You don't even wanna know what their deal is.
my mom just had a 7cm brain tumor removed and since she's woken up she's been talking nonstop about this dream she had about going to an art gallery full of colourful paintings by a 'homosexual artist' named klimsdorf who was ethereal and wise, both young and old... at first she was convinced he was a real person but after failing to find him online she's accepted he was a figment of her subconscious mind and is now determined to bring him to life via painting his portrait herself. she's 67 and has never drawn in her life. and now this. blorbo from her tumor
I felt like this meme fit Val well. I realized it would probably make a better animatic though, so I had some fun with the ending for this comic.
Cat Vox ate all the bullets.
this is so dumb, but you can read the whole thing here (this is abt my post abt caitlyn hitting vi).
but, of course, because comparing caitlyn’s slap to a family dynamic makes so much sense. i mean, who wouldn’t think that a random act of violence from an enforcer of an oppressive system is just totally the same as a frustrated mom slapping her kid? it’s basically exactly the same thing, right? both have nothing to do with systemic power imbalances, trauma from being literally beaten by enforcers, or, you know, the fact that caitlyn represents the very institution that’s responsible for vi’s pain. but hey, let’s ignore all that, because clearly, your personal experience trumps the actual context of the show.
and the "one act of violence" argument? classic. i mean, sure, if you’re completely ignoring that caitlyn is not just some random person but part of a corrupt, violent system that’s actively destroyed vi’s life for years, then yeah, i guess it’s just a "one-off." totally. but maybe take a minute to consider the actual context of what that slap represents. oh wait, you’re too busy comparing caitlyn to your mom, because, obviously, it’s exactly the same dynamic.
whoa whoa whoa, are you enjoying yourself right now? rookie mistake. you're supposed to be afraid and angry... yeah no all the time. how else will you prove you care about all the problems?
*through tears* ladies and gentlemen, they got him
