#go where i have not!

[zazzander]

Hello! you can call me sei. And i really love your post's! And just recently i've been posting your Post's on reddit, and don't worry i credited you. but today i posted your post on how you believe Octavian is Autism coded, and i've got a little hate, many people disagree with me and some are calling it Ableism. Here are some of the comment's: @ Striking_Landscape72:

As Benoit Blanc would say, sometimes an onion is just an onion.

I understand liking the villain, there are some villains I really like too. But, honestly, is a bit offensive to see this fandom trying to use autism or transexuality in a attempt to make Octavian look good. And, in the process, end up throwing a bunch of ableist trash around.

Social Cues and Facial Expressions

He seems off even when he's being honest, perhaps because he isn't being honest? It's pretty clear he backstabbed Gwen, so off course he isn't showing the correct facial expression, he doesn't really care or feel sympathy for Gwen.

Special Interest

This right here is just ableist. Neurotipic people can have interests without being signs of neurodivergence.

Masking

This is just, so what? This is just the cracks in his manipulations, not any sign of autism.

Caring about fairness

And yet Octavian is using or supporting nepothism all the time. He's willing to put a murder back at the legion as long as he has his family support. Heck, he's throwing his name and his influence all the time, like when he blackmails Hazel to win votes. Was that fair? He was only complaining about Percy because he wanted that position for him.

Coping Mechanisms

Spending time alone doesn't means autism. This is just more self diagnose.

The Teddy Bears

Percy was caring a teddy bear and he wasn't mocked by the book. He's actually quiet upset when Octavian murders his support pillow animal.

Octavian’s Empathy

He does not. He simply doesn't.

Emotional Regulation

Neurotipic people get stressed all the time, this doesn't mean autism. He was ahving an emotional breakdown because his plans went sour. If having a third act breakdown meant autism pratically all villains in fictions would be autistic.

And it just angered me that..people still hate octavian, even with all the proof of smth. how would you respond?

Hi thanks for reaching out.

I don't post things on Reddit for a reason 😅 They all hate Octavian and aren't usually interested in seeing a different pov.

I'd recommend, and prefer tbh, you simply summarise my stuff (with credit) and add your own arguments / comment. That way, if you'd like, you can respond to the comments.

I personally won't, as people have their opinions and changing their minds isn't my goal. I just wanted to break apart my blorbo and look at all his pieces.

Have a great day sei!

the difference between Haymitch and Katniss's narration is so funny. Haymitch would give us everyone's social security number if he knew them, while Katniss wouldn't even tell us her mom's name.

Edit: I have not seen Nosferatu, and the comments assuming that's what this post is about are getting fucking obnoxious. As are many of the additions very rudely pointing out the fact that the actual range is *slightly* bigger and includes parts of Europe, so they could potentially be in the setting of the film I haven't seen and wasn't talking about. And talking as if I'm somehow to blame for someone else's map being incomplete on a meme I made in a few minutes that ended up getting tons more notes than usual. You can correct people while being polite about it.

This post is about Poirot. Quite a few episodes set in various locations, but especially Death on the Nile because that's the one I've watched most recently, and no matter whose map you look at there are no loons in Egypt.

Edit #2: There, I updated the map, are you assholes happy now? Still no loons in Egypt, nor anywhere near the city of Brussels. I will concede that there are some in the UK that I did not know about, but you probably wouldn't hear them in a city, and in any case the point still stands that TONS of productions use loon sounds no matter where they're set. Look at the map in this Vox video that someone linked in the comments of this post. They're all over the place!

Settings on every continent except Antarctica, and that's just the instances this one person found!

Perhaps it would be more accurate for me to say this post was inspired by Poirot but is about lots and lots of different movies and shows, because if I'd only ever heard one stray loon sound in one film then I wouldn't have made it.

Also, I shouldn't think it needs to be said, but I am not doing a serious media criticism here - just poking a bit of fun.

the tradwife movement is the same as it has always been - back in the kitchen, back to breeding - it just has better branding.

when i was younger, i hated pink. i was not like other girls. this is now something i'm embarrassed of - this was not me being a "girl's girl."

but it was expressing something many of us felt at the time: i literally wasn't what girlhood was supposed to be. this is a hard thing to explain, but you know when you're not performing girlhood correctly. it isn't as easy as "i liked x when girls liked y" - because there were other girls that liked x, too - but i never figured out exactly the correct way to like x, or to be interested in y.

now there is the divine feminine. this is the same rhetoric it has always been: women are biologically driven to like pink and ribbons and submitting to our husbands.

the problem is that the patriarchy found a better PR team. because yes, actually, i want every woman to have the choice to be a homemaker. i also want her taken seriously for her legitimate home-making labor. i want her to be recognized as also having a job, just unpaid. i want men to have this opportunity, too.

but it is no longer "i made this choice and I love it." instead it is a sixteen-paragraph rant about how selfish it is that my generation isn't having kids. instead it's long videos about how if you feed your children processed foods, you're going to kill them. instead it is "this is what womanhood is supposed to be. i feel bad for any other choices you're making."

the shame spiral is just prettier. it is large houses devoid of personality. it is the implication: if you don't have this, you aren't happy. the solid, everlasting assurance: women are actually supposed to be submitting. this is the default. this is the natural state of things. all other attempts inflict suffering.

but you can no longer say i'm not like other girls. you can no longer reject this image completely. you cannot find it revolting, even if you know that the underbelly is toxic and festering. sure, it is the same repackaged patriarchy. but the internet does not have shades of grey. you should support and reward other women! your disgust is actually internalized misogyny. not because you are seeing a vision of yourself the way they're trying to train you to be. not because you feel her ghost pass within an inch of your earlobe. not because your father will eventually ask you - why can't you be like her?

because they figured out how to make it beautiful: women will sell other women on this idea, and we will find the singular loophole in feminism. sure, she's shaming you in most of her videos. sure, she implies that a different life is obscene. but she just wants you to be happy! you'd be happier if you were listening!

and the whole time you're sitting there thinking: i'd actually just be happier if i had that kind of money.
