I hate how acknowledging unfairness in the world is seen as "childish". Maybe children are right. I don't think you should be proud of the fact that you've become complacent with the state of your miserable existence and took on this loser "it is what it is" mentality. Things can be better.
#Maybe it's the 'tism but I've never lost my childlike rage.#If suffering is what reality is supposed to be then I must strike down God and pull the heavens here to Earth

Funny things I found out playing with language setting in Netflix while looking episode 15:
Chilchuck's scream sounds HAUNTED in brazilian portuguese. Give it a try if you can.
(You can hear it here)
In spanish dub, Senshi says: "tocó mis senos de hombre", which means "he touched my man boobs" in Spanish. And I think that's the best dub line one so far.
#i love replaying certain scenes (usually screams) to see how they nailed it in other dubs#ive done it with Chilchuck & Mickbell screams because they're the funniest ones#give it a shot if you can#its really funny to hear certain character voices in other languages#for example. brazilian portuguesse gave both mickbell and chilchuck un-childlike voices (in japaneese both sound like little childs)#and they reused Chilchuck's japaneese screams for most of the other languages because he is so high-pitched and full of terror that it work#dungeon meshi#chilchuck#chilchuck tims#dunmeshi#delicious in dungeon#senshi#senshi of izganda#senshi dungeon meshi#idk how do you people screen record the episodes#if i knew how to i would put the shots here#my shit#thanks to the one that made the clip on Chil's scream im in love here <3

I guess Chilchuck has brought us right back to 'adults who are short are child-coded and if you like them you're a pedophile' discourse huh
#spitblaze says things#anyway.#1) please google 'halfling'#2) THERE ARE ADULTS WHO ARE VERY SHORT. DID YOU KNOW THAT. WERE YOU AWARE#3) THERE ARE ALSO ADULTS WHO HAVE CHILDLIKE FACES. DID YOU KNOW *THAT*#4) IF YOU THINK THE ONLY REASON A MAN COULD LOOK LIKE THAT IS BECAUSE THEY ARE TRANS MEN IM GOING TO KILL YOU#5) jesus christ will you just read/watch dungeon meshi and understand that the entire conceit of his character and of half-foots in general#is that its fucked up to treat people as children or subhuman because they do not 'look' like what you expect a cisgender adult to look lik#anyway if i see one more person call Chilchuck 'has gray streaks and an ex wife and three adult daughters' Tims a sh*ta#im gonna start smashing things#doin numbers

(His24-7.com) “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” - Isaiah 41:10 Jesus tells us in Mark 10:15, “I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the Kingdom of God like a:.little child will never enter it. The way that a little child would describe God’s omnipresence would be to personalize it and say, “God is with me.” Scripture makes it clear that God, although greater than we could ever imagine, is big enough to be with each one of us in a very personal way. As we recognize His presence, talk to Him, and listen to Him we find forgiveness, peace, answers to our burning questions, comfort, purpose and hope. Are you enjoying His presence? Did you know that you could?

The Girlishness of Woman according to Fascinating Womanhood (1963; 2017)
Fascinating Womanhood is a book written by Helen Andelin and was first published in 1963. I just finished reading Fascinating Womanhood: Vintage Edition (2017) revised and edited by Helen's daughter, Dixie Andelin Forsyth. Both versions focus on developing a deeply romantic marriage. One of the mentioned qualities that the ideal woman should have, from a man's point of view, attracts special attention.
I warn you that this book deviates from feminist and scientific literature, and the advice contained therein is rather the subjective reflections of the authors (more about criticism FW).
Childlikeness
According to the authors, childlikeness is the most charming feature: is an extreme girlishness. It is a quality of sauciness, spunk, innocence, trustfulness and tenderness all mixed into one [p. 222].
Childlikeness may manifest itself in communicating emotions, asking for things, manner and in appearance. However, I focused more on finding the answer to why adult women should pretend to be little girls? First of all, extreme girlishness makes him feel more masculine thanks to the strong contrast, so it is a form of communicating women's position. The mentioned charm comes from flattering men and transforming them into superiority.
Also a woman who is angry and moody gives the impression of a child who suddenly changes emotions. The stronger one should protect and take care of such a delightfully human little creature, therefore Andelin's ideal woman is defenseless.
Girlish appearance
According to Fascinating Womanhood childlikeness is extremely exciting for men. And since men are visual creatures, girlishness should also be reflected in a woman's outfit. As well: this youthful apperance also has a psychological effect* on the woman in actually making her feel younger [p. 260].
What should an ideal wardrobe contain?
jumpers pleated skirts, baby doll yokes, skirts with ruffles, petticoats and pantaloons
dresses trimmed with rickrack, daisies, buttons and bows
white collars, black velvet ribbons, bright and vivid colors of fabrics
The above things sound like something out of the coquette or dollete aesthetic popular today. Therefore, it can be said that Andelin's classic work, slightly updated by her daughter, also fits into today's framework. Maybe we shouldn't draw inspiration from the childlikeness quality, but it must be admitted that women have wanted to look girlish for at least 60 years!
*I think that the authors had in mind a self-fulfilling prophecy with this vague term.

One does not need to abandon the inner child to become an adult. On the contrary, mature age can ‒ and should ‒ bring along the "childlike", which has nothing to do with childish. The adult who does not oppress the childlike within himself keeps the purity of thoughts much more readily and lives in the present much more firmly, as children naturally do. It was not by chance that the great Teacher exhorted: "Become like children!" (https://bit.ly/2BzVIvK). The Day Without Tomorrow

I love the idea that Michael is always gloomy and low-energy with a bit of snark but the mere IDEA of Foxy turns him into the most easily excitable person on the planet
YES, but I also extent that to every animatronic he really likes!!
#ask reply#YOU GET IT#this is something I’ve made sure to be apart of his personality#despite everything I think Michael still really likes animatronics#he knows how they work how they are built their personalities etc#so he still has some animatronics he really likes#that just get him excited and cheered up#FOXY is definitely the top one next to Helpy#Foxy will always hold a place in his heart no doubt#gives him childlike wonder and whimsy back#helpy he grew pretty instantly attached to#that’s HIS lil guy#then handfuls of other animatronics he enjoys#Michael doesn’t have a lot to smile about#so he definitely found his own fun in all of this#love him dearly

Oh no, my wonder is not "childlike." My whimsy is old. My frivolity is steeped in ancient wisdom.
My silliness is battle worn. My awe at the world has been long forged through trial & tribulation.
I have earned this wonderment. I have protected it for decades against a society that tells me constantly that it should not belong to me.
I was born with wonder, and I have carried it, against all odds, with me through adulthood.
It is not "childlike" by now it is Older than me.

After months of research and development and market testing and perfecting the first item I feel confident selling online, I have realized... that it is an incredibly niche item that only a specific subset of absolute nerds would want to buy, and I will have to do a ton of explaining the basic idea over and over again before people generally get what it is I'm even selling. RIP me
#this is like the time I spraypainted a bunch of screw heads gold#because I was putting up gold spraypainted shelf brackets and wanted these black screws to not stand out#and to make it easier I took a piece of thin cardboard and cut a series of Xes in it#then pushed the screws in a little bit and positioned it over the gap between boards on the back deck#and used my hammer to just plonk those screws into place so I could spraypaint them!#i felt so clever I posted a video of it#(gold spraypaint makes me feel giddy and childlike)#and everyone was like#“GIRL NO YOU CAN'T DO THAT DON'T TRY TO *HAMMER* YOUR *SCREWS* INTO A DECK!”#it took like. so much work to try to explain to people why this was a problem I wanted to solve#much less the mechanism by which i solved it#my brain is just. HIGHLY WEIRD SOMETIMES

As much as nearly every character she meets tends to act like there's something uniquely broken and wrong with Claudia, at no point does it truly seem to me like there actually really is? I mean, obviously she is extremely fucked up, she straight up went through a serial killer collecting trophies phase, but there's a level of fucked up that's sort of the baseline for every character in the show, and obviously being turned into a vampire as a child puts her at a unique disadvantage. But for all that everyone around her spends their time bemoaning how dreadful and doomed her life is, even Louis who genuinely loves her but also builds so much of his identity around feeling responsible for her Terrible Fate™, I really don't think she's like, fundamentally damaged any more than any of the other vampires are.
But Lestat is so unwilling to be wrong that every time her life hits an inevitable road bump instead of helping her through it he points and says "look! see! she IS a monster, I was right Louis, making her was a mistake!" (and I think he sees his own monstrousness in her but fails to also see her humanity)
And then Armand meets her and sees only someone who will inevitably lose her mind, so of course speeding up the "inevitable" and siding with the coven to plan her death is just a mercy, absolving himself of any blame. (and he projects his own frailty and desire for death onto her, failing to see her strength and her desire for life)
Which makes it so cathartic when she meets Madeleine, admits to her how broken she feels sometimes, and Madeleine's response is just. Well that's normal. Who isn't a little broken these days. Let yourself feel it, move on, let yourself feel it again if you need to. After spending her life having others act as if her emotions are something uniquely dark and worrying, Madeleine's incredibly blase attitude must have been such an incredible breath of fresh air for Claudia!
To spend her whole life being made to feel like something is Wrong™ with her, and then meet someone who's just like, "yeah, and?? Who isn't? Join the club I guess"
Which makes her death so incredibly tragic and frustrating because like. She was fine! She was making a life for herself! She wasn't doomed by her nature, she wasn't "doomed by the narrative" (whatever the fuck that even means), she was doomed for no reason other than that everyone around her (except for Madeleine) preemptively DECIDED she was doomed and never gave her a chance to prove them wrong.
#interview with the vampire#claudia iwtv#claudia de pointe du lac#claudia eparvier#(just using all the possible last names for the sake of thorough tagging lol)#there's also a very interesting layer of like#disability metaphor in claudias story#with her just living her life as best she can#despite a physical disadvantage#that makes the world perceive her as both childlike and unsettling#and others see this as a terrible fate worse than death#meanwhile she's just#living her life#she could have lived a full and good life (by vampire standards) if others hadn't decided that she couldn't/shouldn't

One of the things about Capitano that really stood out to me is how... nice he is. And it doesn't feel like an abrupt twist at all because it brings sense to the earlier information we had on him. His fame and how Fatui agent Viktor would much rather work under him if given the choice. A figure who actually cares about the modus oparandi, or more specifically, whether it is fair and honorable to other parties or not is naturally a more trustworthy leader as opposed to one who doesn't care about methodology so long as it gets the work done. Of course, adherence to certain principles is bound to slow down progress and for a faction like the Fatui, that is a handicap.
Despite this, the soldiers under Capitano's leadership trust him immensely. Even someone like Arlecchino respects him, “independent of the power he possesses” — this suggests that while Capitano's strength is impressive, his personality is even more impactful. He's also reasonable and doesn't misuse his strength, evidenced by his encounter with Varka and his unwillingness to ambush Mavuika in her weakened state.
Perhaps it's the marginal overuse of the ‘righteous’ character (often rather carelessly) which has created a certain situation, wherein we are often more attracted to morally gray characters (although not really comprehending the nuances well all the time). Of course, it's still a bit early to make a definitive conclusion but, this portrayal of the ‘righteous’ character through Capitano is something I find really refreshing.
#capitano has such a presence orz. literally any other playable male character looks kind of.. childlike next to me imo lol#my personal interpretation of scara's ‘absolute righteousness is a latent danger’ has always been that it's more of a handicap than anything#i could be wrong though and maybe there's something actually dangerous about it lol#in any case i really like capitano's character#harmony simps#il capitano#capitano#capitano genshin#genshin impact capitano
