OH **** IM SO SORRY NO ITS NOT A DEATH THREAT

Why would anyone want to send a death threat to such a creative and awesome and talented person

YOU’RE FINE ANON I FIGURED IT OUT REALLY QUICK NO WORRIES

and I don’t know. People just send threats on here willy-nilly sometimes. I think it’s just the type of people tumblr tends to attract

everytime i’m faced with wild overt misogyny that’s just platformed like it’s nothing i remind myself that people don’t actually have to feel this way about women. men are fully capable of treating women like human beings and viewing them as such. “but socialization but male fantasies but patriatchy speaks through us even when we don’t recognize it” sure but actually regardless there exist men who are fundamentally not raging misogynists and they generally seem happier and better adjusted. misogyny to me isn’t disappointing because “oh i can’t believe Men, as an essentialized category of person, are like this” it’s disappointing because people make the choice to be like this. “it’s my biological imperative as a man to dominate you” okay well it’s my biological imperative as a freaky bitch to dominate you so what now. what biological imperative is making you comment “onlyfans detected opinion rejected” on every picture of any attractive woman. i think i will always be understood by most people as a woman and i’m learning to accept that and trying to like it but misogyny makes me feel very trapped of course. but misogyny is a choice. which means some people make the choice to be misogynistic which is profoundly frustrating. but many other people choose not to be actively misogynistic and i believe anyone could choose not to be actively misogynistic if they wanted. so it’s a whole thing

the constant emphasis on the can of alcohol though… it’s like it’s telling us that yuko’s too deep in her vices/self-indulgence that she’s completely oblivious to how much her younger son loves and cares for her…

A long while ago one of my high hopes for future manga chapters was Poland and Romania having a friendship or at least interacting because for some reason I had it in my head that they, somehow, somewhere, had a canon friendship.

I remembered this and was so confused because for the life of me I could not remember where I heard that and was convinced I was just crazy

Then I remembered this scene where in the dub, Poland says,

“Im going to paint my walls pink, it’ll make Romania so jealous”

And since I’d watched the dub first I ingrained it into my brain that they were friends, When here in the sub he says something completely different and doesn’t even bring Romania up

So it wasn’t even Hima’s intention in the first place. I’m not surprised but I still think Romania and Poland should be friends or at least have some kind of interaction. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk

reading time’s crucible has really changed my perspective on headcanons of time lord cultural asexuality though. i was pretty neutral-positive about it when all i knew was Looms. but now that i prefer the cc:tc version of canon i really don’t like it actually because 1. i don’t think people need to be sterile to be asexual and 2. i find it really distasteful to treat the concept of unwanted mass sterility as a win for ace representation instead of a horrible tragedy

i mean it’s complicated because i think no matter what caused it, a society that only reproduces asexually could definitely evolve toward a culture of asexuality and that’s probably what happened. but even if it’s plausible and true, idk it just feels wrong to celebrate them all being asexual when it’s based on scenes like this

now if your headcanon for why time lords are asexual and looms exist doesn’t involve them all being sterile that’s wonderful like maybe they invented looms because they evolved toward asexuality first, that’s splendid. but personally as an enjoyer of the cc:tc version of events, at most i’m neutral toward it like “yes their society probably became generally more asexual as a result of having to use looms to reproduce” but i don’t think it’s a positive thing for them OR good ace representation so i tend to just leave it be and not elaborate on it. i think they would’ve preferred not to lose all their children in an instant. and even if that event doesn’t matter to them thousands of years later and asexuality is all they’ve ever known and they’re fine with it, i still don’t think conflating asexuality with sterility is the move either. so based on my preferred canon, i tend to either quietly disagree with “all time lords are ace” headcanons or treat it as a solemn fact of their reality and not something that’s.. good

Who hurt you

if looking for stories to enjoy it is important to have standards other than “Does a Main Character Remain perpetually faceless or wear a mask” it turns out

anyway my issue with a lot of other helpols (which just makes me avoid the larger community and do my own thing in my corner) is that a lot of them are recon (which is fine!!!) but i am inherently informal and weird as shit in my practice. i call hades and hestia my spiritual dad/mom, hermes gets donuts as offerings when i’m trying to get to class on time and avoid traffic, i once asked artemis to keep deer from jumping out in front of my car on a road trip home with an offering of granola/sports bars. when people get too formal with the gods and pull out the titles, i usually bail bc it makes me uncomfortable. my relationship with my deities is extremely deep and connected, and it’s not that people who have more formal relationships with them can’t also have those, but it’s that if i called hades “lord hades” with any seriousness, he’d hit me with a rock, basically.

i don’t judge other people for their practices or more formal relationships bc honestly, it’s between you and your gods, but like… my go-to offering is the pomegranate brookside dark chocolates, and yes. sometimes i eat them out of my offering dishes the next day.

I still have NOT started my Kikaider rewatch because I swear I have adhd and can’t focus right now to do anything besides build dragon ig but I keep rotating back to like- how similar mitsuko and michirus families are and I’d love to do a comparison on them but I don’t know how I’d do it given not just “well mitsuko and her fam got to be more fleshed out in especially the anime cause they didn’t have to juggle three main characters” but also like they’re two families who aren’t necessarily a family trope themselves but rather are compromised of multiple tropes from that era:

Michiru/Mitsuko: The supporting girl who is friends with the main character, potentially their love interest

Saotome/Komyoji: The old man scientist who works for the good guys and sometimes may or may not either be the father of the MC or the supporting girl

Genki/Masaru: The little boy support character who tends be the little brother of the main character, but sometimes can be the little brother of the support girl

And then they both get slapped with a dead older brother and a mother who is MIA both of which don’t always happen in tandem with these tropes but I think it’s more of a coincidence both Michiru and Mitsukos families are so similar so they just line up these tropes that were super common back then. (Though since Kikaider came first Ishikawa could’ve POSSIBLY took inspiration especially because Nagai knew Ishinomori but I have no clue if they ever met)

I was off for the night but poking my nose back in one more time for a small vent: wild how I can post art after art to this one server and get no response, but then sb posts their AI generated shit and immediately does.

I’m not entitled to praise or engagement, I know that, but that’s just a slap in the face to actual artists.

in my defense, i was like 90% sure u already knew what banana fish was and i thought u would call me out on my bs right away. i did have a moment of panic when it turned out that u didn’t so 🥺

Hahaha it’s totally fine. I’ve actually never heard of it before today but I did start watching it because of this because I was curious. I like it so far

My life would make a really great movie advocating for parents to have mental health evaluations before they can raise/have children

my total admiration for nurses and caretakers. I’ve spent a couple of days taking care of my grandma because my aunt and mom are on holidays and I ended up crying out of frustration
