#she gave birth to me

[chiquilines]

Lord forgive me for not posting lesbianism but they are very special to me

I think it would really advance society if we admitted that mothers can be just as toxic and abusive if not more than dads and stopped dismissing it as “they gave birth to you”

I actually gave birth to all my American girl dolls they are my genuine daughters

[mantictiger]

i haven't seen anyone mention this yet (maybe someone did I've been a bit late to protocolposting today) but in today's case the mother mentions not remembering much at all about the birth or pregnancy, which seems weird to me. obviously I don't know much about what pregnancy entails or have done much research on it in the past (at least if/what it can do to memory) but I think most people remember what the pregnancy was like? at least my family members that have been pregnant and given birth do. considering this knowledge comes from the sketchy ass health visitor I do not trust it. I have no idea what to do with this though

I keep starting and abandoning posts that go into my drafts, as I try to stay tasteful about how fucking revolted this part makes me. Like, I'm legitimately unsure if the very relevant trauma I have is making me see things that aren't here

But first we see that Star Flower is trying to ingratiate herself to the group, just after she reappears from chapter 5. Chapter 5 is about how Clear Sky is still abusive towards his son, and she comes in after stroking his ego, stressing how alone she is, and appealing to how she'll be loyal unlike his child. (She glances over at Thunder, directly implying this.)

Now in Chapter 9, she's babysitting and trying to care for Milkweed's kits (in spite of discomfort from Milkweed), taking a wet sleeping space away from the others, and pulling more than her own weight "without complaint." Putting herself through harsh sitations to prove her worth.

All while trying to appear extra attractive to Thunder, and later Clear Sky. Basically every man in power who can "protect her"

Like, am I going fucking crazy? With how we later find out that Star Flower was "promised as a mate" to One Eye's subordinate Slash, is... is that hypersexualization? One of the extremely stigmatized symptoms of sexual abuse?

She goes to find Clear Sky alone to throw herself at his paws, and he's very quickly attracted to how she promises to perfectly obey him, have no needs of her own, and finally be the perfect servant that he desires

"I don't deserve your trust because I am dirt. I understand you because I also regret something. I'd die for you. I'll never betray you unlike those who have."

This isn't manipulation. She means this. The story is playing their romance sincerely. She's comparing "betraying" Thunder by telling her own father about an assassination ambush to Clear Sky's history of child abuse, physical assault, and murder

She believes she's on the same level as this; a monster who murdered a childhood friend in a fit of entitled rage. She was a victim of One Eye who really believes that the way her father used her means she "understands" this monster, deserves this treatment.

And Clear Sky LIKES that.

He likes that she will have COMPLETE FAITH in him. That she will follow him WITHOUT QUESTION. That she will OBEY his orders. That's fucking verbatim, that's THE TEXT!!!

WHILE HE'S STILL CRYING ABOUT "ive tried to atone every day" FOLLOWING THE LAST TWO BOOKS WHERE THE ONLY SHITTY THING HE DOESN'T DO IS MURDER INNOCENT WOMEN

Am I insane?? Am I wrong??? Am I missing something here???? Why the fuck is the fandom takeaway "haha sexy girl steals his dad." Did I read the same book

sometimes will casually mention that I was 10 yrs old and present in the hospital room for the birth of my baby brother. My mom asked me if I wanted to stay and I was like absolutely yes I have to see what happens. I remember I started crying, not bc I was scared or upset but because I was so overwhelmed and in awe. Like my mom worked so hard and I watched the whole thing and it was fascinating. And most people who hear that are so shocked and that’s clearly Not Normal, but honestly I’m really really glad I was there. It helped demystify the entire birth process and really opened my eyes to how dangerous it can be and im grateful for that

That "my mother is my enemy" line really hits different when your own mommy done fucked you up as well.

[meggydolaon]

Under-acknowledged fact about Grima is that she's supposed to be 20 or so (or however old Lucina is) years older than the Robin we play as. This means she is not only Evil Robin, but more distinctly MILF Robin. In this essay I will

GUESS WHO FINISHED THE BIRDIE'S TOYHOUSE HELL YEAH

Here's the post I made about her earlier

She's so precious to me and I love her so much.

I wrote up both her main Transformers Animated version as well as the Transformers One verse counterpart! It's just over 4200 words. Hell yeah.

"I feel you, Johanna! I feel you... I was half convinced I'd waken, Satisfied enough to dream you, Happily I was mistaken, Johanna!"

So, I saw Sweeney Todd on Broadway almost two weeks ago, and this idea hasn't left my mind since. Just the idea of Ingo as Antony singing to Johanna is really sweet, and the song itself is really pretty! Makes you temporarily forget that the musical is about murder and cannibalism, lol!

remembering some myths of unova nuzlocke tweaks that were made and how i thiiiiink kynim once said the story read differently because it was based on a run she did on an emulated version of white because the game hadnt released overseas yet? and she made her own lore and stuck with it. and thinking about how im pretty sure she made N and ghetsis biologically related instead of adopted. and like…. tbh. i know you have to tweak N’s story hard to make this work… but i wonder how much better things would read if ghetsis was just his bio dad

gay people are like "she saved my life" and it's Tidepool from Skylanders Imaginators
