honestly what i find most valuable about buffy's relationship with spike is that there is absolutely nobody else that could have followed her through the melting point restructuring phoenix fire ruination and rebirth of her entire life and come out the stronger for it with a bond forged of unbreakable steel except for him. i cannot imagine either angel or riley even coming close to surviving that process. they'd have burned and melted away completely before they ever reached the quenching.

Hmm OK this is kind of a weird one

So, I love it when people post panels from comics here, especially older comics (i.e. not from ongoing series). If you're posting panels with clear and accurate citations, then great. It gets people interested, and allows them to look up the issue and read it for themselves. Great. Fabulous.

But a lot of older comics are filled with racial caricatures in the art and dialogue, and I really don't feel comfortable with just dumping that shit in the tags with no context.

To be clear, I don't think posters should be running interference for Marvel and censoring it. The opposite, I think it's important to know how bad things used to be and still are.

So, if you're scrolling through Sam's tag, you see all this awful art and stereotyped dialogue (white writers idea of how Black Americans talked in the 70s/80s), and the person posting it gives no context and implicitly condones it.

At least, that's how it feels to me. Like we're saying: this is a space where we're cool with racist stuff because if we weren't, we would have said something.

Idk I don't think it's my place to declare what is and isn't offensive wrg to this, but it does bother me, because it looks like endorsement.

sometimes i feel very distant from my childhood, like im looking at it outside of my body, like it didn't happen, i wasn't there; it was something i made up. and when i tell people about it the reaction is always very similar, there's disgust & shock & empathy and i'm very used to it but i think i spent a really big portion of it being manipulated and gaslit into thinking it really wasn't that bad and even in moments of clarity over the years i've felt this huge pain inside of me from some of the worst of it, like years of loneliness and agony come over me and i can't bear to carry the weight of it. and i put myself down for being self absorbed and self pitying but it's all i can do when i was for the longest time, the only person alive who was looking out for me. and anyway the rest of the time i convince myself it wasn't that bad and that it could've been worse.

and today i realised so much of my holding onto trauma, onto pain and anger and sadness and holding onto years and years of suffering, letting it shape who i am, shape my actions, my identity, my future, is really just. i don't want to move on because moving on feels like letting it (the trauma) happen. But it has already happened. ive just convinced myself it hasnt, somehow. like holding on means not accepting it. Like i still havent accepted it or realised what its done to me. my therapist once asked me why i didnt just forgive my mother, or try to have a better relationship with her. and the answer stands to be the same even now 5 years later, that i cant move on from what she did. that forgiving her would feel like letting the things she did to me Become real. even when they are already real.

Jacket

1590-1630

Great Britain

This simple unlined jacket represents an informal style of clothing worn by women in the early 17th century. Unlike more fitted waistcoats, this loose, unshaped jacket may have been worn during pregnancy. A repeating pattern of curving scrolls covers the linen from which spring sweet peas, oak leaves, acorns, columbine, lilies, pansies, borage, hawthorn, strawberries and honeysuckle embroidered in coloured silks, silver and silver-gilt threads. The embroidery stitches include chain, stem, satin, dot and double-plait stitch, as well as knots and couching of the metal threads. Sleeves and sides are embroidered together with an insertion stitch in two shades of green instead of a conventionally sewn seam. Although exquisitely worked, this jacket is crudely cut from a single layer of linen, indicating the work of a seamstress or embroiderer, someone without a tailor's training. It has no cuffs, collar or lining, and the sleeves are cut in one piece. The jacket was later altered to fit a thinner person. The sleeves were taken off, the armholes re-shaped, the sides cut down, and the sleeves set in again.
