Pearletta - Bc I Need To Express My Thoughts Sometimes

Seeing multiple men on tiktok (because of course) praising Cassian for being “such a good guy” and saying “Nesta doesn’t deserve him” is scary. But unfortunately not surprising in the the least bit.

How can you read about Cassian

locking Nesta in a house house she can’t escape without his help

laughing at Nesta physically harming herself

telling Nesta everybody hates her

Throwing a temper tantrum and yelling at Nesta in public when Nesta doesn’t want to accept the mating bond

Taking advantage of Nesta and using her for sex when he knows she is in a bad mental state and using sex as a coping mechanism

Not to mention Cassian locking her in a house making him her only option for sex which he knows that’s her only coping mechanism now that he’s taken alcohol away from her.

And not come to the conclusion that he is an abusive piece of shit. Like I said it’s scary men see Cassian as “good person”

I genuinely haven't laughed so hard in months, but because people found out that the CEO of meta gave bribes to the government both in cash and stocks to ban TikTok, people are fleeing in droves to Rednote which is the actual Chinese version of TikTok AND leaving meta! He didn't lose users to TikTok but now that he's playing ringmaster to be funny, he's finding out the clowns can be fucking hilarious! Anyways, I'm now learning Mandarin, and I can't figure out why I can't change my profile pic but it's a rubber ducky so I'm cool with it.

person 1, surprisingly sober given the question that they ask: soo... is human taxidermy... legal?

person 2: yeah, ofc, what do you think, that the wax figures in museums are actually wax?

person 3: *lets out a slight screech/scream and slams their head on their desk*

I didn't want to hijack some poor innocent's fashion post of Nicola Coughlan to explain this. But listennn, I know she is not a perfect canon cast or whatever. But the vibe is Elain Archeron. The vibe is Elain and the girls that get it get it.

my reasons for going to the gym:

❌ losing weight

❌ mental health benefits

✅ so i can be a buff bisexual and attract girls instead of greasy gamer boys

DOES ANYONE ELSE WHO WATCHES SHAMELESS FEEL LIKE THE REASON THEY RELATE TO LITERALLY ALL OF THE GALLAGHER KIDS BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN ALL 3: THE OLDER SIBLING (FIONA & LIP), THE MIDDLE CHILD (IAN DEBBIE & CARL), AND THE YOUNGER CHILD (LIAM) BC UR THE MIDDLE ONE OR IS THAT JUST ME

female rage in literature is very personal to me

Disclaimer: this is about fiction and narrative, which are based on rhyme and reason, every action a character makes is a deliberate choice by the author so unlike with real life, it's possible to question the motive of these actions

I'm legit asking btw, please tell me if you know

Besides switching the narrative from Tamlin to Rhysand (going from Amarantha's dark obsession with Tam to her habitual abuse of Rhys) what did sjm gain from making Amarantha a rapist?

Character wise, she was already evil, with an actually interesting backstory so why?

In the "original" storyline, inspired by the Ballad of Tamlin, it makes sense for Amarantha to want Tamlin, ultimately the story boils down to a heroine saving the hero from the fairy queen. Therefore the idea of her assaulting him once she finally has him is in character and in alignment with the story

But in the context of final product, what was the point of Amarantha's sexual abuse of Rhysand? It only ever matters once, and that's so Rhysand can skirt the responsibility of his own actions against Feyre.

So why not just have Rhys not assault Feyre? Have him be cruel but specifically forgo the sexual element

Ianthe, at least, seeks power in every possible way. It makes sense that she would go to such lengths, especially with how bloodlines hold magic etc

But Amarantha? What's the point? She could just as easily enslaved Rhysand or held someone hostage or made a bargain.

My personal opinion is that sjm has a twisted, but unfortunately common, notion of sexual interest - whether reciprocated or not - being a badge of honour, for women but especially for men.

She thinks she's showing us how desirable and literally irresistible the character is by making them a victim
