“catelyn’s mistreatment of jon is wildly exaggerated within the fandom” and “jon’s childhood trauma is heavily based in catelyn’s resentment towards him” and “catelyn and jon are both victims of a dysfunctional family dynamic” are statements that can all coexist btw

"Gaetz's path was mired by a series of allegations of sexual misconduct, including sex with a minor. On Thursday, NBC News learned from a source familiar that the House Ethics Committee, which had been investigating Gaetz, was told that a 17-year-old girl had two sexual encounters with the Florida Republican at a 2017 party.

The description of the second encounter was included in her testimony to the House Ethics Committee as well as a deposition in a related civil lawsuit. The second sexual encounter included another adult woman, according to a source familiar."

i hate the trope of a straight couple, usually teenagers, where the guy is about to meet the girl's parents, and her dad is the weirdly overprotective kind.

it's supposed to be endearing but it just comes off as controlling and not trusting his daughter's judgement, and also bullying a teen boy for no reason.

fr gen x love to randomly tell you in heavy detail about the toe-curling horrific horror movie level child abuse/neglect they suffered at the hands of their parents

Been having some thoughts about an "Alastor accidentally(?) gets Ella Enchanted cursed by the owner of his soul" idea.

Writing snippet under the cut for: LEAKS SPOILERS (specifically Alastor's dealmaker) and CHILD ABUSE.

I'm prolly gonna get anon hate or whatever for this and while I don't want to fill more in the drama, this is something that can be applied in outlast characters in general

Is Franco a victim? Yes. Is Franco also an abuser? Yes. He's both. This is what some people fail to realize.

The main outlast point is that a victim can turn into an abuser, especially in the hands of evil corporations that are willing to make them worse for the sake of money. Franco didn't know any better? That can be true because he grew up in a criminal family. BUT ALSO, were his crimes all justified? Absolutely not. There is no justification for his actions, especially his misogynism. And this is an example of "An abused victim grows into an abuser". He's basically repeating the neverending cycle of the Barbi family; being a criminal. You can understand he didn't know how to not be a criminal, but at the same time, you can't justify it.

Now, let's talk about "He's just a fictional character" because this statement is ironic if you are pro-fiction, but at the same time harassing a real person for the sake of a fictional character. While it's true that all outlast characters are not real, the way you see their action reflects on your moral compass.

This is what I have been saying, simping on the child-abuser ventriloquist, a man-baby killer mafia, or a racist misogynist cop does not reflect your moral compass because they are not real, and most of the time the simping was thanks to their design and charm. HOWEVER, condoning their behavior does reflect your moral compass. You are not supposed to justify or allow their behavior. This is what liking a fictional character privilege has. Unlike a real person, you can still like them without condoning their behavior. This is why liking fictional killers is okay, but liking real killers is a big no-no.

In the end, every outlast villain is problematic on their own. And the majority of them are victims. But this does not excuse their crimes, because while their crimes are in the game, it does show how you see it in real life.

A/N: Here to contribute to (what I could already assume is) the massive amount of Eddie Gluskin content in this fanbase. These are mostly just for fun and to flesh out how I would like to portray our lovely Groom! I hope you all enjoy!

C/W: While I don't go into graphic detail, there are brief mentions of Childhood Abuse/CSA. Please proceed with caution!

General Eddie Gluskin Hcs:

╔═══━━━─── • ───━━━═══╗

Touch is a delicate matter with Eddie. If he’s the one initiating he’s absolutely fine; he has no qualms against hurting others, after all. However, he absolutely abhors being on the receiving end of it. Though it’s been long since his father and uncle were incarcerated, their abuse left Eddie adverse to even casual touch. He can still feel the ghosts of their half-assed attempts at “comfort” after they were done with him. No amount of bathing or scrubbing can wash away the damage. 

It’s better to give the man his space. 

If he wasn’t in the vocational block toiling away at the sewing machines, Eddie could be found within the recreation area. He can’t go often thanks to the fact that the security guards have to watch him like a hawk, but he enjoys the fresh air. It also helps that the grounds come with weight-lifting equipment. A man must maintain a peak physical form. And Eddie is a vain main.

Granted, Eddie dislikes going into the courtyard for the same reasons. He’s solitary by nature, and a lot of the patients flock to the place; desperate to have some form of distraction. It’s difficult to maintain his friendly demeanor around so many people for so long. 

However, he does cross paths with Frank Manera from time to time in the recreation block. The scragglier man offered to spot him one day while Eddie was weight-training, and the two of them had gotten along ever since.

Frank, naturally calm and lethargic in his movements, never set him off. Even if the cannibal’s hygiene habits leave much to be desired. However, Eddie is willing to overlook it. Besides, the man is surprisingly opinionated when it comes to stageplay costume design, and it was nice that Eddie can finally share an interest with someone else.

In addition to sewing and tailoring, Eddie naturally has a knack for drawing and pastels. He’d like to have a try at painting one day, but Murkoff is a bit stingy when it comes to art supplies. 

Though, on the other side of the spectrum, the man is hopeless when it comes to digital media. Sure, he could learn if he truly wanted to, but��� He truly doesn’t have the patience for it. Yes, sewing isn’t exactly the fastest, either, but it felt way better than just sitting in front of a computer screen trying to figure out how to make a website. He’ll get stir-crazy if he can’t occupy his hands. 

Usually will keep his needles and pins tucked within his teeth while he’s working. Whether or not he’s accidentally swallowed one, Eddie will never share. 

He absolutely has. His poor mother was in hysterics the first time it happened.

While he dreams of a white-picket fence with a wife and kids and a dog— he’s terribly allergic to dogs and cats. A fact he discovered the hard way with a neighbor’s schnauzer. Seven year old Eddie was crushed that day. 

Used to have longer hair when he was a child, but kept it cropped short thanks to his Father not wanting, in his words, “a queer for a son”

Stuck within the limbo of hating his mother and revering her. Mrs. Gluskin was a victim as well, and she did her best to provide her son with comfort; and if she invited him to tag along with her for errands, it meant he was safe for the day.

Yet all Eddie could focus on was how she cowered away and avoid looking into his eyes after his abusers were done with him; how she would turn up the TV when Eddie’s crying and shouts could be heard from the basement; how she refused to talk about what happened after his father and uncle were arrested. The years of resentment only grew worse thanks to Mr. Gluskin passing his misogyny onto Eddie. 

He may go on about how he wants to have a family, but Eddie is a little awkward around kids. He more so tends to treat them like little adults as opposed to children. It didn’t help that he never had many friends during childhood, so he has a tendency to stand there, frozen in place, while he watches a bunch of children run around. 

Doesn’t like having his picture taken. He hates having to force a smile for the camera, only to be met with how empty his eyes look in the end product.  

Do not ever take him clothes shopping unless you want to spend an entire day bickering with him. He’s quite critical over fabric quality and finding the “right” set of clothes that’ll flatter him. He’ll walk into the dressing rooms with a mountain of shirts and pants in one hand and end up leaving with only a single set of pants and a button up shirt. At least he neatly folds everything before placing it back on the return rack..

cult jokes are a symptom of and contribute to the simultaneous sensationalizing of cults (cults are all dark cloaks and animal sacrifices and devil worship and group suicide and despicable/unhinged beliefs) and diminishing of cults ("uwu come join my CULT XD we're gonna make cookies and WORSHIP SATAN teehee"), but i'm realizing how they go so hand-in-hand with the mindset of "only ~stupid/evil/crazy/etc.~ people could possibly join a cult. if it were me i would simply not fall for cult propaganda."

the diminishing part means that people don't take you seriously if you say you're an ex cult member or talk about your experiences in a cult or believe you are a current victim of a cult, because cults are just silly little groups that have weird beliefs but are otherwise innocuous. the sensationalizing part means people will also not take you seriously because if it was Actually a cult cult, that does harm and has evil beliefs, you should've known better because any reasonable person would have seen through it. the other side of "only an [xyz] person joins a cult" is "i am not an [xyz] person so i will never join a cult or be victim to propaganda and other cult tactics." the other side of "if it were me i would simply not fall for propaganda" is "someone falling for propaganda is fully a choice and a personal failing on their part." and combined they make: if you were [xyz] enough to join a cult and fall for propaganda, that means you deserved it.

people who would never make jokes about any other kind of abuse but feel perfectly fine making cult jokes used to kind of baffle me, because why is joking about personal abuse a problem but large-scale/group abuse is fine? why is it suddenly funny when you're the one that wants to perpetuate the abuse? but if your belief around cults is: "your experience wasn't that bad [diminishing], and if it was that bad [sensationalizing] it was your own fault and personal failing [i would simply not fall for propaganda], which means you deserved what you went through [only stupid/evil/crazy/etc people join cults]" and you don't understand how cults or cult tactics work, cult survivors/victims probably feel like a fair target for jokes (they are not, to be clear).
