#however that was not her fault

[clonerightsagenda]

While there are critiques to be made about the Tortall Tricksters duet and I've seen other people with more standing make them, I do think it's interesting for Pierce to take the Great Mother Goddess who was the divine patron of her original main character and have her also be the patron goddess of a group of white supremacist colonizer villains. Like yeah maybe the goddess backing the armed enforcer of fantasy!Western Europe's royal family doesn't always have great politics. When Aly rebels against her mom she does not fuck around

#perpetual perpetual ladies night #and then in the Beka Cooper books she gets used to promote institutionalized sexism #however that was not her fault #lioness quartet: the goddess is the protector of women #trickster duology: *white women actually #shocker! we first heard about the pantheon through one perspective. other groups prioritize different divinities #tortall

Courier six character !!!(1 of 4)

This is the guy I’ve been playing as for my wild card run, with some tweaks to make him a cool oc👍

He’s like if a neurotic scientist and somebody’s well meaning but maladjusted dad where the same person. He likes robots and fishing

You can date some of these doodles depending on my handwriting in it lmao

In terms of design most of my courier characters have one “unique” more casual outfit I just bullshitted up, and an in game armor I’m probably not drawing on model. My NCR courier Dan got first come first serve with the ranger fit so Gazer gets the stealth suit mk II because I crave individuality

#he has been Mistaken for Gordon Freeman on Multiple occasions now #I’m not saying this is hlvrai’s fault but I am saying that this probably wouldn’t happen if it didn’t exist/j /lovingly #I don’t draw him on model to his in game character at all and I’m not sorry🫶 #Dan however looks pretty accurate lmao #I’ll post Dan later but I need more pictures of her that aren’t from 2019 #courier oc #my art #courier six #fnv courier #fnv #fnv oc #fnv fanart #Gazer Valmorida #fallout arcade #arcade gannon #yes man #fallout yes man #fnv yes man #fnv arcade #fnv veronica #veronica santangelo #fallout new vegas #fallout nv #fallout

TW// GROOMING, MANIPULATION breaking down tigerheartstar and dovewing and why i think its awful ik I said that I dont really like warrior cats anymore but recently i've been thinking about some stuff regarding the series and its fandom and there's one thing that's been particularly bothering me. dovewing and tigerheart. it's just crazy to see the shift of support for tigerdove considering early 2010s warriors fandom seemed mixed on them. now there seems to be this equivocal support for them, probably because most of the fandom's exposure to the couple has been the recent books which frames them as man who loves his wife x burnt out prophecy kid who will do anything for her malewife. which theres nothing wrong with that dynamic, i think it's cute, but people really seem to forget about how tigerheart straight up groomed and treated dovewing awfully throughout oots and even in tigerheart's shadow. it seems to be a forgotten fact that tigerheart was a full grown warrior by the time he was pursuing dovepaw, who was a newly made apprentice. for perspective, this was a 6-7 moon teenager with someone almost the age of her mentor (a little younger). people try to use the excuse "oh but they're cats" and "the age gap isnt that bad" but even the recent books acknowledge with frostpaw and splashtail, that a warrior and apprentice dating is WEIRD. tbf oots was released in the early 2000s, but the fact that canonically speaking the age gap is seen as a teenager and adult relationship gives me the ick. it really puzzles me to see people get on ships like dustfern and bramblesquirrel (both of which i hate btw) for their age gaps but come up with every excuse in the books to defend tigerdove. its not even just the age gap too, again, their relationship has consisted of tigerheart manipulating and grooming dovepaw to do what he wants. in the first two books (esp the second book of oots) dovepaw is presented as someone who got attached to the cats from the journey and doesnt necessarily understand why they must act like they shouldnt exist anymore due to the borders. this is something that tigerheart LEARNS and actively takes advantage of when dovepaw questions why hes at their borders (tldr its dark forest stuff). he shifts the topic and then goes on about the journey and how he felt that they almost became friends, and that if they were in the same clan things would be easier. this may not seem like a big deal, but this goes on for the rest of their interactions whenever tiger needs to pressure her to do something she doesnt want (meeting up, trusting him, etc.) He realizes that the subject of different borders resonates with her and uses it to his advantage whenever he wants something out of her. This can especially be seen in the next book, “Night Whispers”, which kickstarted their relationship. Dovepaw accidentally ran into ShadowClan territory while hunting, and Tigerheart happens to find her there. Once again, he gives her a speech about borders being meaningless, before asking her to meet up with him before the ShadowClan patrol catches them. There’s also other examples in later books where he coerces her into meeting up or trusting him since “that’s what friends are for” or even later in that book, where he manipulates her into using Ivypaw as a captive for herbs. 

When you take this into account, plus him as a full grown warrior, starting a romantic relationship with a barely apprenticed Dovepaw who is shown as having a childish/ immature perception on romance/mates (such as her argument with Ivypaw and claiming that she should “find her own mate”), Tigerdove feels very much like grooming to me. According to the dictionary definition grooming is, “the action of attempting to form a relationship with a child or young person, with the intention of sexually assaulting them”. Of course, in this case, since it’s a young adult book, it’s to form a romantic relationship, which could also be another goal of grooming. Groomers tend to display manipulative behaviors towards the victims in order to coerce them into trusting them more. Whether that be through compliments, gifts, trying to resonate with them or make them feel special. They tend to try to get them to keep and “share” secrets, which is another tactic they utilize both to isolate the victim and to get them to feel more comfortable. 

A lot of behaviors that Tigerheart displays towards Dovepaw falls under this, including the examples I mentioned. There are a couple of other comments that he makes which come off as creepy such as Dovepaw “being his favorite sister”, which as I established, is something a groomer would say in order to make the victim feel as though they’re special and garner their trust. Which is especially the case when you note that he makes that comment in reference to Dovepaw asking about his ties to Ivypaw, which he actively lies about, and quickly reassures her that there’s nothing going on. 

This tactic of manipulation, where he either makes her feel special, or even love bombs and dissuade her from standing up for herself, doesn’t stop when she’s an apprentice. It continues when she’s a warrior, and is constantly used throughout OOTS and “Tigerheart’s Shadow”. At one point in the series, Dovewing and Tigerheart get into an argument about Dawnpelt wrongfully accusing Jayfeather of murder. When Tigerheart defends his sister, Dovewing stands up for Jayfeather, which prompts Tigerheart to try and manipulate her out of the conversation. He jumps straight to talking about how much he loved and missed her, and guilts her by asking why they had to argue like this, and why they couldn’t just “meet like before”. As for Tigerheart's Shadow, he actively goes against what she wants (to raise her kits outside the clan) and actively pressures and guilts her into coming back, before she finally relents. He doesn't care about what SHE wants, it's always about him. Whether it be secretly meeting up, or in The Last Hope, he tries to pressure her to date him again (which she FINALLY refuses and scolds him for thinking about his own needs when they're right before a final battle. as she should). It's especially upsetting in the newest book that tigerheart seems to be the only think at the center of her character. when she argues with ivypool, it's less about the two sister's interpersonal conflicts and more about her and tigerheart's relationship. which...feels like a lot of missed potential to me? i want them to argue, i want dovewing to stand up to herself against ivypool, but why does the entire conflict have to revolve around him? why can't dovewing have her own thoughts and feelings without it tying back to her awful husband?

#☕.txt #txt #some of these are snippets of my essay i wrote on the two in a fit of rage after seeing tigerheartstar fans attack harestar fans #i might share it with the world if i care to one day #dove revolving her character around tiger is unfortunately why i dont care for her canon character because it feels mostly shallow #however it isnt the poor girl's fault just the erins' incapability of writing women but thats a talk for another day #if i were to rewrite the books (which i have some ideas on) i would definitely get rid of this god awful relationship #warriors #warrior cats #tigerheart #dovewing #tigerheartstar #tigerstar #tigerdove #warior cats

marito being so unfazed by that sex doll of him clearly indicates he's seen it before, he knows mahoro has it, but i want to know how she got it. because i think outa gave it to her. "sorry i'm fucking your brother please don't stab me" present (and he's alive so it worked)

#crab watches #bucchigiri?! #also the fact that marito knows exactly where to look for her #knew all her usual hiding spots didn't he!! #she has absolutely been in the room while they fucked before MAHORO SWEETIE I'M SO SORRY #RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR SALAD THEY DID #HOWEVER. slightly your fault girl you need a better escape route

Idk if this is controversial, but studying for a English/writing degree at university shouldn’t make you NOT want to engage with writing or literature. Just a thought.

#the amount of times one of my literature professors presented us with the worst reading or interpretation (some of which were just plain #revolting) of a piece of literature almost as if she were expecting us to like it just because it was sensational and me and everyone else #going ‘um. no. sorry. not only does that make no sense but now I kind of want to throw up’ #I just came here to read some gothic lit and honestly I’m feeling so attacked right now. (my fault for signing up for gothic lit I suppose) #her English survey class made me never want to look at the written word again #however I know this isn’t me having an issue with survey classes (although the rate they make you read at is kind of ridiculous and I read #fast: case in point for one of them I had to read Huck Finn in 9 days) #because I took American Survey from another professor and it was really challenging but probably the best course I ever took at university #I was not expecting to develop such a distaste for the academic world at uni but maybe that’s just my university (whenever I complain about #this my mom always tells me I need to watch Dead Poet’s Society lol) #siggggghhh anyway. hoping for some better classes with my exchange program (although none of them are writing/English as I’m almost #finished with my degree) #english lit #university #english #college

It's amusing that RWBY in all likelihood, actually accomplished Adam's dream by destroying the SDC and Atlas in V8. They posthumously fulfilled his wishes without even meaning to lol.

The man also seemed to want the destruction of the academies and yeah so far the team is 3 for 3 on that front.

#anon #unofficial adam answers #adam taurus #rwde #all the bees shippers make jokes abt him rolling in his watery grave about the ship but #dude’s probably high-fiving Blake in her dreams #Blake can preach all the pacifist ideals she wants but the trail of destruction behind her and her team is hard to ignore #(yes it’s not their fault alone that things went awry. it is however funny)

id make egbert watch this shit with me hed hate it so much Id trick him into it id be like "Hey bro come sit on the couch next 2 me i found something really cool we can watch" And he'd be really skeptical hed be like "is it That lame dinosaur show again you know i cant stand that shit!!!" and it'd be like 5 minutes of me reassuring him that No its not Dinosaurs (1991) again that im not messing with him i pinky swear before he'd finally sit on the couch And then id turn on the tv and it's the intro for Dinosaurs (1991)

#my rambles #homestuck #i sincerely love watching this show Its so terrible but theres an episode where the dad learns to be not homophobic And its pretty cool #also the son dinhosaurs a piece of shit but its not his fault Some episodes he's a feminist and progressive and shit #and then others he's made into this raging misogynist asshole Just bc its convenient #i love the granny dinosaur shes the only one whose name i consistently remember her name is Ethyl i think . however its spelled

Of note breaking into the Clot's car park isn't the best idea. Although she has busted every camera in her domain to keep the micromanaging eye of security off her branch, Carmen does take her job title seriously. Her Lady of Flesh (Lilin) wouldn't approve of anything less. In all honesty, this was only supposed to be something to show off her wonky, goose tongue. I didn't plan on having to draw a car.... or at least mentally prepare myself.

zelda is done. so dirty sometimes

#like. either A her things are attributed to link (ive seen a comic where rhoam scolding zelda for her failures was made to be a comic about #link and like. he wasnt even talking to him!!!!!!!!! theres other ways you can show that and other ways that include rhoam considering he w #as on the great plateau but They Didnt??? and also silent princesses and such but thats a ship thing i think? #or B they blame her for things that literally were not her fault and she couldnt do anything about #(seen someone in a theory video blame zelda for everyone dying because ‘link using the shekiah slate would open the shrines. is she stupid’ #paraphrasing but that was the gist. shrines dont even work that way theyre just Wrong #or sometimes shes made out to be stupid in general #like listen. im not a zelda character fan. i dont love her and i dont hate her. but Come On #you dont have to be obsessed with her or even focus on her in what you make just . Respect her i guess #it feels weird to say because shes a character. however i dont know how else to say it

she-cats that have suffered more than jesus christ:

- squirrelstar

- leafpool

- frostpaw

- bluestar

- yellowfang

- brightheart

- mothwing

- mapleshade (don't come for me)

- ivypool

- moth flight

#mapleshades suffering is mostly her own fault but i think if the clans werent so strict about taking mates from other clans none of that #would have happened #however #shes still a stupid bitch that left her kids in a locked hot car and blamed everyone else for it

[blueingsfairy]

the thing that lowkey kills me about spider is that, it’s you can’t blame anyone too much in that situation( except jake. fuck jake ). it’s unfair to expect neytiri to be okay with son of the man who destroyed her home walking around with her kids, it’s unfair to expect them to sacrifice their safety for spider when he gets caught, it’s unfair to hold it against her when she uses him as a bargain because she’s a mother who just lost a child and she can’t lose another. it’s unfair to hold her it against her too much. but at the same time it’s not his fault who his father is and it’s not his fault human imperialism is plaguing pandora again. it’s not his fault he is an orphan of war and it’s not his fault that he needed someone. so i can’t really hold it against him too much when he saves quadritch. it’s grey areas all around.

#neytiri #avatar 2 #avatar the way of water #avatar #avatar 2022 #avatar spider #spider socorro #spider socorro apologist #i love spider #it’s not his fault he’s human but it’s also not hers either #tolerance and allowing him to simply exist around her kids is the closest thing to kindness she can give him #jake however #do better bitch #you were human once and you try to forget it #fuck jake #the more i think about the note i hate jake #neytiri avatar #jake sully

Every day i open insta and then come on here to talk ab #society

if more of the oomfies were to read unjust depths knowing that i have latched onto maryam as Just Like Me FR i wonder what her introduction would make them think of me. sorry for psionically giving women fucked up tentacle sex nightmares about me. as if it's my fault

for such a small fandom, the moral orel community really does have a huge fucking problem with woobification of the adult cast.

it's gross.

#this isn't about liking characters this is however about using that as an excuse to pretend they are not horrible people. #like literally the only decent adult in moralton is stephanie- others may have their moments but overall? just her. #& that's thematically fucking important! like the fact that the only good person in a town suffocated by it's own rigid adherence to WASP #social norms is a visually non-conforming lesbian? yeah that kinda fucking means something! that was a pointed writing choice! #also before anyone mentions officer papermouth hes a cop. moreover he's a cop in a town where several characters are canonically racist. #& its a town where people are known to mostly hold the same views on social issues due to the aforementioned strict adherence to WASP norms #do not “officer papermouth seems like a good guy.” me i will chuck your kneecaps into a river. #but enough with the uwu cutesy headcanons about characters who are canonically racist/homophobic/abusive/misogynistic! #enough with the blaming literally every character except your personal favourite for the climate of the town! #enough with blaming only one parent for the puppington family dynamic! #enough with acting like characters don't have faults because you happen to find a clay figurine unreasonably attractive! #you're missing the fucking point! #enough enough enough enough! learn how to actually analyze & interact with the media you consume please! #moral orel #also: #proshippers dni #you lot are the worst of the fucking bunch & your approach to media as a group is horrific. fuck off.
