I think I am officially Fandom Old. I am so worn out from the arguments on who's the top or the bottom (who cares), what is allowed to be written (anything you want, bejeebus), what is Problematic (I know, just tag it), what other people Should Do (they Should live their lives free of judgment). There isn't a Right Way to do things. Tag your stuff appropriately, don't read stuff you don't want to read, and leave other people (me) alone.
There is nothing quite like the freedom of having gone through all of the Discourse and come out the other side into the promised land of Not Giving A Fuck.
my advice for women is eat more, shave less, and do whatever the fuck you want
yeah actually we removed the big bad wolf from the little red riding hood story because portraying violence against minors is really messed up. yeah. yeah also the wolf narrative was really predatory and had had some icky grooming vibes and a fable meant for literal children shouldnāt have implied p*do shit and grape so now little red riding hood goes into the woods and nothing happens and she goes to grandmaās house. donāt worry our kids will still stick to the path and know not to follow to wolves implicitly because we told them to and children should always do as their told. just like little red riding hood does now.

āBut I didnāt and still donāt like making a cult of womenās knowledge, preening ourselves on knowing things men donāt know, womenās deep irrational wisdom, womenās instinctive knowledge of Nature, and so on. All that all too often merely reinforces the masculinist idea of women as primitive and inferior ā womenās knowledge as elementary, primitive, always down below at the dark roots, while men get to cultivate and own the flowers and crops that come up into the light. But why should women keep talking baby talk while men get to grow up? Why should women feel blindly while men get to think?ā
ā Ursula K. Le Guin
Jo in Little Women: "I find it poor logic to say that because women are good, women should vote. Men do not vote because they are good; they vote because they are male, and women should vote, not because we are angels and men are animals, but because we are human beings and citizens of this country."

i have really great news guys, despite it all
to everyone reblogging this and saying that youāre the exception, or this will never apply to you, you are not alone. back when I made that first text post I felt the same way. but something I realized in between the first half and second half of this post is that it starts with you. it starts with wanting to be done with the misery. it is so much easier to give in to whatever mental health issues youāre dealing with, especially in a world that is built against us. however it is so worth it to not give in. it is so worth it to do things that make you feel good even though it can feel impossible to start. itās so worth it to fail at something because at least it means you tried.
getting yourself out of the hole is hard, and can feel damn near impossible at your lowest. but it isnāt impossible. i am living proof of this. nobody is responsible for your emotions but you, and if you want to be happy, you have to create your happiness. do whatever you can to surround yourself with joy. not hedonism, but actual joy. accomplishments, good relationships, engagement in healthy hobbies and habits. it can be hard, thereās no denying it, i still struggle myself sometimes. the reward is so worth it. feeling like youāre the best version of yourself is so worth it.
to quote the queen kali uchis: i know itās hard, but did you even really try?
Ask yourself: do you really want to not live at all, or do you not want to live the life you currently feel trapped in? Do you simply see no other realistic option? It is not a choice between eternal suffering and death.
That is not to say that things arenāt bad where you are now- odds are, your distress is valid, and things are horrible to get you to this point. But the odds also are that you DO want to live! And keep holding on, because things will never get the chance to change if you donāt live to see it!
Things are really scary and dangerous right now, but what the powers that be WANT us to do is give up. Find a reason to keep living- even if it is simply out of spite. Find something to look forward to, no matter how small: a game or movie coming out, petting more cats/dogs/other animals, anything that helps you keep going.
Youāre going through hell right now- but why would you stop in hell? Keep going.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
i think taylor swift wishes she was bisexual because she knows it would make her slightly more money. whereas sabrina carpenter wishes she was bisexual so she could have sex with someone who looks exactly like herself. and ariana grande wishes she was bisexual because she did too many designer drugs on the set of wicked and now she has kin memories of being glinda for real
full offense but none of you would have ever survived fanfiction.net in 2009
remember when writers had to be all like: āomg omg lemon starts HEREā yāall are lucky that ao3 has tagsĀ and filtersĀ you can set

Caitlyn hitting Vi with the "what about us? š„ŗ" less than 48hrs into this situationship is so real though
"the timeline throws me for a loop" "this happened way too fast" NO!!! I SAID WHAT I SAID
You're an early twenties lesbian who breaks a cute butch dyke out of prison - she's got broad shoulders, huge biceps, big wet puppydog eyes, a fat ass and a good heart. You spend two days tromping around the Undercity with her breathing in each other's fuckin pheromones and shit while she challenges your notions about the way the world works. You watch her go to town on a bowl of slop and then she flirts with you hardcore outside of a brothel after asking if you were into girls. You ALREADY KNOW what her moans sound like because that time she got gut-stabbed and you had to give her The Serum. She saved your life and carried you across a bridge when you got hurt and then you took her home and she laid on your bed with you and told you about the deep well of pain inside her and held your hand.
TWO DAYS??? AT LIKE 23 YEARS OLD? I would have been ready to sign a lease. Some of you are LYING about the fact that you wouldn't be ready to throw it all away after one "you're hot, cupcake" let alone TWO DAYS of all that
i actually just made a similar comment on reddit so let me put it here too.
My main point is that while yes, being young and being a lesbian played some role in their attachment, and im a big "Caitlyn is a huge horndog" believer, i dont think that's why she was so devastated in that "break up" scene.
We know Caitlyn was a lonely child who never fit in. Her only friend is Jayce, a man whos like 8 years older than her, showing us even at that point in time she was mature for her age. We also know Caitlyn doesnt like getting special treatment based on her status- in the flashback with Grayson she feels like her win wasnt earned because Grayson held her shot, and immediately she suspected her parents were involved in bribing the then sheriff. We know Caitlyn's afforts and extremely hard work in the force is getting overlooked by Marcus and her coworker, who write her off as a rich kid playing pretend and trying to bend the system to her will with her parents influence.
Caitlyn's entire life has been defined by being a Kiramman first, and Caitlyn second. She wants so desperately to be recognized for who she is, her values, achievements and skills. And every time, even the people closest to her- Jayce after she got hurt in the explosion, for example- keep misunderstanding her and not give her enough credit.
The reason why Caitlyn fell so hard for Vi is because for the first time, there's someome who doesnt treat her like a rich kid. Vi learns about Caitlyn's true caring nature, about her value for justice, and her honesty. She respects Caitlyn for her sharpshooting skills, and for her determination to go through with the investigation, instead of babying her and trying to shelter her from the "real world". She's in awe at seeing Caitlyn's investigation board (remember Jayce thought it was a crazed conspiracy and didn't take it too seriously) because it shows how passionate Caitlyn is.
Caitlyn very intentionally never told Vi about her heritage. When talking to Ekko about the gemstone, Caitlyn says she has "a friend on the council", completely neglecting to mention her MOTHER is a council member. When Vi steps into Caitlyn's room she has no idea it's Caitlyn's HOUSE. Every time Vi offers tidbits of her tragic backstory, Caitlyn stays silent. She is keeping her backstory hidden. She doesn't want Vi to know she's a Kiramman, she wants Vi to only know her for herself.
(There's a moment in episode 6, when she's about to tend a wounded Vi, where you see Caitlyn holding a hankerchief with the Kiramman insignia printed on it. She folds it over so the insignia is no longer in sight, and then she tries to clean Vi's wounds with it. It's such a small moment that says SO much about her character, i rarely see it talked about.)
Cut to the break up scene in the rain. Vi is angry and Caitlyn is chasing after her, trying desperately to offer solutions to their situation. What breaks her, though? The moment you see her stopping in her tracks? After that "Topside and bottom, oil and water, that's all there is" line. Vi recently learned of Caitlyn's status as a daughter of a council member, saw how much money and influence Caitlyn's family has. And now Vi starts seeing Caitlyn as a Kiramman just as Caitlyn feared. She is yet again being seen as her family and status first. So she asks, "what about us?" As in, what about you and ME, the me you got to know. She makes it personal, tries to take Vi out of the generalizing gaze and see themselves as the people they are first. But Vi shuts her down again, refusing to see it.
Can you blame Caitlyn for being so heartbroken? After years of loneliness, she was finally being seen, appreciated and respected for who she truly is by someone, and then that someone joins the rest of the people who only see her as a spoiled rich kid after learning of her background. It must hurt even more so with Vi, because Caitlyn had her, and then she lost her.
So yeah, haha lesbians be falling in 3 days or whatever, but that's not really the main reason in this case.
The scene with the handkerchief is one of my favourite things, itās such an insane quick detail: Vi is from the undercity, has spent the last seven years in prison and is half delirious in pain but Caitlyn isnāt even taking the slightest risk she might see the Kiramman symbol and recognize it. On top of that you could theoretically take Viās statement to Jayce later - that he was the first person they sought out when they got topside - to imply that even with her leg all busted up Caitlyn insisted they see Jayce first because she wanted to avoid her home. Going home was her last resort, and she still tried to sneak them in to try and keep the truth a little longer.
Heck, we could even take the conversation at the end of episode 5 (āstop calling me thatā) as her finally giving Vi her first name because sheās that guarded.
Thatās the thing I love most about her parallel with Jinx and her journey especially in s2act1: Running from her name is something s1 overemphasizes again and again and then in season 2 we get: Caitlyn using her family name to bully the enforcers into giving Vi an honorary badge, to bully the council to giving her the reins for her strike team mission, abusing the vents that are branded with her family name. And then at the end of the act when Ambessa puts her on the spot using her name, she finally gives in and accepts being Kiramman, just like Jinx accepts being Jinx. Thatās why the episode is called āFinally Got the Name Rightā! Itās not just Vi accepting that thereās only Jinx, itās Caitlyn embracing being a Kiramman.
And I stand by thatās why the Cupcake namedrop affected her that badly, because the Sleeper Phrase jokes are funny but in reality it was realizing Vi still sees her as something other than this warped image of her legacy sheās tried to mold herself into.
also a poem from the new, unreleased collection. very possibly my own all-time favourite.
