has anyone noticed that after the porn ban of 2018 tumblr was essentially killed from the mainstream and everyone flocked to other social media sites like twitter and meta. then those sites got enshittified to where twitter became Nazi Central and meta sites had an entire meme around getting âzuccedâ aka mark zuckerberg himself would ban you for saying a no-no word like fuck. and then the mainstream shifted to tiktok where infamous toddlerspeak sentences like âhe got unalived by a pew pewâ were born because if you once again say a no-no word like kill or gun or any other word that isnât corporate i mean kid friendly then the algorithm will bury your post into the ground. and somehow weâve come full circle and tumblr is now the most bearable social media site because although we canât have female presenting nipples we can at least talk to each other like adults. has anyone noticed that at all or is it just me and the flaming skull
sometimes i wonder what my cat named me

The Matriarch Isnât the Villain. Sheâs the Mirror
I often hear a discourse where Celine in K-pop Demon Hunters, Alma in Encanto and Ming in Turning Red are seen as vilains. Theyâre the ones who restricted the younger generation, hurt them, and are ultimately responsible for their pain, trauma and self-doubt. Theyâre framed as the real villains of the story. But Iâd like to differ.
These are stories of intergenerational trauma. They are women who survived, repressed, and tried to protect their families the only way they knew how: through control, perfectionism, and emotional suppression.
And yet, when the next generation begins to reclaim joy, freedom, softness â they become the obstacle. Not because theyâre bad people, but because theyâre scarred. Their minds cling to survival strategies, unable to recognize that the environment has changed.
Alma is still stuck fleeing the colonizers.
Ming is still afraid of her true self.
Celine believes that fear and mistakes must be hidden.
Itâs not about hating these characters. Itâs about how unprocessed trauma twists love into control. How survival, unexamined, turns into rigidity. These women were never given space to process their own pain and they project it onto their daughters and granddaughters.
And hereâs something we rarely say enough: intergenerational trauma can create toxic patterns but that doesnât always mean there was abuse or conscious harm. Even when their love becomes suffocating or controlling, these women are not necessarily âabusive parents.â They are daughters of silence, fear, and sacrifice. And they were never taught another way. Itâs important to make that distinction, especially in a world that often pushes a binary, punitive reading of family dynamics.
Theyâre the product of a generation that was told to endure. But endurance without healing becomes its own kind of violence.
Whatâs powerful in these stories is that they donât end in vengeance. They end in confrontation and transformation. The confrontation is necessary: the younger generation refuses the silence. Refuses the shame. Refuses to carry a burden that wasnât theirs to begin with.
The house is destroyed in Encanto.
Mei accepts her full self.
So does Rumi.
And in the best cases, this confrontation allows the elder to soften too. Alma opens up. Ming listens. And Iâm hoping in the sequel, Celine will open too.
Maybe thatâs also why these stories speak so deeply to POC audiences. These arenât stories about cutting ties. Theyâre stories about how hard it is to transform them, to protect ancestral bonds while refusing to perpetuate inherited pain. In many racialized families, collectivity, loyalty, and intergenerational duty are sacred... even when they come at the cost of personal boundaries.
And sometimes, Western individualist frameworks read these tensions as dysfunction or villainy. But for us, theyâre just the difficult truth of growing up and trying to do better.
These women arenât villains. That would be too easy. They embody the fragile, necessary work of bringing change without breaking the thread. These stories are about refusing to inherit their pain without reflection. Because love, without accountability, is not enough.
These stories show us that each generation has something to learn from the next. And the new generation must also break free from the chains they inherited while preserving what is meaningfull.
But itâs not just their story.
One day, weâll be the older generation.
And weâll need to be humble enough to learn from the ones after us.
So donât be a fool.
We may be Mei, Rumi, or Mirabel today.
But tomorrow, we could be Ming, Celine, or Alma.
And when that time comes, weâll realize how hard it is to unlearn what once kept us safe.
So letâs have compassion for all these characters.
Because these stories show us not just how the cycle of generations works, but how it can make us better, stronger, and more connected... if weâre all willing to go through the change.

edit (07/08/25): Thanks to several kind Colombian commenters and reblogs, Iâve learned that the historical context shown in Encanto is more likely tied to the Thousand Daysâ War, a brutal civil war rather than direct colonial violence. I initially framed Abuelaâs trauma through the lens of colonialism, which was a mistake. The real context is deeply rooted in internal ideological conflict. As a South asian viewer, Iâm very grateful to those who shared insights ! I encourage readers to check the comments and reblogs for more historical nuance and brilliant perspectives đ§Ą
And thank you to everyone who shared, commented and interacted on this post !
Sinners. you agree.
Sorry but I couldn't leave this in the notes because this is gonna be my new reaction image for this kind of insanity
Itâs me. Iâm the problem hehe
