i don't wanna what-about which is why i'm not saying anything on the post but it is. i dunno. weird to me that the armenian genocide is the only anatolian genocide that people mention -- the ottoman empire & (later) turkey also attempted genocide against anatolian greeks and (til) assyrians during the same period (~1913-1923)

i only heard it called the "greek and rmenian genocide" when i was younger, it wasn't until later that i realized that's not the common usage

#bird original #“armenian and assyrian and greek genocide” is a mouthful #and i guess people only ever think “greek” means the peninsula so that's a source of confusion #i didn't even know there WAS an existing assyrian ethnic group #but i dunno. #when i was home for christmas this year i learned one of my uncles figured out which village my yaia came from. #he'd found some pictures on google maps. of a beautiful locally-known church tower that had been destroyed in the genocide #& which the surviving townspeople had gone to great lengths to restore -- i don't remember if it had gone back into use though #i should ask about that #i'm three generations of assimilation + outmarriage down so it's not like it's visceral generational trauma but it's ... weird. i dunno #it's weird.

Excellent chapter amazing as always expect my usual nonsense in your inbox soon but also BITING YOU BITING YOU BITING YOU BITING YOU BITING YOU BITING YOU BITING YOU BITING YOU BITING YOU BITING YOU BITING YOU BITING YOU BITING YOU BITING YOU 💜🎃💜

SORRY/THANKS/I GUESS? TW I'm about to talk about domestic and child abuse

But yeah I was kind of nervous about posting that one, because I chose not to say a lot of things explicitly. Marc's POV was utterly submerged in his warped thinking, and he was taking a very uncharitable view of Layla and the situation. Both him and Steven are completely unaware why they're doing the things they're doing, and Layla & Frenchie don't really know either, so everybody's lost and no explanations are given. Thankfully I think people mostly took home what I was saying.

Something you mentioned that was exactly on the money (as usual w/you) was the fact that this Marc isn't exactly the Marc that we are used to. He's not the host, he's come out specifically because Jake couldn't do it anymore, and he's helping Jake in a very specific way right now - basically Feeling The Feelings and having the trauma. Jake remembers the trauma but it's distant and removed for him, Steven doesn't have it - it's on Marc right now. And he is reacting to it in every way that Jake could not for six years (and every way Marc didn't let himself for his entire life). Jake's pinballing really hard between Marc "I Am Experiencing Five Different Trauma Reactions At Once Because I am Feeling Ten Different Traumas Viscerally" Spector and Steven "Whoops Can't Feel The Trauma Anymore, Telly Time" Grant. He's feeling everything, then when he can't handle that he feels nothing, then it builds up and he goes back to feeling everything, and...yeah, you get the picture. It's really bad. Like super not good. Very not good.

I also was really, really wondering if people would remark on this specifically, and people mentioned it a little - you mentioned hypervigilance, on the money again, and others definitely mentioned that he was going out of control from Holding The Sadness Ball - but I'm wondering how obvious this was for people that just really 90% of Marc's behavior in relation to Layla this chapter was really just because she was a woman.

It was really, really just because she was a woman in his house who said she was his wife. There was definitely a power imbalance too, and some other stuff, but for the most part it was "woman in my house who says she's my domestic partner". He has seen one marriage in his entire life (that I wrote as featuring domestic abuse because genuinely improbable that there wouldn't be, even if he & his father did not recognize it as such at the time), he's had one woman living in his home, he is SUPER hopped up on everything I just said about how everything is very close to the surface for him, and he is just blanket terrified of her for reasons he can't even identify. It's not like canon where he grows to love & trust her & all that good stuff. Just wake up and there's uhh a fucking lady in his house.

The reason why he has the violent meltdown is because he's doing that abused kid thing (Marc has some age stuff subtly happening in this chapter bc so much of the stuff he's going through so viscerally is from childhood) of testing boundaries and trying to provoke a reaction to see if he would be hit. That's really mostly it. He went postal & tried to provoke her into hitting him because her intimacy with Steven made him afraid for Steven's safety and he needed to see if she would. Marc is not aware he's doing this or feeling this way.

I've seen some other stuff in other corners of the MK fandom/fics that made me think that people might not realize the extent to which (not stated but honestly probable!) female on male domestic abuse might affect Marc. I feel like if the genders were flipped here or if it was same-sex then it would be, like, stunningly obvious, but as it stands it might feel more subtle. I have uh a small soapbox over how I don't think this fandom's overcome internalized biases about female on male abuse as much as it thinks it has but that's a digression.

Hey put like this, this story is uhhhhhhhh kinda dark. I forget that a lot, it's all comedy and drama to me. Thanks for reading!

#my writing #i've seen some people saying some things about elias #that they just flat out would not say if the genders were reversed #it's weird. #i thought about actually vocalizing this in the story but im glad i kept it just that really awful undercurrent #feels stronger.

I am feeling a bit sad right now but still. Look at this picture

THE TINIEST BABIES I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!!!!!

#ghost's pets #Unfortunately I don't have many pictures of them as babies since at the time I didn't have a phone #Maybe my mom has more pictures of them as a baby. I may ask her. But I was really pretty young when we got them #Unfortunately I don't have ANY baby pictures of Ozzy since he used to be my dad's cat before he gave him to my mom #Unfortunately Ozzy didn't get the love he deserved and dad never took any pictures of him and he hated him #Other than this sadness I am okay and actially in a good mood. #It's weird.

The number of characters Jade actually interacts with in homestuck is hilariously Low.

#the numebr of HS character who truly interact with each other is way too low in general but like #some of the characters some of the IMPORTANT characters barely talk to each other? #it's Weird.

Christmas as a cultural icon is starting to get really dystopian in a climate sense, december has historically been a time of year in which there would be snow in a significant portion of europe and north america, and the fact that its not even icy this time of year and all the christmas songs and decorations reference a time of year that will likely never exist in the same way again in my life time is so strange.

#for reference i live in scotland so it is weird that there is no ice or snow in december anymore #shitpost #not really but its just how i find my original content #christmas #climate change

I hate the “open floor plan” that everyone is obsessed with in houses now. I want nooks and crannies and bizarre floor plans. I don’t need to be able to see what someone is doing on the other side of the house. I want places to hide and lurk and dwell in the shadows. I am the beast who awaits in the labyrinth
