#‘she hits and abuses him!’

[willow-lark]

if you think annabeth chase is abusive to percy just say you didn’t actually read the books and go ☺️

[fate-of-the-envious]

How is canon Annabeth abusive?

You want a list?

Alright!

1. She constantly hits Percy. Kicking him in the shins, elbowing him in the ribs, punching him in the gut. Not to mention the judo flip scene. Also, this is never said to be done playfully whatsoever. And it's done constantly in EVERY book.

2. She always belittles and calls him stupid. Like his plans never work. Ha, they work more than hers! Also, the parallels of her calling him Seaweed Brain, when Gabe called him Brain Boy! Like how would you feel if you have a nickname constantly degrading your worst insecurities?! All the damn time! Not to mention Thalia, who Percy was the first person who helped her after she stopped being a tree, after spending the school year with Annabeth started calling Percy Kelp Head and viewing him as dumb. Annabeth who ignored Percy all this year, and was overall just selfish and mean when they met again.

3. Annabeth is so possessive of Percy. Even before they are dating (which doesn't make it any better when they are), Annabeth doesn't let Percy be friends with Rachel. Trying to drive a wedge between the two. And Percy, literally only has Grover and Annabeth for friends. He is so alone, he needs more friends! Oh, and then with Jason she interrupts the two of them chatting and trying to get along. Also, just how she doesn't like that Percy seems to like Camp Jupiter, like he can't seem to have his own differing plans from her.

4. Tartarus. Everything about that was so bad. Like in Tartarus, whom Percy fell down to FOR HER, Annabeth brings up Rachel because in her thoughts, she needs to keep her boyfriend on his toes. Like bitch! Then, we get to how she thinks Percy is so manipulative when he talks his way to get Bob to kill his brother. Like that isn't Annabeth's number 1 tactic. She's so fucking judgemental!

And then the scene with Akhlys in Tartarus. Where yes, Percy is being scary torturing this goddess who tried to poison them to death. But she just tried to kill them! He's saving their lives! And then, Annabeth makes Percy promise her to never use those powers again, because "Somethings aren't meant to be controlled." Like do you know how useful poison-bending could be to save lives? What difference does this make from using a sword to kill monsters when all of them are trying to kill and/or eat Demigods! Not to mention, if someone is poisoned, Percy could help heal them!

Next, because of how horrible Annabeth made Percy feel for using these powers he attempts suicide. After he gets out and faces Polybotes, who controls poison, he doesn't even try to save himself and says to Jason that he deserves to die by poison for what he did! He tried to kill himself! And Annabeth never talks to Percy about this again, and instead talks to Piper who thinks Percy needs to be restrained like he's some kind of monster when he was saving them! Percy is literally the most selfless and kind person out there. And Annabeth treats him like crap! She doesn't deserve him!

5. Percy isn't allowed to have bad thoughts on Luke. Luke, who's tried to kill him repeatedly since he was twelve! And in general, this ship is so toxic and codependent right now, it's in no way healthy.

Anyways sorry for my rant, but yeah Annabeth is abusive, and it's just so concerning how people possibly in elementary school are being exposed to this being a healthy relationship, where girlfriends can hit their boyfriends, and can stop them making friends with others, because they belong to them like some sort of object.

Yeah, I just relate to Percy so much, and I don't want him to deal with another Gabe.

Edit: Okay, for anyone who likes Annabeth or Percabeth, I don't care - you do you. You can like and dislike all the characters and ships you want, just as I can. So, if you disagree with what is said, that's fine, but don't expect me to change my stance when I have already pointed out several concerning behaviors. So, like good humans, we'll just have to agree to disagree and move on with our days.

Kinda going based off of your SA Hunter head canons and your Gilded Aged AU, do you think Hunter sees Belos interacting with Luz and feels intense Jealousy? Belos’ attention seems like absolutely everything to Hunter, to have someone steal that attention. How do you think that would play in their relationship? if you don’t mind me asking.

Yeah…. Yeah their relationship gets a bit rocky. Hunter just wants Belos to care about him, to love him, they’re family, and yet this human girl shows up out of nowhere and Belos is so nice to her. At least from his perspective. What gives her the right? And then Luz has the nerve to look at him with those big sad brown eyes and pity him?

and the thing is, he can’t even bring himself to hate her. She’s so nice. So kind. she’s interested in what he has to say, she teaches him Spanish, and she’s the first person who gives a fuck about him enough to worry and ask if he’s okay when he’s not. Her touch is gentle and he’s never been hugged before. It’s so nice.

He thinks to himself that as long as she doesn’t stick her nose where it doesn’t belong, they can keep being nice. Belos will reward him for being good, and Luz will be there to give him a breath of fresh air when he fails.

But Luz will do no such thing.

"Angry robin" "violent robin" "misbehaving robin" shut up and accept my alternative; spunky Robin. Determined and head strong, can out-stubborn the Batman, has a strong moral-backbone and does what he thinks is right regardless of what anybody else says, Robin. Jason who was sassy and quippy and made crude jokes with a smile on his face. Jason who hid in Bruce's cape and whispered gossip to him. Jason who, if Bruce refused him something, could keep bothering endlessly until Bruce caved. And also dramatic Jason. If Bruce tells him no, it becomes a whole theatrical show; a monologue, a narration, embellishments, and falling onto the floor in his grief upon the fact his cruel father has denied him once again.

(Jason who has suffered through abuse and homelessness and poverty and starvation, who is the Fight out of Fight or Flight, who's built up defenses and walls and when pushed and triggered responds with the thing that's always protected him; anger. He's sweet and kind and funny, and when he sees a pimp hitting a prostitute he gets furious and responds with violence.)

Julie told Danny what Frank's middle name was, so now that bastard can full name Frank any time he wants. He loves the expression of terrified 'Oh SHIT' every time he does it

New daddy issues trigger unlocked - idolized older male mentor scolding you with your full name

Danny has different ways of actually yelling at his stupid kids when he means it and almost always gets a reaction from them, I think.

Frank - full name, very stern, sends him away

Joey - asks what his mother would think

Julie - nothing, just ignores her which upsets her more

Susie - "I'm not mad, I'm just so disappointed in your choices"

That one chef saying that the worst thing about a bad boss is how they unlock that behavior in you and seeing Carmy mirror the attitude of the chef that terrorized him and gave him panic attacks and then ending the season with Syd having a panic attack because of the stress of working with Carmy...diabolical.

Look I know he lost some skin and some limbs and some fat but I am in a bit of doubt that Jimmy was carrying Curly around so easily.

Like he’s clearly too weak to take Swansea in a fight and he’s an old guy who’s been drinking mouthwash for months AND just got roofied. Not to mention he was very much starving by that point in the game. You can argue Curly was too and his condition just added on to the weight loss but he was just carrying him around like he was a handful of grapes.

In my minds eyes Jimmy can like lift like maybe 50 pounds with a little bit of effort. Like he’s got no muscles he’s average. Curly’s still big after he crash like that man ain’t getting picked up by that twig.

Andrew hitting Ashley out of frustration and her getting turned on by it. Like that's her main reaction to getting backhanded, just more horny. Eventually she asks him to do it again when they're in bed together. He doesn't want to at first, he feels like even by their standards it would be messed up, so she realizes she has to goad him into it, and gets a really twisted mutual abuse cycle going~

This is exactly the Coffincest content I'm into

I find it so sweet when guys worry about hitting you in bed it's cute to me

I can really see Andrew just getting lost on his anger and frustration for her because he both loves her and hates her with a passion and finally just backhanding her while she's taunting him and eroding at him

And her only reaction it's getting even hornier about it, Ashley just loves getting put in her place by him, manhandled and hit, and bred, tbh I can imagine her dripping wet over Andrew putting out his cigarettes on her skin.

Ashley is such a virgin I wonder if she herself would know what she's into it or if it's like a learning curve for her.

Afterwards just her wanting to gaude him into hitting her again and again while they are having sex and he doesn't want to because he specifically associates it with the part of him that really just wants to kill her and then kill himself.

And I don't think Andrew really likes that aspect of him.

And Ashley just realizing she can always taunt and gaud whatever she wants out of Andrew as long as she keeps pressing him and trapping the situation.

So she abuses him mostly psychologically (And at parts physically too) which results in him abusing her physically and they only get worse and worse ! That's so hot !

I've witnessed first hand how fucking awful an overly controlling and manipulatuve mother can be.

It destroys your mental health. It makes you question your own worth and intelligence. It makes you unsure of who or what to believe. It makes you terrified of others perceiving you in anything but a positive light. And that's just mentally.

When people say Riddle's backstory was "tame" I want to strangle them because no, no it fucking wasn't. Just because she (supposedly) isn't beating him doesn't mean he has a "less bad" or "less tragic" childhood.

Happy Taransusie Tuesday, everyone! Here's...

Content that only ostensibly focuses on Taransusie and is more than anything character analysis of a third party?

How romantic! 🎉🥳

Okay, but no, seriously. Joshing aside, the other day I posted a meme about Sectonia and how she might feel about the idea of Taranza eventually moving on from her. And it was funny. We all laughed. But things can't always be goof-goof "If everyone started saying 'she sent her for you' I would start haunting literally everyone here because no I didn't." I'm a serious guy. I like exploring concepts that make me go "OUCHIE!" and so let's look at that sort of idea through a more somber lens for a moment.

...How would Sectonia feel if Taranza eventually moved on?

Now, I don't know if she's out there... somewhere in Hades or haunting his ass, but either way I think about her a lot. How she might feel in death, especially if she was returned to her right mind.

I think... Sectonia would have a lot of complicated feelings. Like, before we even get to the relationship nonsense. Let's toss all that aside for a second. I think Sectonia would be simultaneously be crushed by the state she left Taranza in and still... upset to eventually see him heal from it. She'd be glad, of course, to watch the scars she left on him fade, but all the same... seeing him make new friends— leave her behind...

That would have to hurt a little bit, wouldn't it? After all, it's not like she'd be afforded the same opportunity. She died young. Via circumstances that were hardly her fault. Of course she'd be a little bit jealous. Of course she'd be a little bit depressed. Maybe even a little bit angry. And she'd feel bad about it, but she would.

So when you factor in the idea of Taranza entering another relationship... oh my gosh, those complex feelings would only intensify. Taranza deserves to be happy. Taranza deserves to move on. She would know that rationally, but at the same time, the heart isn't always rational.

I do think ultimately she'd support him. In whatever he chose to do. Even if it hurt her a little. The least she can do is give him her blessing after everything that happened.

But that's something that applies to just about any Taranza ship. Let's talk about Susie for a moment.

I... think Susie and Sectonia are people who have some similar issues. At least in my interpretations, they're both people who have warped and maimed themselves in an endless search of perfection hoping it will grant them acceptance from others. But this hasn't granted them peace of mind, and in fact all it's done is pull them further from 'themselves.'

I don't know. I just think they'd have a lot to talk about, even in contexts that don't flagrantly disregard the Bechdel test like this one. They're both girlies who would, like, really vibe to both "Oh No!" by Marina and the Diamonds and "Body" by Mother Mother if that's a sentence that makes even a lick of sense. Their mental illnesses aren't the same, but they're like cousins. Their mental illnesses went to school together.

I think this sort of... self-recognition through the other would both make things easier and harder on Sectonia. Because on one hand, I think it would further be a reminder of all the things she'll never have no matter how badly she wants them, but I also think it would help her... have more empathy for this person she's initially inclined to see as her enemy, and maybe even help her eventually want good things for her.

It's kind of a complex scenario. More serpentine than I could possibly portray in a single comic or Tumblr post. Eventually, I'd like to write a fic from a deceased Sectonia's perspective exploring these sorts of ideas. But for now, I'll leave you with one last preposterous observation:

Perhaps this, too, is yuri. 🤖🐝

I'm tired.

Bruce Wayne is a character driven by the loss of his parents, his family. He decided to become a vigilante, a hero, because he wants to protect families, he wants children to stay safe with their parents. Him gathering Dick, then Jason, then another bunch of kids, is him healing his trauma through them, because he sees himself in them. When he picked up Dick, it's after seeing a child cry in front of his parents' dead bodies, and he saw himself. He couldn't let him suffer like he did, become like him. When he picked up Jason, it's after seeing an angry orphan fighting in Crime Alley, and he saw himself. He couldn't let him suffer like he did, become like him. Because Bruce knows that he is a mess of a man, that he is far from healthy, and he doesn't want Gotham to birth more criminals or Batman. He lost his family, and he was alone, but those kids will not. He will be there for them, so they grow up in the warmth of a family, even after their loss. He wants them to have the life he never had. He doesn't want them to either be angry or sad, as he was and still is sometimes. That's also why Jason is his failure, because he wasn't able to protect him from the horror of the world, of the pain and the anger, but it doesn't mean he doesn't love him. He grew up all alone with a butler in a big manor, his communication skills are close to none, but he would never willingly hurt children or his children, even when they are all grown-ups. Bruce Wayne's character is about family, making him a bad father goes against the family theme. He isn't perfect, good never meant perfect, he fucks up sometimes, and he learns to be better. He does his best, and his best isn't perfect, because that's not possible.

And, he's a hero, protector of humanity, making him an asshole is completely counterproductive when it's not the point of the story to have a hero who is an asshole (how are you supposed to feel protected by an abuser? To feel hope because of an abuser? You can't, but we are supposed to root for Batman)

Grace FUMBLED Ryan! BAD parenting to preach respect and then act contrarily (ie saying she wants him to feel safe, then not allowing him any autonomy). She should've let him leave and come back... or at least explained why she didn't want him to leave before deciding (ex: 'Homelander will kidnap you', etc). She needed to let him make the decision for himself... agh. AAAAA.

And now Butcher's no use because he's committed to being evil and can't offer ANYTHING good to Ryan!!! He was so right, they NEEDED to give Ryan more space... I know the external pressures seemed impossible, but dammit, Grace, this was no way to beat the odds!

miguel & gabriels parents only occasionally show up to any Significant Degree together in the main book (and are entirely in flashbacks when they do) but. it feels pertinent 2 mention that it's not Just A Headcanon that miguel is still deeply affected by his upbringing well into his adulthood it is quite literally The Canon Text of SM2099 lol. just because it took until the ANAD run for marvel to say “PTSD” itself in the book it doesn't mean he Never Had It before then yknow

[simptasia]

its really fucking hard to get a read on margo because she doesn't show up a lot, but from what i can gather, she's one of those people who sided with her spouse over her child

[ableedingpromise]

God I'm so fucking annoyed how come she gets to treat me however she likes and then gets to say she didn't mean it?????
