Blood

Instead of Bonnie dying on the cross, the Billy Boys decide to have some fun with the young Gold's future wife. They beat her, have their way with her until she's bloody and unconscious, shoot her in the chest, and tie her to the cross. By some miracle, if you could call it that, the girl survived, but she'll never be the same.

THIS FIC IS VERY MUCH INCOMPLETE. I DON'T KNOW WHEN I'LL FINISH IT, OR IF I WILL. I WILL TAKE CRITICISM BUT KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS IS MY FIRST FIC EVER POSTED.

Warnings: fem!reader, heavy angst, allusions to rape, blood (mentioned), miscarriage, paralysis, likely inaccurate depictions of a Birmingham-based hospital in the 1920s, abortion themes, childhood abuse (mentioned), verbal abuse (mentioned), MASSIVE TRIGGERS ALTOGETHER

While there are absolutely no religious themes or allusions in this fic, I did partially base this on my own experience being raised Catholic (tho not in an ideal, "good" Catholic household if that makes sense), as well as events that have happened in my extended family, including but not limited to: mental/verbal child abuse, rape, disability, and miscarriage.

Let me know what you think in the comments!

.

"Was it a girl? A boy?"

A pause. "A girl."

"I want to hold her."

A gasp. "No."

"Give her to me."

"I-I'm sorry, th-the fetus has already been--"

"DON'T CALL HER THAT!" I roared, attempting to lung at the poor nurse, but my legs were numb. The girl leaped away, her eyes wide with terror. I wanted to blind her. "SHE'S A BABY! SHE NEEDS HER MOTHER! GIVE HER TO ME! GIVE HER BACK! GIVE HER--"

Arms wrap around my shoulders and I screamed. Back in the forest, the Billy Boys' chanting rang in my ears as their hands groped my body. One of them sliced the front of my dress, cutting flesh down to the stomach. Another squeezed my breasts. Someone slammed his boot into my gut. I couldn't even cry out with a hand covering my mouth. In the hospital, nurses and doctors surrounded me, then I returned once again to the forest. Memory and reality blurred into one. I struggled against the arms wrapped around my midsection, only vaguely processing that I couldn't kick my legs, try as I may. Hot tears spilled from my eyes in the struggle, screaming and scratching the unwelcome touch of my captors. There were no words, only rage and fear and a desire to not be touched. The telltale BANG of a gunshot echoed in the country air. My abdomen felt sticky and warm. Vaguely, I register a cloth covering my mouth, it's sickly-sweet scent all too familiar. My world, hazy and warped, once more fades into darkness.

The next time I woke up, the room was different. A heavy door, white brick walls, and a single window with light streaming through. I went to shield my eyes, but my arms were too heavy. I couldn't even muster out a word, only what could be called a grunt.

Xxxxxxxxxxx

"I can't, Bonnie. I can't get up."

A pause. "Why?" His voice was so small.

I sighed, and looked up to him with sad, tired eyes. "I can't feel my legs."

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"I..." My breath hitched. "I... didn't want a baby." I stared at the wall. I couldn't look at her. I didn't want to see her eyes. "I could never be...a good mother. H-How could I? Didn't exactly have the best example."

I paused. "Sh-she'd always held it over my head. 'I could'a 'ad ya killed,' she'd say. 'Should'a let the doc cut ya into pieces an' be done wi' ya,' she'd shout. Like my life was an inconvenience, e-even before my first breath. My own fuckin' mother. And I'll have been just like 'er, wouldn't I?

"B-But.. I still wanted my-- I still wanted her to... have a chance. Bonnie's a good man, and she would have known her father to be a good man. He didn't force me, and I think he knew I didn't want... but I knew he really wanted to be. I tried for him. A-And I get why other people would just get rid of it, there are serious reasons to, but... but I never saw this child as an "it." She was there. She was moving... dancing, even. She was alive. How could I take that away? Even now, I don't understand how anyone believes they have the right to do something like that, even if the m-mum would d-die otherwise. And God, I'm a fuckin' terrible person for saying that, aren't I?" I paused, breath hitching, then continued. "But to me, I'd have killed her. I-I didn't want a kid, but I wanted her to live."

I saw Ada's shoes approach my chair, and she surprised me by wiping my cheeks. When had I started to cry? She gingerly turned my face towards hers, stood back an inch, and opened her arms.

Another pause.

A sob ruptured from my throat. I lunged into her bosom, clung to her satin dress, and cried.

From my blog archive:

“A workable and reasonable middle ground must be found, and politicians on both sides of the abortion question must stop parroting the talking points of those whose fundraising is predicated on promoting controversy and discord—not on seeking common cause between Americans of good faith.”

New York state to protect abortion providers under new laws

ALBANY, N.Y. — New York has expanded legal protections for people seeking and providing abortions in the state under legislation signed by Gov. Kathy Hochul on Monday. The Democratic governor pushed for the laws in anticipation of the U.S. Supreme Court potentially overruling its 1973 Roe v. Wade’s decision, which established a constitutional right to abortion. A ruling that could weaken or end…

Topical: the joyful mystery of life

Newspaper editorialists don’t write their own headlines. Still, the headline on Matthew Walther’s New York Times contribution to the United States’ current discussion of national abortion policy is worth a look on its own merits — a look literally. Considered strictly as an arrangement of black characters on a white page, it seems to promise us no less than a definition by visual example of the…

Sorry House writers you are not going to get me to like Stacy. What she did is fucked up. House was being a stubborn idiot but it's his body. She forced a medical procedure on him he did not want. People should have their bodily autonomy respected.

It could be argued that Stacy asserting her will over the patient (House) and forcing him into a life of constant pain because She Knows Best is the foundational malpractice of the show. The inciting incident. The Primordial Malpractice resulted in House's pain (contributing to his anger and depression and causing his drug addiction) and established that patients' views do not need to be respected. Why should House care about what patients want if he's a renowned doctor and no one respected him?

Additionally, pre-meditation. It's not like he went into cardiac arrest again and she made an emotional decision to try to save him. She told Cuddy her plan before he was unconscious. She knew his wishes and formulated a plan to take away his choice, knocking him unconscious while he still thought she respected his decision.

Finally, cowardice and/or incompetence. If you are going violate ethics and turn towards evil, don't go for the middle-of-the-road option. She wanted to cut off his leg. This was the only option that would almost certainly not cause him chronic pain. One should not half-ass evil. This whole middle-ground thing she chose was probably to make herself feel better. It let her pretend that she wasn't making the choice she was, because his leg was still there. If she really believed her own logic as strongly as she claimed, she would have had them remove his leg. She didn't. This just annoys me. If you're going to be evil, put your whole ass into it.

In conclusion, despite how desperate I am for complex female characters in House, I still hold that Stacy can kick rocks.

#house md #hatecrimes md #gregory house #stacy warner #my experience protesting for abortion rights leaves me quite familiar with the “my body my choice” slogan #it doesn't matter that he may have been wrong #people should decide what happens to their bodies #sorry to say something controversial yet brave #yes I am rewatching House from the beginning #I am not accepting criticism at this time

ngl, the past year of work has been really unnerving and kind of breaking my brain since roe. will never forget the day it got overturned- was making coffee thirty minutes before my shift when it came on the radio. had to tell a few hundred people the news last summer because I work in grassroots abortion advocacy. I love my job more than anything, but I think, sometimes, it's bad for me. everyone should do it once, but there's no way to describe old women graphically describing finding women dead in alleys or forcibly married before Roe. or the silence in the car on the way back to the office from the field, god, that silence never gets better. or that wealthy woman, she had a mansion, who fell to the ground and cried and we stopped being rich and poor but were just women for a minute, commiserating in fear and grief and rage and sadness while dirt rubbed into her red bottom shoes, myself sweating up a storm in shitty sneakers. I love my job so much, but sometimes it's so raw, and it hurts so much, and I just want to disappear or drink or die or whatever. but I'm being responsible so I read and workout at the beach. but I still see the wealthy woman on the ground. I still hear the old women and their tales of woe. I look over my shoulder at the new patrols out along state lines, illegal and legal abortion. I want to blink. I can't blink. It's blinding. Turn down the lights. Please.

My career coach: why aren’t you willing to apply to programs in these states? You would only have to live there for a few years and your career is the rest of your life

Me, closeted trans person who would like to transition at some point in my life: I care a lot about access to abortion

“Despite the majority support for abortion rights generally, 66% said abortion should be legal in, at most, the first three months of a pregnancy.”

Count me among the 66%! This is right in line with the original intent of Roe v. Wade.

I hate how people say "oh Scott Cawthon isn't homophobic bc he donated to all those gay charities there is no reson to hate him"

It's highly unlikely he is homophobic but you want to know what isn't highly unlikely. Him being misogynist and sexist like he donated to all those Republicans to prevent abortions. And guess what is happening exactly right now as we speak, states banning abortions. No matter what the internet "takes" from him, he contributed to take away peoples right to abortion.

The fact that the majority of Republicans are homophobic really doesn't matter to him if it helps in the conquest of bodily autonomy

#fnaf #Scott Cawthon #controversy #what happened has happened but stop deflecting by saying that he not homophobic #bodily autonomy #abortions #i feel like his fans are definitely gon hate me for saying this but you where right when it came to his homophobia so yay🎉#does any if this even matter bc fnaf is such a shitty franchise now?#rant

Abortions and Birth Control

Where to start with this?

Firstly, men who say "Women who were irresponsible enough to be pregnant need to take responsibility." are idiots. A man helps to create a baby too. By that logic, a man should take responsibility for a baby too. If a woman is forced to raise a child that she doesn't want, then a man shouldn't be allowed to leave her while she's pregnant. And the quote "Women who were irresponsible enough to be pregnant need to take responsibility." doesn't even begin to touch on the topic of women who were raped, women who's partners slipped the condom out halfway through, women who's birth control failed. What if a woman's life is at risk with the pregnancy? Women have a heartbeat too. And people who say that women can just get their tubes tied are big fat uneducated morons.

Women have had experiences when they went to have their tube tied where their healthcare provider would ask things like "Oh, but what about your husband?" "Are you married?" "What if your husband wants kids?" "What if you regret it?" and are told things like "You're too young." "You'll regret it.". There are so many obstacles standing in the way of women trying to get their tubes tied compared to men getting a vasectomy. When women get their tubes tied, there are also hormonal side effects. When men get a vasectomy, there's NO hormonal side effects. But the hormones side of things is just basic biology, there's no arguing that. But, for whatever reason, birth control is pushed onto women. It only takes 24 hours to recover from a vasectomy whereas it takes 1 - 3 weeks to recover from getting your tubes tied. And yet, men will refuse vasectomies but pressure women to get their tubes tied or get a hysterectomy. And if a woman is pregnant, people only care while the baby is in her womb.

People don't care about the baby once a woman gives birth. A prime example of this is how pro lifers push for abortions to be banned because "A fetus is a human." And "Abortions are murder.". Like, bitch, a fetus is a ball of cells. They don't even have pain receptors until the fourth month of pregnancy. And how are abortions murder? And you only care about the baby while it's in the womb. Once it's out, you don't give a shit. If all lives matter, what about the black lives? What about the thousands of kids in foster care who are being raped and abused daily? No one bats an eye. If you really think all lives matter, then you should also help kids in foster care and homeless people. What about the people who can't afford a hospital or treatment for something such as cancer? What about them?

My opinion is: Abortions should be made widely accessible to women. It should be a woman's choice if she gets an abortion or not. She should not be denied basic healthcare.

What's your take on this? Do you think that they're murder? Do you think women should be allowed abortions? I want to know what you think. Tell me in the comments.

Alright, controversial post time.

One of my neighbors / roommates was talking to the other about current events and her position on them. Like Kendrick Lamar getting a Grammy and putting his face on an album with a diamond encrusted crown of thorns - which we agree is completely self absorbed and self aggrandizing because he's apparently rapping about rape and unrestrained violence, comparing himself to Jesus, who was a workman in workman's clothing and wore a plant crown of thorns (literally a gold star sticker but made of plant matter) on his deathbed because the Romans wanted to mock him as he left the world in slow agony - and pointing at Roe V Wade as a win for women's rights...

After a while of looking at how the world is crumbling, I left them to it, but it got me thinking.

I don't post about politics - too much to keep track of, too many lies and broken promises - and I don't want to be attacked where I come to socialize, but I wanted to post my opinions on two matters.

Abortion:

I can empathize with both sides, because the pro life is like "All Life is Precious!" Which I feel is true but then you have to consider Pro Abortion which is "Does she have the money or food to support the growing life within her? Is she a victim of rape of any kind? Would leaving the child to take its first breath ostracize her from her community or family? If it's against the law to do so, then will she get counseling for the new being, monetary support, anything but a legal yelling at for risking her life to prevent the added load with amateur efforts through medicines or punching her own stomach? Will the husband be available to, or even want to, support her?"

In the end... I'm in favor of legalized abortion, not penalizing it. It's her life, socially and medically, and taking that away... That's not ethical, I think.

Which brings us to a similar matter.

Gun Control

I mean, I do understand both sides, like before.

Stricter gun control prevents school shootings, things like the attempted gay bar massacre I heard about through Tumblr, massive amounts of gun related violence.

But it won't prevent gang violence. The black market exists, and so there will always be illegal things for sale. It won't prevent murders with bludgeons, which are everywhere and even built in to our species. It won't prevent the government from deciding its own laws are not worth respecting and enforce a dictatorship out of a democracy - in fact, it's written into the second amendment as one of the reasons why the right to bear arms exists within America. And if you remove the cities with the toughest laws on guns you move America's standing as one of the most violent countries down to bear the bottom of the pile, because the threat of a gun is a powerful preventative measure against physical violence like breaking someone in half with a perfectly legal baseball bat or a kitchen knife.

This is not a question of "Guns should / should not be legal". This is a question of "Can we make people honorable, responsible owners?"

...and that is not a question I can answer.

A responsible gun owner knows how to use their gun, keeps it stored away from children who do not understand - and maybe gives them that understanding and training - and only draws it to either ward off true danger or when that danger is a forgone conclusion.

...

Well, I'm depressed. Time for a distraction.
