Glad Spare Me Your Mercy threw in this line because "My Body, My Choice" isn't just about abortion. It's about death as well, and many people miss that connection.

If you believe abortion is an option, then you should advocate for euthanasia and vice versa. Life should not be a punishment for the living, and people associating anything other than life with murder is an ignorant view of what life truly means.

The director was not a bad man, but he wanted his partner to suffer until he naturally passed away, and, once again, that is selfish. Doctors intervene every day to bring people back from the edge of death, which is their job, but him believing Kan plays God by euthanizing his patients yet doesn't see him prolonging people's lives as the same is why he was never going to advocate for his patients.

#spare me your mercy #this show is doing everything right for me #especially the ethics #my body my choice is about bodily autonomy #and that extends to a lot of things people don't want to advocate for #but we need to fight for EVERYONE'S rights to make choices about their bodies #feminism helps everyone

When the only person who might understand what happened- understand. Not sympathize or empathize or comfort you but understand what happened, isn't there anymore. Or: 'A Man Made Me Do Something I Didn't Want To', for when you can't talk about it or look it in the eye [Patreon | Commissions]

#Tuvok #Kes #comix #idk how to tag this bc of the allusion #st voy #star trek voyager #bea art tag #comix page #star trek #this is not a one to one allegory nor is it meant to be - I am specifically focusing in on the loss of bodily autonomy that occurs when #Kes and Tuvok have their bodies taken over purposefully by men for various reasons which all boil to power. 'Because I could' and Because #they thought Kes or Tuvok wouldn't be able to stop them from doing so. Because they thought they had the power to do so so why wouldn't #they? But again this is not one to one - I interpret and will continue to interpret these instances in many different ways #But something that sticks with me in canon is how 'impervious' Tuvok is made - There is that scene at the end of Warlord which #shows that Kes is affected by what just happened to her - she's confused and hurt and doesn't know what to DO now that the in-the-moment #fight is over and it's time to just keep living and Tuvok comforts her but when he will go on to be taken over again and again and again #there will be no one to comfort him - no one HE can go to - and the narrative doesn't say that there should be. Even when he's #taken over by the BORG (an experience which had a lasting traumatic impact on characters like Seven or Picard - granted they were connected #for a lot longer) this is only mentioned offhandedly. One wonders why it occured at all. There's also how the other two main Vulcans #T'Pol and Spock - when they are forced to act emotionally or are in situations that affect their emotional equilibrium there is a big deal #made about it and they are hurt and ashamed and given some degree of care and comfort by those around them but when Tuvok #is forced into similar situations it is simply assumed he'll get over it - not even just by the other characters but the narrative itself #takes it for granted Ex: 'Workforce' where he forgets ALL his Vulcan training or 'Meld' where Suder's influence #unintentionally makes him lose it and try to kill him...THOUGH I think Suder hugging an unconscious Tuvok is perhaps the closest we get to #someone comforting Tuvok after he's been through that sort of ordeal. I'm not saying Tuvok would WANT others to be hugging him #and offering him emotional comfort etc (he's Vulcan) but I find it interesting that the narrative assumes that the black body (even alien)#is more 'durable' than its white counterparts. 'Stronger'. Assumes that there is no interiority which recoils and sustains the damage #when hurt. That there is nothing worth exploring because there is no impact from the impact. A crater lands and the Soil beneath it is #untouched

Sasha using the title "Lord" in RiAAU after taking over Toad Tower and presumably killing Grime and stealing Barrel's Warhammer from him, and other political and military leaders assuming she's a man because, well, Sasha is a gender neutral name, so they hear Lord Sasha and assume they're talking about an adult male toad warrior. The second most powerful person in the known world and only real threat to the Leviathan reign!

Cue princess Marcy fleeing Newtopia and her father seeking refuge with his worst enemy hoping to offer information and political levarage in exchange for protection, perhaps even offering herself in marriage to transfer eventual inheritances and whatnot, and she finds out that Lord Sasha is not, indeed, a dark and domineering toad warlord, but a beautiful, terrifying girl her age that looks like her and oh god her poor little lesbian heart can barely take it.

#amphibia #sasharcy #marcy wu #sasha waybright #my posts #raised in amphibia au #sasha and marcy are over here living in game of thrones while #anne is playing stardew valley with a mod that gives you ptds #Sasha being mistaken(? as a man being a common misunderstanding due to poor communication to the point potential allies don't believe her #unless she's carrying the hammer around herself #lord sasha with her two wives... nnhnhnn... one representing her alliance with the frogs of frog valley and possibly beyond depending on ho #she and her grandfather (current mayor of wartwood) play their cards #and the other in her sansa stark era (horrible violations of bodily autonomy involved) (not by sasha btw) trying to maintain alliances #with noble newt houses after betraying her father and eloping with the enemy #after learning The Truth^TM (which she's conveniently hiding from everyone else except maybe olivia and that's a big maybe)#cue some nice toad civil wars (the eastern and northern tower may support sasha but despite their less than friendly relationship #beatrix will NOT recognize this magical alien's victory over her dead brother. and my friend beatrix is not to be messed with)#anne having lots of self worth issues after her very morally questionable grandfather married her off to sasha for political reasons #marcy having. uh. green blood. and a weird metalic port in the back of her neck. her brain feels tingly when she touches it #and king andrias desperately fighting to crush this little frog valley rebellion and punish those to blame for the abduction of his daughte #edit: i meant ptsd. anne has ptsd from that time she may or may not have accidentally indirectly caused the death of sprig and polly's #parents at age 8 (they were her parents for 4 years. the only parents she remembers. she hasn't forgiven herself and deep down #neither has hop pop but we don't talk about it)

Mini rant below and in the tags, the only time I’ll talk about this and my personal take on it.

The way people talk about hypothetical male Anya on Twitter and the idea of how Mouthwashing would play out if the genders were swapped makes me remember how people still don’t take sexual assault and rape with male victims with the same gravity, especially when the perpetrator is female.

#not even gonna tag this cause I don’t want to start discourse in the tags but you can absolutely still explore the concepts of patriarchy #toxic masculinity misogyny and rape culture if the genders where swapped #like those concepts don’t disappear just because Anya is a boy now cause you have to think of all the ways it applies to male victims and #I just don’t understand why people keep getting angry when people facilitate different discussion the game opens you up to #like yes I get the frustration with not seeing the conversations you want but start them go find them why complain on other posts when #people are bringing attention to similar issues and the ways they are overlooked dismissed or blame the victim #I for one think we should have more basic clarifying conversations of SA rape cultures and how toxic masculinity and sexism create scenarios #like the Tulpar and enable men like Jimmy but I also can understand and enjoy the topic being expanded upon to include other cases on a #flipped scale like yes how male centered the fandom is is annoying considering the topic but seeing comments saying that SA isn’t as harmful #to men cause they can’t get pregnant is a whole can of worms you really need to unpack cause holy shit #like in this scenario if Jimmy is pregnant and can’t get rid of the baby Anya is the father yes Jimmy is pregnant but that’s because in this #swap she assaulted a man lied to either say it was consensual he forced himself on her or like canon panicked and semi admitted to forcing #him either way he is afraid to do anything because men do get blamed for defending themselves against women in these situations not to #mention the shaming that occurs because he is a man and should step up for the kids sake and likely be told he should be proud a girl wanted #him that much like yes you have to explain it more but bodily autonomy in this scenario is just as nuanced and I can’t believe I have to #defend something being male centered in a game where the rape of a woman is the catalyst just because people are saying SA for men #is not as damaging or degrading or harmful to autonomy as it is to a woman like how can you want conversations on rape culture and shut down #people bringing up other nuances in the conversation #like people are gonna jump around with it I know but if you only want to talk about one thing stay in that sphere like I just don’t get #going to another space especially one that isn’t even being weird or toxic and starting shit cause you don’t like it like the amount of #unnecessary and mean comments on normal art of think pieces I’ve seen on Twitter is crazy like it’s stupid callout shit for the sake of just #not liking something like I’m seeing so much screen shotting and vague posting like just at the bitch and fight about it like it’s still a #relatively small fandom ur just asking for in fighting on like the few things we shouldn’t have to worry about #as a victim my self and who has been in other situations and being afab I just can’t understand the vitriol toward this sort of discussion #mouthwashing #actually I will tag this cause you can explore the themes in mouthwashing still stop being freaks and just block bitches ong

#Takashi Shirogane #Shiro #You're nothingness but shining and everywhere at once.#Coran Hieronymus Wimbleton Smythe #Sam Holt #Veronica McClain #Voltron: Legendary Defender #Mine.#All I want is to fly with queue.#Just...#Shiro lost SO much.#His long-term boyfriend who he was planning on marrying.#His freedom.#His bodily autonomy.#His identity.#His LIFE!!!!#AND his position as Black Paladin and Defender of the Universe- which gave him a sense of purpose.#He got back to Earth to find that his ex was killed #robbing him of any chance at proper closure over the end of their relationship #and had no one waiting to welcome him other than one of his superior officers.#I hate a lot about what the IGF-Atlas and Shiro's promotion to Captain of it represents for his place in the show's narrative.#Giving him his own ship was an easy way to sequester him and Coran off with the other 'boring' adult side-characters #essentially demoting the two of them to that status after they had been vital components of Team Voltron as the only proper adults with all #of the knowledge and experience their juniors lacked.#It's stupid and shitty and I sincerely hate it.#But Shiro DESERVED THIS.#Especially because he never in a million years anticipated it.#He fully expects someone to object and proclaim that he's unworthy because of his age or his brain or his arm.#But no one does.#Like Sam says-- the Atlas is SHIRO'S ship.

also idk i am not entirely sold on the pervasive usage of bodies to refer to people? like. as a woman. as a bisexual person. so, from my personal point of view i would not like to keep othering myself and refer to my personhood as Body. having lived through long periods of suffering with body dysmorphia and eating disorders i would like to acknowledge that i am first and foremost a Person, and obviously to me that's a definition that's capable of rounding up Body and Mind in one singular harmonizing word... almost as if one's sense of self came from both! recognizing the body and bodies and body issues is crucial. but i would like to be referred to as a Person

#i think that the fight for bodily autonomy is fought with real actions and not by calling everyone who is not a cis man Body.#but that's just me

c2 is a psychological horror story

#eyes and fate and time and the loss of autonomy. amnesia and knowing too much and being. so alone in the end #screaming clawing fights in the dark. autonomy. autonomy.#unstable magic and hours-long ambushes and. bodily autonomy and the loss of #veth and yasha and caleb and molly and lucien and. hags. and strange gods. the cold and the dark and the iloveyoucomeback #i love you. come back. jester says to not-molly. astrid says to not-bren though not in as many words #oh yeah the fucking child death #very few of the m9 are not outright robbed of will and self-recognition do you think about it i fucking think about it all the time

would it be a season finale if Max didn’t attempt murder??? the answer is no. not one bit.

#my murder child is thriving with big wet sad eyes and sheepish smile #he is babygirl coded #to the point the murderous intent is just charming and endearing #insert something about how children raised to not value their own life or the lives of those judged by the group to be irrelevant to #and something about how instilling a rage in a child by never giving them bodily autonomy leads to an adult ‘monster’ who fights back in #a vicious rage #put in the fact all three murders (or attempted cause flint lived) are people who threaten his bodily autonomy and life #and something about him letting only women get away with that #ones he loves however complexly #and yeah he’s got mommy issues? what if it #roswell new mexico #max evans

if you can, i highly encourage you to interact with fan artists of all formats, including fic authors, because even apart from that being really really nice for the artists, it's also good for you on a personal/selfish level !! it's a win-win situation !!

because let me tell you, there's a rush like no other when you finally get your shit together and comment on a fic that you've been rereading for years and the author responds (!) and tells you "That is an incredibly high compliment" (!!) and gives you a bit of insight into how they conceptualise the character (!!!) . like. oh my god i'm doing it i'm getting a good grade in Fandom

(engaging with fan art of all formats will also greatly increase fan artists' energy + desire to continue doing fan art, which, again, win-win situation !!)

#you can tell that i am still new to actually ENGAGING with fandom lmao #lmaster37 posts #fandom general #the author in question is inkpot_demigod (ao3) btw and you should check them out if u're even vaguely into pathologic #actually scratch that you should check them out regardless #hoo boy their kinktobers have got me considering kinks i would never have given a second glance before #personal recs of their fics atm:#daniil in wonderland (horny alice in wonderland fusion; delightful if you enjoy a fair dose of strange in your smut)#tastes as sweet (daniil and lara confess their feelings to artemy on the same day; the three of them figure it out; v cute v domestic)#janus by blood (ough such a good vampire fic ahh. honestly don't remember whether this even had smut?#mostly there's a lot of dealing with such a complete violation of bodily autonomy while fighting the plague. ie not having a lot of time)#tongues of the gorkhon (mermaid AU but. like. the kind with lots and lots of teeth)#it hurts to become (FANTASTIC inquisitor!daniil AU. what if i was completely alone in my role where there were supposed to be three.#what if you were part of The Powers That Be against whom you've struggled so much.#god i am so so weak for the way they write daniil and this is a particularly fun thought to play around with)#however what you should ABSOLUTELY read even if u don't know patho is Trading Life and Death (<- fic that inspired the above exchange)#it's vampire!daniil x werewolf!artemy (always an inspired dynamic) and it's so so good #and also by god is it hot #uhh check warnings/tags for every fic obv #this is patho so. horror/issues of every kind galore #sorry i am just so so stoked about this #praying that they don't see this tho bc i would die on the spot afksadkad #they're genuinely one of my top 3 fic authors

I like watching medical dramas but they all always have patients who refuse care and instead of the episode narrative being respecting bodily autonomy regardless of personal belief it’s “oh my god I have to save them!” and it’s just so intellectually lazy

#g talks #and these are also shows that have whole episodes dedicated to bodily autonomy when it comes to abortions etc #but the second a patient refuses care #those same doctors that fought for the abortion case is now doing a whole ass 180°#and instead fighting for them to be declared incompetent so they can force treatment #mine #/mobile #/okay to reblog

if you guys wanted to hear a true essay on viktor arcane you would not like what i had to say

#hooray yaoi hooray but also. grabs you. the complete bastardization of his arc in s2 is enough to make me want to eat nails #where's the viktor that dug into his skin and mutilated himself at a chance of becoming more machine than human so his body would coexist #with his mind huh. where's the viktor that got yucky with it and then was so guilty he almsot killed himself bc he accidentally eviscerated #his assistant #i loveeee his glorious evolution design i love the eldritch horror of it all but c'mon. vik was a bastard in s1 give me him back #altho we do see it with the whole partners scene in act 3... I DIGRESS. i digress. i just hookfighhh i do nawt like how they reduced his #character and downplayed his emotions a lot in s2 hexcore or not like erm. you're telling me the guy who has been fighting for bodily #autonomy the entire show suddenly has no autonomy over himself anymore ? hm ? ?? ?#Anyway.

*points to the "fight undivided or not at all" sign*

#When Biden won #conservatives blamed the left #Now all I'm seeing is the left blaming each other. Our fight isn't for people who didn't “campaign more”#or hell. even for people who didn't vote #it's for people who genuinely believe the right to bodily autonomy shouldn't exist for people they don't believe are people.#That's who we need to face our anger at right now.#us politics #usa politics #politics
