Guys it's okay for an ending to be sad.
#Loki#(more nuanced conversation in the notes)#loki season 2#loki spoilers#I really don't wanna talk about this#But like just because something is melancholic#Doesn't mean it can't be beautiful#And if you're upset about your ship#That's not the story they were telling#It was about Loki's growth as a person#It doesn't matter if his feelings towards Mobius#Or Sylvie were romantic/sexual/platonic/familial#What mattered was that he cared#That he loves them#All of them#I'm not saying don't ship things#Make all of it! enjoy all of it!#That's the best part of fan works#You get to have your cake and eat it to!

How did Treasure Planet manage to come up with the greatest aesthetic in all human history? Victorian elegance plus space-age flair, with just enough dirt and grime and wear and tear to make it feel real? A combination of traditional and computer animation that perfectly embodies the movie's blend of old and futuristic? How does it get any better than that?
#treasure planet#turned it on on a whim#because sylvia's lovers put me in the mood for sailing ship vibes#and it turns out it fits in really well with the north and south space opera i've been thinking about again#it's really hard for me not to give thornton a giant beautiful space sailing ship#(no you can't do it! the point is that they're industrial and purely functional!)#also i've got another post brewing about how treasure planet is an excellent boy's adventure coming-of-age story#and we need more of those because i feel like the genre doesn't exist in the same way these days#but i'm not sure i could say what i mean without getting folks up in arms#so i'm keeping it to the tags

"why were you staring at them? you like them, don't you?" uhm no. i just thought they were aesthetically pleasing. don't you also stop and stare at someone in absolute awe of how beautiful they are, feeling blessed to be in the presence of such a stunning being?
#like i can't be the only one right#i absent mindedly analyze someone's features when i find them attractive#ESPECIALLY women#i'm so gay (in the aesthetic attraction sense)#let me admire people's beauty in peace 😖#just bc i think someone looks neat doesn't automatically mean i wanna get w them#aromantic#asexual#aro#ace#asexuality#aromanticism#aspec#aroace#aroace problems#lgbtq#queer

#sangihun#squid game#i have to say i view their dynamic as very. repressed i guess#i don't want anything to actually happen between them i suppose. besides when i want to jerk it to yaoi#there's the fujo side that wants to be like kyaa sangihun >w<#but then i'm like but what would sangwoo my beautiful princess with a disorder actually do here#at first i lold.. and then i serioused...#i think my other post about sangwoo explains the way i view their dynamic#it's very.. non sexual. can't even say it's pure emotions because sangwoo hasn't felt an emotion in 30 years and gihun is so deep into his#coping mechanisms so it's like if a relationship was a thought exercise#i view gihun as a guy who “doesn't want to push it”. you know what i mean?#in terms of getting inside sangwoo's head. even if he is genuinely worried#it would take them tons of alcohol (or being on the verge of death in the final battle) to finally feel#fully vulnerable and umm#god take all of my ocd and give it to sangwoo so his ocd doubles#maybe triples.#let me know what you think if you read this lol!!#cho sang woo#seong gi hun#<- forgot about the name tags

Tim unconsciously sending/showing signals of his feelings for Lucy
#jesuis-assez edits: chenford#jesuis-assez edits: chenford multi#Or rather Tim's body responding to what his mind has not yet caught up with and his actions showing/ revealing#his feelings in full display. Or rather Tim's mind suppressing what he doesn't want to acknowledge#Tim closing the door to the possibility of having developed feelings for Lucy while she was his rookie or rather ..#Tim not thinking of Lucy in that light as she was his rookie but feeling so much for her and not understanding what he was feeling.#Because this is uncharted territory for him. This feels different. What he feels for her and what she has given him.#Or rather Tim needing to be in control and how he couldn't control his heart letting Lucy in.#Or rather allowing Lucy to take space in his heart gradually until she covers it completely with her love and kindness#and not realising just how deeply he had fallen for her. How she came to be this important person in his orbit#How she came in his life and changed it for the better. How she was his rookie and his friend and how this one person could mean so much#and how he can't bare to lose her.#How little control he had over how he feels for her and how he came to accept and embrace that#how the entire foundation they built was worth risking and exploring to him#because how could something so beautiful not be?#*takes a breath * ok. I wish I could convey all of this more eloquently but my brain is just not having it.

something about the main menu for life is strange genuinely makes me wanna collapse and sob
#like not just the music but the overall visuals yknow#it's like this gut wrenching#almost nostalgic ????#feeling that hits like a truck#especially after playing the full game#seeing how peaceful things could be is almost like#i dunno gives me that feeling of dread when you've done something you can't undo#seeing how good things could be but knowing you don't get to go back#sorta thing#it's just#something about beautiful pictures having gut wrenching back stories#does something bad to my brain#naturally#i dunno i'm half asleep and rambling#but yknow what i mean#i'm trying to put it into words as best i can#it's like#it really is just like what growing up feels like ig#especially when it doesn't turn out how you want#wanting to go back and warn yourself so you can hopefully make things easier and more ideal but obviously you can't#that's kinda what the menu feels like#music and all#especially those goddamn birds chirping#ok goodnight#life is strange#chloe price#max caulfield#lis chloe#lis max#pricefield

So while everyone is trying to get any discourse that isn't Apple related going, would this be a good time to mention I think Faybelle/Apple and Briar/Raven have more parallels than Apple/Briar and Faybelle/Raven? Or talk about the realtionship between Raven and Briar at all? Anybody here?
#pleaseeee someone talk to me abt this i'm actually begging#faybelle and apple both being royals following their destinies because they idolize their mothers#while briar and raven both have absentee mothers and terrible endings#so they try to escape that by any means necessary#and the resentment raven causes in briar for taking that step first#ever after high#eah#apple white#briar beauty#raven queen#faybelle thorn#honestly the only real parallels apple/briar and raven/faybelle have in the dynamics between the two pairs#are that they're villains vs protagonists of the story#but in universe it doesn't count as much as their actual opinions and actions around destiny do#it's also worth noting that briar refuses to participate in the dragon games#smth raven tries to do but can't because of her mom#while faybelle and apple spend dragon games teamed up with raven's mom for the majority of it#like if we want to talk abt characters and dynamics outside of whether or not apple is a good person... just saying....#open to discussion here.....

what do you do when it's 1600, you just gained independence a few years ago and now you're at war with this guy but you end up going to bed with him half of the time?
if tumblr deletes this!! oopsies??? anyways
#hetalia#hws netherlands#hws portugal#nedport#didi art#i'm gonna ramble in the tags#i think during the dutch-portuguese war while they were doing nation stuff they also ended up getting involved#and i can't blame abel... meu puto joão is beautiful#but i do think that abel is quite inexperienced with almost everything#he just gained independence from spain a few years ago. left his sister with a guy he despises and basically has the world in his hands#but he has barely any experience for stuff not related to being a nation#and joão is tied to antonio still and will remain like that for a few decades more#he already has the world but he doesn't have the same freedom he had before the iberian union#idk .. idk.... they're crazy#aph netherlands#aph portugal#cw suggestive#??#i mean it's quite clear what's going on i'm not suggesting anything

Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance - Braig / Xigbar
#kingdom hearts dream drop distance#khddd#braig#xigbar#my gif#his pointy shoulders deflated with age#...do you ever wonder about his scarf?#radiant garden took pride in its beauty and ansem the wise was a ruler who was beloved and admired by his people (despite... yknow)#so is it safe to assume that being a guard of this world being tasked with protecting the castle/its ruler/and the townspeople-#would be considered a prestigious occupation?#yet we see braig wearing an old tattered scarf#it's a curious addition to his uniform that looks out of place among other guards#i dont think it was added to his design to help him stand out because cmon it's not like he's competing for relevance with dilan and aeleus#braig fights from afar with his guns it's not like he's some scrappy guy that might have messy clothes from battle#i wouldn't be surprised if this was ephemer's scarf that he somehow came into possession of#and is holding onto it with the possibly of it being used as some kind of medium/waypoint#who's to say he's not still wearing it under his organization coat? just because we can't see it anymore doesn't mean it's gone#riku had an entirely different outfit under his own organization coat so who knows what xigbar has under there#i like to think braig used to be scolded for wearing the scarf because it covers up the uniform's emblem#and wearing old ripped articles of clothing isn't part of the image the guards would presumably have to uphold#but eventually they gave up on making him take it off because he just does whatever he wants#just something i think about from time to time#xigbar has always been so mysterious and cryptic i can't help but keep an extra close eye on him#especially since he's been revealed to be so much more than what he seems. who knows what tricks he has up his sleeve#i don't think it's outside the realm of possibility

Interesting convo about the suitability of Ancient Rome as a setting for historical romance led to the question of "If Ancient Rome not okay for historical romance setting, why Regency okay" (a good convo to have, imo), which then led to "Regency okay because we can say this duke was good to his servants which is an acceptable handwave; no acceptable handwave for Ancient Rome".
With the implication being that because the everyday exploitation is VISIBLE in Ancient Rome, whereas it's Off Elsewhere for the dukes (who benefited, let us be clear, from an empire based on slavery, indentured servitude, and colonialism, whether or not they WANTED TO), the dukes can get a handwave
And I find that. Pretty bad tbh.
#romance novel blogging#it's very 'well we can't SEE what's happening in india in the 1800s so it's fine'#let us be clear..... the handwave is almost always getting deployed at some point in historical romance#even in progressive historical romances#whether it's 'well my duke is an abolitionist' or 'well my duke is a feminist'#or simply the fact that your duke rakes around without protection and doesn't have the syph#and i accept handwaves ALL THE TIME as i think all historical romance fans do#and certainly i think there are settings that draw a line for me#but to me if you can't handwave ancient rome and come up with the one Not All Romans guy#then you can't do that for..... many other ancient societies i think authors should be able to write within#ancient egypt comes to mind#and frankly there are aspects of ancient rome that i think could be very beneficial for historical romance novelists to explore#such as the fact that a man of color could realistically be powerful in ancient rome#because the concept of race was quite different to say the concept of race in regency england#and i mean.... again i look to ancient egypt; are we not supposed to have variety in historical romance because the settings#make the primarily white audience uncomfy because they can't focus on the beautiful gowns versus the big colonialism?#i'm not saying i have my exact thoughts on this fully ironed out#but the concept of 'regency fun ancient rome not' because regency is OFF TO THE SIDE exploitation#..... I DON'T LIKE IT

How does conversion work for a trans person? I'm scared of being naked for the mikveh immersion and also the part about circumcision, I really don't want anyone to see my body naked
I feel you on that, anon. So, it will heavily depend on which branch of judaism you plan on converting to, but there will be trans-friendly and trans-unfriendly spaces within each branch. I think the best course of action is to ask around with rabbis which take in students - definitely ask rabbis what their expectations would be as a trans student. Honestly, the only reason I didn't disclose my transness immediately to my rabbi was because I could tell he'd be trans-friendly even through email.
Now, I don't know your specific circumstances, nor will I ask, but there are options depending on what you're looking for. I'm a trans guy - I don't have the obligation to go through bris, and I'm not really able to. However, I do fulfill many of the mitzvot for men, and that compromise sort of offsets the fact that I don't have any way to really go through with bris.
For the mikvah, I've heard some places will put a sheet barrier in the water so that your body isn't fully seen. From what I know, you just need people to witness (even for a split second) that you are fully immersed and not your body. This might be dependent on the movement, however.
Otherwise, the process is very similar if not identical to cis counterparts. You can fulfill a ton of mitzvot as yourself, and in general, transness doesn't really prevent you from doing that. I would definitely talk with your rabbi for any accomodations you might want in this process - it's imperative that you're able to trust your rabbi to be receptive and willing to hear you out or compromise or anything else. If you have follow-up questions, I'd love to hear them; I can only speak to my experiences, but I know that it can sometimes be comforting to know you're not the only trans convert in the world. Transsexuals have become jewish since the dawn of time; you have no reason not to be jewish if that is something you want.
#ask#jumblr#jew by choice#jewish conversion#trans jews#queer jews#personal thoughts tag#i can't speak to the mikvah process as a trans person yet but once i do i will let you know what my options were and what i chose#i myself have become a lot less dysphoric but there was definitely a time where i was EXACTLY where you are now anon#so i get the feeling and i want you to know that there is nothing wrong with how you feel#being trans is a beautiful thing but it's also hard#with the last sentence: it's lighthearted but it's true#trans people have existed for thousands of years#trans people didn't just magically start converting when we were invented in 2014 in the bowels of tumblr#no; we were in medieval spain and bronze age egypt and talking with emperors and existing as people no matter what#to say that there's no precedent for trans people and no precedent for us comverting isn't really true#therefore there is *inevitably* going to be a space for you. judaism is vast this is true. which means there's a spot for you in it#it's true that not all spots in judaism are progressive. there are some places where being trans isn't seen as a thing#but that doesn't mean judaism is going to look that way across the board#i hope remembering that helps. it helps me

Man, everyone is always talking about how Kabru is wearing eye makeup, but you guys understand that he is just naturally heart-stoppingly gorgeous right? He's probably not wearing any makeup, he's South Asian and he has naturally long, dark lashes, and a delicate, feminine face. He's a beautiful man! He'd look radiant even naked and covered in mud.
He's the type of beautiful that people write poetry about and start wars over!
This is just canon. It's shown and told to us multiple times and ways. People see him and swoon on sight, even when he's barely trying. Even when he's dirty and tired, even when they are hardened warriors and spies. And it's implied that he can and does do this sort of thing regularly... He has a whole flock of women that he's charmed.
And it's not like Dungeon Meshi has sameface syndrome. There's plenty of other men that don't look like Kabru. Kabru's meant to be very, very beautiful. AND on top of that, he's also insanely charismatic and genuinely good at reading people, figuring out what they want, and finding ways to give it to them that makes them like and trust him. He manages to do it within minutes of meeting Daya's hostile, jealous fiancee.
He's a Cleopatra, an Alexander the Great, a Caesar. If he was in a war he'd go out with 10 soldiers and come back with 20 because he convinced the enemy to defect and join his mission.
He's not perfect but he's damn close. His biggest flaw, Kui explicitly tells us, is not having enough experience, and specifically not knowing enough about monsters. The first will naturally be fixed as time passes, and the second.... well, it isn't a problem as long as he's not in a dungeon, which is 99% of his life....
#im not going to tag this because i don't want to get into fights#though hopefully nothing i'm saying here should be wildly controversial#im just like. why is everyone obsessed with the idea that he cant look like that naturally? he does.#kui has shown us repeatedly that some characters DO wear makeup#he's not one of them!#that doesn't mean he CAN'T wear makeup or that it's impossible...#but I think if she meant for him to be wearing makeup Kui would ABSOLUTELY have told us. she loves that topic!!!#kabru has the skill to be charismatic#and the luck to be drop-dead-gorgeous which helps him utilize that charisma. if he weren't this pretty he'd just have to work harder#but I don't think that would stop him. Hard work is his defining characteristic.#anyway justice for kabru being a beautiful handsome man who is still masculine

#rough day#my dad is having a terrible time and I can't really help much without someone to help ME#so that's scary and sad#and the Christmas thing im making for my bf looks beautiful but i made a really really bad mistake#that means it is incredibly delicate to the point it will ultimately not be able to withstand things like dusting or being stored#so it has to go in a bell jar or something similar#and i will redo it completely after that#and i feel bad for making a mistake i was warned about because i badly misjudged what other artists meant by 'light layers'#i should have tried a more thorough test run but i thought there probably wasn't time and i turned out to be super right about that#i know the longevity thing doesn't matter much as long as i have it ready for my boyfriend#and everything else can get sorted later#but i am doing absolutely beautiful work on something i know won't survive and the context of the piece makes that unutterably sad#and the situation with my dad is awful and upsetting and i don't know what to do#i'm not a very good grownup i really am not and so much of what is being asked of me is crap i cannot do#or what is going to be asked of me#my boyfriend is here for me but doesn't know any more than i do and i feel very alone#anyway the thing im making may be fragile but it's still so beautiful and i think you'll love it when i share it

things get better. my best friend in the world got top surgery after us talking about it for years. i'm getting mine next year. i have genuine friends now who teach me everyday what love looks like. love looks like going to an arcade and talking for hours at the bar instead. love looks like planning road trips to our hometowns. love looks like choosing our regalia colors together. love looks like learning our language. love looks like compression binders. love looks like top surgery scars. love looks like sweet grass tattoos.
things get better.
#i just remember being a kid and trying to picture my future and coming up blank#never thought I'd have friends who invitr me to shows and genuinely excited to introduce me#I've got this great friend i met at work and she's so fucking awesome!#the exact girl I'd see as a kid and was like god i wanna know her i wanna be her friend#and everytime we talk it's like light casting both ways#im so thankful for my family#im so thankful for my uncle who tells me so many funny stories#for all the endless conversations. for teaching me about our people. telling me about where we come from. feeding me spaghetti after sweat#holding my earrings at the powwow. im thankful for my cousins and their loud beautiful laughter#and for finally fucking accepting that my parents not wanting to be apart of my life doesn't mean I can't live it#wado to friends and family#and actually looking forward to the future now ❤️#vent
