#im aware I could be an adult

[spitblaze]

I guess Chilchuck has brought us right back to 'adults who are short are child-coded and if you like them you're a pedophile' discourse huh

My best friend and I hate the same person (our mother in law) and I'm currently trying to convince my beloved that we should role-play omegaverse at Thanksgiving dinner every time mother in law interjects into our conversation.

Our respective partners are obviously the omegas in this scenario. (Bless their hearts, they don't know what they're in for.)

I think there's some irony to the witcher books that while Ciri is the main character - it is all about her - the only reason the books etc have had the success they do is because it's from a man's perspective. If the books were from Yennefer's pov they definitely wouldn't have had the reach they do, and if they were wholly from Ciri's pov I doubt they'd be much more than a beloved but overlooked ya fantasy. I adore the Tamora Pierce books - Ciri's story isn't too far from Alanna's and yet there's not the same audience/ reach for Tamora Pierce.

the thing about chilshi is that i see it as super one-sided on chilchuck's part and that's some shit he's bringing to the grave with him

[james-spooky]

this is a test

i think for the shitty scorpion family, their entire dynamic is definitely toxic (heh) but also neither dusk nor bruno is an inherently terrible person? its just that they’re a) horrible together longterm as they are and b) people who should not have had kids.

While I do think the setup and payoff of Koujaku's route is a successful and good use of subversion (big supporting character throughout the common route, then just gone for most of his own route so, you, the player can experience the strain on his and Aoba's relationship in real-time, mmm, delicious) it does still make me laugh that when you get to Platinum Jail with him he just fucks off immediately.

In hindsight and with all the information after you finish playing it, yes, it makes more sense, but at the time???

BRO?? we have an evil corporation to stop?? BRO?? WHERE ARE YOU GOING?? HELLO??

Y'know what honestly frustrates me about the JJK fandom?

When people make stuff that's like JJK 0 Gojo and Getou talking or whatever, and it's like Getou being totally deadpan about all the horrible things he's doing/going to do/believes in *insert various types of wholesale murder here* and Gojo just laughs along, treating it like it's a joke and Getou's so cute and funny.

Like, no.

Gojo did NOT indulge Getou's philosophy. That was The Whole Point.

What do you think the whole encounter on the street in front of a random KFC was about? That's why there was such a deep divide between them. That's why Gojo was furious and disbelieving. That's why they didn't see or talk to each other for TEN YEARS even thought they were best friends.

Because Getou killed people, chose to kill people, and chose to keep killing people. Because he dehumanized an entire, MASSIVE group of people who were good, bad, kind, cruel, and everything in between, men, women, children, everyone, simply because of something they couldn't help and didn't even know about. Because he took advantage of those that Gojo had decided and felt duty-bound- even though he didn't like it much- to protect.

(And all that came BEFORE Geotu ever stepped into the picture. Yeah, Gojo whines about having to protect the weak and admittedly thinks it's a drag, but he still does it. He was raised with the ideal that he should do it.

That wasn't a Getou thing. Getou believing in that as a teenager did change the way Gojo saw it, but it wasn't New. He already was raised that way, believed that way, and intended to live that way, or why go to Jujutsu High at all? Even if he found it annoying, he was still always going to become a sorcerer, not only because it was kind of his only option- which is it's own kind of horrible- but because he was a sorcerer, down to his bones.

He had that madness in him, and maybe it was nurtured, but that doesn't change the fact that it was there. He wanted to be a sorcerer, loved fighting and killing curses, whether it had anything to do with helping others or not.)

I know it's just fanart and fandom, and look, I myself really like art of Gojo and Getou in their good days. They were kids and they were happy. While I don't ship them, they were best friends, and their own kind of soulmates, I've never not believed that, it's too forking obvious. Gege practically shoves it down our throats and literally designed them to balance each other and be Messed Up Forever when they split. Every official art we see of the two of them practically has them as each other's reflections. I know, okay? I can't not know.

I just get really frustrated when Gojo's disregarded like that. He is his own person with his own beliefs who's made his own choices. They both are. And maybe it's dumb to get up in arms about a story that's not even real, but Gojo's a really imperfect person who struggles and suffers, and at the end of the day? He tries his best.

Even with all the power in the world, he's still only human. He can still only do so much. He's expected to be more than he is a lot of the time, and still he really tries. He wants to make the world better. He wants to make life better for the next generation. He has, in a way, given up on himself, but he's still going, because he knows his place in the world is still one that needs filling.

That's a narrative that means a lot to me. It's disheartening when it's misinterpreted because of the fun, silly, giggly side of his personality, or the reckless, careless, cocky side, both of which are wonderfully, excruciatingly human.

That's all.

fh fandom back to wishing death on a fictional teenager for being mentally ill and not learning how to cope with that in a healthy way. what else is new

[acreamearedsweeper]

I love stories of non-human entities struggling with their humanity. Monsters, robots, AI, things from beyond the stars, something that was made in the image of man but is very much Not Human.

Learning how to love and be loved. To experience joy and pain. To gain something that is your own. To lose it all and grieve. Are you immortal? How do you view the world from ageless eyes? How do you cope against losing your immortality? Do you cry, lash out, struggle against the night? Do you accept it coldly and embrace the end of your story? To believe in forces that can't be observed. Luck, God, fate? What happens when you die? Are you returned to the earth? Become star dust? Or come back in a different form? Do you refuse to think about it, because to acknowledge it would be to mourn your present self?

What limits are you willing to push yourself for what you love? To lose, to fight, to kill? Did you know of humanity? Did you look down on humans? Revere them? If you are cut, do you bleed?

Were you always under the impression you were human? One day you took a stumble, and inside your arms there were wires. How did you view the concept of yourself? Did you love? What can you call feelings if you have no chemicals in your brain?

Humanity so much is struggling and fear, but it is also magic in the small things and compassion. Have you watched a sunset? Could you comprehend the concept of one?

You may hate and wage war, lose and shed your skin, die by your own hands or kiss your lover one last time. But above all you love, you love, you love.
