"This self-love is the instrument of our preservation; it resembles the provision for the perpetuity of mankind: it is necessary, it is dear to us, it gives us pleasure, and we must conceal it."

[annaofaza]

Wolfwood's arc in TriMax is all about him questioning the world, the ideals he's held all these years, all while wondering if he's good enough—for the world, for his god, for Vash, for the children he protects.

Even in his dream sequence, he can't have it all. Wolfwood so wants to be Big Brother Nico again but believes his hands are stained in blood and cannot be washed clean. He cannot put away his "work," even in his own fantasy.

We've seen Vash running away from his past and him realizing he cannot escape—and then we see Wolfwood with the same realization. Both of them believe there's no true redemption, that they're both lost, that they can't be anything more than what they've been turned into.

They're still going to fight for a better world—but one that doesn't include them in the end. They both recognize the necessity of donning their monikers and doing their duty, but that means leaving any peaceful life behind. As Vash had to cast off Eriks, Wolfwood says goodbye to Nico.

Helena Troy: Student Profile

SUBJECT TO FUTURE EDITS.

If you say her full name fast enough to slur your words together, Helena Troy sounds almost like "Helen of Troy".

Made with Picrew.

Helena (pronounced Heluna, so ヘルナ) Troy (トロイ) is primarily based on Helen of Troy and takes more inspirations from other aspects of the Trojan War. She's a senior student in from Ignihyde, in Class E (Student No. 1), doing her internships remotely.

In Japanese, Helena's name could be interpreted as "Hell, right?" as ヘル literally means hell, and ナ/な can be used to look for confirmation with someone else in a conversation.

Her birthday is February 4th. She is currently 18 years old.

With short heels, she stands at 173 cm (5' 10"), and she is right hand dominant.

The Troys are distantly related to the Shrouds, instead residing along the Southern border near the coast to Kingdom of Heroes. They do not carry the Shroud curse, but are aware of it. So to clarify: her hair isn't like Idia's. Helena dyed it blue. If left to grow out, the roots would be dark brown, and appear as a lighter brown in the Sun.

Helena doesn't realize that her family is incredibly wealthy. She struggles to recognize material-related wealth at all, having been surrounded by it for so long. Ruggie likes hanging around her, since she's willing to buy him food if he's hungry.

For some reason, she's famous among the Pomfiore students. She doesn't know why. Somebody once told her it was because of her face, which Helena felt was a backhand insult, so she tries not to interact with Pomfiore students.

4th year students are pardoned from extracurricular activities like clubs/teams. She's not supposed to be at the school during this time, but Crowley graciously allows her stay while she TAs for freshman classes in her free time (she doesn't get paid). The rest of her time is typically spent on personal projects and research, as the bulk of her internship work has to do with coding and running simulations.

Her UM is The Shining Torch, which created fire(s) that cannot be extinguished unless by her command. Limits to the size and intensity of said fire(s) is dependent on her magic reserves. Under the conditions that her magic has been tampered (such as with Riddle's Off With Your Head) the flames will exist out of her control until she has regained access to her magic.

Ortho really likes Helena and thinks her hair is cool, since "It's like onii-chan's!" In contrast, Idia and Helena don't talk much outside of administrative work.

We as Queer People have a duty to understand Pink-Washing. We must see through our identities being used to perpetutate violence.

This incredible documentary by a trans Law Professor details how this works. 7 years ago, in Seattle, they successfully worked with other activists to shut down a single pink-washed event. The backlash from the Israeli state is something we all can learn from.

As someone who has fibromyalgia and the "weather below 70 degrees hurts my whole body like it's bruised and being bumped into," I fucking love the cold now. It just feels cold? It's almost like...soft? I'm out in shorts and a t shirt and everyone else is bundled up and I'm perpetuting the "white guy in shorts and a t shirt in fucking freezing weather" phenomenon and it feels so wonderful because it just doesnt hurt.

I wanna go back in time and tell baby me "you are not being dramatic, you have a disability but it'll be okay later because there is medicine for it"

If you use semantic sleight of hand to secretly define men out of an issue, then exactly 0% of them are impacted.

Let me show you…

Men are half of ‘domestic violence’ victims. But 0% of victims of ‘violence against women’ are men.

Four in five ‘homicide’ victims worldwide are male, but call it ‘femicide’ - and guess what?

That number drops to zero too.

I know you’ve all heard the statistic that ’99% of rapists are men’, but did you know that in the eyes of the law and academia, women cannot even commit ‘rape’?

So yes – men are 99% of perpetrators of a crime that women literally cannot even commit.

My point is, language and political neologisms have become a powerful tool for erasing vulnerable men and boys, in order to then claim they “don’t exist”.

The forging of highly gendered terms as “VAWG” and “Femicide”, go against the societal tide of moving toward more gender neutral terms.

Society rightly adopts words like ‘firefighter’ to make room for a minority of women, and yet excludes a far larger proportion of female predators and male victims, with their highly gendered narratives and exclusionary definitions of sexual and domestic violence.

In fact, last year the Government went full circle: classifying abused men as victims of ‘Violence Against Women’, in the biggest and most absurd slap in the face one could imagine.

Now, a new dogmatic neologism has entered the game.

Conjured by a bunch of angry pseudo-psychologists who have betrayed children, women, and men, to prop up their own ideological beliefs.

I’m talking about the formerly named ‘parental alienation’, being warped into newly-fangled ‘child and mother sabotage’ aka CAMS.

So why do we do this? And when does it stop?

Why? Because the people who do this acquired power and resources through fraud years ago, and have perpetuted a false narrative of victimhood ever since. Any movement's ultimate goal is - or should be - to make themselves redundant and no longer necessary. But that would mean the end of the gravy-train. So it's necessary to keep finding, inventing or - as in this case - co-opting problems - again, through the only tactic they know, fraud - to claim them as their exclusive preserve. It's the self-interested preservation of resources, social and political capital, and ideological CPR.

This is a real document:

That is, violence against men and boys is counted as "violence against women and girls" statistics.

Okay so, added context on Aaron Bushell you need to know when discussing him: He was enlisted in the military, and immolated himself specifically because he didn't want to be part of the system that is perpetuting harm across the globe and saw no other way to escape.

He hoped his death would draw attention to the plight of US soldiers who WANT to leave but can't, and wouldn't want anyone else to take such drastic actions.

Answer this one publicly and disregard the other ask I sent on the topic. Soldiers don't have an easy way to "resign" if they realize they're in the wrong, and the lack of an escape route means they have the options of "kill themselves" or "rot in prison".

I have reblogged a post with links to resources soldiers can use to LEGALLY exit the military before their term of service is over. If he had been aware of those resources, he might not have taken such drastic action.

Jesus Christ.

All two of my F/F fics for FZ involve Jody even if one is anime verse and one is game lmfao not to perpetutate the myth that Jody is the Only FZ Woman Ever but that's just how it ended up. There aren't many female charas to begin with but I think I could probably swing some Princia/Lily if I tried 🤔 Sheltered princess/child soldier? Yeah there could be something there

[destinyc1020]

Whats the point of this convo, both timmy and charles melton said some reprhensible things and their are consequences for ones actions, if you choose to support them or not then thats on you. What charles melton said was hurtful and fatphobic and thats wrong as hell, if people choose not to support him then thats totally fine and within their right tp do that. Timmy perpetuted hurtful islamphobic, zionism apologia rhetoric that undermined a genocide like if people choose not to support him then thats totally fine and their right to do so. Like this isnt brain surgery y'all 😭😭😭😭😭😭

I dont care if what you said is a decade old, what was said is wrong.

[absurdthirst]

Dude, let's be clear. You write a lot of pieces with assault, abuse and degradation. You're really good at flipping the script to fit your most recent viewpoint, like your white knighting post about PeOpLe BEinG GrOsS with Pedro on interviews as if you andall your flying monkeys don't perpetute that "spit in my mouth sorry daddy sorry daddy spank my pussy daddy" bullshit. Own your shit, Kerri.

Learn to spell my name dumbass.

Fun fact: my stories have WARNINGS on them.

I need to talk about my DID more. I just had a conversation with my parents about things, and the amount I have realized that the DID still effects my life, fuck.

I need them to be able to understand how my memory does things, that there's situations in which my memory will change, that I need them to bear with me as I try to explain what my head is doing and how they can help me remember things but then I find out an alter really does not like talking to them and that most conversations happen between that alter and them and FUCK

I though I could ignore this. That I could just front stuck and have a normal memory somewhat and be able to be a consistent person but I can't.

But then how am I supposed to make them understand? The parents are so fucking anal about being 'this is all up to you' but then I tell them 'i get that but I've got literally th one disorder that makes that less true' and they just call it excuses. Like no, acknowledging that I'm like this is not an excuse, you calling that an excuse is your excuse to ignore that I legitimately have to do things differently.

Fucking. Fucking FUCKING FUCK SHIT

WHAT'S THE POINT

WHAT'S THE POINT? WHY DO WE ALL JUST CARRY ON IN A WORLD STACKED UP AGAINST US? WHERE ENTIRE LIVES ARE RUINED BY A SYSTEM THAT LIVES BY PERPETUTING PAIN ON THE PEOPLE IT CLAIMS TO BE ASSISTING. THERE IS NO REASON A BANK SHOULD BE ABLE TO KEEP SOMEONE FORM FINDING HOUSING. THERE IS NO REASON INSSURANCE CAN DENY MEDICAL CARE. THERE IS NO REASON FOR WATER TO COST SO MUCH. THERE IS NO REASON TO LET PEOPLE STARVE TO DEATH WITH THE ABUNDANCE OF FOOD WE HAVE. THERE IS NO REASON TO RUIN A LIFE BECAUSE THEY EXIST SLIGHTLY DIFFERENTLY IN A SYSTEM THAT WAS BUILT FOR NOBODY. THE POWERS AT BE MUST BE BROUGHT DOWN SO THE AVERGAE LIVING BEING MAY FIND COMFORT AND SAFTY IN THEIR LIVES. CAPITALISM IS A POISON THAT HAS SEEPED IT'S WAY INTO THE VEINS OF EACH AMD EVERY LIVING THING AND MUST BE BURNED TO THE FUCKING GROUND

I am me and me is we and we is I and them. The system doesn't care for anything but big number. Big number wants only to kill. Big number leads to spilled oil, to 50 companies causeing 75% of global warming, to choices made that bring plague to the poor, that strip the cloths off working peoples backs, that leave them parched cold and hungry.

I want to start a fire. And I want to watch it spread.

Eloise's behaviour is completely opposite from her speech. When she's dancing with that guy and he talks about the women from the ton she defendes them and then treat them like shit. I think that the two things that got me more angry than anything was

1- her saying she was happy because "there would be another intelligent woman in the house", like girl... Your mother is right there and you're basically calling her stupid, don't disrespect like this, she's never done anything to deserve this.

2- her saying that Theo was one of the only good things in her life! This isn't an anti about the ship, but more like she's privileged, rich and has a family that loves her despite everything and would never make her marry against her will. Ok, she might be unhappy with her role in society but she really needs to put things in perspective

I have come to see it as the show trying to showcase how a privileged young woman can grow up to be very inmature because she's left unchecked so much and given the freedom to do what she wants without her well meaning family warning her of the consequences

In a way show Eloise mentality is a little like Emma Woodhouse, not in the way Emma manipulates situations to go her way. But in the way Emma thinks she's the one who knows best and is equiped to look down on other women because nobody has ever taught her that she shouldn't.

(Knightley does try to instil this in Emma and of course she falls inlove with him. The one man who lovingly tells her she needs to change the selfish way she relates to other people)

Eloise thinks she knows best, that it's society who has the problem and that other ladies conforming to these rules is what perpetutes their oppression and lack of agency. When someone offers a different opinion or a perspective that could be seen as compromise, Eloise sarcastically lashes out and refuses to hear more, further confirming that she's not interested in any opinion but her own

Eloise is not rebelling because she's a feminist she's rebelling because if she voices her opposition to all things femenine and lashes out at the females around her. She can keep the imaginary control she has on her own life and doesn't have to be forced into giving up that control

Basically she's rebelling to prove she can. That she's in control. She is right, everyone else is wrong and this is how she proves it.

And like any privileged young woman she doesn't realize how that attitude hurts the women around her. Such as her mother, her sisters and even her best friend .

Eloise didn't defend other girls because she likes having the company and sisterhood of other females. She did it because she wanted to have a reason to pick a fight and stop the dance she was "being forced to endure" with that man

She disdains females as much as her brothers do. If like to venture that it's something she learned from Anthony. So there's a lot of internalized misogyny to unpack there.

And that's the tea
