its hard to really emphasize just how much i do not care what you do with fanwork and headcanon btw... especially without sounding like im just saying it to prop up my other point

i really don't care if you want to portray them that way. im not a stranger to people trying to police what i can and can't portray because of arbitrary, often transient, unspoken rules. so i completely understand how obnoxious that is and im pretty constantly telling people not to be like that in the communities i frequent

but it becomes a whole 'nother issue when you are spreading the message that the type of relationship they have is what constitutes toxicity. that toxicity is being dependent on someone. or having debates with someone. or disagreeing from time to time. or just, being human in a world that hates you.

not only is it hella uncomfortable in the sense that there's always a double standard applied to queer relationships (as opposed to straight ones) it also sets this really fucking weird standard about what constitutes to a healthy or toxic relationship.

i have been in toxic relationships. this is not what that is. and it's frankly troubling that anyone would think so solely from their read of the canon material

"problematic tropes are only ok if they benefit my coping specifically uwu"

Anyway this is why I left tumblr. This site is better than Twitter in a lot of ways... but this particular way of being is my pet peeve. And at least in my fandom, the Twitter circle for it generally seemed much more sane.

Yall get so caught up in the idea that you're morally better than Twitter, that you just kinda stop trying to think through moral conundrums at wherever is most convenient or comfortable. No ounce of effort to try processing the harder and more important issues, like individual intent.

It's really hilarious but also kind of infuriating coming back to the very same person who talked shit about certain ships being toxic (derogatory) now shipping things that are toxic in the exact same ways. And I don't mean harmless discourse, like simply stating they didn't like the ship. I mean implying that the people who liked it were dangerous and should be ostracized.

Oh, but it's ok now, because suddenly it's positive! We've all decided it's ok now because it's ''subversive''. And by subversive I guess you mean "we found a way to process it in a way that helps us, personally, cope."

Yet when people back then told you that we use things like this to cope (which we shouldn't even need to say because of how fucking personal that is) it didn't matter. This was somehow too hard to process, too inconvenient for the nice and neat Tumblr morality.

This is why I don't feel like I can say I like the current toxic yuri bandwagon, even though I obviously have always and will continue to like ships that fall under that category. Sorry to rain on the parade. But I don't think that it's as subversive as you all think it is.

It does not feel genuine in that sense, even though I understand it can be genuine in other senses and often is.

I don't doubt that the feelings you all get from it are as genuine as mine were and are. But the idea that it's morally ok with you because it's "subversive" or whatever... miss me with that shit. It's ok because you've learned to like it and you will do anything to morally wash fictional concepts that appeals to you personally, but refuse to extend the mental courtesy to literally anyone else.

To come and see people parading around the thing that they made me feel alienated and ashamed for liking in the fandom space I wanted to be a part of the most back then just drives me up the fucking wall.

It is really funny how much some tumblr users build their understanding of what is taboo in a degenerate immoral fashion vs what is taboo in a subversive radical fashion exclusively on aesthetic appeal so they’re willing to drastically alter their moral stances based on what media they’re obsessing over currently

October is the season for the not-so-spooky Grassroots Youkai trio!  All three characters have an odd mix of eastern and western traits, so the theme of their desserts is “traditional…with a twist.”

Wakasagihime:  sparkling green tea soda

Sekibanki:  raspberry and black sesame dango

Kagerou:  chocolate and hazelnut dorayaki

Ok so I reblogged this earlier before completely processing it and I feel guilty because... This isn’t meant to be instructional, it’s just a joke. The person was just showing off a tiny grill they pixeled and modeled off of the first image. Please don’t shell out $20 to buy this program without understanding that.

While this method would give you a pretty good starting point/reference to make nice pixel art, it isn’t going to give you something with perfectly defined edges and perfect shading. It’ll give you something more akin to the had to do it to em guy above. Which looks alright because it’s at 100% size and scaled super small. But small pixel art is usually gonna be viewed at 200+%, and that’s when you start to see the flaws.

Another thing I want to point out is that you can achieve a similar effect (again, only for the purpose of having a good reference/starting point) in other programs like photoshop or clip studio, if you have those. I’m not trying to dunk on Aseprite, cause I’m sure it’s a good program. I just want people to understand what they’re buying isn’t a magical pixel art AI.

theres something really ironic and hilarious about the fact that i basically left tumblr years ago because the atmosphere of the touhou fandom here was way too entrenched in purity culture and "thas problematic uwu u cant ship that uwu"

and i come back to people celebrating the supposed toxicity of the least toxic ship i've ever seen

[lori-hime]

man this take fucks me up. it’s something i like seeing in fiction because i like it when fiction irks me... but it irks me a little bit beyond that too because i can’t grasp why everyone else seems to think this way.

there is no "possible salvation" in a copy. a copy of you is not literally you. the you right now will never be able to perceive what the copy does, so where is the concept of salvation in that? as much as i like the concept of immortality, it feels like this sort of “immortality” is the worst of both worlds. it’s more akin to having a child for the sake of legacy, as if they will necessarily follow your will

if the you that you are dies and is gone, the new you is basically just a different person with the same memories. but it’s not and will never be the original you. the original you will still feel the void of nothingness when they die. the original you will never perceive what the clone does, it will never achieve salvation. 

(the fact this person is marked by shinieyes also makes me think about how people with shitty takes are the reason we need death, otherwise society ends up stagnating, which doesn’t help lol)

cishet men get so much content tailored for them specifically that they never learned how to suspend disbelief or imagine anything. everything has to be served on a silver platter to them or they throw a fucking tantrum

beyond parody at this point

Hold on wait a second. I always thought the memes were a joke just based on the fact painfully straight anime (like Darling in the Franxx) was airing at the same time that the prime minister was discussing fixes for the birthrate issues... Are you seriously meaning to tell me that a polititian legit funded hentai OVAs as a solution???
