charles and erik with each other: oh dear, oh dear. gorgeous 🥺👐 charles and erik with the villain of the week/the x-men: K1LL YOURSELF 🔥🔥🔥
X-Men: First Class (2011) | X-Men Apocalypse (2016)
#charles is soo insane for looking at a god in the face and telling him to fuck off bc he was hurting his best friend. most normal guy.#cherik#mine*#x-men#xmenedit#parallelsedit#filmedit#charles xavier#erik lehnsherr#otp: i want you by my side#god charles' entire demeanor towards apocalypse in xma has always been SOO funny to me. he literally looks ANNOYED every time#apocalypse speaks in the movie. he doesn't even look intimidated or worried that he's trying to possess CHARLES'S BODY or anything#mind you charles wrote his thesis about mutation and here he has THE FIRST MUTANT ever in front of him. who's also a god threatening#to destroy the world. and charles' only reaction is:#'whatever. MOVE OUT OF THE WAY LOSER i CANNOT see erik from where you are standing and i'm worried about him'#and i do think it's very sweet that after this raven tells erik he has to fight for what he has left - and he thinks about charles#(the man that stood on the balcony all those years ago and that cared enough about him to tell him there is more to him#and the same man that STILL CARES ENOUGH to look at A GOD in the face and telling him to go fuck off and die and stop manipulating erik)#charles loves him so much you don't get it........... i'm foaming at the mouth i'm so normal about them

Percy is giving "Storm of Steel" while Luke is more "All Quiet on the Western Front" in terms of experience with the gods ngl.
#both All Quiet on the Western Front and Storm of Steel are books on ww1 written by german vets#but while Storm of Steel is a tale of glory- of a soldier rising through the ranks and fighting a heroic battle despite loss and injury#All Quiet on the Western front is a depressive look at the horrors of war- how doomed and tortured the normal soldiers was#and how utterly futile the entier thing was. The men fighting being little more than lambs to the slaughter#just like how Percy's story is one of gaining glory; of rightous fights and having a happy end#of prevailing and winning despite loss and injury#while Luke's story is ultimatly a testament to the powerlessness and horror of demigod life#of how they are used and abused; thrown to the wolves like the soldiers in ww1 where#and how they are ultimatly unable to change anything#The protagonist of Storm of Steel get's to survive after rising through the ranks; just like Percy got to have his happily ever after#the protagonist of all quiet on the western front dies a useless: meaningless; utterly vain death at the end#his life meant nothing as the war continued on#just like how luke's death meant ultimatly nothing as the gods went back to their old ways#pjo#luke castellan#percy jackson and the olympians#percy jackson

Patalliro! is fascinating to me because of stuff like this. It's unapologetically gay - even within its anime which aired during primetime hours in 1982 - in a way that many later BL manga would never be, like the ones from the early 2000s which would never dare to call their characters actual homosexuals. Patalliro has actually aged quite well in this regard, there's something comforting about how campy it is.
#i still dont really understand how they got away with this kind of thing honestly#female VAs i get that - but first m/m kiss in an anime in episode THREE?????#theres also the maraich/thomas episode where they are *Both* voiced by women....advanced yuri#patalliro#i love how bancorans gender expression is pretty much explicitly to attract only bishounen#you blushed - so you must not be a girl#etc#i also love how joyful it all is#theres never anything sad or tragic about being gay - only that bancoran is forced to kill the bishounen spies/assassins/etc#when bancoran finds out that gay sex feels good after demian; in the manga he is elated. its basically a positive thing#he awakens to his true power...lol#also notable is that while bishounen youth is glorified maraich is 18#this means it portrays being gay as an adult as normal; not a phase relegated to nostalgic adolescent periods of time#according to the NYT japan's psychiatric body called homosexuality a mental illness until 1995#im NOT going to say patalliro changed that or anything lmao but its just significant to me that banmara get to live their lives happily#even raise children together in the manga....???#especially contrasting that with kaze to ki no uta and other manga of the time (no shade intended)#yaoi#<- for tagging purposes#obviously it also got away with a lot by being a gag manga. but still!#months later edit: want to say im not intending to moralize BL manga from the 2000s either. like gen. no hate on them.#as a gay person i just appreciate when characters who act gay are considered gay textually#and its kind of disheartening how gay-as-identity was treated as something incredulous in those manga a lot of the time#even the mere suggestion of attraction to men as a whole and not just the other male lead...yknow#this post is meant to praise patalliro for being unique in its approach to gay content compared to other titles#ive enjoyed plenty of 2000s yaoi titles despite their shortcomings lol#joseiposting#shoujo

Mini rant below and in the tags, the only time I’ll talk about this and my personal take on it.
The way people talk about hypothetical male Anya on Twitter and the idea of how Mouthwashing would play out if the genders were swapped makes me remember how people still don’t take sexual assault and rape with male victims with the same gravity, especially when the perpetrator is female.
#not even gonna tag this cause I don’t want to start discourse in the tags but you can absolutely still explore the concepts of patriarchy#toxic masculinity misogyny and rape culture if the genders where swapped#like those concepts don’t disappear just because Anya is a boy now cause you have to think of all the ways it applies to male victims and#I just don’t understand why people keep getting angry when people facilitate different discussion the game opens you up to#like yes I get the frustration with not seeing the conversations you want but start them go find them why complain on other posts when#people are bringing attention to similar issues and the ways they are overlooked dismissed or blame the victim#I for one think we should have more basic clarifying conversations of SA rape cultures and how toxic masculinity and sexism create scenarios#like the Tulpar and enable men like Jimmy but I also can understand and enjoy the topic being expanded upon to include other cases on a#flipped scale like yes how male centered the fandom is is annoying considering the topic but seeing comments saying that SA isn’t as harmful#to men cause they can’t get pregnant is a whole can of worms you really need to unpack cause holy shit#like in this scenario if Jimmy is pregnant and can’t get rid of the baby Anya is the father yes Jimmy is pregnant but that’s because in this#swap she assaulted a man lied to either say it was consensual he forced himself on her or like canon panicked and semi admitted to forcing#him either way he is afraid to do anything because men do get blamed for defending themselves against women in these situations not to#mention the shaming that occurs because he is a man and should step up for the kids sake and likely be told he should be proud a girl wanted#him that much like yes you have to explain it more but bodily autonomy in this scenario is just as nuanced and I can’t believe I have to#defend something being male centered in a game where the rape of a woman is the catalyst just because people are saying SA for men#is not as damaging or degrading or harmful to autonomy as it is to a woman like how can you want conversations on rape culture and shut down#people bringing up other nuances in the conversation#like people are gonna jump around with it I know but if you only want to talk about one thing stay in that sphere like I just don’t get#going to another space especially one that isn’t even being weird or toxic and starting shit cause you don’t like it like the amount of#unnecessary and mean comments on normal art of think pieces I’ve seen on Twitter is crazy like it’s stupid callout shit for the sake of just#not liking something like I’m seeing so much screen shotting and vague posting like just at the bitch and fight about it like it’s still a#relatively small fandom ur just asking for in fighting on like the few things we shouldn’t have to worry about#as a victim my self and who has been in other situations and being afab I just can’t understand the vitriol toward this sort of discussion#mouthwashing#actually I will tag this cause you can explore the themes in mouthwashing still stop being freaks and just block bitches ong

zionists don't realise it but saying 'this is the most jewish thing ever!' and 'people hate when jews do something clever' and and reporting it as 'innovative methods which carried out a precise military operation' and joking about ongoing attacks using everyday technology to injure thousands of civilians is not. good
#sadly i don't know how to describe the feeling but#the depravity of cheering for 'men losing their testicles' in gaza and lebanon/syria is something i have seen multiple times now#it's recurring#something which has stood out multiple times over the recent months not just with devices blowing up#bottom surgery jokes when people have lost their eyes and fingers and chunks of their stomach#cheering on death as if it means nothing#calling children terrorists who deserved to die#killing civilians and causing mass disabling events in multiple countries does not prove you're winning#that's not a military win in any form#watching anyone celebrate the death of children and regular people regardless of where there from is not normal#that's not normal behaviour#it's not good#how that can be seen as a positive thing for Zionists who are then advertising Zionism as Jewishness i don't know#Palestine#Lebanon#Syria#try to stay offline if in the region#stay safe everyone#fight oppressors where you can#don't praise the 'strategy' of 'precisely' targeting civilians and kids that will all get labeled as evil active fighters#👍#none of it's a surprise considering the history but it still surprises me sometimes the way it doesn't register to them#that maybe associating killing civilians and being gleeful about child murder with Being Jewish is. not good#like that's not a good look for PR you'd think there would at least be some pretense or pretend but no

i understand the truth now. you need to put that forty something year old man in cat ears
#art#traditional art#pencil#fanart#frimomen#teto and rikka are here too#teto's utau outfit because i was doodling this in class and i couldnt remember her synthv outfit LOL#but yeah i was like just drawing him in cat ears normally but then i realized he would do everything in his power to embarrass#any of the ahsoftware girlies within a 10 mile radius any chance he gets so i amped it up#i had joked that one time that frimomen is gonna end up with the fate of all grown men vocal synths where we bully him relentlessly#but now i realize i had it wrong. he thrives in this. we cannot bully him in a way that matters. he will only grow stronger

#succession#tw: csa#like the constant CONSTANT jokes about the topic where he's the victim#the sudden bedwetting before he was just sent away to school#the feelings of responsibility for keeping his family happy and together and Good we're all Good#his self-loathing around sex and intimacy#the way his siblings refer to his physical abuse in a pretty blase way but everything around When He Went Off To School is vague#the show spends a ton of time showing that his actual memories of his childhood are on two tracks: what his siblings saw and what he felt#his father convinced that there's something wrong with him#some fatal crack that can't be fixed - and roman agrees#and PARTICULARLY in the most recent episode when he reveals he couldn't breathe normally around logan#and shiv goes to ask frank and karl 'how bad was dad'#like I don't think logan was the one who did this specifically to roman#but it was clearly someone logan knew#shiv the girl with the selective memory but the girl who knew not to be around those men#being moved enough by her brother's pain to confront the panicked sliver of a question: did dad do this? and if not - did he know?#logan didn't like women but he loved his little girl#shiv was safe#roman? not so much#'why bastard? why base?' why indeed roman

congrats to mr "the worst is ekky (to sit next to). i like sitting next to gustav (because hes quiet)" not giving up on his principles despite the fact mr worst to sit next to is velcroed to mr quiet so really it cancels out
#whatever polycule is forming here is deeply fascinating#im sorry swaggy will never give up sitting next to forsy and its terribly funny to me#forsy you have too men. one with the constitution of a puppy. the other of a freightened deer. on your arms.#something about a metaphor about a pup being trained to be a hunting dog who keeps nipping at the poor little doe whos a little too friendly#sorry i do have to animal metaphor my way around here#i know forsy is adonis but walk with me#adonis lover of apollo. artemis twin of apollo. HUNTING DOGS. AND STAG. AND ALSO-#sorry ill be normal now#where was i?#something about your friends who are together start making out heavily next to you on the couch and you just kinda have to pretend#youre chill with it but youre not and youre too awkward to get up from the couch because then thatll signal youre actually a little#interested and we have to be nonchalant about your two hot friends who youve kinda had an eye on for a while and they become hotter together#and its a little weird and maybe you kinda want to be their third??? patent pending but somehow you end up in a bed with them as they cuddle#and youre just kinda there because they refused to let you sleep on the floor because no come up!!! if you dont we'll join you on the floor!#which is actually worse so you suck it up and try to take up as little space on the bed as possible as they all start getting ready for bed#and like how the fuck did you end up here this was supposed to be like a normal hangout (it is you are just being weird about it)#and then the next morning you just kinda have to pretend you slept fine#despite the fact you were hyperaware of what they were doing next to you and you could not sleep at all actually#sorry am i projecting? well anyways

Happy 10-year anniversary of gay marriage being legalised in the UK
Yes, it’s only been legal since 2014. It hasn’t been that long. Don’t take anything for granted, and don’t think that your rights will never be taken away again once they’re given. They are subject to change.
#happy pride 🌈#anniversary#gay marriage#uk#british things#10 years man. that law isn’t even teenage years old yet#wishing everyone a very gay holiday season#gay#lgbtqia#lgbtq community#the alphabetti spaghetti#keep fighting#fun fact: my mom was born in ‘69 only 2 years after sex between 2 men over 21 and in private was decriminalised#this stuff is all so recent it blows my mind that people don’t understand how new and fragile our rights still are#of course ppl in their 50s are still homophobic. they grew up in a world where being gay was literally ILLEGAL. I don’t blame them.#that’s just how they grew up. it wasn’t normal to be gay. imagine if cocoaine & heroin would be legalised today.#you still wouldn’t find it normal and would need time to adjust or might never adjust to the new normal.

some people put charms around their house like the cross to ward away evil spirits… do you think pikero hangs bargain jeans to keep tuxam away but it only works for a little while until tuxam has gathered the courage to clean up
#Hangyon - “Hi~ Hi~ An auspicious fairy has arrived… Here to grant those who see it luck!"#(Pikero who quietly hangs bargain jeans)#(I don’t know where… The castle walls? His room?) (Wherever it is the place is ridiculously covered with jeans… Too many jeans…)#(Abuzz with mess and confusion that thwarts good and bad men into utter stone.)#(Hangyon is momentarily shocked but quickly recovers his cheery self)#Pikero - “Piii~Kero… Might one ask what you might be doing~~?”#(Pikero who turns to Hangyon)#Pikero - “Fortification.”#(He returns back to business. As if normal.)#(Hanging Bargain Jean after Bargain Jean.)#(On the walls. On the floors. Some idly hanging from light fixtures and taped to doors.) (Splattered naturally as paint meant for walls.)#(Hangyon attempts to make small talk out of Pikero but only receives short-answered responses almost akin to automation)#(If asked what Pikero was doing “Fortification” would be the answer.) (And he would slowly return back to work.)#(Sometimes unbothered with answers. “You know so why ask?”) (Not exactly what is said but implied)#Bargain Jeans Bargain Jeans Bargain Jeans#Walls Floors More And ForeverMore#(And Hangyon would say something like this: “Alas~ Narrative calls for the arrival of a new character because it might be obvious that we’r#(Something like that)#(Hangyon who peers from somewhere as Tuxam attempts to cross the bargain jean ridden place like water that’s reached towards his waist)#(He’s slowly making a path and pushing the bargain jeans around the floor with his ice cream stick)#(Curses beneath his breath out of confusion for “WHY!?” but he knows why just why take these measures in the first place)#(At this point Hangyon is watching like he’s a photographer for National Geographic and can’t disturb the animals)#O’ denim labyrinth in cursed beyond / covered you and all begone / blue is the sky and all painted things#/ rubbed between the feet was fabric and string / dreams innuendo the dystopia / I wore the little article through leg and arm#/ bargain is the life and jeans is the means#tuxam wakes up in a cold sweat#fragaria memories#fragmem#pikero#tuxam

oughggh something that makes me insane about the dynamic between Akihiro and Laura is that they're both outcasts who see themselves as Different than everyone else but the contrast is that Laura in the early days doesn't understand a lot of social skills and societal rules even if she has some idea she has a hard time following by them. but she Wants So Badly to be like other people, to be Human, she wants to fit in and she tries so hard to because she wants to be good, she wants to be better than her upbringing.
Meanwhile Akihiro has always understood societal rules and expectations, social skills, etc and is able to use them to fit in perfectly into whatever role he is playing at the moment, but he doesn't actually Care about following them at all. He's an outcast who has always viewed himself as being different than everyone else and he doesn't care at all about fitting in or trying to live in human rules. Because he doesn't care about anyone else, he doesn't want to do good, he likes hurting people because he has lost sight of their relevance.
It sets up such an interesting contrast between the two of them, Akihiro can fit in but he doesn't want to, Laura can't fit in but she wants to. Akihiro was groomed to be a killer and it's all he wants to be, Laura was created to be a killer but she wants to be good. Akihiro doesn't understand why Laura wants to do good and wants to fit in when she has such power, Laura doesn't understand why Akihiro limits himself by separating himself from society. They intrigue each other because they come from such similar places but have such different values and goals. But Akihiro is especially intrigued by why she is like this, and seeing this in her is what helped him change to be more like her.
#i think a HUGE part of why there is this difference between them is that#laura was literally FORCED to be a killer from the moment she was born. she had no choice. no other option.#she saw other Normal people living their normal and happy lives and wanted that for herself#because she never had that#akihiro on the other hand Was normal#had a normal life#and it was so traumatizing and shitty for him#where he was ostracized by normal people#so when he was given the chance to be Not Normal#to hurt back the society that had hurt him#he took it#obviously he was groomed and manipulated towards this#but i think his upbringing had a Huge part of this#theyre so fascinating.#fav: maybe power is all i have. or all i need#fav: no one owns me! i’m not a thing. i’m laura kinney! i’m the daughter of sarah. i’m the daughter of logan. i’m wolverine!!#r: i’m not here for the island#akihiro#laura kinney#x men
