Listen...I Was Already Gay But The Way You Draw Haley Makes Me Even More Homosexual 👌👌👌

ena's finally proud of her work

how does being punched in the face feel like

anyway for the record, yes, so-and-so did use girl power when she committed a bunch of murders. it's called girl power not girl ethics or girl qualms or girl wisdom or whatnot.

Currently watching Wednesday.

gosh okay. i’m still having a pinch me moment over this. i’ve spent about a year and a half on tumblr and reaching 5000 is just… crazy to me. like, imagining that many people in a room is horrifying. i know it’s just a value at the end of the day, but in all honesty, i’m a little scared of the number. scared but so so grateful. i will never be anything but grateful for the attention and love this story has received. truly. 

i don’t know how to thank you all correctly, but in honour of the milestone, i will be hosting a small giveaway. as as last time, please make sure you’re following me and reblog this post if you want to enter. i’ll close the giveaway on the 25th of november and dm the winners on here, so make sure your messages are open as well.

prizes.

a 1000 word drabble with your hunter and an ro of your choice (platonic or romantic) or a fun drabble between two ros

a 500 word drabble (same rules as above)

early access to the next short story i’m writing for the midnight hours: shorts, which can be found on my itch.io page

good luck and thank you again!! i know i’ve said this a million times over but truly, i’ll say it a million more times. for a girl like me, this entire experience has been a fucking dream.

Not sure what was the vision here

something that i really like about blue eye samurai, now that im thinking about it, is that it discusses violence against women without becoming torture porn. like, in a lot of media that portrays women's issues, they show you that scene. like they give you this extended visual of a woman experiencing something traumatic and then laud themselves as feminist for doing so.

blue eye samurai doesn't do that. the whole show is set in a world that is extremely antagonistic toward women, and it makes a point to tell you that being a woman right now sucks, because they are property and are used sexually. but even though it doesn't shy away from this, it doesn't show you the violence itself, which you would almost expect it to because of how graphic the rest of the show is.

im thinking specifically of kinuyo. they very well could have shown us a scene of her being abused, but they didn't. they didn't show the abuse itself, but they did show how it affected her. they showed her seeing a doctor for her sores. they could have made this incredibly traumatic and grotesque scene a spectacle, showing us exactly how powerless she is and how powerful he is. they could have shown us this incredibly triggering event in full detail for our entertainment, but they didn't. they chose not to. and i think that's how it should be.

it is not necessary to have an extended visual and auditory reenactment of violence against women. we the audience understood the gravity of the situation and were able to empathize without needing that scene. having that scene would have completely detracted from the point they are trying to make. it would have turned something completely reprehensible that women everywhere fear because it's a very real issue into entertainment.

With the recent influx of more Twitter refugees from dsmptwt I think now is the best time to remind people:

Dsmp fandom, please REBLOG posts

Likes on tumblr act as a bookmarking function. There is no algorithm here. Reblogs are the only way a post will get shared, and the only way a blog can grow. The tumblr fandom may be more chill than twitter but its much harder for fanarts and analyses to circulate if you don't reblog their stuff.

If you're on mobile you can use the fast-reblog option! Hold down on the reblog button of a post, then move your finger to the icon of whichever one of your blogs you want to reblog it to:

It's quick, simple, and super easy so if you aren't already doing that then I highly recommend you do so!!

[Edit: and as mentioned by ppl in the tags, the shortcut is e + reblog button on desktop 👍]
