you ever think about the intricacies of smoke & stack's dynamic and go fucking crazy?

their abusive father zeroing in on stack as the outlet for his beatings, smoke killing their daddy, half way done burying him by the time stack came to - smoke being the BIG BROTHER from the start, keeping stack safe - stack becoming who he is - bit reckless, full of charisma and whimsy because of smoke, in a way, shielding him from the world ("doesn't know how to watch his own back").

thinking of smoke saying how stack is the best thing about him, how stack talks a big game but how it's smoke who kills the snake, smoke who shoots two men for stealing out of his truck, smoke who pulls a gun on sammie and pearline. does he ever think he got more of their daddy in him than stack? where stack can connect with people in a way smoke can't quite follow. stack laying out clothes for him, doing his hair, rolling his cigarettes- giving smoke back some of what the war took.

but I also can't help but think that there is this slight ....almost paternalistic element at times - the way stack looks around for smoke when he's with mary, worried he'll be caught, worried he'll displease him and yet that thing he says when he's turned "don't let that witch come between us again" - there's no doubt that stack loves annie and is clearly DISTRAUGHT when smoke kills her but ...was there ever resentment? did he ever feel betrayed? was it ever only meant to be the two of them against the world?

"he was the best thing about me" "i ain't doing it without you there ain't no me without you" "sorry for not keeping you safe - you always did" the way stack is just that one person smoke can't kill, the way the only time he wavers in his resolve is when his vampire brother talks with him.

(this is borderline incoherent but I have a lot of thoughts)

me when sexualized design is appealing to me: I love being a pervert this is the correct way to be

me when sexualized design is not appealing to me: all of you are fucking lame and stupid get better taste

me when my heart is ripped off my torso by a dragon: oh fuck

i need yall to know that the whole “dildos/strap-ons are nothing like penises” debate was started by terfs. a couple decades ago, it was totally switched around — the common terf opinion was that lesbians shouldn’t use dildos or strap-ons BECAUSE they’re penis simulacra. like, you can even find old Dykes To Watch Out For strips about Bechdel’s self-insert Mo beiung dumbstruck over the fact that other lesbians use strap-ons. As soon as it was obvious that straps and dildos are here to stay in the cultural lesbian zeitgeist, all the terfs pivoted to how strap-ons are nothing like penises at all and you’re an evil male interloper if you point out “that isn’t even what you were saying thirty seconds ago?”

it disturbs me that a significant number of people think that the issue with sexual violence, gendered violence, and misogyny is sexual desire rather than dehumanization, so they are relentlessly suspicious of others' (and their own) desires while simultaneously never at all interrogating others' (and their own) dehumanizing beliefs about other people, both within and outside of sexual contexts

i love this tweet bc it’s the exact same genre of culturally tapped in unnecessary haterism i also peddle in
