#he's so clearly affected by it

[inkskinned]

the thing is that they're so fascinated by sex, they love sex, they can't imagine a world without sex - they need sex to sell things, they need sex to be part of their personality, they need sex to prove their power - but they hate sex. they are disgusted by it.

sex is the only thing that holds their attention, and it is also the thing that can never be discussed directly.

you can't tell a child the normal names for parts of their body, that's sexual in nature, because the body isn't a body, it's a vessel of sex. it doesn't matter that it's been proven in studies (over and over) that kids need to know the names of their genitals; that they internalize sexual shame at a very young age and know it's 'dirty' to have a body; that it overwhelmingly protects children for them to have the correct words to communicate with. what matters is that they're sexual organs. what matters is that it freaks them out to think about kids having body parts - which only exist in the context of sex.

it's gross to talk about a period or how to check for cancer in a testicle or breast. that is nasty, illicit. there will be no pain meds for harsh medical procedures, just because they feature a cervix.

but they will put out an ad of you scantily-clad. you will sell their cars for them, because you have abs, a body. you will drip sex. you will ooze it, like a goo. like you were put on this planet to secrete wealth into their open palms.

they will hit you with that same palm. it will be disgusting that you like leather or leashes, but they will put their movie characters in leather and latex. it will be wrong of you to want sexual freedom, but they will mark their success in the number of people they bed.

they will crow that it's inappropriate for children so there will be no lessons on how to properly apply a condom, even to teens. it's teaching them the wrong things. no lessons on the diversity of sexual organ growth, none on how to obtain consent properly, none on how to recognize when you feel unsafe in your body. if you are a teenager, you have probably already been sexualized at some point in your life. you will have seen someone also-your-age who is splashed across a tv screen or a magazine or married to someone three times your age. you will watch people pull their hair into pigtails so they look like you. so that they can be sexy because of youth. one of the most common pornography searches involves newly-18 young women. girls. the words "barely legal," a hiss of glass sand over your skin.

barely legal. there are bills in place that will not allow people to feel safe in their own bodies. there are people working so hard to punish any person for having sex in a way that isn't god-fearing and submissive. heteronormative. the sex has to be at their feet, on your knees, your eyes wet. when was the first time you saw another person crying in pornography and thought - okay but for real. she looks super unhappy. later, when you are unhappy, you will close your eyes and ignore the feeling and act the role you have been taught to keep playing. they will punish the sex workers, remove the places they can practice their trade safely. they will then make casual jokes about how they sexually harass their nanny.

and they love sex but they hate that you're having sex. you need to have their ornamental, perfunctory, dispassionate sex. so you can't kiss your girlfriend in the bible belt because it is gross to have sex with someone of the same gender. so you can't get your tubes tied in new england because you might change your mind. so you can't admit you were sexually assaulted because real men don't get hurt, you should be grateful. you cannot handle your own body, you cannot handle the risks involved, let other people decide that for you. you aren't ready yet.

but they need you to have sex because you need to have kids. at 15, you are old enough to parent. you are not old enough to hear the word fuck too many times on television.

they are horrified by sex and they never stop talking about it, thinking about it, making everything unnecessarily preverted. the saying - a thief thinks everyone steals. they stand up at their podiums and they look out at the crowd and they sign a bill into place that makes sexwork even more unsafe and they stand up and smile and sign a bill that makes gender-affirming care illegal and they get up and they shrug their shoulders and write don't say gay and they get up, and they make the world about sex, but this horrible, plastic vision of it that they have. this wretched, emotionless thing that holds so much weight it's staggering. they put their whole spine behind it and they push and they say it's normal!

this horrible world they live in. disgusted and also obsessed.

#this shifts gender so much bc it actually affects everyone #yes it's a gendered phenomenon. i have written a LOT about how different genders experience it. that's for a different post. #writeblr #ps my comments about seeing someone cry -- this is not to shame any person #and on this blog we support workers. #at the same time it's a really hard experience to see someone that looks like you. clearly in agony. and have them forced to keep going. #when you're young it doesn't necessarily look like acting. it looks scary. and that's what this is about - the fact that teens #have likely already been exposed to that definition of things. because the internet exists #and without the context of healthy education. THAT is the image burned into their minds about what it looks like. #it's also just one of those personal nuanced biases - #at 19 i thought it was normal to be in pain. to cry. to not-like-it. that it should be perfunctory. #it was what i had seen. #and it didn't help that my religious upbringing was like . 'yeah that's what you get for premarital. but also for the reference #we do think you should never actually enjoy it lol' #so like the point im making is that ppl get exposed to that stuff without the context of something more tender #and assume .... 'oh. so it's fine i am not enjoying myself'. and i know they do because I DID. #he was my first boyfriend. how was i supposed to know any different #i didn't even have the mental wherewithal to realize im a lesbian . like THAT used to suffering.

I was thinking about the 5 year anniversary video and

it is interesting to me how Patton kind of decided for Logan what his role in the "family" would be. all the other sides chose it themselves, but he didn't get to.

even when he actively objects it's played for laughs and never addressed. this happened too when Patton revealed his name for him, and I just think it's interesting to note that after all these years, Logan still never gets to decide anything when it comes to Thomas, or even himself, to an extent. it's just kind of decided for him and he is expected to just go along with it, similar to how it was when Thomas dyed his hair.

ik it's mainly a "haha wine mom" moment, but that doesn't take away from how angsty it gets when you think about it.

#btw this is not meant as a judgement of Thomas as a creator #I just think it is an interesting character dynamic that leads to lots of angst #and seeing it shown so well and clearly is a treat #this also isn't Patton hate #I don't think he has any bad intentions #I think he is just a bit oblivious to how much his actions affect Logan #this is more of a general light sides not being the best to him thing #sanders sides #logan sanders #ts logan #logan angst #tw angst #tw alcohol #tw alchoholism mention #sasi #thomas sanders

🗣 HOUSES PROBLEM IS NOT THAT HE LACKS EMPATHY, IT'S THAT HE HAS TO MUCH OF IT

#Here's your annual reminder #I've made posts like this before but I will scream it from the rooftops until the day I die #House does not avoid patients because he doesn't care #He avoids patients because he cares to much and if he meets them be will become to emotionally invested #And it will cloud his judgement and he won't be able to see clearly and it will affect his ability to properly diagnose and help #House has so much empathy it's insane #I despise the whole “House has no empathy it's why he's so cold.

I want more people to make Nü Wa also Wukong’s mom because she also created him in one of the myths and if that’s the route we’re going for no fucking wonder he’s got so many issues

But I also fear that if Season 5 does this they’re all going to go “of course he has mommy issues” like ok he was also groomed, forced to partake in a fight he didn’t even want to do, is actually doing great as a mentor and is a somewhat good role model to Xiaotian and has taught him how to be controlled and capable and is clearly proud of him and has been effectively trying to change as a person

But sure let’s focus on the mommy issues and not the serious aspect of how Nü Wa not only did this again but also is no different from the other people in Heaven who do nothing for the mortals and immortals that have suffered because of their lack of care towards them and only imprison or attack them because they… attack Heaven directly.

Demon Bull King and Sun Wukong hold no grudges because they were victims of a very weird and messed up system; I hope Erlang gets punched in the face by them both

#think pan #comeback kid #lego monkie kid #and by ‘no wonder hes got so many issues’ i mean #not even his creator tried to help him and simply wathced him get used and thrown around like a sword in a training room #in a war room #like swk is clearly messed up and complicated and a lot of the gods think hes reckless #well celestials* #out of all people guanyin was the one who helped him the most #NOT nuwa #nuwa has a small habit of dipping after creating something that vastly affects heaven and earth ngl

Concerned, worried, sad, confused, stressed, average reaction ! 👍🏻

Frightened, terrified, will never sleep properly again, anxious, depressed, about to die, Usopp slipping through his fingers, trying to reach out, heart breaking into a million pieces, understanding, seeing himself in Usopp, about to have the worst panic attack, restless, not normal or average reaction, insane-

#sanji your favoritism is showing #sanjiiiiiiiii taking you to therapy #no bc for real what was this he is clearly so much more affected than the rest he is crazy i love him #SEE WHAT I MEAN WHEN I SAY SANJI IS NOT NORMAL AROUND USOPP #the rest of the crew are having normal heartbreaking reactions #this guy looks like he wants to die #one piece #black leg sanji #water 7 #sanuso

i'm sorry but this is sending me into the goddamn stratosphere, if you send people to physically attack my mom, torture my sister, cut my six year old son's head off, threaten to murder my toddler, and then also threaten to rape my six year old daughter, i would be very happy and jovial in declaring war on your psycho ass for pulling that shit on people who literally didn't do a thing to you.

consequently, if i sent people to physically attack someone who never did me any harm, torture my sister who never did me any harm, cut my six year old nephew who never did me any harm's head off, threaten to murder my toddler nephew who never did me any harm, and also threaten to rape my six year old niece who never did me any harm, i would be very full of regret and sorrow for what i've done, because those are bad things that i did.

#personal #house of the dragon #hotd #like yeah no SHIT aegon's super gung-ho to carpet bomb rhaenyra and her side #you murder my kid and beat up my mom and make my sister go crazy and literally threaten to RAPE MY SIX YEAR OLD #i'll go apeshit i'll have the time of my life talking about how you're gonna suffer i'll be happy as a clam about it #like rhaenyra should absolutely feel bad and fear what she started! what she started was monstrous! #and by not thoroughly denouncing daemon and removing him from her side for it she's clearly endorsing it! #and people have the right to be happy about causing her bodily harm as a result for either tacitly or outright endorsing things like this #you know things like child murder and threats of violent rape against little girls #(and i mean even just the bad precedent to set of 'you did something that hurt me so i have the right to take it out') #('not on you or anyone who supported you but civilians who weren't even remotely involved in the situation at all') #like come on rhaenyra's side is in the wrong for blood and cheese and it's so fine for aegon (as the person most deeply affected by it) #to be happy about any retribution he could bring on her #just as it is both fine and actually really good for rhaenyra as a character to feel bad about it #as the wrongful party #be fucking for real

so much for (tour) dust, the healing tour of all time

#it’s fine like whatever #it doesn’t even affect me #im totally absolutely completely chill about it!! #and i had to cut it out but after they played cfc pete made a point of saying “andy hurley's been dying to play that one” #and he seemed so happy after they played 27 the first time and pavlove the other night #just like....the fact that patrick seemingly had himself thoroughly convinced that the rest of the band hated the record #or they weren't proud of it or didn't really like how it came out #or that he “pushed them too far in a direction they didn't want to go” #but they clearly love the album and wanted to play it and have it be appreciated by the audience just like he did #whatever!! #it's fine!! i'm FINE!!!!! #and thinking about the fact that there was a chorus of people yelling for pavlove when pete said they were gonna play the Holy Grail #im gonna be SICK #also there’s one clip that’s not tourdust …. it’s from when they played headfirst slide the first time in the uk this year #but idc same energy same vibes same ✨healing✨ #fall out boy #fob #patrick stump #pete wentz #joe trohman #andy hurley #so much for (tour) dust #tourdust

Now that they can, would they want to spend a lot of time together? (Patreon)

#Doodles #Adventure Time #Fionna and Cake #Simon Petrikov #Marceline #Hhhh I feel so bad for both of them 💔 #Obviously Simon misses her since she's like the one tether he still has to ''his'' time - they were both born before all the Everything #And I'm sure Marceline misses Simon too but like - even this Simon isn't ''her'' Simon. They met when he was already affected by the Crown #They clearly love each other when they see each other when Simon is as much himself as he can be! #But I can't help but wonder if it would be painful to spend time with this sad lonely magicless man - and how guilty that would make Simon #He wants to still be a part of her life! But how much of himself does he even have to offer now? #And the guilt would go round and round - she sees it in him and he sees that in her and they just both feel bad! #I really can't blame him for being a little emotionally closed and her being distant - they're not who they were #With all that said I still really love their dynamic <3 They're /not/ who they used to be but they've still got such an interesting relation #I think in the moments that they do have together where they're both trying to be good for each other Marcy would really push her humour ♪ #She's got 1000 years of silliness to get out of her system to her bestie! I'm sure she's got the material hehe #Even if he still sees her as a little girl - I mean that just adds to the joke if she says something a bit blue lol #I don't think he'd actually keep the sharp teeth - it's more of a visual metaphor of how Marceline sees him in these kinds of moments #It's hard to leave it behind!

“were you not hugged enough as a child??” mocks character for whom this is canonically the case

#svsss #scum villain #shen qingqiu #shen yuan #ik chinese cultural norms re: physical affection were discussed in the tags of that other post #but still he Specifically makes this jibe #as if his narration did not explicitly state that binghe was the first person to give him a proper hug #so clearly he is Thinking About It #just. dude #why is he like this

[paranorahjones]

I think it's a pretty fair assumption that Lockwood's primary receiving love language is words of affirmation, considering that in that one deleted scene, Lucy tried to diffuse the awkwardness by complimenting Lockwood's pajamas and he thought it an actual, genuine compliment and responded before his brain could catch up.

Not to mention he challenged Kipps to a bet in which the loser would have had to buy a full page ad in the newspaper and fill it with words of affirmation for the winner, lmao.

And as we all know, his primary giving loving language is touch. Though he is quite adept at acts of service as well.

You know, I'm starting to think that maybe Anthony "Nothing Good Comes From Letting People In" Lockwood's language is just love.

#lockwood & co #lockwood and co #anthony lockwood #lucy carlyle #yes we can all agree that he is touchstarved but that boy craves validation at least as much as he craves affection #also the way he loves is so absolutely without expectation of getting anything back #in his desire to protect himself by not letting anyone in he has ironically shut himself off from expecting love from others #instead of shutting himself off from giving love as purely and diligently as he can #and i don't think he even realizes it #when he was ranting about not letting people in he was referring to not letting HIMSELF believe that he deserves love #he was not referring to a desire to keep people at arms length #because he's clearly terrible at that #anyways that's just a theory #A GAME-

i love how possessive shin yoosung is right out of the gate. like she met kim dokja, what, a couple days ago? but as soon as she sees lee gilyoung she's ready for the thunderdome. babe you don't need to compete with this guy...kim dokja knew him first but did he make lee gilyoung his incarnation? no. he chose you. within hours of meeting you. you could be sooo smug about this but instead you're growling and hissing like a feral kitten. and it's not like kim dokja is much better...he's not possessive but he's all worried that she'll see yoo joonghyuk and go starry-eyed and forget all about her poor ol' sponsor. you're both ridiculous! nobody is a threat to the love you have for each other. dumbasses lol.

#shin yoosung's possessiveness is so endearing to me because the rest of this story is like. completely devoid of any kind of #exclusive possessiveness...like these people love each other so much but never in a way that precludes them from loving #anybody else. and then we have shin yoosung who's ready to throw down on day 1 #and it's not that kdj loves her more than he loves lgy! it's just that lgy is clearly not a threat to her in securing kdj's affection #if anybody should be possessive it should be lgy. and we can't really know how he would have reacted if she hadn't started #the rivalry...but i bet if she had been chill he would have just been like hi wanna see a cool bug?? It's Free Sister #but instead they have this adorable little rivalry over their father figure #orv #omniscient reader's viewpoint #kdj #sys #lgy #my posts #idk will i ever stop thinking about kim dokja and shin yoosung? signs point to not fucking likely

[god-u]

people on twitter are being real weird about chance.. that man is dead so idk what the point in some of those posts are now. if anything i’m really keeping his family in my thoughts. it’s crazy seeing anyone my age go out like that and i’ve lost family the same way. i’ve lost friends from shootings and more. it’s okay for people to feel shock about something like this. you aren’t better than anyone for saying you don’t care because he was *insert -phobic* when you probably have family who disregard your own identity for the same reason but you’d still cry if some shit like this happened to them because of the little good you experienced with them even if the bad outweighed it

#many of whom are still supporting artists who let their music and movies play in israel or constantly listen to abusers #so it’s okay when YOU separate the art from the artist but if you don’t like them then everyone has to hear it?? #saying this as someone who is trans and clearly affected by racism and misogyny #things chance was dumb enough to support before being exposed #if you don’t care just don’t say anything #but you really aren’t as moral as you think you are #if my mom passed of course i’d cry despite being subjected to her abuse growing up and her still denying my identity #that man was not an abuser even if he was shit in other ways as far as i know #it’s easy to keep quiet and literally just say nothing #you can acknowledge both things or simply not speak at all #it’s not hard but we also aren’t going to dismiss the fact that he had terrible beliefs #chance perdomo

Mhok's journey in this show has been so good, the way his life has been shaped by his protectiveness for others. He felt loyal to his friends so he fought with them to protect them and ended up in jail, where he couldn't protect his sister. Now he gets to not only care for and protect Day in a professional way but also as a boyfriend who just gets to cook and care for his partner. Being able to heal some part of himself through caring for Day in a way that he brushed off with Rung (not cooking her favourite meal) and now regrets. It feels like finding someone he is able to protect is paramount to Mhok's healing.

The contrast between Mhok and his love for his sister who raised him and Day and his strained relationship with his brother is so apparent in the last ep. We get to see how deep the hurt goes on Day's part and the last few eps will surely deal with them coming to terms with their anger, guilt and grief in relation to their siblings. That feeling of mixed emotions when dealing with tough relationships and the grief of suicide, it's such an interesting contrast, all the things you wish you could do differently versus the anger of the moment.

#its tastyyyy so many feelingssss #last twilight #last twilight the series #mhokday #morkday #look besties its time to admit but i have succumb to the mHok agenda. i have heard day crying as he says 'p'mhok' TOO MANY TIMES #you can tell this show is affecting me bc i have clearly lost my sensibilities someone lie me in a chaise longue to recover 🥴 #anyway i live for stories that talk about grief bc who knows how to process it #one of lifes biggest hurdles #anyway i have to be up in 5ish hours enough emotional rambling goodNIGHT. get it. night bc his brother.... bye

I'm curious what people think about Victor and Eli's relationship during the Lockland Era. I'm of the opinion that Eli cared about Victor as a person more than Victor cared about him, which isn't to say I don't think Victor cared, but I think his care was a lot more focused on himself and how Eli made *him* feel. This isn't an analysis or anything, really. I don't have evidence from the books to back me. I'm just more sharing a headcannon than anything. If anyone has any thoughts on this please share them I'm curious

#its like #i feel like Victor saw Eli as a puzzle to be solved #he wanted his attention and companionship #but any actual worry or care he has for him is stuffed down so far it only surfaces when he thinks Eli might not come back #And Eli definitely has those moments of selfishness too #but he clearly cared a lot more about Victor's safety than Victor even cared for himself #his feelings are nowhere near entirely selfless but to me it felt like he had a lot more affection(?) for Victor before it all went to shit #which made him even more willing to kill Victor in the end #because in his mind the Victor he knew and loved was already dead #and whoever was left was just a crude imitation wearing his skin #and when that opinion gets called into question he doubles down on it #because he cant handle the idea that this is who Victor really is #or the fact that everything hes done was to his real friend #anyway thats just my take on it #let me know what you think #vengeful ve schwab #vicious ve schwab #victor vale #villains series #eli ever #eli cardale #evervale #vicious #vengeful

Every time I see someone off hand mention that Käärijä’s vocals aren’t that strong, I cringe.

Tell me you’ve only ever seen the esc performances without telling me you’ve only seen the esc performances.

#the audio issues are so blatant and that quite clearly affected his vocals #like watch the umk performance. watch his blackbox gig. his eurovillage gig. anything other than the esc semi and grand finals #be amazed that he is actually incredible #be amazed at the immediate difference in quality #käärijä
