the way kano had to go through all that and is really the same as ayano in the sense of "i have to pretend to be ok and do bad things for the sake of my family" but hoping so deeply someone will help them. and it's the same person for both of them. shintaro comes in and gets ayano from the daze and (mostly in novel route) sort of gets all the responsibility off kano by creating the plan to go face saeru. sorry for my kanoshinaya bullshit again it just drives me crazy. kano has bad taste this ayano has bad taste that. youd be down bad for that guy too if u were in their place bro.

The Kombat Kids try teaching Frost how to read:

Cassie: Here. Start on page one. Try to sound it out.

Frost: Owon Fis-huh. Twoah fis-huh.

Takeda: Are you serious?

Frost: Shut up! You picked a hard one on purpose!

Takeda: It’s Dr. Seuss, you fucking idiot!

Lego Monkie Kid, Mekakucity Actors AU, Who Would Be Who

Bc I've had this AU plaguing my mind for AGES, and I need to get it out and for it to plague other peoples' minds. Not a Huge Deep Dive, but just a list of who in LMK would be in the role of what Mekaku character. All of these choices are based off vibes, what makes most sense, and what hurts me the most emotionally.

MK, as Kano Shuuya:

Mei, as Tsubomi Kido:

Red Son, as Kousuke Seto(bc making trafficlight trio the og 3 Mekakushi Dan members aligned too perfectly):

Six-Eared Macaque, as Shintaro Kisaragi(bc making Mac a self-loathing, loser hikki-NEET shut-in is funny /affectionate):

Sun Wukong, as Ayano Tateyama(If you know Mekakucity Actors/KagePro in general, you're gonna wanna hit me with bricks for this one lol):

Host Girl/Baihe, as Marry Kozakura(Once again, you're gonna want to hit me with bricks for this one lmao):

Lady Bone Demon, as Azami-sama:

Tang, as Kenjirou Tateyama:

Pigsy, as Ayaka Tateyama(Third time you're gonna want to hit me with bricks):

Golden Peng, as Takane Enomoto/Ene:

Azure Lion, as Haruka Kokonose/Konoha(Just go with it, trust me on this):

Aaaaand, I have no clue who to have be in the role of Hibiya and Hiyori in this AU. I could possibly have Nezha be Hibiya, but GOD do i fucking hate the Western side of the fandom's insistence on saying Nezha is eternally 11/12, when that's absolutely wrong. If anyone who's into both LMK and KagePro has any ideas of who could be Hibiya and Hiyori, by all means give me suggestions.

its actually so sad how underdeveloped konoha is like i actually think in all the written medias (novels anime and manga) hes the least developed character...... like i think him and hibihiyo played very minor roles in the manga iirc and he barely did anything in the novels (or anime! iirc).

considering that summertime record is literally very much about him (but through haruka's eyes), i really figure he should play a much bigger role that isnt just being possessed yknow. konoha and saeru are just so interesting bc they are the only two snakes that exist without the need of a conscious host.. and how they both essentially embody the same wish:

konoha: i want to be with my friends

saeru: i want to be with my friends forever

like konoha is born from a dying boy's desire to spend more time with his friend.... hes so nice and kind and weird and selfless like summertime record shows him interacting with so many mkd members but in actual canon we dont actually get to see that very much.... ACK.........

this was about kano and ayano's first meeting when kano's like "she's got a refined face, she'll totally marry a well qualified man and have a good family someday" she just fell from the monkey bars and you're like seven shut the fuck up

reading the kagepro novels is a bunch of *pov character says something stupid* "hahaha oh pov character you always crack me up!!!" *pov character says Something Stupid* "oh, jin. i know it's you, jin. i know it's not pov character, jin."

It's interesting how the same misogynistic trope can reappear, independently, in different countries. I'm reading "Scream from the shadows: the women's liberation movement in Japan" and this section about the connotations of the word 'woman' is interesting:

In the Japanese context, the semantic distinctions between the terms fujin, josei, and onna, which are all translated as “women” and/or “woman,” must be given careful attention, as they often signal political differences. Ribu [women's lib] activists deliberately chose and reappropriated onna, a term for woman that can be used in a pejorative manner with sexual or lower-class connotations. As noted by Kano Masanao, the term onna approximated a discriminatory word (sabetsu go). It signified the raw and total being that had to be liberated. According to linguistics scholar Orie Endo, its strong sexual implications made it a term that could “be substituted for many sexually related terms, such as mistress or prostitute,” and this was considered disrespectful, taboo, even “dirty.”

As a kid, I never liked the word 'woman' because it often sounded sexual to me, and I hated the way it was used. "My vices are alcohol, cigarettes, and women" - treating 'women' as equivalent as objects. "Love going to Colombia and seeing all the beautiful women" - treating 'women' as sightseeing objects. "You've known her since she was a girl, now watch her become a woman" - being a 'woman' is to be a passive sex object that is (often against her will) penetrated.

I used to think this was my personal issue with the word, but I've since learned other women also felt the same way about the word. And apparently in Japan, the word we foreigners are taught is the default word for woman (we learn woman = onna and man = otoko) is also subject to being sexualized, objectified, and degraded. What the Japanese 'ribu' activists did was to reclaim the word onna to mean a woman who was a subject, who was free to pursue sexual pleasure for herself and not for men. In other words, the degradation of the word for 'woman' isn't just something that happens in English, but in other languages and cultures. In this case, it does not appear to be a result of Western colonization, either.

If you haven't read much feminist work outside your home country (or about the West), I strongly recommend doing so. The more you learn about feminists in other countries, the more you realize that the form sexism takes is eerily universal.
