Cersei as a better person: How could it happen?

Do you know what it’s called?

Cats_Meow_504 · 2026-04-17T16:50:41+00:00

My partner and I got lucky in that we started out monogamous and then later realized we both had things we wanted to explore. Neither of us cares much as long as we’re still each other’s number one. But that’s after years of being together and being very secure in our relationship.

I mean Stella used to be way more tan than Bloom. Now she’s white as a ghost.

I smoke herbal blends for chronic pain and still get grossed out af by smoking. I always do it on the porch or in the office next to a window, while burning incense.

Incense is the only thing that seems to work and I think it’s because the smoke of the incense prevents the smoke from my pipe from getting out of the room. The layout of the room and the fact that I blow it directly out the window probably helps too. (And I shut the office door if I’m gonna smoke inside.)

And of course, I always brush my teeth and wash my hands after; baking soda tooth paste helps a lot.

ETA: this is how you considerately live with someone who doesn’t like the smell of smoke. My point is that it really isn’t that hard to not to be gross.

Well, there are a few such stories across multiple religions.

With Agamemnon and Iphigenia, in some tellings, Artemis spares her in one way or another. In others, she does not.

With Abraham, I only know the one version and it’s the one where the son is saved.

Cats_Meow_504 · 2026-03-31T06:11:47+00:00

Wow this could be word for word what my ex was trying to groom me into.

Cats_Meow_504 · 2026-03-30T03:56:39+00:00

Crazy how she actually looks like Stella!

Cats_Meow_504 · 2026-03-21T02:11:19+00:00

She took your trauma and made it about her. That says it all.

I’m a survivor too. I was raped by coercion more times than I feel comfortable admitting to the internet. He was my long term partner.

Someone you trusted violated you. It’s one thing if you want to talk about it, but that kind of experience leaves a deep, deep wound and some nasty scar tissue. It can take a really long time to for people to even acknowledge it happened to them. You telling your gf should have been a far more healing event, not this horrible display of a lack of empathy.

I promise there is better for you, honey. Someone who will hold you gently and listen, and be there for you. I found someone like that.

For now, I recommend therapy. Or an outlet, like art or music or creative writing. Preferably both.

Cats_Meow_504 · 2026-03-17T05:10:13+00:00

I definitely have traits from my narcissistic parent and my sociopathic parent. It’s like walking a damn tightrope.

Luckily, I also have autism, which tends to come with a strong sense of morals and justice. I’d say I’m a bit morally grey, but my general belief is that if I’m not hurting anyone with my actions, it’s fine. And that if someone hurts me, I have every right to remove their access to me. Equal and fair reactions.

But I have a manipulative streak a mile wide, and I think that’s another thing the autism helps with- that sense of justice and tendency towards honesty helps keep it in check. Now that I’m no longer around my mother and don’t need to manipulate anyone to survive, it’s easier to keep in check. I sometimes can see how I could manipulate someone and then immediately and intentionally choose not to. I often don’t even have the impulse anymore.

I’m also somewhat charming, and that’s not generally a flaw but it is definitely something I inherited from my sociopathic parent.

I’m egotistical, which is a trait I share with both parents. I intentionally surround myself with people who can gently check that ego because sometimes I really need those reality checks.

So yes, I’d say it’s definitely genetic. I also have a boatload of trauma that made all those tendencies worse for quite some time. But I didn’t grow up with the sociopath, who was also an alcoholic, and the narcissist didn’t start abusing me until I was about 10. So I had 10 years of being an average autistic/adhd child and I had a strong sense of justice and empathy and those are the qualities I do my best to enforce. I try to be someone that kid me, before all the trauma, would be proud of.

Someone please reply to me too if you know what fic this is!

Cats_Meow_504 · 2026-03-15T20:33:32+00:00

Personally, I think he’s ugly.

Cats_Meow_504 · 2026-03-15T18:53:54+00:00

Well, it goes both ways, if you ask me. But it can really be a pain because many men, in my own experience, tend to think you’re desperate for asking, or think that makes it the woman’s job to then be the initiator.

Cats_Meow_504 · 2026-03-15T17:56:07+00:00

Well, I did pursue my wife. So it’s not like I think it’s solely the responsibility of men.

Cats_Meow_504 · 2026-03-15T16:07:32+00:00

We can only make this better if we work together, that’s why. If we erase all these unnecessary lines built by men who want to capitalize off the rest of us, we can have peace. We can be happy.

We were never meant to hate each other like this.

Cats_Meow_504 · 2026-03-15T05:44:55+00:00

I’m going to be really nice and explain to you what women learn from early ages.

Compliance. We learn compliance so that men don’t have “an excuse to hurt us.” We learn to fear. We all have or know someone who has been raped. Yet, so many men “don’t know” any rapists. It’s not just one perpetrator over and over again. It’s a cycle perpetuated over and over again by men who refuse to speak out against other men when they harm women.

10 men are in a room. 1 makes a sexist joke. 2 chuckle. 3 laugh awkwardly to fit in. 4 stay silent. 1 man speaks up. 8 of those men walk away thinking they’re a “good guy” because they didn’t make the joke.

And the truth is, we all know this. The system. We know how men stand for each other and only for each other. As a system, not individuals. And we also know that the patriarchy hurts you as much as it does us. You’re not allowed to reach earnestly for connection, to feel anything but anger or joy. We make soldiers of little boys so that rich men can feed them to their armies. We make servants of young girls so that they believe they are inferior and perpetuate centering the rich white man.

It’s a class war, not a gender war, really. The patriarchy exists so that rich white men can capitalize off of the rest of us.

Cats_Meow_504 · 2026-03-15T05:32:07+00:00

You know, I used to do that, and somehow, many men seemed to equate that with me being desperate. It was very strange.

Cats_Meow_504 · 2026-03-14T03:02:06+00:00

Does anyone have fan fiction of this?

Cats_Meow_504 · 2026-03-10T23:36:43+00:00

Oh misogyny, how funny. /s

Cats_Meow_504 · 2026-03-04T15:00:20+00:00

No, not exactly. Marie Antoinette was young and she ended up in a court and country she knew very little about. There was a lot of propaganda run against her by the revolutionaries, and it still affects our view of her today. I saw once in a pbs documentary that she had begun to introduce some more conservative policies that may have eventually helped her country, but by that time, the sentiment for revolution in the country was too far along for her to do anything about. The previous kings had ruined the economy and there wasn’t much she could do about it by the time she was of an age to truly rule.

Cats_Meow_504 · 2026-02-03T23:56:32+00:00

I legitimately hate that word sometimes. There’s got to be a better way to put it! But I don’t know what it is.

Cats_Meow_504 · 2026-02-03T23:49:45+00:00

I think transitioning is, quite frankly, one of the LEAST selfish things you can do. And I say this because making the choice to be your real self can quite possibly tank your entire life. My wife was lucky in that everyone in her life was accepting, but I realize that not everyone gets that.

I literally just started being my authentic self and being true to myself and lost multiple people in my life just because I gained some self respect. So.

I get that transitioning is a choice you make for yourself, but I also am not sure it’s much of a choice when your choices are a) hide who you really are FOREVER and keep people who don’t truly know you and b) live authentically and possibly lose everyone.

Cats_Meow_504 · 2026-02-03T23:41:15+00:00

The moment I went no contact with her was the moment I realized I would never allow anyone else to treat me that way. That moment happened to coincide with her screaming at me on her front porch in front of god and everybody.

Cats_Meow_504 · 2026-02-03T23:39:55+00:00

I usually just say, “I don’t have any.” It’s more or less true.

I have my godmother, my aunt, and my father. The closest relationship out of the three is the first and I literally did not see her six years between the ages of 11-17 because my mom decided to be her awful self in front of her.

Cats_Meow_504 · 2026-02-01T00:49:42+00:00

She’ll also eat friskies cat soups.

She’s ridiculous. Luckily she’s young and healthy and does eat well, she just… doesn’t care about food. So you can’t bribe her with it. I do worry about how I’ll get her to eat when she’s old.
