#so I’ll post that on here soon!

[radfemsiren]

Hi! I’m a young Black woman (19 turning 20 soon!) that is trying to liberate myself from the incredibly misogynistic, religious and oppressive beliefs that I was raised with. It’s not easy but learning more about radical feminism has really helped me and your blog has contributed a lot! I was wondering if you had any literature or media that you would especially recommend? Thank you 🫶🏾

Happy birthday! Thank you for the ask❤️ I’m so glad my blog as been helpful for you !

Here’s a free google drive of radical feminist literature Here , here’s the post going over the project and titles you’ll find!

When it comes to other forms of media , I really like this growing TikTok account about the dangers of porn and rape culture called ThatsNotLove. HannahBerelli2 on TikTok has great content too and has her own podcast!

When it comes to books for beginners, I love Invisible Women by Caroline Criado Perez, it’s about data not including women and how it directly harms us, and is great for hard science facts supporting radical feminism.

I also like The Beauty Myth by Naomi Wolfe, and We Should All Be Feminists by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is another easy introduction! Andrea Dworkin is more challenging but a great writer! Many works are excellent and often quoted on here, like Right Wing Women, Woman hating, and Pornography. @radfembooks is a great resource on here if you want to find direct discussions of the works mentioned!

I have to admit I’m not well read on feminism that specifically focuses on black women, so if anyone has any recommendations, feel free to add to the post! Also if anyone else has great beginner book recommendations as well… I love Dworkin, Greer, and Beauvoir as much as the next gal, but they can be intimidating to start out with!

Oh?! What’s this?! A new post from me?! No way!!! I’m so sorry for the gap in between post! I’ve been busy with school and it’s my exam week rn (🥲 sadly-) but I’m almost done then I’ll be free!!! I’ve been working on this piece of a while now and I really like the results!!! I wanna give a big thank you my mooties on insta for listening to my RAMBLING of these two in DMs… like I’m a YAPPER fr and I’m glad you were there to listen to me and hear me out-😭 also another thank you to them for giving motivation to draw these two more :3 (I think about the art you drew of these two DAILY-)

This is some context behind this piece so feel free to skip ✌︎('ω')✌︎!!!

So based on this one TikTok about a goat I headcanon that goat was very physically affectionate with their family and friends but after the events of their family dying they contained and shut themselves off from that kind of contact in general due to the trauma. When Narinder and them start getting closer Narinder offers the Goat comfort (since the Goat would be more stressed and aggressive in my imagination but not like abusive aggressive if that makes sense) So that’s when my drawings come into play. So when I was drawing touch starved art of Goat leaning into Narinder that was a moment/moments of venerability that they were willing to share with Narinder and that was one of the big things that drew them closer. I feel like the Goat would have a really hard time expressing their feelings and emotions about things like that ( I’m projecting a bit for that) and has anger issues (also projecting) but Narinder would always be by their side as a shoulder to cry on and someone to confine in if that makes sense- I have LOTS more ideas of these two… I just need the time-

Helki compilation

Helki is a prisoner-turned-servant. He’s a criminal canary and was implicitly one of Milsiril’s charges, and now that she’s retired he’s become her servant.

He must have gotten into Milsiril’s good graces, wether through attachment or convenience, which is a feat considering Milsiril’s a socially anxious recluse. Interesting since it’s not like he seems like the agreeable type, shifty upbeat delinquent style… We really don’t know much about him, not even what crimes he did, so there’s a lot of space for speculation on all grounds.

Edit: Shanghai QnA with Kui gave us a new juicy morsel of info!

Interesting… The original answer in japanese is: パッタドルと同じような杖を���っていました。今も同じものを支給されているのですが、すぐになくすのでもはや携帯していないようです。 That it’s written in japanese seems to say that there isn’t the same double translation issue there was last QnA, so if someone wants to look at the original phrasing and word choices it can be done. Perhaps Helki-Milsiril has a more protégé dynamic undertone than previously thought… "For various reasons", meaning circumstances that made it so the squad had to choose between saving him and saving their own skin, or like, "man this guy’s personality sucks we don’t really like him"? Likely to be a mix of several things, since ‘for various reasons’ implies the situation was either complex or they had multiple reasonings. In either case, the phrasing is very much that Milsiril couldn’t abandon him herself, and so a relationship sprung out of that. Another instance of outcasts seeking out and sticking with other outcasts in Dungeon Meshi. This could mean that it’s a bit less out of personal attachment and more out of a sense of duty on Milsiril’s side as well though.

Still edit: So then maybe him staying with Rin in that comic isn’t that much because of work ethics or that he cares for kids (or maybe he does because he feels kinship to them, alone and mistreated), but because he didn’t want to join the other canaries in that room chatting and laughing… Maybe the isolation was exacerbated because he became Milsiril’s favorite, teacher’s pet style, but I’d also be careful about assuming the others disproportionately dislike him, it could be that they just don’t really care for him. Why? Could be because of his personality, because he’s seen as shifty or unreliable or annoying, if an event, who knows who knows, but I like to think because of the Rin comic that he generally just tends to be a loner, that he’s "weird" in a neurodivergent vibe, he doesn’t conform to proper social behavior which in elven society seems especially alienating. He’s the only one with Rin to think of her sake, not only worth observing/caring for but also asks her to eat, but he does this with an offputting stare, not really emoting, and then well, the infamous alone with her staring munching covered in blood panel. He stands out. I’m a fan of the theory that it was a "Helki? Not that I dislike the guy but I’m not risking my skin for him" situation… Ok end edit back to older observations.

He seemed to be acting out of his own initiative in the Rin comic, he doesn’t look thrilled to be there in many post-canary comics but he also seems content enough. He restrains Milsiril in the Mithrun cleaning comic which is interesting to think of for their relationship.

It’s fun to notice how he’s the only one that didn’t get bored of looking after Rin, and then reports back about her condition… I’d say he was getting used to taking care of kids which would come with the job of serving Milsiril, but then, not enough for him to clean the blood off himself hah. In this way it’s interesting to think about his relationship to the idea of parenthood, he’s probably the closest thing to a father figure/male role model Kabru had growing up, without mentioning the other kids. I feel like he’d consider himself an older brother, cousin or uncle figure sooo much sooner than a father, but even then I do think it’s just his job and he’s not really invested or forming real relationships with any of them much.

It’s curious to note that he’s dressed in canary uniform presumably after having been pardoned and living with Milsiril? Which you can tell by the armor bits (the yellow strips of spider silk). In the Kabru training montage and the Rin comic specifically. It seems very implausible for him to have still been a canary while being a retired Milsiril’s servant and being with her all the time, and the cleaning with Mithrun comic (where he’s not in uniform) happens after Utaya so it could happen after Kabru was taken in but around the time of the Rin comic. So why uniform? It could be one of the best outfits he has, so it’d make sense to wear it around especially if you’re sparring or getting… Blood on you? Could just be because that's how Milsiril wants him to dress. But yeah we don't know when exactly Helki becoming Milsiril’s servant happened. We do see Mithrun’s charge Cithis be tasked with taking care of him, so a charge being given a servant-caretaker role doesn’t seem all that out of the ordinary, sometimes even prior to retiring.

Imo, if he doesn't work for Milsiril he goes back to jail/the canaries/has to try and get a job instead of just tending to her, so Helki is staying with Milsiril because she's the best option for him. He’s her milsiril's personal servant and does mostly dull tasks involved in that. He’s not particularly suited to the role but they’ve gotten used to each other to him so she took him with her, and he does prefer it to canary work so it works out decent for him. I think he’s used to reading her and managing her moods and he’s one of the rare social connection she has.

Under spoiler is stage 2 interpretation stuff, bigger speculation, in a reblog I’ll make soon I’ll go over my thoughts for stage 3 interpretation lol. Helsiril I’m coming for you
