#also sorry im replying to this ask so late!

Since you said we could ask you things about Ukraine I was wondering about the drinking culture?

I'm slavic and it bothers me when it's portrayed as everyone in this country drinks and no one bats an eye to underaged drinking I want to hear your thoughts? It's fine if not this might be a stupid discussion to have right now

yess this is a good question and also such a pain-in-the-ass topic tbh, i wasn’t really sure how to approach it at first. this stereotype is annoying and, if we dig deeper, it comes from a place of prejudice.

but the thing is that i cannot fully debunk it

at least for me, i’ve seen adults not mind or even encourage underage drinking at family gatherings. if there is a celebration, a teen would usually be offered some wine, and, as far as everything is supervised, adults usually find it ok. never trying an alchoholic beverage till 18 is somewhat seen as prudish, but on a small scale.

there are drinking problems! but, obviously, alcoholism itself is very frowned upon. a supervised sip of champagne in a family circle is one thing, geting drunk in the bushes with your classmate vlad is another.

so, yes, eastern europeans do drink. and so do western europeans, americans, australians, africans, everyone. i’d say situations are very similar, sometimes better, sometimes worse. there are stereotypes about them too! but when it comes to portraying a country with barabaric drinking habits, people aim for slavs. the reason for so much misinterpretation in media is a general stereotype of eastern europeans being “lower class” and “barely europe”.

and also, perhaps, because while the western society is set on condemning teen drinking all the way (without solving anything about it and romanticising it in media), slavic/balkan people take a more grounded approach. they recognise that, while this is an issue, a kid cannot be sheltered from it and better they try it with their grandpa kuzma on a front porch of a village house and view it as a normal part of life, rather than with god knows who and god knows where. american teens drink young too, in similar amounts, but for them it’s the thrill of doing something forbidden, unnatural and adult that makes the experience. but if you grew up without it being taboo, you’re starting to realise it doesn’t really make you cool.

ukrainian teens cringe at american tv shows with teens getting drunk at 16 at a houseparty with a dramatic lightning. while both the ukrainian teen watching and the american character have probably consumed the same amount of alchohol in their lives!

a more grounded approach is misinterpreted as allowing kids to become alcoholics, which, well, sucks. say, we can’t really take away mishas drinking out of the story, but we should recognise that the whole thing with “culturally engrained alcoholism” and “sacred tradition to drink on birthday” is bullshit

hope it was a decent answer lol

god hi hi hi im actually real life so horny for you i think you are SO hot and Everytime I see one of your jumpsuit pics I 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 I can't help but imagine you as some kind of mechanic who works on robot girls and takes me apart and works on my insides and meanwhile I'm so turned on by the whole experience my systems diagnostic keeps turning up insane results and I'm overheating for some unknown (to you) reason constantly and something must be wrong with my communication chip because why else would I be stammering so much and that's when you notice I had a new soft mouthpiece installed to better mimic human mouths and you think, no one else is around... the robot in front of you sees your expression and opens it's mouth wider... please fuck okay anyway bye 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

!! really? im surprised anyone thinks of me like that,,, especially by the cute bot thats currently half-disassembled on my workbench.

its strange, no matter how many times i recompile the driver for this fancy new soft jaw you have installed, you still trip over your words and keep making these exceptionally adorable whimpers. And yet, diagnostics come back all green...

its amazing what these new bio-mimicry soft robotics are capable of. your sighs and moans sound so realistic, youre getting me flustered and worked up, you know--

unless...

maybe i should try running my own tests, hmm? you wouldnt mind that, would you?

good bot~ 🧡

hello why is kaishin more popular than shinkai or what i mean is why bottom shinichi is like the most widely believed one? lol not really in the fandom just vaguely familiar with the anime from childhood it's just my mutuals likes this ship. i'd thought shinichi being the top would be more popular given his personality.

anon sorry for the late answer!!

imma be real honest with you, anon, i've loved the kidco dynamic since i was conan-sized but i only realized kaishin should be making out around 2021 so i don't know if i'm the best person to answer this question LOL BUT, i'll give you an answer!

tbh, i think for fandom shipping in general, the main character more often than not is the chosen bottom and whoever else is the other party is topping them. in japanese media especially, the ship names are mostly born from putting the kanji of their names together wherein the order of which indicates the seme and uke. since this happens early on, we kinda get stuck with that as the popular ship name whether you prefer the other way later on.

perhaps kaishin is more popular but not entirely by a lot compared to other ships where it's completely skewed to one side. i see a lot of shinkai too. ofc there are people who prefer one way over the other exclusively and that's completely fine!

personally, i think confining them into seme and uke or top and bottom does a great disservice to the kaishin dynamic because to me we should be looking at their sub-dom dynamic more and why they're actually peak switch sub and dom!!!!

that's fucking right kaishin is actually peak switch and i will die on this fucking hill!!!!!!!!!!

when you say shinichi would be the "obvious top," i'd like to assume in your heart you actually meant "the obvious dom" (LOL) but i think that could also apply to kaito.

i think the appeal of kaishin is the push and pull between them. the give and take. they're always trying to one-up each other. sometimes one pushes and the other gives way, sometimes it's the other way around.

i will be honest, perhaps switch pairings might just be my preference but I have never encountered a pairing that felt this completely equal in the switch department more than kaishin. like for other ships i'd sometimes be like, "yeah they switch but A is 70% more dom than B." But for kaishin I'm like, "oKAY THEY'RE 50/50 THEY'RE EQUALS THEY'RE PERFECT HALVES RAAAAAHHHH"

now how does this answer your question? well, i have no proof and im going off of vibes and like i said im no veteran in this ship fandom but, i think a lot of people do enjoy the other way around as you think it would've been. it's just that...it's something that can just be filed under the kaishin tag too. because it's basically the same sometimes. the only different thing is who's topping and bottoming. like sometimes i'm scrolling through twitter and i'd see art that's giving shinkai but it's tagged as kaishin and vice versa lol.

also personally i prefer calling them kaishin because i love the letter k and i associate the name shinkai more with makoto shinkai so every time i see people refer to kaishin as shinkai, my mind just conjures up an image of kaito, shinichi, and makoto shinkai together and i know that's fucking hilariously weird but it sometimes happens!!!! LMAO so even if i'm thinking about shinkai stuff, i still prefer using the name kaishin lol.

(but having the kaishin/shinkai distinction is definitely still useful especially for people who want to filter through one way or the other so fuck yeah to the ship name shinkai you're here to stay!!!)

anyway in conclusion, top shinichi is popular too dw lol, or maybe i should say bottom kaito is popular too lol i see yalls

also sorry that this answer is not only late but also a whole essay that doesn't even straightforwardly answer your question lol my bad anon

how do you feel about ttpd now !!

OMG THIS IS LATE BUT I TOTALLY DID NOT SEE THIS IM SORRY!!! 😭😭

also yes the first time i listened to ttpd I didnt like it, but now a LOT of the songs are starting to grow on me, and although i still don’t rlly like i can do it with a broken heart, i like it more than i did before. so far my fav songs on the album are loml, (the outro is so sad 😭😭💔) guilty as sin, who’s afraid of little old me, fortnight, and the tortured poets department. i have still not listened to the entirety of the anthology, but so far i really like peter too! there are also a ton of other songs that i didn’t like that have grown on me, and i think taylor did a rlly good job on the album 🫶🫶 (and im so sorry that im replying a full month late i genuinely forget to check my inbox a TON 😭😭)

[princeyam]

I LOVE YOUR ART but I have to ask, is your oot link trans masc too?

about your question, im a bit more loose with my interpretation of oot link. it genuinely depends on my mood that day LOL so while hes usually cis in my headcanon he can be trans too! either way hes gnc 😌

[yumethefrostypanda]

I like that you don't denigrate a Ghost in your blog. You don't focus on the fictional love affair with Soap fans. You recognize (as I do) the sexuality of the Ghost, highlight its beautiful parts of the body, but don't pervert it. As a person who has very warm, tender feelings for a dear and beloved character, it is extremely pleasant for me to follow your content dedicated to the Ghost. I love him so much that everything connected with him is dear to me. Thank you for your concern!❤️‍🔥💋🙏

Thank you so much! And i bet you've send me anon asks before, thank you for those :D You described it perfectly how i 'talk' about Ghost ^-^ I indeed don't ship Ghost with Soap, or ship any of the 141 with eachother for that matter. I'm so glad to read my blog makes you feel this way! And that we share how we 'approach' Ghost :) Take care ♥

PLEASE tell me about marytunia. i have to know what this is

hi lovely!!!!

okay marytunia have recently been SO on my mind bc i saw @fernhelm tag a post w them the other day and i was like HOLD ON!! I SEE IT!! and THEN i had a vague recollection of jen talking about them one time last year at some point so the two of them have been subjected to some of my ramblings bc i was struck down by divine intervention like last week and have been obsessing a little....

but okay so for me the general vibe is very tangled up w the evans sisters dynamics and just lily in general which is all v ouch. i kinda see them actually as two parts of her life like petunia is a huge part lily’s childhood and mary is a huge part of lily’s time at hogwarts so she’s this presence between them even if she’s not actually there and there’s a lot of like resentment and yearning and jealousy etc etc

like petunia is fighting w herself the whole way through it (nothing i love more than some good old internal conflict) bc she shouldn’t want this!! she’s planned out a nice, perfect, normal life for herself that she’s convinced herself she has to like, she will like it, which doesn’t involve magic or witches or her sister and mary is really putting a spanner in the works and petunia shouldn’t want it, she can’t want it, but there’s just something so magnetic about mary that she can’t quite seem to escape, and it’s like maybe magic can be good?? can be beautiful?? bc mary is so beautiful?? but then also i think mary has complicated thoughts about magic which i’m not gonna get into here lol

but anyway mary is maybe just kinda curious at first i think. like maybe there’s some unrequited marylily so she has a bit of a crush and just wants to find out everything about lily and she has this sister and petunia’s just so interesting and it’s fun to try and get her to laugh at her jokes when she’s obviously trying to completely ignore her and she just finds herself slowly trying to get her attention every time she’s at the evans’ house, like she’s going there to see glimpses of petunia rather than to spend time w lily and she’s suddenly like oh!

and idk they’re just very interesting to me bc as i said resentment longing jealousy and like there’s vernon and dudley and the war and lily’s death and i just. like they really compel me yk??? there’s a lot of complexity there that i just wanna like dig my fingers into

oh! sorry- the name’s james!

he holds out a hand to shake

“Nice to meet you, James. You seem to already know me which is shockingly common around here. Let me guess, are you from a universe where I’m a game character?”

He did shake your hand! He just took it back very quickly.
