#to reinforce and protect

[fellhellion]

the USAmerican centric views on this site regarding protesting the genocide in Gaza are just astounding at times. Do y’all hear urselves when you say “they’re bombing Gaza during the Super Bowl to distract Americans from protesting!!”.

#THE WORLD DOES NOT REVOLVE AROUND YOU #the fact that the western world carries on while genocide happens IS indicative of the political and economic interests those powers stand #to reinforce and protect #but to claim the Israeli government is sitting around going man we gotta time our next bombardment for when the USAmerican citizens are too #busy watching baseball is not only bordering on conspiracy but an INSANELY USAmerican centric view of the world my fucking god

nonbinary helsknight is so funny to me. i think that welsknight was their trans awakening not in a gender envy way but in a “whatever gender this guy is i am Not that one” way

CANON

Helsknight popped into the world and said, "You know what? No, actually." His first decision for himself was gender, his next decision was to fight Wels, the rest is history--

#gumy-shark #rns asks #nonbinary helsknight #i feel like if we really wanted to dig into this i could make some fun chivalry statements about all this #a knight who's ideal knight is someone to transitioned from female to Not Female anymore #poetic chivalry as acts of service to women #how they were treated as high tower objects and never given their own agency #how in chivalric tales it was always a Male Knight trying to get a Woman's attention protecting her honor pursuing her virtuously #a knight cant be a woman and Wels cant be trans except Helsknight is #in a way that implies choosing something against a set of rigid roles instilled at birth #roles that wouldve been reinforced by poetic chivaly you see my vision #im on my hands and knees Helsknight is sooooo trans coded oh my god

Bro I hate fundamentalists and culturally-fundie parents they'll say shit like "spare the rod spoil the child am I right haha yea my parents used to have to beat my ass with a switch almost everyday but I sure did learn my lesson" but like??? no you didn't??? you were hit multiple times for something you very obviously did not, in fact, learn

Like studies about how harmful even lightly spanking children is aside, you're literally contradicting yourself?? Some even admitted they got worse as they got older cause they wanted to see how far they could push their parents before they got punished

And studies not aside, you're gonna get child raising advice from the same book that tells you to stone your wife if her hymen doesn't break on your wedding night instead of the decades of research we have now?? Just say you're a bad parent and move on my guy. Skill issue

#bro I had a coworker go 'unpopular opinion I think some kids really do need beatings' and I'm like???? #unprompted???? what's going on there???? #well anyways I ended up going 'yea so I plan on specializing in play therapy with autistic children so I've been learning about talking #to children and the ways their parents and environment affects them' #and they're like hmmm but beating this kid with a stick after they broke something or I upset them to the point of yelling is good actually #had a boss say it taught him and his kids respect cause they were hard-headed #and I'm like?? that's fear not respect! they fear punishment! they do not act out of respect for you! #he's a conservative christian black man tho so he's like 'But Authority!' like bro I don't even respect you what are you on about #'You don't respect police and their authority?' Nope! I fear them! I do not respect cops and every cop/cop-adjacent person I personally know #has reinforced that for me #'We'll agree to disagree' Cool! Doesn't mean you're not wrong! I could believe trees aren't real but that is in fact incorrect #then he pulled out the bible verse and I was like ah okay I forgot you like 'here's how to treat slaves' book you're so right bestie #I'm totally wrong now and so sorry for doubting you and your 2000+ year old book I don't believe in <3 #They'd go 'well I turned out fine!' then say something that directly contradicts that #anyways I need christians to get their grubby little hands off the current state of Child Protection and Rights in the U.S. #So we can actually start working on helping kids without the force of christian hands suffocating them #cause homeschooling and child raising by evangelicals are so fucked up bro I'm tired of this shit #I'd only stay in my current state to help children get out of that cycle since I'm in the bible belt #ex christian #religious trauma #child abuse tw

so i missed rinharu but had no time to rewatch the franchise or final stroke movies.

luckily for my depraved ass, someone compiled all the rinharu scenes from both the final stroke movies and i watched it, only to notice so much shit that i didn't notice the first time i watched the last two movies.

so many of rin's—yes, specifically rin's—lines in the movies point at something brewing deeper than the surface.

him constantly pointing out that his relationship with haru "isn't that simple" when asked about it by ikuya or anyone else,

him fighting with azuma and azuma practically screaming in his face to get his shit together if he really cares about haru that much,

both haru and rin constantly thinking back on how they both needed each other to get to where they are,

all the scenes of rin's reflection in haru's eyes,

haru looking so depressed while sousuke is driving him around in his car (and haru's weak "i hope so" after sousuke tells him he and rin will be fine),

rin being so worried about his relationship with haru and asking asahi if haru really would ask about him if haru knew rin was hurting like this,

rin's monologue where he goes, "that's right. i'm always selfish. i pretend i don't notice how you feel. i took advantage of your strength" as he runs through the city desperately searching for haru (where there's also rinharu-centric flashbacks, in particular that scene from the special ES episode where both the samezuka and iwatobi teams are drying their clothes over a bonfire, rin is laughing and haru looks at him gently, smiling—yes, this confirms that it was rin haru had been looking at; not anyone else like people were insisting)

...and so much more.

what does all of this insinuate? you be the judge.

#free! #rinharu #free! the final stroke #i am so so so protective of these boys i can't #thank you to the maker of this video because it really made me notice so many things i didn't truly notice before #there were so many details in the movie that reinforced just how much rin and haru meant to each other #and they KNEW it #both of them knew it #both of them felt it #especially rin #his dialogue is so hard to misinterpret because his words are SO CLEAR #even my partner who watched the final movies with me and didn't know anything about free! prior was like... 'are rin and haru... in love?' #Youtube

yall are willing to die for trans women and not trans men and we should talk about it actually

#transandrophobia #you'll do anything to protect trans women but dont have that same energy for trans men. interesting. #anyways i think the reason this is is bc ppl like this think bc we're men we dont need to be helped or protected #that somehow we should have figured out how to do this on our own. that we dont need community bc we're already solid and tough enough #which is weird like. how are you trans friendly but then you dont do any other basic progressive shit like #getting rid of gender roles entirely instead of now instead applying them to trans people also? ?? #like you dont get to be all 'men should express their emotions and be vulnerable' and then reinforce the traditional gender roles on- #trans men still. like have you or havent you decondtructed that shit in your head or did you iust see someone reblog something that seema #correct w/o even doing any critical thinking or self reflecting or anything on your end at all #i didnt suddenly become made of rock and become invulnerable when i transitioned. bc that narrative for men in general is inaccurate- #and harmful. and even if i did become super buff and capable of mowing down my enemies that wouldnt mean i dont suddenly need community #that doesnt mean i become immune to bullets or that i dont need a space to express my emotions regarding being trans n shit #like yall really just want to leave us out here to die it seems like. we have nowhere to go. no real community bc yall wont give us the #time of day or compassion or anything. you think 'men bad' and thats the deepest your political analysis goes as far as im concerned. #and if thats the case how much better are you than a terf who just decided they were 'okay' with trans women? #p sure this post was inspired from a trans guy literally being a meat shield for other trans ppl and no one gave a fuck.

"online spaces seem to define lesbianism as a hatred for men rather than a love for women" fuck yeah man and it's so fucking tiring. Isn't bioessentialism exhausting-

"so it really annoys me when people can't separate men from lesbians entirely. Like if I see another 'this male character is a he/him lesbian' post I'm gonna kms" oh! Ok you're insane.

#this is beat for beat a post i had to see with my own eyes not too long ago #congratulations you really do hate men still and its just repackaged as 'protecting the lesbian community' #i didnt even check if op was a terf i just fucking blocked them and moved on bc at this point. walks like a duck etc #like some of u guys really need to learn that radfem ideology is bioessentialist nonsense about vitriolic hate for all men #or those perceived as men #and not to be a 'not all men' truther but u need to watch yourself. are you complaining about the patriarchy #or just reinforcing that toxic masculinity is an inherit genetic trait rather than learned behavior #again i will sound pedantic. but if i must say it i will say it. this isnt misandry sis its walking a tightrope over a tar pit of lies. #mspec gay #mspec lesbian #lesbiogay #bi gay

Worst part about the whole “get a job” solution to financial abuse is that like survival doesn’t feel tangible because it’s not even true for people who aren’t being abused like I’m sorry getting a job at subway just isn’t sustainable we all know this but why is that acceptable to to people who are being abused it just seems like a way to blame them for not leaving their abuser. It’s such a vicious act of victim blaming and attaches such an unnecessary amount of guilt to an already difficult situation

#I think space and also a sense of strong support +!reinforcing a protective community is all I can offer #but personally am stuck in like well how can you help in more tangible ways and I’m really thinking u can’t #abuse tw

god. philip is such a little shit in my little lamb au. "no greater responsibility than being an older brother" caleb is rolling around on the fucking table he's on right now. the table YOU keep him on. you little fucker.

#krav talks #he is currently living vicariously thru a weird 5 year old and a clone of his dead brother #by reinforcing the idea that the most important person in the clone's life is and always will be his little sister and he has to protect he #belos: surely history wont repeat itself & hunter will stay here with luz forever and not betray her for some random witch. #luz: *is the one who runs away from home bcus a clawthorne showed her a cool bird and some magic* #belos: god. fucking damnit #little lamb au

I wish we knew more about the timeline of Diane. Like, we can assume Beth's Rick left around the time C-137 lost his family but a long time had to have passed before she was erased because I doubt Beth became an orphan at a young age.

I know not all universes exist in the same year so maybe Beth's Diane died from old age before all versions got erased. Or maybe she got erased and Beth just assumed she passed away? I wish we knew more about Beth's relationship with her mom in general.

I 100% agree anon, I’d love to know more about Beth’s childhood so much. I assume Diane is erased around the time Beth gets pregnant and starts her life with Jerry (so like 16/17) and it’s also super interesting that Prime walks out on his family for good around when she’s like Morty’s age (I need to know more about him as a dad as well tbh)

But yeah, Beth’s childhood is definitely the most interesting unexplored detail of the show and Diane is definitely more interesting narratively to me as Beth’s mom opposed to as Rick’s wife

#like I get why Diane was like that in the ep but it’s not good enough for me lmao #also it’s so interesting how Morty thinks of her as Rick’s wife but not grandma #like in the d&d movie they make a clear distinction between a guy’s wife and a child’s mother #and I just wish Diane got to exist narratively as the latter opposed to the former #Rick and morty #Diane Sanchez #Rick Sanchez #Beth Sanchez #Beth smith #asks #like I know I am a delusional Beth stan but sometimes Rick doesn’t even narratively exist as her dad and it’s so ????? #also Rick’s crybaby backstory is so heavily focused on his dead wife (as reinforced by Morty in this ep) #it makes it seem like Beth doesn’t matter like if just she died he wouldn’t even care and that’s so :/ #like even with Diane in the ep we see that her Rick is dying and protected her and brought her to the smiths and yet ??? no Beth ??? #she just dies and they’re like oh well anyway

"why does miguel purport two contradictory understandings of the canon framework" <- idealogical doublebind anchored by guilt.

also, important to remember the context of the second understanding (miles is an anomaly that can therefore can only cause harm) only appearing when miguel has emotionally cracked. all his supppressed doubt abt his path surfaces in a moment of high emotional tension and so he tries to cram his understanding of miles back into that framework from the opposite direction (no longer spiderman, instead as an outlier beyond it's boundaries: an anomaly), even though it cannot work. because miles' very presence is a beacon of doubt that he's accidentally doomed people all over again, and he's terrified he's done so.

#i feel like. analysis of miguel would benefit a lot from examining his actions with the question of 'why does this character suppress doubt' #in mind. as well as thinking about WHEN he purports certain views when the context clues to this character reinforce his sincere desire to #protect people from harm. #theres also something AGAIN surfacing imo about how miguel conceptualises his own spiderman identity given he still seems to be an #engineered spiderman and miles mirrors him in this not seemingly being Ordained by the canon. but thats speculation rn and we don't have #the info to actually. posit concrete analysis. but yeah one of the things i think people are getting tripped up by w miguel. is assuming he #is consciously considering both incompatible concepts simultaneously. when i think - given WHEN the second one surfaces and miguel's guilt #doublebind AND the tonal presentation of his breakdown - this makes the most sense to be something he's repressing. #tunes talks spiderverse

[dennisboobs]

ok at the point now where looking at an image of dennis makes me want to smash my head through a wall

#ada speaks #idk how ppl exist in this fandom who don't feel bad for him tbh #which is the last thing den wants bc being perceived as weak and pitiable is devastating to him but #chasing this mfer down to give him a hug #he is so. fucked up. he has been fucked up by every adult in his life. #i think the fandom perceives him as this spoiled rich kid who had it better than most of the gang but the reality is #he was failed just like the rest of them and it's almost worse because he doesn't – and almost CAN'T – recognize this #letting the protective ego-boosting and boasting drop leads to him having to confront SO much baggage and i don't think he is mentally able #i think he DOES know deep down that everything is a lie and he has been hurt because we see that self awareness in ptsdee and tends bar #but his relationship with everyone in the gang is so strained that i don't think he would be able to have a moment like charlie did in s15 #even in tends bar there's a moment where they all recognize something is going on with him but immediately place him at the center #because he's the problem with him. anything done to him is his fault. it's not only something he reinforces. the gang does too #this must be because *dennis* has no feelings and he hates valentines day because everyone else is unlike him which makes *him* mad #the entire gang has an issue placing blame on themselves but to not even be able to conceive of dennis being hurt by them is. telling #because he's inhuman to them. it's how he's propped himself up and yet simultaneously hopes that they will see through that act #the way he reworks things in his mind so that everything is a consequence of his grand plan #means that he is always at fault regardless of whether he brushes the blame off #so he is not a *victim* of anyone else. because this was all under his control. he wasn't raped because he was initiating it. #klinsky was His Conquest. he was fourteen and she was in her fifties but he forced himself on her so that makes it His Fault. #it was a two way road. he's fourteen. and he 'entered' her. he's fourteen. but she was uncomfortable with his advances. but he was fourteen #cw csa mention

"We should respect trans mascs and butches because they protect us at pride"

So I get what you're doing with trying to argue against the anti-masculinity crowd and trying to say that trans mascs and butches are an important part of pride as a way to emphasize our place in the community

But...

Why us?

Why are we disposable? Why are we not worthy of protection?

When are you going to protect us, too?

#'mascs do the protecting but i prommie its because im woke and not bc i love to reinforce gender norms that posit men as the protectors of #femininity'. #also i wanna say something similar about how ppl sometimes treat trans poc like this #like we are valuable not as people but as battering rams as bodies for white protection #but my thoughts are too messy rn to form the post well #goddd and how ppl treat butches is so fucked up. #i understand that butch lesbians roles are traditionally understood as being protectors but like #when are you going to protect butches? when are you going to get in someones face to protect them? how do you think disabled butches feel? #just... i feel like. ppl forget that feminity can also be weaponised in a good way #(not that you HAVE to weaponise femin. in order to protect mascs for any reason) #but like. im a 5'3 small femme. i very easily pass as an upper middle class woman. #i may be black/mixed but i have a mediumish skin tone and i live in canada #i absolutely have the power to step in front of someone and raise my voice in feminine indignation #what are you gonna do? hit me? youre gonna hit a tiny 5'3 'woman' in a skirt that has kitties on it? #the idea of feminine people as weak can cone in handy! because esp large men know they WILL face social consequences for hurting ppl #like me. #especially if i start crying. #itd be more effective if a white person did it but i have that power too
