I am so glad that no matter how many times I try I can never feel the dreaded conditioned taste aversion for lemon. And hopefully celery

Thinking about my 13-year-old self and how their most primal desires for the future were just "live in a big city" and "somehow remove breasts and uterus" and no matter how chaotic everything else is at the moment, I have done those things. I got out of Vermont and I got out of the body that imprisoned me and it is demonstrably not nothing.

Men's Redo, Part 2

[certifiedlurker]

"No we are not saying that teenagers are not vulnerable to being taken advantage of- we are just saying that people who hone in on Ellen's "I was just a child" are stupid, because that does not mean Ellen was a literal child, she might at best have been a teenager when she had her first sexual encounter with Orlok-no it isn't weird at all to push this point whenever a discussion of CSA is brought up, rather people not JUST focusing on it as a metaphor for sexual awakening lack media literacy because they are taking Ellen's protests against Orlok too literally- no there is no irony in this, even though we are discussing a character who famously gets frustrated in the movie because no one deigns to listen to what she is saying-no it is stupid to read into Orlok's you awakened me enchantress, you are my affliction to Ellen ( who previously just said that she had been a child) and not draw any uncomfortable conclusions about victim blaming-no it is not at all dangerous to imply that abuse always exists in exclusion to desire and romance."

There's this running theme of people wanting to kiss Tavros when he's not feeling it/ people forcing him to kiss them when he doesn't or can't consent (and yes I include the Terei corpsesmooch example - I'm fully aware he's dead and she's not doing that because she wants to, but it fits the theme). And part of this is tied to his inability to stand up for himself around certain people, but it's also interesting (not nice!! but interesting!) as this is a situation that a) you might usually see happening to a female character, but obviously coercion of this sort happens to boys and others too and b) happens to disabled people - which Tav is.

Good. In. All. Areas.

Literally two of the worst days ever. No sleep. Shaking with stress. Eating shit and working from 5am to 2am. My faculty. Fuckin'. Smashed it. Yes.

YES!

Ninjago writers if they weren’t cowards /j (I haven’t seen the Russian dub so IDK if she’s there, I’ll go nuts if she is though)

Also after drawing Sora I finally understand they hype around her design (I drew most of this two weeks ago lol I just didn’t finish it until tonight)

the story doesn't care that your heart got broken yesterday, or that you nicked your thumb while chopping the onions today. it doesn't care for the medals you received in 5th grade and it doesn't care for the raise that you keep trying for. the story just asks to be read, and you are its most beloved being for the fact of having read it.

kiryuu sibling stasis post-32 is so interesting to me. nanami tries to leave and is (temporarily but also, crucially, violently) prevented from doing so by touga and akio. after this experience she puts distance between herself and them: she leaves touga’s phone in the car, she resigns from the student council (though she dons her old uniform still), she repeatedly dismisses and undermines the authority of the rose code, of end of the world, of akio, of touga. but she’s still in ohtori, isn’t she? uncomfortable with the idea of leaving, uncertain if it’s really possible. she tried before, and it hurt her. deeply. it’s so interesting to me, nanami’s agency and how she limits her exertion of it after 32, when she realises it for what it is. contrast that with touga, who accepts this weird stalemate between them, who is, really, uninterested in having any relationship of any kind with nanami if he can’t gain something from her. he’s very passive with her after 32, compared to the passivity he’d always feigned towards her before in order to stoke reactions from her and then exploit them. i was thinking about how touga has always been able to sever his relationship with nanami, but chosen not to; first out of a sense of obligation (‘we should live to help each other’) then a realisation of how that could be exploited. i was thinking about how nanami has never realised her ability to leave, in part because it is limited by touga and the harm he does her. i was thinking about the desperation and confusion akio calls out to anthy with as she leaves. i was thinking about how different that is to the kiryuus’ strange semi-breakdown; touga doesn’t want or need nanami, and nanami might love her brother but she cannot trust him or feel safe around him, doesn’t want to see him anymore; she’s itching to leave, and just a little scared (you know, because last time she tried that her brother assaulted her), and he’s not doing anything because ignoring her means he doesn’t have to deal with the emotions of her leaving or staying. something something gendered power dynamics something something tragic siblings
