I just really fucking hate how twn has worked so hard to reinstall the toxic masculinity into the Witchers. They just went ahead and shat all over the opportunity to construct a sensitive examination of the working class man, their trauma, their vulnerabilities, their flaws and their goodness.

Their honest to fuck goodness.

You know, the men who smile at a little girl to make her feel at ease, the ones who discuss the women and children left behind by war for the monsters, the ones that Ciri thinks fondly of at her lowest.

I really hate the twn interpretation of them . Gives me the ick. Especially when the fucking upper class villains/aristocracy get their storylines sanitised and uwu-ified for sympathy. Are you shittin' me about Eredin right now?

Yes. Feel sorry for the rich elf dude, but those orphan Witchers that were stripped from their homes and experimented on? Nah man, they're just drunk, sexist dudebros in it for le coin. The first one? Yeah, his sob story is he got caught fuckin the wrong person, lololol.

i think the thing about genderbends that gets to me is like. ok imagine a male character- someone makes a female version of them, but why would they look any different?

i see so many genderbends that basically just go "oh women are... women are long hair, and make up, and skirts, skinny and big ol boob :)", and it really bugs me

I'll see like the most crusty ass goofy guy character get genderbended and suddenly they're drawn like some skinny glam hyperfeminine woman and its like??? why cant the woman version also be masculine and crusty and goofy? its like bioessentialism for fandom

made the same poll on twitter. i want to see the difference between my twt followers and here. copy pasted from twitter

You know that thing where rad//fems are like "oh patriarchy says men better than women so I'm going to say women better than men" and then they just end up replicating the patriarchy? Or where Christian-raised atheists are like "actually I want to get rid of ALL religion" and they just end up replicating Christian supremacy because they refuse to protect minority religions?

I feel like a similar thing happens in a lot of neurodivergent communities, and specifically with ADHD/autistic-dominant neurodivergent communities, when they talk about communication styles.

"I hate the way neurotypical people communicate, they're so unclear and hard to understand and they never say things in a way other people can understand and it would be so much better if they just said what they meant."

Okay, read that over again, and replace "neurotypical" with "nonverbal autistic." Kinda fucked up, right? Sounds like something an ableist person would say?

The issue with That Type of neurotypical communication style is that it has very little compassion. It is rigid and only wants to communicate with itself - it does not want to be compassionate for anyone who does not communicate that same way.

The issue is not that neurotypical people "don't know how to say what they mean" or "try to play mind games," because if that were the issue, then neurotypical people wouldn't complain about the same thing when it comes from a neurodivergent person.

Communication is hard, man. Even if you remove the intricacies of tone and body language, words on paper rarely say exactly what the person is trying to tell; add back in the physicality of communicating face to face and it becomes so much harder. No neurotype is immune to omitting information, trying not to be rude in a way that may be perceived as more rude, or bungling word choice, just as no neurotype is immune to misinterpreting things, reading into meaningless signals, or not noticing important nuances in the delivery.

What's important, then, is to have compassion for the person who may not know how to best communicate to you. This is also going to solve other problems, too, because communication issues can stem from any number of factors: different neurotypes, yes, but also different socioeconomic standings, cultural backgrounds, level of education, gender and/or sex, etc. Communication is a hugely social thing, which makes it something people are socialized to do, and when you have vastly different socializations, you'll probably end up miscommunicating a lot.

And here's the thing: Not everyone who communicates in bad faith is neurotypical, and not everyone who is neurotypical communicates in bad faith. You may think someone is neurotypical because they don't communicate in a way you register as "neurodivergent," especially if your image of "neurodivergent communication" is synonymous with "the most commonly misunderstood traits in austistic/ADHD communication styles," which is not an accurate portrayal of what "neurodivergent communication" looks like.

okay but legitimately when and where the fuck did this new "The" AroAce flag come from, and more importantly why the FUCK is it orange and blue. like not even as a callback to a previous aro flag (bright orange/green one) because it's neither the correct orange and also the old one has no blue on it?????

I legitimately thought it was some sort of alternate Gay Masc flag the first three dozen times I saw it and I still can't actually believe this has become commonplace without me noticing until the past few weeks?

but seriously. the green and purple were RIGHT! THERE!

anyways. holding linebeck gently

[eowynstwin]

madi. I love you. I love all of your works and I love how you stick up for your friends all the time. I'm not saying all this to spew hate shit next. I just want you to know I don't mean any of it in a condescending way.

so what if people make ghost out to be sugar daddy? so what if they don't know about the realism of military or a how much a "lieutenant" salary is? you don't have to shit on other people's choices just cause it doesn't align with yours. I'm sure your post is a result of too specific or too self indulgent hc asks you received. but you don't have to generalise it and come for people just cause they decided to perceive him differently. and honestly, there are too many fucked up hcs for ghost for you mock people for this one. it's not like I'm going to assume my knowledge about british military based on a poorly researched fanfic I read on tumblr. it's just the part of fandom experience. it's not even a harmful one for you to make a post about it on your sideblog that has so many followers. it's just gonna make people bad about themselves.

Well, I assume you know where the unfollow button is. God forbid I laugh about something I think is silly.

Thou art sufficient. Thou wilt be chosen.

He tried to open his mouth to speak, but—since none of this was truly real, or truly words—no sound came through.

Something raised into the air above him, which was the first time he was able to conceptualize his position—the object itself was indistinct, white and gold– 

–and then it slammed down, cutting straight through his chest, and if he could move, he would have gasped and seized. It wasn’t pain exactly—or, it wasn’t just physical pain—it was something knifing through his heart and mind, tearing it open, a wave of screaming, howling emotion– 

The spear of white and gold removed itself, somehow, but it left something behind. A golden spike, still impaling him, the area around it rapidly soaking through with crimson.

What was not needed hast been removed. It would only have serve to upset thee.

What… was he… he fought to claw back the shreds of whatever-it-was being taken from him, but it was like grabbing at smoke. He’d been… trying to say something… he was… what was… going on…? He couldn’t recall… how had he gotten here? Why was he here?

This must be… what was meant to happen. If… he couldn’t remember being anywhere else… this must be where he was supposed to be.

He ceased fighting.

YOU: What does it think it’s doing! Look at what a mess it’s made, here! This is why you leave these things to the experts—and look at this! These edges are so ragged, it’s a wonder anything’s still there—

US: Well, leave it. There is something there. Mess around with it more and you’re just going to make it worse.

ME: No, no, you can’t just leave it like that… he’s going to be so miserable.

YOU: Let’s tidy up what’s left, at least.

More piercing stabs, these almost surgical in nature, cleaning the ragged edges of the wound, sewing it closed to stop the bleeding—

ME: Hey, don’t just throw that out—

–adding a certain finality to the missing piece.

ME: I don’t think this is a good idea… I think you might do more harm than…

US: Well, it’s done now. You should stop fussing and let him go.

YOU: The Creator better have a very good reason for doing all this. Or else, we, you and I will have words with it.
