not to be a sensitive, insurable snowflake, but there are three trends that bother me, so

there's this art trend where people will show parents missgendering their child saying "meet my son/daughter _____", and the son/daughter is then a super fememenine passing attractive trans woman or a super masculine passing attractive trans man, and what theyre trying to day is that the parent is being ridiculous in missgendering their child

similarly, there was this trend that where rlly passing trans men would post themselves w the caption "do you really want me in your daughter's restroom?" or something along those lines

the reason these trends bother me is bc there's just this wierd underlying sentiment that the validity of a person's gender is determined by their ability to pass and that just doesn't sit right with me personally,,,

like maybe I'm just being dumb and reading too much into it but especially with that second one like you're really not helping trans women by saying "look how masculine I am!! you wouldn't want some MASCULINE MALE in the bathroom with your daughter right?" and I get it's trying to flip transphobic logic on to terfs or wtv but all its rlly doing is adhering to wierd gender stereotypes

similarly, again, I saw this post that was like, "Matt Walsh is being so delusional calling this (trans) man a she, look at him he has a fully grown beard!!! He's obviously a man!"

cause like, again there's this subtle messege ur sending that a person's gender only deserves to be respected if they pass, like okay is a trans man no longer a man if he's pre everything and doesn't pass? Is a trans woman then a man if she has a beard??? wierd

transphobia is inherently illogical, guys. Therefore, you can not beat transphobes by using their own logic

thank you for coming to my Ted talk

Theory time on the whole "ADA member transfers to PM" deal and why I genuinely think this was part of Dazai's plan (loooong post):

Based on what we have, I actually think we can assume that Fukuzawa, Ranpo, Dazai, all of the higher ups in the PM, and the govt. are aware of the deal and that Dazai will go back. Here's why:

Prior to Fyodor's arrest, Dazai had been maintaining an essentially crimeless record (and if he does do something morally questionable, he either had government backing from Ango, or was done in a way that can't be pointed back to him).

However, before anything could progress in S4, Dazai purposely put himself out in public to get arrested. I'd even argue that he had Ango purposely release some of his old crimes rather than it being written on the ripped page of the book (and if it was actually written in the book, then Dazai must have anticipated it in the first place because he knows Fyodor would do that).

This idea is further cemented by the fact that Ango, Mori, and Chuuya are actually aware of what Dazai is doing (more than the ADA even). Dazai had contacts in and out of Mersault ready before his arrest.

To make these plans in the first place, Dazai had to have talked to (at least) Mori and Ango. This would have to be roughly around the same time as when Mori and Fukuzawa made a deal. What if all of this was just one meeting?

Because let's face it. Fukuzawa only saying "except Yosano" was such a red flag moment. If there was anyone Mori would have wanted back in his control, it would either be his angel of death or his demon prodigy. The conversation must not have ended there...

Also, why was this deal even created in the first place? I feel like there could have been a different agreement, and this just looks like an excuse to get Dazai to go back. Fukuzawa agreeing with this deal is weird because he knows what the PM is like. Why would he subject his employees to possibly experience working there?

Dazai may have actually purposely put himself up for the taking in preparation to a future enemy that needed him back in the PM- back in his hometurf with all the manpower he could command and to give soukoku the free reign they had once again (without the limitations of the law on Dazai).

So anyway, now we have Dazai with his crimes leaked, which would have been fine alone because it could be played off as part of what was written on the page, but then he kills some guards in Mersault and commits jailbreak, along with several other crimes in just 30 minutes. In addition, he is clearly shown to be working with Chuuya, a well-known criminal, who has also committed several crimes while there.

Say what you will about Mersault security (which is actually good but just couldn't keep the demons on hold lmao), but they would 100% have records of what Dazai had done there. Even if he could be considered crimeless before, he can no longer be called crimeless again now. His actions here are beyond the manipulations of the book. To have these crimes (in France) erased would require the government to have an agreement with another country and to have Dazai go into hiding for some time again (doable, but troublesome).

That leaves us to the fact that Dazai is back to willingly committing crimes and partnering up with Chuuya as Soukoku for an extended period of time. All of these acts are known to Mori and Ango.

This implies that the choice had been made prior to S4, and this is why Dazai could do all these crazy schemes.

This also clears up why Ranpo and Fukuzawa no longer consider Dazai in the ADA roster recently. Not because they don't care for him, but because he is secretly no longer part of the ADA in the first place, and Dazai's safety is now under the concern of the PM.

Scarily enough, this could also possibly set up Dazai as the next boss of the PM in preparation for the next big enemy. One thing some people in the fandom noticed was that Mori had mentioned before that Dazai would become the boss when he turns 23. This fits in the timeline well because Dazai is several months (or maybe even weeks) closer to his 23rd birthday (or he may already be 23 right now). All of this may have been pre-planned for longer than we think.

Also, as a personal opinion on the other possible transfer candidates, they actually have better hold on the ADA and would not function well in the PM.

The PM would clash with Kunikida's ideals (though it would be interesting to have the future leader of the ADA be put in the PM the same way the future leader of the PM was employed in the ADA)

Tanizaki would be a great candidate, especially for his skills (and it would be interesting to have another redhead in the PM hahaha), but I highly doubt Naomi would take his transfer sitting down (Naomi would probably even attempt to join the PM) and, in turn, Junichiro would hate to bring his sister in the PM as well. Tanizaki's entire shtick involves his care for his sister, and taking that away brings him back to having no motivation to go crazy.

Atsushi is actually my 2nd option. Moving Atsushi to the PM would make him learn more about how the PM functions, and this allows SSKK to spend more time building their relationship. Chuuya could watch over the two of them as an aide to Dazai's mentoring, and this could lead to more character growth for Atsushi. Unfortunately, this voids Atsushi's plans to learn how to fight under Kunikida's tutelage, and the "no killing" deal with Akutagawa slightly lessens its impact because they would now be in the criminal organization rather than the opposing one (I'd rather have Akutagawa join the ADA tbh. This would further cement the "no killing" idea that Atsushi demands of him and build the SSKK partnership.)

Kenji is also a good bet, but the PM already has Chuuya, which makes having Kenji redundant. Kyoka would not return without an all out brawl and would actually waste all the efforts from S2. Ranpo would be insufferable lmao, and he is not made for Mafia types of strategy (he's smart! But he is not here for the manipulation and long chess matches. He doesn't have the patience for that when he can get straight to the point), and I'm not sure who in the PM he would have synergy with yet...he works best as a detective.

NOW, I may be wrong, because who knows what Asagiri will pull on us, and all of this is based on what is shown (I'm not sure if we could trust it lol), but this is the theory I came up with based on my understanding of events. Dazai planned to go back, and the tripartite knows of it.

Before anyone says this is a waste of Dazai's character development, I'd argue that there may be a misconception as to what Dazai is actually here to learn.

Odasaku knows that good and evil does not matter to Dazai. Dazai choosing to save people is not Dazai's character growth because he has ALWAYS been capable of that despite his unconventional means. The real character growth that Dazai needed was that there was a world beyond the darkness that he insists on putting himself in, and that he is capable humanity. Mori realized this too by proving the humanity in Dazai by chasing him out with Odasaku's death. Dazai has also realized this, and is now ready to return to his hellhole as a new man touched by the light. He is ready to be a leader, not the tyrant that he would have been without this lesson. Mori just prevented another insane mafia boss from taking the throne.

In addition, the PM has repeatedly been defined as the organization that protects the city in the dark. Being in the PM does not hinder Dazai from saving people (again, they've done so before while there). This might actually give him more power to move around and defend Yokohama more efficiently.

I guess this is it for now. I may have missed some things, but these are my main arguments for now hehe

I firmly believe that, originally, Liu Kang had expected that the champion would be Kenshi. Now, don’t get him wrong. Any champion would be fine by him, he trusts them all and loves them all. And it would’ve made sense that Kenshi would be the one to win, as he was the one with the most experience out of the four champions.

But when Kenshi was defeated, it took him by surprise that this man, Kenshi, who escaped the yakuza. Who was more skilled in fighting terms, that had more experience, had lost.

That put Liu Kang slightly on edge. Because it meant that his champion would be either Johnny, Raiden or Kung Lao. When Johnny lost, his nerves weren’t appealed. But when Kung Lao lost, it felt like he could breath again.

His brain making him remember when his friend had died on his timeline. He trusts Kung Lao, he trusts him as a person and he trusts his strength. But he’s still grateful that it wouldn’t be Kung Lao the one to face Shao Ka—General Shao.

Even if this new tournament, that he himself organized, didn’t required for anyone to die, like in his timeline, Liu Kang—despite all the eons that had passed— still had it fresh in his skull when his friend died. The celebrations that the public had made when Kung Lao’s inert, cold, dead body hit the arena. The way his eyes were wide open, staring at nothing, and how the bone of the neck was slightly peeking out through the skin.

Liu Kang doesn’t think he will ever forget any of it.

controversial and/or rare take on cheng xiaoshi GOOOO

ooh omg i’ve been in this fandom for like 3 minutes HAUSHDJDJ idk what’s controversial and/or rare BUT. have three random thoughts. i’m so sorry if this is not what u asked for

- i think cxs is bi with a preference for girls (lg didn’t know, saw cxs date two girls and was like i’m cooked)

- cxs would be the best driver of the trio. he’s level headed and chill and go with the flow and careful. lg gets road rage but in a quiet, seething way and ql just Doesn’t Want To Drive Unless She Has To

- cxs had a phase in life (like right after his parents disappeared) when, if pissed off, he would bark at people. like a dog. only ql has known him for long enough to remember. she very wisely refrains from bringing it up

yeah i’m very certain that this didn’t answer the ask IM SORRY LMFAOOO here’s another one just for fun. i don’t believe it but i’m putting it here for the amusement of the person who said it just in case they see it LMAO:

- cxs would look better as a ginger

THANKS FOR THE ASK! :]

[itzkawaiiduh]

Keep thinking about Will and how he died— or what I theorize... I'm actually losing my mind each day as I try to figure out how elements in his spectre tie into his death.

Tied up and thrown away into the snow? To wolves? (Thrown to the wolves metaphor and it snowed terribly during the Dust Bowl; my working theory is that he's from the 30s/Great Depression based on the peaches, water and the patched robes. This is coming from a person who grew up on a farm and moved to the city. Also dying of drought or hypothermia is a horrible way to go because you're aware that your body is slowly shutting down)

Did he die in a fire? I couldn't see the "died in a fire" being used twice but you'll never know. Why does his body disappear into wax when he gets caught? Why is it wax?

Did he die a John Doe? Was his body not found until it hit the final stages of decomposition and no DNA could be used to find him? Shows how forgettable he was. Or did someone find his body but chose to keep his real name under a different alias like William Wilson?

His spectre is kind of covered in dirt/looks old, so I wonder if he has a secondary short story connecting to his death; I'm talking about The Premature Burial and being buried alive.

House of Mirrors type of murder? Does connect to his original story, and the theater mask motif. (Also this was taken from inspiration in IT, with Pennywise and Bill in the House of Mirrors in a circus. (I have never seen IT but I saw this clip) )

Does he have siblings? A twin?

I have so many questions! And theories, but this are just what have been on my mind so far.

Him, Prospero, and Morella hadn't got a death reveal, but we know the feeling Propsero and Morella felt when they manifested, but not William. We have NOTHING about him. I am however, thinking a feeling of confusion he felt; a good neutral feeling

if y'all made it to the end thank you for reading my yapping session, love yall

Human AM

Its genuinely perfect how yall are making AM human yet giving him one little quirk that keep him from being completely human. I see people hating on human AM designs because it "defeats the point of the character" while instead its perfect. I see people make him human but unable to talk, keeping him from being entirely human, and also making him a tumblr sexymanified twink which also prevents him from just being a normal human. He's trying so hard convince himself and the others that he is human– that he can be human– but giving him those little quirks keeps him from being human. Its the perfect irony. Keep making him a twink, keep taking away his mouth. Its genuinely perfect.
