i'm just like louis in angels in america because i, too, run away the second something gets difficult, love talking about politics in a theoretical sense but fail to apply those concepts in real life, am terrified of bodies and death, feel like i'm constantly performing for an unseen audience and acting how i think i'm supposed to be acting instead of authentically feeling things, and guilt runs through my veins making me apologise at absolutely inappropriate times because i need everyone to forgive me and like me please like me.

Because i hate myself (actually cause I saw a bumper sticker today that made me scream in pure rage) (and also cause like… because i need to be armed to the teeth with knowledge and facts because conservative right-wing family members love to parrot bullshit propaganda when not just being outright bigots🙄) I decided to take a read through the entire Wikipedia page concerning Trump’s 2024 run (and then I looked at his actual campaign website cause I hate myself more and wanted to see some of his actual rhetoric that was mentioned but not quoted) and it’s just like…
He fucking wants to appoint himself as god-king (wants to expand power of the executive (diminishing the separation of powers), turn govt civil employees status to ‘at will’ for firing, and to impose congressional term limits while also abolishing his own) and “root out” the “vermin” in this country (literal rhetoric he has used) and with this Court it probably won’t just go unchecked, but like I’m afraid it could be affirmatively endorsed using principles of originalism and ‘history and tradition’ (whose fucking version of history???? Huh???? Because it certainly wasn’t fucking mine when you overturned Roe in Dobbs) but in the fast and loose way that they like to, where sometimes they want to be textualist and sometimes they don’t.
Assuming he tries, I do think expansion of the executive might not get support from some of the conservative justices under principles of federalism which is— wrong math, right answer. But they 100% would justify his white Christian supremacist alloamatocisheteronormative patriarchal policies under originalism and ‘history and tradition’. As if letting the past guide the future isn’t a fucking BATSHIT thing to do. We learn the past to do BETTER in the future, not to fucking EMULATE it and use their standards to STAGNANT the lives of real people. EVEN THE FUCKING DRAFTERS OF THE GODDAMN CONSTITUTION KNEW THAT IN FUCKING 1787 SO WHY THE FUCK ARE WE STILL DOING THIS SHIT! But I digress from my originalism rant because this is a Presidential Campaign rant.
Like Trump literally said he wants to (and WILL BE) a dictator.
“He says, ‘You’re not going to be a dictator, are you?’. I said: ‘No, no, no, other than day one. We’re closing the border and we’re drilling, drilling, drilling. After that, I’m not a dictator.’”
“Baker today in the New York Times said that I want to be a dictator. I didn’t say that. I said I want to be a dictator for one day.”
*insert regina george* so you agree? You want to be a dictator? Pretty sure being one for “one day” is called establishing the dictatorship and suuure Jan im sure that it’ll stay limited in scope to the borders and drilling (as if that would fucking make it okay???) 🙄
And then the option on the ‘opposing’ side is Joe Biden, who, chief among his many faults, is aiding and supporting a genocide. The fact that he has no competition in primaries (literally only one other person is even trying) and will end up being the Democratic candidate has me so incensed and the fact that Joseph Biden is fucking painted as the ‘radical left’ by opposition is both objectively hilarious and just horrifying and dangerously (and probably intentionally) misleading so as to continue the shift of whatever “middle” exists to actually be further and further right wing.
There is not really a larger point here and I’m super not looking for discourse but if anyone is gonna try anyway— don’t bother me without a source.
Anyway I’m just fucking tired and fuck the electoral college and the fact that one of these two ancient men winning seems inevitable

Lookin for a Hero
Part Two
Summary: Living with your new stepdad is beginning to get to you, so you have ways to deal with the…ache. But when a particular stranger comes along, offering you a place of refuge for a night, he comes with a couple of surprises…
Relationship: stepdad’s best friend!Bucky Barnes x black!YA!reader x stepdad!Steve Rogers
Warnings: graphic language, stepdad/stepdaughter relations, age gap, alcohol consumption, teasing, smut, sharing/tag team, threesome, unprotected sex, male masturbation, smut cliffhanger, 18+
A/N: this idea has been sitting on my list for a while so I decided to ride the inspo to see where it would take me. OOPS! Looks like there’s going to be a part two…cuz I feel like being evil 😈 shoutout my mans Prince for that line at the end 🙃😏😘
Tumblr media
Lately, you were feeling weird about coming home on the weekends to visit. Home life had changed and you had a hard time adjusting. Steve had moved in with your mom and although they’d been together for a while now, something about him being in the house was just…off-putting. There was nothing wrong with him; he was really good to your mom and maybe…on occasion…a little too good to you. In the past, you didn’t mind the minor flirting; maybe Steve was just being a nice guy but now when you come visit, you’ve been catching him…lingering. Especially when your mom wasn’t around. Stare, bite and lick his plump bottom lip at you, fine, but then he started to spend more time getting to know you. Alone, late at night, sometimes with a couple of beers. Vibes were constantly weird between you guys…and you didn’t want to disrespect your mom but if Steve didn’t chill, you might do something about his subtle advances.
To avoid his heat, you’d go out with a couple of friends who still lived in town, and drunkenly take your sexual frustrations out on total strangers. Something to get take edge off. Sometimes Steve would get you so worked up just by sitting all close, silently breathing down your neck. All it took. His angered silent treatment was just as hot. He hated when you’d come home all fucked up, reeking of alcohol and some guy’s shitty cologne. Reprimanding you with that grueling Captain America glare as he’d drag you to your room before your mom busted you. Then not speaking to you until you came strutting by in something to catch his eye. Although the game was only played a few times a month, you and Steve were pretty much addicted to the chase.
It’s a good night out with your homies, tossing back tequila shots and catching up about life. You had a fantastic buzz going, scanning the bar for your a new prospect. Tonight, dude’s gotta be smokin to curb your Steve fever he ran you so fuckin hot before you left the house.
“What kind of top is this?” He asked in a hush, tugging on your tattered tank top as he pushed you into the front door. “Barely covers your tits.” Gazing down at your cleavage Steve grazed his hard on across your warm crotch with a nasty smirk, tempted to grope your heaving breast but his massive hand just hovered there.
“Kinda the point Steve.” You stared at his hand, waiting for him to make a move but after a minute of nothing you scoffed a laugh and pushed him off you. “Don’t wait up…pop.”
He was getting bolder, a lot more brazen with his intentions, which made living with him lately a little dangerous. Hence why tonight, your next victim needs to be just as big and fine as your asshole stepdad who won’t let up. But no one’s caught your eye just yet so you order you and friends another round. And another round. Aaand another round until it’s late and everyone’s drunk ready to call it. Not you, because you know who’s waiting for you at home. You’re lowkey begging them not to go just yet, just one more, but they head for the exit with sincerest apologies.
Pouting to yourself, you debate your next move. Go home drunk to Steve and possibly fuck him under your mom’s nose? Or call up one of your repeats to handle your needs? Either way you need to book a ride out of here soon.
“Oh hold on there hun.” Some random guy catches you stumbling up out of your chair. “You’re ok. I got you…”
Something familiar about his voice, his smell as you turn your chin up to see if you recognize this man helping you out the door.
“Who…?” Your visions blurry but his vivid steel blue eyes stand out, his cool gaze curtained by his long brown hair. “Do I know…?”
He smiles, answering your question with a vague, “just a nice guy.”
You blow a noisy wet raspberry through your puckered lips, waving a flimsy hand. “No such thing.”
He chuckles at your drunken stupor, helping you get into the passenger seat of his truck. It’d be best to get you home but he was told to hold on to you for a while. Once he’s got you buckled in, he pulls out his phone to text:
Got her she’s good…drunk but good…
“Trust me.” He hops into the drivers seat with a wink, dropping his phone into an empty cup holder.
“Says the strange man who just put me in his truck. No name. Nothin.” It’s not like you put up much of a fight but…just sayin…only so much blind trust drunk you can give. His truck comes on with a deafening roar.
“Alright. I’m a friend.”
Another vague answer. “Of whose exactly?” You space out the window, gazing up at the stars with droopy lids. They dazzle like your mysterious stranger’s, imagining his pretty eyes peering into your soul like from earlier. Slipping into an intoxicating fantasy with a weighted sigh you hear him faintly mention over the image of him crawling up your squirming body,
“Guess you’d refer to me a friend of your stepdad…”
Wait, what?! Your daydream dissolves away as you come back down to earth, snapping your neck back over your shoulder.
“Oh fuck. Steve? You—you know Steve?” You blink, not expecting that. “Yeah, uh, Steve’s my—he’s my—married to my—fuck!” That’s when it dawns on you, who he is, how you fuckin know him! Gawking at him with your jaw dropped as he just chuckles at you. “Oh! Bucky! Oh hell you’re Bucky!” You’d seen pictures, heard stories but never actually met him damn. Now you’re really freaked, afraid that he’ll snitch on you. “Oh god…don’t. Don’t tell Steve ok he’ll go ballistic! He hates when I go home drunk with random dudes.” You beg clutching onto his giant bicep. “But—but you’re not a random dude you’re like his best friend! Oh god please Bucky.”
Bucky’s phone quietly vibrates in the console as you beg for his secrecy. A text from Steve illuminates his screen.
“Relax, relax hun I won’t say a word.” He lies through a toothy smile, patting your stressed hand as you sit back.
“Dude thank you.” You rest your hand over your racing heart with a sigh. “Can you not take me home? I really don’t want to hear his lecture…” or feel the weight of unbearable sexual tension in your chest as Steve growls, pinning you down to your bed. You gulp a desperate knot as a chill scatters down your spine. It’s for the best.
“Sure, we can go back to mine.” Bucky pleasantly hums to himself gripping the steering wheel. “Have a drink, get to know one other.”
Sounds perfect. You drop your coy gaze down his rugged profile, and assess the grown man sitting beside you. Bucky could do. Sure he’s Steve’s bestie, a little too close to home, but you’re picking up the same weird vibes off him that you do when you’re home alone with your stepdad. At least with him, you could get away with fuckin him guilt free. Tell Steve you didn’t know who he was until after the fact. You were so drunk anyway.
Come to my place…
“How come I’ve never met you before?”
Drink in hand, you trip over your feet as you take a round about his room, enjoying the heat of sultry glare following you.
“Not around a whole lot.” Bucky simply explains. “But Steve speaks…highly…of you.”
“Oh?” He catches you by surprise, abruptly turning your head. “Does he now?”
“Of course.” Bucky purrs, drinks, “so beautiful, so smart. Stubborn…but sweet.”
Eyes locked he carefully watches you strut over to him on the couch, sensually licking the whisky off his bottom lip. Dropping his knees even further apart, inviting you into his space with a sexy grin.
“Is that all?” You ask into your glass tossing back the rest of your drink, sitting it down before you take your time falling to your hands and knees. His stormy grey eyes are so vivid they’re damn near hypnotic and with each devious step you take, the further you lose yourself in his darkening glint.
Of course he’s said more but all of that will come to light with time. Bucky slowly draws up off the back of the couch and rests his elbows on his thighs, leaning over to meet you face to face.
“Isn’t that enough?” He asks softly, nudging your chin with his warm knuckle. “Trouble at home hun?”
You flinch a confused frown and reach for his pouty lips, relishing in his warm huffs of breath. “Nothing I can’t handle.”
Did he know? Would Steve confess his burdens to him like that? You can’t tell him you didn’t want to start any drama.
“Then why are you here?” A shaky sigh leaves your parted lips. Bucky affectionately brushes the tip of your nose with his, tipping your chin higher to be a little closer. Stray strands of his soft hair curtains his wrinkled eyes tickle your burning skin. His stubble prickling at your trembling chin. Gasping hard, you’re dying to be kissed but Bucky holds you still. “Lookin for a hero?”
“Something like that.” you pant, swallow a tiny whimper, sinking deeper into his steamy murky eyes. “Need a little help.”
Clenching his thighs you shove yourself off your knees and straddle him, pushing him back into cushions with a mischievous smirk. With both hands, Bucky palms your rocking ass with a mild groan, gripping you with a bite of his bottom lip. Batting his lashes up at you faintly gasping as you wind your hips over his hard on, cradling his scruffy jawline. Him now mesmerized by your beautiful seductive eyes, your devilish smile twitching with every circle of your waist.
“How…” he lowly growls with a roll of his neck, bucking off the seat, tugging you harder onto his hot lap.
“Fuck me Bucky.” you beg of him unbuckling his belt. Fuck Steve out of your system, you almost cried ripping his pants button and fly open. “Help me forget.”
Bucky inhales a harsh, raspy gasp as you fist his dick, tenderly pulling him out and immediately jerking him off. He sounds so good squirming underneath you you moan along with him, rolling the pad of your thumb around his dripping slit. Folds tingling and damp in your skin tight jeans dying to be touched. Your free hand cups his flushed cheek, admiring his dropped jaw, his pinched brow as he calls out to you.
“Oh shit hun…shit…”
Resting his head back with droopy lids Bucky let’s you take him, fixated on your fist attentively stroking his veiny girth.
“Fuck you’re so big.” So big your mouth waters as you join in watching his dick throb between your tight fingers. Opening your mouth over his lap, you dangle your tongue out and drool all down its head and your boney knuckles gliding over his taught skin.
“Awwwwfuuuuck.” Bucky chokes on an erotic groan, rolling his eyes into the back of his skull.
“Dunno if I can take all of you,” you whisper against his lips, stroking him faster, harder, kissing back all his longing groans, “might be too much.”
Shit he wouldn’t have guessed that this kind of girl was inside you when talkin to Steve. Damn near cock starved and it had to be all his fault. All his ruthless teasing had you wild out in these streets. Looks like Steve had a right to be worried…and he really needs to put you down soon. As for now though, Bucky will take care of that for him. He soothes his gloved hand around to your front, pinching the button a loose.
“Mmm let’s fuckin find out.”
Bucky damn near rips your skinny jeans off you, forcing you to stand so he can tear them down to your ankles as you breathlessly yank off your shirt. Tossing it across the room before you’re pulling at the collar of his shirt, anxiously clawing it up his back until you reveal him totally ripped, and heaving. His giant vibranium arm glistening in the low light. You can’t help but trace your fingers down the cool metal, wander at him with bated breaths. As you marvel, Bucky takes you by the hips and jerks you back on top of him.
“Like what you see hun?” He comments about your gaping with a smirk, easing you towards his rigid cock thrilled to be near your fluttering folds.
Nodding urgently you bite back a moan, the tip of his dick traces up and down your slit. He’s hotter than Steve. Fuck, you want him to be hotter than Steve but really you can’t tell who’s. Something about them both…you can’t explain it but they both had you stuck.
“Oh my god!” You gasp clutching the back of the couch as Bucky busts through and just the tip has you gushing. “Oh god you’re so fuckin hot Bucky!”
The more he fills your rippling walls, the wetter you get and within a snap, he’s filled you to the brim with a surprised gasp. Sloppily kissing up and down your neck Bucky’s so proud of you.
“There you go hun, yeah baby,” he congratulates in a hush, nipping at your skin as he slightly pumps you. “Feels good doesn’t it…”
You fist and pull his hair, every inch of you on fire. “So fuckin good!” You scratch his scalp as he rocks your hips back and forth for you. “Oh fuck use me. Use me Bucky please.”
Those words you fantasized about using on Steve. God most nights when you came home drunk that’s what you wanted. For Steve to take you, fuck you senseless. Forcing you to be quiet with his massive hand over your wailing mouth so you won’t wake your mom. Fuck what you wouldn’t do for his dick to be inside you just once, fucking you with finesse like his best friend here.
“Jesus Christ!” You shiver as Bucky pops his hips into your creamy pussy.
“Don’t think about him.” Bucky grumbles grabbing you by the back of your neck, pulling you in for a hard passionate kiss. Him? How does he know… “I’m fucking you. Not Steve.” He picks up the pace, hissing at your puckered lips.
“What-” You try to ask but you’re distracted by Bucky playing at your clit. Distracted by a familiar voice coming through the door.
“Not much longer.”
Whipping your head around with a dropped jaw you find Steve coming towards you and Bucky with a sick grin, unbuttoning his shirt and stepping out his shoes.
“FUCK! Steve! Oh my god!” You whimper at Bucky biting and sucking at your nipple, distracting you again from your confusion. His tongue feels insane swirling and tugging around your sensitive nub you fail to notice Steve, buck naked, standing at your side, cradling the back of your head with a soft smile.
“Relax baby girl…” He guides his fingertips over your dry parted lips, slipping them in one by one over your wiggling tongue. “Not mad…just wanna fuck the taste out of your mouth.”

so glad you touched on this because the black manosphere CONTANTLY says any black woman who wears her natural hair, has decent hygiene and is a healthy weight 'dates white men' in order to pretend like black men get the scraps (such a disgusting viewpoint) because black women hate them so much. "look !! even our best don't want us because they only get in shape and moisturize their scalps for conner !!! this is why we hate them !! this is why we commit femicide and leave them single mothers !!" so pathetic and embarrassing. it's like cuck fantasies on steroids. 99% of black women worship black men, so they're literally only saying it because they want people to pity them and sympathize with their misogynoir.
fjslakfjlfj why did i read the dialogue in the fresh and fit dude voices ... what even happened to them ... dead, i hope ...
what you wonderful women need to really internalize is that so many men, especially the insecure ones who make up the manosphere, are like toddlers. they're always going to cry and whine and complain when they don't get their way, or when they see another toddler (grown ass man) in "possession" of something they want, be it a car or a pair of sneakers or a beautiful girlfriend/wife. the (rhetorical) snot starts running down their faces as they get themselves all worked up over why tommy has a lolly but i don't. you can't engage in discourse with them, just as you can't engage in discourse with a toddler, because until they learn that they don't always deserve the things they desire by the mere fact of their existence (entitlement), they're not capable of having a rational conversation.
and let's say it again: black women are the most racially "loyal" group, demographically, in america. black women don't date outside the race, and the reward for that has been these dudes taking them for granted. the very, very few black women who do fall for a non-black man are the ones these perpetually-envious men want, simply because they can't have them. they're outliers. these toddler ass men already have the frankly unconditional love and support of millions of black women, but their own internalized racism and their rabid misogyny makes them only assign value to women white men find desirable (or, what they perceive as "she's so hot a white man would fuck her." which is insane way to frame your own desire, through a mirror of your oppressor's desires, but ok). it's giving cuck.
people get on my ass for being sexually attracted to white men, but i could never love white men the way black men love them. like their pets, or perhaps an over-eager little brother, wanting so badly to impress kyle, to have his attention and approval. do you think my girlfriend is pretty, kyle? she looks like you 🥺 are my daughters light enough, kyle? you can say nigga if you want, kyle, it's cool, you're my nigga. you're the dopest dude ever ... and what about me? do you think i'm dope, too? are we homies? we good? am i good?
sunken place ass dudes lmao. die down in that hole boy and stay there until you grow the fuck up

2022 book post FINALLY
this post is six weeks late because, frankly, i was on my honeymoon over new years and its hard to get up the will to type all this shit when everyone has already posted their book lists ages ago!! but also i read a lot of good books last year and wish to gloat, so here we are. italics are rereads, bold are my favorites, asterisks denote not-prose, and reviews are interspersed throughout as i felt like it:
January
No One is Talking About This - Patricia Lockwood (this book made me cry so hard lmao. first part is a sickeningly true-to-life depiction of Being A Blue Check Person and then the second part makes you cry so bad.)
Sorrowland - Rivers Solomon (what the fuck happened to the last third of this book? what shit-ass x-men knock-off did it come from?)
What Soldiers Do: Sex and the American GI in World War II France - Mary Louise Roberts (got on a whole ww2 history kick because, gotta be real, i watched all of band of brothers during winter break 2021-2022 and developed a bug up my ass. pulled this off the shelf at the library on a whim and it was STUNNING. excellently, thoroughly told history of sex, venereal disease, and race among american GIs in normany following the invasion. would read anything roberts now.)
How to Blow Up a Pipeline - Andreas Malm
Hello, Sailor: The hidden history of gay life at sea - Paul Baker and Jo Stanley
Coming Out Under Fire: The History of Gay Men and Women in World War II - Allan Berube (another excellent ww2 book, frequently quoted on this site and for good reason. not written by a historian, so incredibly easy and engaging to read, that presents you with just this amazing overview of how modern american queer identity was totally, inextricably shaped by the us military and the experience of being part of it or even just near it lmao)
February
Possession - A.S. Byatt (really really lovely romance that was such a consistent pleasure to read that i got to the end basically unable to remember favorite lines or even scenes i was just like mmmmmmmm. book good.)
Uncanny Valley - Anna Wiener
Howl’s Moving Castle - Diana Wynne Jones
The Verge: Reformation, Renaissance, and Forty Years that Shook the World - Patrick Wyman (this book sucked ass we gotta stop giving podcasters history books)
Watership Down - Richard Adams (so fucked up. loved this. love that we give this to children to read.)
Dead Collections - Isaac Fellman
March
The Hidden Palace - Helene Wecker (much better than its prequel, imho! resolved many pacing issues but lost no heart!)
The Vanishing Half - Britt Bennet (part of the reason i managed to read so much this year is that i had to drive a lot for work and started putting audiobooks on in the car, having never been an audiobook person before. i listened almost entirely to contemporary litfic this way, a genre i also had not previously engage with, and this was both a fascinating entry into an entire other world of books and also kinda boring sometimes lmao. vanishing half was good, certainly better than some of the other stuff i ended up listening to, but still not something i would have finished if i weren't in the car)
The Reformation - Patrick Collinson (this bitch was so funny his preface to the book was 'i didn't list any sources because i've been teaching this topic for 60 years. the source is Me.' anyways almost totally unreadable but did provide me some good context on the counter-reformation, which i want to learn more about.)
Fleischman is in Trouble - Taffy Brodesser-Akner

Fifth Elephant - Terry Pratchett
May
Mexican Gothic - Silvia Moreno-Garcia (strongly eh.)

ACTUAL PLOT POINT THAT THERE AREN'T ENOUGH METALS ON THE PLANET TO MINT COINS???? reader i lost my mind.)
June
All the Pretty Horses - Cormac McCarthy (all the pretty horses my insane high school problematic fave. i will never read the sequels)
Have His Carcase - Dorothy L. Sayers
The Power - Naomi Alderman (as i said on private twitter after rereading, this book makes me sick to my stomach not because of the gender shit, which is like, i know what the book's about that's what it's about it's not gonna be a different book, but christ it's so bleak. love an oral history style but i gave my copy away once i finished lmao.)
Murder Must Advertise - Dorothy L. Sayers
July
Such a Fun Age - Kiley Reid (great audiobook narrator, and a very funny book)
Several People are Typing - Calvin Kasulke (PLEASE LISTEN TO THIS AUDIOBOOK THEY HIRED A FULL RADIO-PLAY STYLE CAST AND SURE THE ACTUAL STORY DOESN'T STICK THE LANDING BUT IT'S SO FUNNY. i finished it on my own and immediately put it back on for emma to enjoy. so good.)

Hawk Mountain - Conner Habib (oughhhhouguhughuhghh the dread. great book. wretched creeping horror. queer, if that matters. gives you the Dread.)

An Immense World: How Animal Senses Reveal the Hidden Realms Around Us - Ed Yong (ed yong is the best science writer working today and this book was tremendous. i quoted like every other line of it to emma and she still went and borrowed it as soon as i was done. we immediately bought a copy for the house.)
Sheer Misery: Soldiers in Battle in WWII - Mary Louise Roberts
September
Black Sun - Rebecca Roanhorse (damn so much modern sff is bad)
I Contain Multitudes: The Microbes Within Us and a Grander View of Life - Ed Yong (not as good as the animal book but still VERY good)
Dark Rise - C.S. Pacat (unfuckingreadable. a masterclass of incoherent bullshit)

Winter Counts - David Heska Wanbli Weiden
Neuromancer - William Gibson (loved so many individual sentences and, like foundation, a very interesting work for understanding the history of the genre. however in many ways, totally incomprehensible.)
total books: 66!!! nice work, me! really enjoyed how much i read in 2022 and how generally varied it was and after a long while of not reading too much at all, it's been very nice being back in the swing of it. also god non-fiction is so good. i can't read it particularly fast but every time i read a good one i enjoy it so immensely. look forward to reading more of it this year!!!
AND, FINALLY, A SHOUT OUT TO THE WORST DNF OF 2022:
The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab sucks shit.

So, I'm rewatching LotR a lot these days and during The Two Towers, Denethor (Boromir's dad) is super dismissive of Faramir, insults him and his abilities, and pushes Boromir to go and try to bring the Ring back to Gondor. It's clear he's abusive, in the way that they avoid looking him directly in the eyes and how neither want him around. They're visibly uncomfortable and upset, even though they do try to tell him to fuck off.
And I'm like, wow, if these movies came out today, there would be too many people on this website who see this behaviour and say "You know, Denethor's not actively hitting them, so he's clearly not abusive!!"
I was expecting racists to come crawling out of the woodwork. I was not expecting people to see blatantly abusive behaviour and say "That's not that bad, let's see Sally's bruises."
all my homies hate denethor. how he treats his sons is a very clear golden-child and scapegoat dynamic. such blatant favoritism is abusive too.
it's been, uh, interesting to see the reaction to the changes to gabe. in the books i found him to be an over the top abusive step dad trope. he's like a greasy car sales man. i was always reminded of danny devito's mr wormwood from the 1996 adaptation of matilda.
i read the percy jackson books when i was 20 and was always personally deeply uncomfortable with the underlying "stay with your abuser for your kid" that was simmering under the sally and gabe relationship in the books.
it made me uncomfortable because i had lived it. my parents separated mere weeks after i had turned 18 and my mother has explicitly told me one of the reasons she hadn't divorced my father sooner was because of me.
that shit does stuff to you as a person. kids are smart but they also internalize things and it's not always the right things.
sally doesn't need to suffer to keep percy safe. suffering for righteousness or martyrdom smacks of puritanical ideology that's very pervasive in the america consciousness.
what i saw on screen with gabe and sally was an intimately familiar abusive and dysfunctional relationship. i appreciated the changes as to me it appeared that in the 20 years since rick had written the lightening thief he had reflected on what he wanted to polish and change from the book.
i think the changes to gabe's storyline also might be connected into how medusa seems to be getting a more sympathetic storyline.
gabe is still an abusive shitty person and he doesn't have to physically harm sally to be that way and who knows maybe he still is. physical abuse doesn't have to happen all the time. it can be infrequent too.
some of the comments i've read online have felt very "sally isn't beat enough and cowering so gabe isn't abusive." or "sally was able to stand up to him so he's not abusive" but off the top of my head:
gabe was shown as being a lay about with unreliable income leeching off sally financially yet still refers to the apartment as "his" house. this says he sees her money and assets as his.
he answers sally's phone which indicates a lack of boundaries and privacy for sally. he even indicates that he answers "whatever" is ringing in "his" house.
he's aggressively argumentative with the super, sally and percy.
he insults percy's intelligence and applauds the idea that percy physically assaulted another child.
sally has to negotiate use of the car to have time away from the home.
i'm sorry if this isn't abusive enough to some people i guess.
