#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wen ning#wei wuxian#wen qing#jiang cheng#Truly Massive disclaimer here: I am a Jiang Cheng enjoyer. I like his character. I enjoy that he is very flawed and volatile.#This episode of the audio drama has a lot of great breakdown scenes featuring JC - and they all deserve a feature.#But underlying this comic is a small meta comment of 'ah man I have too many comics of JC just wailing sadly'#My goal is to draw 6-8 comics per episode - I sometimes have to truncate and cut good scenes out.#Especially when a large majority is just different flavours of trauma and toxic relationships to your self-worth.#I would also like to make a note here that just because you lose the ability to do something that is very tied to your core identity-#-does not mean your life is over. It will feel like the end of the world. It will send you into a spiral of grief. It will hurt so badly.#Sometimes we do not realize how tied up our identities can be in certain things until we are cut loose.#You don't lose yourself. I promise the pain will fade in time. I promise you will find other things to tether you. I promise you will be ok#Life moves forwards. Time moves forwards. You move forwards.#Ego death just means an opportunity for ego rebirth. You are never committed to being the same person forever.#To wrap this around to JC: Yeah I love the twist with the core transfer but man I would have loved to see JC accept the loss.#Obviously it happens for a reason (story) but I can have my AUs. I can have these 'what-ifs'.#described in alt text#I'm trying it out! *please* give me feedback - I want to eventually Add image ID to all of these comics one day

You know, it’s a very minor thing, but it does make me a little sad how the Re:Zero anime adaptation…really DOES tone down a lot of the queer subtext in the original LN.
No Subaru proudly remembering his past as an androgynous, long-haired kid and lamenting that “time has not been kind to him”
All of Subaru’s comments about women being very pointedly based around their clothing (with the only exceptions being when he’s explicitly trying to distract them from something/lighten the mood) being changed to him making sincere comments about their actual bodies
No Subaru crossdressing for the first three days of high school (despite it being hinted to be a really pivotal part of his character actually, in both the text and QnAs—)
No Subaru accidentally dressing as a maid during the last day of the first Arc 2 loop and having a genuinely really hard time stepping out of that more feminine persona
No Subaru calling Otto his boytoy and. Honest to god, with context of what Natsumi Schwartz is like, I’m pretty sure Subaru was straight up flirting
No “supple hips” Julius, or Subaru allying his feelings with Patrasche when he thought she was being aggressive towards Julius’ steed before being told that actually she was trying to MATE with the other ground dragon, and even when they do include some of their interactions it really is toned down from the LN (I get that a lot of it is just visual vs prose medium but it still makes me kinda sad)
No Subaru referring to Reinhard as an ikeman
No Ferris jumping on Subaru’s bed and then going, “Wait did your heart flutter just now—?” and then explicitly staring at him with shock when Subaru hastily tries to deny it
Emilia’s definition of marriage being “between two people who love each other” being changed to “between a man and a woman who love each other” (though maybe that was just Crunchyroll? idk)
No Subaru explicitly being a really insane flirt with men (though I’m kinda holding onto hope that it’ll happen later as it comes up)
Ah, I hope they don’t alter Natsumi Schwartz’ appearance in Arc 7 too much…
#at least they didn’t remove his penchant for sewing lol#with rem calling his sewing skills [top notch] and all#also there’s something to be said about how rem is the only character so far who explicitly sees him as a man#while also being one of his most toxic relationships#and then the anime cut out a large part of just how toxic that relationship really is#re:zero season 3#natsuki subaru#natsumi schwartz#ottosuba#julisuba#reinsuba#emilia

About 9 hours ago my mom looked at me and said she’d never even imagine saying the things her mom said to her. This is after 3-5 years of me gently breaking down the abuse she’s been through for her entire life at the hands of her parents, and also-gently reminding her that she broke the cycle of abuse. I’d always have to go a bit sideways at it, like approaching a feral cat, because no one wants to be bludgeoned over the head with such a thing. She’s been so hurt, for so long, and it’s so complicated because of course she loves them. She’s been grieving the people she loved and thought she knew, grieving the death of her father, filled with guilt for not being able to help him more than she already did (and not recognizing that she did literally everything she could for him, including but not limited to putting her life on the line for him) and grieving very little for herself.
So for her to say that out loud to me is… huge.
She also was full fever brain after a covid booster so I don’t know if that will stay with her or if she’ll fever-forget but I need to find a way to acknowledge it better today than my tired-brained ‘yeah, because you were never the asshole even when they kept trying to convince you that you were’ from last night.
Anyway, I just wanted to share this as a reminder: it doesn’t matter if it takes a long time to come to terms with your abuse. It sucks, because you deserve to have your abuse recognized and start healing asap. But you’re not faking it, it did happen, and it was not ‘not that bad’ just because it took time for you to recognize the abuse. Sometimes it takes 50+ years, and it’s almost never linear. Five days from now she will be sure that she was the problem once again because that’s what she’s been told her entire fucking life. And it’s fine. It’s ok. I’ll remind her of the truth as many times as I need to. Healing is complex, and weird, and hard. Give yourself the grace and patience your abusers never granted you.
#tw: family abuse#tw: abuse#tw: family death#healing is not linear#breaking the cycle#personal#batwynn talks#what additionally sucks#is that I got to witness what happens when you don’t break the cycle#in my own fucking family#where the toxic shitty behavoirs continued#and they all allowed it#or participated in it#and then got angry with US when we tried to step in#to protect my cousin#and then cut us out of his life as quickly as possible#my heart perminately broke#the day I was told my aunt told my mother that she had him#only so she could get money from the state#and then a few years later#my grandfather telling me#she’d call him and demand he take my cousin to his house before she beat him#so casually#like it was normal

So with my Mom’s cancer being back, my own health stuff, and everything else going on, I’m not sure I’ll be able to be the most active in this round of bookclub (and I do have a lot of words muted and stuff hidden because of mental health and streamlining things and Tumblr's an ass about showing posts sometimes—so if I miss a post, please don’t take it personally!). ): It honestly makes me super upset
But I really hope that everyone has a good time and I can’t wait to see what people cook up! <3 Last time was SO MUCH FUN it makes me a little nervous about living up to those expectations aksjdkajsn But as long as someone has a good time, that's what counts :3
#TrigunBookclub#Tbh I have a lot of ships in general muted/hidden so that I stopped accidentally reblogging things to the trigunart blog lol#Which luckily romance and shipping rarely take root in my brain so *I'm* fine with that#(Don't look at the one obvious elephant in the room)#But it does mean I'll miss stuff#PLEASE let me know if someone's being a dick and I miss it#Absolute zero-tolerance policy for harassing or being cruel to anyone in this house#And also tbh I'm overwhelmed but I'm doing better than I have in previous overwhelmed times#I've been doing a lot of mental word and cut out a lot of toxicity in my life#Even if I'm really raw atm#So I'm okay#As okay as I can be anyway#ANYWAY I just feel so guilty about this#And I don't want anyone to feel bad

No nuance november: If your main headcanon for Gabbro is that they are "a stoner" because "they are so chill" I actually don't want to hear anything else you are saying because I am already bored
#this sounds so mean and is probably such a hot take but I actually really really REALLY dislike thid as a serious thing for their character#It's extremely reductive and derails any interesting discussion about mental health during the time loops#and is just actually kind of toxic??#I should put the nuance under a cut or something instead of the tags before I get blasted#But I actually think it is not cool or fun that Gabbro is repeatedly branded as someone who is hard to take seriously (ie hornfels)#and I actually do not think that they are okay lmao hot take. and I think being like “lmao they are just absolutely BAKED” kind of just#validates the idea of the notion that “well we cant take them seriously since they choose to be high all the time”#also sorry but they are detached. like. emotionally detached. They are not hanging out and Chillin. they literally teach protag to#“meditate” so hard they lose time and don't see their oncoming death lmao my guy weed cannot do that bro#apologies but also. if you think you cannot be detached without drugs. Please seek help or talk to someone who knows what dissociation is#outer wilds

you know what I really like in season 2? how Jim Jimenez, who was not exactly part of the comedy in S1, which was most probably the reason why Blackbeard got them into the new crew in the last episode of S1... is now hamming it up as much as they can.
they used to be the silent support (posing as literally silent, mute) of the crew, someone who'd be on the fringes of both conflicts and comedic situations. and then, when Jim realises what exactly the good old days were to them, things they miss, the stories Stede told... they re-enact the wooden boy story the best they could. bring up the "toxic environment" to Izzy, refuse to let good things go, don't run from them, kiss Archie when she allows, ham it up with jokes and needlings, have a curly moustache drawn onto them and are the life of the party, and then Jim's the one to help Olu out with his new romantic partner. you'd think S1!Jim would be called "nosy interferer"? personally, wouldn't think so.
as much as we call a certain other character "person amongst Muppets", Jim Jimenez had also escaped their own genre, of "Hispanic revenge thriller", into queerness and acceptance of it wholeheartedly. with Jim being themselves, nonbinary and poly and breaking as many stereotypes as they can.
#Jim Jimenez#OFMD S2#OFMD S2 spoilers#OFMD spoilers#OFMD#Our Flag Means Death#Varya rambles#one - it also adds to the narrative of genre switching within the story and how it affects OFMD#two - they're a narrative foil to Izzy Hands who ALSO. as a younger queer. helps him out in various ways#bringing up the toxicity. cutting his rotting leg (symbol of attachment to Blackbeard and that lifestyle). being supportive#and THAT is why in s2ep6 THEY are the one in center of the frame looking up at Izzy when he sings in the last scene#fuckin superb!! also like. healthy poly relationship showing that it's alright to shift them or let go#which might be another narrative foil if we ever get that Steddyhands wink wink nudge nudge#text post

What's your opinion about "Maybe you're not what I need but you're everything I've always wanted" with your Konig interpretation? I have so many mixed feelings about it. This line it's been in my mind and I'd like to know because I love your stories, I always feel my heart bleeding in the best way possible
Yes I’m thinking about a toxic/unrequited love scenario, a mismatch of two completely different souls… ❤️🔥
Some brief lust and excitement brought you on a date with him, and he was so excited he only looked at his hands when he talked. His nose was runny because of allergy season, and his jokes were awful, his rehearsed little nods a little too enthusiastic when it was your turn to talk.
In other words: he was a hot mess, bangable only when gagged, and you weren’t sure if you should just let him fuck you and be done with it… or if you should kindly let him down and excuse yourself before things got any worse.
His muscles and his height really worked for him though, and you ended up in his bed. Ended up riding him until he looked like he was about to fall in love with you, and you just wanted to put a bag over his head... That’s way too much desperation for your taste, but unfortunately, you’re wrong if you think this man is stupid. He sees that tiny disgusted glint in your eye; he knows that look of female yuck and pity all too well.
He wants to hate you for it, but can’t, so he exacts his revenge in other ways... Lies that he’s seeing other women on the side when you discreetly ask about it—since when did you agree on having an actual relationship? Sure, he’s up for it, if you are… He just needs to cut off some ties…
You only pull away in shame; that creepy ogre has been shagging other girls while you’ve devoted yourself solely to him, maybe playing hard to get, sure, indecisive whether you should call this thing off or not. The sex is good, his tired puppy eyes kind of cute, the awkward cuddles something you’ve now grown used to. But his recent casual statement makes you nearly choke on your own heart.
Here you thought he was your adoring beast, your cruel outcast, your own big little pet, needy for some pussy, love and attention… Turns out you’ve been played the fool, and König only asks if you want it from the back like yesterday.
#he’s sooo toxic when scorned#man would cut out his whole heart for you if you’re kind#but if you give him any shit?#he’s not going to just eat it and say thank you…#könig angst

“If I could go back, one thing I would do / Try to unravel, cut down, and unscrew / The first double helix that links me to you”
Wow, get a load of these guys. What’s wrong with them?
Also song inspo if anyone would like it! It’s where the top quote is from!

The idea of Ky suppressing his Gear Cells through his Catholic Willpower is so incredible to me. RIP to Sol Badguy and the scientific breakthrough of Gear Suppression devices but if Ky Kiske woke up with a tail he would just make it go away
#toxic talks about#guilty gear#Ky kiske#this is 100% unserious#well maybe 90% unserious because I think at a certain point in his life Ky would just cut off his tail#nowadays he probably would keep it out so he and Dizzy could tail cuddle

Simon Eriksson is a beautiful character and deserves all the good things in this world plus more.
#i don’t need to say any more#and i don’t need to make a long post justifying what i said#(i said what i said)#his character speaks for itself#and if all good things includes cutting out the toxic people in his life#then so be it#young royals#simon eriksson#simon young royals#wilmon

My favourite part of Nagisa's sidestory is when Nagisa, Yuu, and Inui had a lovely tea party with Nagisa's homemade cheesecake and emotional support for Inui to break up with her shitty boyfriend and emotional support for Nagisa dealing with her shitty mom's death and nothing bad happened!
#puella magi madoka magica#mahou shoujo madoka magica#madoka magica#pmmm#wyfy's meltdowns#magical girl#nagisa madoka magica#nagisa pmmm#nagisa momoe#yuusa magia record#yuu magia record#yuusa yumeno#inui itsumi#magia record#and they formed a lovely magical girl team and worked through their issues and everything was great!!!#nagisa is teaching yuu and inui about cheeses#inui is teaching yuu and nagisa about fashion#and yuu is teaching nagisa and inui that the people who truly love you wouldn't make you stress or hate yourself and-#-it's ok to cut off toxic and abusive people!#I'm happy we finally found out Nagisa's full story but at what cost?#I love pmmm and magia record but by god it makes me miserable (positive)

You know it's annoying how people accept gender being a complex thing. How the way you identify and the way you present are not the same. How complicated and fluid your gender can be.
And then turn around and deny ALL of it for sexuality. That sexuality is binary and strict.
#queer#'yes you can be masc presenting trans woman NO you cant be aro and date'#'yes you can trans by being girl most of the time and sometimes biy NO you cant be ace because of grey fluidity'#you know what fuck you all aplatonic are queer too gnc are queer too#(if they feel like it)#queer is about FUCK you socity for dictating what normal and not normal is#sometimes you are queer for how you are born and sometimes you are queer for how you live#queer is messy not the way society demands human identity to be#so once again FUCK YOU for reinforcing the same toxic suffocating ideas#FUCK YOU#yes i am angry#i am pissed off at people who supposed to know how shitty it is to be judged by who you are#to be pushed in one box only and cutting pieces off that do not fit#and then DO THE EXACT SAME THING#i KNOW queerness is complex#that it takes time to learn what being trans is what sexuality is how different kinds of attraction works#how society norms on what gender is supposed to be is bullshit#how society norms on how we are supposed to interact with each other is bullshit#but the VERY first rule should be to keep an open mind#something feels conflicting and off?#RESEARCH FIRST#learn more to figure out that its not all that simple and there are experiences beyond your comprehension#your first instinct should NOT be to hit WTFUCK

it's actually really funny that dwayne, marko, and paul barely have any characterization or lines and up until the end of the movie are really just there to make david look a little less pathetic while he desperately tries to get michael to fuck him
#like everything before marko dies if you cut them out of the scene nothing really changes#except that the dynamic changes from group peer pressure#to speedrunned jennifer and needy style toxic homoeroticism#i mean that's already there of course but it's just amplified#the lost boys#tlb#kate's bad takes
