Find yourself a literature teacher that makes you love literature so much that you want to apply the things you learned to a Character you love

[gnaga37]

i will write my angel story into a book and then make a TV show, while keeping the relationship between the protagonists ambiguous enough to get the money from straight people and from gay people. and when the masses will ask me if my angel protagonist is gay or not, I'll alternate between answering "she has a boyfriend, he is right there" and "the way I've written her can be interpretated as gay, that was the plan all along"

MASTER POST

The Experimental Monster Laboratory, or Monster Labs, is a TADC AU where the cast is in the physical world! Sorta..

C&A Research Facilities is one of the cornerstones of the science and medical worlds! They do everything; funding research, manufacturing equipment, and research into the known and unknown in an effort to understand everything. To the public, that is.

They experiment heavily in everything, from hiring literal Gods on earth to manage the more ..sensitive divisions; mixing machine and magic, technology and the supernatural, genetic experimentation, you name it, they’ve probably done it! The world outside may not know anything of the advancements they’re researching but there is little C&A Labs won’t allow in the name of progress in understanding and cataloging everything in their universe. Our story takes place in one of the more private residencies deep in C&A, belonging to Caine; a minor God with mysterious origins, unknown limitations, and boundless enthusiasm for learning everything he can about his little science friends.

how do u feel about ribbun being canon this episode?

"Ribbun" in this case being a paraphrase of "the dynamic between Jax and Gangle" is what's being "canon," sure that's it. That being said, there was a good dynamic to what I hoped for, for sure and that I'm excited to see more of.

I hope Pomni and Jax are foils and so when it comes to Gangle; Pomni cares for Gangle's opinion about things, and asks her if she's okay with things, what choices she would make in certain scenarios. Gives Gangle the time to speak because...

Jax does not do that, in fact when Jax decides he doesn't want to drive, he puts Gangle in the seat because he knows he can still control her to do what he wants while behind the wheel. Interesting dynamic I think! Classic putting someone "in charge" because you know you are the one technically in charge of them.

He seems to communicate with Gangle the most casually, but I imagine this is because she's the easiest for him to manipulate. Who knows if it's any deeper than that. More "comfortable" with her because he knows he has control and power of her. Ugh so awful I love it, can't wait to see if they'll be rotten "friends." Jax and Gangle always a duo only because she's someone he can have under his thumb the whole way.

I hope Pomni treats Gangle the exact opposite way as Jax does; caring for what she has to say and what she has on her mind. And that in-turn helps Gangle finally push back against Jax.

In relation, this shot is framed so well and makes me feel so heartbroken, because while I hope Pomni helps motivate Gangle, it seems like Ragatha has given up on that or feels she can't help in anyway.

Ragatha just sits and watches this happen and doesn't like it but doesn't do anything to help either.

This particular thing probably isn't relevant but I just think it's a nice use of character expression for something a lot of viewers probably would barely notice with Raga being so small and out of focal shot.

Anyways I wasn't originally planning to type that much in this response but I guess I have more brain-thoughts than I thought.

Crack Meta (aka Bandish Bandits Brainrot)

I find myself giggling over a gay ship in a straight show, again. Radhe/Mahi, you will never know the hold you have got me in.

The post is titled crack because this ship is never going to happen canonically, meta because the thoughts that go into it do make sense. Let me get on my agenda, okay?

Remember when Arghya gave Radhe (and us) his two cents about the people Radhe liked (consciously or subconsciously)? It makes me grin how well Mahi fits into that. Let’s break that down, shall we?

According to Arghya, Radhe’s type is:

• Musician

The leader and founder of Rage N Raga, plays Sitar like a pro, and has pretty good vocals. Hate him if you want but Mahi knows his stuff.

• Irresponsible

Changed lyrics of a revered Bandish to please rich people, berates the Gharana system like there’s some personal grudge (I’m 99% sure there is). Let go of a great vocalist when an important show was right around the corner.

• Probably Mother Issues

Since Ananya’s was more of a familial issue than mother issue, I’ll take that liberty for Mahi as well. Problem is, we know nothing about Mahi’s family (heck we don’t even know about Mahi! He’s a side character that appears for like 3 episodes!). Dipping fingers into the fandom power, we’re going to assume that he’s estranged from his family.

What I’m saying is that Mahi canonically fits in the ⅔ category of Radhe’s type. And I’ll take that and run to the fanfiction land.

tagging @fortuna-majoris because even though I know you have not watched the show, I think you will appreciate me yapping about the gays

I JUST REALIZED KRISHNA BECOMES VASANT SOMETIMES AND HE'S KNOWN AS RAGA VASANT. (Or like Vasant fuses with the image of Krishna)

THIS IS PROBABLY KRISHNA AS VASANT. HE DOES THIS SOMETIMES IN THE RAGMALA PAINTINGS AAAAAA

THE KRISHNA X VASANT SOLIDARITY IS CANON.

Cyno in Persona 5.

Because I did Yusuke in Genshin.

Persona 5/Royal spoilers below.

TW: Canonical staged suicide/attempted murder.

Cyno, the Justice (upright, as opposed to Akechi's flipped in my headcannon). An Elec, Phys, Ailment user.

Unusual awakening compared to modern Persona Users, more like Persona 1 and 2. He naturally has an overwhelming amount of Magnetite- the Demon Summoning energy used in early MegaTen Games- due to Hermanubis inhabiting his body.

His codename is The General, because Mahamatra doesn't make sense in Persona World.

His Persona manifests as Hermanubis, an Electric Wolf towering above him. His weapon of choice is the spear, and the long ranged gun-like weapon is him throwing his spear at opponents and ripping it back out. Double hit damage.

He joins before Shido's palace, having been searching for the Phantom Thieves to make sure their actions are righteous rather than selfish, and the arrest and subsequent death of their leader only emboldened him, his sixth sense for this type of stuff only helping him for once.

He's an Elec/Phys user like Ryuji, but he attacks 2-5 times with his regular attack and Hermanubis's special skill has a 50/50 chance for attacks to strike twice (GAMBLING GAMBLING).

His regular attacks have a 20% chance to be infused with Elec damage if he's attacked previously by phys or non-elec damage.

He has Ailment skills like Krishna's Venomous and Poisonous Raga, where he buffs allies or debuffs opponents and causes them ailments, called Bad Jokes and Piercing Glare.

Bad Jokes is his Buff skill, which raises Atk, def, spd, or crit for his team and Freezes enemies. Gained from 1st Awakening.

Piercing Glare is his Royal exclusive skill, which lowers Atk, def, spd, or crit and poisons foes.

"I'm Cyno, of Kosei Academies third year. I'm planning on going into law after graduation."

Rank 1: Glare, a 50% to make shadows more amenable to negotiations, and when Cyno joins the team allows him to do negotiations himself.

Rank 3: Blood Hound, doubles the drop rate of rare items when Cyno deals the finishing blow. (Only usable during and after Shido's palace. Absolutely bonkers in Mementos with the Item buffs)

Rank 5: Priesthood, Hermanubis, as an actual priest, can bless items so they either do more damage against chaotic/evil entities, do bonus bless damage, or just do bless damage with weapons.

Rank 8: Keen Eye, raises parties crit chance when Cyno is on the field.

Rank 10: Awakening. Nothing changes about Hermanubis, he just gets a new skill and is slightly taller.

Rank 11: second Awakening. New skill.

Going away gift: The first Genshin TCG card he got as a child.

"Maybe next time we meet, you won't be such a joke-ster. Get it? See, the joke is-"

Porca miseria metteranno Simuel Canon nel fantasanremo raga

[sulphuryasecretcloset]

i have a very fun vision in my head for an animation of Zev'sonya singing I Won't Say (I'm In Love) from Hercules (Corin, Raga, Mose and Force Ghost Anakin are the muse chorus lol)

I swear that song is 200% accurate for Zev 's attitude xD The lyrics and the attitude, plus the tiny rays of softness shining through the cracks of her walls? So very, very, VERY perfect!

Corin, Raga, Mose doing the chorus, for sure, absolutely and definitely and with snarky gusto, but adding Force Ghost Anakin (who would probably gleefully come up with the idea)? That really took me out at the knees xD xD This is definitely one of my fave head canons now.

[intuizioni]

comunque raga su tiktok giravano tre voci prima degli episodi di oggi

manuel se ne va per un breve periodo di tempo (come in merlì se ne andava bruno) e a quanto pare questa cosa sta diventando canon

nella terza stagione non c'è più nina

nella terza stagione non c'è più mimmo (😐)

POTREBBERO BENISSIMO NON ESSERE VERE OKAY PERÒ... TERRORE

[kingofdinosaurs]

raga... :3

ragna the FREAKING bloodedge!!!

favorite thing about them: hard to pick a favourite thing so random grab bag: i really like that i like think of him and i immediately know EXACTLY how he sounds. like that's weirdly tough for me because I'm into a lot of stuff with multiple voice actors for characters but i think of ragna and I'm like damn i know exactly how that guy sounds and he is being a real asshole in my brain right now

least favorite thing about them: not huge on the slurs. the slurs weren't great to experience with no warning. the thing is i can't say wholeheartedly that ragna the bloodedge wouldn't say a slur. probably.

favorite line: basically anything where he gets really pissed off or really scared. or the one where he's like I think I'm gonna cry ;_;

brOTP: him and noel ^_^

OTP: i will be real there is not a single solitary ragna ship, canon, crossover, ANYTHING that i actually like. at this point you can fucking have him, please take him off our hands before he gets stabbed again or something

nOTP: basically like everything. he has negative romantic chemistry with literally everyone in his series, it's amazing

random headcanon: after centralfiction he went to guilty gear and became jam's delivery driver, as we all know

unpopular opinion: death battle was wrong i think ragna and sol would be way more evenly matched. however this discounts that they wouldn't even be fighting in the first place like they would be chilling. ignoring each other. ky would be burning jin a new asshole with lightning blasts but that isn't either of their fucking PROBLEMS

song i associate with them: literally cannot say anything but REBELLION 1 LISTEN TO REBELLION ONE (1) (ONE) NOT TWO TWO DOESN'T HAVE THE PIZZAZZ. THE MAGIC. I NEED TO SINK MY TEETH INTO REBELLION ONE

favourite picture of them: your classmate ragna the bloodedge give me your credit card details etc. you know. i just think him having the dead spike tshirt is super cute he'd make like a really fun persona party member wrt customised uniforms

[alsosprachvelociraptor]

Libri che ho letto quest'anno, 2024

Completati:

"La lunga strada di sabbia" di Pier Paolo Pasolini: bel libro, scritto con una mano sola mentre con l'altra il caro Pierpi si stava... etc 7/10 carino, un po' disperatamente horny ma carino

"L'altro Pasolini: Guido, Pier Paolo, Porzus e i turchi" di Andrea Zannini: ed è così che io e Guidalberto ci siamo conosciuti, innamorati, fidanzati, sposati e ora viviamo in una bellissima e stabilissima relazione queerplatonic fuori dallo spaziotempo (perchè lui è morto 52 anni prima che io nascessi) (il nostro amore va oltre queste sciocchezzuole) (non capireste) 10/10 perchè ho trovato l'amore vero leggendolo (non capireste)

"Ragazzi di vita" di Pier Paolo Pasolini: AWOOO IPERFISSAZIONE AHHHH ARRGGG AAAAAAAAAAA ci ho scritto 105k parole di fanfiction su sto libro, e 48 fanarts. sto impazzendo. aiutatemi non ho più una vita al di fuori di questo libro 10/10, sto andando giù di testa, aiutatemi per favore

"I due Pasolini: Ragazzi di vita prima della censura" di Silvia De Laude: letto nella disperazione di trovare più roba su RdV, e che dire raga, Lenzettacest e Begalone/Alduccio come coppie canon? Incredibile. Pazzesco 9/10 non dieci perchè quello si raggiunge solo se ci vado giù di testa

"Come leggere i Ragazzi di vita di Pier Paolo Pasolini" di Francesco Muzzioli: ancora letto nella foga di sapere TUTTO su RdV, e su alcune cose mi ha decisamente illuminato, ma su altre non concordo assolutamente. E poi non ha mai menzionato l'omosessualità di Alduccio che a me sembra una delle cose più palesi del libro. Vabbè. 7/10 m'ha aiutato nell'iperfissazione

"Alì dagli occhi azzurri" di Pier Paolo Pasolini: ancora letto nella disperazione di trovare più content di Ragazzi di vita. E ho anche trovato cose del genere (la backstory di Amerigo etc) ma più che altro ho trovato delle chiavi di lettura in bozze che poi sarebbero diventate RdV: una descrizione di due ragazzetti che trascinano delle poltrone per strada (che poi diventerà l'inizio del capitolo 3 di RdV), i due ragazzi che camminano vicini uno zoppo e uno tubercoloso (capitolo 7 con Alduccio e il Begalone, rispettivamente), la scena di un ragazzo di nome Claudio appena uscito di prigione che vuole trovare lavoro e comprarsi una bella camicetta e degli scarpini bianchi (e nel capitolo 8 di RdV il Riccetto, il cui vero nome è Claudio appunto, è uscito da qualche mese di prigione e con lo stipendio del suo lavoro si è appena comprato una camicetta e le scarpe bianche nuove). Poi la roba delle sigarette come simbolo fallico. Devo rileggere Ragazzi di vita, dannazione E POI IMPORTANTE ci sono le sceneggiature di Accattone e Mamma Roma. Sto provando a scrivere una storia in stile sceneggiatura, wish me luck 8/10 perchè mi ha rovinato un po' la vita

Libri che non ho finito, pian piano ci arrivo. Oppure li ho mollati e basta:

"Hostia: trilogia della morte di Pier Paolo Pasolini" di Giuseppe Zigaina: (interrotto) mehhh??? non so quanto ci credo in sta roba, ma fa ridere sapere quanto autistico e pazzinculo Pier Paolo fosse che manco i suoi amici lo capivano bene. E poi la gigantesca foto di Guido dentro al libro <3 le varie citazioni a Guido nel testo <3 Guidalberto <3 <3 <3 4/10, non ci siamo, ma ci sono cosine interessanti

"Una vita violenta" di Pier Paolo Pasolini: (interrotto) NON M'È PIACIUTO!!!!! ARRGHHH speravo in qualcosa di simile a Ragazzi di vita ma NON È COSì!! Non mi piace per niente, non so che dirvi. Pier Paolo non era bravo a descrivere il mondo interno di un personaggio singolo, per questo RdV slappa così duro. 1/10, ma proprio no

"C'era una volta in Italia: gli anni settanta" di Enrico Deaglio: non l'ho finito perchè l'ho comprato l'altro giorno e ha 700+ pagine ma è una FIGATA!!!!!!!! Dettagliatissimo e accuratissimo ma non pesante, veloce e interessantissimo, spiegazione ben data e anche io che non li ho mai vissuti sto sentendo tutto con gran forza. 9/10 solo perchè ancora non sono nemmeno a metà, ma un 10 se lo meriterebbe pure

"Un mago di Terramare" di Ursula K Le Guin: (interrotto) ehhhhh.. mehhhh... non mi piace lo stile di scrittura. Non mi piace la trama. Credevo sarebbe stato perfetto per me, ma evidentemente non lo è. Non so se lo continuerò... ma l'ho interrotto troppo presto per dare giudizi ?/10, ma non credo sarà un voto sufficiente

"Quindici riprese: cinquant'anni di studi su Pasolini" di Walter Siti: interessantissimo e che va in profondità sia nelle opere di PPP sia nella sua psiche e soprattutto nel rapporto che si è instaurato tra Siti, lo studioso, e Pasolini, l'ineffabile oggetto di studi che continua sempre a sfuggire in un modo o nell'altro. 9/10 anche qui perchè sono solo a metà, ma anche questo un bel 10 ci starebbe. E poi parla tanto di Guido <3

La rivoluzione piumata, volume primo: i nuovi dinosauri e l'origine degli uccelli di Andrea Cau: bellissimo ma ha avuto la sfortuna di essere stato preso tipo dieci giorni prima l'inizio della mia iperfissazione per PPP. Un giorno lo finirò, promesso. Sembra interessantissimo e io AMO i dinosauri (ma va? mi chiamo alsosprachVELOCIRAPTOR) ma ora sono troppo pierpaolopillata per esistere in un modo normale 8/10 ma chissà

Poi ho letto un sacco di libri universitari per ricerche varie ma quelli non li dico.

Cmq i voti sono in base a quanto mi sono piaciute le letture, non in base alla qualità. Il 10 è la pazzia totale. Ok boh post finito ciau

[helpmeimblorboing]

Raga is the Buddhist and Hindu term referring to any form of attachment, famously considered one of the three poisons in Mahayana Buddhism and one of the three unwholesome roots in Theravada Buddhism

In Buddhist Pali canon, it is considered one of the threefold fires that can prevent a person from reaching nirvana, alongside dvesa (hatred) and moha (delusion)

The Abhidharma-samuccaya states: What is craving (raga)? It is attachment to the three realms of existence. Its function consists of engendering suffering

Raga is said to arise from the identification of the self as being separate from everything else. This mis-perception or misunderstanding is referred to as avidya (ignorance).

However, when I refer to Xiao Xingchen and Wei Wuxian as ragas, I am instead referring to them being the subject of other people's raga, or attachment - with Xue Yang being obsessed with XXC and JC being obsessed with WWX

Funny how Jiang Cheng and Xue Yang are like… parallel lines that happen to start at exactly opposite starting points

Like the dissimilarities are obvious - one is the heir of a Sect, the other is born on the streets. One is a demonic cultivator, the other hunts them down

But then you have the similarities -

- First of all, the Three Poisons. If you would look at my other post, you would see that I pointed out that both XY and JC are people consumed by the Poisons (attachment, hatred and ignorance)

-Second, the subjects of their raga - their attachment - are both in some way related to Baoshan Sanren (XXC being a direct disciple, and Wei Wuxian’s mother also being a direct disciple)

-Third, both of their ragas are in some way affiliated with people related to monkhood (Song Lan came from a Temple, and LWJ is… well, Lan Wangji)

- Fourth, both of them hurt their ragas badly and seem to show some measure of remorse for this - though not enough to stop them from hurting others

Maybe not enough to make a full dissertation, but I find it p cool
