ContraPoints blows the Tabby whistle

[vaughnh.]

The Contrapoints cinematic universe grows more complex with every episode.

[stoodmuffinpersonal]

Short version:

Natalie is trying to bottle up her cat-girl, transbian, yes to life, Spongebobian, uber mench, super lefty, tabby self with her Squirwardian envy to contempt sublimation. And a trapped and bottled cat? Will hiss, cry, and scratch.

[stoodmuffinpersonal]

I finally Understand Natalie.

I have cracked her code.

She is a were-catgirl.

It makes so much sense.

She talks about cringe, shame, and Envy. She cringed at Cat girl trans-lesbians, due to shame (due to trans and gay shame), and has had the squidwardian envy of the Tabby's of the world. She, Like Squidward and the guy from Amadeus? Has suppressed her Spongebobian ubermench urges, due to shame and cringe at her more lefty/radical/ gay self. Which has led her to sublemate envy to contempt for the Tabby archetype. And envy of all the trans women envious of her, even if they objectively have less power. Who can hide behind anime avatars and be heckin' UwU transbians without being respectable ladies. Envious of those she may have more privledge than. Something she discusses in both her videos on JK Rowling and Envy. Envious of those envious of her, who treated her like shit, partially because of their own envy, projections, and parasocial relationships.

But. Urges can only be surpressed for so long.

She discusses cringe, and the "bad transgender." Shame, and being a big les. And, she discusses Envy. About the proximity effect. In group tear downs. The self eating snake. All things she's struggled with. All the things she used to push down the Tabby within. But. Surpressing the Spongebobian, with the contempt of the Squidardian? Makes her more envious of Tabbies.
When you bottle a cat? It lashes out.

Triggered by racists and transphobes, like an Anti hero version of Mister Hyde, Tabby breaks out, when the bottle is shook. And, like a wolf man on the full moon? She cannot supress the change anymore. And The seal on her own inner tabby is released.

Only Nyaltalie, as a method to process her envy, cringe, and shame, can allow her to blend the two creative impulses. Being a big, flashy, extra, gay. Where she doesn't have to be respectable, and she can be as cringe as she wants, in small doses. So she isn't trying to end the war with, and bring closure to both her desire for control and order, and to be. Just a gay, cat lady. Whether she can do this, or not? Will decide if she can "take responsibility for her own mind." Allowing her to be the complexed, flawed, but hard working human she is. Understanding she is both, is the only way she can ever get true control. To admit her feelings to herself, to self regulate. Rather than to control the self.

She cannot contain the tabby within cause the very tools she uses to chain her up, make her mpre envious. And allows Tabby more control.

The shame, cringe, and Envy she's working through? You can see it more unfiltered with her interview with Doctor K. Those things she is working through in those videos shines through her talking out those feelings.

Those canceling her see themselves as the squidward. But, she is the Squidward, too.

Seeing her own envy, makes me understand my envy of her. Which. Can Allow me to be my own person, rather than just copying her or being envious of her.

Baltimore will still always be my favorite character.

We all need Tabby whistles for Saturnalia!
