Domestic violence needs more attention

I see a lot of anti-hate posts, for example posts against racism, and able-ism, and sexism, and I'm not saying these aren't true, and shouldn't be acknowledged, I'm saying I don't see enough about domestic and parental violence. Now, that might just be because of my followed tags, but still.

Domestic violence often goes unreported, (usually) for one of 3 reasons

The abused has no one to tell, or anywhere to go

The abused is afraid that if they tell someone, that someone won't do anything, OR tell a superior, or a person of authority who then brings it up with the abuser(s), and their abuser(s) will find out, and will punish them for it

The abused doesn't have enough confidence, self-worth, and/or is too afraid to tell the authorities Seriously. this topic needs to be discussed more. I haven't seen anyone, not News channels, not Social medias, no Articles, nobody, talk about this.

Solas and Mythal’s relationship is that perfect blend of fucked up and tragic I have been wanting from them for a decade. The mother and her child, the two lovers, a queen and a general, the dog and its master, the servant and the lord. Love it. I knew I sensed fuckery with the way solas talked about her despite ‘burning her off his face’. Then to see him shrinking up in front of her, how he groaned ‘mythal’ in dread and even began to hold the dagger out towards her to take bc he knows he’ll do anything for her if she asks. man needs therapy for his absolutely disastrous and problematic situationship thank you for letting me watch your traumas unfold like that king

talking about the overlap between fizz and barbie backstory-wise made me retroactively notice that blitz and moxxie both have greedy physically abusive fathers who forced them into amoral things they didn't want to do (ok edit: arguably amoral steal from the rich who cares but the writers want you to see it as not nice) and silent deceased mothers, the only parent they had a good relationship with, they are also both estranged from the family business and changed a portion of their name (blitz removing the o/moxxie changing his last name) as a result

this is a story featuring magical demon characters, your writing possibilities should be practically limitless. how are we already reusing elements like this within your main cast. we're just under 2 seasons in. oh. my god

do u have a normal relationship with your mother or do you have to imagine yourself violently murdering her mid conversation in order to cope with her presence after everything she's done

There's so many layers to Ygraine s2e8.

Uther was Arthur's mother's killer, Arthur's father but also Arthur's de facto mother after Ygraine's death.

Meeting Ygraine is the first and only time Arthur gets to see Uther for what he really is - a father and a murderer rather than his whole parental unit wrapped up in one person. For the first and only time, Arthur gets to know his actual origins - he is a creature made of magic. It's what runs through his blood, making him closer to any Druid child massacred on a raid than the knights that he led. It's the first (and arguably the only) time Arthur recognizes he can break away from Uther - and tries to.

Not with a pithy "I am not you, father" or an angry argument on morality but with the rage of the son of a murdered mother - an abused child finally physically and psychologically capable of inflicting violence on their abuser.

To be clear - that's unbelievable and terrifying for anyone with a moderately healthy relationship with their parents.

Merlin sees Arthur's attack on Uther through that lens.

He also sees Arthur as the man who'll evolve into what he thinks the Once and Future King should be - just, kind, merciful, egalitarian, always seeking peace over war, returner of magic.

When Merlin says he didn't stop Arthur for Uther, what he means is he did it for Arthur and the Arthur he is certain will one day exist. Merlin is also more comfortable with lying than being honest. His whole identity has become wrapped up in serving and protecting Arthur - "I was born to be your servant."

Using magic to stop Arthur, an obvious option, would go against both his instinct to lie, save his own life (and protect his identity - which can't risk the ego death that would come from not being Arthur's servant, protector, friend. His unwillingness to alter his relationship with Arthur or see him hurt means in s2e8 Merlin has to cut Arthur's growth off at its knees - change requires some form of suffering and Merlin loves Arthur enough to die for him but not enough to risk the suffering of living without him.

brought myself to tears thinking about luo binghe and his loneliness. during all the worst times of his life, he was alone. when his mother died, he had no one. when he was being abused on qing jing, he had ning yingying but there wasn't much she could do for him. in the abyss, he was alone. when he was grieving sqq for five years, he had subordinates but he didn't have anyone to hold him and comfort him

and it's that loneliness and isolation that xin mo capitalizes on. those feelings of loneliness and isolation make his self esteem worse and his emotional state more unstable, because deep down is a miserable and lonely child that wants to be held and comforted and love

luckily for him, all shen qingqiu wants is to hold him and comfort him and make him feel loved! I think post-canon, they'll spend a long time confronting those wounds left by loneliness, except now instead of having to bear it alone, sqq will be there to hold him in his arms and tell him I'm sorry you were hurting, I'm sorry you were alone, you never should have gone through that. and there's the promise that he won't ever have to be alone again because that's the promise sqq made to him. from now on, wherever binghe goes, shen qingqiu will follow

enough of 'this character is an asshole because their parents are abusive!!' we need to stop pushing the idea that abusive parents are the only asshole-making trauma that exist. sometimes the trauma can be from a grief or loss that changes you deeply, to the point where everything else stops looking like it's worth being treasured. sometimes the rudeness can be from being so jaded at a world that keeps kicking you when you're down, to the point that it's either fight back or just take it. sometimes the parents aren't outright cruel or abusive but divorced,

INTERFACING - You let the empty bottle go. Upon contact with the ground it shatters into pieces that scatter, joining its intact brothers on the cold linoleum of your kitchen floor.

YOU - It'll hurt.

HALF LIGHT - Of course it will. Do not jump down from this countertop. You will cut yourself and bleed out through the soles of your feet.

INLAND EMPIRE - That's not what he meant.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY - What then, the hangover?

PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT - The shoulder?

VOLITION - The failure?

LOGIC - The resetting of the timer? Going back to day zero...

YOU - No.

ESPRIT DE CORPS - The idea of letting Kim know that he could not protect you from this. It rips a hole in your stomach for all to see.

YOU - But who else could I tell?

[VOLITION: Impossible] - Call Jean

[PAIN THRESHOLD: Challenging] - Call Kim

[ELECTROCHEMISTRY: Easy] - …

Someone pissed me off a couple of days ago

So! Below are several links to programs and foundations that promote adult literacy! Hundreds of millions of adults world wide were failed by their education system and now must fend for themselves while trying to read contracts and hospital bills and infographics from the CDC. But they don't have to be alone, and it is never too late to learn!

ProLiteracy: A network of educators, researchers, and advocates which provides research reports, learning materials, and other support to adult education programs. They assist with connecting volunteers to local programs and provide guidance and support to community leaders trying to use their programs' findings to advocate for social and political change.

Adult Literacy League: An adult education program in Central Florida, which aims to provide students with one on one attention to foster growth and confidence. It also offers English Second Language courses and job skills training, and each new student receives a comprehensive assessment to determine the best plan for them.

Saint Vincent and Sarah Fisher Center's Foundational Skills Program: A 100% free adult education program aimed at adults reading below a fifth grade level. It operates year round and is either in person or remote, and they now have a GED testing center that is open to students and the public alike.

Washtenaw Literacy: A free network of trained tutors for adults in Washtenaw County, Michigan.

Adult Learning Program (Las Vegas/Clark County): Free education classes to those lacking a high school diploma, those seeking to learn ESL, and adults who read below an eighth grade level. Also assists in students' search for gainful employment. Nevada got so fucked by COVID and the education/literacy numbers in the South West are grim. Please help these guys.

Hawaii Literacy: In addition to helping adult residents of Hawaii Island learn to read and write AND bridging the education gap in Hawaii's underserved children, they offer computer literacy classes, ESL classes, and a bookmobile. 1 in 6 Hawaiian adults struggle to read and write.

all im saying is theres no way someone lives the first 18 years of their life like that and isnt mentally ill. that doesnt stop her, though

its hard to give any criticism of helluva boss a flicker of consideration because 99 percent of the times its just I hate the creator they're sexist/homphobic to women? its not developed much but what about Vag/Charlie? they do exist as a lesbian couple.. and really no one was developed much in s1.. it was more plot focused than character focused.

but its bad writing because they don't write stellas as a victim when its obvious she is the real victim because cheating is always bad and abuse is excusable when the man cheats on you. 99 percent of criciism i notice is I hate STolas I hate Viz.. she hates women. (I myself could never forgive cheating but i also wouldnt abuse my husband either. Stella was a shitty wife thats just facts)

but thats not criticism. its a feeling of hate towards the fictional male character and the creator..

It be like me saying I hate Beatrice Horseman and so its bad that she was given a sympathic backstory and the craetor supprts mothers abusing their kids in real life. ergo bojack is a terrible show. cancel the creator.. . which would be riduclous to claim .

Loona/Via/ Stella/Millie are lacking in character development ... it was given all to Stolas/Blitz/Fizz and i can get being annoyed that the women lack development cause they do. but they're not bad Women.. they're good woman and people want to say viz hates women when she has one Female Villian and like 5 male villians

most criticism alwas boils down to I hate Viz/Stolas.. which just isnt criticism.
