#Sibling Abuse TW

[musicalmoritz]

I don’t understand how so many Teru fans acknowledge that he was abused and STILL agree with him that all supernaturals are evil, when that belief itself is a product of the abuse he experienced. Teru did not come up with the “there are no good supernaturals” concept on his own, that sentiment has been in the Minamoto clan since Hakubo served them. Abusive households will brainwash you into believing things in order to keep you in line, which we see with Teru in how he’s entirely unable to see nuance in the situation due to his upbringing. That black and white way of thinking has been ingrained in him as a way to mold him into the perfect child soldier

Compare him to Kou, who didn’t endure the same physical abuse that Teru did (physical as in being put in life-threatening situations, Kou was still neglected which is also a form of abuse). He wasn’t expected to be an exorcist and therefore those ideals weren’t pushed on him as heavily as they were Teru. He’s able to look at things more objectively that way, because his feelings on the matter aren’t the product of a trauma response (trauma or any form of mental illness can skew people’s perception of things)

Also keep in mind that Teru contradicts himself at multiple points throughout the series. He lets the mokke live because Tiara likes them, even keeping one as a pet. He allies himself with Akane despite his association with the Clock Keepers. He lets Hanako get away because he doesn’t want to upset Kou. If Teru truly believed that there were NO good supernaturals, he wouldn’t make exceptions. Because that would mean putting his siblings in danger, and we all know that’s the last thing Teru wants to do

To be clear, I’m sure Teru does genuinely think that all supernaturals are evil. It’s a known fact that Teru HATES supernaturals. However, I think he is at least subconsciously aware of his own hypocrisy. That’s why Akane’s betrayal hit him so hard, for once he relied on his own instincts rather than the beliefs his abusers spoon-fed him, and he paid the price for it. But that doesn’t mean he was wrong to trust his gut!! In fact it’s a GOOD thing that Teru was able to make an exception, he made friends that way and seemed to have some impressive character development. Even if he didn’t realize he was doing it, looking past his own beliefs helped him grow so much as a person. He found an escape that way, something he wouldn’t have found if he stuck with what he was taught

Anyways. Most people who give this take don’t gaf abt humanizing the supernatural characters so I wanted to show how it harms Teru as well. By saying “all supernaturals are evil” you are agreeing more with Teru’s abusers than Teru himself

"Acolyte" Michelangelo has joined the group chat

THANK U AGAIN TO @anixolt for accepting this commission request!!! Looks like 'Dino'-tello has unexpected company 👀

Hailing from his own alternate reality, "Acolyte" Mikey & his brothers had a very different childhood than the mad Dogs we all know and love. Set in a feudal Japan-esque world, Mikey and his brothers were raised under the Ninja Tribunal in a remote temple as future protectors of humanity...

However, fate was unkind to the lackadaisical Michelangelo who doubted the legend of the foretold 'Krang Invasion'-- let alone it happening much sooner than anticipated.

[link to twitter thread]

More lore below! (but heed the content warnings!!)

CW: implied family death, implied child abuse

Inspired by the 2003 "Acolyte" Arc, Mikey and his brothers were given to the Ninja Tribunal as children to raise as warriors on account of being gifted with mystic abilities; something very rare and unheard of in their universe.

Mikey was the most mystically inclined of his brothers. Because of this, he doesn't take training very seriously. He's also the oldest brother in his universe, but takes that role very, very seriously.

Splinter was their "father"... however, he was the one who gave them to the Ninja Tribunal. And they weren't exactly 'lenient' with children. Not when their purpose was to become warriors to defend the world. Because of this, Mikey hates Splinter. With every fiber in his body.

But despite their upbringing, Mikey was fun and kind.

But homie cannot cook to save his life

However, due to events during the invasion... Mikey is the last man standing. On the whole planet.

And he Snaps

With elevated powers and grief, Mikey traverses the heavens to hunt Krang and their settlements.

He uses dried Krang blood as his mask, having lost his in battle (and Krang blood dries orange when oxidized)

He dots his yellow spots with a drop of Krang blood to mirror Krang eyes. Using mystic abilities, the faux eyes can move and "look" around too. Terrifying.

However, due to classic Hamato shenanigans— 'Acolyte' Mikey may find himself drawn to a very, very different place than a Krang settlement 👀👀👀

If you have been abused by a sibling, that is valid.

Some people may brush off or downplay it, perhaps saying what you went through is “just normal behaviour between siblings.”

What you went through was abuse. It was “bad enough” to “really” be abuse. Don’t let people make you feel it wasn’t.

[problematic-maleslash-polls]

Do you ship it?

Problematic Reasons: Brothers, abusive

Propaganda: They’re so incredibly abnormal, every relationship they ever have outside of each other feels doomed, because nobody can compete. Dean is very possessive of Sam, and Sam is defiant at times but ultimately lets himself get ensnared. Dean sells his soul to bring Sam back from the dead because he can’t stand living in a world without him, and Sam is 100% willing to do the same. The parallels of Sam being Lucifer’s vessel, the boy with the demon blood, etc and Dean being the Michael sword and god’s favorite soldier— it’s incredible! Also, at one point they encounter a siren who pretends to be Sam in order to get to Dean rather than being the the typical attractive woman like it had been doing for its other targets.

[batfambrainrotbeloved]

I want to write batfam (just core four rn) w/ their respective partners but every single ship is just

red flag x red flag

TW- Obsessive/ Unhealthy love and relationships, just descriptions though

Dick & Wally? They are the clingy toxic- what do you mean you want a seperate life/hobbies that don't involve me? The kind of people to take "Would you love me if I was a worm"? way too seriously and cry if they dont get the "right" answer. God forbid you try "I was asleep" for not texting back.

Jason & Roy? Fire meets fire, get the cops called on them at least once a week. Every disagreement is a full out brawl before long, but they always end up amping up and then patching eachother's wounds with kisses and gauze. Hard to tell if its genuine hate or flirting sometimes- maybe both.

Tim & Bernard? Stalker ship. Privacy? You mean you don't love me enough to want me to have your location 24/7?? It's a push and pull of control and constant reminders that secrets are an illusion. But they also are way too enamored with the fact someone would love them to the point of obsession to really be that bothered. "You made me a shrine?? Aww babe it even has my missing shirt, that must have been a pain to get" kinda shit.

Dami & Jon? Stubborn to the max, the couple that breaks up at least once a week and then makes up two hours later after keying a car and throwing a game system in water. Drag everyone into their fights and hold grudges like theres no tomorrow. Also god forbid trigger jealousy. Will pull the "I don't think you should hang out with them, they're not good for you" shit

Now any of these behaviors in any other context?? Fuck that. But theres something about "Is it really toxic if neither of us are innocent" kinda fictional ship that I love. Also let Batfam be fucking insane especially when it comes to their partners.

Fuck man I knew aai 1-4 had MVK being dismissive and abusive to the siblings but fuck man.

Actively saying that attending his 13 year old daughters courtroom debut isn't a priority for him

Then this exchange which is prompted by nothing beyond Miles asking to do his job even using the Von Karma framing of finding perfection only for Manfred to just completely shut him down and verbally abuse him

Miles then being completely unable to respond in shame. Even though this is God damn Bratworth were talking about and in the last scene he was saying this

And then Fran coming in to desperately try and deflect her father ire to protect him

Then when she finally does convince him to let them investigate he says this

Basically actively admitting to anyone with the context we have now that he's only making Miles a procecutor to sully Gregory's legacy.

Then Miles thanking her because he saw her defelcting Manfreds abuse for him.

Just absolutely heart breaking. It really shows the dynamic at play here perfectly. He doesn't care about Franziska. He is not putting this energy into her career and only putting it into Miles' because he is using it as an avenue to abuse and control him and further enact his revenge on Gregory. And she doesn't understand why. She doesn't get why Miles gets this attention and she doesn't. But she already knows that she has to deflect his attention to protect Miles. And Miles doesn't understand how he's doing everything he can to do the right thing but is still his target. Its such a genuinely interesting dynamic where both of them think the other is the favourite. Miles thinks it Fran because he's not constantly verbally abusing her and Fran thinks it's Miles because he actually bothers to give him the time of day and is properly mentoring him. She's 13 man. She's about to become a prosecutor at 13 and he still doesn't care about her in the slightest.

Ugh Von Karma siblings, my heart

[yournormalidiot]

Even tho no one asked, here are my shepherd siblings hc (cause I love them sm and they live rent free in my head despite my best efforts😒)

Angela has heat damaged her hair, it's not so bad anymore but it's was really bad when she was 12/13. She started straightening it everyday cause non if the "pretty" or "popular" girls had curly hair. (And hers is really curly, like 4c or smth [idk hos the curl chart thing works ok, om sorry😭]) but when she hit 14 she realised that even after washing it, it wouldn't curl. At most get a wave and it was SO frizzy, so she decided to stop straightening her hair.

Tim also has heat damage, cause he did straightened it to and them would keep it gelled like that for DAYS on end. Mostly cause non if the older, "tough" greasers he hung around with curls like him. So he tried to fit their image, but when anglea started trying to heal her hair she made tim to. (Curly is the only one with non heat damaged hair)

Non of them were thought how ti take care of their hair by their mother (I hc that they get their curly hair from their mother) so instead Angela went to evie. Cause evie was like her older sister figure (and evies hair is similar to theirs and is so extremely healthy)

so evie though them all how to take care of their hair.

☆°☆°☆°☆°☆°

Tim and Angela have a different dad to curly.

☆°☆°☆°☆°☆°

Angela and curly are irish twins, Angela is February and curly is September.

☆°☆°☆°☆°☆°

When Angela was born her ambiblical cord got wrapped around her neck and almost strangled her. She came out blue.

☆°☆°☆°☆°☆°

They all thought curly would be a girl, Angela was very disappointed when he wasn't and it was partly why he was named curly.

Curly name is littarly curly, that was cause their mother didn't care enough to come up with a name (she want gonna look after him anyway and Angela and Tim were named by their dad) and curly dad didn't even want him alive, so tim and angles planned to name him. Angela had a girls name picked out but sense curly was a boy they were stumped. So tim just said the first word that came to mind.

☆°☆°☆°☆°☆°

Curly dad is an asshole, he was abusive and badly feed their mother drug addiction.

Tim and Angela's dad wasn't that bad though, he wasn't great and did beat them but usually as punishment (like what was normal for the time) and he did try make sure they were clean, fed and clothed. Sadly he died from alcohol poisoning. (He was an alcoholic, but luckily he was actually a very fun and giddy drunk)

☆°☆°☆°☆°☆°

Tim can't cook for shit, at most he can make scrambled egg. But he can sow and also nit, he makes and repairs alot of their clothes.

Angela also can't cook for shit, she can cook beef and pasta and any veg that just needs to be defrosted. But she bakes and does so very well, she's always making fresh bread.

Curly can cook and he is the one who makes meals usually (Angela does when he get locked up or they get take away) curly is a surprisingly good cook, man's makes anything and everything. He adores getting recpir books (especially old ones) and making the recipes.

He also liked making his own and has his own recipe book. It's a very battered sketch book that pony gave him when he found out curly liked to make his own recipes so that he'd stop just jotting them down on random sticky notes. But curly still eyeballs it alot, especially when he used to the recipe.

☆°☆°☆°☆°☆°

There all cat people and feed the strays in the neighbourhood. Angela used to name them all when she was younger and would employ the help of curly.

☆°☆°☆°☆°☆°

Curly has gotten so many injures he lacks ir is completely numb in alot of places around his body. (Most hands, face and legs)

☆°☆°☆°☆°☆°

Tim is freaked out by pony (ik this is kinda popular but not just cause pony's a little odd somtimes. [Like, from prev hc I've seen: sleep walking or talking in unison with johnny that reminded tim of the shining ect]) but also cause pony's pain tolerance is freakishly high and so is his emotional control.

Like when he saw pony and curly playing chicken with cigarettes. It didn't surprise him how long curly lasted But pony really freaked him out, cause (as it said in the book) you could smell flesh burning. And pony was just sitting there, grimacing but clearly not as effected as he should be by his skin being given a 3rd degree burn.

Also pony, yes does takes thing to heart alot and does often wear his heart on his sleeve. But he can control his emotion so well its freaky.

Tims watched some sad movie with curly and pony (pony is a known crier at sad movies) and tim could see it in his face that he wanted to cry, but pony didn't want to cry infront of tim so he just didn't..he swolled his tears and waited till it was just him and curly.

Tims seen pony in suituations where like socs were pulling the absolute piss out of him all day. And pony literally just ignored them, he didn't even bat an eye once. The socs got so bored the gave up or he'd trun around and causally box them the walk away. (The only time pony can't control his emotion is when things get really personal or he's around people he's feels genuinely safe with)

☆°☆°☆°☆°☆°

They all have anger issues..tims are the worst

☆°☆°☆°☆°☆°

Angela runs the house (bit like a mother) and usually if she's in a bad mood it puts the other 2 in one as well

☆°☆°☆°☆°☆°

Tim taught both curly and Angela to fight and their both very good at it. Angela also got a few tips from sylvia and evie. And curly being the youngest just always fought dirty.

☆°☆°☆°☆°☆°

Angela is really close with evie cause Tim and evie used to be friendly when they were small. (The were neighbours) and Angela saw evie like a sister figure.

She also befriended sylvia cause dally is friends with Tim and Brough her around. (She hates when sylvia two times dally tho and won't talk to her for a while after she does)

☆°☆°☆°☆°☆°

Tim and dally are actually good friends, they just like to piss each other off cause thats their personalities.

Angela and dally also get along really well, they have similar sense of humor and dally likes that's Angela is so laid back and mature.

Dally and curly (as I saw someone else say) are a more violent version of Steve and ponyboy.

☆°☆°☆°☆°☆°

Tim, darry and two all used ti be really good friends. There's plenty of stories and photos of the trio as kids doing dumb things. And the Curtis parents helped teach tim how to care and deam with babies and little kids.

But as they git older and tim got rougher, darry and two pulled away and eventually they kinda just stopped talking. Their still all friendly and two will go out for drinks with tim the odd time.

☆°☆°☆°☆°☆°

Their mam is African American, tim and Angela's dad Mexican. Curly dad's is second gen Brazilian (like he grew up in America but both his parents are Brazilian, idk how to word it😭)

☆°☆°☆°☆☆°☆°

[feralboo-the-weirdo]

I don’t feel like myself. I don't think there's much of myself I should feel like. I don't know if I'm a horrible person. I don't know if I'm the problem. I don't know if I'm over reacting. I just want to be seen. I want to be valued. I want someone to care about my thoughts regardless of if I'm part of their religion. I want to stop making my depression everyone's problem. But it feels serious. And I'm not making it everyone's problem. I've barely talked about it. No one has really noticed. I'm not doing well. I'm kinda the worst I've ever been. I wish someone would ask but I don't want to talk. Y'know?

A reflection on Mysterious Skin + My story

Trauma, siblinghood and the quiet echoes of csa

When I first watched Mysterious Skin and I saw Brian on screen, I saw myself.

There's something brilliant in the way Araki and Scott unpack the idea of escapism in trauma survivors.

On one side, there's the mind burying unbearable memories, using fantasy as a shield. Reshaping the abuse into something alien, literally. A terrain where memory is unreliable and a made-up story is safer than facing the truth head-on.

Then there’s self-destruction, romanticization of pain, hypersexuality as a survival mechanism. Walking willingly into the wound, replaying the trauma through a reckless life, using sex as both a form of control and a way to stay tethered to what scarred you.

Escapism here isn’t a soft place to land, but a raw dive into the edges of the human psyche. It reminds me of what Lynch does in his work, though Araki never slips into surrealism; he moves through a kind of underground realism, gritty, immediate, and painfully human.

"And somehow, amidst the brutality,

there is beauty."

I’ve never had that easy, warm sibling bond I saw in my friends’ homes. My parents would say, “I’ve never seen two siblings fight like you two.” And I convinced myself it was just a rough dynamic, the kind you grow out of. But there was something that shifted back and forth between my brother being my playmate and someone I feared. At night, my brother would reappear in my dreams as the villain I had to run from.

It's just how brothers are.

No matter how much my mother insists he loves me, I’ve never felt loved by him. I’ve felt small. Stupid. Like my existence itself was somehow wrong.

And beneath all that, something heavier lingers. Like that day, years ago, when boundaries were crossed on a couch in a house that should have felt safe. I was barely seven; he was already living in a world seven years ahead of mine.

Like the film and novel, my life feels caught between silence and confrontation, between wanting to move on and not knowing how to. Watching Brian repress and reframe, or Neil choose recklessness to regain a sense of control, I felt myself somewhere in between.

I’ve spent years unsure of how intimacy is supposed to feel. Unsure if my fear of closeness is just about discomfort with my body or something else. I’ve questioned my sexuality, confused by whether I’m interested in women or afraid of men. Maybe I don't want anyone to be that close to me. Every attempt at intimacy feels hollow, heavy with a sense of wrongness I can’t quite shake.

Despite it all, my brother is still part of my life. There’s a contradiction in knowing he’s hurt me but still feeling a complicated kind of care. When he says he knows I hate him, it only confuses me more.

Mysterious Skin made me sit with these feelings and realize that some stories don't end. They linger quietly.
