a BIG part of the lore of Dungeon Meshi is how ageism is bad. About how the long lived races treat the young lived races like children and thus infantilize them and do not show them the respect and understanding they deserve simply because of their looks or short life spans. Whether its because to them they look like children in their eyes (like half foots and gnomes) or because the adult ages of the younger lived races are still in the child ages for the longer lived ones and so they get treated/viewed as children (we see otta receive comments about getting with minors when in reality she dated adult half foot women. so we already see this view towards things like this are a thing in the lore) We see this with chilchuck, senshi, and marcille where the two later view chilchuck as a child and treat him like one even though he is a full grown man who drinks (and is supposed to have grey hairs) all because he looks young and in the newest episode its revealed he is 29 which is still young children to the two of them. We see how perspectives that characters are children because of their age being a childs age for a different race as opposed to their race or because they look like children is a completely infantilizing and disrespectful behavior that causes so many problems in the long run. a theme that is completely flying over the average tumblr users head.

ive seen people get furious at other people because they sexualize chilchuck and even marcille

“oh they look like kids so dont do that you freak”

you absolute fool you missed a major theme of the fucking story. But because they look young suddenly they are children? have you paid no attention to the story? did you just ignore how the ageisim and weird mindset about ages like that causes so many issues that could easily have been avoided. and as for the age one i see people getting furious at others for being into and sexualizing izutsumi even though she is a year past adult in tall man years, but because she isnt in the adult age range in real life (wild your applying real life society standards to a fictional medieval fantasy world). even though even in lore she would be well an adult able to get married and everything tumblr really does have the media literacy of a toddler.

*Ages of this post based on information from Jason and Tim's original runs in the 80s, as im still in the process of reading the comics and I respect original runs more anyway

Jason was 12 (pre-crisis, not contradicted) when Bruce adopted him at some point after Dick left, and Dick had left Wayne Manor for about 2 years by the time Jason died (Batman #436) making Jason 14 at death, to turn 15 that year if his birthday is August 16th

Tim is 13 when he introduces himself after Jason's death (Batman #441)

They have like, a 1-2 year age difference

Jason returns to life 6 months after his death, spends 1 year in the hospital, then 1 year on the streets before someone recognizes him as Robin, then 1 year with the league of assassin's before being thrown into the pit (Batman Annual #25)

A total of 3 years with Jason running on just instinct and muscle memory before being healed by the pit

Therefore, Jason, while physically older, is largely missing 3 years of his life

Jason is younger than Tim

Thank you coming to my ted talk

it's so funny to me that so many people who read Wilder Girls were SHOCKED that Hetty and Reese just left the island instead of going back to save the other girls, as if it hadn't been stablished from the beginning that all the girls at Raxter pretty much take care of their own friends and say fuck it to everybody else

like what do you mean this girl who repeatedly said she cared more about finding Byatt and protecting Reese than anything else chose finding Byatt and protecting Reese over everything else in the end???? atrocious, who could have ever seen that coming lmao

Overturned German festival music is playing in the background, the benches are breaking, people are standing on the table, it’s cold af outside, grass slippery from the beer on the ground, the smell of grilled Nürnberger Bratwurst is in the air, people are screaming and fighting, your friends are lost and not to be found, your phone is missing and you don’t know what time it is and the 8 beer you drowned are hitting you all at once and the shots from playing Busfahren aren’t helping, at last you suddenly hear police sirens

… y’know. I know it’s simply the nature of the Internet, but there’s something both oddly lovely and dreadful about how things can just… cease to be. Just stop being there. Vanish into dust, save perhaps hollowed ruins should anyone think to archive it, faint echoes of what once was.

Only ghosts remain.

one of these days we're going to have to reckon with how we talk about and treat fan authors, especially new writers, relative to other fan content like fan art. the blatant and casual disrespect directed towards fic writers is so normalized and i guess not-so-oddly mirrors how (at least the western side) the world has treated authors through the years. if i took half of what is said about fan authors or specifically their work, and applied that to fan art or fan artists, i have no doubt that i would be ripped to shreds.

anyway. if you guys could. like. just refrain from casually dropping how bad you think authors are or how shitty we are at making things. that would be swell.

Purely self indulgent because I am looking at wedding rings right now and got curious but… I know you said Touya-nii and reader would probably never get formally married but… what kind of ring would he give his princess? You write him as such a methodical person and the way you described him doing so much research for her collar I can only assume he’d put the same amount of effort into a ring for her

WEEEEE HEHEHE OKAYYYY first of all i need you to know that irregardless of whether they’re able to marry or not, he would absolutely get her a ring (actually i began writing this piece where like, they’re at fuyumi’s wedding and it’s soooo beautiful and reader is so in awe of it all but then she gets rly sad because :((( she’ll never be able to have an event like this with her and her niichan :(( so to cheer her up he takes her out wedding dress shopping & buys her her favourite dress so she can at least wear it around the flat if she wants to etc etc like all of the fixings, they go cake tasting and pick out catering menus and look at venues and aaaall of that so he can at least provide her with that experience even if they can’t officially marry, because he wants his baby happy and he wants to give her the best <3). it doesn’t mean as much to him personally as the collar does (because of course it doesn’t, because the collar symbolizes something so much more permanent) but he gets her one just to see her smile and giggle and cry <3

you’re 100% right; he puts an extreme amount of thought and effort into choosing the perfect ring for her. he goes with tiffany’s, of course, because he likes the amount of customization they offer, allowing the client to choose the carat weight, colour, and clarity, and he admires their dedication to offering the most perfect diamonds they can find.

ultimately, he goes with the tiffany soleste cushion-cut double halo engagement ring, with the matching diamond platinum wedding band. it takes him and the tiffany consultants several months to find the clearest, shiniest, biggest diamond possible for the ring, with touya rejecting multiple offers and deeming them not perfect enough for his precious baby. the employees are nothing but sweet and accommodating to him, especially since he’s paying upwards of $100k (approx. 13mil yen) for this thing. they understand, they promise him, the importance of finding the right diamond for the right girl, and they will work tirelessly with him until they achieve it.

he decides on this ring in particular for two reasons: 1. it is extravagantly gorgeous, a true piece of wearable art fit for a true princess, and he knows it’ll look so pretty on her finger; and 2. he loves the double halo; it reminds him of him and her, reminds him of the way he surrounds her and protects her and holds her close to his heart, reminds him of how they are more one—one living, breathing consciousness that moves in perfect synchronization, glued together for eternity, irrevocable, irremovable—than two separate entities now <3

he definitely has a bit of trouble choosing between this version of the soleste vs the version with the heart shaped diamond in the middle, because he knows she’d find that one so cute, but he ultimately chooses this one because of the double halo <33

My theory is that corazón doesn't want law (and children) to be part of the family bc he wants to protect them so he just scares and hits them away
