Your take on darklinas is 100% correct. Saw so many darklinas in team black stans and they were shitting on Aegon and Aemond. How can someone like Darkling if they like Rhaenyra as if Darkling wasn't far worse for girls than Aegon. Yes they type whole big paragraph about Daemon did nothing wrong and he never groomed anyone. I am not fan of alysmond but I assure you I don't find them more problematic than Daemyra, Rhaenicent. They said Aemond killed Alys's entire family but I don't think she ever gave fuck about her family.

Iol😂 Ik that btw n firstly let me tell u that in book Alys didn't give a single shit about whatever family that was.That wasn't even her family !

That was house strong who was keeping her only as wet nurse servant just bcz she was a strong bastard herself if talk about book only. She wasn't any princess there😭. Wtf TB Stans think while making these bullshits which wasn't in the book. Atleast should make something sensible.

I already told that dere relationship was not any romantic which some Alysmond Stans want it to be. It was just kind of toxic profit n gain relationship bet them. But she was only with Aemond for her profit n survival. She clearly gets pregnant with his child. Most logical reason is only that she would also hold the power in throne. That's it.

Alys was a witch who killed a man just in secs...do u really think that she would make herself as a crying hostage to a 18 yrs old boy😭. She would have killed Aemond easily if she wanted to right there while slaughtering whole house strong but she didn't bcz she would easily get profit from removing every other man from her strong family. Whole wealth indirectly goes to her or larys.

TB be saying anything rubbish as we don't even get much about her in book. She was neither team Black or team green. Now what tv series would do about her ? I can't say that......but Ofcourse they would say thousand non sense reasons on daemon which even GRRM would die on hearing.😹

N about Darklina stans🤦🏻‍♀️...they r really stupid. Their whole ship is extremely problematic. Even alysmond or every ship from hotd itself is less problematic than darklina honestly 😂.

Darkling literally abused n harmed Alina physically and he gave small girls to get r*ped by King for his own need🤢

n the audacity those idiots have to say anything about any ship way less problematic than them. It's funny when Darkling Stans would say they like Rhaenyra. Even Aegon was less harmful than him like bitch.. be fr😂which drug u guys r taking

I don't hate or not any anti Darklina. I don't even like that book. It's so fucking boring😭.Ship is very much ok. Like you can ship the fuck u want. I used to ship it too but if u r liking a problematic ship urself then u should better keep ur mouth shut about any other ships. They are embarrassing sometimes

(Believe me only thing I shipped it because they have that light and dark dynamic, if it wasn't about that. I would have never shipped them either. Plus Ben Barnes was the reason I went to watch that show 😑)

As I said they can't even like their favourites as they are🤷🏻‍♀️ so don't take them seriously. I am waiting for that clown show when they are going to say Daeron is a r@pist while writing big stupid paragraphs on ' how Maegor was correct'. U can see that very soon.

Ain’t no way ppl ship Iphigenia with Artemis be so for real like….

Like yeah sure if Artemis had a crush on a girl she’d demand her father slaughter her like an animal and traumatize her mother for sure. Even with Apollo (a serial r*pist like his daddy) if he liked Iphigenia would have the courtesy to just grab her then run for the hills. Like I’m fine with headcanons and watering down the more nasty parts of Greek mythology for funsies but this is ridiculous.

I am so passionate about Orin, like no it isn't fair she doesn't ever get the chance and Durge doesn't help her or care after the fact. Ironically what Orin did saved everyone and got Durge freedom if they chose it. The fact that all you can really do is insult her or call her stupid besides the "you've been abused and used option" which is a high roll to even convince her is so sad. I don't like mocking her knowing the whole context and why she's doing what she is. It's not a choice really. It feels wrong to me. She's a victim of so much abuse and grooming from all these awful men. I mean Saravok is a creepy ass misogynist who r worded Orin's sister/mom and people mock her about that in way that's really messed up.

The only person who even seems to show a bit of empathy or at least understanding of her is Minthara when she is a big victim of her. Orin punishes people because she's punished by Bhaal, I saw people post the dev notes the tragic context they should have made clear in the game. That she would have even tried to resist Bhaal before and when she did she got killed for it. In a fucked up way Minthara is the closest thing to showing her "love" or at least care, like I know it's not love but just someone like not being horrible to her or looking down on her for existing. She even says they had similar situations and upbringings so you save her that kind of fate. She said she saw herself reflected in Orin broken too. Sad about all the content they didn't give us because I know they said they wanted more Orin/Minthara stuff but I think ti deserved more than a few lines.

Orin's father is literally a child r*pist and apparently has a line where he says he likes her the same way he does her mom? LIKE WTF? and wants her to make babies with durge? I don't know if it is confirmed if he assaulted her or not but he obviously would if he wanted. He shows a lot of hate like he didn't effect what happened if he's mad about what Orin did to Durge. Felt so horrible killing her in the scene after you tell her the truth because she's totally a slave in body then too. It broke my heart. I don't like that they didn't make her background more of the forefront and just let people see her as this crazy one unless you think about her or find tidbits. She felt like a throwaway to me when she's so tragic and she's just mocked and hated by everyone. I hate abused children/women being painted as "crazy psychos" to make fun of. She's severely mentally ill. Ketheric is not a more sympathetic character, he chose to do all he did. Gortash is given more dignity and choice than her. I think Ketheric and his performance are overrated honestly, he just got more screentime and got to be more fleshed out so they say he's better. That's why people go "orin is just an unhinged boring murderhobo" SHE AND AZULA DESERVED SO MUCH BETTER

Yeah it's pretty frustrating - a lot is implied with her but man you really have to look for it, which a lot of people don't bother to do. Orin in my opinion is the most interesting of the three.

I know the general opinion seems to sway to Ketheric, and I really like him, but I think it's pretty ah... shallow? For lack of a better word. Maybe surface level? Like it's very straight forward in my opinion, which doesn't mean it's any less than Orin or Gortash but I think it's easier to absorb if that makes sense?

Whereas with both Orin and Gortash you really need to sniff around, Orin especially. Minthara is the companion she is attached to, as Gortash is Karlach (While it seems like the only connection Ketheric has to the camp is Shadowheart, but that's through Dame Aylin and Isobel strangely enough. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. But he has an entire act to himself so...). But with Minthara, she is so so so easy to miss and thoughtlessly slaughter (ironically enough) so that's a whole bunch of Orin content absolutely nuked off of the bat.

So I suppose the bizarre pacing is to blame for Orin and Gortash kinda farting around, and Orin not being treated fairly compared to how the fandom treats durge. Again, quite "fitting" I guess. Orin doesn't get that privilege of pity and a chance at life whereas Durge gets two chances. The first being actually having a life outside of the temple, and the second being the tadpole. Why? Idk.

I don't even want a redemption for Orin. I think the choice should be there, and I think the choice should be made by her. Only her.

My ideal world would be Orin can escape, stay (what we currently have), or escape in her own little Orin way. To elaborate on that... I think Orin should be able to continue slaughtering people, but I think she should do it for herself. Not for Bhaal, not for the temple. But because SHE wants to. I do however think the ""novelty"" of that for her would vanish pretty quickly once there's no unholy purpose to it, but that's just part of the growth I guess. So she rejects Bhaal, and skitters away into the shadows. She isn't going to have a character arc in like a week and dye her hair white - despite Shadowheart and Orin's similarities - I unfortunately think it'll take a lot lot lot longer and might never happen.

Still, the main point is that she has a choice, something she has been devoid of her entire life. What she chooses to do with that is up to her and that's the beauty of it.

I could go on and on and on about it and how she should actually be given lots of choices but that would just be me rambling even more than I already am LMFAO

Anyway, Orin I love you pookie boobookeys, remember that there's more to life than pleasing someone who never seems to want to please you.

The city elf, Kallian Tabris. She slaughtered a white man r-pist who used his position to take advantage of the abused minority. His and his friends' death were slow and painful. "You killed them, didn't you? You Killed them all." "Not just them. All the humans who hurt you." "Good. Good."

Learn what Zionism.

All it is, is the right to self determination for Jews… so why do you think everyone is allowed self determination but Jews?

Do you even know what "self-determination" means?

No one is "allowed" to self-determination, it's something you give yourself. Now, there are Jewish people who don't need an ethno-state to feel self-determined: you can feel self-determined without needing Israel to exist, like according to the second part of the definition. And no, if Zionism is self-determination for Israel's government, then it is not for all Jews: first, because there are Jews who oppose Israel (not only ultra-Orthodox Jews in Israel, who are treated as "a sect" by the Israeli gov and all their propagandist buddies like i24, but also far-left Jews, literally Jewish people from around the world who, just here on this very website, are testifying being against Israel). Second, because there are literally Palestinian Jews that Israel ALSO kills. Third, because by being racist to begin with - especially now, with a far-right party in power, Israel also mistreats Jews of color. All of these are facts, there are testimonies, historical proofs. https://scholarworks.lib.csusb.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1052&context=history-in-the-making https://www.international.ucla.edu/israel/currents/article/224386 Now, I'm not against self-determination for the Jewish people. But today, in the context of Israel, treating zionism as only "self-determination for Jewish people" is literally negating and erasing Israel's history, actions and clear intents when they claim building a zionist society and a zionist state. THEY are the ones who took flag of Zion as their flag and are throwing it around everywhere, on captured civillians, forcing them to brandish it while threatened and humiliated. There is nothing wrong with self-determination. There is something wrong tho, when this "self-determination" comes at the expanse of millions of people being oppressed, locked-up in opened-air cages (because BOTH the Gaza strip and the West Bank find themselves behind walls!), suffering apartheid and being murdered just for being there. There is something wrong, when this "self-determination" comes about with racist language. When this "self-determination" comes with the idea that "Palestinians are r*pists", "Palestinians are terrorists", "Muslims hate everything", "Palestinians are human animals", "the children of Palestine brought it upon themselves", "we are the children of the light, they are the children of darkness", "Palestinians are pests", "Palestinians are rats", "Palestinians are the invaders and deserve to be erased", "there is no Palestine", etc. When "self-determination" comes at the mouth of people who will present you the map of "the Great Israel" with literal dozens of countries being conquered in the name of "Zionism", and how many people slaughtered and displaced in this grand plan, huh? ALL words that HAVE been spoken ever since October 7. Do you want to imagine what has been said since 1948 until October 7? What's "self-determination" when it comes from the mouths of Israeli who are literally dancing around a singer being like "Gaza is in ruins hahahah!". What's "self-determination" when it serves people posting dumbass tiktoks mocking MOTHERS holding their dead children in their arms? What's "self-determination" when premature babies are taken out of their incubators to DIE because "oh grand ol' HOLY Israel is defending the Jewish right to self-determination"? "Self-determination" does not justify, nor does it erase or excuse the war crimes and the crimes against humanity. And that's without MENTIONING the blatant racism spewed by Israeli authorities. Again, is that "self-determination" or just racism, really?

I literally said it, yes, in facts, anon is right, Zionism is the right to self-determination for Jewish people. (If you want to be overly simplistic, ignore stuff that other people have already talked about on this very website, about how Zionism is actually a Christian belief, that served to justify getting rid of the Jews at some point because it suited Europe's own racist views back then (weird, just like after WW2 but oh well >> [x] it's weird really, how the idea of Zionism is always related to "the nice displacement of Jewish people" it really almost sounds like a big fat manipulation from Western governments, but who am I to tell?)). But as long as "self-determination" will come covered in some innocent people's blood, I will not support it. As long as Noah Schnapp comes with his "zionism is sexy" sticker right after posting things like "you're either on Israel side, or on terrorists' side" thus implying that ALL Palestinians are terrorists, I will not support him and you CANNOT just say that "oh but sweet old Noah, he just wants to feel 'self-determined!' :(((((" As long as Noah Schnapp will come with "zionism is sexy" stickers while also liking Amy Schumer's obviously racist posts saying "Palestinians are r*pists" I will not support him. As long as Noah Schnapp will come with "zionism is sexy" stickers while also liking videos implying that ALL Palestinians are Hamas and that standing up against Israel's crimes in Gaza is "defending Hamas", I will not support him. Just like I would oppose European settlers "right to self-determination" were they to come now to the Americas to colonize and kill the native population, I will oppose Israel's zionism as they are doing it now. I will oppose ANYONE saying this version of zionism is legitimate, or "sexy", or justifiable in any way shape or form. Maybe YOU should be angry at Israel, using the right to self-determination of the Jewish population to excuse GENOCIDE. To excuse APARTHEID. To excuse murdering children, murdering mothers and fathers, sons and daughters. When you watch the footage, of an Israeli soldier, raising his gun at a child, do you think to yourself "oh this is self-determination"? This is the truth, I'm not the one taking the Jewish people's dire need to self-determination and freedom and security, after everything they've been through, and using it to justify behaving like a genocidal maniac. I'm not the one hiding colonialism and genocide behind the Jewish people's right to "self-determination". If you think "zionism" as Theodore Herzl wrote it and believed in it when he participated in creating the state of Israel is how zionism should be, then that's a problem, really. And that's the problem that everyone has with how Israel has built and is still building itself. As long as people allow Israel to hide behind Zionism to justify what they're doing, every murder, every inch of land taken from the Palestinians, every child without parent, every parent without child, I will be anti-zionism. Period.

Why have all the girls daddy issues here? Why am I the only one who wants to slaughter a fat r*pist guy like a pig and also breaks hearts because i‘m emotionally unaviable? Where are the girls like me?

[burn-the-retcon]

Couple relevant posts:

as a black hs fan,,, gamzee was always kind of coded that way. his hair and his use of aave being the biggest indicators. and then you have him being a drug addict and ALSO him turning super violent, aggressive, and murder-y when taken off those drugs, which, if gamzee is read as black… repeat some pretty nasty stereotypes about black people.

so you have people clinging to the idea that gamzee was being mind controlled and thus could change and was going to get a redemption arc or even if he wasn’t going to get a redemption arc in CANON, there was at least still the possibility of one in FANON. and then… hs2 spits on that, openly mocking both the concept and the people who wanted it, ALL THE WHILE making gamzee a s*xual predator, which ALSO repeats some pretty nasty stuff about black people, especially when

america has a pretty long and storied history of using society’s justified hatred of r*pists and p*dophiles alongside its desire to control (specifically white) women and turning that against black men as a justification for lynching them either through the court system or outside of it.

https://ardenttheories.tumblr.com/post/620919556684283904/judicatorypedant-replied-to-your-post-hold-on-i

In Homestuck, there were plenty of things that made Gamzee feel like a sympathetic character, despite being a villain and doing some terrible things to some fan favorites. And there was tragedy and weight to his fall because when we first saw him, he was just this dopey clown who loved the friends he was doomed to slaughter. (I know that that phrasing makes what he did seem passive, and less his responsibility. But with the weird paradox space bullshit, in some ways it was. They’re limited by what they would willingly do, but they are also often forced to be their worst selves for existence itself, and Gamzee himself has proven continuously to be highly susceptible to mind control, and exposed to a lot of dark influences. So I do think there’s some argument there.)

In the Epilogues, Gamzee is a caricature, and not even of himself. He is a caricature designed to embody all the things fans would hate most. The least favorite characters aren’t the ones with the highest kill count, they’re more likely to be those that are sexual predators. So, obviously, as a villain and one that someone on the writing team clearly hates (I will be honest, I actually don’t go on twitter much and don’t personally know who on the writing team hates Gamzee (Everyone?) I just can tell it’s obvious from the writing) Gamzee was turned into one. The closest we see of this in the original text was him making out with the head of Tavros, which was definitely gross and fucked up and disturbing, but far from what we see in the Epilogues. Hell, Tavros gets this treatment too in Pesterquest, even though a lot of the execution completely retcons details from the original Homestuck to do so.

this is probably a real fucking old post that I’m replying to (the Gamzee in homestuck epilogue candy one) but bruh how was Gamzee functional he spent YEARS out of that fridge but never bathed??????

no ur right it is an old fucking post and my views have changed quite a bit from then, though hes still a huge comfort character for me

i was mostly angry at his character being watered down. his character in the original comic was much more subtle, and actually quite scary when you string everything together. like he literally destroyed the timeline egbert and roxy were in, its insane the power he held, and if he was going to be a villain again, it was key that everyone dismiss him while he fucks shit up.

instead what i was served wasn't "morally grey character with a terrifying amount of power while everyone looks past that and sees a bumbling fool" but rather "every conceivable morally disgusting thing you can think of and an actual idiot with a personality akin to a cardboard cutout of justin bieber you would shoot nerf darts at"

in conclusion. what i was expressing was frustration at his lack of actual use other than something you could direct outrage at

anti LO anon opinions

(1) I just don't get why LO made a point to say Persephone actually hates death & violence so she can't be the blame for slaughtering a village who killed her friends + bullied her, but then has her happily murdering Minthe? At least in myth, Minthe insulting Persephone explained her fate, but in LO Persephone does it after Minthe is actually in the right and after we saw how Hades mistreated her/ruined her life. Anyone w/o the rose-tinted glasses on shouldn't be rooting for a murderous teenager.

(2) There are so many introduced then dropped plots in LO but does anyone remember when Ares literally hit Hera in the face so hard it made her BLEED and it was a cliffhanger of "oh no! how will she react? What will happen to Ares and Zeus for this?" and they just? skipped it? I understand the idea of Webtoons is each episode should be designed to make people want to come back next week, but so much is introduced that proceeds to not even matter in the end.

(3) The r*pe plot in LO becomes more of a waste the longer this story goes on. Minthe, an actually threat to HxP, should not be taken care before the guy who literally sexually assaulted the lead character, who wasn't even involved with them in myth. More so, with the introduction of Leto + deleting all of the blackmail + Persephone getting over the assault w/ no baggage, it literally was only put in for shock value and to make Hades, her canon r*pist, look better. Why even include it?!

(4) Minthe haters here are literally saying that people who relate to her should die I--- (they also shame people for sympathizing with her and those who acknowledge her complex character)

(5) People on the reddit and tumblr celebrate that persephone turned minthe into a plant in latest episode, so that meams it really happend. Im actually suprised that this plot doesnt happend amd get resolved in minllion years loke every other bigger plot.

(6) i highkey wanna know what nasty shit she would do with apollo and hyacinthus. here are my theories: 1. hyacinthus was 'secretly a girl disguised as a boy the whole time' and apollo is still a rapist, 2. apollo hasnt been born yet and is gonna fall in love with a rapist and people are gonna shit on him if he ever appears, 3. hyacinthus is gonna be his little put-upon Uke BabbuTM, and the healthiest relationship in hellenismos is gonna be butchered by rachel smythe.

(7) if smythe is so obsessed with modern interpretations of ancient things. eros's romance arrows (since eros/romantic love was considered a form of madness) are basically a dater*pe drug. apollo probably didn't agree to be shot. in the OG myth, sure he shot the arrow that made daphne hate apollo, but ... he also shot the arrow that made apollo obsessed with daphne. by her metric, apollo should also be a victim here.

(8) I like how LO fans say you can't critique the early art of LO because "Rachel hadn't found her style yet" as if she wasn't in her early 30's after art schooling AND years of working as an artist? It's not our fault it's easy to see she was not working off any character model and couldn't stay consistent in her style, and it's only caught up to her with the art team not being consistent either to where people notice a decline in quality.

F-d up yandere hcs of solomon please?

YOU SIMPS

okay this turned into random Solomon facts but it shows why you SHOULDN’T simp for him

This contains:yandere behavior, talk about r*pe, talk about death, murder, abuse

Solomon 

He is very bipolar

He will hit you then the next second he’s kissing you all over cooing about how sorry he is

He gambles with his darling’s life constantly using them as winning prizes for any bets or card games he plays despite this he always wins

If his partner is misbehaving in public he’ll break your finger so nonchalantly

Like you two could be out and you refuse him and he’ll break your hand before telling you to suck it up before continuing with the date

His anger issues are super intense to the point where he laughs when he’s super pissed

He loves headbutting..like loves. Both as a sign of defense and affection

Sometimes instead of kisses he’ll headbutt you softly before nuzzling his forehead and neck against you much like a cat would do. He usually tries to do it gently but he sometimes gets too excited and does it too hard making it sting but he doesn’t stop even if both your foreheads are bleeding

He never asks for consent if he wants you he’ll simply pull you into his lap if you’re wearing clothes he’ll rip it off no matter where you two are

If someone tries to stop him he’s stabbing them in the throat before continuing what he was doing

Any person you give attention to is getting their head bashed in with his steel boots could be a child or an adult unless that child is his of course

If you want to talk to someone else you gotta ask him first if not they are dying and you are getting stabbed in the arm as punishment

He is extremely feral sometimes banging his head on a wall just to settle down when hyped up

Much like his twin he had his own hobbies that he adores: gambling, tarot cards, taxidermy.

He often sells his taxidermy art and gets clients who bring him things to taxidermy from animals to people alive or dead he’ll do it

When he’s actually relaxed and calm he’s super smart often able to calculate large math problems and has amazing strategy

When pissed all that goes out the window he once got so angry that he broke a door cause it said push not pull...and he didn’t get it

His darling has a 95% chance of missing at least one of their eyes cause he has a skullfucking kink

All his past victims were missing both their eyes, their sockets is full of cum with cracked skulls from how hard he fucked them to death

His darling will probably be mute if they were to ever talk back cause he would cut their tongue out their mouth the first time they ever talk back to him

Solomon is very unstable he could lash out and slaughter his darling at any moment solely cause he needs someone to hurt the only thing that would probably save them is if they are stronger than him and pin him down til he calms down

Despite seeming like the type who would want a obedient darling he doesn’t.

His ideal is someone quiet verbally but tough someone who can take a physical beating someone he can fight when he needs to vent.

A darling taller or stronger than him would probably be best since they can restrain him til he is relaxed

He would still break their hands and all but they probably wouldn’t sob about it which in turn would piss him off more

Do not leave him alone anywhere he will go on a killing spree just biting people’s ears off and carving out their eyes.

He isn’t good with crowds. He can handle about an hour tops before he gets bored and looks for someone to kill, r*pe, or torture

This is another reason why you can’t leave him alone he is a r*pist so if you aren’t around when he is horny he is looking for the closest person around and will kill them when he’s done before returning to your side causally hugging you close stating that he wants to go home

Continuing Sister Outsider by Audre Lorde // Sexism: An American Disease in Blackface*

Let me tell you Audre Lorde is a fucking G.

“No reasonable Black man can possibly condone the rape and slaughter of Black women by Black men as a fitting response to capitalist oppression. And destruction of Black women by Black men clearly cuts across all class lines.”

“The results of woman-hating in the Black community are tragedies which diminish all Black people.”

There’s so much to get a into regarding this essay, but I’ll give you my main takeaways.

Audrey Lorde says that basically it’s not black women’s responsibility to carry everything and speak on behalf of everyone which I completely agree with

 She also takes to task the Black men who are so quick to decry feminism because of the fact that they claim it importunes on black liberation which is the dumbest shit she’s ever heard

She also has a conversation about something that I always have arguments with the Black men in my life about which is the fact that saying that you don’t have to look at feminism or that black women should prioritize racism over sexism is offensive and nonsensical — in her opening statements to this essay she states:

“BLACK FEMINISM is not white feminism in blackface. Black women have particular and legitimate issues which affect our lives as Black women, and addressing those issues does not make us any less Black.”

She also makes another critically important point:

“Freedom and future for Blacks does not mean absorbing the dominant white male disease of sexism.”

Sometimes I’m really appalled at the sexist rhetoric that comes out of brothers’ mouths. I really tf am. Also, I’m always appalled at how quick they are to cape for abusers, see: Joe Budden x To*y L*nez even tho DA supports a felony charge in the case; Joe supports the abuser and is on a Meg smear campaign, also see: https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/kanye-west-donda-2-listening-party-marilyn-manson-dababy-xxxtentacion-1311392/amp/

Sidebar: I don’t know why famous and popular Black men, many of which have grown up with a mother who’s been the victim of domestic and/or sexual violence took it upon themselves to platform, abusers, and r*pists — like???? Mind control? Really? anyway.. they need to liberate their fucking minds from this white supremist rhetoric that would prefer to see them kill each other and treat their women like shit / but what do I know? What does Audrey Lorde know! I’m being facetious but whatever.

Another important point Audre Lorde made in this essay is that yes, Black men aren’t all to blame for the fuckery but they need to lift their heads up and get with the side of love and logic

“As a people, we most certainly must work together. It would be shortsighted to believe that Black men alone are to blame for the above situations in a society dominated by white male privilege. But the Black male consciousness must be raised to the realization that sexism and woman-hating are critically dysfunctional to his liberation as a Black man because they arise out of the same constellation that engenders racism and homophobia. Until that consciousness is developed, Black men will view sexism and the destruction of Black women as tangential to Black liberation rather than as central to that struggle.”

Lastly, a benediction served somewhere in the beginning of the essay for the sisters, because that’s who I feel she’s speaking to as she’s letting off shots for everyone else.. everyone else is getting stray literary bullets here — but she’s talking to the sisters and reminding them to take care of themselves. Put yourself first because nothing runs without you, dudes can’t even speak on their own behalf without you. Don’t listen to the fucking psychos, Black or white, just live and do you for yourself. Necessary.

An enjoyable essay all the way around.

[big-idiot-wolf-boys]

Hello, there! I reread the saga a while back. I truly forgot how elitist the Cullens are. The idea that the more traditional vampires are “savages.” Somehow they are better bc they only drink from animals. It annoyed me so much because in turn Bella gets into the ideology. As a teen I overlooked it, but rereading it as an adult, I want to scream.

Yesss lmfao practically every time one of the cullens says something, I just roll my eyes. Having an alternate lifestyle doesn’t immediately make u superior, especially when drinking from/killing humans doesn’t have to be inherently bad when they could be out there slaughtering r*pists and P*dophiles without repercussion, but noooo

[osleyakomwonkru]

what do you think about the commonly agreed upon belief that octavia is abusive- for hitting lincoln, indra and bellamy especially

I’ve had this question asked in multiple different ways, here’s a few more:

“What are your thoughts on people applying real world rules/classifications (?) onto the characters of The 100? (Like Bellamy being a statutory r*pist, Octavia being a spousal abuser, Clarke being an abusive parent etc.)” “i’m curious- how do u feel abt octavia punching bellamy and stuff right after lincoln dies? personally i don’t rly think it’s that bad (oops) bc she was grieving and he indirectly helped lead to lincoln’s death, even if he tried to stop it at the last minute, and he could’ve defended himself if he wanted to. but i’ve seen ppl call it abusive and stuff n i rly disagree. like it’s not her best moment but the only person she felt like she fit in w had jsut died? same anon sorry- and not that long ago bellamy was there for the massacre of 300 innocent grounders which she rly disagreed w so i feel like she had multiple reasons to be mad at him. yeah violence isn’t necessarily the right choice but like. idk anywyas what r ur thoughts on it” Well, for one, it isn’t “commonly agreed upon”. It is highly disputed. But anyway.

This is something I’ve written about before, and the long and short of it is that in the world of The 100, there’s nothing that Octavia’s done that makes her deserving of being singled out. Has she been violent? Sure. To people she cares about? Sure. But so has practically every other character on the show.

They live in a violent world. Violence is part of how people react to each other. Is it good and healthy by our standards? No. No one is saying that it is. But within the context of the world, that’s how people act. Every character on this show has committed an act of violence, be that killing or injuring someone, be that conducting experiments on other people, or be it participating in a war. None of them is innocent. That’s the thesis for the entire show.

Turning back to Octavia specifically, she started out the series very naive, optimistic and wanting peace more than everything else. But then the world taught her violence. They taught her might makes right. They - Bellamy especially - taught her that violence is a legitimate way of addressing your problems. So she learned from them, but somehow only she’s the “bad guy”? It doesn’t work that way. Either we condemn them all or we acknowledge that they’re all a product of their environment and culture.

Looking at the three occasions that people have most issue with then: Beating up Bellamy (3x10) - like I’ve said in the post mentioned above, while not a healthy response, she was grieving, and Bellamy’s own response to grief was to help slaughter a sleeping army that had nothing to do with the cause of his grief. Octavia’s grief response of beating up one person and killing two more, all of whom were involved in the cause of her grief, is not as bad as his.

Hitting Indra (3x07 I think) - This is the only occasion that I can think of where a fight between them happened, but even if it isn’t, it is probably the first one. In this scene, Indra hits Octavia. Octavia wrestles her to the ground and pulls her punch. She doesn’t actually strike Indra. But this scene tells us something important, which we’d already seen before - violence between Grounders as a method to get them to “man up”, as it were, is part of the culture. Is that a healthy part of a culture? No, but again, it is a part of that culture and you can’t single out one person for behaving as a part of those norms without singling out the rest too.

Hitting Lincoln (2x12) - Coming back to what I said above, violence as a way to get people to “man up” is a part of the culture, and you can’t condemn one person in it without condemning all of them. In this scene Lincoln is also under the influence of the Red, beginning to turn Reaper again, and Octavia needs to know whether he’s more Lincoln or more Reaper. If he’s going to fight it, at which point she’ll give her all to help him, or if he’s going to give in to it again. Remember: Reapers are violent creatures who will attack anyone - she saw it earlier in the season when he tried to kill her while full Reaper - and she needs to be sure that he is someone that she can save. That he isn’t someone who is going to be dangerous to bring back to camp. Those are all important considerations that she had to have in that moment where she chose to hit him and give him an ultimatum that pained her greatly. She didn’t want to lose him. But she needed to make clear that it had to be his choice to fight the Red and that he was still able to fight it and wasn’t lost to it entirely before she risked bringing him into the presence of others. 

So, the TL;DR version: Violence is a part of the world of the show. Octavia is not unique in partaking in it, it is something that they have all done. Plenty of violence has also been committed against her by various parties that claim to care about her. So you can’t condemn her violence without condemning everyone else’s at the same time. Only calling her out is hypocritical, and as we already know, hypocrisy is the thing that bothers me the most about this show.
