I'm growing fond of this specific action heroine archetype.

In 1911, Marie Curie's affair with married physicist Paul Langevin sparked public outrage. Despite the Nobel Committee's suggestion to avoid the ceremony for her second Nobel Prize, she attended. Albert Einstein supported her, advising her to ignore the negative press.

YALL hear me out poolverine alien stage au (if you don't know what it is you should check it out it's a series of animated videos on youtube) where they're like ivantill. For those of you who haven't seen it, the gist is that aliens took over the world and enslaved humans as pets and now force them into singing competitions where the loser dies.

Logan was adopted from the streets by Charles Xavier, an alien hybrid who was much kinder and ran an orphanage for human children. He and the X-men have to participate in Alien Stage, so go to Anakt Garden to socialize and train as kids.

On the other hand, Wade is adopted by a piece of shit owner and gets thrown into Anakt Garden to train. There, he meets Vanessa (who serves a similar role to Mizi) and falls in love with her and idolizes her. He's like Till in the fact that he misbehaves and fights back against the aliens there, which leads to him getting tortured and treated as a threat.

Meanwhile, Logan plays a similar role to Ivan. He's favored by his owner in this sort of transactional business relationship and he's very talented so he gets preferential treatment. He meets Wade and watches him fight back against the captors and becomes infatuated with him. He goes out of his way to interact with him and get into fights to get his attention (and to impede on his time with Vanessa) and uses his special treatment and knowledge to go help Wade when he's being restrained or punished.

But Wade's always drawn to Vanessa. Except, without a "Sua" character for the "Mizi" role, Vanessa likes him back. Despite them spending time together, Logan and Wade have this love-hate relationship where Logan goes to pester Wade and they end up hanging out and becoming sort of friends.

Until the X-men plan an escape, because that's what Charles secretly wanted them to do. Logan grabs Wade at night and drags him along because he wants Wade to escape too. But Wade can't leave without Vanessa, who's too content in Anakt Garden to leave. He doesn't want to put her in danger.

Logan is conflicted about leaving with the X-men or going back with Wade... except he doesn't get to choose. Because the X-men are found and killed by the time he catches up to them. And he's forced to return, traumatized and alone.

He blames himself for letting them go. For not being able to protect them, even if he knew he couldn't do much against the aliens. (Privately, he realizes that Wade saved his life. That without Wade, he would've been up there with them and died. He doesn't know whether to be relieved or angry.)

And so Logan falls into a depression and the only person he's close to is Wade. He starts bothering him more and intruding on his space to get attention, and Wade begins warming up to him but still has Vanessa.

Until the actual game begins. In the first round, Wade has to go up against Vanessa. They sing together, letting themselves relish their final duet, before the results come in. Vanessa lost. She gets shot in front of Wade, who falls to his knees and fights against his restraints and nearly loses it.

He's a husk of himself even as Logan tries to get any kind of reaction out of him. Eventually, their round comes up. And they're forced to fight each other for survival.

Logan notices that Wade stopped singing halfway through the performance. He'd given up. If this kept going, he would lose. And so here comes their rendition of the infamous ivantill kiss scene: Logan yanks Wade into a searing kiss, showing his true feelings and shocking Wade, who doesn't know what to do.

Logan puts his hands around Wade's neck and squeezes, strangling him. Wade closes his eyes, content to die. ...Except, Logan loosens up at the last second. Lets go. And Wade stares in horror as Logan gets shot at, blood pouring down his mouth as he gives Wade a final crooked grin. He'd purposely broken the rules and "hurt" Wade so that he'd be disqualified and lose. So that Wade could go on.

Wade stares in numb horror for the second time as someone he loves collapses in a pile of blood in front of him.

Also I've been in this fandom for like 2.5 seconds approximately and I don't respect a single one of y'all BUT cmiiw the girlypop high femme lesbian mommy etcetc whatever PSH is a fairly new development isn't it. Like my first bias was Sanini but then I realized HJ is a diversely creative fairy prince who wears half-skirts, paints his nails and talks about fashion for men AND women and I was like O YES HI HELLO THIS ONE'S MINE HI. It's fascinating that apparently there's a whole genre of fans who see Joongie as the masculine dom to Hwa's willow-waisted femme omega bottom when like... They both have "masculine" and "feminine" traits. Above all that they're cool fun guys and I like them a lot (assigning gender to personality trait is finest grade dumbassery, not to mention gender essentialism. I don't recommend doing that)

Magneto literally getting his heart ripped out of his body but getting up and walking around like for several more issues because -

-yeah. that's exactly what I thought you'd do.

[7fff00]

nuance in all things but

sort of think it's a red flag for someone to be too sure that in any given interpersonal conflict there's a single Right Answer

like obviously there are plenty of things i personally think there's a single correct stance on (trans rights, 2 plus 2 equaling 4, etc) but i also think like. okay. so in my personal opinion people who disagree with me on these issues are Wrong. however! i can't wave a magic wand to erase that wrongness from their mind—and moreover my own ethical convictions mean i shouldn't even if i could, because i believe that a society which bans wrongthink is a dangerously repressive one. i think it's critical that people have the freedom of their own thoughts, to arrive at their own self-determined conclusions—even if i vehemently disagree with where that means they end up! because the alternative is worse! both because any weapon i condone could ultimately be used against me—the current US administration would very clearly say that my belief in trans rights is wrongthink!—and because if someone espouses a stance i endorse without thinking it through, they won't be firm in their conviction: no chain of reasoning will convince you in any lasting way unless you've personally tested all its links, and seen for yourself that they cohere. you see this all the time with eg bad casual trans allyship that just find-and-replaces 'women' with 'afab' and then doesn't understand why that isn't satisfactory, because the speaker hasn't actually rethought which of the many slippery concepts hegemonically filed under 'woman' they're actually trying to reference ('is targeted by misogyny'? 'has breasts'? 'has a uterus'? 'menstruates'? 'can get pregnant'? none of those are perfectly overlapping circles!), they've just reskinned-but-retained their original cissexist perisexist ableist white supremacist etc concept.

but so like. okay. the wrongness can't be magically erased: it must be combatted. but already with that choice of language i'm heading down the wrong path because if you bring aggression it will be met with defensive aggression. ultimately you only get people to back down if you approach slowly and gently and leave them room to save face. and also like. in a close-relational context it's extremely obvious that you ought to care not only abt who's Objectively Right but abt treating the other person respectfully and tenderly and abt trying to enter into their experience a little and hear them out abt it and sympathize with whatever suffering it contains instead of dismissing it out of hand. in a not-close context that becomes less obvious but i don't actually think it becomes less true—because like. cf that one post abt how you shd only critique people to the same extent you're actually willing to sit down with them and help them, but also the flipside of that where like. i do basically think it's reasonable for people to only incorporate critique from others who are willing to engage in extended sympathetic dialogue with them, because what's the alternative? you just automatically assume that anyone who's tearing you down is right about it? i think it was earlgraytay who pointed out once that like. that's not actually mentally healthy behavior—people should have a healthy self-regard and not immediately jump to 'you're probably right that i suck.' like i'm personally much too willing to assume that i suck and (1) it's entirely bc that was the message i got from my emotionally abusive mother for decades (2) believing that has not, shockingly, actually empowered me to make positive changes! so i really do think we have to work out how to get people to embrace humaneness without, and i really don't think i'm actually speaking hyperbolically here, abusing them into it. the master's tools will not dismantle the master's house, etc.

anyway i don't think this is some brilliantly radical line of thinking on my part but it's also like. well basically no one believes it as far as i can tell, or if they do they aren't actually willing/able to set aside their own pain long enough to practice it. it's always like 'well here are the reasons i'm ontologically permanently a victim and so have no obligation to try to set aside my own woundedness and meet other people halfway.' and i'm not even immune to that myself! like look at me talking about my cptsd-inducing childhood as if that excused me from any obligation to try to rejigger my own psyche now that i'm an adult! but like. idk. bitch we're all wounded. okay. it sucks in this crab bucket. how do we build a ladder.

[disclaimer of course that like. no you don't have to feed the sea lions. yes you get to take breaks from activism. no we almost certainly can't and shouldn't take a gentle parenting approach to all bigotry. see original 'nuance in all things' header.]

2/05/25 You’re NOT lazy, you’re healing ❤️‍🩹 You need lots of rest when you finally come out of flight or fight mode. My thing is, I’ve let myself rest some days and then I’ve told myself to pick up and keep going simply to not let others in my life down. Family members have been on me about my weight and sudden lack of motivation/energy. My mom says, “I guess you can’t work anymore??” But then I feel guilty like I shouldn’t be this tired. Mind over matter, right? So I pushed myself and when it did, I’m breaking a sweat and even feeling light headed. I’m sooooo stinkin tired that after work I showered, made dinner and crashed. Am I crazy?? I don’t believe in just accepting everything you read on google to be true for every single person but I’ve seen countless testimonials and videos on the subject of chronic fatigue after coming out of fight or fight mode….. just sayin. It’s NOT lazy. I’ve never been this tired that I can ever remember. I use to be the family caretaker and took care of EVERYONE including I would faithfully clean my parent’s house and my bro’s house…. SO WHAT HAPPENED TO ME? If not for the impact of emotional trauma. I mean… I’m not giving up. This week especially I have pushed myself not to give in to this fatigue totally but to consider mind over matter. Consider that other people with trauma be out there working full time and giving it their all. I can’t compare myself to others but surely I’m gonna get it together and get myself back to life again. ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹 I’m not staying down. I’m not accepting the long term effects and I’m not accepting brain damage. Yes somedays my brain gets foggy but I’ve got a good memory for the most part and I am not giving up 🌹 it’s not beating myself up, it’s saying that we gotta get well. I know healing has been a daily process that’s been taking a long time and I’m not putting a deadline on it. I’m simply saying that I’m a overcomer and I’m gonna be ok! Speaking life and good health over me!! I haven’t had a suicide attack OR panic attack in many years now and I’m very thankful for that. Unfortunately depression and anxiety still chase me, as does stress but I’m battling all of it every day ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹🌹 (also battling isolation) no I’m NOT LAZY! I’m simply getting better ❤️‍🩹
