A Cure for Barbarity

The grand old manor of Northcrest provided more luxurious accommodations than most in the rag-tag group of soldiers in the company of the Rising Dawn were accustomed to - if they ignored the peeling wallpaper, smell of mold and the manor's creeping, foul-tempered owner. Unfortunately, Alex couldn't do the latter. She needed to wrangle their prisoner-turned-annoyance wizard Hyden into doing any work at all, and that meant negotiating with his self-appointed apprentice and biggest fan, their host with the least, Baron Theopolis North. Now she had two egotistical, unstable mages to deal with, which was two more than she ever wanted.

She was common, he was the worst kind of arrogant old-blood nobility, she no-nonsense, he excessively prone to nonsense, she hated Hyden, he adored the man beyond all reason. It was inevitable that tensions between the rat and bat would boil over into conflict. True, Alex was a disciplined soldier who knew how to keep a cool head in times of stress, but the mad mage of Northcrest knew how to get under her skin... in more ways than one.

I hurt someone with stupid, dirty, filthy words. I’ll ignore it, but if I take it seriously, I’ll feel hurt again. I’m starting to hate something I used to love. You won’t do it and can’t do it. Don’t talk like a hot shot.

it's all fun and games until your goofy ass kinnie jokes actually start to bring some interesting similarities to light.

Bit of a whinge, sorry.

I am in a predominantly anti-ship fandom. Whatever, I keep my head down.

But something I find really frustrating is this: I personally am unbothered/ scroll on past sexual stuff I don't like, but am very effected by gore, horror, excessive violence etc. I have no major trauma, I am not a minor, and even if I did have an 'excuse' I don't think I should have to have some kind of reason to ask people to tag gory stuff. But so many just don't, or say they do but forget half the time.

Thing is, it's the antis that don't tag it, share it untagged to their sfw blogs, post about characters being suicidal or very violent in their AUs etc. There's always about 10 different vampire AUs with excessive blood-eating and rarely tagged (sometimes with #bl00d, which is just great) - and a lot of them are specifically and militantly anti-proship. Now, since I purged all 'proship dni's from my follow list, I don't see untagged anything unless I go into the character tags.

The source material is happy little animal heroes saving the day, no blood and only cartoon-ish violence, basically immortal characters - so it's not a case of getting out of the kitchen if you don't like heat. Yes, it is probably the one you think.

So, even if I thought fiction was some kind of moral litmus test and that the proshippers sexualising the characters were doing something wrong - my peace and mental wellbeing are still better protected by being around proshippers rather than antis.

Tagging is always great.

I used to have a really hard time bringing up the fact that I graduated from high school a year late without feeling the need to explain why and insisting that it wasn't my fault while simultaneously kicking myself for how much I sounded like I was just making excuses for something I should take responsibility for.

Then I watched Dimension 20's "The Seven" and suddenly I could simply say that I was a super senior.

The first time I heard the phrase "super senior" was in reference to Antiope Jones, a Black girl who had been held back a year after getting kidnapped and imprisoned by members of a fundamentalist cult, and like, girl, same.

So, since then, instead of anxiously spinning out any time I tried to tell a personal high school anecdote, I could just say I was a super senior, and then my brain would auto complete that statement with "like Antiope Jones" and I'd feel good about myself because Antiope Jones Is That Bitch.

That's what the problem had been the whole time. I wasn't worried about how other people would perceive me; I had been struggling with how I perceived myself.

Thanks, Aabria.

Cofronting with your in-system partner is very nice because you get to just. Be there with them but different because you're in one body. I'm cuddling in headspace with him while he's got main body control and is scrolling through Pinterest and it's almost like we're in separate psychical bodies in a way. But it's closer in a way too? It's hard to describe but I think in-system relationships should be acknowledged more and not just treated as cringe or lesser.

People (usually outside of system community groups but not always) feel like they have a judgemental vibe towards in-system partners even if they accept other aspects of systems with open arms. Like it feels like some see it as sad to "have no one else". I'm poly and I have an in-system partner and an out-of-system partner and I don't see either of them as lesser because guess what? They're both people, within my system or not. I don't "have no one else", I love both of them a lot and I wouldn't trade either of them for the other.

Having an in-system relationship like that can be so... Healing, too. Like not only are they there a lot of the time compared to out of system partners so you have more support but you get to have such a close bond with someone in your own brain. And considering you have to share the body, I'd rather be friends with my headmates at least so it doesn't feel like I'm stuck at a horrible office job for the rest of my life. Dating someone just means you're closer to another aspect of your system and really it in our experience makes us feel more... Unified when there's complex positive relationships between us. For some systems it's actively a part of healing from trauma to get to be friends or at least tolerant of your headmates and sometimes it leads to dating which can be a huge benefit whether you're going for functional multiplicity or integration or anything. Of course it's not the only way to heal, that would be silly to even imply, it's just... Really not a thing that should be so looked down upon.

It's not cringe to "only be able to get with your headmates" because they tend to know others in their system better than most people outside of it on the basis of sharing a brain and being aware of things like inner thought processes. For some people they'd even prefer to only date their system members and that's great and shouldn't come with the sentiment of "they can't get with anyone else, that's sad".

WAIT I JUST THOUGHT OF A GREAT BARRY WHUMP STORY IDEA

Content: Blackmail, human experimentation, dehumanization, hidden whump.

Sometime after Firestorm goes off the radar, General Eiling sets his sights on the Flash. But since regular kidnapping was ineffective and resulted in a rescue last time, he tries a different approach.

He presents Barry with an ultimatum: Become a lab rat for the military, bring himself in every week or so for blood samples, tests, and very ethical experiments. Or have his identity as the Flash ‘anonymously’ revealed, jeopardizing the lives and safety of his loved ones (or something else for the blackmail— that’s just what I’ve thought of atm). Ofc, since this is whump, he chooses the first option.

A fun little detail about this deal though… He can’t tell anyone about it, and if he does, that person will mysteriously disappear. And they *will* know if he does, they’re keeping a close eye on such a valuable asset of course.

There’s just so much whump potential

The testing goes too far but Barry doesn’t have a choice so he suffers through it

Eiling reminding him that he chose to do this

Barry having to hide his pain (physical and emotional) from everyone. Especially since they can probably tell something’s going on

A test going WAY too far and leaving an injury that’s extremely difficult to hide

Dehumanization from the scientists and (probably) Eiling

Barry having a tracker put in him so he can’t try to back out or flee with his loved ones (bonus if Barry tries to escape when he sees what they’re about to put in him, but gets metacuffed before he can. Double bonus if he says something along the lines of “this wasn’t part of the deal,” because in my head this is the first thing they do to him)

Some more emotional whump— Barry breaking down after some weeks or maybe months of enduring this because he just feels so miserable and powerless (bonus if it’s either in front of someone on Team Flash, or he lets himself collapse and sob into them)

That’s all I’ve gotten so far but holy crap do I want this now
