idk man frequently i talk to trans men and mascs who basically tell me that they came out as queer or nonbinary years ago, but were terrified to come out as men or transition in a way that would mean they were perceived as male even though the dysphoria was crushing

specifically bc of rejection from their communities, from other queer people, other trans people, bc men are bad and awful

like. a fella told me earnestly he read this essay about how masculinity isn't inherently toxic from another trans man and im so glad it was positive for him and gave him the courage to transition, but it was horrifying to me that he should be made to feel so disgusted by his own gender that he needed that

esp bc once you're out as queer you're already rejected by mainstream society, so other queers are all you have - the prospect of being ousted and rejected from those spaces bc you become A Man is naturally terrifying

and its literally just rad fem rhetoric of men and masculinity = evil and bad that's infected queer spaces like a festering mould. ppl do it to cis gay and queer men as well, and also just to nonbinary ppl they perceive as cis men bc they don't like their language etc, and to trans men and mascs

ppl are sometimes like. surprised. when i don't apologise for being a man and assert that loving men is natural and beautiful, and reject the appeal of womanhood or women

as if that's not queer enough when like ??? hi???? my attraction to other men IS the queerness?

The way Dennis, at 30 years old, still has to make sure he doesn't share his desires or talk about his dreams around Frank because of what he did to them as kids. He was having fun with Charlie and Mac, making a vision board, dreaming like a kid again, and Frank managed to catch a glimpse, and managed to make him feel like he did as a kid, once again reminding him he's still stuck there.

like i see people say stuff like “rei is a deconstruction of the idea of like the perfect girl in a male gaze-y way” and and i'm ready to agree until they go “it’s because she’s creepy and weird and bad!” like no. rei's a deconstruction of misogynistic ideas of womanhood because they’re ideals forced upon her that damage her, not because she’s in any way “creepy”. like, the fact she’s a fourteen year old girl who was basically used as a substitute wife by her father bc she looked like his own dead wife is not something that is meant to make rei look bad like holy shit.

like both rei and asuka are very obviously like. showing fantasised and misogynistic ideas of an idealised woman don’t work irl yeah. shinji's misogynistic view of them is wrong. but that’s not because rei and asuka are bad people it’s because like. “fourteen year old who's flirty and seductive” and “fourteen year old who's a quiet obedient object” are major signs of abuse and trauma and anyone actually acting in those ways at that age clearly isn’t normal. asuka is desperate for attention in any way she can get it, even unhealthy and dangerous ways. rei is at the very least I has a weird pseudo-incestous enmeshment filled abusive relationship with her father, even if she's not actively being sexually abused. asuka is seeking support, rei is a grooming victim. these are not things that are flaws in their character the entire point of subverting the expectations is to show how those expectations are unhealthy to rei and asuka like. god.

#like. negative fucking media literacy. #like. rei and asuka show signs of abuse in ways very normal for teenagers #every one of the Children in Evangelion is a victim and they react in messy ways #the point of that isn’t to show that they themselves are bad. it’s to show how trauma fucks you up #like none of them are bad people! they do fucked up shit bc it’s normalised to them! #people will just centre rei and asuka’s trauma around shinji and then call the show misogynistic for that like. #woah pal. there’s issues in the show yeah but i think that’s more an issue on your end buckaroo. #like their trauma interacts with him. and his trauma interacts with them. bc the show is literally about human's influences on each other #like the human instrumentality project isn’t there to just be funny it’s a thematic conclusion??? #and also like. it’s comparing and contrasting all threes trauma to understand exactly how they got shaped the way they are. #just. think about the show you’re watching. please. #rei isn’t creepy she’s a schizophrenic abuse victim who's probably done the least screwed up shit out of the main cast #shinji isn’t a loser he's a heavily mentally ill young boy cracking under the pressure of toxic masculinity and having his boundaries erode #until he's unable to even respect the boundaries of others and recreates his trauma for a desperate attempt at control #asuka isn’t like. okay i mean she IS a bitch but literally so is every thirteen year old ok. #and it’s bc she fucking despises the vulnerability being kind shows. she despises herself and is overcompensating bc she’s scared and 13 #like. god.

Out of curiosity I watched the video showing Adam and Ghira and oh my god y'all were right. This man really did just stand there with his arms up while him and other faunus are being SHOT AT 'Pls stop we're harmless :((((' and then has the flat out audacity to get mad at Adam for saving their lives. What were your plans if someone died, Ghira??? This guy sucks and I don't blame Adam for losing all respect for him.

no like what was that moment meant to serve for ghira? because adam was in the right. i know the show loathes to actually let the man have a point but adam was shot at, alongside other vulnerable faunus!, by a human supremacist & when he reacted in turn to defend himself: ghira admonishes him! like! ghira got hurt but adam is in the wrong for taking out the threat? what kinda fuck shit is that.

it's frustrating because before this, adam was fighting non-lethally. after being shot at repeatedly before that & with sienna's permission to do so.

ignore long adam okay there's nothing i can do about him smh.

but his attacks are mostly to knock them out via kicks / slams & his sword remains sheathed up, while getting shot at by supremacists, up until the human supremacist is shooting at ghira who has no aura. it is a last resort & one that i would not object to being the first when he, again, is being shot at with other faunus! considering this entire context with adam having been a former child slave, he is in no way for the wrong in this & i hate that it's ghira & later blake who are admonishing him for this action when they face none of the danger & the latter is a privileged, protected princess amongst her own people.

like is the point here from crwby that in the face of racialized violence, you shouldn't fight back or you're as bad as your aggressor? oh wait.

god i miss sienna.

& as an extra, fuck blake for this little comment she has about it. i know they used this moment to reinforce adam's "emotional abuse" of blake but in context: girl. you are one of the most privileged of your people alongside your father, were protected all your life as an island princess, meanwhile you're saying this to a former child slave.

"this isn't the first time humans have died" maybe they should stop? attacking the faunus? if this was the moment they wanted to show adam as in the wrong, then maybe they should've actually had him be in the wrong instead of showing their full white comfort, centrist ideals on display.

the thing about tlt is that the characters are so visually distinct that it should be easy to tell them apart in fanart. however. well. you know how it is with necromantic body-swapping.

#like if you see art of harrow it could be harrow for sure. it could also be gideon. or both. or nona. which rly means alecto. or Anastasia. #is that g1deon or pyrrha? #is that dulcinea or cytherea? or wake?? #like. god. #op #tlt #tlt memes #the locked tomb #gideon the ninth

i have so many fucking thoughts this is gonna be so disorganized. ofmd spoilers

•ed calling the older fisherman pop pop. ed the babygirl that u are

•also i did feel kind of bad DKJFH ed was so excited to be a fisherman and he was right that guy was a dick

•his transformation back into blackbeard after seeing the destruction and being scared that he lost stede after they separated again. god. also the fucking physics in this show are so funny bc how was the navy dinghy docked right above where his leathers sunk to???

•everyone leave stede alone be nice to him!!!

•also zheng yi sao thinking she lost auntie and just losing all hope :( so glad auntie wwas alive tho i love her

•"and you are... pinocchio?" izzy ur such a fucking bastard. get his ass

•i also wasn't big on the theory that izzy was going to die bc of how much everyone seemed to love him both on the show and within the fandom but the whole buildup this season between his development and ed's journey toward self discovery honestly made it make so much sense. ed really did need to lose him to truly separate from blackbeard - the two of them together were blackbeard and that's why they were so toxic!!

•THE FUCKING BEACH SCENE. ARE YOU KIDDING ME. OH MY GOD THE PARALLEL TO STEDE'S DREAM. THE REUNION. THE KISS. "I LOVE YOU" "I KNOW" im fucking. biting and scratching at the wall.

•SOMEONE TELL STEDE HE DID A GOOD JOB also ed calling stede babe omg

•"it's only suicide... if we die" babygirl izzy just got shot

•also stede putting on the naval uniform. WHEW.

•i'm so so fucking glad the crew stayed together. that was one of the things i was most worried about, but i'm glad that the found family got BIGGER!!! spanish jackie and auntie and zheng yi sao joining the revenge!!! the swede is back!!

•i'm so glad they got to retire to their inn omg. but babygirls please find out what that smell was

•buttons landing on izzy's grave. i'm not well

•the episode (and the season as a whole) was VERY rushed but i'm not surprised nor do i blame the crew. they worked with what max gave them and still managed to speedrun some of the best development and writing despite it. i might be biased bc of brainrot but truly the only complaint i have is the pacing which was entirely due to budget cuts and not the writing. if we could've gotten two more episodes i'm positive the pacing would've been so much better

•i like that there are still loose ends and conversations to be had and adventures to go on with the hopes of a renewal, but i also appreciate that they made the ending just satisfying enough that in case we don't get s3, we at least get the ending we got without a huge cliffhanger

#anyway it's 3 am and i'm a wreck actually #like. god. #ofmd #ofmd spoilers #ofmd season 2 spoilers

hey real quick bc i haven't seen anyone really talk about it; fuck Hoarders. what a disgusting fucking show. like i know a lotta content boils down to "let's gawk at mentally ill or poor or whatever ppl" but this one specifically really peels my paint. it's sickening. let's spend an hour walking around someone's house and going "wow!! look how fucked this is!!! i can't believe you live like this (despite having done like 13 seasons of this)!!!! you really need to get your act together, buster!" and then interviewing the family to get sound bites demonstrating how much of an Unreasonable Burden the subject is and (without actually helping any of the mental health issues that may lead someone to hoard) roll their eyes at them when they are upset at someone taking and trashing/destroying their precious belongings (or are made to do it themselves). and then half the time in the where are they now segment it's like "yeah they relapsed lol idk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯" like??? no shit dumbass.

i don't care how strange their homes or habits are. these people are deserving of compassion and real, honest help. they don't need people to marvel at how Kooky Wacky Bonkers™ they are, and they don't need people to hurt them just because they don't understand what they see in their possessions or are embarrassed by knowing them or whatever.

we don't need another voyeuristic savior-complex charade where the condition for The Most Half-Assed Help You've Ever Seen is being publicly humiliated and having to destroy things that mean a lot to you. what the fuck.

#a lotta these situations involve actual danger for the subject or their dependents so like getting rid of stuff is sometimes necessary #but just taking the rug out from under them without additional support isnt gonna help anyone longterm #and mocking them on national television certainly isnt either #like if someone's keeping dead cats in their freezer i feel like there are more constructive ways of dealing with that than 'lol' or #'youre a disgusting freak and we're gonna display that to everyone and also not help you fuck you etc' #like. god. #im not arguing the subjects are all saints or whatever either btw but they deserve to be treated like human beings #like?? forcing someone to destroy or throw out most of their posessions and mocking them for being emotional about it is cruel #it's no less cruel just because you dont get why theyre attached to those things #maybe it's even ESPECIALLY cruel because of the nature of hoarding #it's so dehumanizing #and idc if some of the subjects have been helped by being on hoarders. ppl could just help w/o mocking them and they could do a better job #if the show helps ppl it's on accident. the purpose is to watch and revel in it. in how stubborn and deluded people can be. in how much #better we are than them. in how just the hosts' disregard for their feelings is. etc. fucking repulsive #it's a dr phil situation imo #anyway my parents used to watch it a few years back and it's always bothered me that their chill sunday entertainment was. this shit. #and the subjects' faces when they see the cleared out house is almost always so.. strained. #i think it's a part of a broader problem with this kinda content and its fetishization of the reality check #to them the feelings of the deluded person don't matter because they annoy or inconvenience their peers #hence the 'i can't believe you care about this garbage' mentality of the show. even if that care comes from illness those feelings are real #so to force them through step 8 of a recovery process before steps 1-7 and then insult them for not recovering is just. god. #i hate it i hate it so much
