I wasnt kidding btw
THIS POST INCLUDES TRANSFEM BUTCHES AND WAS MADE BY A TRANSMASC BUTCH LESBIAN. TERF LOSERS FUCK OFF
I did not know that I was so empty, to be so full.
The headline is pretty awful but this is one of those things that gets worse as you read it:
The 14-page petition, filed in Shelby County, Tennessee, probate court, alleges that Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy, who took Oher into their home as a high school student, never adopted him. Instead, less than three months after Oher turned 18 in 2004, the petition says, the couple tricked him into signing a document making them his conservators, which gave them legal authority to make business deals in his name.
"Michael Oher discovered this lie to his chagrin and embarrassment in February of 2023, when he learned that the Conservatorship to which he consented on the basis that doing so would make him a member of the Tuohy family, in fact provided him no familial relationship with the Tuohys."
Oher was a rising high school senior when he signed the conservatorship papers, and he has written that the Tuohys told him that there was essentially no difference between adoption and conservatorship. "They explained to me that it means pretty much the exact same thing as 'adoptive parents,' but that the laws were just written in a way that took my age into account," Oher wrote in his 2011 best-selling memoir "I Beat the Odds."
But there are some important legal distinctions. If Oher had been adopted by the Tuohys, he would have been a legal member of their family, and he would have retained power to handle his own financial affairs. Under the conservatorship, Oher surrendered that authority to the Tuohys, even though he was a legal adult with no known physical or psychological disabilities.
While the [movie] deal allowed the Tuohys to profit from the film, the petition alleges, a separate 2007 contract purportedly signed by Oher appears to "give away" to 20th Century Fox Studios the life rights to his story "without any payment whatsoever." The filing says Oher has no recollection of signing that contract, and even if he did, no one explained its implications to him.
The [movie] deal lists all four Tuohy family members as having the same representative at Creative Artists Agency, the petition says. But Oher's agent, who would receive movie contract and payment notices, is listed as Debra Branan, a close family friend of the Tuohys and the same lawyer who filed the 2004 conservatorship petition, the petition alleges. Branan did not return a call to her law office on Monday.
"Mike's relationship with the Tuohy family started to decline when he discovered that he was portrayed in the movie as unintelligent," Stranch said. "Their relationship continued to deteriorate as he learned that he was the only member of the family not receiving royalty checks from the movie, and it was permanently fractured when he realized he wasn't adopted and a part of the family."
For years, Oher has chafed at how "The Blind Side" depicted him, saying it hurt his football career and clouded how people view him. He has said that based on the film, some NFL decision-makers assumed he was mentally slow or lacked leadership skills.
"People look at me, and they take things away from me because of a movie," Oher told ESPN in 2015. "They don't really see the skills and the kind of player I am."
"Beyond the details of the deal, the politics, and the money behind the book and movie, it was the principle of the choices some people made that cut me the deepest."
I'm really glad this has made it out to the non-sports world. (There were rumors in the college football world that this shit was majorly suspect, but no one could get the whole story.) The Tuohys deserve to be dragged in public for all to see.
And I'm heartbroken for Michael Oher, learning that the people he thought were his family did him so dirty, but I'm glad he's got a chance at some sort of recompense.

How we feeling about that trailer drop demigods?
i see a post talking doom and gloom about how we'll never escape toxic masculinity. i think about back in 2017 when american girl released their first boy doll, and a review for him went viral in the collecting community. the review was written by a mom, who said they went into the store to get their daughter a doll, only to see their son's eyes light up like fire when he saw a doll that looked like him, and now every night he puts his doll in pajamas and rocks him to sleep. i think about the toddler in my daycare room a few years back who was obsessed with baby dolls, carrying them everywhere, and his mom proudly told us he uses his sisters' old baby dolls and wants to be just like them. that toddler saw another toddler crying one day and gave her the doll he had to cheer her up. i think about the eight-year-old boy i saw a few years back, excitedly waving around raya's sword in a target checkout line like all his dreams were coming true. there was a video on my instagram the other day of a little boy at disneyworld crying with joy upon meeting his hero, mulan. i think about the voice actor for bow in the she-ra reboot saying his nephews only wanted adora action figures. celebrity men are wearing dresses on tv now. last halloween i saw a little boy dressed as elsa. i went to go see spiderverse over the summer, and in the line ahead of me was a boy who couldn't be older than twelve or thirteen, bouncing and beaming, giddy with excitement over getting to see the female-led romance movie elemental. i think about the five-year-old boy at my library who breathlessly asked me where the pinkalicious books were, eyes widening when i had more on my cart, his mom explaining that he is all about pinkalicious and fancy nancy. i saw so many pictures online of boys and men dressed in pink to see barbie. teenage boys are gonna open their phones and see the man who wrote fucking game of thrones dressed in pink to see barbie. when i was a kid, a boy dressing in pink was practically a social death sentence. there are boys running around in pink on my street right now.

Percy Jackson, we've been expecting you.
First look at Percy Jackson releasing December 20 on Disney+
The wheelbarrow scene was a great example of Gwen just going along with whatever mischief Merlin cooked up without a question, but I think the funniest thing ever will always be Excalibur
That was her dad's sword, that she just stole and gave to Merlin because he popped up in her house one day and told her he needed the best sword she had for Arthur. Then Uther fights the wraith and the sword disappears, and she never even asks after it. Then the sword comes back again, and she oughts to recognise it because Excalibur is one hell of a sword, but now it's got runes on it?!, and Arthur's pulled it out of a rock?!, and everybody's saying it's been there for hundreds of years, but she knows she's given it to Merlin way more recently than that. It's just that coincidentally enough, Merlin is the one who knew the legend about the sword in the stone and he brought it up just when Arthur needed a kick in the butt, uh. How funny. What a coincidence. Who's going to bring it up? Not Gwen, no Sire. If Merlin thought a huge ass lie was what Arthur needed then she's going to swear up and down that, of course, everybody knew the story of the sword in the stone, it's such a classic
I would also like to highlight Geoffrey of Monmouth in 1x09 - Excalibur.
He watched the Black Knight ride through a window into the hall, saw the emblem, talked with Gaius about the Black Knight being the deceased Tristan de Bois, saw/heard him beating one knight after another, have Gaius adoptive son and Manservant to Arthur, next challenger of the Black Knight, in his library asking for a weapon that could kill the Dead, tell him about weapons forged in a dragon’s breath, knowing that the last dragon is imprisoned beneath the castle. The next day have the king fight the black knight in his son’s stead, revealing the Black Knight’s zombie face and when the king does get a good strike at the Black Knight have him explode into pieces, which would be unlikely if it was a normal human being and a normal weapon.
And he either didn’t make the connection that Merlin got Arthur an illegal magical weapon in conspiracy with Kilgharrah or he just decided to not tell anyone for the following ten years.
Insane.
