one of the things about being an educator is that you hear what parents want their kids to be able to do a lot. they want their kid to be an astronaut or a ballerina or a politician. they want them to get off that damn phone. be better about socializing. stop spending so much time indoors. learn to control their own temper. to just "fucking listen", which means to be obedient.
one of the things i learned in my pedagogy classes is that it's almost always easier to roleplay how you want someone to act. it's almost always easier to explain why a rule exists, rather than simply setting the rule and demanding adherence.
i want my kids to be kind. i want them to ask me what book they should read next, and i want to read that book with them so we can discuss it. i want my kid to be able to tell me hey that hurt my feelings without worrying i'll punish them. i want my kid to be proud of small things and come running up to me to tell me about them. i want them to say "nah, i get why this rule exists, but i get to hate it" and know that i don't need them to be grateful-for-the-roof-overhead while washing the dishes. i want them to teach me things. i want them to say - this isn't safe. i'm calling my mom and getting out of this. i want them to hear me apologize when i do fuck up; and i want them to want to come home.
the other day a parent was telling me she didn't understand why her kid "just got so angry." this woman had flown off the handle at me.
my dad - traditional catholic that he is - resents my sentiment of "gentle parenting". he says they'll grow up spoiled, horrible, pretentious. granola, he spits.
i am going to be kind to them. i am going to set the example, i think. and whatever they choose become in the meantime - i'm going to love them for it.

I don't want to fight but who am I kidding I definitely want to fight. (Not in actual fighting ways its a tumblr poll about fictional characters its fine)
In what "intangible ways" does LXC support JGY that SMS does not? Other than LXC being a real Lan and having more credibility than upstart Su She?
(I'm adding a read more this got loooong sorry i promise i don't hate lxc or anything really!)
Upstart Su She who tanks his own credibility in order to protect JGY.
"Smear my name if you must, but how dare you slander Lianfang-zun!"
In fact LXC's suspicion of JGY is shown throughout the narrative, he defends the idea of his innocence, but he makes it clear he wants to find the truth and won't let JGY get away with murder and the like. LXC's suspicions and promises of impartiality are followed up multiple times with SMS defending him.
Lan Xichen asks Jin Guangyao to open the secret chamber during the secret afterparty scene and is rebuked only by Su She.
The jade token scene after LXC is shown the collection of turmoil reinforces that his distrust of JGY isn't just a lie told to LWJ and WWX
"If he is truly false I will not tolerate it."
It immediately leads into the second siege of the burial mounds. The scene where SMS goes from the 'bury and unbury your bodies' friend to the 'is actively gonna raze the world for you' friend.
JGY goes to LXC to protect him from his own fallout and finds whatever else he wants, LXC has made his decision. He can't look to LXC to protect him, but he has already gone to SMS. If that's who he looks to to protect him in such a way, why should he not feel supported by him? Because a lot of the relationship is 'offscreen' doesn't mean it isn't clearly there. As soon as JGY finds out even a little bit about what's happened with NMJ's body and somebody trying to take him down, he *has no doubts in going to SMS to defend him*. And SMS does without even a hint of suspicion or regret. All of JGY's secrets? Yeah he knows.
And sure, yeah part of that is that JGY cares about LXC and doesn't want to implicate him in bad things. Another part is that JGY cares about LXC and doesn't want him to know the less good parts of himself. Another part is that he just doesn't think LXC would be okay with things JGY has done. And he's right!
You can say JGY shows all of himself to SMS because he doesn't care about him as much as LXC. He's fairly willing to let him die after all, let alone doing all these terrible things. But you can't say SMS himself doesn't see all of JGY and love him and protect him and support him in all he is and all he does. That's just not true. He does. LXC doesn't. JGY's own feelings don't change that. I'm sure he'd love LXC to support him just as well regardless but that's just not what we see.
Then there is Guanyin Temple.
"[Jin Guangyao] fell to the ground...In his stead it was Su She who started to scream. There was a split second when Lan Xichen looked like he wanted to go over and support Jin Guangyao, but in the end, he didn't dare move."
Where LXC does, temporarily, listen to the woes JGY presents him with. Yet, he tells us he does not trust JGY, JGY lies, he tells other characters not to listen to JGY. He says not to call him Er-Ge. He attacks SMS when SMS is trying to flee with JGY. He leaves JGY alive but silenced and is tricked into stabbing JGY through the heart. Tricked, yes, but I don't know how to say better that SMS would never.
During JGY's explanation to LXC, WWX has to kick SMS down to stop him from trying to get to JGY. He saves JGY from the poisoning attempt, opens the medicine bottle for him, treats his wounds
"Su She is so condescending toward everyone, and especially resentful of Lan Zhan. But he treats Jin Guangyao with such respect"
tearing off his own robe to bandage JGY's wounds while JGY is bleeding out and while LXC is not. SMS *pleads with LXC to help*
"Sect Leader Lan! Sect Leader Lan, do you have any remedies? Please help. Sect Leader Jin has always treated you with courtesy."
SMS carries JGY on his back to help him escape the temple. He fights FC!NMJ. The last thing he does is to entrust JGY to LXC, the only person who could possibly protect him and the only saving grace is he doesn't live long enough to see LXC stab JGY!
"Su She's brilliance had only lasted a moment. He didn't even have time to cough up blood or say any respectable or ruthless last words before the life in his eyes was instantly snuffed out."
One of them dies to protect JGY and the other one, as I have reiterated, stabs him! In the heart! Fatally! I-- No. I do not want to fight.
Let JGY say it. "Su Minshan went this far to repay my kindness simply because I remembered his name. But you, Zewu-jun, Sect Leader Lan... Just like Nie Mingjue you cannot tolerate me... You won't even give me a way to live!"
(I'm using the Seven Seas translation but like "you refuse to spare me even a single breath of life" goes way harder unfortunately.)

So I've been seeing a lot of will solace hate, and I'm here to defend my son.
First of all, he's not a toxic person at all he's a human who can mess up at times and be unintentionally rude, like in that one scene boo where he says
‘Oh, please.’ Will sounded unusually angry. ‘Nobody at Camp Half-Blood ever pushed you away. You have friends – or at least people who would like to be your friend. You pushed yourself away. If you’d get your head out of that brooding cloud of yours for once –
^ that is rude but he didn't have bad intentions because according to him nico wasn't scary and the people that he hung out with - Lou Ellen and Cecil- didn't think that nico was scary either as they were both friendly towards him when they met him at the Roman camping area outside chb so while his delivery wasn't good he meant no harm and he also helped nico realize that not everyone hates him and then there are a few jokes that he made that people consider toxic or offensive but nico was never offended or sad about these jokes he only rolled his eyes and acted exasperated so he knew will meant no harm .
Will is canonically described as a laid-back and calm person, but he is also stubborn when it comes to certain things like medical related things which is understandable since he can feel everything physically wrong with a person by just touching them and is persistent that they don't die and Take care of themselves which is understandable since he saw majority of his siblings die and doesn't want more ppl to die .
Will is actually quite a complex character he's calm and laid back but he's stubborn and strict when he needs to be he's supportive and loving to nico but since he's a kid he struggles with being understanding sometimes hence why he asks persephone for advice on how to be there for nico properly showing that he's mature enough to ask for help . He's also someone represses his emotions because he thinks that as head counselor, he has to be a perfect example, and he told this apollo in the 1st toa book. He's also pretty insecure about his abilities, as shown in boo
Evidence:
You did,’ confirmed Nico. ‘But it was the way you did it. You made it clear that you wanted me around. You said you wanted me to come to the infirmary and help, because … because you could use a “friendly face”.’
‘It was true. And you did help.’
‘You brought me closer instead of rejecting me,’ Nico said, his voice cracking. ‘I’d never been called a friendly face. Ever. You made me rethink everything – my place in camp, my crush on Percy, my future. It took you scolding me like you were the camp director to make me realize that I was … wanted.
___
But with Nico … It’s hard, Persephone. I want the best for him, and he seems to disappear into his darkness, like he’s hiding in a place where he doesn’t want my light.’
‘Then why not offer him your darkness
_____
Nico sighed in exasperation. He hated working with other people. They were always cramping his style, making him uncomfortable. And Will Solace … Nico revised his impression of the son of Apollo. He’d always thought of Will as easygoing and laid back. Apparently, he could also be stubborn and aggravating
_______________________________________
In conclusion will isn't toxic and he isn't perfect and if I'm wrong about something please point it out cause I haven't read the books in a while and if I missed something please point it out and I'm sorry for the typos I wrote this without wearing my glasses as 3 am after studying for a test

i feel like the fandom has collectively forgotten that lance has canonically missed 14 days of school by faking a stomach ache when he was in third grade. This means he tricked his parents, teachers, and goddamn pediatrician for two weeks. Two. Fucking. Weeks. when he was EIGHT.

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

can't believe people are saying Eddie is abusive/a bad friend to buck.. are we watching the same show? im genuinely confused... ur telling me that the man who waited until he had confirmation that Buck was okay after getting SHOT in the SHOULDER BY A BIG ASS FUCKING BULLET from a SNIPER before passing out is a bad friend... okay. The same man who climbed up the ladder with no safety gear or backup to retrieve Bucks dangling body and perform cpr on him for over 3 minutes. but no he totally treats buck like shit and wants to see him hurt ur so right how did i not see that... I'll tell you what sherlock holmes.. you are unbelievable 👍🏾

I just remembered something. Not sure if I remember it correctly but I'm gonna share it anyways 😂.
I'm pretty sure I watched a YT video a long time ago of a therapist watching the Mileven bedroom fight from s4. I don't believe he had much, if any, context. And he said that Mike was trying his best to reassure El until she brought up him not saying I love you, and then he got defensive. And I remember him also saying that he was impressed by his attempt to comfort El because he's a teenage boy and usually they aren't really good at being empathetic. And he also said him not being able to say I love you is actually a pretty common thing for couples their age and he wasn't surprised that Mike got so defensive over it.
So a therapist -- someone who knows human behavior better than the average person -- said that Mike did an overall good job during the confrontation for a teenage boy.
Now adding all the trauma onto that, I'd say Mike did a pretty dang good job. Just wanted to share this 😂.

"There are moments where [Juan] manipulates other people in a similar the way they’ve been manipulating him. The scene between Jeremy and myself with the dagger is a last ditch frantic attempt at trying to win [Rodrigo] over." Do you think Juan was genuine in the knife scene? Do you think he would have killed himself? "Yeah I think so. He always does what is true inside him...It wasn’t simply about the eventual confrontation, but all about the richness of this twisted family make-up."

*takes you by the hand as gently as I can*
You can dislike Maya without turning her into a one dimensional villain that serves no purpose to the story.
You can dislike Maya without disparaging the story and message the show is trying to convey.
You can hate Maya without moralizing your hatred. You can just hate her. It’s okay.
#i hear the sunspot#hidamari ga kikoeru#im just so tired of people shitting all over maya because she’s not perfect#she is complex and nuanced and maybe if given more than. oh i don’t know. one episode? we will see the complexity and nuance that is there#we had 7 episodes to learn about how kohei handles losing his hearing and he was offered grace#and i need you all to understand that i also don’t fucking like maya#she is an unlikable character#but thats kind of the point#but everyone’s reaction to her just proves her incorrect point about how people treat others with disabilities#yall can just say she’s unlikable without saying she’s pointless and why is she even friends with kohei anyway#yall can just say she’s unlikable without questioning the entire show#i’m gonna need everyone to take a minute and just think. think about how young she is. think about what she is actively losing#think about WHY she is behaving this way before jumping down her throat because she isn’t the perfect disabled person#and genuinely i want you to sit with my next question for a minute. just sit with it. i don’t need to know your answer#whether its yes or no that is between you and yourself#but i need you guys to think#would you hate maya this much if her gender was swapped?#would you have the same issues with how she’s acting if she were a boy instead of a girl?#again i don’t need to know your answer#but if you think your answer might be no…i want you to examine that#anyway that’s all. be careful how you approach me in talking about this btw. cause i have had it with the treatment of maya#i don’t want to defend characters i don’t like but some of the takes i’ve seen are just plain wild y’all
