a female character isn't allowed to be a character that is also female. she isn't allowed her own agency and complex motives nor any deeper emotions without it being centered around the male cast around her or a child. even if she's not a mother, she remains one because she could always potentially become a mother or she is the ‘mom character’ to the men/children around her and her actions MUST reflect that. if they don't, she's labeled a selfish bitch. if she is an (actual) mother than that's all she is—she isnt allowed deeper characterization or discussion because thats all she'll ever be, that's all she was made to be. male characters are allowed to be fathers (lireral or in the sense of providing for the people around them) with deeper feelings but a mother? never a mother.

#← this is found in both fandom treatment and (oftenly) the writing of the source material too #anyways this related to last post and the one before that where i said i wrote tags that are just too sidetracked to the post lol #ransom note #cant wait for people to ummm actually me about good female characters while fully ignoring the point of this #like no shit its a broad statement dipshit its used to open discussion about female characters often being reduced down #to only having purpose in their ability to be a caretaker to the surrounding cast around them. #like the problem isnt that theres mom characters. it isnt women taking care of people or being healers #its that theyre not allowed the same emotional depth compared to many male characters #something i liked in atla if i recall correctly is that katara wasnt a passive character. she cared and cared deeply and messily #she chose forgiveness to her mother's killer for HER story and growth. not because she had to for his #she stole shit and got jealous and was angry but she was still caring and healed. she still looked after people. #instead of just. oh shes there to be a 24/7 doormat to the male cast around her and their goals instead #and the FANDOM is the one that reduces her down to a bitch or just immature or an emotional support lamp #or whatever they do to reduce her down usually so they can prop up the male characters they like more. #like do you see where im going with this. do you get the point of the post...

do you ever end up accidentally getting super attached to a trope so specific and rare you don't even know how to look for it? 'space aliens failing to understand that a human showing teeth usually isn't a threat display' isn't even an ao3 tag. finding that shit in published fiction or tv shows is next to impossible

#<- guy who searches ao3 by the 'misunderstandings' tag without even specifying a fandom #mumbling #if you've been following me for a while you may remember my introduction to mcyt was when i started scraping the bottom of the barrel #looking for 'humans are space orcs' stories #but what you may not know is that was already a ways down a rabbit hole that began with *avatar the last airbender* #it basically went #'holy shit salvage is a good story' -> read every existing version of hakoda being a good dad to zuko -> #'shinsou hitoshi getting adopted by aizawa has the same vibes fuck it i'll read that too' -> 'why are they aliens in so many of these' -> #get addicted to the 'humans are space orcs' trope -> find a whole collection of fics about that exact thing -> #for some reason the collection is 80% dsmp fics -> i am not picky -> 'oh no they've got a crow-coded father figure' -> #still not rly interested in the dsmp source material -> minecraft kinda interesting tho -> wait what's hermitcraft -> and now here we are #all bc 3 years ago i wanted zuko to have a decent father figure #firelord ozai made me draw pinup art of goodtimeswithscar: the true and harrowing tale of my descent into madness #flameo hotguy or whatever the kids are saying these days

i can have a normal day and suddenly at 3 AM while I wait for melatonin to kick in i get another epiphany but I'm also left groveling on the ground cause of said epiphany

THING #also?? right away it gets wrong who has the ice breath 😂😂 its BLOSSOM who can do ice breath and they make it BUBBLES instead #why? cause shes blue? or did they just not KNOW #they were like eh one of them has it doesnt matter who #also THEY TRIED TO GIVE UTONIUM A FIRST NAME....... #AND OF ALL THE NAMES THEY COULD HAVE CHOSEN #THEY WENT WITH /DRAKE?????/ #FUCKING DRAKE #my partner made a 'you used to call me on the hotline' joke 😂😂 #and OH MOJO JOJO IS A GUY??

i think having TF2 as a special interest really early in my childhood influenced so many things about myself and my identity.... my gender is big men my sexuality is big men and my sense of humour is big men. i even named myself after the "very tiny and scrawny but still big" big man and i think about all the big men in TF2 on a semi daily basis,,,,,, anyway yeah i like the men in TF2 :)

#tf2 #this post is nigh incomprehensible #this is the true effects of autism...... having such a big special interest that it literally influences half of your entire sense of self #i think this is why i feel gender euphoria playing crusty old source games #like i literally feel so connected to TF2 it's crazy #i'm currently listening to a TF2 YTPMV and have it in the corner of my screen and my brain is just going ''ahh... the song of my people'' #i look at scout tf2 and i go ''he is just like me!!!'' #man's got adhd and likes being an asshole to the other team on the battlefield and if that isn't relatable i don't know what is #i also occasionally play as engineer and i always put my sentries in the most bitchy spots ever #like you're taking a stroll over to the point and you're like ''oop. level 3 sentry that i can't get rid of because the fucker behind it- #-won't stop helicopter parenting it. welp.'' that's my gendar #scout main to engineer main redemption arc to scout main villain arc because my sentries kept exploding pipeline #that made absolutely zero sense. #i usually play on training mode because i'm too shy to play on casual again yet and let me tell you #the amount of times i've yelled at the engineer bots because they just won't build a damn dispenser next to their sentries is insane #like maintaining a sentry would be SO MUCH EASIER if you just built a dispenser nearby. like. #when you play engie you start to not even worry about your health anymore because you're too concerned with your metallic kids to care #it's like ''oh i'm at 2 hp. wow. OH SHIT MY SENTRY GOT HIT ONCE AND LOST A SINGLE BAR OF HP I NEED TO HEAL HIM!!!!! MY SON!!!' #and you never end up dead somehow because dispenser #and when you do die it's like torture looking at the spectating cam and seeing your sentry get shot at and not being there to help it #it's like ''nooo... my son.... please i need to heal my son..... i can't bare to watch'' #i should invest in a wrangler.... hmmmm...... #anyway this post is... so autism! it's great we love to see it! #autism #i'm very tired yet feel very energised.... i'm having a neurodivergent moment hang on #spy sappin my executive functioning #my brain is literally just 3 scouts and 2 engineers doing do si do with 'erectin a river' blasting really loud at the moment #YIPPEEKIYAHIYAAAAAHYKIYO - my brain when special interest

thinkin about how some of talias early appearances feel kinda. hot girl from highschool who everyone warns you about, "she's such a bitch, she thinks she's better than everyone else" but then u get assigned as her partner in a group project and she goes out of her way to help u with ur homework and the cons are just that she's kinda quirky and her dad sucks so u have to meet at ur place or the library.

#am i delusional or #also considering: autistic girl who never gets diagnosed bc shes 'too smart and pretty' #source: do u have any idea how many people respond to me saying i have autism with 'oh i dont think you have autism! youre so smart!' #NOT how that works holy shit lmao

Endlessly Funny

Some story: “And this character was sick, all the time. For years. You might even say chronically so. These are their symptoms. Oh look, the symptoms are flaring up again!”

People doing reviews, summaries, & commentaries online: “WHY IS THIS CHARACTER SO CASUAL ABOUT THEIR SYMPTOMS?! SHOULDN’T THEY BE FREAKING OUT RIGHT NOW?!?!”

#If I coughed blood on the reg for several years I too would be at most kinda annoyed when it happened again #Source: fainting spells & pain so extreme I literally cannot stay upright happening almost weekly since I was 16. #It’s not ‘’OH NO! EVERYTHING IS GOING DARK! CALL THE DOCTOR!’’ #It’s ‘’Goddam this shit again? Guess I’m laying on the floor for the foreseeable future. Ugh.’’ #// #chronic illness #chronic pain #disability visibility #tv tropes #mine #my life

day 3: unnecessarily complex fit

ii gotta be honest, they were originally gonna have two feet but then i couldn't figure out the perspective of their right one so i decided to just not draw it

#im aware that its the 13th but i wanted to draw this prompt.. and im like real happy with how this turned out.. #could not make myself do shadows because what the fuck are light sources even.. #and and i made a silly brush specifically just to use for the texture in this because i thought it would be funny.. #yeah and um dont ask the logic behind the color scheme.. i honestly dont think about that shit ever #i just pick colors and go with the flow. you will NOT catch me practicing color theory.. #and um yeah.. #oh once again i made the smallest things too detailed. so they stand out much more than they're supposed to.. #the nose piercing i was able to dial back. but the choker just is like that. and it stands out way too much.. #also really appriciate that the shorts look alright because i had no fucking clue what was going on there.. #i put off figuring them out for so long that they only made sense once i put the texture on them. which was like one of the last things.. #art #my art #cringetober 2023 #um #digital art #oh and the background was a total accident.. i had filled the characters surroundings with white to make sure none of my notes and shit wer #visible. and id forgotten about it.. so then when i changed the background color. it basically looked like that already. #i just tweaked it a bit.. #tbh im quite glad it happened so because ii struggle with balancing the background between too distracting and a void.. #the colors are so fucked for everyone else probably because ive fucked with my monitors gamma levels a lot #basically overall saturation is supposed to be higher. and mainly the dark green is supposed to be a bit more blue-ish..

Im still so upset abt my family pulling a Charlotte Lucas on me this weekend but like. It's fine. I am going to get So Buff so I don't have to hate having a soft "feminine" body and also so I'm strong enough to bear the weight of their Ongoing Disappointment (TM) about p much every single one of my life choices and also maybe my very existence

#franposting #im somehow so upset abt that #but also so happy bc im working out again and the weather is nice and i have recipes to make and fresh veg in the fridge #also im reading the gentleman's guide to vice and virtue as a completely self indulgent comfort read #and im just 🥺 #what if u were in love with ur best friend in the 1700s #and u were both boys #but also ur a little depressed and a little bit an alcoholic. and ur dad is a shitbag. #and also ur being chased by highwaymen on the grand tour of the continent. for funsies #literally. in love with ur best friend is such a good trope. making it sad queer 18th century is just. delicious #this shit HURTS and I'm actively crying #because all the bits with his dad are like. YEAH ME TOO. this is one of THE biggest sources of nightmares for me #i can never be free or honest!!! i simply make up excuses abt being single forever and ever #also bk2 is abt felicity and i love her. queen. truly. just wants to get a mans education and escape finishing school. icon #but yeah. this was supposed to be fun haha lil fluff romance with no stakes ol #just a distraction from my woes. and now im like. oh #oh shit we be in it now #dare i say..... sebastian flyte vibes of it all.... #softhearted fop alcoholic in love w ur best friend. rich brit. parent issues. really just need to love and be loved

[borderpolar]

#borderpolar speaks #actually neurodivergent #actually autistic #actually adhd #anyway as ive mentioned before my biggest special interest is succession and season 4 comes out on march 26th!!!!!! #and i cant wait to see all my favourite characters! im most excited to see kendall again my favourite poor little meow meow!!! #hell almost certainly cry again like he does every season and ill probably cry too tbh!!! #and then theres stewy and he got like 5 minutes of screen time or something in s3 #but arian moayed (who plays him) is like oh yeah theres gonna be much more stewy this season and there better be!!!! #he was so important to the plot of s1 and semi important to the plot of s2 so i hope hes a huge player this season #because its great to see him fuck shit up for the main characters (especially logan fuck that guy) #omggggg and tom and shivs marriage is on the rocks and that is going to be a HUGE source of tension that i cant wait to witness #even typing all this out is making me feel less upset because i love that show it makes me very happy!!!!!

[ghostmaggie]

people are totally free to have their opinions about stuff and to share them online (this is not groundbreaking and is meant sincerely) but i am thisclose to actively avoiding any discussion of the pjo show bc there's so much just straught blind negativity and it's bringing me way down

#i am so hashtag blessed to have curated a personal experience where i can acknowledge differences between show and source material #and even be like oh i wish xyz #without thinking the show sucks? #the show is great! i'm enjoying it! #haters gonna hate and that's fine but it's a no from me i don't handle negativity well #again no shade i know this is (to some extent) a me problem #but tearing down so vehemently just feels too much too far for me idk #pjo show #post #eta-- #like i don't even mean don't discuss things you didnt like #that doesnt bother me #like the crusty scene i think had way too little going on to the point where non book readers MUST have been lost #but people arent saying that #they're saying this show is shit burn it down i hate it #and im just like #what??

If I Don't Think About It Then It's Not Real

#leif muses #TOO MANY THINGS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW AND I DON'T LIKE ANY OF THEM #SEE ART OF CHARACTER ON DASH. GET IMMEDIATE VIBES DESPITE NOT BEING INTO IT OR KNOWING ANYTHING #LOOK UP CHARACTER AND FIND OUT I GOT KIN FEELS FROM HER ALREADY IN ANOTHER UNRELATED POST #START FIRST PERSONING HER WHILE READING HER ARTICLE #SEE POST ABOUT THE CHARACTER WHO CANONICALLY(?) GETS MARRIED TO ANOTHER CHARACTER IM KINSIDERING #AND IMMEDIATELY THINK “OH HAHA MY WIFE IS GREAT” #LOSE MY SHIT A LITTLE BIT. GO FACT CHECK ON THE WIKI TO TRY TO FIND OUT IF THEY'RE ACTUALLY MARRIED #FIRST PERSON HER SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PROCESS #AND I WAS SO SURE I WAS A DIFFERENT CHARACTER FROM THAT SOURCE WHICH MEANS I'M PROBABLY MORE THAN ONE #I AM NOT THINKING ABOUT ANY OF THIS RIGHT NOW I'M STILL TRYING TO PROCESS HERMANN

Unpopular fandom opinion but: "If it's not in the movie/book/show itself then it isn't canon, idc what the creator says!" is such a stupid af bullshit take lmfao.

#like not everything can be condensed into the source material like you'd like it to #it's such a backwards and limiting way of looking at media too #isn't it much more fun to look at the additional information/extra stuff revealed about the world and characters that the writers have #oh so lovingly provided for you? #if the creators say something then it IS canon #yes ik that not everybody has access to social media to find out information that wasn't revealed in the show #but that doesn't mean it's not canon just because not everybody sees it #i see so many people say stupid shit like 'if the creator actually cared enough about this detail then they'd put it in the story! therefor #it's not canon!' and while yes sometimes that may be true #other times it's not included simply because the creator couldn't find a way to include it or--depending on the medium--there was no way to #include it #and this is not me talking about 'x would not fucking say that' instances or justifying bad writing being covered up by going on twitter #but when creators reveal additional details about the characters or the world then idk why you'd want to pretend it's not canon or isn't #official just because it's not in the story #another stupid thing i see people say is 'those are just the creators headcanons' which is the stupidest and most pretentious thing in the #world #headcanons refer to what you think about OTHER PEOPLE'S characters that are not your own #you wouldn't call art a creator made of their own character 'fanart' an author's thoughts on their own characters is not a 'headcanon' #that is just so naive entitled and disrespectful #and people say this about author's interviews and the likes but like...what's the point of getting those interviews if you're not going to #take them as canon? #they add to the worldbuilding #that's the fun! that's the spice! that's the appeal! #come on now you guys i'm tired #fandom #my post
