Spy x family is very very good because there's a bit where a far right terrorist group says that they want to start a war and a main character responds by saying to them "have any of you ever killed anyone before? Have you ever been killed before? Have you ever had a limb torn off by an artillery shell? Have you ever heard the sound of bones shattering? Have you ever smelled the reek of rotting flesh? Have you ever found the crushed bodies of your parents and siblings in a pile of rubble that used to be your home? Have you ever discovered a blown-off piece of your lover stuck to a wall? Have you ever been so hungry that you tried to eat tree bark? Or stewed a pot of human flesh? Have you ever convinced yourself that your enemy was subhuman so you could...slaughter them like animals? Have you ever been so haunted by shame and regret afterwards that you cried until you vomited? Have you ever had friends who did the same, and then took their own lives? Did you learn nothing about war at your university?!"

and that's the same volume where they adopt a dog that can see into the future

The SA metaphors in dunmeshi make me sick because when I think about them for so long it's like... man maybe I relate to Marcille more than I thought, she counts as SA rep to me.

Because during the dungeon lord meeting, seeing all those people talk about how they loved the demon after everything it did, and having Marcille being like "man and all I lost was my desire to braid my hair..." Like Honey, Darling, you shouldn't have lost anything at all. I relate to that mindset so heavily, because I was like that at one point. Sorry if this is a bit much I just wanted to give my two cents

OUGH YEAH. Like especially with how the demon grooming her wasn’t even really allegorical it was just straight up doing that, and it was doing that with the eventual goal of eating her alive… (which is shown to be very much an allegory for SA)

I find it interesting that the mouth salivates both when we’re hungry and when we’re nauseous. It doesn’t matter if stuff is coming in or out, our throat is like okay boys time to lube up the tunnel

I'm convinced that by the time of BotW every single aspect of mythology or fairytale in Hyrule can be attributed somehow to some version of Link and Zelda or another. Like if there's a Beauty & the Beast esque story? 100% the result of Twilight Princess. Werewolves? Also because of Twilight Princess. Princess & the Frog? Episode 4 of the 89 cartoon. The Cobbler's Elves? Actually a side plot in Minish Cap that Link aids in. A 'Great Flood' story as is part of practically every mythology or religion in the real world? Literally just Wind Waker. The greatest and saddest love story in Hyrule in the vein of like Romeo & Juliet or the Titanic? Ocarina of Time provides several options there. The creation myth of their kingdom and the source of the royal family's Divine Right to Rule? That's actually just Hylia & First Hero and Skyward Sword Zelink's lives. The castle being haunted? Spirit Tracks Zelda was bored, and then other princesses have used that legend to get away with their own mischief. Like the entire series is called LEGEND of Zelda, so every single speck of legend in their land deserves to be their fault in one lifetime or another.

i started playing skyward sword and i am in love with their love

Link can’t understand Fi anymore, but he can understand Hylia. Zelda can’t hear the voices of the goddesses, but she can hear the voice of the sword. These ancient divine figures -so inextricably linked to the heroes of old that it’s almost impossible to tell where one ends and the other begins- may not be able to commune with the spirits that bind them to the mortal world anymore, but they continue to guide and comfort the people who mattered most all those lifetimes ago

I gifted Skyward Sword HD to some friends and this is the results so far <3

Imo, christians would have an easier time with the trinity if they described it as like, “my god has three faces” or “jesus is the feet on the earth, the spirit the hands, and god the head” instead of restating polytheism verbatim

We should have a gathering in a place called Nicaea and have this discussion with the various Church leaders, cause I think you're on to something

my fave greek history story to tell is that of agnodice. like she noticed that women were dying a lot during childbirth so she went to egypt to study medicine in alexandria and was really fucking good but b/c it was illegal for women to be doctors in athens she had to pretend to be a man. and then the other doctors noticed that she was 10x better than them and accused her of seducing and sleeping with the women patients. like they brought her to court for this. and she just looked at them and these charges and stripped in front of everyone like “yeah. im not fucking your wives” and then they got so mad that a woman was better at their jobs then them that they tried to execute her but all her patients came to court and were like “are you fucking serious? she is the reason you have living children and a wife.” so they were shamed into changing the law and that is how women were given the right to practice medicine in athens

I think one thing that a lot of Addams Family fans forget is that for the family, goth wasn’t about being gloomy and sad or bitter and cynical at all. Morticia was always gazing out at rainy days and declaring, “how beautiful a day it is!” or saying that “black is so much more cheerful!” because they found joy in their dark aesthetic. Wednesday was curious and sharp-minded and very clearly exercised and expressed her personal sense of power and self through things like her interest in weaponry and true crime - in the original series and comics, she was always dancing and playing with her brother. Edgy Wednesday didn’t happen until the 90s reboot, and well, it was the 90s. Gloomy grunge and artful sadness were in at the time. And let’s not even talk about Gomez, who was so full of life and love for his family that he’d often break into song or dip Morticia in the kitchen for an old-fashioned kiss. The Addams worked so well because they were healthy, happy, loving and goth. They were a perfect example of indulging in an aesthetic without letting it become toxic or consuming their lives.

Guys, I’m a huge, huge, HUGE fan of Dungeon Meshi. So much so that I wrote this article, which took a LOT of work and research. Everything in it has links and screenshots to back it up. It was a massive effort to gather all the information. I hope you enjoy it!
