Currently mad that GAHT made my feet grow 1/2 a size because now my nice jam skates do not fit anymore. The bright side of being gay is I can steal my husband's in the short-term.

I used to have a really hard time bringing up the fact that I graduated from high school a year late without feeling the need to explain why and insisting that it wasn't my fault while simultaneously kicking myself for how much I sounded like I was just making excuses for something I should take responsibility for.

Then I watched Dimension 20's "The Seven" and suddenly I could simply say that I was a super senior.

The first time I heard the phrase "super senior" was in reference to Antiope Jones, a Black girl who had been held back a year after getting kidnapped and imprisoned by members of a fundamentalist cult, and like, girl, same.

So, since then, instead of anxiously spinning out any time I tried to tell a personal high school anecdote, I could just say I was a super senior, and then my brain would auto complete that statement with "like Antiope Jones" and I'd feel good about myself because Antiope Jones Is That Bitch.

That's what the problem had been the whole time. I wasn't worried about how other people would perceive me; I had been struggling with how I perceived myself.

Thanks, Aabria.

the thing about helena knowing how to manipulate eddie is that eddie also knows DEEPLY how to bulldoze past her bullshit when he needs to, when he feels like it's worth it, and when he knows it's right. and this baby was ALL THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don‘t think shadow would be much of a video game kinda of guy but if he were I feel like he‘d make all his characters look like maria to send her on all the little adventures she never got to have (I‘m thinking of the game versions of the characters here, I don‘t think this is said/canon for the movies so for those who haven‘t played the games: maria has a autoimmune disease in the games that dr robotnik is trying to find a cure for which is why he brings her everywhere but also why she never got to go out much)

like can you imagine shadow playing monsterhunter world and his hunter is maria and he made the palico look like himself

or animal crossing. That‘s not his island, that‘s marias little village of friends. The house is in cozy warm tones and has all the things she likes in it, one room is decorated to be his own. The villagers are all carefully hand selected to be folks he thinks maria would have liked and also a few ones that he thinks are neat (he may or may not have accidentally selected a group of villagers that are esssentialls sonic and friends but don‘t tell him that)

in pokémon or palworld he makes the player look like maria and her ace in her team would be a pokémon/pal that he thinks resembles or represents him in some way (in pokémon there are a lot of different options depending on the game but in palworls it would be an incineram for sure)

How ever I feel like he‘d only do that in fun adventure or cozy games, in games that he know take dark turns or straight up traumatize the player character in some way he‘d not do that and instead, if the option is there, make the companion resemble maria instead (but only after looking up the the companion dies or gets tortured or something, then he‘ll make the companion something/someone different)

very few 'parenting' things frustrate me more than parents who give their screaming kids an ipad, but I think "emotionally neglectful for 20 years and then wondering why their kid isn't thriving/adjusting to adulthood well, so they try to make up for it by being an overbearing helicopter parent" might take the cake.

I have a question that may be stupid. A manga I read has a character who is Cherokee and Japanese. She's based on a friend of the author's who is also Cherokee and Japanese (her father was stationed in Japan and is a recognized member of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma). Some people in the English fandom have referred to the character's ethnicity as "Japakee" and I... I feel kind of uncomfortable with that term? It reminds me of WWII when Jap was a slur commonly used, and combining that with Cherokee makes it sound kind of anti-Cherokee to me. But I'm not Cherokee, I'm Japanese + Iranian American, so I went, "Wait, I don't think I get to say to someone else that this isn't an okay term. I'm not part of this marginalized group."

I couldn't find any Cherokee or just indigenous people in general discussing this online. Are there, idk, blogs run by Cherokee/indigenous people I can run this sort of thing by? I don't want to barge into your asks just because your posts come up when I search Cherokee, since that seems rude. At the same time, it's hard to find people to ask about this kind of thing. But I certainly don't want to be ignorant of what people in the actual marginalized group being portrayed think. I know I wouldn't want anyone ignoring what Japanese or Iranian people felt about a similar term used about us.

Sorry for the rambly ask. I have ADHD, sometimes I go on too long.

Eh yea that does been a lil weird, but mostly because of like what you said about the Japanese slur tbh. The portmanteau does remind of what some natives will do when they're mixed between tribes though haha, but that's mostly jokes among our communities.

I'll open this up to my native followers, what do yall think?

Re: the Shou and Teru roomate situation I think it's sooo. Interesting to think of the different and same ways they have been affected by Claw. Shou not having a place to stay after the world domination arc bc like where is he supposed to go/where was he even staying to begin with. And Teru bc Claw BLEW UP HIS APARTMENT...

EXACTLY!!

also btw their friend group does not find out about this situation until shou invites ritsu over to hang out and the same time teru invites mob over. from then on teru forces shou to coordinate calendar events with him once a week to prevent conflicts from happening again

'Elizabeth Swann can't simply live on land as a mother and wife, she's a pirate!' and 'All Elizabeth Swann wanted to do was marry Will!' are opinions that can and do co-exist because our cringe fail princess has been failing upwards from the start to become the captain of the Singaporean pirate fleet, subsequently Pirate King and then wife of the captain of the Flying Dutchman; imposing our own narrative on her is what's backwards and our girl loser can literally do and achieve anything

a couple years in the future, but not many...

colour key: blue = english spoken red = norwegian/norse spoken black text = language being masked by english so you can still read. see the borders for actual language. purple borders = norwegian/norse accented english (it's blue tinted by red) orange borders = whatever bat's accent is. while speaking norwegian (it's red tinted by yellow)

i am very normal about languages <3
