these critiques should be anchored in "FUCKING DO BETTER". what could we change abt how we write and engage with f characters? talk about that as much as the critiques or whatever that we have for f characters in the first place bc people are much more willing to give up on trying to write f characters if theyre told "this was shit" vs "this could use with some improvement - what abt this? or that?"

like idk i think there's a more productive way we could be talking abt this

#fandom critical #i guess. i'll probs make this private or smth later but idk! im not a huge fan of 'if u like x why dont you like y' #with the intent of shaming rather than trying to encourage a discussion. is it rly misogyny or are the f characters here just badly written #and saying f characters are badly written IS NOT MISOGYNY. when m characters are badly written its rarely bc they're m #but when f characters are badly written it's usually contained to f characters only. and we should interrogate that and question it! #i dont think its BAD to say this f character was badly written to me and so i dont find her that compelling comparatively. like... #that's not always going to be misogyny? and the solution i think is to talk abt HOW we write m characters compellingly and #whats stopping us from writing f characters the same way. that's a more fruitful discussion to me #than just sitting there whinging that no one likes f characters. (which isnt true). DO SOMETHING about it.

Ep 7: The motherfucking wolf attack

Hello! This is about up to Episode 7 of Yellowjackets, and ONLY episode 7 of Yellowjackets. I have not seen beyond the seventh episode, at all, and know NOTHING about this show. Please do not spoil it for me.  Things that are spoilery in nature, for me, include: saying things like  “Just wait!!” confirming or denying anything I put forward, outside information about the cast interviews or creator statements, leading questions like “Do you think “blank moment” means anything?” etc. Remember  that Y’ALL HAVE SEEN THE SHOW AND I HAVE NOT. This informs the way you  talk about things relating to the show. Just be really careful is all  I’m asking. Also: If there is LITERALLY any stance I  could take on this show or character that would make you upset, please  just fucking block the tag

If you WOULD like to discuss the show and my takes on it, the Discord is right here! I don’t go there, so it’s a great place to get every emotion out.

Please thank @sailorsunspot and @moonlight-frittata for backing this odd way of doing a liveblog, and remember my tip jar is always open

Okay, so, let’s get this huge, giant problem I have out of the way. The wolf attack. I have a MASSIVE problem with this, and much iof it is informed by my own life, and the place I live, and the political and personal stituations therein. Don’t misunderstand me, I am in fact not one of those weirdos who thinks killing an animal that kills lviestock is always a moral wrong, but wolves are continually blamed for the actual sins of coyotes and, you know what? Stray ~doggos~. We shot a lot more dogs for taking lambs than anything else. 

Neither do I think media has the responsibility to only portray the most righteous, correct, and holy version of anything. I find it fucking asinine the way people complain about the portrayal of shit sometimes, believe you me. But on a personal level, I find this fucking wolf attack thing reprehensible, annoying, and that sort of city kid shit that is funny when it’s hunting but less so when this idea has led to the near-extinction of a species and there are STILL HUGE DEBATES RAGING in real, human places. I’m not saying you have to have a problem with it. There are loads of things that stick in people’s craw about how things are portrayed in fiction that I would look to you and go, “Oh, get real” about. Fair is fair.

 But, for me: 

There have been exactly 6 fatal wolf attacks in the last 100 years in North America: 2 of them were bit by a rabid wolf and actually died of the rabies, 1 was a toddler killed by her father’s captive wolf, 1 was killed in a captive wolf sanctuary when she went alone into a pen of unsocialized wolves, and the other 2 were a lone human with no other humans around killed by an entire pack, one of which was very likely starving. So you’ll forgive me if, having read the commentary around at least three of these, I think it’s wildly insane to show this on television to a bunch of fucking people who can’t tell the difference between an elk and a mule deer. Wolves did not kill fucking Van, wolves did not attack a group of five young women around a fire, I would give anything for this to have ended up being a fever dream because it annoys the SHIT out of me and I hate being there with a show I really enjoy. 

And, please know, I understand the symbolism here. Taissa is the wolf, and Taissa destroys the things she cares about so that they won’t get in her way. Taissa burns down her own life. Taissa has been acting completely aloof and detached whenever Van mentions anything about them building a life together, while Van is already fucking married to Taissa in her head. And this isn’t me saying, “Taissa doesn’t care for Van” I don’t think that’s true I just don’t think any of these things broadly matter when it comes to the predatory pursuit, the hunt, her desire to win and find victory over things. I think THAT is what Taissa craves the most, and I think that’s why she’s fucking haunting Sammy (I think) and BITING HERSELF in the garden. 

She’ll maul herself if only it means she comes out on top, it’s insane, I love it, I just wish we didn’t have to deal with this particular slice of it OR that I could rely upon people having absolutely any idea whatsoever how nature actually works.

observations and discussion of results on the highly sociological research poll of who people's least favourite roy sibling out of the big 3 (shiv, roman, kendall):

a lot of people's least favourite roy was based purely on their own relationship with their siblings ie. "they remind me of my sibling so I hate them/think they're annoying"

next most common reasoning was based on morality. not necessarily an objective sense of good/bad but what the person found to be morally reprehensible. ie. many people said kendall was their least favourite because of how he spoke to rava, or how he had no consistent politics. a few people said shiv was their least favourite because of what she did with cruises, and of course loads chose roman based on the fascism.

interestingly, a lot of people interpreted the question morally as "who is the worst" rather than who is your personal least favourite", which tells me a lot of people feel the need to moralise their dislike in one way or another.

the characters' treatment of women was a common reason cited for all 3 options. which is mostly funny to me in that all 3 treat women awfully and it more seemed to me people were using that to justify their dislike of one in particular.

loads of people simply didn't read it properly and answered as favourite, a fascinating insight into reading comprehension on this cite.

Roman fans were most likely to pick Kendall as their least favourite and vice versa. People who tended to be Connor or Kendall fans were the most likely to pick shiv. Roman fans tended not to pick Shiv, often giving some variation the reason that they viewed them as the closer siblings. Fans of Greg and/or Tom tended to choose Shiv for obvious reasons, though they often cited cruises as the reason.

Loads of people wanted to pick Connor, but in his absence chose Kendall too. similar to the roman/shiv alliance, people were less likely to pick the sibling they viewed as being close to their favourite.

I predicted roman to get the most votes, with Kendall a close second, but can only speculate that I underestimated the amount of younger siblings on this site and/or tumblrs' history of woobifying little gross men.

Most people who took the poll were gay in some way.

My absolute favourite reason someone wrote was that they hated roman because, and I quote, "he was mean to kendall on his birthday."

Finally, all of us who chose least favourite based on which character reminded them of themselves should pool our money for therapy.

Cabrini Review

Ah fuck, it's my first Angel Studios movie. Never heard of them? Well, they are a Mormon faith-based movie company that uses crowd-funding to produce their movies. Naturally it's CEOs and film makers are all God-fearing, alt-right, dog whistle-spouting, propaganda-spreading Neo-Nazis. They're most famous for a movie that came out last year called Sound of Freedom, the "true" story about a guy who tried to end child trafficking by child trafficking. And then one of the film's funders got arrested for child trafficking. Can't fucking make that shit up. The only reason the theater I work at shows these movies is because the company and a distribution deal with Angel, the only people who come to see them are decrepit old bags who only watch to have their worst presuppositions confirmed and masochists who've lost their riding crops like myself.

TO BE FAIR, I was morbidly curious to see After Death, their documentary about proving the existence of the after life. (But it left the theaters before I had a chance to watch it.) And the premise of telling a story about a real life nun I've never heard of isn't a bad one. Glancing at Wikipedia it seems like the real life Cabrini wasn't caught grifting sick patients or stealing babies like certain other nuns. So maybe the movie is a decent retelling of the person's life. We shall see.

What's The Movie About?

This is a biopic of Francis Xavier Cabrini, an Italian nun who was the first Catholic saint from the US. The movie specifically follows a mission to New York City building an orphanage and then a hospital.

What I Like.

Cabrini was a good character in the movie. She was driven and stubborn, generally wise, kind to those less fortunate but didn't allow anyone to take advantage of her. Her plans to fund her various projects and protect her wards were pretty inspiring, not gonna lie. And I liked that they let her cry in a couple scenes and didn't give her shit for it (Even what she was crying over was kinda weird). I also like her friend Victoria, a prostitute who murdered her pimp is self defense then works with Cabrini. I was concerned that the movie makers were taking the piss releasing this on International Women's Day, but no the women characters are good. John Lithgow plays the corrupt mayor of New York who is cartoonishly evil and I kinda loved it. The set design and costuming was also pretty good. I liked all the top hats and cigars. There's some pretty neat scene transitions as well. Also the movie didn't try to pass off any reprehensible behavior as righteous, so it cleared the minimum requirement.

What I Didn't Like.

So Cabrini is a fine character in the movie, but she also has absolutely no flaws. I mean she's sickly, but that never really plays into anything in the plot or prevents her from doing anything. Actually I lied, the one part of the plot that is played into by the being chronically sick thing is she meets a doctor she becomes friends with, so her one flaw is a net positive. She's also followed around by 5 or 6 other nuns who get absolutely no characterization. I think they said one of their names once but I can't remember what it was. I also find it a bit funny that this Christian movie about a Catholic nun makes the Catholic Church a secondary antagonist. But they also try to present the story for being a bit morally grey, yet everything Cabrini does is entirely righteous and everyone trying to stop her is either racist, corrupt, or both. There was one scene where the editing made me entirely confused about where characters were, and the fact the shit started exploding didn't help. The message of the movie was "Start the Mission, God will provide the means." Not only is that just not how the world works, but the main conflict in the movie is Cabrini not having enough money to do any of the mission work she wants to do and has to convince other people to donate. "But Roan," Joe Buggknutz protests, "The means God provided were the donations from the people." But not only did Cabrini basically have to beg for all of the money, (which maybe you can argue is part of the mission but she's already taking care of orphans and supervising building places for sick and injured to go, which was her stated mission's purpose so it seems churlish to demand that she does more) but half the people she asks don't give her a cent! Thanks for coming through there God! "But- but the Lord works in mysterious ways!" Stop making excuses for your favorite imaginary friend you cuc-

Final Summation.

Cabrini is fine. If you can stomach the idea of making a glowing biopic of a missionary, you can watch this movie with no problems. I'm still not recommending it because fuck Angel Studios. But if your crazy relative sends you one of their free tickets that they try to unload on their audience, there are worse ways to spend two and a half hours.

“We have to protect our children!”

Whenever I hear this sentence, I have mixed feelings, because on the one hand I am absolutely against sexualization of children through sexual education under the age of 10 or even the imparting of sexual practices going far beyond mere teaching of biological reproduction including contraception, since the young people should explore their sexuality themselves instead of disturbed adults at school or even in kindergarten explaining to them what anal sex or "love balls" are! On the other hand, this phrase is also often used by ultra-conservatives to express their rejection of homosexuality by equating it with perverted pedophile tendencies, as the atomic bomb in their moral arsenal; while they themselves like to watch secretly teen-girl porn on dubious websites…

Therefore, this statement "to protect children" is mostly just an excuse to morally prohibit any form of love and physical closeness between men, to "protect" children from such "morally reprehensible" images. But no one saved me from THEIR images, so I had to accept clichés about boy+girl=love instead of boy+boy=love since early childhood, without it ever making me "straight". It really annoyed me a lot because I simply never had any interest in these squeaky girls. And when I hung out with girls it was only because they behaved like boys and were good buddies.

These are all just clichés that were projected onto me, even through annoying questions from my grandparents: "Do you have a girlfriend?" Fuck no! Sometime years later my parents said to this pointless question: "No, he has a boyfriend." Deep silence and I still don't know whether they feigned indifference at that moment or secretly felt disappointment. To be honest, I don't give a shit, because the only thing I want is to be left alone by them, without any morals. That's why I think it would only be fair if there were fucking fairy tales that don't revolve around an annoying princess who is ensnared by one or more princes, but also stories where princes are only interested in other princes.

It's much more complicated in real life

By the way, I VOLUNTARILY had my first time with a man over 30 years old when I was 16. Is this still pedophile, or is it already normal? I think we need to differentiate much more between children and teens and, above all, take voluntariness into account. Plus, my beard always made me look older. I think it's me who is normal and not society who thinks it's abnormal for an underage teen boy to voluntarily have sex with experienced men. Free will is the magic word! With my current mind, I would enjoy it even more if I found myself in the same situation at the same age.

I also have the impression that most pedophiles are straight men who prefer little girls over women. This is also culturally anchored through forced marriages; and quite obvious, since femininity simply appears more childlike due to its gentle, soft features. Women's faces usually seem infantile to me and their high, squeaky voices do the rest. So it doesn't surprise me that real straight guys have more problems finding the line between girl and woman, especially if they prefer a slim body type. With boys it is clearer: voice break plus broader muscular physique with body hair and more striking face with beard growth. But for women, it's only the tits that really sets them apart from the girly state, or at most increased body fat in a womanly distribution.

How hard is it to get Reaver to negotiate with you? If you're doing the nasty stuff he wants and bratting appropriately, will he give you more of a leash (heh)? Would he be willing to let you influence business matters if you showed an interest and a knack for it? (I've not played Fable yet so I'm totally in the dark)

Thankfully, playing Fable isn't pertinent to our Reaver outside of establishing a baseline personality (him being a complete jackass.) We really took the characters and ran with them.

Truthfully, Reaver in Fable is more of a minor character. He's one of the four heroes (and you get him at the very, very end and he has maybe a singular page of dialogue.) Most of his mythos and lore is built around the commentary that others have to say about his character. In Fable 3, he's a minor villain that has two or three cutscenes, one mission based around his house that you don't even really see him outside of the few cutscenes, and as a vehicle for the more reprehensible moral decisions in the game. He's hedonistic, licentious, cruel, amoral, greedy, and ruthless. That's it.

Now, don't get me wrong. That was more than enough to give the fandom some pretty heavy opinions on him that would sway either which way, but speaking realistically, he's a minor part of the game franchise. He's a beloved minor character that we established further out of pure love.

Our Reaver is very heavily based on that Reaver, but we developed him way beyond that. We gave him other traits and characteristics. So everything I say is more or less just our ideas of his character as opposed to his established lore from Lionhead and the Fable franchise.

Reaver, above all, is a businessman. Before he was a businessman, he was a pirate. It all very much influences each other. What I'm saying is he's going to be more than willing to negotiate, but at the end of the day, he will be getting what he wants out of the bargain, even if that means he has to take it.

If you took an interest in his business, he'd be absolutely delighted. He loves showing off his factories and his control over the workers-- but the girls he takes are more concerned with unions and working conditions, usually, which he couldn't give a shit less about.

For Reaver to consider you having a knack for it, you'd have to think exactly like he does. Money first, humanity later-- if at all.

Now, he's willing to barter with you for these things, but you will be giving him things that he considers of equal value. Meaning if you want him to pay his workers even minimum wage, you are going to make it worth his while, and even then, he will usually undercut you somehow. The issue in getting involved with his businesses is that you are putting other lives at risk. If you slip up and say:

"I was talking to some of the workers, and--"

He is going to want to know who, and when you won't tell him, he will start shooting until either everyone is dead, or until someone else talks. He needs complete control over his work force. He does not abide brewing mutiny, whether it's on his ship or in his factories.

You can totally go to bat for people. You can try to have a hand in his business. Keep in mind, though, Reaver already has things working at what he considers to be at 100 percent efficiency. If you want him to crank those numbers, you will be making it worth his while-- and you're not going to like it.

As for obeying him, he will give you leash insofar that he believes you are safe. You will never get to a point in the relationship with him where you will have the control and the upper hand openly, but you can make him so moon-eyed that he'll do stupid shit to make you happy. You will never have full autonomy, but you can manipulate him in ways that other people cannot. You can get him to occasionally act against his own interests.

Ultimately, he does want someone with their own mind, and weirdly, the people he gets attached to most are strong-willed women who do not obey him (has to do with his background and also the fact he is just a sheer bully and he likes a challenge.) He is an underhanded fuck and he is always going to expect the same from you.

You can get to the point where he won't shove you in 'the cage' every time you irritate him, or maybe he won't threaten every person that passes, and even be seen as a sort of 'free and independent' person, but you won't ever escape him. You can think whatever you want, but you don't make the rules. He does.

I guess what I'm saying is, he, as a business man, will negotiate. But he enters things of this nature the same way he approaches business arrangements. He will be coming out on top.

We've had 400 new followers in the past month and I read a thing saying if you had a spike in followers recently they're probably from Twitter?

But my posts are too long for you to have seen screenshots of me on Twitter. How many of yall followed this blog because you've heard of us on Twitter?

Anyways, house keeping.

If I give you a list of blogs to follow. It's because I'm white and I want you to follow the BIPOC I'm getting my information from. I notice if you don't follow them and I do judge you.

Transphobia is inherently racist. Full stop.

Don't put your Harry Potter house in your bio. We don't support JK Rowling around these parts.

We're leftists around these parts. Not liberals. Liberals are inherently conservative leaning centrists.

We support BLM, Land Back, MMIW2S, and the women of Iran.

Don't use AAVE if you're white. AAVE is not GenZ slang. It's fucking weird for white people to use it.

We are pro-choice.

We are anti-fascist.

Housing, food, warm clothes, and medicine is a right.

Unionize your workplace.

Abolish the police and the Industrial Prison Complex

While I do appreciate the messages telling me that I've got something good going here. There's nothing I'm saying that people of color haven't said first. Especially women of color. Especially queer and disabled women of color.

Fae (the creator of the blog) identifies as queer. If you're going to call it "q-slur" I'm going to assume you're aphobic and panphobic and block you.

I try to keep women of color voices on this blog. Which is why I tag my content. Because I don't to take credit for their content which is like a shitton better than mine.

I have auditory processing disorder and migraines. So I'll always reblog anyone that writes captions of the tiktok videos I post because doing it myself is very difficult.

Don't use fatphobia, abelism, or classism when trying to insult a conservative. You call them morally reprehensible, wilfully ignorant, and bigoted.

I queue shit like 30 days out at least (I think my queue is at 45 days now?) In case I have mental or physical health issues. So like... yeah. I went through a mental health episode a few months ago due to having to block a toxic friend, and my queue was running DRY. So, like. It did its job during my time of need.

(By "we" I mean our followers as well as myself. If you don't align with my values, imma just assume you're wilfully ignorant and lacking if basic human empathy.)
