I have officially hit a "too stressed to write" state of affairs that I suspect will last until this Sunday. Kinda hoping folks aren't too disappointed in the sudden change in regular update schedule - sorry. :(

#personal #if anyone ever asks me to be in a wedding party again I'm just going to tell them to get the fuck out of my house at gunpoint #normally I wouldn't feel bad about taking a writing break but I don't like leaving chapters hanging orz #but we're at “creative juices dead and also having stress nightmares” which funnily enough are my two major flags #for “hey bellamy! you are stressed!” for when I gaslight myself into forgetting that I am indeed capable of being stressed #at least my stress is on a schedule sigh #at least this particular aspect of it which is tipping things over into “too much” #dear diary #you know what i DO have spoons for however?? #binge watching the handmaid's tale #boy does THAT put some perspective on how nice my life is lmaooooo

David Bowie’s “The Man Who Sold The World” is so Arcade Gannon and Legion alligned courier

#but like specifically if the legion courier didn’t sell arcade and also didn’t tell the companions what was happening until it was too late #for them to change it or fight back #I love legion alligned couriers #that section of the handmaids tale talking about betrayal whej murdering the cat is so companions #obligatory zephyr tag since this is also her and Boone #fallout new vegas #fallout nv #courier six #arcade gannon #arcade israel gannon #arcade fnv #fnv arcade #caesar’s legion

If season 6 of The Handmaid's Tale isn't Osblaine and Janine wrecking shit and burning down Gilead together, I don't want it.

Not to be completely unhinged in this post rn but while I cannot lie about liking some aspects of omegaverse shit I've never been able to really enjoy the full on "omegaverse" because of the weirdly manufactured like. Oppression??? Like the sociostructual aspects of it make me so uncomfortable lmfao. I have to experience and bear witness to so much casual oppression and discrimination based on non-controllable factors in my daily life and it makes me so upset and exhausted enough, I don't wanna see it IN MY PORN?????

Why can't I just read about men fucking sloppy and getting pregnant and mating for life and shit without having to think about one of them getting. Denied job opportunities lmfao. I went more in detail in the tags I'm just. Oof.

#this is not meant to shade anyone who like writing or reading that aspect of omegaverse it just makes me personally uncomfy #one of the reasons I like some omegaverse stuff is I have very visceral thoughts and feelings about pregnancy as a womb-haver #especially as it relates to oppression and like. the human body. its not the best mindset to have #and seeing cis? men (are omegas cis men or something else entirely) being pregnant helps unpack that idk #BUT NOT WHEN YOU ADD HANDMAIDS TALE LEVELS OF OPPRESSION #idk that just makes me uncomfortable all over again also I use the term womb-haver to refer to myself in a silly way bc I am not a woman #I am in no way trying to reduce mothers or anyone else to their body parts in fact. that is the very same #uncomfiness I associate with pregnancy. I fear being reduced to my parts #cw omegaverse #omegaverse #fanfic

#bc like idk #1) how would they choose which vaskian baby #bc halvik ain’t giving them all up #2) i feel like damen would not approve of that #3) idk how it would work out so it wouldn’t be handmaid’s tale-ish #i suppose they wouldn’t really care about that back then tho??? so i guess it’s a possibility #captive prince

I don't mean to constantly compare June/Nick/Luke to Katniss/Peeta/Gale but oh... the similarities...

#osblaine #nick x june #the handmaid's tale #pegs.text #key differences obviously #the similarities are a lot #I could seriously write an essay about this

I feel like we don't talk enough about the fact that the creators of The Handmaid's Tale chose Elizabeth Moss as the main character. A woman who is a part of a cult with a DOCUMENTED AND PROVEN HISTORY of child abuse, sexual assault and rape, assault and battery, negligence, manslaughter, elder abuse, physical and mental torture, INFILTRATING THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT, money laundering, tax evasion, tampering with evidence, stalking and harassment, and so much fucking more.

Like, they did that. They cast a woman who is already in a brainwashing cult to star as a woman held captive in a cult of personality and dictatorship.

I know people talk about it and did while the show was actively running, but I feel like Elizabeth Moss really got away with making money off of a television show depicting the same type of abuses as the "religion" she is willingly a part of.

#and i dont want to hear a goddamn word about 'oh but it was her parents who got her into it' #she isnt a child and she has access to all the evidence she needs #she is more free than like 99% of all other scientologists and her silence is a defense of the cult #scientology #the handmaid's tale #tht #thmt #elizabeth moss

As a note to that last post: my state, once super red, and a swing state as recently as 15 years ago, is now so blue that the last Republican to hold any kind of significant statewide office (which was uh, the at-large regent on the state university board of governors) lost it in 2022. Not coincidentally, we now have constitutionally protected abortion rights, are a safe haven state in a conservative region, legal weed, explicit LGBT protections with a raft of more laws planned in this legislative session, etc. Etc.

Vote for Democrats 2kalways.

#hilary for ts #politics for ts #i have lived in a very very red trumptown part of this state so uh it is not the case everywhere #but i am now in the big deep blue city and it is nice that i don't have to worry about things suddenly turning into the handmaid's tale #as is uh often the fucking case elsewhere right now #we need to address cost of living and some other stuff but yeah it's nice here since we kicked the fascists out of power

“You built this whole world so you could have SOMETHING and it didn’t work…”//“You seek not to free yourself but to create a window into the wall of your prison”

I made an edit because one day I’ll probably write a PhD thesis length analysis of the parallels between Serena Joy and Alicent and how Alicent could’ve been both an iconic sympathetic villain and a blueprint for female antagonist to rival even Serena if the show wasn’t so obsessed with justifying her

#house of the dragon #hotd #the handmaid's tale #anti house of the dragon #anti hotd #alicent hightower #serena joy #tht #edit #hotd edit #tht edit #DNI unless you’re interested in talking about Alicent as a sympathetic villain #Cannot stress this enough if you see this and get up in arms just walk away #That being said I am legitimately obsessed with their parallels #And love Alicent so much as an antagonist #I love this character not in a she’s never done anything wrong way but in a her psychology is so goddamn weird and complex way #In a I need to study her in a test tube way

Actually, one of my takeaways from The Handmaid's Tale? Women will oppress women as much as (if not more than) men do, if/when given the chance.
