#i hope it’s a treat!!

[kasienda]

trick or treat!

Okay, so when I finished Would Trust You With Everything and I got DJWifi and Ladynoir back to a place of understanding, I was like I feel in this universe these four would never stop loving each other and was toying with the idea of writing a sequel that was OT4!! But I didn’t really come up with any plot or arc. But I did write this scene!! Which I loved!! Don’t know if I will ever do anything with it.

…

“Gah! I want to kiss you right now!” Alya

Nino frowned. “Don’t think either of our partners would be down for that.”

“Nah. Marinette would totally be okay with it.”

“W-what? Really?!”

“Yeah, she kinda thinks that you and I never should have broken up, and has stated to me more than once that she’s totally willing to share.”

Nino pressed his lips together. Adrien would probably be super insecure about sharing and Nino would respect that boundary if it killed him. “Does Marinette know about your alter-ego?”

Her eyes narrowed. “Nino, I know you’re not fishing past my boundaries.”

He held his hands up. “Marinette is Ladybug, isn’t she?” Nino

“I have no idea what you’re talking about.” Alya

Nino snorted. “Sure you don’t.”

“Damnit Nino. Now we have to tell her you know.”

“I don’t mind telling her. Figure she could use another vent person. What are the chances we could convince her to tell Adrien as well?”

If Adrien got Ladybug out of it, maybe he would be willing to share.

“Probably zero.”

He sighed. “What about getting her to tell Chat Noir?”

“Negative fifty.”

“What?! What is her deal with him?” Nino felt indignant on his boyfriend’s behalf and less interested in sharing.

“Nothing!” Alya said defensively. “She loves him so much!”

“Loves?” Nino echoed.

“She’d deny it for sure. I think that’s why she won’t tell him. She’s afraid she’ll care about him even more than she already does.”

“Would that be so bad? He deserves all the love.”

Alya turned to him. “Adrien is Chat Noir, isn’t he?”

“No comment.”

“Fuck, Nino. We’re all so stupid.”

“Pretty much. Guess we have to tell Adrien that you figured him out.”

“What are the chances he would be willing to share his identity with Marinette?”

“One hundred percent. Two hundred if we sold him on Ladybug instead.”

ngl im not even a superman fan. i just REALLY like clark kent,,, (thank you, Smallville, for that.)

[snarkspawn]

based ofc on this

[inkskinned]

the thing about some men is that they want you to remember, at all times, that you are underneath them. that with one word or look or "joke", you will stay beneath them. that even "exceptions" to the rule are not true exceptions - the commonly cited statistic that one in eight men believe they could win against serena williams.

women's gymnastics is often not seen as real gymnastics. whatever the fuck non-euclidian horrors rhythmic gymnasts are capable of, it's often tamped down as being not a sport. some of the most dominant athletes in the world are women. nobody watches women's soccer. despite years of dancing and being built like a fucking brick, men always assume they're faster and stronger than i am. you wouldn't like what happens when they are incorrect. once while drunk at a guy's house i won a held-plank challenge by a solid minute. the party was over after that - he became exceedingly violent.

what i mean is that you can be perfect, and they still think you're ... lacking, somehow. i hope you understand i'm trying to express a neutral statement when i say: taylor swift was the possibly the most patriarchy-palatable, straight-down-the-line woman we could churn out. she is white, conventionally attractive, usually pretty mild in personality. say what you will about her (and you should, she's a billionaire, she can handle it), but a few things seem to be true about her: 1. she can write a damn catchy song, and 2. the eras tour truly was a massive commercial success and was also genuinely an impressive feat of human athleticism and performance.

i don't know if she deserves the title of "woman of the year," i'm not debating that in this post. what i am saying is that she was named Woman of The Year, and then an untalented man got onstage at the golden globes and made fun of her for attending her boyfriend's football games. what i am saying is that this woman altered local economies - and her dating life is still being made into a "harmless" punchline. the camera panned, greedy, over to her downing a full glass of champagne. congratulations taylor! you are woman of the year! but you are a woman. even her.

fuck, man. write better material.

a guy gets onstage at a college graduation and despite the fact like half the crowd is made up of women, he spends a significant proportion of it warning these people - who spent possibly hundreds of thousands of dollars on their education - that they were lied to. that the "real" meaning of femininity is motherhood. that they shouldn't rest on the laurels of that education-they-paid-for but instead throw it away to kneel at a man's heel. imagine that. sweating in your godawful polyester gown (that you also had to pay for!), fresh out of 4 years of pushing yourself ever-harder: and some guy you've never met - who knows nothing about you - he reminds you this "win" is a pyrrhic one at best. you really shouldn't consider yourself that extraordinary. you're still a woman, even after years of study.

god forbid you are not a pretty woman, but if you are pretty, you must be dumb. god forbid you are not ablebodied or white or cis or straight or good at swallowing. you must be beneath a man, or else they are not a man. the equation for masculinity seems to just be: that which is not a woman or womanly (god forbid). anything "feminine" is thereby anathema. to engage in "feminine" things such as therapy, getting a hug from a friend, or crying - it is giving up ones manhood. therefore women need to be put in their place to ensure that masculinity is protected.

this is something i have struggled to explain to terfs - they are not doing the work of feminism, but rather the patriarchy. by asserting that women and men must be (on some secret level) oppositional and in conflict, they also assume that being a woman is akin to being another species. but bigotry does not stem from observational truths or clarity - that is what makes it bigotry. there was nothing in my childhood that made me fundamentally different from my brother. we are treated differently nonetheless. to assert there is some biological drive that enforces my gender role is to assert that women have a gendered role. men do not see women as equal to them not because of biological reality - but instead because the core tenant of the patriarchy is that women aren't full, realized people.

we are told from a very young age to excuse misbehavior as a single man's choice - not all men. it is not all men, just that one guy. all women are gold-digging bitches who belong in the kitchen - but if a man is mean, bigoted, or violent to you, it's just that particular guy, and that means nothing about men-as-a-whole. it is only one guy who got mad when you gently rejected him. it is only one guy who warns her this trophy is heavy, are you sure you can hold it? it is only one guy who smashes her face into the cake. it is only one guy talking into a mic about hating our bodily autonomy.

i have just found that they often wait until the moment we actually seem to be upstaging them. you sit in a meeting where you're presenting your own findings and he says get me a coffee? or you run to the end of the marathon and are about to finish first and he pushes your kids out in front of you. you win the chess game and they make some comment akin to well, you're ugly away. we can be the billionaire and get the dream life and finally fucking do it and yet! still! they have this strange, visceral urge to say well actually, if you think you're so great -

it's not one just one guy. it's one in eight.

Funny how things sometimes need only a spark to spiral further than you ever thought it would

I am not lying when I say that I can't stop thinking about this.

on principle opposed to describing art i dislike as 'masturbatory' because even though it's an alluringly contemptuous word to sneer it's impossible to reconcile with my pro-masturbation stance

girl experiences gender euphoria and is immediately slammed by grief

for @litttlittt <3. this was supposed to be a portrait of caroline hill, but litta mentioned tim looking like janet when dressed as caroline and identity issues and angst and things spiraled

something about tim not knowing if he's his mother's child or bruce's or neither's.

figuring out the looks:

i wanted janet to have that poofy 70s hair
