It's giving Nimona but Arabic vibes, and no romance.

i love how immediately attached paige got to faulkner and carpenter, because she gets kidnapped by them and in the space of a couple days she's like 'these two idiots haven't a fucking clue what they're doing i've got to go rescue one of them from the police'

Don't you love it when you get back into your childhood hyper-fixation that you remember very fondly as an adult and realize how fucking depressing the actual story is now that you have the capacity to understand it beyond cool fighting and characters, humor, and awesome friendships?

I was thinking about the spider society sitcom idea you posted and then I found this video

Where the office celebrated this guys birthday by covering his office in streamers and challenging him to make it to his desk without breaking any

And I think this would be really funny with Miguel

THIS IS GOLD - Miguel CANNOT DO THAT SHIT

He takes on look at it and is like - this isn't possible. It just isn't.

And Jess looks at him and is like "No, it is. We checked." Of course Miguel is like "How? How did you test this?"

And Hobie goes - "We sent Pavitr through to check."

And Miguel looks down at Pavitr, half his size, incredibly flexible and exceptionally gymnastic even for a Spider-person. and Pavi is standing next to him like :)

"Totally doable."

Miguel is about to say 'fuck this' before Hobie mentions that 'Oh yeah, that's not streamers. Those are extra sticky webbing.' then walks away laughing.

They don't see Miguel for the rest of the day. He has to wait for the webs to dissolve. He failed.

Hobie took photos while he was stuck. It's on the Society Holidary Card

all r-dfem blogs on here are always posting 3 things: a) most vitriolic disgusting display of shaming people for how they look which almost always implicitly or explicitly aligns with some kind of eugenics or racism, b) how everyone who isnt them or disagrees with them is stupid or misguided or has no hope left for them, and c) how lonely and isolated they feel all the time . I wonder when they will join the dots

i think people think sanji represses a lot of things and he does, but certainly not as much as you all think he does. his key characterization is the fact that when it comes down to it he can't resist being openly affectionate and loving and that that is the core of him. i think ultimately his need for love and affection (to give and receive it) wins in more serious moments.

wait i have another rant unrelated to anything. the common... perception? trend? idek what to call it, in fandoms and media commentary communities that every antagonist in every story has to have some deep reason for why they do things, or a sad backstory or w/e, imo kills creativity, makes stories lose their focus, and can be very upsetting when done wrong

like it's okay to have purely evil villains. it's okay to make hate sinks. that doesn't make you a bad writer. characters are meant to be tools, vehicles to tell a story, and sometimes you need that tool to just be an obstacle with no real depth. sometimes the story is more about how the protagonist overcomes hardships, and in certain premises those hardships work better when depicted as other humans. and honestly, even if they can be replaced by a generic monster or some object or w/e, it's still okay to make them a person if you wanna bc it serves the same purpose at the end of the day and you don't need to excuse that choice, imo.

like ppl who tear into every story and try to find every logical fault in it - even when it's only a fault when you entirely strip the context of fiction off it, thus often making these points irrelevant to the discussion about. yknow. a fictional work - can be so boring. I'm all for dissecting stories and trying to understand the logic behind some stuff, and while i personally prefer stories where the villain does indeed have a relatable or at least understandable motive, i do think that for certain stories it just does a disservice and frankly misses the point of why the story is even being told. like sometimes the villain is some money hungry asshole bc we needed a money hungry asshole to stand in opposition to our protagonists. it's not that deep, and it doesn't need to be. you just want to read a different story, so go do that.

Man the heteronormativity of hyrule gets ridiculous when you realize that there's a town full of tall, buff women who isolate themselves from men for years, and there isn't a single lesbian in sight :V

[verysium]

all the men i’ve loved before are built like an upside down trapezoid. that shoulder-to-waist ratio does not lie. bonus points if they’re older than me and are currently going through a mid-life crisis. that deranged nihilism just does it for me.

[ofsunhillow]

all the terf "gender abolitionists" i've seen identify as women anyways. and not just in a passing "yeah i'm female, anyways" way. and i'm not going to call that part stupid, because it makes sense, their reality is that they are treated as women and to talk about the system that oppresses them they must talk about themselves as women, and to talk about the society they participate in they must talk about themselves as women, they can't pretend the concept of gender doesnt rule. but its pretty stupid that they insist that this isnt the exact same thing trans people do .

[bigothteddies]

so much of what you guys say on here when referencing gender is fucking WEIRD
