[practically-an-x-man]

this is a random hill to die on but i'm tired of Southern actors by and large only being allowed to be Southern if they're playing 1. a cowboy/gunslinger/soldier 2. a stereotypical redneck/hick or 3. a Southern belle

[fandomaddictwut]

I’ve seen some people complaining about Channing Tatum/his accent in Deadpool & Wolverine, and I just want to set a few things straight.

Channing has been on the docket to play Gambit since 2005, but each and every time, the character was cut from the script, he had a prior contract, or the director kept getting replaced until the project was scrapped 4 years later with the Fox/Disney merger.

He has family in Louisiana and grew up in the bayous (albeit in rural Alabama). This character has meant something to him since CHILDHOOD when it comes to representation in media.

Gambit doesn’t speak SAE (Standard American English). He’s a street urchin from Acadia/New Orleans. He grew up speaking Cajun (a mix of Southern American, Canadian French, and España Spanish grammar applied to a mostly English vocabulary) and Louisiana French (an offshoot of Canadian French from Acadians).

Every person I’ve seen online who ACTUALLY GREW UP around people who speak Cajun, Creole, and/or Louisiana French has said that his accent is SPOT ON, maybe even a little too clear.

All this to say: if you can’t understand Gambit in Deadpool & Wolverine, you’re not supposed to. That’s the bit: unless you’re used to those dialects and accents, you’re shit outta luck trying to parse it out without help. Hell, even Rogue, who grew up in the South, doesn’t know what he’s saying half the time.

— "best brother ever!" tiktok trend with hq men

≪ back to fics masterlist

hq character x gn!reader

a/n: just some more crack filled headcanons while i churn out the rest of the requests 🫡 saw a vid of someone doing this and i was thinking of how the hq characters would react to it LOL hope you enjoyy

cw: fluff, humour, swearing oops, mild suggestiveness towards the end ?

The trend:

"Babe, come 'ere!"

Curious, your boyfriend stepped into the living room where you had your camera set up on a tripod pointing towards you. When he reached your side, you pointed at the camera and explained, "We're gonna do a tiktok trend so just stand here, okay?"

He nodded, before smiling a little and waving at the camera.

Grabbing onto his waist protectively, you spoke to the camera. "If you wanna get to him, you're gonna have to get through me first."

Then you leaned up and kissed him on the lips. He smiled into the kiss, happily kissing you back. Pulling away, you gave him a side hug and turned to the camera, dropping the bomb with a shit eating grin on your face.

"Best brother ever!!"

The reaction:

atsumu and oikawa would scream. and i mean scream. like they're in a horror movie or smth "AYO WHAT THE FUCK???" with all the dramatic facial expressions and hand gestures like bro shut up my eardrums are gonna explode 💀

tanaka, nishinoya and bokuto are the slow processors. they'd just keep smiling and would only get it right before you stop the video. he's HORRIFIED and whipping his head at you like "WHAT DID YOU SAYYY" you cannot stop laughing and poor guy's probably traumatised.

kageyama, hinata and ushijima would be confused. like "why'd you say that? i'm not your brother" or even better, "you don't have a brother" and you'll be looking at the camera like jim from the office like does he not get it ?? 😭💀

akaashi and shirabu would stand there staring at you with the most incredulous look on his face. he'd lowkey be judging you and be like "wHat..." sorry babe it's just a prank 🥰

semi would choke on his laughter and shove you away saying stfu but he'd be laughing about it and he'd probably help you post it afterwards. this man is so... HAHAHAHA i love him 😂

sakusa would also shove you away saying stfu but he's lunging to grab the phone so you can't post it (you'll still post it anyway LOL)

tsukki is all three of the above. would look at you with the MOST JUDGY face on earth before shoving you out of the camera frame saying stfu

kenma, osamu and suna would have the most DISGUSTED look on his face and you can't help but laugh at how his face is scrunched up and pinched together

kita would have the most disappointed look on his face like you'd honestly regret doing the tiktok (it's still funny tho. 10/10 would post)

iwaizumi would freeze, slowly turn to you and stare at you with the same face he made when oikawa asked him "iwa-chan, are you my mom?" HAHAHAHSJHJVF GOODBYE

daichi and suga would be like "bruh". nothing else. just pure "bruh" 😐

matsukawa, hanamaki and kuroo WOULD GO ALONG WITH IT HAHAHAHA "yeah best lil sis/bro ever" AND THEN KISS YOU ON CAMERA AGAIN, EVEN DEEPER THIS TIME 💀 then you'd collapse laughing together

tendō would turn his head, look at you with a loving smile and say "what the fuck did you just say?"

asahi would not know how to respond so he's just standing there looking between you and the camera like "huh..."

futakuchi "this ain't alabama, babe..."

extra thoughts!

after you record all that, iwaizumi and akaashi (he a freaky one 👀) will smirk, smack ur ass and say "best little sibling ever" before kissing u deep 🫶 do what you will with that information

also if tsukki was in a good mood, he'd prolly play along but in the most sarcastic way possible HAHAHA like "yeah, best little sibling ever" before kissing you out of frame lol

The Baseball Team’s Newest Switch-Hitter II

“Hey Craig, did you not hear me?” Seth inquired, trying to get his transformation subject to respond to his previous statement. “You don’t remember being a college sophomore or the fact that we’ve been friends for years? Do you have a concussion or something?” 

Sitting there for a moment, Craig tried his best to think about what the other man was saying. Ever since he first stepped foot in Seth’s dorm room, his mind has been struggling to wrap his head around the simple statements that Seth made about him. Although he thought this was just due to his dim-witted nature, the reality of the situation was that Seth was a jock who seemingly had an ability to alter people’s bodies and reality to reflect those changes. Originally stepping foot in this dorm room, Craig had been a 34-year-old average African American man. But due to Seth’s magical words, he had regressed back to 19 and gained significant muscles to turn him into a college jock. 

“Oh uh, that… sort of sounds familiar,” Craig said under his breath, unaware of the fact that his memories of his old life were being replaced with the memories of a 19-year-old jock who was best friends with Seth. 

“Yeah, that’s right bro, these college exams must be fucking with your head or something, I can’t believe you’d forget something like that!” 

Eliciting a deep chuckle, Craig responded to his best friend’s statement. “I guess so, classes are so fucking stupid though dude,” he exclaimed, gritting his teeth as he recalled the fact that he had an 8-page English essay that he still had to do for this pompous asshole named Mr. Reynolds. Although he knew that he wasn’t the smartest student around (he recalled how ever since middle school he was always a student who averaged a C / C- final grade), Craig knew that Reynolds was just being a stubborn old asshole since he was probably just jealous of how popular and hunky he was. Clearly, the man didn’t have the best time in school, so he had to take it out on normal people like Craig just because being sociable and studly came innately for him. 

“True, but not all of college is bad right?” Seth continued, breaking the man out of his thoughts while moving over to his mini-fridge and slowly opening it. Upon watching Seth reach into the fridge, Craig observed as the jock pulled out two cans of Guinness beer. “We can party, play sports, get wasted, and fuck absolutely anyone we want. You know what, take a beer and destress dude. You definitely look like you need it,” he said, extending an arm out and offering the drink to the transforming dorm worker. 

Although he reached out and took the drink from the jock, Craig couldn’t fight the feeling that drinking in a dorm room was wrong. “Uh, I don’t know dude, I don’t want to get caught by some nosy-ass RA,” he said, looking down at the can and trying to fight his intense urges to crack it open and immediately guzzle it down. 

“Now c’mon man, when has the threat of getting caught ever stopped you from drinking some beer? It’s in your Irish veins bro, you can’t resist getting drunk!” 

In response, Craig’s mind began to undergo a severe transformation to replace his memories of being brought up in an African American household. With reality twisting and bending to match what Seth said about him, it didn’t take long before Craig’s recollection of his new life emerged. Instead of growing up in rural Alabama, the transforming man was reminded of his status as a Midwesterner that was born and raised in Michigan. Not only that, but this new life had also changed his family until he was now the descendant of some Irish immigrants that moved to the United States in hopes of a better life. 

As such, the man’s body began to undergo some severe revamps to match this new identity. Firstly, the man’s skin color began to immediately lighten, starting from the man’s feet and moving up. So as Seth patiently waited for the man’s changes to become visible to him, it wasn’t until the change reached his arms that he was able to witness Craig’s racial change. Within a few minutes, his complexion underwent a severe transformation, growing from a rich brown shade to a nearly pale tone. 

Upon finishing up this transformation, two more changes began in tandem: the shift of his facial features and the alterations for every inch of hair that covered his body. As his lips and nose grew narrower and he gained prominent dimples, there was a sudden change in the man’s skull as he gained a more angular jawline that left him looking incredibly masculine. While the changing of his facial features neared its conclusion, every follicle of hair from the man’s head to toes began to shift in shade. Although Craig still maintained a curly hairstyle, the consistency and color shifted until it became a lightly curled ginger-colored head of hair. This lightening in shade continued down through the man’s body as all of his body hair and facial hair lightened to turn him into a red-blooded Irish man. 

Despite how his entire mind and body was altering under Seth’s phrasing, Craig believed that nothing was amiss with himself. Instead, he recalled his friend’s last sentence and tried his best to formulate a response. “Oh uh, you’re totally right bro. I could drink you under a table with ease,” he jeered, allowing one of his wide hands to slap the brunette on his thinner shoulders while the other hand used its fingers to finally crack open the beer can. Continuing to smirk at Seth, Craig gripped onto the beer can and took a long swig of beer, smiling as he savored the alcoholic flavor as it flowed down his throat. 

“Yeah, it’s no wonder why you’re the biggest party animal on the entire baseball team dude,” Seth responded, returning Craig’s physical contact with his own slapping of the ginger’s broad shoulders. But as Seth continued to chuckle and wait for the man to embrace his new identity of a baseball jock, his smile began to falter as the ginger suddenly began to hyperventilate. 

Upon hearing the concept of becoming a star player on the baseball team, Craig’s personality rushed back to prominence in his mind given just how far of a leap Seth had attempted to change him. Craig didn’t have an athletic bone in his body, so the concept of playing professional sports in college rather than some intramural activity for fun was a literal shock to his system. But while this was shocking in and of itself, Craig was understandably in awe as he looked down at his right hand and noted the beer can that was squeezed around his now pale and ginger-haired arms. “Uh what the fuck is happening to me, Mr. Lewis?” he cried out, immediately setting down the beer can on top of the mini-fridge and observing his now-Caucasian limbs. 

Needing to act fast, Seth tried his best at attempting to get the man back under his magical suggestion. Obviously he couldn’t let the dorm worker escape the room and reveal his abilities, so Seth needed to finish the transformation as quickly as possible. “Uh Nolan, why are you calling me by my last name? We’re literally best friends, that’s why we’re rooming together. Don’t you remember meeting on the baseball team back when you were a freshman and me complimenting you on your batting average? You’re literally one of the best players on the team!” 

Although in his mind Craig tried his best to remain in control and flee from this trashy dorm room, Seth’s power was too overbearing for him to prevent. No matter how many mental barriers he tried to put up to prevent the jock from completely erasing his identity, Seth was able to easily destroy them and alter the man’s mind as he saw fit. So as he felt his identity begin to lose dominance in his mind, Craig forced his eyes shut and tried to envision his family one last time before everything faded to black. 

With the ginger-haired jock’s mind now completely empty, the lack of control caused his body to immediately tumble back and fall into the clothing-covered bed that he had once been sitting on. But this didn’t last for long though, as the identity of Nolan O’Connor began to quickly fill up the empty noggin. Just like Seth, Nolan was another cocky jock who loved nothing more than flaunting his muscles, flirting with any woman he met, taunting any dweeb or fag that dared to look at him longer than he liked, and being a lazy slob of a human being. 

Speaking of flaunting his muscles, this became especially clear to Seth as the unconscious man’s clothing began to shift before his eyes. The tattered dress shirt that he wore faded away in seconds, leaving nothing but the man’s shirtless torso for the magically-gifted jock to ogle at. The most severe change came to his pants though as the khaki fabric shortened and changed consistency and color until they became a mesh pair of blacked athletic shorts. Continuing to look at the man’s shifting shorts though, Seth was suddenly finding himself realizing that the man was wearing no underwear as he could make out the outline of Nolan’s cock through the mesh holes. 

As the new jock’s mind began to finalize its transformation, the dorm room underwent a few slight moderations to better fit in with this new reality. Posters of nearly nude Playboy models quickly appeared on his wall, while the closet was filled with a slew of tank tops and other athletic wear. However, Nolan’s bed also found a few more sweaty clothes manifest on top of the comforter, with the odor of one of those rancid articles of clothing causing the brand-new jock to finally re-awaken and sit up. 

“Fuck dude, how long was I out for? I don’t even remember falling asleep,” Nolan grumbled as he stretched out his arms. As he went through a deep yawn, his closed eyes made him oblivious to his new roommate’s poor attempt at keeping a straight face. 

“Oh uh, not long at all man. We were just having some drinks until you passed out during our chat about school,” Seth responded, licking his lips in delight as he watched the ginger-haired jock finally sit up and naturally grab his half-drunk beer can off the top of the mini-fridge. Before Seth could say a single thing towards the jock, he instinctively chugged the remainder of the drink before crushing the metal can with his thick and meaty hand and tossing it across the room into a trashcan. 

“Goddamn bro, that shit was good,” Nolan purred, patting his stomach for a moment before abruptly stopping. Out of nowhere, the room was suddenly rocked with a loud belch as Nolan smirked to himself. Although most of his friends struggled to carry their liquor, the ginger-haired jock was infamous for being able to drink countless beers and still not feel even the slightest hint of a buzz. While he was sure that his descendants weren’t happy to see that his Irish genes were so beneficial in this regard, Nolan felt no desire to really be an outstanding individual. 

He was a self-proclaimed idiot, so the only reason why he was even at college at all was due to his immense talent with baseball. He was a great batter and even more impressive when it came to working the outfield, so it wasn’t a shock that he was able to get a full-ride scholarship to this college despite his barely passing grades. 

Upon moving back towards the bed, Nolan felt no inner desire to not be himself around his best friend and teammate Seth. As such, it was no surprise for either of them as Nolan instinctively reached his hand behind him and then underneath the waistband of his shorts as he squinted his face and began to scratch his ass. 

Throughout the entire experience, Seth couldn’t resist chuckling as he watched his creation behave just like he envisioned him to. Despite being a fairly athletic guy due to being on the baseball team, the brunette jock wasn’t the most popular individual around. So, when that worker came in to remove him from the dorm, Seth wasn’t afraid of leaning into his family's gift of altering bodies and reality to get rid of the man while also giving himself a hunky best friend. In fact, with this new friend and roommate, new memories informed Seth about just how great Nolan was at being a wingman. With that hunky ginger jock there to help him sweet talk the various women he met at college parties, there was barely a night that went by without both of them returning to the dorm with a woman that they each eagerly fucked for several hours. 

But despite their obvious attraction towards the opposite sex, Seth’s status as a closeted bisexual had also altered reality to make Nolan a dumb himbo who was willing to fuck or be fucked by anyone he deemed attractive enough. In this new reality, Nolan viewed Seth as the most attractive man he had ever seen. Numerous memories of Nolan eagerly pleasuring or being pleasured by Seth filled both of their minds, so much so that it didn’t take long before both men were instantly sporting throbbing boners as they continued to make small talk and look at each other. 

“Hey bro,” Seth said with a mischievous grin, “how about you come over here and take care of your roomie?” 

Upon hearing such an appealing concept, Nolan couldn’t resist flashing a dopey grin before eagerly standing up and making his way over to his roommate. As Seth reached out his hands and began to rub along the ginger’s ripped abs and pecs, Nolan looked down and bit his lip as he reveled in the man’s touch. Although he was most certainly no fag, Nolan couldn’t deny that he enjoyed spending such intimate time with Seth. Luckily, Seth said “no homo” before every time they interacted, so Nolan’s conscience was cleared from any inner torment as he remained blissfully content with his status as a womanizing heterosexual. 

In fact as Seth stood up and unzipped his pants, that sacred mantra was once again repeated as he allowed his underwear and pants to fall to his ankles and reveal his average-sized cock to Nolan. Before Nolan even had time to respond, Seth reached up towards the man’s head and firmly gripped into the man’s curly ginger locks. “Be a good boy and take care of me first,” Seth sensually demanded, giving Nolan a slight wink as he pushed him down to his knees to let him immediately get to work. Although it would only take a few minutes before Seth came and shot his load down Nolan’s overeager throat, the moment would feel like an eternity for Seth as he tried to savor every second. To his relief though, this wasn’t all of the fun that the two of them would have though, because as soon as they cleaned up they’d be dressing up and heading out to another college party before finding some gorgeous cheerleaders for each of them to bring back to the dorm and fuck. Then from every day after this until their graduation in the next few years, this process would continue for Seth and his brand new switch-hitter…

Tallulah Bankhead - The Wild Child

Tallulah Brockman Bankhead (born in Huntsville, Alabama on January 31, 1902) was an American actress, primarily of the stage, but has also appeared in several prominent films, including an award-winning performance in Alfred Hitchcock's Lifeboat (1944). Known as "The Wild Child," her penchant for living life on her own terms, defying societal conventions and hard partying sometimes preceded her talent.

Bankhead was a member of the Bankhead and Brockman family, a prominent Alabama Democratic political family with Irish roots. Her grandfather and her uncle were U.S. senators, and her father was Speaker of the House of Representatives. She was mostly raised in the family estate named "Sunset" in Jasper, Alabama.

Thus, at 15, she submitted her photo to Picture Play, which was conducting a contest, and was awarded a trip to New York plus a movie part based on their photographs. She soon realized her place was on stage rather than screen. After several years in Broadway, Bankhead moved to London, where she found fame and critical acclaim in the West End.

Because of her continued success, she was able to command 10 percent of the gross of the play and was billed larger than any other actor in the cast. She also continued to appear in a handful of films, TV shows, and radio shows. Though Tallulah Bankhead's career slowed in the mid-1950s, she never faded from the public eye.

A long time smoker, she died in Manhattan at age 66 due to pleural double pneumonia.

Tadaima, Okaeri Episode Six Review :)

Photo Credit: Tadaima, Okaeri Promotional Twitter Account

A gutsy reality-check soup chicken

This episode served to clarify most of Masaki's history. I have to be quite frank, I really did not think that Masaki had a troubling or traumatic childhood or upbringing. During the final minutes of episode five, when Masaki invited Hiromu to meet/visit Ma-chan's uncle, I thought it was just like another troublesome boring trip you take to your relatives, ya know? Boy, was I wrong.

I know I don't do this for my recap essay for Tadaima, Okaeri, however I think I need to use my BL review practice for this episode, so here it goes, I have two themes I want to talk about for this episode.

Masaki's Childhood

Let me first outright say, What in Sweet Home Alabama was happening that Ma-chan was engaged to Kazuhiko Ogiwara? Kazu-chan is Ma-chan's cousin.

Now that's out of the way. This was my understanding before I watched this episode: a). Ma-chan was born as an omega from beta heterosexual parents, b). Ma-chan was always pitied by anyone who encountered him when he was a kid because of his status as an omega. c). Ma-chan's parents are utterly apologetic to the extent that they often apologize to Ma-chan for letting him be born as an omega.

I never really processed that Masaki's childhood was painful, excruciating, to him.

I think what I could infer from the episode was that my B point - to what extent Ma-chan's parents are willing to protect their son - goes way beyond just maybe making Masaki a bubble boy 2.0. It even went as far as practically imprisoning Masaki.

During the confrontation scene between Kazu-chan and Masaki, Kazuhiko said,

"You haven't come home once, since the stuff with your parents?"

I was confused. Did Masaki have a huge falling-out scene with his parents? But then I remembered the conversation between Masaki and Yuki about what happened between Masaki and his parents. It seemed that Masaki just jetted out of his old folks' house to attend university and get his degree. What was his parents' plan for Masaki exactly? I don't quite understand what omegas are supposed to do in the omegaverse, but it's weird that the parents would just let Masaki be a house mouse or something? Why would they predestine omega people like that? It's still puzzling and I need to understand more about omegaverse.

At first, I was confused as to what the point of Kazu-chan's meeting with Hiromu and Masaki was. Then, when Kazu-chan stormed out of the room and berated Masaki, I got even more confused. Bro, did you really fall that hard for Masaki that you got this mad that he has a husband and a family? I really doubt that Kazu-chan even liked Masaki because Ma-chan kept saying about how Kazuhiko was that mean to Masaki. However, Kazuhiko's rant and Hiromu's late, in my opinion, defense of Masaki really crystallized the tension between Kazu-chan, Masaki's parents-family, and Masaki.

Masaki's parents-family's overprotective behaviors against Masaki were done to protect Masaki. They believed that Masaki was really frail to the point that the whole world was going to harm him. They designated Kazuhiko as Masaki's protector. Hence, during Kazu-chan's rant, he kept insisting, on something to the effect of

"You chose to live in the hostile world, and then you came back with [mate] mark..."

Hiromu's counter-argument about how Masaki's parents-family overemphasis on Masaki's status is the thing that harmed Masaki the most.

I really love that Yuki was ready to throw some hands during the rant haha.

It still confused me as to why omegas are discriminated against or prejudged to that extent. However, I understand the idea of being underestimated or left - laughed - out of the equation just because of your status, because of the lack of your supposed destined talents.

I'm sending all my love to Masaki, love you boo ^^

Mating in the Omegaverse

I only have read three omegaverse mangas to completion, my favorite one, The Marriage of a Doting Alpha and a Stray Omega I think explained it well about this theme. When Goro and Ichi got married, Ichi was trying his best to put the idea of "mating" away from his head because he thought that Goro only married him for Ichi's protection. They seemed to picture being mates as something more permanent and profound compared to being married. I remember a scene in which Ichi met one of his unhoused acquaintances? and she noticed the absence of a mating mark on the lower neck part of Ichi's body. Of course, in the end, Ichi and Goro eventually became mates.

I think I really need to understand the mechanism more. Masaki and Hiromu are mates, great for them. I need to know how Masaki and Hiromu got to the point of agreeing to become mates. I frankly want to see how the action of becoming mates is. How can it leave a very distinct lasting mark?

It was such a great reality-check episode for me. Watch it yall :D

Days at the Morisaki Bookshop, by Satoshi Yagisawa

Genre: Contemporary fiction

Takako has never liked reading. That's why, after a romantic let-down, she isn't too thrilled about moving into the family's bookshop with her excentric uncle. In Jimbocho, a bookworm's dream, she hopes to mend her broken heart in peace, and, maybe, start anew.

A cosy story about connecting with people you kow and people you don't. There is a sequel, but I did enjoy this book more as a stand-alone.

The adventures of Amina al-Sirafi, by Shannon Chakraborty

Genre: Fantasy, historical fiction

Amina al-Sirafi repeats time and time again how she doesn't miss her old life. After all, she says, she's too old to cross the Indian Ocean as she used to, and she made too many enemies along the way as one of the most notorious pirates of her time. But when she's presented with an offer regarding her old crewmate, how could she say no?

This book reminded me of the stories I used to read when I was little, and even though I'm not too familiar with the tradition that inspired it, I never felt lost while reading.

TW: Death, general bigotry, violence

The Blackwater saga, by Michael McDowell

Genre: Horror, southern gothic, hostorical fiction (ish)

A novel in six installments that follows the lives of the Caskeys for 50 years, with a supernatural twist. It all starts when a flood devastates the small town of Perdido, in Alabama. As Oscar and Bray try to find someone in the ruins of their hometown, they come across Ellinor, a young woman who has been trapped for several days in one of the rooms of the hotel. Or so she says.

I'm using the spanish covers because they are too beautiful not too. It had been a while since I've been so inmersed in a series like this. I don't even know what can I say that won't spoil anything.

TW: Death, rape, body horror

She who became the sun, by Shelley Parker-Chan

Genre: Fantasy, historical fiction

With the birth of their son Chongba, the Zhu family is promised a brilliant life for him. They are mystified by his fate, the likes of which they only heard in legends. They aren't surprised, though, when they are told that their daughter is as unremarkable as any other girl. Which they ignore is her strong will and her desire to survive anything in her path, including taking a fake identity to make her own fate.

A dark and brutal story about desperate people doing everything in their power to see the next day. This was sold to me as a YA cute empowerment book; it is not. It's a war story about complicated and complex people.

TW: Death, violence, sexual content, dysphoria.

The great swindle, by Pierre Lemaitre

Genre: Historical fiction

It's only a few days until the World Word I comes to an end, both side know it. That's why the attack planned by the lieutenant Pradelle is so surprising. Luckily for Albert Maillard, another man saves his life during the offensive, but the awful consequences of it will make him feel in debt with him forever. After his stay in the hospital, Édouard is left so desfigured that he refuses to meet his family again, but convinces Albert to help him to get his revenge against the french government.

A heist book set in the 1920s, basically. And the film adaptation was incredible too. Again, pretend like there is no sequel to it.

TW: Disfigurement, ableism

Bomper: *spots something unusual* Are you two dating?! Renn and Hiroto: *gasps* NOO!!! *blushing* Sec-chan: You're basically the mother and father figure of the Go-Ongers, chu. Datas and Tac: *nodding in agreement* Hiroto: What do you robots know? Them: Almost everything. Tac: Also... you two were holding hands earlier.

Rest of the Go-Ongers' reactions?

I don't think Sousuke will accept this situation... Hiroto would be his dad AND his brother in law and that's, like, weird.

Same for Miu, but's it even weirder since Hiroto would be her dad and brother, which sounds like she's from Alabama.

Saki and Hanto ship it lol. Gunpei is like... ok with it I guess lol

Didn’t Channing move to Alabama and post about it in her blog? I think her husband was from there and his family still lived there. That was a few years back though so idk.

They apparently moved to NYC after Alabama

Notable American Women: DIX, Dorothea Lynde (Apr. 4, 1802-July 18, 1887)

“...Dorothea’s childhood was unhappy, marred by the frequent absences of her improvident father and the semi-invalidism of her mother, which threw upon her the care of her two young brothers. Occasional visits to her grandparents in Boston gave her a desire for education and heightened her dissatisfaction with life in Hampden. 

When twelve years old she went to Boston to live with her now-widowed grandmother, who two years later, finding the headstrong child too great a responsibility, turned her over to a great-aunt in Worcester. Here the girl studied avidly and, though only fourteen, revealed an aptitude for teaching by opening a school for small children. She was a stern disciplinarian but appears to have made a success of her precocious educational venture.

…Though an attractive young woman with blue eyes and luxuriant, wavy brown hair, she affected the long, somber dresses, stern expressions, and severe hair arrangement then thought befitting to a schoolmistress. The resultant austerity clung to her throughout her life. One of her pupils, Mary Channing Eustis, has left a picture of her as “tall and dignified, but stooped somewhat, …very shy in her manners,” and “fond of natural history and botany. She enjoyed long rambles, always calling over attention to what was of interest in the world around us.” She particularly recalled her teacher’s “iron will from which it was hopeless to appeal”.

…One day in March 1841, however, a young Harvard divinity student asked her to teach a Sunday school class for women in the East Cambridge jail. As the thirty-nine-year-old Miss Dix set out on a cold and raw Sunday, she little realized that this was to be a turning point in her life. To her horror, she found among the drunks, vagrants, and prostitutes a number of unkempt and shivering women whose only crime was insanity. 

Their quarters were foul, bare, and unheated. The jailer’s response that “lunatics” had no sense of cold incensed her, and she brought the matter before the local court then in session. The philanthropist Samuel Gridley Howe came to her aid in a newspaper article, and despite angry denials of her charges, heat was provided for the deranged women and their quarters were renovated. More important, Dorothea Dix had found a vocation.

…As Mis Dix grasped the scope of the problems, she undertook, with Samuel Cridley Howe’s encouragement and the blessing of the aged Channing, an eighteen-month survey of every jail, almshouse, and house of correction in Massachusetts. Each day’s investigation brough new evidence of neglect and cruelty, In her notebook she recorded the shocking details of unfortunate persons “confined... in cages, closets, cellars, stalls, pens! Chained, naked, beaten with rods, and lashed into obedience.” 

…For the next three years, though plagued by illness, she covered 30,000 miles in Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Maryland, Ohio, Illinois, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennesee, North Carolina, and other states painstakingly conducting her investigations and preparing for the state legislates her now-famous “memorials”. 

Though less extensive than her earlier reports and eventually somewhat routinized, these memorials marshaled sufficient evidence of neglect and abuse to shame most legislatures into action. She sometimes remained in a state until the appropriations for new facilities had been made, and on occasion had the pleasure of selecting the site for a new hospital.

…Few women have been so identified with a single cause, and with good reason, as has Dorothea Dix with that of the mentally ill. In 1843 there were thirteen mental hospitals in the United States; by 1880, 123. She played a direct role in the founding of thirty-two state mental hospitals and was the inspiration for many more in America and throughout the world. 

Her views on the nature of mental illness reflected the state of medical knowledge in her day; while opposing the indiscriminate use of physical restraints and favoring therapeutic rather than merely custodial treatment, she displayed but slight interest in psychiatric training or research. Nevertheless, by directing her considerable skills as a publicist against primitive and obviously unwise methods, she helped lay the groundwork for advances in psychiatric diagnosis and treatment.”

[scruffyssketchbook]

am i still allowed to like the "old" canon? i know its "technically incest" but i always thought it was such cool worldbuilding, and that Pokemon don't have inheritance laws like us that would even result in a demonizing of incest

Author chan: That's fine. I also like the old canon, it's much better than the new canon I made to decanonize it, and it's still canon in the world.

It's just that.

The Alabama jokes got to me, mannnn. A girl can only take so much Alabama before they go insane, mannnnnnn
