step one: replace entire personality with open, festering wound

step two: contort absolutely all stimuli in my environment to relate to the my wound in some manner, ideally one which justifies random acts of unbridled aggression and vengeance

step three: marry a girl with generational wealth

the big man is the masculine dom and the dom is the top and the little man is effeminate and transgender but fully passes as a cis man and has top surgery but since he doesnt have bottom surgery he literally has to be a bottom theres no way for someone with a vagina to top and the bottom is the sub and they are both uncomplicatedly homosexual with zero positive emotions for women and they both have adhd and autism but only the kind of autism that doesnt actually disable you and they also crossdress but in a specifically humiliating way (why would a MAN wear a DRESS??? 🤪🤪 etc.) and they live together in a big house that they can both effortlessly afford and they're married and have 2 kids a dog and a cat (because Big man is dog coded and Little man is cat coded) and neither of them have jobs or lasting damage from canon events they've been through or physical disabilities or PTSD that I cant turn into Angsty Ship Content and the sun has a big smiley face and birds are just V shapes on the paper it doesnt have to be more complicated than that you dont have to flesh them out. you dont have to. and if you think about it wouldn't it just be soooo much effort to draw a whole bird?? youre just having fun its mean to ask you for detail. and my teacher lives at the school and the bus driver lives in the bus and everything is exactly the same :)

Thinking about Homusaya's dynamic again

Homura knows on some level that she's messed up, that she's stuck herself in a miserable cycle of trying and failing to save someone she loves, that her wish was driven by a selfish desire to have Madoka love her (she wished to be the one who protects madoka after all, not to simply resurrect her), and now she cant even be close to Madoka because Madoka deserves better. But she can never admit that to herself because to do so would be to give in to despair and become a witch.

So how convenient that Sayaka is here, someone who has made all the Exact same mistakes as Homura, someone who made a selfish wish to save someone so they would love her, someone who can't be close to that person because they feel unworthy, someone who's stuck themselves in a miserable downwards to despair. Someone Homura can take her anger out on and be mad at for doing something so pointlessly stupid.

Homura and Sayaka are the same person and Homura hates her in lieu of hating herself.

Ans every time Sayaka turns into a witch it's Homura watching her own future in the face.

basically the best thing a story can have is a woman who is doomed. massive points if she destroys the people around her in response.

#great news i have a decade in the making horror novel based on this exact premise #or i will. when it is done percolating and ready to take on its final form #original fiction

romanceyourdemons

i’m not going to call myself “the friend who’s too woke” or hedge around my opinion because this is my deeply considered belief: horror literature is the theater of disgust, and the disgust that drives the vast, vast majority of classic horror media from the 1890s-1940s—dracula, jekyll and hyde, king kong, nosferatu, the mummy, universal frankenstein, the wolf man, cthulhu, and more—is the exact disgust that drove the worldwide tide of violence in the 1930s and 40s, a tide that has never fully receded, and you have NO business adapting a piece of classic horror media if you aren’t willing to put in the work to identify what is portrayed as disgusting in that property and enter into some form of dialogue with it. if you don’t want your movie to be “about” race or class or gender or sexuality or ability, you’re free to choose a source material that isn’t already about that, but unluckily for you giant hypersexual apes do not exist in a vacuum

Kind of tone deaf to say “I don’t know why these super strict laws exist to protect wild animals in the United States I didn’t ask for this” when cattle ranchers are successfully pressuring Trump into removing Bison from federal lands as we speak.

We can argue about raising Bison for human consumption instead of cows on federal land all we want, but by all accounts we are missing like 25+ million bison because of their wholesale slaughter over the past few hundred years. They do serve an important ecological function.

You…don’t know why laws exist…to stop people from killing eagles and wolves and bison and coyotes and turtles in the United States?

I’m listening to these podcasts about how private homeowners/landowners can do more to make their lawns better for native wildlife, and one new thing I’d never heard until recently before was plant a bunch of local berry producing bushes. So much is about planting flowers for caterpillars to munch on for birds to eat, or flowers for pollinators.

So why berry producing bushes? Because we killed off bears.

Bears used to eat huge amounts of berries and fish, shit out the seeds, and spread berries around the US just like birds do. Except we killed like 99% of the bears, and we’re doing our best to exterminate the birds as well.

Who thinks of a bear as a creature that distributes seeds (and also technically fertilizer from eating hundreds of pounds of fish a year and then pooping farther inland).

Stupid shit you don’t think about, like missing bears roaming around the whole US, have changed our environment in ways we’re still figuring out.

mini-wrants

It’s one thing to not know why a law exists. Totally fair. We should question why something was written.

But it’s another thing entirely to assume a law was written specifically for you as an individual, and if the law isn’t serving you right here right now, then the law is stupid.

figtreeandvine

With any law/rule you're tempted to break, ask yourself two questions:

Who will it hurt if I break this law?

Who will it hurt if EVERYONE breaks this law?

The second is particularly important in "victimless" crimes, especially wildlife protection.

If I decorate my fabulous hat with heron feathers (that I find while kayaking), that harms no one. If everyone decorates their hat with heron feathers, people are going to start shooting herons to sell their feathers. Soon, no herons.

If I remove that osprey nest from my property after the nesting season, that harms no one. There are plenty of other places for the ospreys to nest. Besides, those nests are eyesores! But if everyone destroys nests off-season, next year there will be fewer good nesting sites, fewer ospreys born and raised to adulthood. Soon, no ospreys.

I am one of everyone, and so are you. If there is a law or rule against an action, odds are good that you're not the first who's wanted to do it.

#another example is wolves which are a keystone species that manages the populations and behaviors of grass eating animals through their #hunting patterns. wolves were nearly driven extinct in around 48 states and there are only about 20 red wolves left in the wild all of which #are in NC. wolves change the geography of the land and the courses of rivers and streams through their hunting patterns. the lack of wolves #has completely disbalanced the trophic levels of so many ecosystems across north america.#wildlife #important.

I actually do think we should discourage women from becoming housewives. Do not become financially dependent on a man. That's how a lot of women ended up dead over the years. A man gets violent suddenly and you have to choose between homelessness or potentially dying at his hand because you have an enormous gap in your resume and no degrees or certifications or anything that will help you pursue a career that will allow you to be financially independent. He owns your bank account. His name is probably the one on the car. Try and leave and he can report it stolen. Where will you go then?

Don't become a housewife.

ladyfoxfire

And if you do become a housewife, take steps to protect yourself. Make sure you’re legally married, for starters; stay-at-home girlfriends have very little legal recourse to claim their partner’s assets in a breakup. Make sure your name is on the house deed/rental agreement, and have your car in your name, even if your spouse is paying for it. Have your spouse transfer money every month into an account solely in your name, so you can buy yourself things without needing permission, but also so you can save up to leave if needed.

If your spouse fights you on any of this, then don’t quit your job. The tradwife to poverty pipeline is real, and so is financial abuse.

dressedupliketheking

also, many women/people experience controlling behaviour and domestic violence from their partner for the first time during pregnancy. don’t risk thinking “he’s just stressed, it’ll get better when the baby comes” because it won’t. neither you and your child will ever be safe with that man. get out as early and safely as you can

#financial abuse is the most widespread and common form of abuse btw #<- good addition.#important.
