I'm seeing a lot of "ugh, so we can't even criticize fic authors anymore?" posts popping up on here and the ao3 subreddit and I just want to say, for the record: No one's saying you can't criticize (fanfic) authors publicly. They're saying it's rude and antithetical to positive fandom experience. And, yes there's a difference.

If this website was a conference and I had just spent a whole afternoon listening to a presentation on [unpopular fic trope] and after that was done, I got up on stage and very publicly told the audience that [unpopular fic trope] was illogical and anyone who writes it is woefully misinformed and should be banned from writing [relevant character], that would in fact be a dick move.

"But the canon character would never--" it doesn't matter. You're shouting down the hall at the person who just happily did a whole seminar on their OOC version of that character. "But I don't like that the author chose to make them--" good, you're well-acquainted with your likes and dislikes, time to find another fic.

We all run into fics and interpretations we don't like. But there's a huge difference between loudly talking about it on Tumblr where the author can see it, and just venting in a private discord or other group. Also, gentle reminder that this is a hobby for most writers and something they do purely because they enjoy it. Stop being massive dicks just because you feel entitled to a certain flavor of fanfiction you will probably be chasing until the Reformation of Krypton.

help shimaa's family! ❤️

today i want to tell you about my friend shimaa and her family.

shimaa, also spelled shaima in english, is a talented 22 year old graphic designer from gaza. before the war started, she planned to get her master's degree. unfortunately, the war has stolen that dream away, along with her home and the lives of her family members.

now, shimaa is doing her best to provide for her family, including:

her grandmother who has alzheimer's, and whose wheelchair was recently destroyed by an airstrike;

her mother, who was recently wounded by a bullet and needed surgery to take it out;

and her nephew, who suffers from a cardiovascular condition and needs a liver transplant as well.

this is her nephew, jihad, who was orphaned during the war. he was the only survivor when his house was bombed. fortunately, he has survived to this day. with our support, shimaa can pay for the food, daily necessities, and medical expenses that jihad and the rest of her family needs.

want to support shimaa? you can donate to her fundraiser here!

as someone who has been personally in contact with shimaa, i'm willing to vouch for her and the authenticity of this fundraiser.

even as little as $5 can make a big difference. if you can spare $5 from your paycheck, please consider donating today! ❤️

other ways to support shimaa:

reblog and share this post!

follow her on twitter!

donate directly to her bank account! money from the gofundme can take months to arrive, but money wired directly to her is available within just a few days. shimaa urgently needs to buy a wheelchair for her grandmother, among other medical necessities for her family. anything you can spare helps.

leave a message of support in the tags, replies, or by messaging shimaa directly on twitter or whatsapp! i'll be sharing any messages of support i see with her.

for those of you who want to donate, but don't have a lot of energy to figure it out, you can message me for my paypal and i would be happy to forward your donation to shimaa on your behalf!

remember, if you send me proof of your donation, you can receive free art from me!

thank you to everyone who reads this, who shares it, and who donates from the generosity of their hearts. together we can make a difference in shimaa's life.

i love meruem because of feminism

gonna yap about meruem and how his character comments on a nontraditional portrayal of masculinity.

im doing this for me after seeing these election results

because yeah, he's a shounen protagonist (yes! protagonist! but thats a different yap sesh for another day), he's big and strong and the GOAT or whatever. but consider the key values togashi writes him to have specifically in his relationship with komugi

togashi is has written lust before (leorio trick tower, hisoka...all the time...etc.) , so why doesn't he include that here in the ant arc, something already filled to the brim with a sort of psychosexual horror? i think its a fundamental exclusion to learning about women as people.

(also. how fucking lame that would it be if meruem was just horny instead of being down horrendous)

this near godlike creature is born to kill everyone who tells him no, doesnt see anyone as equals, sees human beings as objects/subjects (contradictory). QUICKLY he switches up when he meets komugi, who he values as an EQUAL because she humbles his ass.

okay, yeah. he does try to kill her. but why? because shes a woman? because shes disabled? because she told him no?

its because shes better than him and he knows it!!!!!

AND THEN all thoughts of killing her are squashed when he understands what her being in danger actually looks like and how that makes him feel. He realizes he doesnt want to live in a world where she and other people like her are not protected! When he realizes he owes her an apology he rips off his own fuckin . ARM. for her!!!!

and i am well aware it is bare minimum to say that he understands she is a person with thoughts, a personality, and feelings, but him asking her name, and Pouf was shocked he even bothered to learn it?!!!! because understanding her as someone who is just as complex as he is is the first fuckin step.

anyway

komugi moment

I love how many traditionally/stereotypically “feminine” traits and roles (esp within battle shonen manga) Leorio has within hxh, despite his extremely masculine character design.

He’s a healer, designed his ability for practicality and support as opposed to combat, and serves a “supportive” role within the group.

He’s the weakest amongst his friends in terms of combat, but he’s the caring and empathetic one, the one most in touch with his emotions, the one who cares about everyone’s safety and wellbeing…
