there's been a very depressing uptick in those "best of reddit" compilations featuring stories about pregnant women (and girls!) who are stuck in an awful, usually abusive situations.
They have no way clean way out, since they are in incredibly vulnerable positions and have to rely on their partners/parents/etc. Even if they managed to get away, they will remain tied to their partners through their child. And that's if they survive.
This, too, is why access to birth control and safe abortions is vital to women's safety.
On November 5th, US citizens will elect a President, a new Congress, and a third of the Senate. Both sides have made their positions clear. A majority democratic government will sign reproductive rights into law. Any republican majority, especially a 'republican' president, will continue to block it.
Use your vote wisely.
#ramble#rounding out my politics post for the day#in case the post wasnt clear enough: these women have no access to abortion. they're effectively trapped.#so yeah. this is on the ballot in november#vote blue#also yes i do enjoy reddit compilations and stories on occasion#not those. obviously. theres an incredibly depressing ongoing one from a 17-year-old that just doesnt have any good possible outcomes#at the very least her partner isnt abusive and shes getting away from her parents who are. but then what.#theres also a subgenre of posts about women being terrified they might have gotten pregnant from an abusive partner#go vote#there are literal lives at stake#politics#also obviously this post is trans inclusionist. any gender identity has a right to health care. including reproductive.#just putting that out there now in case the tags attract TERFs.#us politics#us elections#kamala harris#this post probably needs content warning tags huh#abortion#abortion rights#bodily autonomy#reproductive rights#abuse mention#womens rights

Actually so tired that people mainly focus on the bdsm when they talk about La Pianiste when we literally have this dynamic right here. Like, that's insane.
What if you were a little girl in her 40's who couldn't grow up because of your mother-wife who made you sleep in her bed and forced you to repress every sexual desires and thoughts of becoming your own person just to keep you close to her ? What if you fought back and yearned for dangerous things out of her reach ? But also, what if you let her because it's all you've ever known and been taught to want ?
#these two are so entangled with each other and in the roles they play#(mother and daughter. husband and wife. prodigal or ungrateful daughter. adoring or mocking mother)#that they cannot handle it when something else is thrown into the mix#There's no space left because they fill all the roles in each other's lives.#but at the same time they never give the other exactly what she wants#The fights never last. Erika will never live up to her mother's ambitions. And her mother will never give her any form of affection which#might satiate her hunger for love. And so on.#They are deeply imperfect- Love and Despise each other but they could never bear the thought of being separated#When I read the part in the book where Erika talks to Walter for the first time and all she wants is to go back into her mother's womb...#you can't make that shi up#when people talk about toxic yuri that's what they could mean but unfortunately we live in a society#gradually learning to accept the person I'm becoming who would've been burned at the stake by my younger self <3#been having so much thoughts about this film once again. And I know that nothing written here is new but I'm a little sad no one really#talks about this relationship online since it's really the heart of the story for me#Of course everything happening with Walter is important. But none of that would be there without the mother-daughter situation#la pianiste#the piano teacher#haneke#sheep stuffs#isabelle huppert#also I'd kinda get it if it was another film and it made people too uncomfortable to talk about it. but I mean this is literally La Pianist

thinking about Monoma talking to Aizawa before the final battle. thinking about him asking Aizawa, in the bluntest terms possible, how dangerous he thinks it's going to be. (if the plan falls through, Aizawa and Monoma will be some of Shigaraki's first targets. Monoma knows this).
thinking about how Aizawa would answer honestly because he doesn't sugarcoat things, least of all things as serious as this. thinking about how he would tell Monoma that it's going to be dangerous - incredibly so - and that Monoma doesn't have to go through with it. but they both know that it's a lie; of course Monoma has to go through with it. (there isn't any other option. not really).
thinking about Monoma writing letters just in case something goes wrong. a long letter to class B. individual notes for Vlad King and his closest friends. between the training and the writing, there isn't really any time for sleep, but it doesn't matter. (he wasn't going to be able to sleep anyway).
thinking about Monoma, at 16 years old, starting a war. a war that, at the end of the day, he knows that he might not come back from.
...man :(
#yes i know they are all putting their lives at stake by fighting in the war but monoma literally STARTED IT#thats wild to me#they really asked a 16 year old to master TWO QUIRKS in less than three days so that he could start a WHOLE WAR and the mf simply Did It#you cannot tell me that he didn't have at least one moment where he realized that he was throwing up all sorts of death flags#bnha#mha#monoma neito#GOAT btw#my posts

The Robins treating Commissioner Gordon like any other adult in their lives while he’s trying to keep a professional distance because (1) child and (2) vigilante.
Jim knows that there is a necessity for Batman in Gotham and he’s not happy about it, but he accepts it. He cannot accept that there is a child out there fighting crime so he would love to not interact with it.
It’s very hard to do that when Robin shows up in his office like, “I’m tired. Can I take a nap here?”
Jim says no and points out that he can’t be there. Robin just gives him a blank look (or Jim thinks it’s blank) and he says slowly, “because you’re a vigilante and that is a crime.”
“Oh,” says Robin. “I can sleep in the holding cell then?”
#Jim: why can’t you go home if you’re sleepy?#Robin: it’s really far away#Jim: What’s your address…No. don’t answer that.#Jim: Here’s a blanket. stay in that chair. don’t touch anything#Bats is literally like just staking out a building and told Robin to go home#is there a consistent adult in any of their lives who don’t know about Batman?#like Tim’s dad but he eventually found out and died#jim gordon#batkids#batfam#Robin

the pro-bullying dumbasses on social media are obviously wrong and cruel, but i also think (or maybe hope) they like...genuinely have no idea what they're referring to. like they think 'bullying' is some shit you'd seen on a nickelodeon comedy or something, like some pg insults and a smash cut and your underwear's on your head, and not like. literal assault and murder attempts. like its such a complete disconnect from what it actually looks like when people talk about 'shoving into lockers' as if that's a cartoony action and not a deeply violent and traumatizing idea when you actually think about it for more than a second.
#both my parents have stories of running for their lives from other kids with like knives and shit to get home safely#my mom for being a larger girl and my dad for being weird and autistic#idk why yall seem to think bullying is basically a low stakes thing 'normal' people do#and not literal hate crimes being dismissed by those in power

its important to go see a low stakes concert sometimes
#as in seeing someone in concert youre not an absolute nutbag about (as i have done this year and last year)#but last night me n my dad went and saw renaissance on their farewell tour#running on like 4 hours of sleep and seething to be at work right now#or rather i would be seething if i weren't so tired#new anger management hack: just get less sleep so your senses are dulled! anyway#funniest part of the night was the multiples times when my dad who is old was like 'everyone here is so old :/'#he was literally like 'if i ever get like these people just shoot me' LMAO#the concert was good i wouldn't call it like great or fantastic but such is the beauty of a low stakes concert#youre not living and dying on every song youre not singing along to everything youre just. enjoyin the show normally which is crazy#again as someone who has seen two bands (both bands two separate times and is seeing one of those bands a THIRD TIME soon) im crazy over#that experience is fun its bonkers and you definitely gotta do it for the bands youre crazy over. you gotta#but it was nice to just. have a regular time at a show#as far as the show itself there were a few little moments where things didnt go as smooth but that may have been bc it was the first show#and save for a few moments in some songs annie haslam knocked it out of the park she can still sing as insanely good as she used to#again some parts of songs were in a lower key? but most seemed to be the same and she was still hitting those bonkers high notes#so good for her. the band was pretty good but i felt they really only like all worked together well on a few songs#if that makes sense. but overall pretty good#and my anxieties about getting there and back were unfounded bc somehow it all worked. yay#our car service trip home was in a tesla i felt like i was gonna die the entire ride home lol#i am NEVER getting in one of those stupid cars again. big ass ipad as your dashboard this is insane???? im so scared???#anywho. old musicians are forever as ive been saying lately. and they really are#oh also we were at the town hall which is a nice small theater i was worried abt bein too far away but it's laid out really well#in that you're sure to get a pretty good view of the stage#it seems like half the size roughly of the beacon for whatever thats worth#OH i did see one dude somewhere in the audience with a sparks shirt so. hashtag represent#yet another concert report. yayyyyy#(im so tired)

I read the latest Percy Jackson books and THEN I reread the Heroes of Olympus series and THEN I read the Kane Chronicles/Percy Jackson crossover short stories
and I have one conclusion
which is that Percy and Annabeth are SO CUTE TOGETHER AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
#I am FERAL holy SHIT AAAAAAAAAAA#they're just constantly thinking adorable shit about each other#in the third Kane Chronicles crossover Percy thinks about having a child with Annabeth some day HELLO????#(okay yes he thought that in Son of Neptune as well but that was a more nebulous way than in the crossover)#I think the reason I like them so much together is bc their relationship feels so genuine#books that come right out the gate with the romance lose me#but Annabeth and Percy LITERALLY went through hell together OF COURSE they have a deep bond#anyways if you want TOP TIER Percabeth and also Grover is there moments#I HIGHLY recommend the senior year adventures or whatever the new books are called#the stakes are MUCH lower and they're not really on quests per se#so they're just like. vibing together. living life.#and it's SO GOOD it's SO GOOD it KILLS ME#there's a moment in the new one where Percy kisses Annabeth and Grover like grumbles#so Percy and Annabeth get on either side of Grover and kiss his cheeks and Grover's like ''....better''#I am BACK on my Olympian Falls bullshit so get ready#speecher speaks

I've reduced my queue for now so I can try to build it back up but, like always, I promise I'm not dead. I played the WoW remix this weekend because my partner and I discovered it's actually fun and we raided the tail end of MoP and most of WoD. Compendium and stuff will resume next week. 💖 I think I needed a weekend of brainless nonsense.
#i hyperfixated and i have all the remix mounts#i'll probably miss out on the more expensive toys but tbh#i can live without them??#and i guess the heirlooms but there are so many now so eh#i have my staff/bow from MoP raiding#i've literally not touched the game in years but i'm pleasantly surprised but how much fun i've had#would i go back? nah#will i play on occasion for low stakes gameplay / rp?#probably#｡･ﾟﾟ･ — sea speaks#we all know xiv gpose has my entire soul

For the next BAT audio drama I kinda hope they put Kuukou through the horrors, I love Kuukou and all but I want to know what the absolute fuck is his problem. I really hope we get to finally find out what happened to Mama Harai. What I think happened to Mama Harai is something involving the ocean, I always found it ironic that Kuukou dislikes the ocean considering where he lives so I thought maybe that has to do with Mama Harai not being around.
all i want is for kuukou to have fun and live life but yeah, we have reached the point where it’ll be straight bizarre if we don’t get his backstory lol. kuukou enjoying nature to the point he takes solace in it but dislikes the ocean is soooo telling
and so i hope it’s mama harai too lol!!!!! whether the drama is she gave kuukou a reason to hate the ocean, or is the reason he hates smoking and alcohol, or is the reason he naturally turns to self sacrifice, or all of the above!!!!! i would like to know lol!!!!!
#vee got an ask#i saw a post that mentioned hypmic likes to make their very obvious soulmates the same age#with rosasa and dohifu being quite literally in your face lol and you look at them with their similar goals and experiences#and turn to ichiro and kuukou who are also the same age and have been called soulmates in the stage and it makes you wonder lol#we just found out mama yamada is still alive and is likely going to be a source of conflict in some capacity for ichiro down the road#with rosasa dual dealing with rei shit and dohifu dual dealing with honobono#it makes me wonder if ichikuu will be dual dealing with mommy drama lol#idk whether to assume she’s alive and left kuukou or she’s dead#and that’s mostly bc nemu is also 19 and her mother died by su*cide after protecting her kids#which is something i’ve been wondering about kuukou’s self sacrifice as a skewed version of su*cide this is a whole thought process lmao#but ichiro being shaken by sacrifice likely bc of his mom and kuukou very willing to stake his life on the line may also stem from his mom#and that tells me she’s probably not alive#which would make sense since the most pivotal people in bat’s lives are also not alive lol 😭😭😭#like big fear for me is that she couldn’t stand temple life and drowned herself in the ocean#and kuukou with his uncanny ability to be in the right place watched it happen unable to save her and almost died himself trying#i have questions lol!!!!!! it’d be nice if i finally got SOME answers!!!!!!!!!!!

not me popping back on here with a post after months of semi-inactivity (uni is being a bitch) just to reiterate how much i love writing the pahkitew island cast.
aside from sammy and amy (obviously), literally everyone else can be shipped with one another and it'd make sense to some degree, like it takes skill to create a group of people so inherently shippable (platonically and/or romantically) and ofc the writers didn't know it they just shoved a bunch of random ppl together and dusted their hands off on it but fr tho 😭
(yeah im planning out my leonave 'stranger things inspired' au, and the gears are turning, and i forgot just how much i love writing for this dumbass group)
(i swear im working on the next chapter of a guide to surviving the apocalypse too)
#no but i've way too many ideas lmaoo#i forgot ive a whole longass post in my drafts dedicated to ramblings abt this longfic and i came across it today ahaha#like amy leading a manhunt for leonard bc shes got everyone to think he killed her sister (who she didn't even like much smh)#and topher's one of the ppl involved and when shawn hears he's like “topher? yeah i can handle him dw” (possible tophawn minor pairing??)#and leonard's abt to get the equivalent of being burnt at the stake literally#when guess who shows up in a fucking mercedes of all cars#fucking dave#and he helps leonard escape narrowly by driving fast af and leonard's so confused bc like “i thought you'd be with those guys”#and get this: dave doesnt believe leonard killed sammy bc of his vehement belief that leonard doesn't know magic LMAOOO#and leonard doesnt know whether to be affronted or grudgingly thankful bc if it wasn't for dave's desire for everything to be normal#leonard would have been part of the witch trials 2.0#and idk who's watched st but the plot is somewhat inspired by it#like shawn goes missing first and dave as his best friend is panicking abt it (in this one axel is shawns cousin???)#and then when they find him at last the weird deaths start leading to leonard finding sammy dead and this whole situation#and theres a whole different world underneath them and its up to leonard dave ella and sky to team up and prevent certain destruction#and theres slowburn leonave (with pining leonard and oblivious dave)#and leonard lives with his uncle whos understanding of his passions (unlike his dad who basically gave him away for the same reason)#and leonard's life is total opppsite from dave's#and they both know it#and omgggg this au has been a brainrot for so goddamn long#but idk why i just got a slew of ideas for it today#and like dave stays over at leonards at one point and leonard gives him his bed (like a gentleman)#and the next morning shawn barges in like “wheres my best friend” bc ever since he was taken he's been v paranoid abt losing the ppl he lov#and he hugs dave and daves like “how dirty are you rn” and shawns like “nothing yet i waited so that i can hug you when i see your dumb ass#and everyones like abt dave to leonard “idk if he's the right one for you”#but then later on dave saves his life by going a little bit unhinged classic dave-style#and ends up scaring a nurse and receptionist into retiring early#total drama#td leonard#td dave

The way people do dangerous shit while driving pisses me off so bad. Sorry for complaining about it it’s just that I don’t want to fucking die. Yeah it’s awful to say but I really wish some people would get into an accident and get hurt so maybe they’d finally take it seriously
#saw a video like ‘lol look my sister just got her license and is already going 90 down the highway while using her phone. just like me :)’#she’s going to die!!!! that’s such an easy way to kill yourself and random people around you!#why do people not take it seriously. please.#I know I keep ranting about this but people are so casual about it when literal lives are at stake#⚙️.post#⚙️.txt

hi what
#uhhhh me#atla#listen i have very little stakes in this#i didn't grow up with atla so it doesn't hold nostalgic value the way it does for a lot of people#i think a lot of live action remakes are unnecessary but i do try to give them a chance#however comma. due to recent underwhelming adaptations my patience with them is wearing Thin#i am getting tired of showrunners trying to change things from the source material that had no reason to be changed#sometimes even things that are straight up important or The Point#i'm sure they'll still try to give sokka an arc w the kyoshi warriors but their reasoning for it is#questionable to say the least#like sokka's sexism is literally A Thing He Had To Overcome. it's not portrayed as a good trait#if a kid's show can handle this then the grittified remake absolutely can too#and i KNOW. i know this is just a soundbite from an interview. it might not be as bad as it sounds#but given what i've been seeing from adaptations in the past few months/years. i really doubt it#also lol love the comments on the thread saying 'can't wait for the show to say azula is actually nice now!'#(also i do not blame the actors for defending this change. they are basically obligated to never say anything bad abt the show)

no but like can you fucking IMAGINE how much shit people would get if they turned "all women should die" into pop culture slang. do you realize how bizarre that sounds when you invert the genders. that's what I was talking about on that post. you guys just read the word misandry and foam at the mouth because you need to score your online moral superiority points by stating how much you believe it's not real
#and it's sexism! misandry is just another word for sexism! which harms ALL OF US!#how dense do you have to be to understand that when I say misandry I'm not saying men are being burned on the stake and persecuted#I'm saying that making fun of men and boys as a culture and saying they should all die IS FUCKING WEIRD#how is that a controversial opinion oh my god you people suck the LIFE OUT OF ME!!!!#this is why gender is fucking stupid I'm so tired of this#I wish I lived in a world where it didn't exist but I DON'T so I'll keep begging you guys to stop being WEIRDOS#women are literally dying I'm not saying and will never say that what happens to men is worse#I'm just asking people to stop thinking that saying all men should kill themselves is fucking funny. it's not. it's fucking creepy????#and grouping all men as violent and predatory does more harm than good???? isn't that??? obvious??? and terfy???? fuck!
