THE LAZARUS PLOT </3

[itsallaboutthebirds86]

So I got the dynamic of Indri and Mirara COMPLETELY backwards in terms of the killing Ame plot, and now I’m honestly kind of feeling bad for Mirara. She is, relatively speaking, barely more experienced than Ame, and not only does she fail to kill her, but she is ridiculed and mocked by her sisters while Ame effortlessly charms and wins the entire coven over to her side when from Mirara’s POV the other sisters were HER allies and Ame’s enemies. And from Brennan’s info from Ame’s nat 20 insight, it’s clear that Mirara is SO lonely. She is the witch of night and darkness but not necessarily solitude. That’s Indri’s bag. And despite her thoughts on the station of the World’s Heart, she still went to Grandma Wren practically begging her to join the rest of the coven to stand against the wizards. She stuck to the meaning of the covenant to the last, and that shows she has a fierce sense of loyalty that only comes from clinging to the only people you could even begin to think of as friends (speaking from childhood experience lol). I think Mirara could end up being an unlikely ally for the trio if Ame plays her cards right.

tanya’s story in the white lotus rly gets me bc yes she’s terrible and insensitive etc but so full of pathos and so sad and had the potential to be a good person if she wasn’t so rich but instead lived an utter waste of a life that killed her brain cells before they had a fighting chance and never made any meaningful relationships with anybody because she had too much money

the tradwife movement is the same as it has always been - back in the kitchen, back to breeding - it just has better branding.

when i was younger, i hated pink. i was not like other girls. this is now something i'm embarrassed of - this was not me being a "girl's girl."

but it was expressing something many of us felt at the time: i literally wasn't what girlhood was supposed to be. this is a hard thing to explain, but you know when you're not performing girlhood correctly. it isn't as easy as "i liked x when girls liked y" - because there were other girls that liked x, too - but i never figured out exactly the correct way to like x, or to be interested in y.

now there is the divine feminine. this is the same rhetoric it has always been: women are biologically driven to like pink and ribbons and submitting to our husbands.

the problem is that the patriarchy found a better PR team. because yes, actually, i want every woman to have the choice to be a homemaker. i also want her taken seriously for her legitimate home-making labor. i want her to be recognized as also having a job, just unpaid. i want men to have this opportunity, too.

but it is no longer "i made this choice and I love it." instead it is a sixteen-paragraph rant about how selfish it is that my generation isn't having kids. instead it's long videos about how if you feed your children processed foods, you're going to kill them. instead it is "this is what womanhood is supposed to be. i feel bad for any other choices you're making."

the shame spiral is just prettier. it is large houses devoid of personality. it is the implication: if you don't have this, you aren't happy. the solid, everlasting assurance: women are actually supposed to be submitting. this is the default. this is the natural state of things. all other attempts inflict suffering.

but you can no longer say i'm not like other girls. you can no longer reject this image completely. you cannot find it revolting, even if you know that the underbelly is toxic and festering. sure, it is the same repackaged patriarchy. but the internet does not have shades of grey. you should support and reward other women! your disgust is actually internalized misogyny. not because you are seeing a vision of yourself the way they're trying to train you to be. not because you feel her ghost pass within an inch of your earlobe. not because your father will eventually ask you - why can't you be like her?

because they figured out how to make it beautiful: women will sell other women on this idea, and we will find the singular loophole in feminism. sure, she's shaming you in most of her videos. sure, she implies that a different life is obscene. but she just wants you to be happy! you'd be happier if you were listening!

and the whole time you're sitting there thinking: i'd actually just be happier if i had that kind of money.
