had a conversation last week with a 10 year old girl about the s5 finale and i can’t stop thinking about it. she said nathalie is the best because she loves adrien enough to lie to him about his father so that he stays happy. completely convinced that emilie was resurrected at the end and shocked when i suggested otherwise. i’ve been dying to know what the children think happened and it’s so interesting

okok so i was having a Conversation and now i’m curious:

i'm new here, and i see this repeating theme in a lot of posts, so i need to conduct a poll to see how widespread the sentiment is:

note from OP: as of making this post, i have only seen up to s3. normally on my blog i ask people to avoid spoilers in the notes, but as i am expecting this might cause some scholarly debate, i will be muting the notifications on this post, so you can (and should) discuss to your heart's content, including citing any source scenes to suit your needs!

happy birthday po uta(vocaloid 6) !! [mar 7]

po uta is an english synth released in 2023. he was developed by Yamaha in collaboration with Sample Size LLC and his voice provider, Porter Robinson, who made the second most viewed english language vocaloid song on youtube, "Goodbye To A World" featuring AVANNA . po uta is illustrated by kana_gnpk. po uta is based specifically off of Porter Robinson's style of singing in his album "Nurture"

sorry i was going ot post yesterday but then i missed it due to school, then it turned out taht the first synth i was going ot post about has a different birthday, and for the second one i found 2 different release dates and a completely different character birthday but no official source for any of those, so i actually have nothing ot post for mar 6

Someone had to have already said this character, but Master Splinter from the 2012 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles show. It could be because I'm a degenerate monsterfucker, but he was hot no question.

Taken from his character profile:

“Splinter is a protective parent, stern disciplinarian, quirky master and Zen philosopher […] he is a ninja master at the height of his abilities, so in tune with the universe that he can literally feel its vibrations, allowing him to project and sense energy and the intentions of others.”

If I remember correctly, this version was the human Hamato Yoshi who mutated into a rat, rather than his pet rat

Reminder, the premise is “would a normie think it’s weird to find them attractive?” (Would they have to “hear me out?”)

On Consent (and drunken escapades)

[Spoilers for Reverse 4 You and The Secret of Us]

Honestly, this episode of Reverse 4 You didn’t make me as uncomfortable as The Secret of Us.  In this case, Four is drunk, but she’s also clearly the initiator.  I don’t feel like Wa is taking advantage of her.  From everything that we’ve seen prior, Wa is clearly into Four, and as clueless as Wa may be, as viewers we know Four is also into her.  And I think if you could magic away the alcohol somehow and ask Four if she really wants to do this, she would say yes in the moment.  That doesn’t necessarily mean that she won’t regret it the next morning (damn you ep5 preview), but there isn’t anything against her will happening.  It doesn’t seem like Wa is taking advantage of Four’s impaired judgment.

This is in contrast to The Secret of Us, when Earn takes Lada home from the bar, they haven’t gotten back together yet, they’re both still doing the thing to make each other jealous, and it’s unclear if Lada has forgiven Earn for the past.  As I was watching, I kept hoping that Earn would put the brakes on at some point, and just let Lada sleep it off.  Because if we go by the same measure as above, and magically make Lada sober in that moment, would she have agreed to what happened?  I’m unsure, and that makes me a lot less comfortable.  Even if Lada is being jealous, and she’s still physically attracted to Earn, on an intellectual level I don’t know if she was ready to go back there no matter how much Earn wanted to.  You can see Lada tries to leave when she wakes up afterwards, and she’s trying to get away from Earn.  This one seems more like Earn taking advantage of Lada’s impaired judgment.  And yeah, that made me feel a lot worse about it.

Consent is important y’all.

Poets and political philosophers alike (such as Richard Siken and Karl Marx) have posited that romantic love must be mutual to be love, and that unrequited love or love that is not returned, is not love but something else. Siken claims it is desire, and Marx calls it an impotent misfortune. Others have weighed in as well with varied and conflicting perspectives, from bell hooks to Erich Fromm. But what does tumblr think?

How many of y'all have ketchup and mustard ships? Like, one character is red and the other is yellow?

audiobook listeners! supposing you listened to the audio of something with footnotes that were longer or discursive (not just like "ibid., 237" or whatever), how would you prefer the footnotes to be presented?
