#and they're still in the “i have to protect them; anyone is dangerous” mindset

Stolitz time:

RATING: 6/10

So, yikes... It's clear both are wrong in many aspects. Let's start with Stolas.

While it is shown by us viewers he wants a romantic relationship with Blitz, frankly he is not very good at demonstrating it. Taking considetation he did not have a very good role model in Paimon (other than showing love by flaunting luxury and ignoring his sons distress), and from his arranged marriage, he has little to no good understanding on romance almost as much as Blitz does. He was so relieved to have his ffirst friend back into his life that he was willing to do anything to keep him, including assuming that means sex. By that point they had agreement to use Grimoire as a justification for him to see Blitz. But soon he realized in time it wasn't right, but only because he felt guilty that was only reason they stayed together. He didn't take consideration of Blitz feelings at all-hence, why he was so horrified and heartbroken at realizing Blitz thought so little of him. So he puts distance between them because of this knowledge they have no further obligation to each other. BUT, he is a hypocrite in not understanding the mindset of the imp hierarchy, or even listen some of Blitz points? He was really upset over Blitz knowing someone tried to kill him, WHEN THE ENTIRE POINT OF EPISODE 2 OF HIM HIRING IMP WAS FOR PROTECTION AGAINST ANY ASSASSIN? And Stolas did have powers to typically protect himself. But yes, Blitz still should have told him, because of the possibility of Octavia also in danger being on the table. Its almost like he won't hear of Blitz feelings on the matter, or even try to understand, which is crucial to solid relationships.

Next, is Blitz. He's so full of self hatred that even Verosika knew he belonged into the hate Blitzo party. He lost lots of relationships because of his incapability to see his own worth, and how that ultimately makes him hate being vulnerable and severing ties once they get too close. He's very aware of his actions but doesn't want accountability because he has enough hatred for himself that t was easier to handle than everyone else's feelings about him. He already feels guilt about losing his family and Fizz, and why he was so relieved having at least one back in his life. He also believes that the hierarchy is unjust to imps and has seen Stolas emphasize it during their Full Moon meetings, so it is somewhat plausible why he thinks Stolas is entitled and pompous. He let his feelings get best of him during their fight and the fear of losing a ground with Stolas made him slip up. He really thinks he's all big d**k energy when in actuality he's just being a d**k in many cases. Maybe he was a different lover to Stolas than everyone else, and maybe Stolas was desperate to just have him back in his life, but Blitzo acting like he's the bad guy for being classist is rich considering he's all talk and not a generous lover and always assumes everyone is same based on categories. He's equally as classist as Stolas- he's just more verbal about it.

So yeah, it looks like they're back to square 1, or even -10. It seems like Blitzo has more growth to do and Stolas some more boyfriends to experience. I heard Vassago is a very real candidate to filling that role. I do wonder if Blitz will date anyone else in mean time- we'll just have to see what happens.

Also- slurs has become my new favorite quote for this show!!!

[wildpeachfarm]

Never thought I’d see the day Nick Deorio was fighting in the trenches with us as a drolo. It almost makes me want to reinstall twitter just for that. Almost. Mans was scarred from John Swan and he wants to be on the right side of the argument this time. He’s seen dream come with receipts so he knows. Not an expected soldier, but I’ll take him regardless.

Saw a previous anon post about how Twitter has the mindset of “being a woman means being a perfect person” and how that’s not a good mindset to have; I wholeheartedly agree with that anon.

I’m of the mindset that I will protect all women, but I will not support them. There have been people in my life that are women that have made dumb decisions and have dangerous mindsets and I’ve called them out on it continuously. However, the second they tell me they need my help, I’m there. It doesn’t matter if we haven’t talked in months, or since high school-you ask for my help, you got it. No questions asked. Because like that anon said, we are human first before we’re women and we are going to make mistakes. I want to make mistakes and have the ability to own up to them like anyone else, cause if people protect me from myself, I’ll be a very misguided and disillusioned person.

I also think that mindset stems from many people not knowing what feminism actually is. I’ve seen on TikTok this trend of women going “I’m not a feminist” and then saying some wild ass thing like “I can wear dresses” as if that’s all feminism entails. True feminism is recognizing men and women are equal to each other and deserve to be treated as such. Equal pay, same opportunities corporate-wise, same options to be SAHM or SAHDs, etc. That also means women can be horrible people just as much as men, and they deserve to be held accountable for it.

Twitter thinks women need protecting and we can do no wrong and that’s absolutely dangerous. And I think thats part of why Caiti responded the way she did in her final stream, cause she’s been misguided to believe that she can do no wrong as a woman, hence the angry reaction to people pointing out her inconsistencies. And I feel for her, cause she’s young, and it seems like shes still easily impressionable, which is the perfect combination for Twitter to take over her thinking. I hope she takes a long, indefinite break from the internet and goes to see adults who aren’t chronically online to help her, cause she’s a very unstable person.

Women aren’t perfect, and we shouldn’t be protected from ourselves. But if one of us is in genuine need of help, we rally as a people to be there; that’s the best part of being a woman-the sisterhood and that gets taken away the more people develop the “women are perfect and need to be protected” mindset.

-L :)

oooh very good additions!

One of the worst things to ever happen to the internet is to create a space for words to be watered down to the point that people have completely missed the meaning of the original word and now it's something different.

Which leads people to speak damaging rhetoric in the name of something they /think/ they're representing properly when thats just not the case. (Unfortunately this is how we get radfems and terf rhetoric under "feminism" according to some people on the internet)

[ca-suffit]

Virginia's black anon has to be anon because we all know the only accounts who associate with her already and it's only 3 at most 😂 I guess nobody can make fake accounts when it's supposed to be for a black fan they don't hate.

There have been some racists comments floating around, but I never saw that from your blog.

Get your reading glasses then girl.

Your opinions have been a reflection of Louis as a character and not about Jacob as a black man.

This is where this nonny comment reads white as hell because what the fuck does this even mean? These are not separate things, baby. Louis is still a black man too! That's your whole fucking problem.

You can defend Jacob all day and say you love black people all day and still say the most antiblack shit ever in the next breath. You've been being told this and instead of listening, you and others keep targeting black fans as some kind of ignorant, illiterate mob out to get you. Idek why you started doing this but THAT is the antiblack part. It's not all just about claiming you "accept" this or that. You also have to actually DO THAT PART. Now it's clear why you think black fans gently teasing Jacob's hair is the real racism while you call Louis, Claudia, and Armand liars and manipulators solely to protect the character of Lestat (the REAL victim to you) and don't see a problem with it. This is why the white fandom mindset is dumb and dangerous af because it leads to stripping race from everything and defaulting to whiteness. This is why your insistence on "the books!!!" is bullshit and nobody cares, because the books are about white people and you're acting like that's still what this is when it's not! And when anyone says otherwise you make a big dramatic show of how you're being unfairly attacked.

IWTV fandom needs a scapegoat and that will be me so here’s my controversial takes..

And here's Neil's stupid ass once again missing the point of anything and still going on about fictional shit instead of reflecting on her antiblackness as well (why does everyone talk like a cartoon villain too lol). You love being the victim and changing topics instead of directly addressing anything. You all are the ones always saying you're such big critical thinkers, yet someone comes and spells it out real slow for you over and over and you still miss the point. This is why nobody is afraid of you or even takes you seriously, you're so fucking constantly stupid.

-way WAYYYY before the show I had a theory for the book that Louis killed Paul but now I’m afraid to talk about it even though it would make so much sense to him refusing to be labeled as a “killer”

Why are you so afraid to talk about it? Afraid the big, mean black fans might call you racist? If you have things to say, why don't you say them? Stop being such a baby about it. It's always the loudest mouths who want to say "I'm so scared u guys" over things that anyone else could just talk about. You're afraid to be called a racist because you only think about yourself and have nothing to really say after all.

You're the only ones who constantly move goalposts when it comes to talking about Louis. You make up this intentionally manipulative shit to say it's others (really just black fans tbh) who strip away Louis as a full character by not wanting him labeled as a liar or "bad person" but then you go around slinging this horseshit. If you think he killed Paul then write your big essay why. Why are you holding back now because they're black, you giant ass coward? Say it if you're gonna say it. This half assed ready-to-go-victim shit is ugly. I thought you were a tough book reader who could handle big topics. Pick a side already, asshole.

Request: I may be just too late, so if so that's okie just ignore this! But can I request headcanon's for yan Habana and Maki (separate) from Fire Force?

Keep up the good work!

I'm pretty sure you meant Hibana, right?

Maki Oze

🪄Despite having earned herself the nickname "Witch Queen" and her muscular physique, Maki is quite romantic at heart. She's very sweet towards her darling and dedicates a lot of time to them when she isn't working. She appears to be quite happy and she most certainly is, the problem is that as soon as she's left alone the guilt ambushes her. For you see, Maki knows that at least some of her thoughts regarding you are morally not correct and it makes her self-conscious at times. It's easy to forget such gnawing thoughts when she's constantly on cloud nine when around you but after that happiness fades away and she's left alone with her thoughts, she can't help but feel bad. The girl certainly isn't someone to act on impulses and darker instincts and she knows that much about herself too. Those new sides of her don't fail to frighten her at least a bit though.

🪄Considering the world this is playing in, Maki is also definitely on a more protective side. Infernals might appear randomly everywhere without any warning. When she thinks about you getting caught up in such an accident, she can't help but feel her heart drop a bit. Working as a Fire Soldier also means that she has seen a lot of things which would easily disturb the unknown person deeply. Maki can definitely also be more clingy when she has the time and the luxury to do so. She works obviously still as hard and dedicated as before since she knows that the wellbeing of people is part of her responsibility. You can bet that as soon as she has the chance though, she will go to you and stay with you. Going back to the whole romantic aspect of her, it definitely shows when you two spend time together and she shows her more feminine side.

🪄She's showing a very courteous side whenever you introduce her to someone close to you since she wants to make a good impression on them. Most people who she meets for the first time are in general treated with her courtesy but Maki can also get quite angry when someone triggers her. That's not to say that she can't handle a bit of jealousy but one shouldn't push her limit either. I do feel like she's considerate and not someone who is madly jealous and lets that feeling control her action. She's in most cases just a bit mor firm to remind someone what the relationship between you two is. If someone acts mature and respects that, she is very much willing to forget about it. What really raises her blood pressure though are the arrogant people who think they can flirt with anyone no matter if they're taken or not. When she's angered, most would be scared.

🪄She's a skilled fighter and has very good control over her ability which would potentially make her quite fearsome but she has a kind heart. Her sometimes more protective tendencies usually lead her to make sure that you won't get too much involved in her job since it includes dangerous missions and people. If she is pushed, she will fight though and that with more fierceness than what others are used to from her. Her protective side will lead her in certain scenarios to be more violent and if she gets really angry, she lets go of her consideration for a while and will be rather violent to fight against anything and anyone who poses a threat to you.

🪄Frankly spoken, Maki doesn't strike me as someone who would abduct her own darling. Her morals are playing a huge part in it too and it's not like her comrades wouldn't find out either if she would ever do such a thing. Thinking about saddening you and causing you to hate her and disappointing her own teammates and family truly isn't something Maki thinks she would be able to handle. I have a distinct feeling that in times of danger she might call her family and ask them if her darling can stay with them until the risk is over. She wouldn't even resort to an abduction if her darling would leave her. What Maki will do in such a case is stalk her darling and continue to protect them. It's not like she has given up hope completely either.

🪄She's a bit nervous when she introduces her darling to her family since she's worried that they might give you the impression that they're judging you. Her parents and her brother certainly are a bit sceptic since Maki is loved within the family but when they notice how happy she is and that you care for her too, they accept you. Others shouldn't let themselves fooled by her sweet exterior she shows you though because the woman can turn extremely scary if someone insults her darling since she sees red. If you shouldn't be a Fire Soldier and for that not possess any fire abilitites, she'll gladly entertain you with her own skills by creating fire creatures although she will still be careful so that you won't burn yourself accidentally.

Hibana

💐Hibana has pretty much a princess-complex of sorts and sees herself due to her position as captain above others, especially those working in her own squad. So I wish you good luck with this woman because she's as entitled as she is delusional when it comes to you. She's highly arrogant and overly confident in her looks so she believes that you will succumb to her charm too, will love her too. She's pretty much already acting all the time like you have a massive crush on her and are just too shy and insecure to show it. The level of delusion is dangerous because that only means that you won't get through her, no matter what you say or do. She always twists it inside her head to her own liking. Rejecting and avoiding her for too long isn't advisable since the woman goes after you with an infatuated zeal.

💐She won't shy away to use her position to manipulate you either if you try to separate yourself from the insane woman. She'll also use everything she has to find out as much as she can about you, indifferent to the fact that some things aren't for her to know. She's seeking out knowledge about Infernals and now also about you. Denying her something never ends will since she ends up forcing everything out if she has to. Her obsession is fearsome due to the sheer extent of it as she wants to know absolutely everything about you and will use what she has gathered to "court" you even more, or in others words put, to just leave you with no choice but to stay with her. She's going to be the one to take the wheel in this relationship too as she thinks that it's natural, especially if you're only a citizen and for that wouldn't know possibly as much as she does.

💐She shouldn't have any reason to be jealous and in most cases it's probably more the case that people are jealous of you when they see you with Hibana. She's undeniably a beauty and knows this too, she flaunts it in front of you all the time after all. That's specifically why she's going to deny all claims that she's one to be easily jealous because she feels like she has no reason to be. You know better though about her flaring streak of jealousy. The woman wants your attention pretty much all the time and it will be very hard for her to understand why you would want to spend time with someone else rather than him. She judges the people around you rather harshly because none of them are someone she would deem as special, it's not like she would ever see someone as good enough. She's acting like the proudest peacock in history too, a somewhat bratty and entitled one though.

💐She's manipulated her way through life quite often, she even exchanged information on her research to get her the position she's in today. Despite her princess-complex, Hibana is still a scientist and has shown herself to be a very intelligent tactician too. There are not many qualms she seems to have to use all of her influence to rid herself of someone that stands in the way of her and her darling. She's resolved to become a demon herself after all in order to get revenge on what was done to the sister in the Holy Sol Temple, believes that she has to fight evil with evil. That and her very apparent sadistic streak make her anything but pleasant if someone has officially irked her. She won't go as far as killing though as she doesn't see herself as a barbarian.

💐She keeps you by her side all the time, we've already talked about how she is the one with dominance and control in the relationship after all. The men working under her worship her so even if they're envy of your position as Hibana's lover, they know exactly what Hibana would do to them if she were to ever find out that they talk bad about you behind her back. When she's busy, a few of them always keep an eye on you. Whenever she isn't busy though, she has you tagging along wherever she goes. She's very clingy in that aspect as she won't let you out of her sight at all. Since she is so smothering, her darling barely gets any time alone at all but telling her that will only further motivate her. It's not like you don't want her attention and affection after all, you're just shy~

💐Trying wo wiggle somehow free from her very tight grip on you won't work as she's too obsessed and infatuated to let that happen. You shouldn't underestimate her connection and resources either since she has a considerable lot of influence. Her ire is most of the time not directed to you since her delusions keep her most of the time from seeing you as the true culprit. That said though, when she lashes out on you it will be anything but pleasant for you since she won't hold back with her words at all and target your insecurities specifically. The majority of her time, she rather spends gushing over you and doting on you although she expects to be worshipped for the way she treats you so well. She loves to be praised and worshipped, do that, set her in a good mood and she's ready to fulfill you a favor or two.

After being disgusted for two days from the tags, I'm reblogging this again to say it does not fucking matter if you personally think the Punisher would hate cops. It doesn't matter his history or lore—extremist have taken well-known, innocent symbols for decades and turnt it to hate symbols. From the runic alphabet, common memes (Pepe) and hand gestures (‘okay’ gesture), to—most famously—the swastika which still holds significance in Indian religions (Wikipedia, ADL). Extremists and fascists appropriate things all the time, it's what they do. It sucks and context is important, especially for appropriated culture symbols, but if you only care or are outraged this happens when its about something you personally like or are defensive over—you are part of the problem. You don't care that extremists do this, you care that it happened to something that relates to you. But that is a problem you need to work on privately instead of taking focus away from what this post should be about because, again, it doesn't matter if you think a character would hate cops.

The point of this post is that the Punisher logo has been commonly used by police and military while killing and terrorizing people for over 20 years and that a cop was wearing an extremist patch and isn't fired. He had to remove the patch but it doesn't change his mindset or views. I literally linked sources for that in the above addition to make it easier to educate yourself if you were unfamiliar with the logo's use—there's no reason why anyone should had reblogged this without reading them and talking about how the Punisher isn't originally a hate symbol. It has been, and still is, used as a hate symbol—rather you agree it should or shouldn't be. It doesn't matter a single bit if you think that character would disapprove of it—he's a fictional character. He doesn't exist, your focus shouldn't be on protecting his ‘legacy’ when seeing a cop wearing this. This is about people in power wearing hate symbols and not getting reprimanded and fired for it. This is about real life people that are in danger and being killed instead.

If you want to whine about comics or them misusing the Punisher logo, do it on a separate post instead of turning something so horrific into ‘fandom drama’ or discourse. Instead, take action in a way that helps:

Donate.

E-Sims for Gaza, Tumblr post guide (check tags for referral codes!)

UNRWA

Palestinian Children's Relief Fund

Google Drive sheet from Operation Olive Branch to directly help Palestinian's GoFundMe's.

Tumblr post with multiple donation links

Protest. There's emergency protests happening on more short notice (time is a privilege Palestinians aren't being given) AND ones set out so you can prepare. Look online in different spaces (from various social medias to university websites) and in person for local solidarity groups. If you can't find any, plan one! Some quick links:

USCPR (US based)

PSC (UK based)

Code Pink (international)

Tumblr post with a thread of (international) protests that has taken place for Rafah. While most have already taken place, they're a good way to find accounts that organize protests so you can be prepared for the next one.

Boycott. (Make sure to email and send a complaint that you are withholding your business due to their compliance in the genocide against Palestinians!)

BDS Movement offical boycott list

FOA article specifically about boycotting Israeli dates, especially for Ramadan.

Pressure. Put pressure the Vancouver police for not firing the cop and put pressure on your local government and congress—demand a ceasefire now and for the ongoing genocide to be ended. Your tax dollars are being used to fund a genocide and you should be furious over it.

VPD website. File a complaint AND be vocal online, they have links to their social medias. More voices means more attention, don't let them sweep it under the rug!

USCPR for US residents to call congress and demand a ceasefire

Ceasefire website, which has resources to find your congress or Canadian/UK MP's to email, fax, and call them!

Rep. Rashida Tlaib's two petitions: One to request Biden to suspend military aid to Israel, the other to prohibit members of Congress and their families from profiting from any company that works for the military.

YouCount for Canadians to find their local representatives & LeadNow campaign to call for a ceasefire. They also have one to stop supplying Isreal's military!

Tumblr masterpost! Lots of information in this one—including local campaigns and petitions, fax campaigns, letters to send, numbers to text and call, etc.

Educate. Be on the lookout for increases of hate crimes and familiarize yourself with hate symbols and dog whistles because ignorance is dangerous. Read about Palestinian culture and joy and history, and don't turn away and ignore their suffering. Be wary of propaganda and stay informed on the genocide and bombing of Palestine.

Al Jazeera (news)

MiddleEastEye (news)

Global Project Against Hate, ADL (Databank for different hate symbols)

North Gaza Updates, a Tumblr that shares many posts to Palestinian journalists and make it easy to find the accounts on Instagram. Wikipedia states that (as of January 30th, 2024) at least 85 journalists have been killed, 78 being Palestinian, 4 Israeli, and 3 Lebanese. (Link 1, link 2 for list of their names). CPJ states (most recently from 15 hours ago) that 88 have been murdered (link). Journalists and their families are targeted and face arrests, death, threats, and censorship constantly. The very least you can do is pay attention to what they're being murdered over.

Free ebooks: Versobooks, Poems from Palestine via The Baffler, Haymarket Books, Nakba and Survival. All those are free. There's also reading lists from decolonizepalestine, Versobooks, Haymarket Books, and multiple Tumblr and Twitter posts with different literature (including this one). If they're not free, they're low priced or easy to find online.

There's multiple archive sites, piracy sites, and places to find more resources. If you can't find something, dm me and I'll try to find it for you. There's also independent sites and sites made to honor the beautiful Palestinian culture—personally been recently admiring the tatreez patterns here! (they also have a lot of references if you would like to read more on Palestinian embroidery, and a history of it by handmadepalestine is here)

Community. Both online and in person—stand up against people using this as an excuse to be antisemitic or anti-Palestinian and be there for the people in your community. Don't trust cops, the police patch on their chest is a hate symbol enough, and watch each other's backs.

These links are barely a chip off the iceberg in how many things you can do that actually helps people instead. If you can't physically protest, you can campaign online and demand better from your congress. You can read and listen, you can make art, you can do commissions for proof of donation to one of many Palestinian charities. You have a voice, please please please use it for something useful instead of arguing over a fucking comic book character.

(taken from @/sarahofmagdalene on instagram.)

A NOTE TO THOSE WHO MAY BE PARTICIPATING IN PRO PALESTINE ACTIONS IN VANCOUVER.

Please, even if you don’t live in Vancouver, reblog to spread awareness. The canadian media isn’t covering the protests, let alone the hostility protesters face, so we can only rely on each other to get news like this around!

[cooking-with-hailstones]

The easiest sucker to fool seems to be the people who trusted that man and humanized him to begin with… Not the people who are smart enough to keep an eye out for monsters that harm children and RIGHTFULLY dehumanize those monsters…. You have it backwards, anyone with a brain knows that men like that are predators and deserve to be dehumanized. It’s y’all’s dumb mindset that ✨everyone deserves humanity✨ sparkly bullshit that protected and enabled that predator from your neighborhood. Be real.

Look I'm gonna answer this honestly and then block you because I don't need this energy.

This man was there for my family during one of the most difficult times in our lives. He offered to help take care of our pets. He wrote a reference letter for my sibling that got them into their dream job. There was nothing - I repeat, absolutely fucking nothing - that indicated that there was anything untoward.

This man was like a second uncle to everyone in our community. We are still reeling from the trauma of being groomed to be his allies. Because did you know that predators groom their allies as well as their victims? They earn their trust, make themselves indispensable. They're there for you when no one else is. They present themselves as great people who do great work.

My point is - this man is a human being. He EARNED our trust. And we only found out much later that our trust had been predicated on a lie.

There is no such thing as a monster. There is no category of person that you can point to and say "that kind of person is dangerous".

Because that rhetoric always harms marginalized people. Queer people. Jewish people. Muslim people. Black people. Trans people. Anyone who is othered and dehumanized. How are you going to be able to recognize harm?

If only monsters are able to be harmful, then what about your boyfriend? He's a good guy!

What about your sister in law? She didn't MEAN it!

What about your childhood best friend! Oh come on do you seriously think they would do that?

You need to recognize that ANYONE is able to commit violence and harm. And if you're insistent that only monsters are able to commit harm, how will you recognize it in the people you love and care about?

Because I didn't know. I was a fucking child.

[laverrez]

it's so interesting to look back at the past few years and how drastically ive changed. at the beginning of covid, i was in college and heavily under the grip of my alt-right qanon family. i was openly trans and queer at school, but my opinions on politics and gun control and the upcoming election and covid and police- they were all bad, terrible reflections of how incredibly carefully they cultivated my experience of media and discouraged any exploration i might have wanted to do. i couldnt for the life of me understand why i was having an impossible time connecting and socialising with other queers attending my college, while wearing one of those stupid copaganda blue stripe flag masks, not to mention the fact i'd take it off the moment i stepped outside regardless of proximity to others.

i was so ridiculously blind to how awful that was. my mindset was twisted to think masks were horrible dangerous things because my mother refused to wear one and wouldnt let me, either- i thought it made sense to avoid covering my face because it stunted my breathing, which is already difficult because of asthma. i thought the stupid pro-cop things were fine because my mom had been a cop, and when i was a small pale blonde southern baptist child, i had experiences where cops were directly beneficial in making sure i was safe, or so it seemed. i thought four more years of trump couldnt be too bad when the alternative was a bad that was unknown. i thought everyone (without a history of violence or unstable mental conditions) should have a gun for their own protection, and that violent protests were harmful to their causes.

all of those past beliefs make me want to cringe backwards because they're so horrendously bad and hollow even in their 'defenses' that i always held ready. i dont truly blame myself for them, because it was beyond unsafe for me to have any other opinions in the boondocks of the appalachian mountains. especially at home, when my family was abusive and any extra reason to make them question me couldve spelled any number of harm.

my intention isnt to defend myself for being pickme. i can acknowledge there were ways to be silently educated and not spread harm and misinformation, or bolster a lot of the idiots that i did in their own harmful beliefs. i shouldve been, but i have an incredible toughness at keeping my mouth shut when i form strong values, and that's exactly what's happened as ive become more educated. im not tolerant of the hate and the stupidity anymore, and existing in that state while at home wouldve been dangerous, so i chose my priorities while having a vague awareness that i was doing something wrong without fully knowing why.

i regret that, genuinely. hindsight tells me i only hurt myself further by being cowardly, and that i caused harm to my community, too. it's incredibly liberating now, as an adult, to be able to stay educated (as i possibly can, without further blowing my mental health to shreds). to be able to be vocal about how wrong i was, and how wrong so many things are right now. to be able to feel indignant and angry at everything that's happening to people all across the states, across a country i was always told to be proud of and used to want to defend, but now cannot see a single thing good enough to balance even a sliver of all the bad. to be able to do good where i can to try to fix what harm i caused. to just do good for the sake of helping people that are hurt by this horrible government that's stomping on us.

i have come a long way, but i still have a long way to go. some of the progress is new, very new- but im doing my best to educate myself on the fact that ALL cops *ARE* bad, regardless, that the only reason anyone would need a gun for safety in the first place is because our country is so unbelievably unsafe for anyone who isnt an allocishet white man, and that violent protests are the only way to get anything done and have historically been what leads to positive change. im finding myself more and more passionate about these things all the time, and im so glad that im able to watch the people around me and learn from them. im thankful for the people who have been patient with me. i look forward for all the progress im to make in the future.

[greycappedjester]

So I’ve been making my way through the hq@hw series again and I was curious about some of the political stances. Per my understanding, the GHOST’s original actions were politics based right? And even up to the very end, they were mostly winning. Why was Kuroo’s dad on the light side? He doesn’t seem like the type of person to actually care about muggleborns (or really anyone but himself). If the other side was winning and you didn’t have any moral opposition wouldn’t you try and gain *their* favor?

What is Kenma’s family’s relative status since Kuroo’s dad seemed to show interest in him?

Yeah, I wanted to base the Ghost's origin off of how a lot of extremist groups normally start--that is, extreme isolationist policies and nationalism to the point of zenophobia.

One of the things I never really got about the original Harry Potter books is why anyone would want to join Voldemort? I mean as a leader he's terribly abusive to his followers (who are supposed to be prideful purebloods) and has an unabashedly himself-first mindset. For Ichiro and Hisashi, I wanted their motivations to start out pretty pure and then spiral out into darkness. Ichiro's original motivation is to protect the magical world (the first home he's had) from the Muggle world which was (in his time) being ravaged heavily by a World War and advanced long-range weaponry that wizads would have trouble combating. Add in his the bullying and osrtracism he and his brother faced means that Ichiro has strong motivations for wanting to protect his new home. Hisashi meanwhile wants to stand by his friend, whatever that friend needs. Pure motives that when moved to extremist extents caused devestation.

But the original argument and the Ghost's literal acronomym (Grand and Honorable Order of Secrecy and Tradition) is all about upholding the traditional wizarding society from a new culture (muggleborns) coming in...which has a much nicer sounding argument than what it turned into.

With that, and for the war, it wasn't necessarily that the majority of witches and wizards were fighting for or aganist the Ghosts. In a way, it was worse. By and large, the majority of the wizarding world was neutral. Did they agree wholeheartedly with the Ghost's views? No. But they also knew that if they fought the Ghosts that their lives and their families lives were in danger. It's much easier then to stay quiet then willingly draw a target on thir backs to protect others. As always in facist regimes, two of the biggest allies are silence and fear.

Anyway, for Kuroo's father, I wanted to make a point that even if someone fought for the "right" side, it doesn't necessarily make them a good person. The Traditionalists (which the Ghost party sprouted from as a radical branch) and the Light side faction of the Wizarding political world still existed before the war and after the war. The Kuroo family was traditionally part of the Light side so Kuroo's father was, too, even if he didn't fight in the war and likely only supported the Light side with minimal albeit strategic efforts. Essentially, enough to take credit after but not enough to be outright targetd. Political factions are difficult, not all members agree with all positions. Even if the Ghosts did win, Kuroo's father could probably appeal as a moderate--especially with how many people were neutral in the fight.

Kenma's family are foreign wizards with both of his parents being researchers. They both moved there after the war. They're well respected for their minds rather than any political affiliation. Plus, any family with a metamorphamagus gene is seen as particularly gifted (even if both of his parents only have the trait as a recessive gene). Much like legilimens (like Kuroo's mother and Kuroo himself). After all, political status can be gained, gentic skills in a bloodline cannot. Kuroo's father is all about the family reputation/bloodline, just in a far different way than the blood purity (no muggles) allowed of the pureblood extremists.

Thanks for the ask!

Take, for example, White AutDHD Girls, a big stereotype right now of a subgroup of disabled people who will gleefully throw other disabled people under the bus. Is it true that neurodiversity acceptance is largely limited to the most TikTok-friendly manifestations of two common disorders? Yes, to an extent - though we have to remember that said acceptance is still conditional. It is tokenistic. It offers superficial positivity, but no actual SUPPORT. This is still bad.

Is it a problem for people with different disabilities, including closely related ones such as schizophrenia, that this superficial support is used as an excuse to treat them as Doing Something Wrong/inherently anti-recovery/"that's not neurodivergence, you're just a basketcase freak"? Yes. The fact that the mainstream understanding of the word "neurodivergent" is exactly equivalent to """""""high-functioning""""""" ADHD/autism, and the fact that this misunderstanding is used to further harms against other disabled people, is true and bad.

Does that make it good to blame ableism as a construct first and foremost on the people - especially the women, because disability is seen as more natural and less ~scary~ in women due to a long history of pathologizing women's behavior as an aspect of misogyny - who are being tokenized? To call them all attention-seeking self-centered assholes who would sell out anyone More Disabled Than Them the moment you see their blue hair? Absolutely the fuck not. That's a misogynistic and ableist stereotype, NOT a class-wide truth.

Speaking of white girls, there ARE ways that racist behavior in white people is, as a broad pattern, divided by gender. In fact, this is part of WHY it's common for white feminism to turn into the kind of radfem nonsense that is anything but feminist - for the idea to warp from "as a broad pattern, men are privileged over women" (a true fact) -> "men being privileged over women is THE core oppression from which all others stem; men over women trumps ALL other axes of oppression" (yeah tell that to Emmett Till; having seen it from multiple sides INCLUDING being seen as different races depending on how much sun exposure I've had lately, I would argue in fact that the man/woman axis is typically among the FIRST to fall apart) -> "because this power differential is so great and so ingrained, it is INEVITABLE, we need female separatism to PROTECT WOMEN" -> "men are inherently dangerous and women are fragile delicate flowers who need to be protected from them at all costs" (...congrats, you've ended up right back at Boys Will Be Boys-brand patriarchy, good job). This pathway is, essentially, a mechanism to avoid confronting how gender intersects with racism, ableism, queerphobia, xenophobia, and more. This needs to be called out. Missing White Woman Syndrome - an extension of the "boys will be boys" mindset, the constant fear instilled in white men that their wives will be stolen away by some lesser evil violent man, and in white women that tells them they NEED to buy a million security devices lest a gang of 12 serial murder-rapists break into their homes on an evil whim - needs to be called for what it is.

Of course, Missing White Woman Syndrome is NOT the same thing as...acknowledging that, when all other things are equal, men will usually be granted a level of social power over women, and that includes telling people, especially but not exclusively men, some pretty fucked up shit that they're statistically likely to internalize at least some of, about what they can and should expect from women. You cannot let awareness of the dangers of Karenism turn you into some full-tilt "ugh feminism is cancer" chud. You cannot conflate actual feminist issues impacting women with that racist/xenophobic/ableist/queerphobic weaponized fragility. When you do, you HELP to make it sound like that very specific weaponized fragility doesn't exist, and complaining about it is just hating on women for no reason. White Girl Bullshit isn't pop music and makeup and fashion and fancy heavily sweetened seasonal coffees; to say it is is just fucking misogyny; White Girl Bullshit is calling the cops on a Black guy, while police brutality is THE issue dominating the news cycle, because he politely mentioned that her dog is supposed to be on a leash, or transvestigating WOC athletes.

For that matter, this kind of weaponized fragility is also something white men enact against Black men and some other MOC. It's the core of every cop's defense for shooting Black kids. Call THAT out too. The main reason it's a White Women Thing even more than it is a White Men Thing is that the pool of people white women can reliably claim victimhood against is larger and white men are more inclined to measure themselves and each other on Never Being Outmatched; white men are more likely to be ridiculed for being "victimized" by, for example, a migrant woman or a mentally ill teenager, whereas white women are more inclined to be pitied for the same claim because patriarchy casts them as poor delicate incompetent flowers in constant need of Protection, and white men as the people who need to do that Protecting.

You cannot solve this problem by mocking things women are stereotyped as liking. You cannot solve this problem by mocking women for surviving past age 25.

You similarly cannot solve assimilationism and misogyny by mocking gay men for liking makeup, or caring about getting married.

You cannot solve sexism by shitting your pants every time a Black man breathes in your general direction, nor by laughing about Male Tears every time a queer man talks about how queerphobia is an aspect of patriarchy and thus harms him.

Acknowledge the problem, attack it with surgical precision, and resist the urge to just circle it back to some old counterproductive bigoted stereotype.

Basically I'm just sick of how many people don't realize that they're doing the same thing as James Somerton.

Misogyny, ableism, lesbophobia? Don't become cute and good and progressive when you specify it's about white girls, and in fact it only makes it HARDER to discuss how white girls enact White Bullshit.

Racism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia? Not magically cute and good and progressive because you specified it's about men. Not magically cute and good to shut down discussions of how misogyny impacts marginalized men with "boo hoo male tears" either. It's a big case of "same team, asshole!"

It's not helpful to treat culturally normalized abuse as inevitable if you pin it on "straight people". It's not helpful to be homophobic as long as you specify "white cis men". It's not helpful to scream about the old ableist boogeyman of the Evil Manipulative Faker by pinning it on "white girls".

I am BEGGING more people to check themselves on these things instead of just repeating an ancient, dusty stereotype and pinning it on the most privileged subset of the group you're being biased against.

It's 11:30 at night and I have an exam tomorrow so sorry if this makes no sense but you know how I love to go all canon-based fanon on you guys so hear me out.

I think the Collector is just a funky little guy. I think that it's just a child with god powers who is dealing with a lot of trauma and issues in bad bad ways. Ok. There's two theories I really like about the Collector so here we go let's do it let's go woo. Sorry I can't put it under the cut cause I'm on mobile !

it/he/they pronouns for the Collector because I said so

First theory is my theory which is basically that the Collector has always just been some kid who had too much power. We know the titan locked him away to protect King, but we don't know why exactly the Collector was seen as dangerous. Maybe they just had the POTENTIAL to be dangerous because of their power so the titan decided he didn't want to take any risks. And, I don't think it is a topic of debate but yes the Collector is a child. The way it talks (using words like 'bully' and saying shit like 'liar liar pants on fire' are giveaways) and the way it acts, especially in relation to its trauma (more on that later) makes it obvious they're still a child with a child mindset.

So anyway the Collector has been trapped in a pocket dimension for potentially hundreds, or even thousands, of years. If I'm right about the big titan skeleton being King's dad (was that ever confirmed? If not pls ignore this bit) then it must have been a long time. Since we see the titan rotting in the dinosaur time period through the time travel pools. So anyway regardless of exactly how long it's been, it has been a long time.

The Collector is a child, and when you ignore children, they act out, because any attention is better than no attention. The Collector reads to me like a child acting out, but also more.

I think that Belos had a hand in this too, being the bastard he is, but the Collector's more murderous tendencies could easily be something they developed due to the years of solitary confinement they endured. It's enough to make anyone lose it. Even a god.

The Collector seems, overall, like a child with too much power who was left alone for too long, then picked up by someone who manipulated and used them for their own gain, while feeding them lies about the witches around them. It might have developed its murderous attitude and sinister vibe as a method for self defence. But underneath that, I see a bored, neglected kid who just wants to have fun. Unfortunately, it has a pretty messed up idea of fun. Oops.

The second theory is that the Collector created the human and magic realms and sees them as games, and is acting out like a kid who has been grounded with no x-box for several millennia. That one is also very good.

Uh yeah that's the post everybody goodnight.

Not the biggest fan of Big but still I think I will feel bad for him when he discover the love between Kinn and Porsche!

Hi!

I adore Big. The first time I heard of him I wasn't a big fan (haha get it??) Mostly cause of how his story progresses in the book, there's so much red herrings in the book about the actual villain, that we don't have time to ponder over the other ones, and I think this is what happens to Big, the way he's written has those layers but the show is going to show them through Nodt because again with the writing in KP it's hard to see or notice those layers properly but in the show you see them on the surface and below that, and you see their emotions and understand their humanity than just Porsche's perspective in the book .

My thing is now I've read the book, the relationship I have with show Big is so much more different, knowing everything and what he sees and what he's going through, knowing what most of the bodyguards are going through I can't help but feel bad for him. Hear me out, Big has been by Kinn's side since the start, he's yearned and wanted him for so long, he's protected and kept him safe, and dealt with heartbreak on his own with the mindset that Kinn was impossible to have and he wasn't worthy like the others, until Porsche shows up and completely breaks that. In the show Big sees everything happening, notice he's seen Porsche act irresponsible, he's noticed how bad of a body guard Porsche is, and he's seen how frightened Kinn gets when Porsche messes up, he's seen how much danger Porsche's actions can lead to for his boss who is always being unravelled and less smart whenever the man is around the reason is why? Why does it have to be Porsche. He'd be okay with others because he knows the pattern with Kinn by now but Porsche breaks that pattern, Kinn is unravelling and Big hates it, hates what it could mean. And he's not allowed to ponder or say those thoughts out loud, because each time he tries to question or even speak to Kinn he's silenced and muted by a look. He's just a worm underneath the main family. This is why I said knowing what most of the bodyguards have had to deal with (from Pete's side) makes me also feel bad for Big,

Once you're in you can never get out of mafia. You're stuck and the body guards are also part of this weight. Their identities don't matter, they're silenced, and forced into submission (this is something Pete comes to realise about his journey and self later on), they have no choice in the matter, they have no space to breath or be free, but most of them appreciate that, they revel in that, they are dutiful and loyal to the system because it probably saved them and helped them when no one else would (like Pete) but Big's reason from the start was his love and adoration for Kinn. Kinn complains about how he can't trust anyone but Big has been there loyal to him from the start and only for him. Big is worried about Kinn so much in that forest it makes him unravel, he can't even think straight it's up to Chan to come jolt him out of it and put him in his place. So Big cares, he cares a lot for Kinn and that's his weakness, and his biggest pain. This is what hurts him to see Kinn sacrifice his life for Porsche instead of it being the other way round, to see his boss throw him self so freely for someone that should be like he has been a worm underneath their feet :not noticed, not coddled, not listened to. And instead it's the difference.

So yes anon, Big will be heartbroken completely at what he's witnessed in the forest scene, but I bet his first thoughts would be on Kinn's safety because that's who he is. Does that mean his actions aren't wrong when leaked out of envy and frustration and confusion? No, his actions are wrong but they're human. I also want to mention Big's relationship with Ken in the show because I find it fascinating how close they are, they both have had to be by Kinn's side since the start, and Ken has had to watch Porsche also come in and cause chaos and steal his position? Ken has had to watch and know how Big feels, so I find that fascinating, because it's clear they are bonding because of their similar hatred to Porsche, but I actually think Ken ambitious and smart as he is, would hate feeling like a worm, or removed from the main role, he would be the one tempted to switch but I also think watching how Big has been treated could also be a factor because they really gave Big someone in the show who sees and understands his plight, so I'm suspicious about Ken and what choice he'd make since he also witnessed the forest scene. If Ken's is about taking back his power and Big is about breaking apart because of his envy, I'm intrigued to which one is already a mole, or becomes a mole through out. Either way it won't be easy for both of them no matter what because that hostility is growing and becoming something of it's own.

I don't know anon, my heart breaks for Big. I love Kinn and I see how much his people love him, I also get why it's so hard for him to trust others or even let them in, but I would have said that Big in the show (cause in the book there's moments where I don't pity him) was actually one of the ones that was immensely loyal to him until Porsche...

Knowing that this journey for him really is unrequited and futile I can't help but mourn for Big and his painful one sided love.

Thanks anon! Big is unlikable on the surface because we are introduced to him and his truth by his first interactions with Porsche, because Porsche is our main, and love interest to Kinn, we feel frustrated at how he's treated and we forget that Porsche in this environment gets away with a lot so far, like yes he's a victim too, but he's managed to do so much more than other bodyguards have done, and it will ruffle some feathers, and make some people question their path this whole time. For Big his path has always been Kinn, but when it's getting to painful for him to continue what can he do? His unfriendliness comes from noticing how unfair it feels that Porsche gets to be so accepted by the family in a way he and the others have strived and worked so hard to do but never were.

I used to worry before that antis and toxics will eventually make bxgs leave, but now, I think the only ones they have a chance of driving out are the hatchlings. I enjoy reading the bullshit those 🐜 and ☣️ come up with, they're really amusing and I swear the shit they come up with is better than any plot twist, but if outsiders were to read those, which side do u think the outsiders will think is... not right in the head?

I agree, Anon.

Seasoned, experienced turtles know that antis and toxics are not to be taken seriously. It is the hatchlings who we must support and protect. Not because of any 'fear of them leaving' (I'm not particularly invested one way or another in whether other turtles stick around or not), but because the things antis and toxics say and do can be hurtful to new turtles.

And while the things the antis and toxics say and do can be entertaining, I think it's best if people avoid reading - and especially avoid discussing - that BS, for reasons I discussed in detail previously.

As I keep saying, we do not need to know what awful things other people are saying about GG and DD (or about us), in order to be good fans and support them (and each other). It can actually be very dangerous to read those things, for multiple reasons.

I haven't really given much thought to what a bystander/outsider might think. Any individual's response would say more about them, their mindset and their values than it could say about us or about the antis/toxics. Everyone views things through the lens of their own personal experience and sense of morals and ethics, and that - even more than what they are observing - dictates their response.

A homophobe will think what we're doing is outrageous and disgusting, for example. A kind-hearted pacifist will think the antis are monsters. A person who knows none of the facts about GGDD but just feels uncomfortable with 'shipping real people' might be offended by turtles, whereas a fetishist might laugh at the antis. Everyone has their own point of view.

When all is said and done, I really don't think there's any value in worrying or speculating about what other people think. We can only ever do as I described above, and view things through our own personal lens. As long as what we are doing aligns with our values and is based in respect for GGDD (and a commitment to protecting them), then we know our hearts are in the right place.

I urge anyone who is new to the whole anti/toxic fan situation, or is still unsure about how to deal with them, to read this post.

[katkalis-the-fanartist]

Bro I have a idea for something what if the gold watchers agatha mama bear and emmet encounter a child (shy of the age of 8) who was originally supposed to go to heaven but because of bierce’s deal they wound up doing the dirty work for her in turn she helps them to get her family to go with her when it’s all over what would they do in your opinion?

@anqelina-blog1 Thank you! And also imma kinda answer both of these at once! Also also, it wont let me mention you for some reason so hopefully you see this. Also×3, I check notes often and usually completely, so I'm sure I dont miss questions!

In general, alright, a young child.

There aren't usually children in Malak's realm, at least not with a physical form. They've been used in rituals, yeah, but children aren't usually used as anyones pawn (I HOPE NO KIDS ARE MESSING WITH DEMONS).

Testing people that have sinned/having them earn something is different from taking an innocent person and punishing them for no reason, and generally children are pure and not subject to such punishments.

My headcanon version of Bierce wouldn't make a deal with a child (besides, they arent usually as strong and efficient as an adult, especially a desperate adult), but if she did, the reactions the first ask goes for would maybe be as follows (teen reactions will be after this):

Agatha:

She's generally a sweet demon child, polite and happy to meet others around her own physical age. She may annoy an 8 year old to play with her maybe, but she'd still overall be nice. She knows children are pure, and the thought of meeting mortal children excites her. She sees so many grown-ups and barely any beings that would like the same sort of stuff she does. Perhaps she'd also take on a sort of big sister role, even protecting the mortal child in the chance that they're in danger.

Gold Watchers:

Usually, they ignore children. Unless a child sticks out as especially worth interacting with, they assume that children are not a threat at all, have no wealth to be interested in, and not worth spending time on. Even if a young child insulted them or something, they'd probably just chuckle and go back to their business. I suppose that, if a child stole something worth value, they'd simply take it back by either acting nice or scaring them to where they drop what they have.

Mama Bear:

Mama Bear would probably attempt to take the child in as her own, caring for them as she does with her teddies. It would be risky though and she knows it, with how unpredictable some of the teddies can be sometimes. Then also, a problem with Mama's specific kind of parental mindset is that she may end up keeping the child secluded from the outside areas, which would be safer, but would limit how much social interaction they get.

With teens, all of this generally still applies with these characters, though they know teens can be more of a threat. Agatha may still try to make friends with them unless they're rude to her. Then she's gonna threaten them. It wouldn't be pretty. The watchers may taunt teens more than children, but still see them as less of a threat and not always worth the trouble unless they want to cause a good scare. Mama bear may be more strict to teens, still taking the role of a parent to them and inquiring them on their behavior, how they usually act, what they like and dislike, their eating habits, etc. May also assign them chores around the cabin.

OC territory now.

Emmet:

He'd be in shock seeing someone around 8 years old in Malak's realm, and while in general hes not too great at knowing how to care for kids, he'd still be kind to them. Maybe playing small games with them, letting them relax in a hotel room, and trying to keep them safe if there's danger around. He can get along decently with the trigger teddies, so a mortal child shouldn't be too hard to interact with, hopefully. As for teens, I suppose it just depends on the individual how well they'd get along with Emmet and how comfortable he would be around them.

Vampire Watchers:

These bastards are awful. Child or not, blood is blood, and depending on how feral and voracious a vampire watcher is, they'll still attack them. Luckily, as stated before, such young mortals aren't usually around their territory, but if one ever happens to come by, their life is definitely on the line. Usually young kids are accompanied by a stronger companion in the best scenario, but even then, the vampires are still a force to be reckoned with. Child, teen, adult, elder- all eligible game to them. Since the vampires are sort of an open thing almost where anyone can make one of their own, maybe a nice vampire exists that is kinder than others, I dunno. But in general, stay away from these monsters no matter your age.

I suppose anything else I need to add is that, if the younger mortal starts pulling some badass shit, using powers effectively, becoming a strong protagonist (or antagonist), things may grow more similar to the scenario of any adult mortal. Depends on the child I suppose. You never know what sort of potential they can be hiding. You can't always judge a mortal by their age...

[animeyanderelover]

Okay so I know this might be a strange request but like as many of the akatsuki you do. With a darling that is Kagaya sister but like acts the complete opposite. She doesn’t like fighting and rather shy and follow orders and not escape? If your willing! Please have a amazing day and hope you are staying safe!💕

I think I did something similar before, but given the fact that s/o is the opposite of Kaguya, this opens up for new possibilities. Also, why do I suddenly feel the need to write more about Zetsu?

Tw: Yandere themes, unhealthy mindset, unhealthy relationship, possssiveness, obsessiveness, manipulation, threatening, gaslightening, paranoia, delusions, stalking, mentions of kidnapping

Sister who is the opposite of Kaguya

Obito Uchiha

🔥Truth be told, this will end in a complete catastrophe because with someone as shy and submissive as his s/o, Obito's obsession escalates. He's always been the overbearingly protective and paranoid type, doesn't matter if you're quite powerful and a literal celestial woman, the sister of the mother of chakra and possess unbelievable powers yourself. But with darling hating to fight and being so adoringly shy? He feels like his heart will explode at any moment for multiple reasons and he goes into full mother hen mode.

🔥To a certain degree his fears are justified since you are not human and the dangers of you getting killed or captured and experimented on for it is in the frame of possibilities. It's a hellish world after all, his darling can't possibly trust anyone else besides him because he loves and adores s/o for who she is. Darling is just too precious for the world he lives in, but you can bet your heart and soul that he'll create a better world for them and slaughter everyone who dares threatening to touch a strand on her hair the wrong way.

Zetsu

🪴Given the history of Black Zetsu with Kaguya, he pretty much loses it as soon as he has found s/o, the sister of the one he calls his mother. This honestly leads to quick turn of events where he grows obsessed quickly and stalks on you. White Zetsu is just pulled along since the weird behavior of his other half worries him, but he just follows along and with time he starts gaining feelings as well. Here it has to be said that White Zetsu still is somewhat conflicted about his feelings and doesn't want to turn your life upside down, Black Zetsu on the other hand thinks differently.

🪴He finds himself going frenzy, ecstatic to have found Kaguya's sister who still searches for her which is why he quickly becomes completely devoted to you as much as to Kaguya. He's manipulative and cunning so he manages to convince his partner quickly into taking you somewhere more safe and isolated, Black Zetsu paranoid that he'll lose you just like Kaguya. Both halfs do share the same fondness for your shy and willing behavior though, it's refreshing since they're usually surrounded by violent people and it's so easy to keep you safe as well. White Zetsu won't be let in on this, but Black Zetsu plans to tell you who he truly is and what his goals are.

Pain

🌧️Pain finds himself extremely pleased with the development of this situation. He has a better grip of his paranoia than Obito does, but it's still there and for that fear plagues his mind as well. Granted, he wasn't exactly the most friendly person at the beginning, as the leader of Amegakure and the Akatsuki he has to be suspicious of someone like you, though he's also fascinated having the sister of the rabbit demon within his grasp. He's logical so even if he does know that you're a bashful woman who hates fighting, he will never take you lightly for it since you still possess power levels that would even cause the Akatsuki troubles.

🌧️With that in mind he still takes his good amount of advantage out of it. With s/o being someone who listens, he has much more of an easier time controlling them and keeping them "safe" which puts his mind a bit at ease since you'll listen to what he has to say. On the other hand this soft personality of yours has him growing ten times more protective. Nagato as the one who is better in exposing his feelings kind of goes crazy because your innocence is a bit too much to take, especially since he has tainted his hands with so much blood.

Konan

🤍Whilst she isn't someone to let her guard down that easily either, she won't be as hostile and intimidating upon meeting her darling for the first time. Konan is far more understanding and ready to listen, even if she as well is the slightest bit alarmed when she first learned about your origin. It's the tiniest bit painful to know that you are a person who hates fighting and prefer following the words of others rather than making your own decisions. It's kind of conflicting since her worlds and ideals are so different from yours, on the other hand she can not let you go just like that either.

🤍Her protective side experiences still a nasty boost because of this, even if she is still a chill Yandere to have. This woman just wants to protect her s/o from the violence of this world even if some could argue that she isn't exactly the perfect person to do this. She'll try her best though to keep you away from her problems, even if she'd tell you relatively soon about the plans Nagato and her have and that she is by no means a good person.

Sasori

🦂He's disgustingly possessive over his darling and the fact that they are a celestial being only adds more fuel to all of this. It's extremely hard for him to fall for someone who he didn't know before his transformation into a puppet and his initial goal was to transform you into a human puppet, knowing that he'll never find someone like you again. So he chased you down, in high spirits when thinking that he would add such a rarity to his collection with all of your hidden talents and powers. Here a certain line is still drawn from the darling because even if she hates fighting, she will defend herself and she still hasn't found a way to bring her sister back.

🦂These constant delays manage to frustrate Sasori who admires your extraterrestial beauty, only the knowledge that you are supposedly immortal and for that don't age allows him to feel better. Art is after all something eternal and that luckily applies to you. It's hard to distinguish when exactly his plain obsession transform into something akin to love and he needs a while to find out himself, but be assured that your submissive nature makes things easier now that his intention isn't to kill you and turn you into a puppet anymore.

Kisame Hoshigaki

🦈Kisame is a man who has sharper and rougher edges to him, not to mention that he does like scaring his darling. It's just that he honestly finds himself kind of flabbergasted with how harmless and extremely shy his s/o is. His appearance has always given him weird looks and a natural intimidating aura which is why he kind of sympathizes with you since you with your looks also are bound to gain more attention, though with him kidnapping you at one point that problem is quickly taken care of. Funnily enough a shy darling who won't run away is a perfect fit for him since Kisame can become desperate and love-starved with time.

🦈If his darling is willing and just gives him what he wants, he will quickly mellow out and turn softer. So you can tame him like this, though it's important to say that you shouldn't use his softness against him because that just calls for a punishment. It's kind of weird for him though when you tell him about your sister and the vast difference between her and you. Finds your attitude adorable even if he doesn't like admitting it which is why he sometimes makes you uncomfortable on purpose, he has his sadistic side after all.

Itachi Uchiha

🍡He's rarely been the type to let his emotions and his obsessive love get in the way of his rational thinking, though discovering a celestial woman who is related to Kaguya herself and falling in love with the same woman wasn't within his expectation. Itachi's life isn't a normal one so it's dangerous if people would become aware of you, so much more because you aren't even a human. So finding a safe place where you can stay without being discovered becomes all the more important for Itachi, though he knows isolation isn't something healthy.

🍡He respects his darling's decision that she hates fighting, though he still puts value and importance in the fact that she'll have to at least defend herself in an emergency. Given your powers you've inherited from birth, he does not have to worry about you being overpowered, it's just your softhearted nature that concerns him a bit. Not all people are as kind as you might think so he simply asks for you to be careful. Itachi isn't all that happy about the fact that you are so submissive either, he supports you in making your own decisions as well. Overall he still knows that he can fully trust you so you have a lot of freedom.

Deidara

💥He's a worshipper and having gotten his hands on his darling who looks simply gorgeous as hell and can't be compared to anyone because of it makes him all the more possessive and extremely happy. Differently from his fellow artist friend, he's hunting the s/o down because he loves her romantically and wants to keep her safe, he was just mesmerized when he saw her for the first time and wants to have such beauty for himself. Deidara is also one of the few who expresses daily how incredibly sweet he finds your submissive and tame personality. It's nothing short of adorable and you get lots of affection and praise from him for being such a good girl for him.

💥Despite him acting more sweet and affectionate, it's still save to say that Deidara as a Yandere can be highly disturbing since he loves bombarding everyone he views as a rival or danger and he will take you with him to show you his devotion. Obviously he doesn't complain with the fact that you don't like fighting, if all it increases his delusion that he can play the role of your savior and hero. On the other hand he tends to get slightly irritated if you were to tell him that you don't enjoy the shows he puts up for you.

Your picture has me wanting to ask, what kind of dynamics do you think Azula and Katara would have if they adopted a kid? Do you have any, like... Scenes or scenarios you picture happening with them as parents (most of the ones I picture are pretty funny tbh lol. But I like Azula/Katara banter)? Do you think Azula would push their kid as hard in training as she was or do you imagine she'll try her best to be a better parent than she had? On that line if thinking, would she be really insecure about being a good mother with the way she was raised? On the flip side, do you think Katara would withhold blood ending knowledge from their kid (assuming they're a waterbender) or would she teach it to them so they could protect themselves against it?.

I know I asked a lot there but I do really like thier pairing in post-canon lol. I'm looking forward to your reply 😁

Oooh a lot to unpack here, i like it. I hope you like it anon!

Azula and Katara’s dynamic would be Azula would be more lenient and letting things go than Katara. For example, if their kid gets in a small fight. Katara would be the one to ask all types of questions but mostly yell out of frustration while Azula would ask if the child won and smirk when she hears that her kid did win. She then manages to calm Katara down and just give her kid a small talk about self-defense and the usage of violence at appropriate times. Without Katara and her kid knowing she threatened the kid’s parents. Since both parents are protective and strict. But when push comes to shove Azula will obliterate anyone who would even give their kid a look whereas Katara would be the one to convince Azula murder won’t do much and suggests something better. They even each other out when it comes to parenting, knowing when to step in, and such.

Hmm Being Azula’s kid she will go through training, mostly the basics so the child could grasp the idea. But if the child(more like when the kid is 15) chooses that they want to train more and personally ask Azula to train them. Azula being a Firebending master would likely set her emotions aside when it comes to training. She wouldn’t be like her Sifu’s who expected perfection. Still very strict but not enough to burn them out. Instead of pointing out everything wrong, she praises her child lightly and goes to correct her form wordlessly. First obviously Azula would have to tell her kid what could happen if her Fire is controlled by a wrong mindset aka Azula opens up about her past. Azula Loves the idea of training her kid to become a good prodigy as Her and Katara, but after years of moving from the mindset of her old home life, she doesn’t push her kid to train as hard as she did. No War. Not wanting her kid to think of themselves as a weapon. She doesn’t train her as her Father and Sifu’s done. Endless Nightmares, Azula would never want that for her child.

Azula is insecure about becoming like her Parents. Some wounds never heal. She questions her decisions as a Mother silently at night. Questioning if she wants too far or done too little for her child. Wondering if her kid feels unsafe around her or if they even want to be around her. Azula constantly worries about becoming the worst parts of her Mother and Father. But the person to ground her from those thoughts is Katara. Katara always manages to break her through barriers and reassures Azula that their kid loves her. That she loves her. Knowing the insecurity of Azula, Katara cuddles her and tells her that she’s nothing like them until Azula falls asleep in her arms

Ooo okay. If their kid ends up being a Waterbender. I think Katara has to tell her kid about the dangers of it. When they’re older. I don’t think Katara would ever teach her children Blood bending. I feel like their kid would discover it on their own. And ask Katara about it which leads to them talking. Since Katara has banned the act. She doesn’t make excuses for her child. She shows them how to control the power when in case they get overwhelmed by a full moon. Azula thinks the kid should use it for self-defense and voices this to her kid without Katara knowing. Telling them to use it if it’s necessary even if it meant upsetting Katara. The child agrees with Azula and only used it to save their own life, five times in their life.
