[ID: 8 sketches of scenes from The Murderbot Diaries where Murderbot expresses discomfort with being touched.

In the first, Done Abene takes a hold of Miki's shoulder. Murderbot, who is watching through Miki's eyes, falls off its perch and shouts "OH FUCK don't grab me".

In the second, Murderbot is standing awkwardly worried next to Mensah, just after she has been harassed by a journalist in the short story Home. It says, "You can hug me if you need to." Mensah replies "No, it's alright. I know it makes you uncomfortable" and Murderbot's face softens as it smiles.

In the third, Maro is hugging herself while looking at Murderbot and says "This is for you."

In the fourth, Murderbot thinks to itself while standing next to Mensah "If I kill this human... Mensah won't trust me anymore. She will not stand near enough to touch (without touching, ew).

In the fifth, Arada gazes up at Murderbot with a wobbly smile while Murderbot says "No hugging. It's in my contract. Do you need me to call someone for emotional support."

In the sixth, Murderbot holds a human up by the scruff of their uniform work jacket and says "Do not touch Security Consultant Rin."

In the seventh, Ratthi asks from offscreen "Do you have a relationship with this bot?" At Murderbot's disgruntled face, he says "Not like that."

In the eighth, Murderbot frowns sternly at Ratthi. Ratthi says "It was a sexual discussion." Murderbot instantly leaves, leaving behind a blank dotted outline while it hovers at pace away down the hall. End ID.]

“Feyre is an unreliable narrator and constantly twists things to make herself seem more favorable or right in situations”

Insane thing to say when she constantly has self-deprecating thoughts and has no issue acknowledging when she’s wrong in a situation. She acknowledges that she was wrong for pushing Nesta to tell her story to the High Lords, she acknowledges that she should have been more mindful when it came to Elain’s trauma and the blame shouldn’t all be on Nesta, and she acknowledges that she was a bit of an asshole to Lucien on solstice.

She even takes fault for things that were completely out of her control so again…how is she twisting the narrative to make herself seem always right when she doesn’t even believe she’s always right?

If you think that the problem with Valentino is that he's producing and selling porn, then you're missing the point

The point is that he's abusive and sexually exploitative, this would be equally bad no matter what position of power he was in

What makes the porn situation uniquely bad is that his victims are both vulnerable and stigmatized for being sex workers

the perceived immorality of porn is another weapon that can be used against people like Angel Dust

And it's both telling and disturbing how many fans of this show seem to take the idea that both sex work and drug use are inherently evil at face value

Which is a belief that is both extremely puritan and victim blaming

“Studies of Elizabeth Woodville […] have been hampered by the continuing fascination with her brother-in-law, Richard III. The Ricardian [and Yorkist] apologetic is now largely dependent upon the argument that the Woodville family posed such a threat to Richard of Gloucester, and the kingdom as a whole, that Gloucester had little option but to take the throne from his Woodville-dominated nephew. Although this argument has [irregularly] been contested, a reassessment of the queen's role in 1483 has not yet been attempted. Michael Bennett, in his 1987 account [...] still dismissed her as `an inveterate intriguer, capable in her vanity and fecklessness of some remarkable shifts and turns'. But more often she is scarcely mentioned in general histories of the period.”

-J.L. Laynesmith, “English Queenship 1445-1503” (thesis for the degree of DPhil in Medieval Studies, University of York, Centre for Medieval Studies, April 1999)

In discussions about mental health, I am so tired of the only voices mattering being other people or other people who do not deal with a condition/disorder or a specific situation.

"Here's how I deal with loved ones with [x] condition!"

"If you do [y] because of [x mental health reason], you're selfish and everybody who loves you is having their lives made harder by you!"

"If your symptoms are [z], you're gross, and you deserve no sympathy for struggling"

I understand to an extent why people do this, but holy hell, as somebody who struggles and struggles often, the last thing any of us need to be told is that we're a burden that others have to carry. And it's terrible how everybody else's feelings but ours matter - even if we are the ones most affected by our condition or situation.

If you are dealing with issues surrounding your mental health and well-being, know that everything above isn't true; you are worthy of patience, understanding, kindness, and love. You are worthy of being listened to without judgment. You don't have to apologize or "make up" for who you are or what you struggle with.

Just thinking about Alucard keeping tabs on how Anderson's holding up. And Alucard pausing to see if Anderson's still alright...

...and Anderson telling him to "shut the hell up".

He can't focus if Alucard's praising him nonstop, and keeps pausing their duel to ask about things like his "wellbeing".

Additionally thinking about the fact Alucard does shut up

He has the "some man" thoughts, but doesn't actually speak until his ghouls/familiars have been defeated
