[unnameablethings]

concept:

supervillain × henchman with the twist that the supervillain is a sort of cartoon foppish dramatic gay villain with gonzo schemes and no bodycount. and the henchman is secretly a grimdark ultrapowerful Apex Predator supervilllain who came to Stake Out the competition. got mistaken for a henchman and found this so fucking funny hes just 100% committed to the bit.

hes carrying around boxes of fucking Acme Corporation sticks of dynamite. hes dressing in the matching stylish outfit. hes managing the other henchmen to execute gonzo schemes flawlessly. genuinely the most fun hes ever had in his life

his dumbass gay boss has literally no idea the lengths he is going to behind the scenes to make sure nobody interferes with any of this shit.

(apex supervillain, in his Supervillain Disguise. homoerotically and terrifyingly flirt/threatens flamboyant supervillain. smash cut to this poor man lying face down on a couch unpacking this with the very attentive henchman)

("hes going to eat me maybe????? but GOD that was the HOTTEST fucking thing thats ever happened to me. but i might DIE?? do u think he LIKES me...."

henchman: i think he does :3)

the ruse comes out when someone who the apex supervillain didnt catch comes to ACTUALLY challenge/harm his gay boss in public and apex supervillain is like. yeah no we're not doing this. time for the power of unfathomable violence.

gay supervillain promptly has a FULL MELTDOWN. oh my god the blood. and also. "you LIED TO ME???"

apex supervillain, apologetically: "I was waiting to see if you'd ever figure it out yourself. And the longer it went the funnier it got."

gay supervillain: "I TRUSTED you!! you were my BEST HENCHMAN"

apex supervillain: aw. past tense?

[locrianking]

I just wanted to back up what you were saying about how bad li-ion battery's are for the environment! Also that the US helped a coup in Bolivia under Trump so that they could privatize a public lithium mine there, EV are not all they are cracked up to be 🙄

i feel like the toxicity of li-ion batteries in EVs gets swept under the rug so much! groundwater leaching is such a dangerous thing and i swear nobody brings it up in the EV conversation ://

also, the sheer volume of political corruption/human rights violations involved in their creation is ridiculous. like the coup in bolivia, child labor in cobalt mining, literally everything about the thacker pass lithium mine… it’s a shitshow.

the synthetic fuel that porsche is working on isn’t perfect, but i’ll take that as a solution long before EVs. i mean, shit, formula 1 already said that they’re gonna switch to e-fuel in a few years, so i’ll take that as a sign that the research is going well, aha

anyways yeah EVs suck, US imperialism and intervention is corrupt and always serves corporate interests before human rights, and e-fuel is a thousand times more promising than EVs are. also thanks for backing me up anon!

[starrletnight]

I love your Sky x Pressure! Never really thought someone would do something like that! Now I wish someone did FPE x Sky

But I just wanna ask does Sebastian make documents on the Sky kids so whenever something new happens he writes it down? Also if the player died by the Sky kids what would Sebastian say?

ehehhehee thank you for liking it!!!

since sebastian doesnt write the documents himself, this job falls onto urbanshade,, who are very enthusiastic about these new non-violent looking creatures.

speaking of non-violent, it would be impossible to die to skykids, they are canonically physically unable to destroy/harm anything,, something something lore implications :] but thats for my deep dive into sky lore heheh

but if you WERE to die to skykids, in some indirect way, such as falling into a hole while trying to chase them, sebastian would call you a dumbass and tell you to focus on your mission (subtly telling you to STOP HARRASSING HIS KIDS,, but he would never say that out loud)

[beemers-hell]

i desperately wanna apologize to you but you would call bullshit and paint me like something evil bitch when in reality, i want the cycle of abuse to end and to ease my mind. i just wanna redeem myself before ending it all.

- you already know who

to everyone else sorry about this, but I've had enough, anyway i was just gonna delete this, just like i deleted the TWO suicide notes you sent me in my ask box a lil bit ago, but a number of my friends DM'd me about what you've been posting on your blog so I can only assume this all came from Nene, also known as @/shugurrsn0w , and for anyone who doesnt know Nene is, well this callout thread will get you acclimated with her REAL quick lmfao:

You are not fucking apologetic at all if you are using s0uless' full REAL name on your blog, you stupid bitch. That kind of information can put them at risk of REAL GENUINE HARM. S0uless made the mistake of using their name as their art handle when they were younger but they have been doing a pretty extensive wipe of that username being online, I know this isn't exactly doxxing because of that but USING IT WHEN THEY'RE CLEARLY NOT WANTING IT TO BE PUBLIC INFORMATION IS SOME PRETTY SCUMMY SHIT, AND CAN BE USED FOR ACTUAL REAL HARM BEING DONE TO HIM YOU JACKASS

Don't come in my ask box hiding behind anonymous acting like you actually feel bad for the shit you did when you are STILL making posts calling me and my husband fucking freaks when you know DAMN WELL we're not. Don't you dare try and act all remorseful and pitiful and like you're some misunderstood fallen angel when you've been doing but helping making our lives a fucking nightmare. You don't get to act like you've done nothing wrong when you have CONSISENTLY VICTIM BLAMED THEM, CLAIMED THEIR TRAUMA WAS FAKE, BEEN RACIST TO ME, MOCKED MY ABUELAS RECENT DEATH, THREATENED HARM ON BOTH OF US, HARASSED AND STALKED US, AND SPREAD ALL THIS INSANE SHIT ABOUT US FOR NO GODDAMN REASON. You don't get to just act like you made some petty mistakes that you can walk off, you have been non stop harassing, stalking, and falsely accusing me and s0uless of being scum of the fucking earth when there is no goddamn evidence that we are and you KNOW there isn't, because we fucking ARENT. Unlike your freak ass, we KNOW what the fuck is right and what is wrong. But that kind of shit gets around to people and makes people start thinking we ARE those freaks that we aren't.

And you should be well aware of how fucking awful that makes a mother fucker feel, you know? Since you wanna keep whining about how "people keep being mean/demonizing you for no reason." What, you don't think people are gonna DM me asking me what the fuck you're talking about in those posts you make? Newsflash dipshit, most people wanna know both party's stories regarding drama that surrounds someone they know. Don't you try to twist this and cry about how I'm some creepy weirdo that's stalking you, you should've thought harder about following someone and then IMMEDIATELY sending them an anonymous ask about me and s0uless, cause that DEFINETLY isn't fucking fishy at all, dumbass. That's how I was alerted to you and your new bullshit. Don't try and act like I'm a freak that keeps tabs on you, I thought you'd drop off the face of the earth after that one callout thread got made on you. You wanna talk about evidence of wrongdoing? Nothing really shows your true colors more than publicly being racist, harassing minors, and consistently AND RECENTLY consuming bestiality porn of minors. Try bouncing back from saying that YOU want to make noncon porn of your favs, or being a whole ass adult saying you wanna fuck a 16 year old character that you KNOW is 16. THATS some REAL freak shit that YOU admitted to your damn self, you don't get to act like me or s0uless are the real freaks when there is REAL AND RECENT EVIDENCE of you doing that shit, you gross fuck.

Leave us the fuck alone, I do not care about your pathetic ass and s0uless sure as shit doesn't either. This has been going on for over a FUCKING YEAR NOW and i dont give a single SHIT about playing nice and being quiet about it anymore. Don't fucking come whining to me and acting like you're remorseful again when you're PULLING THIS SHIT AGAIN. Leave me the fuck alone and I'll leave you the fuck alone. Expect a restraining order dumbass, it was real easy to get your info when you've got it so readily available online! If youre gonna play stupid games, expect to win stupid prizes. Get the fuck off my and my husband's dick and focus on fixing yourself you ghoul. Do some fucking introspection so you can figure out why the fuck people don't like you. And don't come to me threatening suicide again, I don't give a single SHIT about you and I'm sure as FUCK not going to give you any sympathy when you've shown no fucking growth or genuine remorse for all of this. I've thought about killing myself a lot lately too, you're not fucking special.

[loonyoz]

Part of what I love about Wyll is how he feels like a character you have to keep pulling back the layers on. Like one of those 3d puzzles you think you’ve got figured out and then you realize you’re right back where you started. Which I guess is just the long way of saying he's a well made character. I’m gonna do a play by play of my first interactions with him to illustrate my point:

When you first meet him you’re like omfg who is this boy with the dramatic theater kid entrance lmao. Wyll, you are so dorky (affectionate).

You next see him helping tiefling kids learn to fight. Not in a harsh militaristic way, more in a gentle and even playful way (eg. When you play as Wyll you can tell them dramatic stories about how Wyll slayed a dragon.) You're like oh yeah this guy has the whole hero thing going on. Very disney prince over here.

Then you talk to him and he talks about an evil devil that must be killed with such adamance and determination. You're like oh wow he can get pretty intense. He's so determined about this, he's willing to put aside the pressing threat of ceremorphosis. This kind of unmoving moral stance, this very good and serious abt it thing, it gives off paladin vibes imo

Ok so thats two sides of him, dramatic storybook hero and strong willed paladin.

Then you get to the confrontation with Karlach, and pretty quickly realize this flaming hot cheeto (idk why I called her that ok, but im leaving it in) of a tiefling shouldn't be killed. Wyll takes some convincing and you're like Wyll you dumbass you're seeing what Im seeing right? The tadpole is showing us she's innocent, why dont you believe that?

Then its only till later you realize he had so many good reasons to hesitate:

He has been doing this job for 7 years now, to break off from the script he's used to, is a risky thing. If he cant trust his 7 years of experience he's left floundering. If he cant trust that he's been only killing evil, then he's broken his moral code too. (If I were in his shoes id for sure be having an existential crisis)

He's learned the hard way to distrust devils, what if Karlach is tricking everyone into thinking she's innocent?

Or maybe he's scared of what it will mean if he doesn't kill her, he'll be breaking his pact, and the consequences for that will most definitely be harsh. I don't think that's selfish or cruel of him to consider killing her out of fear of what will happen if he doesn't. I think Wyll would be unfair to himself for those thoughts tho. Like the whole airplane oxygen mask analogy is a good way to talk about it. Wyll would go to every passenger on the plane and make sure their masks are on, then collapse from oxygen deprivation because he never put his own on. Perhaps an extreme and unrealistic scenario, but illustrative of his admirable but harmful self sacrifice.

In summary, his hesitation and need to be convinced shows a lovely amalgamation of his character, his life experience, and his values, and how it results in a moment of conflict and indecision.

But it takes very little to convince him not to kill karlach. You tell him twice that Karlach is no threat/innocent, and he stops panicking, and pulls himself together with the kind of emotional control/repression that makes you go "uh oh babes has unresolved trauma and needs therapy"

His ability to listen to others when people tell him he's wrong shows that he has a flexibility and emotional maturity that is unlike the stereotypical paladin. Once he realizes Karlach is innocent, the rules he follows no longer matter to him.

He resigns himself to his fate because for him there is no other way for it to be. This shows that no matter how theatrical his heroics appear, it is not merely a guise. You can trust that he truly cares for people because he is willing to sacrifice himself for the sake of a stranger.

Then Mizora shows up and his response is to argue against her, to say, "you told me no innocents". Which shows once again where his priorities lie, now that injustice has been pointed out to him he will use every ounce of his will to fight it. It also shows that human weakness again too. His fallibility (I mean who can blame him devils are great manipulators) and his worried questioning of the rules that he has followed for so long.

And then when you put all the drama aside, and listen to his lighthearted dialogue you remember/realize he’s also very goofy and the kind of chill guy you’d want to invite to every friend hangout.

asfgjkl; anyway I have way too many thoughts and feelings abt this guy. If you read all this damn. But lmk what you guys think about my reflections!

Also shoutout to all of the fic writers and random fan posts ive read that have inspired some of these thoughts

[what-do-bunyips-look-like]

This crab day thing has gotten so frustrating so fast. The person who suggested it is an anti-abortion anti-feminist right wing christian transphobe. Many of the people spreading additional posts and info are ALSO anti-abortion right wing christian transphobes. Seriously. Start clicking their blogs when you see these posts. Search "abortion" and "feminism" and "trans" and "gender" and "groomer." This is really easy to confirm. But people don't give a shit because "crabs fun." okay.

And its not like people aren't aware of it at this point. Search "crab day" on tumblr and a good chunk of the results are asks saying "hey btw crab day was started by a transphobe/right wing christian." and most of those people have responded with something along the lines of "Um okay but like its a good idea though??? You guys can't even collaborate with conservatives for like a second to achieve a political goal? UGH this is why nothing ever gets done 🙄." or "Um okay but like that post had nothing to do with their political beliefs. so like its fine lol. Crab fun." Or "oh no omg im so sorry thats so gross i deleted the post but im still gonna keep reblogging all the other posts by the conservative transphobic anti abortion right wing christians whos blogs i wont check because we need to save tumblr!!!!"

Let me make this really fucking clear for those who don't get it: it doesn't matter if the post is not about their political beliefs. You and all your mutuals are reblogging them. You are making it easier for them to network and find each other. You are bringing them new followers, a bigger audience, a bigger platform and a bigger pool of people who will spread their oh so relatable non-political posts. Which will bring in more followers. And some of those new followers are going to be young dumbasses who are going to see all their posts about "groomers" and "mutilation" and the evils of porn and the horrors of abortion and how feminism actually harms women and do i need to tell you how that story ends?

You are showing that "crab fun" is way more important to you than the safety of trans tumblr users. You are giving them a bigger platform and a wider net with which to potentially harm trans people. By saying that you're not going to let their political beliefs ruin your fun, you're making it very clear that trans people are less important than your fun. And you're making it VERY fucking clear that you'd RATHER tumblr become a safe and welcoming place for anti-feminist anti-abortion right wing transphobes than give up fun crab.

You are showing that your need to throw money at a corporation is more important to you than trans tumblr users. I get where you are coming from. I do. You want tumblr to keep existing. I want tumblr to keep existing. I also want the other trans people who use this fucking platform to keep existing because frankly, they are the only reason i'm here. and if they aren't safe here and if you will throw us away just to keep tumblr shambling along a little longer then I have no fucking interest in tumblr.

"Okay but we need to save tumblr uwu!!!!" Look I'm just some dumbass and I don't know shit (and to be PERFECTLY honest, so are you), but I think this is a little more complicated than "if we raise enough money we can save the school/family farm/community centre/(insert cozy heartwarming thing that needs to be saved)!" As other smarter people have said, tumblr is operating at a yearly $30 million deficit. Thats $30 million just to break even. For one year. not become profitable. Its not a bail them out once and its all good forever situation. Tumblr is not a small message board run by volunteers who actually use donations to stay afloat. They are not a non-profit. They are not running a pledge drive. Throwing money at a corporation does not a nonprofit make. It makes you a consumer.

Your response to "tumblr making bad changes" is "give them money for making the bad changes to show that we don't like bad changes!! A reverse boycott'll show 'em!!" You sure about that??? (And some of you are calling this """""unionizing?"""" Put that word back on the shelf.) You don't know what you're doing and you're not listening to the smarter people who have tried to explain it to you. And once again, you're showing that this half baked scheme is more important to you than trans tumblr users. because crab fun.

And @everyone whos clambering over each other to "collaborate with conservatives for a good cause," we already fucking know that you love to do this shit. You are the same people who will say "yeah but theres bad people on both sides!!!" and who wont give up your Harry Potter or your Chick-Fil-A. You will throw us under the bus the SECOND it gets you something you want. Even something as stupid and small as pickle brine or a shitty videogame or fucking "crab day." And guess what. The second all your "shared goals" are accomplished and the conservatives get what they want FROM YOU??? You're going straight under that bus too.

And also, isn't it maybe a little hmmmm. SUSPICIOUS that CONSERVATIVE CHRISTIANS want to throw money at the site that we've been bitching and screaming at for how unfairly it censors any display of queer sexuality????? They don't have the same problems with tumblr that you do. You think that collaborating with THEM is gonna stop that? Gonna get the porn ban reversed? Gonna turn tumblr into a co-op? Gonna "unionize this bitch?" Hello????

If you must. MUST participate in this because crab oh so fun and tumblr is oh so in need of saving then for the LOVE of FUCK make your OWN POST and STOP PLATFORMING THESE PEOPLE. i don't want to hear "Oh but its a good idea it doesn't matter if a bad person came up with it separate art from the artist lol" if you're not MAKING AN ACTUAL EFFORT TO EXCLUDE THEM FROM THIS. BLOCK THEM. CHECK THEIR BLOGS. BLACKLIST THEIR URLS. ITS EASY.

and then maybe go give your $3 to an actual non-profit. or to an actual leftist independent organization. Or wikipedia. Or inaturalist. Or to one of the many hyperspecific message boards out there who are struggling along on donations from like 5 people. Or maybe, maybe, give your fucking $3 to an abortion fund or to a trans person's go fund me so they can buy food. Or to a womens shelter or a fucking homeless person or to any of the other people who anti-abotion anti-feminist right wing christian transphobes want to stop existing.

My partner is afraid to leave the house alone because people with these exact same political beliefs are in power. People are getting their HRT ripped away from them because people with these exact same political beliefs are in power. People are being forced to give birth because people with these exact same political beliefs are in power. Every day I'm ready to get the news that the state my partner is in is no longer safe and we have to figure out an escape plan. These people do REAL HARM in the REAL WORLD and their beliefs are, tbh, way more fucking insidious and mainstream and tolerated than those of TERFs.

But fun crabs are more important. okay.

[tired-biscuit]

NOOOO THATS so good im 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 what if the next morning when you come downstairs you’re so quiet. your best friend texted you sooooo many times asking if you’re okay, saying that kiba picked you up and dropped her off. and you don’t understand what exactly happened, but you’re back home, when your last coherent memory is downing some shots. you try to call to get more info but she’s probably alseep because it goes straight to voicemail. you’re not even in your party clothes, and akamaru certainly didn’t change you into your shirt last night, so clearly it was your step brother

and kiba’s waiting for you at the dining table with a smoothie that he knows is your favourite because it’ll be easy for you to keep down. he raises an eyebrow, trying to act casual. you know, like he didn’t completely violate your trust last night. (technically — he did save your ass, right? does one good deed cancel out a bad one? he hasn’t slept since he got you home because he was wide awake, getting off again and again and again because your skin is so soft and the only reason he didn’t crawl into bed with you is because he really, truly, couldn’t trust himself not to go even further. so it’s not that bad. right?)

he nods towards the smoothie, and you take a small sip, sitting down quietly and trying to process why he’s being so nice to you when he clearly had to come to your rescue last night, even if you can’t remember anything. “sorry,” you mumble, and he frowns. “for what?” “i— i don’t know, but you had to come get me, so” “dumbass. always call if you need me. don’t be fucking stupid.”

you blink up at him. “you’ll always come when i call?”

(yes)

“don’t make me sound like a loser”

while you can tell he’s concerned, he’s also looking at you like he’s hungry. famished, even. starving

you tell him the bits and pieces you remember, and he struggles with whether to tell you what happened (well, some of it) or leave it to your best friend

and omg what if he tells you, because he already crossed a line last night, he may as well sprint over it this time by getting you as vulnerable as can be while still cognizant. it’s exactly what he wanted. your eyes go big and start to water and he takes you over to the couch so he can tuck you into his arms while you’re on his lap sniffling. when you tearfully ask him if anything truly bad happened, he lies through his teeth and tells you no, he came as soon as he got the call, you’re safe. (just not from him, maybe)

you’ve got your hands on his cheeks, so you can look him in the eye and thank him, and the worst, most awful part of him, wants to ask you if the save last night was worth a kiss

i love how fucked up this is because while he’s trying to keep you safe, he’s also putting you in harm’s way just the same — though this time for his own selfish reasons. he’s kind of weighing both options and ultimately deciding that what he did wasn’t as bad because he didn’t leave a mark, and he didn’t use you ‘completely’ and he was essentially only changing you into comfier clothes, nothing else.

i think he’d feel bad and remorseful about it, but at the same time he wouldn’t really regret it, at least truly. some sick, twisted part of him would more so regret not taking everything while he still had the chance, because now he’s back to being cautious where his touch lands and he has to pretend like he doesn’t want to fuck your brains out every waking moment. he’s basically pushed back into his big brother role that he doesn’t particularly enjoy being stuck in. it’s the worst.

and yes, the reason why he tells you what happened when he got there to pick you up is because he wants to be seen as a hero in your eyes and because he wants you to be more careful next time… HOWEVER, at the same time it’s also because he wants you to feel weak and vulnerable and heavily reliant on him. he may be dumb, sure, but he’s scarily attuned to his emotions as well, so he gets the hang of brainwashing you into believing that whenever something bad happens, you simply have to come running to him. just so that he can exploit it in the end.

like… it’s not long before you start feeling this incredibly persistent need to thank him in some way or another, if you catch my drift.

The series has its share of bad takes, but the fans really take it to a whole new level. On AO3, you'll come across some truly disturbing interpretations of characters that make you want to chuck your phone across the room—some of the stuff with D*emyra and Rh*enicent is gross...and the endless fics about A*mond and Luke. There are harmful narratives being celebrated or romanticized in fanfics. The abuse directed at dark-skinned characters is truly disturbing, as is the way abuse towards women is twisted to seem like something positive. Most of these fanfics completely miss the mark with dark-skinned characters, either vilifying them, sidelining them, or acting like they don't even exist. Like... how are there so few fics with Baela and Jace, yet you find heaps with Jace paired up with other white characters. Yeah, the series is bad, but also fans too...

I think for certain shows these two go hand in hand. When you write an empty story thats more worried about soothing the egos of a large part of its fanbase than anything else, you attract people who dont want to be challenged. and thats a problem when its a story like this one. you get people who just want to revel in things that were obviously written into the original text to be autopsied and interrogated, rather than accepted or glorified.

Im all for writing whatever you want, stuff that seeks out the worst and rolls around in it, and clearly fanfic shouldnt be held to the same expectations as multimillion dollar piece of media, but it doesnt mean certain things shouldnt be challenged. but in this space theres no room for having the conversation, no one talks, it isnt a good enviroment for proper discussion of any kind, everyone is just in their bubbles. like the amount of black and brown creators (women especially) on tiktok i've seen be absolutely bombarded with dumbass comments for daring to question the treatment of hotd's black and brown characters, either in the show or by the fandom. and then with it being a popular show the problems just exacerbated. i've not read much hotd fanfic myself im too picky with it i think. but even in what i have read/seen i know what you're referencing, especially when it comes to the black characters.

fredy dboer is always like "I dont understand why so many of my subscribers are pro israel!! i dont understand why so many of my subscribers think i'd be anti abortion! i dont understand why so many of my subscribers think i'd be anti trans people!!" and its like. my brother. at a certain point the projections people place onto you are a reflection of what you have trained them to expect. youre the guy who talks shit about leftists and identity politics. turns out most of the people who want to hear that and feed off of it are not marxists or whatever, they are conservatives. and with your critiques no matter how sincere they might be you might not actually be improving the left you might be comforting and entertaining a ton of conservatives!!

the same principle can be applied to me and the projections people make of me that i find frustrating, too. like. why do so many bland white hand wringing liberals come to me expecting them to sign off on their inaction and privileged comfort. well. because im a white academic who does fuck all and sometimes writes comforting bromides. thats my fault! i have had to notice that and let it actually sink in for me, and then take steps to alienate that portion of my audience as much as fucking possible. freddie does the alienating the people who deserve to be alienated bit, but i dont see as much of the self reflection or philosophical course correction on his part. i dont think he really contemplates that he might have been doing things all wrong. hes too outraged at the existence of mad pride disability justice twitter to question his impulse to lash out at the left, for one. he really feels like offended and harmed by the existence of people who are anti psychiatry.

some day he'll probably write a scathing take down of my perspective on neurodiversity and it will be like 35% correct, i just know it, and 65% poorly researched generalizations about what the disability justice movement even is based on a few low-note twitter posts. he can be so shrewd and he can also be so impulsive. i guess thats why i keep returning to the well, because i recognize myself in much of it. and because reading him helps me to mentally simulate what some of the critiques of my own work would be... and, i think maybe a little unlike him, i am all too comfortable contemplating that i'm completely fucking wrong and a dumbass

[sonic06apologist]

I can't sleep cause no work life ruining my sleep schedule and so why not just talk about traumatic thing in my life that I can't stop thinking about rn idk maybe getting it out will help. This isn't a new story I think the long mutuals know about this. My brother has been on my mind for some reason, haven't talked to him in almost a decade but I'm thinking about our last time ever seeing each other. He is a dumbass that joined the marines. he got back from a tour in the middle east and was visiting me and my parents. this was my last year of college i believe. I still remember that night, i was just trying to play some games and he decided to join me and just say the most racist shit in front me. Like oh no shit the marines made him worse than he already was. Like he was doing this to try and get a rise of me which i fell for again and just asked him "hey, can you like not say all this racist stuff when you're around me? I don't care if you do it with your buddies but I just don't like hearing that kinda stuff man" like I asked him nicely and all he did was call me a fuckin pussy so I just said whatever and decided to walk away. But he just follows me and keeps calling me a pussy while i try to just go to my room and be left alone. Like I make it to my room and just yell at him "LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE YOU FUCKING MURDERER" Hey we all know he is on here I feel this site is the only place I can talk about that part without everyone thinking its my fault cause i hurt a marines feelings. Anyways he did snap and scream at me "ILL FUCKING KILL YOU" as he tried to then choke me to death, like damn you're just proving my point... My mom rushed in and tried to pull him off of me and he decks my mom and thats the last thing i remember before passing out (if you cant tell I lived) my dad was able to pull him off of me and literally threw him out of the house using his 3rd amendment right. My brother has been my own personal bully my entire life and has physically (and mentally) harmed me all my life but never tried to kill till like then. But i wasn't even mad about that I was furious he hit our mom. Like you fucker she spoiled you your whole life you fucking brat. I have told myself I would never speak to him again until he apologized for hitting our mom. Well he's too late for that. I just got distracted looking at fightpads for a moment cause damn those are cool controllers.... Like right now not in the past. Anyways My brother became estranged after that. Idk I'm just like thinking about rn, Moment just stuck in my head. Sometimes I wonder what if he tries to reach out to me and apologize. Who knows. Im just here to vent from a decades long trauma event.
