#so im fucked

[me-ig1]

Hiiiiii I felt like ranting

I've been thinking, and I don't want to sound like I'm straight up calling obx sexist, but I've noticed some thing that slightly piss me off with how the main women (Sarah, kiara, cleo) are represented.

So first of Sarah; I don't have that many issues with how her character is shown, since the intro to her calls her "kook princess," meaning that she is obviously going to act more like a princess. She is obviously going to have a man to look out for her (like Princess's usual do), so I feel like her charicter is shown accordingly.

(I don't focus on Sarah that much, so I don't have a strong opinion)

Next kiara; I over all like kie, she's an interesting character,that has a lot of potential. But sometimes she pisses me off because she reminds me of what is called a 'pick me'. Her character is one that likes to act like and say things like "I don't need a man to protect me, I'm an independent, strong woman," yet she hides behind a man whenever danger is neer.

She also the classic 'all my friends are male, I'm one of the bros' type vibe, yet all the boys clearly think she's hot, and just want to date her. She also kisses all of them (and they kiss back, thay are part of the problem) , which kinda just makes it feel a bit like she is only there for a relationship, like it is expected of her charicter to date one of the boys, because what else would she be there for.

I just hate the fact that they try to make her seem independent whilst also having her lean on a man for her charicters existence.

I also, for some reason, feel like she should take initiative in her relationship, i don't know how to explain it, I just feel like JJ would be little spoon, I feel like if they where cuddling he would be leaning on her, but despite the lack of physical affection between the two she is leaning on him, which for some reason, doesn't feel right.

And finally, cleo; now I absolutely love cleo, she is awesome, but I feel like a lot of the issues that I have with kiara also (kind of) apply to cleo.

Cleo is represented as tough, brave, and strong. we see multiple times how she can handle herself, It is brought up about her rough upbringing, which left her to fend for herself. So, she clearly is meant to be strong and independent, yet she is still seen needing a man on a few occasions.

I do want to say I know she often is the one to help out the group and get them out of their various sticky situations.

The first time I want to bring up is when she gets kidnapped, the whole thing ending in Terences' death. In this scene , her life practically depended on pope. We get to see Pope pull off some cool stunts and shit whilst she is fearing for her life. I wana say I know she tries many times and defends herself a lot throughout these scenes, so my point doesn't fully stand here, I just felt like mentioning this.

The time that really gets to me, though, is season 4 episode 10 (when Pope takes the gun of JJ, not when Pope kills the guy). A question that constantly gets played in my mind is, "Why tf was Pope holding the gun?" naw, I know she says that she's never shot nobody,(im not saying she has/ should've) but I feel like she is braver pope, and stronger, and I feel like it kinda makes more sense for her to be protecting pope (not saying hes week, or needs protection) it's just that after everything we've seen I feel like cleo should be the one shooting, and she should be the hero. But no, it's pope, even though it feels rather out of charicter for him.

It makes sense for it to be pope the second time (when he kills the guy) because she's been shot, and it would be a strain on her to shoot. Like, i get that. But I feel like she's better than that, you know?

But yeah, I may be very wrong.

(I have only watched the show twice, and I usually need to watch it thrice to catch everything properly. /j)

I also may have made the charicters into something their not meant to be, or seen shit that just isn't there, I dunno, my brain be doing that sometimes.

As gen-AI becomes more normalized (Chappell Roan encouraging it, grifters on the rise, young artists using it), I wanna express how I will never turn to it because it fundamentally bores me to my core. There is no reason for me to want to use gen-AI because I will never want to give up my autonomy in creating art. I never want to become reliant on an inhuman object for expression, least of all if that object is created and controlled by tech companies. I draw not because I want a drawing but because I love the process of drawing. So even in a future where everyone’s accepted it, I’m never gonna sway on this.

it's extremely critical that you see the photo of the perp walk for luigi mangione as being propaganda. i've seen so many people wave it off and instead fawn over his looks. and trust me, i know it ended up being kind of pathetic and weird - but please don't brush it off as a "modelling opportunity" for him. it's a fucking terrifying message the police are sending.

i want to make a few comparisons here, in case you're not from the US or familiar with why the perp walk thing is something to pay attention to. just to set the groundwork for why this is a purposeful, unusual, and cruel act by the nyc police - for why this is not a common occurrence and for why that matters.

the prosecution alleges the show of force is due to the charge of "terrorism." for comparison, in june 2015, tsarnaev was found guilty for the boston marathon bombing, which killed 3 people and injured hundreds. his actions are considered to be an act of domestic terrorism. i have spent the last hour looking through google for pictures of similar to mangione's perp walk - and so far, i have found zero. i also just do not personally remember a moment like that, despite living in boston at the time.

they allege that luigi is a stone-cold killer who carried out a longterm plan, making him particularly dangerous. again for comparison: in nyc, recently cory martin was found guilty of the killing of brandy odom. the murder was planned and premeditated to steal insurance money. and yet no staged perp walk. why didn't her life matter enough for a "show of force"?

but mangione gets paraded by a veritable army of police officers as if he is a rabid animal. for a single citizen who allegedly killed one other single citizen, the "largest perp walk ever" occurs.

so what is the "strong message" that the mayor and the police were trying to send here? the mayor speaks as if mangione is already convicted of terrorism. there is a very thin number of people who feel threatened by the CEO's death. none of us felt like mangione needs to be under massive armed guard.

the message is that you shouldn't resist. they are trying to "make an example" of him - that if you behave badly and kill a single rich person, you'll be treated as if you killed hundreds of people. you will be treated worse than a man who was found guilty of terrorism. you will be considered guilty without trial. the message is that the rich are a protected class, and you cannot touch them without massive punishment. they are trying to prevent a revolution by showing dominance and force against you.

the message is that the police are a puppet of the wealthy and that the law is not equally applied across class disparity. it is "some are more equal than others." it is "one life is more precious than another."

the show of force wasn't for luigi. it was for us. it was a warning. they are trying to remind us who is really in control.

the older i get and the closer i am to reaching 30, the more the people around me try to deny me my age. it’s a constant ‘oh you’re just turning 29 again teehee 🤭’ or ‘dont tell your SO that, he’ll leave you for a younger model 😉’ and i just???? hate it?????????

i spent my entire teenaged years fighting for my life. i crawled through the deepest pits of my depression to cling to the promise of a life beyond that pain. i was so convinced that i was going to die young, that i would never see the grace of my age starting with a 2, let alone 3.

so im going to turn 30, and there’s not a damn thing anyone can do to stop me from loving it.
