Hi, was wondering about what you thought of this post and the replies it got.

I think they're not necessarily wrong that cops and similar institutions would seek out crossdressers and perceived trans people who weren't dressing indecently but labeled it so just because they morally were opposed to it and wanted to arrest them. Those in power always control the norms about what is considered deviant behavior, such as what critical theories in sociology dig into. I won't argue that that didn't happen and trans and crossdressers were unfairly targeted for things that weren't actually related to kink. My historical background on this stuff isn't solid, though, but the trans community nowadays seems like a 180 difference from how it was just decades ago. But either way, the amount of crossdressers or trans people who actually were a part of the LGB movements was barely noticeable enough to say they were the most important and staunch allies towards LGB rights movements that we must in present day allow creeps, pervs, and general depravity to be associated with LGB pride and our celebrations under the gauze of "kink belongs at pride because there's a history of allyship". Like...barely, my dude, barely. If you squint. The present day trans movement is not at all recognizable to whatever was happening back then though I can probably put my two cents on that without much googling.

"If you genuinely can't stand the sight of leather harnesses and bodysuits, either leave the kids at home or stay home." Crazy how, like, that's not at all what Pride is about lmao. "If you can't stand kink, nudity, and other sexual things at your celebration of same sex rights and love just stay home and let the heterosexuals and creeps take over your celebration instead!" Yeah I have absolutely noooo idea why acceptance of LGB people has gone in the last decade or so. None at all. Has nothing to do with hets and pervs overtaking the movement. Nope.

It sucks because I'm sure most of us aren't like prudes and have ultra conservative views on sex in general, but it's shit like this that always forces our hands to sound like we are because no, kink doesn't belong at Pride. It's not related to LGB rights at all. There are lines that can be crossed in public because, shocker, public decency norms exist and in America at least many people do not want to be exposed to sexual kinks or outfits, children present or not, but certainly it's uncomfortable for children to be around that shit.

"You are ERASING the fact that there is history of allyship among the S/M community and queer folk." and you are rewriting over LGB history with false memories you planted to try and give yourself a foundation to try and make LGB people feel guilty enough to allow you to bring kink shit into public spaces meant to celebrate them. there's nothing to erase because there's barely anything on the paper. But most LGB people nowadays seem to quickly inclined to defer to these people because all they do is scream "we helped you, you worthless queers wouldn't be anywhere without us. we're allies" if we're allies why do you wish to stomp over everything that Pride was initially about just to make you feel more "welcomed". if we're allies why do you want the public to view us as sexual deviants instead of normal people celebrating normal expressions of love in non-sexualized ways? Pride is always going to be political, it's not just a fun parade for the hell of it. LGB people are always still fighting for public recognition as regular people in society who just so happen to love the same sex. It's difficult to garner basis for our rights when the public sees Pride like a giant block party filled with corporate sponsors and men in sex gear who can't wait to get their dicks out in front of others. Like, yeah, that's gonna help us. Thanks guys. Really feeling the allyship.

Art reqeust(if you do any) and question

1. Art request(if you do any): Dawn embarrassed of her parents being romanticly adorable together or her, adult years, accidentally finding her parents in bed during 🔞time

2. Question: how did the other deadly sins react to Dawn being "born"?

JFYI I don't normally do requests, only when I also really like an offered idea! Please, anyone who reads this, you're free to send in requests but be warned that there's no guarantee that I'll do it :') my adhd just isn't built for that <3

anyways~

this idea seemed funny af so I defo wanted to give it a shot lmfao

Alastor not checking the phone he'd begrudgingly accepted after Dawn came into their lives is a recurring and frequent issue lmfao

As for your question...

I'm ngl I don't really think abt the sins much skdjhfsdk

I feel like Bee would first crack some kind of joke about never expecting her niece to get THAT drunk (she's not actually Charlie's aunt, but she's loved calling herself that since she was "born" so it's become a habit) but would then want to spoil Dawn stupid with sweets and toys. I also think she would occasionally send care packages to the hotel and Charlie might at some point have to tell her to hella cool down on those bc it's getting way too much, especially with Rosie's contributions as well lmfao

Asmodeus I feel would be as emotional as he would be smitten with Dawn, he loved Babysitting Charlie when she was a baby so this is very nostalgic to him, and I can also see him being fascinated about how she'd come to be, knowing how much it took for Lucifer and Lilith to have Charlie all those decades ago. He would also 100% send a million photos and selfies with her to Fizz lmfao

Mammon I feel would immediately smell a financial opportunity and repeatedly offer to babysit, but Charlie always declines no matter how stressed she gets bc Mammon would just try to make Dawn go viral online with some crazy set up video for maximum drama and/or cuteness impact and turn her into some marketable icon to profit off of lmao

Since we haven't yet met any of the other sins I can't really come up with anything regarding them ^^"

I finally read the Lux comic, and why didn't anyway say that Lux wasn't going to save Sylas' life at his execution! That really recontextualizes everything I've vaguely heard about Lux and her story. I always assumed that Sylas was going to be executed because Demacia made him serve a sentence before carrying out the death penalty when he accidentally killed 3 people when he was like 12. Turns out Tianna Crownguard (Lux's aunt) had his execution arranged just to avoid SUSPICION that Lux was associating with him. On top of that, some other Crownguard (I think Tianna's husband) arrested Sylas when he was a kid.

I have no idea if the writer thought about the comic as a story of agency and how class affects your ability to execute that agency. You've got people like the Crownguards, a noble family of such wealth and prestige that practically no one can turn down their requests. Despite all the power they wield they don't really help anyone except themselves, and that includes Lux. Lux is so afraid of being exposed as a mage and bringing shame to her family that she doesn't do anything of substance for the shared plight of mages.

Meanwhile you've got Sylas, lowborn as can be, and who's had majority of his life at the mercy of Demacia's unjust laws actively fighting to wrest control over his life even if he has to steal other's agency. Sylas doesn't wait for Lux to save him in a way that matters, because she won't. He chooses to save himself and all the other imprisoned mages when he knows no one else will. Sylas' actions expose Lux as a mage to society, and while the walls close in on her, Lux finally chooses to take action and help her fellow mages. The story sounds far more interesting if the framing and execution of if all wasn't... very typical of Riot writers.

Oh yeah, I don't know if people remember this but the Kamukura Project took multiple surgeries in canon, so I followed that idea for this AU...

For my idea of how it went down: some of the surgeries were spaced out to allow Freddy to heal, so the doctors could wake him up and check their progress. Seeing if they were actually going in the right direction, making sure they didn't accidentally fuck up any important functions, checking if Freddy still had his memories, the like. So there were actually brief periods in between his first and last surgery in which Freddy was conscious and aware of the fact that he was slowly being eroded, but couldn't do anything to escape his situation, because the doctors would quickly sedate him before he got the chance to plan anything or even attempt to escape. Thankfully, because of how jumbled his brain was during that time, he doesn't remember all that post canon (he doesn't need even more trauma).

But of course, doing brain surgery on a guy over and over again is kind of risky, which is why they were worried he wouldn't survive it. In fact, this is why he was chosen for the project- like in canon, the initial test subjects were all from the Reserve Course, but all of them died before getting any results. So the best course of action for the school was to try it with an Ultimate Lucky Student, to see if their luck would be enough to keep them alive! Freddy is so lucky he gets to live through all the literal torture the school inflicted upon him :)

For after the Last Battle and the overthrow of Morgoth, when the Valar gave Elros and Elrond a choice to belong either to the kin of the Eldar or to the king of Men, it was Elros who voyaged over sea to Númenor following the star of Eärendil; whereas Elrond remained among the Elves and carried on the lineage of King Elwë.

Note 19 - And also that of Turgon; though he preferred that of Elwë, who was not under the ban that was laid on the Exiles.

- Problem of Ros, HoME XII

Every once in a while I remember this passage and am sent spiralling into the orbit.

Elrond saw the disaster that were the Noldor and went 'nope, I am staying out of that drama. Sindar, here I come' and he's so valid for it. Living up to the as wise as a wizard. He looks at the elven side of his family tree, goes 'do you think I am stupid' and chooses the least problematic branch.

(Randomly conversing with my sister regarding my chronic sore neck)

Me: Gotta find me a man who can give good neck massages. That’s the new goal.

Sister: (laughing) Well, should be pretty easy then if that’s your only criteria!

Me: (having a revelation) No, wait! He has to be gentle and tender enough to give a good neck massage, and kind and love me enough to give me free neck massages. That’s actually a great measure! The real trick is I’d have to trust him enough to let him give me a neck massage.

Sister: There you go! Find a guy you trust to give you good free neck massages and you’re set!
