#I really despise this woman

A fucking Misty rant

Misty is my actual least favourite character in Yellowjackets. I actually cannot stand her. And I have my reasons why. Now I know all the girls in YJ are fucked up, they all have flaws and issues, but I just think Misty has more/the worst of them all. Now I wanna start on a positive note, she can be a little funny. I’ll give her that. She has made me chuckle, but that’s all. Also, she did seem to have some resourceful knowledge that aided the group. That helped I’m sure.

Now onto the bad. These are in no order, just the order i remember them in.

1. She’s a fucking murderer. And not just once, multiple times. Now I’m not counting the Wilderness deaths. Until season 3 sheds more light on how they hunt each other, I’m not counting that. Adult Misty held a woman captive in her basement, then killed her after setting her free. SHE FUCKING KILLED NAT. That is unforgivable. Sure it wasn’t on purpose, but I don’t fucking care. She still is the reason Nat is dead. Could even argue she killed Cristal. She sure as hell backed her onto that cliff edge. Threatened her even. Also could say she was the one who let Javi drown. She stopped Nat from trying to save him, she could have helped or called the other to help, but no, she let the wilderness take him. So she kinda contributed to his death. And I wouldn’t be at all surprised if she ends up being the one who kills Ben.

2. She has poisoned people on MULTIPLE occasions. Coach Ben, twice. The girls, once. And that woman who died was killed with a poisoned laced cigarette… like come on. ALSO NAT was KILLED by a lethal injection!

3. Elder abuse. She fucking stole meds and items from her work place. And also just seemed like a nuisance at work. And didn’t she also turn off the life support of one of her patients, just for a laugh???? No sane person does that.

4. Ok, so her smashing the Black Box wasn’t actually a bad thing because blah blah the box is not actually working even if left unchecked blah blah. No, what I have an issue with is WHY she smashed it. It was purely selfish reasons. She knew that black box could be the key to them getting rescued earlier, and she smashed it so she could keep being useful and wanted by the girls. She KNEW what she was doing, and KNEW it could be a bad idea, SHE KNEW THAT BOX WAS IMPORTANT but she still fucking smashed it so she could be “liked” by the girls around her. A fucking selfish reason to smash what could have helped them get rescued. I also will never forgive her for that.

And overall, I just absolutely hate her aura. Her obsessions with the people around her, it’s creepy and not ok. Her obsession with Ben was downright gross, and sure his behaviour towards it was bad too. But still, Misty shouldn’t have been that way towards him. Misty is just an awful person who deserves to be locked up and sent away from the girls. I don’t wish her dead, just away from the other YJ girls. She is unhinged and not in a fun way I can get behind. I just can’t deal with her. Nothing could ever make me like Misty.

The end

The thing about HotD is that it while it absolutely minimizes the agency and ambition of both Rhaenyra and Alicent, this is specifically used to glorify Rhaenyra and frame her as righteous while condemning Alicent and framing her lacking. That's the key difference in both their textual portrayals that has directly led to 90% of the fandom hailing Rhaenyra as the second coming of Christ while spewing the most hateful vitriol at Alicent just for existing. But y'all are not prepared for that conversation.

I thought the early 2000s "strong yet naked/mostly naked woman kept in her place by stronger, bigger, beast/monster or gang of racist caricatures" trope* was known by basically everyone but I mentioned it as a criticism of this older art book I'd flipped through recently to a friend and it turns out it isn't lol Maybe I've just read too many Heavy Metal issues... It used to be HORRIBLY inescapable in any sort of mature art scene back in the day lmao

*This trope is different from the pre-2000s one because the women usually look like they COULD fight back for at least a little bit whereas the previous trope had them be completely helpless damsels in distress

The thing I love about Great Comet is that Pierre doesn't fall for Natasha until the very end of the play when he has his whole breakdown about wanting her to see the beauty in herself despite everyone tearing her down, so like...

You get to the song "Letters" and he's writing to Andrey about how beautiful his fiancée is and how he wishes he could also find happiness in his own marriage to Hélène, and I just sip my imaginary tea conspiratorially every time.

"Mm yes, how interesting... Tell me more about how your marriage is falling apart and you feel terrible, but can't bring yourself to hate your wife for cheating because how you hate yourself and don't know how anyone could ever see past your addictions... Andrey, you'd be so happy with how your fiancée is thriving, btw."

Not to come on here and talk about a 10 year old book series but I do think the only reason the captive prince trilogy is labeled romance as oppose to just fantasy is because it’s written by a gender queer person. The series is about Damon and Laurent’s relationship and that is the focus of the books but it’s not really necessarily romantic until the second one and even then that’s at the end of the second book. Like there’s so much more about their relationship and the series itself than just their sexual attraction to each other. I wouldn’t consider it romance at all simply a fantasy series.

the worse ''critique'' someone ever gave me was a relative of my best friend who said I 'only sexualize Pyke and i do that because hes black' as if completely ignoring the 100+ posts about Pyke in tumblr, the amount of drawings from 2018 to this day, the handmade pins totebags and stickers, the mental scenarios i make in my mind when i go to sleep, the self insert character i've made for each of his skins, the posters in my room of wich none are nsfw. Buddy if you wanna pull a valid critique tell me im a obsessive motherfucker with a fictional character who makes justice with own hands by harming and killing people in the process. Seriously. It'll look better.

I mean. I want him. Carnally. But after i've comforted him for the time enough needed.

party pooper. oh hey clarice, it's nice to hear from you! how are you? how's life? i'm doing really well, thanks for asking! crunch anything tasty lately? party pooper. drop the first t in texting, throw in an s actually. and he's still getting the hang of it but he can't get better without practice you know. what better time to do it when he's supposed to be paying attention? party pooper. — on a scale of one to five, how bad is it? one being distracted but functioning and five being cannot carry a conversation to save his life? i have to know, for record keeping purposes, and then yes — i might give him some breathing room. do you know how fun it is to drive a man a little insane with a picture or two? i bet you do, one way or the other. party pooper. whatcha talking about? anything fun?

[sms] handle with caution. gods, you even text the same. no wonder you two fuck like rabbits, it must be like screwing a mirror for him. not to impugn your good looks by comparison, darling — and of course, i'm delighted that you're well. how goes your training in ... whatever it is he claims to be teaching you? CS.

[sms] handle with caution. yes, yes, i'm well aware of the context. and the contents. and his password, much to his dismay. artfully posed, by the way; what i wouldn't give to have your body. CS.

[sms] handle with caution. oh please, child. it's the easiest game in the world. with men, you'll reach the madhouse long before you could ever hope to reach the truth, every time. and no, i cannot think of anything i would rather do less than rate the depths of john constantine's lust, thank you ever so much for asking. CS.

[sms] handle with caution. business of course, what else? although that particular discussion seems to have effectively stalled, at present, thank you again. as much delightful nostalgia and secondhand embarrassment as i'm finding in the ... sordid details of your extracurricular activities, need i point out, to you of all people, that it would be far more professional to get it on on your own time? rather than, for example, mine? CS.

[sms] handle with caution. [IMG ATTACHMENT] besides, your man here is already averaging a 3.5 over little more than a tasteful glimpse of cleavage and a quarter-body shot — i'm sure you can do better than that. than him, for that matter. CS.

[sms] handle with caution. i know, i know, dreadful of me. and i did say i wouldn't pry. the heart wants what it wants, i suppose, regardless of such ... trivial hurdles as simple rational thought. i can relate to that, at least, but i do wish you'd let me set you up with at least one of the more ... lucrative matches on hand. after all, even if it didn't pan out, it couldn't hurt to keep up at least an appearance of availability, in your position, hm? CS.

this lady's maid is throwing herself at Mr Russell quite flagrantly

he seems to adore his social-climbing wife so much, she looks a fool

[daddiesdrarryy]

hey umm, can't help but notice you care a lot for hp

i say this is the most kind way possible (i am EXTREMELY sorry if it doesn't come off that way), but do you care for the things jk rowling has said and done? they are a nasty person, but im really hoping you know about that

I do know what she did/still does, and Rowling is trash to me, she’s literally a horrible human being who she is, but I learned to separate the creator from the creation. I really thought it’s just common knowledge that all hp lovers hate jkr now.

9:09 AM and I am contemplating murder

[dc-comics-enjoyer]

In a context where Batman is known and seen through his public League appearances, the misogynistic, homophobic, "alpha male" guys start using his image to illustrate their discourse of going to the gym, and seeking submissive women. They admire and misinterpret his traits as endorsements of their toxic masculinity. Online, they share images of Batman with stuff like "Be the Alpha, Be the Batman". They even use the word Batmen as a synonym to Alpha Male. "Real Batmen don't show weakness".

When Bruce becomes aware of this, he hates it. He despises them for all their messed up views, knowing they completely misunderstand his principles. Batman's true strength lies in his commitment to justice, empathy, and respect for all individuals, values that are fundamentally opposed to the toxic masculinity they promote. Bruce is determined to distance his image from their rhetoric, seeing them as nothing more than sexist and homophobic idiots.

So he decides to be a tiny tiny bit more Brucie when they appear in public. Not in form, but in substance :

When he's asked a question, he tries to go "I have no clue, I'd have to ask Black Canary.", or "I'm not sure, I'd have to see what Wonder Woman thinks about that", or "This time, we really couldn't have done anything, anything at all, without Supergirl."

Also, Batman becomes more visibly affectionate with Superman. During public appearances, if he senses a camera on them, he makes sure to be seen clinging to Superman. He would rather face dating rumors every day than be associated with those idiotic discourses.

(It's also a good premise for a superbat fake-dating fic !!)
