I feel like... Perhaps... Arguing that transphobia is defined by murder and that anything other than murder doesn't even matter... May NOT be conducive to fighting for trans rights.
Like... people want the right to exist as they are. They want to have access to hrt and surgeries and prosthetics. People want access to clothes that fit them and reflect how they want to be seen. People want access to medical care (eg. Getting screened and treated for sex-based forms of cancer can be impossible if you have the "wrong" sex listed to receive those tests). People want to be respected and treated well. People want to not be sexually assaulted and beaten and abused. People want to have access to housing and jobs, and the protection to not lose those things for being trans. People want access to shelters for homeless people or survivors of domestic abuse. People want name changes.
Acting like all of those things don't matter because at least they weren't murderered by an individual (and instead die of suicide or state violence, or survive and suffer) isn't okay.
I guess at this point in the show's official history, the only way Blood Moon could stay alive without hurting anyone and retaining his personality would be for them to reduce his size to what he originally was when Lunar first met him. In this way the only fatal victims would be the rats.
Make him smol again.... fjdnsvka please
I wouldnt mind that in the canon if they really wanted to like keep him but not Danger to everyone.
Altho nothing quite wins the first lunar and bloodmoon episodes
i genuinely could never be a borrower. i cannot climb a rope and am frequently riddled with pains and ailments. ur telling me i have to scale the equivalent of a three story building just to get some saltine crackers? i’d rather rot and die

i have an idea but it involves me having to create something and then forget about it for the next three years or so until enough time has passed that a thin film of irony and disconnect has been created between the current (that is to say, future) me and the product of my labour
so hopefully therein i shall feel comfortable enough to bare that particular part of my creative soul to the world. alas, it requires creating something. now. that is the hard part, isnt it
uhhh something something 'the only time a yakuza should laugh with his teeth is when he's with family or in trouble' something something arakawa gradually doing so more and more when hanging around jo something something Uh Oh™️
i was emotional about the amount of people that choose to take asta seriously last night again like the people that choose to see asta as something legitimate, a threat to becoming the wizard king, a rival, a squadmate, someone who's more than able to protect himself. the amount of authority figures that go out of their way to be kind. the wizard king himself taking asta seriously. the members of the black bulls willingly accepting asta into the fold and being so convinced of his dream, yuno declaring asta his rival to the point where he actively challenges him because yuno takes him seriously, leopold and fuegoleon actively saying he's worth fighting and he's going to be a good magic knight. listen. listen.
All your ninjago art reblogging has hit me hard with a realisation of fucking why do people bother to make Zane black if their gonna just give him the whitest blonde hair and blue eyes. It would be one thing if his hair was dyed but they put no effort into showing that it is, and he still has the brightest blue eyes ever. I get that they like the colour contrast, I get that they wanna show his ice connections, but if you wanna make a character black then at LEAST drop the euro centric beauty standards oh my god.
i do agree that I actually would like to see more of Zane with light hair that resembles actual bleached hair + brown eyes if he's going to be depicted as black.
Though I do think for the blue eyes part it is largely based on him being a robot, so like he's got led eyes that glow blue. maybe I'm not the best person to ask if this is bad or not, but I'm personally ok with this. It's not like ppl are supposed to think that's realistic (they're glowing robot eyes) + if ur depicting the other characters with non-eurocentric eye colors (like please. they're like all asian ....) as it further shows it's simply a robot feature (You can also argue his hair not resembling dyed hair is also bc of robot stuff like. Artificial hair ig??? Idk how I fully feel abt that one though)
but even then he does occasionally don looks where he's supposed to blend in with humans, so blue eyes can be a bit odd for that (in s8 though his human disguise had blue eyes in it... But whatever).
Another thing that would be cool actually for Zane to have light hair + blue eyes is for him to be an albino black guy. I do not see a lot of ppl depict characters in general like this, so it would be, as I said, Cool to see that. Still doesn't mean u can skimp out on making sure his features aren't eurocentric in this one as he's still black here
grain of salt for my takes on this since I'm not black I'm just passionate abt diversity in character design, feel free to wreck my shit or add onto it if ur more qualified to talk about it <:] ,,
