"Oh wow OP sounds like you weren't Their Good Jew™ enough to avoid experiencing antisemitism in antizionist spaces, I guess you'll change your mind about antizionism now!"

Actually this is so crazy, but my political activism isn't actually based on what will personally benefit me or if I'm rewarded for it, but is in fact a reflection of my moral compass and what I think is right. Way to tell on yourself that your political views and activism are 100% based on other people's approval and what you think will personally benefit you best, though! Couldn't be me.

I think that one of the reasons why people misinterpret Wylan's character and arc, among others, is because they misinterpret the relationship between him and Kaz. This post has kind of mitosised off from the BFWP (Big Fucking Wylan Post) I'm writing because it's a bit of a different focus and constitutes its own post.

A lot of people talk about Wylan's character and development as though it's meant to match Kaz's - starting out as a nice kid who the city forces to become amoral, indifferent to violence, and well-versed in crime. These qualities are usually talked about with a weird reverence as an irrefutable symbol of "badassery", as though it's always a positive development for any character regardless of the story's narrative, which annoys me but is not the topic of this post. That's part of the BFWP's job.

Following Kaz's exact development is not the point of Wylan's character. The point is that Kaz and Wylan narrative foils - very similar in many ways, but with a fundamental difference that creates the "broken mirror" effect/shows how they could have turned out if they'd chosen differently. I think that difference is how they respond when they climb out of the harbor after their respective betrayals. Narratively, Ketterdam represents a very harsh system that presents the people struggling there with very few options. You can either choose to ditch decency, play by the Barrel's rules, and live, or you can hold on to decency and die.

When Kaz returns to the streets after Jordie's death, he chooses the first option. He copes with what happened through ideas of revenge, and to survive long enough to see it he quickly turns to thievery and violence. He thinks to himself after he robs a kid for money and food that it was much easier to survive when you've left decency behind. He survived through violence, creating the Dirtyhands persona around himself for protection.

When Wylan has to fend for himself, he choses the second option. He finds "honest work" at the tannery, where they exploit workers and expose them to toxins. He wonders if he'll live long enough to use his savings to leave the city, or if the chemicals would kill him first. He was smart enough to steal and survive, but he chose decency, and with it, he chose death. There are a number of reasons why he chose differently than Kaz despite their similarities - his older age and thus more developed moral code, having no one to avenge but himself when he believed himself worthless, his more privileged upbringing, and his relatively low drive to live. Alone, he would have died.

Then Kaz steps in. Kaz's role in all the crow's lives is that, intentionally or not, his ruthless rule of the Barrel creates a sort of haven that allows them to survive where they would have died had they stayed alone. Wylan is a really clear example of this, and though Kaz's intentions were at least partly self-serving, his involvement both kept Wylan from dying of exposure or street violence as well as prevented him from needing to do the more terrible things that it takes to survive in the Barrel. Throughout the books, we see Kaz kind of taking the brunt of enacting violence in Wylan's place - traumatizing Smeet's daughter, killing the clerk on the lighthouse. Wylan could get by making explosives in the workshop rather than having to shoot or stab or beat the life out of people. And at the end of the series, Kaz sees to it that he never will have to. Of course Wylan did bad stuff to survive when working with the Dregs, it's the Barrel. But the extent is greatly lessened because of Kaz's involvement.

Wylan's arc was never about becoming comfortable with violence, or becoming just like Kaz - the way people characterize him as some sort of ruthless murder mastermind is inaccurate and redundant with Kaz's character. He isn't nonchalant or celebratory about crime or death or violence by the end of the book. He doesn't HAVE to become like Kaz, because Kaz himself gave him the space to continue being decent, intentionally or otherwise. Understanding that dynamic is important to understanding what Wylan is like as a character and as a person. If you assume Wylan's trajectory is to become "Kaz 2.0", then you're going to mischaracterize him. I've seen posts about how Kaz was the Jordie that he didn't have to Wylan, and I think that makes a lot more sense. Because Kaz is willing to do the horrible things in his stead, Wylan has the third option otherwise impossible in the Barrel - maintaining his decency and surviving.

Bf Satoru acting like a stranger and flirting with you when you guys meet each other somewhere in public coincidentally :000

PHDJDJJD OHHHH MY GOD …. anon…….. he’s so insufferable i can’t stand him 😭😭 /affectionate

HE RLLY WOULD. he would take the bit so seriously and you would just have to go along with it because if you don’t his flirting gets progressively worse. annoying little man.

but also… on that note ……… i feel like satoru is the type of bf to drag you into his roleplay theatrics all the time. especially when you’re in public. partially because he likes an audience, mostly because he thinks you’re cute when you’re embarrassed. imagine the two of you are standing in line for a crêpe stand or smth and he just goes ”let’s hurry home after this before your husband comes back 😇” like HUH. WHO. and you’re just mortified but he’s too committed to the bit to stop. i kind of hate him actually. awful awful man. /said lovingly…

Just imagining our dearest Reader being so hooked onto Sionis's cock. His most favorite plaything doesn't care where he do it with them or how he do it. Whichever holes of his choosing, and they can't have enough of him you know. The feel of him inside of them or the taste of him as he fucks them beyond stupid, and ruins them as they wish. So utterly addicted to this horrible, sick bastard and always wanting more and more. Even humping him like his own goddamned pet until he gives you what he wants. Always desperate to please him ...

While he parades them around in provocative dresses, and a tight choker with his name on it. Feeling them up in public, and having his way whenever. Just the Reader calls him Daddy, even in front of company and always rubbing that godawful fucking ego of his.

Fr, to be Romans' favourite little free-use plaything, not a thought in that pretty little head of yours that he didn't put there, so obedient and needy, desperate to please him if it means getting just a tiny taste of his cock, yes, please!

I've been thinking a lot about Janus Cosmetics CEO Roman. Specifically about him convincing you, his new assistant/soon-to-be plaything to wear a dress he’s picked out for you to the after-party of a big product launch. One of those sheer, sparkly diamanted dresses, a skimpy little skin-coloured thong, a matching JC necklace and a pair of heels. Nothing left to the imagination, and all night he's got his hand on you.

This is your first time at such a big social event after all. Assistant is just a stepping stone, you wanna make it in this industry, right? Who better to show you the ropes than Mr Sionis? Don't worry, he’ll make sure all the big shots know your name, and what a firecracker you are.

You're nervous? Don't be! Here have a drink? It’ll make you feel better, I swear. No? Maybe another will help.

Oh and the best part? Well, the paps just loved you and that gorgeous, one-of-a-kind dress. You’ll be all over the glossies tomorrow, doll. Bet your family is gonna be so proud!

I also had this idea that he would nickname you bunny affectionately, because you’d forgotten to take off your bunny-eared woolly hat at the beginning of your interview.

On your first day he gifts you one of those fuzzy keyrings that looks like a bunny tail, but before you can even touch it he clips it onto the belt loop at the back of your skirt/trousers. You think he's trying to be cute, and you don't want to upset your new boss so you keep it there. Clipping it as close as you can each day and forgetting about it.

When you first try on the dress you're all hesitatant, for obvious reasons but Roman reassures you; you're beautiful, don't worry, its not that revealing, and it’ll be dark. Do a spin for me? God, it would be a crime not to take you out in this thing.

But it is missing something. You've no idea what he means until you catch him fiddling with the clothes you'd switched out of.

“Oh, yeah. I don't think there's anywhere to put it.”

Nonsense! Before you even realise what he's doing he hooks his hand into the slit of the skirt, pulling it up to expose your ass and clipping your makeshift tail to your thong.

Now you're perfect.

i like overthink everything now it makes me feel so dumb. i used 2 be able to just talk 2 ppl but nowadays every single thing im like Is that actually going to make them hate me. Yes probably. and then i just dont respond which makes ppl hate me. this is how it is

I just learned you can report anons, so guess what just happened to the anon being intentionally transphobic to me? ( they got reported )

I don't ever post about any negativity sent my way because I always just block and go about my day, but this time, I noticed that you can infact report anons now.

So I'm just spreading awareness so all my followers know that you can, infact, possibly get someones account shadowbanned for them sending enough anon hate that gets reported.

I understand being degraded, insulted, and humiliatiled are all kinks I have and thoroughly enjoy but you need to ask someone in dms or anon if it's ok to call them certain things before you do so. I reported the anon because I don't want these behaviors being normalized against other fat trans folk despite me personally not being bothered by these insults.
