[cws: drugging, SA and SA apologia, fantasy racism/ableism, forced institutionalization.]
-
i know i never shut up about it but god i am still just. So Salty about how the show handles the dynamic between mayor jones and pericles for many reasons, and one of the biggest is that there are really strong overtones here of sexual assault.
a character who already brings to mind the Slimy, Shady Cis White Guy with Buried Allegations archetype:
takes advantage of the trust of someone who's doing something with him in secret--
(which will get that person in a disproportionate amount of trouble compared to him, if they're discovered)
--to catch him off guard so he can grab him, drug him, and do violent things to his body while he's unconscious; scars him for life in a way that is disabling and should cause a lot of ongoing suffering, which, like many other things that should have a strong negative impact on him physically or psychologically, the writers ignore; and dumps him there alone to discover what's been done to him when he wakes up.
specifically, he does this to someone from a marginalized group that's highly unlikely to be believed if they tell anyone what he did--and going by the fact that mayor jones never got in any trouble until present day, he wasn't.
goes out of the way to ruin the life of the victim and discredit him as thoroughly as possible, because he's a loose end and he needs to shut him up.
flees the scene and gets away scot free with this for twenty years, has a successful privileged career and is considered a pillar of the community in the meantime.
when his dirty secret, which he's been paranoid about finally facing consequences for after the victim has recently become a risk again, is discovered, it's a huge career-ending scandal.
is redeemed by the end, while his victim goes on to be the Monstrous Irredeemable Pure Evil Main Villain and also sexually abuse someone himself, which is played as horrific and traumatizing (as it should be).
more specifically, is portrayed as showing redeeming, heroic anti-villain qualities by backhanding the victim into a wall as hard as he can in present day.
me: hm. yeah fuck this
#sdmi#scooby doo: mystery incorporated#professor pericles#fred jones sr.#SDMItag#SDMIcrit tag#the crit files#cws in post#like. jesus christ dude.#i'm guessing there's probably been You Can't Like Mayor Jones He's Abusive discourse before; i don't want to contribute to it or anything#no shade to mayor jones enjoyers y'all have fun#but holy shit i do not like this man lmfao#this isn't even getting into the fact that it is extremely easy to read pericles as a victim of *other* SA both metaphorical and literal#(metaphorical: the entity groomed him his entire life)#(literal: the creators intentionally made reference with him; onscreen; to Inappropriate Handling that happens to parrots in real life)#(he comes from a world where people assume there is zero difference between him and an animal; and would probably touch him the same way)#(no one would have *recognized* it was inappropriate and there is not a chance in hell he would have been allowed to say stop)#(many many MANY things about his character immediately make sense with that reading whether the writers thought it through that far or not)#(which i have a Whole Post planned to go into; but this bit was enough of a detour that i felt like it should just be its own post lmao)#also re: scarred for life and ongoing suffering + disability as a result: on a literal level a scar like that would hurt like a *bitch*#especially with the complete lack of medical care it seems to have gotten; going by how it looks. it would be a huge source of chronic pain#on a not-literal level: boy howdy what a metaphor!#anyway yeah i would say this is roughly equivalent to if they'd had ricky finally get free from the snakes after twenty years#had him go into a Scary Evil Villain Spiral after while completely ignoring how horrifying it was or the trauma it'd have caused him#had pericles gloat about having pulled off injecting the snakes; and say he should have lived 'the rest of his miserable life' that way#and not only had no one go 'wtf' at any of that but given him a Redeeming Moment where he incapacitates ricky with venom again#and also tried to frame ricky as deserving the snakes/having done it to himself because he Did Bad Things while looking for the treasure#and also had him abuse someone partly in reaction to them mocking him over the snakes; and saying that being tortured and abused with them#for twenty years makes him unfit to be anything but subordinate. on a watsonian level ricky's standing up for himself against abuse but jfc#don't get me wrong there are definitely still differences in their dynamics but yeah i am not happy about it lmfao

forced to once again remember how shadow is laughing when he says "i think i figured out what the ultimate lifeform is! it might be you!"
#speaking#he says this while literally actively dying in space losing energy enough that he isn't too prideful to say straight up#that he can't last very long like this while sonic's almost every voice line has some variant of 'shadow you okay?!?!'#he just fucking. laughs. i can only imagine it's that tired exhausted manic state that makes him go 'haha ... sonic!!!'#insane to me. like . jesus christ dude. what the fuck.#i was gonna say this is an unhinged reaction to reframing your entire life and purpose but at the same time i guess he already did that#smth smth 'i have to keep my promise to maria ... and you' (dies) (im talking about myself but him too he dies too)

remember the episode where they went to a Supernatural convention in season 5 at some hotel with a fake ghost hunt at a hotel with some real ass ghosts
Remember that German guy at the convention who said “Why in every fight scene, Samand Dean are having their gun knocked away by the bad guy? Why don't they keep it on some kind of bungee?”
Why didn’t they ever do that
that was actually really good advice and would have saved them a LOT of trouble.
#spn#Like Jesus Christ dude it’s like every episode just listen to German man’s advice#sam winchester#dean winchester#sam and dean#supernatural#genuine question#confused

four months into getting to know each other, shouto finds him by touya-nii's shrine. his little brother gently sits down beside him and offers a small prayer.
"yumi-nee-san," natsuo wonders if his little brother will ever drop the second honorific, "said you were the closest to him," shouto says quietly.
after all these years and the use of past tense still makes his heart break. 'you are the closest to him' he wants to correct but that wouldn't make sense anymore. touya-nii hasn't been talked about in the present tense since before middle school. does shouto even remember a time before nii-san's dea-, disappearance?
"yeah, i was," he says, eyes never leaving the photo. it's the one nii-san took for sixth-grade picture day. kaa-san had got him all dressed up and he had hated it. somedays he thinks if he looks close enough, he'll see the displeased pout on nii-san face. "why?"
his little brother says nothing for a long time, back ramrod straight. natsuo has no idea what's going on in that head of his. shouto has so few tells that he's practically a blank slate. natsuo hates his father.
then slowly and so quietly, he has to strain his ears to catch it, shouto stammers out, "do-, do you think he would have liked me?"
natsuo's immediate reaction is to say 'yes'. yes, of course, touya-nii would've loved you. yes, of course, touya-nii would've crossed the heavens for you. yes, of course, he would've loved you shouto; you're his precious younger brother.
but he remembers the way nii-san used to spit out shouto's name when he was a kid. the way his brother's mouth wrapped around it, the face he made, like he had just eaten something disgusting. he remembers the way touya-nii had become almost crazed by the end, hellbent on proving himself the rightful heir to their shitty father's legacy. he remembers the way touya-nii had said, "i just need to prove that i'm better than him,"; the 'him' said with such bitterness and contempt.
he knows instantly that touya-nii would not have liked shouto. that this house and his father would have twisted any ounce of love, nii-san would've held towards shouto, into jealousy and hatred.
(this house may have ruined all of them but it only ever broke two of them.)
natsuo can't say any of that to shouto. his kind little brother who forgave him for not being there. his amazing little brother who falls in love with every cat he sees. his wonderful little brother who has a wickedly dry sense of humor. his soft baby brother who loves him and yumi-nee with a passion. his tender-hearted baby brother who still worries if his long-gone older brother would've liked him.
no, natsuo can't tell shouto that nii-san wouldn't have like him. shouto will internalize it like he does with everything else that hurts him. and there is already so much that hurts shouto, he will not add to that list. his baby brother smiles these days, nothing big like his green-haired friend, but quiet, lovely, ones all the same. shouto talks more these days. they have dinner together when natsuo is home. his baby brother laughs now. it's a miracle like nothing else in this world.
shouto is the best thing to come out of their house and natsuo will die before he ever hurts his little brother. so instead, he curls an arm around shouto's shoulders and pulls him into a loose side-hug.
"of course!" he lies cheerfully, ignoring the ache in his chest, "touya-nii would've loved you. you're his — and our —precious little brother after all. there is no universe in which he wouldn't have loved you."
the tips of his baby brother's ears go red and his pleased little answering smile makes the ache of lie go away. natsuo will tell a thousand more lies if it means shouto never stops smiling like that.
#PLEASE THEY MAKE ME INSANE!!!!#and the thing is natsuo's not wrong. touya really would've loved shouto in literally any other universe#also natsuo who fucking /adores/ his baby brother so much#shouto laughs and natsu's like: the second coming of jesus christ could not compare to this#100% natsu is shouto's overprotective brother#it's the like 15 years of suppressed older sibling instincts coming out#someone fucking looks are shou wrong and natsu's all up in their face like: what's your fuckin issue with my bro dude??#natsuo for once being thankful that he got endeavor's height and build#fuyu: i thought you said you didn't like looking like dad?#natsu: that was before i found out i could use it to intimidate people that looked a shouto wrong#fuyu: natsu you think every1 looks at shou wrong. you tried to fistfight a baby yesterday#natsu: yeah well it shouldn't have cried when shou held it. did you see how sad shou looked????#fuyu: never pegged you for a brocon to be honest#natsu: you take that back rn#todoroki shouto#todoroki natsuo#todoroki touya#todoroki fuyumi#todoroki family#bnha

How do I convey the sentiment of 'im tired of my cis male acquaintences assuming im interested in them sexually despite making it clear i was really uncomfortable with the way they were talking to me' without sounding like a raging femcel. i feel like im doing something wrong at this point to have this happen to me so much. I literally just want to chill and play with my toys do this shit to somebody else not me
#Cannot stop thinking about tht dude from wow who told me 'yeah you like being tied up dont you' when i said i didnt wanna be in that dungeon#Completely unprompted. like jesus christ leave me the fuck alone man ive done everythign in my power to indicate im not interested in you

the way this fic builds the tension so gradually that you genuinely DONT EXPECT IT when it SNAPS on you oh my god. oh my god. "that careful character of terus was not returning." followed by "yesterday was thursday, isari." guess ill just. guess ill just jump off the fucking roof. guess ill jsut rip my shirt open and yell
#i wish i could explaint o my husband why this is making me like sick. physically ill#AGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH#sorry i wouldnt normally even talk about reading a fic on here but its. very very long. im on i think chapter 32 of 47?#and theyre long chapters. im reading basically a wholeass book right now#multiple books even#and ive never read a fic structured like this in my life#normally if theyre going to make a character insufferable they have to work on rectifying it within a chapter or two#like an apology to the reader#no im 32 in and ritsu is the worst. the worst. hes literally becoming a bona fide villain. its insane#ive never read a fic like this before. jesus christ dude#im still reeling from. from the fact that they were both at the mall and that was hours of reading ago

tom taylor is so fucking annoying and im tired of anyone pretending he’s not
#ik most people in my circle of dc followers/mutuals on here are in agreement on this but#daily i see ppl dickriding him and just. Enough. im not saying he’s evil but he’s so fucking tone deaf#yes this is in reference to how he responded to the dixon situation today.#you don’t thank a fucking bigoted asshole who was purposefully spreading misinfo so he could be homophobic about it#in your tweet politely correcting him. like. jesus fucking christ grow a backbone my dude#‘oh it was classy’ shut uppppp there is no reason for someone who totes themselves as such a dedicated lgbtq+ ally as tom taylor does#to publicly directly thank a bigoted asshat like dixon. there is just No Reason#it would have been so easy to just A) fucking ignore it and not give Dixon the attention#he was clearly trying to get or B) correct him about it being an edited panel and just… leave it at that!#but no. no he could not just do that.#grandpa max is god? i go to church now#anyway. its 3am and im annoyed.
