The only reason I have a chasm is cause I have to worry about you bozos 24/7. You just don't get it, Leo. I'm the oldest here. I'm responsible for keeping us safe and making sure we can handle anything that comes our way. Cause If I don't, you could all end up faggots.
[pouring myself a drink from a fancy pitcher] so like it’s simplifying to the point of uselessness to say ‘reading comprehension’ is why people say shit like ‘lolita is problematic!’ because clearly the salient points to consider what aren’t they comprehending and why? and i think it probably lies in an unwillingness to approach critically the cultural understanding of ‘the child predator’ as someone that exists wholly outside society, someone who is an obviously deviant Other that enters from the fringes in order to commit terrible crimes--and so when nabokov puts those crimes into the person of a well-spoken, well-read, ‘respectable’ family man, they respond by saying ’well, this must be a favorable portrayal of child abuse, putting its justifications in the mouth of someone so authoritative and respectable is obviously apologetics’--because they’re unable or unwilling to critically confront the actual idea presented here, that ‘the child predator’ exists within society and is in fact often enabled and abetted by society.
humbert anchoring his attraction to children in the mythology and literature of the Western Canon says, ‘this is embedded in our culture, these are not the acts of an Otherized interloper’--but if you cannot put yourself at a critical distance and dispel the myth of that interloper of course you will read that and say ‘well since all these things are self-evidently good and cannot be the sites of violence, tying humbert to them is nabokov inviting this deviant external evil into the fold of what’s good and accepted’. when of course the call has been coming from inside the house! the entire time!
[i take a sip of my drink--fruity, airy, with hints of earth] so yeah ig to talk seriously about the dynamics of abuse we need to divorce ourselves entirely from the discursive fiction of the ‘child abuser’ as a marginal figure so that we can honestly assess how abuse can be reproduced in the key pillars of our culture and society. but that’s hard so let’s all keep arguing about a vague notion of ‘reading comprehension’ until the earth explodes amen brother [i pour you a drikn from my pitcher and it’s just room temperature coca cola]
did an art trade with @brainrotdotorg!!!! this is a bit from their 5+1 harrykim fanfic !!!! better go give it a read if you wanna know what else happens!!!
Just wanted to give you all a little heads up. I'm going to need to take a bit of time away from being fully active on here for a couple of weeks. I've just been assessed for Autism (already had a diagnosis, but it was never official official so this was just dotting the i's and crossing the t's) and I've had a much stronger reaction to it than I thought I would and I want some space to process.
I've found the fandom of late to be increasingly fractious and toxic and trying to navigate that (which wouldn't normally bother me) whilst processing is going to be more than I can cope with I think and I have to look after my mental health first and foremost.
I will still be watching live and putting out my costume metas, but they may not come as quickly as you'd be expecting (I plan on them being posted before the next episode airs but I'm not going to put pressure on myself to get them out in a certain time frame as I have in the past).
I won't however be responding to any asks in my inbox - it will still be open and I do love reading your thoughts and comments but there are some of you who post anonymously who really need to work on how you word your asks - they come across and demanding and inconsiderate (not to mention the fact I've had a death threat in my ask box recently which was not a fun thing to read) so please take a moment of self reflection to re-read what you're sending before you click the ask button on anyones blog not just mine. I'm only human and a flawed one at that and your tone or what you say can affect me. I also work a full time job and I create art, sew and am trying to write fanfic for the first time in my life - so I don't only blog on here.
I'm not asking for pity etc, I just wanted to let you all know where I'm at and explain why I might be more M.I.A than I have been recently.
Wow this ended up being longer than I'd thought!
Sending you all love and many hugs and thanks for being understanding and for bringing joy to my life over the past few years - I'll be back before you know it!
homestuck mpreg rock opera created by toby fox are words that apparently go together on this BITCH of an earth we live on and moth insisted we listen to all 13 minutes, 55 seconds of it on stream. for your safety i've edited it down so you dont instantly die from the radiation
au where obi-wan is just havin a cup of tea and readin a bit of a book and anakin bursts into his quarters looking halfway to insane and blabbering absolute nonsense and then he just looks at obi-wan and says fuck it and kisses him before he storms back out
meanwhile anakin’s been stuck in a time loop for ages now and he’s halfway to insane because no one remembers anything but him so what if just one day he gives into the urge to kiss/sleep with his master it’s just one time and no one else will remember it!!!
only for the time loop to break because of that kiss and the next day obi-wan is like ?? are we gonna talk about it??
and anakin (having burst in again, thinking this is another reset of the loop) is like ‘what, the fact that that romance novel is yours and not ahsoka’s?’
and obi-wan is like ‘nO (but it is ahsoka’s) im referring to the fact that you shoved your tongue down my throat this time yesterday!!’
