#Really not trying to offend anyone

[ren-rambles-often]

Literally just noticed something crazy and maybe it's because I rewatched KnB a while ago and now I'm finally able to play Bllk PWC but it's kind of wild...

How on one hand we have Kise; he's a popular, he's got the looks, money and opportunities people would kill for and in addition to that he's an all rounder who's capable of replicating anyone's moves. Everyone hyped this up, and I'm pretty sure next to Kagami or Kagami he was one of the fan favourites.

And on the other hand, that's almost practically the same mind you, we have Mikage Reo who also has all these qualities but because he's not selfish and he unashamedly devotes himself to chasing a dream with Nagi (the deuteragonist), as they refuse to fully conform to blue Lock's standards, so many people like to see him as weak and holding Nagi back but that's really not case.

These characters are practically of the same mold but maybe it's cuz I wasn't in fandom at the height of Knb, but the thing is that I've never seen Kise hate but as a bllk fan almost every month is having to watch so many many people mischaracterize or undercut Reo's importance to Nagi because they're not following the script of staying apart to grow.

For Kise and Kuroko's story, it was probably best they stayed apart, it's not like Kise didn't make an attempt to pull Kuroko back in his orbit but it serves the plot that they find their own paths and Kise learn to acknowledge others and see them worthy of respect.

Reo's spent his whole life acknowledging people, spent his life confirming to the ideals his parents and the society he grew up set for him. For him Soccer and meeting Nagi are two things so intrinsically entwined especially since they stemmed from the one thing he wants to earn for himself. So obviously Nagi's just as big a part of his story as he is to Nagi's.

I feel I kind of lost the plot at some point but what I'm really trying to say is that Reo hate and trying to push a terrible interpretation of him is basically low IQ behavior. Everyone in Blue Lock is fucking emotional and crazy to some degree so him been icy in that one arc to Nagi is actually nothing crazy. Teaming back up with Nagi in NEL was a questionable at best but at this point it's clear they're dedicated on being a package deal no matter how many L's they might take along the way (which lol love that for them, couple goals).

And most especially him (or Nagi) refusing to give up on working together isn't stupid, for all the ego and selfish talk some haters seem to speed they're blind to seeing this duo's conviction to being the Isagi adjacent is their own version of Ego. An Ego that relies on their shared dream.

That's all from me, this probably seemed like a shipping post towards the end but hey, I am their number one fan (referring to ngro here). I love Kise too but in KnB I think I'd have to say Tetsuya is my favorite. Hope I made some Reo lovers happy and some Reo haters mad, I'll be back to edit when I don't have to retake a test in the morning ( ◜‿◝ )♡ I've gotten a couple Asks about ngro dynamics so I'll probably be tackling those next, see ya <333

Ficlet inspired by this post by @wikitpowers

Kit looks up at the mirror and smiles. When Dru had come to him with a bottle of hair dye he had been very skeptical, but it looked good on him if he said so himself.

He walks out of the bathroom to model his new hair for Dru herself, who had put purple streaks in her hair before they dyed his to show him it wasn't a big deal. "It looks just like I pictured it! Ty is going to love it, I'm sure!"

Kit blushes at the exclamation and rubs the back of his neck. "I sure hope so. Remember our deal if he doesn't though."

Dru rolls her eyes at him. "Yeah yeah, we'll dye it back if it's too much for your boyfriend." She smiles. "You really do look good though, I think my brother is gonna love it."

Kit smiles, a little reassured. He definitely wouldn't mind keeping it for a few months if Ty liked it, his opinion was important to Kit after all.

I’ve had this idea for a indie video game that I’m a little scared to share.

Basically, it’s called Feralfolk and it’s about a group of escaped slaves, orphans, or other children/teenagers in 15th century Finland who decide to form an otherkin society, and you’re one of them. You get to choose your appearance, mask, and name, and you basically have to build up a village with your buddies while prioritising your and their needs.

I’ve pictured it in the style of Cattails and Stardew Valley, and also inspired by Manor Lords and Yaelokre as well.

If someone were to actually make this into an indie game, let me know if I can help with anything. Please note I have no coding skills, so I can help with backgrounds and loading screens, or dialogue.

I hope people know that my Icemav raised Bradley AUs are literally just that- AUs. Alternate universes. They didn’t happen in canon. They happened in my brain. And on Ao3 where I posted them. I’m fully aware that’s not what happens in canon and I respect that ����🏻

[relaxxattack]

listen mate its incredibly important that we all keep spreading the info about whats happening in gaza. id argue its the most important thing we can be doing rn. but can you fucking get off your high horse about 'not posting about your hobbies' bc its 'clogging the timeline'? just unfollow those ppl who arent up to your standards of online activism. youre not helping by telling ppl to do nothing but focus 24/7 on atrocity. as you should know with 'this blog is a relaxing space' in your pinned post many ppl use social media as a place to de-stress after theyve done irl activism. i dont apologize that this is rude lmao offense is strongly intended since youve reblogged so many posts in the past championing mental health and self care

it was not my post, it is simply an opinion i am sharing... i am still a supporter of mental health and self care. currently i am heartbroken by the genocide of thousands of people and doing my best to do right by them. i reblogged the post because i too feel like i am "losing my mind" seeing most people in my circles on most social medias i have appear to be carrying on as normal. it feels very defeating, very strange. as someone with ocd who, you are correct, strongly advocates against "guilt tripping" in reblogs; i feel this is the one time my reblogs have actually been important. i feel that speaking up is more important than my own relaxation. i am of course aware that not everyone is up to date on the information, that not everyone knows the urgency, that not everyone has the energy. that human brains are not made to comprehend the capacity of wars outside of our own lives. that partaking in our fandom interests is of course more enjoyable than speaking of terrorism. i am not condemning any of these people. you are allowed to do whatever you want online, forever. i am just... sad? that is all.

"Rodimus is a better Prime because it didn't hurt for him to bond with the Matrix while for Optimus it did" headcanon/theory my beloathed.

One day I'm literally gonna snap and make a whole post addressing why what's wrong bc I'm tired of the inaccuracy and tired of ppl not understanding the Point TM of IDW and its version of the Matrix/Primacy and even more tired of people putting down Optimus in favor of Rodimus by essentially arguing that being unworthy means you deserve to be punished/put in pain bc you just weren't good enough to hold the Symbol of Ultimate Authority

I’m in no way a scholar/expert on like. anything, so I may be talking out of my ass but it’s insane to me that people are making pro israel arguments by saying that there are people indigenous to Israel. im not sure how you can be indigenous to a settler state? like yes there are Israeli citizens who have a long history of living in the area that Israel now occupies but Israel has nothing (and also everything ykwim) to do w being indigenous. I don’t want to speak for anyone but you are indigenous to the land & original peoples of the land, not the new settler state

[eileennatural]

to be clear: when i am critical of megan's law/the sex offender registry it's not bc i don't take sexual violence seriously or whatever. it's bc its largely useless and excessively punitive. bc before megans law, sex offenders already had very low rates of recidivism compared to other violent offenders (re-arrest for sex offenses). and because the sex offender registry actually disincentivizes offenders from NOT recidivating ("if everyone is gonna know anyway, what's the point of NOT re-offending?" "Life is now so hard for me due to the stigma i carry for life, I might as well re-offend and risk getting sent back to prison") NOT TO MENTION the fact that it stigmatizes and silences victims. how many people do you think haven't come forward bc they don't want a family member or loved one to be on that list for life. there have been real instances of young children being identified (and harassed) as victims of abuse based off their parent's place on the registry. if you actually wanted to rehabilitate people you wouldn't force them to publicly humiliate themselves (and potentially invite actual violence) every time they have to move or apply for a job

sometimes I think about how everyone is so obsessed with how they look and think other peoples' opinions are what determine if they are attractive or not. by that logic, i'm one of the ugliest people to ever exist because i've never, to my memory, had a random person tell me i'm attractive in any way just by looking at me. I've only had people give me pity compliments after I say something like the last sentence lmao. but I don't accept those. I don't want your pity

thinking about DJ Apotheotic details on break that i cant exactly communicate through brief doodles

even though he has that whole Need To Look Professional front going, he still talks very much like how he normally would (which, for lack of a better descriptor, has the energy of a "totally radical dee jay / surfer dude from the 80s, yo")

he's so scared 80% of the time he's out in front of other people, for a few different reasons (...all of which i'd forgotten in the five seconds it took for me to think about wording reason #1. curse you, brain worms). he hides that behind his 'cool guy' persona, but he's got such a hair trigger temperament right under the surface that it doesn't take much to make him flinch or jumpy or otherwise snappy

Anyway, sorry for the old Pisha fanart. Though she has always been a favorite of mine, reading @ineed-to-sleep‘s post made me question my own representation of her, so I have removed it from this account. I agree that POC characters need to be represented in art better, even when they come from very old video games.
