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.

Percabeth after the first war, who haven’t really gotten to be teenagers, who feel both too old and too young for their skin. Who are so so glad that the war is over, but also feel surprisingly lost, because fighting the war has been their future, their purpose, their job for as long as they can really remember

Annabeth and Percy, who do what all adrift teens do when everything is overwhelming and painful and exciting and when it feels like you don’t have a purpose any more:

they make a bucket list.

it starts small. They go clothes shopping together, close enough to Sally’s house that they can get home quick if they need too. They start to develop their own senses of style. They go to a farmers market. They make graffiti at one point and nearly get caught but the entire time they’re giggling through their fingers.

then comes the hair.

it was just a random item on the bucket list: hair dye.

and they were going to get crazy colors, Percy was going to dye his bright teal blue, no hesitation. He was decided. But then they’re standing in the shopping aisle, looking at the colorful boxes, and Percy’s eyes catch on a model, and they have long dark hair that’s just the same shade as Annabeth’s.

and he scans the aisle, and there’s another one, a bright sandy gold, and he turns to Annabeth, who is debating between silver and purple with all the intensity of a teenage war veteran, and says “I have a stupid idea”

they grab a boxed bleach on their way out.

they dye their hair together, and it’s a mess and the dye gets everywhere and it’s not quite even and both of them get a little light headed from the fumes but it’s so much fun

and they refuse to let anyone in the bathroom until their hair is dyed, rinsed and blow dried even though it takes forever because bleaching is a much longer process

when they finally emerge, Sally gasps and then starts to laugh and then Paul joins in and then they’re all laughing.

Percy’s hair is black, Annabeth’s hair is blond.

They’ve switched hair colors. And it’s silly, but it’s also a constant reminder that they’re not alone.

It’s being able to wake up from a nightmare and seeing blond hair on your pillow instead of black and thinking “Percy”. It’s having a bad day where you can’t seem to keep your mind from slipping away from you, then seeing black hair in the corner of your vision and thinking “Annabeth”. It’s a tangible sign that they are connected, that they are alive, and that there is someone who understands. A physical reminder of love.

When their roots grow out, they look at their inverted hair and smile. Like always, they match.

#Something something something the intimacy of taking care of each others hair #Something something physical reminders of a person you love (aka why I hope they keep the gray streaks in the series) #Percabeth being teenagers together (Grover too!!! This post was very percabeth focused but you bet he was in the bathroom or iris calling) #don’t mind me just lowkey headcanoning that Percy and Annabeth learn how to help take care of their hair together #they definitely did research on bleaching natural hair so they would know how to keep Annabeth’s healthy #I think they’d probably also dye their gray streaks blue or something together at one piint #The only blond haired Annabeth and black haired Percy I want in this TV series #percabeth headcanon #percabeth #percy jackson #annabeth chase #percy and annabeth #pjo #post pjo

Sometimes I just want to take every single percabeth shipper (and Rick Riordan) and stick them in a course that teaches them how to define and identify abusive relationships, and what a healthy relationship looks like.

And the final exam is writing a 1 page essay on why Percy/Annabeth is unhealthy/toxic/abusive.

The world would be a better place for it. I just know it. The level of potential domestic abuse cases would decrease (assume that these percabeth shippers are in actual relationships and not impressionable little teenagers).

I think about 6% of percabeth shippers know what a healthy relationship is based on a past poll and that's an irl problem. It's not just about fiction. It's not just a book. Its about what Rick Riordan is leading people to think is acceptable behavior.

#anti percabeth #percy jackson #pjo #hoo #heroes of olympus #percy jackson and the olympians #rick riordan #annabeth chase #I think about 6% of percabeth shippers know what a healthy relationship is based on a past poll #the rest need to learn #genuinely concerned for how these people are going to treat their partners #or let their partners treat them #you know that its not okay to play mind games and constantly keep your partner anxious and on their toes and hit/judo flip them #right???? #anyways. I follow a bunch of blogs that talk about irl abuse. might start reblogging those to this fandom account. just to educate people

One thing that I’ve been thinking about is a possible route(?) this story could go, and that is Spamton’s trip to the Ambyu-Lances’s office. And boy do I feel bad for the Addisons because it’s gonna be hell on earth for all of em. Spamton has the mentality of a feral cat and this feral cat is going to the vet in the first time in forever. I don’t think Spamton is a big fan of large syringes, and when you have one of those chasing you down because well, look at him. He’s a walking talking corrupted program. If masters his glitches like Survey says, I can totally see him glitching through the doctors to make his grand escape™️. I feel like all the Addisons are gonna have to be here for both moral support, as well as making sure that he doesn’t attack his doctor. (Maybe they’ll sedate him a little? I know that’s what some hospitals do with rowdy-er patients LMAO, but then the Addisons have a whole new problem on their hands because now Spamton is high as a mf kite or something 😭) the last time I was under anesthesia my doctor said I wouldn’t stop laughing until I burst out into uncontrollable sobs and then I immediately blacked out💀

god a trip to the doctors office would be hell in a handbasket for this guy ;v; because he 100% has the energy of a feral cat finally being checked out

though i think once he gets closer to the addisons he'd agree to go, just to see if he can be set back to normal (spoiler alert: he can't cuz fate has handed his ass the bad luck card from square one) but he immediately regrets it and the addisons have to calm him down

them sedating him would probably be the best course of action as to actually get ANY results (because he will bite and attack on instinct hfjkkdjfkks)

though i feel if i were to write an ambyu-lance scene in the future this is how id imagine it would go:

#im a giggly hysterical laughing mess under anesthesia until im out #but i can 100% imagine spamton in ur experience #like hed be uncontrollably laughing sobbing glitching just the whole board of emotions until- bam- hes out #but not without a couple escape attempts first #but also my hcs about his corruption is truly it cant be reversed #and that the man on the phone changed him in a way that no darkner can help- at least in their world #a lightner thats like very good with computers and code could fix him maybe but then again hes pretty fried #its not entirely a bad thing infact id feel hes been like this so long that going back to the guy he once was would even mess him up more #thats just my lil take on it like im a fan in healing but not completely-going-back-to-the-way-things-were-type thing #maybe thats just irl bias like after going through something traumatic and everyone expects u to be like u were but youre not #but again your changes aren't bad just as long as you're healthy and healing and happy #thats why i keep his hair black in my fics :D also bc he thinks he looks great with the different hair color which he does #oof these tags got outta hand srry anyways thx for the ask!! i loved this idea so i hope u dont mind i doodled it fjjfhfjkkfhhsj #asks #my doods #fanfic

LIKE i'm just saying there is no moral negative in using tumblr (/participating in an april fools thing that happens every single year) just like there is no moral positive in passing around a post saying something like "you guys better not be supporting staff" as if we are a) children and b) unable to think for ourselves and have to be guilt checked at the door. there is a huge and palpable difference between praising flawed companies and platforms and the people who run them v Just Existing which i know everyone does know deep down or else they wouldn't be here too. but no you're one of the Good Ones for sure.

like this is literally just a website and they all have horrible staff and bigoted practices and useless report functions and communities of violent people that happens EVERYWHERE, and doesn't mean it's like, diminished because it's "normal" it's just silly to act like it's unique to tumblr, just like it's silly to pretend it doesn't happen. and you're not more or less of a Bad Person just by existing on here with everyone else, just like you're not more or less of a bad person for criticising and not supporting these companies btw. it'd be like getting mad at someone for living in a city because crime happens in cities more or smth... like stop being stupid and trying to pat yourself on the back at the same time for reblogging a post or two about something as your brave deed of the day (while at the same time being needlessly condescending to others i mean). and to be honest some of these people need to go to a damn doctor and get their anxiety disorder or whatever in check bc this IS affecting your life a lot Clearly. maybe google moral scrupulosity. so. anyways.

#🐾 #as much as i would never do it myself no one is going to fantasy jail for saying something like ''wow this is so cute thanks staff'' like #oh my god. it's just not that serious #people act like they're getting into heaven bc they reblogged a condescending post on tumblr #which you'd think would be impossible what with the fact there is a 1:2 ratio of condescending posts on here 😭 #and just bc of the nature no this isn't about any post i saw on MY dash it's stuff on other people's blogs / searches / trending #that ive been seeing #also the reason i keep bringing up like mental health stuff or ocd and whatever is bc indulging in this isn't HEALTHY and is Actively #harming you or others. usually others. bringing everyone else down with you like idk it's just tiring to see #i wish people were just more mindful about what they say whilst still being appropriate to the gravity of the situation they're discussing

is there a "no nut november" fic thing for asmo and mc??

ik its a silly thing to participate in but i think it would be funny for scenario purposes

mc randomly decides to join in with no warning, which ends up half-dragging asmo into it (mc says he doesn't even have to join in, he can literally go self pleasure himself but "its not as fun doing it alone")

now asmo gets to spend a month trying to "tempt" mc so they give up this dumb thing

if theres no fic...lets imagine it in our minds together

one attempt asmo invites mc to watch a movie and he picks the worst movie possible

other attempts involve:

“staring very hard”

“staring very hard 2: my charming ability doesnt work but imma try anyway”

"Im hugging you im cuddling you im hugging you im--"

“lets take a bath together!”

#obey me asmodeus #asmodeus x mc #asmodeus x reader #does the fic exist?? #anyways i dont think asmo will die because a month is nothing to a demon #hes just dramatic lol #tho i wonder if therye like fully exclusive would that make a difference?? how badly does asmo need to do the devils tango #ive seen hcs that he needs sex to keep him healthy so ig it depends on ur own personal interpretations! #ill add to this later if anything pops into my head #but imma just post before i change my mind

When others enjoy things in an overly emotional and enthusiastic way I find it tacky and rebarbative. When I do the exact same thing though it's different. Then it's appropriate and justified. Obviously.

#mind you I am not ralking about the concept of cringe #I don't cringe #i just think it a bit silly #but to eaxh their own whatever makes people happy I suppose #as long as it doesn't harm anyone I don't care #but you have to admit sometimes it's really very silly #honey no you have not got it. you haven't even placed the order yet. #when I do it it's fine though #completely fine #the funny thing about this is that i really hate hypocrisy #see there's a fine line between self loathing and pushing an ego the size of the universe and I walk it perfectly #so perfectly in fact that they balance each other out #I don't hate myself I think I'm too good for that but I also don't like myself because lets be real. I'm really not It. #so what I end up with is a healthy dose of self criticism and a differential worldview #because who am I to judge #god I am so good at this being normal thing I really really am #delete later #I'm not awake enough to keep up the usual attitude of youthful cheeriness and charming idiocy you'll get your regular clownguy back by #well tomorrow probably #if the humiliation of self exposure allows me to make the return ans not just lynch this blog immediately #we'll see #not that it matters anyways

if you decorated your apartment/house/homespace to be beige/grey/off-white/basically a noncolor i automatically do not trust you. why are you afraid of colors. why do you want to live in a realty photograph or a hampton inn. i asked my sister why people do this (she's my go-to for explanations of normies bc she would've been one except she does drugs and was raised by me so got early immunity from full frontal lobe shut down) and she said "people find it calming" like wow really how strange. expressing zero personality/taste calms them down? that shit makes me feel like there could be a threat lurking near. it puts me on edge. it sets off alarms in my instinct center. i feel like a dog who senses an approaching animal has rabies. warning: some shit is deeply wrong with this organism and they pose a threat to your well being. flee without engaging. my grandparents are 90 and conservative and even they had a house with colors and patterns and art they enjoyed. millennial apartments terrify me. our boomer parents were hit or miss with their ticky-tacky suburban houses. some of those houses had a soul but many didn't. "hanging stuff on the walls decreases the property value" and other such statements that prove you're already dead. millennials seem worse though bc they do it to rentals bc they LIKE it. maybe those old women haircuts all the girls had in hs in the 2000s (this is my fav gen z criticism of us millennials bc so fucking true in hs i was like wtf are these middle aged hairstyles how did this become cool everyone looks 35) are responsible for this particular variety of brain damage. from now on i believe in this link. 32 year olds live in light grey horror boxes bc sporting 40 year old hairstyles at age 16 makes you permanently boring and unable to display any taste or personality. these are people who get uncomfortable looking at art or when a friend cries. these are the people who say "i'm sorry for your loss" to a grieving person instead of "life is cruel af my brother no answers come still we must try to survive do you need a fierce hug at this moment or not also i brought you a xanax" like a real human being would. the craziest thing i ever saw my mom do was pay to paint our foyer "eggshell" when the damn walls were already white. this is actual mental illness. not me screaming in the road about how the modern world makes no sense and all the food is microplastic poison. not a single child on earth says their favorite color is light grey or dark white. your soul is sick if beige calms you down. i diagnose you with a severe deficiency of humanity. you need to be hospitalized and forced to discuss philosophy and engage with music until you remember what is valuable about consciousness, which is beautiful as well as cruel, both a gift and curse but it's worth it. i'd rather be awake and have to go to the hospital sometimes when it becomes too much and i end up sobbing drunk in the yard than lobotomized to the point of trading my precious time on earth for money i then spend on beige curtains and a sign that says "caution: caffeinating" to hang in the kitchen proving i am a corpse whose bland heart forgot to stop beating. i mean they shoot horses don't they.

#my sister bought a 3000 dollar grey couch bc some people have way too much money #but she also asked me to make art for her bathrooms and guest bedroom which is human behavior #i made the art and all those rooms have bright colors but her living room is grey and ugly #she's a strange case: half boring popular girl but half formed by my influence bc we're eight years apart and super close #music is the most important thing to her proving she is sane and she does psychedelic drugs to keep her mind healthy #girls without sisters have a harder time i firmly believe this. i would've liked having a brother i think #but sisters help you improve your self-awareness and develop your gender identity/personal way of being female #it's prolly the same with boys and brothers but men are a mystery somebody else can try to solve #personal #text #important facts #live laugh lobotomy

I'm not going to be tone policed on how I talk about any subject whether it personally affects any of you or not. I am certainly not going to be persuaded to speak more kindly to my oppressors and/or direct political opponents because they are personally affected by the issue I'm talking about.

Some of y'all are letting the female socialization that demands we be kind and considerate at the expense of ourselves (& our social movements) push you right into sugar coating important topics and out of being an effective communicator.

#cutting off any healthy tissue for an aesthetic or mental anguish is mutilation #I'm sorry if that hurts some of y'all's feelings but it's the truth of the matter #whether or not if they are kinder ways to say this is irrelevant #I'm not going to sit here and tell y'all how to talk about any subject so that you don't upset anyone #& I would personally like to stop seeing 50 different variations of the same post telling me what the appropriate way of discussing this is #I'm here to liberate women not coddle you or should you from the criticisms of your actions #we are sisters in arms in a sociopolitical fight not friends. #lily responds #like I was going to keep my mouth shut when you were just discussing that you would like for people not to say this because you are radfems #& want to feel welcomed & comfortable n the spaces you have a fool right to be in regardless if I think it's our job to ensure that comfort #but telling me I can't describe mutilation as it is bc it's hurting the trans ppl who are actively destroying my rights on mult axises? #fuck no lol. I'm not putting in effort work to spare their feelings. #especially when it seems like the most direct blunt way of describing things it's the only way to get through to them #y'all are out of your damn minds lol #ok im done #rant

oh also this real quick

#tsukuyos like this in my minds eye #spent like the past hour thinking about how theyd work #all i ended up with was headcanons about their traumas #all i got out of it was that i think theyd both bottle up any grievances theyd have and i cant think of anyway theyd fight #like a couples fight. yknow. the healthy ones #cause like. to me i think ashley would be the type to bottle something up and never bring it up #sayings its all fine and good and putting up a brave and easy going face. worrying morw about how others feel and ignoring herself #while i think tsukuyo would also bottle things up but in a more silently stewing in it way i guess? #idk. like a silent treatment type thing or something that she’d eventually end up exploding over?? idk. straw that broke the camel’s back #idk! maybe all this shows is how much i have no clue about anything at all especially about relationships #anyways moment of weakness wont happen again probably look at the funny ashkuyo lo #basically im just gonna keep posting about making fun of them i cant be serious with them at all #magia record #ashkuyo

Rebecca sees a twisted logic in this hatred. For Millennials in particular, she told me, fans’ sense of their own morality is deeply entwined with fandom. 'We hang so much of our own identity on these things that we love,' she said. 'So if those things are threatened, you either have to admit that you’re sort of a bad person for liking those things or you have to convince yourself that everyone else is wrong.'

#still reading the article but man this quote jumped out at me right away! #also (as i read on in horror): how is it that groups of people can get so ugly about literally ANYTHING #(can you imagine being the female s/o of a fandom-beloved man ............... god.) #also! i think it's important to keep in mind that we can't control what celebrities do. #we can't control what the people involved in our favorite stuff do #and we're not answerable if they wind up doing something reprehensible #i think it's important to have more of a sense of that divide you know? #we enjoy them in the specific context of their work but it doesn't mean we're responsible for them because that's impossible #idk exactly what i'm trying to say but i know what i'm feeling! #i'm just bad at ... saying words #i guess just being aware that you enjoy that figure specifically in the context of the work they're doing in a particular project #is way more healthy than feeling like you're somehow connected to who they are personally #because of course ... none of us are! #and so then maybe that way if something horrible happens like this w/ d*pp #you don't feel like it's also saying something about you
