Seeing people refer to Daenerys as entitled, or narcissistic is so actually mind boggling. Like DAENERYS???? The Daenerys who never even had a proper home??? The girl who said she would not rule of ash?? And wanted a happy kingdom??? The girl Who listens to all of her people’s complaints almost everydau??? Same girl who cried over chaining her dragons away??? THE GIRL who is legit kind to people who aren’t even close to deserving it (Viserys, Jorah)??? LIKE DAENERYSSS?!??!?!?!?!??
#unless u referring to her as ur pretty princess please don’t speak on my queen#you can have ur own opinion on a character all you want of course#I would never force someone to like a character but to purposely mischaracterise them into some weird verison of them you have in your head#is so odd#also I’m specifically referring to book dany here#but hell show dany wasnt even any of these things either#u could make an argument for the last two seasons but brother eughhhh#asoiaf#a song of ice and fire#daenerys targaryen#daenerys stormborn#queen daenerys#game of thrones daenerys#house targaryen#valyrianscrolls

people who are weird about artists sharing their own OCs make no sense to me. if you support an artist and you don’t bother getting into their own original art with their own world building and characters you’re missing out! it’s so fun to see artists i follow going down paths with their own OCs and creating a world with their own lore, side OCs and everything i find it fascinating
#this is a 5am ramble#i just saw a post on here about OCs and how supporting artists means to support all the art that artist creates#including their own OCs#and i’m like yes holy shit#it’s so cool to see people just ramble on about their own OCs and have drawings attached and an entire world built for them#just really neat in my opinion

Wait… aren’t directors usually supposed to be the silent voice in stories? -Jesse
Oh, tons of directors are in their own work. Hitchcock, Harold Ramis, Mel Brooks, M Night. Shyamalan, Uhh ███ ████. -Emily
Who? -Jesse
—
Had a silly idea pop into my head when I heard the dlc for Alan Wake 2 would have Jesse in it, and the idea kept tormenting me enough to finish this drawing. I wanted to work in something with The Director vs a director, but wasn’t able to make it concise enough to fit sadly.
#night springs#night springs dlc#alan wake 2#remedy games#remedy control#jesse faden#control game#emily pope#fanart#my art#I spent my free time since the DLC was announced making this mess so it’s probably very inaccurate to the game lore#if the joke isn’t clear she’s saying Sam Lake#I have complex opinions on directors being in their own works#as someone who technically works in the entertainment industry and would like to at least share personal work with others#its not unexpected for me to have them to be fair#but wanted it for the joke here

so we know you love diasomnia endlessly, but who is your favorite character from each of the other dorms
this is SO hard to answer, because so many of the characters are, like, those pet adoption ads that say "MUST STAY TOGETHER, CANNOT BE SEPARATED". it's all about the relationship dynamics! and I think everybody in the main cast is pretty neat, honestly; there isn't anyone who doesn't have something I really like about them. but if I haaaaad to choose...
Hearts - Trey, partly because I do like me a good Mom Friend™ character, and partly because he pretends like he's all sane and normal, right up until he does something to prove he's just as much of a dipshit as everyone else. you're not immune, sir.
Savana - BUFF 👏 TSUNDERE 👏 WEREWOLF 👏
Octa - this one took a lot of soul-searching, because I do feel like the Octatrio is at their very best when it's all three of them, especially when they're in full Ed Edd n Eddy mode. but in the end, Jade ekes out a win, because sometimes you get this Jade:
and then when he gets back from his nice mushroom-foraging hike, you get this Jade:
Scara - Kalim, my sweet little moron. such a good heart, so few braincells.
Pome - 90% of the time when Rook shows up, you know it's going to a be fun time watching a silly little man dance around and break into song for no reason and wax poetic about the beauty of, like, a chair. always a delight!
except every once in a while, he'll bust out something that is absolutely insane even by Twst standards:
this isn't a complaint, it's just. why is he like this. I want to study him under a microscope, except I'm afraid of what I might find.
Igni - MUST STAY TOGETHER! CANNOT BE SEPARATED! ...but I would probably go with Ortho, just because right now I'm pretty invested in his Learning Emotions story arc and looking forward to seeing it progress. he's a good boy who will post your cringe fanfic publicly if you annoy him
...and at this point I'm calling technicality because the ask says "other dorms", and I genuinely do not think I could choose between the Dia boys at this point. let's see how episode 7 goes first!
#art#twisted wonderland#twisted wonderland spoilers#twisted wonderland episode 6 spoilers#long post#obligatory disclaimer that this is my own personal opinion et cetera#what it comes down to is that i'm going to love EVERYBODY and you can't stop me!#it REALLY is all about the dynamics though#i don't talk about them as much but i really do love the riddle-trey-cater and riddle-trey-che'nya friendships especially#and i KNOW i've talked about idia and lilia being unintentional bffs before#and i'm going to stop here before i just start listing off every possible character interaction and why i like it#what up it's a day ending in y which means i got feelings about anime characters again#sorry this is somehow even less coherent than usual#i was like 'i'll do a couple of drawings for this' and then looked up and it was 4 am somehow#this keeps happening dagnabbit

Uh, more spoilers for like, persona in general. So yeah, be warned
Okay, so this is technically from a spin off but my favorite awakening is Zenkichi <3333 I love him so much and his awakening is SO GOOD idk if you know his story so I’ll keep it light, but you’ve got to trust me it’s great! Plus blorbo points, but that’s neither here nor there
Akechi’s ‘awakening’ is also amazing!!! Tbf all of them are, except maybe Sumire’s? Idk it kinda fell flat for me tbh, but oh well. Yeah all of them are so good though <33
I may not be fair for asking this one bc I don’t have an answer (plus I haven’t actually played the game so idk the gameplay mechanics 😰) so it’s more for the story for me, so I’d have to say Futaba (I love her, just want to wrap her in a weighted blanket yk?) Sae (vibes for the most part lol) and… Maruki? Because Maruki is SUCH a bastard and his palace is SO GOOD at showing that. It feels so sanitized/derogatory if yk what I mean
Again, me not actually playing the games bites me in the ass so I can’t really say anything for p4 but yeah. Can’t really say anything about it sadly so I’m skipping that part 🥲
P5) ZENKICHI I love him so so much. Pathetic man. Love him. His daughter hates him, his wife is dead, he lowkey hates his job. What a man. By extension I also love Toshiro a lot. P5T is LITERALLY his game, he deserved his own pt gear.
Crazy that I love Ortho sm but Sophie got beat by Zen lol. ALSO!! AKECHI!!! Akechi you fucking bastard I love you
I love all of them, honestly 😭 they’re all so good!! But I was on a Mishima kick literally yesterday, so he gets an honorable mention
P4) uhhh, I really need to rewatch the anime (I watched it once and remember zip. I think I must’ve turned my brain off or smth) I also probably need to actually play the game too, but uhhhh Naoto? Idk I think her journey with gender is cool (she/they/he, but prefers she/they) Kanji’s cute too, and I see where you’re coming from with Kou!
P3) Minako and Minato! Fun fact, I actually cosplayed Minako once! It was fun! I’ve also cosplayed Futaba and Ortho before so yeah. Tbh most of my knowledge of these characters comes from an Akechi time travel fic I’ve been reading, so my perceptions may be kinda skewed, but Shinjiro and Misturu too! Maybe Ryoji too, just a silly lad (with unimaginable horrors within)!
(I will probably make some fanart of that fic, so when I make and post that, there’ll be a link to it!)
P2s: SUOU BROTHERS <33333 gods favorite (in the way an author tortures their blorbo) and cat lover who’s allergic to cats who just wanted to open a bakery
The sillies <33
P1) Idrk, I’ve read most of the manga, but I’m not sure. I guess, Nanjo? Silly guy who love the number 1
Hm. Persona’s been on the brain recently, so I kinda want to talk about that, but idk
Questions!
1) Favorite awakening?
2) Favorite palace? (Or maybe p4 dungeon or whatever they’re called)
3) Favorite character?
OHHHH favorite awakening? Damn that’s so hard…
Umm P5 spoilers/talk under the cut just Incase ☝️
UGH. Let’s see. I ABSOLUTELY ADOREEEE Ann’s awakening! I think the emotion is amazing <3 she is sick and tired of being treated like shit by Kamoshida!!! And she’s so so fucking badass while being summoned!!! <3 it’s amazing
But then!!! I also ADORE!!!!! Akechis second ‘awakening’ it’s so fucking amazing…. The insanity of it all…. AOUFH it’s wonderful!!!
Special mention to Makotos and Yusukes awakenings!!! They’re both super badass!!! I especially love when Yusuke scratches his nails on the floor and they bleed…. It’s so augfhfhfjfjfjf
I also really like Jokers awakening! Its cool <3
Favorite palace? HM. I like Kamoshidas because of the story!!! Especially Ann like damn <33 that ending !! Absolutely amazing! OHHHH AND THEN FUTABAS AHHHHHH FUTABAS IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING <33 I enjoy the gameplay! The story is heart breaking and the SOUNDTRACK?!!! So fucking good. ☝️☝️ top tier
Now for persona 4 I’m not too far along BUT!! I really like Yukikos dungeon…. I think the princess thing is cool….
Favorite character??? AHHHH YOU CANTTT DO THIS TO MEEEE AGHHHH
OKAY. P5- AKECHI☝️☝️☝️ ANN☝️☝️☝️ HARU☝️☝️☝️ JOKER ☝️☝️☝️ ( theyre in my polycule) GOD I FUCKONG LOVE MISHIMA!!!! OH AND I FUCKONG LOVE YOSHIDA HES MY EVERYTHING <333 IM HIS BIGGEST FAN 💞💞💓��💓💞💝💘💖💞💕 ryuji is also really close I adore ryuji. Same with yusuke and Futaba
P4- YUKIKO <3 YOSUKE <3 the rest are cool but those two <33 ohhh Kanji is also hella cool <3 ummm very silly but I really like Kou 😭😭😭 he’s so stupid and silly
P3- AKIHIKO ☝️☝️☝️ JUNPEI ☝️☝️☝️☝️ (now I’m not finished with P3 either but shinjiro 😍😍😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰)

My dear lgbt+ kids,
If you sometimes come across the term “banned books” but don’t really know what it means, here’s a simple little introduction to the topic:
“Banned books” refers to books that have been censored or removed from libraries, schools, or bookstores due to objections from certain groups or individuals.
When we read that definition, I think a really common and understandable response is: „whoa, okay, these must be really bad books full of dangerous ideas!“… and in some way, that’s true.
Because, you see, to someone with a homophobic worldview, any book with a gay character is really bad and dangerous. And to a child abuser, any book that educates children on consent is really bad and dangerous.
Among the top reasons for book bans are lgbt+ content, sexual content (including sexual education or education on sexual abuse), themes of racism and themes like drug use or addiction. Over the years, many books with significant cultural and educational value have faced bans - and this continues to be an issue all around the world, including in the US.
When books are banned, it restricts the access to information people (including kids and teenagers) need to understand themselves and others. This negatively affects queer people and other marginalized groups (for example people of color or disabled people) but it also impacts everyone else. Diversity in literature enriches our understanding of the diversity of real life. It helps to build empathy, compassion, kindness and understanding. Access to different stories and viewpoints is vital for an inclusive society.
Censoring queer books in particular also normalizes the message that queer experiences are inappropriate or “dirty” - which, again, is really beneficial to homophobes and transphobes. If it feels safe for them to say that queer books harm children, it paves the way for all other kinds of discrimination and harassment of queer people.
Now you may think “this all makes sense when it comes to books with gay characters! But didn’t you also mention stuff like sexual abuse and addiction and racism up there? These are indeed bad and dangerous things!”
I think this is another really common thought. These things happen in real life and it can be uncomfortable to even think about them. But that’s precisely why we need books about those “uncomfortable” topics!
We may not like the idea that a child hears about racism or abuse - but in a world where kids can experience racism and abuse, they also need to be able to read about racism and abuse. They need to be able to say “this is what’s happening to me and this is not okay”. We need to be able to name bad things when they happen to us or when we witness them happening to others. We need an understanding of and a language for bad things. That’s the only way to fight the bad things.
Another thought you may have is “Okay, and now what? I don’t have the power to do anything about all this anyway”, and honestly I wouldn’t blame you for that one either. Hearing about book bans (on top of all the other negative stuff we hear about) can feel really depressing. But there are things you can do to push back and help keep diverse stories accessible - even if you are young or have limited resources!
Some ideas:
use your public library (many public libraries actively resist censorship and make banned books available!)
use a digital library (services like Libby and Project Gutenberg offer free access to many books)
look out for online petitions or letter-writing campaigns by organizations that oppose book bans (for example PEN in America)
look up if there are any “little free libraries” in your area (free book-sharing box operating on the honor system: anyone can take or leave a book for no cost)
look up if there are any book swapping events in your area
take part in reading groups, book clubs etc. (either in person or online)
And of course the big one: if you can afford to buy books - make a point to buy banned books (or more generally, queer books and books from marginalized authors and books on topics that frequently get banned)! As a starting point, you can find lists of banned books online. Wikipedia has one, for example.
If you have a bigger budget, you could even buy multiple copies and put some in your local “little free library” or bring them to book-swapping events or gift them to friends etc! (You could also ask your local public library (or school library or prison library or youth center or women’s shelter etc) if they take book donations, but you may want to hold off on buying before they say yes - not all of them can accept donations!).
Happy reading and resisting!
With all my love,
Your Tumblr Dad
#lgbt#lgbt+#While writing this I thought about mentioning my books in it but it felt really inauthentic to use this serious topic to market my own book#So instead I’ll just put it in the tags here#My book Letters To The LGBT Community is an educational book on queer themes and would be a great choice for a little free library#In my humble and totally unbiased opinion

i can be your angle (hawkahy should happen because it suits the narrative's themes of vulnerability, honesty, and dismantling the idea of the rugged individual) or yuor devil (beejpeg should divorce because it suits the narrative's themes of vulnerability, honesty, and dismantling the idea of the rugged individual)
#as always These Are Just My Takes. if you don't like 'em just ignore 'em and we can each amicably hold our own opinions#i use ''should'' here mostly just for emphasis as a gag of course. or do i? yes. unless?#shebbz shoutz#mash#and i also hawkeye and mulcahy should cry during sex. because of the themes

I like the emphasis this episode put on the Agency being the strongest when its members are together vs. Yosano repeatedly soloing herself out. I feel like here Yosano is actively choosing her own downfall, out of sense of guilt.
#Which is interesting of its own because I don't think Yosano normally thinks she should die to atone for her sins.#I believe that she had a long time to elaborate her traumatic experiences and that she's mostly okay now (yay!)#But I also think having to face her past traumatic events so suddenly and so vividly would cause an abrupt fall back for her#Which explains her self sacrificing behavior here pretty well in my opinion!#akiko yosano#bsd#bungou stray dogs#bsd s4#bsdrewatch2023

I wonder why christian misrepresentation are rarely talked about if compared to other religion misrepresentation. Like, I've seen people really vocal about Greek myths misrepresentation in LO and such (and it's valid because it's a culture and religion) but I rarely saw the same thing with christian even though there are many media who use christian religion innacurately, to the point where it comes off as using it as an aesthetic and not a proper religion.
Is it because of rampant religious trauma especially in western world? No ulterior motives on this question. I'm not a christian and yet I'm curious about this. I apologize if this sounds harsh.
I obviously don't have The Answer(tm) to this but personally speaking (and I'm about to get VERY personal here so take this with MOUNTAINS OF SALT), I think it's just the obvious - Christian mythology is one of the most well-documented and strongly protected out of virtually any other religion on the planet. Especially here in the West, it's commonplace for kids to go to Sunday school, for couples to have Christian weddings even if they're not practising Christians themselves, even the American anthem references the Christian God. It's simply not as easy to 'misrepresent' it because the representation is written into our very fabric of society. Even Greece itself is primarily made up of Orthodox Christians.
So anyone that does 'misrepresent' it are either completely mislead hardcore Christians, or people who are doing it intentionally, such as with the intent to make a parody of it or to deconstruct it through a different context or whatever have you. And of course, people will still get mad at those things, if you're implying that people aren't vocal about Christian misrepresentation then frankly IDK what to tell you there LOL If you want a contextual example in the realm of webtoons, Religiously Gay was dragged to hell and back during its launch for having a very crude and insulting depiction of St. Michael, and frankly, yeah I don't disagree because what the fuck is this-
(like at best it's just terrible character design lmao that said, there's also plenty else to criticize Religiously Gay for, including its fetishy representation of gay relationships and the fact that it's still just the "naive person who looks and acts like a child hooks up with mean person in a position of power" trope, blech, but the character design is definitely the first thing you notice)
There are even plenty of hardcore Christians who will deadass claim "misrepresentation" over things that ARE factually correct but they just haven't read the actual Bible and simply cherry pick what works for their own agenda. And of course those people are routinely called out by people like myself who know for a fact that Jesus wouldn't have promoted the war crimes that many modern day Christians are committing and justifying today. So it really depends on the definition of "misrepresentation" here.
The issue specifically with LO and Rachel that I personally call her out for (and many others) is that she's called herself a "folklorist" and claimed she's so much more knowledgeable on Greek myth than anyone else, while making a complete mockery of the original mythologies while not being honest about her intent as to whether LO is actually supposed to be a legitimate retelling OR a parody (because it sure acts like the latter more than the former, but she still seems to expect us to take it seriously and consider her knowledge of Greek myth superior?) Which leads to a lot of her teenage audience claiming shit like "Persephone went down to the underworld willingly" and "Apollo did assault Persephone in the original myths actually" and the classic "why would Lore Olympus lie or make up fake myths?"
You just can't pull off this extent of erasure with Christian mythology because we have a whole ass book of it that's been preserved, sold on shelves, and systematically integrated into society for thousands of years. Of course, there are people who will still try their damned best to twist the Bible to match their own bigotry with the whole "Jesus hates gays" bullshit (he would never), but it's met with equal amounts of 'misrepresentation' that are actually fully well-read and are intentionally subverting and changing things to either critique, parody, or restore the original intent of a lot of stories in the Bible without all the manufactured right-wing crap.
Greek myth, on the other hand, has some stories that are well preserved, and others, not so much. And in the modern day outside of the poems and hymns, you'll also rarely, if ever, see anyone use stories from Greek myth to ostracize, torture, and murder other people. "Misrepresenting Christianity" is more often done by actual Christians who are using the Bible to commit hate crimes than the people who have actually read the Bible and are just taking creative liberties with it for the sake of deconstructing / parodying / analyzing / subverting it. Veggie Tales "misrepresents" Christian stories because obviously Moses wasn't a fucking cucumber lmao but it still accomplishes its goal by retelling Christian stories in a way that's fun and educational for children.
By comparison (on the whole, I'm not comparing LO to Veggie Tales LMAO) LO just isn't clear in its intentions beyond Rachel's initial statements that she was trying to "deconstruct" the myths, while labelling herself as a folklorist. Therefore, I'm going to criticize how she does it because the way she's done it up until now has been very mishandled and has resulted in a lot of misinterpretations of the myths simply for the sake of fandom. And yes, these people exist in Christian media as well - they're called TV evangelists.
And that's my (very heavy) two cents.
#here's your reminder that missionaries are colonizers#find me the Hellenistic pagans knocking on people's doors asking them if they want to hear about the glory of Aphrodite lmao#honestly it also depends on what you're surrounding yourself with#obv if you take part in the LO fandom and avoid what's going on in the christian world then what you experience and see will seem skewed#like even i could be very wrong in my opinion based on my own experiences as someone who lives in the west-#maybe there ARE pagans knocking on doors and using greek myth to commit hate crimes#so yeah we all gotta try not to fall for survorship bias#there are plenty of stories of people getting mad about christian mythology and its misrepresentations on BOTH sides#lo critical#lore olympus critical#anti lore olympus#webtoon critical#ama#ask me anything#anon ama#anon ask me anything

I have two Jiang Cheng-centric questions about how and why people perceive him the way that they do. This is only for people who do not think that Jiang Cheng is a bad person (not whether or not you like his character, but whether or not this character, if real, would be considered a good person by the average person). The questions are:
1) if you believe that he is or attempted to be a moral person, where are places in the novel where he displays, in your eyes, either moral action or intent?
2) in what moments does Jiang Cheng take the initiative in a given situation (being a leader, following his own desires, ect.) where he is neither prompted by an authority figure or following the lead of his peers?
(If it’s not an idea you got from the novel, you could say that, too, but I’m really looking for the opinions of people who are convinced that mxtx wrote his character to be at least “decent.”)
#mdzs#canon jiang cheng#obviously i have my own opinions#and this post is not for stans who could care less about canon#but people who otherwise have decent analysis of mdzs#seem to still fall into a default ‘jc isn’t bad; he just made bad choice trying to be good’ mindset#and i want to know how we got here

I’ve gotta admit as much as I know Darabella is a flawed ship (and some of the ppl who are anti for it have legit criticisms I love y’all for pointing it out cause it frustrates the hell out of me too trust) they’ll always just kind of be it for me.
Because as much as it was an “I can fix him” trope, as much as Rosabella could be selfish and Daring’s flaws got cranked up to 1000, she was also the first person to look at him after his destiny, the thing he dedicated his life to, failed, when people were questioning him as a prince and putting pressure on his and Apple’s relationship and tell him that, like, maybe it would be alright? Maybe this wasn’t his destiny, and maybe that was okay.
And the part that really gets me? She’s the first person after this happens to tell him that it doesn’t matter what’s on the outside, which as much as you can like other Daring ships or him whatever he desperately needed to hear. Not even cause he was selfish, that’s not what I’m saying, but bc he placed his whole identity on this image that people concocted for him based on him appearing the perfect prince. He was handsome, he was talented, and he was handsome! So who cares about him as a person?
Idk man. You spend four seasons (I watch the specials on Netflix so that’s why four idk if it’s three to some ppl or whatever tho) watching him be praised for his looks, watching girls fawn over him, and of course he enjoys it so nobody really questions how much he enjoys it. And then you get this girl, this girl who owes him nothing, this girl who (contrary to popular belief apparently) has a life of her own and people she cares about outside of him, and she’s nice to him. And she’s the first person after everything happens to just be nice to him, for the sake of being nice. Something about that will always hit different for me
#it’s her seeing him as more than the perfect prince that he’s been told he has to be his whole life#and maybe she doesn’t approach that perfectly sure but also maybe she’s human and a teenager and she’ll fuck up and make mistakes#but the foundation of their entire relationship is that moment of reaching out and connection#and just saying i’m here with you. i don’t know you that well and i don’t care about you that much and i have a million reasons not to be#but i’m here for you anyway. because you matter and i don’t know if anyone’s told you that yet. and maybe#idk. maybe you need to hear it#anyway sorry i’m not trying to start shit i’ve just seen so many ppl shitting on them in this fandom#and some of the critiques i agree w! i’m not saying they were written perfectly there’s a ton i would change abt their writing if i could#(which i do. through fanfic)#but i just wanted to offer a reason i personally attached to them among all the ppl ranting against#if anyone wants to present their own opinions (RESPECTFULLY) tho#i’d be happy to have a conversation abt it! i love talking abt stuff like this feel free to leave rants in my notes guys#ever after high#eah#rosabella beauty#daring charming#darabella
