#for EVERY survivor

[bionicboxes]

this is the dynamic they have going on in my head.

#box art #dead by daylight #dbd #mikaela reid #sable ward #the unknown #dbd unknown #dbd the unknown #ive never drawn sable or mikaela and i did it with minimal reference so they might look a little wack lol #brought to you by 'I cant help it but let sables go as unknown and if there's a sable and mikaela i have to let them both go' #i have this thing. where i tend to let go whatever survivor is the killer im playing's counterpart #but its been happening WAY more as unknown because sables try to befriend me so much?? #at least every other round against a sable one of them will try to get me to be friendly with them. and i just cant say no.

It's Valentine's day! You there, browsing the tag. Have you ever thought 'I like Nick Valentine, but I wish he starred in two novels lovingly written in the prose style of a detective noir from 1943, and so help me God, I don't want to pay a cent for it?' No! Nobody has! What an unusually specific dream!

But it's too late, I've already written them.

More than that, I've filled them with art, too.

If this sounds like something you'd like, you can find the full series (the two books and two small side stories) here.

lately i have been a bit miffed by the lack of awareness when it comes to queer characters, and more specifically sapphic characters, in the Star Wars canon. so, in my capacity as the patron saint of lesbian visibility, i've decided to quit whining about it and be the one to spread some knowledge

without further ado.....a very long and obnoxious lesson

now let me tell you about them. in detail. through very specific categories

you don't have anything else to do, right?

CATEGORY ONE: GAY. ON. SCREEN.

they're gay. on screen.

CATEGORY TWO: THE A WORD

Doctor Aphra and her web of lesbianity

CATEGORY THREE: HANDGAYDENS

Padme Amidala and her gay handmaidens

CATEGORY FOUR: THE HIGHLY GAY REPUBLIC

all the many, many queers of the golden age of the jedi

CATEGORY FIVE: VIDEO GAYMES

queers from the Jedi games and related media

CATEGORY SIX: GAY FROM A CERTAIN POINT OF VIEW

characters created for or made queer in the From a Certain Point of View books

CATEGORY SEVEN: COMICALLY QUEER

wlws from comics not involved with Aphra

CATEGORY EIGHT: BOOKED AND GAY

characters who are gay in books, even if nowhere else

whew. still here?

thank you for scrolling all the way through this. if you are interested in talking about any of these people or want to know how to learn more about them on your own, my inbox is always open!!

and seriously folks, if you’re interested in any of them i implore you: read their stories, write fic, make art!!! the more we show that these characters are appreciated and talked about, the more likely we are to get more like them, and hopefully more that are even better and more visible rep

that’s all from me. have a gay day

#this is the result of a day and a half of pure madness #i hope it's worth it #star wars #international lesbian day #nitearmor #wolfwren #(normally i wouldn't do this but y'all are the target audience here) #ahsoka #velcinta #andor #padme amidala #sabedala #nightsister merrin #jedi survivor #jedi fallen order #the high republic #doctor aphra #idk what else to tag without doing every character #which seems excessive even for me #queer characters #wlw #lesbian #my posts #bookmarks

idk why this fandom has such an issue with acknowledging abuse when it isn't Astarion but Gale was pretty obviously abused and groomed and I would rather people in denial of this unfollow me :|

grooming is also not a minor-specific act so trying to use his age as a reason he wasn't abused is pretty dumb and shows both your ignorance and that you don't take abuse on adults seriously. like suddenly cults and brainwashing and power imbalances and human trafficking doesn't exist because you just don't want to see Gale as a survivor of abuse himself lol?

it basically comes down to people being ignorant about what grooming is in wider terms. and even if you want to ignore the actual definition of grooming and how adult survivors are impacted, Mystra is still a GODDESS. if anyone is able to exact a power imbalance on someone equivalent to the traditional child-grooming that you think is the only type to exist, it would be a Goddess to her Chosen

this is also ignoring the fact that he started discovering his powers around 8 and Mystra would have been aware of him immediately?

also-also ignoring Minsc outright describing how magical boys in his village were hidden away from Mystra?

just how is this even an argument? you are simply wrong...

#really though you're all just dumb and uneducated and should stay away from survivors #bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #gale dekarios #gale of waterdeep #fandom critical #you will literally hear the term grooming in fucking legal courts #and in therapy groups #you people are so far removed from the reality of survivors it kind of drives me nuts #literally the only survivors you undeerstand are hamfisted stereotypes like the vsmpire twink #who complain all the time about being survivors and make it perfectlyobvious they're survivors #y'all talk about “the bad survivor” or “the ideal survivor” and completely sleep on how Gale is literally the “bad survivor”trope #and both the game and fandom blame him for it lol #this isn't even an opinion thing btw #because you are factually wrong #you can scream and cry that YOU don't wantto use the word grooming like that #but it doesn't change the fact that every institution that matters #uses the word grooming like that #stop spreading misinfo and being an abuse apologist idk

You can horny post and thirst for Circe and Calypso without making fun of Odysseus, a victim of both, btw. 👍

#You realize you're calling a victim a little bitch right? Do you hear yourself? #You call a man who spent every day crying about wanting to go home and who had his friends held at pig-point names? #A WHORE?! #You could literally just be like “I would love to make potions with my wife Circe” or “Beach life with my wife Calypso” but no. #You had to call the survivor names as well #I love Circe. she's morally gray af and super fun to write but I can think she's cool while knowing she terrified Odysseus. #save me morally gray circe #Mad rambles #shot by odysseus #Mad rants #odysseus #circe #calypso #odyssey #the odyssey #tagamemnon #greek mythology #epic the musical #It makes me want to eat a cactus. It's not cute to do this. #Thirst all you want. I don't care. But you don't have to mock a victim of them to do so. #tw sa mention

and another thing

even if kendrick *had* been molested, how does that make the allegations any lesser? kendrick has every fucking right to be angry about this regardless of his own history with the subject. like what the fuck????

#survivors have every fucking right to their anger #and EVERYONE should be mad regardless if you've lived it or not #kendrick lamar #tw molestation

"...our Senior Producer, Paul Hatfield, had the great idea of wanting to tie in some elements of the current events that Cal was experiencing in Survivor, mixed with the lingering trauma of Cal's memory of Order 66. This led to the through line of utilizing the Koboh matter along with Venator Class Star Destroyers and ship wreckage throughout all of the Force Tear levels. For the Force Tear Arena specifically, I wanted to craft something that fulfilled that narrative while pulling inspiration from Japanese Tea and Zen gardens. I also utilized the Shattered Moon and the iconic rock formations that Kevin Quinn created for the Void in the menu/skill tree UI." - Scott Russell

i think, for trauma survivors, especially those who were emotionally abused, invalidated, or gaslit, it is really important not to underestimate the significance of speaking bluntly about what happened to you. Forcing yourself not to beat around the bush, not to downplay what you went through with your words. say what happened, without any caveats, without any “but it could’ve been worse”, “but i might just be being overdramatic”, “but it wasn’t really THAT bad,” and so forth. sit with the discomfort until you can begin to let yourself realize that it WAS that bad, you WERENT being overdramatic, and even if it could’ve been worse you still didn’t deserve it. It’s almost like a form of reclamation, taking back your memories, taking back your life, even the difficult or gross parts, and refusing to let anyone change the narrative or tell you how you should feel anymore, even yourself. and it hurts and it’s scary and it feels weird and awkward and sometimes you want to convince yourself you’re lying, but i think sitting in those weird feelings and letting yourself admit that you really did go through trauma puts the power back in your hands to process things and be compassionate to yourself while you heal

#like. recently i’ve been reflecting a lot on this trauma i have with this absolutely godawful english teacher i had in grade 7 #he was an absolute creep and even though he never touched me i knew he touched other girls and made even creepier comments to them #than he did to me. and i never really had time to fully understand the gravity of the damage he did to me because i was #so focused on the fact that it could’ve been worse and he never even actually touched me or got that close to me save a few times #but yesterday as i was reflecting on this i finally got myself to admit. i was terrified of him and i was terrified for every fucking minute #that i spent in that class. and i was a child who never should’ve had to deal with that and it’s clear that i still have a lot of problems #from that whole event. and the more times i repeat that and get myself to understand it. the more i’m able to be compassionate to myself now #and patient with myself in the things i struggle with as a result of what happened #childhood trauma #trauma #cptsd healing #cptsd recovery #cptsdawareness #trauma survivor #trauma recovery
