I already said before how much i'm just in disbelief that people insist the vees dont care about each other. Because it's actually very obvious they do.

Yall wanna know another thing, that i'm even more flabberghasted by?

People insisting Vox did not have a crush on Alastor back then.

They'll explain every way to sunday how it's manipulation and how Vox was just waiting to betray Alastor and how it's not genuine and so on.

THIS IS THE MAN UR TALKING ABOUT BE SO FR

THIS BI DISASTER OF A MAN??? HIM???

I don't know what show they're watching but it for sure wasn't hazbin season 2 because he is the epitome of a lovesick puppy in that flashback.

I fear this McLaren DSQ has opened an unnecessary can of worms.

One thing I did not expect to learn as a direct result of getting my adhd diagnosis, is that at least half the physical issues that I’ve always chalked up to just ‘weird me things’ is a result of my joint hyper mobility. I’ve always known I was hyper mobile but it’s always been treated as just a kind of gross party trick. Cut to the nurse asking me about my motor skills (or lack thereof) during the diagnostic process, explaining that they see a lot of people with both adhd and gjh while I sat there like the personification of the surprised pikachu meme.

Literally just now I found out that the pain that I always get above my ankles after walking or standing more than 15 minutes straight is due to my ankle joint instability. 30 years on this earth, 29 of which I’ve been walking… and I’ve always just been like, ah yes. The agonies of being upright. Y’know just normal things that need no questioning.

sometimes I'll draw a comic and have no idea if it's funny or if I just have a broken sense of humor, and then I'll look at the tags and they're all "HRHJFHFJSHDJSJSJ OP THIS IS SO GOOD" and that's how I know I'm a comedic genius

Why wasn’t ruby’s question to jinn “what is salem and ozpin hiding?” a lot of jinns story was from both their perspectives and it was weird that ozpin knew so much of what happened to salem without her own personal bias…

It really was just an excuse to have an exposition dump around the college level gods story that MK really wanted to do, rather than actually giving us interesting characterisation for both Ozpin and Salem.

'Cause what we got was all the mystery around Ozpin boiling down to a traumatised abused man trying his best to protect the world from his abusive wife, who murdered him and his children, and a sexist bunch of tropes of a woman who was just too emotional to think logically and bumbled through her story and now wants to die ig??

And the gods are assholes. Great Greek storytelling there.

I honestly would've had the story without the gods. It just over complicated the story by adding another set of Big Bads after Salem did that to Cinder, and actively takes away Salem's agency because she's now just reacting to what all the men around her had done.

Especially since Ozpin didn't see half of what happened in the actual flashback. How can he hide something that he doesn't know? Now we got our heroes forcibly dragging someone's abusive past out, getting mad at THEM for not being able to defeat their abusive ex, physically and verbally assaulting them right after retraumatising them, and then not once showing any sympathy for him until they had to do shit without him.

Who does that remind me of? Oh, it's Blake. It's literally Blake.

The girl who hid her abusive past with an evil ex, who wants to kill her and all of humanity, and can't beat him until her friends actively show her support and understanding despite how her fuck ups personally impacted them.

The difference is how the show treats them. Blake is constantly coddled even when she's being told off, the worst done to her is Sun explaining to her how her mentality is bad for her and her friends right after waking up from nearly dying, Yang letting go of her anger long before Blake returns and only getting annoyed when she actively infantilises her, and everyone understanding why Blake left and being all happy smiles when she comes back.

But with Ozpin, everyone immediately suspects him when they find out he gave Qrow and Raven the ability to turn into birds, a power that has no downsides and is actively a gift that Qrow does not care, meaning they're overreacting again. Then they get annoyed when he keeps the secret of the relic attracting Grimm, something that isn't brought up again in the show even with them having the lamp out in the open for the rest of the time they had it.

And then they forcibly get an outside force to tell them his past, something that Ozpin/Ozma does not want to tell them because it's fucking traumatising, and then they get angry at him without any ounce of empathy for the shit he went through.

Like??? These are our heroes???? Okay.

in order to validate the gender of the transwomen tme ppl see online, either only through text or highly curated photos, forces them to not be allowed to see us as troons because allowing themselves to imagine us as that would be transmisogynistic, so when they see us irl they haven't done any of the work of decoupling what ever the fuck they associate "men in dresses" with (typically deception and violence) which is just all round bad and dangerous because it leaves them at the edges of their seats waiting for us to either fuck up or smth

I do genuinely think that transmisogyny, both the kind tme people project and the kind tma people internalize, is something you can only challenge by actually spending time with trans women and getting to know them personally. You’re right, otherwise people keep a dual understanding of the perfect idealized trans woman to contrast transmisogynistic caricatures they don’t confront which are unfortunately still exaggerations of the real characteristics of some trans women. An understanding that inevitably fails them when they do see a real side of a trans woman they’ve tried to pretend doesn’t exist.

Though this is maybe the most charitable reading of the way people stay ready to jump on trans women and throw them to the wolves when they’ve fucked up (or are merely perceived to have fucked up).
