#Rejecting Hatred

"We are no longer on the eve of battle. Even so, I come to ask myself the same question that young soldier asked the general all those years ago: "How do I defeat fear?" The general's answer: "The only way to defeat fear is to tell it 'No'." No - we will not take shortcuts on the path to righteousness. No - we will not break the rules that protect us from our basest instincts. No - we will not allow desperation to destroy moral authority.
I am guilty of all these things. Some say that in life, there are no second chances. Experience tells me that this is true. But we can only look forward. We have to be torchbearers, casting the light so we may see our path to lasting peace. We will continue exploring, discovering new worlds, new civilizations. Yes - that is the United Federation of Planets… Yes - that is Starfleet… Yes, that is who we are… And who we will always be."
#rejecting the darkness#standing on principles#the only way to defeat fear is to tell it no#Star Trek Discovery#Boldly Go#Will You Take My Hand?#We will not cease from exploration#Rejecting Fear#Rejecting Cruelty#Rejecting Hatred#Rejecting the fear#Michael Burnham#United Federation of Planets#Starfleet Directives#Rejecting Desperation#Finding a new way forward

#i am never not thinking about them the father/mother/daughter trope the cycle of trauma the hatred that stems from watching your child#be a mirror of your worst qualities put together but more rebellious more naive. you want to protect her but she thinks she knows better &#can take care of herself. if you love me you love me in ways i don't understand!! jesus can always reject his father but he cannot escape#his mother's blood. [i'm a child but i'm not above violence] he'll scream and try to wash it off his fingers but he'll never escape what#he's made up of!!!!#they make me sick claudia you would've loved preacher's daughter by ethel cain so much#interview with the vampire#iwtv#claudia#lestat de lioncourt#iwtv claudia#iwtv lestat#claudia de lioncourt#iwtv amc

Arcana is so trans to me but not the mtf trans but like eldritch horror being realized that she likes to be perceived as a mortal woman
nonnie we are holding hands, we share the same vision, the same dream, the same eldritch transgenderism <3
there was a tweet recently (I think it was a tweet?) about a very specific type of character design--non sexualized, nude humanoids presented as otherwordly and entirely alien, off kilter, merging monstruous characteristics and that's exactly what I love and think about when it comes to the thing Arcana summons, the Guiding One's Creation
Arcana is so transgender to me in a very specific way of using the feminine figure as a way of both luring and keeping everyone at bay <33333
#not a prompt#reverse 1999#something something the use of the feminine figure in religon as both a holy AND unholy thing#the biggest contradiction ever. upholding the female body as a pure virginal and holy temple but also as a sinful cavern of temptation#the feelings of hatred and love. to reject and reclaim womanhood#something abouttttt. how do i put this into words#arcana choosing a female body as a way to represent both of these sides. or to profit from the preconceived notions that come with it#something to be hated something to be celebrated. also found in her identity as an arcanist#(the way she fights for arcanists rights while at the same time fighting any arcanist that doesnt fit her specific ideals)#shes eldritch transgender to me youre so right anon youre so so so right#constantine is playing 9D chess but arcana is playing dwarf fortress and i love thinking about how it permeates into smth like her identity

I'm still not over this
Ed was like: see Izzy? I'm the worst human being, no, a monster! A devil! No wonder no one loves me!
Izzy, without 3 toes at this point: I love you.
I'm not surprised Ed didn't take it in well
#Like#Would you?#Izzy's love proved he could be loved#and that means he just wasn’t loved by Stede#Izzy's love meant Izzy loved him fully with parts that Ed hated in himself and wanted to get rid of#Izzy's love just wanted Ed no matter in what form#Izzy just wanted Ed to be happy no matter what happens to him#and Ed saw that and hated himself even more#The more Izzy loved him the more Ed hated himself for what he's done and who he is#He wanted to be good but the one person that made him feel like it rejected him#He wants to be someone else but Izzy says he loves him as he is now and always#Izzy’s love letting Ed become worse and worse because he won't stop him#I just say I get it how it feels being deep into self hatred and trying to accept kind words#I'd also say “oh come on”#Edizzy#Izzy hands#Ofmd s2#Our flag means death#Edward teach

Reverse is like when a (historical-ish or not) fantasy setting kind of implies itself to have a homophobic or misogynist societal outlook where like you get characters talking About being isolated or unaccepted for their romantic/sexual interests or how they're meant to be more than a housewife or etc, but you never really see much societal enforcement of these norms whatsoever beyond the broadest strokes of 'marriage is between men and women and women are supposed to be housewives, probably?'. Like it's just a vast open space for readers to project homophobia and misogyny on, but lacking in any real exploration or engagement.
Like I'm not saying like 'put in a gaybashing' and it doesn't have to be (and probably Shouldn't be) 24/7 pain and suffering and anguish, but if you want arcs about characters struggling with their sexuality or marginalized gender roles there should probably be more than just a loose implication of something they have to struggle Against.
#Less common in broader historical fiction/fantasy more common in LGBT+ oriented indie projects#Recently steamrolled through a webcomic that I liked a good deal but has this Badddd and I am nothing if not a nitpicker#Like wholly revolves around the main character profoundly rejecting women's gender norms and a side gay arc but everyone#who is aware of this is just like. Immediately pretty much down with it as if it IS normalized.#I also think people hesitate to have Good or at least caring characters reflect their societal norms and it's like... homophobia#and misogyny is not always Pure malice and hatred. When it's a cultural norm it's something that will be internalized to some extent#by all members of society including very kind and loving people. There's going to be struggling to understand loved ones or like#being homophobic/misogynist towards them in ways the person understands as for their loved one's own good and etc.#That doesn't make it A Good Thing but like a lot of bigotry is more subtle rather than being outright malice and cruelty

thinking about how, before she met gloreth, nimona spent who knows how long wandering the world and trying to find company amongst animals, but always being rejected. we have no idea how long she was at it- she appears to be immortal, she could've been trying to find companionship since the beginning of time for all we know.
#nimona#and man.#she finds a friend in gloreth but then she's rejected and seen as a monster!#we don't know exactly what she does for the next 1000 years#but imagine her watching the institute rise#seeing her former friend creating an entire order of knights to kill her and anyone similar#seeing how the walls come up and how the city is tightly controlled#knowing all this cruelty and hatred came from her just trying to find friendship#AAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I never used to really think about it, and I don’t necessarily hate it with every fibre of my being, but Lupin x Tonks was just so unnecessary. Like, it’s JKR, so obviously Tonks has to fill her ovary-obeying agenda instead of letting the Flonks ship sail proudly, loudly, and without capsizing, but surely there were other means – like, you know – Charlie or something? At least then we wouldn’t have the peculiar age gap, and even if it’s still legal, the way they were paired was still rather coercive* (at least in the books).
#if you ship it that’s fine I guess(?) (idk) but Tonks deserved better. moonstar is better. let everyone be gay#harry potter#harry potter and the order of the phoenix#nymphadora tonks#remus lupin#I’m not tagging the ship bc it’s semi-slander? like I hold no animosity towards it but it’s a bit weird#* if no one knows what i mean by this i mean when everyone crowded around him when he was in bed and made him date her after she had her#depressive episode over being rejected. he didn’t want a relationship bc of his condition. self hatred and so on. *emo hair flip*#charlie weasley#fleur delacour#they were mentioned

the way you carry yourself
(alt ver below. smile)
#trigun#trimax#vash the stampede#nicholas d. wolfwood#gooarts#(pointing) do you think that strange blonde man is uncomfortable in his own skin.#do you think he wishes to discard it or to bury himself deeper within.can a beast love its shell#can a caterpillar love its cocoon. the rejection of change as a form of self hatred ok im done#(pointing again) that disheveled 40 something man looks awfully bogged down by all of the things he internalizes#do you think he regrets wanting to live. do yo think he regrets living for others#body horror#blood#trigun spoilers#if you saw this last night um. no you didnt <3 i made a complimentary woflowd. hehe#im really enjoying working in this style it makes me feel like im a machine girl music video#“oh the comp looks a little plain you should add htthe punisher” <-THE DEVIL TALKING

Platonically holding hands is great and wonderful and solves all your problems except for one, which it causes: literally fucking everyone will think you’re dating
#Aro#aromantic#Ok to rb#AS A ROMANCE REPULSED/NEUTRAL ARO. AAUUUUGGGH. THIS SUCKS#someone will say something about like ‘’omg the young couple—‘’#and i get QUEASY.#For anyone who is not a romance repulsed aro i would describe it as being like#Imagine rejection sensitive dysphoria. But instead of guilt/self hatred/anger#it’s this very intense feeling of violation#‘’Violating’’ is really the only word i can think of for this yeah#moo’s words

people wanting a motive for seul hee's tenacity with the hongs......... beloved peers, i fear the answer is quite simple: that's the dumb rich grandpa she managed to hook and she has already spent more than a decade on this con, her reason is sunk cost and it doesn't matter that it's a fallacy. people often complain about the "met as kids" trope, which i'm not particularly fond of either, but when we get a plot that doesn't revolve around an extended backstory it's suddenly weak? everyone wants a female villain but when she's nasty from beginning to end with no good reason then it's too much?
the second thing bothering me is people being mad that eun seong's death was played as kinda sad and... what the hell? it's sad bc he was a victim that ended up perpetuating the cycles of abuse he suffered, i don't feel like they tried to portrait him as the victim but he certainly was a victim at some point and the fact that he chose to victimize other people to such an extreme instead of dealing with his issues is sad.
p.s.: send some love to park sung hoon who did an awesome job as eun seong and is getting hate for it??? his whole demeanor at the wrap up party when he asked people to hate the character and not him?? it broke my heart 😢
#the thing with sung hoon probably made me dial back the hatred i had for eun song after the beginning of ep 15 and rethink his arch#i mean the parallels of his mother rejecting him so many times and hae in doing the same? that's good writing for a deranged villain#(not that i didn't enjoy hae in's utter resolve in not taking him haha)#park sung hoon#he always looked so nice with his bear eared hearts and cutesy shit when the behind the scenes dropped#and people sent him hate? for being good at his job?#unbelievable#queen of tears

I overshare online because I need constant validation that every thought and action of mine is Good and Okay and Normal. Surely this is a healthy coping mechanism
#something I'm trying to work through#comes from a hard mixture of autism (not knowing if what im doing is Normal behavior)#OCD (guilt loops that last for days weeks months on end)#ADHD (rejection sensitive dysphoria)#being raised christian (always being reminded that bad thoughts and actions will send you to hell)#and trauma from being heavily monitored as a teenager (very used to having every thought & action over-analyzed)#i have a constant craving for validation because of all of those things#which leads me to being a very self-absorbed person#i feel like if people aren't consistently telling me that im a good person then i must be horrible#im putting my emotional work onto others when i do that#making it THEIR responsibility to make me love myself#it's not healthy for you or anyone around you#you can't truly improve yourself if you're always relying on other people to verify whether or not you're okay#especially since everyone has different opinions & biases#if you never learn how to validate yourself you become completely reliant on others#and if you lose that outside validation everything will fall apart#even though i know these things i still haven't broken out of the habit#but that's another thing you have to give yourself grace for#you can't expect yourself to instantly adhere to new expectations#so you're gonna be hypocritical at times#you can't hate youself for that either it takes time to break habits#you need to find the line between self criticism and self hatred#love yourself Or Else. literally.#.bdo

rv!perchwing and havenpelt are like proto violetshine and twigbranch. btw. in that they project their trauma onto them and use it to justify not helping them until the kin destroys them in turn.
#in my verse theyre reedwhisker’s affair babies that he took into the clan and neglected. and curlfeather and podlight rejected them too#and they weren’t separated but they did feel that isolation and hatred from being halfclan ‘’rogues’’#and growing up so soon after the dark forest invasion was especially harrowing#all that grief and hatred got flung at them.#i think grandma mistystar was sorta close to them. but shes also putting on a huge front#so they dont feel like they can really rely on her#i think they were outraged at what happened to twigkit and violetkit. but theyre not really… doing anything either#not like they can do that much but they stayed quiet at that gathering. for their own safety#i think theyre easy pickings for the kin. darktail recruits them and perchwing dies in the final battle#or she dies earlier. like where she dies in canon- pointlessly#and havenpelt is in the same position as violetkit and twigkit now. utterly alone. a tragedy formed in part because of the clans’ hatred

ADHD stop making me easy to upset challenge: impossible
#spaghetti speaks#I’m so petty man#I forget I’m an adult sometimes#rejection sensitive dysphoria#executive dysfunction#injustice sensitivity#I realized why I get so upset when I feel things are unfair#that’s probably why I dislike people who don’t earn things and are just born into lucky circumstances#also probably why I hate taking things from people without giving back in some way#or playing favorites#I don’t know#I’m whiny#and it’s not like I can just vocalize these things to people that are causing upset because they’ll interpret it as pettiness#“why are you getting so worked up about this?” or “why do you even care?”#I don’t know why#I just feel things and hate that I can’t control it#I can’t help my temper is easy to set off because I just got the nice concoction of neurodivergent traits that make it prone to rage#I can try- I sure can try#I’m ranting#i’m ranting again#I will say my hatred of unfairness has made me try and check in with friends when I notice one is being quiet or ignored by others#so there is some sort of positivity I suppose#neurodiversity#neurodivergent#adhd#adhd problems#actually adhd#adhd brain#adhd things#neurodivergency

The worst part is they didn't even do anything wrong. They have a right to choose who they want to be friends with. Anyway, where my queer mentally ill neurodivergent artsy people that like pebbling and direct communication, at?!
