FAMILY LAW IN AUSTRALIA

[maslows-pyramid-scheme]

I just don't see the point of a rights/liberation movement that has to shame and argue its beneficiaries into adopting its 'core' praxis. If the beneficiaries are that resistant to the praxis, then maybe it's fair to say that the particular praxis is unworkable, and that it's time for proponents of the rights/liberation movement to reconsider how they're going to address the problem (in a way that actually is achievable)?

Like, let's argue that separatism was the core radical feminist praxis (and not consciousness-raising, which actually is): if male violence, female (un)happiness and housework disparity statistics and a healthy dose of shame aren't enough to convince heterosexual and bisexual women to ditch their romantic relationships with men, then separatism can't be said to reflect the needs and desires of the affected group.

And radical feminists have two real responses:

They can either ignore the feedback, dig their heels in, and keep trying to convince women, which, I'd argue, doesn't actually help anyone - women in/open to relationships don't want to be condescended, especially by those who aren't perceived as having a stake in the issue (lesbians, bisexual women, women who don't want romantic relationships), and the women doing this inevitably end up feeling frustrated and alienated from others.

Or they can use the repeated rejections as feedback, and reconsider how they want to achieve their goal of female liberation even if women are still living with men (and this, imho, is the beauty of consciousness-raising, because it allows people to get a sense of what a group actually wants).

Separatism has been splintering the feminist movement since the 1960s; if separatism hasn't appealed to heterosexual and bisexual women until, then maybe, just maybe, it's time to get back to our consciousness-raising roots and start brainstorming what's actually achievable?

You know when I originally suggested that maybe Dragon is the one who gave Crocodile his scar and/or took his left hand --if only because [Dragon not recognizing the big scary man with a baby when he was supposed to go see his wife, assuming the worst and acting accordingly] would make for an A-Class tragedy and great fucking drama (something which I would expect to see in One Piece)-- I wasn't fully convinced with the idea, I just considdered it just another option on What Could Have Happened between those two to get us where we are ...But the more I think about it, the more I've started to kind of believe it. And for two key reasons, first being kind of everything we know about Whitebeard, and the second being the basic logistics around the suggested scenario to begin with

By which I mean; if Dragon had indeed gone to see his wife so he could deliver their newborn baby to Garp, but instead came face-to-face with a man he had never seen before but who just happened to have the exact same and very specific facial scar as his wife and/or the same god damn hook... Like I can't say he SHOULD be able to recognize Crocodile instantly, but also, surely either of those features would make him stop for a moment think and/or talk before he'd jump into action, let alone if the man had both the scar and the hook. Of course, there is an argument to be made that maybe Crocodile had a smaller hook originally that no longer fit on his wrist after getting jacked so maybe Crocodile just wasn't wearing any hook at all, and a missing limb isn't an unusual disability on its own, at least not enough to faze Dragon. And who knows, maybe the two were supposed to meet on a dark and stormy night, in which case between the low light and the rain it could've been hard for Dragon to see any scars on Crocodile's face from a distance. These are both reasonable arguments, absolutely. But, as I have mentioned a few times before, sometimes the path of least resistance might be the most likely option as far as story speculation goes. If Crocodile had both his hands and no scar on his face, then Dragon wouldn't have had any way to immidiately and instantly recognize Croc (aside from his fashion sense) as he would've been missing (what we would now considder) his most distinquishing features. Which would it much easier for Dragon to jump into action and attack the strange man without a second thought.

And then there's Whitebeard. Whitebeard, who was kind of famous for stomping rookie pirates only to invite them to join his crew as his "sons", but who also had a weird thing about not having women in his crew (his nurses aside), because he believed "women do not belong on a battlefield". For one, that actually kind of supports the "Crocodile is openly trans" theory because, again, how the fuck would Croc have been pre-t AND stealth as a Wardlord getting his shit kicked in by Whitebeard? Like it's not impossible, as we have discussed many times before (and that is not the point of this post!!), but once again it would be easier to just assume Crocodile was still living as a woman at this point in time. And indeed, that could answer the question of "why would Whitebeard not invite Crocodile into his crew to be one of his children like Ace and everyone else?". If Croc was still living and presenting as a woman at this point, Whitebeard would not have even wanted him in his crew. (Sidenote but since Whitebeard seemed to have no issues with Jinbei hanging around the Moby Dick despite being a Warlord I don't think Crocodile's Shichibukai status should've had any impact on WB's ability to invite him to his crew. To be fair though, Jinbei did join the Shichibukai much later so it is possible WB could've just changed his position on the subject over the years) And that leads to this question; if Whitebeard has that kind of views on women, then would he ever go as far as to severely injure and scar (someone he viewed as) a woman right on their face? With an attack that could have very easily chopped Crocodile's entire head in half like a god damn burger bun if he weren't careful? Do you think Whitebeard would have chopped Crocodile's left hand off and left him permanently disabled if he viewed him as a woman who shouldn't be a fighter to begin with? Yes, to be fair, we do not know the circumstances under which Crocodile challenged Whitebeard into a fight and what kind of a pirate Crocodile had been up until that point, what his reputation had been and if he had done anything in particular to invite Whitebeard's wrath (much like Kid and Barto with Shanks). Like for all we know he could've done something truly heinous and fucked up enough that Whitebeard thought teaching him a lesson was justified.

Just, looking at all of these notes together, I can't help but to feel that it's actually very plausible Dragon could be the one responsible for one of Crocodile's injuries if not both (if Crocodad Real).

Jolly Foul Play except it's a modern au and Daisy and Hazel are grown up and divorced but back at Deepdean together for a school reunion when Elizabeth is murdered but of course these 2 cannot let it slide

"Just what do you think you're doing, Wong?"

"Investigating the murder!"

"I'm doing that! Go- go find your own murder!"

"You can't own murders, Daisy."

"I would never do anything as juvenile as proclaim I own a murder, but yes, seeing as you brought it up, I do own this one! I was here first!"

"Being able to see the body over everybody's heads because you're so tall does not count as being 'there first'."

(holding up a microphone) what is the lore

yayyyyy

Okay so the Divorcer lore is pretty odd since the character of "The Divorcer" didn't even exist when i started this blog, i'm just making up shit as i go along. So basically, The Divorcer is a stock image suit man divorce lawyer from hell. He has divorced many people from himself, such as many users, Sans Undertale, @your-fav-is-married and The Earth. He lives in a cubicle where he endlessly processes divorces. Even if he was out of there, he would not be happy. The Divorcer is Hate Incarnate. He hates everyone equally.

Voiceclaim: Huggbees

Faceclaim: He's a shapeshifter, but is always a generic man in a suit.

Gender: He doesn't dwell on unimportant mortal social concepts. Simply goes by He/Him

day 8: blue

the uniform itches. some days it's easier to put on than others, but of course it always fucking itches, even after caitlyn had let her get away with numerous dress code violations; typical topside clothes, starched stiff, built for show before basic movement.

vi still doesn't like it, probably never will. part of her feels like a coyote at a dog show, out of place with a leash too tight around her neck, and part of her just wants to vomit every time she looks in the mirror. if vander could see her- if her younger self could see her- if powder could see her-

jinx. it's jinx now. right.

that makes her want to vomit too, every time it comes out of her fucking mouth.

it's going to be worth it, though. vi will call jinx whatever she wants, she'll lie through her teeth when caitlyn kisses her and she'll put up with all the mockery she deserves if that's what it takes. all she needs is patience, which, yeah, vi has never had a lot of, but for her sister, she can manage. all she has to do is follow in caitlyn's footsteps to find her sister again, convince caitlyn not to hurt her and then she can burn the fucking dress blues and- and-

(she hasn't really thought about what comes after the happy ending.)

He's still daft, but now that Astarion is actually making good on his promise of an undead horde and blotting out the sun - instead of just talking about it, and then nothing but parties and vague talk of ruling from the shadows - I find myself far more willing to entertain the idea of a villainous relationship.

I'm not up for a squid empire or being a lapdog for a politician, but this is sufficiently ambitious and flashy villainy. 'Sun King' is a bit over the top, but he kept his promise of undead hordes he can do what he wants.

Sure, you can have the Netherstones. Pass me that glass of blood I said I was gonna drink sitting on your lap: this is going to be fun.

[technicalknockout]

I found billford so funny in gravity falls the show and tbh in the context of tbob it's even funnier. they're so divorced

[sachermorte]

I am 21, it would not be that crass of an age difference. Also it would be so funny to casually drop at the family dinner that I am not engaged, not married, but in fact already divorced. Plus you need to keep up a streak

"Mom, dad, this is my ex-husband Roland."

"Oh, nice to meet-- wait when did you get married??? When did you get divorced?????"
