just found out that Britney Spears' conservatorship is finally over 🙌 👏 so thank you to everyone that made it happen. Can we make it an official calendar holiday?
//K so rewatching SS & I have to put this unpopular opinion out there. It was sparked by thinking about Harley & then thinking in general: Harley has been through alot of abuse in her life but I don't like the idea of calling her/seeing her as a victim. Or anyone a victim.
The Oxford English Dictionary first cites the word victim (late 1400s) as "a living creature killed and offered as sacrifice to a diety or supernatural power", using the base meaning of the Latin victima.
In 1728 it was "person oppressed by some power or situation, person ruined...". In 1781 it was "person taken advantage of, one who is cheated or duped". And so on. Today, the meaning is "a person who has been attacked, injured or killed as the result of a crime, a disease, an accident, etc."
Compare this to the meaning of survivor. Mid-1500s, "to outlive". 1971, "one who has a knack for pulling through adversity". From the Latin vivere, "to live". Today, "a person who continues to live, especially despite being nearly killed or experiencing great danger or difficulty..."
Would you rather be known as a person who was harmed or a person who outlived the harm?
The word victim is often taken as a representation of someone whose trauma is shared as opposed to being individual & personal. It seems to push acceptance of victimhood onto survivors, seems to celebrate victim status as opposed to encouraging those affected to work through & overcome trauma so they are no longer trapped by a harmful mentality. So they might recover, live with their psychological/physical/emotional scarring peacefully & reclaim control.
I believe the right term for those who endured abuse is survivor. Maybe this is just the biased opinion of someone who survived it. Maybe Harley & others wouldn't agree. Each to their own. My opinion isn't correct, it's just an opinion based on my personal experience. I don't want my experience to belong to a victimhood scrapbook. I don't want my being associated with my abuser or what they did. I survived, I live on in spite of what happened. I don't belong to my scars, my scars belong to me.
//okay I'm bursting with happiness rn so I need to share this: I'm having the bantz with this awesome beautiful witch and she's invited me to visit her in Vienna!!!! Where I can go see Mozart's house with her!!! Where the largest collection of Klimt's paintings are on show!!!!
Happy Hallowe'en yall 💜 May your pumpkins burn bright against the ghoulies & ghosties! Fellow wiccans, remember to leave some food at your table so that the spirits of your loved ones may feast with you
//Just a reminder to mutuals that I'm currently struggling to get back into writing after a tough month. That being said, I am doing hcs & smoll memes over on my oc blog. This is where my creativity lies most of the time. Not saying J is complete or done for, it's just that I have more muse over there. So, if you really like my writing & wish to write with me, please contact me on my oc & give her a follow. I phrase it that way cuz I know some don't wish to write with female ocs but... it's still me, still my writing/character style so you might enjoy her. Thanks & have a great day/night 💜
//...why yall still here? Who are ye? *squints at new followers*
This morning I'm proud to announce that I felt the uncomfortable shifting of J opening one eye, glaring at me questioningly...
Do I detect a potential return for my charmingly vulgar & vulgarly charming muse? Perhaps... watch this space, m'dears.
//Happy Samhain (sow-inn or soun) to my fellow pagans! Remember to leave a candle burning in the window so that spirits of your passed beloved know they may come inside to dine with you.
//you know what would be interesting? Someone who knew J back in college or from his years spent as a petty criminal/junkie (they could've even attended NA together?) meeting him now & being all 'wtf i know you omg how did you end up like this seriously'. He'd play dumb at first & be cringing but also would want to catch up with this person, especially if they had in the past been good to him. Hell, if they had been a decent person to him he'd wanna repay them in some way.
A nice twist to this setup would be if it was an ex who recognised him. I don't even know how he'd react but im sure it would be just as interesting 🤔
