This has probably been said before but I really hate/get a laugh out of when people say shit along the lines of:
“Well yeah the Fire Nation was bad and all but they employed female soldiers so at least they weren’t sexist yk 🤷♀️🤷♀️”
Like,,,,, my brother in Christ,,,,,
I feel that I don’t even need to explain this but I will.
The Fire Nation from 1-100AG was an imperialist selfish conquest. They committed genocide over one nation, leaving a single survivor. They killed and tortured and traumatised millions of innocent citizens just at the notion that they were ‘spreading their glory’. It was a mass regime that took away culture and community from what was a beautiful and peaceful place to live. The Firelords from Sozin up until Zuko were cruel and autocratic and only wanted what their twisted view of love and fame was from the world. This all continued for one hundred motherfucking years and only came to a stop when the Avatar finally returned, only came to a stop when someone was brave enough, had nothing to lose, was so shamed and guilted by a genocide of their people that wasn’t even his fault. That’s what the Fire Nation was.
So to hear some people say shit like ‘well at least they weren’t sexist’….
Maybe they weren’t. Maybe they did employ female soldiers and treat them like people. But you know who they didn’t treat like people? The rest of the entire fucking world.
They dehumanised the airbenders, made them seem violent and warped their citizens views of them to make sure there was no empathy. They discriminated against the Water Tribes, thought them weak and inferior and didn’t even bother with the South after they’d wiped them out due to their own cockiness. They destroyed and damaged the Earth Kingdom, forever traumatising and devastating so many citizens to the point where some resorted to robbery and murder and crime.
So maybe the Fire Nation itself didn’t treat women unfairly, but they did to the rest of the world. It’s okay to make that as a general statement, but to use that as a justification for everything they did?
Completely fucking insane.
To bring some light to this, one of the responses I could’ve come up with when I saw shit like this was just:

cl/eon would be good if it didn’t mean the death of claire’s character . Like every time I see content for them I feel like people are pushing them into this super heteronormative dynamic that isn’t accurate to claire at All or completely misinterpreting her in other ways or just erasing everything about her to service Leon. This is why they need to be in a lesbian relationship in this essay I will

the thing about jomaria is that in the canon setting with what we have, they would NEVER get together. At least with all the zokevitomaria love triangle stuff going on, I can’t even see Anne Maria considering Jo’s dating potential. At the very least I can see some subconscious crushing like a passing glance “oh you’re cute” but that’s it. Maybe at most one sided on Jo’s side, like she’s annoyed with Anne Maria’s feminine habits but she’s still like eh that’s kind of hot though. Maybe post show when Vito’s out of the picture and she’s allowed to focus on something outside of him and then she starts talking with Jo for some reason then I could see them possibly getting together. And Jo unpacks all her internalized misogyny. But at least during their time on island, Jo and Anne Maria would never date imo

hi friend 🩷 i am a huge fan of your joel x reader fics. i have a question that is kind of personal, so please feel free to ignore if you are not comfortable answering. i didn’t realize you were a lesbian until i saw your post for lesbian day of visibility. i am just wondering if/why you enjoy writing joel x reader or any other male character x reader romance/smut stories as a lesbian? or is it like not something you personally are into, you’re just writing bc someone requested it? i truly hope this does not come off as offensive - i am a straight woman so i am truly just curios. again, feel free to ignore if this is too invasive. love you so much, thank you for sharing your stories with us!! 🫶🏻
Hi! I’m so glad you enjoy the fics and this is such an interesting question!!
I do really enjoy writing for Joel and other male characters even as a lesbian!! In my head, I’m writing more for consumption by women (I use this term very loosely to include my friends beyond the binary) and pleasure for women. I grew up reading and writing straight stories (either fic or literature) and so I’ve never really felt strange about reading or writing it now! I think if I’m really drawn in by the story (The Last of Us, Narcos, Daredevil, etc.,) it feels more like an exercise in analyzing character/story details and writing things that I’m personally interested in like I wrote OFTM because I like the idea that Joel could’ve been in a band and they could’ve been successful and then how would that change what his life looks like? I don’t ever feel obligated to write anything and have definitely passed up some requests because I wasn’t comfy writing whatever it was at the time but I genuinely love creating loving, healthy relationships (and making them work a little hard for it) in my stories
For reading male character x reader romance or smut, it’s a thing of knowing it’s, more than likely, written by a woman and a direct expression of female sexuality which is not only empowering but it’s also HOT so while I’m not keen to have sex with someone with a penis irl, it’s still fun to read my silly little smutty stories and kick my feet in bed
I hope this answered your question and thank you so so much for reading and sticking around!!

talking to all the companions after visiting jaheiras house and everyone gives their unique, and equally heartbreaking, version of “i wish i had a family” (karlach especially with her wishing she’d met jaheira sooner so she could’ve worked for her instead of gortash) and then you get to astarion expecting a comment about conditions in szarr palace or his dynamic with his ‘siblings’ but instead he’s the only one who correctly comments that jaheira is a terrible mother
