A Quick(-ish) Word on Gabe Ugliano
BTW spoilers for the PJO books and the series. Tw for mentions of abuse and domestic violence.
We all hate Gabe.
This is something universally agreed upon.
He's a fundamentally bad person in both mediums: book and show.
HOWEVER, I personally believe that Gabe Ugliano in the show isn't being set up to be as much of a hated character. Of course he's still abusive and terrible. Sally Jackson should get a divorce and ditch him.
But I don't think this show is making him seem terrible enough to turn to stone (essentially a kind of murder). In the books, this is how Sally finally finds her agency, her way out from under the thumbs of the men who have been the center of her lives, from her ailing brother to Gabe.
In the show, this seems like too harsh a punishment. The show has a couple precious minutes to convince me that I detest Gabe. Of course, this is only the tip of the iceberg. But Show Gabe has to evoke the same feelings as me as Book Gabe did, which is even harder, because I'm not in Percy's head.
And there are a couple details either added in or removed by the show which could help cement this.
First off, in the books, we first meet Gabe as he plays poker, completely unashamed. He demands money from Percy and we're like, 'this is a bad dude'. In the show, he knows it's vaguely shameful that he's playing online poker, and he's not sniffing out money like a basset hound (another negative character trait only seen in the books).
Second, the Knicks games. I know, I know. This seems stupid. But Sally brings up a pastime that she and Gabe share enough to be considered a habit, and not because she's being coerced into doing it or whatever. Sally chooses, of her own free will, to spend time with Gabe. You get the feeling, in the books, she'd rather pack herself and Percy off to Pluto on a deserted spacecraft than stay one more second there, but she remains out of love for Percy. Now, I understand that being a victim of domestic violence is an extremely complicated, terrible situation that I can't even begin to fathom. But the thing is, in the books, Sally chooses to marry this terrible scum of a guy because he smells like any old terrible scum of a guy. His utter sliminess makes him the perfect cover for Percy's emerging power. She hates Gabe with a passion in the books. We get this feeling less in the movie.
And finally, "Don't scratch it up". This shows Gabe distrusts Percy and Sally and jumps to blame them, especially Percy, for anything wrong. he values material possessions over being kind to his wife and stepson. It also reasserts control over them, even when they aren't physically at home. It's his car. His control.
This whole post probably seems really nitpicky, but the thing is, this show has to be down-to-the-detail on Gabe. They only get 8 episodes to tell us the story, and very limited time spent on Gabe. They have to convince us all that he deserved to be turned to stone by Medusa. And that was a very powerful moment for Sally Jackson, and when both she and Percy realized that they could survive together. This show also has to convince new fans, who may never have even read the books, that Gabe's fate is completely deserved.

tw: Shubble situation.
Tumblr media
I want to make it clear that I stand with shubble. if you support Wilbur/LoveJoy in ANY capacity you are not welcome here. Domestic Violence is nothing to joke about. it is nothing to brush over, and people who support Wilbur after this are supporting DV.
Please make sure to show some love to Shubble on her yt and twitch and any other place you can find her!! yes Wilbur needs to be deplatfored but we need to focus on giving her (shubble) support through this. Her strength and courage throughout all of this is amazing and putting her abuse out there on the internet was probably terrifying. make sure if you are making a video on this that you make sure to center it around Shubble. She is the one who needs support. She is the person who went through this. She is the one who spoke up. stop making this about Wilbur. I promise the internet will do what it does best and get him removed. for now Shubble needs the spotlight. please, please give her the time she needs to recover.
also, give people who were close to Wilbur a minute to breathe. they found out at the same time as the rest of us what was going on. they thought they could trust this person and that got rug pulled. they don't need to make a big response, just enough to state they don't support him. they have their own life, they are real people, give them a minute to process wtf just happend. they don't have all the answers and they don't know how to deal with this like the rest of us.
give everyone some time.
much love

TW: Domestic Violence, Relationship Abuse
One of the reasons Jopper is like my favorite Stranger Things ship is because Joyce is heavily implied to be a DV survivor and is explicitly a survivor of Relationship abuse. One of the main things abusers tell their victims is no one will ever love them again. So the fact that a 40+ divorced single mom whose working class in the 80s could find a man who loves and respects her and wants to make sure she feels safe and cared for and openly values her autonomy and opinions is actually so sweet and amazing. Dear DV and relationship abuse survivors you can and will find love again. Real love. Love that makes you feel alive and respected and free to be yourself and euphoric and overjoyed. No matter who you are. I promise.

agree with you 100% about ted not confronting jamie’s dad in the season 1 finale. narratively, it makes sense, because like you said: jamie is always going to end up in manchester alone after that night. and we see that ted is still thinking about jamie in the locker room speech when he mentions “…being alone and sad. ain’t no one in this room alone” or something like that. but the truth is that jamie is alone, and even though ted’s new to premier league football, he’s probably had his fair share of dealing with aggressive parents while coaching american college football. ted knows he’ll make it worse for jamie if he steps in, but still, they see each other. and maybe a small part of jamie wants ted to storm in there, but what are the chances this is the very first time someone’s witnessed jamie being abused? jamie’s face is so interesting during the scene, and it seems like he already knows ted won’t do anything. and he looks almost resigned to his fate. the crown and anchor speech was still a bit odd to me though. i don’t like how ted implies jamie’s tough dad made him a better player, but then again, ted’s own issues seem to always muddle his view of jamie.
sorry for rambling! the ted lasso brain rot won’t leave
Yes, exactly, Ted is definitely moved by what he witnessed. His speech and his note to Jamie with the Army guy show it. Which is why the next time we see them together it’s so baffling that Ted gives the “tough Dads” speech. We know Jamie’s Dad was abusive, and Ted, for whatever reason, can’t see that. (I’m sure Doctor Sharon would have a lot to say on the matter).
I don’t like how Ted implies it either. But, did you watch the David Beckham documentary? There’s a moment where he talks about all the hatred he received post World Cup and how he could handle it because of the way his father treated him. It immediately made me think of Jamie and the Man City match. He’s not bothered by the hatred, he’s bothered by not knowing where his Dad is. The fans aren’t saying anything that his own father hasn’t said to him.
Obviously, this doesn’t necessarily make him a better player but I think it contributes to the player he is. He’s a combination of talent, hard work, becoming a team player, etc etc etc. There’s so much that’s gone into making Jamie the player he is. And I don’t think it’s a coincidence he’s playing the best he has while he hasn’t spoken to his father.
Jamie’s face in the scene makes it even more heartbreaking. Because he’s not surprised. Not by his father’s outburst and not by Ted walking away.
I’m sure Jamie feels both ways. A small part of him would love Ted to storm in and stop his Dad, but like you said, even if it would make things worse eventually. And it’s probably not the first time someone has turned a blind eye to James Tartt’s treatment of his son.
Sorry for my rambling haha but never apologize to rambling to me! I’m deep in the brain rot too.

Why is it that every time a content creator gets called out for being an abuser people always go “oh their poor friends” like bro think about the fucking victims. Imagine something horrible happening to you and instead of people being worried about you they’re worried about your abusers best friends. Bffr.

The Lighthouse
two months before my 18th birthday, my mother, auntie and uncle picked me up from college and sat me down in the back of the old renault my uncle had had since I was 6. my mother took my hand in hers, but the icy touch that I came to associate with her presence did little to soothe my shaking. I was sure someone had died, or was severely ill. she told me with a blank stare that her and my dad were getting a divorce.
I knew this, of course. not because anyone had told me, but because there hadn't been an inch of love in my childhood home since the day they came back from a weekend in London 3 years earlier. I still haven't asked what happened.
I asked to go home. she said don't be silly. my uncle called my dad a daft cunt and my auntie cried. I asked to go home.
my uncle started the engine, I took my hand away from my mother. he turned the car in the wrong direction so I opened the door and jumped. my auntie cried louder, I got the bus home.
it took one look at my dad for me to burst into tears, I'll never take for granted the warmth of his hug that night. he made tea and we sat on the sofa and he put on an old episode of doctor who. she came back and sat opposite us. we said nothing, she just stared. they slept in separate beds for what was probably the 300th night in a row.
my mother wanted the house, my dad said okay. we started looking for flats together, somewhere he could walk to work and we could keep the dogs. there wasn't anywhere.
the next week, I stopped listening to music. if I listened to music I wouldn't be able to hear every word they spat at eachother. I spent every second sat on the top step, staring at nothing. the frost had begun to settle on the walls and in the old wooden floorboards beneath me.
two days later I came home from school to a police van outside my house. I stood there for what felt like hours, wondering what would happen if I ran. if none of it would be real.
she had locked the front door when he tried to leave. took a kitchen knife to her own arm when he picked up his keys and called the police. the police believed her. I believed my long-faded bruises that throbbed at the site of dad leaving police custody the next day.
I stopped going to school after that.
I got on a plane on my 18th birthday without telling anybody. I flew to Reykjavik and walked for hours in the cold of winter. I told my life story to the mural of a bird on the side of Grotta Lighthouse. it still makes me laugh to this day that that lighthouse carries more of my burdens than my own parents.
then I flew home.
I didn't leave the house for longer than a few hours for the next two years. I drove 4-hour round trips to uni every week because leaving full time meant not knowing. I wasn't sure I'd be able to ever go back if I stayed away too long, but I couldn't risk another police van outside my childhood sanctuary.
mam didn't want the house anymore, too many memories she said. but she stayed. my dad slept with a door stop under his door every night, I slept on the kitchen floor with the dogs.
a young couple live in that house now. they had a baby yesterday, and have taken her home this evening. I hope they sleep without a door stop, in the comfort of a warm bed. I hope she sees her parent's intertwined hands and believes them. I hope that she doesn't flinch whenever her mother combs her hair. I hope she never feels the chill from the layer of frost that settled in the floorboards.
I was so angry that they stayed. they both stayed. they chose to live in that house of hatred and violence and bitterness. they stayed for me, they said. so that I wouldn't have to leave my childhood home.

Update
Hey y'all! How's it going?
Um, I just wanted to post a little update, just to let y'all know some of what's going on in my life.
Warning: Mentions of Domestic Violence below
Last night, I posted about my parents arguing. When I made that post, it wasn't too bad yet, but I knew it was going to get worse, a lot worse. Unfortunately, I didn't know how much worse. I'll say right now, that I am fine. I am not injured and I am perfectly well.
But, I did have to step in to interfere with my parents' argument, which is something that I have never really done before. Now, this wasn't the worst they've had, but it was definitely way worse than it's been in years, and I mean years. And when I interfered, my father actually got up in my face, which is also the first time he's shown any aggression towards me. Again, nothing happened and I am fine. But, this does mark a significant change in how I view him in our home. I haven't trusted this man in years, not with my mom, not in our home, and not as the man who I used to call dad.
But now, I am forced to view him as an active threat, not only to myself, but to my mom as well. Because there has been a previous incident of him being physical with my mom, when I was young. I wasn't there for it, I was at my other dad's home. But when I returned to my mom, I had to see the blood stain on the ground in my room, belonging to my mom. And that is a sight that haunts me at this time. It's reminding me of what this man is capable of.
Now, for the time being, I am safe, and I am assuring that my mom is safe as well. But I have to say, that I think my activity on here will be slowing down again.
I am not taking a break, as I believe the current situation does not warrant it, but I do need to focus more on my own life for the time being. Right now, my own family is the center of my attention and I have to focus on that.
So, I guess this is my apology before the fact, letting you all know what's going on and why I may be absent for the next few days.
I love y'all so much, legitimately, I have been having so much fun talking with y'all again. Anyway, see y'all later!
Much love, Rachel <3

I Got You- Chapter 1
Tumblr media
Pairing- Jake 'Hangman' Seresin x Female!Reader
Word count- 963
Warnings- Some language, mentions of domestic violence, and abuse, abusive boyfriend, hurt reader. If I missed something please let me know.
A/N- Birthday post 2. This one has been sitting in my WIP since last fall. First Jake story, I hope I can do him justice. The first few chapters will be a little heavy, but we will move past that.
Summary- When you have finally reached a breaking point, you call the one person you trust for help. He’s never seen you as more than a friend, but he is the person you know you’re safest with.  It’s been months since he has had so much as a text from you, but Jake Seresin would do anything for the Navy princess he met years ago.  The pilot knows she means more to him than he ever will to her, but he will do anything for her
Series Masterlist
After a long first day of being back at Top Gun, Jake is sitting at the bar of the Hard Deck nursing his first beer of the night.  Some of the other aviators from this detachment are by the pool table, after spending the day around them, he isn’t inclined to head over right now.  The bar itself isn’t crowded yet, the night’s still early. 
“I don’t usually see you sitting at my bar by yourself, you alright?”  Penny questions as she wipes down the empty bar around him.
“Yeah, just been a long day Penny.” he returns with a slight smirk.
“Are you sure that’s all?”  The bartender remembers Jake from his first go around at Top Gun.  Maverick’s Goddaughter brought him in on his first night in town, and introduced Jake to Penny.”
“Yes, ma’am.”  The pilot is staring at his beer before he speaks again.  “Did you know the man we threw out last night was a Captain, and an instructor at Top Gun?”
“Oh God, Pete’s your instructor?”  Much to Jake's frustration she laughs.
“Sure is, not really the best first impression one wants to make.”
“Don’t worry, that man has made much worse first impressions.” 
“Doesn’t really help me now, Penny,” Jake responds with a shake of his head, and takes a drink of his beer.  He has every intention of leading this mission, and last night’s little incident isn’t the best way to make that happen. 
“There’s a blonde over by the wall who's been staring at you for a good ten minutes if you’re looking for company to take your mind off Mave,” she teases as she moves to help another patron. 
Shaking his head once more, Jake’s attention goes back to the beer in front of him. It isn't long before his phone rings and he pulls it out of his pocket, not bothering to look at the caller ID before answering.
“Hello.”
No one responds, but he can faintly hear breathing on the other end.
“Hello,” he tries again with a little impatience in his tone. 
“J..Jake?  Where are you?”
He pulls the phone away from his ear and looks at the caller ID.  Seeing the number he assumes his eyes are playing tricks on him.  He hasn’t heard from you in a few months. 
“Are you there?  Please…I..”
He can hear the desperation in your voice now.
“I’m still here princess, little surprised to be hearing from you though.  What’s going on?”
“Are you in Lemoore?”
“No, I’m actually…” he’s cut off by your sob.
“What’s wrong?  Talk to me Y/N,” he pleads, turning away from the bar.
“I… I… need help,” you finally whisper.
“Where are you?”  Jake stands and throws some money down to cover his drink and tip Penny before hurrying out of the bar.
“I’m in L.A., but if you’re not in Lemoore…”
“I’m at Top Gun, I’m on my way.  What’s your address?”
He puts it in his GPS as he speeds out of the parking lot and toward the highway determined to get to you as quickly as he can.  He keeps you on the phone the entire drive, but here isn’t much said between the two of you.  Jake does his best to console you over the phone as he listens to your tears.  When he asks if your boyfriend is around, you just start crying harder.  The urge to punch someone or something growing inside of him.  Pushing the speed limit the aviator gets to your apartment in just under 2 hours, you buzz him in and he’s running up the stairs to your apartment.
Still on the phone with you, Jake lets you know he’s outside your door.  The man is slightly confused when the door opens and he doesn’t see you.  Carefully walking inside he looks around the room and quickly turns when the door shuts behind him. His longtime friend is standing behind the door with her head down and hair covering her face, he slowly reaches out to lift her chin and push the hair back. Jake can’t help the gasp that escapes as he takes in the sight in front of him, as she recoils from his touch.
“Y/N, princess, what happened?  Who did this?”   
Unable to answer Jake’s question, you return to staring at the floor.  Maybe you shouldn’t have bothered your friend, but you didn’t know what else to do.  You knew if Jake was still at Lemoore he would help you.  Tonight was the worst it’s been and you were terrified of what the next time would bring. 
“Sweets, did Josh do this to you?”  Jake is seeing red, trying to rein his temper in for your sake.  He never cared for your boyfriend, and if he finds out this is that man’s doing, Jake won’t be holding himself back next time he sees him.  There are bruises forming on your left cheek and chin, and dried blood near your nose. Your left arm has some cuts he can see from the ripped sleeve of your shirt. 
The only answer he receives is a slight nod of the head.
“Where is he?”  When you don’t respond he tries again.  “He isn’t here right?”
You shake your head no, before finding your voice.  “Probably at the bar getting drunk and finding a better girl to go home with,” you mumble.
Jake can’t keep himself away any longer he comes and slowly wraps you up in a hug holding you close to him.  You are tense when he first touches you, but slowly melt into his hold. This spurs on another round of tears, you can’t believe you still have any left.
“Okay, we need to get you out of here before he comes back.”
Thank you for reading!
Chapter 2

Struggling with horrible crippling anxiety tonight bc my physically abusive mother is sleeping over (for a lot of reasons, it's complicated) and now I'm so worried and anxious I can't even fall asleep (I sleep on my side with an earbud in and music playing because I struggle to fall asleep in silence, but my TV is broken and I get worried about disturbing people with my music (<- irrational thing to be anxious abt bc all I listen to is goddamn tally hall who write songs without cuss words in it, also I'm alone in my room and u can't even hear my phone outside the room at full volume) but this means I can't hear my mama (other mother, they're gay) if she starts screaming for my help. Yes this a previously occurring issue, I once stayed up for 3 days on two hours of sleep because I was so scared to sleep because when I tried to sleep I was awoken two hours later to that very thing.)(also I saw a video on tiktok of these two people arguing about the very same thing they argue about, and one of them just snapped and killed the other (this has also been a fear of mine, shout out to other people who have had to stand between two 60 year olds and gotten a large glass candle thrown at their head))
They're no longer living together but she's staying over tonight and I'm so. Anxious. Last time she slept over I was woken up because of them arguing (verbally, thankfully) and I couldn't go back to sleep because I was so nervous, I was shaking like a goddamn possessed maraca. Tomorrow we were supposed to be cleaning out the garage (touchy issue in my house, my mom's kinda a hoarder but we've always limited it to the garage which is now roach infested which has been a huge fucking argument for forever) which she was NOT supposed to be present for. She wasn't supposed to come over at all, but apparently she is because she just. Came in my room and was like "hey baby!" Like several hours ago and I was like "😁 hey!! What are you doing here??"
Struggling, horrors and despair <3

chase cutting emma’s brakes is probably something my classmate’s (ex?)boyfriend would do if we were slightly older (he used her separate cooking supplies to make food with gluten for it even though she had it in the first place to NOT HAVE TRACES OF GLUTEN IN HER FOOD BECAUSE SHE HAD BAD ALLERGIES)

Being able to empathize with bad people is not a bad thing. Empathy does NOT equal endorsement. Being able to empathize with people is important in understanding how to prevent bad things from happening. Being able to empathize can be healing for many people. That does NOT mean that if you don't personally empathize with someone who has harmed you that you're a bad person. How you feel about your own personal experiences is completely valid. I think it's important to be allowed to feel how you feel. What I am saying is that it's not bad to understand why people are the way they are and to seek to understand other people. Someone is not an "abuse enabler" just because they can empathize with and understand how people end up as they are. Or can see alternative perspectives? Many people with trauma from abuse feel empathy for the people who've harmed them or find solace in recognizing that person was going through their own issues as well. I'm so sick and tired of whenever an abuser is portrayed as anything but am over villainized caricature people say it's romanticizing or simply having empathy for people who have done grave harm is seen as a bad thing. Sometimes it's not even being made to feel bad for people who have done bad but simply people with so called "evil thoughts or disorders"(great way to talk about people with intrusive thoughts or personality disorders by the way jackass) . It's not ever bad to empathize with people who've done wrong.
There's no limits to who you can empathize with.
None whatsoever
You can empathize with murderers, mass shooters, your abusive parents or partners, domestic abusers, rapists, child sexual abusers, child physical and emotional abusers, dictators, fascistic politicians, war criminals, animal abusers, cult leaders, people with personality disorders, or etc. , or cannibals, stalkers,wealthy people , cops ,or anyone for that matter fictional or not.
It doesn't mean you condone shit or endorse shit!!! And also half the time people aren't being called out for empathizing with people who've done bad but simply for people who've thought bad things(people with PDs or intrusive thoughts and shit). Don't say "thought crime doesn't exist" and then enforce thought crime. Humans are complex. And just because someone feels bad for someone who abused them or tries to see things from their point of view doesn't mean they're justifying or minimizing their abuse. Empathizing with bad people actually allows us to understand and prevent and build bridges. For some people that's their path towards healing is empathizing with and maybe even forgiving the people who've done them wrong and their path to recovery is none of your business.
If you don't empathize with bad people or don't care to or want to. That's fine. Again that's fine completely. It's not my place to tell you how to feel about the things that have caused you grave emotional distress. Never was and never will be. I'm just saying don't call the people who do empathize and who do explore that capacity. I've literally seen a professional child sexual abuse expert be called a "pedophile enabler" for trying toe explain his own research into the minds of people who've committed sexual offense against children. That's his literal job! yes it's good to empathize with bad or evil people. It's important. It's not wrong to do that. And unless you want to hang every criminal who you've decided should be hung building some sort of path to integration or healthy place to keep them locked away from society should be the standard.
