Manwhore AU headcanon
I like to believe Manwhore Ody got home shortly after the war ended because he didn't have to deal with any of the bullshit that canon Ody has to deal with.
Like imagine: if only he seduced his way out of the whole Polyphemus situation, he wouldn't have pissed off Poseidon, meaning he would've got home pretty much immediately.
I'm not even saying he had to fuck Poly (he'd die), but he could've used his babygirl looks or something. Be like "I'm sorry about your sheep, pookie *bats eyelashes*", but no. He just had to abandon all reason and blind the cyclops before telling him his full legal name and address.

Home
(and pets I guess??)
The only thing I did,
that I didn't regret doing,
was taking you home with me.
Something happy after the last one!
So Yomiel has alot of regrets in the lost past years, but one thing he for sure didn't regret was definitely taking care of Sissel.
I am 100% sure Yomiel would have gone mad(or worse even) and plan the whole revenge thing WAY earlier if he never had met Sissel to bring him comfort. Since that mean he didn't have a Friend to talk with or see him and still make him Feel like a living person.
And that would have been pretty bad for Sissel as well, because he would never found someone who truly understands him too. And since he's still a fragile Kitten who's probably very hungry, he could die very easily, without the comfort of anyone. He would have been all alone.
Aka it could've been a bad time for everyone.
But luckily the man in red had his Son at that time, so everything's ended up (mostly) fine! :D
#Minovember#ghost trick phantom detective#ghost trick spoilers#ghost trick#sissel#ghost trick sissel#yomiel#ghost trick yomiel#I love them so muuuuuch...#Like if it wasn't for their friendship everyone's life would have been a disaster#If Yomiel never met Sissel he would have gone insane without the comfort of knowing what living feels like anymore#And end up killing everyone probably#Sissel would have never been able to help ANY of them if he wasn't there#Then Yomiel wouldn't have bring Sissel in the bag with him so no one could've have saved all of them#Since Missile couldn't have done it alone#Would missile even be there since Yomiel would have probably done all that revenge plan way earlier??#Tsuki_glitch art

Thinking about Mav being unsure of what Ice's eye color is
Of course he's not going to do the normal thing and ask the man, so he settles for finding ways to get up close and personal to try and see for himself without being obvious (-> he fails)
But every time he gets a close enough look they're different. One day they look blue but the next they look hazel. One moment they look brown but then he turns his head and a different light catches on them and they look almost green
It turns into one big game of "How close will he let me get? How much will he let me see?" And it's not until he's gotten to the point of being a breath away from Ice's face- close enough to brush lips- and standing under the bright white LEDs that he realizes that they're gray
#remove the the “r” and they're gay too#mav going insane because he can't narrow down ice's eye color while everyone else also goes insane because they're so fucking tired of the-#bullshit icemav courting ritual they're all being subjected to#mav is NOT subtle#what's that? you want to know they color of your wingman's eyes?#you could've just asked but no you want to get “close and personal”. ok gayboy#this was inspired by the fact mav refers to Ice as “Ice Eyes” in the novel#there is nothing normal about these freaks#top gun#pete maverick mitchell#tom iceman kazansky#icemav#maverick x iceman#iceman x maverick#long suffering rios#<- because you can't tell me goose (if he lived) and slider are not constantly banging their heads into the wall#as well as literally anyone in the general vicinity of icemav#they are SO stupid#5+ 1 fanfic when?#i cannot write for shit but if anyone does i will have your hand in marriage#val kilmer my mfing beloved#and his beautiful eyes

Sometimes I think about how 999 has Hongou live at the end while the rest of Cradle dies by his hand… Like, he is a vile person. Zero, the people explicitly trying to get revenge on him for Akane's murder, they left him alive. Vulnerable and in the trunk of a car driven by people who hate him, sure, but still alive, even knowing that he'd never regret his actions!!! He showed us that he wouldn't!! Zero gave him the MISSION to confess to his crimes or else deal with the Nonary Game, and he refused to confess, and killed people to avoid the crimes coming to light!!! He decided that he'd rather dig himself deeper than ever repent!!! And then Zero forces him to have his crimes exposed anyways. While ALIVE. While having the blood of the people he killed on his hands, with Zero avoiding getting her hands dirty.
#zero escape#zero escape spoilers#999 spoilers#999#gentarou hongou#ace 999#and like...#compare to ztd's ending question i guess. are you going to let the person who did this to you live?#even if it never happened in this timeline?#but in 999 the entire game puts hongou in a position where he ends up murdering MORE people. so yeah.#the narrative could've killed him easily and we'd all have gone ''yeah this is fair'' but instead he has to LIVE. WITH EVERYONE KNOWING IT#fucking WILD. drag this man through the mud some more (cheering)

Detroit Become Human and why does this game decide that the problem in society is individual people treating androids poorly because those androids are choking them out of the workforce and NOT the corporations and governments who deliberately designed the androids to do this
#AUGHHGHH#I promise you dbh is still one of my favourite games I really do#But ohhhhhhhjghh my GODDDD it makes me mad#Like ESPECIALLY this year. With artists and writers being so fucked by ai#Like the game has less than no sympathy for people who were screwed over by cyberlife deciding their labour wasn't worth anything#Like everybody has to be a strawman. Everybody has to be the violent 'android bad because (some vague reason that draws on the#'immigrants are stealing our jobs' line despite the fact that these things aren't equivalent at all)#Like yes. Robots being placed in positions where a real human would be paid a real wage to do that job is bad. This is a bad thing#But the game. Does not CARE#It's so morally neutral for cyberlife to be allowed to mass produce androids in the middle of a poverty epidemic that they created#It's fine! Says Detroit Become Human because everyone rendered homeless or struggling by this company's actions is a violent drug addict#Or something#It's like HUH#H U H#This game was so enamoured with it's weird bad civil rights allegory that it forgot that people do actually need jobs to uh. Pay to live#Because things are hell#And I think it could've been SO much better if the game acknowledged this AS WELL as acknowledging that no android chose this#Like a fresh deviant didn't ask to cause a real person to not have a job. The company who made them did#But dbh doesn't care. Cyberlife is morally neutral in this. I swear#Loses my mind this game is such a mess#Uhhh if anyone's reading this please don't get mad at me I promise I do really love this game. Like this game is the reason I#Met the love of my life. I am physically incapable of hating this game#I just think it's so worth discussing the ways it fails in (what I think is) a constructive manner#detroit become human#game analysis#I guess#If anyone has any contributions or disagrees with me I would LOVE love to hear. Genuinely I love talking about things like this#Essay in tags

it's interesting to me how kyo is always placing himself in wide open spaces - on the roof, near big/open windows, at the edge of the porch looking out to the garden. i think it can be reasonably assumed that he's actively seeking out open spaces because he knows his time with them is limited. meanwhile, yuki has very acute claustrophobia after being locked up in a dark room so many times as a child. he's okay in regular rooms but has full-on panic attacks when confined to a small, dark space like a closet. he must've recognized the impulse in kyo to find places that aren't dark and suffocating. i'm sure he had similar impulses when he started living with shigure. um. i don't know where i'm going with this. something about how yuki knows exactly what kyo's future hell will be like and still does nothing about it
#not that he could've done much of course#the whole point was that everyone was too deeply entrenched in the fucked up situation to stop it#but like!!! yuki knew that kyo would be living his genuine worst nightmare!!!#but he didn't say anything or try to sympathize or anything!!!#it goes to show just how poisonous trauma and abuse can be#and how much yuki Did Not Want to empathize with kyo#fruits basket#yuki sohma#kyo sohma#sage speaketh

Shigaraki/Tenko wanting to destroy the false sense of peace All Might and Heroes created
.⬇️.
Shigaraki/Tenko wanting to destroy everything that lead to the existence of that house, which he conceptualizes as the embodiment of rejection and injustice in the world. Be a Hero for the Villains.
.⬇️.
AFO basically literally created that house
.⬇️.
Shigaraki/Tenko helps defeat AFO
.⬇️.
Deku telling him 'you already destroyed it' is... apparently Shigaraki/Tenko having finally gotten rid of the true cause of (his) rejection and injustice? main antagonist's big problem that represents an overarching major issue of the story/in-universe society... solved? (main antagonist's big problem that represents an overarching major issue of the story/in-universe society not actually being the problem he thought it was but now also solved?)
.⬇️.
No longer a need for there to be a Hero for the Villains, Shigaraki/Tenko dies.
.⬇️.
Heroes not to be blamed in the first place. also fuck everyone else and all other 'actual' outcasts I guess.
#i understand that Tenko not having 'supposed' to be rejected doesn't mean the rejection didn't occur for the other League members#but taking that away from Tenko/Shigaraki - leader of the League of Villains - wanting to be their champion#symbolically being their collective grievances and wills condensed into one#taking that away makes the story a lot weaker#GOD what happened#nalslastworkingbraincell#honestly making everything AFO's fault#and making Tenko's main issue being his despair toward himself (created by AFO)#allowed for the (seemingly for now) clean resolution of 'get rid of the both of them' possible#It's AFO's fault? Kill him! Problem solved#Tenko's issue not actually *harm caused by other (non-AFO) people* but instead *harm caused by his self-conceptualization/his own self*?#Tenko's projecting his own self-loathing and anger onto the world and causing trouble for everyone and making his crusade meaningless?#let him die too. Pity but problem solved!#AFO gave him the specific quirk that was Decay because it was such a brutal and deadly quirk that would guarantee rejection#you cannot tell me he could've been fine after manifesting Decay if only AFO wasn't there to tell him he has an innate need to destroy#not after what we've seen of Shinsou and Toga#other 'normal' people would not have let him live a normal life#that *is* also very much a problem that should be addressed#but it was AFO who gave him Decay and Decay was also actually not naturally existing#so everything's fine! no changes for anyone!#all this could've been saved if this was transferred to AFO - AFO also seen as a victim of societal apathy#especially since he was BORN A TRASH RIVER RAT ORPHAN#but he's just a lonely guy who was too unpleasant to form real relationships#so. only real issue Hero Society ever had that needed to be addressed was civilians being too hard on Heroes#gotta love them more and demand less of them#yippee

Friends, tonight's Hero Forge theme is betrayal, heartbreak, and having entirely too many dogs.
Companion to this.
#kaesa op#mcyt#3rd life#ethoslab#tangotek#impulsesv#skizzleman#bigbst4tz2#(w/scar cameo)#jimmy solidarity#scott smajor#flower husbands#smallishbeans#hero forge#trafficshipping#(it was really hard to figure out who to put in the betrayal scene for BigB#the thing I am actually kind of insane about is the blue sword boys#like. grian and martyn parallel each other SO WELL. all in on their particular path.#and then there's bigb who's just playing minecraft survival like a normal dude#and every time he comes out of the ground shit's gotten weirder???#he's like I was just trying to build a zombie airbnb and I got drafted into a war and my cookie stolen DURING A TRIPLE HOMICIDE???#what I'm saying is he's an incredible foil to both of them#everyone could've just played normal survival! no one HAD to kill each other#but grian is a pyromaniac gremlin and martyn gets so carried away plotting backstabbing that he forgets to actually stab#but bigb. he just wants to live in peace in his cookie house.#in the end his membership in the red army does him no good#and grian rules-lawyers out of the situation like “aw this is awkward we can't kill bigb so we'll just watch you do it”#anyway you cannot put 3 humanoid figures into a heroforge mini#so I decided to parallel the map from the early-game figure w/the no-kill pass#because. bigb please do you really think scar wouldn't kill someone just because he said he wouldn't kill them???

I just saw someone say "I wasn't educated on politics so I didn't vote" then why didn't you educate yourself??? We all have little computers in our fucking hands guys this is kind of something to USE THEM FOR.
#you are quite literally capable of educating yourself you can't have everyone spoon feed you everything for the rest of your fucking life#EDUCATE YOURSELF#us politics#politics#like you could have searched stuff up online asked people questions and instead you just sat and did nothing#even if you are in an unsafe environment to vote you could've contributed by helping educate other people#but no. didn't educate yourself didn't educate others just sat there didn't vote because you weren't educated and didn't get educated#now people are being affected and you're like “that's so horrible”#“both sides are bad” “i'm not educated enough” man i'm fucking done dude your inability to comprehend the importance#of the lives of millions that will be affected by this orange fuck being in office will never cease to be astounding and infuriating#don't fucking try to argue with me rn i'm angry don't feel like it i'm just gonna block#sure the democrats need to run better campaigns but i'm gonna be real with you even the WORST FUCKING CAMPAIGN EVER RAN#IN THE HISTORY OF CAMPAIGNING#WOULD BE BETTER THAN WHATEVER THE FUCK HE HAS PLANNED FOR THE NEXT FOUR YEARS

i started watching tbb but. it's so surface level. does it get better?? I'm super disappointed by the s1 finale
#don't get me wrong tho. it's not bad (which is a lot for disney's star wars). it's just. a little boring#idk. 90% of it is just Clone Action™ but they haven't. developed any character in the first season#like. I'm supposed to like omega but they just. straight up assumed everyone would like a kid. but who is she. what are her motivations.#or better. dont tell em who she is and what her motivations are. SHOW ME!! but nah they're not doing that#also. so many cameos?? some are cool but damn were the hera episodes necessary? i don't think so#i mean. they could've been better if it was less action and more the parts that develop the early empire days and transition#those scenes were HELLA COOL in theory but the execution was kinda flat and uninteresting#everyone here loves the show so i think I'll finish it hoping it gets better#but. please someone tell me that crosshair having removed his chip was like. a lie he told. it can't be real?? how? why?#it's strips away all the tragedy and what makes him interesting. please tell me he lied and it's not just subversion for subversion's sake#BUT ON A POSITIVE NOTE: I LOVE CID?? SHE'S SO COOL???? I LOVE HER AND I LOVE HOW SHE SAYS BANDANA (ik it's very random)#Anyway. damn i was hoping for a lot of Tragedy and Horror (esp. about the chip) and a lot more worldbuilding stuff.#like. i imaged it would be a sort of follow up on tcw - like. seeing the empire trying to settle especially in separatists' worlds.#that raxus episode was sooo wasted. idk man. AND WHERE IS THE HORROR#like i understand that there is a kid so it wouldn't be an andor kind of show; and it's fine to have the kid that relieves the tension#but there is literally none. like. idk the show would benefit from having a little more Tragic Momentum™#that actually means something i mean. not that bombardment of kamino right after omega kinda admitted she didn't like living in that lab#and asked the same to crosshair implying she too didn't really like kamino that much#ARRGHHH SO MANY FEELINGS. SO MUCH WASTED POTENTIAL#but it's still enjoyable so THAT'S SOMETHING#star wars#sw#the bad batch#g posting

Sometimes i remember a comics moment i randomly came across somewhere, where Sam Wilson mentiones a musical and Steve Rodgers says he doesn't like musicals, to whitch Sam goes "Guess that means you really are straight" and even tho i don't care about Cap America or the Avengers, the moment stuck in me for that quote by Sam. And like....Sci, any ideas if straight men actually don't like musicals or is that bullshit?
actually i think i know more gay men who hate musicals than i know straight men who hate musicals. i've had a drag queen stop me point blank when i was about to sing a barbra streisand song, and i know so many gays who pointedly hate abba. so based on my experience i think the inverse is true. most of the straight men i know are kind of impartial about musicals, but gay men? hate.
my theory is that a lot of gay men don't want to fall into stereotypes, maybe. but thaaaaat's just a theory! a gay theory.
#sci speaks#i'm trying to understand the gays. they are a mystery to me.#i've seen a lot more toxic masculinity coming from gay men than i have from straight men.#i think it makes sense. they have less women in their lives. so they reckon with a lot more masculinity. more dick measuring.#also gay men have some of THE most unhealthy romantic relationships i've ever seen in my life.#this isn't a blanket statement on everyone but just from what i've seen. it's such a strange pattern i've observed.#lesbians? healthy. straights? usually healthy. gay men? universally a tire fire that makes me say “if you hate each other so much ??”#“why are you together??????????”#i have never met a cis gay mlm couple in real life that was healthy. every single one of them made my eyes widen in horror.#i want them to be healthy. please treat each other better.#the number of bitchy bitchy fights i've seen between mlm couples in public that make me so terrified#but i know mlm relationships in general are usually less... affectionate than wlw relationships. even and especially friendships.#just an observation.#i hate to say that there is a definite difference between amab vs afab experiences when it comes to relationship dynamics but.#of course there is. there is. as much as i want to say gender and sex do not matter. it really does.#it makes a difference. it does.#which is kind of why i'm glad i was born in the body i was. when people say “trans means you feel you were born in the wrong body”#im like.. i don't think that's true. i don't think that's true for me.#i wouldn't be me if i wasn't born the way i was. and i want to be me. but i'm a boy. i'm a boy but in the body that i have.#my body is still a boy's body. because i live in here.#sorry this went off on a tangent.#but yeah i know my brain would be different if i was amab. and i don't want all those other issues.#i think the only reason i'm so peaceful and serene is because i'm afab. and afabulous.#i see cis guys and im like.. yeah i don't want what you got.#once again! lucky to be me! i'm lucky. im lucky i have a vargooba. thank fuck for that!#couldve been so much worse off. could've been born with a dick and would be fighting for my life right now.

ramblings on Li Ming (and Heart) and homosexuality
moonlight chicken has so many things to offer in terms of technical beauty and interesting themes but what i cannot stop thinking about is the different ways they approach homosexuality in the story.
we have Wen who has a rainbow flag on his desk and pictures of him and Alan on the wall. Wen, who openly flirts with Jim and has no qualms talking openly about his one night stand. Wen, whose step father knows about his sexuality and is close enough with him to discuss his love life.
Kaipa we don’t know too much about. But his mom knows and is supportive and some of the vendors and the chicken family seem to know. But if anyone was questioning in what reality this show is set with all the class discussion and corona featuring, his part of the story shows that homophobia exists and he is worried about how he fits in with his own family, the expectations of his mother and possible the awareness that he makes the family he has “different”.
Jim is arguably even more visibly gay than Wen in terms of what we see throughout the show. He opened the shop with his ex, they prayed at the temple together and even though he objected due to proprities sake eventually they loudly declared their love to each other and the whole neighbourhood knows. Wen somehow feels like he is living in the remnants of a bubble: his circle of friends seems very queer, his closest friend and the whole gym seem to be all part of that as well. This only might change now with him questioning his work and breaking up with Alan: some gatherings he won’t attend anymore apparently.
And finally, we have Li Ming. At school he doesn’t seem to open up to his classmates on most things and additionally is in the closet. While there wasn’t anything alluding to homophobic rethoric being spread at school we can see how the heteronormativity gets to him and feel that there must be good reason as to why no one knows. And it could just be how Li Ming is judging the situation based on vibes, we don’t know. His mother is or at least was homophobic but at the same time he is raised by his gay uncle who is surrounded by other gay people. And I love how it feels like this might have given him enough security to be comfortable with his own sexuality but how it also isn’t enough to shield him from the world at large.
With so many great shows coming out of Thailand and most of them getting more and more political it just feels so real and 2023 to me that Li Ming is part of a generation that knows who they are but still have to battle with the shadow that homophobia has cast way before they were born.
#moonlight chicken#i had this in my draft for a week now thinking if i'd get the time i could put this more leloquently but that was a lie as it turns out#might edit some stuff later#but for now i just have to write about how fantastic this show is for giving these varied realities of queer life#which are all influenced by their environment but also in the way the characters connect across generations#we don't know if him had a gay mentor who could've guided him#whereas li ming technically has him and his neighbourhood friends to reference#but li ming - understandibly so - seems more closeted than anyone else (minus Heart possigly)#in middle school everyone around me proclaimed how supportive they were of lgbt+ rights#but as soon as one guy came out he become the TALK of the school for weeks#he got reduced to his sexuality#and when he dated a girls some months after he got called attention seeking for coming out as gay before#and most people thought they were doing an open-minded thing#and despite knowing that i know that i am not the only queer kid who decided to not come out lest we'd become that talk of the whole school#and our dating lives scrutinized#even though all of us were super comfortable with who we are#and for me that was mostly the case because i had adult lesbian role models close to my family#so i knew i was good and that nothing strange was going on#but still - this othering made the school environment hostile enough to keep me in the closet#so yes - i am extremely delighted with how they depict this dynamic with li ming
