The reason why the Kaveh fan song Writing on the wall is so powerful is that making art is just. Like that. literally cutting your stomach open and pulling out a creation, unwittingly plastering your insecurities on a page for the whole world to see, that everytime you look at it screams back at you that you are not good enough

please don’t by k.will did more for the gays back in 2012 than any boy group can possibly do with fan service and crop tops in 2024
#do young kpoppies know about please don’t by k.will. im serious do they know#I think about it a lot#it’s impossible to replicate the feeling of being gay and watching that mv in the 2010s and just getting bodyslammed by the ending.#like he really just dropped that shit in TWENTY TWELVE#kibumblabs#to this day I think that’s the most explicitly gay mv ive seen in kpop by an established artist#(ie not holland. no shade to him but he kinda built his platform on being an openly gay artist and he’s not a big industry name or anything#which makes the impact significantly different. if that makes sense. anyway.)#like think about any other example. almost all of them can be brushed off as fan service or are at least vague enough to be#up for interpretation#please don’t’s ending is nearly fucking impossible to write off as anything but explicitly gay#no fanservice involved. no vague staring in each other’s eyes. just straight up Oh He’s Not Jealous Of His Friend He’s Jealous Of His#Friend’s Fiancé. oh#like that’s the whole point. interpreting it any other way doesn’t make sense with the impact it’s purposefully supposed to make#like seriously try to say ‘he’s just sad he’s losing his friend to marriage :(‘ or something. you have to be REAL fucking stupid or#deeply in denial to make that argument let alone believe it#anyway. I appreciate this mv a lot#k.will the OG of doomed yaoi in kpop#kill me#closest contender off the top of my head is one more day by sistar#also note I am talking about mvs here not songs in general#cause if I were talking about songs in general. key’s out there pretty much writing about gay sex at this point so I mean#k.will#kpop#only adding actual tags because I want you to watch this mv if you haven’t already

Truly reading fundamental academic literature is a humbling experience of intellectually mining for gold. Yes, past a certain point in academic life you'll feel like a whole lot of it is just dust, and then suddenly the author will hit you with a very enlightening passage that leaves you reeling a bit.
#So this book on the ethics of fiction#I have reached a chapter where he's discussing notions of the self and how those are portrayed in literature#and he elaborates on this tension or opposition between the individualist self and the social self#He's making a relatively detailed analysis of the former in Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man#and it suddenly struck me that one could read Mr. Hale as nuanced criticism of this model#I have eyed before an article that argues that Gaskell's pluralism isn't relativistic in essence#Because her characters that grow all have beliefs they strongly hold onto#but more than that they are very willingly to express and put forward in public debate#whereas Mr Hale's dissension is silent and undefined and in the end he never puts those beliefs forward to challenge others#and thus his real impact in the Milton community is null or close to null#But now I'm also thinking about how Mr. Hale is an stubbornly isolationist character#he gets his doubts alone and won't reach out#he decides to leave Helstone and decides to move to Milton without consulting anyone#he conceives himself as a lonely victim of conscience rather than a champion of it#When his wife dies he decides he's going to stay put and not a thought is spared for Margaret#And somewhere in there there's a contrast with Frederick's conscience struggle#that is at its basis one rooted in justice as it reaches both self and others#and his life post decision is one that as sketchily as it is drawn is one of fruitfulness and engagement with others#vis a vis the sterility of Mr Hale's

pretty old tighnari simplification when he was first announced
Tumblr media
not based on any research or anything, just took his base design, removed some stuff, moved other things around
i'd love to do a redesign and make a video in the style of my noelle redesign, but because of all the cultures that sumeru takes inspiration from, researching and finding references is a lot more challenging— what cultures are in tighnari's actual character? if there's a strong throughline, are the cultural elements used appropriately? or if it's a hot-pot of aesthetics, which ones do i choose to discard and which ones to highlight? not mention the absolute minefield that is google images/pinterest... if you don't know any better (or if you just really don't care about others), you may just have a shoddy aladdin inspired halloween costume as one of your references
anyway i think it's really cool when SWANA artists take the opportunity to rework the sumeru characters with their personal knowledge and connection to their own culture

People really can never be normal about bisexual people lmao. Bisexuals headcanoning a character with an unspecified sexuality as bisexual isnt a homophobic hate crime. Most of these characters will never have their sexuality specified because Genshin Impact isnt a romance game so just stay in your fucking lane and let people have fun.

this might be a hot take... but if you care about disavowing media made by bad people out of fear of looking like a bad person yourself more than you care about actually doing good things... you might have your priorities (and your morals) screwed up a bit :/
(see my tags for more of my thoughts on this topic! please try to avoid making make bad-faith assumptions about what i mean!)
#melonposting#there is a good case for not wanting to associate with something on account of the creator being harmful. sure whatever#but people have talked at length about the sort of moral ocd that it promotes when that idea is fervently preached and enforced#i don't know about you but i think there's a big difference between#a) not wanting people to associate with something because the media itself spouts harmful rhetoric#and because its bigoted creator both benefits from people engaging with the books and is idolized by many of the books' fans#and b) not wanting people to vocally enjoy ANYTHING made by ANYONE who's held any harmful ideology at any point#because doing so 'inherently' supports and spreads those harmful ideologies#it's true that you cannot separate the art from the artist#but good people can make bad art and bad people can make good art. artistic talent is not inherently correlated with the artist's morals#the goodness/badness of a person CAN seep into the art they make. and it often does. and that can affect one's enjoyment of it#but even then there's nuance to be had on how to deal with it#like my hero academia for example. when i started watching it in middle school i didn't know how misogynistic it would be#of course i ended up seeing it in the show (and god it's so misogynistic)#and i ended up learning that the 'joke' sexual-harasser character is a self-insert for the creator#which of course i could never get behind. the creator is undeniably a horrible guy#at the same time though the show means a lot to me and i've gained a lot from watching it#i won't elaborate here on how but believe me it isn't superficial. if you want to ask me about it i'd be happy to share#i can hold both in my mind. the disgust and the enjoyment. i don't think those have to be mutually exclusive#of course not everyone is like that; you could immediately stop liking the show on discovering the gross stuff. and that's your prerogative#i don't know... i agree with the values behind avoiding media made by people known to have moral failings#and in some cases (like harry potter and jkr) i fully endorse the values and the practice. but such cases are very specific#but in most cases i fear the practice is misguided and unnuanced and ultimately unhelpful in fulfilling one's values#it is largely a philosophical matter: about how an individual regards their moral standing in the context of themselves and other people#which is important to discuss - especially in our globalized internet age! speaking of which feel free to disagree with me#if you want to have a civil discussion i'm more than open to it#but no matter how important this matter... there are way more important ones in the world. especially right now#calling out people who watch a youtuber who said something bigoted 5 years ago does little to stop that bigotry overall#just have good morals and practice them! support oppressed people! be thoughtful and understanding and compassionate!#callouts and dni lists rarely make for impactful advocacy!!!
