giving birth sucks tbh. not only do you and the baby you’re birthing almost die, usually you shit yourself and often you tear your taint. then you have to push an organ out of your body (placenta) and if even a little of that remains in your body, you can hemorrhage to death or develop an infection that essentially rots your body from the inside out. even if you had a relatively “easy birth”, you bleed for weeks on end. even after that stops, your body and brain is changed for the rest of your life, the pregnancy leeched minerals from your bones, that can cause osteoporosis later. minor urinary incontinence is not uncommon, brain scans of people who gave birth show permanent changes in their brain, you’re never quite the same.
I say all of this not to say giving birth is disgusting but it is a harrowing and visceral experience. society downplays how fucking awful it is and makes it out to be a ~magical~ experience but it isn’t a magical transformative experience for everyone. it can be an extremely traumatic experience for someone who wanted to carry a pregnancy to term, much more so for someone who did not want to be pregnant in the first place or someone who knows their baby won’t survive the birth. anyway, abortion is a right. pregnancy and birth aren’t just inconvenient, it’s fucking awful.

Can’t believe I’m saying it but I really respect Luther. Like genuinly, he grew as a person, acknowledges his mistakes and showed that he could be better.
the experience creating art on tumblr and twitter is so wildly different because it’s like
twitter: you make one post that does not cater to the incredibly specific niche interest you have catered and 15 of your followers scatter like mice
tumblr: half my dash is DC Comics. I do not remember following a DC blog. I follow several DC fanartists and apparently have been for several years. I have no idea when they became DC artists. I have never read a DC comic nor do I have any interest in doing so. I will not be unfollowing.
If anyone has any fan fictions where klaus just snaps and starts going off about something to his siblings please send me links I had very specific hopes for season 2 and they were not fulfilled

my fatal flaw is that if i don't want to do something i just won't do it like mama raised a quitter for sure.. i'll be doing something and suddenly be like damn what if i just didn't 🤔. very freeing but also i suffer so many consequences
fun fact i’ve seen the most racism come out of the tua fandom than any other fandom i’ve ever been in
Tick tick tick I agree with everything you just said
What's your take of the whole Klaus and Dave thing. Like they're relationship, his death, the way Klaus deals with it, and Klaus seeing him in the 60s. I think they're amazing and deserved better, I also think it was some bullshit that Ben was like eW tHaTs StAlKiNg AnD iTs GrOsS aNd CrEePy. Thank you 🙂
It is maybe not my most woke take but I love all of it. Especially with the s2 development of Klaus saving Dave's life. But I'll go through point by point!
Their relationship: I think that their relationship is a testimate to the skill of the writers. They made us miss it, and they made it feel real. It's clear to me that Klaus loved Dave and Dave loved Klaus. The scenes we get of them in s1 are intimate and sweet and sexy and beautiful. I totally believe in them and that it happened, and I think emphasizing absence is brilliant.
His death: I've often said this is why Tumblr would deem me bad queer rep, but I like sad stories. I think Dave's death is fascinating and beautiful and it does seriously important work in s1 AND s2. In s1 it encourages Klaus to be more vulnerable and more actively caring, because that is who Dave was and Klaus sees he isn't like that. In s2, Dave's death drives Klaus to try and FAIL at being caring and selfless and open in a way that I think will ultimately lead to some very interesting destruction.
60s: I think having Dave be a baby this season was so, so smart. Klaus's best case scenario was that he makes it so he never meets the love of his life. Klaus is not happy and he isn't allowed to be. I think this is all leading to a snap. And I ultimately think it's leading to Klaus and Dave as endgame. I think it's gorgeous.
Ben has always used Dave to influence Klaus. In s1 he says that Dave would expect better of him than relapse, which isn't true. Dave loved Klaus as an addict and did not put stipulations on it. Ben uses Klaus's love for Dave to try to get what he wants, and then this season calls Dave a "Vietnam fling" and it is fucked! I like it a lot. I think it's great writing. Ben has been sidelined and used by Klaus in unfair ways and Dave is leverage and a way to hurt Klaus and it makes sense he uses it. That said, it's fucked and untrue. Klaus trying to save Dave's life without ever engaging with him romantically or sexually is not stalking. Klaus left him alone for 3 years. I think that the relationship between Klaus and Ben had degraded, possibly beyond repair. It fascinates me.
Imo, Klaus and Dave are endgame. We haven't seen the last of them, at the very least. I am excited by what comes next and I love what we've had before.
