finished hera & started lady macbeth and we have got to start blaming women for shit again for real
#this is a joke. but.#if i have to read one more retelling~ that’s just#‘but what if the woman was ASSAULTED ALL THE TIME and had NO AGENCY so everything bad she did was JUSTIFIED or a LIE???’ please stop#when you’re actively taking agency away from women written and portrayed in deeply patriachal cultures you’re not giving them a voice#youre taking the voice they had away.#women worked around and within the patriarchy while having feelings and ambitions and wants and dreams and flaws and virtues forever.#without the necessity of ‘but what if the MAN in her life was just SUPER EVIL and NOT NUANCED and she was just ASSAULTED’#what if no women wanted anything but SAFETY ever what if they were never power hungry or jealous or predatory ever themselves?#yes circe did this too if i have to see one more person say ‘oh except circe’ i will scream.#circe is literally like. the worst offender here.#pivoting back though sorry but it also all feels very bioessentialist PRESUMABLY without meaning to but ‘oh men are just inherently evil#with no nuance. nuance is for women and by nuance we mean was just super oppressed and wronged’ is uh haha actually terfy as fuck#good ol lady macunsexmeherebeth who definitely didn’t plot the whole thing to begin with for sure needs to be Given a Voice#i haven’t finished this one yet btw. i like this author’s work on the whole i just think this one is a swing and a miss because like.#this is not a woman who didn’t do anything and who didn’t have a voice.#if you want to show us her perspective in terms of her psychology and her inner workings and how she got to this place excellent wonderful#but not when the answer is just ‘but actually nothing was her fault ever!!!!!!’ like. lol let her want that crown for reasons that aren’t#my husband is abusive.#like oh my god.#same with hera you’re gonna go with the ONE tradition where she didn’t want to marry zeus#and all her rage is just about Injustice and the Patrairchy and not actual envy. okay.#she & zeus were an og most toxic couple of all time but they WERE in virtually all tradition a couple still who had times of reconciliation#and attachment.#like you know. actual toxic and abusive relationships do.#also it completely erased rhea who was actually the character whose story this more closely resembled#(warrior goddess with flop husband she finally schemes against)#instead she just. uh. went away oh no hera’s so afraid of being weak like mama she must break the cycle.#like okay this is the story you want to tell stop superimposing it on mythical entities from thousands of years ago then.#justice4rhea.#okay sorry. end rant.

My therapist told me today that I'm one of her patients who's made the most progress in the last two years and honestly I have a feeling I'm getting a good grade at therapy

I don’t cry often but dear god. I’m crying over her.
#We were friends for five years you dumb bitch.#The fall fr started over Halloween costumes bc she said we could match then when we were actually shopping#She prioritized her boyfriend over me but not even in a way we still could have matched#And she said I was unreasonable for being upset#But I finally had friends who would have done it#Then EVERYONE FUCKING FLAKED#and crush still tried but things wouldn’t have been shipped in time#Then this girl had the audacity to say everything she did when we argued#One of the girls who she claims is her best friend recently got home from a half year in the mental hospital#And they have had a total of two outings or hangouts#Then her other friend. Who she really only hung out with during her fight with cancer and not after that#But she would see me regularly#Until a month before we argued#And now I’m crying because I thought she was good#But looking back#And looking from an outsiders perspective#She’s horrivle#I know she doesn’t know my account here but gods I wish she did#L if you’re reading this. You’re a bitch. You’re a terrible friend. So unless you’re willing to change and be honest and better.#Dont talk to me. Don’t message me. Don’t come to see me at lunch or ask me to hang out.#Because I’m unwilling to work on a relationship where I’ll always be second to her boyfriend.#Sure. I have crush. But that doesn’t mean I prioritize her over my best friend. I hold them equally.#But you don’t and you never did.#L if you see this#know I’ve cried too many times over you#And I don’t think I could stop myself from arguing if I ever actually talk to you again

not telling anyone what to do but I kinda miss when the understanding abt multiple pronouns used to be that any are fine or different ones apply in different contexts whereas now the default assumption is you need to be constantly switching between them per sentence like that is really inaccessible for a lot of people + difficult in a second language + just genuinely defeats the linguistic object of a pronoun 😭
but I think it came from being a tme she/they who no one ever uses they for which I understand the frustration but i wish we could approach the root causes of that rather than the way I've seen ppl claim not alternating pronouns for someone midsentence is literally misgendering & honestly at the end of the day if you don't want someone to use she pronouns for you, tell them not to use she pronouns! we were all pronouns=/=gender until its "they to show I don't identify with the institution of womanhood, she to show my connection with femininity" but honestly how do you actually like being referred to, worry abt that. if u actually don't like ppl using she to refer to u then tell them that & if the discomfort is bc it shows their perception of u doesn't align w ur gender then like performative language doesnt actually change that anyway so mb if we stopped worrying about this we could actually have way more worthwhile conversations about gender.

right, so on the one hand, the results of that "does charlotte have a soul or not" poll would be a punch to the gut for char ( it was a NO majority ), but on the other hand, what would make her happy is to see . . . ( that is, what I'm noticing ) is how over the years, more of you guys are having your muses refer to her as "char." it's such a small detail, but it's so neat to see what was essentially shorthand only used for her in ooc context gradually begin to show up more often in actual threads / ic - dialogue.
#I'm just surprised it's changed to the point where it /is/ noticeable.#There was a point where “char” really as what she was called only in ooc context#Otherwise it was either Charlotte or no name mentioned at all#Which makes sense seeing as she doesn't introduce or even refer to herself as Char . She /never/ does#(She doesn't stop people who get her mixed up and consistently call her the wrong name either)#(But that's besides the point)#Which means that to call her Char... you first have to RETAIN that Charlotte's her name#Then I suppose you'd also have to /know/ her well enough to get the feeling that Char suits her as a nickname#(ie. as opposed to charlie/lottie or keeping to the full name Charlotte)#and FINALLY you'd have to be /comfortable/ !! enough to actually call her by that nickname ... not out of convenience but /bc/ it suits her#like I said - it's just this minuscule detail but it's cool to see from a writing perspective#especially to come out of collaborative rp writing#it's the whole /we/ know her as char but the characters don't unTIL they decide to and it's got that:#“my name is so-and-so but my friends call me this-and-that”#EXCEPT char would rarely if /ever/ think that she'd actually be able to assert smth like that aside from being coy and facetious about it#More like “I'm Charlotte but The Primordial Void That Created and Haunts Me calls me Charlie”#Anyways! just both me and charlotte squealing and kicking our feet whenever someone refers to her as Char ic#pretty cool pretty cool

I should really reread oots at this point, not just for Dovewing but so that I can be a biiit more charitable to Ivypool because she's a legitimately great character in that arc. It's just that avos Ivypool is front and center in my mind right now and she reminds me of personal stuff so I'm inclined to not like her. Also she's just a worse character overall

every single episode of attack on titan season 4 is basically saying in bright flashing neon letters ‘do not demonise people who seem different to you. you are the same in all the ways that matter. painting others as evil only leads to senseless violence, which causes more violence in turn until you are trapped in an endless cycle of it’ and yet somehow all the crunchyroll comments are full of people like ‘eren did nothing wrong’ ‘i hope someone kills gabi’ ‘marleyans deserve to die because they struck first’ like oh my godd oh my god oh my fucking god. did the wind part your hair when the point sailed over your head

was watching the new micthesnare video about midnights and this comment, i think, is a really interesting perspective on it, but also articulates why the album (and 10 min all too well) didn’t fully work for me:
Tumblr media
i just don’t think i care about her looking back on her life if she’s just going to retread the same sort of musicality while she does it. i do actually want to hear her mature perspective on what she’s been through (would’ve could’ve should’ve is one of the best songs on midnights for this very reason). but it doesn’t feel like a new, mature take, if her music isn’t maturing also, and a lot of the musicality on midnights just felt like reputation/lover b-sides to me. i think she’s still a bit hesitant about showing her uglier, more honest emotions in her lyrics without, like, adding a caveat or a shield to remind us that she’s likeable and a decent person, (which is her right, whatever), but it keeps that new perspective from being interesting. at least in the way she’s currently presenting it.
i think this comment is right, i just don’t think that her doing this has added anything to her artistry. as micthesnare points out in the video: it feels like a lateral step, rather than a forward one.
