decentering men and recentering urself⋆.ೃ࿔*:･💅🏽💓

the secret to decentering men and not having ur entire world revolving around them (bcuz it should be revolving around you, duh) is having a fulfilling life. it makes me ICK so bad when im watching a video or reading a post and im rly loving it, and then it'll find SOME way to make it revolve around men. like can we not?…💬🎀

WHY WE CENTER THE OPPOSITE SEX ;

a lot of people find themselves centering their lives around the opposite sex in an attempt to fill a void within themselves. they do it because they aren't happy with themselves or their lives, or maybe its learned behavior. whatever the reason is, its NOT hot.

some things that someone who centers men might think are "oh my life is so boring, maybe it would be spiced up if i got with a man" or "maybe it'll bring some excitement into my day" like EUGHHH. obviously the solution is to find ways to make our lives fulfilling but how do we do that? and how do we get to the root cause and squash this self sabotaging behavior?

SELF AWARENESS ;

if u have nothing going on for u, ofc ur gonna be energetically desperate and accepting anything and EVERYTHING. practice self awareness and try to get to the root cause of why u center men through things like shadow work, therapy, or just straight up having an honest conversation with urself cuz i swear it helps.

when you make the conscious effort to build ur dream life you'll notice that people that are on the same mindset as you will vibe with the REAL you. the need to fake/adjust urself to fit in with other people will dissipate because ur fitting into ur own standards and ur connections will be more meaningful because of it.

TAKE UR POWER BACK ;

no ones actions should ruin ur day or make u upset for more then a day (even less) cuz its YOUR world. 💕🍰

make time for YOU, doll. plan self care routines for urself every week. doing face masks, journalling, vision boarding, WHATEVER U LIKE TO DO. making time for urself reminds u that ur the main character of ur life so u dont have to settle for crumbs.

stop giving that power to someone else and dictate how u feel, NOT the actions of a significant other or the opposite sex or anybody. the reason why its important to make sure that ur the center of ur own life is so that you can be happy and fulfilled regardless of if there is a man or if there isnt a man present. so the objective is to decenter men -> and then put yourself at the center

GET A HOBBY ;

find something to make ur life fulfilling. pursue ur OWN interests and try out different hobbies if ur unsure of what ur interests are yet. cultivate ur world to the point where it GLEAMS with perfection and then do a little extra. build a life that u love so much that whether u get male attention or validation doesnt even matter cuz their opinions have little to no relevance 💀

challenge yourself: next time you catch yourself thinking, ‘would a guy like this?’ flip it and ask urself "hey, do i like this?" start checking with yourself first instead of checking with others.

MAKING THE DECISION TO DECENTER MEN ;

decentering men simply means that ur deciding to no longer think, feel, act, dress, or plan ur life around a man or for the validation of any man…💬🎀

relationships will actually get BETTER when u decenter the opposite sex. cuz ur not looking for someone to compete with and ur whole on ur own. this sets the stage for balance and mutual respect and THATS hot.

you can be in a relationship and still decenter men. decentering men simply means that you are the priority, not the relationship. how can we tell if we're decentering men or not? here are a few questions to help you know if u are ->

if i did not care about looking good to the opposite sex what would i actually like to wear?

if i did not get married, how could i create the best and most abundant life for myself?

what hobbies/interests do i have that dont involve being around men/have male attention as a component of it?

[caruliaa]

personally i dont think karen using ziggs correct pronouns is like proof the chasitys r like so awesome and chill abt trans ppl like . legit feel like they arent like everyones entitled to their opinions on it yk ofc but imo it kinda takes away from the commentary of the harm of fundamentalist xtian views esp when they r canonically homophobic ones and ones clearly based in like. gender roles to act like transphobia isnt part of those harmful views yk but like i do have my own takes on those lines in hatchet town being. number 1 the kindaa boring one lol is that the songs in the show are non diagetic yk so its kinda like when ur telling a story abt ur friend whos nonbinary and like their mom or whoever is transphobic or theyre not out to her nd u have to mention smth their mom said abt them in the story but its not at all relevant to the story tht theyre closeted to her or she doenst respect their identity and like regardless u dont wanna deadname nd misgender ur friend so ur gonna say it like she was using the right name and pronouns assuming ur talking to someone theyre out to right. what im saying is the meta narrative (and also team starkid bc i suspect the real not in universe reason is they didnt wanna misgender both the character and their actor whos actually non binary which is like rly valid nd fair yk like esp in the instance of the simple hatchet town cameo irrelevent to any other hypothetical commentary i think itd feel less like an actual commentary on transphobia and more like. just pointless and somewhat transphobic in an of itself yk) is ziggs friend in this analogy and its not going misgender them even if it is repeating something karen said thank you very much ! and number 2 the less boring one is that ziggs nonbinary swag is so powerful tht the transphobes of hatchetfield dont know how to misgender them so theyre forced to respect their identity bc they dont know how to disrespect it lol

[dovveri]

I don’t understand MDNI (minors, not men) cuz like… you can’t stop someone from seeing your posts, u know? like it’s a free and open app without private accounts, people will see what you post and surely u are looking at every account that likes ur stuff.

I guess to me it’s only weird if you the adult make it weird- like if you genuinely think having a two second conversation with an a minor about a story is weird then… idk I think it says a lot about u as a person.

What do you think? What would you do if one of ur mutuals was a minor (like, idk 17/16 definitely not -15)? Ur my favorite writer on here and im always curious to read ur opinions!

the way u had to clarify minors not men bcs i misunderstood last time and went on one of my man-hating rampages HAHAHAHAH

but yeah i mean to me personally, like i read nasty fics when i was a minor and ik many people have asw like ao3 is a free site

if one of my moots was a minor id try not to interact w them as much but idk like as an aussie i dont think pedophilia is as big of an issue here as it is in america bcs i think when i interact w ppl online its mostly americans that are v wary of interacting w minors - saw sth that was like on american beaches we cant have our kids run around naked which was so crazy to me bcs i was like huh why? there are so many naked kids everywhere in aus at public pools, waterparks, beaches etc. until i realised its bcs adults are perving on the kiddies and i was so disgusted bcs pedophilia is just not sth i think abt on the day to day whereas it seems in the states it is a major concern

but again - i dont think its the adult as a person, i think its the stigma thats been built around pedophilia and people are just cautious not to do anything thatd overstep, and that includes providing pornagraphic material to minors (smut writing) or just accidentally saying sth that could land them in a lot of trouble OR not even sex related ik a few of my friends have been groomed and that trauma lasts into adulthood but unconscious grooming in the form of just telling an impressionable minor to do this or that or shaping them to become someone u like or someone u wanna be around is also dangerous

theres just too many factors and yes i understand that i cant rly stop minors from interacting w my blog but i put minors dni there anyway in hopes that peopke will respect it as my decision as an author and a creator - im not gonna police it but in the case an issue arises i can say i had this in my bio and im not responsible for any actions the minor may have taken of their own account despite my warning

[matoitech]

rly the whole ‘but if being trans was just viewed as normal and respected would u still want to do anything to ur body’ is just a useless question and conversation in my opinion bcuz even if ppl dont Think they have hangups abt medical transition bcuz THEYRE trans so theyre not capable of needing to work on anything (they think), it tends 2 b just more of ppl not wanting trans ppl to have body autonomy and make decisions for ourselves abt what we want and need lol. yeah i guess we don’t know what it would be like in a Different World but we’ll never know that bcuz we dont live in that world. being trans is not viewed as ‘normal’ or respected, actually the opposite especially right now, as stupid and fucked up as it is, so there is no point in being like ‘well, in an alternate universe-’ who cares. cough up the insurance money to pay for my medical procedures. u can ‘debate about gender’ all u want but it isnt going to change the like actual material reality we live in

[scrambled-meat]

okay this is gonna be my cancellable opinion of the day

coming from someone that likes weed but also rarely smokes b/c i have the tolerance of a baby, am already anxiety-prone, n can green out rly easily: i dont believe in this "allergic to weed" shit

i dont doubt that weed-allergies exist, im sure they do, but i rly dont think its as common as ppl make it out 2 be.

yanno what i think is a lot more likely? u jus dont like weed, n dont like the way it feels 2 be stoned.

n yanno what? there is absolutely nothing wrong w that!!! that is completely valid. not everyone likes everything, dont ever let anyone call u a pussy or make u feel bad 4 not liking weed. i think that kinda peer pressure is fucking stupid, n a lotta ppl like 2 pretend peer pressure doesnt exist, but it absolutely does, esp w weed (at least in my experience) even more so than alcohol or nicotine. no means no! if ur not into that then ppl should fucking respect that.

i DONT want this 2 come off as "ur a pussy or a killjoy if u dont like weed." thats completely fine n totally valid!!

but what i am saying is u should jus call it what it is. ur not "allergic 2 weed," u jus dont like it.

u dont need 2 make up some category 2 make urself more of a victim. jus call it what it is.

!Dating Sukuna HeadCanons!

Scenario:-what would it be like to date ryumen sukuna?

Pairing:-sukuna x gn!reader{shell}

Genre:-fluff

Type:-headcanons

A/N:-i hopy you like this @shelly-stark-official! I tried:’)

Okay

SO

Sukuna is a little shit

But its fine cos so are you~

Honestly the fact that the kINg oF cUrSeS fell in love with your devious and scheming self was not a surprise

Especially not to yuuji(poor fella had to share all of sukunas thoughts abt you and while u and itadori were besties.sukuna wasnt um...thinkin of you in a um platonic way)

(Like at all)

So when buddy boi finally asked you out

And although it felt weird um datin someone who shared the same body as your best friend,you got used to it and yuuji learned not to be so awkward abt it too...

And the moment he suggested you play a (borderline sadistic) prank in yuuji,you paused for a sec before agreeing~

And the moment he suggested you play a (borderline sadistic) prank in yuuji,you paused for a sec before agreeing~

(You knew youd be able to use your quirk if something rly badd happened to him)

And lemme tell you ‘kuna fell even deeper in love~

Sometime you and him and yuuji go out for lunch and while yuuji is the one in control,sukuna opens up those lil mouths on yuujis palms and under his eye to talk to you.

You feed him fries and yuuji hates that the grease is getting on his face😭(ples apologise to our best boi 😔)

So many ppl were like legitimately scared of sukuna but to you he was just a little shit and honestly? I think yall’d be cutee together (i wanna be the ring bear! 🐻)

(I think ur dates would include LOTS of scheming but also bitchin,cos this man has THOUSANDS of yeaes worth of tea to spill and hearin abt ancient gossip is still funny as shit🙈)

Now a little on the powercouple dynamic~

I think that while yall would tease and joking insult eachother,if anyone else tried dishing out jabs in your respective directions the other wouldnt stand for it

Like if someone ELSE calls u idiotic,theyre begging for mercy in a second

And if anyone calls sukuna something insulting,you’re basically walkingg them upto deaths door urself

And if You ever mention how this means he cares abt you,he will in fact go into denial and completely invalidate your opinion on the subject

Furthermore if anyone ever speaks badly of the two of you as a couple (i.e. gossiping and such) yall would just completely ignore them

Like who cares if a barely succeeding apprentice sorcerer doesnt approve of your relationship?????

Yh thats right,no one!

And just to piss em off further,i think hed suddenly initiate a particularl Passionate kiss in front of the gossiper.

Suffice to say that shut em up,for better or worse

I dont really think sukuna would ever fully open up to anyone,not even his s/o.but every so often you do catch glimpses of who he is deep down.its usually blink-and-you-miss-it moments but youve caught some

He doesnt really carw about how open you are either but i think itd make him feel special if you are morw open and vulnerable with him.again,he rly doesn’t give a fuck but it just makes him feel a certain way,y’know?

please dont repost my work here as your own on any platform all rights belong to me except that of the characters used,their right belong to their respective owners.but these stories? mine.

feedback,likes,reblogs and comments are so very appreciated tbh :’)i hope you enjoyed and ill catch ya next time!

KDGSKACSKDVSLBSE. HI AMIA SO CAN I REQUEST PJSK BOYS WITH A READER WHOS,, OK THISLL BE GOOFY BUT LIKE A RLY YOUNG ATTOFNEY?? DONT ADK ME HOW BUT LIKE AN ATTORNEY AS A TEENAGER?? ? LIKE THEY TAKE A BUNCH OF CLASSES AND ARE SUPER SERIOUS AND ALWAYS DOING LAW WORK IN CLASS AND MAKING PHONE CALLS AND STUFF AND BONUS IF THEYRE ALWAYS DEBATING WITH PEOPLE

ok i love ur blog

-🦇 !!

hihi!! and weheh ty, forgive me for what I'm naming this/lh I hope you like this!! <3

♡ OBJECTION !! - Akito Shinonome, Toya Aoyagi, Tsukasa Tenma and Rui Kamishiro x Reader

Akito:

Akito definitely respects your drive! As someone who already struggles with normal school, he finds you very impressive-

He knows he'll get confused by your law work, so he doesn't ask. If you do tell him about it, he just stares at you in confusion-

He finds your seriousness really cute! Whenever you're not paying attention, he'll study your serious face with a lovey grin

There have been multiple times where he walked up to you to say something and just goes silent when he notices you're on the phone

He always appreciates your passion, but he makes sure that you're not overworking yourself!

Whenever he notices you debating with people, he just starts laughing at the other person- He admires you a lot though!

Toya:

Toya is definitely a better student than his singing partner, but your drive in law is still very admirable!

He asks if he can read your cases. If you do let him, he'll read it with you and give his opinions every now and then

He's more calm compared to everyone on this list, but your seriousness always makes him smile whenever he sees you

If he walks up to you and you're on a call, he just patiently stands/sits beside you. He's very good at waiting-

He's also the type to make sure that you're not overworking yourself, but in discreet ways. You'll be working and he walks in with food and drinks and kisses your forehead before leaving

He's not the type who debates with people, so he'll just stand off to the side whenever you're debating people-

Rui:

Rui is pretty smart himself, but he could never bring himself to do something as serious as law like you do-

He asks you about your law work every now and then, and is quite impressed by how much you deal with from day to day-

He doesn't take a lot seriously, so the two of you definitely contrast in that way. He's constantly grinning at you while you're just serious

Whenever you're on call, he tries to make you laugh! If he ever succeeds, he just grins at you with that usual smug look

He will leave food for you when he notices that you've been working too long. They might be really sweet snacks, but it's the thought that counts!

He teases people more than debates them, but he can be good backup if you're trying to debate someone and make a point! He'll just nod and agree with you-

Tsukasa:

Tsukasa has always been more on the creative side, so he's definitely very impressed by you!

He asks you about your law work, and will just listen to you with sparkling eyes. Even if he doesn't understand, he thinks it's cool!

He's also someone who isn't that serious, so you can imagine how you both look with him being all loud and dramatic while you watch him with a serious face

There have been a lot of times where he was being loud before he realized that you were on a call. He apologizes profusely afterwards-

If he thinks that you've been working for too long, he will literally scoop you out of your chair and make you take a break. No point in overworking if you're too tired!

He doesn't really debate people, so he'll watch you with wide eyes. He tries to learn how to debate from you, but he can't really grasp it-

[strawberryseeded]

no shoujo manga no life etc but even tho i very much enjoy literally every typical shoujo beat, themes, events, long etc, i cant help but notice more and more how the ideas of fashion/trendyness, make-up and weight loss are so intrinsically tied with the idea of 'love' and 'growth' and 'trying hard for ur partner/s/o’ in a way thats... tbh incredibly insidious, especially since most of the time its framed in a cutesy way. like... i get it, trust me. i get the meaning behind it. its about methamorphosis. its a conceptual/visual methaphor to show how a character is making changes on the inside (which manifest outwardly). the occidental version of this wud be the (infamous) classic ‘glow up’/’makeover’ scenes in romance movies (which has already been discussed and dissected, and deservedly so, infinite times)

but the thing is.. when theres an entire chapter dedicated to the weight loss of an already skinny character (and btw, the conclusion is, in fact, that you absolutely should not get fatter if you respect yourself), or multiple plot points feeding into the idea that not putting ‘enough’ effort in the way you look is immature (a notion that makes sense from a societal point of view, tbh. but its such a complex matter that when its simply glossed over it just ends up sounding...bleak, in my opinion), or whole ARCS about unkept 15 y/o girls who didnt give a fuck abt her own appearence are now self-conscious and thats good actually..... well that just sucks, you know

maybe its not all (most of it, at least) as in-your-face as im making it sound, but still. its.. its bad dude. obviously i wud not love shoujo manga as much as i do if it always were so fucking cringe. the genre has so many beautiful stories to offer. so many lovable characters with immense growth, and actually very complex & difficult themes that it explores in very nuanced and mature ways!!!!!!!!! its just that i dont rly agree with the way a loooot of them handle the topic of beauty standars (for young girls and women especially).

like, 4 ex im reading this cute af story which could have been handle very poorly in the wrong hands, since it deals with toxic behaviours in romantic relationships. but its. so fucking well done?? it explores all the gray areas in suchhhhh a respectful way, and never sacrificing the heart-warming feel/overall positiveness of the series.. but when it comes to the topic i previously mentioned? i feel it lacks a bit of.. deconstruction, i guess its the word?

[kalofi]

Hey mx lofi I know nothing about sk8 so could u tell me if it’s genuinely worth watching or legit just gaybait?

ok i have a few things to say abt this

i LOVE sk8 i thought it was such a fun and exciting show and one(if not the only?) shounen-y skateboarding animes out there so obv it has moments of skateboard skills that r just not humanly possible but its an anime so. lmfao. but overall it stays p true to the heart of skateboarding!! awesome animation cool characters (except. well. we'll get to him) and just an overall eye catching aesthetic ❤️ v cool v swag v epic

there is ONE character whom i hate so dearly 🥰 i hope to kill him until he dies hes basically the hisoka of sk8 in which he is obsessed with a child due to their "skill" but its played in an almost romantic way and he calls them the EVE to his ADAM (his name is adam btw). so yea hes a freak i hate him sm if shit like that makes u uncomfy just. steer clear of this show i know there were some parts where i had to pause and take a walk around my bedroom bc i was so angry and uncomfortable when he was in a scene

putting THAT to the side, the show is also p focused on the whole bromance narrative so there r limited female characters and the one girlboss we DO get just putters around for a few episodes then gets kicked out like wtf 💀 its not my biggest gripe but it made me a lil salty lol

but id say despite that it is a v worth while watch tbh!!! i had so much fun binging the first couple episodes, then consequently waiting one week for every new one BDJFKNSKDOD i got hooked real fast, the main characters (reki (reki my beloved) and langa) have such good chemistry they r so fun and sweet together and the ensemble cast is amazing too, joe n cherry n miya n shadow deserve the world and more. ALSO. sk8 has made me laugh out loud so many times there r loads of silly moments to giggle at 🙏🏽

now moving onto the topic of queerbaiting...

first things first. there is a post out there somewhere talking abt this in better detail but i couldnt find it so i'll try to put it into my own words. u shouldn't rly look at sk8 thru a western viewpoint of whats queerbaiting or not.

in the western world, while still not as prominent or accepted as cishet relationships, lgbtq relationships r a lot more present, mainly bc they r allowed to b. now this is not to say that its sooooo easy to make queer relationships appear on the big screen, they still face a lot of backlash from ppl even IF the entertainment industry has made good steps in being inclusive. with this im just trying to point out that while still not normalized completely yet, lgbtq representation is easier to produce/consume

in this way, i personally dont believe sk8 was gaybaiting or queerbaiting at ALL. pls feel free to correct me if im wrong, im not the most knowledgeable on the subject, but it is arguably harder to produce or animate queer relationships in Japan, especially if its meant to be a shounen-type anime.

thru claiming sk8 is queerbaiting by not animating their two leads kissing or confessing to each other or whatever, u r discrediting everything else that makes reki and langas relationship so special. no they do not profess their love for each other under the light of the moon, but they are shown time and time again to care very deeply for each other, to push each other to b and do their best, they are shown to b very physically affection, to have have a strong bond built not only on a mutual love of skateboarding, but a mutual respect for one another

if u RLY wanna get shippy tho (not judging) there are a few moments that rly cement how much they like/care abt the other sprinkled throughout the show. i wont get into too much detail to avoid spoilers, but while one of the main characters is talking to his mom, she thinks he is asking her how to confess to a girl when he says he "likes the person." the same main character tells the other he wants to "skate infinitely" with him. which is pretty gay in and of itself if u ask me

so, from all that, i would say the producers, directors, animators, voice actors, and everyone who worked on this show did the best they could in terms of getting the ship as close to canon as they could what with all the restrictions they had to tiptoe around. i was pretty satisfied with the ending (bar the small complaints mentioned previously) and i know a lot of other ppl were too!! again, deffos worth watching in my opinion

this got kind of rambly so sorry for that but i hope this clears some stuff up, and if u end up watching it i hope u enjoy!

p.s. if u truly r desperate for ship content (again, not judging) u can always check the dub and the content that comes with it! the english VAs r very vocal abt their love for the ships in the show so u can get ur share of that from there ❤️

[honeytonedhottie]

take care of YOU first⋆.ೃ࿔*:･🍭

taking care of urself ISNT selfish. its NECESSARY and in this post i'll talk about how to put urself first more without feeling guilty, cuz u shouldn't feel guilty for doing whats best for u…💬🎀

MAKE YOUR PRIORITIES CLEAR ;

make ur priorities clear not only to urself but also to the people around you. if ur priorities aren't clear to you then how are you going to make smart decisions? you need to know what matters to you. some of my priorities are (in this order)

♡ myself

♡ my future

♡ my education + family

everyone's priorities will look different and dont compare your priorities to other people's priorities, and dont feel bad if ur priorities are different from the people around you. honestly i think the only thing that should be constant (in my opinion) is that yourself should be at the top of ur priorities.

BALANCE COMMUNICATION ;

u shouldn't be bending over backwards to answer every phone call, email, or text message. if ur doing something, its okay to be like "hey im busy, i'll get back to you" and you shouldn't feel bad for doing so. thats just you respecting ur own time and doing what u have to do.

i dont rly have this problem cuz im not the best communicator but i do make an effort to get back to people when i can. and its not even like u purposely being unavailable for the people u care about, its just u doing what u need to do first and then getting back to people when u can.

CUT THINGS OUT ;

if u have someone in ur life who is simply taking up space and isnt pouring into u in the way that u are doing for them, then u can cut them off. for example guys who wanna be in the talking stage for a billion years, or people who just like to yap and waste ur time.

if ur not getting something out of a relationship or connection to someone else then u dont HAVE to keep them around. and ik that sounds harsh but people shouldn't be able to walk in and out of ur lives when they please, people shouldn't be able to take ur time and energy and not give anything back. u deserve friendships that are RECIPROCAL. connections with people that SERVE U.

INVEST IN URSELF ;

whatever makes ur life easier, better, healthier, whatever brings u closer to ur goals or makes u feel beautiful is an investment. that includes doing ur nails, doing ur hair or makeup. buying that dress, paying for that course, or paying a little extra for a wellness shot. INVEST in urself cuz you are ur biggest investment.

DONT LET PPL INFILTRATE UR SCHEDULE ;

dont get so caught up in showing up for other people that u forget to show up for yourself. make sure that ur managing ur time wisely and doing what u need to do before u go and say "yes" to invitations or hang outs with friends.

💘 💗 for the oc headcanon meme!

✨ @emptyvictory​. meme. still accepting!

💘 HEART W / ARROW - what traits do they look for in a relationship? do they believe in love at first sight?

oh god vi really... hates the concept of love at first sight, mostly cuz he’s too curious and prodding of a person. he’s very skeptical. why would he let himself fall in love at first sight? what about their politics? what about their direction in life? what about their views on just... everything? there’s too much to consider when it comes to that lgkdfjgdfk. lol he just can’t deal with the concept of love at first sight. it’s too lofty. it’s not realistic.

anyway virote really looks for someone that can really... level him out. he’s a very intense person. he’s kinda boisterous and obnoxious so someone who is on the opposite end of the spectrum for him is a+++ :))) and tbh? vi just needs to chill the fuck out a lot of the time. he spends so much of his life stressed tf out. his brain is a busy, busy place. let’s get to the long-short of it all:

will communicate with him and willing to talk things through.

respects his opinions and his thoughts. he’ll do the same in return.

understands his thought process, as troublesome as it is.

also he just wants to have a lil fun... if ur down to have a good time, he’s outchea ready for it! virote doesn’t look for much. just a pair of strong arms and some type of understanding. Let Him Feel Held™ .

💗 GROWING HEART - if they have a crush, is it noticable? what changes when they're in love?

nothing really changes for him. virote’s at that age where he doesnt have that ‘ oh ’ moment. he just feels it and accepts it. it feels good, so he just lets it wash over him. he doesnt want love to feel like anxiety or butterflie. he wants love to feel like him settling in his most comfortable self.. his feelings.. virote always manages to let them be known because even tho he might be timid in that way, he’s also blunt. and he’s bad at keeping his feelings to himself. he’ll let you know.

his behavior rly dont change. what u see is what u get with him! he’s very forward and honest, even if it makes his brain hurt. i think that comes from the fact that virote, in general, is a very open, sweet person.

if u dont piss him off.

love just feels like another piece falling into place.

I rlly like your prmare takes and i think that if u wanna talk more abt galo and autism that'd be great! (take this ask as your chance to do so)

THANK YOU ANON AND GODD I COULD WRITE ONE MILLION ESSAYS ABT IT ALL I STILL WANT TO MAKE MY LIKE LONG YOUTUBE VIDEO ESSAY ABT IT ALL BUTITS SO MUCH its so much stuff to find and put together into a coherent thing that makes sense bcuz to fully explain id have to go over autistic characters and disability in media in general, gets down deep in2 ableism and violence against autistic ppl... its a lot! and its rough so.. not smth i will talk abt rn <3 i have enough

anyway i dont even know where to begin ive talked so much abt it and im trying to figure out what to talk abt that isnt me like getting in2 the not fun part of a huge part of Knowing galo autism bcuz of allistic fan response + how trigger wrote him but yeah i think sooo much abt galo bcuz fave character but also galo autism SO REAL and genuinely a huge part of why i love him like galo would NOT be galo without being autistic which is why so many fics n shit ive seen just dont rly feel like him lol, ppl either go like insultingly ableist portrayel or they scrub his personality away to be nothing but existing as sexy eye candy for lio. there is SUCH an interesting character here that ppl want to flatten and i do not get it!!! in canon his character and relationships ESPECIALLY with lio are all written around him being autistic its a major part of his character n understanding his relationships w other characters and even the narrative, i would say 'even if it wasnt intentional' but u do not say what they did to him in the ova and have that not be intentional like there is some level of intention here even if thats not smth theyd ever talk abt. sometimes ppl talk abt like subtle homophobia within the narrative and promare universe that obviously leads to galo and lio connecting and vibing and how important their relationship is to both of them which is true! but i think too reading them both as autistic (galo Is and lio bcuz It Makes Sense and makes their relationship even more interesting) and understanding how tha autism has everything to do with galos relationships and feelings abt his place in the world especially is also rly important to understanding them! like whenever ppl act like galo has no understanding at all of anything similar to what lios been through and he has no understanding of oppression or discrimination like hes not aware to SOME extent of the world hes living in and situation hes in (INSERT TANGENT ABT THE LAKE SCENE PROVING GALO AND AINA FEEL SUFFOCATED W THE EXPECTATIONS THEYRE CARRYING) i just feel completely blown away bcuz not only is he gay but hes also autistic so like how does one walk away from promare thinking galo doesnt understand lio at all on that level even if the discrimination they face manifests differently w the burnish as like their worlds scapegoat, and working together and respecting and loving ppl even if u dont fully understand their situation n struggles. galo being autistic is JUST as important as galo being mlm in my bisexual man opinion and it bugs me that ppl act like galo being autistic is smth they can extract out of galo and out of the narrative and have it still b the same story and same character and same relationship w lio cuz no it obviously isnt! but fandoms have a hard time w that one

even tho trigger treats him like. well its Odd to say the least. he still ended up being like a rly good autistic character to me, i avoid saying stuff like Good Rep bcuz that is entirely based on ur own opinion and i liked him and i know autistic ppl see galo and r like You but saying 'good rep' implies like, trigger treated him great too and. i dont feel like getting in2 it ive talked abt it b4 but they treat him weirdly. anyway im constantly surprised when ppl treat galo autism like a headcanon or something too ITS KIND OF A PET PEEVE OF MINE RLY when i see ppl say galo autism 'headcanon' i feel like saying dont tiptoe around allistics comfort they dont even know anything abt autism why do they get to decide if a characters autistic lol! anyway yeah i dont even know what to say i just get rly excited abt galo and abt this bcuz like, huge part of my understanding of promare and the characters to me! maybe someday i rly WILL make that epic youtube essay

i did NOT proof read this i slapped it all down and am throwing it out in2 the world but i lovoelove talking abt it bahaha thank u anon if u want smth more specific or for me to elaborate on anything feel free 2 ask cuz i just rambled

[alukaforyou]

I know you've mentioned this before but you're not close with your parents. I just had an awful experience with my mom where I realized that she has a very low opinion of me and doesn't actually care about me as her child. How do you cope with you parents, if you don't mind me asking?

ya in my case i dont doubt they love me and have made lots of sacrifices for me, but ultimately, you are the arbiter of the love people give you, and i reject on some fundamental level the love my parents have for me - its not real love b.c they dont love ME, they love the idea they have of me. my parents rly kno jack shit abt me and i never rly talk to them abt anything meaningful to myself cuz i dont trust them - i hear the hurtful things they say abt other people which is 1. disturbing and 2. jokes on them cuz little do they kno they are insulting me too (like every time they shit on lgbt ppl or mentally ill ppl like bruh... i am that... lmfao..) and not just the whole fundamentally rejecting parts of me / my experience (aka... gaslighting... getting mad at me that One time i tried to open up abt depression / being suicidal and telling me "stfu no u arent, dont even say that shit" lmfao thx), they rly just dont listen to me Constantly, like Every time i try to educate them on race matters and whatnot theyre like loool silly girl u dont kno wat ur talking abt, actualy :3c and its so irritating not being taken seriously, ever so basically yea, im super done w. this "fam" and while i am grateful that they raised me p well and didnt do sketchy behavior like check my phone / comp, etc or physically abuse me.... like.... am i rly supposed to be grateful for that LMFAO if anything the fam gives me the lower most, maybe the lower 2 levels of the maslow's hierachy of needs (all the emotional support & unconditional love, i get from my friends, aka my found / real family) so i am super estranged from them & i dont rly seek their approval or w.e. in my case, my parents provide me / has provided for me housing and some degree of financial support (like... free housing.. free food... etc..) so thats p much the extent of how i see our relationship. like.. open ur purse ig? LOOOOOL and when i move out, im totally prepared to slowly drift out of their life like... y would i wanna spend time w. racists and terfs when... i could be seeing friends??? its a lil weird cuz on some level i am... attached to them cuz the whole ~family! blood relations~ concept but tbh in the very real future possibility that my fam disowns me / never sees me again for some dumbass reason, ig i wont miss them much. like nothing irritates me more than the expectation of having unconditional love / respect for ur family / elders (esp in asian / collectivist culture) because family is gacha and toxic people r toxic whether or not they happen to be ur relatives or w.e. ik its hard cuz ~its my mom!~ and ya sure maybe u have some good memories with her, or shes not toxic / hurtful / whatever *all* of the time, but none of us have to be begging for scraps. im sorry you didnt get the love & support & understanding we all deserve from our parents but.... family is gacha lol. id say, try to accept the good times and the shitty times and kno u dont rly have any obligation to stay in their lives as their child, and any reconciliation plans or the degree of "presence" you will have in their life is toootally up to you. also try to communicate first if you u r comfy with that, like really clearly let them know how they hurt you and see if you can salvage the relationship if you so desire. see my parents wont ever freakin listen to me so all avenues for communication are closed. i cite irreconciliable differences and choose to just shut them out of my personal life lol.

if you have the means at all to move out... that would b good.... but if not, just try ro hang in there and make ur home experience the most bearable as possible. see, my job is to have the most peaceful existance i can. so while i wanna fight w my parents and whatever, i just dont to save my own energy like im not here to educate or change ppl that wont listen. so i try to minimize my interaction w them and stay in my room most of the time. i also focus on my own hobbies like art or exercise or watch films or play / talk w my sister instead. having great friends that lov & support & uplift u is key. surround urself w ppl that appreciate you and value you b.c we are all precious and important and ofc. we'll make our own mistakes so we all rly need ppl who bring out the best in us! online friends are super valid as well, if u need more friends def try to join some online communities around ur own interests and meet wonderful ppl! hope that helped a lil.... sry for wat happened again.. i hope things get better for u!!

no I kind of get it. for me, I'm Filipino, not Latino exactly. but like,,, it's unfair to have to change a different language to fit the language of another just bc you refuse to understand our cultural differences.

ofc my opinions aren't representative of every Filipino, and I respect that. if somebody does want to use Filipinx or something, it's fine. But I don't want it to be because some white person told u that your culture is wrong, that your culture is non-inclusive when it's not.

let's remind everybody that prior to white colonization many cultures embraced different concepts of gender besides the gender binary of female and male. let's remind ppl that white ppl's understanding of gender is intrinsically different from a bipoc's understanding of gender. and before they point out that we're the ones who are oppressive, we remind them that they were the ones to enforce these oppressive beliefs in the first place.

NO YEAH THIS !!!!!!!! the why white ppl who helped to popularize the term act like its bc my culture or ur culture aren’t accepting of gnc ppl or think they’re misogynistic bc of the way grammar works like… im sorry but last i checked, white people arent the fucking pinnacle of inclusivity! im american & half white too so like im well aware!! look me in the eyes and tell me that u, as a white person, are more “accepting” because ur trying to tell latinos or filipinos what words in Our Own Languages we are and arent allowed to use. its like an extra bonus colonization almost heehee /s!!

ALSO YEAH i forgot to make the point in my post. BEFORE COLONIZATION our cultures had our own connections and relationships with gender that many of white ppl & cultures dont. it wasnt until colonization that the man/woman gender binary rly became what it is today. so seeing “latinx” (& i didnt even know filipinx was a thing til just now omg) promoted by white ppl is just SO performative/oblivious at best. at the worst, theyre trying to change how we speak and describe ourselves & enforce their idea of a gender binary. but if another latino wants to use the term latinx to describe themself, then go ahead! but ur last sentence 100% sums up how i feel about this
