#but that's also the implication to me that like

[astercontrol]

this kind of multiverse situation is utterly fascinating to me

because it never seems to address what exactly defines "me" (or whichever character this is)

the never-explored but enormous implication

that an alternate universe can contain a creature that is 100% different from me in both genetics and lived experience... born under entirely different circumstances, from entities who were not, in any possible way, recognizable as my parents (and so on for many generations back)

and yet, some natural law of the multiverse, somehow, acts as absolute authority to confirm, "yes, this creature is A Version Of You."

by what metric? the ineffable word of some multi-universal God, inherently beyond my comprehension?

why should I trust it? am I simply forced to, because it's the most powerful entity expressing an opinion on this?

can I not define my own identity for myself? can these other supposed equivalents of me not also self-identify as they wish? why do we simply accept it without question?

is it an allegory for, like... everything in this world

probably

imagine if you teleported to a big multiversal hub of every version of you from every parallel universe and like 99.99% were just minor variations of some weird beetle alien and it turned out being a human made you one of the zany gimmick versions

[12.44] nerd!seonghwa × popular!reader (m)

⇀ you just can't help but help the inexperienced nerd explore himself

⇁ i'm just indulging my impulses at this point

genre : smut

warning : mdni explicit smut, dirty talk, (y/n) being condescending, unprotected sex (no latex no go), semi-public sex ?? (kinda dry humping and handjob in the hallway), kinda subbish seonghwa?, inexperienced!seonghwa (not a virgin), implication of cumming inside (mentioned)

wc : 0.8 k (on the dot !!)

buy me coffee ?

It was absolutely adorable how Seonghwa was moaning like a needy little bitch into your mouth, absolutely devouring the fact that the hot, popular girl was giving him all the attention while the jocks stood by the corner, glaring at him with jealousy when you pulled him into a less crowded hallway on the second floor.

His moan got louder when you pulled his hair, effectively detaching his delectable lips off of you, making you regret it slightly because you began to miss its pillowy softness. "Mm, do you like that, big boy? Do you like your hair being pulled by me?" you purred cockily, feeling your pussy clench at the sight of his eyes rolling to the back while his cock was pressed directly into your core, pressing, prodding, as if begging for permission to enter you. As if you won't give it to him in the first place.

"Yes, yes, oh fuck, yes," Seonghwa whimpered. The raspiness of his voice paired with the flush of his skin and the position you two were in was enough to get you all riled up. Needy inexperienced nerds were always your favourite but Park Seonghwa was different. You might be addicted to him.

Slipping your hand into his pants and past his underwear, you could feel his slick erection, twitching in your hand. You couldn't help the smirk that grew on your face, amused. As you started stroking him, Seonghwa's neck went slack and his face dropped to your shoulder, his hips rolled against your hand as if trying to get more from you desperately. "Aww, poor baby. So desperate, so pliant," you mockingly taunted, "I'm gonna fucking wreck you tonight."

Almost immediately, Seonghwa felt his cock get harder and he whimpered out a needy moan, "Yes, yes, yes, please." "Do you want me to show you things your virgin cock was created for?" Seonghwa's breath hitched when you swiped your thumb on his tip, "I-I- I'm n-not a virgin," he swallowed. Though it was embarrassing for Seonghwa to have to clarify himself like that, for some reason Seonghwa was more... entranced by you for putting him in such a position, he wanted more and not just to prove himself to you, but also to please you. You clicked your tongue at him, wordlessly dismissing his statement, "Trust me, baby boy, your past experience was nothing. You were and always have been a virgin until I fuck you," quickly, you slipped your hand out of his pants to cup his face, bringing him so close that your lips were practically touching, "You're mine from now on."

Seonghwa's body tensed and thought you were no longer stimulating him, Seonghwa found himself cumming in his pants. Thanks to your bodies being pressed up together, you could feel the warmth of his cum spreading on his crotch.

While Seonghwa's eyes immediately drop due to embarrassment, yours lit up like a Christmas tree. "Oh sweetie, did your virgin cock give out on you?" you taunted. This time, Seonghwa was damn near crying from holding himself back. The image you have been drawing for him was almost too much and he had a feeling that the reality of your skill would send him to an early grave.

With slightly trembling hands, Seonghwa reached his hands out to your chest and groped your tits, almost clumsily, "I told you I'm not a virgin," he huffed, trying to look angry but you know he's anything but. "Mhm, doesn't matter anyways because now I'm going to fuck you," you smirked.

Excitedly, Seonghwa nodded, "Yes, please, let's get out of here," he whimpered. You raised an eyebrow at him, "Get out? Honey, there are empty bedrooms here," smirking, you began pulling him into one, "Don't tell me you're embarrassed to be seen with me?" you pouted, detaching yourself once you got inside the room.

Almost frantically, Seonghwa rushed forward and crashed both of your bodies onto the bed, completely forgetting about the door. "No, no, no, of course not! I- I just..." he looked away bashfully, "I just don't want to make a mess in someone else's bed." You had to bite your bottom lip to prevent a squeal from coming out because you just couldn't stand how adorable he was. "Well, we'd just have to be considerate and not make a mess now, won't we?" You suggested as your hands slowly worked to get Seonghwa out of his clothing; from his star wars hoodie to his undershirt, then down to his sweatpants, freeing his cock for you to ogle at. "H-how are we going to do that?" Seonghwa asked with his voice almost cracking due to the effect of your touches.

In one swift move, you flipped him over and smirked, "You're just gonna have to cum inside me."

OH NOW?

The dramatics of it all happening right away skipped over me for a moment but oh boy here we go. They’re being reincarnated NOW. 

And oh my goodness Syaoran’s little panic (mirrored in Sakura’s face) over the details - and Yuuko interrupting him to reassure him that it’s genuinely the best case scenario with no tricks or complications. (And honestly how often has she ever gotten to say that?) 

The little touch of the magic circles matching the person who gave up their life to make it happen is also very nice. I enjoy that. 

Also I think I mentioned Wish a little while ago and with that fresh in my mind it really feels like this is the much bigger version of what happened in that manga too. Tsubasa really was CLAMP's way of taking all the ideas they really wanted to properly explore and do them all and it works. 

[last0bread]

So cool that you know!! I'd love to take a class /gen

However, would he even be Sisyphus if he wasn't so self absorbed? I kind of gathered that it was his whole thing; in the way that he lacks even the empathy to care for how he impacts others so long as he gets his way, which eventually is exactly what he got (lol i love that bit).

The way I interpreted your implication is that if he reached out, he wouldn't have continued his terrible plots, and I love the idea of rehabilitating a formerly condemned character and i do believe we need to hold more space for that in the real world, but to do that, doesn't the individual need at the very least to even see their own fault and want the change?

I'm not a scholar in the topic so please correct me if I've been so heavily mistaken this whole time, but to all I've learnt thus far, Sisyphus simply lacked any of those requirements for redemption, becoming essentially an early example of a villain with antisocial personality disorder.

If your point is just that he wouldn't have done that if he was more community minded, then sure, I agree ! But I also think that at that point, it changes the story on such a fundamental level that it'd be a whole different thing - at that point I feel like there's gotta be other, better examples that could've been used, especially considering how many people arent familiar with that background for the story. (unless thats like the thing for your whole blog in which case, ignore that bit cause your post came to me by chance, didnt know/look deeper, my bad /nm /gen)

listen to me. listen. your actual job in life, and it sucks that your 5th grader teacher didnt explain this adequately enough, is to ask for help when you need it and to accept charity when it would take a weight from your shoulders. Otherwise you end up like Sisyphus- or even worse, Walter White

[oceanwithouthermoon]

okay i think part of why people hate teruhashi and saikis dynamic and falsify reasons why they dont like each other at all is that they CAN tell that theres romance implied between them and so they take that and go "well i dont like the ship therefore theres nothing good about this dynamic and they shouldnt even interact" or something

but you guys dont get it... people who are in love can be friends... they can have friendships... you can be friends with someone youre in love with, you can STAY friends with someone youre in love with, you can be friends and ONLY friends with someone youre in love with FOREVER...

its also cool if you dont interpret them as implied romantic but if you dont then you still have to acknowledge that they ARE friends. theyre friends and they care about each other and you cant stop that.

Any musing and analysis of the Medicine Seller in Ayakashi's Bake Neko vs. Mononoke 👀?

Well, I think there's a pretty strong implication that the Medicine Seller's personality changed as a result of the events of "Bakeneko." In the series he's a lot less friendly with humans, a lot less interested in saving people, and a lot more emotionally subdued. Given some of the stuff he says and does in "Umi Bozu," I think he was seriously considering giving up the whole mononoke-slaying game for a while there.

He dodges Kayo's response by talking about how he can't possibly slay all the ayakashi in the world, but I'm pretty sure he knew what she meant by "an ayakashi or something." He also says later that he's "still a Medicine Seller," like he's thinking he might not be much longer.

There's no doubt he was powerfully affected by the Bakeneko. He said so himself.

There's a reason the final arc is another "Bakeneko" with the cast being reincarnated versions of the people in the first one. I think he needed to find that second Bakeneko and put it to rest before he could move on.

What interests me most these days is how much more similar he is in "Bakeneko" to the second Medicine Seller in Karakasa. They're both more expressive, more invested in people. It makes me wonder if all Medicine Sellers are "born" with similar personalities, with those personalities becoming more individual in response to the people and circumstances they encounter. In that case, maybe the second Medicine Seller would have become very similar to the first if he'd ended up in the same circumstances. I'm interested to see how his personality will develop as he encounters the second mononoke in the movies, and the third.

Since all Medicine Sellers come from Shuuga, which is similar to a "collective unconscious" and exists outside of time and space, maybe the Medicine Sellers aren't even individuals until they're among humans. Maybe it's being among humans that makes them individuals, and then their original natures come to reflect the natures of the people they encounter. In that sense, any Medicine Seller could easily become any other Medicine Seller, if placed in the right set of circumstances.

So maybe the Medicine Seller in "Bakeneko" could be seen as a link between his original nature and who he is in the series. He's in a state of "unbecoming" whoever—or whatever—he was before and becoming who he will be next: the kind of Medicine Seller the world needs next, the one who can take out the Zashiki Warashi, the Umi Bozu, the Nopperabou, the Nue, and finally the second Bakeneko.

It honestly isn't that big of a deal but I tend to overexamine why certain things bother me more than usual because most things don't bother me. Again, isn't that big deal and sending anything to that person is wrong.

Mostly writing this out to get it out of my mind but I think what bothered me about the post is the implication that what I was saying was useless or pointless in that not many people buy diamonds (which i agree) but what i had intended was informing people about the relationship between Israel and the diamond business which truthfully i didn't really expand on. So for me it seemed like people were ignoring the exploitation aspect that I was (poorly) highlighting in my post. Which explains the original discomfort I had. It felt like what was being said was "this is useless information to most people" which annoyed me. Originally when I got annoyed I thought it was because of the boycotting thing but I really honestly don't care if you think its useless or out of touch for me to mention it. It might be naive but if even one person avoids buying natural diamonds it's worth it.

But when I looked at the actual post and saw the tags there were a couple that really were either rude or untrue... like "I'm also boycotting israeli weapons" as a "joke" which shows the lack of understanding for bds (divestment aspect) but for people who have a home and a job in the states and many other countries you are contributing to funding weapons manufacturing (and this includes me). Also I dislike jokes about israeli weapons generally. This is unrelated to the original post but something on top of it that annoyed me and I found distasteful.

The uae gold thing seemed logical to me though for reasons I already mentioned before.

[blkkizzat]

tw: discourse, plagiarism, drama, etc. im a bit snarky here but i reserve that right. the truth could never be a diss.

I hate that it had to come to this as I have had this blog since Aug 2023 without ever having to do something like this. But being gaslit and when people start blatantly playing in my face like I’m stupid is where I draw the line. I will not tolerate any kind of plagiarism with fics I work hard to create for free while working full-time and going to grad school.

Tumblr user @/rissouu has plagiarized my work. Specifically part 3 of Plug!Choso fic (with minor things from the end of part 2) with their brat taming/plug!choso smut drabble. I posted p3 of my fic on 7/3/24 they posted their drabble on 1/1/25 [screenshots below].

Note: This is not a direct word for word copy, but heavy detailed inspiration including dialogue, actions, reactions, sexual situations, etc. It’s been said to me by many other people I have consulted to get their opinions, that it reads like a watered down, condensed, version of my smut scene —and I would have to wholeheartedly agree.

(more details below)

Now to be clear: I do NOT own any concept. I hope I can effectively convey in this post I am NOT doing all this because someone wrote plug!choso or brat taming!choso and combined them. There has been plenty of both, even combined, well before I even wrote my fic and has been in the months after, none of them have been anything like my fic. Also these have BEEN my sentiments as I expressed this months ago when I kept getting TNMN concept asks/dms after my fics:

Not to mention I give tutorials and share methods of how to do my graphics, formatting fics, writing tips, etc as I believe in knowledge and information sharing. I haven’t ever played gatekeeper on a single thing. 

Sidenote: 98% of the people who have ever tagged me as inspo credit per my statement above didn't even need to do so. But I appreciate they did. It shows their character and integrity that they would even consider doing so when its not 100% needed nor expected, so thank you!

the drabble @/rissouu posted is on the far left column and specific excerpts from my plug!choso fic are in boxes in the middle and to the right. Each box on the drabble is color-coded and connected to corresponding boxes with my excerpts. Every single paragraph connects to my fic: 

Now, the crazy thing here is @/rissouu even tags this drabble #plug!choso as the first tag. Yet there is not one mention of drugs or plugs or even a damn ibuprofen anywhere lmfao. When confronted on this they said—

"it's strictly to give that kind of aggressive/dominant or stoner man vibes, so i don't care as much to input it into the writing itself. me tagging it as 'plug choso' [...] is simply to reach out to my audiences who like the concept of plug!choso. i do this mostly for my girlies of color who i try to reach out to more because it's what they request and like." [full convo screens at the very bottom]

Now, I'm ignoring the problematic implications that only poc girls would like or write plugs, so I'm gonna table that and y'all can make what you want of it. What I want to focus on is this weakass excuse. It's the fact that writing a plug/drug dealer fics does not make that character automatically aggressive or outwardly stoner. There's infinite ways to write a single concept [and as someone who has actually done alot of party drugs and had many dealers living in nyc before, the best dealers are the ones who don't look or act like ones!]. So it's mind boggling a writer would explicitly tag a concept because they were too lazy to actually write it in the fic. Then assumes everyone will interpret it the exact same way and get their meaning from the tag of a generic concept and not their actual story lol 😭. Insanity.

100% transparency, I thought the fic was rip way before I even got to the bottom to see the plug!choso tag. The tag just confirmed it more for me.

Now even with ALL this, I still likely wouldn’t have brought it to the TL. Even though I think it’s clear she took inspo from me and is straight lying through her teeth, I could have let it go. However the next thing @/rissouu did was so insane and shameless, I can't let it go. Like personal creativity and imagination in the trenches but plenty of audacity to spare. This is just a slap in the face.

So the timeline (pst) goes like this:

@6:20pm @/rissouu replies a few times, she explicitly says she will read my chapter to see if there are any similarities. [full convo screens at the bottom]

@7:06pm I posted rm!choso and babydaddy!toji who reader has a baby girl with but they broke up.

@8:59pm @/rissouu posts babydaddy!Choso who reader has a baby girl by but they broke up and takes ANOTHER part of dialogue/reaction from p3 of plug!choso.

Is this real life?

I know if someone accused me of plagiarizing them and I told them I would read their work to check… I wouldn’t in less than 3 hours later post a drabble with one of the same concepts from a fic they just posted 2 hrs ago, and then turn around use the more dialogue/reactions from the other fic they just accused me of stealing from, that I just told them I was going to read!! And I for damn sure wouldn’t have claimed to have just “pulled this outta my ass” !?!? Like @/rissouu really said, fuck all of what kali saying and her artistic integrity with this post loud and clear lmfaooo.

Sorry but *in remy ma voice* b*tch is you DUMB!? Like I know I'm cracking jokes right now, but this situation is so ridiculous it’s gotta be a joke, so I’m treating it like one. They clownin’ with the whole damn circus cause wtf is this 😭😭?? 

You know what else is circus behavior? This disclaimer: 

Lol… so consequences for everyone else but you girl? Okay lmfao. Like such aggressive disclaimers for someone doing exactly that.

Ironic though that all 3 times I have had to confront someone about plagiarism/inspo (in dms) in the past couple months I have been gaslit in the exact same ways.

Their first defense is always “this is a common concept” —Sure, but it shouldn’t be executed in the exact same way, so closely to my fic that's why I'm speaking up.

Their second defense is always, “oh I have written this [topic, headcanon, dialogue] before.” Great. I’m not speaking of those prior times, I’m ONLY concerned that 100% of their current drabble mirrors my fic. They could have written 50 drabbles on this topic/concept, there's no reason any of them should so closely mirror mine.

Finally, the third thing is (after proof is given): “well you don’t own the use of these details or these words. so I didn't copy!” No, I don’t own the individual words or phrases or actions. What I DO own is how those individual words, phrases or actions come together in the fic I wrote. The fic that @/rissouu mirrored and diluted. 

One more thing before screenshots of the full convo. You can see on the very first one below that I had been following @/rissouu for 11 months lol, so since 1 month after they created their account. Granted, I don’t think we’ve interacted much at all as I do follow lots of people but I try to spend most of my free time writing or interacting with commenters, anons, closer moots or those who reach out to me. But I know for a fact i've seen them in my notifications before liking things, even in the last week and I honestly thought they followed me at one point lol. That's one of the reasons I was shocked to discover this. So the fact they would try to say they never heard of me or my story or seen my fics ever is looney tunes fr. Not to mention plug!choso is probably the fic people have recco'd the most from me. None of that is important to me though, so I don’t really care about anything but the facts that she took heavy inspo from me and is refusing to even acknowledge that it's pretty weird/odd/uncommon considering how similar they are. (sorry i would have taken screenshots of notifications but i barely got the chat before it disappears after two ppl block each other)

screenshots of our convo here:

As you can see, they apparently think i'm casper. they refuse to acknowledge they know me, or take it down, or give me credit and has me blocked now, so here we are.

Lastly... no one under any circumstances should be harassing or sending anyone hate! If you don’t like what they did, unfollow/block. If you don’t like what I am doing now or don’t agree, unfollow/block. I won't be offended if you do, if you don't like me , you don't like me. Please curate your own experiences.

Also, may choose to answer clarifying questions about this in public asks or comments but I reserve the right not to (even if you are in support of me). Honestly this is all so mentally draining and taking away from the things I actually want to do with my blog and I always feel really bad when I miss responding to comments people leave on my stories/works. So I will likely mute notifications on this. Like I could have been actually writing the many fics in my backlog last night or answering the very sweet or slutty asks in my inbox instead of writing this. I've always tried to keep my blog a pretty positive, goofy, unserious, slutty and drama-free place and I won't let this change that.

Additionally, no overly hateful/bashing comments towards me or @/rissouu will be answered/tolerated. If tumblr had an option to turn off comments on individual posts, I would for this one. I'm not going to waste time justifying something that is clear as day to me and many others. If anyone wants to play Stevie Wonder too, go for it! Nor do I want to waste energy bashing someone and beating a dead horse. I know what they did, they know what they did. @/rissouu wants to steal, lie and play games? Let them do it on their own, I guess. Clout is a helluva drug and I suppose my Plug!Choso was the best dealer for that but call me Desiree Perez cause imma snitch!

I'd prefer anyone really wanting to talk with me about this further and has something to say —good or bad, DM me.

Let's never defend Fortiche ever again.

Vi is a "foil character" to Caitlyn, implying that they used Vi to contrast with Caitlyn. Saying that Vi is the one with the "violent ways"... Excuse me, did we miss the part where Caitlyn beats up Vi? The part where Caitlyn is an evil Fascist? The part where she literally implemented martial law? The part where she commits police brutality too?

The "fateful meeting" was Vi rotting in prison and the writers forcing them together and Caitlyn was the one that "pushed them apart" with the back of her gun to Vi's stomach.

"Nobody is there"? Ekko? Jinx?

Jinx is only angry at Caitlyn, NOT Vi. She loves Vi, she was the one saving Vi TWICE, Caitlyn never looked for Vi. She is angry that Vi chose to be with Caitlyn.

Also what love???? Where is the love you talk about so much? Show it to me. Caitlyn never gave Vi any love. LUST ISN'T LOVE. An intimate scene means nothing.

Caitlyn slept with Maddie and Maddie was by Caitlyn's side during her invasion, just like Vi. Does that mean that Caitlyn loves Maddie than? Bacuse that's the implication here. Caitlyn did the same things to Maddie and Vi. But Vi is special to Caitlyn because they said so, I guess.

If they intended to make Caitlyn a delicate, perfect, innocent person...than they did a terrible job. Because Caitlyn is the most abusive and aggressive person in the show, who never showed care or affection towards Vi.

Vi was only allowed in Caitlyn's house/life when Caitlyn needed Vi for something. When she was done using Vi, she was discarded. Vi did A LOT of bad things, but saying that she is the aggressive foil character to Caitlyn?

Get out of my house. Now!

[bigcitymac]

bc i'm incapable of not thinking about incredibly arbitrary things: here's how i headcanon the gang's ages/birthdates. i can’t remember any specifics about if birthdays have been mentioned, so this is me and dr. google doing some guessing together.

CHARLIE

Charlie is the oldest (when he thinks Frank might be his dad, he tells Dennis and Dee that he’s their ‘big bro’, implication obviously being that he is older than them). According to the internet, he’s a 1976 baby. To me, his birthday is on or before the first of September, 1976, putting him a grade above the rest of them (because the cut off is ‘age 5 on or before September 1st’). I don’t know if they flunk kids in kindergarten, but assumedly some time around 1st grade, he got held back, subsequently landing in the same grade as the rest of them.

2 & 3. DEE AND DENNIS

Following this logic, Dee and Dennis are also born in 1976 (because they are younger than Charlie). I like them being born somewhere between September and December, 1976, putting them a grade below Charlie (until he is held back). We also know that Dee was born 3 minutes before Dennis. 

4. MAC

And unforch, I am a sucker for baby Mac and I think being the youngest would give him a complex which is entertaining to me. He is in the same grade as the rest of them, but born in the summer of 1977 (but before September 1st), which makes him like, a full calendar year younger than Charlie, and nearly a year younger than Dee and Dennis. But, he would've been with Charlie in school at the start of whatever school year Charlie got held back in.

So, the official age order (as far as I am concerned) is: Charlie (btwn. Jan-Aug 31st, 1976), Dee (btwn. Sept-Dec 1976), Dennis (3 minutes after Dee), Mac (btwn Jun-Aug 31st, 1977). With all my logic stated above, the gang will all end up in the same grade, and therefore the same graduating class in high school.

If anyone's got some extra tidbits of information abt ages plz feel free to lmk :)

'Ati was once a kind and generous man, and you saw what became of him.'

Just one line from an epigraph of Way of Kings that isn't really related to the main narrative at the time that lives rent free in my head.

This line made Ati one of my favourite Vessels, if not my favourite. Ruin in Mistborn has always been far more intimidating that Odium (the god of literal Hatred) for me. Then we learn that this being was once the total opposite and, if he were ever free of Ruin's influence or 'Intent' would be distraught that he had become something that he loathed. The tragedy of Ati just in the background of the cosmere meta story just makes me feel so sorry for him and love him. I just know Brando is going to make the eventual origin story for the Vessels so tragic.

But two things:

First, his characterisation of Ati is quite inconsistent. In one WoB he implies Ati is quite weak and unable to resist Ruin's destructive impulses, which is in line with what we see in Mistborn. He pretends to be compassionate, but he's sadistic and revels in the destruction he creates. But later, Brandon says Ati actually forced Ruin's Intent into a safer version of 'Entropy', indicating he was strong-willed. Problem is Ati talks about being a version of Entropy, but he's laughing ecstatically at the planetary destruction he's causing (horrific, but also wonderfully hammy and why wouldn't you?) and causing people to horrifically murder each other. That doesn't say Entropy to me, that's scarier than Odium. So which is it, Brando?

Second, I've always wanted to see Ruin go head to head with Odium and I didn't like WaT's implication Ati was afraid of Rayse, because if he's that far gone with Ruin's Intent, my boy would totally be up for a fight! I wish Brando had just said, Ati wanted to help - he's totally up for some Ruination - but he was restrained by Preservation at that point. (Tanavast, you wouldn't have wanted Ati's help at that stage, lol, all of you would would be in the firing line. Except maybe Cultivation, I think her and Ruin make a great pair.)

cannot stop thinking about "Ati, perhaps kindliest among us, who had boldly taken up Ruin." the mistborn brainrot never stops. he was the kindliest among them. the man that became the ruin we know, that the final empire crew had to defeat, was the kindliest of the sixteen Vessels. hello is anyone out there

[nnmmxnxmxmx]

my long thoughts on this shit take of a reddit post, going basically line by line, as a previous inniter and a dream hater:

1. If dream was just expressing confusion on double standard rules i would understand, no it’s not fair (as much as i hate him) that he’s getting called slurs online- the issue is he seems to never address this, if this is something he dislikes why hasn’t he decided to quote tweet these posts he’s talking about? instead he attacks Tommyinnit fans because they… don’t like a trumpie okay weird choice.

2. further more- if Dream understands the hurt from using slurs without caution/ as an insult, surely that would have crossed his mind before posting? surely it would have an impact on his actions? i’m not doubting he’s felt hurt by being called rude names online, but if it’s actually something he takes a moral stance against i can’t fathom why he would decide to use them in retaliation.

3. “Obviously it's the internet being disingenuous, but that doesn't completely invalidate anyone that might be upset by it.” honestly asking here if anyone can explain what he means by this? cant work it out

4. Again, this post would be fine if dream was just expressing discomfort at being called slurs online- if he was actually involved in the drama before inserting himself and Tommys fans had been attacking him with derogatory language this would make sense. But Dream is the one who decided to call a group of millions the R slur, and as much as he’s trying to argue he’s autistic and therefor thought it was okay i just don’t buy that. He’s trying to paint himself as a victim of circumstance- “people called me a rude name, and because i’m apart of the group that name targets i thought i could use it back” but that’s not how “reclaiming” works. You’re just firing back with the same hateful language that you claim to know what it feels like to be hurt by.

5. “internet police” is interesting when Dream is the one getting involved in other people’s drama

6. Additionally, calling tommy “poor tommy” just feels mean- he’s trying to prop himself up as a victim and Tommy as someone who manipulates himself into being perceived as one. But this doesn’t make sense because even during peak dsmp no one got more shit that Tommyinnit- he was getting cancelled every week! There’s never been a time on the internet where people have perceived him as someone to treat with Kid gloves

7. Also adding the “lmao” on the end of seeing he never meant to be ableist feels very inauthentic, hard to believe someone feels remorse for fucking up when they are actively laughing at the idea that they fucked up

8. As a previous Tommyinnit stan- and someone who currently enjoys his tweets on my tl from time to time i KNOW we were, and i’m sure some still are, annoying. Tommy stans had poor standards when it came to boundaries and would harass streamers about Tommy constantly. That said, having your defence of calling a whole group of people the R slur being that.. they were annoying? that’s strange.

9. i just don’t care that Tommyinnit is promoting stand up while bullying bad people. sorry.

10. Last line is probably the scariest in it’s implications, i made a post before but it really feels like this is a gateway into some semi alt-right shit making its way into Dreams community. The seeds are there with him talking about how unreasonable twitter is, and lamenting how they are taking his joke too seriously. Just saying if we see a Kick deal in the future i wouldn’t be suprised

I just realized the Bergens probably have a trolls husbandry book somewhere. Considering that trolls need to be safe and happy to reproduce. There are probably a lot of steps needed to keep the population stable enough for regular harvests. With a lot of gaslighting and inaccuracies on troll behavior. I wonder if there a Bergen who job it is take care of and make sure troll needs are met. I wonder if due to the job they are not allowed to eat trolls ever because the trolls would be more relaxed and willing to interact with a Bergen they've been told and shown will not eat them? Maybe they are selected for the job from a young age to discourage the temptation and as compensation gets to have an extra portion of troll on their retirement. That Bergen probably gets watched like a hawk to ensure they are not snacking on the trolls and or trying to help them escape. The thoughts of what went on before pop village escaped has me thinking.

You know when i first watched that movie a few months ago the last thing i thought i would be doing afterwards would be answering asks about how the husbandry and farming of small sapient creatures would work

I mean i really doubt Dreamworks was thinking this deeply into the implications of whatever the fuck they were doing with that movie's plot but i guess SOMEONE has to be burdened with that knowledge

Anyway did you know that in the cooking book that Chef holds up in one scene has eligible recipes that you can read and a few of those lines inform you that: 1) Trolls will go grey upon death and there are steps to take in recipes to stop that from happening or at least slow the process 2) There are multiple recipes that require the trolls to still be alive during the cooking

Which implies that humanely killing their own lifestock is not a necessary step, which could also imply that trolls have less welfare laws than a cow

Who do you think Kaito Carbeou is ? If it is Touichi Kuroba, was it necessary to make Kaito believe his Papa is dead, I don't understand when they are going to tell him the truth, even Chikagi at least would have given some hints to kaito that his father is alive , kaito is a smart boy he would have understand or Touichi and Chikagi wanted Kaito to The Kaito Kid. Maybe they were planning to tell him on his 18th birthday,but before that he found out .

I've seen theories for Kaitou Corbeau being either Chikage or Toichi, although I think Toichi dressed as Corbeau at the end of M27 right? Implying it's him? (I haven't had the chance to watch yet, sadly.)

The most probably answer is that Gosho thought it would be cool if Toichi was alive after all and then Kaito has a happy ending having his father back without taking into consideration the consequences the actions have on Kaito.

Toichi is the father of the year, not only traumatizing his son faking his death in front of him while performing but also grooming him to do the job he can't be bothered doing anymore (I know he'll have his reasons or whatever but they won't be good reasons, just stupid.)

I think it's heavily implied that the poster mechanism opening when he touched it meant it was set to unlock at a certain time, when he was 16/17. All to make him into Kaitou KID.

It's already not great parenting that Toichi left such a thing for his son to find, but at least if he's dead it's a "I want to tell you why I died and you're old enough to finally understand my reasonings and to learn a side of me I never got the chance to show you."

Now that we know Gosho is committed to keeping him alive, it just comes across as grooming his son into becoming a criminal by using emotional manipulation to do the job he couldn't do. And considering that Carbaou appeared when Chikage was "worried" about him being KID, it's highly likely she also knows he's alive.

It's just really bad writing with really bad implications.

Totally agree. It’s also something that has bothered me with the treatment of Jinx, between her being changed by shimmer and having her finger blown off - I feel like her disfigurements are thematically played as her punishment ? Like with her changes with shimmer we see glimpses of when she’s “good” the physical effects of shimmer are lessened with her eyes turning blue. But I kind of don’t like that implication because she was medically tortured (intentionally or not) and it was a last ditch effort to save her life. It’s tragic she carries those scars, it’s not just her “bad side”. And then she’s weakened and disfigured by Caitlyn (the supposedly more “good and just” character) even tho there is like no reason for this. Jinx would seem to be the superior fighter between the two anyway.

There is a conversation somewhere we need to have about how Arcane falls under the long known stereotype and cinematic standard of turning people with facial differences into villains or inherently evil.

It's not by accident that all the Chem-Barons, goons and even Silco are all depicted with facial differences, wrinkles or a different body type.

It also applies to the villainization of, specially, older women, wrinkles and grey hair.

Or where fat characters can only exit as men, such as Benzo or Claggor but we only have one fat female character and she is a background goon depicted as evil and "washed up".

Meanwhile the characters that are put under "good lighting" (Vander, Jinx, Vi, Caitlyn, Mel, Jayce, Viktor, Sevika (Despite their disabilities) etc.) are all depicted as jovial, with skinny or toned bodies and no facial differences.

And there are many other examples.

I saw a lot of praising for the "different designs". But they are not progressive.

The "villains" are still depicted as "ugly, old and weird" and the "good guys" are still depicted as "skinny and young".
