Does Ally feel sorry for betraying Sly’s trust all those years ago?

OOC: good question!

Yes, she does. I think I mentioned in a previous post that Ally was 11 and genuinely just being a stupid kid. Honestly, it wasn't even done maliciously, it was more a "hey I found this out what do you think" cuz she thought it was funny that kit didn't understand the potential consequences of. Another thing to note, kit didn't have feelings for Howie until she was over 12, so this wasn't a jealousy thing. I don't want anyone to assume or perceive Ally as some kind of heartless monster for making a mistake when she wasn't even a teenager yet. She was literally a child.

Nowadays, her clashing with Sly is because of Sly herself's hostility if anything. "Returning the negativity" if that makes sense. She thinks Sly doesn't carry fen's weight and doesn't understand fully just how affected Sly was by the falling out, similar to Howie. She feels bad about what happened but like...

I don't know if everyone realizes that the family doesn't actually know about Sly's depression. The only people who know are their parents because she refuses to talk about it to anyone. If the rest of the family was AWARE of Sly's mental health issues, she would not be treated as just some shut-in, poor hygiene, negative and complaining asshole who constantly yells at everybody. Because that's literally all they see of her.

I think people need to understand that there's a lot of nuance to this situation and nobody involved is a genuinely horrible person

TW for discussion of homophobia.

Hi, Nora! In the spirit of pride month I want to tell the story about how becoming a demon phannie has deprogrammed my bigotry when I was a teen.

I grew up with homophobia being the norm amongst the kids. In my country it was quite precise though, a bit different from what Dan described in BIG. We didn't use "gay" as a synonym for "bad". Boys wouldn't be called gay for crying or liking theater or just being well-behaved. Not in my school at least.

No, there was a clear-cut definition that gays were only the boys who liked boys. But if you fit that definition, if someone knew you fit that definition, then god help you. You would be constantly mocked, bullied and beat up at school. The headmaster would call your parents and tell them to fix their broken little pervert. Your parents reaction could fall anywhere from a stern talk and calling you a disgrace to a beating and sending you to a military type boarding school. Treating a teen this way was perceived as completely normal. Nowadays the kids have thankfully become way more accepting despite our governments best efforts. But now you can also add a visit to the police station to the pile.

Sapphics just didn't exist, as always. That's why when I told my friends "I genuinely think boobs are more attractive than dicks - they are more esthetically pleasing to look at" the only reaction I got was confused laughter and strange looks. No, I did not realize what that said about me back then. It was just foreshadowing.

I remember my parents occasionally saying that it's a sickness and shouldn't be allowed to be demonstrated in any way. Peppering it with the usual "they can do whatever they want behind closed doors". And if people got beat up on the streets for being gay...well they just brought that on themselves by flaunting their sexuality, didn't they?

I lived with that worldview until I was 15 or 16.

Then I started finding out that some famous people were gay. But it only got me to the point of "I like his art, so I won't stop consuming it, despite him being gay". In my mind if you were gay and wanted people to tolerate your existence, you had to be talented in order to justify it. And have the decency to not act gay in public. Yeah, I know, bare with me.

When I found Dan's channel in 2015 I instantly fell in love with his videos. Soon I also started watching Phil and then the gaming channel.

My gaydar was non-existent at the time and, ironically, I was conditioned into thinking that gay people just like to announce that they're gay to everyone. So, since Dan and Phil never did, I just took their word for it. For almost a year I just enjoyed watching their content without a second thought.

Then one day I saw the compilations. The radio show clips. The old videos. That was all it took really. My brain couldn't compute, couldn't connect the "sick perversion" I heard so much about to what I was seeing on my screen. It wasn't unnatural, or disgusting or deliberately demonstrative.  It was fucking beautiful. They simply couldn't help being extremely adorable.

Starting from that day the thought "keep it to yourselves" never occurred to me. I just wanted to be a fly on the wall.

I never dared to write fanfiction or make compilations or, god forbid, directly ask one of them in a qna. I was happy to just lurk and snort that yaoi cocaine in silence.

In hindsight, Dan and Phil were the reason I didn't instantly hate myself after having the first crush on a girl and realizing I was bi in 2018.

Later I got into breadtube and realized just how insane and baseless all those conservative talking points were. But DnP were the sole reason I left that eco-chamber in the first place.

So thank you to Dan and Phil and thank you to all fellow demons 💜

fujoshi-ism saves lives is the thing

no but isn't it odd the way things work out.. the fact that dan and phil were able to help you like that is amazing, and also it's very funny that they did it through the power of rpf

Prompt:

Damian isn’t happy about father’s rule not to hurt the gaggle of false kids he has acquired. How is he supposed to prove to him that he is the only one worthy of the title of heir now?

But fine. Most of them are stupid enough they’ll end up dead sooner or later. Damian just has to play the long game. Establish himself as the only constant.

But then father’s wayward son, Todd, comes home… and it’s so much worse than Damian expected.

He remembers this man. Remembers him from hushed whispers in the League, from mother’s creased eyebrow, and training halls drenched with blood.

And he’ll take one look at Damian and know. Know that he’s a threat to his position.

And the worst thing: Damian isn’t allowed to defend himself.

#Jason has no idea why the baby demon seems to be terrified of him #it’s kinda funny #all he’ll have to do is say boo and the kid very nearly faints on him #it’s less funny when they happen to be the only ones locked in a cell and Damian expects him to murder him in the most brutal fashion #like dang he thought Bruce really had a better opinion of him nowadays #also pls stop trying to stab me baby bat #misunderstandings #miscommunication #Jason doesn’t know what’s wrong with the new Robin but apparently he’s been tasked to keep him alive #and he’s making that friggin hard #jason todd #batfamily #dick grayson #bruce wayne #batfam #robin #red hood #tim drake #batman #prompts #Damian wayne #Damian al ghul #Nightwing #red robin #batdad #Jason and Damian

And now we're gotten to the point terf's are claiming now our choice of toys is biological based, aka somehow our hormones choose our toys I guess.

#uk politics #british politics #cass review #okay by this logic: i'm cis #i liked to play with dolls...but i also liked to play with doctor who toys aka the boy toys #what does that say about my gender terfs #come on now #hell nowadays im into collecting both gender stuff as been collecting MH dolls but also transformers #like out of all the arguments to put in their terf review #that was put in there #wonder what that'll do for future kids who like toys that are deemed the opposite of their gender #since labor wants to implement this shit somehow

also there’s this common misconception that reading is primarily about the book or the subject: this is incorrect. ‘Reading’ is an activity wherein you constantly evaluate your own self worth in increasingly cruel ways against some culturally sanctioned object that is better than you

[sukugo]

This idea is eating my brain. Sukuna being a shameless insatiable freak towards Gojo and an in-denial thirsty freak towards Itadori.

He wants Gojo. He pursues him without relent. Sukuna wants to wreck the man and paint him red all over. He wants to taste his heart and know if he is as sweet as the desserts he gorges himself full with.

Sukuna wants to pry Gojo open and eat him out clean. He wants to climb over him and crawl inside of him. Their bodies becoming one and no one can ever tell where Sukuna start and Gojo ends anymore.

Sukuna desires that more than anything.

But he cannot understand why he sees himself doing it in the body of the brat that once caged him.

Instead of imagining his own four arms bringing Gojo towards his end begging and moaning for mercy he would never receive, Sukuna fancies it to be that of the annoying mouthy fool.

Clumsy hands and eager fingers. Unable to control the strength they possess that they break Gojo in. Cracking bones. Shattering spirits.

Gojo will be quivering. The brat will whimpering. Sukuna will be feasting.

The sweetness of their despair and richness of their blood sit heavy on his tongue. Salty tears spilling from confusion and frustration just makes his mouth water for more.

But what Sukuna craves more from their joining in his fantasy, was the forbidden taste of desire for the impossible and unthinkable - desecration of something sacred and twisting of kindness so profound.

Sukuna wants Gojo through the Brat. It is driving him insane.

SCREAAAAAAAMINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

SHIT THAT'S SOOOOO GOOD OH MY GOD. AND SO SO SO CORRECT

it's a mix of his desire to break yuuji (derogatorily) and break satoru (affectionately) and it mixes up into this absolute mess of feelings for all of them involved and fuuuuuccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

#f.ask #as the kids say nowadays: YOU COOKEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD #fr going insane oh my goddffddddd #like. everytime ive read this since u sent it ive been like 'holy shit' #like gjdfhgksdhkfjrhgfisjioddshiuohdsfuighfksdhjkdfhgsdfdsgs #and it makes so much SENSE. #sukuna wants satoru more than anything. he's the strongest. he wants to break him more than anything. #taste him more than anything. #but at the other hand he DESPISES yuuji. #wants nothing to do with him #wants nothing more than the boy to suffer. and what better way than to make HIM violate the people he loves so much. #his beloved teacher who yuuji loves. with his OWN hands. there is nothing that will crush him more than that #but that comes with facing that he needs to be joined to the boy who has caged him. #the boy that makes his entire being quake in disgust. in absolute disdain. #obsessed anon im OBSESSED #jjk #sukugo #sukugoyuu #anon i love u #bc sukuna HAS such convoluted feelings about yuuji. #vs the clarity of his desire of gojo #love it love it love ittttttttttttttttttttttttttt

Do you ever stop and think, whether Eve choked on the first piece of meat that She tasted? With a tongue accustomed to fresh, sweet fruit from the Garden, it must have been hard to accept Her fate.

How could the strange texture of warm flesh and the metallic flavour of the blood be reminiscent to the sharp bite of apples, or to the soft ripeness of a fig?

Do you ever wonder if She beat at Her breast, wailing in despair and terror as bile claws up Her throat? Did Her hand curl around Her swollen belly in a furtile attempt to keep away the night?

And when inevitably Her hair turns grey, crows-feet at the corner of Her eyes, smile lines etched deep, does She reach Her hand out to the heavens, bemoaning Her loss, yet smiling, smiling all the same? When Her hand finally slumps down, did it touch Adam's?

Stop moralising people who don't like children. It's really not a big deal. I'm allowed to find kids annoying as fuck and to want to avoid them whenever I can

#“yOU wERe a KiD OnCe” what's your point??? do you think you just did something? #and “children” as far as I'm concerned is anyone from 0-18 #so all that “they can't help being annoying 😭 they're learning how to be people 😭” is null and void #not being able to help it stops being an excuse when you can mentally and physically help it #saying that there's something wrong with me for hating children won't make me stop hating children #txt post #txt #mine #mine.txt #there need to be more adults only environments #that don't just involve alcohol #i don't want to get drunk but i don't want children under my feet #more than anything i think that parents don't have a handle on their children #and that anything that controls or impedes where your child goes or what it does is frowned upon nowadays #even when it's responsible parenting #i never see children on reins anymore #they're all running around getting under my feet and their parents aren't even keeping an eye on them #if i boot your child it's not my fault

sometimes I feel guilty for disliking my parents, or moreso how they acted when I was a kid sometimes. because nowadays they're great. they're absolutely fine. so it would be ungrateful to say they're bad parents? they spoiled me as a kid if anything, they kept me safe and all that too.

but at the same time, them being good now doesn't change the fact that I needed them to be good when I was still growing. it helps nothing for them to be good parents now that I'm an adult and already fucked up from them. it changes nothing that they were slightly traumatizing when I was still developing and growing as a child

#mine #childhood trauma #parental abuse #I've recovered from most of those trauma symptoms I developed #or well... at least I cry and feel less dread when someone raises their voice nowadays #cry less* #I'm still an overly timid people pleaser with no self respect #who's too afraid to do anything to ever upset people even if it means ignoring my own comfort #because that's just what worked best as a kid #fighting back and getting upset just made things worse #doing things wrong would always instigate something #so I just learned to do things perfectly #and to accept what's dished out to me without making a fuss #I don't know if this behavior will be healthy in adult life though... #it has served me well through childhood but will it serve me in the workforce? #if things had been the opposite #if they had acted the way they do now when I was young #and been terrible now instead. maybe I'd be able to deal with them healthily? #maybe my entire personality would be different #not sure where I'm going with this #but I'm just wondering who I could've been if they had been a little nicer or a little calmer about things
