#maybe im just overreacting -

[thegreatyin]

it is more than mildly bothering me to look up dungeon meshi discussion between fellow anime-onlys and watch people call the funny purple eyed elf boy (thistle) a dark elf. like. i haven't read the manga but ive seen that one strip explaining the difference between them and normal elves in the dunmeshi verse and uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh that's incorrect i think,

‘we need to normalize male friendships’ being said in response to jayvik got me thinking.

where were these people when the same thing happened, but with a man and a woman?? when the same thing has happened in media for literal decades, where a man and a woman cant even be near eachother or god forbid FRIENDS without it turning into something. most if not all movies end w the guy getting the girl. they can never be platonic. never.

what if i said the same thing abt timebomb? how would those same people react? if i said that friendships between men nd women need to be normalized?

maybe we should normalize friendships between men nd women first. just a thought !

i haint watched the dang chibisode and idk if ill actually watch it with sound on sdfjk but i have a hurt feeling about them casually imbuing perry with speech for a one off gag because the idea that he needs to talk to communicate is fake. we had 4 seasons of wacky magic hijinks cartoon where perry never needed verbal speech to communicate. they couldve done this gag at any point in the show but they didn't, and the fact that they didn't felt significant. perry's muteness is such a core part of his character, to me, to the way i conceive of him/write him. i don't wanna overreact to a goofy little side cartoon (even tho i'm doing it anyway) but it's still the characters, and it still upsets me! ok that's it i've said my piece

This is, like, the third or fourth time (if not MORE) that I see a person apologize for talking about touken, showing enjoyment in the ship or needing to give some clarification. I know I'm not the only one who feels like the TG Tumblr space carries a negative atmosphere towards touken and it honestly kills my mood to post on here.

It also saddens me to see people show love for them so hesitantly. Like you're in the wrong for doing so. Like it's stupid. Like it's silly and unreasonable. Like it's almost shameful. Idk! That's how posting on here and see other people talk about them and acting ashamed about liking them makes me feel!

For how much TG tumblr advertises to be a welcoming space, I don't feel welcomed at all and more like just tolerated.

crazy how ive been seeing people absolutely losing their minds over the way amy is written in the generations remaster and how she was character assassinated and her crush on sonic was removed and im playing it right now and the literal first thing she does when you free her from white space is call sonic cute which is nowhere close to what she said in the original. wtf are you people on about

I've just recently been made aware of the fact that some of y'all believe that the way Nya reacted to Jay in DR s2pt2 is similar to and even parallels the way Jay treated Nya in Skybound and I'm like. What??

(mildly exasperated rant under the cut)

Like in Skybound you had Jay be so insecure about himself that he projected that insecurity into entitlement over Nya who, over several occasions, expressed that she a) isn't interested in him like that and b) currently doesn't feel comfortable entering any relationship at all and c) just wants to be left alone so she can have space to figure out herself, and then instead of honoring her asks he goes on to be even more pushy and make wishes he knows he's not supposed to just to get the girl (regardless of what she wants) and literally to the very end of the season holds onto the fact that he will get with her no matter what she says and believes bc that's what some wall of ice said that one time.

And then in DR you have Nya who's desperately trying to find her husband (who at this point have been missing for possibly years now) finally finding him, only for him to be very clearly suffering from amnesia and very clearly having been manipulated and lied to by someone she knows is evil and very clearly destroying himself for the very same guy who very clearly does not care about him, at which Nya expresses genuine concern because his behavior is genuinely concerning (he's literally destroying himself it's literally the point guys) and tries to get him to return to the people who actually care about him and who are supposed to be his friends over the person who's only interested in him for his powers and immediately throws him away the first moment he fails.

Like I'm sorry but even if on a surface level their behaviors are similar the contexts are very different, and it def feels a little odd to imply that "man pursuing woman even after she rejected him" is in any way similar to "woman desperately trying to get her husband to stop destroying himself bc a literal villain manipulated him into doing so"

Dear Izumi Curtis,

Maybe stranding kids on an Island, with no survival tools other than a knife and forbidding the use of alchemy, their only real reliable source and means of survival to make things easier, since these are children, might've been a mentally deranged decision.

I do not care that an employee was there to take care of the children, if said employee's only purpose was to fight the already weakened, and vulnerable, hurt children and steal recourses, such as hard earned food, from them in order to "train" or "toughen" them up...

The real risk of that wound Ed obtained from a WILD fox is nothing to scoff at.

The wound could've been infected if not treated properly, which I don't think a couple of children could've done easily, regardless of if they are geniuses or not ...

It's still highly irresponsible.

That's not to mention the diseases that fox could've carried.

This scenario could've ended in such tragedy which is only caused through pure negligence.

I do not care that Izumi herself was trained in a much harsher scenario, she was clearly an adult during her training in Briggs and thus could probably asses the situation and consent.

Which children just can't, no matter how much a child thinks they know an 10-9 year old just isn't mature.

And I don't even think pinako, the legal guardian for the two boys at the time knew of this, because if she did she rightfully so wouldn't have allowed it....

I hate that this is played off as a joke, that the two were trained in an absurd way...It's so easy to forget that fma is an anime when it's usually very grounded in reality and tries to explore deep conflicts... But when similar serious topics get ignored, the handling of the other topics fall flat and almost ignorant...

Slapstick in 2003 doesn't work.

It doesn't when the show tries to tackle extreme topics and tries to take itself serious...

Edward fearing Izumi and being physically hurt by her isn't funny because it feels out of place in a show that's meant to tackle trauma...

It feels like these issues are ignored and undermined.

Like I get this part was supposed to be a joke but it just comes off as not funny... Because you're just left asking yourself "is this actually trauma or just a joke?"

Which I think is the wrong message.

Just that it unintentionally comes off as extremely manipulative, having someone who's supposed to be a maternal figure for Ed and Al show this much violence...

And mind you, this is exclusive to Ed and Al. No other kid has ever been hit or treated that way, yelled at?, sure, but even then it was mild. Tf kind of messaging is that? It's okay to harm the ones closest to you? You're doing it for their own good? As long as the person treats you good afterwards it's okay to be hit?

Like I know this is probably unintentional, because these issues just aren't addressed in the show, so it's not meant to be taken literally but damn did they miss the mark hard!...

Like this entire sequence just pisses me off, there's already a post on this site which discusses the harsh flinch that Ed had when Mustang approached him after Nina's death in the alleyway...

The 5th picture of him just expecting to be hit again and accepting it... Just is wrong...

Like is this kid just used to it? Being treated like dog shit by authority or adult figures in his life, by anyone that isn't his deceased mother?

And the entire scene is flat, no music no nothing... This is just painful to watch. The hug afterwards just comes off as empty, damage control, to apologize after hurting someone, but doing it again.

[silly-lil-scribbles]

geesussss can my brain chill out maybe like at this point people arent even doing anything im pretty sure its just pretending something is off so i can start panicking about if someone hates me and im not enough and they will leave and i am the worst person ever because of this. why. dude. please. nothing happened. why do you even do this. and worse why the fuck do i still believe you every time no matter what

[loonangells]

I really need to express my frustrations but what was the point of galadriel suffering the entire season thinking that she could fall into sauron's temptation again if the moment they met again she completely shut down? it simply doesn't match what the character was feeling 1 episode ago at dinner with adar and I know that Brimby's suffering + her watching adar's death must have an influence but I still think it's a very sudden change and that's what bothers me the most in the entire scene

[winryrockbellwannabe]

this guy is honestly making me question too much shit

bc there's no way in hell is just that nice, right?

at this point either: 1. he's being this nice and kind bc he has a crush on me, 2. he's honestly that nice, which will make me have a crush on him, bc omg. he's just the nicest person ever

[hold-me-like-a-tourniquet]

Okay idk if its just me but I've seen SO MUCH hate for switches here recently😭 idk if theres a joke im missing out on or??? The arguments are always the same as biphobic ones too, the whole "you cant be both, pick a side" thing

Like, yes, more often than not I prefer subbing. But that doesnt mean I dont like to dom just as much, I just have to be with someone I really like and that hasn't happened in a while. Also i just find sub posting easier and more fun than dom posting, but thats just my experience.

Idk. To all my fellow switches, you guys are the bomb. Ur hot as fuck I dont care what anyone else says. Now get over here so we can make out sloppy style and fight for dominance like a couple of dogs.

[nexus-nebulae]

me as a kid: i have all these problems

every adult around me: you're not old enough to know what's wrong with you, you're fine

me as an adult: i still have all these problems

my doctors after i finally got the opportunity to choose them myself: oh my fucking god why have you never gotten help for all these problems. you should have seen me 10 years ago

Hoyoverse what the fuck

Look, I know onmyoji isn't a super popular game amongst global fans and truly I am a very big Sunday fan. But the composition and lighting being exactly the same is CRAZY. i don't wanna make any claims but it doesn't get past me that onmyoji being a lesser known game compared to star rail and that (if) it truly is intentional then it'll get brushed aside. As someone who was heavily excited for sunday's trailer and then recognizing frame by frame shots from my other favorite game, I'm a bit confused. And now I'm a bit disappointed because if it is plagiarism then it's just laziness from hoyoverse themselves. Not counting the other similar shots that have just been colour swapped and turned upside down, It's a bit on the nose with the similar theming of the cg to what onmyoji had.

And just to clarify, I'm not hating on Sunday to all of you Sunday fans. I really do like Sunday and will be pulling for him. But I'm just slightly peeved about the way hoyoverse tried to go about this.

“what if curly had a backbone” what if you had any understanding at all of how abuse responses work and how that has nothing to do with “having a backbone” fuck off and quit acting like freeze responses are pathetic for him to have just because he’s a man it’s not cute
