The Villain and Hero Switch...🙄

On my Maleficent salt again. If anyone ever wants help understanding my hesitance to give live action remakes a shot, look no further. I honestly did want to like the movie at first, but them just taking the story and switching the villain and non-villain roles felt like a cheap cop out.

The fairies thing really pissed me off. In the first film, they were immortal magical beings who had trouble doing things the mortal way. Did that make them imperfect guardians? Sure! But they did their best successfully for just under SIXTEEN YEARS. Then the curse caught up with them, because of course it did. It had to. There wouldn't be a story otherwise. That wasn't a good enough reason to make them criminally negligent in the live action version in order to make Maleficent look like a hero by comparison. I love the fairies from the original movie. They made mistakes, yes, but all good heroes do. AND they SAVED THE DAY!!! Phillip would've frikin died without them, and so would've Aurora!

...huh...I think I'm realizing that maybe my hesitance to give remakes, live action or otherwise, of my animated faves might have a root cause...

Anyway, I do understand that adaptations should change some things in order to justify their existence. After all, a shot for shot remake is also lazy and boring. However, a lot of the time, the remakes just make lazy choices. Like Maleficent being turned into a thinly veiled date-rape allegory and switching the hero and villain roles instead of...I don't know... giving Maleficent a deeper motive for her villainy besides being snubbed for a party invite while still letting her be the fabulous villain we all love. Or instead of focusing on Maleficent at all, they could have focused on giving Aurora more of a story. Maybe showing us how out of place she felt growing up, and what finding out who her real parents are meant to her. Also expanding on her relationship with her "aunts". Have the fairies learning to be mortal a more pivotal part of their experience. Making Maleficent a hero at the expense of villainizing King Stephen, making Queen Leah even less of a character, and Flanderizing the fairies feels...well, lazy. Aurora was one of the few Disney Princesses with two loving parents. Why remove that distinction instead of expanding on their story? They had to give up their only child in order to save her life. Not only is there conflict for them as her parents, there's conflict for them as monarchs. I think a good writer could have made that a compelling story. But no...they just had to make King Stephen evil, for...reasons...

Look, it's not even like I'm against taking the villain of an original story and turning them into the hero. I just want there to be a good reason for it. For example, I love the story of Wicked. I think making Elphaba the hero worked really well, because in the original movie (I didn't actually read the books...sorry. But in my defense, I feel like most Wicked/Wizard of Oz fans probably haven't either? We're all Judy Garland trash) In the original movie the titular Wizard is enough of a morally grey character that you could argue that he could have been a villain actually, and the Wicked Witch of the West was such a one dimensional character that you could take her in so many directions and keep her recognizable (btw, I'm not saying it's bad the 3W is one dimensional. It worked for the story, but it gave the fanfics author something to build on). Also, I feel like Wicked the novel doesn't remove all the moral greyness from Elphaba's character, and it makes her interesting. There's a story to tell there! I can dig it! It's when adaptations completely switch the role of hero and villain so completely and abruptly that I get annoyed.

What they did was less a retelling than making up a completely different story altogether. Stephan and Leah were minor characters in the original story, yes. But they could've remained loving parents to Aurora, and Maleficent could've remained the villain and still been part of a great, expanded story.

Then maybe Maleficent could've still turned into a dragon instead of giving her stupid pet bird that moment.

(content warning for cheating and drugging/date rape, with Husk as the victim)

I had a little conversation with @monstrousvoice the other day - could Husk ever be drunk enough to cheat on his partner? Specifically in his present state at the hotel?

It was different when he was an Overlord. He didn't have to watch his alcohol consumption then, and he could fuck anyone he wanted. If he ended up sleeping with a mob boss's partner or something, hey, that's their problem, not his. Even directly after his fall, sleeping with strangers wasn't a problem. Sure, it left him feeling lonelier than ever after he left, but what didn't leave him feeling worse anymore? How is he supposed to care about anything at this stage?

But it's different now. Now he has a partner, someone he deeply loves after years of fearing that he couldn't anymore. Someone he wants to improve for. Someone who, if he ever hurt them with his bullshit, he could never forgive himself. He'd be better, he promised himself he'd be better-

So why the fuck is he waking up in a stranger's bed again?! As soon as he realizes where he is, he breaks into a panicked sweat. He can't have done this again. He may not remember anything specific, but both he and the stranger are naked, so what the fuck else could have happened?

It's so hard for him to tell you what happened that night. For a day or two, he lets you assume that he disappeared overnight because he got into another fight over a gamble gone bad. You keep fawning over him, asking if he's sure he's not hurt, if there's anything you can do, and the more you fawn, the worse he feels. Eventually, he has to admit it. He cheated. He drank himself to a blackout and woke up with a stranger. Of course it wasn't fucking worth it! No one could ever be worth destroying your trust in him! But he can't lie to you, and he can't take it back... he'll do anything to earn your trust back, but understands if there's nothing he can do to make up for this...

He can't remember a thing. Why can't he remember a fucking thing? He usually remembers his trysts, even if it's through a choppy haze, but this time, there's nothing. He can see the person he woke up next to, but can't remember ever touching them.

Hell, the more he thinks about that room, he remembers being there with you. Kissing and touching your body, calling your name, hearing your voice... when he thinks of being with you in that room, and not anyone else, the memory is suddenly so clear.

He did drink a lot that night... enough that he might not have been as attentive to his glasses as he would normally be.

There are love potions in hell that make the drugged party see you as the person they feel the most lust for, alongside the usual side-effects of things like dulling judgment and resistance...

Is that what fucking happened to him? He was drugged?

Would you even believe him if he told you that?

Rohypnol

Rohypnol is a brand name for a drug called flunitrazepam, a powerful sedative. It is a tranquilliser around ten times more potent than Valium (diazepam). Usually rohypnol comes as a white or dark-green pill but it can be crushed into a powder.

The effects of rohypnol start 20-30 minutes after taking the drug but may continue for up to 12 hours after. The person may collapse and someone who has taken it will experience loss of muscle control, confusion, drowsiness, slow reaction times and amnesia. Sometimes people who have taken rohypnol cannot remember what happened when they were on the drug.

Medically, rohypnol is used to treat insomnia however it has gained a notorious reputation as a date rape drug due to the fact it is tasteless, odourless and dissolves in liquids, leading it to be used by people to commit sexual assault.

Spiking drinks is illegal in most countries but often goes unreported.

Yet even before he had stripped off her clothing she remembered thinking, I made my bed, and now I have to lie in it.

I have a very complicated relationship with Poison Ivy’s character.

On one hand, some versions of her are really great, and I do enjoy her there, particularly her relationship with Harley and her love for plants and the Earth.

But on the other...I was rereading The Long Halloween, and in the sixth part, she puts Bruce Wayne under a spell, and there is a panel of her trapping him with vines while influenced by her pheromones and pulling him in to have sex.

No matter how much I enjoy parts of her character, I cannot forget that she had canonically raped people and that one of the foundations of her character is her using pheromones to drug people akin to date rape.

Idk if this is how you do or are supposed to do this, but TRIGGER WARNING for mentions of rape.

My mom told me recently that I was a product of date rape. She didn't use those words, but when she described it to me and I told her that sounds like date rape, she said well, you have to think about the times.

Looking it up, spousal rape wasn't even recognized in NY state until like 1995 or something, so I assume other states followed after that, and the with difference between being married vs dating, she essentially said she didn't feel comfortable trying to report it, especially given her history with the police.

I now get to spend the rest of my life knowing that I shouldn't exist, that I am the product and the cause of their misery, marriage, and divorce. I'm also directly responsible for my brother's existence (conceived on their honeymoon, they married because my mom got pregnant with me) and his trauma from the insanity of my parents.

The most fucked up thing is I've felt this way literally my whole life, that I was the cause of my parents marriage, my brothers existence, and their divorce, and now knowing that I literally was right.. just damn. I just feel bad for existing.

If anyone else can relate or recommend resources for processing this, that would be appreciated.

Date Rape

Rape is when someone has a sexual act with a girl without her consent. In the case of a date rape, the girl is aware of the one who raped her. Many a times the girls are given drugs or alcohol and then raped in such a way they may not be able to stop it. Hence teen age girls should be aware of date drugs to protect themselves against rape. Moreover the parents should also educate their teen age girls about this danger and teach them to prevent date rape and protect themselves.

Date Rape Drug Testing and Prevention

American Screening Corporation is the leading supplier of high quality drug testing kits for Date Rape. This test is carried out with human sample like urine, blood and hair to detect drugs like Rohypnol, GHB, and Ketamine. If detected in the victim’s sample, then it is proved that the victim is drugged without his knowledge and sexually assaulted. The victim can seek justice and above all this test creates awareness for teens who do not wish to undergo testing due to shame or fear.

One time this dumbass busted ass stripper tried to feed me date rape drug laced coke to rob me after I gave her the only real MDMA she'd ever seen in her life. I knew it, and I just kept doing more as she grew confused and worried, cuz she didn't know I was always the last one to pass out after doing everyone's drugs. I love watching the look of disappointment, and then fear, on people's faces thinkin they're gonna come up dirty, then realize I know and I'm purposely wasting their time.

The Date Rape Nail Polish.

The creepy guy at the house party… Let us just be clear… the ANTI-Date Rape Nail Polish. The media frenzy erupted following reports that four students from North Carolina had developed a nail polish capable of detecting “date rape” drugs. Allegedly, users could simply dip a finger into a drink and observe a color change, indicating the presence of substances like rohypnol, Xanax, or gamma…

She had never felt so confused and disoriented in her life. She had wanted an adventure, but not in the way he said. She had wanted him to kiss her, but she wouldn't have had sex with him if he hadn't cornered her, and if she hadn't been drunk.
