this is the way the supernatural ends. not in a satisfying resolution but in a casbait

#can't believe two series in what is now a franchise have ended in casbait #i AM counting ''we were going to have cas but he's too important he'll maybe be in s2 oh no there is no s2'' #clarifying tags before i get eaten alive i DO think jackles wants cas back & i do think there's a nonzero chance streaming will pick it up

i would like to make a public complaint to my mutuals for the depraved fucking raphael smutfic idea that has wormed into my brain.

i don't even like him that much.

#my partner and i were having a lore discussion about devil hierarchy and power #and they made a comment about him 'chugging that devil milk to get extra strong bones' #and my wretched brain went: '... lactation kink where raphael uses haarlep to power up' #also to clarify i love him as a character i think he's absolutely pathetic and a delight and extremely well-designed #i just would not have really thought to WRITE for him #anyway i do blame all of my mutuals who keep putting high quality raphael content on my dashboard #i can't believe you've done this etc etc #my stuff #raphael #bg3 raphael #bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #haarlep #bg3 haarlep #fic idea

they did NOT just take the most lesbophobic line in the movie that single-handedly contributed to years of my internalised lesbophobia and made me scared to be normal around my girl friends forever and yassify it into THE sapphic bop of the year. what can I say no notes slay absolute cunt i am thriving let's go lesbians let's fucking gooooooooo

#mean girls #reneé rapp #let's go lesbians #i can't believe i have to clarify this but btw im not calling that line problematic or anything i know that was the point #what can i say it hit too close to home for 12 year old me #megan thee stallion

Regarding the whole "Fandom Is An Escape, so why should I have to care this much about misogyny/racism/ableism/transphobia/etc." thing. Idk about the rest of you, but it gets kind of hard for me to "escape" when I keep seeing people say the same vile things about characters who share aspects of my identity that I hear all the time in real life.

#gotta say: it doesn't make me feel any better getting ignored/disparaged on account of my gender irl and then seeing every fictional woman #also get ignored/disparaged when there is no material difference between her and popular male characters other than her gender #how do I escape from irl misogyny if y'all keep willfully ignoring and flinging gendered insults at 99% (<-lowball estimate) of #female characters? how do I put aside the ableism I face in real life when y'all discuss disabled/mentally ill characters in the most #absolutely out-of-pocket way? how do I forget about biphobia when the 'arguments' you make 'for fun' about bisexual characters #in fiction sound EXACTLY the same as the things people say about my bisexuality outside of the internet/fan culture? #and then obviously this gets compounded if you are trying to even simply EXIST in fandom as a poc or a trans person or an intersection of #any or all these varying identities/life experiences #like yes caring about fictional characters is not the same as caring about real people OBVIOUSLY I can't BELIEVE I have to keep clarifying #that. and at the same time!! because multiple things can be true at the same time!!!! engaging in behavior that enforces pre-ingrained #societal biases and prejudices!!!!!!!! does not help dismantle those biases and prejudices!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in a real-world way that DOES #involve caring about actual people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #it's also. interesting. when people go on & on about how some newest show about thin cis white (male) gays is So Important & Revolutionary #So We Must Do Everything To Keep It Relevant And Visible and then act this way about women/poc/trans people/disabled people/fat people #in media. so like. you DO agree that seeing a variety of life experiences represented in fiction is beneficial. you DO believe in the #value of depicting marginalized people. interesting that that only seems to apply to a VERY narrow and specific category of marginalization #(ugh remember when I talked about this and someone called me a straight person good times)

Honestly, to me the funniest thing about Dune (book) yet is that everyone, and I mean everyone, manages to indirectly call Paul a twink one way or the other. It's hysterical to me how they're all so sophisticated with their words but when it comes to refreshing the audience's memory re: Paul's appearance, no matter whose POV I'm reading, it's always like "oh and then there was Paul who was pretty and built like a fucking twig" like OKAY

#The only reason Herbert never outright called Paul a twink in the books is because the word wasn't in use yet send tw (gets shot) #This is /j btw I can't believe I feel like I have to clarify that #Anyway I'm having a blast reading the book. It's incredibly clear it was written decades ago but I'm having a great time all the same #erin.txt #dune

well I just spent an hour digging through my own dnd notes and social media and also almost cried because I mentioned, in passing, something justin had said about one of his NPCs and he, completely lightheartedly, was like '?? I don't remember that at all. [I mean I'm not making it up?] I think you might be making it up 😏'

#me-- instantly stressed and near tears: I know you're joking and it's not even important but. that isn't funny. to me. #I really wish there was a term for 'gaslighting but they're not doing it on purpose' #this is distinct from simply 'being wrong' because 'that's definitely not what happened 🤨' is a key part of it #the other person trying to convince me that I'm wrong and I must be crazy-- not for manipulation purposes but because THEY forgot #and are MUCH more confident in the possibility that I'm completely full of shit than that they maybe can't remember exactly #this is an extraordinarily specific thing that nonetheless happens to me ASTONISHINGLY OFTEN. #I mean clearly often enough that I'm now hair-trigger sensitive upset about it #AND TO CLARIFY QUICKLY-- that's not what justin even did (this time) but 'well I don't remember that' is still... #OKAY WELL I DO. WHY DOESN'T ANYONE EVER BELIEVE ME. #trembling and crying searching for Receipts while explaining to my husband that it's not even that I don't think he believes me (this time) #I just. I just. I just. I'm not fucking crazy. I know you don't think I'm crazy. but I still feel like I Have to prove it. #my mom sending a package to the wrong address and then saying-- confidently and irritably-- 'you never GAVE me a unit number' #when I can scroll back up through texts to where I sent her our new address when we moved and it was complete and correct #my friend during our big stupid fight saying 'no one actually AGREED to that [dnd] plan except you and justin 😒' #going back into my audio recording to that conversation where everyone BUT him agreed #including his fucking pick-me 'yeah jay's being shitty right now' brother whose character said 'this sounds like a good plan' verbatim #like. I KNOW it's not just 'my memory vs theirs and we both assume we're right' #because SO OFTEN when this happens I have FUCKING RECEIPTS. that I'M NOT WRONG OR CRAZY. #no one ever wants to entertain the notion that I might know what I'm talking about. #I can't stress enough that I'm not mad at justin right now he was very much 'no I believe you! it's weird that I don't remember though' #which is fair! honestly! but I'm a LITTLE. sensitive. of the fact that everyone always ALWAYS automatically assumes I'm incorrect #and very often in a way that's a mark against my competence or character. #'well *I* couldn't *possibly* have gotten the address wrong so YOU must have fucked it up' #you know. it's like that. it's like that a lot. #maybe this only happens to me so much because I happen to be cursed with remembering things better than most people #or maybe I'm uniquely viewed as incompetent. who can say. #about me

Someday the local lgbt youth/ young adult center will hire a facilitator for the trans support group who knows how to be normal about trans men

I've been going for 4 years now and we've had

1. A trans woman who once described her sexuality as "straight but flexible" because she'd consider dating a trans man if they were "man enough"

2. A trans man who believed (and told a bunch of teenagers) that trans men shouldn't want to be men but if we *had* to be then we have a responsibility to 'make up for it' by never going out in public after dark (lest cis women be intimated by our man-ness) and other similar things

3. A nonbinary person who did not believe that trans men can be gay (trans men are men and can be attracted to men but should leave 'gay man' for cis men and use androsexual instead)

4. A nonbinary person who believes that anyone can do drag except trans men because drag is about having a complex relationship with gender and trans men are 'just men' and therefore cannot have a complex relationship with gender

#most of these people i didnt know long enough to have actual personal feelings about them #but 1 i love dearly #and 4 seems mostly cool in the short time I've known them #2 and 3 i didnt know very long #but also to clarify 3 fully believes trans women can be lesbians but for some reason trans men cannot be men #and i love the fact that in 4s belief trans men can't do drag because 'theyre just men' but cis men can? #so trans men are men but cis men arent #thats a new one #op

Having an abuser leave my life finally after so long without having to have another traumatic confrontation with her one last time is such a fucking relief. But it's also a sign of immense growth on my end that I let myself distance myself from her when 2 years ago I couldn't imagine doing that. Meds definitely help, but I can't give them all the credit. Most of it was my doing. I managed to get to the point where I care about my safety more than giving even the worst people the benefit of the doubt and falling for their manipulation.

This is sadly not the end of me being affected by everything, but it was necessary in order for me to be able to even start recovering. Being so afraid constantly is never a good thing, but the root being one person, and it being a justified fear? At that point, none of the good moments matter. I'm done. I feel so sorry for myself. I lost so much of my life because of her and I'll never be able to get those years back. But at least I won't lose any more.

#hopefully I can have a better life and better friends moving forward I'm so fucking exhausted #I refuse to blame myself any longer she saw someone mentally ill (and dysphoric) and took advantage #the way she kept justifying her abusive behavior to no end to the point she actually believes she's a good friend is unreal #it makes me sick how much she fucked me up I feel like I can't think properly #like I can't tell what's true or false it's not even self doubt anymore this is on a whole another level #I feel like she's there even now that she's gone but at least she *is* gone #emotional abuse #vent #cptsd #abuse #tw abuse #avpd #to clarify she's done more than just emotionally abuse me but that's for another post #this is more about the emotional and verbal abuse #verbal abuse #trauma #past abuser #complex trauma

Just got back from watching a production of Les Mis and yeah man to love another person really is to see the face of God 😭😭😭

#my favourite musical. last time i saw it was in..... 2015? around there #i have... some criticisms for this production but it made me cry a lot and left me dehydrated so it's still a win! #les mis #ramblings of a bystander #ok but seriously who decided to cast what looked like two south east asian sisters as child cosette and child eponine #and then adult eponine was also south east asian but cosette was NOT and was a full white woman #bizarre choice. we have so many characters to keep track of you should not be confusing my ability to follow them #a bit TOO many extras and too much activity on stage during sort of ensemble scenes #that made it a bit difficult to locate who was actually speaking/singing a couple times #javert was just a touch too stiff in his body language. actually a few missed body language opportunities #that would have helped clarify what was happening I'm just lucky to really know it all already #REALLY didn't like fantine's characterisation and delivery on a few lines but otherwise she was fine #also i can't believe enjolras first appeared on stage NOT wearing red and then had a costume change for the les amis cafe meetup #just put him in red straight away? why did grantaire also have a costume change to completely different color scheme at one point. #...it WAS a good production I'm just nitpicking. because it's my fave so i have OPINIONS #jean valjean was fantastic! #anyway. I'm gonna make myself some dinner now. and then see what I've missed

...People DO realize they can ship two male characters WITHOUT diminishing the importance of the women in the story to both the overall narrative and the male characters themselves, right. RIGHT.

#I mean. tbh I think the answer in a lot of cases is 'no' but I promise it's possible #like again. I'm not asking people to like. idk never care about male characters or something? #I'm just asking people to evaluate in which contexts they view women (fictional AND real) as disposable and insignificant and inferior #and to recognize that misogyny doesn't always look like 'I hate women as a group of people and want them all to die' #misogyny in fandom #also. te__s this post isn't for you trans women are women #(can't BELIEVE I have to fucking clarify that every time but unfortunately people don't know how to act)

[bankaizen]

god forbid some people be uncomfortable with how you ship your self-inserts lmao

god forbid you use your brain and actually read what i said

these are people who feel some type of ownership over characters and don't like anyone else playing with what they think is theirs because they get on some weird possessive bullshit about it

also oc ≠ self-insert. and regardless, what is y'alls fucking gripe with self-inserts?
