my mother was a traditional christian woman that prayed a lot. she did catch a lot of things spiritually, but i wonder if she caught the moments when i was truly suicidal...

Another devastating song for queer people, ty Conan

#this song is 100% about growing up in a toxic religious household as a queer person and no one can convince me otherwise #conan gray #conehead #found heaven #jamie posts random stuff

thinking how a lot of a v specific archetype of self-dx autistics online act towards other autistics. i think its rly similar to how a v specific archetype of ppl, esp tme ppl, pick up another set of pronouns (solely online tho) then feel comfortable acting like theyre the high authority on transness and transphobia. like im not saying theyre not trans per se. im not even saying theyre "not autistic". but they loveeeee to speak over. idk how to say it. publicly trans ppl? (esp trans women) like ppl who are out n have transitioned or in the process of doing so bc um theyre litcherally also trans??? i think theres a clear line between "online trans" tme ppl who talk over trans ppl who experience transphobia, esp transmisogyny, in a "stronger" or more frequent or more impactful way than they do, and "online autistics" who make fun and belittle other autistics w different needs/behaviors than them

#n u know these ppl arent ''''closeted'''' 4 safety reasons #like living in a religious or otherwise conservative household/community #basically if u think trans women jokingly calling ppl 'theyfabs' is like the height of transphobia u need to get over urself #mine*

I've seen the same post a hundred times now. Sometimes it's a few days old, sometimes it's from years ago, but it's always the same. Some anti posts about how they don't understand how anyone can like Snape because he was so awful, and then there's a long reply that goes something like, "imagine this happens to you, and then this, and then this" to describe Snape's experience. Sometimes there's some James Potter hate thrown in.

Look. You can go through describing a character's entire experience but you don't really need to. Here's the thing that antis don't understand:

For all her faults (and they're big, bigoted ones) Rowling understood a really integral part of the human experience and conveyed it through Snape. Everyone needs love and to feel accepted. It's that simple. Snape became a Death Eater to seek acceptance (Rowling has confirmed this, though I can't remember the source - whoever wants to add it please do), because it was the only way he could find any.

Snape's understanding of morality, like everyone's, is subjective. Some readers understand this and some don't. When faced against a morality that says there is good and bad in the world, everyone makes choices based on their personal experience. Context is everything. Someone who experiences pain and suffering will not see the person inflicting it on them as moral. That's it. 'How can this person be good when they caused me so much suffering?' = human psychology. Most of the people who think 'I'm a bad person and deserve this' have been gaslit and abused into thinking so, because it's not a natural reaction - it's one that has to often be socialized into someone at a young age, exactly because it's not natural. Everyone is the hero of their own story; no one sees themselves as a villain, because they see the valid aspects of their own perspective.

You can write essays on how vulnerable people needing acceptance is what cults and fascists exploit to recruit vulnerable people, or on how the standard anti's un-nuanced reading of Snape both ignores canon and displays a disturbing lack of empathy or compassion, but at its core it just boils down to context. From Snape's perspective he experienced cruelty, therefore the people inflicting it must be cruel. Again, it's that simple. He was a person, like any other, except he was fictional so he wasn't even real. On the flip side is James Potter, who, for all his faults, didn't get to live long enough to get a chance to change and grow unlike Snape, and I think the Snapedom also needs to acknowledge that.

They're fictional characters representing things an author wants to say, not sports teams, not martyrs, and not all good or all bad emblems that define your identity depending on how you feel about them. It's depressing how much time is wasted arguing with bullies and trolls whether from the Marauders fandom or just random antis. I literally can't find more than three blogs to follow without this argument coming across my feed daily. I know the Snapedom is Not OK™ and that's kind why we're all here, and I know that my take is super unpopular but like Snape, I don't care what others think: this fandom has been having the exact same argument for years and nothing has changed. There's fanart and meta and fic and so much content out there appreciating this character, you're not going to change an anti's mind who's deliberately trolling in the tags, so why are you trying? What are you getting out of it? What does it give you? It's exhausting just scrolling past it.

#The thing about morality is that it's subjective #the religious leader who's a beacon of moral purity to their congregation #is a source of selfishness and pain to someone they abuse in secret #is that abuse victim immoral for rejecting the values the religious leader represents? #the congregation might think so because their definition of morality relies on the religious leader being a moral guide #the victim might not think so though because how can something be righteous if it causes suffering #look this is just an example of how perspectives can vary and I know there are more possible takes on that example #my point is that the idea that there's no clear 'good' and 'evil' there's only power/what you do with it is actually how psychology works #'good' to one person can be pain to another #'scourgify' is an innocuous household spell that cleans stains until it's used to waterboard someone #context matters more than labels like 'light' and 'dark' magic

every day i can't walk 3 meters online without tripping over a queer white kid who grew up in a repressive religious household and yet somehow "parents should monitor their kids' activity online for safety!" is way too fucking prevalent as an argument. something's not adding up. fucking THINK

#rambles #im not white or religious but i AM queer and grew up in a conservative household #and 14 y/o me getting her internet monitored while shakily looking at girls kissing is the kind of image that populates my nightmares

#im going to have another huge fight with my mother over sunday school #when i think about it this household contains perhaps the most religious people i have ever seen #and also me #anyway does anyone have weapons

Finally started listening to Epic the Musical and was wondering why I hadn’t listened to it before. Then I got to the middle of the second song and could already feel the obsession setting in, and remembered that I avoided it because I knew I didn’t have time for a new Thing. Oh well, too late now.

#the religious people out there should probably start praying for the rest of my household now #this is the only music I will be playing for the foreseeable future #epic the musical #classics stuff #homeric things #neurodivergent things #local queer classicist posts

Hellos there! I wasn’t originally sure if I wanted to make this request since I don’t think you were clear on what you are and aren’t cool with (I.e. Smut) but I saw you toss it’s around and write snippets of it, so I thought, couldn’t hurt. (But it if does, you can always ignore this—! Your choice!) So.. is there’s a possible chance to get some Daitou smut……….? 😏 We’ve had some Daitou loving hours, we’re I’m in need of some Daitou fucking hours—

The reason I don’t include smut in the requests is because my ability to write it is entirely and completely out of my control. You’ll notice the more explicit works show up in clusters once or twice a month at most. Outside of that I cannot conjure the words to save my life, so I don’t want to make false promises to discover I can’t come up with anything afterwards. That’s all there is to it. ^^”

That being said, I still have that December request featuring both Kazuya and Daitou, and I’ve been thinking of turning it into a Valentine’s Day special. This way I have enough margin of error to await the sporadic lewd calls. So yeah, there will be a smuttier spinoff coming up soon. May the 🍆 force be with me.

Are we gonna talk about the fact that the way his Spector manifested probably means Pluto committed suicide?

#tw su1cide #tw self h4rm #he definitely gives me mentally ill queer kid raised in an oppressive religious household vibes #i cant believe no one in the *comic* points this out #needs to be wrapped in warm blankets and given hot chocolate #nevermore webcomic #pluto nevermore #nevermore

Looking back at Girl Meets World, it will forever irritate me especially for how they handled/treated Angela. Oh this show really hated black women because how do you not only 1.) describe her, one of (correct me if I'm wrong) only few black and MAIN characters of the og show, as a "concept" 2.) have characters show obvious disgust at the small mention of her name 3.) depict her as a homewrecker for a new relationship that, really, shouldn't have ever happened 4.) have her old friends treat her like dirt and her old lover like she is the root of his problems, when there was nothing but positive love there 5.) reuse all the concepts from said previous love story just to elevate the new ship with a yte woman and 6.) compare her to Hurricane Katrina, one of the deadliest hurricanes that caused significant numbers of death, harm, misplacement, and trauma to people, largely of whom were black? Mind you, all these points I mentioned were toward the only main black character of the OG show before the spinoff, and the only, from what I can remember, black female character of the spinoff who didn't even stay long. Not even getting into the racist drama with some of the members on set, but you cannot look me in the eye and tell me that the way the show handled Angela, her story, and her relationship with the other characters + Shawn wasn't fucking disrespectful, you can't because I won't believe you.

#boy meets world #girl meets world #like this show had so many issues (from its depiction of autism to religious intolerance to supporting grooming) #but this was a whole other level #it was especially hurtful as a young black girl to see growing bc i really tried to like this show with its lacking diversity #but coming from watching bmw to this a show from the 90s that depicted a black character better than a 2010s show- u get my point #and its so wrong bc it depicts angela as being the one to end the relationship when all she said in bmw how she #didn't want to see her leaving as a goodbye and there was ambiguous hope for the future #also shoving shawn to be with maya's mom was really unnecessary #not only bc of how it depicted being raised in a single parent household so negatively #but that the only way to solve maya's problems was for her...to have a dad? like that really isn't how it works #i blissfully live in the delulu where angela and shawn came back together once she left europe and he eventually married her #after they graduated college and have a beautiful family together #shawn x angela #don't even get me started on how whenever there was a guest cameo it was met audience applause and happy reactions #but when it was for angela: crickets 😬 #back to maya- i feel like it would have been better for her story if shawn didn't marry her mother (and was with angela) and u would see her #hope and wish for the opposite to where it nearly consumes her only to finally be sat down and informed that #even if shawn isn't with your mom he'll still be in your life as a father figure no matter what #i personally feel like that would've been better #but this is largely just s rant so forgive the structure of it al

The Heir of Redclyffe is teaching me that what Little Women really needed was for the March sisters to have a clever, witty, sharp-tongued, disabled brother who was BFFs with Laurie.

#charles edmonstone my beloved #he's so much fun #and his friendship with guy is one of the best parts of the book #i'm shocked to see a victorian book where the disabled person is neither a monster nor a saint #the disability affects his life and the household but it's far from the only thing about him #he's a great character in his own right #he even has a plot-relevant illness #but the plot relevance isn't 'oh no he's near death let's have drama' #but 'he's having a flareup and can't write letters so someone loses a vital correspondant at an unfortunate moment' #(charles does later lampshade the lost opportunity for a dramatic deathbed reconciliation scene) #but anyway despite my continued comparisons of this book and little women #they are different books #aside from the laurie thing and the general family atmosphere and the moralizing mother figure there's quite a lot different #for one thing the male characters are much more interesting than most of the female ones #the girls are fine but certainly not the main draw of the story #i do like the religious aspect of this one more though #at first it was giving me anxiety cuz they agonize over teeny little sins #but once we moved from childish concerns to more adult ones the faith aspect became much deeper #still clunky and eye-rolling at times but also surprisingly natural in some places #and i'm still holding my breath for whatever made jo cry over this book #66% through the book; it's gotta be coming relatively soon #books #the heir of redclyffe #little women #charlotte mary yonge #louisa may alcott

based on the mixed responses to the princesses’ motivations i think you’re most likely to empathize/sympathize with them if you were suicidal and/or raised as a woman

#bonus points if you grew up very religious or in a household with very firm gender roles #dimension 20 #neverafter #potential #tw suicide mention #i guess?? idk
