can i say something that might’ve already been talked about? we are is so representative of being queer and surrounding yourself with other queer people. like. these characters love each other intensely through their friendships which is already unique to this show because we get to see all of it too. it isn’t just implied that they would do anything for each other we see that through their actions AND words. and then on top of that they created a huge family within each other that never leaves anyone out. they tease each other over their feelings and they bully each other (affectionately) over stupid things. and it’s just so queer. like. idk. if you get it you get it. ​it feels so realistic in its depiction of being gay with gay friends while navigating relationships and college.

I think one of my favourite things about Alice Oseman and her work is that she does a perfect job of making every teenager feel heard and represented. Throughout the osemanverse, she has managed to capture the essence of all kinds of social, economic, and ethnic backgrounds. On top of that, her characters all have a certain sense of relatability. for example, characters like Georgia Warr and Angel Rahimi - they really are just seemingly "normal" teenage girls, and yet, alice still manages to create an exciting and unique plot with these characters in the centre of it all. Along with that, she also represents mental health struggles in most, if not all of her work without making it the entire plot, which can help to educate a diverse range of people about certain struggles, while still keeping the integrity of the charicter. For example, Charlie Spring. Several types of mental health struggles are represented through Charlie's journey, and yet it doesn't become his entire legacy.

She's probably one of the best writers of this generation.

im a sucker for an orchestral piece where you can feel the desperation, the sadness, the longing. where it eats you up in a way thats indescribable. I want to fell every single emotion in a piece, I want it to give me goosebumps, make me understand what it's trying to convey. like yes tell me what you're trying to say with just beautiful sounds, I want it all

It breaks my heart that it's nearly Christmas and I can't send my best friend a gift. Poland banned sending any packages/letters to Russia.

Before the pandemic I was supposed to fly out and see them, but the said pandemic hit. Now I can't take a flight there, cause all the things happening in Russia and Ukraine.

I just want to get the chance to hug them, go to concert togheter. Just want to hang out with them. Just let me have this one fucking thing. Just let me meet them, please 🥲

one of the most infuriating things about becoming an adult is when you realize that it actually is 10x easier to solve problems by making a phone call vs literally any other communication method

Was forced to get a new phone today

one of the things that was important to me when writing blur turns to haze is to set limits of what i was willing to depict. and i do think those limits came more from instinct than from a fully formed opinion when i was first writing it but more and more ive seen things here and there that i feel dont have the same amount of respect for the weight of the topic and it rubs me the wrong way. so im sort of starting to form that opinion.

maybe im being a hypocrite because the "truth" in blur turns to haze & related fics is not very clear. there are two unreliable narrators and if you take their statements at face value i would probably be crossing my own boundaries. and again those boundaries are basically logic built on a projection of my own fears. i recognize that and i dont want to seem like im saying im objectively correct or anyone has to do what i say and follow my rules. im just saying i see things that make me uncomfortable sometimes.

anyway its specifically about psychiatry & autonomy. at the end of the day i dont think its strictly wrong for anyone to write anything but i do think it makes a difference how you relate to that system of power. and of course thats personal information but sometimes you can kind of tell. or guess. and nothing is straightforward or without context or without preconceived biases. you can tell yourself otherwise but sometimes the opinion comes first and you work backwards to find a reason.

its all basically made up and opinions are thoughts that snowball out of control. its not fact but its not nothing. its a personal experience which is why even though its annoying to keep things inside its not a good idea to talk about it. its diplomatic

i’ll never understand people who can’t make fun of their faves a little. like yes i love this character and would defend them to my grave but also they’re stupid sometimes and they do dumb things and imma make fun of them for it

The manga industry, especially JUMP, needs to hurry up and do away with weekly scheduling for mangaka. There needs to better regulations put into place for their health and safety because this is pitiful. Two weeks - monthly updates should’ve already been the standard for the manga industry at this point. These money grabbers will only continue to put the lives of these artists at stake for the sake of capitalism unless some serious changes are implemented.

hey um, this might be an unpopular opinion rn, but you need to examine antisemitism in your thoughts and actions and communities even when it isn't politically convenient or socially acceptable to.

i would argue that it's actually even more important and necessary to examine and challenge antisemitism when it isn't politically convenient, cus that's when antisemitism is most likely to be rearing its ugly head again.

that's how fascism gets you - by making you believe that bigotry in your community is actually the "right thing to do".

don't fall into the trap.

love and support Jewish people now more than ever.

as a child I wondered why adults were so stupid (doing things out of habit/routine/heuristics rather than reasoning explicitly about what to do based on their goals) and the answer is that adults are unimaginably fucking tired all the time

There’s something terribly poetic in the inevitability of events in EPIC. The choices Odysseus is given lead to no win situations. They aren’t really choices at all.

Kill a foe’s child or witness the death of your own. Sacrifice six men or sacrifice them all. Allow your crew to starve or watch as they slaughter sacred cattle.

Sacrifice your friends, your brothers, or give up your last chance at reaching home.

In the end, the result is always the same. He destroys himself
