Seeing people only use "but some asexuals have sex!!!" and "some aromantics are in romantic relationships!!!" so they can sexualize & ship the little representation we get makes me hope someone explicitly establishes a popular character as sex-repulsed so we can see the shippers get cooked online for it

One of the best things about Disco Elysium by far is that it does not fear ugly women. The world is full of ugly men, but ugly women are so hard to come by.
#I'm not calling the characters ugly btw#i don't believe any one can be ugly#i do not care for beauty standards and thus i don't rank people based on how “ugly” or “pretty” they are#but the characters in DE do not meet the conventional beauty standards and look like actual people with unique faces#and thus would be considered “ugly”#and that is so important to me. i go feral whenever media represents how people look like in real life and not how they look like in the#fictional parallel universe where everyone is a model and where a majority of the movies take place#because irl you don't have to be a model to be desirable#the most attractive man in any video game I've ever played has a receding hairline and a big nose and thick glasses and a small chin#and not only is representing realistic people. just good. in general. but it makes the character of Dolores Dei stand out so much more which#works for the game so well. she's barely human. she's a deity- a myth- a legend. the only version that exists of her now is the one with#glowing lungs. she's perfectly beautiful because she's inhuman. the fact that everybody else looks so human only highlights how inhuman she#has become yk?#if everyone was as conventionally attractive as her then she wouldn't stand out. we wouldn't get why she's so special.#disco elysium#disco elysium analysis#media analysis#beauty standards#this is only one aspect of how this game portrays real people btw. as someone interested in character design this just immediately stood out#to me#the first time i noticed it was when i first met garte and the second time was when i met ruby because neither are conventionally desirable#oh my fucking god the nerds who complain about a woman with a model face having body hair in a video game would perish if they played this#mainstream game/movie studios catering to western masses could never

I’m very confused by the idea that Book 1 Zuko has “dark and sexy” energy tbh.
I’m speaking as an unapologetic Zuko simp btw.
But honestly if you’re above the age of like, 12, and think Book 1 Zuko is dark and intimidating…I’m embarrassed for you. He acts like an overgrown toddler throwing a tantrum and that’s the point. He’s supposed to come off as spoiled and childish. Very unsexy.
And it’s important to the beginning of his character arc too. Book 1 Zuko is naïve, brainwashed by the ideals he was raised with, and has no outlet for his trauma because the idea of what he experienced being abuse is forbidden to him. Questioning the way he was treated by Ozai is treason in his mind. He’s all bark and no bite, angry but doesn’t know what to do with himself, unaware of the realities of the war, and so very young and inexperienced. It’s a brilliant foundation for his character and the man he grows into.

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

playing The Arcana as anyone but Danny (like... myself for instance) kind of takes me out of it because it's like "yeah no six different people would absolutely not be throwing themselves at ONE person who most of them JUST met" but when I look at Danny it's like no i get it i see how people would be throwing themselves at him

I get what you're saying, but you're also reaching a weird fine line situation by implying that disabled people can't be portrayed with big penises.
I fully agree it’s a fine line, and I’m not saying it’s wrong to portray him as such. I’ve portrayed him w a big dick in some of my fics, too, and it’s absolutely okay (and fun) to do so. It’s less about the concept, and more about the execution, I think. It becomes a little strange when his size is a very big focus of the fic and it’s pretty much done in the tone of “who would have thought poor little Viktor had such a shlong!”.

One of my favourite things about being an unapologetic Dottore lover is when I mention him outside of my friend groups; people just automatically assume I’m justifying his actions after saying something mundane like “I want him to be playable.” And you know what? If they’re dumb enough to think that then I’m gonna play them for the fiddle they are

hear me out..
CEO Azul with Independent MC 🤭
He wants to spoil Mc but Mc already spoiling themself, which makes Azul irritated by that and become so pouty Mc won’t let him spoiling them
Mc staring at Azul pouting at them and thinking ‘did i do something wrong— why is he pouting like that..’
He would be so frustrated that he can’t find a weak point in your life to manipulate. You’re financially stable, you have an amiable reputation at his company, and you’re good at avoiding unsavory situations or unwanted harassments from clients or the twins. No matter how hard he tries, be it offering gifts or always doing what he can to make your life easier, you still refuse to let him spoil you. He wants to lavish you in everything you could ever want, but you work for the things you want instead, even though Azul doesn’t mind spending lots of money and time on you. And when he does offer you something he’s bought, you always politely decline. Azul is starting to lose hope. What must he do for you to let him spoil you?! He’s so desperate to know!
