i think MORE characters should be rape survivors. i think more characters should be csa survivors. i think more characters should be dv survivors. i think strong and noble and attractive and charming and brilliant characters with indomitable spirits should be survivors. i think the most powerful characters in the world should be survivors. i think characters who are cultural icons should be survivors. i think victims and survivors should see ourselves in the most admirable and beloved characters around! i think we should be protagonists!!!

#‘it’s so unnecessary’ . okay . god yea this one drives me CRAZY. people will yap all day long about how it's "unnecessary" to make a character a survivor like do you think it was necessary for any of us to be abused or raped irl? was it narratively essential? did it teach the audience an important lesson? why do we, who have to justify our experiences and existences and reactions all the time in real life, also have to justify why we should exist in fiction? people act so repulsed by the thought of us. i've really fully and truly had enough of that. there is nothing so uniquely disgusting or repulsive or unspeakable about our victimhood or our survival that justifies this obsession with keeping the reality of our existence hidden

"oh but talking about it can be triggering for victims :(((" you know what else is triggering? living in a world that insists that we cannot be open and honest about what happened to us. maybe if we had, oh, i don't know, prominent examples in our cultural stories of people who are victims and are competent and strong it might be easier (for everyone, not just victims) to have the discussions we actually need to have about our trauma.

#every time i see ppl talk like its a Moral Crime or whatever that dick grayson is a rape survivor #i get like. so genuinely upset lmao #dick grayson is a widely beloved character. a cultural icon #HE is who 90% of the world thinks of when they hear 'batman and robin'#he is a character who in-universe is widely considered one of the best heroes on the planet #out of universe he regularly makes the top 5 of Greatest Superheroes Of All Time lists #he is smart and strong and powerful. an insanely good fighter. sharp as a whip. detective abilities on par with batman #he's known for his leadership skills and his compassion and for being a hero in every sense of the word #and he is also a rape survivor #and that means more to me than i can ever put into words #and i get viscerally upset when ppl look me in the face and tell me oh actually it's wrong and bad and dirty that dick grayson is like you!#i know i am preaching to the fuckin choir here #both in terms of my followers and in leaving this in the tags of a post by tumblr user DickGraysonsPTSD #but man. man.#dick is so important to me as a survivor and i really wish people would stop acting like him being a survivor is some kind of #horrible awful bad choice on behalf of the writers #when imo it is a choice that is both 1) extraordinarily kind to survivors and 2) makes a TON of sense for his character #i am cutting myself off right here and now before this turns into a full analysis on why it makes narrative sense for dick to be a survivor #anyway good post op #... it is possible i have left functionally these exact tags on this exact post before #i am too tired to check. anyway. tags be upon ye

Sometimes, fanfiction is carefully plotted out stories, with plot points and call backs and themes that all tie it up in a meaningful and exciting way.

And sometimes fanfiction is, ‘Watch me do a fucking KICK FLIP off this cool sentence!! Also here's some sex'

Both are beautiful forms of writing.

“You think every citizen should have access to free and accessible healthcare?”

Wrong!!!

I think that Asylum seekers and Migrant workers and The Undocumented and Everyone Else should get free healthcare too

I love immigration

This one made the fascists and the racists really really mad. I get hate mail daily for this post

Imagine getting mad because someone else’s child’s chemotherapy doesn’t cost them 100,000$ .

the belief i have in my ability to carry any amount of stuff home if i am equipped with my backpack and two reusable totes is hubristic to a degree that the achaeans fighting at troy could only have dreamed of
