Breaking up my lotr reread with a couple of vampire short stories, and more holiday stuff.
26|08|2024
I have been feeling weird lately, I normally don't procrastinate a lot, but I have been having an hard time actually doing things. The problem is my brain can't deal with procrastination, if I know I have to do something I need to do it right away, or else I'll just build up anxiety over doing that. I need to find a way to get out of this stupid loop. I also feel it might be that weird limbo of summer break being closer to an end and finding a hard time convincing myself to slowly get back in routines. I don't know overall it's a weird and annoying feeling. I did talk a bit about it in therapy this morning so that helped. On more fun updates I finished reading The Fellowship Of The Ring, and tho this morning I started The Two Towers, I decided I also need to very my reading switching between things. I therefore decided to start reading this tiny book with a couple of vampire stories by Frederick Ignatus Cowles. I am also finally done with my homemade translation of the epic musical. The last fun thing is that I decided to start rewatching gravity falls, and I am having such a great time with it!

Jenson and mark watching seb using his biggest plushie in his collection to get off, their hands guiding his hips slowly and letting it fell into a rhythm.
Seb shuts his eyes tightly, not sure whether its because of the that pleasure he's trying to focus or the eyes of his plushies and his two boyfriends staring at him. It's embarassing but he can feel himself becoming more sensitive with every second.
Jenson traces his back, making shapes and leaving feathery touches to seb's body while mark forces and eye contact with the german boy. "Beautiful," he whispered, his eyes growing dark and seb quickens his pace.
Seb whines, begging for more, its not enough mark please do something and his hips stutters when jenson pushed him, face planted, down to his bed. His sweater, mark's sweater, revealed his boxer. Dark patch formed and they cooed at seb when a sniffle came out from him.
"You made a mess sebby. Poor mr.whale all dirty because of you," mark mocked and provoked him, making seb bites his bottom lip in embarassment. His hand tries to cover his lower half but mark caught it before he could do so.
"Oh no seb. You dont have to be embarassed. We've already seen all of you," he reminded and seb moan when jenson palms his clothed cock.
He's grinding now. Seb used jenson's hand to reach his climax and mark brushed the hair covering his face. His eyes glazed with tears and he looked at jenson with his doe eyes, lips parted as he lets out small noises, one that can only be heard by them, and jenson has never been so hard before.

i think part of the resistance i’ve seen in response to the view of ed as an abuse victim—not just the view of izzy as someone who abused ed, but of ed as someone who was abused by him, as opposed to interpretations that pursue an image of Nuance and Complexity (unnecessarily, because their dynamic has heaps of both, but there seems to be a popular impulse to conflate complexity with shared culpability) by characterizing their relationship as being toxic/unhealthy in equal reciprocity, or as “mutually abusive” (oxymoron)—i definitely see the influence of racism there, but i think the racism is also working to amplify an adjacent issue where we tend to receive very specific cultural messaging about What An Abuse Victim Looks Like, and ed is excluded from a lot of that criteria.
he’s outspoken. he’s boisterous. he’s Very Cool and he Wears Leather. he’s physically bigger and browner than the person mistreating him. he spends the first season with a big grey beard, he’s covered in tattoos, he projects the image of A Man’s Man, to say nothing of his being a man in the first place. we see him get aggressive and we see him get angry (and sometimes we even see both at the same time). we see moments where he’s surly, prickly, insensitive, arrogant. his survival techniques and trauma responses incur collateral damage to other people, and in the second season this extends into affecting people we actually sympathize with. he’s extremely private about expressing fear. without examination, his professional relationship to izzy seems to position him as the one with the power slanted in his favor.
most damningly, we see him react multiple times to izzy’s abuse with physical violence. this is behavior that gets referenced all the time in the construction of narratives condemning subjects of physical abuse, let alone emotional abuse. which is why writing that intends for its audience to interpret a character as being unambiguously A Victim Of Abuse will often, for simplicity’s sake, avoid showing the character regularly engaging in anything of the kind.
and again, all of these departures from the image of The Model Victim are compounded by his being a man of color.
without any of the shorthand designed to point a big flashing arrow at his mistreatment, all we have left to work with are the words and actions we see from ed and izzy onscreen. who instigates conflict, and how does the other respond? how are they able or allowed to respond? how do we see them speak about each other to outside parties? does one go out of their way to control or isolate the other? what consequences does either party stand to face in saying “no” to the other? in acting against the other’s wishes? in trying to leave the relationship? when either of them attempts these things, how do we see the other respond?
i realize and appreciate what people are driving at when they garnish their analysis with disclaimers that they’re not saying ed’s just a poor innocent abuse victim, they’re not saying he’s a perfect angel who’s never done anything wrong, and that’s true, but these are points already contained implicitly in statements like “this show’s protagonists act like human people” and “ed’s emotional struggles are portrayed in a realistic and believable way.” my assumption is that these disclaimers are anticipatory responses to worst-faith interpretations of any discussion that attributes any victim status to ed whatsoever, so i definitely sympathize with their inclusion, but a (very small) part of me still worries about them potentially reflecting or reinforcing a belief that there is any way for someone to behave towards their abuser that imparts a responsibility for them to make right whatever damage the abuser receives, or for that matter any degree of ambiguity over their status as an abuse victim in the first place.
part of what i find so gratifying about ed as a character is that i don’t feel like the show’s writing is pressuring me to consider that ambiguity at all. which was a really nice thing for me to discover!
and tbh—did using ed to deconstruct The Model Victim even factor into the writers’ agenda?? ive got no clue. im guessing no? ??maybe?? probably not?? but if you create a main character whose central premise is that he feels trapped in a performance of exaggerated masculinity that he’s desperate to escape, and then you set him up with a character premised on embodying a tangible obstacle against that escape, then i guess that’s the natural shape your story’s gonna be inclined to take
