Girl dad!Jean Kirstein - Halloween Party Edition
Look I know it’s not the season but I need to infect everyone with these images *right now*
Eren and Mikasa have invited everyone to their annual Halloween party.
Your 4-year-old daughter’s latest obsession is Toy Story, so she dresses up as Jesse and asks Jean to dress up as, well, her horse, Bullseye.
Jean doesn’t bat an eye at this request. He’s fully embraced it. He gets one of those stupid horse masks and everything.
Ironically, your daughter has no inkling of the horse face nickname Eren bestowed upon him back in college.
Your daughter requests that you and Sasha dress up as her other obsession, Anna and Elsa from Frozen. You and your best friend happily oblige.
When you arrive at the party, Eren busts out laughing at Jean and points out that he doesn’t need the horse mask. For once, Jean takes it in stride and calmly tells Eren to shove it.
At the party, you and Sasha sip margaritas and giggle at Jean crawling around the floor with your daughter on his back. This man has committed to the bit and he is proud!
Jean gives Eren the side eye because his two boys, dressed as Power Rangers, are rough housing a bit too close to your daughter for his comfort.
Jean and Reiner give each other a respectful nod. Reiner is dressed up as Appa and his daughter is Katara.
After a couple of hours, your daughter and Reiner’s daughter are both passed out on the couch. “How much candy did you let her have??” You demand as Jean picks her up ever so gently to keep her asleep. He gives you a sheepish look and says “I couldn’t tell her no!”
On the car ride home, Jean places a hand on your inner thigh and slowly slides up. “So, how’d you like to ride this horse when we get home?”

Truly love the aspect that Neil is jealous of Kevin (wether that be because of his talent, his safety, or his family) but it’s not the type of jealousy that makes you resent the person — it’s the type that makes you gravitate towards them with the goal of attracting it. For Neil’s entire life he had to fake it till he made it and even during his time at Palmetto State, he yearned for what Kevin had but that never made Neil hate him. Instead, it made him work harder and want to learn. It was a jealousy that makes you admire a person and not only want what they have, but be inspired to make it yourself.

If not gay why two sides of the same coin? Why attempt to die for each other in the first week? Why narrative parallels? Why metaphor for homosexuality? WHY ASK IF HE KNOWS HOW TO WALK ON HIS KNEES??? THE FIRST TIME YOU MEET HIM????

In response to your post about radfems and men, a few years ago I started going down the radfem rabbit hole, a lot of this came from being in a community of men who actually /were/ psychopaths, along with having a father and grandfather who were too. I have PPD as well, so seeing these men act this way and having radfems whispering in my ear "All men want to kill you, all men want to kill you" was DETERIORATING me like acid. I cannot describe to you the hell I was living in each day due to paranoia eating away at me. It felt like my own spirit was a chain link fence turning into rust.
Then I met my husband, and he completely changed my life. And yes I know women can save themselves, we aren't all damsels in distress, but I honestly /was/ too bad off to just pull myself out of it. Since fear of men was the biggest thing killing me from the inside out, a man coming along and showing me that I can both trust people AND at least some men, seriously subdued a massive chunk of my rage, hatred and fear. And he really goes above and beyond too! Every problem I have had he has helped me to fix, along with showing me how to do things myself. Some people may not like that it was a man who "rescued" me, but I don't owe it to anyone to be an idyllic girl power success story, I owe it to myself and to our son to not be a terrified wreck.
I mean I have always suspected that radfems and terfs were like this.
Like my going theory is that if you believe men are irredeemable monsters who can only hurt other people all the time, you clearly don't have good relationships, with anyone at all.
That kind of mistrust of your fellow human beings comes from a well of hurt and paranoia that you're not addressing properly.
I'm glad you found someone to help and love you, though. And I don't think it's anti feminist to need someone to rescue you either.
what's so wrong with being saved, no matter who or what does it?
nice metaphor with the chain link fence btw. that'll live on in my mind for a bit.
#radical feminists dont feel like people who have jobs or normal relationships they just arent#and terfs?#please#theyve never been to a pride parade#its just#you cant believe men are subhuman unless something is very wrong with how you relate to other people#this is just a fact#you cant think that women are subhuman unless youve got serious mommy issues too#terfs and incels are two sides of the same rusted coin#theyre perpetually online

Men ain't shit.
Tamlin locked Feyre up in the manor because he thought he was protecting her.
Rhysand hid an important secret from Feyre which almost killed her, him, and the baby because he thought he was protecting her. (Death pact will never not be dumb). That is reproductive abuse.
You ever wonder why people say that they're two sides of the same coin?
Here we go for Cassian, this is a long one:
Took a suicidal Nesta on a hike and didn't even look back at her for a while (or was it an hour?)
Followed her home after she left solstice (wasn't even doing anything bad) and said to her that everyone hates her
Heard how she was groomed by her mother from Elain and went "oh, she wants a prince! Not a bastard like me!"
Laughed at Nesta when she fell down the stairs in the house of winds
Sexualized her body when she was in Illyrian leather (she was going through an eating disorder and was quite skinny at the time)
HE NEVER SAID THAT HE LOVES HER IN HIS POV OR NESTA'S.
Doesn't even defend her when it comes to his precious high lord
Didn't understand why she kicked him in the balls in her father's home even though he tried to look through her skirts to see what she was hiding and put his hands on her. He literally figured out that she was assaulted (happened in wings and embers)
Azriel jerked himself off because Elain gave him headache medicine (what the fuck is wrong with him?), thinks that he'll get with Elain because his brothers has her two other sisters, and didn't he refer to her as the third sister? Not her name, the third sister.
If I were to meet a Rhysand, Cassian, or Azriel in real life, I'm shooting them. If I meet a Tamlin, I'm putting him into therapy or some psych ward.
At the end of the day, men ain't shit.
Got this comment on a post I made about rather chilling in Tamlin's manor than going to war and respectfully, I know you mean well and I get/respect that. You said I'll have Tamlin and you get a bat boy, babes I don't think we should get either of them. I hope you find a guy who will treat you like a queen but maybe not a bat boy (unless you really want that then by all means, go for it.) I like Tamlin but I don't want that man in real life, he needs some therapy.
I don't mean any rudeness or disrespect towards the person that commented and wish you a good day/evening/night🥰

Men being feminine isn't men LARPing as women or men having "woman face" that's literally just a man with a feminine style. Which isn't innately a female thing, it's just gendered marketing. God y'all can be annoying sometimes.
#wow would you look at that believing men shouldn't be feminine#and that men who are feminine are actually women#are two sides of the same coin#radfems#mp

Women’s self-image is as negative as ever despite the “body positivity” wave of choice feminism. Why?
I think one of the biggest reasons as to why women’s beauty standards and self-image are worse than even is because you can preach about unfair beauty standards all you want and tell women not to make fun of another woman’s looks but you can’t take away the social status and praise that women who are “beautiful” get from society (both men and women). You give them clout and praise them. Something both “body positivity” and “body neutrality” feminists do btw despite all the talk about acceptance.
It’s like saying you don’t support the ethics behind a product and yet still consume and buy it. In this case “beauty” being a luxury achieved via consumerism where women become the products (objects) that other women admire and obsess over. There is a demand so there is a supply PERIOD.
Women might not directly pursue beauty (“I do it for myself”) for men but nonetheless it’s definitely ingrained as a sign of status and that’s enough to cause a negative self-image in women who don’t participate. Men might have been the original perpetrators of installing unrealistic beauty standards for women but the victims (women) have also turned into perpetrators who can’t let go of the misogynistic status symbol of having value from appearances because it’s considered “culture”.
#ic.text#this goes for many spaces and#why I low key have little faith that women will every be free form this hyper fixation on looks#so you support hairy women and healthy eating but look at the own you praise#even if you’re not shit talking may women and saying positive words#it doesn’t go unnoticed how certain women are still valued#men don’t have a these self esteem issues because they are largely INDIFFERENT towards even handsome men#and this is why this whole ‘body positivity”’ from libfems to ‘body neutrality’#from radfems is just fake and two sides of the same coin#as long as you have have a constant steam of praise and clout for women#then women WILL be hella self-aware and conscious about their looks#how can’t they when ‘oh women pretty’ is constantly throw on their faces#that’s why women self monitor and all your ‘ x feature is pretty’ or ‘ have a neutral opinion on X feature because we’re human’ will never#work when you turn around and praise ( so raise the status of and regard) conventionally attractive women who perform femininity#it’s the leading cause as to why women pursue beauty - for praise and status - so of course the incentive will always be there#and to me it makes a lot of sense because if tomorrow there arose a kind of culture within society where attractive men who#really groomed themselves where praised to high heavens#whether women finally having standards for men or men casually valuing super handsome men#( without putting any ‘ugly’ men down for their looks)#a lot of men would subconsciously pick up on the new valored social status and want to peruse it#but they don’t have that culture that surround them AT all ( unlike with wome) so you don’t see men#with the bajillion complexes that women have - men have no incentive#they hardly ever get reminded that handsome men are valuable#the way women are valued by BOTH men and women for their beauty#tldr: both body positity or body neutrality are ineffective if you still give status into women who DO fit the standard#women and girls aren’t blind and will absolutely go for whatever gets them praised when if it’s harmful because the feedback/acceptance/#praise/money etc is WORTH it

thinking hard about relationships where gender really never factored into the equation at all in its conception but the roles have become something fun to play at fulfilling, or some sort of ritualistic performance done out of devotion and dedication.. "i'll be your man if you'll be my woman"... "i wish you were a girl"... the deep seated craving for a framework that inextricably links you to one another even if and especially if you would be a nontraditional fit.. GREAT GOOGLY MOOGLY 😭
#feeling some sort of way and feeling it very intensely... By jove i think im experiencing sort of homo-sexual phenomena#this is about trans relationships by the way. and also bisexual ones.. between men and women but also just between people who#may typically see themselves as existing adjacent to one another.. not polar opposites but two sides of the same coin :)#together. not as a single unit but as a pair. together..... UUUUUAAAHH#you know what actually its about everyone who feels Like that. thank you lesbians and gay people who are Like this..#you make me feel loved#averyposting

Hi! Here’s some information:
https://pitchfork.com/thepitch/chappell-roans-gloriously-unserious-pop/ | August 2, 2023
Twenty minutes into Hilton’s set, Roan is ready to leave—she would really like to find a real restroom—but not before surveying the sea of men in front of her and barking, “Where are the lesbians?”
During that time, she also came to terms with her own queerness. She had never encountered any gay girls growing up, so she thought seeking validation from boys was the only option; after going out with a few, she slowly realized it was not. “I’m never dating a man again,” she tells me bluntly. “I’m not attracted to them, I don’t like having sex with them, I don’t think they understand me, I don’t think they make good art.”
https://x.com/hiitschappell/status/1763625151630098588?s=46 | On Ashley Gavin’s podcast
I guess just in the past six months, I’ve just realised I’m gay, I’m gay, I’m gay. ‘Cause previously I dated men, and did date a woman for a couple months, I don’t know, I think I’m like, for real, gay.
https://x.com/hiitschappell/status/1763626737030832190?s=46 | December 7, 2023
And she said, “you know, at least wait until the third date to sleep with him”, and I was like, I don’t think you know how lesbians work first of all. We sleep with each other before we kiss, y’all, be easy!
https://www.billboard.com/culture/pride/chappell-roan-pride-month-love-letter-1235335682/ | June 1, 2023
“Thank God I’m gay” is a sentence I thought I’d never say, but it’s true. Thank God I love women. Thank God you taught me to accept myself, inspired me to dress loud, and and dance the way I have dreamt of since I was nine. Thank God you support me and I have the privilege to watch you from the stage radiating freedom and beaming with smiles. Thank God for drag performers. Thank God for strap-ons. Thank God for you.

WeeWorld, got bullied, got called a lesbian. They weren’t wrong, but I wasn’t ready to hear that.
It’s disappointing to see lesbian erasure in action, Wikipedia is very strict in mentioning details of people’s personal lives unless they’ve explicitly stated such information, and by searching her name or her sexuality, she is still labelled as queer. She has stated explicitly that she isn’t attracted to men, but it’s hard to find a direct source of her being a lesbian online, especially with discourse surrounding “gold star” lesbians and how society refused to acknowledge lesbians who do have a history with men. I I can see how someone would think she’s bisexual if they’ve only listened to her music and aren’t super in the fandom, but as someone who is, she just… is a lesbian. I hope this helps!
+ Some people aren’t aware, but Good Luck, Babe as a song, despite how some may interpret it, is about a comphet lesbian, not being a bisexual woman.
Wow this is so thorough!!! Thank you for this! The obsession with “gold star” lesbians is very annoying, I agree. I’m glad she’s found the right label for her!!
#asks#I’m thinking more on this and it’s so weird bc like#I literally looked at 2 pitchfork articles in my search#and none of them had the quote you mentioned#lesbian erasure isn’t something I’m very well versed in#because I’m bi and deal with bi erasure#But they are definitely going to some lengths here to cling onto only the queer label#which is a fine label for her to use#except omitting the lesbian part definitely makes it read more like I use it#which is as an umbrella term for my fluctuating bisexuality#also I’m seeing these are two sides of the same coin?#I am in a long term relationship so ppl call me a lesbian#and Chappell has dated/sung about men so ppl cling to the bi label#**long term relationship w a woman#also the gold star thing is very amusing#bc it’s either ‘you’ve never tried that gender so how can you say you don’t like them’#or it’s ‘you’ve tried that gender so clearly you enjoy that gender so now you can’t exclude them’#also your note abt good luck babe is so funny bc like#if you think that song is about a bi girl… tell me you’re not a girl who grew up liking girls without telling me 😂#it’s like an iykyk thing 😂#but thank you for this I was barely awake when I originally responded#I will spread the Chappell lesbian gospel

when I see art of pretty men I simply fold like a lawnchair and screech.
#the most normal of my actions#i love him#i love them#oh my god#you don't understand#my taste in men is two sides of the same coin.#absolute rats#and refined gentlemen#the sides of the coin is the middle ground and sometimes I just spin the coin for shits and giggles

I need to go through my following because I'm getting really exhausted of finding out I'm following terfs/baeddel sympathizers
#transandrophobia#theyre basically two sides of the same coin#i swear the hatred for trans men popping up in the queer community reads almost the same as normal ass radfem posts#except both groups hate us and terfs will actually assault us#and nobody cares
