I keep thinking what the ethel cain lore would look like if she lived in soviet europe instead

#what should we call it #I might expand this honestly #ethel cain #mother cain #daughters of cain #preachers daughter #americana #vintage americana #soviet #soviet aesthetic #slavic aesthetic #eastern bloc #eastern europe #poverty core #moodboard #southern gothic #sharp objects #mp

one time my mom was talking about something, I don’t remember what, and she said “have you ever known the poverty of having nothing to say?” and when I say nothing has ever punctured my heart quite like that statement

#I don’t even fully know why. also I don’t think she even meant it how I took it #but there is just some part of me that does believe that that is the greatest poverty #when there are no words in your mind or heart. no phrases—nothing to rely on or fall back on #and you just have to struggle with the human condition and be able to express none of it #and I know that not everyone uses words like I do or relies on them that way but people need some words. they need something #this is why a) I never make fun of those Instagram accounts that are all cheesy inspirational quotes or whatever because people are trying #they are REACHING #also b) that’s why villains who are wordlessly violently destructive make me cry #because it’s just like—-yeah I can understand turning to violence if I didn’t have expression #if I couldn’t get anything out #also also this is not related but I watched some movie or tv show the other day (and I cannot for the life of me remember which one it was) #but there was this couple on a date and the girl asks him to complete all these proverbs after she gives him the first half #because ‘a man who knows his proverbs can’t be all bad’ and it shook. Me. To. My. CORE. #also also!! this is why I teach! it’s the heart of it for me!! And why I make them memorize poetry. like. #and put quotes on the board every day. like. You will have words and images in your mind and your heart from my class if I have anything #to say about it #anyway sometimes my mom says things and casually devastates me #and I think (I think) she was just talking about the poverty of having no news because nothing is going on #and so you have nothing to share with someone. and she was talking about my Grandma and how sometimes she was just so sullen and quiet #but it’s just because there was nothing to say #anyway anyway anyway that is also why the one time on the phone my grandma said who has known the mind of the Lord —shook me so much #because she never really said anything. words were not her thing and she never quoted anything #and suddenly her saying this line of scripture that said more than any words I’d ever said —one of the defining moments of my life #tbh. anyway this is very long I’m sorry. I have woken up this morning crying about this. idk.

sometimes i just sit and think about that how good descendants story could be. how it could be about that not everything is black or white, that there are multiple shades of grey when it comes to morality. but then, i'm getting hit by the fact that descendants is just another classist story

#ok but listen how stupid this hellsmovies sometimes are #mal being accepted as a queen of auradon only makes sense bc she is getting married to the future king #and bc she adopted auradon morals meanwhile if third movie didn't happen people wouldn't even take uma seriously #bc she is from an isle and she has values that aren't consider as valid in auradon #and again uma's arguments only gained a value bc mal and other members of core four supported it #isle = poverty + child abuse + other types of abuse + probably addictions + 0 proffesional help #<-all of this is in eyes of auradon associated with vk. they don't take them seriously #auradon's citizens are literally rich assholes #+ nepotism #descendants #descendants ben #uma descendants #evie grimhilde #descendants mal #mal bertha #disney villains #isle of the lost #disney descendants #core four #descendants critical

something The Discourse is missing is that in tandem with the benefits that the imperial core gains, in the view of democratic socialists, is the demsoc acceptance of who counts as the working class - which is evident in, for example, the work of Robert Reich, who says that expansion of the middle class should be the goal of democratic socialism, and that this relies on poverty to still exist. Western economics account for this! This is an acceptable cause for democratic socialism, even if demsocs themselves are oblivious to the ideology that underpins their work. Internationalism will always be at odds with something already deliberately disinterested in class consciousness.

#sorry context is the discourse on how expanding wages & welfare at the imperial core relies on exploitation of the global south #to which im contributing ‘but also their vision relies on poverty still existing in the imperial core as well’ #i wrote this half asleep so i realize the clauses here are confusing and idk WHAT they were supposed to be omg

people are so addicted to misusing the words "medieval" and "victorian" to indicate an ambiguously historical setting and then immediately demonstrating the fact that they have no idea what those terms actually mean

#victorian seems to be understood to mean anything vaguely 19th century (+ 18th century for some) #shocker: your regency-inspired look has little to do with the victorian period! #and medieval is just anything that says 'poverty core' #wealthy medieval people dressed like *checks notes* marie antoinette? #m

that art you reblogged made me remember how i was reading the cp77 wiki a while back to get info that isn't strictly in the games and i read how it mentions johnny lied about his age to join the military early and not like at 17 he wAS 15. FIFTEEN. FIFTEEN WHEN HE JOINED THE MILITARY AND NOT MUCH OLDER WHEN HE LOST HIS ARM I'M SO FUCKED UP OVER THIS

YEAH… god that fucks me up. If u read the cyberpunk timeline on the wiki or some of the shards in-game about the times he grew up in (the collapse, Gang of Four) i can only imagine what drove him to join… if you think about the johnny silverhand we know (from cyberpunk 2077, even the ttrpg stories) that man, i dont think anything could make him so desperate as a boy to yoke himself like that. what was he trying to escape? was it a cocky mistake of youth that cost him more than he could have ever anticipated?

#i do like that some of his background is open to interpretation cause you can take multiple paths w johnny and his time served #cyberpunk is dystopian at its core :’) the hurt/comfort of characters finding spots of light within that tho…. #i mean. the whole universe is just. kids as young as 9 in boostergangs. #all the wars. the violence. the plagues and poverty…. and yet. there are people persevering. carving out what they can. #cp 2077 #johnny silverhand

Over explaining yourself is a trauma response that comes from a deep fear of abandonment and rejection. Process it, don’t just forget it.

there’s never been a childhood home to return to.

the walls that were carved so lovingly with our growth are scattered across the pacific northwest, wet with its mildew and humidity. i haven’t been back in a decade.

“in a way she’s still there,” someone online tells me in earnest. but she isn’t and i know she isn’t. no one has seen her since her back and heels were tucked tight against a banister she’d know for 2 years at most.

when the landlords used our security deposits to renovate the spaces we once lived in; when they caulked the seams, spackled the holes in the drywall and painted it over neat and orderly—

did they paint over her as well?

#poetry #i think #is this anything? #this can be about whatever you want but it was originally about poverty and the death of our core #and how not even a home holds her memory. #system stuff #⋆.ೃ࿔*:･ kasa.rmbl

i wake up and first thing i think of is: during marias search esp in that first week or two, i wonder how many of the search parties were volunteers considering that civilians can help cover more ground etc rather than the travis or newt sheriffs ( esp since canonically in the remakes, travis countys dept is severely understaffed )

and i wonder, too, just how many of said volunteers were extended sawyers & hewitts ensuring all potential evidence or suspicions that could point to their family ( not just in marias case but all of them in general ) is covered / fucked with / etc.

.

#something something those relatives further out from the family tree may not deal with the lack of food / poverty as hard as the main #core families respectively do. but both knowing about or doing similar ( the hunts etc ) or enabling it passively has me Thinking. #extended hewitt-sawyers who night-manage the motel(s) that get used to lure victims. cousins who work in either travis or newts sheriffs de #cousins or uncles who operate or manage bars etc. having all these little posts all over newt & travis counties where the locals already #know to turn a blind eye when hunts are underway. who feign ignorance when outsiders try to pry for information on missing #loved ones. who help passively by intervening with the few sheriffs or officials etc who try and actually DO their jobs. #and which ofc you have charlie/hoyt who kills Travis countys sheriff and takes over -- who could put both family and locals who are #complacent in the familys 'work' or who just want to stay in their good graces to protects themselves or their families. #( me lying in bed like ive been collecting fcs for extended families and am tryna come up with some roles they could have played #during marias search between the start of march to mid-ish april dont mind me- )

why are people hating on my boy

remus lupin has done nothing wrong, ever

except he has. and hasn’t.

I WILL fight.

#rambles #remus lupin #I haven't read much wolfstar lately #I've been in a more harry & james parental schtick mood and other fandoms #but oh my #remus lupin is MY flawed disaster #at the core of his character is someone who suffered immensely #from poverty and deep rooted systemic oppression #the 80s in england were not great! #thatcher was not great! #particularly if you headcanon him as queer the lad was straight up not having a good time #hp #I'm sad now

I get along really well with adults. Not because I'm good at socializing but because if I give them a small detail about my childhood/homelife, they are always nice and start offering me free stuff. Shy traumatized kid wins again 😈😈😈

People only like the vintage farmhouse style cause they’ve never lived in a farm house with no indoor plumbing with only a wood stove for heating, a box tv with rabbit ear antennas and three channels, vintage cars parked all over the yard, at least four dogs and two cats that disappear for two weeks at regular intervals, a hoarded barn, and a legend that your grandaddy hid the family fortune under the floorboards.

⬆️My childhood in Upstate New York. Well, during the summers between the ages of 2-7 and it was really my grandaddy’s brother-in-law. And the barn wasn’t the only place hoarded. Ngl I have a hard time believing this is my life sometimes. Shit sounds like a Southern gothic novel. Smh.
