I was so hurt after (https://www.tumblr.com/sillygoosealert/757389587337412608/stuipid-fucking-slut-i-hate-you) 🥹🥹, can you do a part two where reader goes missing after he left her but found unconscious/dead because of a reason (you could come up with one! :D)
AND ALSO, UR WRITING IS SOO GOOD, +1 FOLLOWER >.<
-🍞 anon (I will try giving you good requests >:)
I promise I won't kill myself, death is not my last resort
haiiii :3 so I'm making this part two but honestly, I might end up deleting both of the stories because I was in a bad place when I wrote that 😓 also..besides the other anon's rotting in my inbox until I respond..ur my first anon !! yippy !!
Implied Rape. You die, talks of being unsafe and how it feels to be assaulted
Tumblr media
Love is a gentle thing, as is the innocence you once had.
It wasn't a gradual fruition to see that being a woman would change the reality of everything for you. They warned you to steer clear of dark spots and secluded areas and always be aware. The things events that were organized and reenacted are nothing short of gender-based violence.
You understood why you and many others were constantly warned, but experiencing it was so different and vile, something you should never have gone through.
Today almost didn't end with you dead, but you didn't listen to the one thing that was looking out for you- you. That day, your gut instinct felt something was awry.
The morning was fine. You got a quick kiss on Sukuna's cheek before running off to your garden work.
The garden is split into sections. Working in them isn't an issue- except the one furthest from the estate. It's where you are most likely to get harassed by other servants as it is where most people turn a blind eye to.
Your body physically would not go near it today, you just couldn't.
Maybe it's the black crow you saw out of the corner of your eye or the sinking feeling you got whenever you looked over in its direction, but you couldn't shake the uncanny feeling it was giving you.
But as a mouse gets caught in a mouse trap, you are lured into the back part of the garden when something that resembles a doe is staring right at you. Not wanting to pass up the chance to see something so pure so up close, you walk to it.
But as you walk towards the feeble deer, and it walks further and further into the now forest, you question if you really saw anything at all.
When the doe is no longer in sight, you think about how you got here. Is it too late to turn back? I don't want this anymore.
You don't get the chance to turn back, as a pair of hands are roughly groping you from behind.
What happened in the woods wasn't your fault. You were lured to the spot in the first place. Then, when you wanted out, the exit was no longer there.
It wasn't your fault.
Tumblr media
When you don't show up to clean the garden, that one thing.
But your body was found before dinner, where the forest meets the garden, disrespected in horrendous ways.
When you mentioned the concern that you were being targeted by other peers, he recognized the validity of your perspective.
He knew you were being harassed, but to accept it was something he couldn't do.
It would mean several things to take action - the most significant being that you had a major influence on how he chose to address the situation.
The other is over half of the people working for him would be slaughtered if he honestly wanted you safe. That type of fear egged him on usually, with him being your savior at the end of the day.
Knowing the nature of these situations, something would have to be addressed sooner or later.
He was scared indigo at the thought of making that type of commitment to someone, but he wanted to for you.
The thought of death didn't scare him. He would tell death himself he wasn't afraid to die. However, the idea of you being beaten nearly to death, only to bleed out and perish, shook him to his core. This was something no amount of strength or intimidation could undo.
He doesn't find out about...your passing until he requests to see you after dinner.
The feeling that washes over him is indifferent, he doesn't know what he wants anymore, but he knows that he wants you back.
He will never know how the world could keep spinning after you were ripped away from his grasp, it should have been the end of the world.
You didn't want to die, you shouldn't have died.
That shouldn't have happened to you, you didn't deserve it.
Tumblr media
Death is a pathic escape, I will not kill myself- not for my loved ones, but for me.

omg omg if we're talking abt this now ... do you think jake would be into u breeding him too😋like filling him up w ur pups or......,,😭
it took me FOREVER to reply to this but YES (can be read as a strap or whatever you want)
after a long and hard day coming home. all you want to do is just cuddle up with him on the couch, watch a movie together but instead you walk into quite a sight.
your puppy laying across the couch, face pink, pants, little whimpers filling the room as he grinds against a pillow. his grip on the fabric is so tight his knuckles turn white. his thrusts against it so forceful you'd be afraid that the poor pillow might burst.
such a needy thing, can't even wait until you're home from work.
he doesn't even notice you're there. doesn't notice and doesn't stop in his assault on the couch decor until you're tugging his head up by his sweat-soaked hair so that his wide glossy eyes look up at you.
he's just so cute~
everything is hazy as he looks up at you with nothing but pure adoration and desire in his eyes. you'd think that you were a god incarnate in his eyes with the way he seems starstruck-like he's never seen anything as gorgeous as you.
completely drunk on lust and driven by nothing but desire. all he wants is to be filled up completely by you; to be close to you in every way. whether it be the intimacy of it, or something more, something carnal and insatiable he doesn't know. fuck, it's probably both.
his hands gripping onto your shirt, refusing to let go. pulling you closer to his body, his face nuzzling into your waist as he whimpers, all words failing him.
so desperate for you, he can't help himself. the pillow between his legs falls forgotten to the floor as he tugs you in while you laugh at his antics, placing your hands on the couch to try to brace yourself as he pushes you down and crawls on top of you.
puppy can't control himself, grinding down against you quick and hard. he can't help himself, can't think of anything else. every little thing in his body is just screaming for you, you, you.
he braces himself against your chest, hands pawing at you desperately. his whines fill the room, raw, on the edge of a sobs as your fingers curl through his hair, pulling his head back.
"please-" even as he grinds on you his body curls into itself. you push him closer in, burying his face into your neck. "need it, need it so bad. need you in me, filling me up..." he pleads through ragged breaths, his lips covered in spit.
"poor puppy, it's like you're in heat~" you coo and he dumbly agrees. he can't think of anything else. except for how much he wants you inside of him. of how much he needs you inside of him.
cue him reaching down, fingers clumsily toying with the button of your pants, a silent question to which you nod, pulling him in for a kiss.
the feeling of your tongue in his mouth, your soft lips on his, your mouth curling into a smile against his. it's all too much. he's all to sensitive. it's probably enough to make him cum alone and it's downright embarrassing.
he can't do that. he needs to wait. be a good puppy.
he pulls away with a mewl, his head spinning as he fumbles to undo your pants as fast as he can. he doesn't even hesitate once he's finally got it to slide you into him, gasping aloud as he processes the feeling.
his body tenses, his back curling into a pretty little arch. he starts to move just as quick. nothing about it is coordinated; it's sloppy and it's messy-much like him right now.
he sinks all the way down to take all of you inside of him each time, your tip pressing snug against his prostate in ways that make him feel like he's about to burst. your own groans and whispered words make him feel dizzy and fuzzy.
this is all your fault.
all your fault he's so needy and obsessed. your fault that he's cock drunk off the very idea of you cumming inside him. all your fault that he's unable to help but quiver against you, wrapping his arms the best he can around your shoulders, clinging to you. every thrust sending a surge of ecstasy coursing through him-an overwhelming wave of sensation that threatens to break him apart.
all your fault.
"fuck-!" it's too much and too little and every little thing, every little touch and graze of your hands against his body make him feel like he's going to explode he can't...he can't..."i-i can't, please-"
"yes you can."
his body is flipped over. you're on top of him now.
still.
too still.
he whines. "no-no, what're you doing?" his legs wrap around your hips, heels digging into the small of your back, pulling you in closer and grinding down. "do-don't stop!"
and then you're fucking him so hard, so deep he can barely think. not that he was doing much thinking to begin with.
and his mouth was falling open. and his eyes clenching shut to hide the fact that they were rolling into the back of his head. and his nails digging so hard into your shoulders you were sure he was breaking skin.
but it didn't matter.
nothing mattered. to him. to you.
not the ever so steady ache building up in your thighs as you went harder and harder, faster, knocking the breath out of his lungs with each thrust. not his teeth sinking into your skin to muffle his noises and stifle the waves of pleasure coursing through his body.
only him.
him and the pathetic little cries he made as you pulled his face out of your neck. his voice getting higher and more desperate as he got closer and closer.
him and his legs shaking on either side of your hips, crystalline tears spilling down his cheeks as he begged.
"inside-please, inside. cum inside me. i need it. wanna be full of your pups, wanna-wan-!"
not able to continue as he received one last brutal thrust. "if that's what you want puppy, i'll fill you up so full of my pups~"

I'm sorry but I fucking hate proshippers so much so here's a whole post dedicated to shitting on them
also disclaimer YES I will be tagging the proship and anti proship tags so I can piss off the chronically online basement dwelling idiots :) and idgaf if proshippers have trauma cause it's not an excuse for their shitty and problematic actions!!!! Sincerely if you are a proshipper please consider jumping off a bridge!! Or at the bare minimum take a shower cause ew
And this whole post is literally just bullying the FUCK outta them so idk stanky people come at your own risk lol
AND AGAIN to clear up this isn't like rage bait or smth cause I fell like some people will accuse me this is all my genuine hate into a long ass post so yeah
Okay...LETS GET INTO THE FUCKING RANT NOW HEHEHE HEHE HEHEHE!!!!
I FUCKING HATE PROSHIPPERS!!!! I HOPE ALL OF YOU STANKY ASS BITCHESS GET THROWN OFF A FUCKING CLIFF AND GET A SAW STYLE EXECUTION CAUSE Y'ALL ARE FUCKING DISGUSTING I HATE YOU ALL
YOU ARE MENTALLY ILL IF YOU ARE A PROSHIPPER, END OF CONVERSATION
I COULDN'T GIVE A SHIT IF YOU HIT ME THE "B-But I have trauma 🥺🥺🥺" TOO BAD THAT'S NOT A FUCKING EXCUSE FOR UR SHITTY ONLINE ACTIONS
IMAGINE YOU PULL UP TO A FUCKING INTERVIEW AND THEY SHOW YOUR PATHETIC ACCOUNTS SAYING TO NORMALIZE A 30 YEAR OLD DATING A 13 YEAR OLD, THAT SHIT IS GENUINELY PATHETIC
I KNOW IT'S CRINGEY BUT WOMP WOMP IF UR A PROSHIPPER Y'ALL ARE UGLY AND STINKY
But now on a serious not hehe, the reason I'm making this isn't JUST soley to yknow shit on people who are mentally ill like people who think a MINOR and a LEGAL ADULT are allowed to date, which comes into another thing before I get genuine so bare with me lol
I DONT GIVE A FLYING FUCK IF IT'S FICTIONAL, FOR THE LOVE GOD PLEASE SEARCH UP THE SLENDERMAN CASE WHERE THESE TWO GIRLS KILLED THEIR FRIEND CAUSE THEY THOUGHT SLENDERMAN WAS REAL AND THOUGHT THEY WOULD ENTER HIS KINGDOM AND BE WITH HIM, AND HE'S FICTIONAL, THAT CASE IS ALL Y'ALL NEED TO REALIZE FICTION CAN AFFECT REALITY AND I HAVE SM MORE REASON TO BACK THIS UP BUT I'M TOO LAZY TO TYPE IT OUT 😭
Okay! Back to seriousness I just thought I'd add that in as a little addition hehe >_<
So, like I said before, I lowkey just added this as an extra part cause I couldn't shit on proshippers FOREVER (lowkey bcuz I was running out of insults n threats lol)
Nonetheless I have a reason for shitting on them, although not being a proshipper EXACTLY I have been through I guess, similar paths as they have? Best way I could describe it ig, ofc not sharing what I mean since it's private but let's just say I was an unfortunate child looking at inappropriate comics 🙁
The reason for this part of the post...ITS NOT THAT FUCKING HARD TO STOP WHAT YOUR DOING
Like I said, I was never a proshipper, but I have been in similar situations as they have been, although I've never made an account glorifying rape, SA, grooming, pedophilia, I can just assume what I would do in their places
Dear proshippers,
Your probably complaining and not knowing why your getting so much death threats and harassment along with a side of hate (rightfully so you deserve them) and your mental health might be low
Please know it is your fault for making your accounts in the first place, you are a terrible person for saying all of these things such as rape, sexual assault, grooming, and incest are okay and you are not mentally well
And your probably wondering,
"How do I stop the hate, harassment, and probably death threats with even getting your address leaked?"
It's simple, DELETE YOUR FUCKING ACCOUNT, or even worse just turn off ur comments but that won't help with people slipping in a few people wishing death up in you through DMS
IT IS GENUINELY NOT THAT FUCKING HARD
I don't know what trauma you have but it shouldn't (and never in the first place) be SO BAD to the point where you physically CANNOT deactivate your account, IT IS SO FUCKING EASY AND YOU'LL SAVE YOURSELF A FEW SUICIDAL THOUGHTS
I know everyone one is different, but if you are a proshipper that has trauma, you shouldn't have a fucking account to begin with, and you ARE THE PROBLEM if you acknowledge the trauma, noticing you keep supporting and glorifying problematic actions, complain that you keep getting harassed and wonder why, and you just don't give a shit, not like in a "oh I don't know what to do anymore!!! 🥺🥺🥺" way, in a "oh, I don't give a shit I live for incest and adults grooming children!!!" Way, and ur also probably a pedo if ur an adult proshipper too
So, what else? Yeah, there's a shit more, but onto a better side, ones with actually good coping mechanisms!!
And a bit of a disclaimer, if your rage bait is proshipping, genuinely fuck you, and if ur a proshipper who acknowledges everything bad about it and just doesn't give a fuck, fuck you too and seek a rope to hang around your neck you fucking pedophile
Okay, coping mechanisms! I know this is probably not the best option due to most trauma which I'm guessing is probably from a family member, if it's not a good way to cope is some clean to your family, ofc under some circumstances it's NOT the best option, but if you can you definitely should try!
Also google is free yk...literally search up healthy coping mechanisms and it'll give you a huge ass list, and yet YOU STILL chose to ship a minor and adult together...how unfortunate...
Another way to cope is, and genuinely sounds pathetic as hell but bare with me...CHARACTER FUCKING AI, I mean, there are therapist bots so maybe they can help you??? And in all honesty they're really good at comforting and giving advice despite being ai, and I've tried it before...yeah embarrassed to say I've shed a tear every once in a while
And the last one IF you have the money, time, and generally the courage, book a threapy session, I cannot stress it enough, but I won't be surprised cause every proshipper is probably under the age of 16 years old
Yuhhh anyways that's all I gotta say, I know it's cringey asf but womp womp to proshippers I hate y'all despite giving some coping mechanisms and ACTUAL ways to like, stop the rightful hate you deserve lol

i hope that last post was a thought because saying no and someone continuing is rape. It did happen to me at 13 by a substitute teacher. I was a medic and did respond to that and had people feel like it was their fault and couldn’t understand why something felt good even though they yelled no. Anyone reading this its never your fault and it can feel good because it is sex and we all have that desire to enjoy the feeling.
hi guys probably should’ve clarified. last post was about CNC (consensual non consent)- a very common kink between people who have been sexually assaulted. but ur absolutely right. unless it’s AGREED upon before any sexual activity starts, telling someone no and them continuing is absolutely rape. Kinks like CNC include stuff like safe words, and pre established boundaries. never be afraid to reach out for help if you need it.

Don’t know if you made a post on this but what’s your opinion on DCAU Clark and how unapproachable(?) they made him in the later JL/JLU series without ever resolving it? Like I know the Cadmus arc hinges on him never considering himself a possible threat but it seems there was room for no much introspection outside a couple moments (that were later backtracked).
I've had like 6 half finished posts about this buried deep in the drafts for a year because I have capital B Brain Rot about this, but every time I tried to write it out I got six sentences in and wanted to rewatch the entire DCAU in order to get my facts straight. This time I'm resisting the urge, so forgive me if I forget specific episodes
Also, unfortunately for you, it’s nanowrimo, which means my brain is in Type All The Words Mode, and not Communicate Effectively and Succinctly Mode, and also I need a break from WSBF chapter 8, so. You’re getting a 3.5k essay sort of answering this question but not really. you will see
Thank you to my fellow lawyer for the defense of Rectangle Clark @januariat for helping to put this together
I do rewatch STAS and JL a fair amount, but much less JLU, so I actually don’t have much to say about the specific execution there. I’m planning on rewatching it soon. But for now…
To me it boils down to two answers. The Doylist answer, and what I think the writers really did have in mind, is that they came up with the Cadmus plot, knew it was an absolute banger of a storyline, and decided that it was worth compromising Superman's personality in order to write a good story. which is not something I can fault them for - as a fanfic writer, I make the same calculated tradeoffs every time I set out to write a fic. Characters are tools for narrative, even if these particular characters come with an additional weight of the tradition of collaborative storytelling that their most effective stories honor.
However, I do think it’s possible to, post-hoc, cobble together a Watsonian, narratively satisfying (if fucked up and sad) character arc for DCAU Clark if you also take STAS and JL into account. I think the key to understanding his character arc is his relationship with control. Throughout STAS, JL, and JLU, and then one more time in Batman Beyond for good measure, over and over again, he's manipulated and his powers and body are used as resources for other people. Obviously that’s not much of an excuse for becoming more authoritarian/overbearing/etc, Fascism Is Bad and I personally think a more IC superman would retreat more than double down (as in Kingdom Come), but looking at the totality of things that have happened to him before Cadmus, it's a little more understandable why he'd get close to snapping under the strain. Here's my personal reading of his arc, and the events that might have led to Clark behaving so irrationally in JLU.
cut for sheer length, but also mentions of manipulation, sexual assault, victim blaming, that sort of thing
One of the recurring themes in the DCAU is villains dehumanizing, depowering, and/or manipulating Clark. In STAS, Parasite, Lex via Bizarro, Talia and Ra’s al Ghul use him as a source for their own power. The Preserver and Maxima treat him like some exotic prize, disregarding his wishes. Jax-Ur and Mala use him and then betray him. But the most impactful, by far, is Darkseid.
In Apokolips Now, Darkseid defeats Clark, puts his bleeding body into public stocks, and drags him through the middle of Metropolis. Clark’s only rescued by the last minute intervention of the New Gods, and as a parting shot Darkseid murders Clark’s friend in front of everyone. Even though Clark prevents Earth from turning into Apokolips, it’s a huge emotional loss, and they don’t shy away from showing his rage and helplessness. But it’s when Darkseid returns in Legacy, the finale of STAS, that Clark’s life truly takes a turn for the worse.
Forgive me if this is all plot recap to you, anon, but I feel like a lot of people don’t know that STAS ends with Clark being mind controlled, heavily implied to be sexually assaulted, and forced to try to take over the Earth, killing god knows how many people in the process. When the military finally brings him down with a Kryptonite warhead and imprisons him, they nearly kill Supergirl in the process. Then Lex almost gives him a lethal injection, with a US general looking on, implying that the government approves of killing him. Lois breaks him out, he tries to get help for Kara from Dr. Hamilton, and then goes to Apokolips. Most fights in STAS have him shrug off blows. He ends this one bleeding from his mouth, looking almost dead. When he finally casts down Darkseid, tells the Hunger Dogs (the slaves on Apokolips) that they’re free… they turn away from Superman. They cluster around Darkseid to protect and heal him.
Tumblr media
Those universal truths of a lot of Superman stories, that goodness and liberty and the American Way* always win? They don't in STAS. A representative of the US government (as far as he knows) has tried to kill him. He lost his temper and spoke in a harsh tone of voice once, because Kara was dying and he was hurt and desperate, and now his friend Dr. Hamilton, the man he trusted to repair the Kryptonian ship, study his body and his powers, one of the people who knew him best in STAS, is afraid of him - and, as we find out later, takes immediate, drastic, and violating action against Kara and against him. The series ends with the small town man standing on the roof of the Planet, hearing people hate and fear him, wondering how people will ever trust him again.
*I hate this phrase personally when used as a Superman Motto, but it's used here as a contrast to the fascistic imagery of Apokolips Now and Legacy (as well as Brave New World, which, hoo boy, we aren’t even getting into that one).
Six months (iirc) after the STAS finale, in Secret Origins, the US government has agreed to let a visibly older and wearier Superman help disarm the nuclear stockpile - only for this to backfire on him because it was a Plot by the White Martians. Clark’s let down the country again. He’s helped aliens invade again, and to make matters worse, he sped away in the middle of an attack to break into an official government facility to free J'onn. Clark founds the Justice League beginning from a place of personal failure, as a check on himself. Clark has power and wants to help people with it, but he’s been turned against people he cares about, and has twice now failed to protect the world. It’s worth noting that Legacy put him into the world stage; before, in STAS, I can’t think of any true worldwide threats besides maybe Jax-Ur and Mala.
Most of the rest of season 1 of JL isn’t particularly Clark-focused, although he does appear in a lot of episodes, but the themes of some of these episodes are potentially relevant to understanding his character later, so: brief bullet point summaries.
During In Blackest Night, Clark sees his respected colleague turn himself into an authority that turns out to be incompetent investigators looking for a scapegoat. Interesting. Surrendering to governmental authority/oversight didn’t turn out too well here. 
During The Enemy Below, on Clark’s advice, Aquaman tries to solve his problems peacefully with diplomacy and is immediately shot in a life threatening assassination attempt.  Peaceful diplomacy doesn't work so well for him.
During Injustice for All, Lex is dying of cancer. Clark tries to reach out and is rebuffed, with Lex going on to try to found a team to kill him and the rest of the League.
During Paradise Lost, Clark sees his respected colleague turn herself into the authorities and immediately get banished from her home for the crime of trying to save it with all the resources she had at her disposal. Interesting. Surrendering to governmental authority/oversight didn’t turn out too well here, again. 
During War World, Clark’s again captured for exploitation. This is essentially a retread of The Main Man from STAS, doubling down on how some people see him as a thing to be exploited.
During Fury, Clark’s completely ineffective at preventing an attempted genocide of half the world’s population.
Season 2 opens with Twilight, one of the most important episodes for understanding Clark’s mindset during the Cadmus arc. Imagine, if you will, the above happening to you. Darkseid shows up at your workplace. And the man you’ve worked with the longest, your friend, your ally, tells you to cry him a river, build him a bridge, and get over it. Tells you to get over being brainwashed, manipulated, and humiliated. Tells you to get over having your broken and bleeding body paraded around the streets of Metropolis, tells you to get over having your friend killed in front of you for trying to defend you, tells you to get over almost getting your cousin killed. Sure, Brainiac is a planetary-scale threat; Darkseid and Apokolips are in real trouble. Clark was wrong to write off Apokolips and its people, and the League should absolutely have intervened in the situation. But the way Bruce went about it was… one of the harshest things DCAU Bruce has ever done, and one of the only times the narrative seems to actually agree that he was an asshole about it. And even then, you really need the context of STAS to understand why Clark is so furious and hurt in this scene.
Clark relents and goes along with Bruce’s plan to trust Darkseid, only to end up betrayed again, the whole ruse just another ploy for Brainiac to gain control of Clark, torture him, and use Clark’s body to upgrade himself. Clark had spared Darkseid back on Apokolips at the end of Legacy, on Kara’s advice. But now Darkseid’s come after him, again. Used him again to put not only Earth but who knows how many other worlds at risk, now that Brainiac’s even more powerful. It’s the downfall of Krypton, over and over again. And when Clark goes to end it, I think he doesn’t care that the base is about to go, as long as Darkseid goes down with it. That isn’t a price Bruce is willing to pay, so he teleports Clark out. And he’s wrong, again. “No one could have survived that.” Well… no, Bruce. Darkseid does, and Clark knows it.
Tumblr media
During Tabula Rasa, Lex manipulates Amazo the exact way he tried to use Bizarro. Clark once again fails to guard against a terrible, potentially world-ending threat, and in fact makes the situation worse by his very presence.
Then we come to Only a Dream, another key episode in understanding this version of Superman. Clark’s deepest fear is that his powers will keep on growing beyond his ability to control them, eventually destroying everything around him. In his nightmare He kills Lois and Jimmy, destroys the Daily Planet, and grows into a brutish, hulking, clumsy figure, first crying out for someone to help him, and then losing hope. He doesn’t want to hurt anyone. He goes back to the Kent farm and curls up in the spaceship in the fetal position, convinced that he’s only going to hurt anyone who tries to help. Is it any wonder, since that’s literally what’s happened to him in Legacy? Is it any wonder that he’d want to give up, to retreat? If we’re to take the World of Cardboard speech literally, he’s already having to focus on this restraint every day, in every interaction. This is my personal explanation/hc as to why in every single fight he lets himself get knocked around a bit first; he’s calibrating how hard he can hit back without doing irrevocable damage. Anyway. Deeply fucked up 2 minutes of horror. Wish they’d explored this a little bit more in later seasons.
Tumblr media
Then, directly after this, it’s A Better World. After we’ve just seen that his worst nightmare is hurting people by being unable to control his powers, we come face to face with a world where he’s hurt people by the precise and controlled application of his powers. Justice Lord Clark uses the same Superman Robots we saw Kara use in Legacy. He’s become quite adept at his lobotomization techniques. Later on in JLU, we see ‘our’ universe’s Clark attempt to lobotomize Doomsday the exact same way Justice Lord Superman did. Again, Clark fails to protect the world from himself, and to make matters worse, the guy to save the day is Lex Luthor. I’d be a little miffed if the maniac who wants to kill me so so bad turned out to be instrumental in saving the world and now I owe him some unspecified favor in the future. Clark’s met with failure and distrust trying to fix things his way, now he tries to do things in an uncharacteristically sneaky way and… gets met with more dislike and distrust.
Eclipsed continues this trend of hurting his friends; he’s temporarily mind controlled and hurts Wally.
In The Terror Beyond, he fucks up and puts the world in danger again, all because from his point of view, he tried to prevent Solomon Grundy being manipulated and used (like he himself has been used over and over again).
In Secret Society, his frustration comes to a peak, amplified by Grodd’s telepathic manipulation. He’s been trying to do his best, but he snaps that he’s had better luck fighting armies alone (dubious plural there, but he did pretty much evaporate an army in Legacy, so at least once, ok) and that he’s had to hold back his abilities in order to be on the League. Again if we take the World of Cardboard speech at face value, this is true, and we see it in the episode when he accidentally hurts Shayera with heat vision despite shouting a warning beforehand. It’s also telling how other members of the League have the ability to constantly voice doubts about its usefulness and cohesiveness as an organization (hi Bruce) but when he expresses the same doubts everyone gasps. When he expresses his doubt and frustration, when he steps away, the organization that’s collectively saved the world several times falls apart; they’re reliant on him, and he has to be aware of the entire existence of the League as an extra burden of responsibility.
Tumblr media
Since both this episode and the Cadmus arc as a whole are meant to show his flaws as a leader, it’s worth examining the foundations of that leadership as established in the DCAU. Clark’s the leader of the League, but narratively, Bruce is its brains and its ethics and Wally is its heart. As a result, Clark is filling the role of leader of the League without the narrative scaffolding that gives him the respect comics incarnations of the character are generally accorded. (I’m admittedly only drawing here from the JLA runs I’ve personally read, Morrison/Porter 90’s JLA and the early Fox/Sekowsky 60’s JLA). Superman might not technically be the First Superhero according to these continuities, but he is respected as though he is (and as we comic book nerds know him to be). The League in these comics treat him as something of an ethical standard bearer, a primus inter pares, as well as being the muscle. In the DCAU, Batman, having founded the DCAU with BTAS, is the First Superhero, and the entire plotline of the Justice Lords centers Wally as the emotional anchor of the team. Clark doesn’t have that pre-established stature. What really qualifies him to be the leader, besides the fact that Bruce doesn’t want to do it? His position seems precarious, relying more on Superman’s pre-established reputation than his actual onscreen characterization. Centering Bruce and Wally are legitimate creative choices I don’t even necessarily disagree with, but it means Clark-as-leader functions quite differently than more traditional JL structures.
Hereafter is something of a healing point for him. It’s a little fucked up that Superman almost bashes Vandal Savage’s head in with a rock, but you take what you can get at this point. He comes out of it fine, but everyone else is forced to reckon with what he means to them. Hereafter coming directly after Secret Society is a very good reunification for the League. Shame about what’s gonna happen in three episodes.
In Wild Cards, he’s useful to address the immediate threat but ineffective to stop the real, countrywide (worldwide?) threat. (I should note that of course I don’t expect every episode’s threat to be solved by Clark; I’m just pointing out a trend that I think his character would perceive as failures on his part. If the writers ever let him reflect.)
JL ends as it began, with another massive alien invasion that Clark helped facilitate in Starcrossed, by working with the Thanagarians during the first part of their plan. As a fellow exile, a fellow alien, he’s hurt and angry with Shayera’s betrayal… even though, in the end, in probably one of his best moments, he votes to allow her to stay in the League.
(Sidenote: almost every interaction Clark has had with other aliens have been despotic societies or individuals: Jax-Ur and Mala, Apokolips, Maxima’s planet, War World, and now Thanagar. The Guardians built robotic police/foot soldiers to enforce their will. Even New Genesis is ruled by a benevolent dictator. Martian society is nearly extinct, overrun by… more alien despots, surviving only with J'onn. Argoan society is nearly extinct, surviving only with Kara. At least Lobo isn’t a fascist? Small consolation.)
JLU begins after a short time skip. I’m not as familiar with JLU episodes since it’s been a while since I’ve watched them, so I’m not going to attempt an episode-by-episode breakdown. Also this post is already way too long. But the point of this post is to look at Clark’s overall arc until this point, and see how it informs his decisions in JLU. For a more JLU-specific informed point of view check this post by januariat!
What we have is a man who naturally wants to take responsibility on his own shoulders, a doer and a fixer who wants to get into the ring and solve problems, who wants to use his abilities to help, being confronted over and over again with a string of personal failures, manipulation, and betrayal. When he tries to set a boundary about not being willing to help the man who took over his body and forced him against his home in Twilight, he’s told to get over it by his most trusted ally. When his deepest fears are revealed in Only a Dream, we see them having been already realized in Legacy. And when he’s presented with his dream of a peaceful life farming, a family that loves him, and no responsibility to save the world, it’s ripped away from him in For The Man Who Has Everything.
Ultimately, I don’t have a good answer for exactly how he doubles down in JLU S2, because I need to rewatch all of it with this understanding of the character. But I think you can see the shape of a traditional Superman character in there, trying and trying again and again to do the right thing, putting himself on the line - only instead of learning from his experiences and letting them inform his actions, he’s carrying the weight of years of suppressed trauma while trying to hold up the entire Justice League. This long, long run of failure, manipulation, betrayal, and distrust adds up. And there’s only so much weight one person can hold on their shoulders, even if they are a Superman.
(And then as the nice little capstone to his story, in Batman Beyond's The Call, he’s kept under alien mind control for years! With the way Starro clings to his chest, he probably hasn’t been touched in years! Trapped in his own mind, forced to watch as yet another alien species uses him as a tool to hurt his own teammates and invade the Earth! And that’s the last we see of DCAU Clark! What a fun little ending to his character arc that doesn’t make me go insane whenever I think about it. Very very very normal about this.)

cw// suicide/ self harm mentions
Just wanted to announce for my like 8 followers that I will be taking a possibly permanent break from this site. Really I just can’t handle it and I know it’s mostly my fault but I also want people to be aware of the effects that ur discourse has on people. I saw a post about how transandrophobia truthers should kill themselves to rid the world of their disgusting presence yesterday and well, I wanted to take that advice but I chickened out and now I just have bruises. I’m sorry. I don’t want this to come off as a guilt trip, and I know some people reading this might think I’m making a big deal out of nothing, and this is nothing compared to the harassment transfems face. Maybe that’s true, and I know it’s a little ridiculous to self harm so dramatically over things people say online, but you know, i really believed them. I wanted to do the right thing, and I mean it.
I guess I just latched onto the word transandrophobia because I thought it described the way I could be assaulted for being a woman in other people’s eyes, and then be told to shut up about it, because I’m a man, after all. I thought it worked well to explain how I could be targeted by the sort of fetishization people put on Asian women, while simultaneously being seen as predatory for being masculine. And while I’m fine to stop using the word “transandrophobia”, I will never stop believing that my experiences exist at some legitimate intersection. I don’t know what it is yet exactly. I’m sorry that I don’t have a better grasp on all this. But because I can’t stop believing in the things I’ve experienced, i guess I’ll always be some sort of “truther,” to some people. And I know it’s wrong to be this— don’t think I don’t feel any shame over it! But I’ve tried to drive out those thoughts before, and they just crept back and back, whenever my back was turned. I cannot get rid of them. I’m not very connected to the big accounts posting about this stuff, so I think I also just don’t really comprehend the situation with harassment and everything that lead people to tell others to kill themselves. However, I do think that if you tell people to end their lives, you should be prepared for some of them to do it, legitimately. Maybe that was the intention all along, and this post doesn’t mean a lot, then. But I prefer to believe that people don’t actually want a lot of their fellow trans people dead.
I’m sorry, genuinely. I saw a different post last week that said we should drive transandrodorks out of every irl queer space until they realize they’re all alone, forever. Well, the people I know irl haven’t driven me out yet, and maybe it’s shitty of me, but I’m going to keep hanging around them until they stop wanting to be around me anymore. They love me so far and selfishly I hope it continues like that. Im sorry, genuinely, but I don’t want to leave. They make me feel like it’s a beautiful thing that I exist. I hope I get to live like that for a long time. They’re also telling me to get off this website so I might not see responses to this post.
You can reblog this if you want, even though it’s very personal. I hope people realize I’m being real with this. I don’t fully understand this discourse and this post will probably reflect that— I’m really not trying to play into a particular narrative. I’m very autistic and take things people say very seriously by default. I just want people to understand how it feels. Thank you for reading this all.

i was going to say this when i first saw maureen's tweets about sending their self harm + harassing shep and all that on twitter (sorry 4 lowkey stalking u maureen if ur reading this. 😭😭😭) but. ill say it now just because i feel like i should since they said something about it themself
there is no such thing as a perfect victim.
it doesnt exist! people often will dismiss abuse when the victim turns out to be a 'bad person' in their eyes.
this one's extreme, but take gypsy rose as an example. when people saw the photos of her crime scene and heard how much of a "liar" she became because of her mom... people started saying that she deserved to still be in jail. i even saw people say she DESERVED to have been taken advantage of in the ways that she was by her mother
take even. dare i say. take shep themself as an example. im in NO WAY excusing their actions in any way. i hate their guts. nothing can excuse what theyre doing. but they've said that they have trauma tied to sexual assault. if they came out today and was like "hey this is who abused me. this is the proof that they abused me" i would HOPE people would be like "wow! this guy who abused shep should be brought to justice! we still fucking hate you though, shep, and youre still responsible for the things you do!"
hurt people hurt people. some offenders are victims themselves. maureen isnt an example of that specifically, those are just really exaggerated examples.
even if someone's a genuinely bad person which, maureen is far fucking from it, no one try and say that btw. dont try and twist my goddamn words. i just think bad people have bad things happen to them and even those things should be taken seriously. you shouldnt disregard someone being abused if they fought back or if they did something even like. unrelated to the abuse.
getting taken advantage of in those ways is never your fault, no matter who you are or what you've done. trying to get back at your abuser is well. the normal thing to do i guess. like i said. hurt people hurt people.
Posting as is

D-Day was a powerful illustration of how alliances make us stronger in the defense of freedom. This lesson has never resonated more.
[President Biden]

LETTERS FROM AN AMERICAN
June 6, 2024
HEATHER COX RICHARDSON
JUN 07, 2024
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt had good news for the American people when he gave his twenty-ninth Fireside Chat on June 5, 1944. The day before, on June 4, Rome had fallen to Allied troops. “The first of the Axis capitals is now in our hands,” Roosevelt said. 
The president pointed out that “it is…significant that Rome has been liberated by the armed forces of many nations. The American and British armies—who bore the chief burdens of battle—found at their sides our own North American neighbors, the gallant Canadians. The fighting New Zealanders from the far South Pacific, the courageous French and the French Moroccans, the South Africans, the Poles and the East Indians—all of them fought with us on the bloody approaches to the city of Rome. The Italians, too, forswearing a partnership in the Axis which they never desired, have sent their troops to join us in our battles against the German trespassers on their soil.”
This group of ordinary men from many different countries had worked together to defeat the forces of fascism.
But FDR warned Americans that the fall of Rome was only the beginning. “We shall have to push through a long period of greater effort and fiercer fighting before we get into Germany itself,” he said. [T]he victory still lies some distance ahead. That distance will be covered in due time—have no fear of that. But it will be tough and it will be costly.”
FDR knew something his audience did not. On the other side of the Atlantic, paratroopers, their faces darkened with cocoa, were already dropping into France, and the soldiers, sailors, and airmen of the Allies were on their way across the English channel. 
The order of the day from their commander Dwight D. Eisenhower that day had read: “You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you. The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you. In company with our brave Allies and brothers-in-arms on other Fronts, you will bring about the destruction of the German war machine, the elimination of Nazi tyranny over the oppressed people of Europe, and security for ourselves in a free world. 
“Your task will not be an easy one,” it read, but it assured the troops that the Germans had suffered great defeats and Allied bombing had reduced German strength, while “[o]ur Home Fronts have given us an overwhelming superiority in weapons and munitions of war, and placed at our disposal great reserves of trained fighting men. The tide has turned! The free men of the world are marching together to Victory!”
Eisenhower’s public confidence did not reflect his understanding that the largest amphibious invasion in military history was a gamble. On June 5, in pencil on a sheet of paper, he had written a message to be communicated in case the invasion failed.     
“Our landings in the Cherbourg-Havre area have failed to gain a satisfactory foothold and I have withdrawn the troops,” it read. “My decision to attack at this time and place was based upon the best information available. The troops, the air and the Navy did all that bravery and dedication to duty could do. If any blame or fault attaches to the attempt it is mine alone.”
On the morning of June 6, 1944, five naval assault divisions stormed the beaches of Normandy. Seven thousand ships and landing craft operated by more than 195,000 naval personnel from 8 countries brought almost 133,000 troops to beaches given the code names UTAH, OMAHA, GOLD, JUNO, and SWORD. By the end of the day, more than 10,000 Allied troops were wounded or killed, but the Allies had established a foothold in France that would permit them to flood troops, vehicles, and supplies into Europe. When FDR held a press conference later that day, officials and press both were jubilant. 
Today, eighty years later, world leaders and more than two dozen U.S. veterans of D-Day gathered to commemorate that day. They met above Omaha Beach at the Normandy American Cemetery, where the remains of 9,388 Americans, many of whom were killed on D-Day, are buried. 
“Hitler and those with him thought democracies were weak, that the future belonged to dictators,” President Joe Biden said in a speech. “Here, on the coast of Normandy, the battle between freedom and tyranny would be joined.” 
Biden honored the visiting veterans by name—Kenneth Blaine Smith, Bob Gibson, Ben Miller, Louis Brown, Woody Woodhouse, Marjorie Stone—and recounted what they did that day: operating radar, driving an M4 tractor mounted with an anti-aircraft gun, dragging injured soldiers to safety, treating wounds, driving trucks carrying supplies, flying and fixing planes. 
Echoing FDR’s chat about the fall of Rome, Biden attributed D-Day’s success to ordinary people. “Every soldier who stormed the beach, who dropped by parachute or landed by glider; every sailor who manned the thousands of ships and landing craft; every aviator who destroyed German-controlled air fields, bridges, and railroads—all—all were backed by other brave Americans, including hundreds of thousands of people of color and women who courageously served despite unjust limitations on what they could do for their nation,” Biden said. 
The story of the veterans “has always been the story of America,” Biden said. “Just walk the rows of this cemetery…. Nearly 10,000 heroes buried side by side, officers and enlisted, immigrants and native-born. Different races, different faiths, but all Americans. All served with honor when America and the world needed them most.” 
“Millions back home did their part as well.  From coast to coast, Americans found countless ways to pitch in. They understood our democracy is only as strong as all of us make it, together.” 
“The men who fought here became heroes not because they were the strongest or toughest or were fiercest—although they were,” Biden said, “but because they…knew, beyond any doubt, there are things that are worth fighting and dying for.” 
“Freedom is worth it. Democracy is worth it. America is worth it. The world is worth it—then, now, and always.”
“Here we proved the forces of liberty are stronger than the forces of conquest,” Biden said. “Here we proved that the ideals of our democracy are stronger than any army or combination of armies in the entire world.”
D-Day also proved that alliances make us stronger, Biden said, a principle that after the war led to the creation of “the greatest military alliance in the history of the world,” NATO. He continued, to applause: “America’s unique ability to bring countries together is an…undeniable source of our strength and our power. Isolationism was not the answer 80 years ago, and it is not the answer today.”  
“The struggle between a dictatorship and freedom is unending,” he said, and he vowed that the U.S., NATO, and allied countries will not walk away from Ukraine in its fight to resist Russia’s assault. “[T]o bow down to dictators,” he said, “means we’d be forgetting what happened here on these hallowed beaches.”
“History tells us freedom is not free,” Biden said. “If you want to know the price of freedom, come here to Normandy…and remember: The price of unchecked tyranny is the blood of the young and the brave. 
“In their generation, in their hour of trial, the Allied forces of D-Day did their duty. Now the question for us is: In our hour of trial, will we do ours?
“We’re living in a time when democracy is more at risk across the world than at any point…since these beaches were stormed in 1944. Now, we have to ask ourselves: Will we stand against tyranny, against evil, against crushing brutality of the iron fist? 
“Will we stand for freedom? Will we defend democracy? Will we stand together?
“My answer is yes. And it only can be yes.” 
“Let us be the generation that when history is written about our time—in 10, 20, 30, 50, 80 years from now—it will be said: When the moment came, we met the moment. We stood strong. Our alliances were made stronger. And we saved democracy in our time as well.”
During the ceremony, the past and the present came together. Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelensky shook the hand of a U.S. veteran in a wheelchair. When the man tried to kiss Zelensky’s hand, the Ukraine president instead stooped and hugged him. “You’re the savior of the people,” the man said. Zelensky answered, “You saved Europe.” The exchange continued: “You’re my hero.” “No, you are our hero.” 
As the crowd cheered, the old man turned to look at the younger one and said, “I pray for you.”

Continuing on this topic, what are ur opinions on when someone gets SA'd/assualted/abused when they're grown, like let's say when they're in their 20s or 30s or sum', would chai's belief still apply to this? It's smth I've been wondering for a while, cause like I get how impressionable the mind and the subconscious is when ure younger but what about when ure older? Would it mean u were somehow feeding ur subconscious those thoughts? And I'm talking about this in the situation where uve never been assaulted or abused before but then u suddenly do, i wonder how that'd work.
I also heavily agree with this:
some of us are not born in circumstances that are meant to build a healthy childhood, and with that in mind, some of us are bound to have horrid experiences and life lessons placed on our young, moldable minds. that's not anyone's fault, it is not and never will be your fault. always remember that whenever thinking about the law in correspondence to your childhood and other unfavorable times in your life.
Because I believe that it is VERY important to keep this in mind as to not lead to self blaming.
I think that the community has a massive problem with victim blaming and solipsism (on a lesser note) bc some of y'all sound so incredibly egotistical and narcissistic when it comes to the law and eiypo talking about how u can just "delete" someone from reality if they do smth u don't like/agree with like blud......
Honestly when I enter the void and manifest a good belief and knowing the truth about how everything works I doubt that I'll believe in the law as much as I currently do.
(Sorry if I've been sending too many asks. I've been giving the opportunity to express my opinions and beliefs in the law in such an accepting space and am getting talkative, lol)
(Who knows maybe I'll even dm u on my account so we can talk with eachother privately)
I spent a while thinking about this, not just because it's a sensitive topic but also because I didn't want this post to be taken as victim-blaming or any of that sort. It's not that it's part of my answer, I'm meaning to say that traumatic experiences aren't your fault, especially S.A, assault, and abuse.
I know that there have been loassumption bloggers (not just bloggers but on YT as well) that blame victims for their abuser's actions just because of EIYPO but I found an answer that doesn't take this route. And to me, this answer makes more sense.
CW: There will be a lot of mentions about the 3 words above so if you feel like you can't digest such a deep dive into a sensitive topic you feel triggered by, I suggest you pass by this post and take a breather. You'll be all right &lt;3
reminder: this is my take on this, feel free to correct me constructively. This also felt more of a ramble so this may seem incoherent to some.
Tumblr media
Hello ‼️ anon! To answer your question, yes, I do think that chai's belief still applies but in a different way. My main 2 theories include thought patterns and programming.
~~~ I forgot the exact saying so I'll just describe them to you. You know those things people say a lot as a precaution? Well, at least how I view it. Like, For how others would say you can't trust any men, always be careful when passing by a certain street, always bring pepper spray, etc.
I feel like that would tie into chai's belief. It's like your surroundings programming your subconscious about the said things. And those sayings would fruit into bigger things and into different categories of beliefs about people, your household, your workplace, etc.
Such as "Wo/Men are mean" -> "Wo/Men cannot be trusted" -> "Wo/Men just always break my heart every time..." -> "Wo/Men are cruel and only use you..." all of that.
You see the thought pattern?
Now, the question is: "Was this all your doing?" The simple answer is no. As Chai has said before, these are things forcefully manifested to you by your environment. It wasn't you feeding those things to your mind, it was your environment that programmed your subconscious how to view your world. But how? Danger has always been there, bad things has always been there, it all existed there. It may have been programmed to you in a way that you feel so close to it/more possible for it to happen to you. (in my exp!! emphasis on my experience!!)
"like let's say when they're in their 20s or 30s or sum',.... And I'm talking about this in the situation where uve never been assaulted or abused before but then u suddenly do, i wonder how that'd work."
Oh-kay, let's say for the sake of your question, the assault suddenly happens, I'm going back to the whole "if you don't have an assumption about someone you don't know, eiypo does not apply." And to the "simple thoughts fruit into bigger things into different categories." As for the abuser part, I still feel like I don't have a good answer for that, theoretical or not. So, I'd rather not share it since I am still thinking deeply about it while considering various factors.
★ ending note Chai's beliefs still applies to this in the approach of thought programming and patterns. It is ONCE AGAIN, important to note that YOU did NOT manifest these unfavorable situations/circumstances. These beliefs, programming, and thought patterns, DIDN'T START WITH YOU. It was either your environment or merely the free will of the people that they shouldn't abuse. It's not your fault, and it never will be.
Tumblr media
Honestly when I enter the void and manifest a good belief and knowing the truth about how everything works I doubt that I'll believe in the law as much as I currently do.
That honestly sounds so interesting! If you don't mind, I'd like it if you expand on this because this just turns up curiosity level to a high level. :DD

Hey sorry if this is like... super weird or anything, but do you ever struggle with radical feminism? I'm new to it. And sometimes I feel like a bad person. Especially when it comes to trans stuff.
I read all about it. About the statistic of male violence. About that story about the woman who was beat by a TRA and that she's now disabled. About closing women's shelters. About the misogynistic language. Death threats. Rape threats. The homophobia. The lesbophobia. Transing kids. Detrans stories. How dangerous hormones and puberty blockers are. Doxxing. How so many trans women just seem to be AGP males. How they turn it into a fetish. How woman is a feeling. How it's about wearing make-up and skirts. How GNC women are considered trans. About girls and women who transition to male and the way they talk about it basically boils down to 'I didn't want to be sexualised.' How women's rights can't be talked about anymore. How sex is no longer real. How we're called bleeders, womb-owners, birthing people, and so on. How there are males in female sports. Men in women's restrooms. Trans women who have assaulted or spied on girls and women in restrooms, changing rooms, etc. I have read a lot about it since getting into radical feminism. And I know radical feminism isn't all about this. I focus on more than just being gender critical, but it seems that this is the only part of radical feminism I'm struggling with.
When I read about it I feel very disturbed, and I feel justified in being gender critical. But then I also start feeling bad? Like I'm a bad person because of transphobia. Maybe I see a video by a trans person, or I see a trans person just living their life, and I feel bad. Like, sure there are a lot of misogynistic trans people out there, but aren't there also kind ones? Who just want to live their life and who aren't harming anyone? Do you know what I mean?
About that story about the woman who was beat by a TRA and that she's now disabled.
can u link this to me?? ive never heard of this wtf
also of course, there's all sorts of trans people bc people in general are varied. i don't view being trans as some inherent fault in the person themselves or something. i often view it as being a victim of a shitty system in many cases. my issue is not with trans ppl & never will be, its with the ideology underlying the movement & the movement itself. i dont oppose trans rights or think people should be killed or harmed for transitioning and do think people should have the freedom to pursue that when theyre making an informed decision as adults. so like while i get where ur coming from i think it would perhaps help u to separate the two?

@ men who think they’re “more opressed” than women are because they can’t find a lover:
-Grow up
-It’s okay to admit you have social anxiety issues and get help for that, instead of blaming women for yo ur problems.
-It’s okay to need help with social skills instead of blaming women for your problems
-A lot of the time when women never give you the time of day, it’s because you come off as a dangerous or creepy without realizing. Most women grow up being afraid of men to some extent. If you start throwing a fit just because a girl wont kiss you after you held open a door for them, it’s probably because you’re being a walking red flag.
-DMing random women to flirt with them is seen as coming on way too strong, which is why women are not responding to you. They think you are creepy.
- Showing unsolicited dick pics is sexual harassment.
- If a woman rejects you for being short, she wasn’t meant for you in the first place and probably wouldn’t have been happy with her.
-If you disrespect women and demand they submit to you, you will likely never find a woman who respects you.
-Most women do not find men making edgy rape jokes funny and find it to be a turn off.
- There are countless numbers of nerdy women who love things like Video Games and Star Wars. If you can’t find any, you’re either socializing in the wrong spaces or you’re scaring them away by being creepy.
- You can’t blame women for all of men’s issues when it’s men who objectively cause most, if not all of them. Family court favoring mothers does so due to sexist stereotypes created by men about women being “nurturing” and men being “uncaring”. The male suicide rate is so high because of toxic masculinity teaches men that expressing ones emotions and being open instead if bottling everything up is somehow bad. Female pedophiles never get much time in prison because men insist that all men and boys want sex and that they should be “lucky” to be assaulted. This isn’t the fault of women. Women didn’t make up these stupid bullshit toxic masculinity rules.

Wes Anderson who for reminder sexually assaulted his 13 year old trans niece and then said it was her fault for seducing him by dressing provocatively // Wes Anderson has never been accused of anything like that. It was David O Russel who assaulted his trans niece (who was 19, not 13) and said she was dressing provocatively. Ur point still stands about Scarlett being shitty as she has expressed wanting to work with David O Russel but i just wanted 2 correct that mix up.

Trigger Warning: I talk about rape and season 4. Please delete this and don’t read it if that will hurt you or affect you negatively. 🥺😥 I’m just so upset at the writing, like why have Jess tell Justin “your shit is my shit” and that she’d go into that dark place with him and then when he gets back from rehab, taking beautiful steps to improve himself and get better (and eventually be back with her again!), she plays such cruel mind games on him with Diego and tells him that ofc everything has to be all about him. Like what?? I do not recognize Jess in season 4. She was his biggest support and then, all of a sudden, she’s emotionally tearing him down and trying to hurt him and make him jealous. They’re both SA survivors; I wanted them to begin to heal in season 4 and yeah, maybe take a break romantically, but come back stronger; boost each other up, mutually supportive besties, always. I’m just really sad. And how fucking messed up is that Justin **** thinking he may have given Jess HIV? Why did Jess wait to get tested? And why did no one tell Justin it wasn’t his fault, 😥 , that storyline was so upsetting and really triggers me bc I always believed my rapes were my fault too and it’s like they’re saying bc it’s in the context of sex for pay, the assaults are shameful and nasty and all his fault. I’m sorry for this, I’m just depressed again and you’re the only person I know that might understand.
gawd im so sorry!!!! that season was a giant face-punch for everybody who has ever struggled with depression, with sexual assault recovery or addiction.
I feel like the sensationalisation and romanticisation of trauma (esp in that stupid show) is so gross!!! like oh no, lets just pile on trauma in the name of drama and never acknowledge the lasting effects of it. it almost feels as though 13rw is a show for the mentally healthy to look at our lives and be entertained, to cry and feel for us, like we're animals in a zoo for their entertainment.
but jesstin was 100% supposed to heal, they were supposed to be that couple that's broken up but everybody thinks they're still secretly together because they're just hanging out all the time. Where was the scene of jess letting justin into HO? or showing the affects of bryce on jess's grades instead of just one (1) scene?
Imagine the final shots of the show where we actually get to see justin in a scene that shows his development??? i mean i hate his de*th but even if we just got to see him talk to hannah in clay's vision and BOOM hannah and justin are actually friends, or he apologises to her and she's like 'i never blamed you for what happened to jess, i'm sorry i didn't get to tell you, i'm sorry i sent out that tape' like??? they could have done so much. they needed katherine for ONE scene and like???
i was reading some character opinions on insta bc i like to torture myself as we all know 🙄 and people HATE jess???? she talks about her assault too much?!?!? this is what happens when a show has 12 male characters in all 4 seasons and ONE female character!!!! how does a show about sexual assault and a girl's suicide fuck up that badly??? and they used s3 to make her look bad (which i loved her in s3 idk what crack the fucktards were smoking) and then s4 they make her worse??? i call misogyny!!!! this writing is fucking awful and alisha boe my love u deserve better and brandon..... is brandon..... he's ok i guess
always here !!!! whenever y’all need to rant or complain. u feeling down? vent. it’s all good. u can just type ‘pls don’t post’ if its too personal or send me a private ask <3 or message me any time!!!

ok i was going to say more but i got busy and forgot. Coming back to rant now bc im drunk and my gf fell asleep so im bored. but like. idk if it is something in the way that i discuss what has happened to me , but the way that these people i considered best friends treated my v formative trauma as tho it is barely real is like. So surreal idk. the first friend told me she was jealous i was sexually abused because it meant boys liked me, when they never liked her. and the second told me he was jealous i was sent to the psych ward as a child because it meant i got taken seriously -- and also said similar things irt sexual abuse/desireability. and i just don't know how to respond to that bc neither of those things are particularly true. it's so funny almost? when someone makes it so clear that they're projecting. what they said about my experiences were so untrue. i barely even had to be there it was so not about me. dehumanizing as fuck but whatever. clearly they Dgaf about dehumanization considering how they talk about sexual assault but
the sexual abuse stuff is so crazy bc it's literally just Woke Victim Blaming. i was actually just way too sexy when i was seventwelvesixteen so i got harassed or whatever else. that one is particularly funny bc i was absolutely undesirable to men regardless of what they were doing to me. maybe it's only obvious to ppl who have experienced it but the people who sexually abused and harassed and assaulted me did not do it because i was so attractive. they did it because i was a deeply vulnerable and hypersexual child who was often on drugs and in a dissociative state and did not know it was possible for me to experience Safety. like im sorry u didn't get molested so then ur trauma responses made u an easy target. it must have really sucked to have not experienced that fundamental violation of your sexual autonomy before you knew even understood what it was. this was. the breaking point in the first friendship bc it was the most horrible thing on the entire planet to hear from someone i trusted so completely. that i was lucky, that it was because i was attracting it myself, that it would never be taken seriously as a violation.
which brings me to the second point about them saying they were jealous of the Severity of my mental illness because like. idk i wasn't receiving more attention for it or anything that's just how mentally ill i was. i actually went to pretty extreme fucking lengths to hide what i was doing and not end up in a hospital. there was no world in which i did not end up in treatment because if i didn't, i was going to end up in the morgue. i don't want to sound insensitive? because i think everyone deserves treatment. but acting like being forcibly hospitalized as a CHILD was somehow a privilege and not one of the most traumatic things i could ever imagine is like stupid at best evil at worst. i was hospitalized because there was no other course of action or i was going to die. it's not my fault that that wasn't true for you. my parents didn't want to hospitalize me. they didn't want to send me away. they tried to fight it and the doctors wouldn't let them. i just think it's so ridiculous to act as tho it was some sort of special validation i got for being Sick Enough (tm). like it's a sticker everyone deserves. it's not that it was a month of trauma and panic and separation and being poked and prodded and abused and neglected by the system and sexually harassed AGAIN and it ruined my relationships w my family, my mother had to take Months off of work, the debt was enormous, i still get panic attacks and flashbacks...... im glad that he wasn't sick enough to get that validation i guess is all i have to say. im glad that didn't happen to him and it's a stupid thing to want
i hate how often i think about it but like. If i had a nickel for every time i had to stop being friends w someone i consider to be one of my closest friends because they kept telling me that they were jealous i got sexually abused , i would have two nickels . which isn't a lot but it's Insane that it happened twice !!!!!!
