buffy has victim blaming levels of contrived porn brain about faith. faith laughs so her tits move cos she's wheezing and buffy thinks to herself "god she's such a slut of course she's flaunting her tits like that she WANTS someone to hold her down and fuck her so hard they bounce" and she doesn't even CONSIDER that this is a homosexual thought to have

👆 truest shit anyones ever said

feels like lately i’m seeing more posts on here like “xyz character is gay, and the writers had no idea!” or “xyz show had a perfect portrayal of this topic, and the writers did it completely on accident!”and it irritates me in part because these people are making assumptions that may or may not be true, but also because it carries an attitude of superiority and arrogance that i find distasteful. i am all for championing the value of the audience’s interpretations of a text, including when those interpretations clash with the intended authorial message, but i think it can be dangerous to assume you know more about the author’s intentions than you do. making those assumptions can limit your ability to find meaning in the text, because you believe it must all be accidental. and ultimately i feel like what matters is the story and what you take from it, regardless of the author’s intent. so maybe this writer depicted a gay narrative completely on accident - but if the narrative is resonant and meaningful to you, does it really matter that it was on accident?

it is like. both fascinating and infuriating to me when people downplay Liam's overdose at the end of season four

1.) I don't expect to hold addicts 100% accountable for their behavior while on drugs i think there's some play in culpability. HOWEVER:

2.) I do think that people who completely write this off and excuse this for the benefit of Fiona are pretty racist or at least have the biggest racism blinders on BECAUSE

2a.) like point blank comparing this specific act of neglect to other acts of neglect (which were no doubt terrible and traumatizing) is one thing. acting like they are on the same level or that say, monica's neglect of Carl is somehow worse is literally just racism

2b.) The choice in drug, as my girlfriend pointed out for a white caregiver to expose a black toddler in her care to, is intentional. You are meant to think about the racial dynamic at play here in regards to conversations and behavior around drug use for the last fifty plus years. Liam is a fucking BABY and you still cannot muster pretend imaginary sympathy for him? How racist do you have to be to react to this arc in this way. Has it been over a month since you called a black drug user a cr*ckhead be honest

3.) Lip losing his shit on fiona while this was happening was not an example of him "perpetuating Frank's cycle of abuse omfg

3a.) I'm not going to say Lip's behavior towards Fiona while she was being incarcerated was completely justified of course but that was their little brother who they both love dearly who might die and Lip is justifiably freaking the fuck out. this is categorically not the same thing as an abusive father yelling in order to exercise control

3b.) Your baby brother does not have the power required to exercise an abusive dynamic over you. Of course he can replicate abusive behavior as anyone who was raised by an abusive parent or otherwise can. The line of thinking that Lip is "abusing" Fiona here shows an irresponsible and, in the wrong hands, entirely dangerous misunderstanding of how and when abusive dynamics come to be

3c.) that is not even Frank's brand of abuse. I can count on one hand the amount of times that Frank uses yelling as a tactic. The name of his game is manipulation and he usually exercises it by acting overly kind to the youngest gallaghers in order to get them to participate in his insane schemes. We see him doing this to Carl and Debbie and Liam and we even hear of him doing this to lip when he was younger. He only hits Ian once and we have reason to believe that is the only time he has hit one of his children. textually. He understands he can't control Lip Ian and Fiona by series start and as such he moslty leaves them alone and occasionally even pals around with them. We SEE him discard Debbie and Carl when they begin to question him and argue against his hair brained ethically heinous schemes

4.)the narrative is indeed asking you to engage with the theme of cycles of abuse being replicated by people who mean well. During this specific arc is asking you to do so with FIONA, not Lip, FIONA, who is liam's legal guardian who she is in this moment recklessly endangering. Even if you pretend the race thing isn't there (which is extremely difficult because its place in the narrative is, as I've pointed out, intentional) Fiona still allowed a baby to eat cocaine through her neglect. You are supposed to be thinking about this. You are supposed to be comparing i in your mind to Carl's childhood injuries and Frank using drugs as a sleep sedative for infants. At all times throughout the show you are meant to be examining how many steps away each character is from being "just as bad as frank"

I know fandom is specifically designed to stomp out critical analysis but omfg.

Things you should understand before you follow this blog:

1.)Sex work is just a job. it is as much selling your body as retail is

2.) I do not sanction or tolerate pro cop/pro military AND BY EXTREMELY OBVIOUS BUT BAFFLINGLY UNCOMMON EXTENSION pro prison rhetoric and if you think the solution for someone causing harm is to put them out of sight in a place where they can only harm other incarcerated people please leave this blog and do not come back until you have read both are prisons obsolete and the new jim crow

3.) Some gay people are more comfortable in the closet even around other gay people and if you cannot wrap your head around this you will not have a good time on this blog.

4.) There are plenty of nice and normal people on this website you can go and follow instead of me. I am a cranky bitchass commie with very little tolerance for milquetoast liberals that you discovered by unfortunate happenstance. there is still time to get out of here

5.) Every Character on the show is an asshole but none of them are irredeemable I don't believe in that. Also Fiona parallels Frank and Liam Parallels Debbie 👍

6.) my favorite character is sandy

7.) I'm not voting for a genociderrrrrrrrr
