[the-butler-siblings]

I made a super comprehensive list of all the tags I use here!

(lol I briefly took the hyphens out of my url but then I realized I’d have to edit all my links and I don’t feel like doing that. Also I think it looks better with the hyphens) (I am not currently very active here :/ so this is only accurate for like. A six month period back in 2019 probably. I’m just rbing stuff like once a week now)

Keep in mind that most of these are newer and while I am working my way through my archive to tag them, it’s very tedious. All posts from here on out will be tagged like this though! I’m putting an asterisk* by tags that I’ve only added in the last month or so

—————————————

Categorizing Tags (what kind of a post is it?)

Fanfic and Fanfiction

Art - any post that includes visual art. Also tagged as either digital art or traditional art, and sometimes graphic design (mostly bc the art tag is so fucking long and I felt the need to break it up somehow)

Animation

Cosplay

Video

Audio

Music - playlists, original music, “this song made me think of this character”, etc.

Quizzes

Essays - basically any analytical and semi-structured writing that takes up more than 3/4 of my phone screen.

Metafandom - y’all are so cool that you get your own tag <3

Subject Tags (who, what, where, when)

Character Tags - I use full names for everyone but Butler, and I use Artemis Fowl II to differentiate from the general fandom tag. (consequently, you can find all my original posts under Artemis Fowl). Any OCs are tagged with OC

A Fowl Bunch - when there’s like, too many characters for me to have the energy to tag them all. I’ll probably only tag the more rarely mentioned characters alongside this.

Book Tags - for when a post references a specific book, or the events of a specific book. I tag the full title, for example: book 5 is The Lost Colony, The Fowl Twins is Fowl Twins Book 1, and Artemis Fowl is Book 1

AF Movie - additionally tagged as either movie crit (wow that movie sucked) or movie pos (neutral to positive about the movie)

Eoin Colfer - pretty much any post that at least mentions him by name

Ship Tags - [commonly used ship name] or [character x character] or [character x oc] (these tags use first names)

The People - when we’re talking about The People as a whole, whether about their culture, government, magic, or anything else. I also tag The LEP for posts about it as an organization.

Tech Design - thoughts about or art portraying the more techy side of the books’ sci-fi content

Public Relations - Artemis Fowl and his friends are a very weird group, and it’s hard to believe that the general public has not noticed this by now

Orientation Headcanons - For posts explicitly indicating a character’s sexual and/or romantic orientation: I tag with [orientation] [character] and [orientation] headcanons

Trans Headcanons - posts with trans/nb headcanons. Tagged with [trans or nb] [character] and [trans or nb] headcanons

Bullying Artemis - sometimes we’re a little mean to him, and that’s ok, because sometimes he sucks <3

Bby Artemis - pre-canon Artemis

Old Artemis - he’s an ADULT now and he has BAD JOINTS

Spartemis (Space Artemis) - he’s in space now and I wasn’t sure how to tag those posts by book

AU or Canon Divergence AU - I also usually tag the more easily named aus like superhero au or role swap au along with these

Crossover (except alexmis to avoid clutter) - tagged with [title of the thing], and [name(s) of character(s)]

Not AF - I post off-topic like three times a year max, but this is just in case. Sometimes I’ll put Alex Rider posts on this blog so they don’t get lost on my main.

Tags For The Blacklist

Blood CW

Eye Strain

Long Post

Wow, that’s a lot! If you notice something missing from any of these lists feel free to let me know!

Also: because I don’t know how to effectively use links and I almost exclusively use mobile, I’m going to reblog this a few times with all these in the tags, in the same order they appear in here

UPDATE: I found out how to link tags so I’m working on that rn

hey so I agree with a lot of the stuff in your post about the transphobia involved in the origin of the pansexual label, but I just have one question: what are the actual impacts of people with good intentions calling themselves pan? If you don't hate pansexuals and consider them bi, why type up a paragraphs long manifesto on the harms of the origin of the label if it means the same thing in the way that most non transphobic people (your audience) use it? a lot of identities can be used in transphobic ways (like bi and lesbian and anything really) and plenty of valid identities from problematic roots and evolve over time as people use them differently (queer, transsexual). so how is a person with good intentions using a not-perfect label in a way you don't like a threat to the community? if someone is using the label pan transphobically, wouldn't their bigotry exist independently? if pan people do not act in transphobic ways besides using the label pansexual, realistically what is changing if they call themselves bi beyond holier-than-thou aesthetic activism? plus, a blog on the internet isn't going to get everyone to stop identifying as pansexual, especially considering multiple prominent celebrities ID as pan. so why spend all that energy quibbling on semantics because some bi people use a slightly different word when you could be worrying about Literally anything else? just feels like you want to find something to argue about lol. extremely disappointed that I had to break a mutual

im going to respond to each thing you bring up chronologically- im not trying to nitpick or prioritize certain things you say ill just forget things if i go out of order and i dont want to miss something important. ALSO! i will be typing less formally (like keysmashes and shortening words n stuff) in this response than my og post bc its 1am as im starting to type this so im tired but i want to be clear that i am like. taking this seriously and im not like. mocking u in anyway if it could read that way?? i hope not but just in case anyways here it goes!

in terms of actual impact people with good intentions identifying as pan: honestly im not  sure the full scope of the impact this has, so ill only be speaking to what ive personally seen which might not be all. but like... id argue my younger self has good intentionals iding as pan. i wanted to support trans people, even if i didnt understand a lot of the nuance involved. as a result of this, i developed a sense of superiority over other bisexuals and a mentality that bisexuality was a primitive and lesser sexuality. that mentality is harmful, and although im not sure if it affected bisexuals around me (of which there are many most of my friends are bi ajfjfjf) its still a harmful mentality and can easily hurt people even if i specifically didnt. also using it even with good intentions, which i know many people have, still spreads and further normalizes a label that imo can not be separated from its transphobic origins. this effect is not as extreme as other forms of transphobia and biphobia by A LONG SHOT. the bi community faces a lot of other issues but that doesnt mean this one isnt worth addressing if that makes sense?

if i dont hate pansexuals: ik this is part of a larger point which i will adress but i specified this in my post bc i see a lot of other posts that are negative towards pansexuality have "i hate pan ppl" somewhere in it or a close equivalent. i do not shame these ppl for their anger, i just wanted to be clear i think a lot of pan ppl are bi ppl with good intentions choosing a label they dont fully understand based on a misunderstanding of bisexuality.

why write a paragraphs long manifesto on the harms of pansexuals origin: ok 😭😭 the real reason here is that im literally just bad at summarizing. like thats literally it. i also like talking, its a bad combination. plus ive been thinking abt this for like. over a year im not even kidding and just like i have a lot of thoughts and figured if i was going to bother making my own post instead of rbing someone elses that i might as well get everything i wanted to say off my chest. ALSO BTW i literally got an ask like a week ago that was several paragraphs long asking me to explain my thoughts on why pan was harmful and some other stuff so like. this is partially responding to that and partially just me wanting to air my grievances ? idk if thats the right expression 😔😔

why write the post if my audience of people who identify as pan arent doing it in a transphobic way ? again sorry i didnt really understand the phrasing so i hope this is a vaguely correct summary!! um but like... again imo i think pan cant be separated from its transphobia and like. again imo iding as pan is like. a transphobic action/choice? obviously one transphobic thing does mean someone necessarily is like officially a Transphobe (it CAN be depending on the action but i dont think that applies here) but that doesnt mean there arent problems with what they did. this is like very complicated, but like. someone doing something harmful without the knowlege that its harmful doesnt make that person a bigot by any means it just means they didnt know. and i feel thats the case here? a lot of ppl (myself included until recently) know next to nothing abt pansexualitys origins so a trans inclusve sexuality might seem like a safe and good bet just because they dont know too much abt it, and like? i cant hate those people cause that was me for 5+ years and djgjfjdj you just dont know what you dont know!

basically i think iding with a transphobic label is inherently a singular transphobic action that doesnt make the person transphobic by itself, but is still a transphobic instance.

a lot of identities can be used in transphobic ways like bi, lesbian, etc.: this is true and a point i attempted to make on my original post, but i might not have clear enough. my issue with pan is specifically that it is a transphobic response to a preexisting identity. lesbian isnt an attempted trans inclusive indentity that replaced an identity that already existed (which have many trans ppl identifying with the og label). transphobes can use whatever labels they want, but transphobes using a label vs a label having a transphobic origin is very different. bigots use inclusive and supporting language for their bigotry all the time but language that originated with that bigotry is worse.

many valid identities stem from problemstic origins (like transsexual and queer) but the words evolve: ok my paraphrasing is a little weird there. anyways. the thing here is that. those are slurs. reclaimed slurs that can be empowering to many people, yes, but slurs nonetheless. reclaiming a slur is taking a harmful word and wearing it as a badge of pride. first off, pansexual is not a slur (ur not implying that in anyway just. saying) and it isnt being reclaimed when people dont treat it as having harmful origins. transsexual is the way some people identify but ppl acknowlege its a slur and originates from transphobia. ppl love to act like queer isnt a slur, which is an issue in and of itself, but just. factually it has historically and is currently being used against ppl with the intent to hurt them. pansexual isnt on the same level as these and other words like the f slur, d slur, etc. pansexual originates from trans and biphobia WITHIN the community and not outside of it, and most pansexuals dont see themselves as reclaiming the title because they dont think anythings wrong with it in the first place. and reclaiming it just seems unnecessary considering its history? theres no empowerment from using pan as a label as opposed to queer or transsexual, and it just divides the bisexual community for no reason.

how is a person using a not-perfect label a threat to the community? ok i dont think its a threat but still an issue if that difference makes sense? id like to reiterate a few things ive said before, but for me personally, it made me look down on bisexuals and see them as lesser, and it made people around me see pan as the "trans inclusive" sexuality as opposed to bisexuality, and basically its usage just leads to further biphobia. is this the worst of biphobia? no!!! but its still biphobia and why not attempt to target and minimize that? i have no way to singlehandedly stop biphobia, but my post might get through to my friends who id as pan and that small thing is better than nothing.

if someone used the pan label in a transphobic way, wouldnt that bigotry be different from people using it not transphobically?: someone claiming all bi ppl are transphobic and only pan is the acceptable label is obviously a lot worse than someone iding as pan and saying bi/pan solidarity but again, the second isnt not an issue because the first one is a bigger issue, its just a smaller issue in comparison. i wouldnt say the bigotry is different, one is just worse than the other, but it still has the same problems.

if pan people dont do anything transphobic other than id as pan then what changes with iding as bi over pan other holier-than-thou activism: its just one less person using a transphobic label? which isnt that big but it might lead to their friends stopping iding as pan and cause fewer people around them to see bi as a transphobic identity. which is small scale stuff, i wont try to blow it out of proportion, but thats still a step in the right direction and hopefully more people follow with it. its not terribly huge or lifechanging but something small that may only affect the people close to you is still something rather than nothing.

a blog the internet isnt going to get people to stop iding as pan: oh absolutely not. honestly i expected to get unfollowed/blocked more than change peoples minds regarding the pan label (im surprised i only lost two followers so far honestly) but again, someone literally asked me to do this and i wanted to be clear on my stance on the label, since in the past ive been supportive of it. im not expecting the post to get more than five likes, its more directed to my followers rather than the internet as a whole. im not expecting a large impact, im hoping to change the minds of my followers and friends who id as and support the pan label. thats it. if something bigger comes from it- great! but thats not what im aiming to do.

prev point + many prominent celebrities id as pan: the first name that comes to mind is someone im not a fan of for separate reasons but thats irrelevant. i mean im repeating myself a bit but some celebrities in the past validated and made me feel excited abt my identity as a pan person when they came out, and it justified the label to me, even when i had doubts. i have never interacted with a celebrity and do not plan to change their minds abt their identity. again, my post was for my friends and followers and maybe who ever was scrolling through the biphobia tag and decided to read my post.

why spend that much energy worrying abt the pan label instead of something else: ive spent waaaaay more energy thinking abt a singular meme i didnt like regarding my favourite rwby character so like. maybe i just overreact to things lol. maybe i have a lot of energy and since i cant talk my friends ears off abt my favourite fruits or the different voting methods i learned in my math class or what would dreams taste like, then i gotta put my energy into something. idk. i have a lot of energy and honestly? this didnt take that much. but i felt it weighing on me as my friends talked positively abt the pan label, when i felt guilty for the superiority i felt over my bi friends INCLUDING my best friend and favourite person in the world so like. i spent enough energy worrying abt it, and like. in hindsight since its been over 12 hours since posting it, im thinking abt it less. i was more worried abt feeling dishonest with my friends than actually worrying abt pansexuality, but i figured i owed them an explanation for why my feelings around it had changed.

just feels like you want to find something to argue about: okay i DO love arguing but im not pulling this out of my ass for fun. its in response to posts ive seen on my dash, asks i recieved abt pansexuality, and my way of letting people know my views have changed and why since i know at least some people are curious.

i am sorry to lose a mutual as well, and i genuinely hope things go well for you, but uh yeah thats that.

again, if people have further questions im willing to answer them i just might take a while bc i have school and other stuff 2 do but uhhh yea sorry if im clogging ur dash sjfjfkkf

thank you for this one! i had a lot of fun with it uwu

“kidnapped?” // “spread your legs,be free”

Roy groaned as his head rolledpainfully only to strike something incredibly hard. His eyes opened groggily tofind himself staring at a concrete wall. His training kicked in and he stilled,trying to take in as much of his surroundings as possible without giving awaythe fact he was awake.

His hands were bound behind his back bya thick rope. His hands were covered by a familiar cloth, so he noticed hestill had his gloves on. He smirked to himself. Idiots.

The next thing he took stock of was hewas on his left side and his head had collided with the wall in front of him.His fingers twitched so see if there was anything behind him, but he could onlyfeel air. The same went for his feet.

Taking a moment to listen, he discernedno walking or voices nearby. There was the sound of breathing coming frombehind him though, so he continued to pretend until he could tell who it was.

Roy couldn’t tell how long he waited,but eventually the breathing changed and someone groaned.

A woman, more noticeably. It appearedthey’d suffered the same fate he had.

“Ah,” the woman muttered inpain and Roy’s stomach dropped when he recognised the voice.

“Lieutenant?” he asked quietly,and the breathing stopped all together. “It’s Mustang. You’re behindme.”

There was no reply as she no doubt ranher own assessment, similar to his. Finally satisfied, she spoke.

“Sir? What’s happening?”

“I don’t know, but I assume we’vebeen kidnapped.”

“Kidnapped? Are you forreal?”

“What?” he spluttered. Whywould he lie?

“Kidnapped by who?”

“I don’t know. I only woke up ashort while ago.”

Hawkeye huffed to herself and Roy heardher move. Deciding himself that it was safe, he too sat up -

Only for his head to collide with theceiling.

“Motherfu -!”

Hawkeye shushed him violently.“Quiet!”

“Quiet?” he exclaimed as hisbody rocked as a reaction to the sudden pain. “That hurt like a bitch.I can’t be quiet right now!”

“So help me god, if you don’t shutyour hole I will kick you,” she hissed, her face suddenly very close tohis. Her breath caressed his face and Roy shivered at the thought of the two ofthem being pressed together in this cell -

Not the time, Roy!

He did as he was told and groanedquietly to himself, trying to limit the amount he was rocking back and forth asthe sharp pain turned to a dull ache.

“Okay, we’re good,” Hawkeye announcedquietly.

Roy gasped loudly, eyes popping open.“Oh my god, my head!”

“Okay, where are we?” Hawkeyeasked, ignoring him and looking around the very tight space. Roy shiftedso he could get more comfortable and he bumped into her, knocking theLieutenant off balance and she fell back and bumped her head against the wall.

“Really?” she exclaimed inirritation, her expression pained.

“Sorry! There’s not a lot of roomin here in case you hadn’t noticed,” Roy grumbled. “I’m trying to getcomfortable. I’ve got a bony ass.”

“Well you’re a pain in my ass andno amount of trying is going to get rid of you, so shut up and deal with it.” Roy frowned at her. She wasirritable today. "Let’s just figure this out, please, before anything elsegoes wrong.”

They spent about half an hourstrategizing. Roy had easily burned the rope of their wrists and ankles, sothey now sat cross legged facing each other, shoulder hunched and head at anodd angle to avoid hitting it against the ceiling.

There was no window to speak of in theroom, just a door that ran the height of the room. The walls were concrete allaround, the same with the ceiling and the floor. Roy was sure if the room wasupside down, he wouldn’t be able to tell which way was the correct way up.

“Through there?” Roy asked,pointing at a vent behind Riza. It would be tight - very tight - but hewas sure they’d be able to make it.

“Can you melt the metal so we canget through?”

She rolled her eyes at his cocky grinand just shuffled out of the way. “Can I melt the metal?” he muttered to himself,scoffing, as he moved towards it.

Two minutes later, they were through.

“Ladies first,” Hawkeyegestured, motioning for him to enter first. Roy huffed.

“Age before beauty,” hemuttered.

“What was that?”

“Nothing.”

“That’s what I thought.”

“Hey, can you give me anudge?” Roy asked. His shoulders were almost through, but he’d need alittle push to get him all the way. The metal was already beginning to dig uncomfortablyinto his skin.

What he didn’t expect was Riza toforcefully shove him through the gap. By literally kicking his ass.

“A nudge! A nudge, not a karatekick!”

“Get moving, Mustang.”

“I can’t, I’m still stuck.”

“Come out then,” she sighed. “I’ll gofirst.”

Roy did as he was told, but an idea occurredto him and before the Lieutenant could move, he tried once more going feetfirst. He made it in no problem, which he was grateful for. Not that Roythought she would, but he didn’t need Hawkeye to shove him in by his head. Shefollowed suit and the pair were shimmying through the ventilation system. Theypassed by gratings and vents but saw no one. When they approached a ratherpromising looking door – one that screamed “exit” at them – they paused. Roycraned his neck to look at Hawkeye, who nodded. The space was tight, but theycould make it. Roy shuffled to allow her to go first, as she requested. Just asHawkeye was about to open the grate, she froze as she and Roy both begun tohear footsteps and muffled voices.

Roy’s head snapped up to hers, eyeswide as he realised that in this position, Hawkeye could be seen. He glanceddown and his stomach dropped when he realised there wasn’t enough room in the restof the vent by his feet for him to shuffle down. Moving back the way they’d comewould make too much noise. The metal they were lying on now was solid, whereasthe stuff they’d moved over before felt flimsy and every movement felt like agunshot. A rushed escape back up there would give their position away.

“Shit,” Roy stated, panicking.

“Move,” Hawkeye commanded.

“What?!”

“Move.”

Her legs were suddenly down by his sides, andwrapped around his torso, crushing his arms against his chest. There was astrong leg by his ear and in any other circumstance Roy would be loving this, however the mixture of fearand desire inside him made a very confusing cocktail of emotion.

The Lieutenant’s legs had a grip on him so tight hesqueaked.

“Lieutenant,” he choked outas her thighs begun to crush him. Roy supposed he deserved this. No, he knew hedid.

The grip on him tightened.

Little did Roy know it was to try andmake herself less conspicuous and was not some kind of punishment for him.

“Shh, they’re coming.”

“Jesus Christ, woman,” heexclaimed, pained. “You could crush a watermelon with those legs.”Again, they tightened on him.

“Don’t tempt me,” theLieutenant muttered. He could hear the edge in her voice.

“Riza -”

“Shut up,” she hissed as theyheard footsteps approaching. As Roy lay there, partially mortified, partiallyturned on, he thought about how his life had reached this point; lying in anair vent trying to escape from being kidnapped with the thighs of hisLieutenant gripping his upper arms and crushing him so they could both fit inthe space.

Lucky was one word he’d use. The other…Well, Riza had a very good grip on him.

The men had passed, and Hawkeye still hadn’t letgo.

“Lieutenant, you can let go now,” he whispered,pained.

She didn’t.

“Lieutenant. Lieutenant –”

“Shh.”

“Please open your legs.”

“Excuseme?”

“Hawkeye, please,” he gasped in pain.

“What –”

“You know what I mean! Open them. Move them. Spread your legs,“ he begged, not ashamed to do soanymore. "Be free!” he urged, pushing the vent open with all his might and the best he could in the situation.

“Do you really think you’re in anykind of situation to be making comments like that?”

“Riza!”

The pressure on him loosened suddenlyand he gasped in relief and pain.

“Oh, thank god,” he babbled.

“Shut up,” Riza barkedquietly. “Stop being such a baby.”

“My whole life flashed before myeyes.” Riza snorted. “I’ll admit that would’ve been a beautiful wayto go.” The Lieutenant exited the vent and didn’t appreciate his joke andif looks could kill Roy would’ve drop down dead in that instant.

“I will wrap you up in these legsagain if you continue to act like an idiot.”

“Noted.”

He shimmied out of the tight gap anddropped down into a white hallway. Taking stock, he noticed it was empty andthere was a corner not ten pages away from them.

“I thought you would’ve been veryused to getting yourself out of tight spaces like that, sir,” theLieutenant murmured as she continued to walk ahead, completely nonplussed byher comment. “I’m surprised you weren’t able to smooth talk or slide yourway out of my grip in there. It appears the rumours as false,” sheshrugged.

Riza rounded the corner, leaving Roystanding with his mouth hanging open in the hallway.

“Wait, what rumours?”
