#call this one a tmi boys but it's my blog i can do whatever the fuck i want with it

[itsevanffsbutspam]

me the past week tbfh. did not know i enjoyed nonconsensual misogynistic/transphobic infantilisation (in a sex way) until sunday evening but OH BOY. this one's a rabbit hole, i can already tell. but seriously where the fuck did this one come from

[pathetic-tboy]

I started following your blog and I see you post a lot of T4T so I'm just curious like what makes someone a chaser. Like I'm a cis bi/pan guy and I don't really care much who I'm hooking up with but I've found my experiences with trans men and women generally just a lot better than with cis guys or girls. Like I find these days when I'm dating and someone is trans it appeals to me more because if those connections but I don't want to come off as some chaser that just wants to fetishize trans people but I do still seem to just like them more on a personal level. And my last few long term dating were with trans guys. Like I see a lot of your posts and stuff and things like a trans boy puppy and stuff I find hot because like I used to date one but I feel worried reblogging a lot of that stuff and appearing as a chaser. Is this something that's ever come up with you before with cis friends or relationships in the past, and do you have any advice I guess.

Also feel free to just ignore this message if it's TMI or whatever. I just find myself back at dating again and trying to like work it all out ig

totally fine question

everyone has different ideas of what a chaser is, some are more bad faith than others, MY general idea is someone who fetishizes transness and trans bodies

however, some people who also say this also include people who are just attracted to their trans partners/are t4t. so my idea of a fetishist is in a very negative way

what actions i would consider from a fetishist are wanting to control your partners transition, wanting your partner to halt their transition for sexual reasons regardless of what they themselves want, largely doesnt consider their trans partners human on the basis that they're fetishizing them. what this means is that a chaser may consider their partners wellbeing, consent, and opinions secondary to them and/or their fetish

what i DONT believe a chaser is is any person who has a history of dating mostly trans people (or even preferring to date trans people) for any other reason. theres lots of reasons someone may prefer to date trans people, im t4t for safety and comfort reasons

in my idea of what a chaser is, trans people are not excluded from that definition. my nonbinary ex guilted me into not getting top surgery or binding for their sexual fetish of transmasc bodies, and as a result, i lost a lot of my personal identity and my grasp of who i was. however, some people dont believe trans people can be chasers

and, noteably, you can have your preferences in partners influenced by past partners. my first serious trans ex made me realize im really into dominant women who are a little taller than me, for example. its very reasonable that, if you have had very good relationships with trans people, you might want to continue that streak.

also, ignore this bit if its out of pocket, but honestly if you find that you connect more with trans people than cis people, it might be worth exploring your gender a little bit. birds of a feather and all that jazz, yknow?

all in all, i consider a chaser to be inherently in bad faith. if you happen to have a trans partner or even just think trans dudes are hot (we are) then dw about reblogging my stuff! honestly i think with the way social media is right now with everyone assuming bad faith, anyone who even dates a trans person is usually gonna get called a chaser at least once. i've gotten called a chaser so many times, like yall my girlfriend is way worse of a chaser than i am lol

Thank you.

After too many and super busy weeks full of work, you’ve finally managed to find a free afternoon in your schedule where your best friend and you have enough time for a nice, long telephone call on the couch. You are already over one and a half hour on the phone, exchanging the newest stuff that happened in your life with each other and joking around. Slowly your conversation turns their focus to your more private life and your bestie asks you about your polyamorous relationship with your boyfriends. At first just normal things like, how’s it going in general, how you all manage the relationship with all the different time schedules, how often it comes to fights and how you deal with that etc. Just normal stuff and  the ‘typical’ questions you’re already used to, when people realize that you’re not in a monogamous relationship. 

Your best friend and you grew up together. You met each other in elementary school, went through the curses of puberty as an inseparable team and even survived middle and high school thanks to the other one. Already in your teens, where both of you made your first experiences and got into your first relationships, your best friend had a guess that you’re not as straight as you want him to believe. No, they even assumed that you’re maybe not made for the typical monogamous relationship which the society preach every fucking day. 

Well, turns out that your best friend really knew you better than you did yourself back then but honestly, nowadays you’re thankful for their suggestions and that they gave you the save space you needed to dare to make new experiences in those directions. 

Nevertheless, they were still more than surprised when you introduced him to not only two or three boyfriends, no that you brought seven (!) other men to their birthday party two years ago. At first they were a little worried if you didn’t overload yourself with such a complex relationship dynamic and that it’ll turn out as a serious burden and not an enrichment for your life. Turns out, now it was their turn to make a false assumption about what’s the best for you and theu were more than happy to admit that everything turned out just fine. It truly makes their heart swell to hear the happiness in your voice through the phone everything you mention something about the boys. 

Quickly your phone call turn into an even more private talk and dedicate itself to the really interesting stuff. You’re sharing every detail in your life with another, so why should it stop when it comes to sex talk? You have absolutely no problem and any shame to talk freely with your best friend about your kinks and dirty thoughts. Sometimes you even think that you’re better informed about each other’s preferences better than your actual partner(s) are. 

“I think, I already told you that idea more than once... that I have a thing for exhibitionism and the thought of getting catched doing something ‘forbitten’ or ‘dirty’, right? Uhm... TMI but I don’t give a shit, whenever I am alone at home because they’re busy and we can’t meet for some days... I mastubate with some of the toys they’ve bought for me and imagine that they catch me. You know, when we have sessions with Dom and Sub Dynamics, they’re only temporarily and usually we go back to normal in the moment when the scene is over... that means, when I am alone and horny, I can do whatever I want to. I can jack off or fuck myself as much I desire and they wouldn’t say anything about it. It’s not like, I don’t appreciate my personal freedom when it comes to masturbation or that I want something completely different, no! We both already talked about that too, I don’t like the idea of Total Power Exchange, I prefer to be an independent person as soon as I walk out of the bedroom- okay, not only bedroom, we have sex in other places than the bedroom too- ANYWAY, what I wanted to say with that: ...”, you mutter and take a deep breath into your lungs. 

After holding such a long monologue your mouth dried up terribly and now you need quickly something to drink. You get up from the couch and walk over to the kitchen island to pour some soda into a glass. A satisfied hum leaves your throat after you took some gulps of your favourite sparkling sugar bomb. 

The whole time, where you moved around in the eat-in kitchen of the apartment, you are not that alone anymore as you thought you’d be, especially right in this moment. Namjoon, Hoseok and a boyish smirking Jimin joined you around ten minutes ago, leaning casually against the wall next to the door of the room and listen very interested to the conversation you have with your friend right now. They didn’t mean to overhear your private talk, they just wanted to know what kind of take-out food you’d prefer for tonight. 

Unfortunately your conversation turned out to be very, very interesting for them, so they decided to give you some more time to talk with your best friend about the sexual fantasies you have which they don’t know about... well, until now.

Hoseok texted the other boys in the group chat to join them in the living room as well, they need to hear those very important information too! 

Poor you, completely oblivious and naïve to what’s happening in this moment, not getting any kind of hint that not only your best friend would get those significant informations...

“...-what I actually wanted to say with that: I prefer to be independent in relation to all other non-sexual life-responsibilities. Well, that doesn’t mean we couldn’t increase the Erotic Power Exchange, right? To be very honest, I can’t get the fantasy of them taking my sextoys away and to forbid me to touch myself without their permission out of my head. I love to be their good boy and to get praises, I really do... but there is this thrill to be break the instructed rules, getting caught while doing it and getting punished for it. I want... I want to get called bad, filthy and dirty names, I want to be a disobedient, greedy and insatiable slut for them. I want to get spanked, edged and overstimulated, I want to get fucked into the mattress so bad, up to the point where I can’t get a single clear thought together and my brain turned to mush... I want to get used, ruined and wrecked by their cocks, getting my holes stuffed full with their cum and then plugged up, so nothing can run out anymore- God fuck, I should stop talking like that or I’ll get a serious problem! Well... sorry for so much detailed TMI, you know that this shit always happens when you tell me to stop overthinking and encourage me to spill everything that comes to my mind. Now you got every filthy detail you’ve asked for, you’re welcome.”, you joke sarcastically and facepalm yourself. You can’t believe how incredibly blunt and shameless you just threw your latest sex fantasy in every fucking detail at your poor best friend. 

Usually you’re more than shy to talk about such things, in your understanding the magic for your shameless mouth towards your best friend has to reside in the deep thrust you have in him and simply the knowledge that your relationship is platonic. It’s not like that you couldn’t trust your boyfriends wholeheartedly, god no! You know, that they would never kinkshame you for anything, 

it’s just... after sharing those thoughts it would result something out of it. You don’t want that they  think you’re a weirdo or that they only do specific things because they know it would turn you on. 

The other one just snorts in amusement when you voice this slight helpless apology, they can imagine the significant blush which has settled down on your cheeks. 

“Hey buddy, don’t apologize for that. There is nothing to apologizing for, I am way too curious for my own good as well and I need to make sure that you’re happy in your relationship, especially when it comes to the point if they are able to fulfill your sexual desires. I need to know that, believe me. Okay, there’s one thing... I knew you were submissive, my dude. But I didn’t expect that you’d be such a masochistic hoe and that you’d have such a thing for degradation, Jesus! Nevermind, more important: did you talked with them about that fantasy? Would they be down for this idea and would they like to be more in charge? Please do not tell me that you’re too shy to talk with them about it, not again! I tell you this every goddamn time, communication is key!”, your best friend says to you in a serious tone. 

Here you go again, getting scolded by your friend all over again. He is right, you know that... y’all already talked about ‘how to deal with certain kinks some of them or you have but the others aren’t into and how to not make them feel bad or insecure about it’ several times, you tend to overthink everything you have ever said to them all over again. You are always so flustered when seven pairs of eyes are looking at you, waiting for an answer. You are tall, even taller than Namjoon, but under their curious stares you feel always so small, fiddling with your fingers around like a little schoolboy. You love that about them, putting you into such a submissive place just with their aura and charisma and giving you the feeling as if they overtower you physically too. 

“I can absolutely agree with Y/BF/N, communication is key. Why didn’t you told us those nasty fantasies you have in your cute head up here, right away? Too shy again? Do we really need to call your best friend the next time to get some hints to your secret kinks, Babyboy?”, Taehyung rasps into your earshell and wraps his arms around you. He chuckles slightly as you squeak high-pitched in surprise. 

An equal surprised yelp of your best friend comes out of the speaker of your phone which takes Yoongi out of your hand and excuse you with the apology that ‘they need to have an important talk with you now and that you have to hang up unfortunately’. 

The display of your phone turns dark and Yoongi puts it on the surface of the kitchen island before he flashes you a dirty smile. That you’re mortified that they caught you spilling all those filthy fantasies to your best friend is the understatement of the century. Never and you mean never did you hoped so bad that the floor opens up and swallows you whole, saving you from this embarrassing misery. But Yoongi give you much time to drown in shame, coming up to you and connect your lips to a rough kiss. 

“God, I love it when our so sweet and shy Baby has such nasty and indecent fantasies in his head... why don’t you tell us these ideas in every single filthy detail once again? I think we could turn the information into some very good use, big boy~”, whispers the smaller one with blown-out eyes against your lips.

“...or would you prefer that we call you a needy cumslut, hm? The things I’ve heard give me the assumption that you want to get fucked stupid and pumped full with cum as if you are our personal playtoy?”, growls Jungkook and grabs himself a handful of your right asscheek, kneading it with a firm grip in his big palm. 

“Come on, big boy, admit that you want exactly the things Jungkook just said... I can feel how fucking hard you just got from his words... already so hard and swollen against my palm even though we barely touched you. You’re truly such a pathetic, needy slut... I bet you’d already cum in your pants if we just tease you enough... Am I right?”, chuckles Namjoon in his deep, arousal soaked timbre against your neck, nibbling at the sensitive spot of your Adam’s apple. 

“...what about we change our location to the bedroom and talk about the things you’ve said to Y/BF/N? Maybe we could try some of your newest kinks out? Would you like the thought of us watching you from the couch while you prepare your needy asshole for us? Showing us how you stuff you clenching rim with a girthy dildo? Wearing a cockring so you couldn’t cum without our permission? Prepping yourself all messy, whining for our finger, tongues and dicks in your ass like the greedy slut you are? Yeah, you’d love that thought.”, Seokjin teases you mercilessly, rolling your sensitive balls in his palm, just how you like it.  “Y-Yes, Daddies... I’d love to be a greedy cumslut for you... please turn me into one!”, you wisper.

Damienette arranged marriage: part 14

NEXT

-----------------------

Marinette wanted to chase after him, but suddenly the pain in her heart flared again. She suddenly detransformed and fell on her knees. The green glow around her heart got stronger and she was suppressing the scream of pain. 

“I am so sorry Marinette. I tried to heal you… but this is some dark magic. Oh no! I think I made it worse…” Tikki was lamenting while floating next to the girl. The last thing Marinette rememebed before passing out from the pain was a scream and a pair of green eyes staring at her. There might have been some words, but she was unable to hear them.

-----------

Damian cursed under his breath. Of course something like this would happen. Marinette passed out from the pain that the curse was causing her. Only my mother. He tired to remember anything that would help, but nothing came. He was certain it had something to do with the marriage ceremony, but what exactly he had no idea. The whole ceremony was quite hazy in his memory. He didn’t really pay that much attention to what was said, instead trying to free himself. He looked at the worried kwami floating around in panic.

“tt. Jon. Lay her down on the bed. You.” He looked at Tikki. “Why did this happen?”

“I don’t know. When we merged I tried to heal her body so she stood a chance. There was some dark magic around Marinette’s heart and I tired to purify it, but it pushed me out and this happened. Oh my Marinette.” Tikki almost started to cry.

“That is mother’s fault. She did something during wedding. This is some… curse or something.”

There were several bangs and three people barged into the room. The boy wore a black, teal, and cyan suit, appearing to be slender and muscular. His suit had a snake texture along with the same kind of underbelly like a snake and had a cyan colored mask around his eyes. His eyes were green and his hair was in same coloration as his outfit. He held a lyre in battle position. 

Next was a girl. She wore a red bodysuit with an image of a black rose with a yellow outlining involving her from her left leg to her chest with the flower holding the images that represent the three elements: lightning, air and water. She also had a black collar/turtleneck (where she had her choker), black forearm-length gloves and black legs starting at a point in the middle of her lower legs, both with yellow outlining. On the back of her head, she had four red dragon like horns with yellow tips with black outlining and, on her back, she had a holder for her sword. On her face, she wore a red mask around her eyes with yellow and black outline at the base of the sides. Her eyes were golden with a yellow scleras.

Third was Chloe.

“What is going on here?” Viperion asked with worry when he saw Marinette on the bed. Tikki hid behind Damian not to expose her chosen. 

“She is suffering from some kind of curse. I have no knowledge of what set it off.” Damian summarized. 

“I can hear her song…” Viperion said more to himself than anyone in particular. “It’s… so distorted. Almost like there was… I never before encountered anything like this.”

“Her song?” Chloe looked like she was about to faint. TMI. Waay TMI for one day.

“There is time for questions will come later. For now Mar… This girl needs our help.” Ryuko stated calmly, but there was some well-hidden fear in her voice. Not well enough for Damian.

The stutter did not escape young Wayne. Marinette never told him the identities of the two remaining full-time heroes. She did tell him she only had two friends that still supported her though and it was not that hard to connect the dots.

“I agree.” He said. “I assume you are trustworthy enough if Ladybug made you a full-time heroes. Kent, get me my case.”

Jon made a faux salut and flew to his room. In just a moment he was back with the silver case. He put it on the ground and Damian opened it. Viperion and Ryuko looked at the content and their expression shifted a bit. While the girl stayed silent, a small gasp escaped serpent hero. The only reaction Robin gave them was an absent-minded dismissive hand-wave while he pillaged through the utility belt. 

At the same time Chloe was next to Marinette’s unconscious body. She could see that even now she was in great pain. A tear fell down the blonde’s face. “I just got a friend… don’t make me alone again. I promise I will be the best friend ever…” 

“tt. I have no more anti-charms.”

“So call Raven. I am sure she can come here.” Jon suggested. “I will even carry her here to speed things up.

“She is in different plane of existence on some… pilgrimage. And my roaming does not cover hell or wherever she went.”

“Zatana then? Doctor Fate?” Superboy did not gave up and started to enumerate the Justice League members that had some knowledge of magic.

“tt. Yeah. Let’s get Santa Claus” Damian joked.

“No can do. He is too busy before christmas.” Tikki said surprising everyone. There was a loud THUD! and Chloe was now fainted on the floor. 

“Weren’t you supposed to stay hidden? And he is real?!” Damian screamed the last part.

“I am the first thing that ever came into existence, you are best friends with two aliens, a mutant and a half-devil. Do you honestly have trouble believing in Santa Claus?” Tikki asked. “Oh my… I am turning into Plagg…” She moaned.

“Yes. the best way to spend time is to wallow about your choice of words while your chosen is fucking dying from pain.” Damian cursed.

“I know a solution. In fairy tales most curses can be broken with true love’s kiss!” Tikki said happily.

“Does it look like a fairy tale to you?” Damian was losing patience

“No. But there is a reason why people believed in it. Only it doesn’t work that way really.” She paused and Damian sent her a death glare. Kagami, Luka and Jon all decided to step back to give them space. None had any idea who would come victorious. Tikki might have been all-powerful, but Damian had enough tenacity and determination to not care. “The true loves kiss can only break some curses, mostly related to love.”

“So whatever curse mother put on her during the wedding should be reversable with a… kiss?”

“Exactly!”

Damian pondered this. He wanted to do it, but he just… froze. Every part of him was telling him that this was the only way. That he had to save her. But at the same time, this little part of his brain was telling him that this was not right. That their first kiss should not be like that.

Damian slowly approached and took Marinette’s hand. He leaned over so their faces were only centimeters apart.

“I am sorry.’

[hetalia-text-messages]

Psst, hey you

Yeah, you! Are you trans? Where do you live? America, England, France, Portugal, Sweden, somewhere like that? I need to tell you something.

Leelah Alcorn died when I was fourteen years old. I had my doubts of my gender at fourteen years old. Her story angered me. Not because she was trans, of course not, but because she had to go through that. I knew it wasn’t right, but why did I care so much? How did it affect me? I already knew I wasn’t as straight as I thought I was, and I cared about the LGBT+ community (transfolk are a part of it fucking fight me) because I was one of them. I know I would’ve cared even if I was straight because I’m a “caring person” according to other people or something, whatever helps them sleep at night.

I saw Leelah as someone like me in a way. Sure, sexuality and gender are completely different things, but they’re grouped together a lot. I thought about my life up until that point. I wasn’t like some of the “typical” girls, I had a toy toolbox full of tools and I loved insects. Nothing wrong with that, that alone doesn’t make someone a boy or a lesbian or something. I had “girly things” too, but it was always great to just find worms and race snails and hold frogs and raise their tadpoles and get dirty outside.

I thought “damn I really am a tomboy aren’t I lol”, but it didn’t seem right. That wasn’t the right word for it, I needed something else. I can’t remember the first time I actually heard the term “transgender”, since my family didn’t really teach me about sexualities and genders. It was when I made hetalia-text-messages and got a couple trans requests that I broadened my knowledge. You guys are the ones who taught me.

I had a fleeting thought that maybe if I were a boy my name would be Adam or something. I pretended I didn’t think about it a lot. I lied to myself and other people for years about my real feelings. I wrote a fanfic with a trans character after doing a lot of research because you can’t afford to get a single thing wrong when dealing with sensitive topics like this. My story was praised, even though it probably wasn’t that great.

I was a Freshman in the GSA (Gay-Straight Alliance) Club when I was told an acquaintance wasn’t Cindy (not real name changed it for privacy) anymore, he was Michael (also not real). I was curious but too scared to ask, plus it seemed rude. I just nodded and tried my best to remember. It didn’t take long at all and I rarely slipped up. It seemed so easy to switch between the names and pronouns.

An old crush of mine from middle school (who came out as gay in the eighth grade) said they were genderfluid next, and to call them a different name. I had to look that one up. I ran into them a couple weeks ago after years of not seeing them. They looked happy and recognized me right away. I’m glad.

So I gradually began just...hating what I saw. I don’t have the largest chest, so I thought I’d be upset about that. I got upset because they weren’t even smaller. That seemed odd. Yeah, some girls were uncomfortable that they were bigger than they wanted, but this felt different. I didn’t like what I saw in the mirror. I’ve never really found myself attractive or loved my body image, so shoving some new thing that I later found out was gender dysphoria on top of that made it worse and confusing.

TMI warning, it’s a little embarrassing to admit, but I didn’t realize how little I knew until I only JUST RECENTLY found out what a dick looks like. I’m not kidding, seriously. I had never watched porn or looked at real pictures because that thought was dirty. I didn’t want one of those down there, but I didn’t really want what I had currently either.

I voiced my concerns to my friend once, who told me I may just be confused and tumblr was getting to me. I agreed and pushed it as far back into my mind as possible, so far I forgot it almost entirely. It wasn’t the best thing to do, but I was scared. I act like things don’t scare me, but nothing scared me more than thinking I was wrong.

More trans requests came in, I even made hetalia-trans-text-messages for them. Someone asked me if I was trans after I did so many, and I said no. I was lying through my fucking teeth and I probably knew it. I’m sorry I lied. I lost interest in what I was doing with the blogs and stopped ignoring the thought. I came out very publicly on the main blog at seventeen years old, I believe. One friend, Allen, already knew since he was going through the same thing, but that’s how the other friend from earlier found out because I was too much of a coward to tell her. She accepted me. My third friend never truly did, but he pretends.

It was December of that year when I decided to start the process of transitioning. I was eighteen when I got a pixie cut, surprising my parents. Around Christmas I was trying to come up with a name. I wasn’t really feeling Adam anymore, and definitely not Anna. I don’t HATE my birth name, it’s just Anna is a little more girly than I liked. I settled on Aaron after the Key and Peele video Substitute Teacher, then moved on to my middle name. It starts with a D, and there didn’t seem to be any good ones out there.

“I’ve changed my name a couple times so you don’t have to necessarily decide right now,” Allen told me.

I knew very well and just started to think about The Beatles instead. A lot of people hated Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da, but I thought it was a fun and catchy song that I loved to sing. Desmond has a barrow in the marketplace, Molly is the...

Wait.

“Aaron Desmond.” It was late at night, and no one heard me. “My name is Aaron Desmond.”

You probably saw that I eventually came all the way out since I was freaking out so badly on here, ha. I wasn’t ashamed of who I was, I was a boy. I got a binder and “male” clothes. I think about testosterone a lot as well as legally changing my name, and top surgery. Bottom surgery not so much, I’m young and have time to think about it. Dicks are still kinda weird. I’ve been using the men’s bathroom in public, it’s a lot easier than I expected. Just act like you belong there and no one says anything for the brief moment they see you.

I asked about the countries in the beginning because there are certain ways this topic is viewed. No matter where you are, no matter what laws or rules the place has, YOU ARE VALID. You are valid, and that’s all there is to it. Other people don’t have the right to tell you how you’re supposed to feel, only YOU know how to feel. It’s your damn business and anyone who incorrects you is a jerkface. And I can wear makeup and the occasional dress if I want to because that’s how I roll and that doesn’t make me a girl.

Leelah Alcorn, you helped me discover who I am, and I am grateful. I just wish it didn’t take your death for me to realize all of this. You’re beautiful, Leelah. You look better than me when I was a girl. Rest in peace.

I’ve talked long enough, just know I’m always cheering for you guys. You’re safe here. I want you to know that. You’re all beautiful. You MATTER. Listen to me, you fucking matter. YOU FUCKING MATTER, YOU ARE NOT WORTHLESS OR WRONG OR BROKEN. You matter to me, and I hope for some that’s enough. There’s no dumb reason to keep going, they’re all important because you are alive.

You will be found.

Jane the Virgin 1x13 Chapter Thirteen

Spoilers disclaimer (please read before sending messages or writing comments.)

Click here for previous recaps!

Stray thoughts

1) “And we officially find out the sex.” Unfortunately, this is one of the very few things I already know – she will be having a baby boy. I still think it’s going to be very interesting to see how the news of a baby boy is received in an all-female house. I’m positive Jane will want a baby girl.

2) Thank you, narrator, for reading my mind.

It should be noted that Petra should absolutely not trust Lachlan.

3) Rose/Sin Rostro is masterfully using her role as the oblivious widow to gather information from Michael and Nadine. At least she’s trying to defend Rafael by claiming that neither of them knew about “Emilio’s” criminal activities…

I wonder if now that we know she’s Sin Rostro we’ll see her in action or if most of her deeds will continue to be unbeknownst to us.

4) So… since he got the sack, Rogelio has been eating sandwiches and surfing the Internet. That’s exactly what I did while I was unemployed, so kudos to you, Rogelio.

5) Yes, Jane wants to have a baby girl. 

6) Oh, shit. This totally got me.

DOCTOR: This bright spot on the baby's heart is called an echogenic focus. And there's another one on the bowel. Now, I know that probably sounds scary. But let me be clear, by itself, this has no effect on the baby's health or the heart.

RAFAEL: So what's the problem with it?

DOCTOR: Well, at the moment, there is no problem. But an echogenic focus can be a marker for possible chromosomal abnormalities in the fetus. But like I said, it could also be nothing, a normal variant.

RAFAEL: And you can't tell which it is, whether it's nothing or something?

DOCTOR: Uh, not from an ultrasound, no.

RAFAEL: Jane?

JANE: Sorry. How do we find out then?

DOCTOR: We can do an amniocentesis. It's a relatively common procedure where we remove and test fetal cells. After the procedure, we'll put you on bed rest for 48 hours. And after the risk has passed, you're back to your life.

JANE: What's the risk?

DOCTOR: Miscarriage. Statistically, it occurs in about one in 300 of these procedures.

I’m guessing she won’t care whether it’s a boy or a girl after this. I also wonder if this will be another test for how strong their relationship is.

7) I knew it, Alba vieja zorra! I love it!

8) YES, YOU CAN.

9) Rogelio is kind of delusional about his status as a star and he is a total diva, so I’m kind of looking forward to seeing him get a reality check.

10) Aww, Rafael…

Gah, this kind of broke me? I’m an emotional mess right now, everything brings me to tears because I’m on my period. TMI? Sorry.

11) Woof, that whole conversation about the test and the baby among Jane, Alba, and Xiomara was some heavy shit. I really wasn’t expecting the show to get so serious so soon? They even brought up the possibility of having an abortion. And now, I’m kind of hoping she has a baby with special needs because I’m trying to think of other shows that have gone there and I’m going blank? And with so much talk about representation, that’s a minority that hardly ever is given any representation at all. They are never represented as… people, with struggles and feelings and wants and needs just like everyone else. Is it bad that I want this?

12) Milos really can’t take no for an answer, and I’m guessing all the anger management stuff is not going to hold him back for too long.

13) DON’T, JANE!

Brb, I can’t type because of aLL THE FUCKING TEARS. I think it wasn’t a good idea to watch this episode while I’m on my period. TMI? Sorry.

This is messing me up so much.

14) Oh, wow – I’m still crying btw – I know I haven’t been #teamrafael, but…

I think what he did here was absolutely wonderful. He’s freaking out as much as Jane is, he’s also haunted by all the what-ifs and he’s confused and uncertain and terrified. Yet, he doesn’t let it show. He understands precisely what Jane needs from him right now, and he fucking delivers. He’s supportive, sweet, understanding, and reassuring. And bless him for it because he’s also comforted me.

(Don’t get me wrong, I still think there’s not much substance to their relationship, but I truly appreciate the way he acted here.)

15) This kind of reminded me of Captain Holt for some reason?

This type of unexpected meltdown in front of an unwilling audience, you know?

16) Graduation ceremonies are overrated, so it shouldn’t even be a question what she should do.

17) How could Sin Rostro not know that Emilio was cheating on her?

18) She’s been wearing a wig this whole time? What for? Does the wig work like Superman’s glasses? In an “inexplicably completely make people believe this a whole different person” kind of way?

19) What is Rafael’s plan about? I have no idea, but Xiomara seems to be super sure Jane is not going to love it, and I trust her completely.

20) What a surprise, the conversation between Xiomara and Alba also got me. Alba is an old-fashioned, traditional kind of woman, so it’s understandable that she made the choice to “honor” her husband’s memory by not finding a new partner. But in spite of her traditional ways, she’s also refreshingly open-minded, especially when it comes to listening to Jane’s and Xiomara’s advice. Despite being so different, Xiomara and Alba truly respect each other and value each other’s opinion, so I think Xiomara said exactly what Alba needed to hear.

21) Jane is worried she made a mistake by having the test done, but I agree with Rafael – there really was no right or wrong decision here, it all sucked. So all they were left with was choosing what sucked less, whatever gave them as much peace of mind as possible. Jane also asks Rafael whether he would forgive her if anything went wrong, but the big question is, would Jane forgive herself? I don’t think so.

22) So, Sin Rostro is not so clever after all… she slipped up by assuring the detectives she 100% thought Emilio was at his office the night of the murder, but now Emilio’s girlfriend told them Emilio called Rose and told her he was at the boat. Can Michael really figure it all out so quickly?

23) He fucking did. I’m impressed.

24) Okay, Rafael’s plan was indeed cheesy/sweet…

25) Yep, the tears keep on coming…

Xiomara and Jane have a wonderful relationship.

26) Oh, this was savage…

LACHLAN: Yes, so here's the thing. You're not coming.

PETRA: What?

LACHLAN: You never were. And I want you out of the hotel. Good news you're already packed.

PETRA: I don't understand.

LACHLAN: Really? Because I warned you. (flashback: Karma's a bitch.) And then you screwed me over again. Are you surprised that you could be outmaneuvered? PETRA: No. I'm surprised you could be this awful.

Gotta admire his commitment to revenge, though.

27) So Rafael and Jane have decided not to find out the baby’s sex but Jane is still holding on to the fantasy that it’s a girl. That’s going to cause problems.

28) Fucking Milos bought part of the hotel? So he’s sticking around? Color me fucking surprised! He bought it for Petra? They’ll be partners?

29) rogELIO CANNOT LEAVE. I WON’T FUCKING ALLOW IT. He’s going to be forced to choose between staying with his newfound family or his career right? And he’s going to choose the former right? RIGHT?!

30) WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!

Zazo is still alive?!!! HOW????? And why are he and Rafael all buddy-buddy?? OH WAIT! IT’S HIS BROTHER ISN’T IT????!!! PETRA AND RAFAEL MENTIONED HIM ONCE!!! IT COULD BE HIS TWIN BROTHER!! I DON’T KNOW WHY I’M SHOUTING!! Sorry.

31) Well, this episode was a rollercoaster. I don’t know if it’s a well-regarded episode or not, or if it was because I’m on my period (TMI? Sorry.) but it definitely made me feel lots of things! Now I can’t wait to figure out if I’m right about Zazo/Zazo’s brother!

32) Hope you enjoyed my recap, and, as usual, if you’ve got this far, thank you for reading! If you enjoy my recaps and my blog, please consider supporting it on ko-fi.Thanks!

Daisy Duck: HR Style

I might have gone a little overboard about this, but uh...there are no regrets. @donaldtheduckdad and @robinine-blog

Daisy Duck alternatively known as Daisy Miranda-Duck (canon/fanon)

She grew up with her mother, father, brother, and sister in the Industrial District. Her family were lower class/poor. I know there is the possibility that the brother is HDL’s father, but…I don’t think it’s going to be case in this one.

Donna and Daisy were born in Mouseton, raised in Duckburg. They’re twins.

Has an older brother. David?

Donna has the triplets with an ex-boyfriend who leaves shortly before they’re born.

Daisy is attending St. Canard University majoring in Human Resources with a minor in Illustration/Art.

Did not want children. Wasn’t planning to ever have kids, and biologically can’t by time she’s 27.

Donna suffers from untreated PPD. After six months, she bails on her daughters, and leaves for Mexico to live with relatives.

Daisy’s parents cannot handle this so Daisy steps up. Brother helps too, but he has his own family.

Donna signs off her parental rights and lives it up in Mexico for a while.

Daisy barely finishes school due to the whole strain of it all. Her dad gets sick, mom is overwhelmed, and there are three babies that need to be cared for.

Gets her first job right out of school working for a company where sexism is rampant, and she goes like… “@%!# all of you because you need me more than I need you,” she’s totally BSing but the boss likes her spunk, “and I’m bringing these babies with me. Fight me.”

This quickly becomes fact when Daisy handles so many issues in a short matter of time. She’s an efficient. A+++ worker.

Under a cut because I had too much fun with this.

Daisy and Donald briefly dated. They quickly realize they can’t handle their relationship while raising toddlers, so they end on friendly terms although they don’t keep in touch like they want to.

Daisy’s artwork gains the interest of Scrooge McDuck.

He needs a new painter. His old friend, Mr. Barks, past away some time ago, and he needs someone to paint all of these cool adventures he’s having with his family!

Daisy works in HR at the company and makes a fairly decent living. Could be she works for Flintheart Glomgold, but does artwork on the side for extra cash.

Daisy is 1000% done with HR business. She is a constant victim of TMI from her coworkers and employees. She has a 401K, great health and dental insurance, and annual is a beast when she decides to use it. She sucks up the pain,

She and the girls travel occasionally for vacation. Last out of city vacation was five years ago to Disney World.

Visits the House of Mouse semi-regularly. 

She still dated Minnie during college up to her senior year. They’re best friends still.

Glomgold is an ass, but is actually a decent boss under normal business situations. If you’re on an adventure though, he’s going to leave you to die if it benefits him.

“Glad to see the kraken failed in killing you sir. The board will be pleased.”

“Don’t let it choke you up, Ms. Duck!”

Daisy lived with her parents for a long time. A house/apartment wasn’t an option on her salary. At the time of the series’ start, she recently purchased a nice home for her parents, but her parents weren’t having it. Her parents now live with her instead of the other way around, and it works for them.

AMJ attend the same school as HDL, but they don’t hang in the same social circles.

Daisy is not nearly as protective of the girls as Donald is of the boys. Daisy grew up near Duckburg’s Industrial District in a small house, and definitely has a street kid mindset, or street adult?

Daisy and Donald meet again during a mission that involves Glomgold and Scrooge.

“What are you doing here, Daisy?”

“I’m here on a job. Can you tell Mr. Duck I’ll need an extension on that portrait?”

Daisy is a part of HR, and due to the Atlantis incident, the HR is on Glomgold. She’s there as an investigator.

“Mr. Glomgold, threatening to murder Scrooge McDuck and his family as part of a sinister agenda is not in our policy manual, and it promotes an unhealthy work environment.”

“Are you serious, Ms. Duck.”

“As serious as my niece is when selling her Little Chickadee cookies. Also, that time is coming up, and if you want the Snickerdoodle Delights this year...”

“They are?”

“Would you like some, sir?”

“…Sign me up for five boxes.”

“Make sure you fill out this form. Sign here and here.”

Oh yeah, Daisy is a cookie pusher at the office. Flintheart Glomgold hates buying those cookies, but they are absolutely delicious. He can’t actually buy out the Little Chickadees. He’s tried. They said no.

Daisy is not afraid of Flintheart Glomgold, and he knows it. She knows it too, and so they’ve got an unorthodox boss-employee relationship going on. 

She reminds him…, “I am not your secretary. I am the Associate Director of Human Resources.”

Yep, she was there when Glomgold hired Donald.

“Sir, Mr. Duck applied for the accountant position. It’s already been filled.”

“He’s going to be a sailor.”

“Mr. Duck attended an accredited program and passed the CPA exam with flying colors. You can’t believe he’s going to accept a sailor position at extremely low pay due to his Naval history.”

“Someone desperate for money will.”

“Is this a part of some pre-mediated scheme to become the richest duck of the world, and you’re going to use Scrooge McDuck’s nephew as leverage?”

“That is an oddly specific plan, Ms. Duck, and…no?”

“I certainly hope not, because it would be a shame if this made its way to the Board as well as my boss, The Director of Human Resources.”

Daisy is a 5th degree black belt in Aikido. It was her way of dealing with stress. It did a lot of good for her. A lot of good.

Donald asks Daisy out in the middle of a monster struggle.

“RIGHT NOW OF ALL TIMES, DONALD!” grips snack and whips around at bad guys

“BETTER LATE THAN EVER, AMIRIGHT?”

  Loses her absolute mind when a bad guy tears up April’s cookie order form, and shows Donald and everyone else why they should fear and respect Daisy Duck.

“YOU WORTHLESS LEATHER TOTE. GIVE ME BACK MY BABY’S COOKIE FORM.”

“Aye, where can I get her number?”

“Oi! Get your own Daisy Duck! She’s my secretary!”

“WELL, SHE’S MY PAINTER.”

“WHATEVER HE’S PAYING I’LL DOUBLE IT.”

“Mr. Glomgold, we both know you’re lying, and I am not…you know what, forget it. I’m taking annual today. PAID VACATION, do you hear me.”

Lowkey doesn’t want to admit how attracted she is to Donald, and finds tons of little faults before Minnie and Clarabelle admit that she’s got it bad. They exchange phone numbers.

“You are a human disaster, Donald Duck.”

“…Oh.”

“So am I. Half the time I’m too out of it to give a damn. Here’s my number. It’s good seeing you again, and the boys look great.”

“Aren’t they such good boys?”

“They really are. Huey is adorable! I’m sure he and my April will get along.”

Spoiler: They don’t. Well, not at first.

Donald and Daisy end up getting called to the principal’s office after a Woodchuck v. Chickadee debate went out of hand.

I’m coming at you with a little bit of something different today.

First off, the obligatory ‘this is not a sponsored post’ warning. Second off… this is a very womxn-centric post.

Today I wanted to talk about reusable period pads! Huzzah, I know! It’s a ‘taboo’ topic for many, which just goes to show what kind of sexist world we live in (why, oh why, do UK supermarkets place period products in a section they call ‘female hygiene’??), but I’m hoping that this post is helpful to anyone looking to make their monthly period more sustainable and, hey, even more comfortable!!

It wouldn’t be a blog post without a personal story so let me tell you about MY period, so that you have a heads up before I get into the actual thang.

When it comes to looking into new period products it’s obvious you have to take into consideration your own monthly cycle – how heavy is it? How long does it last? How do you feel?!

That last one, for me, is the most important. I don’t know if it’s getting older or just being more aware of myself, but over the last few years my emotions have been more trackable than ever. And with emotions comes feelings about my body and also comfort levels of what is on my body.

I generally have very varying cycle. I can have totally light months and months where it’s like a horror movie down there… tmi? Whatever! And I tend to be ‘on’ my period for 5-7 days (with my heavy day being day 2 and 3).

My usual go-to for period products is pads, because tampons make my body literally convulse. I can’t even think about it… *shudder* and despite my desire to reduce waste and try to be more sustainable it was only recently that I really thought about how awful regular period products are for the environment. I have seen diva/moon cups on the market for a while and I’ve mulled it over and realised if I can’t even think about tampons putting anything else up there is probably not a good idea!

I have also seen period pants like Thinx on the market but they’re expensive. Very expensive, if you ask me.

There’s the argument that, after a while, the cost would even out but I would need to spend hundreds on pants to cover my 7 day cycle… which is crazy.

So the magic that is social media must have known I was in the market for a change and served me some ads for reusable period pads.

A lot of the ones I saw were based in other countries, which I tend to avoid unless I am supporting friends businesses because of shipping costs and carbon footprint issues, but knowing that pads were an option gave me a good base for some Googling and I found a UK brand called Floating Lotus and they sell the pads (see the pics) that you just snap into your pants.

Now, I’ve only had to use them once since I bought them but I can honestly say they are amazing!

The first point is: comfort

I was a little bit worried that I would feel like I was wearing something very visible and very uncomfortable at a time when that’s the last thing I want but it wasn’t the case. Feeling a different type of material down there was strange for about 2 minutes and then I totally forgot.

Depending on the underwear I’m wearing the pads can move a bit so maybe twice I had to slid the pad one way or the other ever so slightly but it was no big deal.

Secondly, how much they hold?

In short; SO. MUCH.

I used to have to switch out a sanitary pad at least 4-5 times a day on a heavy day and on a regular to light flow day around 3 times. I used to think that my heavy days were really bad and let’s not even talk about the night on the 2nd day.

They’re the most absorbent thing in the world and there’s nothing messy about them. I don’t know about you but with regular pads and I’m sure tampons, the switch over can be messy and unsightly but the material of these pads means you never really see the blood? It’s like magic and I’m 99% sure that disposable products are actually designed to not hold a lot so you have to use more of them!

I would never go back.

Lastly, how easy they are to clean.

If you’ve been grossed out at any point of this post you’re not going to enjoy the next part! They’re easy to clean but you have to get ‘involved’. Because I’m gross I actually found this part pretty satisfying to be honest – before popping them into the wash (which is just a normal wash at about 40 degrees with similar colours (or if you’re like me, when you wash everything you own in one batch)), you have to give them a rinse under the tap with cold water. This is where you’ll see how much liquid they hold because you can hold these bad boys under the water and watch how it disappeared into the pad like it’s no big deal… like I said before, it’s like magic. You then get to give them a good squeeze and… well you can imagine the next part. Even better, once washed they dry incredibly quickly so you don’t have to wait long to reuse them if needed.

To cap it all off, they fold up nicely in a little water proof wash bag that comes with them, which is handy. All in all I am so impressed and so annoyed it took me this long to make the switch. Using disposable pads seems so awful and wasteful and gross compared to these so if you’re on the fence about it I’d suggest just going for it. These cost me £25 – as I went for the 6 pack with medium and large option – and so it will only take me about 3 months to break even based on how much I spent each month previously.

Let me know your thoughts and if you’ve made the switch over to sustainable period products.

Until next time!

[nylonsandlipstick]

Hi there, would you mind explain why you consider cc and tmi books problematic? I mean they are a somehow flat especially compare to tid/tda but I don’t think i would called them problematic. As for Claire I have hear people to complain about her in the past but always judging by her books I can’t see why. Now this not to say you are wrong or anything like that. I’m just curious on the matter.

Hi! First I’d like to thank you for being so polite in your ask! I know a lot of CC and TMI fans, even casual fans, can be very rude about anyone who views CC or TMI negatively.

So, I’ll start with the analytical book stuff and then go on to the author gossip so that you can have some legit criticism and then read the gossip-y stuff if you’d like and I’ll even direct you to some posts that explain certain things in better details and offer sources so that it doesn’t seem like I’m just offering a bunch of baseless rumors. Also, be warned, I write long analytical posts as I have no chill lol so this post is going to be rather long even though I'll try to cut to the chase.

The Mortal Instruments books aren’t the best books I’ve ever read, not even by a long shot, but the plot itself isn’t problematic. While I don’t like how the books come off more as a series of events strung together by a halfhearted central plot with rather bland and one-dimensional characters, it’s not those things that make the books problematic but rather the characters and the way Clare handles them.

Let’s start with Clary since she’s the main character. She’s rather bland and just really whiny (not a character I disliked or liked, she kind of feels…there) but what makes her problematic is just how she seems to hate all female characters that are prettier than her and could be possible love-interests for Jace. The books give her a weird relationship with Izzy but it’s nowhere near a friendship. She’ll spend so much time kind of side-eyeing Izzy and judging Izzy for how she dresses and basically slut-shaming Izzy and it’s not even because Clary doesn’t like girls that dress like that and sleep around but rather just because she believes that Izzy is a main contender in the competition of winning over Jace. One thing I don’t like that Clare did was play on that stupid trope of girls only seeing each other as competition for a guy (we even see a bit of that in TID with Tessa immediately viewing Jessie as competition for Will but, thankfully, moving past that quickly as she understands that Jessie has no interest in either Will or Jem for that matter). I also really disliked that Clary uses Simon during that godforsaken faux incest plot just to make Jace jealous (which is so wrong on so many levels, but I’ll get to the incest later). Clary also used Alec’s sexuality as leverage against him which is so wrong (Alec’s reaction to Clary realizing his sexuality wasn’t great either).

I think Clare just doesn’t know how to make good female characters in the first place as she makes Izzy super bad too. She’s written as a character that’s supposed to be a slut in no uncertain terms, and that’s just so bad. It’s not like Clare even tries to make it so that Izzy is super comfortable in her body and everyone accepts her because the way she dresses doesn’t make for her intelligence and her ability to fight (which we all know she’s good at). Clare just makes Izzy a pretty face with nothing but boys and how to dress provocatively on her mind, which I don’t think is necessarily bad, if it weren’t for the fact that Clare makes those things out to be bad. I absolutely adore female characters that love dressing up and love constantly dating and don’t care much for fighting if they’re properly developed because I’m so tired of the “I hate dresses and makeup and I’m not like other girls, I’m one of the guys” female characters that are just so annoying at this point. Clare just acts like being feminine and being comfortable in your body are such bad things when that’s not supposed to be true at all. And Izzy really isn’t even there as an actual main character but rather to make Clary seem like the better of the two girls because she’s not what Izzy supposedly represents (femininity and sexuality) and eventually only there as Simon’s love interest (so to further a male character’s love story).

So, as of now, Clare really isn’t seeming like the feminist she claims she is as she not only poorly represents her female characters, she uses them to further male story-lines and there is a huge difference in the female to male ratio in the series (the story is honestly so male-dominated and there’s no balance in female and male characters whatsoever, e are about three main female characters with a dozen of main male characters).

Jace really isn’t problematic in his characterization like Clary or in what he does aside from the faux incest subplot. He’s definitely unlikable and a total Bad Boy trope with untapped potential for being an amazing multi-dimensional character and has an unnecessarily complicated backstory but that’s not really bad outside of writing-wise. So, because I really don’t want to push it off anymore, I’m going to talk about the incest subplot. First of all, incest should very much not be used as some sort of obstacle a couple has to go through to prove their love for each other or whatever. Anything else would have been better, even having Izzy as a legitimate love interest for Jace would have been better. I found it just so uncomfortable having to read through that Seelie Court scene. And the fact that Jace and Clary continued to have feelings for each other and didn’t even try to squash their feelings down and try to see each other as full-blooded siblings just made it all worse. I was so relieved when Valentine admitted that he pretended to be Jace’s father (again, the unnecessarily complicated backstory)…then almost threw up when Sebastian came in and showed romantic interest in his own sister. I understand that Sebastian is supposed to be creepy and unlikable, but, damn, Clare could have done without the incest subplot. It makes it all more irksome that Sebastian is very aware that Clary is his full-blooded sister and yet he still somehow can’t control his feelings for her? The only time I want to see any incest in any form is in an episode of Law & Order: SVU where the main detectives spend the entire episode denouncing incest and calling it wrong in every aspect.

One of the bigger problems I had in the series was Alec. So that you know, I do not like Alec at all, and don’t care for him. Just because Matthew Daddario plays him in the show doesn’t mean I suddenly like show!Alec over book!Alec (although show!Alec has some redeemable traits). I don’t like him at all, period. That way you know that my criticism about Alec isn’t because “Well show!Alec is better and book!Alec this and that, and Matthew plays him which makes him so much better” as I’ve seen a lot of people do. Matthew seems like a kind and likable dude, but I cannot just get behind Alec at all. Aside from being such a stoic and bland character (I don’t really do serious characters, they’re not very fun and they remain rather static throughout stories which is boring), Alec is such a gross character and such a poor excuse for homosexual representation. I think it’s so sad that Clare made her only gay (male homosexual, I only specify since gay is used as a blanket term a lot of the times) character so unlikable and very biphobic. Not only does Alec threaten bodily harm to Clary so that she doesn’t reveal his sexuality (which is a huge no-no, that’s a terrible way to handle a closeted character’s anxiety over coming out), when Alec’s sexuality is finally revealed, it’s in Simon’s point of view which is just so…ugh. Alec is such a huge slut-shamer too; he’s right on par with Clary. He spends so much time egging Magnus about his past relationships and acting like Magnus, a hundred-something years old man, would never have had any relationship before Alec at all. What makes Alec’s slut-shaming so much worse is that it always points back to Magnus’s bisexuality. As a bisexual myself, I hate seeing people slut-shaming us bisexuals (when we’re not being out right ignored, that is) because we go both ways. It’s as if a heterosexual or homosexual isn’t as likely to cheat or be sexually promiscuous at all. It’s just so gross and uncomfortable and what made me absolutely despise Alec. And anyone, even a bisexual, who supports Alec’s biphobia because it’s “realistic” should remember that the Shadowhunter world is full of angels, demons, werewolves, vampires, and magical objects with few poc and lgbt+ characters; CC is far from realism at this point, she could have done without the biphobia.

Magnus isn’t perfect either as he’s so unnecessarily rude to Alec for not coming out quickly and basically attacking Alec for not admitting his sexuality to everyone. You’d think that Magnus, a bisexual man born in the nineteenth century, would understand that it would be difficult for Alec to come out as gay and that he should be so supportive of Alec and help him through it.

Racial/ethnic and sexual representation is at such a minimum and Clare just doesn’t seem to know how to handle her poc and lgbt+ characters properly at all. We have only four lgbt+ characters, one of which is biphobic (Alec), two whom are super minor and there to further other characters’ stories (Magnus and Aline), and one who doesn’t even appear much in general (Helen) and the only two lgbt+ relationships in the entire TMI series seem to have to go through so many obstacles that either the heterosexual relationships don’t have to go through or if they’re in a similar circumstance is easily resolved (like the immortality question for Malec is somehow unable to be resolved and actually made more difficult while Sizzy resolve the immortality question so quickly and easily). And as far as I can remember, most of the TMI characters are very white. The only non-white/ethnic representation we get are Simon (Jewish), Maia (biracial, black and white I believe), Aline (Chinese, if I remember correctly), Magnus (biracial, Indonesian and Dutch), and Jordan (ethnically and racially ambiguous). That’s five characters that I can remember from a very, very long list of characters. So, Clare isn’t much of a good white ally either.

Those are just some of my main problems with The Mortal Instruments books that I feel make them problematic. I know some people can pull out a lot more things I forgot as it’s been a while since I even touched those books. I understand that those books were her first ones to be published and writing changes (as seen in her other series), but Cassandra Clare as a person really does not seem to change.

I’m not as well versed in the problems with Cassandra Clare so I’ll link you to a couple of posts as I give my brief points that explain everything better and give sources (because in situations like these, sources are necessary so that you don’t come off as some Gossip Girl).

So, for Cassandra Clare, you’ll have to bare with me as she’s done a good amount of things that even I can’t keep straight and I’ll definitely miss out on some stuff.

She has a history of cyberbullying fans and continues to do so (x)

She tried to scam the fandom in something that’s called LaptopGate (x)

She plagiarized the hell out of other authors’ works and she won’t apologize for it and won’t even admit it (x)(x)

She seems to have a need for taking down anyone who tries point out her plagiarism/any problematic content her books have and then cries anti-bullying because she got hurt (x)

She’s was and still is hateful of the show (x)(x)(x)

She basically told a fan asking for positive Muslim representation that it won’t happen (x)

She claims that people dislike her because she’s a woman (x)

She claims that the reason why she couldn’t include much Malec (or LGBT+ rep in general) was because her publishing company was conservative which is a bald-faced lie (x)(x)

She tweeted about Magnus currently identifying as bisexual even though she headcanons him pansexual because he would date someone nonbinary which just goes to show her ignorance about sexuality (x)

I really recommend you go through the anti CC tag. There will definitely be a lot of negative things said as many people are angry at CC but you'll get a better understanding as to why people are mad and believe CC and TMI are problematic.

Just for the record, I will say that I am a fan of the books Clare writes. I really enjoyed The Infernal Devices (although I had a few problems with the series but most of them being plot-wise and not liking a few characters) and I’ve heard better things about The Dark Artifices (I’ve also heard it’s got a few problems with its representation but that it’s a step up from The Mortal Instruments). While I don’t agree with and dislike a lot of the things she’s done and written, I think the books are wonderful. I believe that it’s absolutely possible to enjoy a book or television series or movie or whatever and acknowledge that it’s problematic. And I will also say that while I like Shadowhunters better than The Mortal Instruments books, I don’t think that the show is flawless and free of problems. It’s still rather problematic with it’s use of stereotypes, whitewashing/scooting around the ethnicity of certain characters played by pocs (the Lightwood and Lewis families), sidelining of pocs, inherent homophobia (basically queerbaited with Malec and didn’t even show tons of scenes that would have been shown for a straight couple), and a few other problems. But the show is definitely a step up from the books. They really change a lot of things that just didn’t sit well with not only myself but a lot of the book readers and they also fix a ton of plot holes that were in the books.

Anyway, I digress. I really hope that you see this as actual criticism and not me just hating for the sake of hating. You can totally disagree with some of the things that I mentioned and view things differently than I do as that’s your right. But, anyway, I hope this explained things well!

Tmi/tw/an update

Had such strong cravings for alcohol/such strong urges to say "fuck my health, I'm already fucked, lets fucking lose all this weight you gained in recovery, buy some adderall and vodka and allllll the opiates in the world and at least enjoy however many shitty yrs you have left" except like ???? Okay, so my private insta kept !! Getting !! Fucking deleted !! Idk why, like yeahh i bitch about my drug problems and my mental illness but i have never shared a triggering picture? Meanwhile all these accts with people fkn shooting up are still up? Huh what a concept So anyway, i was thinking of making a side blog. Or i could just vent on here i guess but posting on my side blogs sounds safer. Damn. Been out of the Tumblr world for a while now. Anyway, since it's quite clear that I don't care about a fkn thing anymore... lemme give you all a lil update on the joke that is my life. This one's gonna be EPIC. So. Uh. First things first... I made it five days without any form of any opiate in my system. I did not eat anything in those 5 days. (Wanna lose weight?! Just get addicted to painkillers and develop crohns, then quit your painkillers cold turkey!!! You'll drop 10 lbs in a week!) I did not keep many fluids down, aside from the days when i was in the hospital. I was shitting and puking blood by the fourth day, because my body had nothing left in it to get out. I still smell like the stench of withdrawal - aka, overpowering body odor, desperation, sadness, guilt... etc. On the fourth day, my "stool" was nothing but black and blood.. I knew my potassium was low, not including sodium, etc. Was starting to get chest pains. Blah blah blah. IST was acting up. Whatever. I knew I had no choice but to go to my shitty hometown clinic (and... yeah i hate NOTHING more than that fucking place). Luckily, I got this cool 1st shift dr who appreciated my extensive knowledge of my esophageal and colonic conditions. She also gave me morphine. But I mean, 4mg through an IV is like... nothing. But.. that fucking rush. Whenever I get IV narcotics in hospitals, it's a nice reminder for me to forever stay tf away from needles. Anywhoooo Moving along. So i got some fluids/potassium, two of my veins are dead now (not even bc of drug use, as i stated above.. legitimately because I've had one too many IVs placed or wtf ever) so they had to stick me a million and one times and i was like :))))) yeahhhh keep causing more pain guys because ya know. I can just fucking take it obviously!!! And then.. this bitch drops the bomb that i realllyyyyy have been hoping was NOT true for like... ya know... a fucking year... that... okay fuck it, you guys all know i am a shit person anyway, lets add onto it.. anyway yeah. I have herpes. And my HPV is progressing. Still dunno about those cancerous cells bc no one tells ME ANYTHING but she said i have a severe pelvic infection that is travelling towards my liver. So they're like "lets do a REALLY intense course of antibiotics" and im like ??? Fucking a man im getting mad just writing this all out. Anyway i was like uhm. How tf am i supposed to keep down antibiotics when i CAN'T EVEN KEEP DOWN WATER THAT IS WHY I'M FUCKING HERE JFCCCC. And they were like "yeah we're aware but you legit do not have a choice" bc yeah, don't want my liver to go downhill (I've been such a lil fuck to my drs lately.... could not care less tho bc they deserve my bluntness) so i called my new case worker (she is super chill, super gay, lets me swear and call my drs fuckers as much as i want, which is dope) and basically explained, she said she's gonna try and get me back on subs legally so i can at least nourish myself and keep my health up (ill still be in pain but I'm learning that id rather have my body not slowly dying and be in pain... what a cool sacrifice. I also was like... "Hey yeah no hospital is gonna admit me rn... and my health is worse now than it was in '14 when i weighed 60 lbs less so like... I'm going to use street subs. Or opiates in general. For a few days. So i can get my electrolytes back somehow... also did i mention i have herpes? *bawling ensues* anywhooo... Just thought I'd let you know." And she was like "Fair enough. You need to eat." And i was like okay cool tell my dr and his bitchy nurse that usually replies to my messages bc i do not need anymore fucking stigma rn .. okay? Tyvm" so that was.. that i guess. So yeah. I used. On day 5. And... i didn't even truly fucking want to. That's the worst fucking part of this whole fucked up bullshit... I WANT TO PROVE EVERYONE WRONG AND SHOW THEM THAT I CAN DO THIS. And i could have. If it wasn't for my poor health... i fucking could have. And I'm gonna tell that to my pdoc when I see him. But you know what? I fucking ate. I kept down a loooottttt of liquids. Opiate wds technically cannot kill you. And the thing is... I've been through the "near fatal" ones (booze and benzos)... but I always caught my alcohol dts super fast, got treated and then away i went. But no. Opiate withdrawals will not be dangerous~~~..... to a person who is in decent health. I say decent bc lbs if you're using them either legally or illegally, something is already prob wrong lol. I remember a story that my ex sponsor who is now a good but distant friend (who relapsed, and when she relapsed, we became close lol shes sober now tho dw) told me once about opiate dts... she said one of her friends was so dehydrated, malnourished, etc... that he almost did die. And it took him almost dying for anyone to take him seriously. And, as I was laying in that miserable hospital bed... I remembered that. Opiate wds cannot kill you, but you're gonna wanna a) kill yourself, because it's honestly fucking easier that way (or so your mind will tell you) and b) if you're in poor health... try and find a detox center/hospital that will take you. ASAP. On tuesday... fuck i lost my train of thought... (in other news, i now have a promethazine script and... boy oh boy lol probably the best non naroticc/not scjeduled drug I've ever gotten my grubby lil hands on)... yeah idk that's all I publicly got rn. If you actually read all this... 👀 @ you, Ashley, bc ik you're the only one who reads my shit on here anymore (love you for that, btw 💜)... but yeah if you read this all, you guys are the real MVPs... I'm gonna start using one of my private blogs on here. Mainly because..welll...its fucking private and also really enjoy the fact that i saved the URL "clonqz3pain" so... yeah that's all I got. Hope you all are doing better than me.

I was tagged in two tag things to get to know someone better, so I’m going to answer them in one post. Thanks for tagging me @meags09​ and @occulant​ (btw, did you unfollow me or is tumblr being a mess again?)

I think I did a similar thing to this first one before, so I’m going to copy some of my answers that haven’t changed. I don’t want to have to think about my three favourite anythings again, it’s too hard.

Relationship Status: Single/forever alone.

Lipstick or Chapstick: Chapstick, literally constantly. I like the idea of lipstick but I haven’t been able to find one that works yet. I do have chapstick with a little colour though and lip colour butter whatever stick thingies that I feel like are somewhere inbetween, maybe?

Last Movie You Watched: I think it was The Hobbit?

Last Song You Listened To: I’m listening to the Skam playlist on spotify again. Run Boy Run by Woodkid just ended.

Top Three Shows/Dramas/Animes: Friends, Gilmore Girls, Buffy. See, here three is fine, anything more than that, that’s where the crisis starts. Or should I answer all three? I don’t know the difference between show and drama? What? And I watched Animes as a kid but haven’t in forever. I liked Sailor Moon and Pokemon and Detective Conan and Kamikaze Kaito Jeanne and more. And a ton of children shows on german tv that were japanese but I don’t know if those count as animes? I’m doing this all wrong. Moving on now.

Top Three Favourite Characters: Buffy Summers, Lorelai Gilmore, Pacey Witter.

Top Three Ships: Pacey & Joey, Jamie & Claire, last time I split the third spot, but this time I’m giving it to Isak & Even.

Second one:

Nickname:  I don’t really have one. It used to be Mari back in school, and it’s always funny/weird to get together with friends from school because some of them still call me that.

Zodiac sign: Taurus

Height: 1,60 m or something like that.

Last Thing You Googled: Loreal Colorista because I bought that stuff last week and tried it today. On that note: My hair is very slightly pink today and I like it!

Favourite music artist: I never know how to answer this. I don’t think I have one. But besides norwegian hiphop, I’ve been listening a lot (a lot) to Troye Sivan lately, also Hamilton and Halsey. Special shoutout to Kettcar who, in my opinion, have some the best german and some of my favourite lyrics.

Song stuck in my head: Well, I’m listening to music right now, so nothing at the moment. This morning I kept singing “Nobody said it was easy” by Coldplay though (no idea where that came from) and I’m pretty sure there was another one I can’t remember right now. Hamilton probably definitely.

Last Movie you watched: The Hobbit.

What are you wearing right now: A white/blue/purple t-shirt, black jacket, grey sweatpants, purple “Sunday” socks and purple/white/black striped warm socks. My underwear has sheeps on them, no bra. And a blanket. tmi? nope.

Why did you choose your URL: I had another one before, for like two days, but it wasn’t good and I guess I was watching Dawson’s Creek and Pacey Witter’s Hero Complex was on display and I realized that’s a good one and i still love it.

Do you have any other blogs: On tumblr? Nope. I’m the living embodiment of those “no sideblogs, we spam our followers with our current obsession like real men do” posts. #sorrynotsorry

What Did Your Last Relationship Teach You: Guess who’s trying real hard not to feel weird about not having been in one yet?

Religious Or Spiritual: Probably neither, if I think about what I associate with those words without looking at a definition? If I had to choose, probably more religious? Only because spiritual sounds even more unlikely.

Favourite Colour: I don’t really have one. Blue? But I like lots of other colours, too.

Average Hours Of Sleep: It used to be around 8. Since I started working I’m lucky if I get 6 or a little more? It’s really really bad. And then on the weekend I try to catch up a little on sleep without messing up that rhythm again. It’s working too well. I’m always tired.

Lucky Number: I don’t have one of these either? 18, because that’s my birthday.

Favourite characters: I’ll stick with the three I mentioned above. If I start naming more, I’ll never stop. I love all my babies.

How Many Blankets Do you Sleep With: It’s been cold again, so currently 3, but two doubled up, so 5 layers.

Dream Job: If only I knew that. It would be nice if someone paid me to read books and watch tv but I haven’t found that yet. At a publishing house maybe?

Oh right, I have to tag people. I’m going to tag @meags09 and @occulant to answer the questions in the other list. I also tag @ksfd89, @sonhoedesrazao, @mrs-storm-andrews, @icanteven21, @annademac and @phandooms who can pick one or do both or neither, whatever you want, basically.
