additional thoughts re my last reblog: I think another reason I like "touch me and she'll kill you" better is that it defies the gender expectations a bit. for so long you only saw the man being the big strong protective one in media, and the woman was the damsel in distress who needed his rescuing, and now it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth, so I'm kinda wary of the "touch her and die" trope for that reason. it's not automatically bad, and can be executed well, but it can still often lean into the "she's just a fragile little woman she needs me to protect her" territory and I emphatically hate that. I find it works best when it's mutual.

I think I do want to be rescued actually. I have been rescuing myself for so fucking long, it would be really nice if someone saw that I was struggling and actually did something about it. I am hyper independent, I don't think I could ask for help if there was a gun to my head. I'm in therapy for that shit. But I am getting really tired of everyone around me blatantly ignoring that I need help in the first place. If help were offered I think I could take it, which is the type of progress therapy has achieved so far but no one is even offering. I'm exhausted, I need a break, I need rest, I need to have the world taken off my shoulders for a time. So yeah being rescued would be great. It would mean someone saw me as human. I don't think people see me as human anymore. I am either on such a high pedestal that they can't conceive of offering me help or I am so far beneath them that they don't even see me. I am no longer human in their eyes and I'm not sure which version is worse.

Bring on prince charming. Bring on the noble knight. At this point I don't care. I would just love if someone even tried.

I’m terribly sorry, especially to my lovely @tired-teacher-blog. We talked over a month ago about my spring rut Hawks fic and I swear on my life it’s almost done, I’ve been quite indisposed with doctors appointments and tests and life. I wanna put it uo already but I’m also trying to get done this spring cleaning I finally have the time to do now that doctors aren’t a constant right now and once this place is cleaned up, I’ll be more settled in my mind and more at peace.

But it IS coming because I never thought I did angst very well, especially long term relationship angst, and I’m feeling pretty proud if myself with this one. I truly hope you and anyone else who reads it likes it 😌.

And I absolutely am ass over tits for him in this one, too. I can’t help myself, goddamn it 😣

Am I the only one who doesn't think that 60s era Doctor Who's trend/themes of 'protect women' isnt sexist?

Most of the complaints I see about 60s Who sexism, and the male characters of that era is largely due to the men being like 'girls stay back.' But a) there is nothing inherently sexist about that imo? Men protecting women is the most healthy masculine thing possible. And b) when the women are like 'no lol' the men are like 'okay fine let's go' and respect their decisions on the whole.

Like that isn't sexism? That's just recognising men and women are different?

RIP all the pathetic twink babygirl wet cat sweetie pie blorbos who get all their competent attributes decimated in favor of giving them a big strong hero type to be shipped with.

Don't know what it is with people thinking because Jayce didn't complain hard enough that he didn't want to be a councilor means he wanted to be in a political position in the first place.

The argument is that Jayce is an adult man who can make decisions, which is very true! But we're talking about your city's government basically appointing you as a politician despite you clearly not wanting it. But you're scared to complain BECAUSE it is your city's government.

Jayce is a little peacock, he does unironically enjoy the spotlight and praise that comes from it. There is an allure to being in a position of power for that reason, but Jayce was not ready nor wanted any of the responsibilities that came with it.

I feel like we all forget that act 2-3 took place in a span of a couple days and that's literally how long Jayce was a councilor before he quit because he hated it.
