#i can say that look at my url i can say it i'm a monkey too

[timidsketch]

I can't believe I even have to explain this, but:

Naming yourself "exterminatewhitewomen" as your url is racist

Believing that white people should die is racist

Calling white people "mayo monkeys" is racist

Believing a person is automatically "evil" and "immoral" purely for being born white is racist

Making mass shooter jokes about white people is racist

Believing you're superior to any other race, including white people, is racist

Discrimination does not need to be systemic oppression to still be discrimination, to still be bad, and to still matter. There is no "reverse racism." Racism doesn't suddenly stop being racism just because you changed your target.

When you claim to be against racism and still do racist shit, you're completely throwing away your supposed values. "It's my turn now" is not an excuse. There is no "correct group" to be racist to. There is no "As long as I'm racist to XYZ, then it's okay."

If you believe that equality has an asterisk, then you don't actually give a fuck about equality. The fact it's controversial to say "Maybe don't call white people 'mayo monkeys'?" in so-called progressive spaces is absolutely absurd. Republicans and conservatives sure are hypocrites, but "progressive" people who support discrimination based on the target are not any better.

No, I shouldn't have to explain to you every single instance of racism that a white person has experienced for you to understand that racism against anybody is wrong.

If your version of "equality" requires people to lay their identities out for you so you can pick and choose what identities count as human, then you don't give a shit about making society a better place. You don't care about progress, and you never have. You just want an excuse to harm people and not look bad while doing so.

Sorry if this is a bad question or more likely just hopeless. I’ve been trying to find a good Connor Hawke comic to read (first found out about him in Damian’s Robin solo and he and Rose were the only two things I liked besides the Robin chase but I’m a bat brat) and I’ve only read the Silver Monkey story and as I’m not a fan of Oliver Green at all (my exposure to him has in no way been positive) and I HATE Dixon and I know he’s the main writer for Connor, but I had to drop the Tim solo because of his obvious, I guess bigotry would be the right word to use here, but he is one of the three writers I refuse to let myself read anymore to try and keep my blood pressure low. Are there any Connor stories or series that exist outside of those parameters to read because I’m having 0 luck. I’m also not sure if you’re a fan of Mia or Emilio or have any go-to stories for them, but I know nothing about them and I’d like to change that if at all possible.

i understand, i do i do. while i think dixon is capable of good character writing, and he did manage to do it in connor's run, i also understand his very very obvious politics shine through all the time and it gets tiresome (at one point in his ga run he manages to write OLIVER QUEEN "both sides"ing literal nazis that he and hal fought in GL/GA). here's the best i can do for recs outside of dixon (though few and far between)

Before i start, i do wanna clarify that his character in robin is. well. pretty different from his actual pre-established character. I'm not saying you won't like him, and im genuinely begging you to give him a shot, but if youre looking for the snarky brawler type, you might be a lil thrown by the polite buddhist monk you're gonna get.

you are in luck, as his first few appearances were by kelley puckett, so if you havent already read GA vol. 2 #0, do that first! #91 and #92 are also by puckett until dixon takes over for #93, so read those if you dont mind just stopping in the middle of an arc, otherwise avoid.

now this next rec IS 1/3 written by dixon but if you can get through it, the crossover connor has with wally and kyle is enjoyable, thats Green Lantern Vol. 3 #96, GA Vol. 2 #130, and The Flash Vol. 2 #135

Connor's JLA run! JLA Vol. 1 #8-#15, #8 and #9 are specifically about connor saving and joining the league, the rest of the issues just feature him in a team setting, as, well, its the league.

if you want to read mia as well, read Green Arrow: Quiver (GA Vol. 3 #1-#10), Connor plays an important role but its almost entirely in the very last issue, and it's more about Ollie's role dynamic with him than anything else, so just read that if it tickles your fancy.

I wish i could recommend more of GA Vol. 3 for connor, unfortunately he's pretty fucking sidelined, and for every good moment theres 2 bad ones. (immediately after quiver he is shot and put in a coma for an arc, somehow this isnt the last time this happens.) Though i do recommend #11, and i think #21 is a good issue to read for ollie and him, but it also includes a pretty huge retcon to Connor and Ollie's past

Other than those, he has One-shots in Green Arrow 80th Anniversary 100-Page Super Spectacular: "One", DC Pride 2022: "Think Of Me", and DC Festival of Heroes: The Asian Superhero Celebration: "Hawke & Kong"

to answer your second question, my URL aint lesbianspeedy for nothin! Mia is what i breathe and bleed, my recs for her are here!

as for Emi, your best bets are Green Arrow Vol. 5 #18-#20, #22, #28-#34 for her origin (though read N52 green arrow at your own risk, even i havent properly read these), Green Arrow Vol. 6 #1-#7 (this may feel like a completely new character, i'm sorry, dc has a angsty characterisation problem, if you enjoy either of these characterisations, i'd recommend you keep reading said runs past my specific recs for more issues with her!) and Stargirl Spring Break Special + Stargirl: The Lost Children #1-#6

Hoping this doesn't get dicey; any thoughts on poly ships? Like poly IT or polythieves? (And/or any favs?)

It shouldn't. Unless people can't handle my NoTPs while reading this (that's on them, I can't control nor judge how people will react and that's fine).

Poly like as in an OT3/OT4? Or as in the WHOLE cast?

OT3/OT4? Yeah I'm cool. Gotta be in the mood sometimes but yeah (but sometimes it's just......not all 3/4 at the same time if you catch my drift? Sometimes it's just two/three combos within the 3/4 group I like)

I'm not down for the WHOLE cast. Mostly cause of my NoTPs. I greatly hate K*nNao with a passion and I view it as one of the worst ships (mostly cause it ignores Naoto's feelings and fanon wise can really screw up her character if I had to get straight to the point without really fluffing it out). But I like YuKan and SouNao, but I wouldn't be really into an OT3 with them (unless neither Kanji nor Naoto were like romantically involved with each other). I'm not....really of fan of SouYo (blame the SL and blame Yosuke's arc, I feel like the way his SL goes he'd be regressing in growth with making Souji a rebound/replacement goldfish on top of that and I just don't vibe with it). I don't like YukiChie ("Wow Silly, you hate all the big LGBT!P4 ships" Yeah. They left a bad taste in my mouth, except NaoRise.....tho y'all love to shove one unappealing ape in the middle of my decent yuri ship don't you? >_>), mostly cause it puts Chie in the "prince" role which kinda.....plays into her whole femininity issues and I think can harm her......which tbh you can break down my issues of those 3 big ships being "it hurts the development/writing of the character in some way" which ironically can only happen with those ships because of the events of how things have played out). I like NaoRise, I like KanRise but fuck if I like them all together. I don't like SouRise (I don't get why she latches onto him so much. Yukiko and Chie? Can't be attracted to a bear and they know Yosuke so I can see it, it's not that in your face tbh. Naoto? Social link gives the reasoning there. Marie? Same as Naoto. Lord knows why Rise latched onto Yu except he's the best looking guy? She seems to have more emotional attachment behind it but.....it just left a poor taste in my mouth), that being said I can OT3 SoujiNaotoRise. Not a fan of YuMarie, the friendship route is the best, and I do feel like a brother at times (also I didn't get to romance Grey haired Izanami u_u). I can ship Teddie with....pretty much anyone on the team tbh (maybe not Yuki and Chie tho never really thought about it), dunno why.....I like his dynamic with Souji/Naoto/Yosuke/Kanji a lot. Oh! SouSho/ShoYu or however you wanna call it, I'm not one for foeyay or antagonistxprotagonist ships but I like this one (probably cause how they execute it). I can OT3 SouNaoYo (I like SouNao and YoNao) same with SouNaoTed (cause I also like NaoTed). Uhhh Kanji I'll ship with....Yukiko, Rise (ironically Yukiko also ships it, and I like it cause Kanji and Rise literally see the other person truthfully which is.....what they want???? why don't they like each other??? they are literally fulfilling the needs of each other???), P4D!Nozomi, Yosuke (I like their bromance that's probably why), and Teddie (I might vibe with Chie cause he does show interest in her along with Yukiko but he and Yukiko have a history so I can see it more than with Chie). Chie is with MC (mostly Tracey!/Japanese!Chie, Erin!Chie.........orz), Yosuke (tho that's more of an old ship I hold a torch for I'm ehish on it now), and Aki atm (I can see her with a girl just......not what we have available). Yukiko it's Kanji.........yeah Kanji (I actually just really like these two together, I can see Yuki with a chick, maybe Labby but.....hmmmm OH I did like the YukiMitsu crack ship.....but other than that I just haven't really vibed with her romantically with other chars).

With SEES (might as well include them) I do not ship Yukari with anyone (except maybe crack ship her with Junpei for their own dismay..... or Hamu on certain days, then again Hamu is my shipping bicycle). And Junpei I only ship with Chidori or Fuuka (he at least showed interest with Fuuka prior to Chidori, but JunpeixMC/FeMC is similar to Yosuke above with it most likely hurting his growth). I absolutely detest Yukari with Mitsuru (I'll ship Mitsuru with MC/FeMC/Kikuno/Aki/literally anyone who is better than Yukari get yourself a gal/guy who WON'T slap you at your lowest girl you deserve soooo much better ;w;). I don't ship Ken with anyone besides Makoto N/Haru (same age purposes of course), for obvious reasons. Same with Koro....for obvious reasons. I don't ship Aki/Shinji together (their personas are literally brothers and I just.....don't see a romance with them.....maybe it's cause I'm not super used to Yaoi but...like...*glances at MC/Ryoji* I can see that tho....). I only ship Aki with Mitsuru, Chie, and training (I really dislike his romance with the FeMC, the sister thing felt icky and I hate how you have to convince him). I can easily OT4 Minato/Hamuko/Aigis/Ryoji. Fuuka I vibe with MC/FeMC/Junpei/Natsuki (probably the only char that has a "best friend" I ship them with, I don't like Y*kiChie, Y*kaMitsu, and I like pics of AnneShiho, I don't really ship them..... maybe due to lack of screen time? But regardless something hits different about Fuuka/Natsuki and it's probably because it's the better Y*kaMitsu sorry I don't make the rules, actual genuine friendship and apology here guys blame the writers for screwing over the other and making FuuNatsu the best, and blame the writers for not showing them more u_u).

Anne and Haru are more my shipping bicycles for this, tho I don't really ship Makoto with anyone besides Ken/Goro atm (I don't mind seeing MakoHaru tho, hate ShuMako and I'm not a big fan of MakoAnne......mostly cause I get similar YukaM*tsu vibes for toxic levels). Haru I ship with MC/Ryuji/Goro pretty hardcore (I can easily ship her with Anne too at times). I do like PegoRyu, and I like ShuAnne, and I like the PegoRyuAnne OT3 (I can probs OT3 MCAnneHaru or OT4 PegoRyuAnneHaru but that's for the PT, maybe add Sumi into one or all of the 3 combos but eh), I do not like RyuAnne tho (they feel too bro-ish and state pretty clearly they don't like each other that way, but I can see a vibe going if it was an OT3 tbh). MC it's mostly Ryuji/Anne/Haru/Sumi. I guess Futaba/Yusuke but I don't really care it's a pair the spares (maybe it's like Yukari and Junpei, I wanna see their dismay). I really don't like Sh*Taba, mostly cause, like Yosuke, it felt like it'd hurt her growth (mostly cause in her case her CoOp raised BIG red flags that made me squirm, something I didn't really see with Sumi) Goro is just with Sumi (if I'm not heavily BrOTPing them tbh), I highly dislike Sh*Ake (Like Yukari and Mitsuru, I cannot buy a friendship between them). Mona can eat a boot.

I tried censoring some ships so they don't appear in the tags but eh (it's under a read more so it should be safe? Hopefully? I tried). As you can see I'm a multishipper (that's not even going into my crossover ships, tbh I feel like I probs forgot a couple), and I like straight, yaoi, and yuri (obvie I rep more of the rarepair LGBT P4 ships 8U). I just have a certain preferences when it comes to the ships I guess? Give me a ship and I can either tell why I like/love it, why I hate it, or why I'm either "meh I vibe" or "meh I don't really vibe" or "I feel nothing" (I guess that's an open invitation but eh).

(I sent to someone else because I didnt look at the url) but I wrote a review of Belladonna and somewhat briefly broke down each song (not to the degree which you did, which I must say I'm envious of how much you know linguistically about English and devices) but the point is: I took Bones lyrically as a sort of post-coitus confession of love. To put it lewdly, basically the dick was so good that she caught feelings. Would you say that's fairly accurate or do you have other thoughts on it?

Hey thank you for the compliment, Teagen! Haha.

Bones sounds like it could’ve been a Monkeys song if he let it get to that point, in my opinion. There are so many elements of it to me that are just obviously AT an James Ford, it’s a little silly. Like if you made it a little heavier…? Anyway.My interpretation of the song is that she is just completely in love with this person, and maybe it is post-sex that she sort of realizes these intense feelings. I think it’s also showing the strain of a relationship where the person is slightly out of reach at all times. Like she couldn’t text him and say “hey come over” because he’s far away. “While you’re here and long after you’re  gone…” For some reason, this to me seems to say while the guy/person is there, and while they’re gone like back on their side of the world. Falling in love within a long distance relationship. She’s sort of realizing through the song that she is actually in love with the person, but hasn’t said it out loud yet. “How’s it for you, baby?” To me what’s interesting about the song is that it’s insecure - it’s asking a question that is uncertain. If you look at it as Alex Turner’s song, since he wrote the lyrics, it’s a little bit like, uncharacteristic. Here’s this persona we know as confident and cocky saying ‘how is this for you? i’m totally in love with you.’

I’m not sure about the shawty line… I think AT just wanted to use the word shawty in a song and figured he could get away with it here. But let’s be real, we all know that if the Monkeys put out an entire record of Alex singing about laundry detergent, we’d be all in. So I might’ve debunked myself.I agree with what you’re saying though. There’s a sexual element to it in all different aspects. The first verse I think you can feel it, and the idea of this ache being in her bones. Also, for sure “And I have to say, I wake up in the mood…” The phrase in the mood, to me, always means sex. So I feel like that’s what it’s saying, but I could be wrong.
