#like it's such a funny concept you don't understand

[reneradbler]

It's very funny to hear absolutely groundless accusations against radfems from people who know absolutely nothing about the movement they are trying to criticize.

and we're not even talking about those situations when something can be said objectively, for example, by one radical feminist to another, like “you're idealistic/your ideas are too liberal/you support capitalism/you don’t think systemically" and so on.

no, there's something completely different.

surely many of you who have come across content from radfem activists have seen these accusations raining down on us in absolutely unimaginable quantities (usually not even suitable for the topic in the video/post):

— ugh, those fascists again

— huh, she's a terf, we don't even have to listen any further

— well, an antisemitic

— pfft, you're misogynist

and other bullshit.

It seems to me that after something like this it's useless to continue any dialogue, because the person does not understand what he/she is talking about.

they all succumb to anti-women propaganda (or judge all radical feminists based on the seceral women they've met in person. Is it worth talking about why such behavior is problematic, or is it better not to even try, because it's suddenly "different situation"?) and don't want to open their eyes to obvious things.

they don't care that radical feminism has always been about internationalism. they don't care that we criticize gender concept and practices that harm women, and not transgenderists and women themselves. they don't care what we think and say, because it doesn't bother them like at all.

they won't listen to us because we are women. because they read somewhere that all women who are radical feminists are bad, so let's organize a witch hunt of the twenty-first century, hiding behind tolerance and protection of oppressed groups (and never mind that women have been oppressed for millennia and we have the right to talk about it, to expose a system that is fundamentally dangerous for us).

I feel like the post I just reblogged pointing out the all-or-nothing in how many people interact with their deconstruction of systems of oppression is resonating for me right now with so many different moments in my life where someone decides that because some part of myself has access to some of the levers of control/influence/etc that come with the relationship to power, and decides what that must mean about all the other parts of me that might be explicitly refused access to those same levers.

It has happened in so many spaces/aspects of my life, and it can be so hard to feel safe and seen and trusting of others when that's my chronic relationship to being perceived - half truths and obfuscation.

It doesn't really change regardless of who's doing the assuming either. Like, where they land in relation to systems of power may influence which direction they lean in their assumptions about me, but even that is often inconsistent. Both sides of the equation (those who share my marginalizations and those who exist in spaces of closer proximity to power) will still do it nonetheless.

When I was doing my liminal social identities work in undergrad, this was actually a big part of the conceptualization we explored of traumtic alienation of self as individual from self as collective, and what it can do to people to exist in this liminal relationship with your environment and the people in it. As I'm starting to gather my thoughts about my stress modeling, this conceptualization is bubbling back to the surface. I'm finding myself meandering through it on both a path specifically my own, and in an effort to better understand what other paths may be available to people during their version of the process/experience.

Selfhood is so fragile, and so in need of balance between self-construction and co-construction for us humans, and that gives us so many beautiful, even spiritual, experiences of meaning making and generativity of self. It also createa many pivot points where we may find room in our path for vulnerability or blurring of self. As much as these pivot points can be distressing, I think they also sometimes become our foundations of change/personal evolution, when we find that through the distress of existing in shift, something meaningful is occurring or observable in our experience of self-in-transition.

I think something I've valued especially about my own relationship with self is its transience. It doesn't always end up somewhere I would be happy to sustain, but it always allows me a degree of comfort in complexity that I think has made my body-mind a safer place for me overall.

my mom [not here but just, in general, very very frequently]: I didn't do christmas cards on time/ at all, I am SUCH a piece of SHIT, LMAO

her sister: you know I've often wondered if we're not all neurodivergent, which would explain everything 🤔 either way it's completely understandable and absolutely okay that you're doing the best with what you've got💕

Perhaps surprisingly, Ghost is actually quite merciful in a fight!

In general, they're a lot more reactive than they are proactive.

They do always give it their all in battle, and I suppose in that sense they could be considered rather ruthless. They'll never "go easy" on an opponent, since they don't actually know how to. They've never been in a situation before where doing such a thing would be relevant or useful. Everything they've fought during their life has either been Infected, a lesser creature that they're hunting for SOUL, or a highly skilled warrior that warrants them using their full capabilities. If someone asked Ghost to go easy on them in a spar, they'd probably just be confused about what that even meant?

The closest thing they've experienced to "going easy" on someone is simply not wasting unnecessary resources on a weak opponent. For example, if a lone, regular Vengefly has decided to harass them, Ghost isn't going to bother expending their gathered SOUL and Void with a spell when it'll fall in one hit from their nail.

Though, they are also cautious about how Void affects non-Void beings when they're around someone they care about not killing. Hornet has probably drilled it into them enough that the substance their body is made of is extremely dangerous to regular bugs dgshshfs. Plus they've seen examples of what Void can do to a bug from sources other than themself. Fortunately though, their Void infused spells (Abyss Shriek, Shade Soul, Descending Dark) are generally still safe enough to use in spars!

But, whether they fight and how long the fight lasts actually depends entirely on the other person. Ghost doesn't typically make the first strike or initiate a battle, and in cases where they do (such as the Mantis Lords fight), they make their intentions very clear with a challenge first. They aren't one for sneak attacks.

If someone attacks them, then they will fight back with all their might. But, if their opponent stops fighting, then they will too.

Against Infected foes, this usually means a fight to the death anyway, since due to the Radiance's influence, the enemy will not stop trying to kill Ghost until they either succeed or die trying. But against uninfected opponents like Hornet and the Mantis Lords, they can surrender, retreat, or even talk to Ghost safely without Ghost trying to go in for the kill. Even if that opponent was intending to kill Ghost themself. And for Infected and uninfected opponents alike, if they stagger, then Ghost will stop and wait for them, just to see if the fight is done or not.

If their opponent insists on fighting, though, then Ghost will never retreat themself, no matter how badly they get hurt. They'll keep fighting until their mask breaks, and even beyond that once they have Void Heart and can survive without it. Even in simple sparring matches. Self-preservation... Is not their strong suit dhdhshf.

This also means that my Ghost would not have killed the non-aggressive Infected enemies under most circumstances. In particular, they definitely never killed the other maggots (False Knight's siblings). Not only were those guys non-aggressive; they were sapient, terrified of Ghost, did not want to fight and very clearly showed this by actively running away. Ghost did not kill them. There was no reason to. Hell, I always feel really bad killing them for the Hunter's Journal entries lmao.

Regarding the Hunter's Journal entries, actually, for the enemies that they wouldn't have killed many of (if any at all), and perhaps even just in general, I'm inclined to say that Ghost still has the entries written down, but did so after just observing the specimens rather than killing them? Plus maybe also by inspecting the bodies of already dead creatures, like how you get the Garpede entry.

At least the initial entries anyway, which I like to think were actually written by Ghost. They probably don't have any of the "second tier" entries physically in the journal, considering that some of them (e.g. The direct quotes from the Warrior Dreams) make no sense for Ghost to know. But for the ones written specifically by the Hunter, maybe Ghost would pop by to show him their journal from time to time, and that's when he'd give them his input on Hallownest's creatures?

Hey um. Here's the thing. The Clone Wars movie but. Asajj is a Jedi Master. Don't ask me how or why. Quinlan Vos is Dooku's assasain/Sith apperantice. Asajj is on Christophsis with Obi-Wan and Anakin. Her new padawan is about to arrive. She (Ahsoka) arrives. Ahsoka says Yoda sent her to be Anakin's padawan. Asajj doesn't get it. Obi-Wan is smirking in the background. Anakin also doesn't like this. He says he doesn't need a Padawan. Said Padawan and Anakin go to take down the Separatist shield generator anyway. Asajj and Obi-Wan go to negotiate with the Separatist General. Anakin and Ahsoka take down the generator like they do in Canon. Asajj & Obi-Wan fight the Separatists. Ahsoka tells them they need to go find Jabba's son or however it happens. They go together, but Asajj is also there. Everything goes the same as it does in the movie (Quinlan filling Asajj's place) but Asajj and Anakin argue much more. Until the landing platform scene where Quinlan now is starting to cut through the door. They see the Twilight. Asajj tells Anakin and Ahsoka to run with Rotta the Hutt while she holds Quinlan back (yeah Quinlan has a homoerotic fight with Obi-Wan first). They (Ahsoka & Anakin) go to Tatooine. All that shit happens. Asajj, Anakin, and Ahsoka go before the council to figure out what happened with the Padawan mismatch. Asajj really doesn't like Anakin. She tells the council he isn't responsible enough to have a Padawan etc. Anakin agrees yet he already bonded with Ahsoka so he doesn't know what to think about it. Asajj is hellbent on having Ahsoka as her Padawan basically. The council asks them both to exit the room so they can ask Ahsoka privately. Ahsoka has no idea bc she bonded with both of them. The council decided to do something that has been rarely done in Jedi history and let her be the Padawan of them both. Because it's war and weird things are happening anyway. Asajj and Anakin have to deal with it. It's funny as fuck. Workplace comedy. Romantic comedy but not romantic. The Clone Wars is much better. They're all idiots. Boom. Just made TCW interesting for myself.

I know it’s a funny joke on this webbed site to be like ‘haha I know my blorbo better than the person who writes them’ but it is no longer a joke for me. I know ork-0 better than rob david and I need to break into mattel to save him right now

[icharchivist]

one unanimously good thing about the ff7 remake though is that i see more and more people realizes that Cait Sith/Reeve is such a funny character worth talking about. Hell yeah.

liking Lute is a curse when you live in this fandom, really. love my girl but eventually you will always run into an [redacted] fan and it's humanly impossible to feel peace after that
