Damsel and Prisoner

[sarafangirlart]

The Damsel in Distress trope is fine as long as the damsel in question has her own goals, personality and story outside of her rescuer. You don’t “fix” the trope by just making the damsel strong in a masculine sense, or making her rescuer the “real villain”, or making her “save herself” (which is low key victim blaming) then call it a day, female characters can be strong without being physically strong.

Differences between my five favorite Slay the Princess ships:

Witch would storm up to the counter and say that Damsel asked for no pickles, while Damsel is right behind her quickly saying that it's okay and she doesn't want to cause a fuss.

Both Adversary and Razor asked for pickles, but they both cause a scene anyway so they can get another free meal and maybe punch a waiter or two. They also dare each other to try the spiciest thing on the menu.

Hero doesn't want to bother any of the waitstaff because they might be overworked or having a bad day, but Contrarian gets him a meal without pickles anyway. When Hero asks, Contrarian just shrugs and says that he's not good at doing what people tell him to do, but it's obvious that he did it because he cares.

Skeptic asked for pickles, Prisoner didn't, and they both got the opposite. Prisoner simply gives her pickles to Skeptic and they go back to speculating what those guys in dark suits in the corner are up to.

Smitten is absolutely aghast that someone would dare give pickles to his amazing and lovely significant other when he didn't ask for it, this is an outrage, I demand to speak to whoever is in charge and for the kitchen to bring back an entirely new meal, free of pickles! And when he's finally done ranting and looks back at the table, Cold has eaten the entire meal, pickles and all, and proclaims that he's changed his mind and that he likes pickles now.

I have an urge to draw comics based on Blood on the Clocktower games (as if these were events happening in an actual village), but I fear they’d read as nonsense to everyone but me 😫

hello sweeties! i'm going back home today to take a whole two-weeks++ break from everything, which will probably include actively posting in general.

i might still pop in to ramble and scrumble sometimes, but i want to try harder to be present at the moment so i can spend lots of quality time with my family and recharge! meanwhile, my queue will run as per usual. if you leave any asks/replies/mentions, i may see it, but i might only reply once my mini-holiday concludes.

thank you always for your support and i hope to see you again all refreshed and de-stressed ✨🩷

Holy fucking shit I did NOT survive the wisdom saga

[camels-pen]

Usopp's in the middle of chatting about something when he suddenly gets lightheaded and wobbles. He assures his worried crewmates that he's probably just tired from night watch or something, so he's gonna go sleep-

except he doesn't have time to say much else because in the next moment, he passes out completely. The others are alarmed of course, and Sanji, who was closest, tries to catch Usopp, but he's caught by a mysterious figure instead.

The mysterious figure takes care to handle Usopp gently and the others are taking their stances and telling this unknown to let go of him, but the person ignores them and, eventually, kidnaps Usopp off the ship.

The mysterious figure is someone who sacrifices people with strong (or strong enough) connections to spirits (even one spirit is enough) for power or eternal life or something. They noticed Usopp on Sunny sailing close by their island and went "yoink, mine now". The crew learns this when they ask the island's villagers.

The person never says what fruit they use, but Robin assumed & shared that it was probably the 'mist mist fruit'.

Sanji gets it in his head somehow that Usopp can only be awakened by True Love's Kiss. Zoro thinks he's fucking stupid. They fight about it.

Luffy beats up the mist person, they grab Usopp and get back to the ship.

Usopp isn't in a magical sleep, the mist person just used their mist to make him breathe in some sleeping gas without knowing. He'll be up in a few hours and be just fine according to Chopper. Sanji still kisses Usopp lots while he's asleep, so that maybe Usopp would wake up at the same time as one of his kisses & Sanji could say the 186th kiss was the charm (also because he wanted to kiss Usopp).

I lied, put your clothes back on we’re gonna talk about how modern discourse and rewrites on the ‘damsel in distress’ trope are actually low key victim blame-y and don’t actually give the damsel in question more agency but rather make her “‘strong’”’ in a masculine sense.

‼️💡 (ʘ_ʘ) SCARY THOUGHT (ʘ_ʘ)💡‼️

lucy getting fatally injured and tim pleading with her the same way she did when he ended things with her, and repeating that same phrase through tears as she's bleeding out, like "don't do this. please, don't do this. don't leave me."
