#ESP rape

[thisismisogynoir]

I love it when women hate men. I love it when women are allowed to vent to each other about how horrible and creepy men are. I love it when women form friendships with and prioritize each other over relationships with men(whether they're attracted to them or not). I love it when women put men dni in their bios and on their nude photos and on posts on their blogs. I love it when women refuse to mollycoddle and accommodate entitled male feelings with "but this doesn't mean I hate all men, I know a few men who are great, I love my father/sons/brothers/uncles/male cousins/guy friends" I love it when women complain about men WITHOUT "not all men" being a disclaimer. I love it when women avoid socializing with/refuse to be around/befriend/get close to men because they know men can't be trusted. I love it when women make "kill all men" jokes. I love it when women offer absolutely no concern or care for men's feelings and if their misandry offends men whatsoever because why should we, men are the oppressor class who have raped and killed and abused us and kept us as subjugated as second-class citizens for millennia, they regularly mistreat us and the women in their own marginalized communities still every single day and make this world so much harder and more awful for us to be in, and if we choose to hate them and not spare them any sympathy then so be it, and I don't just mean "men as a class" either, you can be a woman who doesn't want to have anything to do with any man on an individual basis and completely cuts off men from her personal life too and ykw I will love and fucking support you in that because men deserve absolutely NOTHING from us. If they're so tough and strong then they can handle it just like they can handle being lonely. If you are a woman who hates men, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE A LESBIAN AND/OR A TRANS WOMAN, then just know that I love you. I love you, I support you, and you are safe here.

For the ask game

How do think talia would react to seeing her father loose to dick in sword fight, since I discovered this I can't stop think about how others would react

for the ask game!

this was such a fun moment in the comics for Dick's development and thinking about how other characters would react to it is so fun

so the context of Dick beating Ra's is proving himself as Bruce's heir, since Bruce just died and Dick's Nightwing run is coming to an end to make him Batman. also interestingly, is that Ra's called Dick 'Detective' during this moment, as a sign of respect. so Talia is not only reacting to Dick beating Ra's, but also Ra's extending his respect to Dick as Bruce's replacement. so like everyone else, Talia is coping with the loss of Bruce. and like everyone else, she's apprehensive at best of the idea of Dick replacing him. they're impossible shoes to fill, and she's not exactly known for liking Dick in the first place. it's a difficult, messy time for everyone.

i don't think she'd believe it, at first. there are plenty of rumors and fights always get dramatized when they're retold. so until she hears it from Ra's himself, hears the respect in his voice when he talks about Dick, that's when she finally accepts it. and well. her feelings are complicated. because her feelings about her father are complicated, but at the very least she knows he's a formidable opponent and not many people alive can beat him, especially in a sword fight. and Dick isn't even *known* as a sword fighter, it's not his specialty. so shock would be the first real reaction, from Talia. Dick and Talia do *not* have a history of liking each other, they've always been at odds whenever they're forced to be around each other. they can work with each other for a common goal, like saving Damian or Bruce, but otherwise, they just don't get along and she's not one for extending and compliments toward him. and it was easy to dismiss him as nothing more than a sidekick when he was Robin, but now he's clearly Bruce's equal, able to beat Ra's and becoming Batman. it forces her to re-evaluate her view of Dick.

i think one of the biggest changes would be her being more willing to leave Damian in Dick's care. Damian is her son, and she loves him more than anything, so it's a lot of trust for her to just leave him with Dick. (i know she has issues with it in Batman & Robin (2009) and does all sorts of nonsense but we do not acknowledge Morrison's Talia in this house i refuse ty) so it'd make her slightly more secure to know Dick is capable of defending himself and raising Damian, since he can clearly beat Ra's in a fight. it at the very least means he has something meaningful to teach Damian and will make a good mentor, even if Talia's still not too sure about trusting Dick as family to Damian. she can respect him as a teacher.

eventually, i do think she'd still check up on Dick. she'd have to see this for herself and she would just. try to fight him solely to see what he's capable of. which Dick would be. annoyed by because he's really got bigger things going on than a test from Damian's mom to see if he's fit to raise Damian. but for Talia, it's not just about Damian. it's also about Bruce. this is her beloved's mantle that Dick is wearing, and she's not just going to take Ra's' word for it that Dick is worth this mantle. Dick tries to blow her off, but Talia is absolutely insistent on the fight, threatening to take Damian from Dick, which actually gets a real reaction out of Dick.

it'd be a close fight, but Dick would eventually come out on top. and when Dick finally beats Talia, she has to face a lot of feelings at once. she has to face her grief, that Bruce is really gone. she has to face the annoying reality that this kid she's never liked his finally surpassed her and is actually worth being Bruce's successor. and she has to face that Damian loves and respects Dick as his family. she doesn't take it well, at first. she blows Dick off and struggles with the reality of it all. but once she's sat with her feelings, similar to Ra's, she would come to a grudging respect for Dick. and even like him a little bit, holding him a high regard for being able to take care of her son and shape him into a good man, and to be able to take down Ra's. it's a hard balancing act for anyone to manage. i think she'd keep some level of contact with Dick, annoying him regularly just to check in and make sure he and Damian are doing okay. it ends up healing their relationship in a way, because she's finally able to view Dick as an equal.

The fact that Hughie was SA’d not once, but TWICE this season…..

hello :) i haven't delved too much into manga; i tend to only read the stuff that's getting traction and is recommended to me by friends/mutuals, like dunmeshi. my favorite part of that manga were the occasional horror elements/panels, but they were barely-there and I've found myself craving a story that plays in that space a lot more. i was wondering if you had any recommendations? they don't have to be straight up-and-down horror (for instance i really liked Hell's Paradise and that was mostly action, but with a lot of body horror imagery i really loved)

hello again! :D i haven't read Hell's Paradise or seen anything from it, so unfortunately cannot comment on that. I'm assuming the scenes you liked from Dunmesh are the ones with the demons, like the apparition of the goat that eats Mithrun, with the heavy uncomfortable imagery. NGL, I haven't read much horror manga myself, so I might not be the right person for this, I invite my followers to leave any recs in the tags, especially if you know both references cited in the ask!

This being said, of stuff I've read...

If you liked the fun character writing and dark-but-wholesome vibes of Dunmesh, I can't recommend Dorohedoro enough. It's a bit of a strange rec for horror, I wouldn't consider it such as it has very little in the lines of chills, but it features a lot of examples of extreme body horror and gore in general. I'm not squeamish but some stuff was enough to disgust me, haha. For something that's on the action side with some horror aspect, I personally really dug the first part (still haven't read the second) of Chainsaw Man. I know that its fandom has a bad reputation, but I would ignore them, the manga has a lot of cool stuff and did actually give me chills at times, because of some extremely cool designs and on the other hand, some very, very uncomfortable moments pushed far. For a slow burn with some pretty damn cool visuals, I'll recommend Gogo Monster, again not classified as horror per se but I found my first read of it to be chilling, my second read being more...a mix of upsetting and sad. Its author is a master at blurring the lines between what's real and what isn't and representing that visually in a way I've rarely seen executed so well. Immersive and unique.

As for stuff I haven't read but I've seen around, Junji Ito is probably your most famous horror manga author around! He's done lots of stuff, I've been recommended Uzumaki a lot. I've also seen some really scary stuff coming from a series called PTSD Radio.

some highlights from 3 October's entry:

Top left: "With his left hand he held both Mrs. Harker's hands, keeping them away with her arms at full tension; his right hand gripped her by the back of the neck, forcing her face down on his bosom. Her white nightdress was smeared with blood, and a thin stream trickled down the man's bare breast which was shown by his torn-open dress."

Top right: "Her face was ghastly, with a pallor which was accentuated by the blood which smeared her lips and cheeks and chin; from her throat trickled a thin stream of blood; her eyes were mad with terror. Then she put before her face her poor crushed hands... and from behind them came a low desolate wail".

Bottom left: "She shuddered and was silent, holding down her head on her husband's breast. When she raised it, his white night-robe was stained with blood where her lips had touched, and where the thin open wound in her neck had sent forth drops."

and

"Harker was still and quiet; but over his face, as the awful narrative went on, came a grey look which deepened and deepened in the morning light, till when the first red streak of the coming dawn shot up, the flesh stood darkly out against the whitening hair."

Bottom right: ""Hush! there is someone in the corridor!" I got up softly, and crossing the room, gently opened the door.

Just outside, stretched on a mattress, lay Mr. Morris, wide awake."

finally watched alice in borderland & i think it’s very fucking sick and twisted that they cast sakurada dori as niragi. like the character is pure evil and he is great in the role, he plays it super sleazy and disgusting and irredeemable from beginning to end. but he is so handsome and attractive to look at it confuses my brain like wires are getting crossed somewhere in there and i don’t like it

re: prev post, the primarly relationship in teleny (1893) is the protag and this pianist, rene teleny, and they meet after teleny's concert where he and protag shared an erotic historical hallucination bc they Literally have some kind of psychosexual mind meld thing going on and ANYWAY.

i think abt teleny's ch1 'perhaps' scene all the time

I just watched 'I Spit on Your Grave' for the very first time, and for all that the experience was really heartbreaking and uncomfortable, there's something so poignant about Jennifer taping the pages of her writing back together. Like repairing it is in some small way repairing a bit of herself.

honestly one of the most annoying things with the whole "media literacy discourse" (if you want to coin a name for it) is how the discussion is reduced to the characters and the viewers as if the characters were sentient in some fucking way which is the most media illiterate thing ever because sometimes you just gotta acknowledge the writer is shit. We act like authors have no involvement in their creations for some reason like sure depiction isnt glorification but you NEED to be able to realize when an author is just pushing their beliefs thru a character or not treating said thing with the respect it deserves. Art is intentionally or not a mirror to the author and we need to be critical of that too. Hell, even if its not meant to be glorifying or whatever the author's ability to get the point across should be taken into account too. And this doesnt just expand to fiction even in posts where people complain about pissing on the poor, have you stopped to think "hey, maybe i am simply not expressing myself correctly"? Like the speaker is as responsible as the listener in every situation, this is a two way road.

weird how i keep seeing new urls with the transmisogynistic t slur in them lately and whenever i check it's usually a trans guy whose blog is full of misogynistic and especially transmisogynistic vitriol.

don't like that.

i love watching law and order svu but sometimes the dialogue is so… objectifying 😭😭 for a unit that’s supposed to ‘protect’ women you sure have a lot to say about them
