#clear the shelters

[totally-not-an-awkward-okapi]

Preparing for Clear the Shelters by doing sidewalk art around the shelter- for most of these I just did the line art and the team colored then, except for Barbie who I circled back to work on some details for, the poster where I did everything but the text, and Stitch who was all me.

something something one of those those "Jango falls for Courtesan/Stripper/NightclubSinger/TrophyWife!Obi-Wan" AUs...

But instead Obi-Wan actually being a sex worker, he's undercover and still a Jedi, and either:

They split ways and run into each other a few months later with Obi-Wan in full Prude Beige Knight mode OR

The situation goes pear-shaped while they're still flirting and Obi-Wan has to break cover to grab a senator and jump out a window and suddenly this half-dressed glittery Person is batting away shots with a lightsaber and there's a bratty twelve-year-old who ALSO has a lightsaber threatening people with I Will Eat Your Liver if they keep staring at his dad's ass just because the sequined sheathe dress tore in a sexy place

#jangobi #jango fett #obi wan kenobi #anakin skywalker #star wars #phoenix talks #undercover au #undercover as sex worker #to be clear: I do enjoy sex worker AUs both as a form of entertainment and in their surprising weight in normalization of sex work #they've done an unprecedented amount of work humanizing the profession #for sheltered young people who might have otherwise needed a lot longer to get over their prejudices #and while in my case I started on that path of Recognizing People As People through reading firsthand accounts by sex workers online #the impact that sex worker AUs have had on that whole situation is not to be dismissed #but also they're just fun to read? they're entertaining in the way any profession-based AU can be #I'm just as eager to read a sex work AU as I am to read a senator AU or racer au or college professor au etc #...anyway I just realized that the original post could theoretically be read as 'sex worker AUs bad' and I don't want anyone to think that

i love it when fandom infantilizes characters to the point of denying them their own agency.

"if people in cang qiong had treated shen jiu differently-" do you have any evidence that they mistreated him? or is it too hard a pill to swallow that shen jiu was the one who decided to close himself off and be an asshole. that cang qiong treated him just fine, that his martial siblings tolerated him to the point that even when he was suspected of murder nothing was done to him?

who forced shen jiu to abuse luo binghe? to abuse other disciples? those were his decisions, that was him acting in a position of power.

the moral of the story is not "shen jiu was misunderstood :(" the moral is: the person who was abused can also become an abuser. the one who suffers violence can be violent towards others. you, despite what you've gone through, have the capacity for kindness and cruelty. so be wise on how you decide to act, because your pain doesn't justify hurting others, and your actions will have consequences.

you have agency, you have whatever amount of power you have over your own life and the things you do have an impact in the lives of those around you and yourself. so maybe try being at the very list neutral to the world and yourself, if you can't be kind.

but no, shen jiu's mentality was "since I suffered, they deserve to suffer too". and by taking that path he perpetuated the cycle of abuse.

bingge is the same, because he could have stopped at taking revenge on shen jiu, but he decided to involve the whole sect and the rest of the world, no matter who was innocent. he was unnecessarily cruel, but so was his master.

both shen jiu and bingge had the capacity for some form of "niceness" (in the way they treated women), so it wasn't as if they'd never known some form of love. at some point in their lives, they stopped being abused children and became abusive adults.

and that's an expression of human behaviour that we have to accept as possible. the svsss narrative invites us to examine ourselves in this light, to witness our capacity for both love and hate, to realize that even in the most adverse of circumstances, there's always a small sliver of agency over how we feel and how we act. that, despite the things that defines us from birth through childhood, our decisions also define what we'll become in the future.

#svsss #svsss meta #shen jiu #this is something that's also very common irt how some people view anakin skywalker #they want to blame everything on the jedi when the narrative makes it clear that it was his own decisions and actions that #pushed him to the dark side #there are a lot of parallels between anakin and sk and bingge in this regard #i think there's a generation of people who were too sheltered and infantilized through a big portion of their lives and that had #very little power over their life through childhood and teenage years #and have no learn to be emotionally independent even after becoming legal adults #and end up projecting this kind of thinking in fiction #idk it's just a theory

[communistkenobi]

so cool that a bunch of losers on here screamed at me for weeks bc I said the word detransition has transphobic connotations and now prageru is publishing ads on twitter about #detrans stories uwu

#this is not new to be clear detrans as a word has had this baggage for a very long time and is used widely by the press #but this is again a case of sheltered internet bubble behaviour that does not interact with the cis world as it exists in real life

Today, Deltarune fandom, I present to you: the potential inspiration for the bunker/shelter south of Hometown, brought to my attention by a friend of mine who's a Massachusetts local.

Discuss :)

i for one would like to know where this "family therapist bearing everyone's feelings" mikey fanon even comes from

to say nothing for "raph and leo were having constant terrible arguments and poor baby mikey was so upset and traumatized about it that he curled up hidden away in donnie's lab where donnie comforted him, powerless to do anything about the fighting" bc like

well the family therapist thing fascinates me but i think i've talked about that and why it doesn't read true to me before.

and the pre-movie raph and leo fighting so bad headcanon stuff, though, bugs me doubly hard bc i would assume that start of movie is like. as bad as it got for that tension. the breaking point. like, lecturing and needling that didn't come to a full head (raph punching out leo's wall and then trying to square up w leo) until leo specifically messed up a mission that involved the foot clan (which i would imagine is kind of a trigger point seeing as the last result of "foot clan gathers mysterious artifacts" was "the world almost ends, we lost our home, gram gram died in front of us, we nearly lost our dad etc").

like. mikey was fine as anything blowing off training w leo! he was having a grand ol time, doing his best lil bro copycatting of leo's smugness, playing the "every time raph says hero take a bite of pizza" game no complaints, no looks of doubt. heck, donnie's fine going along with the goofing off too! when raph follows leo into his room to try to talk to him, mikey and donnie both straight-up have their faces pressed to the window to try to eavesdrop! they both look equally freaked out about the sudden escalation to Big Punch!

like idk the evidence is just not there for me to buy the fanon interpretation on this one. there's no world where mikey and donnie wouldn't get fed tf up and stick their noses in that business if it was so upsetting imo. i think everyone's movie characterization suffers a little bit overall tho tbh, that's a whole other post though

#rottmnt #rottmnt movie #rise of the tmnt #rottmnt mikey #idk man there's just. #a character being more emotionally open than his fam doesnt automatically make him the family therapist #esp when a lot of what we do get of the dynamics in show makes it pretty clear mikey is 100% The Baby and sheltered #like it kind of grates on him even esp coming from raph! bc he WANTS to be seen as on more even ground etc

"I'd rather fight life-and-death fights for money from childhood to adulthood, have no friends, have no knowledge whatsoever of the land I've lived my whole life on, not know anything about my mother and barely anything about my father, not know my own birthday, and be randomly left with who-knows-who as my father goes who-knows-where without me for unspecified amounts of time, than EVER be sheltered due to being sickly. Because the former is a LIFE and the latter is NO LIFE AT ALL."

-Signed, people who think Byleth (before entering Garrag Mach) had a better life than Sitri

#like bruh thinkin' about ByIeth’s life for literally two seconds makes it clear they were raised shittily #and that their life growing up was literally nowhere near ''better'' than S.itri's #how much copium do you have to huff to think Child Fighting For Their Life For Money is better #than Sickly Woman Who Is Sheltered in terms of quality of life

Oh that's my bad, I'm sorry. I completely forgot we possibly killed soldiers on our way to fight Duncan. I think mine did. Definitely.

It's going to be interesting to see our Hunter deal with having that innocence stripped from them, and how it''ll evolve and change them, for good or ill.

If we fight more humans down the line there's a strong chance the Hunter will realise that it's easier killing them than it is monsters. I'm sure that won't affect the Humanity system too much or anything...

yes the hunter is going to be maturing quite a bit throughout the events of the game in more ways than one. of course they've been on the receiving end of violence & are very aware of the attitudes some people have (and they're aware of the inequality between the north and the south and in places like blackwater) but they've lived in the north most of their life and have focused much of their time on just surviving. so it'll be interesting as they travel with these new companions and see their new perspectives, along with the escalating tensions within Adrania and with Gael, too.

#it sounds silly calling the hunter naive or sheltered but it's more like.... #they just have the 'it is what it is' attitude #whereas people like merry and noel are very much of the belief that they can change things if they fight back #which is just something the hunter has never considered before as an option #the realization of 'oh! i can do something about this actually. things should be better actually' #also i believe there's a line in some variations where the hunter thinks killing humans is just the same as killing everything else #which is what disturbs them so much.... #and just a caveat to make it clear that the hunter won't have the option to become like a ruthless killer lol #and killing soldiers in that fight doesnt currently effect your humanity or anything since it's not a choice #ask #anonymous

from a comics perspective, i don't think miguel is like. Naturally Good with little little kids to any degree but he also doesn't want to be a Dick so whenever he must interact with a small child you can Tell it's kinda stiff and awkward and formal on his end. like watching Sim Interaction. if he gets overwhelmed he just picks up the offending youth like a sack of potatoes and immediately hands them off to somebody more capable and then he Leaves

#talking tag #spider-man 2099 #spiderman 2099 #miguel o'hara #to be Clear it is more of. like. a lack of Exposure kinda thing than anything else 2 me. #funnier side effect of isolation leaving him relatively sheltered: If Miguel Doesn't Know What To Do he just Stops and Idles like a sim #and also like a sim when he is done interacting he is DONE. #fight or flight? babey he already started walking away before you could even ask #school aged kids are Fine you can distract them by bringing up cool dinosaurs but toddlers Scare Him.
