Possibly rewrite chapter in TWAAL in which Josh and Liam are there for her when she goes into labor?
me: i just idk i feel like i can’t really write joshifer anymore with the entirety of the fandom missing and jen being engaged it just feels too weird and too final and i just-
anon: hey write twaal again lmao
me:
So consider me VERY intrigued, anon! I’ve had a terrible writer’s block though, what with college absolutely kicking my ass lmao. Hence me being gone for three weeks, and hence me unfortunately missing the Everlark exchange. HOWEVER, this prompt really does tickle my fancy…
Considering, I’ve kind of always wanted to write chapter 21 from Jen’s POV, because haha WE LOVE TO SUFFER. Or write a little in between chapters 19-21 from her POV. Soooo you’re speaking my language.
AND, lmao, I reaaaallly stretched some things for the sake of the story too, things that I’d like to fix at this point. Like, I might ruin things for some people, BUT PLEASE SEE SAID HOLES LOL (AKA Y’ALL WERE WAY FORGIVING AND I APPRECIATE THAT BUT WOO LORDY): why did jen’s mom not go to the hospital with her lmao, caden probably would have taken enough time to arrive for josh to get there in time, why did jen never answer her phone when josh was calling because she knew she was in labor and NOT losing caden at that point so despite being scared about having her baby early she easily could have been in the right headspace to inform josh jdksldjskds. also why was josh in a hotel when he has a house in la lmao bUT THAT ONE IS KIND OF BESIDE THE POINT.
Anyway, as you can see lol, I’ve nitpicked quite a bit that has made me want to attempt a rewrite before. And now that I’ve got someone asking for it specifically, it’s DOUBLE the motivation. I don’t think Liam would be along with her unfortunately? But Josh would most definitely be there. It removes the whole suspense element lmao, but hey everyone knows what happens at this point, so perhaps a more realistic take is overdue.
Im someone who views pyro and engineers relationship as being familial and omfg i HATE how often people who also view their relationship that way say dumbass shit like "pyro is mentally a child! Pyro cant consent to a relationship! Pyroengie is gross/predatory!" Like Oh My God Please Shut The Fuck Up. Pyro is not "mentally a child" or in any way not capable of consenting to a relationship he is a mentally ill adult and (just like you said) the only reason you think pyroengie is "icky" or whatever is because you view mentally ill people as being functionally children or otherwise "lesser" in some way. And you need to actually acknowledge that about yourself and reevaluate it instead of just doubling down and crying over two grown ass unrelated adults getting shipped with each other. (Also canon itself is extremely ableist as well both to pyro specifically and also just to everyone in general but thats a rant for a different ask lol) but Yeah tldr i dont even like pyroengie and i would still rather have 100 million billion trillion more pieces of pyroengie content than even one more fuckass post calling pyro "child coded" or pyroengie "problematic" or what the fuck ever. Because the pyroengie shippers actually understand that being mentally ill doesnt make you "mentally a child". Im Tired Boss!
Fr you get it. As someone with schizophrenia who has similar hallucinations as pyro it pisses me off so bad. I’m also autistic and act similarly “childish” and excitable. They’re still an adult they just don’t fit into the general neurotypical behavior of an adult. They have a job and do it well enough to be a genuine asset to their team so clearly they’re not just a useless toddler. People focus so hard on the cutesy side of pyro they forget that they’re literally a soldier that welds their own weapons. Yes they like cute and childish things but they’re also smart and care about their friends.
People are so set in their “pyro is like a child” headcanons they just willfully ignore everything else about their character. And oh goddd the “engie and pyro have a father child relationship” people piss me off so bad like okay you can feel that way but it’s so NOT canon.
Because yes you say things like “I don’t wanna get your hopes up but we might’ve just adopted ourselves a super baby” because yes of course your child would want to raise a child with you! /sarc
Like what. What what what. Also that’s not to say those people are weird for their headcanon I just mean that it’s not canon yk okay bye
Roman tries to be intimidating in work settings and i feel like that bleeds into his dynamic with Gerri? It doesn’t work, of course, but like i imagine you’re like his assistant he’s trying to push around and he thinks he has the leg up once he gets his dick into your mouth. It’s just that he thinks he’s in control, no one is ACTUALLY scared of him. Yeah, okay, this is his tenth time saying that he’s firing you this week but like he means it this time. Deep Roman he knows he’ll never be able to have like a proper hold over anything??? I think, maybe i’m reading too much into it. But like you’re basically his toy, or more like a pet.
Give Roman his time to play and maybe he’ll focus on something else. But for some reason that doesn’t happen because he sees you like every day and makes you go everywhere with him. Now you have to listen. Maybe he even moves your desk into his office, gets mad when you actually do your job or whatever. Not like Jess and Kendall, this is basically you getting paid to hang out with him. Even if that includes doing things you’re not supposed to be doing. Tries to use his power to control, but there’s no real control. Suck his dick under his desk because he told you to, make a reservation at a restaurant that is always empty on a fuckinf Wednesday night. He tries to make it seem like it’s you that needs him, but it’s really him that needs you. Sorry if this is too much lol!!!
oh my god it’s never too much. that’s my puppy with ambiguous sexual dysfunction and a problematic relationship with power imbalances. that’s my baby. LOTS of stuff under the cut and a great big healthy dose of mutt rambling!
this is exactly the situation i imagine with reader as his attorney too! i imagine a sort of ‘intro attorney’ or like, first internship after passing the baby bar, and so you technically work in corplaw for waystar royco, but roman kind of needs babysitting so logan delegates you to oversee him and sometimes keep kendall in check. which you fail at because anyone would be bad at that, because who is gonna talk down the billionaire son of the billion-dollar media conglomerate founder and ceo?
but roman’s a lot easier because he bends. you learn a little about him (which he easily allows by inviting you over repeatedly), you gain a lot of leverage. and eventually — kind of like the gerri situation, as you mentioned — you sort of fawn to his advances. he’s hot, rich, charming, and despite being unbelievably irresponsible in some aspects, he has some similar hobbies and tastes, and actually pays attention to what you like and what you think. and he flirts, but it’s hard to tell when roman’s flirting is just roman-flirting or serious, i-wanna-fuck-you-flirting.
maybe one day he just comes right out and says something. just upfront, “Are we ever gonna…? Or are you a human chastity cage? Or, is this dad trying to babytrap me? Hm,” and ironically turns his lips inward and puts his index finger there, as if genuinely considering. he’s testing you, seeing if you break when you’re played with. but you let him push you, and he does, until you’re in this with him. the two of you are sexually compatible — unexpectedly — and roman feels weirdly comfortable with you. which never happens. so, he’s not gonna give up on this.
he kinda acts like he owns you because, if this ever leaked, your career would be ruined. and his dad would be pissed, and fire you. and then where would you be? but really, not really. because i think in some case, his dad had this in mind; pairing his bachelor son who continually has sexual failings with a somewhat age-appropriate girl who seems alright, nice and pretty, and professional (although, a little unavoidably naïve to the standard protocol in cutthroat, billion-dollar business deals, but thankfully you’re not in much of a prominent position).
i also think roman’s dominant, control-y side comes out because yeah, he’s helpless at times and sometimes needs someone to actually save him (both business-wise and sexually, which are sadly both your job now), but he’s also not a fucking baby. he bites back and likes a little tug-of-war, a little play-fighting that shows he has you, and he has this, and he is — at times — a real fucking person. kind of like how he fought back him with his dad with, “I’m not a moron”, except he gains personhood through being able to use you. you wouldn’t allow just anyone to shove your face in their lap during the workday, so he’s special.
romey gets so degrading and dehumanizing. sometimes it crosses boundaries. he’s not the type to suggest a safeword and probably kind of makes fun of you when you bring it up, or tell him you’ve decided on one — but roman would try to fuck you in a public club bathroom on the clock because he brought you along as a little pet to some suck-up ass-kissing meeting, and someone would be in another stall and. you’d find a use for a safeword to say the least.
or you decide to allow him just a little treat — say he does something good, listens to you, actually improves his (and therefore your) position in the company. you suck his dick under his desk? just a quickie, he promises he’ll cum quick. but someone walks in and he tries to keep going, but fuck, you were already sputtering before they came in and so you grab him and let him know, silently, no. not this time, not right now. and he actually listens, but whines like a puppy who gnawed on your pant leg and now doesn’t get his treat.
anyways. i could talk about him for hours. i love him.

there’s still the rest of the year until the end of this era and i know we’ll make the most of it. i’ll always remember alpine as the team that brought me in and made me the woman that i am today. the end of this season will definitely be tough but if it wasn’t sad then it would mean there was nothing to miss.
let’s have an amazing rest of the year, i love alpine and will never forget the time ive spent here 💙🩷💙🩷

Varric Tethras' Problematic Portrayal of the Champion of Kirkwall
As rumours swirl around the true story of Hawke and their inner circle, it becomes imperative we revisit Varric Tethras' acclaimed work The Champion of Kirkwall. This essay aims to dissect potential problematic elements to Tethras' "biography" of the champion, particularly regarding how he chose to frame the champion's relationships.

The Grey Wardens disavow the actions of the mage terrorist known as Anders. Anders was a member of the Ferelden Grey Wardens and served some time at Vigil Keep. However, his time with the Wardens was brief and he had not been in active service for almost a decade. Anders actions go against the core principles of the Grey Wardens.
We send our deepest condolences to all those impacted by the tragedy.

As the person who recruited Anders, I too disavow his actions. He should have blown up Val Royeaux instead.

Have you heard anything about "Rook" and Lucanis Dellamorte? I just think it's weird that the first talon's grandson (and lets be real, her heir) is all cozy with a Qunari while his country is literally under qunari occupation. Don't get me wrong, rook's nice, I just think its kinda inappropriate for him to be telling the crows what to do?? (< I'm not a crow my friend is)
⬜Deuxmoi-Antiva Follow
Hi anon, we have had a few submissions about Rook/Lucanis, however a lot are just unsubstantiated rumours. That said, if your friend is telling the truth, it'd be kind of weird for someone who is "just a friend" to be having that much influence 👀
🐦⬛Coffeelover53 Follow
This is incredibly disrespectful. Firstly, Rook is a Qunari man, however he has repeatedly said he was raised outside of the Qun. He has nothing in common with the Rebel Antaam.
Secondly, my private life is none of your concern. Rook is just a good friend whom I trust and our relationship is strictly professional.

Papacorn more like plateofcorn. I’ve been telling you guys the Ivan lore is gonna go crazy
So is El Toro a real supervillain with super-strength powers or is he just like, some guy wearing a costume? In a world where Luka has magic empath abilities and the ice cream man has divine matchmaking powers I guess it’s not unheard of.
It’s nice to see there are actual criminals in Paris other than Hawkmoth though because before this point it was like “where are the cartoon bank robbers?”
Ok I NEED to know what’s up with Ivan’s mom. “Strong like me and intelligent like your mother” is she also a career criminal? Raul was in jail and Ivan canonically has a younger sister so I’m guessing they live with the mom? Either way his family lore isn’t complete yet
Totally unrelated to anything (the intro reminded me) but I noticed Argos’s eyes look normal in his render but in Revelator they were all purple like in s5. Is he slowly gonna start looking more human over the course of his development?
Gabriel had Adrien wearing that fuckass outfit from birth no wonder he doesn’t know how to dress himself
I like how we’re slowly building a timeline of when exactly Gabriel went insane, like in that plushy that was probably still the Gabi Harry Clown remembered. Somewhere between this and beginning his archeological adventures something happened to him
“You’re gonna know all the secrets of my childhood” [from reading the baby photo album] oh dramatic irony 🦚
Why do I like Luka’s Brazil design more than his default outfit
Ah Marinette you almost walked in on Nathalie’s deeply plot significant evil zoom call. She snapped her laptop shut so fast you’d think she was watching something else
Who thought Luka participating in a concert over FaceTime was a good idea. What kind of utopian sound quality and internet speed do they have in this world? Idk connection is still unreliable tho ig
What’s with him traveling btw because he was clearly back in the Revelator flashback. Do they just teleport him in when they need Viperion or is he traveling back and forth now? Is he gonna come home permanently later?
The conspiracy theorist in me wants to say Gabriel didn’t write that letter and it was planted by the organization but I doubt it. It’s suspicious though. Like when did he write this and what did he think was gonna happen after he died? What if poofing this letter into existence was part of his wish and he had to sacrifice a single sheet of blank printer paper in order to make it happen? Pretty good deal
Ladybug and that STUPID IDIOT chat noir
Ah Ivan’s breakdown censoring the sentimonster stuff just in time of course
I like the way they animated his hand shaking when he dropped the drumstick
So this is a regular thing and he refuses to talk to Mylene about it :(
Mylene literally has one of the best dads in this whole show so maybe Ivan is comparing Raul to Fred and that’s why he feels so weird for having a problematic father
The version of Lila (I assume) stalking Ivan is dressed in traditionally masculine clothes. Maybe she has cross-dress disguises as well.
It’s actually kind of insidious how Nathalie is pushing Marinette into being responsible for hiding things from Adrien. All this crazy shit went down with your villainous boss and somehow the blame for covering it up is going to end up on his son’s high school girlfriend (???)
And *she’s* the one really gunning to sweep it under the rug because if the truth gets out it will primarily have negative consequences for her. I’m not sure how much I believe hiding this is really “for Adrien”
What, you guys don’t know about the secret compartments in the Louvre bathrooms?
Oh hi Alim
Why is it always the Mona Lisa, why do they never go after a less well-guarded painting. Also that room is the French painting gallery and the Mona Lisa isn’t French and is displayed in other parts of the museum… lol I know they only have one gallery modeled and re-use it for everything but still
Ivan’s phone background is the Kitty Section logo
The letter,,, so this is what he was learning in poetry class
Was Raul gonna karate chop the letter in half wtf
I wonder where he’s from, like he’s a Spanish speaker but what country?
Did they ever confirm Ms Bustier was the French teacher before this? I kind of assumed she was but I don’t remember them explicitly saying it and it was more like each class had a main home room teacher than every single class being with different teachers
Nathaniel turn your head more i want to see your miraculous. I think it’s curved? Like it’s a thin and flat silver hair clip but it has a sickle shape that curves around the bunch of hair
Does he have freckles now? Also now we can tell that him having creases under his eyes is just part of what he looks like and not his character model being weird
Zoe what are you doing here you were never even in her class
Sabrina is once again standing directly between Zoe and Max in a group shot. This is maybe the fourth time this season. Incredibly suspicious what is going on here
Yay Mr Montalain looks like he’s in the same art style as everyone else now! And he’s one of the only characters who didn’t have their eyebrows utterly waxed in the redesign. If there’s anything that I have beef with in the redesigns it’s that no one’s allowed to have prominent or interesting eyebrows anymore.
Ondine brown hair animation error?
Even the patriotic People With Blue Eyes cocomelon baby is clapping
The girl with dark skin, a pink pixie cut, and sunglasses on her head is there. She was eating lunch with Adrien, Nino, and Sublime in ep 4 but we don’t know who she is yet
I just noticed Chris is in the crowd, baby why are you an unattended child at the tribute concert for the big kid schoolteacher
The dude in the background who looks like Milo from Atlantis with long curly hair seems like he’ll be one of the new teachers maybe
There’s also a guy who looks like he rides a penny farthing to work, he might also be a new teacher
Aw Ivan’s contact photo for Mylene is her leaning on him
Oh I guess the crime thing maybe is a family business? His grandma? I need the extended Ivan family lore where’s his family tree like those promotional graphics from a while ago
I’d say his dad is a toxic masculinity machismo guy, but him bringing up the grandma (and grandpa) feels like it’s “correcting” for that, like no he’s not patriarchal he was just raised in a hard ass crime family where everyone was like that regardless of gender
That re-contextualizes the Ivan little sister lore :( he probably doesn’t want her to have to deal with the stuff he did and end up like the rest of his family. He might be involved in raising her, too, if his parents are in and out of jail and that might be where his interest in childcare comes from
Off topic, I just finished watching a YouTuber play the game The Roottrees are Dead/Roottreemania which is a mystery puzzle game about piecing together a crazy family tree from nothing and I feel like I’m back in it. “You placed Ivan on the tree and found that Raul is his father. You found the line about his mom’s intelligence, allowing you to place Mrs. Bruel. You collected the clue about Raul being like his dad to fill in Ivan’s grandfather. The line about Ivan’s grandmother setting him straight allows you to add her to the tree. What you may have missed is that in one of the Germany-exclusive trading card game secret lore cards you can find information about Ivan’s younger sister, the last known piece of the tree.”
He looks at his dad like “god you’re pathetic” and then starts running and screaming
Manhole covers are really light in miraculous Paris
Oh so he was keeping the ox miraculous is his pocket. Last episode I thought it was an animation error. Or maybe against school dress code. But he just doesn’t fully accept it
Ivan you were given a free little magical girl animal companion to talk through your problems with and you just gave them away you aren’t utilizing your resources
I’m seeing the pattern here. In Penalteam they all rejected their miraculous for different reasons and now they’re doing it again but expanding on why each of them didn’t want it. Sabrina didn’t think she’d be a good choice because she used to be a bully, and Ivan was afraid of being aggressive because it turns out he doesn’t want to resemble his dad. I’m guessing Marc’s episode will be about overcoming impostor syndrome then, but I’m curious what Nathaniel’s deal is like wtf does “I’m not comfortable being on a team” mean.
Ok his dad being a supervillain is kind of out of nowhere and I do wish there was some sort of foreshadowing that this guy even exists but I gotta say they have been setting this up for a long time. To the point where fans did notice that Ivan probably has issues at home like a violent parent. I feel like the supervillain thing specifically was probably made up later on to make the topic less heavy
TRANSFORMATION the smoke exhale the hammer smash the kicking at the ground slay
My fav part is where he turns his back to the camera and flexes
“I’m not a real singer” lmao why are you the vocalist then what
Rose said star in English is that a thing in French? That the English word for star means rockstar or something because I thought the normal word for star meant that too
THEY 😲👉 THE. ONSCREEN THEY KISSED. After all these years holy moly omg THEY
It sort of pmo when people say “oh so they’re finally canon now” like where have you been. Why do they have to smooch on the lips in front of us for us to know that we already knew that. It’s like every season the show crosses the “oh they’re gay” threshold for more and more people by being more obvious
And when people complain that it was cowardly and not good enough, do you want to see tongue in this children’s cartoon? What more do you want (this is a rhetorical question btw guys don’t be in my replies and also gay marriage has only been legal in the us for ten years and is criminalized in many places let’s be fr). Ok salt over
Anyway they kissed, epic 👉 gay people
Adrien holding phone Luka like how Nathalie used to hold tablet Gabriel. Does it ever drive you crazy just how fast the night changes
The song is lowkey quite good what
Maybe the most insane fight sequence in the entire show I might be gagged
I am my fathers daughter
Minotaurox tanking that hit to protect Chat Noir oh if there’s gonna be a “civil war” between him and Ladybug we know whose side Ivan will be taking
From the side profile his hood really does look like an ox’s neck that’s pretty cool
Guys they made Ivan so gorg in the redesign. Character designer 1: ok so I guess Ondine needs normal clothes we could start with that Chatacter designer 2, slamming open the door, gasping out of breath from running up the stairs, a pile of papers flying everywhere: we need to make Ivan cunty
He’s so tuff, equally if not more so than Pegasus I would say which is a pretty high bar
Ladybug’s lucky charm cowboy hat is so unserious girl read the room. this is what happens when the main character is the only bitch on the show with no daddy issues in The Daddy Issues Episode
The visuals in the ep are so artsy. You got Juleka’s chrome neon concert lights vs Ivan’s breaking bad sepia filter western
How did a letter turn into a whip?
They were technically right, Raul didn’t do anything illegal. Yet. What is this new chance program even supposed to do though because I don’t think it’s working
“Your dad was a hero” Adrien: :/
Ah this part :) evil shadow government cult thing. This is how Tomoe’s connected to everything. Are they as an organization The Supreme?
Now that Gabriel’s dead is someone else taking over as The Diamond? They were the second to last one to log off and Nathalie didn’t move so is someone else behind that name now
Maybe Lila… like Kagami said she isn’t special enough to be a diamond so maybe she took that personally and decided to prove her wrong by filling that role ?? ?
Nathalie’s dad is wheat man nooo Marinette’s wheat-based dad is so much better. I wonder if she was raised to be some kind of fucked up secret agent child soldier from a young age and that’s why she has crazy assassin skills. She doesn’t want to be involved in this bs but lacks the courage to face her father. If only she was there to hear about Ivan’s valuable life lesson and how Adrien regrets that he missed the chance to apply it. If only Nathalie still had the chance right ahaha
Gabriel probably wasn’t aware Nathalie was a plant? Or maybe he was and she was more like a conscripted bodyguard idk
The theatre mask icon reminds me of Lila, like obv her metaphorical masks but there have been screenshots circulating about the black and white split mask hanging in her bedroom and how in Climatiqueen, the lighting of the first lightning strike makes Aglae’s face look exactly like that mask. Creepy. Maybe she’s that dude’s daughter and she was also raised to be some spy like Nathalie was.
I’m kinda hoping Lila is being manipulated by the powerful elite adults at some level because that’s more interesting to me than “girlboss teenage girl outsmarts everyone on earth”. Maybe she thinks she’s in charge or on equal terms with the rest of them but they’re using her
I wonder if the Bourgeois are any of these or Bob Roth. I hope they’re mostly new characters. It feels cheap if they’re all established antagonists who aren’t particularly threatening and play silly roles. Tomoe is nothing like that, and also is an industry titan from a totally different country. It seems like these people are the leading elites in certain categories from all around the world. Could this eventually be a setup for more miraculous world specials? Surprise one of these people lives in Rio and one lives in Dakar, see you there.
I’m not analyzing each logo in detail because other people already did it better than I would’ve
Ok that’s enough, maybe see you guys next week for The Ruler or maybe not. I’ll decide if I want to talk about it or not. I committed to post about this one last time because I felt in my balls that it was gonna be fire and it was.
Hi! Not trying to get you in trouble with the fandom but I was curious. Do you have any unpopular opinions about richonne? or even unpopular opinions about TWD?
No worries lol! I appreciate you asking. 😊 And I wrote out my answers below 💗:
I was trying to rack my brain to see if I had a particularly unpopular Richonne opinion, because one didn’t immediately come to mind. This one may not fit within that category, but I would have been interested in seeing a storyline where Negan directly realizes Rick and Michonne are a couple in s7/8.
I feel like maybe that’d be considered unpopular within the Richonne fandom since it would mean more of Negan being involved in their story and more strain on Richonne during that time. And I would never want it to be in a way where either is harmed or separated because of Negan’s realization, but I’ve just always been curious how that would play out and how Richonne would react to a big bad that is actively targeting their relationship. I’d mainly want to just see how Rick and Michonne stand together against that because I know they would.
And then I’d say my unpopular TWD opinions are one; that I don’t hate season 7, even though it’s a dip from the first six seasons. And two, that I think Shane’s love for Rick was more genuine than Lori’s love for Rick.
While they were dysfunctional 'brothers,' he viewed Rick like a brother nonetheless. Whereas Lori started to feel like her relationship with Rick was rooted more in obligation than love and real loyalty. Shane was highly problematic tho and I don’t make excuses for the terrible things he did. I also just don’t feel like Shane was wrong to tell Lori that Rick died.
Some act like Lori gets a huge Get Out of Jail Free card because Shane lied to her about Rick dying, but I don’t think Shane even thought he was lying when he said Rick is dead, because there was a 99% chance he would be soon enough. Shane tried to save his friend amid chaos at the hospital, and when he couldn’t, he placed that barrier against the door, which in a way did help save Rick. But Shane had every reason to believe that even if he didn’t see Rick take his last breath, the man was eventually not going to make it, being in a coma in a collapsing hospital. Still doesn't soften the blow and the betrayal of him and Lori getting together so quickly.
And I think Lori wanted to believe that if Shane said Rick was still breathing in the hospital, she wouldn’t have left him, but I feel pretty confident she would. When the world starts falling apart badly enough, and Carl needs protection she can’t give, she’d eventually go with Shane anyway, whether Rick was dead in the hospital or not.
Then, when Rick does reunite with them, Lori seems like she’s determined to still fulfil her wife role out of obligation, not love, and also out of shame and embarrassment if she were to be exposed for moving on with Shane so quickly. I personally think if she had wanted to come clean to Rick right away, Shane would have been ultimately in support of them doing that, as tough as it’d be to admit. Because he knew, like Rick and Lori deep down knew, that their marriage was already dead a long time ago.
But instead, Lori tried to nearly erase Shane from their lives once Rick got back, only to then get upset whenever Shane actually did try to keep his distance like she told him to. It will always be so shady to me that Lori went from being in Rick's ear, implying he needed to kill Shane, and then later went up to Shane, saying there was something between them.
I don’t view Lori as cartoonishly evil, but I do think in a fatal standoff between Shane and Rick, she wanted Shane to be the last one standing. Even if it made her feel guilty, selfishly, I think she felt Shane living instead would be a neater outcome for her and the baby she knows is his.
But at some point, Shane’s longstanding envy of Rick won out against the love he had for him, and he let his selfishness and madness consume him to the point of trying to kill Rick, which was horrible. I just think Lori and Rick’s relationship had a clear expiration date, regardless of an apocalypse, whereas Rick and Shane might’ve stayed bonded had the world as they knew it not ended, because they did at least like each other more than Lori and Rick liked each other.
hi hi so my friends and i were talking today about how girls will only read/watch mlm stuff but not wlw stuff, and boys will only read/watch wlw stuff but not mlm stuff, and how thats overall just Not Good bc it sets up misconceptions and prejudice and there might be some latent, ironic amount of homophobia tangled in there as well...? i THINK you used to make a post / reblog some contents/articles that discusses this phenomenon? id love to read those contents again so i was hoping you could point me in the right direction, if what im saying is making any sense at all? 🥹 tysm ily <3
Ooooh I know I've reblogged stuff on slash fiction/misogyny in fandom before but imagine me using a consistent tagging scheme. I wish!! In my dreams!! I'm happy to weigh in tho! I think we may disagree a little bit and also I'm extrapolating a bit from what you've said here just in what I remember about how these conversations manifest and the discourses they sprang from.
My stance on women and the phenomenon of slash fic (the idea that girls only want to read mlm content and whether this is a problem with real life ramifications or not) has evolved a lot over time (since I got involved in fandom in around 2010), particularly considering that during my tenure in fandom I've come out as a lesbian and then later transitioned. Pre-transition I was more understanding of/open to the idea that women's involvement in slash fiction communities sometimes resulted in the fetishization of gay men or the perpetuation of stereotypes, but I'm truthfully just not sure I've seen that borne out or that I think that the reality of that problem has ever been equal to the amount I used to see it discussed, with great concern, by women who were trying to do the right thing by gay men. I also don't think its wrong or homophobic to fetishize something. So let's start there lol
Anecdotally, the fan communities I've been involved in are largely queer anyway and getting more queer every year, which I think has reduced the overall power of this discourse. When I first got involved with fandom I did have a lot of unexamined homophobia despite believing that I supported gay people, because I grew up in a homophobic culture and hadn't interacted significantly with real life gay community because I was, and I can't stress this enough, 13 and it was 2010. A lot of my early fanfiction likely reflects my misconceptions in that regard and probably reading work by other people with similar experiences didn't give me a lot of opportunity to problematize them. I do think perhaps there is truth to the idea that fanfiction written by teenage girls perhaps doesn't accurately depict the experience of queer men. For example some of the game of telephoning that happened around how anal sex works and the focus on anal in general. That said, I've always seen a large push towards accuracy driven by exhaustive fan labor. Beyond that though, I just don't really buy that it's not possible for a woman to understand or accurately depict the reality of being a gay man or that this is a huge problem we are having in this world. I do not subscribe to that tbh
On a personal level I disagree with the way this discussion has been framed (largely, not specifically re: ur ask) because reading and writing gay fanfiction as a teen girl made me a lot more comfortable with queerness and was crucial to my own eventual coming out, finding gay community on the internet, doing lesbianism in real life, meeting gay people in real life, writing femslash, reading a large variety of work by other actual gay people both in fanfiction and in the canon, transitioning, doing gay shit in real life, etc. Which makes me as a former woman reading gay fanfiction a net win for gay people. I think my experience is honestly fairly typical, although obviously I don't think people need to be This Gay In Order to Read Slash Fic As a Woman, because before I came out (AS BABY, I WAS LIKE 13) I used to worry soooo much about if I was fetishizing gay men and if I should stop reading gay fiction because it was morally wrong. It made the whole process more difficult and was a waste of my time. I love women who read slash fiction they are some of my strongest allies and closest friends.
I know I made a post genuinely years ago on my drarry blog about how reasonable I think it is for women to be drawn to slash fiction (fantasy where you're attracted to both characters, lack of well written women in media, fantasy of romance without misogyny, latent transgenderism etc) and I still think all of that is true. That said: I really don't think women need a justification or a reason to like slash content. I think its a bummer that there aren't more femslash ships in fandom and in this beautiful world because I think its a bummer that structural misogyny exists.
I also don't necessarily agree that the way that women engage with slash fiction is comparable to how men engage with lesbian content - truthfully I wish that men engaged with lesbian content the way that women engage with content depicting queer men, but they largely just don't, because of misogyny. They sometimes do and frankly as I said I wholeheartedly support latent transgenderism. Andrea Long Chu said sissy porn made me trans and I said girl so true its been a long week pass the yaoi. That said, I also don't even think its a big deal if men think lesbian porn is hot or are fetishizing women. Why wouldn't they. Desire is not problematic, truly the anti-porn feminism that moves unchecked through these discussions annoys me to no end. The problem isn't that men like lesbian porn or lesbian content, it's misogyny and dehumanization, which is learned from Society.
It's always seemed very silly to me the way this conversation circles because it's only real result seems to be women self policing and policing each other to make sure their desire isn't harmful. Sidebar I have also seen trans men encouraging this policing and truly I can not imagine a more loser behavior. Imagine pulling the ladder up behind you like that. Explode. A million fires for trans men who genuinely buy into this fiction of victimhood. Again for as long as I've been in fandom I've watched these convos play out and they feel like distractions from the societal forces that actually drive them - homophobia writ large and the fact that women are dehumanized on a large scale and that that dehumanization is reflected in the media we consume and our imaginations. Women who read slash fiction are my closest friends and strongest allies! I would LOVE men who watch lesbian porn to be my closest friends and strongest allies!!!!! I would love men to be interested in lesbian fiction and consider women people!! What are we talking about!! It genuinely baffles me the extent to which this has been the conversation du jour for over a decade. Meanwhile in all the original Star Wars movies the total time of every line spoken by a woman that isn't Leia is 63 seconds. Instead of asking why women like content about gay men we should ask why we literally had to build dyke Lan Zhan with our own two hands. Why there aren't two mean hairy ugly butches in narrative for us to rub together. Genuinely can we get a grip!!!
