#YOU GET IT??

[rotomartsblog]

Had an idea

[purritobastard]

The similarities between Jonathan Sims and Adora is insane. Like I’m not talking bout personality but their roles in the story.

Sorry if none of this makes sense! Haha, I’m dying inside slowly.

(Spoilers ahead for She-ra and The Magnus Archives)

1. They’re introduced to a new place/environment where trying to do good eventually ends badly for them

- Adora becomes She-Ra and starts training with Light Hope, unknowing that she’s being groomed to help with the Heart of Etheria

- Jon becoming the archivist and trying to organize it (do his job), eventually leading to becoming the Archivist/Archives

2. Them trynna do good ends up undoing the work of their successor

- Adora starts training with Light Hope and ends up accidentally sending Etheria out of Despondos (which Mara put them in to keep them safe)

- Jon cleaning up and organizing the archives, thus contributing to The Eye (which Gertrude had messed it up to give the Eye a disadvantage)

3. Someone who seems somewhat significant to the “good” side ends up being a villain

- Light Hope turning out to be a villain, trying to turn Etheria + She-ra into a weapon

- Elias Bouchard turning out to be a villain, trying to turn Jon into the Archivist/a weapon

4. On that note. Elias Bouchard is Light Hope.

- originally good (we don’t actually know much bout Elias before Jonah except that he was a stoner) but then something changes and they get turned “evil” —> Elias getting possessed, Light Hope getting reprogrammed

5. Jon and Adora try their best to go against what they’ve been groomed for AND FAIL

- Adora tried her best to fight against the portal that Entrapta made, fight against being turned into a weapon, fight to keep Etheria in Despondos (fails)

- Jon fights to keep his humanity, to not be another pawn in Jonah’s game, and to keep the world from becoming the fear factory (fails)

6. That one friend who was originally a good friend of the mc but something happens and they start hating the mc instead

- Glimmer after she becomes queen and starts taking bad influence and being manipulated and does some bad shit (not really hating Adora, but definitely holding a bad grudge and fear of losing her power and disappointing her mom)

- Tim after they discover Sasha was replaced and also that Jon is slowly becoming a monster and is bout ready to kill him and hates him

7. The unbeatable villain ends up becoming just a pawn compared to what’s behind them

- Hordak versus Horde Prime

- Jonah Magnus/all the other avatars versus The Fears

8. THE ENDING.

- I know that Adora gets a happy ending or whatever BUT. The position where Catra’s holding her in her arms and everything is falling apart around them and Adora is almost too far gone and THEY KISS BTW. AHEM AHEM AHEM (sound familiar)

Anyways. It’s actually almost midnight rn and my phone’s bout to die and I’m slowly going insane while continuing my second (?) day of binge watching She-ra

this year while we all celebrate pride month and celebrate ourselves as well as those who came before us and paved the way for us to do so, we must also think of those in gaza, queer or not, who live every day under a brutal occupation and don’t have that same privilege. happy pride, and may we see a free palestine in this lifetime.

I want to step away from the art-vs-artist side of the Gaiman issue for a bit, and talk about, well, the rest of it. Because those emotions you're feeling would be the same without the art; the art just adds another layer.

Source: I worked with a guy who turned out to be heavily involved in an international, multi-state sex-slavery/trafficking ring.

He was really nice.

Yeah.

It hits like a dumptruck of shit. You don't feel stable in your world anymore. How could someone you interacted with, liked, also be a truly horrible person? How could your judgement be that bad? How can real people, not stylized cartoon bogeymen, be actually doing this shit?

You have to sit with the fact that you couldn't, or probably couldn't, have known. You should have no guilt as part of this horror — but guilt is almost certainly part of that mess you're feeling, because our brains do this associative thing, and somehow "I liked [the version of] the guy [that I knew]", or his creations, becomes "I made a horrible mistake and should feel guilty."

You didn't, loves, you didn't.

We're human, and we can only go by the information we have. And the information we have is only the smallest glimpse into someone else's life.

I didn't work closely with the guy I knew at work, but we chatted. He wasn't just nice; he was one of the only people outside my tiny department who seemed genuinely nice in a workplace that was rapidly becoming incredibly toxic. He loaned me a bike trainer. Occasionally he'd see me at the bus stop and give me a lift home.

Yup. I was a young woman in my twenties and rode in this guy's car. More than once.

When I tell this story that part usually makes people gasp. "You must feel so scared about what could have happened to you!" "You're so lucky nothing happened!"

No, that's not how it worked. I was never in danger. This guy targeted Korean women with little-to-no English who were coerced and powerless. A white, fluent, US citizen coworker wasn't a potential victim. I got to be a person, not prey.

Y'know that little warning bell that goes off, when you're around someone who might be a danger to you? That animal sense that says "Something is off here, watch out"?

Yeah, that doesn't ping if the preferred prey isn't around.

That's what rattled me the most about this. I liked to think of myself as willing to stand up for people with less power than me. I worked with Japanese exchange students in college and put myself bodily between them and creeps, and I sure as hell got that little alarm when some asian-schoolgirl fetishist schmoozed on them. But we were all there.

I had to learn that the alarm won't go off when the hunter isn't hunting. That it's not the solid indicator I might've thought it was. That sometimes this is what the privilege of not being prey does; it completely masks your ability to detect the horrors that are going on.

A lot of people point out that 'people like that' have amazing charisma and ability to lie and manipulate, and that's true. Anyone who's gotten away with this shit for decades is going to be way smoother than the pathetic little hangers-on I dealt with in university. But it's not just that. I seriously, deeply believe that he saw me as a person, and he did not extend personhood to his victims. We didn't have a fake coworker relationship. We had a real one. And just like I don't know the ins-and-outs of most of my coworkers lives, I had no idea that what he did on his down time was perpetrate horrors.

I know this is getting off the topic, but it's so very important. Especially as a message to cis guys: please understand that you won't recognize a creep the way you might think you will. If you're not the preferred prey, the hind-brain alarm won't go off. You have to listen to victims, not your gut feeling that the person seems perfectly nice and normal. It doesn't mean there's never a false accusation, but face the fact that it's usually real, and you don't have enough information to say otherwise.

So, yeah. It fucking sucks. Writing about this twists my insides into tense knots, and it was almost a decade ago. I was never in danger. No one I knew was hurt!

Just countless, powerless women, horrifically abused by someone who was nice to me.

You don't trust your own judgement quite the same way, after. And as utterly shitty as it is, as twisted up and unstead-in-the-world as I felt the day I found out — I don't actually think that's a bad thing.

I think we all need to question our own judgement. It makes us better people.

I don't see villains around every corner just because I knew one, once. But I do own the fact that I can't know, really know, about anyone except those closest to me. They have their own full lives. They'll go from the pinnacles of kindness to the depths of depravity — and I won't know.

It's not a failing. It's just being human. Something to remember before you slap labels on people, before you condemn them or idolize them. Think about how much you can't know, and how flawed our judgement always is.

Grieve for victims, and the feeling of betrayal. But maybe let yourself off the hook, and be a bit slower to skewer others on it.

My fellow bitches under 5'5. Whatever the money, do not take a job working at a middle school. A fellow adult tried to put me in detention last month and would NOT give up until I showed her my badge proving Yes, The School Hired Me To Work Here. It's not meant for people our height.

Something that I have noticed is I know almost nobody my age that goes to a food pantry. I know people who regularly run out of money for food and in general have to eat an unsuitable diet because that’s what they can afford and they still don’t go to a food bank, im not sure if it’s because they’re embarrassed or maybe if you didn’t grow up going you don’t know much about it but if you’re financially struggling I really recommend it. And look into other options for food assistance too like community fridges and gardens and other programs that can assist you, where I live Salvation Army pays for an allotted amount of grocery delivery for low income people every month, in the summer farmers take excess produce to the library to be taken by anyone who needs it, etc. There are a LOT of resources for free food that you can look into especially if you are literally not eating because of your financial situation

you know that post that's like "if thinking naruto would be proud of you for brushing your teeth gets you to brush your teeth go for it" well today i texted my friends and asked them to pretend to be wizards sending me on a grand quest to eat lunch and buy hand soap and it worked so well i put a load of laundry in and did the dishes too so. i don't know what the lesson is here but maybe give that a try

[mayhemchicken-artblog]
