#misogyny for ts

[wri0thesley]

apologies in advance. but. pantalone. dottore. 

(cw; dub-con, fem reader, arranged marriage, medical play, misogyny, virginity talk, breeding kink very vaguely)

as very much a figurehead of aspiration for the harbingers, the one responsible for snezhnaya’s burgeoning wealth and business, it’s only proper that he appear, outside of his work in the fatui, entirely respectable. it’s only proper that he take a spouse that he can appear with at expensive galas and elegant functions; and a man like him is simply too busy for doing things in the traditional way. 

ergo, an arranged marriage is the perfect solution. of course, he still has his pick of young snezhnayan eligible maidens; a respectable family, but not one that’s too respectable to be fawningly grateful for his favour. clever. pretty. a lovely pet who will be polite and obedient and look pretty in his gilded cage and allow themselves to be moulded into exactly what he desires of a wife. 

there’s an unfortunate traditionalist slant to how he sees all of this; he wants a sweet, naive young thing that’s never been touched before (of course not; he wants to do all of that himself. it’s far harder to break bad habits than it is to instil new good ones). so it’s only natural that, after you have been carefully picked out from the crowd, you are entrusted to the ‘doctor’ in order to verify that you’re . . . intact. 

now. you very clearly are; you look at dottore with big wide eyes like a doe and submit without a single complaint to every other examination he does. you’re pretty and soft-skinned and gentle and it’s very clear why pantalone picked you out of the crowd, but . . . dottore has always liked things that are mouldable, too. it’s intoxicating how you strip out of your (newly lavish and expensive, paid for by your betrothed) clothes in front of him and shyly try and cover yourself.

he’s all smiles. his bedside manner is a little overbearing, yes, and there’s a strange glint in his eye that you do not yet parse as hunger, but he’s a harbinger and you are being catapulted to the upper echelons of society, so you submit to him with a smile and a nervous stutter of ‘i-is this alright? is everything fine?’

you submit to his careful, thorough examination of your breasts; the pinch of his gloved fingers, the hot breath on the sensitive buds as he inspects. you submit to the way he lewdly spreads the lips of your sex apart. the click of his tongue as he coats his fingers in something cold and wet before he smears it all over your most intimate parts, making you shiver and your thighs tremble. the intense interest he shows in that reaction, as he teases your inner thighs and rubs circles into your clit with his thumb until your hips are helplessly grinding against him - all the while, he’s murmuring about how responsive you are, how wet you’re getting, how nicely your cunt is responding to his ministrations.

the one time you raise a meek whimper of ‘i-is this all really necessary, doctor?’, you see a brief flash of the reason he’s a harbinger. a brief bright glare, a pitching demand of if you’re questioning his methods - but when you falter and back down, sniffling tearful apologies, he seems to calm himself a little with that hot, hungry smile back on his face. 

you respond to one of his fingers slipping inside of you, squirming as the gloves rub at every inch of your walls. he gets a cry from you when it’s two fingers, gently scissoring you apart - he gets needy little gasps as it’s three fingers, stretching you further than you’ve ever been stretched before, your thighs trembling and sweat running down your bared body as you hope and hope and hope that this doesn’t mean he’s found something lacking inside of you. he fucks you on his fingers, rubbing against that spongy spot inside of you that nobody has ever touched before, until your head is filled with nothing but the wet squelch of his digits inside of you and the rolling heat threatening to overwhelm - and you come, pleasure spiking behind your eyes, slick gushing out to coat his fingers and the examination table beneath you.

dottore remembers what he’s doing. he pulls his fingers out of you, wiping them casually on his coat. 

“this all seems fine,” he tells you. “you’re a more than suitable candidate for marriage.”

(he knows you will not tell pantalone exactly how thorough his inspection was; shame is stooping your shoulders that you didn’t find the entire process entirely unbearable - that you came for him, and you liked it). 

of course, dottore reports back that you’re very much virginal. there are no problems there. and, too, he reports back that he’s fairly certain you’re fertile - but, if pantalone doesn’t mind (and he’s sure he won’t), dottore would still like to check in on you every few weeks . . . just to run a few more tests. just to make sure.

softer gale mod looks like he has a podcast where he calls women whores

I HATE THAT YOU SPOKE THIS INTO EXISTENCE

I HATE THAT YOURE RIGHT!!!!!!

[sunkern-plus]

i hate how people aren't attracted to fat women unless they're either hourglass or pear shaped with a tiny waist that makes them pass as skinny, and i hate how people aren't attracted to nonbinary fat people at all or perceive them as existing unless they're transmasculine

I actually really don't want to hear anything about how 'overcoming misogyny' is a major theme in Avatar: the Last Airbender when "The Fortuneteller" exists and the ultimate thesis of that episode, in the context of the show as a whole, is that if a girl is in unrequited love, it's cringe and kinda pathetic and she should move on cause the boy will never want her; but if a boy is in unrequited love, he just needs to be patient and wait for the girl he wants to come around cause he's a hero and how could she not?

Its secondary thesis is that you need to make your own destiny and not rely on someone else's words to tell you what your life has in store...if you're a BOY; if you're a girl then what the fake psychic told you will actually determine your ENTIRE life even if you are only fourteen years old.

Meng's existence really would have been the final nail in the coffin for Kataang even if the arc of the ship in Book 3 weren't so abhorrent to me personally (sorry but I have higher standards for romantic relationships than 'the girl is completely oblivious to the boy's advances for the entire show, is actively distressed when those advances become more pronounced, and then her feelings are resolved completely off screen between episodes so that the boy can get his prize in the end')--because her relationship with Aang is deliberately paralleled to Aang's relationship with Katara, and yet Meng, the one-off character, learns a lesson which Aang is quite literally told he must learn in the Book 2 finale... but he never ever does.

Aang has an entire season to internalize that lesson and come to terms with it--that maybe she doesn't have feelings for me and that's ok because I still love and care about her and that's enough--but he never even comes close. His possessive attachment to her gets worse, culminates in the EIP kiss, and Katara just capitulates because we're meant to believe that she went through the entire development of her romantic feelings for the love of her life off-screen between the penultimate episode and the four-part finale.

This was misogynistic even in 2008, and the idea that the show truly had anything meaningful to say about sexism/misogyny when uncritical and unchecked misogyny was baked into its very DNA (assuming we're meant to agree with Brychael that Kataang is 'in the DNA of the show) is just laughable to me. When it comes to 'overcoming misogyny' the show doesn't actually say anything more profound than 'girls can fight too!!!!!'

And that wasn't good enough for me then, it certainly isn't good enough for me today.

i posted something about taylor swift one (1) time and gods most milk toast 2010s misogyny came up on my dash talking abt the new album and i just. let’s look at the notes for a moment.

say sike rn i am begging you. what the fuck.

this is not a normal or healthy way to talk about a celebrity you don’t know because you *checks notes* aren’t a fan of their music. a musician is not an infection. they don’t deserve death or suffering because your retail job plays their music. i cannot stress this enough: celebrities are people, more importantly they are strangers

this is just so interesting because TTPD is largely about how fame is a gilded cage and actually no amount of financial security can compensate for the fact that being in the public eye makes people feel entitled to you and its destructive. Clara Bow is about how entertainment chews up and spits out young women, Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me is about how celebrities are dehumanized and mythologized, But Daddy I Love Him is about how fans feel an entitlement over celebrity’s personal lives, I Can Do It With A Broken Heart is about not being allowed to publicly display emotions that contradict the image you’re expected to have.

y’all are the problem, and you’re too up your own asses to notice.

@revieloutionne replied to your post:

why do you hate women

a better question is why does everyone praise revice as such a feminist show when they wrote daiji like that? 😒

[queerasf4ck]

I think we all need to stop pretending that the biphobia bi women face isn’t deeply rooted in misogyny.

[ourstolenlullabiess]

so you have an issue with “but daddy I love him” or that one line in “i hate it here” but yet youre completely fine when men sing about drugging women and rpe? says more about you than it does her

[hauntedfalcon]

Re: the shipping dynamics post - there are more fics on Ao3 tagged for Joe/Nicky/Booker (not remotely canon, two of the three are minor side characters) than there are fics tagged Andy/Nile (also not canon but there is definitely some chemistry, plus they are the two main characters.) If TOG were gender-flipped, you know people would be writing massive amounts of Andrew/Niles smut and show much less interest in Jo/Nikki, even if the van speech was exactly the same.

TOO

FUCKING

RIGHT

the whole argument completely falls apart when you look at the numbers for any media where the story is quite literally carried by women.

it’s the misogyny. it’s the misogyny!!

[papirouge]

chile, the White feminists really spent years gaslighting us that Taylor Swift was aKtcHualLy a victim all along and that any criticism of her performative White feminism was rooted in misogyny, only for her to date a crusty British scrote who looks like he didn't wash since a decade who publicly bragged about watching a porn website dedicated to show destitute Black women being raped & brutalized on tape

[spiderfreedom]

Not a fan of most of the album of the year noms but midnights is definitely not the album of the year

[sunkern-plus]

genuinely not excited for aki to be portrayed as an "irredeemable villain" knowing her backstory involves her pretending to be a child sex worker to be a thief for money

genuinely not excited for aki to be treated like she's crazy and irredeemable and broken because of the leaks that she's obsessed with fang possibly romantically but he abuses her constantly and she's too "stupid" to realize he doesn't love her

"An so, yeh know what I did? I bet you do you raw dog," Here, Frank paused in his monologuing to give the Nightmare a gentle ribbing with his elbow.

"I stuck it right in! HOOO!" He cackled. "You shoulda seen th look I got fer that! Left me in proper stitches I say, I say ol' mate! You know how that goes with the ol' sows!"

[you ever get stuck in a place with a person/entity you have no desire to be near and you just gotta cope]

The Corinthian is so, so, bored with this. The dead are generally welcome in the Dreaming, permitted to take whatever form they wish as any dreamthing may, but they are rarely this tedious to interact with. Already dead, Frank cannot be killed any more than the Corinthian (non-living, an idea, not a person), but he thinks a few good stabs might shut the fellow up for a little while.

He's just starting to turn the idea over when Frank touches him, elbow digging into his ribs, and the Corinthian's mind is made up. Not by the dull, repetitive droning about his conquests (though talk of sex is hardly of interest to the nightmare: he is a thing made for terror and death and pain, those are his preferred pursuits). Not by the assumption that he and Frank are of the same kind. Not by the grating sound of his voice or the liquor-rot stench of him (the Corinthian likes the smell, in fact: it is Frank's only redeeming factor). It's just the touch. The nonchalance of it. The liberties taken.

"Be a doll for me, Frankie," says the Corinthian smoothly, drawing a knife from the holster on his chest and plunging it straight through the dead man's eye. "And shut up."

It's easy enough to pin the fucker down. Easier still to get the other eye out - a reward for himself, for tolerating the company for so long.

Could you please explain more about how stunting causes misogyny and homophobia in fandom? i have a friend i'm trying to get into larrie but all they see when they look into it on their own is "misogyny" against beards and the boys female family members and all the proof as "homophobic stereotypes." i love your blog and all your ask responses are really smart so i would really appreciate some help explaining why all that is the result of management's manipulation.

Hi, i don't think i'm the right blog to answer this question, but i'm going to try. I'm not so well versed in these topics as others are.

First of all, homophobia and misogyny are two sides of the same coin. Lapelosa-blog would explain this much better than i can, so check out their blog and their 'homophobia' tag.

When HL first started stunting it created a divide in the fandom, those who bought it and those who didn’t. Larries were targeted by both fans and Sony (through Louis on twitter). HL being together were branded 'a conspiracy' as if two people being gay and closeted is so far feched. It's all rooted in homophobia. The targeting of us created an 'excuse' to bully and harrass those who thought larry were gay and together. Alot of this also stemmed from homophobia. We were accused of 'forcing a sexuality' on them, since the stunting meant that they were clearly straight. The same happened when people started bringing pride flags to 1D shows. People were dead scared to do it, because of the hate they would recieve. So larries and lgbtq+ members of fandom started creating safe spaces for each other, beause the hate was so prevalent.

The misogyny i think is more to do with managements treatment of the fans and how they percive us. Babygate is obviously created by people who think we would believe in an immaculate conception and fake babybumps.

Stuff like this is so stupid annoying to me. She wasn’t a “hermit” for living life privately and being bejeweled is something in her bones that has nothing to do with whether or not she takes a few pap walks around NYU to signal she is ok post-breakup :) she never “went” anywhere so she is not coming “back” :) thanks !
