I Think Being "not Like Other Girls" Is Something Very In Line With TERFs, Such As JK Rowling's Worst

clap it up that's my main yall whooooo

happy birth green girl

Coda's right; Josie isn't a boy mom.

Josie simply does younger sibling syndrome and tends to baby Jacob. I won't be surprised if you factor in her trauma too, and see her as sort of "giving a better life" to her late husband, who Jacob is named after.

In fact: Jacob's kind of messed up AS WELL as Jaden.

Even if Jacob wasn't parentified and made to basically raise himself (Jaden did that for him), Jacob was born right after his father died and even named after him. He's then said to look like his dad.

That's...kinda scary. I'd be scared if I were me. It's like some ghost I don't even know is following me, and everyone can see it, but they won't save me from it if it tries to engulf me.

Honestly, considering Leasebound is supposedly meant to be about strong and "well-written" female characters, and does so with the motherly characters within the story, I feel like a missed opportunity would be touching upon THOSE kinds of "boy moms".

I'm not talking about favoritism, like Josie with Jaden and Jacob, I mean...

Those moms on tiktok who post videos talking about how their sons are their entire world, and if their sons weren't their sons they'd be DATING them, meanwhile they avoid talking about their daughters like the plague, act like having a daughter is some sort of curse or punishment, the ones who view their daughters as "competition" because they envy their daughters youth or see their daughters as trying to "steal" the attention from their husbands, and make it obvious that they'd happily throw their daughters under a bus for their son. THOSE kinds of boy moms.

But knowing Rusty and how she handles a lot of heavy topics in her work, she'd probably write something like this in all the wrong ways. Especially considering this would force her to have to actually write a female character who's actually flawed if not downright a horrible person, and the closest she can seem to get to writing an "evil" female character is a woman with dyed hair and pronouns and a homophobic Christian mom.

Talked very briefly about this in the Leasecord server, but the portrayal of Faith has always pegged me as sort of odd considering like...

・She is so sheltered from the idea of men that she doesn't even understand why a man/boy would be in a household

・She hasn't been written, at least not as of yet, to have any friends her own age, not from school or anywhere else, in fact the only interaction she's had at all with another kid is the kid she beat up. All of her friends are the grown adult members of Yonqiue, basically being raised by them

・She's somewhat pushy and clingy and it kind of seems like she doesn't understand boundaries in relations to other girls, especially Jaden, who she has a crush on. While it's completely normal for a young child to have a crush on an adult, it is a tad bit weird how much the other adults around her sort of encourage how clingy she is towards Jaden.

・It's honestly doubtful that she'd likely EVER make friends in a real world scenario, because the way she's being raised is just setting her up for other kids to think she's a bully. She's being raised by incredibly judgemental TERF women who have raised her on the idea that men and being effeminate are completely terrible and a failure of a woman, so she'd basically be the equivalent of a "I'm not like other girls" girl, only at a much earlier age, and much meaner. It's fine for her to be a tomboy/masculine, it's not fine that this'll probably be used as a catalyst for her to bully and harass other girls because that's what she thinks is justice. And even if she were to find some TERF friends who are like her, what are the chances that they'd even tolerate her considering they might just also hate her for being lesbian or black, or even just hate her for being a tomboy since, surprise surprise, being a TERF usually comes packaged with being bigoted and hateful towards... Literally anything else. In fact, Rusty and this comic are the one and only time I've seen TERFs actually advocate for women being more masculine or tomboyish considering every other TERF media I've seen will literally scream that a woman is a man in disguise if she's not walking around built like Jessica Rabbit.

Soooo... TL:DR

Yonique kind of runs like a cult, and I feel incredibly bad for Faith. Let's just hope she never gets unsupervised internet access like most of us did and finds websites like Amino, because I'm sure her grown adult TERF friends and Rusty would never even consider the idea that women can also be child predators.

Getting some real Caleb and Sophia vibes. Can't wait for the TERFs to rip me a new ass for this one.

please don't spread misinformation like rusty dying.

i genuinely hate how people have to sit and write a post that stands out while boosting a fundraiser because most people won't bat an eye at the misery and inhumane conditions Palestinians are living in.

i see people making art and telling others to use it because fundraisers with art are generally reblogged more often. i see people using colored text in order to make the post more eye catching.

palestinians on instagram are using popular audios and stitch trending reels at the beginning to make the world pay attention to them. imagine having to make something look entertaining in order to survive.

they are living under constant threat of israeli airstrikes, bombing, scarcity of food and disease. many have lost a lot in the past few months.

palestinians on tumblr are posting their pictures and the horrible conditions in which they are living. they travel long distances for internet connection only to be called a scammer by some privileged ass who cannot locate gaza on a map.

here are some verified gfms. please share the linked posts. it's the bare minimum we can do from the comforts of our home.

IF YOU IGNORE THIS, YOU ARE KILLING MY CHILDREN‼️

The situation is very dangerous. My children’s lives are in danger. Their skin is melting and peeling from diseases. There are no medical points or doctors to treat them. There is no food available for them. Israel is killing us. Please do not help it with that, but rather help me. I have nothing left but my children. After I lost my family, my home, and everything I have, I have no hope left but you. Imagine that you In my place. Please, with a heavy heart, I ask for your support
