A rose must remain with the sun and the rain

Or its lovely promise won't come true

To each his own, to each his own

And my own is you

What good is a song if the words just don't belong?

And a dream must be a dream for two

No good alone, to each his own

For me there's you

If a flame is to grow there must be a glow

To open each door there's a key

I need you, I know, I can't let you go

Your touch means too much to me

Two lips must insist on two more to be kissed

Or they'll never know what love can do

To each his own, I've found my own

One and only you

One and only you

IMMATERIAL GIRLS (ANYHOW, ANY PLACE) ft. @magbay's johanna

[charlie-rulerofhell]

Lord of the Lost being absolute kings and staying true to their word 🏳️‍🌈

"Yes, I am thankful for living in a country that – other than many other countries in this world – is able to socially catch me and others. With heavy limitations of course, we could now talk in lengths about our health care system or Hartz 4 [German unemployment benefits] for example. I am not someone who will step forward and say 'Fuck the system!', because I know that without this system many here would be lost, me very likely included. At the same time, you won't see me going to ESC with a German flag, swollen with pride. And I would also refuse to run around with a German flag there if anyone were to demand me to do so. I rather hold and will vindicate the mindset that, of course, we will inevitably compete for Germany, because we are from Germany, and the concept of the ESC is to have countries vote for other countries, and somewhere you have to draw lines at such a competition. But these lines, these borders, are man-made, which is why I say that I rather want to compete for those people that are into this kind of music and who were missing – broadly speaking – alternative music at the ESC. That is how I feel about it."

The people complaining abt the pride cape on the graham plushie, when theyre not just being outwardly homophobic, are saying its not part of his design in-game so it shouldn’t be there

The pride flag is a symbol for the rights we’ve fought for because, idk if you knew this, but members of the lgbt community have been uh. Murdered? Outlawed? Hate crimed? Theyre oppressed? Idk if you knew that lol

Pride flags are not just a silly thing, they represent years of fighting for our rights, to not be scrutinized. And just because we can legally get married in the U.S doesnt suddenly erase all the, still, very rampant homophobia in the world. Please dont forget it still very much exists.

With pride month coming up and the flint/graham plushies being released around the same time, the flag comes with the plushies to celebrate said pride month. This is because Flint and Graham are a canon gay couple, and even if it’s not “part of their design” or “what the game is about”, it’s still a part of their characters. And trying to erase canon LGBT representation just because it’s “not what the game is about” can very easily come across as homophobic. Your focus is in the wrong place if your biggest concern is “its not design accurate” ESPECIALLY when you can remove the cape.

And its not even an argument because everything else is still design accurate. Its still graham. Its still flint. The plushies coming with REMOVABLE pride capes doesnt suddenly erase that.

I’m really tired of homophobia being disguised as some polite disagreement. You should not see a pride flag and immediately have an issue. You can say your concern is that it’s not design or game accurate, but it’s a canon part of their characters. It’s not taking away from their designs or the game, it’s representing a part of the characters. A part of their characters that is important to acknowledge as pride month approaches.

Remember why pride exists. Remember what pride flags actually represent. As much as its fun to celebrate how far we’ve come, never forget where we came from and how hard we had to fight, and STILL have to fight to be treated equally.

or as @apricotlipped puts it:

zhongli, punching a hole into the side of the mountain: it's free real estate

everyone pls read on fulfilment: where zhongli and childe go on the run some years after the post-liyue quest and has almost everything i've ever wanted to see in a zhongchi fic of all time like so:

Zhongli says, “I’m not a god anymore.” “Aren’t you?” Childe asks. “You take away a gnosis, but the earth underneath us is still yours. You summon meteors from the sky. All the adepti in Liyue answer to you.”  “You’re right,” says Zhongli.  “It doesn’t matter if you are or are not,” Childe says. He looks away to the towers down below, the ruins that Zhongli sealed, excavated from rivers of water. “I just know I want to be here.”  They sit in silence for a while, the sunlight heavy.  

[spurgie-cousin]

Save me spurgie. Ppl on reddit are really comparing Sam and Bri courtship to fucking R. KELLY

I had to take a 48 hour break from Rod reddit because they were just making me feel insane lmao. I saw this ask just now so I went to see what they were up to, and the original commenter of the "Brianne is a manipulative witch who made a plan to trick Sam into marrying her" went through that entire thread and responded to ALL of my comments 😭😭😭 most of the responses were links to a video that is supposedly Brianne on a homophobe rant

And whether it actually is her or not I don't even give a shit because of course Brianne is homophobic, only someone who hasn't even done a Google search of these people would think it's possible for ANY of them to be allies lmao. And it was really clear that's not what I was talking about. Brianne being another skirt wearing bigot is a given, what I was talking about was the literal fan fiction this person wrote about Brianne tracking the rodrigues family down, singling out Samuel as her target, moving to a place just to put herself in HIS way (where he doesn't even live btw) etc it's just weirdo fucking nonsense to say without proof I'm sorry.

Anyway yea Rod redditors are bizarre and exhausting, and some of the ppl in this thread in particular are making r/FSU look like a rational and kind place ffs.

[rolandkaros]

i've seen a lot of people mention how dorohedoro explores class through its magic system, but i really think dorohedoro could be interpreted as a very thorough exploration of capitalism and how it affects basically every single aspect of society. (spoilers through the end of the manga under the cut.)

in dorohedoro, capitalism is artificially created through chidaruma's meddling. in creating the sorcerers and allowing them to mistreat humans, chidaruma creates 'capitalism' (aka class inequality, leading to class struggle) in dorohedoro's world. this eventually leads to the creation of hole as an entity, representing the personification of class struggle.

smoke, defined by personality and determining someone's abilities, is a form of capital, both a type of currency and a status symbol. not only is a sorcerer's position determined by how much smoke they can create, but the actual function and 'usefulness' (aka 'power') of the smoke is important as well. those without smoke - both humans and weak sorcerers - are opressed.

there are also powerful sorcerers w certain 'unique' abilities like risu and natsuki who cannot conform to these normative expectations due to the nature of their magic, showing that regardless of how 'powerful' an individual actually is, their performance and adherence to norms is what's considered most important; since they cannot conform, then they are considered failures.

en represents success in capitalism; he is a powerful sorcerer, with a useful ability at a high level of mastery, and he can produce a ton of smoke. not only that, but he literally runs a mega corporation! there are jokes throughout the manga of en's unethical and exploitative practices.

but just because he himself is successful and runs a successful business, doesn't mean that any of 'his family' - and by extension en himself - are 'safe' from the dangers of capitalism; he is simply in less immediate danger than everyone else!

en is revived - allowing the rest of the family to survive - because of fujita, ebisu, and sho: the three family members most frequently deemed 'weak' or 'useless.' sho's magic enables fujita to retrieve en's devil tumor for revival, and sho saves the rest of the family from being dissolved by hole. fujita's 'meek loser' demeanor is what allows him to effectively spy on the cross-eyes, retrieve the devil tumor, and negotiate with tetsujo. ebisu's relationship w kikurage and quick thinking allows her to to enlist dokuga's help to transport en's corpse, completing the revival plotline. and this is not to diminish everyone else's contributions, but to note that especially fujita and ebisu are able to help save the family because of the skills they have developed outisde of magic to survive in a world that does not value them. en's, the family's, and capitalism's survival is reliant on those they deem 'useless'; capitalism's survival is reliant on the labor of marginalized and exploited workers.

dorohedoro's cast is filled with characters who are outcasts and don't 'fit in' with societal expectations, and as the story continues, relationships between humans, sorcerers, and those 'in-between' become even more prominent. despite everything - the hardships, the resentment, the difficult histories everyone has - dorohedoro goes out of its way to consistently affirm friendship and solidarity between sorcerers and humans, regardless of the expectations that society has for them and the roles they're 'expected' to play.

dorohedoro does not have an ending that 'solves inequality' - massive social change can't happen overnight. dorehedoro DOES have a hopeful ending, though. it reaffirms that progress is possible. that in a chaotic, unpredictable, unfair world, there is still peace, friendship, and gyoza - we just need to find it and work for it together.

At first, I thought the Tomura flashback was from the PLF or something (like in between the PLF announcement and Tomura being put in the tank)

But now I’m wondering, what if that flashback is from when Spinner and Tomura met? What if this is Spinner being introduced to Tomura and having his Villain Interview or whatever, and he mentioned he played video games. Something like:

“I haven’t got much Villain experience. I’ve killed some people, but that’s it. The only thing I’ve been doing up until I left my house was play video games.”

“What kind of video games?”

“Uh, League of Legends, stuff like that.”

Tomura:

Plus it fits with what Tomura is wearing. To me, that looks like the shirt he used to wear in the bar
