Now I need to see puppy Dazai. If only so Chuuya could be like “who’s the dog now, huh?” Possibly while puppy Dazai is trying to lick his face

Puppy dog in need of a forever home. His breed is brown with droopy ears. He's fluffy. Picked up on the side of the road.

LIVING for your ponytail Yugi he’s so cute 😭💖
thank u! i hold dear in my heart the way yuugi is like a little plushie that wants nothing more than to die a noble death
#not art#ask#probably why i also refuse to draw yami taller or with the chiseled jawline he gets in canon#thats a child none of us get to forget thats a child#there kind of is a sense of like. swimming through the currents of mythos to reach real life? in the original ygo manga#(mostly talking abt manga bc that's truly like the only ygo media I actually look at and feel a kinship with lol. idk shit abt the anime)#a lot of the story is told with a heightened sensibility a la sailor moon. exaggerated characteristics colloquialized events etc#it fits the way teenagers feel emotions yes but it is also Convenient. like the way kaiba drops the cuff key into the harbor#and it falls directly into jou's field of vision. that's not how that works in real life#it's kinda drag-like in tone. essential steps with spectacles as the mortar and emotional arcs as the throughline#yuugi's wish for kinship and understanding and appreciation is realized within this framework and then the framework like#packs itself up and exits stage left. it's a year-and-a-half-long dream. you only bring into real life what you think of to bring#and that like. kinda fits with how yuugi reads in the manga for me. where he's always reaching to be A Character while not being able#to stop being just a teen in some city at the same time right. listen i have pdfs worth of chatlog with friends abt gender reading#and all of the stuff with the cute little things whose specialty is being cannon fodder or sacrificial lambs and the dialectics etc in ygo#the toy is the actual character while the fantasy and you holding it is in fact the messy reality of you#would like to say ''yuugi looking cute as hells is important to all of that'' but tbh thatd be a lie lol#i do just think the star shaped ponytail is a good idea i wanna keep drawing. but also yeah softening takahashi's style is kinda#a shame but I do think for the purpose of my own art at least it is kinda somewhat intended as commentary? in a sense#big ups to my guy rest in peace you were doing all that straight lines and circles and chrome in ink in the year of our lord two thousand#it is INSANE that ygo ended looking like that. at that point in time. not my preference but neither is caving or deep sea diving#he and his assistants were doing that shit By Hand. do you know how fucked up that is#but yeah due to the art style being that kind of clean and geometrical and processed there is. not a lot of greeblies#as well as a lot more risk of tangents and things reading not super clear due to line uniformity etc#and I like my greeblies and am from the fuckass school of french language comic so. here we end up#one thing i pride myself on in my own art is doing my damn best to get across the texture and weight of subjects with just ink so#i do think i make yuugi extra squishy lmao. like if u ragdoll him at a wall itd make a thwack#and <3 i categorically refuse to make atem/yami any more solid <3#thank u for coming to my tedtalk sorry this happened under ur ask. actually not sorry its my house. welcome to my house

my most piping hot historical/academic take is that people who condemn "historians" at large for not applying modern sexuality and gender labels to historical figures are incredibly annoying at best.
#maddie meows#like idk i think it's fine to recognize certain figures as gay or trans etc etc colloquially#but the wider cultural context they lived under NEEDS to be taken into an account in academic circles#and often those cultures and time periods did not conceptualize sexuality and gender in the same way as us#it is inaccurate to say that like. idk. michelangelo was “gay” because that is a modern label.#we don't know how someone like michelangelo would define himself if given access to our modern terminology#so imo it's inherently dishonest to label him and similar figures that way#it doesn't mean it's bad to want to see people like you throughout history#nor does it mean using modern terminology is bad or inherently harmful shorthand- i think it can be useful for sure!#but idk let's not act like “The Historians” are performing purposeful censorship rather than#-at least nowadays-#typically just being honest#idk some of this is also just my personal thoughts re:labels coming up i think#like... idk. the way i see it#the words we use to describe our experiences can be very important and i don't wanna discount that#but they're not like. “real”. you know?? they're not inherent to anything#we made them up to describe groups of people with similar experiences#but language is inherently mutable? the language is not irrevocably tied to the experience is what i'm saying#so like... i can recognize a historical figure has similar experiences to me regarding sexuality or w/e#but to me what makes me the labels i am is that i choose to use those labels#it's a choice influenced by my experiences but i don't “have” to do anything wrt labels lol#so i do feel cautious about saying any personally unlabeled historical figure just “was” anything.#i don't know what they'd choose to use for themself if they knew what terms we had nor will i ever in most cases#idk. just rambling here lol

species don’t exist — i mean, obviously, they do. but they aren’t objective. species are (as most things are) a cultural construction, a coalition of humans deciding where and when to draw what lines. constantly in debate: did you know paleoanthropologists are unintentionally incentivized to claim to have discovered entire new genera along the path of human evolution because they are more likely to generate media buzz and gain desperately needed funding. thousands of plants may be categorized together but a centimeter’s difference in skull thickness warrants an entire new genus name. we are more genetically similar to chimpanzees than they are to their fellow non-human primates, but due to the rules of Linnaean taxonomy humanity will never be collapsed into the same genus as them because the rules dictate that the older genus name prevails: humanity would never accept becoming Pan sapiens, especially not after it took decades for it even to be accepted that humans were a part of the taxonomy in the first place. even the most basic of criteria we’ve used in the past to decide where a species stops and starts continues to be debunked - fish from entire opposites of the world can produce fertile offspring. analogous evolution can find lines that split millions of years back creating critters that would be side by side in a disney cartoon. categorization is a eternal battleground of western scientific standards requiring universalized objective qualifiers vs. the futile efforts to recognize the unmeasurable amounts of nuance held in traditional ecological knowledge — versus the fact that, inevitably, it all boils down to a vast continuum contained within only a few percentage points of variation in the squiggly lines that tell the cells of everything on the entire globe how to eat

I have always found it adorable when someone uses words in your native language, even if it's a simple "thank you" or "you're welcome", I feel it's a detail that lets you know that the person appreciates you enough or cares enough about you to learn your language

It was absurd that those people ever tried to pretend it was about morality in the first place considering that they were the same people who were sending Karlie death threats all throughout the last four months of her first pregnancy 💀
see that’s the thing i don’t want to say everybody did everything but at the same time i think it would also be naive to say the venn diagram had no overlap
