So many people will be outright antagonistic to any acknowledgment of Dean's abusive tendencies and insist you "just enjoy the show" as if abuse is something tangential that people project onto the characters and not intrinsically linked with Supernatural's themes. Imagine if anytime you tried to discuss John's abuse of Sam and Dean, people said that it was unnecessary hair splitting. This isn't about cancelling Dean, or woobifying Sam or Jack. It's just a part of the show we are watching.

okay someone has probably said this before but i only just got to act 3 so i don't dare go into the tags to find it

but it's so fucking creepy that mizora replaced his eye with a sending stone tuned to her

like. THAT'S HIS EYE. can he see through it no but that's his fucking eye. and in the same battle that ruined his life she uses that newfound disability, that newly hollow place, and fills it with herself

like i can believe he lost his eye in the fighting or at least lost functionality of it due to smth cutting across the surface of it or smth

but the way that that is then used by mizora to spy on him, to track him—this message that he isn't his own, no matter what he does, because he sold his soul for his city and lost everything for it, and really, why wouldn't his own body be the next thing to go?

you see this again if you save karlach, and mizora turns him into a devil

this message of you are not your own, you are mine, and i can do what i please with you

and it's SO FUCKED UP. IT'S SO FUCKED UP.

especially considering how she ruined his life and then keeps cutting at him in little slices, little bits of cruelty and condescension where he can't fight back until he internalizes it, how long has it been since anyone cared for him and not just what he could do for them

and on top of that his fucking eye is a sending stone tuned into mizora and he can never even be truly alone

hpd+bpd culture is wishing you got gr##med like someone you knew, because once they called out their ab#ser they got so much attention and comfort for it, then feeling awful for constantly having feelings like this.

When I was a kid, I regularly lost reading privileges for "having an attitude" and "acting out".

It wasn't as simple as being told not to read during other activities- one of the first times it happened, I remember being six years old, watching my stepfather pull fistfuls of books off my bookshelf and throw them to the floor in a heaping mess while I cried and asked him to stop.

It was weird. Every other adult I knew described me as exceptionally well-behaved, but at home, it was the opposite, and it was blamed on "learning bad habits from that shit you're reading".

Because I couldn't read at home, I spent all my free time at school in the library, reading with my friends.

When I grew up and moved away, I realized that my family life was toxic and abusive, and the "attitudes" I was being punished for were standing up for myself, standing up for my younger siblings, and resisting actual, real-life psychological abuse. Because I'd learned from what I'd read that my family wasn't normal, not like my parents said it was, and in my stories, the heroes were the people who spoke out when it was hard to.

It is insane to me that there are students right now who can't access books. It is insane that books are being outlawed. It is perverse that we are stealing away an entire generation's ability to contextualize their lives, to learn about the world around them, to develop critical thinking skills and express themselves and feel connected to the world or escape from it, whatever and whenever and however they need.

That is not how you raise a compassionate, thoughtful, powerful society.

That's how you process cattle.

It's fucking disgusting.

my mind keeps circling back to "my silence was his peace" because that only proves truer by the hour. i am overflowing with respect for shubble; the amount of bravery and vulnerability it must take to put yourself in a position to be a catalyst like that is staggering. wishing her nothing but peace and happiness from here on out.

it really is crazy how women abusing men is still regularly (if "jokingly") viewed as a positive thing. like literally today i was talking to someone about having watched both misery & sunset boulevard in a film class & both of those being about men being abused by women & the person's response was smth like. haha yeah that's so empowering. like obviously these are fictional characters but y'all realize that treating individual human men like poppets to punish Mankind for it's Sins is fucked up and evil yeah. also this directly translates into how trans men are treated as free punching bags for people to take out their anger at more powerful cis men. idk call me crazy but i feel like if you can't hear about men being abused by women without making a "joke" about it maybe you just have a deep problem you need to work on

instagram post: *video of a woman gently encouraging a hesitant child to go down a slide*

the first comment: this woman is violently pressuring her child to do something that they are clearly terrified to do, children should NEVER have to do anything they don't want to do, this kid is being abused and will grow up to hate their mother i hope someone calls cps on her

the second comment: kids are so thin skinned these days if it were my kid i would push it down the slide and laugh at it if it cried. this is the only way we will win the culture war

the third comment: she should have used a condom. this would make a great condom ad. no one cares that someone came in you. kids are not human. i hate kids so much.

the fourth comment: DM ME """HELP""" 🤝💪😤 I AM PAYING OFF DEBT OF FIRST 5 🎉 TO DM 💯💯💵💵 DON'T MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY 😍

coming across posts on tumblr you have only seen off tumblr/in screenshots is like finally being able to see the mona lisa in real life but instead of taking a trip to go see it the painting is just thrown through your window every once in a while, like that one time where my dad threw an entire frozen pizza right at my face after accidentally letting some of the pepperonis dropped to the floor when I was 11, it was actually really traumatizing to me at that age but looking at it now its just funny and if I brought it up to him we would laugh and laugh except we wouldn’t laugh because he’s in prison for abuse and fraud charges, I haven’t seen him in a while. Like that one tumblr post

End the occupation, ceasefire permanently, free all Palestinian prisoners, and free Palestine!! The IOF are full of depraved monsters.

While Tim was setting up the final touches to rig Ra's base to blow, he finds someone that could be his carbon copy in the dungeons. The guy is unconscious, chained to the wall with multiple chains, and branded.

Tim, obviously, grabs Pru for a last minute extraction and gets the prisoner the hell out of there.

He knows this isn't a clone, because the earlobes are different, as is the brow shape and hair thickness. This is just...someone that apparently looked enough like Tim that Ra's, unconfirmed but APPARENTLY, decided to use to take out his aggression. Probably whenever Tim didn't listen.

They get the doppleganger out, get him treated, and he still isn't waking up. Tim takes him back to Gotham. The dude doesn't wake up. Gets him secured in the Bunker with Alfred. Alfred reports that the under-fed teen isn't waking up.

They get Bruce back.

Bruce goes to take a look at the ex-prisoner once he's recovered. Bruce gets Zatanna.

Zatanna tells them that the brand is acting as a seal, and the only way to get the kid to wake up is to disrupt the seal. But warns them that said seal only works on Beings from the Realm between Realms, and that to unleash one that had been abused would surely lead to the destruction of their own.

Tim calls bullshit.

Or; Danny was tricked and trapped by Ra's, who was siphoning blood out of him to add to the Pits and increase their efficacy. Tim finds Danny, misreads the situation, and rescues him. Now, even though Danny would probably just roll over and go back to sleep, JLD is telling the Bats that if they break the seal then he'll destroy the world. Tim disagrees.

I didn't realize your reasons and I didn't know your plans, until I became the same age you were back then and it horrifies me. I wish you had done more so I could prove the world I am right, and I wish you had done nothing to me at all. Isn't it weird how it works?

"Ccs only spoke up now and were gonna let him continue this behavior" do you have any fucking understanding how manipulative people work, you ignorant cunt?

Not to mention most of those who are speaking out were fucking children when they met him

*goes up to person who is being stalked by their abuser and is actively trying to avoid them* errrrrm have you considered why an ABUSER feels so comfortable in your spaces?????? other people get kicked out by abusers while they want to let you live with them, how can you not see how privileged you are???? you need to take some responsibility for how much your abuser wants to be around you. tbh you are probably also an abuser or will become one in a few years anyways. yes this post is about TERF conversion therapy directed at transmascs
