💋 MetaDede Week 2024 Day 2: First Kiss 💋

(ID: Kirby series fanart of King Dedede and Meta Knight standing on a balcony - the latter on the railing - overlooking a late-evening sky, painted in the gold-pink-purple tones of sunset and speckled with stars high above. Turned to face his knight, DDD boldly takes his hand and plants a small kiss on the back of it, eyes shut and cheeks dusted in pink. MK looks up at his king with soft fondness, a hand over his heart, a blush of his own glowing through his mask. Above them against the starry sky, a low-opacity, sepia-toned memory can be seen. Meta - teenaged and maskless with nearly-grown wings, wearing plain steel pauldrons and white gloves; and DDD - teenaged and acne-plagued, wearing an oversized red-and-orange hoodie and a maroon beanie. In a fit of last-second courage, Meta grabs his friend by the front of his hoodie and yanks him down, shutting his eyes and blushing fiercely as he plants a hasty kiss - their first! - on his cheek. DDD leans over unsteadily on one foot, an arm thrown back for balance, his pimply face bright red, his eyes wide with surprise and touched with heart-shaped shines. END ID.)

just read the new mutants issue where Charles chose to stay behind in space and my god the juxtaposition between Charles trusting Erik and Erik joining the hellfire club and wondering at his own trust worthiness. I wonder how much of Charles decision was him ultimately trying to avoid the fact that his first class had seemingly betrayed mutant kind and not be willing to face them and how much of it was Dani and Illyana's reaction to him having Karma mind control Illyana. the fact that Illyana was depending on him to ease her mind through limbo and in choosing to stay he forced karma to do it instead, probably fucking up their relationship in the process.

I love him, this is crazy, how much of this is him trying to runaway and how much is this him not trusting himself to fix things and how much is it just him trusting Erik?

i keep trying to put into words my exact thoughts about the sitch but there really is a lot for one issue aintit... oh charles you and your brain...

i'm going to say something so controversial and yet so brave

chuuya nakahara is one of the most incredibly interesting, engaging and well-written characters in bsd and the fandoms reduction of him as nothing more than dazai's love interest does him such a disservice

does anyone have more recommendations for asian historical dramas with tragic homoerotic love triangles involving two men in an acting troupe or is it just the king and the clown (2005) and farewell my concubine (1993)

I’ve had this idea rattling around in my brain for the past couple of months and I’m mostly introducing this as I may have missed something. The following statement contains descriptions of suicide in accordance with origin myths but also within Peking Opera. If either or both of these things bother you I advise you to skip this post.

I’ve spent a few months sitting on this and wondering why most people’s image of Nezha’s suicide be that he has slit his throat open in front of Ao Guang with a sword. A great deal of art (and even cosplay) I’ve found of Nezha’s suicide includes the throat slitting, biting his hair as if it was a pheasant feather, and his outfit from Nezha Conquers the Dragon King (1979).

The original suicide itself was far more graphic, as he was cutting himself open to remove both his internal organs and scraping his bones for his parents; removing both of his arms as well. An argument about filial piety and Nezha releasing his earthly and heavenly spirits can be made - but that’s for another time.

Moreso I want to say that the 1979 film romanticized Nezha’s suicide though it was purely driven by spite. Of course animating such violence would not have worked, so in line with sanitizing Nezha’s character the choice was made to “romanticize” his suicide. My sole running theory is that the Nezha here was emulating the suicide of Consort Yu from the opera Farewell My Concubine. Knowing her lover was in danger while fighting against Liu Bang for the unification of China, Consort Yu chose death than to continue living on without Hegemon-King Xiang Yu.

She performs a swords dance for Xiang Yu before he heads out for battle without her. While Xiang Yu is distracted, she slits her throat with his sword.

Arguably this makes an act of defiance into an act of filial self sacrifice, and I’m curious to know what anyone else thinks of this.
