Please stop telling people, for any reason, to kill themself. Stop advocating for suicide in any form or capacity.

Hey Adam, are you aware or how awful men are now? Like the really misogynistic and abusive ones and they all say this is how God intended and use you as an example?

WARNING! MENTION OF RAPE

“I mean, sometimes people gotta stick up for themselves. And sometimes the victim ends up looking the attacker. Still, just because a rapist was also raped, doesn’t validate their decision to make others’ lives worse.”

“People can have opinions, and people can have opinions on others’ opinions. It isn’t my fucking business unless I decide to intervene.”

“The Big G could’ve decided to remove free will, but He didn’t. So what someone does or thinks isn’t my or His fucking fault.”

“Blame me all the fuck you want, I’m livin’ my best life.”

“But what about all those other men who sacrifice their lives for others, just like women do.”

“Women can be whatever the fuck the equivalent of misogynist is for men. Like shaming men for wanting to do a female-dominated job/hobby.”

“Mistakes aren’t limited to one gender.”

“Everyone has opinions. And if you want to try to fuck up their perception, whether it’s morally right to you or not, that’s your choice. And the outcome of doing so is also your doing.”

“Now, can I get another plate of ribs?”

My Issue with Redemption Arcs

I think my most unpopular popculture opinion ever is: Zuko's redemption arc... does not really work for me. Though it is not that much a thing about Zuko's redemption arc and rather about how white western media tends to portray redemption arcs.

Usually it goes something like that: There is this villain character, who usually from the very beginning is carrying this huge "gotta get redeemed later" sign with themselves, who at some point in the story goes "wait, am I the bad guy?!" They will then go ahead and join the ragtag band of protagonists, who might be kinda mistrustful for obvious reasons, but will probably come along within half a seasons worth of episodes (or up to 10 book chapters) and quickly forgive him. There might be some episodes/chapters to establish the reformed villain's role within the group then. If the now reformed villain has done ill by a large group of people (because they are a war criminal or something) there might also be an episode/chapter where they go ahead and save a village or something, willing to sacrifice themselves. Which instantly will make everyone everywhere totally forgive them and they end up being celebrated a hero by all.

Thanks. I hate it.

But now let me talk about why I hate it so much.

It is not even a complicated reason. It is simply: This kind of story tends to put narrative pressure onto the victims to forgive the villain, who might have suffered all kinds of both physical and mental pain through what the villain have done.

Depending on the kind of story they might have suffered abuse, might have lost family members or friends, might have been a supressed class or even a slave because of the villain.

And then the story will go: "But, hey, the villain is now really sorry and you tots should forgive them because they didn't mean it! Don't you see, they have this big dramatic, sympathetic backstory that totally explains why they have turned out that way."

And I am sorry, but... It just does not work like that.

My issue is not the villain redeeming themselves. That is fine. But it is specifically the relation to the victim and the expectation that the victim(s) need to be fine with it then that irks me so much. And how easily they are forgiven.

And yes, the reason why this irks me so much is, that in real life we often also expect victims to behave like that. "Oh, your parents abused you? Well, they said they are sorry and are willing to make up for it. So you should accept that!" - "Oh, that bully from highschool? See, they went to a super rough patch with their family at the time and now they feel sorry. Will you not go and meet with them so they can apologize?" - "Oh, that expartner who raped you? Yeah, they went to therapy and are now totally reformed. They feel really sorry. Forgive them."

And it also obviously goes for group-based violence. "Oh, that politician, who campaigned on taking your human rights from you and had your brother thrown into prison? Yeah, they totally are seeing now that they were in the wrong and are willing to make up for it! Give them a chance!"

And that's just not... how any of this works.

I am perfectly fine with people switching sides and joining the good side... But I am just not fine with people being forgiven by everyone everywhere by just... doing this one thing or gesture for them, making everyone instantly go "I guess it is fine now".

If you follow me for any amount of time you know that my favorite series currently is Castlevania - and if you have followed me a bit longer you also know my favorite movie of all time is Mad Max Fury Road. And I think both have a much better approach to redemption arcs.

Isaac's story in Castlevania very much is a redemption arc. But during this redemption arc NOBODY has to forgive Isaac. Well, that is nobody but himself. There is no survivors from the genocide that he has to save to proof himself and who then are forced by the narrative to say: "Yeah, actually he is a good guy." His entire arc is about he himself figuring out why he did wrong and how he could do better.

Same with Mad Max Fury Road and Furiosa. The story is not shy about telling you that it is a redemption story. Though the things the characters need redemption for are not even defined in detail. It is just said: "Yeah, they are looking for redemption." It is very much about Furiosa and Max learning that they can do right by some people, even if they have done wrong by others. We do not even know (well, in Max's case we do through additional material), who they have failed/done wrong by. Those do not factor into the story. The story is about them learning to do right.

Nobody owes anyone forgiveness. And I hate it, when media frames it as if they do.

TW - VIOLENCE, BLOOD, TORTURE, MENTION OF RAPE, MENTION OF EXECUTION

Damien's a complete and total asshole k?

When Lucifer had ruled Hell, his sons had been granted great power in the realm.  When he'd been overthrown, some had tried to grab the throne, and now were in Caligo for their troubles.  Damien had played by the rules, even if that meant bending them occasionally.   He was not willing to give up his power, but after seeing exactly how much of their own his niece and nephew wielded, he knew that he would not be able to overthrow either of them.  That did not mean, however, that he did not rule those within his castle with an iron fist that came down swift and harsh on any who crossed him.

Down in the bowels of the castle, Asher had been hung by his wrists from manacles attached to the ceiling of a cell that had wrought iron walls, ceiling and floor.  His feet were also manacled with a chain that ran through a loop on the floor that they barely touched.  All the way down to the dungeon, Asher had fought the guards to try and get free so he could get back to Kaylin.  He had known that there were too many of them for him to defeat them all, but he had to try.  Too many times he’d seen Lord Damien’s cruelty against those who displeased him, and Asher feared for what Kaylin was being subjected to now that they were alone in her room together. 

When Damien made his way down to where Asher was detained, the black blood on his shirt was indication enough to Asher that he’d hurt Kaylin. How badly didn't matter, the Prince had laid hands on her in violence and the dragon within him yearned to strike out in a violent and vicious vengeance. Straining against his restraints that bit into his wrists and ankles, he tried to lunge at the Royal Prince.  Curses flowed from his mouth like water as he promised pain and death to Damien, who in turn just darkly laughed in return.  He knew the iron kept Asher from shifting or using any other kind of magic.  It was why that cell was used. Containment. 

“You can threaten till your voice runs out, but you can’t do a thing, dragon.  You're as helpless as the day you hatched, the day I really should have killed you; before you could ruin my daughter.  You’ll only get out of those chains when I take off your head in the morning.”  Damien grinned malevolently as he circled Asher, taunting him.  “Maybe I’ll let you live long enough to hear her scream as my entire legion,” he leaned in close to Asher’s back to whisper in his ear, “fucks your memory out of her.”

The roar that came from Asher could be heard through most of the castle and got the attention of all the guards who were in the lower two levels of the dungeon area. All were supremely glad the dragon could not escape his bonds.  If freed, there was no doubt not a demon nor a stone would be left unscorched by his fire. While there were none that would question Damien’s orders, they also knew that crossing Asher often lead to death, and a painful one at that.

“I will kill you before I let you or your men touch her again!” The manacles cut into his skin, causing his yellow blood to start to slowly drip down his tanned skin that was stretched taut over his straining muscular forearms.  He didn’t know how quite yet, but he would figure out a way to get free and he would get his revenge on Damien for this.  Oaths were silently made to deities that he wasn’t sure existed, but he did believe in.

The laugh that came from Damien next was pure evil. "You can't shift, you can't even change positions.  You'll do nothing but endure my wrath.  The pain you feel will be the cost of ever thinking you were worthy of my daughter.  Her punishment will be much more drawn out.  Remember that as you receive your own…" Reaching to the table behind him, Damien took hold of the cat of nine tails that had imp claws at the end of each of the warg leather lashings.  Sharp as razor blades, there was no doubt the damage that would be inflicted. His grin was malevolent as he slowly turned the leather wrapped handle in his handle, already anticipating the joy of making Asher suffer. There was a warmth of satisfaction that spread through his breast.

For the first few lashings he received, Asher did not give Damien the satisfaction of hearing him scream.  His jaw clenched, his eyes closed, and though the skin on his back was flayed open, he did nothing more than grunt at the white hot pain that each strike brought with it.  Behind his eyelids, he was focusing on Kaylin’s face and the firm belief he would find a way to get free and save her.  Even with golden blood forming building rivers that were starting to flow down the backs of his legs, he refused to admit defeat.   

Every hard strike that Damien delivered had him jerking against the chains, soft puffs of dust coming from around the bolts that secured Asher’s chains to the floor and ceiling.  Even restrained, the dragon was strong and fighting hard against the bonds that held him.  But Damien had planned ahead; the wrought iron contained his magic and slowing his healing.  It was only a matter of time before Damien would break him, and there was plenty of that before dawn.  Pain was one thing that he loved to deliver and he was not particularly choosy about who it was delivered to.  Unlike his father, Damien had no love or compassion within him, only a drive for more power.

By alternating the direction of the strikes across Asher’s back, Damien was ensuring maximum damage.  After hours of flagellation, it was not just Asher’s back that was raw, his throat was as well.  His voice long since lost from screaming at the ever intensifying pain and the deepening realization he was powerless to protect the woman he loved.  He now prayed to any deity listening for death, but it seemed that no one was listening since Azrael didn't appear to claim his soul.  How he would have welcomed the angel he'd been avoiding all his life, if he'd only show up now.

When light started to filter through the small window in the cell, Damien decided it was time to retrieve his daughter for the execution of her lover.  He was no longer enjoying the torture of Asher since he had lost the ability to scream and his strength was failing so he just hung limply from his chains.  At least he would get some pleasure from his daughter watching him die, then what he planned for her after.

Like you, like me ~ 13 reasons why ( Oc x Oc )

Summary: After dealing with her rough and horrible past, Eleanour Baker finally lets her boyfriend Isaiah Patterson take her.

Warning: ⚠️ Sexual Content, First-time sex, kissing, Etc.⚠️

“ Are you sure about this?” Isaiah asked, hands on his girlfriend's hips. Elena nodded and looked at him in the eyes, she wanted this and it was time for her to take control of her life.

The male on top of her made her feel safe, there was some time when the feelings were too much, but other than that it was okay.

“ Yes, I want this Izzy. It should have been you” Elena commented, placing her hand on his biceps.

Isaiah shushed her. “ Hey, hey. Hush, he didn't take anything from you, you are safe and loved. I will make you feel good, I'm here, Elena. I mean it, just let me know how you feel and if I'm making you uncomfortable, just tell me to stop, okay?”.

Elena Baker was touched by his words, who knew that she would find an interesting person like Isaiah, who's to say that he is the one?

“ Ready?”.

She nodded.

“ Yes”.

Isaiah grabbed a condom wrapper from his nightstand and placed it around himself. He looked at the female he loved and smiled at her.

“ again are you sure? We don't have to if you are uncomfortable or not ready?”.

Elena shakes her head. “ Izzy come on, I want this. Please let me enjoy this”.

She adjusted herself on the bed and made herself comfortable, both of them stripped Naked of their clothes and stared at each other.

Isaiah was amazed at her body, it was gorgeous and just.... Beautiful

Words cannot describe how he felt at the moment, and to think that all of this was his.

Elena spreads her leg and removed her panties and felt the cold air on her body and shivered.

Isaiah noticed this and thought the shiver was fear, he immediately went to pull away but she stopped him.

“ No, don't move. Stay I'm not scared, I was just cold, let's pull the cover over us and we can continue”.

“ Sounds like a plan” Isaiah replied.

He pulled the covers over them and placed himself at the entrance of her vagina.

Slowly and gently he enters Elena, she winced but relaxed immediately after.

It didn't hurt!

“ Did I hurt you?”.

Elena shakes her head and relaxed more, it actually felt nice.

Isaiah wasn't too big or too small, just the right size. “ No, actually can you go faster? It feels really good”.

Isaiah smiled, bit his lip, and nodded. “ Of course, whatever you desire”.

He did what she wanted, he moved faster carefully trying to not hurt her, a part of him wanted to move faster, but he knew if he did so, then she would be in pain or freak out.

Elena shivered as a gasp left her lips, she placed her hand on her boyfriend's biceps/shoulders. “ Hold on, let me-” she trailed off, lifting her legs and wrapping them around his waist / torso.

“ Now, you can continue ” she breathed looking into his beautiful ocean eyes.

Those words nearly made him melt, and he did. Isaiah continues to move, hitting Elena's G-spot over and over again.

Gasp, moans, and screams left her lips, while only he grunted.

They were glad no one was around, or otherwise, this situation would be messy.

As they reach their climax, Isaiah pulls out and took the condom off, and threw it in the trash.

Elena Baker was panting, she was amazed. This was how it supposed to felt?

Feel?

Tears pricked at her eyelid.

This experience was beautiful.

Noticing this Isaiah looked at her with worry, he lay down near her and pulled her close.

“ What's wrong?”.

“ Nothing, I.... Uh... This was beautiful, this was how my first time was supposed to be”.

Isaiah shushed her, he gently pressed his lips to hers and pulled back after a few seconds. “ He didn't take anything, and I'm glad I'm your first”.

Elena laughs and lays her head on his chest. “ Yeah, I know. I'm just glad it was you. Thank you for this”.

Isaiah kissed her cheek then the top of her head. “ no need to thank me, but you're welcome. Now let's get some rest before my mom gets home”.

“ Okay”.

And they continued on blissfully in paradise.

How do I write a rape scene from the POV of the rapist, who intensely regrets what he did while intoxicated, without making it seem like rape can be overlooked of the rapist feels bad about it?

The character in question absolutely would not have done it if he had been sober, but he wasn't sober, so he did something horrible. When he wakes up sober, he's horrified to remember what he did. Complicating matters is that there was a spell that prevents him from confessing to the victim, who was passed out from drinking an entire bottle of soju, while the rape happened.

It is also deliberately ambiguous as to how many rapists there were

Male victim btw, so no risk of pregnancy

You know what no I fo have something to add. I NEED every person on this app to listen, this is worse than dystopia 1984 shit this is the real world application of compelled speech, neocons love to argue that they're compelled to use pronouns, but this shit, unlike, adult funtime, or using the word "smush" to refer to sex is actually compelled speech and ill tell you why, because it hits you in your wallet. The guidelines of youtube and tiktok state you can't be monetized if you don't censor yourself, this leaks into day to day speech because you get so fucking used to not being allowed to say fuck online so you can make money. These topics require us to treat them like as serious and real things. But the infantilization and sanitization of terms to make you more ad friendly means they are compelling you nor to acknowledge these things in your content. I am literally so serious when I say if you mean to say self harm or suicide or sex or rape or death please use those words, do not sanitize your speech, if you need to be monetized start a patreon, or a Kofi, anything but letting an ad company tell you how to talk! Please for the love of God do not let anyone take your speech!

“you don’t like the proliferation of terms like Unalive outside of TikTok because you realize that you’re aging out of youth culture and it makes you uncomfortable!”

no I don’t like it because there’s something INCREDIBLY dystopian about being forced to soften terms for basic parts of the human experience like death and sex (and even more so terms for oppressed minorities- call me a “le-dollar sign-bian” and I will bite you) purely because advertisers and corporations demand it

Just thought to myself "can't women have a bad time in fiction without rape being involved" which really shows you how much you're in the fucking trenches if you are both a horror fan and women fan

[yeslikethewizard]

It is also important to note that other terf rhetoric I often see talks about how men (and even young boys) are inherently the abusers and can never be victims. Like, that shit where people decide men can't be sexually assaulted because they're men - that's terf rhetoric.

If you see things automatically demonizing men and making every single one out to be a monster be cautious as fuck man. It might seem extreme saying that above, but this stuff is slipped under the radar all the time.

I really do mean it, if you see people casually slipping in conversation that women are the only victims of the patriarchy or that women are the only real victims in society you watch that person like a hawk because they're almost always either consuming terf rhetoric and not realizing it or they ARE a terf.

These things don't often start out as extreme, it's the frog in a pot of water raising to a boil situation. Think critically when interacting with people online.

It is deeply, deeply beneficial to TERFs if the only characteristic of TERF ideology you will recognize as wrong, harmful, or problematic is "they hate trans women".

TERF ideology is an expansive network of extremely toxic ideas, and the more of them we accept and normalize, the easier it becomes for them to fly under the radar and recruit new TERFs. The closer they get to turning the tide against all trans people, trans women included.

Case in point: In 2014-2015, I fell headlong into radical feminism. I did not know it was called radical feminism at the time, but I also didn't know what was wrong with radical feminism in the first place. I didn't see a problem with it.

I was a year deep into this shit when people I had been following, listening to, and looking up to finally said they didn't think trans women were women. It was only then that I unfollowed those people, specifically; but I continued to follow other TERFs-who-didn't-say-they-were-TERFs. I continued ingesting and spreading their ideas- for years after.

If TERFs "only target trans women" and "only want trans women gone", if that's the one and only problem with their ideology and if that's the only way we'll define them, we will inevitably miss a vast majority of the quiet beliefs that support their much louder hatred of trans women.

As another example: the trans community stood relatively united when TERFs and conservatives targeted our right to use the correct restroom, citing the "dangers" of trans women sharing space with cis women. But when they began targeting Lost Little Girls and Confused Lesbians and trotting detransitioners out to raise a panic about trans men, virtually the only people speaking up about it were other transmascs. Now we see a rash of anti-trans healthcare bills being passed in the US, and they're hurting every single one of us.

When you refuse to call a TERF a TERF just because they didn't specifically say they hate trans women, when you refuse to think critically about a TERF belief just because it's not directly related to trans women, you are actively helping TERFs spread their influence and build credibility.

Okay yeah I love that people are like "I think the lady from Mouthwashing should kill her rapist" (I haven't played/seen Mouthwashing yet Cuz I've been busy catching up to a bunch of other things so bear with me on my interpretation of these fanarts) and people are making empowering fanarts about it, sure.

But let me tell you as a schizophrenic person and victim of rape having a VERY difficult time right now mentally, it didn't exactly make me feel very good seeing a post where TWICE in it there were fanart/fanedit pieces in big ass lettering saying "let's kill *OUR* rapists together".

I love the artist who did the fanart on the bottom of the post too, truly and greatly for sure as I followed them for special interest related reasons. I don't blame anyone for me having a bad reaction to that. However I do so wish there had been a trigger warning or it had been tagged properly somewhere so that my blacklist could've filtered it.

Because let me tell you, just because my ass is self aware that this is triggering for me especially from a place of delusion and paranoia, does not mean I can stop it from Doing The Thing ™. I fortunately right now am doing something that is somewhat grounding me so I'm not completely lost in it, which is how I'm able to make this post about it. I have like,, a semi cognition currently thankfully.

It's not the topic of rape itself that's doing it, mind you. It's the wording of it *including me* that's sending it.
