people need to start understanding that blocking someone is a way to curate your online experience in a mature and healthy way.

it's not a moral or a character failing to block someone.

it's not "aggressive", it's not "bizarre", it's not a "lack of respect", it's not "throwing a fit", it doesn't mean you can't respect different opinions and it doesn't mean you should get "off the internet" to "get some air".

it's simply a 'i don't vibe with your content and don't want to see more from you.'

Hello! Your posts are very enlightening and I'm inspired by how much you read. Might be a weird question and I'm sorry if it is but do you have any good book recommendations for a USAmerican trying to expand their worldview? I.e., histories of other countries/global regions, imperialism, etc.

i have some, but also recommend looking through @metamatar / @fatehbaz / @lafemmemacabre / @killy / @sawasawako / @handweavers (these are the mutuals that stand out to me but just the tip of the iceberg) &other blogs that have a more robust collection of resources –– i have learned a lot from them over the years!

that said, here are some books and authors whose oeuvres/at least multiple books i strongly recommend. different genres, and i'm not delineating between them as i am ideologically opposed to Doing That/creating epistemic hierarchies. obviously, that is particularly true given the nature of this ask. but it should be pretty clear what is considered a standard 'political/historical nonfiction' book and what...isn't!

authors:

Lisa Lowe

Jasbir Puar

Laila Lalami

Sara Ahmed

Trinh T. Minh-ha

Jamaica Kincaid

b. binaohan

Larissa Lai

Edwidge Danticat

Harsha Walia

Bhanu Kapil

Is Wawa ever nonviolent with other scugs?

Oh, yeah, of course!! Haha-- you don't

actually have to worry about her with other slugcats, honestly. Most of the time she's very chill!

Like-- there's Enforcer and Puppet! Pretty sure they've both shown up on here before, ha! Wawa hasn't tried to kill them as far as I'm aware! And I'm also pretty sure it's not just because they're my siblings' guys

... Wait, do they count? Neither of them are really slugcat-- fully, anyway--

No, no they don't count, hold on. There's others!! I swear!

See, see! Better examples, ha, okay. There's!

There's Frigid, who hangs around my brother, Fathom, So they get to see each other pretty often!

Verdant, who is wiiiith Valleys! Valleys! One of my friends! Verdant's real big, which-- which wouldn't stop Wawa-- but it means that whenever I get photos of them together I get to treat it like a little challenge! "Spot the Wawa in this image"!

And Gardener!! Chimes' buddy! I don't think Wawa appreciates how often she gets babied by it, but he tolerates it at least!

... I probably didn't need to bring up examples, huh? But I wanted to! So!

Hope that answers your question!

...I wonder where Wawa is right now.

Hm..

ENFORCER & FRIGID -- @zarithial / @nofathomtoodeep

VERDANT -- @csidepooltide / @acrossgoldenvalleys

GARDENER -- @skybristle / @ask-bending-horizons

What is it about magneto that puts you off?

Magneto as himself as a character is really interesting. There's something there for sure about grief and trauma effecting you so heavily, and all the things you do to make sure it never happens again really just end up hurting the very people you want to help, because you're so blinded by your own pain and suffering. A lot there about cycles of trauma, of the ways the people we love who hurt us often have had very difficult lives that made them the way they are, but at the same time you at some point have to do what is right for you and stop making excuses, etc.

The problem is that Magneto has attracted a strong fanbase of people who constantly say "Magneto is right", as if Magneto has ever had consistent politics beyond "Mutants come first", and rewrite history to make his relationship with his children more ""wholesome"" or palatable, when in reality he is not any better than Charles is when it comes to traumatising and mistreating his kids. And this would mostly be fine to ignore, if it didn't start seeping into Marvel canon and the way writers now depict him and his children.

Wanda would not call Magneto daddy! She has been very clear in the past that she considers her true father to be Django Maximoff, the man who raised her, and I do not care for Magneto quietly replacing that in Orlando Scarlet Witch. He is a bad person to Pietro especially, which still remains in canon still at least, but it's mostly vague, without the context of why. Magneto literally killed Pietro in a fit of rage. Their relationship is, and always will be, an antagonistic one, and I do not understand why fans want to rewrite this dynamic to a much blander, easily digestible wholesome dynamic. His relationship with Lorna is slightly more stable in my experience (mind you, this is definitely my weakest point of Magneto and kid's dynamic, so I could be wrong) with him being more willing to acknowledge his wrongdoings, but he still often can be controlling and very quick to anger with her the way he is with the twins.

Magneto is not right, and he is more interesting to me when he is wrong. I honestly do not see the value in recontextualising his original LeeKirby actions as "The humans NEEDED a monster to fight", when like, no, he straight up was trying to murder some teenagers! He was a villain and while I don't think he should return to that kind of villainy, it is extremely important to the makeup of who Magneto is, and especially his redemption arc and his relationship with the twins, and the ways they struggled to accept him in their lives when he was on his redemption arc.

I like Magneto. I do not care for his fanbase, and I don't care for the increasing prevalence of those fans maturing into comics and rewriting history to make him less divisive and complex to make him a straight up hero.

Actually let's reiterate some basic inbox rules because the current influx of asks is what it is :

Be polite.

If you're sending me just (implicit or explicit) hate of any driver I'm not gonna post it.

Don't make me deal with the consequences of whatever opinion you're not brave enough to post on your own blog by sending it to me on anon. I'm not gonna do the work for you.

I'm allowed to not answer your ask.

You deal with the answer. If you can't deal with the answer, don't send the ask.

Don't be parasocial, remember that we don't know each other, be mindful of how you address me. I'm not your friend (unless you're one of my handful of beloveds but that's unlikely).

Thank you!

What's your favorite Halloween monster?

Demons! But since I already posted them as an angel and demon, here's them with their costumes switched...

[oceanwithouthermoon]

ive received multiple dms or asks asking why i blocked people (fyi to the anons, i dont have that many people blocked so youre not saving yourself much embarrassment by being anonymous😭) and im just gonna say this here EVEN THOUGH I DONT OWE ANYONE AN EXPLANATION FOR THIS im just tired of the messages

i will block anyone who has disrespectful takes (usually misogynistic but sometimes just straight up mean, FOR EXAMPLE if you make a really farfetched take or disregard canon SPECIFICALLY for the sake of discrediting someone elses take or ship) or if you always post a ship i dont want to see 🤷🏻‍♀️

so basically youll get blocked for being a dick... or a torisai shipper 😭😭 thats the criteria

[sincerely-sofie]

Do you still take comic requests? If so, i think it would be cute if Twig describes some food from one of her few fond human memories and then he goes and tries to re-create it for her.

@setech0715’s comment on the fanfic from ages ago has finally come to fruition:

[top-vi]

can you recommend some other rhaenicent centric blogs, feels like the whole fandom is against us after the finale :(

sorry this took a bit anon. here’s some blogs that may not be rhaenicent centric, but they do Get It in the way i believe you want. if you need any more you can honestly just look through my reblogs and the reblogs of my posts and find a bunch more

@cressida-cowper @wolfienation @alicent-archive @corporalicent @prideprejudce

@ladywolfknight @alicunt @shvroyism @notalicent @rhaenyratargayen

@alicenthighstower @xamelsketch @somebodytoundress @unmarrow

[arrgh-whatever]

any other goofy things you and your partner had done?

I just love seeing happy couples being silly, sorry if this question is a bit personal (Congrats on being engaged!)

I'm more comfortable sharing stories in the form of comics rather than just telling them but I can assure you our days are filled with goofiness and laughter!

and Thanks!
