Woe and agony, i let an ask sit in my inbox too long and now it's disappeared.

If you or a loved one asked me about the Gladman point skeleton and my Gibson truther mindset, this one's for you.

Most of my feelings about the skeleton not being Armitage come from the glenn stein article, which I'll try to link here also. As far as I know, the article is trustworthy, but if anyone knows otherwise lmk. (Cursed journals being behind paywalls)

Basically, his main points (also supported as a possibility by Cyriax and Jones, who I think were the original guys who posited that the skeleton is armitage) for it being Gibson is like entirely dependent on his service history with Peglar:

- longer and more recent service history on the Wanderer than Peglar and Armitage

- also would have had more chances to interact together (Gibson was an ord seaman at that point and would've had more opportunity to be hanging around w peglar on deck)

Also yeah, the clothing brush. I don't know what a gunroom steward might need that for.

I don't remember what the exact ask was, so I hope this is coherent enough.

made a chart of the straw hats' skin tones with the colors being screencapped directly from the episodes, to show how much they've lightened. this is more than just an "artstyle change" or "design evolution" or "just the timeskip" this is blatant racism/colorism. it's fucking ridiculous and i don't understand how toei is continuously getting away with it please reblog btw, i think this is something people should see

The concept of Agatha and Rio as a couple is very deep for many reasons but also funny to think about in Agatha's case. Imagine being so much to handle that the only existing being who can match your freak is, quite literally, the personification of Death herself.

thinking about how the extra area added on to a pacifist run of undertale, the true lab, is about alphys's past mistakes. how it ends with the story reaffirming that, despite the pain she's caused, the thing that matters is that she has now made the choice to do the right thing. she's still worthy of her friends' love.

thinking about how undertale doesn't expect the player to get a pacifist ending for the first time. how it's more likely than not that the player will kill toriel the first time they battle her, how lots of players don't initially figure out how to end undyne's fight without killing her, etc. what it expects — not even expects, really, but hopes — is that the player, if they care enough, will use their canonically acknowledged power over time to make up for those mistakes.

no matter how many neutral runs a player has done before committing to the pacifist run, the thing that matters to the characters, to the story, is that you've chosen, now, to do the right thing.

compared to alphys, the player honestly gets off lightly, in that you're the only one (other than flowey) who really remembers any harm you might have caused. and any direct guilting the game could have done about it is long past at this point. instead, as undertale often does, it makes its point via parallels: alphys caused harm, and she knows it. she has committed to being better. in doing so, she has unlocked for herself a better ending to her story. and she deserves it. she's forgiven.

those structural narrative parallels are all over undertale, if you know where to look. and that's one of the things that makes it so fuckin' good.

Polyamory is not inherently bad or toxic, it just has higher demands on time and energy to manage multiple relationships, which means people who would arguably struggle to manage an entirely mono relationship are going to struggle even more in a poly one, and due to the interlocking relationships and elevated public scrutiny, that’s going to be viewed as much messier than it would otherwise.

This is a PSA to all beach-goers!!!

Sandygast are NO JOKE. Over 10,000 people EVERY YEAR are subject to a Sandygast possession!

Do NOT pick up shovels unless you are ABSOLUTELY SURE of where they came from. Better to have the beach littered with plastic shovels than to have people being compelled to evolve the little buggers into much more dangerous Palossand.

You wouldn’t want to get your soul drained out of you. So don’t risk it!

If you see somebody piling sand for hours and hours without end PLEASE contact local police, or anybody equipped to deal with Sandygast possessions such as gym leaders and the likes.

DO NOT attempt to snap the person out of it yourself. They could become HOSTILE or try to get you to touch the shovel as well.

It CAN happen to you or your loved ones.

Stay safe out there! And remember to have fun as well!

as well as being incredibly misogynistic and demeaning, "catfight" just isn't an accurate term for what's being described most of the time. if you refer to two women fighting as a "catfight" i'd better see them growling at each other with blood under their nails and deep jagged scratches carved into their skin where they tried to disembowel each other with their bare hands. they'd better be tearing out chunks of each other's flesh with their bloodstained teeth and trying to gouge each other's eyes out. if you're going to be a sexist loser you can at least do us real sicknasty perverts the favour of not half-assing it.

thinking about mizu from blue eye samurai. thinking. thinking so much. thinking about how mizu operates outside of gender. like we joke about her gender being revenge but straight up? it literally is. like she grew up as a boy and is most comfortable being a man, but behind that is the feeling of betraying himself because he isn't being honest about who he is and he lives in fear of being discovered. and when he lived as a woman, she found joy there as well. she fell in love, and though she wasn't good at it, she liked being a wife and enjoying a simple life. but in that life too, she isn't being honest about who she is. and when she reveals her true self, it's not a woman, she's a demon, a weapon. she's to masculine to be a woman, and too feminine to be a man. ultimately, mizu is most comfortable when they are being a murder machine. that's when they feel they are being the most true to themself. like a sword, they are neither man nor woman, but a blend of both, which makes them stronger.
