#i think it should be a basic human right for everyone to be baby girl. and if they're afraid to be baby girl they should examine that.

[sciderman]

Sci why is every big male superhero secretly submissive or submissive-leaning? Peter is into Gwen, MJ an Fel, who are assertive, headstrong leading types who treat Pete as a total babygirl. Same with Wolverine who's canon kinky sub. Same for Batman who's main love interest is often canon dominatrix based on her previous work. Superman is into Lois Lane who definetly tops. And there's MORE!

um, well first off, who isn't into that

[foldingfittedsheets]

A basic human skill that people usually lock down around the age of three or four is impulse control. To conceptualize an action and it’s consequences before taking it. Maybe considering how that action affects other people. We then refine it through most of our childhood.

When I was a teenager my hold on this ability became… tenuous. I became a volatile and dangerous creature.

It’s probably not unique to me, but I had a perfect storm in terms of mental upsets. I had just mastered enough basic social skills, so I finally had a strong group of friends when my dad suddenly needed to move for work. Ripped away from my support network, blooming with hormones, I was dragged to Arizona. I was always a child of forests and mist and suddenly everything was hot, dry, and extremely pointy and aggressive.

Additionally to being abruptly transplanted I found myself an object of affection in a way I’d never been before. Lonely and desperate to make friends the only people who wanted to spend time with me had romantic designs. I just wanted to figure out my shit but I had a baby lesbian flirting with increasing aggression in art, a soft boy making heart eyes at me in biology, a senior nerd asking if I wanted to play Halo at his house and could he hold my hand?

Reader, I snapped. I didn’t want this romantic attention but I also didn’t want to be alone. My brain coped the only way it knew how, by simply cutting out decision making. Any action was the right action to take.

It started with the boy in biology. I’d stolen his pencil out of mischief and to my overwhelming fury instead of trying to steal it back he just softened his eyes and chucked me gently under my chin, a gesture so overtly sweet and romantic that I saw red.

I stabbed him with his own pencil.

I honestly and truly have no memory of it. It happened as fast as a snake striking and I was instantly filled with terrified remorse. Unfortunately that manifested as psychotic giggling.

“I’m so sorry, I didn’t- I don’t know why- I’m so sorry!” I said, while hysterically laughing. I ended up having lodged some graphite in his palm and had to tweeze it out with my nails while apologizing furiously. (It’s very important to note here that he forgave me and we’re still friends)

That was weird, I thought. Why didn’t I think before I stabbed someone?

The next event was equally catastrophic, and I had even less reason to do it. In gym with two girls I was tentatively befriending, we were warming up running laps. I started racing one of them. At breakneck speed we were sprinting around the gym.

This time, there was a blip of thought before I fucked up. I should get the other girl! I have no idea why or what the plan was but I turned on a swivel and body checked the other girl. We both fell down in immense pain. I think that’s the moment I broke my tailbone. Her knees were horribly bruised and she looked at me in bewildered pain. “Why did you do that?!”

I had no idea. I apologized and helped her up, both of us hobbling like newborn horses, bruised and hurting.

By this time there’d been enough social upheavals that I was reduced to spending time with some girls I had nothing in common with and low key disliked. Sat at a table listening to this girl talk about how she wanted to be a stripper when she grew up I thought, You’d better put the cap on before you throw it.

I then chucked my empty water bottle directly at her face. It bounced off her forehead with a bop! that would have made a sound mixer weep at its perfection.

All eyes turned to me is startlement. I stared back at her, stunned by my own action, just as confused as everyone else at the table as to why I’d done that. One of the girls to my right said, “Were you trying to hit that fly?”

“Yes!” I lied, “I’m sorry, I thought I could hit the fly!”

Everyone laughed at my antics and I joined in rather than admit I had just chucked something at her for no reason.

Things did start to improve after that. I solidified a friendship with the girl I’d raced (who I developed a massive crush on and ten years later would go on to date). My outbursts turned more whimsical rather than aggressive. Like accosting a girl leaving the cafeteria to look deeply into her eyes and say with great compassion, “It’s going to be alright.”

My new friend and I snuck into the van that delivered our cafeterias baked goods and lay giggling in the back. When I’d impulsively hopped in she’d joined me and made it a game.

After a year in Arizona I broke down crying to my mother, an act of great desperation, and we ended up moving back home. My impulse control returned to normal teenage levels and life resumed in a happier state of mind.

pls katie mccabe x reader where reader is dyslexic?

One Step at a Time

warnings: talks of dyslexia

a/n: I hope this was okay! I don’t have dyslexia myself so I’m hoping I did your request justice

word count: 558

-

The door chimed excruciatingly loudly when it opened. Drawing the eyes of most of the patrons to you, triggering an awkward recoil from you at their stares.

It’s like they all knew you were late. Knew why you were late. Which would be impossible, but your mind is telling you otherwise and it makes you feel ten times worse.

Your eyes dance around the place, trying to see past the lingering looks you were getting to find the person you were here for. You find her sitting in the corner, hands wrapped around a humorously large mug. Your shoulders deflate a little when she meets your gaze and smiles.

“Finally decided to grace me with your presence then?” Katie teased when you settled in the seat opposite her.

She was only playing, you knew without a doubt, but your heart sank at the realisation that yet again you’d fallen victim to your own brain all the same.

You began to explain, “I misread the clock, and then there was this unexpected-“

“Baby, we’ve talked about this” she interrupted, her tone gentle but firm. The coffee mug now set on the table so she can take your hands in hers. “You don’t need to explain yourself to me, okay?”

“Sorry” you murmur. Eyes shifting to the table, counting the spilled sugar granules as a means to distract yourself from ridicule.

“Hey, look at me,” Katie instructs. “Y/N”, she says again when you don’t.

You look up finally, though she’s blurry from the tears you didn’t realise were threatening to fall.

“I just… I hate feeling like I’m letting everyone down” you admit. Your voice raw, you felt embarrassed.

The circles Katie was drawing on the back of your hand stop when she reaches for your cheek. Wiping away a single tear that escapes.

“Don’t cry, my brave girl. You’ll get there”. You don’t know what to say, so you shrug as you wallow in your own self pity. “You will, I promise”

“I feel stupid”

Katie’s eyes soften as she hears your frustration. “Stupid? Babe, you’re far from it”

“Only stupid people can’t tell the time” you counter, glad the cafe is loud enough to not hear the crack in your voice.

Katie’s gaze doesn’t waver, “Darlin’, intelligence has nothing to do with reading a clock. You’re exceptionally bright, and everyone has their struggles. It’s what makes us human”

You shake your head, “But it’s such a basic thing. I should be able to do it”

“Basic or not, we all have our challenges. And by the way, only brave souls like you openly confront them” she insists. “Look, you’ve been going to your meetings. We’ve been reading together before bed. If that doesn’t show you’re trying then I don’t know what does”

You glance at her, gratitude in your eyes, “Thanks, Katie” you say with a sigh. Not because you think she’s wrong, because you know she’s right. There’s no need to dwell on something you know you can’t change, but keeping it maintained is the best you can do. And you’re doing it. At least you’re winning at that.

Katie gives you a reassuring smile, “No need for thanks, love. We’re in this together. And remember, progress isn’t always about perfection, it’s about the journey, the effort, and you’re doing wonderfully. I’m so proud of you”

More questions about Evie? Ask and you shall receive!

Al and baby Evie. What would that look like? Does he dote on the baby, leave her to Nel, try (and fail) support the demon spawn he brought into the world? Basically, would he be a good father, and does he carry the burden equally?

Honestly, I think Nel would make a pretty great mom seeing as she basically raised Grace from birth, and Grace turned out fine! Nel does seem to have a nasty habit of raising agents of chaos, though. Maybe it wasn't actually Al's fault 🤔

Presuming, once again, that Al was alive for this, does he keep up with his habits? Does being responsible for a child who might cry a lot at night put him at a higher risk of being caught missing, and cut down on the murder time? Or who knows, maybe morals kicked in, and the thought of being caught and leaving Nel alone with a kid was a line not even he would cross (he's a murderer, not a monster).

And what was baby Evie like!!! Quiet baby? Loud baby? A nightmare in private, but an angel in public? She seems like the type to need constant attention.

There have also been a lot of hints that Evie is Violent. Did Nel do a good job instilling fear of the law into her? Or did Evie inherit her father's "hobbies," too?

What about his powers? Is there anything inherent about them that Evie might get? Or would she have needed Al's guidance in order to use her abilities. And if Al was alive, would he have taught her?

Does she have actual friends? I know that Nel is a loner and Al doesn't really care if his "friends" lived or died, but does Evie have any genuine human connection - outside of her arch nemesis ofc (don't tell her I said that). Like a bitch pack or a best friend who roam the school tormenting everyone they meet. Just as a treat.

Also, Roxy: what's her story? Is she a young Nel with a new look and (hopefully) no nicotine addiction? Does she get to have friends?

Let me know if I should break these asks up more in the future to avoid the wall-of-text problem! Once again, don’t feel pressured to answer any of the questions if you don’t want to or if it’s spoiler territory. Take care of yourself! Don't get lost or stolen!!!

YIPPEEEE!!! For pride month I am answering a yummy ask about one of my favorite evil lesbians.

In the little thought-world-brainrot-center I've created for Evie, Alastor isn't exactly around to know about her let alone interact with her. If he WAS around, I mean, he'd try his best to make sure the kid doesn't hurt herself since she is an extension of himself and he appreciates that, but I don't see him being the best dad. Emotional comfort? He doesn't do that. Teaching her to dissect things? Now that he can do!

I actually jokingly refer to an alt timeline in which Nel gets pregnant as "the good ending" because it's the only thing that would stop Alastor's charitable side hobbies in their tracks. Not because he has a change of heart- he just literally cannot find the time for it, and he knows Nel would cave his skull in if she caught him. He'd maybe try sneaking out one (one) night and then the ginger sits up in bed from a dead sleep and just says "fuck. no."...he gets right back in and doesn't sneak out again until Evie is older.

Evie was a pretty good baby! She didn't become an odd little cretin til she could walk, because then baby girl decided she wanted to play in the knife drawer.

She is violent in a way, but she actually takes more after Nel's brand than Alastor's. As weird as she is, and as sweetly as she threatens people, she doesn't resort to violence unless you've fucked with her or someone she cares about. It's that same sort of momma bear mauling-style that Nel has combined with Alastor's lack of remorse/excitement. It's not like she's killed anyone though, or even seriously maimed anyone. She has the capability, but not the urge. I know I jokingly call her an evil lesbian, but she's not actually evil. Just a menace.

I actually have always played around with the idea of Miss Genevieve being very spiritually attuned! I know that the supernatural takes a backseat role in my fic (for now anyway, that'll fucking change soon enough) so for Evie's story, I wanted it to play a much larger role. She's the kind of kid to look at someone and go "March 15th, 1933" and then skip away like it's nothing. Nel got used to it really, really fast. There's more than just her and Evie living in their house, after all. If Al was around, I don't know if he could have helped? I write him as someone who is aware but perhaps not the most integrated into the paranormal world (while alive). He'd definitely find it funny that Evie is though.

Evie has friends, but not close friends. Her story is hard to explain without spoiling my fic so all I can say is that she isn't a loner, but is incredibly lonely at times. Most of her relationships are shallow since she doesn't let others in. While her weird, chaotic nature isn't a front at all, she does rely on it to keep others at arms length if they get too close. She's incredibly popular with people she doesn't know well to the point that she has sort of created a little clique for herself. They don't really see beyond what she shows them. For those she's "closer" to who see her oddities, she uses those oddities and back-handed comments to keep them from getting close. Only Nel and Grace (and eventually Roxxy) are let in.

Roxy my beloved. She's much more than just another Nelly; she actually leans a little opposite to Nel, she's a slacker and usually gets in trouble pretty constantly. She's got a lot of anger from family expectations but she reacted to those expectations completely differently than Miss Penelope did. Roxxy actually has more close friends than Evie. Nobody would really see it unless they saw how fake Evie is with people (Husk would have a field day with that girl).

Thank youuuu for all the questions and I'm sorry it took me a while to answer them!

[austinslounge]

The PR anon is back.

It genuinely hurts me that some people are so weirded out by Kaia’s nonsense, that they consider leaving the fandom. It’s totally understandable, because it’s seems like Kaia and the shippers are doing everything to spoil anything related to Austin. I actually considered leaving the fandom too not so long ago, at least until Kaia disappears, because the shippers are unbearable. I never used X because of them, they just turned almost every Austin blog into a hellhole. I used to follow Austin’s community on Reddit, but it looks like the shippers have invaded it too. The worst thing is that there are people that don’t like Kaia, but they never write comments, because they get bullied and attacked all the time. Tumblr is a breath of fresh air, honestly. Before I got here, I thought that I was just gaslighting myself and seeing things that weren’t there, because everything about Kaustin is ”totally fine”.

As Austin finishes filming, I can see a lot of people getting anxious about what will happen. I want to say, no matter what happens in the upcoming weeks, Kaustin will end, rest assured. Don’t worry, don’t think about it that much. Austin is a wonderful actor and human being, he will be happy again one day. Don’t listen to anything the shippers say, because they are insane. I think we all should takes notes from Lindsay(lindszeppelin), she is amazing, I wish I had her confidence in the fact that Kaustin is a big scam. I recommend everyone to read her blog, it can actually calm your nerves.

So yeah, if you look at other celebrity couples, you can see that couples that actually last are the minority. Kaustin is not a genuine relationship, no matter what it is, how many pap walks we will have to endure, there is no love in there. If they appear together again soon, just think of it as Austin simply helping a poor nepo baby promote her stuff out of the goodness of his heart(it’s basically what this relationship is, no love, just mutual benefits and promotion). Chances are high that it is just a simple showmance, but even if it is not, this relationship is dead.

Just imagine how fun it will be in the future, when they finally break up, we will look back and laugh at all of this nonsense.

Everything that is happening with Kaustin now has its advantages. It is fun to peak up on all these details and Austin’s constant shade towards Kaia. We are living in the Scooby Doo episode right now.

Austin is amazing, Kaia is not worth abandoning him. She is basically a nobody. We are giving her too much attention, than she actually deserves.

Don’t panic guys, it will end❤️‍🩹

Agree with everything you stated here PR Anon! 😊

I agree. It hurts my heart that some have felt like leaving Austin's fandom due to the Gerber Baby and the shipping nonsense, but I can't force people to stay if they don't want to. People have to do what's right for them.

I do feel that many of us felt gaslit in this fandom in the beginning. It wasn't until I was around other like-minded people that I found online that I realized that we all weren't just imagining things.

Oh, and I totally agree with you about Austin reddit. Ugh 😫 Many fans have been silenced over there. It was unbearable.

As Austin finishes filming, I can see a lot of people getting anxious about what will happen. I want to say, no matter what happens in the upcoming weeks, Kaustin will end, rest assured. Don’t worry, don’t think about it that much.

They most definitely will girl. That's pretty obvious. I actually feel that the less fans pay attention to her, the less frustrated they will be in Austin's fandom.

Austin is a wonderful actor and human being, he will be happy again one day. Don’t listen to anything the shippers say, because they are insane. I think we all should takes notes from Lindsay(lindszeppelin), she is amazing, I wish I had her confidence in the fact that Kaustin is a big scam. I recommend everyone to read her blog, it can actually calm your nerves.

Totally agree! She's always been a champion of the non-shipping side of the fandom, and I always admire those who can be so confident in their convictions, because even I get anxious at times and feel like I can't see an end in sight lol. So it's great that there are blogs out there that help to keep the fandom calm and talk them down from the ledge lol. 😅 We all need it from time to time lol.

Austin is amazing, Kaia is not worth abandoning him. She is basically a nobody. We are giving her too much attention, than she actually deserves.

💯

Let's stop giving this Gerber Baby more power than she deserves. We are fans of Austin. She is a non-factor in the long run.

😅

Gen-uary Jubilee - Week 1: Siblings

WOWEE I fully had several other ideas of what i could do for this prompt/this event in general, but then Knight Lite kids took over my brain and I've been thinking about them nonstop since the 1st so HERE WE GO!

This is written for @genuaryjubilee as a part of @ficwip's server events!

Week 1 - Siblings Characters: Bridgette & Bianca Blum (aka our Kay and Guinevere) Project: Knight Lite! Words: 577

And as always shout-outs to @bottlingsound, my fellow knight in crime ;)

+++

Bianca swings the dagger around with such obvious glee that the smile is almost contagious. 

Almost, if you’re anyone but Bridgette watching her baby sister with a way too sharp blade. Gifted to her by Morgause like some kind of joke between girls. Of sisters left behind by their siblings. 

She should be used to this by now, she thinks. It was inevitable. 

But Kay got her sword from Arthur. It was a whole thing that felt important, because at the time it was just the two of them and it was the sword in the fucking stone. 

Guinevere was never supposed to need a blade. The knights were always her blade. 

“Bridgette, you can’t possibly be thinking about making me give it back,” Bianca says, drawing her out of her thoughts with a frown. 

To be honest, Bridgette had been thinking that, sort of. Only sort of. 

Bianca drops her hands to her sides and Bridgette can’t help the wince at the absolutely awful form her sister has when handling a blade. “Oh come on, everyone else has a sword. This is just a glorified knife.” 

“Don’t let Siobhan hear you say that,” Bridgette snaps despite herself. “That’s not just a knife. That’s Carnwennan, Arthur’s dagger.” She doesn’t add so treat it with some respect, because that’s a Merlin thing to say. And honestly the last thing she wants to do is agree with Merlin right now. “He used it to kill witches.” 

The joy on Bianca’s face twists into something ugly and frustrated. “And we’re up against some witches.” 

That wasn’t exactly what Bridgette had meant by that, but Guinevere understood the message from Kay all the same. 

“We’re up against an asshole human,” she corrects, “who has the backing of some witches. But we got Nimue and Morgause on our side.” 

Bianca grunts, unconvinced. 

So Bridgette has to remind herself not to be Bianca’s older sister right now. She can’t be their parents, and Lord knows that Imogen isn’t stepping up to be a proper caretaker right then because she had gone and performed the transfer that gave the dagger to Bianca in the first place. 

This was all brought on by something beyond their control. The Blums aren’t in the picture right now. It’s Kay teaching her queen how to defend herself the next time she finds herself in a pinch. 

“Alright, missy, I guess it’s up to me to teach you the basics,” Bridgette says and forces the levity she doesn’t quite feel into her voice. 

Bianca’s look is skeptical, so Bridgette does a theatrical roll of her wrist in demonstration. “Dagger form basics.” 

And there’s the unbridled joy back on her sister’s face. “Really?” 

“Really really. You’re more likely to hurt yourself with that than not, and if you master the dagger—” 

“You’ll let me practice with Caliburn?” she asks excitedly and Bridgette can’t suppress the wince. 

“Maybe you can ask Temmy for Galatine again,” she cautions. A sword that makes you invulnerable under sunlight would be a decent enough training sword in SoCal. Not that she thinks Caliburn is dangerous — Liam is really the only one with a truly dangerous sword — but she can’t stop being a big sister long enough to run the risk of seeing Bianca cut herself on a sword. 

Bianca pouts, but it’s the familiar teasing one she’s used to seeing. “Alright, fine. Step one: Daggers. Step two—” 

“Swords,” Bridgette agrees. 

“Step three?” Bianca grins. “Profit!”

I'm so sick and tired of people pretending that issues like abortion are isolated political issues and can stand on their own as conversation points, like, you can't pick a side on any of these issues because it's morally wrong to pick between women or babies. I stand on the side of women but it's a stupid point of view to tell people to pick a side no matter where you're coming from because the second that the conversation goes from "Do you think women should have the right to abort?" To "Do you support women's rights to kill babies or babies right to live?" You've already lost everyone. To save both lives you would have to pick both but that would be far too layered of an approach for braindead right wing degenerate politicians who are 70+ years old and know nothing about women or children to wrap their brains around. It's like asking someone "If you had to pick between me dying or our baby, who would you pick?" You can't pick either because the baby would be left without a mom and would be unhappy and the dad would be unhappy but if you chose the mom the mom and dad couldn't just "make another one" like people suggest, they would be mourning over their deceased child, so no one is happy. It's messed up and an incorrect approach to both science and societal structure. What ever happened to humanism and caring for facts and reasoning instead of caring about rich politicians who don't care whether you live or die, or a god who doesn't even exist (and if he did, he would not love you like you love him, he would be just like every other man!!) Abortion is a serious topic and I'm tired of people questioning it and acting as if they're "morally above it" or coating the topic in a manipulative garnish in an attempt to further scrutinize women for something that should be no one's business but their own. The media needs to stop demonizing women and as a woman I think the first step in this is overthrowing the patriarchal society by cutting off the support of rich power-hungry misogynistic douches that are revered by teenage boys like Kanye West or The Weeknd. We also need to cut another thing off at the source. Dating. Dating culture all over the world has gotten so toxic that neither party (men or women if we are speaking about heterosexual relationships) are happy with where the dating scene is at. If we want to have rights as women, we need to stop giving men power over us. If we refuse access to our minds and bodies they have no other choice but to either start dating each other, or I hand over the rights we have always deserved. Just remember, your body is a temple and no crusty man who wears the same shirt of Patrick Bateman everyday of the week without washing it or showering and listens to Kendrick Lamar as if he's gospel should EVER have access to your body or be able to take away your freedoms. You are a smart girl and he is a stupid boy with no ambition. Also, your d*ck is basically bigger than his.

[maria-ruta]

i miss ronya she was so cool. how's she doing these days

awww thank you!!! <3 <3 <3

I miss her too UvU

the game ended on moment when all the demons were defeated and sent back to hell (except for Nafanya and Gra'azt, who now became leader of big group of drow and continues to get more drow on his side from Lolth(shes not happy about it lol))

Ronya got married to goblin widow Hikt (they threw the bouket in Sarit's face so hehe he's next lol) and now Ronya is mama of Hikt's kids from her last marrige - one allready young adult goblin booy, little girl, and baby boy (I don't remember where I wrote their names rip OTL)

(this hella cool bugbear design is work of my friend @tench-art)

Mao completelly turned into fairy and only had one year and one day left in mortal plane to live, and after that she will be joining the Wild Hunt

And Chiviss ( @tench-art 's character) became small demigod and now he had his own illithyd ship, his paladin friend Valya(they are in love but very slowburn/akward about it) and clone of human monk Lee who now has to help Chiviss by doing good things and help fixing stuff he fucked up - and Chiviss plans to travel across other worlds on his ship

AND WITH ALL THAT Ronya was left the only one to rule Fort Asshole (Sarit gave it that name and it stuck X'D ) the fort, that became shelter for many many people throghout our game - basically it was like big town or small city at this point

The game ended at Ronya being like "wait so whos gonna take care of the Fort now?"

and everyone were like "well now YOU are the queen of Fort Asshole, Ronya! your responsibility now byeeee"

and Ronya was like "WHAT THE FUCK IM NOT GOOD AT POLITICS AND MENAGMENT SHIT!!! IM GOOD AT CRUSHING DEMONS SKULLS WHAT THE FUCK GUYS"

But I think Ronya will found a union with other leaders of the different groups of citizens of Fort Asshole

such as orcs Hector and Azog, who represent the interests of orcs

myconid Lubomab, who represents the interests of myconids

Ronya herself as leader of goblins and bugbears

and half-orc Lidia, who represents the interests of everyone else and all kinds of minorities

and together they will come up with something X'D how to take care of the city and trading and etc. Fort Asshole became very important trading point, since now it has the big portal cirlce to the surface, while the last city(Malonderit, I cant find how the city should be written right, I only remember how it was pronaunced so eh), that had the portal to the surface - doesnt have it anymore. So yeah, Fort Asshole has all the chances of becoming big city eventually

I know from what our DM said, that at some point other bugbears of the city will become overly proud and will think of themselves more than other species, bc "our leader is so cool! she is the best and the strongest, and everyone else is weak loosers" so Ronya would have to beat some sense into them

she would tell them(more like angrily roar) that she would never get where she is now without help of her friends and comrades (hell she even DIED once and they had to get her ass a new fucking body), that everyone is equal here and that they should stop embarrassing her. And she would also add that its not bugbears who are stronger than everybody but its particularly HER who's stronger than everybody XD and if anyone of those bugbear assholes wants to argue with that - they can challange her to battle in orcs' arena and see if they could win her in wrestling battle. nobody's up for it? theN SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!

ALSO Ronya promissed her wife Hikt that she won't be risking her life as much as she did during demon invasion anymore so I guess her life gets less adventurie now

She would gladly teach kids her knowladge of hunting, tracking, scouting, and nature of underdark in general... when she has time lol, bc being leader is hella busy job (she didn't want it but she was choosen to do it U_U )

(idk what else to add haha you can ask anything specific if you want. but im very pleased you want to know more about Ronya, Thank you)

See it's right that we're not supposed to be spoon fed even the basic mannerisms or need any lec from how shippers/solos/armys should behave normal BUT sometimes when you're on wrong path someone HAS to show you the direction. In this case the ppl that are being vile over ships or even solos or armys in general needs words from member's mouth because sometimes that's the only way they listen. This is exactly what happens in real life as well that when you're on wrong path your parents show you the right direction sometimes it's someone else so SOMEONE has to do something about it.

we're definitely not at the situation where we can ignore these things and wait for everything to go normal automatically because that's never happening. If anyone wants the results then ONLY members addressing this whole issue is the option. I know some losers still gonna be vile because they get pleasure out of it but still.

if ppl wants to ignore then they obviously can but then don't expect the changes just live with wtv is happening rather than constantly complaining about the hate. let them hate whoever they want let it be the way it is. The constant crying about hate but not actually doing something about is really irritating, annoying and frustrating.

One thing I'll say tho that the situation with Tkkrs is so nasty that they're even worst than Larries and if Larries still exists after a whole wife and baby and louis constantly addressing the issue then just imagine what taehyung and jungkook's partners would go through. and I'm damn sure at that time jungkook himself would address the issue when his actual partner will get the hate unnnesary and everyone who says he's not going to do it because be doens't give a fk will know what exactly being in love actually means. Louis addressed the issue, ian Somerhalder did, i think some girl group fifth harmony or someone (a member ig) also did and BTS or in very specific jungkook will do to when the time comes.

The thing is, with people like the cult, there is no reasoning with them. Those people are genuinely psychotic to the point where they’re willing to wish ill will and harm on another member for obstructing their own made up fantasies.

Tae has directly addressed them before:

That was from 5 years ago and yet, did they gaf about what tae had to say? Absolutely not. They don’t care to listen and we should stop acknowledging and engaging with people who wanna be purposely obtuse. The more you engage with them, argue back and try to reason, the more fuel you add to the fire. The best thing we can do is ignore them and stop giving them a platform. These real-life people need serious real-life help beyond what we can do from behind our screens.

As for solos, their biggest concern is wanting to be differentiated from army. They have a field day every time the boys don’t explicitly write ‘army’ on one of their weverse posts, thinking it’s because they’re addressing their solos instead. The boys explicitly calling out their solos (even if it’s negatively) would still give them the acknowledgment they so desperately crave. Again, akgaes don’t care about the boys’ actual feelings. They don’t treat them like human beings and only as achievement bots to boost their egos. They won’t care if the artists they ‘support’ ask them to stop being nasty. They’ll only think, ‘Oh, member x knows he has a solo fan base and oh, that means he doesn’t care about the group anymore’.

I agree with you that we as a fandom need to do better in regulating this type of deranged behaviour within our spaces. I have hope that when the boys reunite, this will work to push out some of the bad apples. Chapter 2 has given delusional shippers, solos and akgaes the amo that they never had before the group hiatus. With the boys pursuing their solo careers and not being seen together as often, it’s given them a sick sense of validation.

As the boys have grown, the older part of this fandom also has. We all have our lives outside of this fandom and can’t afford to stay glued to our stan accounts all the time like we used to. With the boys’ group hiatus, we all agreed to take some time to work on ourselves and grow as individuals and I think that’s a wonderful thing. We’re people before being fans and constantly worrying about fandom beef and letting it run over your real life is extremely unhealthy.

Long-time stans and the people who used to call out bad behaviour aren’t as active within the fandom anymore. There's been a wave of new fans who I like to call army 'purists' who have this insane sense of entitlement towards everyone and anyone. They're quick to bully and harass people over the smallest things such as likening jk to a cute animated character. They're chart-obsessed and are willing to forgo morals to gain hollow achievements. I've seen long-time fandom translators being harassed over sharing pro-Palestine tweets. I've seen people excuse the actions of literal genocidal freaks such as Scooter Braun. The fandom is in the trenches but again, I have hope that once the boys reunite and once we as fans reunite, it'll be a step towards cleansing this fandom (Ik I'm being very optimistic)

[thedevilsoftruth]

Haven't posted in a while, but something that was really bugging me a lot was some shit I noticed when rewatching the Moon Knight series that I think a lot of comic book fans could relate to. I know, Mr " um actually " comic book guy is talking right now but imma need you all to bare with me here for a second. and before any of you start typing, please remember everything said here is MY opinion. All I ask is that you're respectful. I'm going to start of with how I don't understand the hype around this motherfucker.

Literally the most whiniest mf in the ENTIRETY of the MCU. The only people who can like or tolerate this bitch are mfs who have 9 hours of daily screen time on TikTok, listen to hyperpop music and think that he's a soft uwu meow meow baby girl hurt emo princess boy.

Moon Knight is literally one of the most metal superheros out there and the directors saw that and said, " now imagine that but we make his woman so much better than him and water him down and completely change his back story and then wipe our asses with it, spit on it and then pretend we were trying to show representation. " Like what the fuck are you fucking doing?

My first problem is that I felt like this show focused too much on Layla and her relationship to Marc... Nvm, Sorry I lied. Not Marc, fucking STEVEN. This show isn't about " Layla ", its about MARC and Steven and JAKE. (I'll talk about Jake later) Like can we just... " Are you an Egyptian superhero? " " I am. 🥺" GIRL BYE 💀💀 this part of this show was so bad it made eternals look good. This was cringe on the level of seeing your mother do a dab. All that episode 6 was about was Layla kicking ass and that's it. I don't understand why Kevin Feige has the urge to make everything about badass women. Like theres ABSOLUTELY nothing wrong with that, I love badass women and we need more women superheros, but I'm just saying, I came here to watch MOON KNIGHT not Layla El-faouly.

So funny how they make a show about Marc Spector and he only gets like 20 minutes out of the 6 hours of the entirety of the show. I think the most time he got on screen was like episode five and maybe two but that's about it. It felt like he was only there to make things depressing and to make Steven Grant have better character development because he himself is just so fucking boring and not funny. Marc Spector is so much more than " I got hit as a kid and my alter ego is fucking my ex wife. " He's a Jewish antihero struggling with a personality disorder that's eating his life away and a toxic relationship with a man who's been basically lying, emotionally abusing, and manipulating him since his CHILDHOOD. What I love most about Marc Spector is that he's not like all other these mighty superheros, he's just some dude. He just some dude with real human struggles like you and me, trying to figure himself out and navigate through his disorder. Marc should have had a bigger role in this show but I guess Steven Grant and Layla were more interesting than him. Steven is the main course, Layla is the desert and Marc is the salad off to the side that's barley been eaten.

Steven Grant is not a shy British man with great manners who works in a gift shop and is giving in his moms flat, he's a savvy millionaire ( who's from Chicago, Illinois, so as Marc and Jake ) who works in the film industry and lives in a mansion. Those are two completely different characters. Everyone that I've seen who's criticized Steven in the slightest has said that he was bland, boring, and the producers were trying too hard to make him funny. You can't try to have something that's just straight up sad happening with a character and then pretend that it's funny and try to make it into comedy. That's just not how it works and it's not realistic. That's why movies like The Crow are good and movies like Renfield are bad. The Crow takes itself seriously and is genuinely sad but lightly sprinkled with comedy, Renfield wanted to be a bit sad, but ruined itself by trying to hard to make every scene funny.

The only good scene in this entire show is the scene where Marc says, " you are you the only real superpower I ever had " or whatever the fuck. I didn't pay attention because all I could think about was the scene from frozen where Anna fucking froze and Elsa cried about it and then unfroze her with her tears or something. I guess her tears must have been really hot.

What I'll give Muhammad Diab credit for is casting. Having Layla be Egyptian is good, and having Oscar Isaac casted as Marc is also really good. Everyone In the comics is white for a character normally centered around Egyptian bullshit. They also got Khonshus personality right and that's about it.

I hate how the producers said that this show was all about " representation" and then didn't add Frenchie, who is a gay french guy in it or Bushman who is a black mercenary because he was " too much like Killmonger " ( which doesn't make any fucking sense because they are drastically different on so many levels but okay. ) they also said that this show is they're most brutal and violent show yet, but they were " violent " ( and bloody-ish ) the first three episodes and then just kinda gave up towards the end.

For the last thing, I'm gonna talk about Jake finally. Just pretend that I'm sighing right now. Like a really audible, dramatic sigh.

I get they wanted for us to differentiate the differences between each personality with accents but Jake doesn't need to speak Spanish. He doesn't speak Spanish in the comics and having him do it is completely unnecessary. I get it's Hollywood and Hollywood needs to make everything sexy and attractive, but Jake Lockley is the least sexiest alter of Marc Spector. He doesn't wear a suit with black leather gloves or drive a limousine, he's a fucking taxi cab driver with a really weird mustache who wears a turtle neck. When I think sexy, I don't think taxi driver. And it ruins the point of Jake Lockley as well because Marc uses Jake to see what's going on on the streets in New York. New York is really busy and crowded, so people are more prone to using a taxi, not a limousine unless you're bougie and rich.

Anyways that was my rant. Good night.

PROPAGANDA

Saix

Ok so his story (chronologically) is that he was trying to save a girl with his best friend and got trapped in a basically-cult at the age of 16. And in this cult he and best friend lost ALL ability to feel emotions. For TEN YEARS. and the whole time he was trying to get closer to cult leader in order to find out about what happened to the girl, and it’s basically saïx and his friend against the entire world. When you (player character) meet him its after those ten years have passed and his best friend regained emotions and left him basically alone in this horrible situation and hes just so angry and betrayed and hes convincing himself that he doesn't care about it and ALSO hes like kinda 50% possessed by the cult leader in a way? and during this segment he’s basically the Worst Guy. Hes aggressive to best friends NEW friends and this leads to him kinda ensuring the destruction of both best friend and his new friends (he intentionally stabs best friend), so yeah. He sucks a lot. But fan interpretations are always “oooh saix did a BAD THING and thats bad so he should be put in a nuclear reactor” which ignores his situation COMPLETELY or theyre like “ooooh hes my precious baby and he was hurt :( he was sad and had no agency whatsoever :( so every character should forgive him immediately” which. Is almost worse tbh because he really did spend a whole game harrasing two 16 year olds for being friends with someone.

Six (long propaganda)

Once again (just like with every morally grey character I think) there's a war between "she's a monster" and "she's an angel".

Six, as a character, is very cool because there's no dialogue or anything in the Little Nightmares games, and a lot of things that are just not showed. The whole point is everyone can have their own interpretations and theories. But Six is just so disrespected by the fandom !

On one side, it's "she's a monster, we hate her, she's selfish and uses people to get what she wants !"

On the other side it's "she's a kid and my favorite character so by default she can't be a bad person, she's actually a sweet and pure angel !"

None of them are right.

For the first ones... Six isn't that much of a monster. And I'm gonna say it : yes, she is a literal kid. That doesn't mean she can't be bad, but she thinks like a kid. She probably cared for Mono before she betrayed him – we can see her trying to help him when he was in the TVs. She probably has a reason why she betrayed him. There's a lot of different theories on that and none of them is more valid than the others because again you're meant to have your own interpretation, so I won't tell any of the popular theories here. You can think she did it for selfish reasons. That doesn't mean she's a literal monster, and that doesn't mean the people who don't think it was selfish are mischaracterizing her.

For the second ones... I don't even know what to tell you. If there's one CLEAR thing in these games, it's that Six is morally grey and could do something scary at any moment. As the player you're literally MEANT to be scared of her and what she could do. In the first game you are meant to slowly realize her hunger isn't human. You can also see how she doesn't try to help any of the kids trapped here, she's just helping herself. In the second one she does scary thing all along the game to keep you scared that she could kill and eat Mono at any time, only for her to betray him in the worst way possible at the end. We don't know her reasons but she still did it.

Six is a morally grey character. She's just a kid trying to survive in a world full of monsters. She's also full of darkness, acts like a creep and eats literal people. You can't say she's "just a monster", the same way you can't say she's "a little angel who did nothing wrong".

(Different Propaganda)The whole thing with Little Nightmares is that the world is terrifying and horrible. It is eat or be eaten in the most literal sense. Six does what she has to to survive. Has she done some bad things? Yes. Was it her fault? …Debatable. But the fandom treats this CHILD like she’s the worst person to ever exist. Like, she’s not even ten years old. She’s a survivor. Mono did plenty of questionable things too, but I’ve never seen anyone hate on him.

Theory/Over-Analysis: "…Infinite Pleasure Spawning" Part 2: Random Observations

Following what I'm working on for "A Certain Sage…", this Part will be a series of random observations for "…The Infinite Pleasure Spawning Drama". There's not as much to note as in "A Certain Sage…", but… Whatever. This one's just WEIRD.

The title card is a lightly-cracked egg

How and why did Belaf start laying eggs? …Even the narration has no fucking clue. ---[insert the "Anything goes in Wonderland~" joke from Phelan Porteous here]

Belaf is male, yet has somehow spawned a birth canal ---Transmasc Belaf confirmed??? ---Or did the Abyss do this, too?

Vueko says "otsukare-sama" to congratulate Belaf on laying the egg, which is basically a catch-all phrase for when someone has finished a job and/or finished doing hard work ---I bring this up because it's written entirely in hiragana, and may I remind you of that one 2chan thread where this dude basically trolled everyone by writing "otsukare-sama" entirely in hiragana??? ---This will be expanded upon in Part Three ---Also in this panel, Vueko is literally wiping Belaf's ass

The eggs look just like chicken eggs ---Apparently, the Sages were too scared to check what's inside of them

As the days pass, the eggs gradually get bigger and bigger ---And, naturally, the bigger the egg, the harder it is to "birth" ---YES, THE NARRATION SAYS "BIRTH"

Belaf disappears into his room for a few days ---He even refuses to eat, claiming that his portion should be saved for Irumyuui because she's "a growing girl" ---Speaking of which, WHERE THE HELL IS IRUMYUUI?! ---This is the only time she's mentioned; she is never seen, either. ---You'd think she'd be right up there trying to help, given her tribe's obsession with fertility???

Turns out, the eggs got stuck ---Belaf literally looks pregnant now ---That's why he was avoiding everyone and trying to starve; he didn't want anyone to see his huge belly ---He is full of eggs ---He was terrified of having to "birth" the increasingly-bigger eggs because of how painful it was getting

Wazukyan may or may not have been a chicken farmer at one point??? ---He mentions chickens and how they'd occasionally get eggs stuck; and mentions something about a "land base"??? ---If anyone can make better sense of this panel, be my guest

10. Wazukyan borrows Vueko's sex dungeon-- I mean-- "workspace"

11. The Interference Units give Belaf some sort of medicine/pain reliever ---Where was the medicine earlier when he was literally laying an egg in front of Vueko??? ---Why didn't he ask for it sooner??? ---It, like, worked instantly, soooo…????????

12. Wazukyan's bright idea? "Let's lube up the eggs! Make 'em slippery~!" ---The worst part? IT FUCKING WORKS.

13. Belaf lays eight eggs all in one go ---WHY ARE THE EGGS SURROUNDED BY HEARTS ---ANSWER ME, ANNOUU-SAN

14. PUT YOUR DICK AWAY, WAZUKYAN

15. Belaf's breasts start producing milk ---This implies that his body was producing hormones for the eggs as if they were human??? ---If the eggs ever hatched… Would they be sentient? Would they even BE human??? ---I'm scared

16. I present to you, the feminine equivalent to the "papa pole": the "mama nipple"

17. Belaf panics because he has to deliver one gigantic fucking egg ---He is terrified and Wazukyan continues to have a dopey smile on his face

18. Wazukyan gently wipes away Belaf's tears…

19. …AND THEN SLAMS HIS HAND DOWN ON BELAF'S STOMACH AND FORCES THE EGG OUT

20. The egg is, in Wazukyan's own words, "about the size of a baby's head". ---Meanwhile, Belaf's just sprawled there on the floor and hasn't moved an inch ---Like seriously; his eyes are rolled back in his head ---Is he okay?

21. There's one last egg. A teeny-weeny little one ---AND WAZUKYAN IMMEDIATELY DROPS IT AND BREAKS IT

22. There's a Gory Discretion Shot, and we never see what was actually IN the egg ---Wazukyan doesn't react in horror or anything at all really; but then again, should we be rating gore based off of the dude who eats rats?

23. Time skip of an unspecified amount; and Vueko's out in the new garden ---The eggs were buried there to be fertiliser for the plants and flowers

24. But then, Vueko notices the grave ---Where did it come from? ---Who made it and why? ---Who or what is buried there…? ---This is never answered

THE END. I'm not joking. That's how it ends. Now, onto the theories in Part Three~!

Sins of the Father

Optimus had made many mistakes in his past, and he’s made just as many sacrifices to atone for them. But he may have gotten his second chance to make amends.

--- In their youth, Optimus and Elita-1 decided to take the next step and bring new life into the universe. After He lost his conjux, Optimus didn't feel worthy of being a sire and arranged for their sparkling to go somewhere safe. Stellacycles later, one conversation leads him to look further into Bumblebee's past, seeing too many connections to be a coincidence. Could the scout be his sparkling?

AO3 link

Other chapters: 2, 3

Chapter 1

“I don’t think the rest of the letters are gonna fit, Sari.” Bulkhead says as the young girl writes in large letters, reaching the end of the card half way through the word ‘father’. “Just write the rest really small and thin, that should do it!” Bumblebee suggests. Humans were very fascinating, in Optimus’ opinion, especially their unique customs. He reflects on this as he watches Sari work on a ‘Father’s Day’ card with Bulkhead and Bumblebee. Cybertronians didn't really have such holidays, so Optimus was glad to see it first hand.

Sari nods and writes the uneven letters. As she studies her handwriting, an inquisitive look crosses her face. “ Hey, do autobots have parents?”

Bulkhead exchanges a look with Bumblebee, “ uh… sometimes? I mean some do, like me, but not everyone does.” He scratches at the back of his helm as he tries to explain. Optimus jumps in “Technically we can, but since the war it’s less common. Most bots were protoforms, including myself, so we don’t have carriers and sires- or mothers and fathers.” Prowl nods in agreement, “I was also a protoform; a lot of them were in military programs as ready made soldiers, you can say.” Ratchet’s optics remained on the datapad. “My folks passed to the well of allsparks a long time ago. They were also medbots; helped me get the training i needed.” “My sire also passed, but my carrier still lives on our old energon farm. I try to send her letters when I can, but they can be slow this far out in space.” Bulkhead adds.

Sari nods, turning towards the scout next to her. “ What about you Bee?

“Huh? Well, I did, but I never met them. Probably also already passed.” “Probably?” Ratchet questioned. “I think so,” Bumblebee explains “I grew up in an orphanage on Iacon, from what I know they took in a lot of sparklings- I think you guys would call them babies- from autobots that offlined. So, I'm guessing they did as well.” “Hm, I think I know which one you're talking about. That place got subsidies from the war effort, and encouraged the kids to enlist when they could.” Ratchet shakes his helm. “Yeah, that sounds about right.” Bumblebee agrees with a shrug. “Well anywho… Sari, what’cha think for the inside of the card?”

As the young girl returns her attention to the paper, Optimus excuses himself before walking to his quarters. The conversation weighs heavy on his processor, dredging up many bad memories. He ventures to his desk, picking through datapads to find the young scout’s file. It contained basic information: he is barely old enough to be out of the academy, has behavioral issues, and is a ‘pint sized soldier that’s a mediocre fighter at best”. Optimus notes that parts of this report were written by Sentinel, so he takes it with some salt, or however the human saying goes. He finds the mandatory background check from the orphanage. The name brings a twinge to his spark, Bumblebee’s assessment had been accurate. Optimus had heard of many recruits putting their young in the home, few were able to return…some unwilling after everything they’d gone through. His optics trail to the photo that collects dust on his desk. A young couple stares back at him, his own young face and the visage of his conjux. There was a time where the thought of not having Elita-1 in his arms seemed like an impossibility. She was someone he’d hoped to spend the rest of their lifecycles with. In their youth they had wanted to take the next step and bring new life into the world. They’d been so excited, and when the time came to hold their sparkling Optimus knew his spark had been stolen once again. The little one had his carrier’s pretty yellow color, and his curious optics, at least according to Elita. Everything was perfect… then they went to Archa Seven. It was supposed to be simple: find an alleged abandoned Decepticon ship. At the time he was most worried about the trouble they might get into with their superiors. Little did he know that would be the last he'd see of Elita… Optimus had made many mistakes in his past, and he’s made just as many sacrifices to atone for them. When he’d returned, he felt lost in his own processor. Drowning in his own grief and guilt. A wedge had formed between him and Sentinel, destroying their friendship, and he buried himself in whatever work he could get. He felt he didn’t deserve to be a sire… so he’d made arrangements for his sparkling to go somewhere safe. An orphanage on Iacon, one he knew received funding and where he knew the little one would be taken care of. And though he’d promised to not look back, it weighed heavy in the back of his processor nearly everyday of his life. He kept telling himself that he’d done what was right. He couldn’t protect his conjux, and he wasn’t going to let himself fail again. His optics lock with Bumblebee’s profile photo, the bright yellow plating searing his processor. The orphanage is the same, and assuming his math is right, so is the scout’s age. Optimus let out a curse as rubs at his faceplate. He knows he can’t jump to any conclusions, and he was most likely looking too much into simple coincidence. He needs to investigate further.

volume VIII thoughts

*I played it almost entirely before they removed the episodes so maybe they changed a few things here and there

tried my best to remember that my baby Rafael is TRAUMATIZED and that love island makes u too dramatic

daphne what's ur problem??

bonnie I couldn't care less abt you it's me and Uma against the world idgaf

me and Uma talking to every guy in this villa except our men because they are being little bitches alright

these men are dumb btw

why is everyone telling me Alex doesn't really like me and just used me to get back at Uma like I know it's the truth but please shut up?? you are hurting my feelings omg

wasn't Bryson supposed to like me or smth?

EVAN IS BACK TO FLIRTING WITH ME WHO CHEERED

(I wanna say I'm loyal to Rafa but Evan is one hell of an eye candy)

and Travis... he's there, ig?

I was planning on giving Rafael a lesson but you know what he's perfect

he said all the right things 😭😭 guys I'm in love

no Daphne I do not accept your apology esp bc I know you'll be an awful human being for the rest of the game 🥱

a cake challenge?

that challenge was a copypaste of season 2's cake challenge but even more boring

I'm not even surprised Bonnie and Bryson lost like who tf thinks that dolphin party ocean life luxurious is a good wedding cake theme

anywaysss me and Rafa won 🫶 yayy

I'm not really counting bc my game is modded but I'm sure I spent too many gems this volume FUSEBOX WHAT'S UP

whatever I don't care about what's everyone's couple like

Rafa is this close 🤏 from asking us to be exclusive

the "I'm falling and you should let yourself fall too" speech was GORGEOUS oh my gawd

yes Daphne he asked me on a date catch up we are a COUPLEEEEEE

Travis why are you upset? we talked like five times, AT BEST.

alright so this game is becoming messy now

because what do you mean by COMPETITIVE DATING?????

cringe awkward oh my god someone stop this

let's pretend the last episode didn't happen

the boys are in a cult

and bedtime boytime is basically what the rep crew did on a regular day in season 1, handstands? beat boxing? just say we miss Rohan and Tim next time

(except season 1 wasn't cringe af omg)

final recoupling oh my lord

btw I just realised the girls' PJ are just their undies? lol

[askinkiskarma]

Pls bb don't take this as an attack 😩😩😩I am genuinly trynna figure this out

First I respect the lgbt+ community fully, right !

I was wondering

Can you really say you are bi or gay or lesbian when you are attracted to this specific type but it is concerly the reflexion of the opposite sex you are attracted to, just because it's got this type of intimate parts does justify it ? Not so well said I know, in the end. But you get me

Example... : I say I am lesbian, I am a woman attracted to a woman that's got nothing feminine in her other than a vulva and a vagina. So you are obviously attracted to male "energy", but because it's got a "women genital" you refer yourself as lesbian ?

Do you get me ?

It's like this violet of Arcane thing. She is a women. Yes. But everything is a male metaphor in her.

The only thing I don't like is the non keeping of the male and female essence, it's still important. Otherwise there wouldn't be babies in the world and just chaos, because we don't respect the natural image of basically the essence life 🥺❤

Again I am not putting all of this in question !! It's just that sometimes I try to understand and I can't... Not because I don't want to obv

You can call me head blocked, stupid, not open to change

But I assure you that if I wasn't I wouldn't ask myself all of theses questions honey 🙈🌈

Thank you A for your read, smooches ❤❤❤

Hi! First of all thank you for approaching this respectfully! I think yours is a loaded question and I can only answer my own experience and my own point of view, so pls don’t assume this is how everyone feels!

So for me, i say i like girls because i like girls! Their femininity or masculinity (we can debate what that even means) has very little to do with it. If we’re talking about Vi, I love her personality first and foremost, her drive, confidence, charisma, i love how she looks and I think it’s a bit unfair to reduce her to her masculine energy, because she’s so much more than that! Since we’re talking about arcane specifically, i am also attracted to Caitlyn and Mel, both of which are very traditionally “feminine”

I think my point of view is that, as humans, we have evolved far past a necessity to only exist to procreate and to perpetuate the human race. I think we have evolved to be individuals with dreams and desires and aspirations, and I think we have evolved past the need to be put in very binary, restrictive boxes that only inhibit us and limit our potential and our very short lives! I think we should live to fulfill those dreams and aspirations, and that looks different to everyone. If you respect and require those more traditional values that’s entirely fine, just the same way as it is if you don’t and your life is not reliant on the same things!

I hope this makes sense i’m kinda drunk and maybe not at my most eloquent!

does crane feel any actual maternal feelings towards condor and warbler? whats her deal in general? also i think she and ebonystar should be evil moms together with their baby girls hanging out

Towards Condor: no, towards Warbler: maybe some!

Crane and Condor's relationship is like, I keep saying it's weird but it's like two people who are just roleplaying a super doting/weirdly obsessive mother/son relationship despite being about the same age and making everyone else uncomfortable. I do not think they actually see each other in this way at all, but Crane likes the power that being called "mom" gives her over Condor so she enjoys it. Also she for sure gets a kick out of making other people uncomfortable outside of the Flock.

Crane and Warbler's relationship is a little bit more traditional adoptive mom/daughter kind of thing because warbler is a good bit younger than Crane. Everyone else is about "adult" age for cats while Warbler I believe to be like. a teen. about 14/15 if translated into human age. Crane is protective of her and does care for her, but that doesn't mean it's not rife with abuse. Warbler wasn't a child/kitten when adopted, and was essentially placed into this role of being Crane's daughter/Condor's little sister without basically any consent from Warbler. She goes along with it because she feels owned to Crane taking her in after the death of her parents during the war. Like, Warbler didn't get to decide that Crane was now her mom, Crane decided that for her. And I think that Crane does plan to use the power over being called "mom" to make Warbler do anything she wants, kinda like how she does with Condor.

SORRY I'M RAMBLING. Crane's whole deal in general is that she's the leader of a group of cats called The Flock. They all have bird names within and if you join you gotta change your name to a bird. The Flock was the main "other army" in a sense during the war with The King and grew SUPER LARGE during the war because The King kept conquering other groups. now that the war is over, Crane is now the leader of a crazy large group of cats, and that power and influence might be going to her head a bit lol. I think her thought pattern is like "Yeah the king failed and uniting all the groups but i'm a good person and can do it the right way."

ALSO THEY SHOULD, evil moms have to stick together in these trying times
