So, just curious how many writers and creators will have to be forcibly outed by relentless harassment before we acknowledge that "This queer characters was written by a cishet person and that's why they're bad" is not good criticism.
#yes i'm just going to come out and say it i'm talking about sera#not exclusively but i am talking about her#'but her writer actually iS A--' you don't know that! it doesn't matter! and i don't care!#just say that you do not like the character.#people will reblog posts about the latest actor or YA author or whatever getting forced out of the closet and be like#'wow. :( that's terrible.'#and then GO RIGHT BACK TO DOING IT#when are we going to learn#when are we going to stop doing this BEFORE somebody is forcibly outed#because in practical terms#that means you have to be okay with queer characters being written by straight people.#you have to stop weaponizing that against writers you don't like.#you have to be willing to critique the writing on its own merits#without using the writer's (assumed) identity to prop up your arguments#that's how it works#but who wants to actually change the way they talk about media#when tearing apart people's identities for clout is far more entertaining.#gwaren exports#fandom problems#fandom critical

*sighs* I miss Penelope. I want Penelope :(
#and no I don't mean a cardboard cutout that just says “wife”#I want HER. as HERSELF.#not just some prop for her husband or her son.#I love Odysseus but you can't even say you love her as she is without people immediately saying you ARE Odysseus.#like. no. I love her too. she's my favorite. my pookie. It's not just Odysseus that loves and NOR SHOULD IT BE.#like I joke about it a lot. but the fact that no one really gives her attention in the same way as they do with her. is a bit disheartening#especially when they do so much with other characters.#Mad rambles#penelope of ithaca#am I allowed to make pathetic posts like this? I don't usually do but idk. I wanna say shit more often. chatter more.#Water Wife#I'm scared that it'll cause shit though.#penelope

Alicent being ignored as a parent during those first few years. Alicent being expected to take care of aegon, while also allowing Viserys to take him whenever he so pleased, to show off and pass around like a model toy. Alicent being denied her child whenever lords and ladies were around. Alicent only getting him back when she was at her wits end, stressed after being separated from him for so long, watching people hold him wrong, play with him wrong, touch him wrong. Alicent only getting him back when he is fussy and no longer a source of entertainment for Viserys and his guests. Alicent holding her baby close to her chest during outings or events, stiffening when people ask to see him, hesitant to release her grip on him. Alicent biting her tongue when people ask to "give her a break" when she really wants to tell them that it's her baby and she's perfectly capable. Alicent being so exhausted from guests and Aegon being so little and full of energy, and her second pregnancy, causing her to doze with Aegon in her arms, only to nearly lash out when someone tries to slip him from her arms, engulfing him in her arms as if to fend him from hungry wolves. Alicent carrying him around, even as she grows tired, her arms burning and back aching, so she knows he is safe, away from prying hands and acrid whispers, away from his father's attempts to use him for amusement purposes. Alicent feigning a smile, feigning composure and enjoyment, when really, she just wants to be home, in her chambers with her son, where no one can bother them, where they aren't props meant to smile and wave for a man who does not love them.
(inspired by this reblog of my post from earlier. cause yes, @squgs [hope you don't mind me tagging] is right, she would very much go to war for her baby)
#protective mom alicent for the win#I feel like there isnt enough focus in how Viserys treats Alicent and Aegon like props in those first few years#he wasnt a parent or a proper husband unless he could show them off#he treated them almost like toys#and I feel like Alicent would want to rip her hair out over it#she hates feeling like shes on display. but she can suck it up and bute her tongue#with Aegon though? she's a lot less willing to just let it happen#but of course. what can she do? he's the king after all. she's just his little lady wife#just because she's forced to lie down and take it doesn't mean she has to like it or be willing#alicent hightower#aegon targaryen#aegon ii targaryen#hotd#house of the dragon#pro team green#anti viserys i targaryen#I hate that man so fucking much#people act like he loved alicent and aegon in those first few years#but he clearly didn't#he just pretended to#he was just using them for his own benefit

you mentioned the arrows stealing tim from the bats and i just had the hilarious idea of that + jaytim
poor oliver would lose his mind bc he goes and saves tim from the bats and then tim brings one of them home
put it back tim you don't know where that's been
i'm CRYING this is so funny. it's even funnier given what Jason did to Mia. like of all the morally questionable mob bosses Tim could've dragged home, he had to pick *that one*? Oliver is trying to be supportive of Tim and give Tim more agency than Bruce gave him, bc Oliver worked *hard* to steal this one and he's not going to lose all of the progress he made. and it does seem like Tim's doing *somewhat* of a decent job of making Jason less murdery. and Jason agrees to the rule he'll keep out of the Star City scene, but Gotham's still his fair game. and honestly, that makes Oliver like him just a *little bit* because if he's going to make Bruce's life more difficult, maybe Jason is alright.
it also does *not* help that when Oliver goes to Roy for support bc Roy agrees that Jason is untrustworthy as hell. but Roy is *also* the guy who had a daughter with Chesire, so the best he can do is give Oliver a shrug.
also think it's fun if Tim is sort of tense, expecting Oliver to put his foot down and tell Tim no. like he's not used to a vigilante parental figure who's actually good at the parent part, so it's weird having this level of freedom, esp when he knows Oliver does disapprove. but Oliver lets Tim figure out hs own love life and make his own mistakes, even if he's ranting to Dinah about Jason until two in the morning. it doesn't help that Jason makes no move to try to get along with Oliver. he's just a shit to be a shit. at this point Tim is pretty sure Jason enjoys driving Oliver up a wall more than he enjoys dating Tim. who's to say if it's true.
#necrotic answerings#jaytim#crack#this verges on ooc#but sometimes we deserve silly lil ooc things#and this is just so funny anon#oliver losing his mind bc why can't his kids be normal.#he says that in passing and tim bluescreens bc wdym he's considered one of oliver's kids.#he did not mean to stay longterm.#i think it's fun if bc of issues with bruce tim stays with the arrows “just for a bit” partly to help with a case#and partly bc oliver offers the space for tim to clear his head#and oliver has the obvious ulterior motive of just stealing tim. and it works.#tim insists he's going to leave. he is a liar.#i really want a tim and mia friendship. i think they'd be fun.#and she'd rib him for dating jason. more lgihthearted than oliver but she gets her jabs in#i need to read more arrow comics to write stuff with them#i feel *bad* bc i know fans of other super families hate when batfamily fans invade the tags#so i feel i owe it to be as canon accurate as possible.#i do not view these characters as props for the bats i swear </3

Roevember Day 9: Trade
"Oh dear - is that a sword in the stump? Bad idea. Really bad idea... you wouldn't--" "Don't look at me. I'm investigating - same as you, I presume. I've seen you two about Gridania...never been able to deduce what shady dealings you're up to, though." "You misunderstand, madame. We're simply scholars researching the movements of aether in the Twelveswood." "You, however - I'd put money on you being in the adventuring trade!" "Adventuring? Hardly. I'm from the Conjurers' Guild. I try not to dabble in the sorts of trades that get you killed."
#ffxiv#final fantasy xiv#ffxiv screenshots#ffxiv gpose#femroe#roevemberxiv2024#roevemberxiv#how it all started!!#she scoffs it off initially. she'll get to the point of it meaning everything to her later.#i'm so annoyed though - i could swear you could get rid of the duty marker glow using the normal gpose tools but apparently not#i probably could've replicated the sword with invisible actors and props and such but. this week has left me very tired.

#hi! im alive and back and etc.#six the musical#six the musical fanart#katherine howard#thinking of that post going 'i think eventually you become the person you needed most' and like maybe that's the thing with my art#this started out as a redraw and <improvement meme> i think i've finally reached the stage where i'm making the things that my younger self#aspired to create. like i can do this now! i've reached That level of technical skill! tiny me would be so proud. it's very gratifying#redraw from august this year actually. i've made a surprising amount of improvement HAHA maybe it was the adamandi stuff getting me#back into digital rendering. i think that obsession has quietly slipped away but yknow. one never truly leaves a fandom. just less intensit#also speaking of old fandoms! we're back with the six stuff haha. as of writing i'm in the midst of blog revamp- figuring out how to chill#multifandom status doesn't mean ditch all the old stuff ! but i do feel much freer and less stressed. i think hiatus has been good for me#notes on this piece particularly: redraw about cutting hair and thinking of the lyric above. also lowkey &j ref + pinterest poem excerpts#of female suffering. and maybe a dash of amanda heng let's walk inspo. this work is really just full of contradictions..#1. the mirror and cutting hair as an act of self liberation 2. the & is part of the lyric but also a nod to &j (in another iteration it was#pink but the white looked better) and like. &j is really all !!! girl power!!! etc. and i was like hmmmm. also matching pink shiny aes#3. the frame as a cage; the mirror as a self reflection idea (ie. saville's propped insp) but also as a sign of vanity. 4. sparkly costume#and pretty pose- read one too many poems about women feeling like they have to be pretty even in their suffering. something i wanted to#explore. and also in 5. the show itself... all you wanna do is. despite all the dancing and pink and sparkly the content of the song is#darker. and even though it's a story of her suffering it's still presented as a shiny fun pop song and ajshdhfhfh ok... 6. the lyrics fall#outside the frame. sort of a caught inbetween. sort of a trapped in the narrative and yet#within the frame it's all. vaguely handwavy breaking free vibes. like i said contradictions?#7. cutting off the long ponytail vs the pull my hair lyric at the end. yeah#8. the blocked off & looks a bit like scissors. positioned to cut right at the neck#anyways yeah irl remains hectic! but if i get around to more doodles they'll appear here :)

Arya and Dany stans: *discuss the likelihood that they'll have a positive relationship given their parallels, foreshadowing, status as key characters, and being two of George's favorite characters*
Stansas: Is this Sansa shade?
I think it's hilarious that Stansas got mad at me for (accurately) pointing out that they accuse Arya and Dany stans of being motivated by Sansa hate simply because...we get along and like both of them lol. The idea of them getting along is about their characters and has nothing to do with Sansa. Just because they pit Dany and Arya against each other for Sansa's sake doesn't mean we're motivated by the same thing. Are there some conversations that bring up Sansa + Arya's strained relationship? Absolutely, that isn't baseless in the books considering they're written as foils and George has already said they have issues they need to work out. The "Stark sisters 4ever" fantasy they have is just that, and it's funny we never see this same energy for Arya being turned into a prop for her sister 🤔. Sisterhood didn't stop Sansa from siding with Joffrey, telling Cersei that Arya was a traitor (even though she had no idea where Arya was), or calling Arya unsatisfactory when she thought that she was dead so why are we supposed to pretend it's an all-important factor when discussing Arya's potential relationships with other characters?
#arya stark#daenerys targeryan#anti sansa stans#fandom forever talking about how the sisters writing is misogynistic but when we acknowledge that conflict it's an issue#yes Arya loves her sister but that doesn't mean all of their issues are going to magically disappear when they reunite and this is somethin#we were explicitly told by the author! guess we're supposed to just ignore what he said cause it doesn't fit fanon though#this idea that we're constantly thinking about Sansa and forming our opinions to spite her is so insane I can't#we can't even like two female characters without it being turned into a conspiracy theory 😭#the real issue is that they can't stand that we talk about Arya as her own character and not just a prop for Sansa#cause where's this energy for the Stansas and /supposed/ Arya stans who come together to hate on Dany??#or for the ones who erase Arya's entire story and mold her into a prop whose only purpose is to serve Sansa?

Based on (x).
#teen wolf#scott mccall#twedit#ok so yeah this edit was sparked by how poorly melissa was explored in s5#and in general how they dropped her as anything but an occasional prop to tell scott to get back out there after 2x10#but i hope it's not taken as bashing because that's truly not how i mean it#i feel like both scott and melissa don't know how to talk to each other#not because they don't love each other or want the best for each other#but s1 melissa already starts out not knowing scott's life very well#she's interested and trying to support him and make time for him#but is swamped with work and overwhelmed with being a single parent#and would also desperately like her own life if it's possible#scott is already working to support them and agonizes over costing them anything - money time attention#they start the series already without an equilibrium and it only gets worse as scott becomes a werewolf#i think melissa also has a survivor's mentality of soldiering on#and so that's also the advice scott is getting#even when what they both really need is time to rest and connect#and it just made me so sad that scott's flashback was about being hospitalized#but his mother was there and he was being care for#whereas now#he's back at the hospital#alone#desperately in need of care

Disclaimer that I might be wrong about this, only personal impressions etc., but I feel like there exists a tendency to often depict first age Galadriel as not only particularly distanced but also disdainful towards the rest of her kin, particularly regarding Alqualondë. Which is very interesting to me, if you consider that she's the one who gets a scene of direct and pointed questioning with Melian about the finer points of the exile and lies (even if by omission) to her face. Which occurs after she had already established a stable acquaintanceship with her.
Galadriel his sister went not with him to Nargothrond, for in Doriath dwelt Celeborn, kinsman of Thingol, and there was great love between them. Therefore she remained in the Hidden Kingdom, and abode with Melian, and of her learned great lore and wisdom concerning Middle-earth. -Chapter 13: OF THE RETURN OF THE NOLDOR
She furthermore also seems committed to letting bygones be bygones:
And on a time Melian said: ‘There is some woe that lies upon you and your kin. That I can see in you, but all else is hidden from me; for by no vision or thought can I perceive anything that passed or passes in the West: a shadow lies over all the land of Aman, and reaches far out over the sea. Why will you not tell me more?’ ‘For that woe is past,’ said Galadriel; ‘and I would take what joy is here left, untroubled by memory. And maybe there is woe enough yet to come, though still hope may seem bright.’ -Chapter 15: OF THE NOLDOR IN BELERIAND
Which is not to say that she couldn't have born a grudge about Alqualondë, but rather that she prioritized unity among the Noldor and Sindar over acting on said grudge and made the deliberate choice to try and move on, even at the cost of her personal integrity (since she presumable started her tutelage while the first kinslaying was still kept a secret which is...audacious to say the least).
#silm#galadriel#I'll always give both her and Finrod props for not selling out the rest of the family#much as i might otherwise not particularly care for them#they're no snitches!#i genuinely do not mean to frame every one of my posts as basically 'here's why I disagree with popular fanon'#and I genuinely mean no disrespect to people who enjoy it!#but it IS what often prompts me to consider 'how come I don't vibe with this?'#which is not to say that I do not understand how alternate interpretations and views form and become popular#Galadriels entire first age narrative is basically remaining shunted off in Doriath afterall#or that I consider my views as the one true canon..

i don’t actually mind iterations of AB where she’s ‘mean’ (…again, whatever the fuck that means in the 16c); but i really do reject portrayals where she’s completely devoid of warmth. unfortunately for me, one of them has remained #1 prestige ‘blueprint’ tudor drama since 2012 😭
#I actually realized this too…#that it’s the source material#you can point to (few and far between ; but they do exist) moments of warmth in wolf hall and tobg#but ONLY in the screen adaptations#the source material of the books literally don’t have any#it’s the adapter tweaking so that the audience doesn’t *totally* hate her bcus that’s not really#constructive for the purposes of the narrative / storytelling ….#for them to be 100% alienated from her as a character and personality#so they tweak it to what. 98% . lol#primarily with her moments of tenderness with Elizabeth#and I mean I’ll take what I can get insofar as I think that very tiny aspect is an integral part of her#so infinitesimal props#but they don’t allow it in any other aspect#so the implication is that motherhood ‘humanized’ her and she was otherwise#not quite human. which. I shouldn’t have to say#has fairly gross implications about how these creators see women overall…

“When I be complaining about food prices, and y’all muthafuckas be like, ‘Ain’t you rich? Why you complaining about lettuce? Why you complaining about this?’ that goes to show me when you become successful, when you have money, you’re gonna go broke soon,” she said. “Because y’all not budgeting. I get a summary of the money that’s being spent in my home every week. So, when I’m starting to see that groceries is tripling up, it’s like, ‘Ay yo, what the fuck is going on?'”
According to Cardi, when she went to the supermarket to find out where her money was going, she saw the “tripled up” grocery prices for herself. “Lettuce was like $2 a couple of months ago, now it’s like fucking [$]7. Of course, I’ma say something,” she said. “‘Cause if I think that shit is crazy, I can only imagine what middle class people or people in the hood is motherfucking thinking. So, yes, I’m going to say something. The fuck! And I have a big platform, so I do want anybody that’s responsible [for] these fucking prices to put that shit the fuck down.”
#it's so#bizarre#genuinely unreal#to hear a famous person talk about groceries#besides jhene aiko i mean#props to her for caring honestly#cardi b

More mermaid things! I mentioned in the merfolk overview post that mermaids can use magic to become two-legged, other humans can do the same but in reverse! The spell isn't the exact same sort that created merfolk so long ago, but it does the job quite handily. Normal two-legged humans tend to gain an aquatic mammal lower body if they don't have other kinds of merfolk in their family.
In my previous art post I introduced Sirpa, who is a zander-harvour porpoise hybrid, a rare feature in half-animal people overall. Above we have Sirpa's parents, and then the mishmash of features that Sirpa inherited from them. Plus Sirpa's daughter who inherited one (1) teeny tiny fin!
#sirpa's parents' names are annika and kari lavaste (lavaste means a prop or a scenery flat.. because. the parents arent main characters)#sirpa's daughter's name meanwhile is liisa :) sirpa changed her surname so her and her daughter's surname is kartanen#dont tell me i didnt slay that zander tail!!#merfolk#mermaid#merfolk lore#zander#harbor porpoise#harbour porpoise#porpoise#art#my art#zander mermaid#porpoise mermaid#sirpaverse

Scratch is Lillith Evidence
I've kind of accepted this as canon but I havent really seen anyone compile all the evidences so uh here for anyone curious
Kayne first references her in Part 20 which does reveal that Lillith exists in Malevolent:
In part 37, when John, Arthur and Oscar are exploring the barn, John sees a painting of a woman with pale skin and dark hair and seems to go into a kind of trance when he looks at her (which. Gestures. Lillith. Gestures. Succubus-y powers. Gestures)
Later when they open the gateway in Part 38, Scratch merges with a woman who looks exactly like the one in the painting and she's described as having "alabaster skin", aka world's most highly specific descriptor, which also happens to the same description used in the Lillith entry in the Malleus Monstorum for CoC seventh edition (BIG THANKS TO @/unsafewaters for sending the images to me)
And then in Intermezzo, Kayne directly mentions having a daughter and claims that she would "love" Arthur which could tie back to him being Her Favourite. Also I don't like using evidence that isn't in the source material but in the post season 4 QnA, when Harlan's reading out the notes he wrote for Intermezzo, one of the things he reads out is the daughter line, which implies it was important enough to mention (and wasn't just a throwaway joke)
And last but not least, Yorick mentions that Scratch/Owlexander/the entity watching them is close in power to Kayne which would make sense if he created her
Also earlier in the episode, Yorick implied Scratch may be working against Kayne specifically which does imply they have a pre existing relationship which would make sense if she was Lillith:
Extra evidence: In the fake Edward Willaim Allan's journal, he has an entry where talks about how, despite the fact he distrusts his "dream dweller" (who we know is Scratch pre fracturing), something about them still fills him with awe and he feels oddly seduces by them:
Which is likely Lillith using her powers to influence him and make him easier to manipulate (since it's heavily implied, if not basically explicitly stated, she was using him to open a gateway for her to enter the world)
Also! Semi unrelated but while I have your attention and talking about theories! I just wanna highlight a minor theory of mine that there's a high chance Kayne trapped Lillith in some kind of pocket dimension or prison of sorts because the prison line (from the second to last screenshot in this post) feels like foreshadowing and I find it odd that if she supposedly is close to him in power, she would need a humans help to travel through worlds (Also, she's framed as getting "freed" in part 38 when they do eventually open the gateway which leads to the question: free from what?) so that's something to consider
#TELL ME IF I MISSED ANYTHING GEN. I WILL ADD IT#lillith malevolent#lilith malevolent#malevolent#malevolent podcast#scratch malevolent#spoilers#????#BTW PROPS TO ME FOR SUCCESSFULLY HOLDING BACK THE URGE TO DERAIL THE WHOLE POST TO MAKE IY ABOUT PIPE DREAM 😭#<- every time i remember fake Edward Willaim Allan ks like. a real malevolent character (who canonically is implied to have been sedcued by#lillith) and not my little self indulgent guy who i made up and added to malevolent lore. i feel insane#<- I MEAN?
