#pain and suffering for everyone

Winks at everyone on the dash

[inkskinned]

the thing is that they're so fascinated by sex, they love sex, they can't imagine a world without sex - they need sex to sell things, they need sex to be part of their personality, they need sex to prove their power - but they hate sex. they are disgusted by it.

sex is the only thing that holds their attention, and it is also the thing that can never be discussed directly.

you can't tell a child the normal names for parts of their body, that's sexual in nature, because the body isn't a body, it's a vessel of sex. it doesn't matter that it's been proven in studies (over and over) that kids need to know the names of their genitals; that they internalize sexual shame at a very young age and know it's 'dirty' to have a body; that it overwhelmingly protects children for them to have the correct words to communicate with. what matters is that they're sexual organs. what matters is that it freaks them out to think about kids having body parts - which only exist in the context of sex.

it's gross to talk about a period or how to check for cancer in a testicle or breast. that is nasty, illicit. there will be no pain meds for harsh medical procedures, just because they feature a cervix.

but they will put out an ad of you scantily-clad. you will sell their cars for them, because you have abs, a body. you will drip sex. you will ooze it, like a goo. like you were put on this planet to secrete wealth into their open palms.

they will hit you with that same palm. it will be disgusting that you like leather or leashes, but they will put their movie characters in leather and latex. it will be wrong of you to want sexual freedom, but they will mark their success in the number of people they bed.

they will crow that it's inappropriate for children so there will be no lessons on how to properly apply a condom, even to teens. it's teaching them the wrong things. no lessons on the diversity of sexual organ growth, none on how to obtain consent properly, none on how to recognize when you feel unsafe in your body. if you are a teenager, you have probably already been sexualized at some point in your life. you will have seen someone also-your-age who is splashed across a tv screen or a magazine or married to someone three times your age. you will watch people pull their hair into pigtails so they look like you. so that they can be sexy because of youth. one of the most common pornography searches involves newly-18 young women. girls. the words "barely legal," a hiss of glass sand over your skin.

barely legal. there are bills in place that will not allow people to feel safe in their own bodies. there are people working so hard to punish any person for having sex in a way that isn't god-fearing and submissive. heteronormative. the sex has to be at their feet, on your knees, your eyes wet. when was the first time you saw another person crying in pornography and thought - okay but for real. she looks super unhappy. later, when you are unhappy, you will close your eyes and ignore the feeling and act the role you have been taught to keep playing. they will punish the sex workers, remove the places they can practice their trade safely. they will then make casual jokes about how they sexually harass their nanny.

and they love sex but they hate that you're having sex. you need to have their ornamental, perfunctory, dispassionate sex. so you can't kiss your girlfriend in the bible belt because it is gross to have sex with someone of the same gender. so you can't get your tubes tied in new england because you might change your mind. so you can't admit you were sexually assaulted because real men don't get hurt, you should be grateful. you cannot handle your own body, you cannot handle the risks involved, let other people decide that for you. you aren't ready yet.

but they need you to have sex because you need to have kids. at 15, you are old enough to parent. you are not old enough to hear the word fuck too many times on television.

they are horrified by sex and they never stop talking about it, thinking about it, making everything unnecessarily preverted. the saying - a thief thinks everyone steals. they stand up at their podiums and they look out at the crowd and they sign a bill into place that makes sexwork even more unsafe and they stand up and smile and sign a bill that makes gender-affirming care illegal and they get up and they shrug their shoulders and write don't say gay and they get up, and they make the world about sex, but this horrible, plastic vision of it that they have. this wretched, emotionless thing that holds so much weight it's staggering. they put their whole spine behind it and they push and they say it's normal!

this horrible world they live in. disgusted and also obsessed.

Media: here is a realistic sibling relationship that clearly displays the love they have for each other even if they haven't seen each other in ages and were separated by war

Half the fandom for some fucking reason: clearly they hate each other!

too many thoughts about director reca x breakout starlet reader in her first leading role (and reca of course credits himself for ‘creating’ her) x established western-cowboy actor boothill

like reca’s shooting a spaghetti western and you’re the leading lady; some sweet dame in the town the cowboy enters. probably the sheriff’s daughter who doesn’t know how gorgeous she truly is but the whole town is smitten with her. little angel of a girl who everyone thinks is waaaay too good for the lone cowboy (boothill)—a rugged but handsome man who, as per typical genre conventions, is merely passing through the town; an anti-hero who eradicates the threat and saves the day but is too broken and barbed to stick around, settle down, start a family like he ought to. it’s heartbreaking, and you long for him and he pines for you, the yearning so potent it’s nearly streaming past your lashes and staining both your cheeks…but the cowboy must go, because he always goes—onto the next town, to solve the next problem, to break the next heart.

you and boothill have great chemistry, and reca’s absolutely thrilled about it…until your chemistry becomes a little too real—which makes for terrific cinema but terrible jealousy on the part of the director! and yet, despite how much it irks him, how much it feeds and nurtures the green-eyed creature of envy sprouted within his ribcage, reca might even stroke that drama—poke it, prod it, push it—because he knows it will make for realistic and raw cinema; a film that will touch the souls of its viewers…and he is more than willing to suffer for his art.

you guys ever think about how, at the beginning, we were shown MC being sad and brokenhearted over her favorite band disbanding一so much that she wished she never met them in the first place.

i wonder if she will have a similar stance regarding the ghouls?

or this time... will she finally be able to say, "Despite everything, I'm glad I met them"?

Head cannon that every MXTX novel has an Unreliable Narrator thing going on.

Svsss? Everyone agrees. Tgcf? Xie Lian was stabbed a hundred times (and that wasn't even the most painful experience he had to go through) but none of his monologues include look the world abandoned me in this past 800 something years and I'm still recovering but hey!

Instead it's just a scrap collector gege and his dumpster diving young master boyfriend. Going on blind dates. (book arcs but given how calm they are, it might as well be a date. But a blind one because both of them are denying it for their own reasons.)

I'm 100% sure this is the same case for Mdzs even though I haven't read the novel, I did watch and have enough contributing spoilers to excuse my procrastination.

SEMIFINALS #2:

crashing vs. stardust

Fresh pressed suit and tie Unimpressed birds sing and die Can talk my way out of anything The foreman reads the verdict "In the above entitled actions We find the defendant-" Guilty (Guilty, guilty)

In another life, you were my babe In another life You were the sunshine of my lifetime What would you trade the pain for? I'm not sure I used to be a real go-getter I used to think it'd all get better

Pain Sharing AU:

Spirit (Tracks) is crying in Phantom's castle confused as all hell wondering where the random pains are coming from

Hehe ok so I know we joke about spirit feeling everything and having a bad time thanks to the pain sharing curse

But like, in the au's canon he wouldn't really cause he wasn't there physically when the curse happened

Ravio can feel their pain and is connected cause of his soul bond with legend which is a completely separate thing

In reality, spirit is living his best life having tea with his princess gf while all the others are suffering and wriggling on the floor in pain cause one of them stubbed their toe against a door AGAIN

To me (because I like making myself suffer) there are 2 other types of universes where Jayce and Viktor make hextech. If Viktor is always the mage, able to go to all universes where Jayce gets stuck in that blizzard with his mom, maybe he doesn't exactly know how that particular universe ends and is just searching for the exact one Jayce (and also Ekko) can save.

Viktor dies before Jayce can save (also doom) him with the hexcore. Maybe it's before the explosion, maybe he dies with Sky, maybe he just goes to bed and doesn't wake up. Jayce deals with this however you interpret. Maybe he goes crazy and destroys universes trying to find a healthy Viktor who won't die before their dream can be fully lived. Maybe he intentionally creates The Machine Herald this time. Maybe he stops inventing and just. Becomes a loner.

They are able to create hextech without any death/damage at all. Maybe Jayce and Viktor (who could find out about it before Jayce's place is robbed) and discover it's potential somewhere else. Maybe they start in Zaun and end up improving the lives of everyone there that Silco and Vander reconnect, Powder and VI stay sisters, everyone stays alive. Maybe Viktor is able to find a cure for his illness (and therefore find no need to experiment, since the fear of death will no longer control him.)
