Playboyy Speculation

I think Zouey got raped or, at the very least, had an extremely violent encounter with someone and Nant found out. I don't know if he just found out or if Zouey told all of his friends, but I think Nant knew someone severely hurt his best friend and I think that played a MAJOR role in his disappearance. That's why Zouey seems sketch and like he's hiding something. Because he IS hiding his secret that may have played a part in Nant dying how he did, but he didn't actually have anything to do with it.

I won't pretend I like Zouey or that I haven't been suspicious of him, but I really don't think he killed Nant or is even directly connected to his disappearance. I also don't think Nant was the one to hurt him since he was genuinely so happy when Nont showed up pretending to be Nant.

I just think while Nant was burning his whole life down with drugs something really bad happened to Zouey. I think Nant thought it was connected (and it probably was) to the shitty people he was around and it set this entire thing in motion. Which is why Zouey was so desperate to find Nant, then so happy when Nont showed up pretending to be him, became almost as obsessed with Nont in finding Nant, is currently almost as obsessed as Nont about finding out why Nant died, and seemed terrified for Teena to look at whatever painting was under the tarp in his studio.

I just think Nant dying is connected to Zouey's sexual trauma and he obviously feels extremely guilty about it, even though I don't think he did anything wrong.

#playboyy #playboyy the series #I am not a Zouey fan but I don't think he's some evil mastermind #that took Nant down or whatever #I think he's a traumatized 19 year old who's best friend disappeared and later died #possibly trying to figure out or expose whoever hurt him #which obviously has traumatized him even more #and that's why he's fighting so much with his friends who do admittedly suck #but he very clearly didn't have any issues with them before #I don't know how his story's gonna end up since I have no idea how any of this is gonna end up #but I'm pretty confident in this #but watch me get proven wrong and look foolish #I was already Team That Motherfucker Back There Isn't Real about Nant and Nont being the same person #so I'm cool if I'm wrong about this too lol #regular clyde

every time i think i know what worm is about i see a post like "did [character ive never heard of] effectively utilize girl power when she [horrific human rights violation]?" and I have to try to figure out how tf that fits into anything

#from what ive gathered #its about a girl with bug powers who wants to be a superhero but semi-accidentally becomes a supervillain instead #her hometown is full of gangs #i think she ends up taking over and/or destroying most of the gangs?#every so often giant horrific eldritch monstrosities attack and everybody with powers has to team up to fight them #theres at least one shady government(?) organization giving people powers that turn them into monsters #the multiverse is real and they sometimes import media from a universe where superheroes dont exist #theres a group of government sponsored teen heroes just sort of hanging out #theres a gang of serial killers led by the joker if editorial mandates were a canon superpower #theres a family of superheroes but the girl with healing powers has serious issues and i think goes evil?#also all of these people get powers by being traumatized which means theyre all wildly unstable #(this is deliberate)#the main character changes her codename at least once possibly twice im still not sure if the second one is a name or a title #i think a few people change their codenames actually #i still dont know why its called worm #i also dont know whats spoilers and whats just information presented up front when relevant

one day i'll finish my hour by hour account of the first two days that athene is in the labyrinth (which are a continuous 48 hours btw) because i want to elaborate on just how warped her perception of reality is afterward and the lasting effects it's had on her mentally and physically.

#i think it's the one time the court has looked at her like yikes we fucked that one up gang #because she is soooo out of it for weeks afterward #and she's literally a freshman in college??#so they have to pull some strings to keep her enrolled after she basically falls off the map #but yeah i think This contributes to her scrambling for control over every aspect of herself and her life #because the things someone sees in the labyrinth are traumatic but also feel so so Real #and so i think athene has issues with trusting her perspective of reality #in like a 'let me touch you so i know you're real' kind of way #especially in emotional situations or times when she feels that control slipping away from her #because it just takes her straight back to the labyrinth #but anyway consider that relationships or situations that are overly positive also just throw up her red flags of 'this is not real'#because that seems so Impossible to her that... this has to be a trick?? did they ever actually let her out of the labyrinth??

maybe it's how it gets people on the radfem pipeline or maybe it's me being triggered from erasure of my own experiences, but I've been seeing a lot of gender essentialism in the last couple weeks and it has me feeling like joker from the joker

#the choosing the bear thing on tiktok - my fucking god. you can watch ppl becoming radfems in REAL TIME #like what do I do. what can a trans man that was traumatized by feminization as well as feminine people his whole life say.#what can I say when you tell me TERFS mainly target trans women and 'only' want me to detransition.#when you say I benefit from patriarchy - which is the source of all trans oppression. it benefits nobody only harms some less than others.#it makes me sound reactionary but being a woman does not make one any better/safer than a man. certainly not for me.#straight up I just don't trust cishet women anymore. or anyone that pins all structural issues on men as individuals. im done!#anyway I'll tell my therapist about this but yeah im going insane as we speak

in retrospect i knew deathly hallows was not going to be the book i wanted it to be when remus lupin, 37 year-old man and beloved friend of james potter, begs to abandon his pregnant wife and soon-arriving newborn to have fun cool adventures with his friend's kid in the woods

#and he's like 'oh it could be a werewolf it could be dangerous' SO YOU'RE LEAVING HER ALONE TO TAKE CARE OF IT??#hitting and kicking and punching and biting. for real #as a teenager i read that scene and thought harry came across as mean. now i read it and i'm like GO HARDER HE NEEDS TO CRY #and it's like i get it he IS a marauder he IS avoidant he DOES have trust issues (understandable)#but i feel like that scene. lacks an understanding of how serious that is. and that like. he had zero qualms with it until harry shamed him #and like — he DIDN'T see the error of his ways. harry rejected him!#if harry had been like “okay having an adult would be nice” then teddy would never have met his father! fuck!#and idk i feel like the scene is not appreciating how heavy it is to Walk Out On Your Child #like oh okay. you are going to traumatize your infant son. bc you're scared he's going to have YOUR medical condition? fucker.#anyway the reason i have a problem with it from a writing pov (apart from character like even assuming it's a fine character move)#is because there's no plot reason to it. it's one of the last scenes we ever get with remus and it basically #sticks him and tonks in a box until it's time to kill them!#why in a book that's a million pages long do we never see most of the characters fighting this war?

me when people hate on aos trek:

#starlight fandom #starlight trek #LOOK I KNOW THEY AREN’T GOOD MOVIES THEY WERE IF MARVEL HIT STAR TREK WITH A BASEBALL BAT BEHIND A CLUB #BUT AOS GOT ME INTO STAR TREK IN THE FIRST PLACE OKAY IT HAS A PLACE IN MY HEART FOREVER #AND IT’S NOT AOS!JIM’S FAULT THAT THEY WROTE HIM BAD I ACTUALLY THINK ITS REAL INTERESTING #TO SEE A VERSION OF JIM KIRK THAT’S TRAUMATIZED AND FUCKED UP AND DIDN’T HAVE A FATHER AND YET HE STILL ENDS UP COMPASSIONATE #HE STILL ENDS UP A LEADER AND KIND #like fr tho that’s a fascinating concept #how much things may be different and how Spock!prime broke the timeline by melding with aos!kirk #and Kirk still ends up kind and loving and beloved anyway!!!!!#like I’m sorry they didn’t execute well until beyond and honestly I ignore stid entirely but it’s such a cool concept to me #and Karl urban as bones was so. SO. SO GOOD. he was perfect and deranged in the best way #Quinto-Spock I can take or leave but I do love me a bitchy Vulcan and he did have that #it’s okay to not like aos I don’t blame anyone for not liking it but I am so fond of it folks I truly am #and I’m not just saying that b/c the fic I’m writing rn for comfort and therapy reasons is projecting my current issues on aos!kirk #he’s just really to project onto and he looks like he’d benefit from ketamine treatment too and learning how to have hobbies w/o stress #anyway like I said I don’t blame anyone for disliking it or erasing it from their fandom memory #but it got me into Star Trek and I’m grateful and if ppl weren’t cowards aos!kirk would be so fucking fascinating in a feral way

I just had to share this video because holy shit, it hits the nail right on the head! So well spoken. This stuff needs to be circulated more, esp with the growing number of people thinking they have this because of misinformation, or just outright faking it.

#it's painful because i knew someone who personally faked this stuff (or has convinced herself she has it i can't even tell)#she had spent all her time on tiktok and i know for 100% sure that's where she got the idea. it's TRAGIC how fast things went downhill #i'm legit horrified at how many people (esp young kids of 13-14) think they have this too. or are just pretending #i've been neck deep in hardcore research (and i'm talking pubmed sciencedirect etc only) for months #and those kids definitely don't have did.. if they have trauma and are dissociating it's going to be something else like dpdr etc #the number of stupid 'you have did' answers i see for totally basic questions like 'i got dizzy what's wrong w me' is insane too #it's like googling 'muscle twitch' and then thinking you have some rare 1/billion familial cancer thing despite other obvious explanations #but worse.. in these cases the information is being fed to them. they don't have an opportunity to explore other possibilities #and the worst part is they don't even know to CHECK THE VALIDITY OF WHAT THESE PEOPLE ARE SAYING. they don't have info literacy #like i'll say this once: did is so rare that it's STILL contentious about whether it even exists #and it only happens in the most unimaginably traumatic experiences. think of the worst possible things you could do to a child #where even just thinking about it makes you uncomfortable. THAT'S the kind of trauma that leads to did. the truly evil stuff.#i'm not even gonna start on the BITE model shenanigans that are happening in the 'did' communities either #or how the people who used to be in them (and got out) always equate them to self-harming cults that celebrated not finding real answers #they got told they were 'perfect the way they were' despite having OBVIOUS psychological issues they needed help for #(it just wasn't did)#they were assured their 'did was valid no matter what'. toxic positivity ig? it just delayed their real diagnosis and ability to get help #but now you have gluts of people like in the video 'talking to themselves' and people on tumblr posting one-liners of 'alters' talking #one after the other within seconds. and i want to fcking cry because it's the same exact shit my friend did before she cut ties #the did/tourettes/ftlb stuff has literally been called a 'mass sociogenic illness' in multiple academic studies #but like qanon believers they seem to immediately discredit anyone who mentions this with 'you're just ableist' so anything you say is poo #aka you're part of the problem you're an 'ableist' so your legit info even though legit isn't valid/acceptable/real/whatever. i'm tired fam #did #dissociative identity disorder #osdd #ddnos #munchausen syndrome #mass psychogenic illness #ableism

lmao the whole "miles is attracted to phoenix partially because he's a bit similar to his dad" drama sparked up again

people who go sooo far to deny the obvious narrative parallels because they can't stand their uwu wholesome ship to be even the tiniest bit weird...get over urselves. or step away from the thrice-divorced emotionally constipated grown man yaoi

people's brains are messy and sometimes the way they imprint on others is influenced by their formative experiences. i definitely know people who have gravitated towards romantic partners with similarities to their family, it is a Thing That Happens (not to everyone, not to most people but It Does To Some). it's kinda gross to realize, you go through a phase of denying it because you don't want that sick fuck freud to have been anywhere near right about anything, but then you grow up and accept it's kinda funny

it doesn't mean people want to fuck their family, edgeworth is not attracted to his dad, you are the freak for thinking that. not us for recognizing the writing Choice to have That Man who saved him do so through the profession of the father he idolized, spouting the same ideals.

a person relies on a parent for protection, then grows up and relies on a lover (or friend/life partner/etc). it's a classic romance narrative, often disproportionately used on female characters even though people of all genders depend on each other equally in a relationship, so it's actually quite refreshing to see a queer version of it with miles' blossoming admiration and love for phoenix! and yeah, it's ripe for a few jokes about his daddy issues bleeding into his relationships. sue me i have a deadbeat dad pass

#miles edgeworth is a traumatized little freak and if you can't accept that u dont get him <3 #be real. being attracted to phoenix wright does underly some psychological issues #dottysalt

#i joke about it and all but like. i cannot emphasize enough what an impact it had on me to be uhhhhhb #micro-institutionalized in the way that i was for the first 14 years if my life #and i am honestly going to count the time i soent in ''elementary'' school bc it wasn't a normal school. it was a charter school #that began as a parent organized alternative and swiftly devolved into an authoritarian nightmare #a bunch of people who were simply not ready to educate children let alone ''problem'' children #of which there were MANY because that school got all the kids who had been turned out of public school for behavioral issues #there were hardline rules about literally everything. normal childhood behavior was pathologized and punished and as a kid #you had no way to understand WHY #and so many of your peers were having problems because ofc those ''problem'' kids were typically severely traumatized #or were actively being abused #so even if it wasn't happening TO you you were being exposed to it in a hundred little ways every day #so i was confused and miserable all the time AND was struggling academically bc i had undiagnosed adhd #(or possibly just trauma?? i honestly neither know nor care which came first at this point)#so my mom pulled me and my brother out. him at 11 and me at 6 and said ''i'll just do it myself'' and #raised us in a way that wasn't religious but resembled evangelical or lds stuff #i couldn't watch commercial tv or listen to popular music bc my parents didn't want me exposed to what they considered inappropriate #and while i still had extracurriculars i was always the odd one out bc i had no exposure to pop culture or normal socialization #for my age group #it resulted in me always feeling alone and like i didn't belong. and since most of my social life was my parents and their friends #that was the perfect soup for adultification #i was fine with adults. put me with my peers and i was a mess #it made the transition to high school incredibly difficult but i DID make it #but that was only 4 years still in an institution. everything began to unravel once i tried to move into anything resembling ''real life''#and then my dad's suicide which was a major trauma in early adulthood which only made my mom's grip on us tighten #i did get to START life until 26. not really. and it's just been a game of catch up for the last 5 years #and im so *angry* at the unfairness of it all. at the time and experience and milestones that were taken from me. at how i blamed myself #for it for so many years and the problems i developed because of it all. dissociation and substance abuse and suicidality #the fear that still has a death grip on me #the courage required to just exist #it's *exhausting*

Brain "Yes, Adamas as an AU Commander/Champion of Aurene is really good... but what if, Tocchix in that role?" Me "But there are more AUs around him than anyone else!" Brain "Okay, but think of the new levels of angst!" Me "... Yes, honey 😞"

#Skye says stuff #I don't even know how most of the things would happen or if Aurelia is there at all. brain just decided to fixate on that HARD #the angst would be soooo good though. and here I thought Aurelia had it rough :')#would Poffi survive? Iotta still leaves so late s2 and HoT would be real hell. the whole TB thing would happen with Aurene.#but I'm 100% chosing the happy ending of some AUs for S4. one man can only deal with so much before breaking beyond repair.#as a Commander? he'd be just. levels of tired unknown to Tyria and the Mists. this good boy can fit so much trauma and still function.#maybe Aurelia could go on side quests or just... have had a less traumatic Mists experience. maybe be a more proper Herald of Glint?#she still has some Mists-related issues. aloof and weird. maybe connected already to her warband? gets earlier with Ellara though.#Adamas is still part of Tocchix's family and he's his second. Aurelia sticks close to Adamas after finding him so she's Tocchix's third(?)#ok disregard the first tag I guess I figured it out while writing the rest lmao #I'm chewing hard on the potential depth of the Iotta stuff though. or like all of his personal relationships.#oh man I hope I don't get consumed by this :')#rambles #Tocchix #Commander!Tocchix AU

People are saying things like "oh going to the boiling isles traumatized Luz" which yeah it did, but also Luz had a HUGE amount of trauma before she even stepped foot through the portal in s1e1 and people keep minimizing and ignoring that.

#she watched her father die! she had to watch her mother grieve! she was bullied and alienated her entire life! she was completely alone!#all of that before the age of 14 is incredibly traumatic #she wasnt an innocent sunshine and rainbows baby character before shit got real in the boiling isles #she was hurting and struggling from her loneliness and self worth issues and grief and feeling rejected by her mom #she was just good at hiding it #and denying it #something she does again and again throughout the series #toh #the owl house

id like it to be known that i wholeheartedly support abortion. i support abortion for the person whose pregnancy has become too dangerous to come to term. i support abortion for the victim of rape. i support abortion for those who don't have the financial means to have a child. i support abortion for those underage. i support abortion for someone middle-aged with a stable family and finances and loving partner who quite simply does not want a child. i support abortion for people who sleep around. i support abortion for someone who thought they wanted a child but changed their mind. i support abortion in all its infinitely different situations. if it comes to me picking between a bunch of cells that look like fish eggs and an actual living breathing person with a name and future then babe we're having caviar

#fun fact! 9/10 abortions happen before 12 weeks #and over half happen in the first 8 weeks #at 12 weeks your fetus (bc it's not even a baby yet if u want to be technical) is the size of a lime. a fucking lime #i wasnt going to make a post about this bc i dont like bringing politics onto tumblr #bc after how jaded i got with covid and now Everythign Else i wanted a site that could be safe from real world shit #and also it's very tiring that an American Issue suddenly becomes Everyone's Issue and it can be quite frustrating #when that energy isn't met for literally any other country. and i didnt want to contribute to the en masse posting about roe v wade atm #for those two reasons (at least on tumblr. im not actually spiteful about this and obviously really care about the topic. it's just tiring)#but it's come to my attention that somehow i have pro-lifers in these parts #and i want to make it very fucking clear that i dont want them here #me and this blog are completely wholeheartedly pro-choice in any form it may show itself as #because i have enough critical thinking skills to know two basic facts #1) that people have ALWAYS had abortions. the only thing that's changed is the safety in which they're carried out #you will NEVER get rid of them you will only ever endanger the people and women you're trying so hard to 'protect'#and 2) i have never heard of a single person that was happy to get an abortion. not one. it's not a fun experience #it's incredibly hard and traumatic but oftentimes necessary for whatever personal reason specific to that person #stop fucking making laws about other people's bodies #it really shouldn't be difficult

[Timmy Turner voice] I wish every Links Meet AU that uses Marin as a phantom to haunt and traumatize Link goes to hell no matter what

#No I am not vaguing any specific links meet au bc ive already seen four different ones that do this #Fun Fact! You can give ALTTP!Link different character conflict!#That doesn't butcher the themes and ending of one of the games!#And reduce a female character and arguably LOZ's first complex character to a flat source for man angst #Marin would murder Link if she found out he was remembering her and Koholint in trauma and tragedy #Rather than treasuring its memory and celebrating its existence #GENUINELY framing Link as wildly traumatized by the events of Link's Awakening the way so many ppl do #Completely destroys all thematic coherence in the game's ending and makes it wildly unsatisfying #Yes Koholint disappearing was sad. No Link did not kill an island no it would not haunt him like a ghost #It's a treasured memory and a net positive experience! I have OPINIONS on this and I'm CORRECT #And I'm calling out Links Meet AUs specifically bc those are the biggest offenders #Of stripping everyone else of depth and focus for the sake of white boy Link #If ur lucky then Zelda still has character depth but everyone else* is shit out of luck basically #*Exceptions apply ofc #Lots of stuff that's not links meet aus also interprets Marin in ways I don't personally like #I am picky #Some of which I'd argue are just. Bad.#But at least they often make an effort with her character #Links Meet AUs are the Link Only Show tho and I'm ANNOYED bc I WANT TO LIKE THEM #I AM A SUCKER FOR MULTIVERSE SHIT. U DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH THIS PAINS ME #Anyway. L + ratio + you did not consider the thematic implications of ur fanproject and it annoys me :(#My posts #Loz #Link's awakening #update when i first made this post i was genuinely not intending to single out any specific links meet aus #however i have since crunched the numbers and two thirds of the marin tag on ao3 is linked universe #and i would like to make it clear. i have no real issue with the actual comic or its portrayal of marin #mostly bc marin has not actually appeared or been addressed in the actual comic at all #however i do hope the linked universe FANDOM goes to hell no matter what
