THE NUANCE OF HASHIRAMA’S UNFAMOUS QUOTE

After Hashirama wins a fight with Madara at the Valley of the End and subsequently impales Madara with a sword, Hashirama says to him:

Hashirama is saying this memorable quote to a dying Madara as if he was trying to justify his decision to kill Madara not only to Madara but also to himself. He’s reminding Madara that he will choose Konoha over anything else (including Madara) no matter what. He’s firm and assured with his decision. However, he’s not sure if it’s the right decision and he perceives his action as desperate. In other words, He feels like he had no other option, and he feels similarly to a rat being forced into a corner. He can only jump at his enemy or he (and everything he worked for) dies. He blames Madara for him having to face this hard situation. He doesn’t feel like he‘s won, there’s no movement in his face to suggest that, he’s angry at best for being cornered. Rather than that, he feels like he’s lost together with Madara.

However, this quote alone without context (as it’s usually thrown around) doesn’t tell us the whole story of Hashirama’s point of view that was shaped by his upbringing, experiences and dire situation.

When Hashirama says he would kill his child if the child was a threat Konoha, He doesn’t talk about a literal six years old child who came with a wooden sword. And he doesn’t talk about an adult child he could easily overpower and deal with them verbally. Instead, he talks about an offspring that would be at least on Hashirama’s level of power who would try to destroy Konoha and everyone in it, including babies and families. To put it more simply, it‘s not about only protecting Konoha as a political system but about actual people living there who wouldn’t stand a chance against said offspring and would eventually die if the offspring wasn’t stopped. Considering all previous points, Hashirama wouldn’t kill his offspring as a form of punishment, but out of necessity and out of desperation. This is also how he feels about killing Madara – he doesn’t want to punish Madara.

However, Hashirama doesn’t just think about it, he also says it aloud, which can give sort of dark or even cold vibes. But to understand this, we need to look at the way Hashirama was raised. He was born in a midst of wars where death was so prevalent that he becomes a little obsessed about it. His two brothers died, and we can assume that many of his friends and comrades also died. For Hashirama, death is a normalised, sad part of life and it’s not a taboo as it is later in the series. He is capable of talking about it and it, without a question, taught him to be compassionate.  

To Hashirama, death is not a punishment, but the last resort.   

Similarly, in Hashirama’s flashback, we can see where his struggles with parent/child relationships come from. His father was authoritative and abusive, which means that Hashirama was never shown a proper parent/child relationship. He struggled as a child and he probably automatically presumes he will struggle as a parent (on the other side) too. We don’t know how Hashirama was as a father and I don’t personally believe he was anything like Butsuma, but his traumatic experience with his own father probably shaped Hashirama’s view of familiar relationships. That’s why it was so easy for him to say aloud that he would kill his own offspring if they threatened Konoha. Hashirama’s feelings about family are more numb and lacking because of the abuse he has suffered. Because of that, he will never see father/son relationship as only good and loving as that’s not what he knows. Hashirama’s statement is rather dark and it lacks nurturing (that is prevalent in healthy family relationships), just as his adolescence.

Despite this, Hashirama isn’t sure if his decisions he made for Konoha were right. Madara himself warns him that his vision will bring darkness upon Konoha. Hashirama has regrets and doesn’t fully justify his decision as being right.

That said, Hashirama‘s statement to Madara about killing a family member and his regrets aren’t supposed to show him as a bad person. Instead, they humanise him and they make him seem like an individual rather than an ideal.

On the contrary, Hashirama‘s „heroic sacrifice“ (killing an enemy who was a friend) isn’t supposed to show him as a good person. He’s not just good and flawless or simply bad. He’s not just a cartoonishly evil character and neither he’s a funny and innocent himbo. He’s a nuanced character with flaws, not just an aspirational hero whose hands are clean.

No, because it shouldn’t be blamed Oliver here. Yeah, people dont have boundaries and a weird behaviour, but that doesn’t mean that we need to excuse that behaviour. If you apply that logic to everything else, how would it be?

“Oh, let’s bullied this artist because I don’t know how to have boundaries and I’ll say to them how a loser theyre and how they song flops. It’s their fault for having an account”

“Oh, let’s follow this artists because I don’t know about boundaries and I want to take a picture with them. It’s their fault for being famous.”

“Oh, let’s ask about their private lives all the times because I don’t know about boundaries and I want to know if they’re together or not. It’s their fault because they’re famous and I’m a fan and they’re famous because I’m their fan.”

Then we get mad when artists like Chappel Roan set boundaries, because it’s not normalised. What’s normalised is not having boundaries and acting like we’re 13 years old asking weird shit to their accounts. Common sense. The jokes in the fandom stay in the fandom.

Sometimes we forget that just because they’re famous, they’re not humans. Oliver should be meanier. Have a good day xx

i mean, i'm not excusing the behavior. i said that people shouldn't be dming him and i also said i don't understand why people dm him in the first place because i think it's weird to interact with celebrities. i am quite literally advocating for him to do exactly what you're saying here: he NEEDS to set firmer boundaries because it is deeply unfair that he singled out some 19 year old for saying something innocuous about him that he didn't like on a DIFFERENT PLATFORM, where legions of people have been saying the same thing. i feel exactly the same way about being on here, for the record—do you know why i rarely receive anons about things i don't like? because i block and i don't answer and i am also very clear about stuff i'm not interested in talking about. and this is on a platform where you have FAR less control over what gets sent to you than instagram. i also, for example, think it's deeply annoying when people fan the flames of trolls because, even though it's not anyone's fault that they were sent disturbing content, giving people like that attention literally makes the problem worse for EVERYONE. obviously nobody should be trolling or acting badly! but it happens. so we don't engage and we figure out ways to mitigate harm and make the experience better for OURSELVES and the people we care about. and regardless, it is truly disingenuous to act like celebrities, who are indeed human, aren't operating on a different level than regular civilians on the internet. oliver stark shouldn't be meaner, he should log the hell off. but thanks!

i regret testosterone so much. i regret a lot in my life (engaging in noncon kink shit with my consenting partner always eats me up inside. i feel like a terrible person for it and always will despite my partner telling me they were into it and wanted it) but i regret testosterone most. my voice is deeper, my genitalia is forever changed, and i grow hair on my neck. im a feminine woman now that im medicated and happier with my body, but I'll always be changed by the chemicals i put in my body when i was mentally at my lowest. i didnt even have to do therapy to get testosterone (though i likely wouldve lied and said i was fine to get it anyway.)

oh man, that really makes me sad for you :(

First of all, I don't really know why you would feel like a terrible person for engaging in noncon shit at a point where you were not educated on the risks and harm, and there is not really a way to blame you since this bs is so normalised. Especially on the side of the "dominant" person - you are perceived as a good lover if you engage with them on that

And you don't deserve to beat yourself up over taking testosterone. It's not fair, as it appears, you have already gone through enough and blaming yourself will just make everything harder. You blaming yourself and finding the fault withing yourself is probably the very thing that led you to those decisions. It's time to stop acting as though you were acting stupidly in a vacuum and start to see those things as influenced by our destructive misogynistic society - recognising that can be the first step for you to take back real agency.

So see this crap for what it is - the product of a deeply flawed upbringing, society and mental patterns, and instead of blaming yourself, break out of it :)

(at least that's how I try to see stuff for myself and it has made my life better and led me to actually change something lol)

[proudfreakmetarusonikku]

like the tradwife movement is so fucking depressing bc it’s centred around romanticising an inherently abusive dynamic. it’s a bunch of women groomed into thinking that they owe men everything for being women and that they’re crazy for not being 100% deliriously happy to be treated like a possession going around and spreading the rhetoric they were fed uncritically bc they’re terrified to not accept physical sexual and emotional violence as signs of love. like this isn’t to excuse tradwives who continue the cycle of grooming other women into being abuse victims be it their own children or people online or whatever, grooming is bad I hope that should be uncontroversial and raising someone into thinking they deserve abusive relationships and that they’re true love bc of their perceived gender being grooming should be similarly uncontroversial. but the fact that tradwives are inherently abuse victims bc their own rhetoric treats abusive marriages as perfect and how they’re born from and tools of societies ever present victim blaming especially towards women and girls is important. they’re not new, they’re just another part of the machine designed to normalise abuse and exploitation of the oppressed as not just good but beneficial to that oppressed group. and that brainwashing often works- which does not make the brainwashed any less victims, they Are being abused, but it also does not excuse them of their actions, just explains them.

[thedezzler]

Do I support Mal for what he said? No. Do I hate him? Definitely not. Because who’s the backstabber? Aerin. I am dreaming of the day y’all stop hating on Mal and hâte on the actual betrayer instead lol. I understand WHY he did it, but that doesn’t make him any better. And trust me, I’m really hoping aerin does get a redemption arc. But rn, I prefer to keep my distance. Like I get you all have your reasons, but I have mine and I’m not gonna change them. Wish I could disable the comments as I don’t want any hate cuz some of y’all be mean asf.

(Still a proud Baldur hater tho, normalise blaming everything on him lol)

[crisiscutie]

People just don't get that redemption isn't for everyone

Yes people can do it but sometimes it's best to say it's irredeemable

Sephiroth has been through so many tragedies to the point,it feels like redemption is one big joke to him,cuz he already reached the point of no return

Personally I feel like the trope of "everything is forgivable" is overused or overlooked way too often,there are things in the world that can't forgive and sometimes punishment is better than forgiveness

In Sephiroth's case, I don't think forgiveness will change anything,rather it's impossible,no one who knows him is willing to forgive him,hence some may say he has no faults at all like Hojo cuz that guy is messed up AF

Take it like this: If a guy who commits an unforgivable crime and someone says he should be forgiven based only on the fact that he was abused or insane or he went through some traumatic shit etc,it would not only feel ridiculous, it's outright selfish

Should Sephiroth be forgiven for the Nibelheim Incident just bcuz it was a crime of passion or he was mentally unstable and should get off free of guilt? No,cuz he did something terrible to others and that should be accepted

I've seen too many cases of normalisation or glorification or defence of characters' faults and apparently "you're a bitch for pointing out others' faults" these days and "it's not nice to have criticisms"

I saw some deep toxic shit about normalised toxicity in fiction lately

I mean I love Seph,but god I'm heavily aware he's evil as hell

-🌹

Yup. Sephiroth's path is set in his mind. For what reason would he deviate from his path? He decided to continue the cycle of pain. And Cloud could've continued that cycle after him if it wasn't for Tifa.

I want to state this: I'm against Sephiroth being redeemed. One reason is that no character ever deserves redemption. Redemption is a complex, grueling process that involves self-reflection, remorse, and a genuine desire to change. It requires a willingness to confront your actions and the consequences you inflicted upon others. Sephiroth, so far, has done none of this. He felt justified in his actions. And the few times when he does acknowledge what he has done? He rubs it in Cloud's face, for goodness' sake. He did this in Advent Children, 7R and even the original FF7, especially during that one iconic scene that shall not be named. Sephiroth has displayed constant cruelty to Cloud, his party and the planet. What on Gaia justifies him deserving redemption? Because of his awful and traumatic past?

Let me say this: the events leading up to and following Sephiroth's birth and childhood were undeniably tragic, and he cannot be blamed for them in any way. However, as an adult with the ability to choose his own path, he made the decision to inflict harm upon others, especially those who ZERO involvement in his suffering.

And like I said before, introducing a potential redemption arc for Sephiroth would actually undermine Cloud's own arc and diminish its impact. Sephiroth serves as a warning to Cloud. He is his dark mirror and representing of what a "hero" could become.

I would also like to mention Aerith, who, like Cloud, serves as another mirror to Sephiroth and had a deeply traumatic past. However, instead of succumbing to darkness like Sephiroth, she remained kind and hopeful. Sephiroth's redemption may also conflict with her story and role as well.

To sum it up, redemption would require Sephiroth to question his beliefs and recognize the pain and suffering he has caused. He's not going to do that. He believes himself to be in the right, and the pain he caused to be "justice" in his mind.

And as you mentioned, it's clear that forgiveness is out of the question for him now. Cloud and Tifa, in particular, hold a deep hatred towards him and are determined to put an end to him. It sucks how Tifa's grudge with Sephiroth has been largely overlooked, both by the fandom and CANON (seriously, what were the writers thinking...). Let's not forget the sheer terror poor Tifa had in 7R when she saw Sephiroth in front of Jenova's pod.

Both she and Cloud had been scarred (literally and figuratively) by this man for the rest of their LIVES. They deserve every blow they can get on Sephiroth...

Anyways, rant over. Please stop trying to make Sephiroth "work". He was a sweet baby that became an evil bastard. Let's appreciate the good and bad of the Crisis Cutie!

(Opinion piece if it isn't obvious)

I feel like men ruin everything. I always greet the security people in front of supermarkets, like with "Hello" or "Guten Tag" because I feel like it's a polite thing to do. Today this security guard went after me into the supermarket (at first I thought he wanted to check specifically me if I was stealing lol) and asked if he could have my number, and I still kind of blame myself because, of course a man would interpret a little more politeness/friendliness than usual as flirting or interest. So I feel like men ruin everything because you can't even greet them in a context where it's not necessarily expected.

that’s so crazy to me, i feel like in certain settings it’s normalised to always greet ppl like for example the bus driver as u enter the bus… i really doubt it was ur fault, he probably is a creep regardless tbh

[hyphen-8-it]

Here are some of my pre-Ep 5 thoughts. Honestly, I'm not sure if anything will go majorly wrong between our little family and the Last Bast in this episode (though it definitely might!), but there are definitely strong indicators that there's something deeply suspicious going on in this society:

This apparently heavily militarised society where violence towards other animals is deeply common and normalised. Something that is, in this manner, completely unfamiliar to our protagonists. Sounds very troubling. Combined with that, the dehumanisation—well destoatisation, I guess—of the dead, who are not referred to by name anymore and seem to be considered acceptable losses in the pursuit of their goal is also very creepy.

The goal that is ostensibly the destruction of humans, as is indicated by the tale Bennett tells them, which seems to be sort of their creation myth. But then these stoats are so alike humans in so many ways starting with the fact that they walk upright, like what purpose is that serving them?? Scary. But also that they are potentially trapping animals to breed them, like the elks in the pit as well as the rabbits. This would certainly be an explanation for how they feed thousands of stoats without completely emptying the entire forest around them, which would be an unsustainable solution. Also, how else would they have been able to support this society for 20 winters (allegedly)?

The question is also, who did they learn these things from? The tale says they "found the Light [them]selves" which is a weird way to phrase that. Like, as opposed to what? That humans made it and you just found it? In the tale it is implied that the stoats' discovery of the Light inadvertantly created the humans, which, as a human watching this, sounds deeply wrong. Almost everything that they have must have been created by humans and then been taken over by the stoats and made useful to them, instead of having been discovered by the stoats alone.

In connection to that, this is why the ability for history-writing that these stoats seem to have developed worries me. Since they normally don't live for 20 years, this seems like a very long time for inaccuracies and exaggerations etc. to be introduced. Which I find very likely to have happened considering the agressively militant tone of their tale, which paints a very one-sided, demonised picture of humans as monsters. (Not that I can blame them lol, but this scapegoating is still a worrying development to see in this stoat society.) It makes me wonder:

Is there any real intention to eradicate humans "when the time comes" or does this effort of to arm themselves serve to cover up some sinister goings-on in this society that might harm 'the little stoat' so to speak? Who is in control of the tale that everyone introduced to this society is being told, and what purpose would it serve them to have this version of the story be believed?

Documentation of my comphet throughout the years 🧍‍♀️

Okay so I thought it’d be funny to talk abt my most intense male fixation eras as a lesbian (idk i’m just shitposting into the void again) judge me all u want (it is probably needed) but i need ppl to understand the real me 🙏

IT CROPPED HALF HIS FACE OUT but i just realised if you aren’t british ur gonna have no idea who he is anyone (he’s lachlan white from emmerdale) omg this was an ERA everyone around me thought i was going insane (i was) but like they just didn’t get it he slayed so hard at a level that will never be reached (literally) also tom atkinson on sex education was like a full circle moment for me omg but anyways i was like 11-12 here these were literally my formative years this changed me FOREVER don’t judge he slayed omg

THIS okay so u can’t even blame me for this one it’s just correct. yes he’s like walking masculinity stereotype BUT he also had depth and was interesting 😌 the fanfics were SO GOOD this is when i really got into fanfiction and accidentally read smut where someone get pregnant in the hunger games 🧍‍♀️i read this one fic that was like x reader AND THEY STRAIGHT UP BOTH DIED but anyways. i read fanfics abt literally everyone thg character (read abt women and convinced myself i was still straight lmfao) but he was the stand out for me. i recently revisited this era and the fics ppl write on ao3 r INSANE omg like what is wrong with u ppl ( i say this lovingly but also wtf )

OMGOMGOMG BEST ERA OF MY LIFE u actually don’t understand u just had to be there. a solid percentage of my brain even to this day is made up of this man. this is like the stupidest thing ever but when i was like 14 i would just mirror his personality (and tone down the arsehole part obvs) so that i could get more talkative AND IT ACTUALLY WORKED nobody in the whole world will ever understand how much he means to me (i don’t rly understand it myself tbh) and ik ppl literally fuckinf despise him but i will not tolerate the dandy mott slander bc he is literally part of my core identity atp i revisit him every few months just to fully reconnect with my inner being. did anyone read Companion? that shit was crazy also i wrote a fic abt him on wattpad and people actually READ IT so anyways best era of my life it truly never got better i rly hit me peak (i had 0 friends) the few friends i had literally told me i talked abt him too much and it made them like me less 💀

this was arguably my most chill era like yea i was pretty obsessive but with marvel it’s so normalised to be so intense abt everything i kinda just fit right in. there’s too much professor fanfiction r u ppl okay 🧍‍♀️ also more actor fanfiction than i have ever seen for any other man in my LIFE but the capitalism went hard during this era the fluff was so good. arguably my most comforting era? idk i can’t rly explain that one

okay so these two r kinda completely different but also (for obvious reasons) the exact same. gotham was my most openly gay era and for that i will forever be grateful HOWEVER the kristen kringle haters were doing WAY TOO MUCH like she’s already dead why u doing her like that constantly (u will see this sentiment echoed later abt someone else hmmm i wonder who) but yea and then YES i was a paul dano lesbian (literally wasn’t out as lesbian at this point lmao) honestly this is probably the era my friends hated the most they would either awkwardly pretend to agree/care abt the shit i was saying or straight up tell me i was delusional 💀 my friends even now still call it my worst era but i LOVED IT kinda solidified my position at the bottom of the hellish secondary school hierarchy but i still had a good time. the paul dani riddler fanfics r next level tho the way ppl would just post STALKER fics constantly with like zero warnings and it was never labelled as yandere 🧍‍♀️i also got in an argument with a writer on wattpad bc they made the riddler and the oc have like a 6 year age gap and they met when she was 10 and he was like 16 💀 other than that good vibes all round

tbh this era was pretty brief i can’t fully explain what happened here like the vibes were immaculate but also insane WHY IS THERE SM YANDERE FANFIC peter parker is so nice but then in fanfics it’s like 👹 but i rly like spider-man HOWEVER this then led me to my final destination on the comphet journey…

omg were finally at the final stop the peak of comphet ( i came out as lesbian within this era ) arguably not my finest hour bc i swore i would never watch criminal minds bc the number of seasons is WAY TOO MUCH but here we are i watched it bc i read too much fanfic abt this man. i have lots of criticism for the fandom but he in himself is acc a rly good character. this was supposed to be like my ethical era but he’s acc killed like a bunch of ppl and thomas gibson is MESSY (don’t cancel me pls i say that lovingly 🫶) the haley hotchner misogyny nearly killed me off i don’t think i’ve ever been so miserable in a fandom and the fanfics kinda take feminism back a few hundred years but pretty good besides that

anyways there is my brainrot i hope the two (at most) ppl who will read this enjoyed 🫶 LETS GO LESBIANS LETS GO im gonna say i posted this in honour of international lesbian day even tho that was several days ago

[f0point5]

Hmm I feel like parasocial behaviour has been far too normalised which in turn has made people feel so entitled to almost everything. Especially with famous celebs, athletes, influencers etc. you’re not entitled to know someone’s relationship status, you’re not entitled to someone changing their personality because you don’t like it, you’re not entitled to every privy detail of their life just because they’re “accessible” to you online 24/7. You’re entitled to your own opinion of someone but it’s not normal to know absolutely everything about everyone and I think people are forgetting that a lot lately.

It really has. I’m so many areas of life and the internet.

But I really blame Liberty Media and the teams for building the parasocial relationship with drivers. They do it to sell merch and tickets and I get that but it’s gone very far now. Some of them feed into it more than others.

It’s all so gross though. I’m a nosey bitch, I like to know things about people’s lives and I think it’s fine to want to know and to consume information that’s out there. But it’s the feeling of being entitled to more information, or having genuine feelings about that information and a real emotional investment in a stranger’s life that is the creepy thing.

It’s just all so…sad.

[toastedcinnamonflakes]

It just hit me that people are complaining about "Modern dating" and how "people nowadays aren't loyal" and like...it's always been like this. Do you know how normalised having a mistress (or several) was? Or visiting prostitutes when your wife didn't want to have sex with you? (Or you didn't want another child?)

Do you know how many women of higher standing had lovers?

And even lower class people weren't always, you know, loyal. Men especially had a bit more freedom, but believe me, women weren't always sticking with their partner, either, marriage or not.

Two things have happened: 1) the playing field has been leveled, in a way (everyone can now more easily be unfaithful, not just rich people), and 2) thanks to social media, it is now much easier to see and expose a cheater. Where 100 years ago you maybe just didn't hear about it, you now get the information more easily. And I would argue, 3), especially women have come to the conclusion that cheating is, in fact, NOT acceptable, and are therefore nowadays more outspoken about a past partner cheating on them - thus it seems like there are more cheaters around, when it's just that they are more visible (combine with #2).

And people complaining about "Nowadays relationships are shit and ppl are just whoring around" is also such an OLD phenomenon. Madame Bovary, Anna Karenina, Effi Briest, to name just a few, are all novels in which that sentiment is expressed. And just like now, societal changes are blamed (in Anna Karenina it's the urbanisation process, in Madame Bovary it's women being allowed to read novels).

What I am trying to say is.... It is easy to say that "nowadays everything is just shit", when people have, in fact, always been Like That™.

[multifanlol]

Hello! I have another request if you don’t mind think you could do a Yandere Calamity trio headcanons kidnaps the reader but the reader either escapes or they’re friends come to rescue them? You can do them separately if you want

Hey! And yess I’ll do them together as it sounds interesting-

Tw: Kidnapping, yk the usual yandere stuff

Calamity trio kidnapping there s/o together but the reader escapes

After Amphibia

You hated this

You hated everything you hated them

You knew you didn’t even mean hate at that point you didn’t know what you thought of the three girls…..Anne, Sasha and Marcy

Your childhood friends

You met the friend group a little later (2nd grade) but you were still welcomed in with open arms

You couldn’t separate us when we were kids even as we aged

When we became teens though you began to notice some…..slight change of habits

You honestly felt stupid for not noticing especially since the red flags were there when we were only little kids now thinking about it they were always a little…..possessive

You noticed how they were your only friends that sticked around long enough, all your other friends suspiciously started ghosting you or just full on said they didn’t wanna be your friend…..

That’s another red flag you should of saw but you can’t blame you right? I mean there was no obvious signs they had anything to do with it…..

You almost didn’t notice there sly smiles when your friends walked away from you

As it went on they became worser but you didn’t bother leaving them as they were your only friends at the time…..

And when you did realise there wasn’t anything you could do they practically had control over you….

Sasha was like the ring leader at the time, lead whatever messed up thing they were gonna do to someone looking at you the wrong or “right” way aka showed some form of “interest in you, Marcy was like the brains forming the plan on how it’d work and stuff and Anne just…..followed along i guess you could say she talked to the person first but…..she didn’t really do much at the time

Although little did they know you actually did make a few friends only a few you met them before Amphibia how did they not find out? You weren’t even sure they usually knew your schedule but this time instead of going to school you ditched it and went to the park instead, call it dumb but with how unbelievably creepy your only friends have been getting you wanted to be away from them…..till they somehow found you at least

You ended up meeting two people there, bonded and over time you trusted them enough and became friends with them

You made sure to never and i mean NEVER make sure the girls found out that’s probably the only smart thing you did….

You remember noticing how weird they’d act whenever you’d mention a slight nice thing about someone that wasn’t them and if you told them you gained a friend? Yeah you weren’t gonna deal with that

Honestly you thank them as there probably the reason you realised how unormal the stuff the girls would do were I mean you grew up with them so you….kinda normalised it

During Amphibia you missed them although it did open your eyes a load of how they were…..too bad now there even worser I mean, they know combat now-

After Amphibia you thought Marcy would of moved that you honestly…..didn’t know how to feel sad or happy? You had no idea-

Although for some reason she didn’t move?

Like did she convince her parents or something? Maybe you should have been looking into how closely the other girls were getting to you…..

Next time you woke up it felt normal…..till you heard something on the news

It was a photo of…..you

And they were talking about you…..dying? Dying during the frog things attempting to take over the world what-

“Just putting this in here-oh your awake! Guys she’s awake!!”

“What..?”

“What is it Mar mar-oh your awake!”

“What is it guys-oh your awake….finally-“

You still remember the absolute shock and panic of your childhood friends turned into all being insanely in-love with you now kidnapping you and leaving you……you don’t even know

Like none of there parents even suspected anything, they still went to there house while one looked after you or something.

You didn’t even understand it and didn’t want to

You didn’t know how to react them telling you that they faked your death so nobody can “hurt you” or something like that and it’s for your own good

Instead things were different glancing at them first there just three teenagers, after knowing them for like a day you’ll learn these girls stopped a whole frog war i mean including you but it’s like they don’t even realise it

This time Sasha was still sorta the ring leader but she was still open to Marcy and Anne’s ideas as even though she was still an insanely obsessive person she still changed with not being controlling and manipulative anymore

She still has major anger issues though

And well the usual Marcy was the brains, and Anne was the heart this time it was all towards you

Deciding what needs to be locked up after every attempt of you escaping and failing, as an example Sasha thinks of ways to stop you from getting out, Marcy helps with that and Anne “lectures” you

You tried to escape, multiple times it just got harder and worser with every attempt you didn’t forget the time they nearly lost it with you after them giving you “everything” let’s just say you stopped trying afterwards

At least that’s what they thought

You didn’t even message your friends they just knew knowing your death had to be false in some way so they were ready to rescue you they just had to wait

Believe it or not you did actually consider just giving up and giving into them but one night Marcy was watching you but fell asleep after assuming you were asleep as you were actually a good faker after always having to do it so the girls would leave you alone you ended up getting a suspicious knock through the window, because believe it or not you still had windows, you needed air after all as they wouldn’t let you out but they were heavily boarded up

You just assumed it was some animal or something and tried to ignore it but it kept on knocking so you checked it out and nearly screamed then and there….

“OH MY-“

“SHH-“

You stopped quickly turning your head and seeing Marcy still in a deep slumber and then grabbing a plushie assuming it was you i guess

They showed you a note which read

“We’re gonna get you out of here y/n, just wait a little longer and don’t make them suspect anything we promise we’ll help you get out of here”

And just like that it begun

And here you are now it’s been months and all you’ve been doing is playing pretend with them and letting them treat you like how a little girl is with there dolls

You honestly felt like months was a little too long

You knew they were trying but you were becoming impatient so until you got a response from them you were observing different ways to escape

You ended up figuring out a way to beat them at there little “game”

You needed to defeat the three keys, brains, strength and heart

Whenever you’d usually escape they’d always be three steps ahead of you, literally

Marcy would have observed the place and see what was tampered with to show that your trying to escape, and would make it look more easy to get out of so that you’d find it believable

Sasha would be the one that stops you from escaping like easily holding you down, doesn’t matter how strong you are she IS meant to represent the strength word itself in the show

Anne would be the one to walk in the room acting like she didn’t know your little plan maybe getting you to tell her something pretending she’s gonna let you go…..she’s not manipulative she swears-

So you had it all figured out….

It was definitely more easier now as you had more privileges it still wasn’t totally easy as Sasha felt that she’s not sure if you totally gave in yet as she feels like it’s “too easy” or something like that

And just like that you got a response from your friends

It was all ready now….

And just like that you were about to jump out the window, it felt a little too easy….

“What are you waiting for, jump y/n!”

“I don’t know it just-nevermind”

“S/o, stop!”

Oh no…

“You don’t have to do this….just don’t jump out the window and we can just talk….”

“There just strangers s/o there clearly just manipulating you”

You had enough of this

“There not strangers…..there better friends then you at least…”

You noticed they had something behind them and you honestly weren’t just gonna stand there

“Goodbye….old “friends”

And just like that you were gone

“S/O!”

You couldn’t return back to your parents for now as you knew it wasn’t a very believable story and it was too risky as that’s where they would assume you’d go first

They never got over you escaping, they looked searched and even told everyone you were alive if they had to

I don’t think they’d ever stop looking

Anne would be heartbroken that you escaped after them being nothing but nice to you….

Marcy would feel stupid but be sad, stupid you outsmarted her sad that well….your gone

Sasha would be angry, would probably punch a wall at least twice a day when you escape, she would also cry while being angry

I guess it’s obvious they’d never stop looking…..not till they found you and if they did well……

Yeah 🙃

And well that’s it tell me more stuff like this you wanna see!! And hope you have a good day/night!

transmacs and their types

i need to talk abt this without ranting to my friends so here we go.

TWs: mention of £Ds

"types" of transmascs need a suitable amount of representation. i am sick of seeing fluffy haired, skinny, white, tall(ish) people be the only result when i search up some masc outfit inspo on Pinterest.

for reference: i am currently in a "my gender is wtf" kinda phase but i prefer to present in as much of a masculine way as possible as i got tired of being called "woman." it still happens tho.

i have very fem defining features, i have defined and wide hips, thick thighs and a large chest. these are things i can do nothing abt due to my current situation and things i have always been insecure abt no matter my gender identity (tho the lack of masc in it rly doesnt help).

so trying to find people who look like me is like a needle in a haystack. because the only rep you want to see are dilapdated sick victorian children looking boys. i partly want to blame the infantilisation of trans people but its also related to a lack of body diversity and racism.

i am white, white as a sheet, and if i feel shitty abt the lack of people like me, i cant imagine how plus/midsized/fem looking poc feel.

how it feels to not find a haircut you like bcs the standard is white boy fluffy hair, how it feels to grow up in cultures where everything is gendered and attitudes to gender are so extremely conservative (this also occurs in white cultures as well, but its more prevalent in poc cultures from what i've heard)

the normalisation of EDs in the trans community is a massive issue to this. i have bordered on starving myself so many times due to just wanting to look like the pretty pinterest boys. of course im not attacking people who generally are skinny, suffer from eds etc. its about the normalisation and romanticisation (?) of them. as soon as a plus/midsized/curvy transmasc enters the community, they are always invalidated so much more than the skinny, fluffy haired counterparts.

so do better, make sure everyone feels validated and for gods sake allow any and every human rights movement to get intersectional. acknowledge your troubles, yes, but empower the stories of people who dont get heard and allow their troubles to be acknowledged.

and if you took the time to read all this. thank you. thank you for hearing my and others problems, you are awesome <3

The Lewis thing is so weird, whatever happened with Nicole must’ve fucked him up real bad because how did he go from being in a serious long term relationship with a woman several years older than him to only fucking around with younger girls no strings attached? Not that I’m justifying him lmao. It makes me sad too, because while I’m all for causal sex or friends with benefits, most of these ig models are literally sex workers aren’t they? And to be clear I’m not blaming the women (I don’t want to sound like a misogynist) but how is not gross for these men who have money fame and influence to gift these girls bags or trips or whatever in exchange of sex? Especially someone like Lewis who always claims to be in favour of female empowerment and everything, I feel like this is in contrast with that, because the power dynamic here is crazy . Am I stupid for thinking this? I’m just lost as to when it was so normalised that rich men just pay escorts whenever they feel like it and it’s completely okay.

you’re not stupid at all and this is an important topic on these blogs. at the end of the day we live in a shallow world where everything is transactional. some of us operate in reality and are willing to admit it, while others believe it’s not that way although they always find out eventually. especially in a patriarchy, not saying this is right but this is how it is, women’s value is tied to their looks/sex. for men, it’s their wealth and access to power. athletes/ig baddies are engaging in a transactional relationship where BOTH parties are using their resources to their advantage. is it shallow? perhaps but is it reality? absolutely.

moving on, men cannot be feminists like it’s literally not compatible in this world. ESPECIALLY men with wealth/power who use women in this sense. yeah they’re both mutually using each other for different reasons, but that’s the misogynistic world we’ve all been socialized into. either you play the game or you let it play you. is it fucked up that older men go after younger women and buy sex? are they weird? absolutely, but that’s the reality of a patriarchy. we can definitely condemn them but we also have to take our own accountability in participating in this game and/or applauding women who do. me personally i know what kind of world we live in and i’m not gonna delude myself into thinking shit will ever be different. misogyny/patriarchy will always be here and like i said, you either adapt or suffer under it. me personally i’m not gonna suffer so y’all be safe
