Unfortunately, my little child is still suffering because he is a heart patient and is in pain as a result of holes in his heart. My only hope is that you will donate for his treatment and he needs your help to reach the goal as quickly as possible.

Hey so would Gortash ever do the “I’m the only person who could ever love you” thing with Durge after he got his mind wiped?

He would absolutely say that but also it is weirdly sincere, he truly does believe so

He (justifiably) believes that only he has ever fully accepted Durge with everything that comes along with it! He'd say that someone else might be able to love Durge but he is the only one who could do so without wanting to change anything about him.

"Only I love you for who you are and not for the man you could be."

"Only I have ever accepted you and whatever it was you chose to be."

"They might love the idea of you but in the end, I'm the one who loves the monster they're afraid of."

He truly does believe so, but because he is still Gortash he will phrase it in a manipulative way that separates Durge from any other support networks he might have, as he always did.

Geralt gets turned into a little kid temporarily.

During that time, he doesn’t remember his life as an adult. Jaskier enjoys pampering the young Geralt, who swiftly develops a crush on the bard. A big crush that leads to him proposing to Jaskier.

The bard accepts, not taking the offer seriously but finding the young witcher very sweet.

What he didn’t account for though was that adult Geralt would keep the memories from revisiting his childhood.

And he treats their “engagement” as completely legitimate and serious.

The tavern pulsed with energy, a vibrant atmosphere that Jaskier thrived in. The evening had started promisingly—his music resonated with the crowd, and Geralt was no longer burdened by the child-transforming curse. However, the jovial mood took a dark turn when an intoxicated patron became overly familiar with Jaskier.

"Have another drink," the inebriated man slurred, forcefully pressing a glass of spirits against Jaskier's lips.

"I appreciate the offer, but I must decline," Jaskier replied, attempting to extricate himself from the situation. However, the drunk's grip on his waist remained unyielding.

The man persisted, his voice thick with alcohol, "Come on, we just want to see you loosen up a bit." Jaskier's eyes darted around, searching for an escape route, but before he could formulate a response, a blur of motion caught his attention.

With a resounding thud, the drunk found himself sprawled on the floor, courtesy of Geralt's powerful fist.

Geralt's voice cut through the sudden silence, low and menacing, "My fiancé told you to back off."

I’m sorry if you’ve answered this, or if it should be obvious, but you does your substack say trans/rad/fem? What is trans radical feminism? How does it differ from just radical feminism?

Yep! It says Trans/Rad/Fem, as does the title of my book.

The short version is that your average online hate speech aficionado who calls themselves a TE"RF" is no more well-versed in actual radical feminist literature than the billionaire writer. The most feminist literature they've read is likely wizard kidlit, and maybe the most hateful bits of 'Transsexual Empire' or a bit of Sheila Jeffreys if you're lucky.

Meanwhile, the radical feminist tradition was one that itself emerged as a materialist, inclusive, and more working-class counterpoint to the First Wave's doddering Friedanism. People don't recall much of the first wave, but it engendered such ironclad feminist arguments as "lesbians are not oppressed by patriarchy because they do not marry and are not confined to the domestic sphere", or "mothers and fathers are equally responsible for women doing to the bulk of childcare, because mothers are so reluctant to let go."

Truly, it's a miracle there were any subsequent waves at all.

Adrienne Rich's essay on Compulsory Heterosexuality can be viewed as something of a turning point, a collation of a more materialist framework (since I don't believe Rich necessarily originated all the points she raised). She, rather gently and with more patience than I have ever demonstrated, addressed the arguments of the heterosexual feminists and highlighted the coercive nature of patriarchy and of heterosexuality itself, which could be considered a social regime, a model that attempts to subsume all women into domestic servitude and sexual labor for men.

(A quick aside--if you've ever encountered any arguments on this site along the lines of "CompHet is only for lesbians", do note that the original text involves Rich, a lesbian, laying out the argument to hetfeminists that all women, even straight women, are subjected to a mandatory heterosexual existence, and are punished for trying to live outside of it, as by pursuing economic independence or choosing to be childless.)

For me personally, given the rather dismal state of Indian feminism, which is dominated by affluent liberals and ignores the more radical prolefem and dalit feminist elements attempting to come to the fore, it was refreshing to finally behold a piece of feminist literature that identifies and names forced marriage as an aspect of patriarchy, one that a significant chunk of women all over the world, both within Western territories and without, live with. So much mainstream feminism in the 2000s and beyond was located in the interpersonal, the foregrounding of choices women "should" make, ignoring that for the vast majority of us, patriarchy either denies us any choice at all, or presents us with false ones, harshly punishing us for some choices while presenting them as "free".

(Liberal ideologies and systems, bound up as they are in a veneration of contracts between equal parties, account very poorly for contracts between parties on unequal footing, where one is at a significant material disadvantage and cannot truly make a "free" choice.)

Besides, it is neither true that modern feminism entirely discarded the second wave--look at "gender is a social construct" and "heteronormativity" for now-banal feminist concepts steeped in radfem origins--nor is it true that the "third wave", such as it was, was entirely aa step forward in inclusivity, trans-acceptance, class consciousness, or even racial justice. One need only look at the state of modern feminist discourses to see how well the latest "waves" have managed to argue the case for trans liberation, and my current most well-known essay is a deep dive into the Orientalist, transmisogynistic origins of "third genders", an idea the queer academy has uncritically absorbed and even championed.

I am under no misapprehensions that second-wave feminists would be my pals. A lot of them were white, for one thing. It is, however, a tradition that is both more diverse than the prevailing image of white, middle-class lesbian academics would have you believe, and one that has more than a few useful things to say, especially to a transfeminist.

I don't think we are best served by erecting a cordon sanitaire around the second wave and refusing to engage with it critically. I've read Transsexual Empire, for fuck's sake, and doing so revealed to me just how paper-thin this reactionary movement has always been. That book is as farcical and easily disproved as Hilary Cass' recent bilious screed, but both were elevated to legislative and political relevancy not due to their veracity, but because institutions simply need any literature to provide a veneer of legitimacy to their transphobia. That the texts exist at all is enough.

I have, in short, made my life's work engaging with scholarship that has historically ignored us, vilified us, or instrumentalized us, and that is as true for second-wave feminists as it is for cultural anthropologists. I just believe that Monique Wittig and Adrienne Rich made valuable contributions to feminist thought, and even as we remember all that their missteps, we should not erase what they did right.

On a personal note, I can think of no better revenge than taking the abandoned threads of the radical feminist tradition and finally fulfilling its aborted potential, as a transfeminist. The trans question tore the movement apart because of a subset of zealots who couldn't and wouldn't see us as sisters in the feminist struggle.

I am going to finish what they started, and make the conclusions that they couldn't. We're good at cleaning up other people's messes, after all.

Enid: So basically, I was just trying to get everything organized and it all worked out! I'm pretty proud of myself, I worked really hard and I did it! All by myself!

Wednesday: Was that a compliment directed towards yourself I just heard, Enid? Very good, here's a treat for being nice to yourself.

Wednesday pulls a bacon wrapped treat from her coat and tosses it up for Enid, who catches it in her mouth out of the air and munches happily on it, humming contentedly.

Yoko: …

Yoko: What… the fuck just happened?

Wednesday: Positive reinforcement, using specialized treats.

Yoko: I heard you the first time! I’m still saying it’s messed up!

Wednesday: I’ll have you know that the ingredients were sourced from only the most nutritious of mythical beasts.

Wednesday: I prepared each by hand, as there were none who could meet my exacting standards for the precise combination of nourishment, flavor, and mouthfeel that my wolf both requires and deserves.

Wednesday: You would be hard-pressed to find its match anywhere in this or any proximal dimension.

Yoko:

Yoko: Oooookay, THAT bag of crazy aside, I just— I can’t believe it’s NOT degrading.

Wednesday: Ah, so Enid already told you.

Yoko: Told me what?

Wednesday: The name we decided upon.

Yoko: Huh?

Wednesday: *hands Yoko the bag of treats*

Yoko: *notices the label*

Yoko: *reads aloud* I Can’t Believe It’s Not Degrading.

Yoko: 😐

Wednesday: *motions to continue*

Yoko: *squints at the tagline* So good, they’re better than self-respe—IS THIS A PICTURE OF ENID?!

Wednesday takes the bag back from the baffled vampire just as Enid excitedly scampers up.

Enid: I did it! I went two whole hours without opening TikTok!

Wednesday: Excellent. Now come closer and kneel so that I may balance your treat upon your perfect nose.

Enid: *happily does so*

Yoko: 🤦‍♀️

Enid: 🤤

[nthspecialll]

do you ever feel like jack's life was doomed to end up like his father's when john decided to go after Micah in american venom?

I think he was doomed from the start and I think that John doomed him.

In chapter four Dutch comments that family life is nothing for John, that it isn't him. In the epilouge Charles asks if family will ever be enough for John, if he can depart from the other life, and John's reply isn't exactly reassuring.

John doomed Jack by living the life he lived, as Charles said "we caused so much hell we are bound to get some back." Was Micah part of it? Possibly, but I think that the Pinkertons would have found him either way and I think that John would have found an excuse to go off in some way or another again. Jack in rdr1 comments on how John isn't actually present in his life, but keeps running off even between 1907 and 1911.

However Jack's thirst for revenge can very much be traced back to Micah. Jack watches as John leaves everything behind for revenge over Arthur, who was torn from John, so when John is torn from Jack, Jack leaves to get revenge for him. The only difference is that Jack at least waits so that his mother doesn't have to see it.

nonhuman ! Whumpee! Nonhuman! Whumpee!

I got too excited and carried away, IM SORRY - IM GONNA RAMBLE 🙈

New non-human royal whumpee just dropped! 🤪

Prince Evander Viluf of Eireania.

Eldest son of King Espen and Queen Alora, big brother to the twin princesses Dorothea (Dotty) and Devora.

He has large antlers, like branches reaching for the sky, and they're usually dripping with the finest jewels. A long lion-like tail that whips about and sways with every step. His one golden eye is a physical manifestation of his ability to dreamwalk - entering another's dreams, observing and manipulating their subconscious.

When Malachi, the long-feared warlord storms the kingdom, he slays the king and queen and seizes the throne, reducing the once-proud Prince Evander to a mere trophy/a pet...

“Surrender to me, little noble. Relinquish the throne… and I will spare your sisters. Defy me, and I will make them suffer a thousand deaths. And I promise, your highness, that you will beg me for the same fate as their sorry souls, but I shan’t let you off so lightly. No. That would be mercy."

Ur average MCYT polycule except it’s LimL! Flower husbands and ESMP S1! Flower Husbands. And they’re all sweet and loving and caring towards eachother. Do you see my vision.

Like they all help S1! Scott during his Elsa arc and assure him that he’s not to blame for what happened with Gem and he doesn’t need to isolate himself and they all make the collective effort to help him control his powers. S1! Flower husbands help LimL! FH with their relationship troubles. It’s all great and perfect and amazing and everything ends happily ever after and they all kiss. The end.

(Idk why I thought of this tbh. I just kind of did 😭😭)

calling Scott Elsa will forever make me laugh.

Also Empires Scott holding up his slightly pathetic fish while LimLife Scott holding up his slightly pathetic bird.

While trying to put himself back together after the mountain, Jaskier meets an older troubadour named Dandelion.

The man is arrogant, dresses garishly, and has the voice of an angel. They get along immensely once Jaskier gets over the goatee reminding him of Valdo.

Dandelion seems especially interested in Jaskier’s relationship with Geralt, and he becomes furious on the younger bard’s behalf when all of the details are relayed.

Then, in comes a witcher who is altogether familiar yet strange.

“Geralt!” Dandelion cries upon seeing the witcher.

And then the pair are kissing. With tongue.

“We have to go.” Other Geralt says. “We shouldn’t interfere with this world more than we have.”

“But, love, I found a younger, less talented version of me!”

That’s when Other Geralt truly looks at Jaskier for the first time, gives him a once over, and purrs, “I’m sure we can make time to properly say goodbye to the little flower.”

Oh my.

“Yes, but before that, we must talk to his Geralt!”

Other Geralt’s expression gets darker and darker as Dandelion dramatically relays Jaskier’s situation.

“Let me get this straight,” Jaskier said, pointing between Dandelion and the other Geralt. “You’re me, from another world,” he clarified, receiving a confirming nod from both. “And the two of you are... lovers.”

When they nodded again, Jaskier suddenly felt the room tilt as the weight of it all crashed down on him. The world went dark.

“Shit, he fainted,” Geralt muttered, catching Jaskier just before he hit the floor.

“Maybe we could’ve broken it to him a bit more gently,” Dandelion suggested, peering down at his unconscious counterpart. “But look at him. Aren’t I just the cutest?”

“Yes, you’re very adorable, my love,” Geralt replied, his tone laced with a resigned fondness. He knew he’d never hear the end of it if he disagreed. “But we should probably find a place to leave him before we head back home.”

Dandelion pouted playfully. “But Geralt, don’t you think we should help these two get together first? A little nudge in the right direction?”

“We’ll leave a note for the other Geralt,” Geralt replied firmly. He knew where this was going.

“But—”

“No ‘but.’ Don’t give me that look,” Geralt warned as Dandelion’s pout deepened. “We’re going home.”

is the left too tainted by misogyny and trans misogyny to be worth saving. Like I’ve been having thoughts about the general value and worth of any leftist ideology and reading your posts on the left makes me think it’s too unsalvagable and tainted. That’s it’s all a useless lie and we’re better off without it. But maybe I’m becoming too much of a misanthrope.

You are probably becoming a bit too down on it, I agree.

I don't dispute that I engage in a lot of "ruthless critique"; I fundamentally do not believe that a true working-class solidarity is possible without addressing the contradictions engendered by patriarchy within it. You cannot call me comrade and also see me as naturally your lesser, destined by sex to be fit only for reproductive-sexual labor within the domestic sphere. This is something that many leftist movements have failed to reckon with, and will likely continue to--to say nothing of the myriad other contradictions around race, ability, and more that those with leftist politics may be cognizant of, but fail to actually prioritize when it comes to solidarity work and movement-building.

In fact, it's only too easy for leftist organizations to become enamored with a nostalgic masculinism, idolizing and invoking the images of Strong Men coming together as Equals to forge a new Nation.

I don't believe that we will truly succeed in what it means to build a revolutionary counterhegemony until we dissociate ourselves from the very founding myths of our society and work to build something new, something where the exploited and devalued and abjectly dehumanized are truly our models, our heroes, and the basis for our vision of the future. We will need to roll up our sleeves and do the dirty work--of educating, of propagandizing, of protesting and fighting, yes, but also of healing, protecting, of cleaning up the messes of generations past, bit by grubby bit.

I'm sorry if my combativeness and rage has communicated to you that I am anything but hopeful for our future, because I am. I am hopeful even when I am worn down, exhausted, beaten and bent and broken by the burdens this world places on us all, because I don't just believe this future to be necessary, I believe it to be both possible and within reach.

The chorus of the ignorant will always be louder, but those of us willing to do the necessary work grow in number every day. We reach out to each other, reassure each other, lift each other up, and one day soon will be too many to simply ignore.

Monsterfucker Tim pretending it's a chore to be his siblings' cum dump when it's mating season, meanwhile he's trying to see if there's a way to make human dna compatible with monster dna.

Just him babbling while he's being railed, thinking he's doing a convincing job of complaining and putting up a fuss. Except all the other boys are fully aware of his actual stance and have already started dosing him with some magical thingy to surprise him with a 'litter' of little monster babies.

What can they say, it's adorable when he says stuff like "I can't believeI have to be the- the one to- oh fuck so big, so so big. Deeper deeper. Harder. Fuck me with that beautiful cock! That disgust- oh fuck, so good. So gross- oh rail me! Breed me! Breed me! Please!"

monsterfucker tim secretly loving that he "HAS" to fuck his monster brothers but he's so bad at hiding it that they can all tell how much he looks forward to it. he's just so into it, moving his hips back against theirs at every thrust, whining and mewling when they pump him full of cum, him breathlessly begging them to breed him- its all so very obvious tim is much more fucking into them than he lets on!!💖💖💖
