"Women are just objectively more beautiful" "Sexuality isn't a choice because then no one would be attracted to men" "Men are gross and disgusting haha" jokes morph into their final form:

"You transitioning to be more masculine is wasting your natural beauty"

Just as a fun fact, in basically every G1 Transformers thing I've seen in Japanese Optimus (or Convoy) uses watashi as his first person pronoun. This is the type of usage that denotes professionalism, although his speech patterns tend to be manly enough but not too rude. It fits his image as the Autobot commander who takes his duties seriously, but is still friendly. Characters with a similar vibe also do this, like the All Might dude from bna. If you watched Bravern you can see how Smith's pronoun changes from ore to watashi when he turns into Bravern.

Now, Megatron I usually see using washi, which in anime is an old man pronoun. Except in the All Spark manga (that I need to finish translating omg), where he instead uses yo (余). A pronoun no one irl uses anymore, and in anime has the connotation of being ancient, grandiose and pompous. Really fits the unhinged and full of himself Megatron that Tsushima portrays.

My heart almost broke. I mean, of course I and others can/could ship whatever anyway, but I can't help but be relieved that Sidon and Yona's marriage was arranged by his father canonically.

since i've seen others talking about this, as someone who writes predominately lengthy fics (5k+ words), what annoys me the most is that i've seen so many people on tumblr & tiktok specifically say "i hate when writers have too much build-up and don't get straight to the smut, i just skip to it." ???? writers spend HOURS on pieces like that, and to find out you don't really care is very disheartening & is quite literally going to kill not only writing on these platforms but literature as a whole

SVSSS is a novel with a fandom.

[ID: A Scum Villain edit of the "missing the point" meme. A bullet arcs from velinxi art of child Shen Jiu kneeling while furiously glaring. The bullet says, "People are not entirely one thing or the other and holding them to these extremes ignores the complexities that come with their humanity." It arcs over the head of a person across from it, who ignores the bullet and exclaims: "Wow!! Shen Jiu's only crime was being mean and was wrongly hated!" End ID]

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days

Finally, a full video with subtitles of that time Fort accepted and failed the challenge to not touch Peat for a day.

God, I adore everything about this. The agony in Fort's face every time he has to hold back. The diabolical glee in Peat's as he unabashedly baits Fort (with, well, himself). The way Fort cannot stay stoic in the face of Peat's teasing. The baby voice Peat uses that makes Fort melt, with that bashful (badly hidden) smile. The way Fort tries to get around the whole challenge by feeding Peat with his mouth, so they're technically not touching (and the knowing, smug grin Peat has on). The tiniest point of contact with just the elbow (and how apt that Peat's wearing the red shirt when Sky does the same thing to Prapai). The way Fort unleashes the most violently affectionate hug at the end when it finally passes midnight.

i think a really great aspect of oofuri is how much it gets mihashi's ass for being overly timid and dependent. it would be really easy to write off the way he and abe interact as being abe's fault because he is overbearing, and a lot of people do, but it has some really great moments of going "hey, you cannot hide behind abe or depend on him to make every decision. it's not good for you, or him, or the team."

This (draw your blorbo guy in dresses), as well, is therapy.

So we had some great Sky panels this update (credit to @linkeduniverse)

Like these beauties

And of course these (shoutout to Legend and Hyrule for managing to thoroughly aggravate Sky; also my boy over here chugging his energy drink XD)

And then there’s this masterpiece that captures the feeling of Skyward Sword sprints more than anything else ever has

The day these characters stop getting hated on just because they show their strength in a traditionally non-masculine way is the day I can be put to rest

[namtanlovesfilm]

I've just seen someone describe the trainee as a 'slow burn'... slow burn? babe it's been three episodes. they're co-workers. there's a power difference within the company. one ended up with the internship by lying in his interview & the other is a try-hard, speaks (aggressively) his mind, loner. I would've been more surprised if anything remotely romantic had ALREADY happened. I feel like recent bl shows have cooked our brain by feeling the need to have the characters kiss/fuck/get together as early as possible so that the audience feels satisfied. bring back getting the first kiss at ep 8 like in not me or ep 10 like in theory of love, that's the offgun formula AND I LOVE IT THAT WAY <3
