i feel like not enough ppl are factoring in the cultural clash between laios and shuro and the many micro agressions shuro faced while being in their group. literally the name 'shuro' in itself is one

his name is toshiro 😭 lets also not forget that he has his own communication issues, in the opposite way that laios does- thats literally a factor in their argument, that his envy for laios's ability to express himself sincerely manifested as part of his distaste for him.

ig all this to say like, was their fight heart wrenching, especially when reading laios as autistic? absolutely. anybody whos ever been in laios's position knows how much it hurts to realize someone you thought was your friend doesnt actually like having you around, especially when they didnt tell you and you had no way of knowing due to not understanding their cues. but im begging yall to step back and see the nuance of this situation cause im gonna be real a lot of you are kinda just brushing over it acting like everything is toshiros fault and that hes a terrible person when in reality hes an average guy who really, really clashed with laios and it led to a very long misunderstanding due to their supremely opposite methods of communication. even laios and toshiro, after letting everything out in their fight, were able to come to an understanding and start a foundation for an actual friendship built on better communication

ok yknow what Edit: i shouldve made it even more explicit at the end of this post, i hadnt thought i would need to since i started the post with this, but i think a few too many people are missing my point so i just wanna clarify. i shouldnt have said 'really clashed' and left it at that because yeah they did, but it wasnt just their opposite methods of communication, it is also very much that toshiro was experiencing microaggressions via laios. it may have been unintentional on laios's part, but it still happened and wore him down, made it harder for him to communicate on top of both the more subtle social cues that he was raised with and his own communication difficulties. i also want to say that the fandom reaction to toshiro and the complete ignorance of this point is also racist tbh or at the very least ignorant. i understand that the anime did not cover this panel, and neither did the manga, as this was an omake, but im gonna be real with you guys. there are enough context clues within the story to clue you into this. if you didnt pick up on it thats ok, but i think this is a good lesson in picking up subtext in the stories that youre watching and/or reading. kui shouldnt have to explicitly say 'by the way laios was racist to toshiro' for this point to be understood, and at the very least, when the author portrays a character in a sympathetic light (as kui clearly does) it should make you question Why they are doing so and what makes them sympathetic, rather than youre immediate and only reaction to be 'well i hated what this guy did/said so i hate them and they suck'. idk exactly how to finish this, just. idk. question your biases and gut reactions to things you see in media and stories, and think about whether or not theres subtext that youre missing.

I cannot express enough that if your reaction, as a hobby artist, to not getting that many notes on your art is to say "maybe I should just stop doing art altogether" you need to stop posting art to tumblr

not necessarily forever, not even for long, but just stop putting your art on here and start doing it for you again, remember why you enjoyed doing art in the first place and stop relying on the attention of faceless people on the internet for your enjoyment of your hard work

believe me, I get it, nothing crushes the artistic soul quite like labouring for hours on a piece only for it to get like 10 notes, so you need to find your own source of joy in the act of creation and a lot of the time that means making art and not showing it to anybody

So what are Mir Falspar's opinions on leftover's fried rice? Better than dying in a closet? (has he ever even had a homecooked meal before..?)

Crowley did not speak out against the Flood and show kindness to the Son of God and risk Satan's wrath to save Job's children and endure decades in Hell for Elspeth and lead a terrified group of humans to safety through a pack of demons and propose stopping the apocalypse for people to say that Aziraphale is the only one of the two of them who is trying to protect humanity. tbh

Baek Suryong is literally just a mean-ass older brother and I love it. His relationship with Gang Heonwon is literally the funniest shit ever, 'cause he's constantly bullying him but he's also teaching him how to get stronger and also how to navigate the world in his own weird way.

Watching Gang slowly become more and more like personality-wise is hilarious, he's literally a miniature version of Suryong at this point. Their sadistic streak, violent tendencies, always looking for things to tease each other and the other students about. Oh, and they're both kinda hypocrites who've made a lot of terrible mistakes in the past and are trying to make up for it and become better people.

They literally care so much about each other. Gang wants to win the martial arts tournament because he knows it's Suryong's goal (although that's not the only reason) and he wants to repay the debt he feels he owes to Suryong. And Suryong, when he still only had him and Cheon as students, decided that he didn't just want to be the best teacher with the best track record, he also wanted to be a good teacher, different from the cruel but efficient teacher he was in the past.

Suryong also goes out of his way to protect Gang, even when he knows Gang can handle it because he doesn't want Gang to suffer on his own and it's unnecessarily sweet. He's so protective of all his students but then he'll turn around and kick their asses; he's a mean-ass older brother that constantly bullies his younger siblings into shape.

I love them so much XD
