#thought daughter activities

[literallyimthenerdemoji]

trying to peacefully get in my ten reps of 'am i making you feel sick' an additional ten reps of 'i am something' and then like just another ten reps of 'hunger hurts but starving works' and you're interrupting my next ten sets of 'werent we the stars in heaven, werent we the salt in the sea' and then a few extra sets of 'you know its a mistake when its me who's making it' some additional sets of 'and i was so young when i behaved 25, yet now i find ive grown into a tall child' and then just a few sets of 'standing in the yard, dressed like a kid, the house is white and the lawn is dead, lawn is dead, lawn is dead' (plus one more set of 'i always wanted to die clean and pretty, but id be to busy on working days, so i am relieved that the turbulence wasnt forecasted, i couldn't have changed anyway, i am relieved that i left my room tidy, goodbye.' and one more set of 'and i wouldnt have to scream your name atop of every roof in the city of my heart' plus a couple sets of 'i look up at the gaps of sunlight, i miss you more than anything' and just a few sets of 'if its meant to be then it will be' in addition to a few quick reps of 'what fear a man like you brings upon a woman like me' and just a tad bit of some 'every inch of me is full of pain, oh you should've come over' and maybe just a little 'swinging by my neck from the family tree' and mayhaps just a smidge of 'i am the fire and i am the forest and i am the witness watching it')

mayhaps this is a hot take but I truly dislike “Loid gets murderous and overprotective of Anya dating Damian” content

like. there are sm reasons I dislike it

first off, just fundamentally, I hate that trope. I think parents being protective of children in general is cute, and even maybe protective against their partners to an extent, but it rlly feeds into the Western (esp American) notion of parents owning their children. it gets even grosser when it’s the dad and his daughter, it’s just a branch of ‘women and their purity having to be guarded until they’re properly married’ sexism

secondly, if this is pre-reveal (either Damian comes over/talks to Anya in front of Loid and it’s p obvious he has a crush, so Loid, of course, course notices, OR somehow, post-canon yet not revealed, they get together), Loid would absolutely use that to advance Operation Strix lol

obviously Loid is NOT a bad or uncaring father, he is absolutely not that, BUT he does also very vehemently care about achieving world peace thru his spy work, AND ANYA UNDERSTANDS AND EVEN AGREES WITH THIS (to the highest extent she can as a child, at least). he would never partake in extensive manipulation that’d harm Anya emotionally (or even Damian tbh, his whole goal is to create a world where no children have to cry) but he would DEFINITELY encourage their relationship in order to eventually, somehow get to Desmond the ghoul-eyed freak

thirdly, even if this is POST-reveal, I still don’t think Loid would be unreasonable. sure, he may apprehensive due to Damian’s family and more concrete examples of Anya growing up (MAYBE bc honestly I think Loid would be ecstatic with every milestone in Anya’s life considering how genuinely supportive and proud of her that he is) BUT. but

he, again, not only wants to create a world where no children have to cry, so he clearly values the youth and their quality of life, but ALSO KNOWS abt how shitty Damian’s father is. personally, I think he’d be GLAD that Damian has a safe place to come to, with ppl who’ll support him (unconsciously, bc Loid is very oblivious to his own emotions lmao)

anyways, tldr; the “Loid being super hostile to Damian dating Anya” trope is tired and sucks and we should move onto appreciating a trope that honours the CORE of sxf, more found family, where Damian joins the Forgers, even before he and Anya potentially marry (even before they date if possible tbh)

Okay but (to me) Leon's immediate skepticism of Luis is the biggest sign that he had some level of initial attraction to Luis, even if he didn't outwardly express it. Immediately regarding Luis the same way he regarded Ada after finding out she's a mercenary implies - more than anything else, in my opinion - that Leon was not only expecting, but actively preparing for his hopes to be dashed and for him to be proven wrong in his feelings for someone, again.

Personally, I feel everyone even Jane Austen herself is a tad bit mean when it comes to the character of Mrs. Bennet and should shift some on that to Mr. Bennet. Like yes she's a silly, neurotic woman but can u like blame her?

Her husband failed to do anything for their children. He stopped being involved in their education probably around Mary's childhood, did not save or plan for the future of FIVE women at all, and not only that he's so unbothered by ANYTHING at all like Mr. Collins - the heir to his estate and fortune - stops by and he doesn't even tell his family?????? until he's about to arrive?????? Not only that it's kind of cruel the way he does it like haha u guys know how yall are women so u don't inherit shit? well, the dude that can come and turn u all out on ur asses - which is mostly my fault bc i didn't do shit to make sure u all are provided for once I'm gone - is about to arrive so hehe.

Like in what other way is Mrs. Bennet supposed to behave in that era where her daughter's futures were entirely dependent on the wealth of the man they marry. And honestly, i think Mrs. Bennet was almost too kind to Mr. Bennet I'd have been very bitter knowing that even tho we tried for a son - hence all the daughters - he still did nothing to ensure their financial security. Like these girls could have ended up destitute and it'd be entirely his fault. I always saw Mrs. Bennet as a mother who was just trying to do the best she could to look out for her daughters given the circumstances.

You know that time in the comics when the Doctor is so depressed, he shuts off the lights, turns on an interrogation spotlight, locks himself in the console room, and argues with a bunch of judgmental shadow-figures resembling his past incarnations?

And all the TARDIS' lights go out and her interior becomes a maze to keep his companions out of the console room, all from her psychic connection with the Doctor (“moodbleed”)?

And his companions are left wandering in circles for two days as the air goes “stale,” not knowing where he is but thinking the worst, while he hallucinates in a dark room?

...because I'm thinking again about the times this definitely happened when he was with the Ponds.

Elizabeth Woodville and her daughters being harassed by “repeated intercessions and dire threats” to leave sanctuary and submit to Richard III should be talked about a lot more than it is, tbh.

in the ludger ending i think ludger either has a full depressive spiral the party need to actively pull him out of until he's functional enough to be ceo or he just puts all his energy into being ceo of spirius and ghosts the entire fucking party for it because if he has to see all of them living their lives while he's haunted by elle and julius' sacrifices he is going to lose it

Today on "Okami Watches G-Witch"!

...WELL.

I just spent...nearly an HOUR on a fucking post for this because there was a LOT a fucking LOT to unpack and go over.

And then when trying to fix a formatting mistake, I hit Ctrl+Z.

And all my words and GIFs just... gone.

FUCK!!!!

Anyway, there was a LOT here. Skull-duggery, clarifications, political machinations (and I had a witty little Gundam-related aside, too T_T) and just...wow.

And at the center of it all, a young woman whose whole fucking world has just shattered into more pieces than there are stars in the sky.
