Rebirth: I am confident, I am resilient and I am enough

The third and final image in the series: rebirth. This image provides the light that streams from the right in the first image, cutting through the darkness without losing its intensity. Unlike the previous two images, it is notably bright, framed in white with a matching white mat. To the left there is a white-framed mirror reflecting the mask and wig that feature throughout the series. Now…

It’s just hits differently to watch Yellowjackets having watched Heavenly Creatures, since Jackie and Shauna are almost definitely an ode to Juliet and Pauline. If in Heavenly Creatures, seventeen-year-old Melanie Lynskey plays a young girl who formed an obsessive, violent, homoerotic bond growing up, a relationship labelled immature at best, condemnable at worst, at forty she plays the aftermath of such a terrible, ruinous bond that lives on past adulthood, past death. If Heavenly Creatures is the question, Yellowjackets is the answer.

its sooooo fun to me that all of gojo's little 'leave it to me!' solutions also suck. yuji won't die immediately, but he'll just die later, after being exploited to the utmost by gojo. yuta won't be killed, he'll just be beholden to the 'higher ups' for the rest of his, presumably short, life, caught between what they can make him do and what gojo will stand in the way of. megumi won't be taken in by the zenin, he just has to work as a sorcerer as collateral to support himself and his comatose sister (under gojo's watchful eye of course). isn't gojo such a good teacher?

anyways it’s funny that i say i prefer stories that work with themes on a bigger scale meanwhile my favorite piece of fiction in the entire world is nana by ai yazawa, which is so deeply embedded in its characters perspectives that it almost becomes apolitical. like i don’t know if ai yazawa fully realizes that nana k is a csa victim or that ren manipulates nana o with sex or that shin & reira’s relationship is unhealthy. she might or she might not.. it doesn’t matter what she thinks because she’s just fully uninterested in passing judgement on these things, instead focusing on portraying them and the characters’ experiences extremely authentically & leaving the viewer to interpret what it is and what it means. which counterintuitively makes them more compelling to me (the themes enjoyer…) only because she’s so fucking good at doing that. truly i have seen some very well-written characters but i have never seen anything like the characters in nana……..

OH THAT ABSOLUTE PRICK

[leafatlaw]

god sorry im looking through the tag and- fuck. The main time, when Kian is visibility queer is when he is a monster. He only makes those innuendos when hes not human, when hes something more than human. When he is something trying to pretend to be Kian Stone, why does he flirt with his friends ? The most honest version of him is when he is inhuman.

Categorical Consciousness: Imaginaries and Experience

What? Well, I was just thinking about how people deal with habits and addictions when either may have both pleasurable and self-destructive consequences. Some folks may be victims of another’s categorization, especially if it causes them to be ‘disappeared.’ Of course, categorization is a linguistic mechanization that is closely involved when dehumanization Occurs. Categorization itself…

Daenerys’s rise to power is inseparable from the setting in which it unfolds. Unlike the female pov characters in Westeros, who remain trapped within rigid societal structures, a portion of Dany’s storyline exists largely outside of what is considered the “civilized” world. This separation is not incidental—it is fundamental to her ability to seize power in a way no other woman in asoiaf can.

Like the noblewomen of Westeros, Dany is sold into marriage, her body used as currency to further her house’s (her patriarch’s) ambitions. But while Westerosi arranged marriages are framed as political alliances, the underlying reality remains the same: women are commodities, their fates dictated by the men who claim authority over them. What sets Dany apart is not simply the brutality of her circumstances—being sold as a bridal slave to a foreign Dothraki warlord whose language and customs are alien to her—but also the opportunities those circumstances create. In Westeros, a woman’s best hope for power is to influence the men around her or exercise power in the name of the men she is connected to, but even the most politically savvy women remain constrained by a system that does not recognize their autonomy. Dany too has to initially wield power through her husband as Dothraki society is also patriarchal, but once he (and her unborn son) dies, she finds herself in a space where she is no longer beholden to any man and rejects the last institution that would otherwise confine her.

The decentralized nature of Dothraki society gave Dany an opening to refuse to join the Dosh Khaleen. Custom dictated that she should have done so, but there is no true institution enforcing this tradition, likely because it’s normally a self-enforcing one. More importantly, the powerful remnants of Khal Drogo’s khalasar were clearly not expected to enforce their own traditions, so they did not do so. Dany was not useful to them, and there was likely no benefit in sending her to Vaes Dothrak when they needed to focus on forming their new khalasars. Dany turned that perceived uselessness into an advantage. By stepping outside the last constraints placed upon her, and by the nature of her setting, she created the conditions necessary for her dragons to be hatched safely. Believed to be useless by Khal Drogo’s ko’s, they split the khalasar and rode away, leaving her in a perfect position as they took with them anyone powerful or greedy enough to challenge her for her dragons long before she even stepped into the pyre to hatch them.

So, upon Khal Drogo’s ashes, she hatched her dragons, and in doing so, she reclaimed motherhood from its patriarchal definition—not as a role that serves the interests of men, but as a source of her own power.

Her story makes it clear that working within an oppressive system to gain power is often futile. This parallels how our female Westerosi povs who attempt to gain power by playing the game remain trapped by its rules. No matter how skillfully they navigate it, the system itself is built to ensure their subjugation. Dany has succeeded not because she played better, but because she refused to play at all. She burnt the board, then removed herself from civilization—from its structures and trappings—by crossing through the Red Waste to protect herself and to safeguard her dragon hatchlings. Because of this, she is later able to reenter society as a force of disruption in her world. It’s important to note that it was Dany herself who chose to reenter society—annd later decided to use her dragons not just to empower herself, but to liberate others as well.

The message asoiaf presents through Dany is quite clear: true liberation is impossible within a system designed to oppress. Hatching her dragons on the Dothraki Sea, far away from the “civilized” world, was the perfect setting for her liberation—both practically and symbolically.

The burden of leadership in Yellowjackets

There is such an interesting burden that each of the Yellowjackets leaders (Jackie, Lottie, Nat, and now Shauna) have had to carry of being the group’s scapegoat; the embodiment of the group’s darkness and therefore the one demonized to absolve the rest of their sins. Each have served as a symbol of the state of the group at a given time, a physical manifestation of their deepest needs and urges.

Jackie was a symbol of society, representing the team’s pre-crash identities and last shreds of civilization they clung to in the wilderness. Before the crash, she was revered and worshipped, but as the group’s desperation began to increase and their needs began to shift to something more primal, Jackie became a living reminder of the life they left behind and the societal constraints they were just starting to shed. Her resistance to change and insistence on old social norms made her an easy scapegoat for the group’s early struggles to adapt. The traits that once garnered admiration from the group (Jackie’s composure, her traditional femininity, her social confidence) became liabilities in the wilderness. What once made her a leader now made her a threat, a mirror reflecting who they used to be and how far they were falling. Therefore, Jackie was the first to be cast out; a symbol they could sacrifice to avoid confronting the shame of their own loss of innocence and moral decay.

Lottie was a symbol of faith and spirituality in a time of desperation for the group. As starvation and fear took hold, the team turned to something larger than themselves for meaning; something to explain the inexplicable and justify the unthinkable. But as the group’s belief in her grew, so did their dependence on her. Their belief in her as a prophet gradually evolved into worship of her as a divine figure in her own right. They made a teenage girl into a god. She became the scapegoat for the horrors they committed in her name. When the faith they had placed in her didn’t offer the salvation they hoped for and she inevitably broke under the weight of their expectations, they dismissed her as “crazy” and cast her out again. Even after the crash, the narrative persists that Lottie made them do those terrible things, when in truth, they molded Lottie into the figurehead they needed to justify the things they were already willing to do.

Natalie became a symbol of pragmatism and conscience, a reflection of the group’s desire to return to order after the chaos of winter. Like Jackie before her, she tried to reestablish some sense of society, grounding her leadership in fairness, logic, and restraint. She didn’t ask for power, but she stepped into it because the group needed someone to set limits, to draw a line between survival and savagery. In many ways, she embodied the group’s collective remorse; their quiet longing to repent for Jackie and Javi’s deaths and to take the necessary steps to prevent that kind of darkness from ever surfacing in them again. But following Natalie meant confronting what they had done, and few were ready for that. Coach Ben’s return gave the group an easier target; someone to redirect their guilt and rage onto. Instead of reckoning with their own actions, they focused on punishing him for his perceived betrayal. Natalie’s calls for reason and restraint began to feel like judgment, and her moral clarity became alienating. Therefore, she was ridiculed and cast down when the group’s remorse and attempts at recreating civilization were overpowered by their own primal urges.

Shauna is a symbol of the group's brutality and rage. Her turn as leader has come at the peak of the group’s suppressed grief, anger, and loss of control. The group needed someone to act out their darkest impulses, and Shauna became that person. She was made the butcher (literally and symbolically), tasked with executing the physical horrors the others could not. The group unthinkingly offers her up to execute Nat after the card draw and elect her to butcher Javi’s body. By pushing her into that role, they created a vessel for their own savagery, then blamed her for it. And by continuing to blame her, they can go on pretending they had no choice, that the darkness lives in her, not in them.

I keep coming back to Van’s line about Lottie in Season 2: “She’s like this because of us.” The survivors may try to distance themselves from their leaders’ choices, they may point fingers, assign blame, but the truth is, Jackie, Lottie, Nat, and Shauna became exactly what the group needed them to be. They needed Jackie’s normalcy, Lottie’s faith, Natalie’s pragmatism and remorse, and eventually, Shauna’s rage and capacity for violence. The leaders didn’t act in a vacuum; they were shaped, elevated, and used by the group. And the others were just as complicit in everything that followed. Jackie, Lottie, Nat, and Shauna didn’t just carry carried the weight of their own sins, they carried the entire group’s. They were not simply leaders. They were vessels, absorbing the group’s collective fear, projection, and shifting morality. And in doing so, they became the easiest ones to sacrifice when the group needed someone to blame.

Someone on reddit in zerocovid asked today why people care about covid. We get these now and then. There was the usual kind explanations with personal examples, but in reading through the comments, I found out that OP is 13.

They just had their fourth covid infection and are reporting fatigue and brain fog.

I don't have the words for how heartwrenching this is.

There are some covid-conscious children and teens without supportive families, and often they are often so powerless to protect themselves fully due to financial constraints, familial control (sometimes abuse), and societal attitudes.

A generation of people will not know life without disability. Some of them even know better and still can't take the most effective precautions about it.

We need to find a way to do more for them. Actually find a way to Protect The Children.

Understanding The Left-Hand Path

The Left-Hand Path (LHP) in witchcraft and the broader occult tradition refers to a set of spiritual practices, philosophies, and paths that emphasize personal empowerment, self-deification, and the pursuit of individual freedom. The Left-Hand Path is often contrasted with the Right-Hand Path (RHP), which typically focuses on spiritual alignment with external moral or divine laws. Here are some key aspects of the Left-Hand Path in witchcraft:

• Self-empowerment: LHP practitioners typically focus on achieving personal power and mastery, often rejecting traditional religious or societal constraints. This includes embracing one's own desires, will, and inner strength.

• Individualism and Autonomy: The LHP emphasizes personal autonomy, with practitioners believing that they are their own authority and can shape their fate through willpower and self-determination.

• Rejection of Traditional Morality: LHP practitioners may reject conventional moral standards, particularly those imposed by mainstream religions like Christianity. They believe in creating their own ethical framework based on personal growth and enlightenment rather than obedience to external laws.

• Occult Knowledge and Rituals: The Left-Hand Path often involves the use of occult rituals, symbols, and magick to tap into unseen forces or realms. These practices might include working with deities or spirits that are considered "dark" or "unconventional" within mainstream religious contexts.

• Deification and Transcendence: A central aspect of the Left-Hand Path is the idea of self-deification—becoming one’s own god or embracing the divine within. This process often involves transcending the limitations of the material world and the ego.

• Exploration of Taboo or Forbidden Knowledge: LHP practitioners are often drawn to exploring areas considered taboo or forbidden by mainstream religions, such as the study of death, the afterlife, or working with spirits traditionally seen as "evil" or "chaotic."

• Darkness and Shadow Work: The LHP is sometimes associated with the "dark" side of spirituality, including shadow work, which involves confronting one's hidden, suppressed, or negative aspects to achieve greater self-awareness and healing.

While the Left-Hand Path is often misunderstood as "evil," it is more about personal transformation and embracing one's true self, free from societal or religious conditioning. Some well-known figures associated with the Left-Hand Path include Aleister Crowley, Michael W. Ford, and other occultists who focus on self-development and magickal practices.

It’s important to note that the Left-Hand Path can vary significantly in its specific practices and beliefs depending on the individual or tradition. Some practitioners might lean more toward spiritual enlightenment, while others focus on power dynamics and mastery over external forces.
