#‘they’re what’s wrong with society’

As a bisexual woman from and living in Panamá, if someone proudly said out loud they’re an ally I would shed tears of happiness, considering that the default here is Not Being One. Actively someone reminding us we are loved and worth standing with even if technically Not Their Problem, opening themselves to criticism from most of the population, taking the risk, is such a sweet and impactful thing to do. We are few of the countries still not having equal marriage rights, and the piece of shit that our Monseñor is, having an iron fist grip in our politics, it won’t happen soon. So someone from outside the community actively saying they love us is such a beautiful show of love to us here.
When I do tutoring as a side gig with young boys and teenage guys, and they talk to me about stuff they see online, and repeat some mysoginistic bullshit they learnt online, I concerned but patiently ask them what they mean by that. When explaining it out loud I may answer with ‘that’s so mean why would anyone say that about a girl’ with a preoccupied face, and now seeing their favorite funny math teacher looking hurt makes them think ‘wait maybe this is kind of wrong and fucked up actually’. Before that moment, have they ever stopped to think how that was wrong, when all their pals normalize the same thought process? Isn’t that what mysoginistic men online prey on for them to not find out until it explodes on their faces? And now they see their loved tutor, who’s a woman, be affected by those kind of comments when they don’t feel I fit the rhetoric, and ask how much of that stuff is then actually false. To doubt what they’ve been fed, specially in a society like the one in my country. I plant the seed of doubt, and see it bloom. I gently guide them to a place of good while teaching math.
There was this kid in 5th grade before the pandemic who I saw weekly for a few months who one day proudly told me how he defended a girl in his class, who he even kinda disliked for unrelated reasons to this post, be picked up by some other boys for being a girl or some other bullshit I don’t remember. That the stuff they were saying were mean and false and made no sense. He was so proud of standing up for what he felt was wrong and following what his nice teacher had taught him, and I congratulated him for doing a good job. It made him so so happy to be recognized. He was such a nice kid. I hope he’s doing alright now.
Nooo mutual don’t put that “men fall down the alt-right pipeline bc women/feminists are too mean” post on my dash nooo mutual don’t try to say women need to be nicer when dealing with misogynistic men nooo mutual nooo
#man I I really do miss giving classes to José Antonio#he was such a funny guy#took me like 5 or 6 clases to make him understand that no he’s not dumb and math is not the worst thing in the world#to sit down the whole class with me and do the homework#that math can be fun#he sometimes told me how he waited all week to see me and tell me about what he did that week#I love when my students tell me that ahhhh#it makes me happy when they say how my class is a highlight of their week#I miss doing those more often#stupid college with his stupid class schedules that end up at 8 pm#I also miss the money#I also remember when Ana Lucia (15) went from almost failing math to actually be some of the best math students in her class#she was the ban of my existence and always a fight for her to do her homework#but my gif wasn’t she so proud when for the first time in her life she didn’t even had to do the final of math bc she had high enough#índice to be exonerated of doing it#her mom in a million years thought that would ever happen#anyways I derailed too much with my rambling#I love kids okay#even when being the most annoying motehrfuckers ever

Okay but. Hear me out. Platonic m/f soulmates specifically in a heteronormative society.
Soulmates are understood to primarily be a romantic thing by society, because they’re meant to be the most important person in your life, and a lot of the time that person is your partner, but not always.
Reyna who grows up with Jason’s name on her wrist. Who gets through her shitty childhood partially through thinking one day she’ll meet her soulmate and he will love her and things will get better
And then she does meet him and he does love her, but it’s not how she expected it to be. He loves her, but it doesn’t seem to be in the same way she loves him.
And then even the goddess of love tells her she’ll never find love with her soulmate, and Reyna can’t help but wonder if she’s fundamentally broken in some way.
Jason who grows up just wanting to be loved, no matter in what way. Who has Reyna’s name on his wrist and is delighted when he meets her and knows they were meant to be friends. But he’s not sure he loves her in the way he’s supposed to. And he’s overjoyed that he has her, but sometimes he feels sad, because maybe that means there’s something wrong with him.
Leo and Piper who grow up with each other’s names on their wrists. Who find out during the meteor shower and kiss exactly once only for them both to immediately realize this feels off, but if that means they’re broken somehow, at least they can be broken together.
But then something shifts. Hera mixes up their memories and they no longer remember. Leo is stuck thinking his soulmate has a boyfriend, and maybe he’s one of the unlucky few people who is soulmates with someone that has a different soulmate. But then he looks at Jason and Piper together. And sure, he jealous, but it’s not Piper he wants to kiss, and he’s so confused. She’s the one who’s meant to be his soulmate. So then why does he think about what it would be like to brush his fingers through Jason’s hair?
Piper who doesn’t properly remember wilderness school but does realize her love for Leo isn’t what it’s supposed to be. She loves him so much, but she’s not in love with him like she should be. But surely Hera and her mom put her with Jason for a reason. Maybe there was a mistake with her tattoo. Maybe she was supposed to have Jason’s name written on her wrist. Maybe she’s not broken.
Except Jason’s tattoo says Reyna. And it’s clear that he misses whoever Reyna is. He says he doesn’t think he liked her like that, but she’s his soulmate, so surely he does. The name is burnt into Piper’s mind before they ever meet.
And when they do, she wants to hate Reyna. Wants to hate her for what it will mean for her relationship with Jason that Reyna exists. Wants to hate her for being proof that there is something fundamentally wrong with Piper.
But Reyna is beautiful and strong and a natural leader. Jason is lucky to have a soulmate that awesome. (And sometimes Piper kind of wishes Reyna was her soulmate instead of Jason’s.)
Reyna who wants to hate Piper because she’s the girlfriend of the guy who was supposed to be her soulmate. Who might be the reason Aphrodite looked at her and said she wouldn’t find love where she wanted or expected. But Piper is gorgeous and brave and stubborn, and Reyna doesn’t hate her. Sometimes she thinks it might be the opposite. Sometimes she wonders if that’s what her prophecy meant.
Jason who is loved in so many different ways after a lifetime’s worth of feeling unloved. Who is so confused how romantic love is supposed to feel in comparison to platonic love. Who loved Reyna and Piper but never like he was supposed to.
Who holds Leo in his arms and wonders if that’s what home feels like.
It’s Leo who figures it out eventually. He’s venting to Hazel about the whole situation after the incident with Nemesis and Hazel looks at him dumbfounded because “what gave you the idea soulmates had to be romantic??”
“Please tell me one example where it isn’t. You can’t.”
And Hazel just stares at him, then slowly rolls up her sleeve to show Leo the name on her wrist is literally her brother’s (which makes a lot of sense because obviously without Nico she wouldn’t even be alive right now. He changed her life in a way no one else could have)
And. Yeah. That one is kind of hard to argue with
And there’s nothing wrong with the way any of them love each other. They’re not what society expects soulmates to look like. But they’re all so very loved, and being loved platonically isn’t less valuable than being loved romantically just because it’s different. It’s not what they expected looking at the names on their wrists for the first time. But it’s still love, and maybe that’s the only thing that matters.
#platonic! relationships! are! so! important! to! me!#I actually wrote this a while ago and idk if anyone will care but actually I’ll subject you to this anyway#welcome back to posts that have a target audience of maybe two people#jason grace#leo valdez#piper McLean#reyna avila ramirez arellano#hoo#heroes of olympus#leo and piper#Jason and Reyna#valgrace#pipeyna#celestial gold#lost trio#long post

The Xisuma Twins grew up in a post apocalyptic wasteland of a server with only their dad. The server used to be a huge, bustling metropolis of a server, but something went wrong, (Xisuma doesn’t remember and Evil X refuses to say) which led to the down fall of society and the rapid mutation of mobs. In fact, most of their childhood was running from these mutated mobs or scavenging the ruined streets for food.
One of the reasons the X Twins always wearing full body armour is due to the risk of bites and infected scars the mutated mobs could cause. In fact, their dad has nasty scars covering the entirety of the right side of his body, mostly from using his own body to shield his boys.
When they finally managed to escape, their dad went into retirement and Xisuma joined Hermitcraft. Xisuma wants to establish order onto a server to avoid anyone experiencing what he had to go through as a child, while EX wants control and power, as he lacked any kind of control in his life while traversing the wasteland they called home.
They’re both getting therapy now, but they still have their moments.

if I’m honest, I have never seen so much blatant actual antisemitism in my life as I have in the past 2 weeks. overwhelmingly on the left, but on the right too. I didn’t know it was this bad.
#Im not just talking about political anti-Zionism#I’m talking about ‘they control the world’#’they have all the wealth’#‘they’re swindlers’#‘they’re what’s wrong with society’#and then the fewer but still present petitions for gas chambers and trains#or snide remarks about Jewish features. (mostly that Israelis aren’t ‘real’ Jews bc they’re all white#which didn’t seem to matter to Hitler btw)#I genuinely feel like. we’re gonna look back at pro-Palestine people the way we look back at H.P. Lovecraft#and we’re gonna look back at pro-Hamas people the way we look back at American Nazis#at least I hope we will#respublica#racism#mobile#x

tgck and bkdk parallels make so much more sense when you think of it as Katsuki paralleling Uraraka and Izuku paralleling Himiko instead of the other way around…
#it took me way too long to figure that out#like I saw it#but I’d try to parallel toga with Katsuki and it wasn’t clicking in my brain very well#but the other way around?#omg?#Himiko’s self acceptance and willingness to show her true self is something Izuku needed but lacked nonetheless#Urarakas confusion about her own feelings and not really knowing what she feels but later accepting that she wasn’t feeling what she thought#she was feeling#kinda reflecting Katsuki’s confusion and unwarranted anger towards Izuku until finally realizing accepting that he was wrong#and that he feared him because he always secretly admired him#Izuku being shunned by society being a direct parallel to all of the villains tbh but more so toga than anyone else#Katsuki’s feelings for Izuku in the beginning holding him back from reaching his full potential#reflecting Urarakas feelings for deku at the beginning holding her back as well#oh my god it all makes sense now#SOMEBODY SEDATE ME#tipsy thoughts with puff#bnha#bakudeku#bkdk#midoriya izuku#bakugou katsuki#toga himiko#uraraka ochako#togaocha#togachako#tgck#puff speaks#I think I tried to parallel Himiko with Katsuki because they’re both aggressive blonds#and Izuku with Uraraka because they’re both dark haired sunshine characters#they’ve been practically the same ship all along

I think fans want Jason to be a good person or be becoming one. To have a character that is well meaning and compassionate but decided murder is ok and to stand against main heroes who’s beliefs and actions go against the people he cares about and wants in his life. It’s confusing for people. People want their fav characters to be happy. But Jason can’t have his family’s support and follow his moral code. He’s cares about people and Gotham, and he’s an asshole who kills. It’s messy. It’s not black and white. I don’t even think Jason cares about being a good person or in the right anymore. I think he cares about what will save the most people instead.
Oh my goodness gracious I’ve been bamboozled
Batman’s definition of Good is not synonymous with absolute good/right no matter how much dc insists it is. Torture, battery/assault, surveillance, those are all condemnable actions too. I won’t get into the exhausting and frankly dumb debate of comic book morality wrt killing because I’ve already reblogged plenty of posts from other people who explained my thoughts on the matter far better than I ever have the patience to sit down and articulate. I also just think the notion that there’s something to be done about fictional characters who kill nazis and senseless murderers is stupid. Jason’s point is that the “main” heroes’ sanitized definition of right has its unaddressed holes and flaws which ultimately result in more preventable fatalities, and that he’ll work to correct those missing spots.
He doesn’t not care about doing what’s right. What he doesn’t care about (at least during his Winick characterization) is whether Batman thinks he’s right or wrong, because he sees the flaws in Batman’s methodology (and since he has a mind of his own). Batman’s methods alone cannot address Arkham’s revolving door and the rogues that come and go through those doors who have no intention (or capability from the doylist pov) of ever changing or undergoing redemption. Jason knows that he’s minimizing the number of preventable deaths by killing his targets, typically Characters Who Simply Do Fucked Up Shit Just Because, Why The Fuck Not?
Secondly, Jason is compassionate … to a fault. That was his fatal flaw. If he wasn’t so hell-bent on saving his potential birth mother he just met from that bomb despite everything she did to him prior, he could have protected himself instead, however slim his odds of survival were. What about his relationship with his other parents? He was a caregiver during his early childhood years for Catherine, until her death. Even mature adults who are financially stable find being a caregiver to a dying parent to be extremely burdensome on their bodies and minds, but he never complained about it or resented Catherine for being unable to care for him. Despite how none of his parents have really been what he needed them to be, he doesn’t blame them for their failings, and even continues to think highly of them (Bruce included).
And post-death? Enter Lost Days. Despite being dead set on plotting his revenge on Bruce, he constantly sidelines this in order to save other victims who are helpless like he once was. His own anger, trauma, and mission don’t remain his priority. (Sound familiar? Something something my own trauma above my son’s, mission above all else, etc.). Why would he waste precious time and risk his own life to do this if he wasn’t empathetic towards these victims or didn’t care about doing the right thing. He is simultaneously horribly traumatized and full of rage, and also incapable of ignoring what’s happening to victims around him (even as he claims that it’s indeed not his priority). And in that same vein, the entire premise of his rebirth outlaws run was that he doesn’t care if the public views him as a villain, an outlaw, so long as he can protect Gotham. And anyway where is this portrayal of him not caring about being in the right anymore. Almost every modern Jason story is about him grappling with where he stands with Bruce/Batman. During the early 2000s was probably the last time he did not care (hello, tentatodd??).
Jason has very evidently been portrayed as a kind and compassionate character. He is also simultaneously a calculated killer who doesn’t hesitate to kill when he deems necessary, and does so without remorse. It’s called being a Complex Character With An Edge™ that as you said, people so often claim to love. However when he fulfills that latter part, that seems to upset people because “killing bad”, and they then try to shave off and round out all his edges and claim he shouldn’t be that angry. In that case I guess you should just stick to liking traditional one-dimensional characters instead of claiming to like Jason but then encouraging his character assassination attempt by dc. Lol.
Lastly, who said anything about the batfam making Jason happy? Just because he’s written nowadays to want acceptance from Bruce (a shoddy attempt at forcing a non-existent nuclear batfamily), doesn’t mean that it’s a sound decision or that it does his character justice. I certainly don’t empathize with the idea that Jason needs the family’s approval or acceptance to be happy. (And anyway he has enough outlets for angst and pain aside from the batfam hello explore his other sources of trauma and do more deep dives into how he thinks when he’s alone). I don’t want them to magically make up and become one big happy family. This is not disney Lol. Besides, there are plenty of stories from dc that have that type of “wholesome” (hate that word utilization) characterization for Jason (Li’l Gotham, Tiny Titans, wfa, and even new stuff like the brave and the bold mini) and that is sufficient imo. Jason fans who are invested in the character deserve accurate, nuanced characterization and well-written stories, whether they be from his robin days (e.g., Batman: The Cult) or as red hood.
#fellas. ya know what else is wholesome? avenging your own death#you can have moments of ‘reconciliation’ or peace but still maintain a strained relationship which is far more realistic#‘he’s an asshole that kills’ and Bruce is an asshole who doesn’t kill. lol.#you can’t claim Jason’s conflicted and disturbed but go on to say Bruce is perfectly sane those two are mutually exclusive#also please realize that a character acting out of anger does not mean they lack compassion.#implying that he doesn’t care about doing the right thing is saying the same thing that person said;#that he doesn’t actually know what he’s doing. that he hasn’t thought through his moral stance.#‘Jason didn’t put any thought into anything he did in utrh he’s just a poor mentally ill lost soul who needs the batfam’s love to heal 💔’#🤝#‘jokers just a poor victim of society 😔 he just needs someone to understand him and maybe one day he’ll heal and realize he’s wrong’#what they both have in common is that they’re misunderstood in opposite directions#the joker doesn’t have a point to prove. there’s no deeper meaning behind what he does. everything is a joke to him.#he isn’t unaware of right vs wrong lmfao#jason todd#dc#asks#my post#and I think you’re implying that he’s utilitarian based on that last part but I don’t think he is#user mintacle posted a few metas regarding that and again they explain it much better than I prob could#anyway it isn’t difficult to understand his character if you know why you like him and you actually read his stories#that post specifically was from someone who clearly said they did not read the comic so. technically they’re on their own wavelength#edit: grammar

i want to start on the drizzt books for the drow content but so much of the drow infos I found from like the old handbook reeks of so much misogyny to me that i just want to stick to my own headcanons LMFAO
#like how are you gonna tell ME that this is a woman dominate society and men are treated like dogs but then turn around introduce the mage#school for girls and soldier school for boys but there’s also a special boys mage school like ???#if anything the concept of educating men should be laughed at and disregarded#then they’ll talk abt how drows are so cold and calculating that they don’t even have a word for love#but then turn around and go on and on about how they’re backstabbing emotional irrational bitches and also they’re almost always naked#like the idea of their sexy is centered the male gaze too IF ANYTHING i think their beauty standards is based on LOLTH#and spiders. and they’d want to look like lolth and she’s out there having eight legs#alas I’ll start it anyway but i like my own take on menzoberranzan hehe#like my beef w like whoever wrote those handbooks is that i think the concept is so interesting but it feels like they were just trying to#create an evil place that’s opposite of the norm and completely wrong and irredeemable#and what they thought up is a place where women are in charge

i think one of my hotter jjk hot takes is that i don’t think kenjaku is gender-fluid
#do not get me wrong. i don’t think they’re cis either (what gender would that even be?? 💀)#but i feel like with both kenjaku and tengen they’ve lived for so long to the point where gender is just kinda obsolete to them#especially with how most of the time with them both they can’t even really too outwardly express their gender#tengen is closed off from the rest of society just hanging out#and kenjaku is busy possessing peoples bodies and trying to keep up their characters to be able to do anything like that#i mean kenjaku clearly has a type as far as their vessel’s appearances go but other than that?#idk. i just personally think both tengen and kenjaku are just agender at this point#btw i’m not vagueposting about anyone! i’ve just thought this for a while and since kenjaku is really circulating again thought i’d say smt#i’m just a bit tired of seeing people say all characters who shapeshift/something in that vein are genderfluid#like be for real#but hey i can’t control what people headcanon#it just bothers me seeing it so much 💀#kenjaku#jjk kenjaku#kenjaku jjk#tengen jjk#jjk tengen#jjk#jujutsu kaisen#me.txt

I’ve come to realize that as an adult, I can dramatically flaunt around my dorm and wave my labcoat-like cardigan around like a mad scientist, and no one can stop me. What are they gonna do, tell me to grow up?
#shopping cart of thought#no one can stop me because no one is there to witness it#also maturity is kinda a dumb concept created by society ngl#just say something along the lines of: understanding#responsible#conciencious#don’t make people feel bad that they’re not ideal because they aren’t old#a factor people can’t control#also I can confirm being told you’re mature as a young kid makes you feel you have to keep it up or else you’ll suddenly be considered#childish#and what’s wrong with that?#LET PEOPLE HAVE FUN I SAY :D

I don’t believe in categoric “love languages” but, along those lines, providing is so important for me in my relationships, romantic and otherwise. I love you, so I provide for you, and maybe you’ll do the same for me. I want to be in a constant cycle of giving and receiving with my loved ones. I want to feel safe and appreciated and make others feel the same way. I want to anticipate their needs. I want them to openly express their desires to me without shame. If you want it, it’s yours. I love you.
#i have been going ALL OUT for my coworkers lately#because they are lovely and they deserve it#i want to care for them and protect them#because i don’t trust my manager to do it#she seems like a decent person don’t get me wrong - she just doesn’t seem to like spending money on other people#which like sure. we live in a society. capitalism is hell - i get it#but also life is short - my coworkers work their asses off#and they deserve some hot cocoa and an apple cider donut when it’s cold and they’re on a 12 hour shift#and they deserve some cake on their birthdays#sure i could have saved the money - but i’d rather give them the appreciation#because that’s what it’s really about#that their happiness is worth it to me

Orpheus and Eurydice is so…like how does one not feel like Orpheus w everything they love…like ok if I keep going n know ur there maybe it’ll be fine, except if I actually look back at u & try to be *with* you…it’ll be lost
#like. the real experience of it#isn’t as harsh or cruel as what Orpheus has to endure#but. it’s like. you can’t be direct abt what you love#that’s not fucking true#I think it’s from capitalism and patriarchy and cishet/amanormativity#and not existing in a way you can reflect your soul to others safely#you can refer to what you love and hint at it#but it can be so fucking painful bc you want it up close#and the world wants to fucking separate you from it all#maybe it’s autism#like. interests and inner worlds and imagination#being deemed unnecessary or inappropriate or somehow a concern#do you remember being treated strange and almost morally bad for having an imagination you acknowledged#like. kids are supposed to stuff it down and start participating in conditioned society#instead of creating and playing and showing what they know#they’re taught early that what they feel is always wrong in some way

This is so disappointing! All these bajillion-dollar companies and corporations gotta do is PAY THEIR PEOPLE!!! It literally shouldn’t be that difficult!!! Honestly, who was allowed to put a price tag on morals? Common sense? Empathy? DO BETTER!!! Because it’s really looking and steadily getting hopeless out here in these streets and the people SITTING ON LITERAL BILLIONS don’t want to do SHIT but ask the folks with shallow(er) pockets to attempt to save the day. ALL YOU CLOWNS CAN LITERALLY POOL YOUR MONEY AND SAVE THE WORLD WITH IT AND STILL (possibly) BE (considerably) WEALTHY!!!!
on the announcement that Disney+ is removing a plethora of shows and films from its service, please read these tweets from Willow writer John Bickerstaff. this is not a tax writeoff like Batgirl, because these projects have already been released. this is a move designed to cut off financial support in the form of residuals, and break the spirit of the strike. here is the deadline article that lists the films/shows that will be removed.
as always, donate to the entertainment community fund, vocally support the WGA online and irl, or join a picket in a major US city if you can. let them know they can't keep getting away with things like this.
#disney#wga#wga strike#miscellaneous#jay#just my thoughts#capitalism#capitalist system#capitalist society#capitalist bullshit#entertainment#media#do better#the rich need to step tf up#don’t buy that third yacht#what’s wrong with some of y’all?!#support creators#pay them what they’re worth

please tell me why a boy i’m talking to calling me pretty has sent me spiraling
#i think it does have a lot to do w the fact that really only my family has ever commented on my looks like that. ‘oh ur so pretty’#so of course i was fine w not really being perceived as attractive or beautiful bc i never got those comments really from other people#or when my friends compliment me i just assume they’re being nice#and i am well aware that that thought process is unfair to them and me but i just genuinely cannot believe it#i’m almost twenty three and this is the first time i’ve received attention from the opposite sex like that and now i’m really really#looking at my looks again and it’s just like. i don’t see it. i was very neutral on my appearance bc i know that in a patriarchal society#my worth as a woman is based upon how i look and present#and i really don’t accept that. i am worth a whole lot by myself and i’m not gonna let corporations and men tell me what to do with my body#but jesus christ i do so badly wish i didn’t look the way i did#and it’s so pathetic to be this upset about it at my big age but what is so wrong with me that no one has ever wanted to be#in a relationship with me? like who would willingly stoop so low? no one wants a lonely insecure woman with no experience#and i know it’s pathetic it’s super pathetic but it hurts me so bad idk what to do#anyways pls don’t reblog obviously this is just a vent
