#the woman is GOOD at her job

[haematicspectre]

i've been thinking a lot about "take responsibility" as one of the main adage in mouthwashing and how that phrase usually is in the context of sex/pregnancies out of wedlock and honour (of the woman)

rambling below with spoilers and textual sensitive content

neither in the real world or in this story do the men "taking responsibility" tend to give a fuck about the repercussions of their actions on others (in particular the women they have, socially, 'soiled'). (this is a general statement, obviously sex/pregnancies out of wedlock are not an evil act in and of itself.)

jimmy is so fixated on the "responsibility" of "titles" and people "deserving" those titles without having any actual idea of the practicalities, skills, social navigation required to actually successfully fulfill these roles.

in part i think "take responsibility" is harking to his snarky high expectations and projections onto jimmy as a captain - the way he is so quick to turn on jimmy in friendly conversation because of his fragile ego.

i think its in part his ego going "i deserve to be captain i'll show them" and trying to "fix" things while - again - not actually understanding the requirements and responsibilities of the role he is desperately clinging to. like he spends all of his time talking down on others (in particular anya) regarding their roles so he's well aware he's showing his ass. (he also FREQUENTLY ties curly into his spiraling, 'we'll fix this')

there's just a total cognitive dissonance between "responsibility" (title, role) and "accountability" - which is the actual thing he needs to take lol

and my mind keeps turning back to how the 'final straw' was anya disclosing her pregnancy and the main phrase hammered down being "take responsibility" with no meaningful recourse

i also think about how he shoots himself in the end before the cryofreeze process even begins for curly......... which just goes to show that 'saving' curly was not a 'good' or 'heroic' act with any sentiment whatsoever to curly's own will... he didn't even make sure it WORKED first. for all he knew it COULD have been damaged in the crash and he would have just left curly sit there until he dies (probably slowly) of whatever physical complications

Ehm... Sorry to bother, but... Could we, maybe, possibly... see Vasco's wife and her lover pictured by your hand? Sorry again, thank you for listening. Take care.

Unfortunately I don't have her lover figured out yet, but I think Ludovica looks something like this:

i think honestly the craziest thing abt transmisogyny isn't like the active moments of hate but the complete unwillingness and uninterest in anything we have to say — this assumption that if a trans woman is talking it's not worth your time and you can just scroll past. and then you'll have fuck terfs in your bio like nothing happened! wild

the sandra lynn / fig conversation is driving me Insane. fig saying that sometimes she doesn’t wanna exist as herself at all…not wanting to ask her friends how they see her (because she’s afraid to hear their response) saying that to someone she is a monster and she Cannot stop thinking about it. sandra lynn starting the conversation saying she needs to step up but is also simultaneously taken aback about what fig expresses and doesn’t know how to responds to it and suggests getting ice cream. sandra lynn saying “convincing people they deserve good things is really tough” talking about herself but how it also reflects fig. insane!!

Tumblr keeps popping up to sell me ad free dashboard. But what it doesn't understand is that me and the ads have a sort of symbiosis at this point.

in my mind, Sebastian is a huge planner & he always insisted on bringing too much along whenever he and Anne went on adventures. It’s always better to be prepared than to realize you forgot something at home😤

the next drawing will be Anne so you can compare the two😂💓

heathcliff: i killed cathy...... im a horrible person in every timeline. my revenge killed her. my remorse literally broke through timelines.

catherine who got back at heathcliff by stealing a house to remodel into the Magic Cocaine Labyrinth after draining the financial assets of england's least tragically ill victorian man, making carmen contact her copyright lawyers by sealing her ambiguously dead body into a glass tank while her brain powers a building, and potentially hiring the Mueseumafia of Modern Art because if she pays them with cash she doesnt have to report her Green-Energy-Human-Tank Powered Hydrogen Bomb Basement Factory's earnings to the IRS or whatever the city uses: 'tis what you get for trying to boyfail without your girlboss, methinks 😇😇😇😇😇

Kendrick recalls how a blunt conversation with a famous friend snapped her into action. "I spoke to Brittany Snow on the phone, and she, in a very role-reversal way of our relationship, gave me the most casual pep talk, which was literally in a very flat voice: 'You'll get on set, and you'll know what to do,'" Kendrick recalls of her Pitch Perfect costar. "And it was just like, 'Yeah, okay.' That's usually how I find myself talking to her, and I think I was expecting this flowery, long pep talk, and she so cut to the chase that I was like, 'Okay, damn girl. I'll just figure it out, I guess.'"
