ok. i just finished sirens. totally get why you're obsessed with michaela because damn. thought the ending was good but still pissed simone ended up with HIM because they had zero chemistry and JULIANNE MOORE was right. there. hating men rn (morgan was chill tho, liked him)

plus i kinda feel like they moved away from michaela/simone's codependent relationship halfway thru the show or it just felt so much less later on (even before the finale stuff) which was annoying cuz i got invested in it.

inally i just kept mentally comparing simone and michaela to cate and indira??? obvs the origin of the mommy issues is pretty different but just the way simone clung to her and michaela comforted her in that one scene??? also the grief on michaela/indira's front, the loss of a child (or miscarriage)

sorry if this is rambly, my brain is buzzing a lil bit rn

sirens spoilers

tldr; sirens was was always going to end that way because it is a commentary on the patriarchal structures so deeply entrenched that even now in a so-called postracismpostsexiam post blah contemporary society women cannot escape the narratives men write for them.

phew while (obviously) i did adore simone/michaela's extreme codependency the way the plot went wasn't a chemistry thing and the move was very intentional on the writers' part.

neither of them love that man (though michaela did, once). it is the security he brings. that heady hit of "quit your job, just let me take care of you." michaela's character is a symbol of just how shaky that security is. the duplicitous nature of it, and how draws you in, without realising a woman is giving up her agency to obtain it. it's the age-old hegemonic narrative driven to our heads since before fairytales even came to be was that a woman's teleological endpoint was to marry a man. happily ever after! get married, have babies, die. a woman's life simply ends after she marries a man. that's where she should be most happy.

of course, then. you are entirely dependent on him and his name and his wealth. your identity is consumed into his, michaela becomes just 'mrs kell' and she hates it. he loves it (cite: "i love you, mrs kell." and michaela's strained smile) because that is all she is worth. this is why the fantasy of transcending social castes through "marrying rich" is so dangerous. you become nothing but his wife - and you better be prepared to be grateful for the rest of your life.

that's why!! michaela who loves simone rawly and truly and wants to protect her; does the absolute most to stop her from marrying the first rich guy to bend a knee. its why she spent so much time breeding her for a highpaying job out in new york. because she knows simone is especially vulnerable - craves that life for herself and escape from her horrible fucking childhood and michaela doesn't want simone to make the same mistake as her to get it. she wants simone to keep her agency. to not give up herself for it.

that's also why!! when michaela discovers the photo she says!!! "i can never have anything for myself." because the point that this show is making is that a wife is only that—her husband's posession. and possession is not allowed to possess anything of its own. he takes simone from michaela because everything that is hers is his. michaela casts simone out because (deep and rueful sigh) she herself is afraid to lose the little power she holds. simone runs back to him because in that moment - when she's lost everything. her future, her present; michaela. then her abusive father turns to her and says "it's just you and us, now." and understandably spirals her into a panic attack. when she runs into kevin freaking bacon's arms it's not because she's in love with him some bs like that. it's her last ditch effort to save herself from her past. and she falls into the same trap michaela once did.

the pointiestpoint of this show is how women are always blamed for men's faults and made out to be these wicked alluring creatures that tempt men to commit all their terrible or simply stupid actions so any consequences are the fault of the womens. pandora's box. eve and the apple. sirens.

yam love love love that analysis on cate you just posted and was curious what your thoughts are on queers (lesbians in specific obviously) reading her as a closeted lesbian going through comphet?

tbh i could talk about this for hours but would just like to say that she legitimately had queen maeve posters all over her childhood bedroom lol didn’t believe that soldier boy shit for a SECOND.

comphet reading of cate dunlap ft. mariecate

TLDR so u don’t have to read the whole thing; all of cate’s relationships with men are overall fake and do not revolve around love, rather the forging of an idealised identity formed around media (comphet Classic). cate’s only real raw genuine untainted relationship is with a woman. ft. mariecate

id love to my favourite hobby is looking at characters through a orangepinkwhite tinged lens. cate’s relationship with luke fits the comphet bill almost too well. firstly, cate being locked up her whole childhood means the formation of identity would be entirely based on media. a very heteronormative landscape of media, which aligns with traditional comphet. you could say her relationship with luke—literally golden boy—is comphet based, the ‘gold standard’ for a relationship cate’s drawn from all that she’s consumed in her childhood years. effectually, cate’s entire early life was robbed of her. and here, she achieves her perception’s ‘perfect’ idea of a life through luke, and forms her entire identity around him (hence her desperation to keep him). this is especially evident in the fact she changed her major to ‘hero management’ just to support luke’s career. to fully commit in shadowing him, for the rest of her life.

except, it’s fake. the entire relationship is fake. by the time of the show, cate has erased and changed and warped luke’s memory, his identity to the point where his mind breaks by the pilot. the fauxness and dysfunction of luke/cate’s relationship despite their image of unattainable perfection is probably her largest comphet indicator. maybe she loved him (not enough to remain faithful, however), but it reads as more of a subconscious love of what he represented, and something to anchor her identity to, which she’s never had a chance to form. as well as a means as to gain shetty’s affection and trust, no matter if she thought it was for his own good or not. her relationship with luke was poisoned, for a multitude of reasons.

(sidenote: cate/luke comphet reminds me of jiper comphet down to the false memories piper’s charmspeak and jason as the golden boy who literally explodes so like. there’s that’s free tidbit for anybody who is tapped the fuck in.)

cate has been so deprived of love she seeks it wherever she can find it. hence her stint with andre, which obviously ends in shambles because it’s foundations are already shaky, considering she’s cheating on luke with him, and andre is fucking his best friend’s girlfriend, but is also disingenuous, because cate’s compulsion powers arguably affect andre the secondmost to luke (though, by a wide margin). these are her two only romantic interests, and they suffer the worst consequences of it.

enter.. marie moreau. and cate’s relationship with marie is more genuine than any of her romantic relationships, which i think is the most telling thing. cate and marie serve as foils to each other: both in the manslaughter of their loved ones, the way shetty attempts to use them, and how can you NOT ship two reflections of each other?

in the finale, cate reaches out her hand, and andre can’t take it, because he doesn’t trust her. you can’t blame him. inversely, marie is the one always reaching out to cate, who is constantly defending cate’s intentions and her motivations to the others—when cate doesn’t deserve the benefit of doubt. partly, it’s because marie has known cate the least amount of time, making the betrayal sting the least. but also, cate’s relationship with marie is also the one least tainted by her compulsion powers; marie is the least affected by cate’s manipulations (to love her, to stay with her), and yet, despite marie not being compelled to do so; she still retains her faith in cate. that cate is good. that cate can be good, which is a fact not even cate believes in.

marie actively sees through cate’s compulsion, and later, nulls it. there’s a reason why marie is the one to discover cate’s betryal. there’s also a reason why marie is the one to blow cate’s arm off when saving jordan. in the same episode that cate reaches out and andre draws away, marie reaches out to cate, and cate draws away. that is a very direct comparison. it also speaks to cate’s larger unwillingness to accept love that is untainted, either fear she herself will ruin it, or because she doesn’t think she deserves it.

anyways, all this to say that yes, cate could totally be read as comphet. and mariecate is totally metal as they are, romantically involved or not.

wtf do you mean mindRAPE

cate dunlap and consent

cate dunlap’s 3rd scene displaying her powers is compelling a man to deepthroat a flashlight so a woman can force it up his asshole until he cums. or, “make it wet with your slutty little mouth so i can stuff it up your tight chocolate starfish til you see stars.” so like no duh mindrape

TLDR; cate dunlap’s powers are a sexual assault metaphor. andre uses the phase here, which is interesting (not just because mindrape is a legitimate scifi term that pretty much slaps a sticker on cate’s powers as a whole), but because the emphasis of cate’s wrongdoing isn’t on the fact she mindraped somebody at all. it’s that “you mindraped your friends.” it’s the fact that she mindraped people that ‘matter’. consent is devalued to cate. 'mindraping' people is an established norm. which leads to a larger issue that likely speaks to the sociocultural climate of now in which sexual assault is normalised. but let’s talk about cate.

cate’s relationship with consent is of huge thematic importance to her character and is directly correlative to her powers. her power is inherently nonconsensual. it is not only penetrative in nature, with the perversion of others’ minds and their private thoughts, but also quite literally strips people of their free will.

the necessity of tactile contact for her powers is intentional. it's summarised by the symbolism in cate's gloves; a contraceptive-like protection against the penetration of the mind. the purpose of cate's power is to control, and the vehicle for it is stripping of consent, and touch. that is, very much, a sexual assault metaphor.

the show also delves into the nonconsensual nature of cate gaining her powers themselves. the scene where she talks to marie about her brother and ensuing childhood imprisonment, sums it up succinctly. “it’s not your fault. your parents shot you up with a drug, that..” and it’s true. cate was an infant when her parents imbued her with v, her body violated (penetrated by a syringe, if you’re going there), and completely and utterly out of her control. cate‘s absence of consent in gaining powers that are innately nonconsensual, mirror and present us the root of her her internal, fucked-up dynamic between choice and control.

this continues in the show. rufus, at some point, raped cate. cate ‘mindraped’ luke, and cate ‘mindraped’ andre (two romantic interests), as well as all her friends. cate’s relationship with shetty is dubious considering shetty exploits cate’s vulnerability and clear yearning for a ‘mother’s love’ for utilitarian purposes, and is also based on conditional factors of cate ‘winning’ shetty’s affections (and that’s without addressing using cate to cook up of a genocidal virus that wipes out her own people entirely). yeah.

cate has never had a connection untainted by manipulated consent, whether it be her or the other. she has never had a truly genuine relationship with anybody. for the few she had, in her desperation to maintain them, she uses her powers to wipe or to control, thus tainting them again. cycle continues. cate is a victim, but she’s also the violator.

#yamtalks ⋆ AITA? caitvi. ⌢ ★ ?

[yameoto]

The REAL question is Quinn Fabray an alpha or omega cause on one hand? Complete brat, needy, just wants to be moved underneath that hard exterior. On the other? Cocky, arrogant SOB who just loves watching people buckle for her.

warning (for future yam): glee abo/verse talk..

gnawing at my bottom lip in thought. because yes omega!quinn would make so much sense. teen pregnancy aside. raised in midwest episcopalian family as daddy's little girl, where omega!wives are the expectation. the standard. like look at her! attending chastity balls, head of the celibacy club, dressed in all those babydoll dresses. she was probably a pageant kid, too. literally born and bred just to be some alpha man's darling housewife. being an omega would just slot that perfectly well. that was the expectation for her. her mother was. her sister was. obviously she has to be. else she's a motherfucking disappointment!

thinking about her being bullied in her old district being enabled by omegas being seen as weak and glorified fucktoys. of course when quinn is reimagining herself completely, she'd pose as an alpha. downing suppressants by the bottle as soon as she moves to mckinley so it never happens to her again. so that her position as head bitch is fucking unquestionable. no wonder she's the head of celibacy club. it'd make babygate that much more stripping. because it'd reveal her biological status as well as the whole finnpuck debacle and the taboo of teen pregnancy in itself. it'd lose her the respect she fought so hard for.

but like alsoooo god her family expecting and desperately wanting her to be an omega would make her being an alpha so much more delicious. like oh. she is a fucking disappointment. they didnt even think it was a possibility. but look at her. she's defying all logic. and thats why she's so repressed and thats why she crashes and burns like a trainwreck because now she has to cram herself in a box that's not fit for her. it's why she's so desperate to align with her family's ideals, why she's constantly searching for a token alpha boyfriend, like proof that she can be what her family wants. like look daddy i can be your everything i can ican i can but she can't and she almost kills herself trying. also aligns with her HBIC viciousness and fierceee independence (ignoring the fact this is forced on her throughout the show bc she almost always has nobody in her corner). plus her constant warring for the alpha bitch position w with santana.. i know that cheerios lockerroom reeks of pheremones.
