#Because there are no protectors left

The problem with both Feminism (the political movement) and Anti-Feminism (the political movement) is that they give spineless, selfish men a free pass, in mirror image of each other. The one says that Womyn is Capable Of Anything A Man Is Capable Of (or more so, let's be honest, there are plenty of women who think that we as a society don't need men to function which is just... stunningly idiotic). The other says Well Women Have Fought To Be Equal so Any Woman Who Needs Help For Anything Is Just Entitled (which I just got told by a sterling example of the male sex. I blocked him.)
Or, in summary, Feminism (the political movement) is reeking misandry and Anti-Feminism (the political movement) is reeking misogyny.
#Where have all the good men gone#Yeah yeah āwhere are all the good womenā#In this case? Hiding from the bad men.#Because there are no protectors left#And so hiding is the best option#I amend that: there are some protectors left#But they are a minority#Feminism has made selfishness very very easy for irresponsible men no matter which stance they take on it#Anyway this post has been brought to you by Bri Is Just Tired Of People#And has been vividly reminded today of the proportion of good men I've met versus the ones who are lackluster to despicable

Commander Johnson, I-I think I found what or who been stealing our extra spare material supplies
Astronaut Jennifer said in the com as she stared, standing stiff as a board if it weren't for the gravity of Mars making it difficult.
What she was staring at couldn't be human but yet so close and eldritchic- alien like as the inner part of her mind was screaming danger danger, That Is Not A Human Being, Run RUN RUN,HIDENOWHIDENOWNOWNOW
It's look like a adult, a very slim and very tall adult if it weren't for the fact that his skin was tanned with a bit of splash of starlights all over, wearing a suit made of galaxies covered in red Mars rocks, his hair was white, whiter then the clouds on earth, ears pointy and curled a bit as if it wa to shield or reflect to what its was hearing(but they has moved back in a aggressive manner thar remind her of snuffles when threaten) and eyes glows so ominously Neon Green with black instead of white surrounding the iris, splatter of star like freckles that looks like he almost has two pupils mixing into a slits like in each of them.
Teeths razor sharp and thick, as the thing looks like it was growling at her with his body arch over, hands with extra digits of long blacken claws like nails dig into the dirt, hiding all the stuff that the alien had stolen along with a lil head of another mar baby, it weren't for the fact there was no sounds in space, she would've been screaming float running back to her headquarters base.
She was only patrolling the part of the base where they were trying to grow plants in one of the green houses they painstaking made on Mar, but then she saw the glow of unnatural green slipping out of the sealed tight glass.
Curiosity took the best of her as she put on her suit and went to check at that spot is where she find what seem to be a native Mar creature and its baby hoarding all the missing stuffs that they had lost in the base, along with the missing robot, opportunity as the top of it's hoard pile in a makeshift hole(it's a Nest and she has enter this creatures domains) near a small pool full of of oddly frozen water that glowed luminous.
It was a stand off between her and the creature not moving an inch until Jennifer's coms responded back as she flinched, her heart dropping snd face paling dramatically when the creature's ear flick a bit as it heard the static electric device.
"J-J-J-Jennifer, do you copy? I repeat, Do you copy?!?" Commander Johnson spoke a bit frantic.
Unawared of the danger he had put Jennifer in when she flinched, the creature lunged, Jennifer scrambling to turn around and hop/run back into the safety of the base as fast as she could.
Like inspiration for @tinycoded360
#danny phantom#the martian#dp prompt#danny left earth after the nasty explode#he went to mars#and never left#Feral danny#space core danny#gremlin danny#he saw opportunity the space rover and went decide to save it and kept it safe#2037 NASA finds out opportunity is alive again and asked the astronaut coloning on it to find opportunity when they can#all they see in opportunity camera is a glitch mess but opportunity still does it's duty of sending materials to earth#ellie came along with because she wasn't going to let danny exile himself without a exile buddy and got caught up in exploring mars#that she became feral and smaller with Danny as her protector-(papa) who feed her ecto even if the portals on mars are rare and random#to get more nature ecto beside the small frozen water full of it on mars but that for emergencies#de aged ellie#I'll updated more sooner or later

emily prentiss + leaving and coming back for her family
#criminal minds#criminalmindsedit#criminalmindsverse#proceduraledit#emily prentiss#emilyprentissedit#cmverseedit#tvedit#filmtvcentral#dailyflicks#femalecharacters#bitchys#mine#edit#*#category*#tag meta#forever thinking about emily prentiss as a yoyo falling away from her family and coming back when they tug#and that her motivation for back and forth is the same - it's always about what she thinks is best for her family in that moment#her choice is always to protect them and the fact that she leaves to protect them from HER? that she always sees herself as the problem??#(she ruined matthew she betrayed doyle she killed tsia)#BUT BUT BUT them needing her? hotch asking her to lead reid asking her to fight jj asking her to stay??? she always /always/ comes back#and i find it very interesting that this yoyoing usually runs parallel to her own moral reflection - she left the first time because she#both morally objected to strauss's political game and to protect the team as individuals. she came back in s7 because she wanted something#'clean.' and she considered leaving in s13 and s17 because she had broken her own moral code each time. and that's such a meaty facet#of emily as a character because her priority is ALWAYS her family and protecting them. but what that looks like changes and costs#and is never ever an easy choice for her. emily does what she needs to as a protector but she doesn't let herself off the hook. she thinks#DEEPLY about what she does and whether she's ok with her actions. which sends her toward distancing herself from her family#for their own protection (because she's the problem see above) and the whole cycle starts again!!#(someday i'll rant about how this all ties into her leaving in run - the one time it was about HER but also not - but i'm out of tag space)

Itās easy for people to criticize protectors for how we react to perceived threats ā
Some of us get defensive, some of us get loud, or completely freeze up, or run for safety, or suddenly collapse and canāt move, or become mute, or have extreme fawn reactions ā¦ and to the outside, it seems over the top.
Or maybe you think itās not fair that we saw you as a threat because you got angry and yelled. Maybe you think itās childish that we sprinted out of the house or scary that we kicked into āfightā mode.
We had to identify threats fast. We had to do what it took to survive. To protect our system and our physical body and mind.
And we can and should learn to react more proportionally. But our instincts arenāt ridiculous or made to victimize you. They made sense in the traumatic environment that created us. Theyāre the only reason weāre still here now.
We still fall back on that because it worked and we survived.
#actually did#actually dissociative#osddid#sysblr#dissociative identity disorder#did system#actually osdd#sbc system tag: thorn š„#I am the āangryā protector#Iāve been learning how to handle conflict better#I know I canāt just flip out on people#I know trauma isnāt an excuse#for losing control#but right now#someone is mad at me#for identifying their behavior as threatening#and removing myself from the situation#because I knew I was triggered#and I couldnāt control my response#so I left#and then tried to talk about my concerns later#and this person#is PISSED#purely because#I was seeing red flags#and even though I stepped away and left the room#theyāre upset that I was triggered by them#Iāve seen people get upset#when Casper or Lyka run away and hide#saying itās childish

Okay itās 3am and I have to be at my first day of work at my new job in seven hours.. but I just had a THOUGHT.
So hear me out- Jay can control electricity. Obviously.
But has anyone else considered the idea of him being able to basically mind control other people?? Or hack their bodies?? Since humans literally run on electrical impulses??
Now I know Nya canāt draw the water out of his lungs, but that doesnāt mean that using your element inside someone elseās body is impossible. Maybe thatās just confined to other elemental masters. And of course I havenāt seen DR yet (two episodes away from finishing Crystallized!! Iāll have caught up with DR by this time next week for certain), but Iāve heard a lot of discussion about Jay coming back as a villain in S2ā¦ can you imagine how absolutely batshit of a villain Jay concept would be if he came back and just mind controlled people?? And it would totally tie into his cult leader antics as well (Iām still so sad that the League of Jays was pretty much abandoned after the first couple episodesā¦ it was such a funny concept and couldāve actually been used for some fantastic plot/character development ā¦ butā¦ alas :( )
Anyway. Basically all that to say I just got smacked in the face with a new Villain Jay idea and Iām soooo going to start using him for fic stuff. Maybe Iāll even tie it in to the AU concept Iāve been working on for a while.. maybe..
#Ninjago#lego ninjago#Jay Ninjago#jay walker#villain Jay walker#I havenāt talked about my AU concept yet but Iām really in love with it HAH#we get lots of angst.. and it primarily focuses on Zane and Pixal since theyāre the only two left for like a thousand years#basically all the rest of the cast merge with their elements for plot reasons#but Zane either canāt cause heās a robot#or refuses because the people of Ninjago still need a protector#so he and Pixal stay#and the other former ninjas become old deities/gods#no one believes they actually ever existed#but they worship them as divine beings#theyāve passed into myth and legend and Zane and Pix are pretty haunted by losing them and being the only ones to remember their lives#eventually they will come back but they wil probably be wrong and my Nindroids wonāt know how to feel or handle it#I canāt wait to write that actually#but Jay getting reanimated as a villain would be sooooo rad

yeah so that scene where mike kicks down the fort in his basement in s1 is definitely supposed to be paralleled by will taking down castle byers in s3. just if anyone cares about when mike turned his back on being a kid.
#stranger things#80s#the duffer brothers#byler#miwi#will byers#mike wheeler#byler endgame#st5#ive heard people say it symbolizes him losing trust in el#and thats a good interpretation#until you watch the next scene where he's talking to dustin and feeling bad for how he treated el#like it would work...#but NO#because he takes the fort down right after he#1: is told that his attempts to find will are actually doing the opposite and ensuring he's left to die in the upside down#2: is accused of caring more about being liked by a girl than saving his best friend#3: fights with lucas who gets hurt and leaves to look for will alone -- bc he thinks his chances of finding will are better without mike#4: loses el after the fight with lucas-- another friend that went missing under his nose#5: LOSES EL. his one link to will. his last hope.#in my opinion this was reality sinking in#this was him realizing that this isnt some campaign that they could win and be okay at the end of#he felt the most hopeless he ever had and tore down the only safe place in his home#him tearing down the fort wasnt him losing trust in el it was him losing hope and confidence in himself as a leader and friend#and yknow he jumps off the quarry right after that... mayhaps thinking it was all he had to offer anymore...???#AND THEN HE TRIES TO REBUILD IT AT THE END OF S1 BUT IT JUST SLOWLY DISAPPEARS PIECE BY PIECE IN S2 & 3#in the following seasons -- even when his friends are goofing off and acting their age -- mike is decidedly not#he puts himself in the role of a leader and protector at age 12 and literally never comes back from it#and yeah the more he 'fails' at it the worse he feels about himself the more he tries to grow up#me waiting for s5 to confirm mike's complicated and incredibly intricate and well written character status

#tamora pierce#tortall#song of the lioness#the immortals#protector of the small#trickster series#provost dog#I tried to make these slightly more niche characters in the hopes it would create more interesting discourse#because just choosing names got me thinking about who could end up having a really interesting story of their own#so I hope others find it fun#also I left out Maura or Nealās daughter on purpose because Tammy has talked about those before

Taking aside whether everything we've seen is fully true or not (though I subtly doubt that since the writers have mentioned they will revisit a lot of the previous past scenes in season 2), the way Louis narrates is limiting on its own for both Lestat and Claudia. Omitting entire years' worth of time and only giving Daniel (and us) the barebones information through vital moments still leaves me with a lot of questions regarding Claudia in particular. Because sure, Daniel HAS the diaries, but who's to say they haven't been tampered with more than Louis even lets on? And specifically, when it comes to the 10 years overall after Claudia comes back, we see no diary in Daniel's vicinity. The only time we do see some is at the end of episode 7, of which one contains Lestat's final words, the other is about their trip to Europe after the murder. That leaves us with only Louis as the main source of information for this time period, but Louis isn't above solely giving Daniel scenarios in order to place Claudia or Lestat in specific roles through how he experienced them in the past.
Case in point, episode 6 has no killings from Claudia. We don't see her hunt, not even to go after a man or stalk him, we definitely don't see her kill, despite all episodes before or after that containing some explicit killings with her. I say this because to Louis, Claudia was his nurse/knight/protector/sister during this particular period of time. And even subconsciously, he ends up painting her as such to the point where we also don't even get much information about Claudia and how she even traveled in episode 5? We only get one piece of information about it with the train scene, but we still get absolutely nothing about how: 1) she even came to reading about vampires, 2) how she managed during her 7 years alone, 3) any basic information about her plans beyond her catching a train for going outside of New Orleans, or even about how she learned languages. The only information we even get specifically is regarding her horrible encounter with Bruce, but again, this later ends up serving more as an apparent parallel to Louis' later situation with Lestat than it is even about Claudia, who suffered through an assault.
I would also argue the same thing in regards to the 6 years they spent alone together, as well. Louis wants Daniel to think of Claudia in a better light, he makes her out to be his savior and the only person that seems to want better for him, yet at the same time leaves out any further details about the years they lived with each other (and not with Lestat) in Rue Royale after he recuperated? Why? And this isn't even to argue that Claudia may not have been as perfect, rather that Louis cuts out so much context as to how they were like with each other after she came back that I end up getting only so much information about Claudia solely when it comes to how it affected or was connected to Louis.
Louis is telling the story here, and even with Claudia's diaries (which Daniel now knows Louis has tampered with), we only end up seeing what Louis wants us to see. This is why I hope season 2 changes some of this because I would really like to just know more about Claudia and her own feelings regarding all the later situations with her and Louis.
#interview with the vampire#claudia#louis de pointe du lac#any time I think about Claudia and how we still don't get enough context about her and what SHE felt I just to a little crazy tbh#like yes I know she was Louis' nurse/sister/knight in shining armor/protector and Lestat's apparent murderer but WHAT ELSE#did she imagine how she would meet her own companion when she talked about travelling to these European places?#how did she get the idea to start doing research for them? how did she move about in at least 4 different eastern states?#what were her feelings about Louis specifically taking back Lestat and then dismissively telling her to 'do more'#like even with her diaries I feel like I only have a half-painted picture of her#and I NEED more#i want more because if she's truly dead that means that Louis is fine with tearing out pages of her diaries which are likely#the only things left of her??#idek where to start with how fucked up that is in order for HER diaries to be torn up#in order for Louis to stick to his own side of the story and say its final

and now he's suddenly freaking out. okay. back to bed
#šŖ.words#he thinks we're all gonna fuse back into him without warning and he'll be left alone again#not possible#especially because most of us are protectors to some degree and he fuckin needs us#if the threats were gone maybe we would be too#but there's still threats

TIL while checking my Steam achievements that you can get the achievement "Ceremorphosis" even if Tav/Durge doesn't become illithid, and another member of the party does
What I meant to say is that sorry and thank you Karlach you earned me an early achievement
#hel is talking#bg3 spoilers#baldur's gate 3 spoilers#bg3#to be perfectly honest I actually planned for Raynee to become mind flayer at first#because this would be a cool conclusion to her character arc to go from selfish/sold her soul to the great old one for survival#to selfless āthe best option is my sacrificeā party protector#after betraying the emperor for lae'zel she would have got only one choice#but then Karlach proposed herself and after talking with her in length about that she decided to respect her wishes#honestly I'm not sure if it's a good ending for Karlach (or the mind flayer she transformed into) but she seemed happy in the epilogue#and normally there's no elder brain that can enthrall her left so maybe she'll just be like the emperor before#living her life#hel's world in bg3

I've been struggling along with literally one set of sheets for a long time. Zephyr ruined the others by peeing on them so often that I wasn't able to wash them quickly or often enough and they ended up close to impossible to fix.
It wasn't as bad as it might have been because, well, I was afraid to put any bedding on the bed except mattress protectors for a long time, but she started tearing up the mattress protectors, and she had been good for a while. So... I bought a new set of sheets and a blanket too.
(Well, two blankets, but the first was knitted with more texture than I realized, and it was also very thin, so she destroyed it.)
I had the blanket on the bed for, like, three days. I put the new sheets on the bed for the first time yesterday.
Guess what she did today.
#I'm just trying not to cry lol#I'm lucky I had a clean mattress protectors because I only have 3 of those left I think :/#nightmare diary

just remembered in the wind by lord huron. going to have to lie down for an hour to recover
#it's the chord progression mirroring ends of the earth#it's the way it slowly and seamlessly fades both in and out. like how people pass through our lives#it's the 'when you left i was far too young to know you're worth more than the moon and the sun'#it's the futility of waiting for them to return. of letting your life pass you by because what if they do come back? but you had moved on?#it's the 'death is a wall but it cant be the end. you are my protector and my best friend'#it's the knowledge that you should be able to move on. but their ghost will always be clinging on to you#et cetera et cetera. fuck#lord huron
