dont normally post about drama but this seems relevant:

im seeing a lot of people jump to "james somerton was never good anyways" in retaliation for the hbomb expose, but there's a really fine line to tread there before you get into stepping on the toes of the people he stole from, you know?

some of his videos and analysis did seem genuinely intelligent, thoughtful, insightful, and well-written. yeah, it turns out those are the result of him stealing from other people. but that doesnt mean the original writers WEREN'T intelligent, thoughtful, insightful and good writers. he had plenty of garbage opinions interspersed throughout, but the reason many people (myself included) were suckered in by him is that the queer creators he stole from DID have really important and interesting analysis. the parts of his videos that were good were stolen, but by discounting his essays entirely we're throwing the baby out with the bathwater and insisting those he stole from didn't have anything important to say.

the parts he himself supplied were trash, but he stole the work of some genuinely brilliant and insightful writers and passed it off as his own- and that writing still exists and is still brilliant and insightful; we just know now who was actually responsible for it and who to thank for that work

lets just be careful when we smugly proclaim that we always hated everything he had to say- because a lot of the words we're discounting were never his to begin with, and the last thing those authors need is to have their work trash talked because it ended up in the mouth of someone dishonest

Do you think Mac has jacked off while reading the Bible? Or is he too ashamed? Or does the shame just turn him on more? Are the pages of his Bible all stuck together?

Oh, I don't think; we know:

(Pages stuck together, thanks for the confirmation, Charlie)

I think the shame definitely turns him on more, considering Mac Day:

And, the connected punishment, lest we forget The Gang Goes to Hell... (and the script here... whew)

While he was repressed then, he wasn't as of Charlie's Home Alone, so I think it's clear to claim that a part of his "homosexual awakening" was connected to the fact that he was gradually getting more and more into the idea of being punished (gone sexual) for his sins, to a point where he was just genuinely jerking off to the "evils of homosexuality"

I do wanna continue here though and say Season 15 is pretty interesting because we see Mac battle between being Catholic and proudly gay. He seemingly has no issue bragging to a Priest in the middle of a church that he's into triple penetration, but it is his sex life that is the driving "reasoning" for why he thinks he should become a Catholic Priest:

He's been "S-ing&F-ing" his way though life for too long and now he thinks God has taken away one of his identities (Irish) as a result. Mac's idea of being punished by/for God continues, but it's now through the form of revocation (as opposed to shame or flagellation). I think there's a clear "connect the dots" idea that depriving himself of sex (via becoming a Priest) is an "evolved" form of allowing God to punish him for being gay.

Obviously Mac learns he was lied to, as he actually is Irish, so his "journey" here is a bit of a wash, but the fact that his rationale jumped to God punishing him for having gay sex still stands. As he grows to accept himself, he's still looking for ways to feel shame (which, as we've seen, gets him off)...

But is the constant seeking for some form of punishment still there? We didn't see much of his Catholicism in Season 16 (I think the only mention of God from Mac was in The Gang Gets Cursed), but we did continue to see his sex life and—well, that was pretty heavy on Mac, openly gay dating, somehow managing to be neglected and deprived of actual gay sex, wasn't it?

okay so ive been into jeweler richard for a while now, i watched half of the anime when it came out and found it unremarkable (now it fills me with rage) but i didnt start actually thinking about it until the manga came out and i actually read it. I stand by my reccomendation of the manga and in still looking forward to reading it when more volumes come out (volume 6 got delayed till next year). I knew OF things in the LN and they intrigued me but i wasnt really into light novels cuz i read on my phone but i didnt know how to get books(for free) on there. Untill i started reading orv that is(thanks dokja). Its really not that important for the story but recently ive been ravenously reading the jeweler richard LN (im on volume 5 now in the past like weekish)

And uhhhhh wow its so good. Like acutally good i totally get what people say about seigi now he is absolutely unreliable about......everyone around him. This is my reccomendation if you watched the anime and liked it or read them manga pleaseee read the light novels. It is the ideal JR experience

You know when you read a piece of fiction - book, short story, fanfic, what have you - and there’s just one tiny detail that just takes you completely out of the story?

I just read a passage in a piece of original fiction where the main character hugs a friend and tells us she smells like the ‘delicate rose and jasmine of her familiar Chanel No 5’ and my brain just screeched to a halt. Tell me you googled ‘famous fancy perfume’ and picked the first two scent notes you saw without telling me. Many things can be said about that particular fragrance I don’t think anybody with a working nose would describe it as ‘delicate florals’.

Will it take the hermits staying with Grian a while to figure out what exactly his deal is, even after he wakes up? Surely, if he went to all the trouble of evading them and then waiting to die, he wouldnt just immediately give them answers right? Especially not if he was already trying to hide it to begin with well before they found out the life games were his doing.

This fic is in it for the long haul, so yeah!! Communication is not just going to Happen right away, and when it does, it's going to be very piecemeal, with different things said to different people. Once we get past the hurdle of Grian's second attempt, communication will start to very slowly get a bit more honest and open, but its gonna be a LONG process to get there and wont be linear in its progression. There are a few things i have in mind for this, especially for when Grian gets back to Hermitcraft, but yeah, its gonna take a while for everything to really come out!!!

Hey, OP of the perfume post here. I regret to say I didn't get the reference but this

is reason enough for me to offer to bake you my signature recipe of rose-flavored cupcakes or a kiss on the mouth, whichever you prefer.

I don't understand why people who do not enjoy smells are reblogging the post about enjoying smells but I, PERSONALLY, am very much enjoying the congregation here of people who do enjoy smells.

OP......... we might be like,,, in love.................`

Between natori and matoba who do you think will be the sentinel or guide?

ooooh thanks for sending this ask and for enjoying reblogging a lot of exorcist stuff hehehe

for the exorcists i feel like hmmm (¯―¯٥) (¯―¯٥)

matoba as a sentinel was where my mind first jumped to, with his sensitivity and awareness and exorcism skills for youkai, on an unprecedented level, even as heir of a known powerful clan like the matoba

but!! but because of his powers as a sentinel and the kind of vague emotion-sensing ability he has, he's used to being surrounded by too many cynical, power-hungry, ruthlessly utilitarian outlooks, that also makes him sort of vulnerable in a way, making him more likely to view ppl with a cold, cynical eye

also his eyepatch has an additional ability to sort of 'calm down' his powers a bit as a stop-gap but it doesn't always work

i could see natori as being from an old clan of well-known guides...who eventually lost more and more of their powers because of their guides joining other clans when they did bond with a sentinel or something something of that sort. also maybe clans with lots of guides were known to have informal connections/alliances with clans known to turn out powerful sentinels, but the natori clan refused to do so way in the past

anyways! this manifests in natori being very charming, and knowing how to elicit the right emotional reactions he wants out of ppl

also something something, being able to draw matoba seiji's attention just to him, and blocking out the clamor of the rest of the crowd around matoba seiji

also their powers definitely kind of settle and amplify when they are around each other :))

that's as far as my ramblings went hahahah

In this weird area where I don't know if I really want to die or if I just wish I wanted to die or if I actually am just being dramatic and attention seeking and it will all get better if I only shut up about it but probably not since I already tries that
