tried to go on Instagram today but the amount of people and brands ‘celebrating’ international women’s day by posting images of more or less artistic renderings of disembodied breasts and vaginas alongside basic “she is woman hear her roar”-messages is just. hmmm.

#I think there’s a very real crotique in talking about the sexualisation of those body parts #*critique #esp on social media and the internet in general #but it feels extremely reductive and of course cis centric #on a day supposed to celebrate women’s accomplishments and perseverance + highlighting the continued issues that women worldwide face #sexism; the silencing of women of color; transphobia; homophobia; unjust laws; underrepresentation; etc etc etc #and also a day to shine a light on all the women throughout history - often forgotten - who have changed our lives #to take all these things and think hm how do we best represent this #oh I know! genitals. that perfectly represents all women everywhere #and even better when those artistic renderings are made by a cis man and clearly idealising and sexualising the subject #and no of course it’s hardly easy to encompass all those things #but something about the fact that it’s just disembodied genitals. no faces and no names and no stories.#(and there are SO many of them on my feed)#just. hmmmmm

sjm just straight up refused to write an actual tax/tithe collection system for the spring court and instead had every single SC citizen come TO the manor to give their taxes in person and made the monarch himself winnow to the doorstep of each citizen who was late on payments to ask for resources like faerie Santa Claus trying to paint the tithe as Bad and NC taxes as Good. The issue with with the tithe isn’t the resources it demands (what sjm intended) it’s the lack of efficiency (accidental consequence of making sure Tam is in the room for all unsavory aspects of taxation)

Speaking about the acotar critical fandom’s depiction specifically, what Az is missing for me isn’t patheticness it’s harmfulness. I want recognition for how he hurts ppl as a torturer / romantic weirdo / leader of an apartheid state instead of having him always be depicted as a sad wet cat who’s a victim of the IC and whose trauma only impacts himself. Hurt or not he’s still part of the same posse of NC rulers and is complacent in their problematic actions. He’s also just as glazed as his brothers and the “insanely hot single powerful mysterious righteous traumatized shadow daddy” archetype all the bat boys embody doesn’t become any less eye-rolling just because you make the man a gay bottom and put him in a tough spot. Let him be the source of other’s misfortune sometimes. Being beat down on by society isn’t the compelling character flaw you think it is. Az would genuinely become much more tolerable if SJM character assassinated him like she did with Tam Cass and Rhys and summoned a massive wave of azriel-critical and satirical content. Go on Sarah I know u can do it

#*critique #*hc #like yeah ok he’s struggling #but is the struggle undignified #is he Wrong A lot #a lot more compelling than a guy being traumatized tbh
