[faheys]

We all talk about the mother-son relationship between Molly and Harry but barely of McGonagall and Harry

McGonagall spent hours spying on the Dursley’s and didn’t want Harry to be put in their care

she bought him a Nimbus 2000 with her own money and since it was new at the time, it must’ve cost a lot

she put Harry on the quidditch team without checking with Oliver Wood and if it had been another student who was caught flying, they would have been expelled on the spot

she defended Harry in front of Umbridge “He has achieved high marks in all Defence Against the Dark Arts tests set by a competent teacher”

“Potter. I will assist you to become an Auror if it is the last thing I do! If I have to coach you nightly I will make sure you achieve the required results!”

when Amycus spat at McGonagall, Harry cast the cruciatus curse on him which worked meaning Harry truly meant it, and when McGonagall called him foolish, Harry replied as if his actions didn’t need explanation 

“The scream was the more terrible because he had never expected or dreamed that Professor McGonagall could make such a sound” when McGonagall thought Harry was dead 

she was one of the first to reach Harry when he defeated Voldemort

GoT Season 5 & Sexism: Part 5

A critical analysis of Game of Thrones Season 5. Part 5 covers Trope #8: “All women are catty” and Trope #9: “Beauty is never tarnished.”

To read about the ambivalent sexism framework employed, please see Part 1. 

Trope #8: All women are catty (hostile sexism; competitive gender differentiation, intimate heterosexuality)

This sexist trope is based on the assumption that women are always in competition with one another, because their mode of operation is based around getting a man. With intimate heterosexuality being needed to complete them, exclusive male attention becomes their ultimate goal, inherently pitting them against other women who are vying for the same thing. If a man strays from his woman, it is her fault, because she lost out to another woman. And of course, women are not mature enough to snap out of this dynamic, unlike “bros before hoes.”

GoT showrunners Benioff and Weiss (D&D) are fond of this trope. And in Season 5, they gave it to us several times over. In fact, with the exception of Daenerys and Missandei, I don’t think there was one instance of positive interaction between two women (maybe…the North Remembers Lady and Sansa? Olenna making homophobic jokes to Marg? I’m trying here).

Sansa found herself in a love triangle with Myranda over Ramsay Bolton. Which seems absolutely ridiculous in and of itself (it’s Ramsay. Bolton.). And yet, there kind of was legitimate competition. Like, Myranda was totally able to “make Ramsay hers,” which Sansa was attempting herself. Plus in the end, it was Myranda that Sansa stood up to without being immediately cowed, and only Myranda; that was her moment of empowerment for the season. Telling her “competition” that she was okay dying. And wasn’t it a cheer-worthy moment when Myranda “got hers,” because that girl had been SO mean and was definitely not like, an abuse victim herself or anything.

Some of my favorites:

Cursor*10  - little game where you have several “lives”. you use your cursor to navigate the floors, and when the time runs out, you go back to the beginning. however, the previous cursors will go through the same path they made before, thus allowing you to get further each time.

Daymare Town - creepy point and click game. very inky, interesting drawings. you have to find your way through (or perhaps out of) Daymare Town, which is inhabited by obscure prickly people.

Grid Game - there are a bunch of little circles. click one, and watch it rotate and set off a chain reaction. mindless distraction game.

Samsara Room - a strange escape game where you’re stuck in one room but pass through different dimensions to get out

i saw her standing there - zombie love story. super cute. there’s a sequel too.

Feed the Head - more like interactive art than anything. there are several different things to do in this game.

Factory Balls - a bit of a puzzle game. you have to paint a bunch of balls to match the model shown, using various options and paints. 

Grow Nano Vol. 3 - one of my favorites of the Grow series. you have to click the options in the right order in order to make the sick person feel better. this one just warms my heart.

make sure to click the tags to find more games by the creators and companies and the rest of the games in the series!!!

[wakingfromthewater]

I find Tonypa’s games to be simple, unique, and enjoyable.  A lot of them involve patterns, colors, and matching, so they’re very calming as well.

[thegeminisage]

some from me!!

deep thinking games with exploration themes…

6 differences - a pretty cool find the difference game that’s very atmospheric and somewhat soothing in the first levels, mostly takes place at night around a city, features sound effects and music and even moving cars down the highways. content warning for some surrealism and acid-trippy effects in the later levels (a person with a deer head, some kind of alarming music, the level’s walls moving as you look for the differences, etc - sometimes the level changes after you find all but one clue, and in one instance a train goes by rather suddenly and loudly, but it didn’t make me jump and i am sensitive to jump scares)

i can hold my breath forever - a game about exploring underwater caves in search of a friend. some references to drowning!

i wish i were the moon - short and sweet game about two people and a moon! clone things and move them around to get different endings :3

small words - a soothing platformed-style exploration game that lets you uncover different maps/pictures as you walk around

don’t look back - a creepy game based on the myth of orpheus and eurydice, this is a platformer-style game that has you going to the underworld to get your lover back. very atmospheric, but a slightly creepy atmosphere that (of course) references death, so take care

alight in dreams - during a dream you get wings, and explore the dream to find out about the history of a person who has never dreamed before. mentions death and suicide.

a house in california - explore an old house and learn its history, very atmospheric. can be a bit confusing for some, you may need a walkthrough.

silent conversation - a soothing game that makes levels out of passages of classic books; you win by toughing every word. not my preferred reading material, but the way the levels are built kind of force you to drink it all in stead of speeding through it. 

games that are a bit creepy…

prior - you, a little box creature, wake without your memories in an unknown place. you must explore to find your family and figure out what happened before you woke. a dark game with multiple possibilities - can be a little creepy.

immorTall - an alien makes friends with a human family after crashlanding to earth. defend them as long as possible!

loved - a dark sort of game where you go through the levels deciding if you will choose to obey the voice giving you orders or defy it. in some casing obeying makes things easier, but in other cases the voice asks you to make things hard on yourself - throwing yourself onto spikes so you have to start over, etc. sometimes it is almost impossible to do what the voice asks. (serious warning for emotional manipulation, just to be safe - the question at the start will purposefully misgender you depending on your answer, and continue to do so throughout the game, but, depending on your actions, will then correct the mistake at the end.)

one chance - a kind of dark game; in the impending apocalypse you have one chance to decide what to do with the rest of your life. there are many endings, but you really do only have one chance…refreshing the page will not let you play again! content warning for death,suicide, impending doom, hopelessness, etc

every day the same dream - another fatalistic game with multiple endings, but this one allows you to find them all. same warnings as the one above.

elude - a metaphorical representation of depression. dark melancholy levels, nice atmosphere, but can be a little moody.

symon - you play as an elderly man stuck in a hospital bed. you sleep to dream and relive your past. this game is pretty much endless and features endless combinations of the same tasks, to reflect what that sort of life might be like. cw for death and end-life blues.

now for some lighter ones…

pizza king 2 - i found this sim where you run your own pizza shop weirdly addictive. food cw, of course, and it’s the only sim on here because they usually aren’t my thing, but, well.

boomshine & obechi - two colorful games where a well-placed click will start a chain reaction and see how many points you can collect!

filler - a similar concept to the ones above

music bounce - release bouncing balls to hit platforms to get the perfect rhythm!

dropsum & dropsum colors - math games where you combine numbers to eliminate them. you can choose where to drop the numbers, turn the board, and use powerups! (dropsum colors isn’tloading for me rn, but it might for you)

first person tetris - you spin with the tetris blocks! fun for pros, but it can make you dizzy.

flash tron - a recreation of the original tron game as seen in the movies. here you can play with others online!

dolphin olympics - super fun game where you swim and do tricks as a dolphin to score as many points as you can in two minutes. there’s also a freeplay mode. if you jump high enough, you may even see the moon ouo

mirror’s edge 2d - i adore the 3d version of this game for ps3, but if you don’t have access, you can play the mini/2d version. no real story, but it’s a very challenging game with rad animation!

bubble tanks tower defense - pretty fun tower defense game that doesn’t get old too quickly.

bloons - i started playing the tower defense game, but they’re all pretty fun and complex. scroll down a bit and click any of the ones under “bloons games”

elephant games - a sort-of series with gems like “achievement unlocked” & sequels (where there is no objective except to complete all the achievements) and “this is the only level” (where you go through the same level many different ways). you grow to be quite fond of the little guy. :’D

some of these i haven’t played in awhile! i pulled from my bookmarks, because i used to spend all day curating links to these things. if i’ve missed a content warning PLEASE feel free to contact me about it or add it yourself!

GoT Season 5 & Sexism: Part 4

A critical analysis of Game of Thrones Season 5. Part 3 covers Trope #6: “Weaponized sexuality/nudity = empowerment” and Trope #7: “Badass women aren’t feminine.”

To read about the ambivalent sexism framework employed, please see Part 1.

Trope #6: Weaponized sexuality/nudity = empowerment (Hostile sexism; heterosexual hostility & intimacy)

In Part 3 of this essay series, we covered how women with their “feminine skillz” are at a disadvantage in a man’s world, hence why they’re often damsels in distress and need of rescue. However, there exists one fun, sexist way that a woman can exert power with her womanliness: by being a seductress and using her body to manipulate men. You see, this is because women are viewed as sexual objects for men’s benefit, so their sexual autonomy is something that should be feared, especially given its capacity to control men. This is the assumption that feeds into the Madonna-Whore complex as well, a trope I shall be covering in a later section.

Because weaponizing her body is one of the only ways for a woman to gain control, nudity and overt displays of sexuality become her sources of empowerment. And this is something showrunners Benioff and Weiss (D&D) completely buy into, which was especially present in Season 5.

The most obvious example of this trope’s employ is with Tyene, in the now infamous bewb scene. Here, D&D had one of the Sand Snakes poison Bronn, then flash her boobs at him to apparently quicken his heart-rate (because it totally wasn’t elevated from the fight where he got injured), and then after he gave her a compliment, she tossed the antidote at him, rendering the scene completely pointless. This was supposedly an act of empowerment on the part of Tyene: fishing for flattery and using her exposed breasts as a weapon. Because according to D&D, “badass women” require validation from men about their physical appearance, even if it’s only given by a man facing death.

GoT Season 5 & Sexism: Part 3

A critical analysis of Game of Thrones Season 5. Part 3 covers Trope #4: “Damsel in Distress” and Trope #5: “Damned by Comparison.”

To read about the ambivalent sexism framework employed, please see Part 1.

Trope #4: Damsel in Distress (Benevolent Sexism; protective paternalism, complementary gender differentiation)

Like infantilization, this trope plays into the concept that “men act, women are.” However instead of needing things explained to them, here women need literal rescue by men because they are incapable of helping themselves (often physically). The men just want to help and protect their women, and this trope empowers them to do so while casually stripping women of their own agency in the process.

Benioff and Weiss’s (D&D’s) Season 5 of Game of Thrones (GoT) used this trope in spades. In their world, of course Sansa wouldn’t actually be able to free herself from the castle that she knows more intimately than anyone else there: she needs to ask Theon to help her, or stand with a tiny-ass candle waiting for her rescuer to come. This was literal “princess in a tower” imagery…perhaps the most obvious and iconic form of “damsel in distress.”

The best that can be said about Sansa’s need of rescue is that it was Brienne, a woman, who would be theoretically doing the saving, which seemingly subverts the protective paternalism and complementary gender differentiation inherent in this trope. However to that I’ll tell you to wait for the upcoming “empowered women aren’t feminine” section. Brienne’s character has been stripped of her womanhood and made intentionally masculine, so despite her physical sex, the damsel in distress trope is still largely in play.

In Which Diversity Isn't a Myth

Ok. I’m tired of the typical vampire, werewolf and fairy.I’m also tired of the occidental-centrism in mythology. Hence, this list. 

I tried to included as many cultural variants as I could find and think of. (Unfortunately, I was restricted by language. Some Russian creatures looked very interesting but I don’t speak Russian…) Please, add creatures from your culture when reblogging (if not already present). It took me a while to gather all those sites but I know it could be more expansive. I intend on periodically editing this list. 

Of note: I did not include specific legendary creatures (Merlin, Pegasus, etc), gods/goddesses/deities and heroes.
