#of the wretched tag

[prettyboykatsuki]

there is such a trauma to daughterhood. it comes from the lack of agency - not only from being born as a woman but existing in the world as a child. an oppression on top of an oppression. people make jokes about girls with daddy issues but nothing compares to the kind of trauma you recieve from having a complicated relationship with your mother. people talk about it so often. and it's one thing to have a mother who hates you which is always awful, but often it feels worse to have a mother who doesn't. to have a mother who is simply exhausted by the fact you were born. a mother who doesn't hate you, but loves her men more. a mother who maybe wanted to be a mom, once, and then came to realize what a thankless job it was. and she didn't want to hate you, but it was hard to love you and even harder to like you. a mother who doesn't hate you exactly, but never outgrows her desire to be attractive and beautiful and makes you her enemy in that way. or a mother who has nothing more to her than being a mother and clings to coddling you in a way thats suffocating. so many daughters develop deep empathy for the mothers because they were women, daughters, girls once. everyone deals with it differently. but at the end of it, you still need a mother and that is the most horrible and wretched part of all. the trauma of being alive, of being a woman, and of having a mother but still needing one. such a uniquely miserable feeling

perhaps the most important question i’ve ever asked:

does anyone have tips for people trying to stop being chronically late to everything in the world that aren’t weirdly judgmental and aggressive or flat out lies

strahm is so compelling to me because he’s still a hero while being such a bad person in so many ways that people you just meet in your day to day life are bad people. he is not a serial killer he’s not ontologically evil he doesn’t scam dying people out of their life savings. but he is an asshole for no reason other than to make others feel stupid he’s misogynistic he’s motivated by neurotic obsession and ego he’s dismissive etc etc but he’s still so human and we as the audience get to see him reduced down to base human terror and smallness multiple times!! we get to see the construction and performance of his personality get stripped away to expose someone who’s just a man desperate to survive in spite of his circumstances and that makes the viewer want to root for him!! regardless of his motivations and day-to-day cruelty he’s just a man who wants to survive and to protect others!! and then he dies whimpering without learning ANYTHING!!!!!

Love in this very serious chapter (Theon I TWOW) when Stannis is interrogating Theon and they both pause to mutually roll their eyes at Asha bringing her pirate polycule to the party.

Mind you Theon is currently chained up like this:

edit post nov 2023: I GOT THE HELP I NEEDED THANK YOU SOSOOSO MUCH

dramatically sprawled out on the floor

so i gotta move for the third time in that many years. unfortunately between health problems and the General State of The Economy, I have been unable to find work to be able to save any money. i have no choice but to leave the entire state. i thankfully have somewhere to go, however I need help getting there. i've been trying to do the math to get what I need to its lowest amount possible, but even that is still at least $2.5k.

after this move, i should be able to get things more stable and I might even have a couple job prospects lined up in that area, but right now I'm really scraping the bottom of the barrel funds wise and desperately need help.

if you're able to spare anything, i've set up a goal through kofi so i can track it publicly. i have trouble asking for help but i really need what help i can get. thank you, so so so much.

jjk atla au fic in the works!!!!

title: Like the Moon Haunts the Sun

@hinamie and i have been feverishly working hand in unsleeping hand on this, and, after extensive plotting and scene ideas volleyed between us, i have finally started writing. i am being consumed by this au firstly, if you haven't seen hina's concept art for the AU yet, find them here: main trio, gojo/choso/nanami, mahito/geto/yuta, yuji/sukuna/karucchi

i don't have a nice clean summary right now, BUT the non-spoiler-y gist is that it's going to follow yuji on his journey around the atla map, mastering the elements and taking on his role as the avatar. megumi, nobara, and yuji's owltiger, karucchi, will be with him every step of the way. and if he has to stop the nefarious plans of a certain corpse-possessing spirit, well... he'll do that, too.

we're pulling from both jjk and atla/lok canon and making something that's a pretty solid balance of both instead of strictly being jjk characters shoved into designated roles a la atla/lok. there will be some bends and some breaks in the way the atla world works, but canon is, after all, just a sandbox, and we came equipped with a shovel >:)

my goal is to write the fic in four parts (i'm aiming for like 50k words but who knows!), and i will start posting to ao3 once part one is done, just to give myself breathing room for chapter updates !!!

been a while since i've drawn something grossly symbolic and unnecessarily angsty compared to it's source material lol. get kymanned, losers !!

lyrics are from "it starts and ends with you" by suede, which is one of my favourite songs of all time and recently i've been plagued thinking about how the lyrics can be very kyman. like, if you get it you get it!

Now I know.

It took almost 24 hours before the first retaliation strike.

24 hours before a single innocent Palestinian civilian was hurt.

24 hours of my people being massacred.

The deadliest 24 hours of the Jewish People since the Holocaust.

24 hours in which you celebrated.

24 hours in which you watched babies behaded in their cribs and screamed that this is what decolonization looks like.

24 hours in which women were raped next to the corpses of their friends and then murdered or kidnapped, paraded in the streets like trophies, and you rationalized it.

24 hours in which elderly people, some of which are Holocaust survivors, were shot dead or dragged out of their homes, and you contextualized it, explained the geo-polotical history of the region non of you can point on a fucking map.

24 hours of innocents, babies, children, adults and elderly, gunned down like ducks in a range, held hostage and stolen, stolen from their families, from their homes, from us, and you assembled to protest against them, to justify their deaths.

24 hours of entire families annihilated in their beds, live on Instagram, and you cried for anyone and everyone but them.

Now I know.

Now I know that you will gleefully dance around my mutilated violated corpse, knowing nothing about me beyond my nationality and ethnicity.

Now I know that when I'll be brutalized, traumatized, destroyed to tiny little pieces, you will say "yes, but...".

Now I know that even though I'll fight for you and cry for you and support you in every way I can, you will never do the same for me.

Now I know.

I see you.

And I will never forget.

Wretched!Sparky. AU by @bananafire11 Lore below!

Have you ever not been able to fall asleep because of that ONE annoying light in your room? That’s Sparky’s life. An experiment to see how long she could go with that light bothering her, not allowing her to go to sleep well before she snapped. She used to be bright and colorful, but now she’s dull and unhappy. Her fire barely works anymore, and she constantly cold because of it. She was locked in a cold cellar, which if you don’t know, she needs to be very warm in order to produce her strongest fire. Her eyes are bloodshot, and she’s skinny and weak. Luckily, Ragapede and Jax found her, and against Jax’s wishes for another predator to compete and share prey with, she was finally released. She was quickly hidden away in order for Caine not to find her, but proved herself an asset by completely destroying Bubble bots in one snap, forming a taste for metal rather than organic food, which pleased Jax. She still doesn’t like him, but they formed a truce because of the situation. When Pomni arrived, she didn’t like her much either, but saw herself in Pomni, hiding from Caine and all that, and would never wish the torture all of them went through on another being.
