#Lasting Protection

[drawnfamiliarfaces]

PnF Spirit Week 1: May 26th - Parental Units

Heinz and Charlene may have their share of troubles as a divorced couple, but no one can deny that they are good parents to Vanessa. A little bit overprotective at times, but what can one do, when their precious only child had entered puberty a bit too early for their comfort.

Hey, Spitfire! Try not to kill your brother ahead of time!

Looking for Ursa right after being banished had some...wildly unexpected results. One: Zuko actually found her. Two: she wasn't alone. Three: leaving her children behind in order to protect them was, apparently, just something she did.

Looking at the bright side, Zuko now had a three-year-old younger brother to look after. Looking at the dark side, Zuko now had a three-year-old kid he needed to parent while also keeping him a secret from his father because—may Agni help him—the Fire Lord would have to go through Zuko first if he dared to even look at Lu Ten II.

(AKA an AU in which Zuko is a good big brother and doesn't want another kid to grow up like he did.)

I have had these thoughts bubbling away in my head for like...eighteen months or so now (it will become very obvious why shortly) but the discussion in this post has pushed me to write them down: I think societally we HUGELY underestimate how motherhood for primary caregivers, particularly first-time motherhood, can be a source of vulnerability to radicalisation.

There is obviously huge cultural variance here, but for a lot of cis women becoming primary caregiver to an infant in a capitalist Western society represents a time of immense vulnerability because in general you are:

Incredibly sleep-deprived (which has well-documented knock-on effects for your judgement, mental health, etc)

If you gave birth, recovering from a significant challenge to your physical health (even in the best-case scenario)

Isolated from your previous networks and communities of people in full-time work

Completely separated from the context of your prior career goals and achievements

Under huge amounts of stress to learn how to care for an infant (don't get me started on breastfeeding)

And on top of this, you are also be experiencing a huge amount of messaging about how all this is natural, wonderful, something you're meant to do, something you should love doing, and something that you must do for the welfare of their child. It's a huge amount of pressure and life change even when everything goes right and there's very little cultural space to express negative feelings about it.

Any group of people who offer community, support, and affirmation to cis women in this situation are going to have a really good shot at radicalising them into some very weird and dangerous headspaces and in fact we see this happen all the time - think antivaxxers and TERFs. It flies under the radar because of the hazy positive glow that associates with motherhood and babies and also because we don't take the radicalisation of women seriously I guess because they rarely shoot anybody, but...yeah. It is such a vulnerable time!

Can we please talk for a second about the fact that Agatha wasn't prepared for that moment at the fire with the other witches in any way? Like being nice and sharing stories?

You can see it how her look went through that whole round because she wasn't sure if Jen really meant it or not. And you can see she still felt kinda arkward when the others laugh about her joke. It's the way she looks through that whole round again after it. She's not a insecure person but this time? This totally got her off guard and you can clearly see it in her face when she observes the reaction from each of them.

Because she wasn't used to it. People hate her and this is probably the first time ever that someone else beside Rio really listens to her and is interested in what she says.

As transgender people continue to suffer and records are being erased in the US' fascist administration, remind yourself and others of this:

Trans people have existed as long as civilization has. Trans people have always been the largest advocates and fighters for human rights. Trans people have touched all the art, music, and cultures that bring color to our lives. And of course- trans people (mostly trans women of color) were at the frontlines at Stonewall, and they are the reason we have come so far with queer rights. If you can't recognize the intersection between trans rights and human rights as a whole, then you stand for nothing.

It's LGBT with a hard capital T, fuck anyone that tries to erase history.
