Ik this is old news at this point but can be please talk about ch 52 of skip and loafer???
Specifically this page???
LIKE,,,,,THEY LOOK NORMAL?? NO SKIMPY BIKINIS, NO FUCKING ZOOMED IN TIT SHOT, AND THE MEN AREN’T FUCKING DROOLING WITH NOSE BLEEDS???
This sounds dramatic but im so desensitized to the sexualization of school girls in manga that i was straight up shocked when I saw how normal they all looked. I legit used to dress like this in HS….
You can tell Skip and Loafer was written by a woman cause I’ve never felt more accurately represented as someone who grew up a girl in a manga before JDJDJ
#sofiaspeaks#anime#manga panel#manga#skip and loafer#mitsumi iwakura#sousuke shima#y’all don’t understand how happy this truly made me#the friendship between these 4 is something you just straight up don’t see#just gals being pals???? HELL YEA#seinen#shojo#Ik this isn’t shojo but every shojo fan under the sun has probably read this series 💀#don’t pretend like I’m wrong

What’s baffling to me is that according to what western governments/media said these past days, hamas shouldn’t have attacked civilians in response to the violence they’ve been suffering for decades because it violates international laws, and I agree, civilians shouldn’t have been victims of an attack like this. However now, according to those same people, Israel has the absolute right to defend itself and have no other option but to respond aggressively, no matter how many civilians get caught in the crossfire, and thus also violating international laws? I’ve been racking my brain to see if I’m missing something, or if all of these politicians and journalists are intentionally contradicting themselves in order to please each other?
#I’m sorry I know I keep going back and forth with the topic but 1) I genuinely can’t stop thinking about it#and it feels wrong to stop thinking about it#and 2) I’m truly trying to understand how they can get away with lying and openly saying#‘we’re okay with the ethnic cleansing of palestinians’#i understand the reason on their basic level (they do not care about brown people)#but surely they should at least pretend that they do?#I don’t know I feel like I’m being gaslit on a global level rn#because I know that as brown/muslim people we are never 100% safe in the west but this feels like it’s on another level#palestine

Before you scold me about how amazing of a father RiseSplinter is compared to 2012Splinter, I would like to helpfully remind you that RiseSplinter’s sons’ spent years chasing Lou’s validation and Yoshi is continually depicted causally telling his boys that he is proud of them as well as the fact that even if Donnie did make him more retromutageon, he would rather remain with them as a mutant down in the sewers than return to his previous life as a human.
Examples? Well-
Season 1, Ep 13: I, Monster
“Sensei? Are you sure you’re okay?”
“I am fine. Thanks to you. You did well, my son.”
“We did pretty good too, huh?”
“Yes. I am proud of you all.”
Season 2, Episode 16: The Lonely Mutation of Baxter Stockman
“I’m sorry, Master Splinter. I wanted to change you back. But I swear, if it’s the last thing I do, I’ll-”
“Do not fret, my son. I am content with what I have become. I have no place in the human world anymore. This… Is my home. You four… Are my family.”
#I’m not saying either Splinter is better or worse#I’m just tired of hearing all the hateful comparisons against Yoshi like this man isn’t a sweetheart who has flaws like Lou#This man’s children know they are loved he doesn’t hide it#Stop pretending like Lou is some blessing and the 2012 turtles are traumatized by the fact that they don’t know if Yoshi cares about them#They’re dysfunctional they’re trying nothing wrong with that#tmnt 2k12#tmnt 2012#See what I see TMNT#teenage mutant ninja turtles 2012#tmnt donnie 2012#tmnt raph 2012#tmnt leonardo 2012#tmnt mikey 2012#tmnt leo 2012#tmnt donatello 2012#tmnt raphael 2012#tmnt fandom#hamato yoshi#splinter 2012#splinter hamato#splinter tmnt#leo 2012#donnie 2012#raph 2012#mikey 2012#teenage mutant ninja turtles#donnie tmnt 2012#rise splinter#rise lou jitsu#rottmnt lou jitsu

I think a really underrated character duo in gravity falls is Dipper and Stan. Like one, I think they are way more similar than people give them credit for. Like Dipper is definitely the one who feels like the ‘inferior’ twin (internally on his part), something reflected in Stan. Also Dipper is generally pretty cunning and willing to throw punches in a Stan-way, you can see Stan rubbing off on him as the show progresses. Dipper in the Stan costume, and that one scene where Stan and Dipper both cross their fingers at the same time for the same promise, both live in my head rent free. In my heart of hearts I think Dipper picks up a bit of Stans con-man tricks in the future (and Mabel goes on some bonding missions w/ Ford, but this post isn’t abt them). Also I just want to say I bet Dipper reminded Stan of a young Ford and that informed some of their early dynamic. Anyway bye just needed this brainworm out
#gravity falls#dipper pines#Stan pines#stanley pines#That one scene in Dreascapers where Stan talks abt how he sees himself in Dipper and that’s why he’s hard on him?#yeah#look the twins can obviously be put into their easy Mabel-Stan Dipper-Ford parallels#BUT I think it’s interesting to do it teh other way too#because Mabel and Ford are the weird twins of their pairs!!! they’re the outcasts who get picked on for being strange!#Also while I don’t think Mabel is Selfish (I love Mabel) she can be a little self-centered which is a good parallel to Ford who#is also kinda self centered#again I say this with love- Mabel did nothing wrong#similarly- Dipper can be mapped to the ‘Screw up twin’ (in his mind) the way Stan can#Dipper is a nerd but he’s not a super-genius like Ford was- so next to mabel he feels inferior#(I feel like he said something like this somewhere? the journal?)#anyway Stan is the same way#Also the way Dipper would fuck anyone up for hurting his family- even going as far to THREATEN bill in BOB#Tbf mabel does this too but it’s way less serious#anyway have this#gravity falls dipper#gravity falls stanley#wait I’m not over this actually#Mabel getting tricked by Bill pretending to be someone she trusted can be a Ford paralell actually#you know how bill sees himself in Ford despite the fact he’s WAYYY more like Stan??? that but mabel the opposite way. do you see the vision?#also the fact the two pines bill hates are Dipper and Stan. I win again#THE BILL-MABEL-FORD PARALELLE BUBBLE MIGHT NEED ITS OWN POST BC I HAVE THOUGHTS

There’s something fundamentally kind of. sick? In the atmosphere of Buffy, but the characters manage to exist as goods in it despite it all, and maybe that’s what feels sick about it (sick as in ill, or not whole). It seems like all the bigger things are evil and all the original and fundamental things are bad and the only thing standing against them is a few people who shouldn’t have to. And are too small to. It’s about the crushing weight of responsibility without the relief of it being just a part of something bigger.
#it’s a sense of meaninglessness to the good in the world!#that’s kind of the backdrop. ancient cult objects associated associated with mass murder get meaning but there’s no equivalent that they#recognize at least!#there are crosses everywhere but they don’t look at them! it’s just a tool#everything is a tool! Buffy is a tool! because she’s someone that has to be responsible and do her duty#without admitted space for her to be a human being#it’s there! her friends give her the space! but the narrative doesn’t recognize it#and there’s nothing bigger than her to give her the space!#it’s the narrative demanding a girl be God and that is going to destroy her! because a girl can’t be God! but she’s got no alternative!#idk it’s in the way the myths are rewritten so before humans the world belonged to evil demons#that’s the backdrop for the whole story#and they want it back. and Buffy has to fight till she dies and longer just so they can’t have it for right now#it’s Wrong!! it’s Not True! that backdrop!#but the characters can’t exactly escape operating in the true worldview behind their backdrop#they can’t escape redemption and love and hope and even God to some extent even though those things are all draped over with a nasty#drop cloth of a backdrop like furniture covered in a house that everyone’s pretending or convinced is unusable because they’ve covered it#but occasionally someone dares to break the rules! Spike says he like this world because there are some good things in it! he treats someon#decently that no one else would treat with respect and he says no love should be forever!#Buffy sacrifices herself with hope and says she wasn’t in it hell she was someplace she was complete and loved#but she just can’t say God!#it’s. lie to me!#that’s it exactly. that’s what it is#what they believe is the world is evil comes from demons things are meaningless in themselves except as tools#but sometimes they have to tell themselves what they think is a lie. things will be happy. bad is defeated. good wins. lie to me and tell m#it will be ok so I can do the thing I have to do#but it’s not! a lie!#if this were smallville it would know it. I’m hoping maybe Buffy will throw me a bone here too. know it!!#magpie watches btvs

The whole thing about Ms Saluzzo’s first name is so fucked. Besides being named after a region that is named after a slur, the name itself has nothing to do with her character, she’s not from or at all related to that region of the world or it’s in-game equivalent. She’s based on the extinct Newfoundland wolf which was native to Canada (as a counterpart to Texas being based on the extinct Texas wolf from Texas), and that she’s a member of an in-universe mafia family from in-universe Italy. I have no idea why they didn’t call her Newfoundland, since that’s what they did for Texas. But because she’s been in the game and named that for years and because she’s a popular character with fans they’re probably never going to change it. And we can try our best and make as many posts as we can to make sure as many people who play the game know not to say or use her first name, but without actually having her in-game name changed effectively like trying to fix a broken dam with duct tape. It’s a really shitty situation and I keep coming back to the thought “hey, why did they name her that???”
#miss saluzzo#I won’t pretend I don’t like her either. she was one of my favorite characters before I found out. now I’m just conflicted about her#because the idea of saying ‘yeah she’s my favorite character but hers name’s a slur so don’t say it’ obviously sounds wrong

saw tags on @lottieurl ‘s post and now I find myself also asking the question what does saira think about gay marriage. she hates straight marriage because of its patriarchal origins and family trauma ofc… does it extend to gay marriage? is she talking about the Islamic concept of marriage or the social/economic model of marriage? does she distinguish between the two? does she know that there are imams who do gay marriages? does she know she wants to get gay married? to amin-
#many many thoughts#plsssssss I need to know what do you all think#in my very very humble opinion I think she is primarily talking about social/economic marriage AND the practice of Islamic marriage when it#abused and manipulated by men#i don’t know if she distinguishes between the ideal Islamic model of marriage and how it is actually practiced by human beings but I do so t#that’s my bias talking#tbh some ppl r surprised to learn that there are imams who do gay marriages so i don’t know if she knows#Possivly is it one of those situations where what she abhors from a man she would love from a woman? maybe#tbh I think she is aware of her queerness but has not accepted it specifically because of the internalized homophobia you sometimes get when#there’s already so many other things quote unquote wrong with you. or so many ways you have already failed in the eyes of society#that it is simply too overwhelming to think about exploring that part of yourself In Real Life Permanently#I’m also fully projecting bc that’s how I was with my transess I was like well this is hard so I will pretend it is not true.#saira sherwani#we are lady parts#walp

i am once again disappointed but not surprised at the COD fandom only caring about “sensitivity” when it’s convenient for them
#telling people it’s morally wrong to simp for makarov#whilst simping for graves or valeria#or ANY character in this damn series#just shows that you only give a shit about ‘sensitivity’ when it doesn’t inconvenience you#‘but he’s bad :(’ my brother in christ. let’s talk about western militaries#price nikolai and gaz literally kidnapped and tortured an innocent woman and child#the UK and US militaries have DEVASTATED vulnerable countries#y’all wanna talk about sensitivity?? then acknowledge how even the ‘good’ characters like the 141 are shitty!#none of these characters are good people!#i cannot stress this enough. eliminating characters because they’re ‘problematic’ eliminates the entire cast. every single one of them.#MAYBE farah would be safe?? i’m not knowledgeable enough to say for certain. but everyone else— 141. los vaqueros. laswell. alex. nikolai. +#valeria. graves. every last warzone operator. EVERY single character is ‘off-limits’ with that logic.#COD fandom is also horribly racist despite pretending it’s not. notice how people only talk about this when it’s white folks being impacted#no one gave a shit when a middle eastern woman and child were kidnapped and tortured. or when fans were romanticizing cartel violence.#or how the SAS CIA and Delta Force have histories of terrorizing vulnerable people; especially in the middle east and asia#i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again before anyone accuses me of smth false:#sensitivity is important. it can co-exist with letting people enjoy problematic things. the source itself is problematic —#ergo. everything that comes from it (even the ‘good’ things) is as well.#you can’t cherry pick which characters people are allowed to be critical of. you can have your faves and have the ones you dislike#but don’t act like you’re doing something noble when your sensitivity is biased.#sylph.talks

People who call trans women trans men and vice versa as an attempt to misgender them make me laugh. Fool. You just look like a fool.
#Makes me sad too but its funny that theyre so lacking in brain cells (also I didn’t mean “you” as in the reader. Unless you’re a transphobe.#Tw transphobia#“He’s this “trans man!” pretending to be a woman” ok shut up she’s a trans woman and you honestly just seem jealous of how pretty she is#Like what#what goes on in peoples minds#They know it’s wrong cause I heard them say they were purposely doing it#They don’t even hid that they’re just spewing hate#They walk up to people and say “I hate trans people” instead of hi I’m not even kidding#Like who is the one being weird here

hey. have you seen the prologue & epilogue of the Kenadian & Wifies april fools collab??? they're on Wato1876's (the one who actually built the prison for the whole collab) channel and holy fuck theres even more going on than it seems?????
YES OMG. if this is just a one off april fools joke I’m going to be so sad. this thing has been consuming my brain since yesterday.
I’ve been trying to make sense of this for over an hour. Here’s what I think happens chronologically: -Wato and Omz Mask Wifies build the main escape room together
-The prologue happens at some point during this (except the lore bits, which happens after Evil Wifies’ death)
-Kenadian plans to debunk Wifies and enters the room
-The clone of Wifies (I’m just going to call him Wifies for simplicity’s sake) spawns in and the main videos occur.
-Evil Wifies dies in the trivia and Omz Mask Wifies goes through the escape room (end of Wifies’ video and the epilogue.)
What’s really got me confused is the prologue and the multiple Wifies. I differentiated between Evil Wifies and Omz Mask Wifies, because if they are the same person/entity/whatever, it raises a lot of questions for me. Omz Mask Wifies exists before the main videos, when the prison is being built, as shown in the epilogue. But, from what I can tell, in the main series of videos, Evil Wifies is not wearing a head. This could be an oversight, but with all this planning that seems to have gone into it, I’m not sure how this could be just a mistake. On first watch, it does seem like Omz Mask Wifies is just Evil Wifies after death, but the epilogue seems to contrdict that.
Evidence that Evil Wifies is Omz Mask Wifies: It seems like the intention with the way the videos are presented, Omz Mask Wifies is wearing a Wifies head upon spawning in the escape room
Evidence that Evil Wifies is not Omz Mask Wifies: Omz Mask Wifies helped build the prison, Evil Wifies likely isn’t wearing a head in the main videos.
I don’t know. The prologue and epilogue have caused me so much pain. What is the cabin looking thing that appears for a second? How did Wato get there in the epilogue? Who is the other person Wato mentions in the epilogue? If Wato and Omz Mask Wifies built the prison together, what is their relationship to each other?
In the prologue, when Wato falls into the escape room, he is in the Omz Mask Wifies skin- You can see the Wifies hand in the video. Is his confusion there for the video’s sake, or is he actually confused why he’s there? The thing that makes the most sense to me is that it’s for the video’s sake, but I’m honestly not sure. Everything seems to be really deliberate so far, so I can’t tell. Omz Mask Wifies and Wato have to have some sort of connection- they either are the same person with some sort of amnesia thing going on, or they’re closely connected and there’s another memory thing is going on, or Wato is putting on a very convincing lie in the epilogue (I don’t believe that Wato is lying. Just a possibility).
I think there’s definitely something going on with Wato and Omz Mask Wifies- I don’t believe they’re the same person, as we see both of them show up, but there’s definitely something going on there. We see both Wato and Omz Mask Wifies enter the mansion or whatever, and Wato enters considerably later- during the daytime with the redstone torch gone, and looks very confused to see it.
I think Wato is an unknowing accomplice. He builds the maps, for one of the Wifies, and him and Omz Mask Wifies are connected in a way I haven’t pieced together yet. I believe that Omz Mask Wifies and Evil Wifies are not the same person- I can’t make sense of the timeline if they are.
Long story short, I’m very confused, but this is what I’ve put together so far.
#let’s pretend this didn’t take me over two hours to figure out and I don’t even have a theory#kenadian#wifies#for the record it is entirely possible that Omz Mask Wifies and evil wifies are the same person and they needed a way to differentiate them#in the scenes when they’re building the escape room. but I feel like we could’ve understood it was Evil Wifies without that#by the way I did realize the cabin thing was where they were questioning Wato I’m just an idiot sometimes.#I’ve never really been a theorist or analyzed anything outside of english class so. this is just what I got from things after watching#the videos a million times. and honestly all of this might be wrong but I had to figure SOMETHING out#KWW Collab

How life feels after I block the people who are obviously using AI to create their content
#[rawbin]#Please do not pollute fandom spaces with your AI content#ESPECIALLY don’t try to label it as your own.#not gonna name any names in case I’m wrong but man.#some of u barely even try to hide it 😭😭😭#I can very rarely tell when something is AI and usually need it pointed out to me so you know it’s bad when *I* can tell#It’s so inconsiderate and plainly weird to pretend as if you’ve written something when you only typed in a prompt for the AI :/#I’m not gonna judge students who use AI to help them write essays too hard cause like. I get it it’s tough#but don’t fucking use that shit for what’s meant to be CREATIVE WRITING in a fandom space it’s so gross and dishonest#I get you want recognition and you want to be known and you want to have an audience but it’ll be so much more rewarding for EVERYONE if -#- you just put in the effort to do that yourself.

Ok here’s the thing— I like Kurama/Hiei as much as the next YYH fan. But can we all agree that some of y’all are a little rabid when it comes to this ship in a Not Cute kind of way and I BETTER not see any hating on the LA Netflix adaptation because there’s no canon gays in the main 4.
Like can we please just watch a thing and not be rabid ship-mongers for once.
#don’t get me wrong#I love ships#I ship yusuhi#and kurahi#and kurakuwa#and Kuwameshi#I’m on board all the time#but like…. can we please not pretend like we’re gonna be getting some kind of shipping canon or confirmation and hyping up hopeful shippers#who are just gonna turn nasty when they don’t get fed the way they want#yyh#yu yu hakusho

Look, I didn’t use to buy into the theory that Tyril & Mal have some kind of relationship happening, even in playthroughs where MC isn’t romancing either of them. But after this chapter…
… all I’m saying is, I can see the potential 🫢
#it’s giving vibes of ‘i love you and i can’t keep pretending that doesn’t mean anything/i can’t keep watching you almost destroy yourself’#don’t get me wrong – i know that sort of thing can happen in a friendship too#and in cases where MC is romancing Tyril and/or Mal i think it *is* a friendship – because they seem too exclusively devoted#but in cases where MC isn’t romancing either of them… 🫠#i’m super curious to see if PB explicitly goes there tbh#(there is also a subpoint to all this for situations where MC *is* romancing Tyril and/or Mal#which is: imagine how angsty it would be if they got into a relationship *specifically while MC was gone*#a grief-fuelled choked-off unhealthy thing where they never actually spoke about how they felt#and now it’s over but they’re still picking up the pieces#if any fanfic writers see this and are inspired then know i would die to read something like that)#playchoices#choices: stories you play#blades of light & shadow#blades of light and shadow#tyril starfury#mal volari#mal x tyril#fandom essay#screenshots#original post
