#words of wrath

[words-of-wrath]

I know this has been said over and over a thousand times. But, people, please take care of your tops/doms.

There's a reason a trans service top is such a hot commodity, a reason we don't see a lot of them.

In my experience, which is transfem, we are seen as predatory. But it goes deeper still than that for just about any top and dom.

See, when subs express their desires it's often at their own expense. "Please rape me, choke me, drown me, etc."

But a dom expresses their desire at someone else's expense. "I want to rape you, I want to choke you, I want to drown you, I want to cut you, etc."

Its easy to blow off a sub expressing desire at their expense in a kink space. But I feel like it's harder for people who don't understand these types of kinks to be comfortable around us.

Which usually leads to exclusion.

You can be discomforted with me as a service top with a snuff kink, but excluding me is actionable and not okay for a healthy environment.

And subs, bottoms, doms and tops need aftercare to. I get that we are doing horrid things to you and you need to be taken care of afterward, but holy hell you need to check in with us as the ones doing these things at your expense. We love you! That's why we do this, but please take care of us to.

Often I see subs and bottoms expecting all the attention and care and giving none of it back.

Please be kind to your tops and doms, especially when they have very hard kinks such as a myself.

There's so much wrong with "everyone is a little bit autistic"

Yes, allistic people might know a lot of facts about the things they like. Yes, allistic people might get a bit overwhelmed or underwhelmed sometimes. Yes, allistic people might not get an expression sometimes, mostly if it's the first time they hear it.

That doesn't make them autistic.

Those traits only make someone autistic when they become disabling. Because, big shock, autism is a disability. Yeah, even if someone is low support needs, because that doesn't mean they don't need any support at all.

Saying "everyone is a little bit autistic" is like saying "everyone struggles with this, so suck it up, you have no right to need help". Which is just pure ableist bullshit. It denies the fact that autistic people have higher support needs than NTs, no matter where in the autistic spectrum they are. We're not "neurospicy", we're disabled, and denying this fact is denying us the right to get the help we need, we deserve, to have a good life.

(yes, this rant is just because I made the awful decision of listening to "neurospicy (interlude)" by Jax. honestly I'd rather be called a slur than listen to that shit again.)

I think that we as a fandom focus too much on Will remembering those words Hannibal said to him:

But sleep on those:

Between Savoureux and Yakimono passed at most two months, and Will was in the Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane at that time, so the fact that he remembers those words seems to me to nothing compared to the second ones.

Hannibal said these words to Will while they were eating ortolans together in Ko no mono. Will repeated them to Dolarhyde in The Wrath of the Lamb, a good four years later - after surviving the bloodbath in Hannibal's kitchen, the journey through Europe, Hannibal's trial, his relationship with Molly, and being a stepdad.

Will remembered them. They were so important that he even had to emphasize that those words were said to him.

Angband falls. Beleriand sinks. And Maglor’s wandering when comes across an emaciated hand on the sea shore. Now, it’s not uncommon to see bodies and limbs especially with the mass death of so many orcs and elves killed in the War of Wrath.

But this one he recognises.

The ring bearing the star of the Crown Prince turned King, at the time only recently given by a dying father to his eldest son. The misshapen gold from a young nephew learning his craft, worn with pride even in the darkness of Beleriand. Favoured gemstones embedded in a more elegant ring given by a younger brother as a gift for reaching the highest level of scholarship.

But he wouldn’t need any of that. Not really. Because even scarred and bloodied and shrivelled as it is, Maglor recognises the hand of his eldest brother, left in an iron shackle on the heights of Thangorrodrim.

A hand taken trophy by a Vala and enchanted never to decay. A prize with a place of honour in Morgoth’s Iron Hell.

A hand that’s all Maglor has left of his older brother.

Cradling the slowly decaying flesh, Maglor slowly works at pulling off the iron cuff, careful not to damage Nelyo’s hand any further. It takes days. Weeks. But he refuses to make another mark on it. When it finally comes off, he tosses the cursed object to the depths of the sea, and for the first time, leaves the shore.

Ulmo watches as the Singer makes his way inland, single minded focus driving him away from his lamentation. Maglor walks and walks, weeks, months, all the while carefully protecting the last piece of his brother. The Vala of the Oceans isn’t the only one watching as he stumbles and falls and fights what orcs remain with terrifying fervour until he at last reaches what he’s looking for.

A fiery chasm. One of few left in an almost sunken Beleriand. Just big enough to do what’s needed.

Kneeling at the edge, he holds the hand to his chest, and for a moment it’s like Nelyo is there with him, promising it will be ok. It’s all the courage he needs.

When Maglor falls, he doesn’t feel fear. Pain. Grief. Or even the fire.

Only his brother welcoming him home.

So I read "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" by Robert Louis Stevenson and I

[sad4ppleart]

i'm never gonna finish this anyway so here's scrapped horny arthas art

[astraeajackson]

i don't know WHAT to feel about some of the opinions on the chalice of the gods and the wrath of the triple goddess that i've seen on here, but personally, i absolutely LOVE our new books. why? because ANNABETH CHASE.

iin the earlier books, annabeth didn't have the chance to goof off at ALL. she was head counsellor of the athena cabin at TWELVE years old, she'd gone through unspeakable trauma, the people she loved were dying around her, and on top of all THAT, she was EXPECTED to hold herself together, because she was THE daughter of athena. the one that had to have all the plans.

which is why, in the chalice of the gods, i'm just so happy that she finally found her happy place.

because now, she has PLANS, this time not for others, but for HERSELF. plans for what SHE wants to do with HER future. she's at a great school doing something she's incredibly passionate about, she FINALLY has her boyfriend all to herself, and she's completely free of any worry that some sneaky goddess will swipe him away from her again, because the worst is OVER now.

now, we can watch annabeth blossom in the arms of FREEDOM from such responsibility, and SEE her goof around to her heart's content: dueting on 'shallow' with percy, hosting her very FIRST halloween party, sneaking into percy's bedroom just for the FUN of it, and just generally being the sweet goof she never got to be as a kid.

because annabeth chase is NOT boring and she is NOT a killjoy, and people need to STOP portraying her as such because she is the sweetest and most AMAZING character in the whole series.

Tits idk you come up with a caption

[valewritessss]

Listen I can take a joke or two but if multiple people are questioning whether your editor has a piss kink, you definitely did something questionable

[his-tamine]

i might've just fucked myself, folks.

there's this really sweet and lovely little kitty who belongs to the neighbors but really she's like everybody's cat, 'cause she's extremely friendly and social and greets everyone she sees. she comes by our house so often that it's like our porch is her second porch.

tonight I was on the porch and she was sat on the stairs and she looked up at me with her big ol' yellow orbs and went like "mrrp mrrp!" and I was like "nooo... I can't - I'm sorry I'm allergic to you, friend" but then she rubbed up against my legs and curled her tail around one of my boots and I was like "OUGHGHHH!! 💕" because she is literally just a little baby™ (adult cat)

and I just HAD to pet her. I couldn't keep refusing her she's so fucking sweet I didn't have it in me to reject her affection anymore :((( and so I pet her, I went inside, and I immediately washed my hands like three times in a row. but now my nose is all runny, I'm all sneezy, and my eyes are even more fucking watery than before .

but it was worth it tbh she was very very soft. and she leaned into my hand and closed her eyes and i got to see her little toof poke out

[the-catmans-offical-2]

I think about this scene a lot. Genuinely.

[sanders-sides-uncorrect-quotes]

Headcanon:

Janus, Virgil and Remus are all super cold all the time (Jan is a snake, Rem is corpse-like also hc Roman stole all the warmth in the split, and I just get ice-cold hands vibes from Virge)

I personally like the idea that the orange side is Wrath, and anger is often associated with fire, burning hot rage, etc

So what if the Orange side/Wrath is the only dark side who runs hot and the other 3 curl around him when they're feeling especially chilly

[festus-eats-tabasco]

look I’m seeing a lot of discourse around wrath of the triple goddess and how it treats Percy’s intelligence and yall listen to me. listen to me. it’s not about Percy being stupid (because he isn’t, which we see in the book). it’s about him doubting himself.

Percy’s doubted himself since the beginning of the series, and that’s not just gonna go away. ESPECIALLY when he’s applying to college!! those recommendations and personal statements and gpa transcripts are literally a tangible representation of his worth to an academic institution, and you think he’s not going to be insecure about that? if we look at the book, Percy is explicitly doubting his academic abilities, and encouraged to do so by others:

But Percy IS smart! He has loads of good ideas in wottg. He’s just constantly putting himself down because others have been putting him down too. He’s viewed himself as difficult and a burden on others for a really long time:

and he still has a hard time seeing himself as smart! Even when he has those good ideas, he puts himself down again and again:

His negative perception of himself is taken on by others (even Annabeth and Grover, occasionally), and even though they mean it in a joking way because they think that’s how Percy means it, those negative comments really affect him:

But, if we look at the full context around those interactions, Annabeth and Grover are making jokes to lighten the mood. They don’t mean it. And when Percy does show that he’s upset and he’s doubting himself, they reassure him and tell him that he is smart:

Percy isn’t stupid, but he IS an unreliable narrator. We constantly make jokes about how Percy’s self-perception doesn’t line up with how other people see him. I think that his self-negativity is so potent in wottg because he’s putting so much pressure on himself to get into college—and especially to be as smart as Annabeth. Rick is setting up themes of inadequacy, feeling left behind (as we saw in Grover’s arc), and questioning yourself, which I have a feeling will be delved into and resolved in the next book.

The theme, as Percy says in his English class, is free will versus fate—his free will (and whether he even WANTS to go to college at all) versus fate, aka the societal assumption that every teenager his age will go to college, whether it’s meant for them or not. I wouldn’t be surprised if the series ended with Percy realising he doesn’t enjoy schoolwork or the way academic institutions make him feel about himself, and accepting that as perfectly valid.

And as a reminder: smart and academically gifted are not the same thing. Percy doesn’t have to love school to be considered a smart character.
