Hello there.
[Slides elegantly into the tags]
Do you ever think about Emotion?
Of course you do. How could you not. But do you ever think about this exchange specifically:
Tumblr media
“You’re not Adrien!”
Because Adrien is sweet, and forgiving, and kind. In fact, kindness is his defining quality — Marinette herself made sure of it:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
“I’ll never tell another boy I love him before I know everything about him! Whether he’s kind or not, thoughtful, what he does outside of school and with who… I’ll know everything.”
But.
Do you ever think about Adrien’s development in S4 and especially S5?
Overtime, he has grown resentful of a system that exploits him relentlessly.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Of the people he gave countless chances to, only to be let down over and over again.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Of the web of lies and half-truths he constantly finds himself tangled into. A web that is only growing bigger, stickier, and trickier to escape.
Tumblr media
And the Senticousins. Do you ever think about them?
Tumblr media
Do you ever think about how they are each other’s reflection, identical and opposites all at once?
Tumblr media
“When you bring a living being into this world, you have a responsibility towards them. Your duty is to protect them, love them, help them discover the true meaning of their existence. To deprive them of that… is monstruous.”
Tumblr media
“To have a child is to help them blossom, to grow, to find themselves and to be free!”
Do you ever think about their opposite character arcs in S5 — one learning mercy and trust, the other developing a rage so strong it could destroy the world?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Do you ever think that if Felix can now have this exchange with his mum, and mean it:
Tumblr media
“They’re all monsters!”
“Not all of them.”
Then there’s nothing stopping Adrien from saying this:
Tumblr media
“Look closer, Marinette. They’re the monsters.”

Say what you will about the Disney Percy Jackson series, but if there is one thing that I really like about it, it is the fleshing out of monsters and darker characters so far. Everyone's personality is so much greyer, but staying true to their core that makes it such an interesting adaptation. Yes I am sad that some scenes are changes, different or not included, but I can also appreciate the new ones that we see. You can really get into Percy's head in a way that sometimes I forget as I reread the books. He is well established in my head as older and that much more experienced, a character that i grew up and aged with, but I see now in the Disney series, just how really young he is. How much he is still learning, still growing as himself and how much his interactions are shaping him as a person. I love book!Percy, but TV!Percy is bringing something a bit different to the table that is not bad, just different.

I have so many questions about this comic it isn't even funny.
1. How is recognizing ones biological sex dehumanizing and cruel?
2. Does the artist know it's very obvious what sex people are? Nobody is being outed when they have to use the bathroom assigned to their biological sex. If anything, they're outed by using the bathroom assigned to the opposite sex, since everyone can see by looking at them that they do not belong there.
3. Not a question but I think it's absolutely hilarious that, just like in their real life arguments, this trans activists comic completely bulldozes over the very real concern about women's safety with a bunch of incomprehensible word salad. If they're one thing, they're consistant
4. So having a male student use the men's bathroom is humiliating and cruel, but forcing little girls to expose themselves in a space that should be safe isn't?
5. Again, not a question but this comic talks about trans students "hating the world if someone asked if they deserved to live a quiet life at school mind their own business" and I have a few thoughts on that. For one, nobody is saying trans kids can't live a quiet life at school, we're saying males can't go into the girls rooms and girls can't go into the men's rooms. Two, parents are entitled and should be encouraged to raise concerns about their children's well being. Three, this once again glosses over the rights and safety of little girls. Why are boys who identify as girls allowed more protections than actual girls?
6. How is it child abuse to make the boys use the boys rooms but forcing girls to share their intimate spaces isn't?
Anyway, fellow Radfems, I'd love your thoughts.

And my girl Scully figured out that Diana and Phoebe were abusive to him and that’s why she was ready to disintegrate them with whenever they breathed Mulder’s air iktr. (Also to me that’s part of the reason Mulder was oblivious and defended them, people who are in abusive relationships are not always aware of it)
YUPP you’re literally dead right, anon, in my opinion. it really bugs me when people talk shit about mulder for “trusting” both phoebe and diana, as though that’s not like…the only thing he’s been taught to do.
i’ve been thinking a lot about the difference between scully’s reactions to phoebe vs. diana. when phoebe showed up, scully had only known mulder for a few weeks. and still she knew almost instantly that something wasn’t right.
i didn’t notice until i rewatched fire the way that she never leaves him alone with her. if mulder and phoebe are working on something, you can see scully. against the wall, peeking around the door, pacing in the hallway. he tells her that she’s “off the hook,” that he’s not going to “put her through this” with “phoebe’s little mind games,” and she takes it upon herself to investigate phoebe’s case herself, until she solves it and phoebe can go the fuck home.
girlbosses catch serial murderers singlehandedly to get their best friend’s shitty ex away from them.
when phoebe was around, scully is passive aggressive as hell. constantly hanging around and making little quips and mocking her accent.
when diana shows up? five years later? she’s just aggressive.
she said nah, we aren’t doing this again 😭😭
(one of my favorite scully moments is when she snaps “and not just because i think that woman is a….well, you know what i think that woman is” and mulder is just like “no you hide your feelings sooo well” lmfao)
i really do think meeting phoebe so early in their partnership informs a lot about the way scully reacts to his exposure and relationship to other people throughout the series. she really doesn’t trust a soul around him.
i always think of this line from madness by kittenscully (a post-syzygy fic, addressing the detective white incident):
“A surge of righteous indignation at the notion makes her sit up straighter, and she bites her tongue to avoid a very unpleasant comment from slipping out. As always, she thinks of Phoebe, of his wide, trusting eyes.”
diana was scary levels of manipulative and violating. but diana loved mulder, scully knew that and used that to plead with her in the end.
phoebe didn’t care about anything but playing with fire. she got off on scaring him, crossed state lines just to fuck with his head and hurt him, just like in their relationship a decade earlier. mulder knew this, he knew from the start what she was doing and what she wanted, and he helped her anyway. he praised her anyway. he connected with her and invested in her anyway.
y’all know i’m always thinking about the script note about phoebe’s coldness “eliciting some old need in him to have her affection.”
by the time diana came back around, scully had sat on the floor of a hotel and watched phoebe smile and shake hands with bureaucrats while mulder couldn’t breathe.
scully had stood in the next room when his questions to his mother got him little more than a slap to the face.
it’s different with diana because there’s a lot more history and connection there, and because at that point there is heartbreak and jealousy on scully’s side (when phoebe was in town, she hung around in doorways. when diana reaches for mulder’s hand, she turns around and holds back tears in the car.)
it’s a difficult position for both of them. he doesn’t know how to do anything but appease and trust and be loyal, to help whoever asks. he doesn’t care if it hurts him, he’s been groomed his whole life for that, to feel like he deserves it.
it makes scully crazy. he’s her best friend. she can’t believe anyone would look at that kind of softhearted hope and want to exploit it or crush it, rather than look up to it, follow it, nurture it.
and it hurts!! it hurts to watch him fall back into these traps, and especially with diana, it hurts to feel that your input and relationship doesn’t matter enough to have influence. to not be listened to, to feel like you’re not being chosen.
she doesn’t know that he went to search diana’s apartment after she told him not to trust her. she just heard, “i know her. you don’t. scully, you’re reaching.” and watched him leave.
it’s just this perfect crossroads of each of their most vulnerable spots. scully wants to protect him, always, and she also wants to be chosen.
mulder has to stand by his allegiances, to seek ‘affection’ in cruelty, to play his role in the larger scheme. this is what CSM knew when he recruited diana into the conspiracy, and he knows because he “created” it.
you can’t judge either of them, they’re both following their natures, and furthering the narrative they were chosen for.
(until scully stands in front of diana and begs, “i just want you to think…stand there in front of me, look me in the eye”…and breaks the whole thing down.)

Another video from some time ago (barely a week but, all of the awful things we’re seeing make it seem much longer?) but we need to see these moments of peace, beauty and humanity, or else we will not be okay. (Or at least I won’t be okay)… I downloaded this from instagram via @moh_es_qesta, who continues to coordinate food relief (and diapers, medical supplies, etc) in what I believe is North Gaza.
You can find his instagram profile here and see all the work he is doing.
May God protect them from settler violence.

What would have happened if Alicent agreed to marry Helaena to Jace?
...It wouldn't have really changed anything on the Greens' end. Maybe it would have gained the Blacks a few more allies?
The issue with marrying Helaena to Jace is that Helaena was never the problem and was only ever in danger because her brothers were. Aegon, Aemond, and Daeron were in danger by virtue of their existence, as challenges to Rhaenyra's claim. Any lord who didn't want Rhaenyra to rule wouldn't care if Helaena married into Rhaenyra's bloodline, because Aegon would still be there as an alternative to Rhaenyra in their minds.
This is the whole point of Alicent's "you are the challenge Aegon, as you live and breathe" line in the show. It's not Helaena who's the challenge; it's Aegon. A marriage between Helaena and Jace might make Aegon less willing to stand against Rhaenyra, but unfortunately his willingness was never the problem, either. Aegon's not the challenge because he wants to be; what he wants, or even what he's suited to, has no bearing on this. He's the challenge in spite of these things, not because of them, and he's the challenge just because he's Viserys's eldest son.
And, as I've talked about before here, there's real-world precedent from the rough time and place Fire and Blood is based off of about what happens with these challengers. Lady Jeyne Gray was a sixteen year old girl who was still seen as a challenge to Queen Mary's reign even after Jeyne renounced her claim and swore fealty to Mary, because men were still going to war for her. So Mary killed her, not because she wanted to, but because nothing was going to dissuade these men from inciting war save for Jeyne's death. Because the men had never cared about what Jeyne wanted, only how they could use Jeyne for their own political ends.
The lords supporting Aegon's claim are supporting him to fulfill their own misogynistic goals; they don't care what he, or Helaena, or any of the other Greens want. They don't need to. They only need him to exist. To live. To breathe. As Alicent said, that is all the challenge they need.

First of all, Scotland, for passing the Scottish Hate Crime Act and trying to protect trans people, thank you. Thank you for treating us as humans, thank you for recognising our identities.
However....
Tumblr media Tumblr media
fuck you JK Rowling. fuck your TERF rants that endanger our lives. fuck your Nazi attitudes.
fuck you Police Scotland for proving that you're fucks and will not take this law seriously, even when someone intentionally, repeatedly, maliciously and gleefully breaks this law in a very, very public forum.
Tumblr media
fuck you Police Scotland for not only refusing to take action when someone is breaking this law intentionally, repeatedly, maliciously and gleefully, but also proving that 1) this new law will NOT be taken seriously by you 2) this tells every TERF and Tory out there that the law is NOT valid, and that the law does NOT include queer people, specifically in this case Trans people; and 3) this tells every queer/Trans/enby/multi-sex/hermaphrodite person that we are NOT actually protected as this new law promises, and you can and will continue abusing us and destroying our lives. Fucking thanks. Cos it wasn't obvious enough that every day gets more and more dangerous for us trans/enby people, so thanks for just making it clear to the fucking world that even when someone mocks this law openly, you don't fucking care because we are not fucking people. Got it. So fuck you Police Scotland, specifically, for doing NOTHING when someone blatantly flouts this law. Fuck every one of you ACAB fuckers.
fuck everyone who still works with you, Rowling and still even speaks to you after knowing what you are.
fuck everyone who still buys anything related to the Harry Potter franchise knowing the money is going into the pocket of someone like this. Because she sends that money back out to fucking Anti-Trans orgs that hurt us.
fuck you HP fans who plan to watch her new tv show. You cannot be a fan of a massive transphobe trying to destroy us, and an ally at the same time. so fuck you.
fuck harry potter fans who wear HP merchandise stuff knowing what she has said and done, yes I don't care if you bought it before she said it, fuck you because you know exactly what she represents. Not apologising. Yeah, I'm totally judging you if you're wearing HP merch, even if especially if you're queer. I don't care how much HP meant to you as a child. I don't care about fucking nostalgia. I care about the Trans lives that are in danger every day because of monsters like this fucking woman.
fuck you Rishi Sunak for backing and legitimising this horrible woman and her bigotry.
fuck you British politics, fuck you Tories. Fuck you all for destroying this country and making every day more dangerous for Queer people.
fuck you CEO David Zaslav. fuck you Warner Bros. for being willing and happy to work with this fucking woman for her fucking franchise so she can continue to fucking make millions and fucking fund anti-trans orgs.
fuck every single one of who who protects, excuses and funds this fucking behaviour. And fuck every one of you who doesn't give a fuck at everything that is happening.
fuck these fucking fucks. fuck you TERFs and transphobes and fuck every single one of you fucking fucks.
Tumblr media
Thank you for trying, Scotland. Thank you.
But please explain to the fucking POLICE and the fucking evil POLITICIANS that this new law means we are legally recognised as protected under the Scottish Hate Crime Act, so they all need to stop fucking about and treat it seriously.
and the fucking PRIME FUCKING MINISTER fucking backing this fucking TERF. I'm not surprised, just angry.
This is on you. so, fuck you if you are supporting these fuckery fucking fucks.
As is EVERY SINGLE FUCKING INCIDENT a trans person has in this fucking country. Every time someone fucking deadnames us, every time someone intentionally misgenders us, every time someone threatens our safety, every time someone fucking assaults us? every single incident is on your fucking head, you fucking fucks.
