This post has very big spoilers for Squid Game season 3 in it so please don't read it if you don't want to get spoilered!!
I had to make one more post about this cause I didn't wanna just add it to my other post
I think Squid Game does a lot of those things that won't happen in other shows because it'd be too sad. In many shows things happen where you're like "that's unrealistic, but it's sweet and hopeful so I'll take it". But in Squid Game they do push it to that point of "I didn't think they would go there" "I can't believe this really sad thing actually happened and nobody came and stopped it". Nobody stopped Gi-hun before he fell, nobody was there to catch him. Nobody was able to help Jun-hee cross the jumprope game, they didn't make an exception for her just because her ankle was hurt. Myung-gi didn't stop himself for a second while on his killing spree with Nam-gyu to maybe think about who he's actually killing right now and that Hyun-ju was with Jun-hee and nobody noticed him quickly enough to be able to stop him either. It's very sad, it's very unfortunate but it's real and it's how this show has always been. No exceptions. Nobody came and helped Sae-byeok when she was hurt (all of this is excluding Gi-hun btw. I'm more talking about the guards and game makers here). Her death was so undeserved in the end. She would have deserved a better death at least, but overall she would have deserved to Live. But this isn't what Squid Game is about. Because it's unrealistic. There's no deus ex machina in Squid Game, nobody who comes in right on time and saves the day. There's no plot twist good guy who helped all along. Everybody in this show has their strengths and weaknesses and every character has their own path that they're walking. But nobody is perfect. Both Hyun-ju and Sae-byeok had enormous potential to win. But they got hurt and that was fatal to them. They didn't die because they were weak. They died because if you get a giant glass shard to the stomach and have nobody there to patch you up again then you're very vulnerable and nobody in those games who has any power cares enough about you to help you. They died because if you get involved in a physical fight with knives and against people who are determined to kill you then you will get hurt at some point and you will be in distress and you won't think clearly and once you're out of that fight and really hurt you just aren't able to watch your surroundings at all times in case somebody else comes and tries to murder you.
But to get back to what I said at the start. Squid Game does all of this because no other show ever does. Every other show would have at least given Sae-byeok and Hyun-ju and so many other characters a death worthy of them. Even if unrealistic. Every other show probably would have found a way to get both Gi-hun and the baby out of there alive. Every other show probably would have had Myung-gi finally get back to himself and sacrifice himself for his child. But Myung-gi panicked and he really really didn't want to die and who can blame him for that? That is so human, that is so real. And in such a panic you can't think clear. And in the end he died because a stupid jacket wasn't sturdy enough to hold him in the air and that's so damn sad and it didn't even help his child survive. It did nothing. But it is so On Point for Squid Game because sometimes in reality things do happen like that. Sometimes people do stupid irrational things, sometimes people die in ways that they did not deserve. And I think most media shies away from that brutal realism but Squid Game doesn't and it would be disrespectful to assume that it would or should. It's hard and obviously really sad but I think it's also so special because it's so real. And that's why it hurts so much
Now I'm not saying that the message of the show is "the world is evil and nobody helps you and that's just how it is so deal with it" because that isn't what the show is about. It is however about how hard it is to choose kindness in such an unforgiving world. All of this is very real but you can make even a slight difference by being good and helping those who need help from you. And it won't always work, you won't magically fix all of society's problems because you always tried to be good. But it does make a difference for somebody. Gi-hun's love for humans and his kindness and selflessness gave Cheol a home and eventually his mother back. He gave many other players hope, hope that even if they didn't make it, somebody would make sure that their death wasn't for nothing. Gi-hun's selflessness is the reason why an innocent baby that was born into horrible circumstances and that got treated like an object is now able to grow up safe and without even having to worry about money. Gi-hun kept his promise to everybody who trusted him, who he was kind to and who was kind to him in return and he made other people's lives better. He couldn't save Sang-woo and Sae-byeok and Jun-hee because that's unrealistic. They're all stuck in games that are specifically designed to kill them. It was so unlikely that any of them would have survived. But through his kindness Gi-hun did survive and though he couldn't save his friends he was able to save the lives of their loved ones. And this goes for other characters too. No-eul persevering and continuing her fight in protecting Gyeong-seok and getting him out of the games alive no matter the cost lead to a little girl surviving cancer. It didn't fix any of the world's massive problems but it changed the world of a little girl for the better
This show is about the real world, yes. But it is also about the fact that kindness still exists everywhere in that real world no matter how cruel that world might be. And this message would have hit so so so much less if the show had shied away from that realism
#of course the people who survived this whole thing were the people in control and the people on the outside!!!#because that's how the world works a lot of the time#this show is probably the most realistic way you could ever make a show about murder games#i absolutely love hwang donghyuk for this btw#this realism#it's in everything that this show is#in the way it's made filmed written acted#it's phenomenal and it's really cohesive so i can't bring myself to be disappointed in season 3#because it actually fit right in#amyways i think i could dissect everything about this show for years and years#i could probably write an essay on evrry individual scene#i think this show is genius yes even season 3 and the closest a show has ever gotten to properly conveying it's important message#and maybe that's just me but that's fine#i hope people read this long post#i have so many thoughts about squid game and my posts about this show always end up being so damn long#but please do talk to me about this!!!!#i love talking about the realism of this show#or really just anything about this show#so please if you want to talk then send me a message or an ask or write a comment#lea's random thoughts#squid game#squid game s3#squid game 3 spoilers#squid game spoilers

Yall Dino Golzine from Banana Fish Analysis; Big TW and dont be mad at me (or be).
Well well. I dont really know how to start, my last character analysis was in 2023 after I read No Longer Human– and compared it to Dazai Osamu from BSD. Amyways, its published on a lost blog
:(.
My main reasons for analyzing one of the most hated characters in the entire anime universe; aka Dino Golzine, is driven by his relationship with Ash, his "striking" personality ?? and because if someone was going to be terribly evil but have a pet cat and take care of flowers, I had to analyze it (seriously, I thought that no one who appreciates the beauty of flowers could be that evil...).
Anyway, the last thing I'll say is I apologize for my English and my clumsy expressions even though I've been speaking it for...my whole life., jokes on me.
(...)
This analysis will focus on the events that took place in the manga, so we're talking about the 1980s and what was done before it.
—Taking context—
Okay so, It is said that Dino is a man well into his late 50s or early 60s, so, he was probably born in the middles 1920s—in Corsica (France).
People of this generation lived through an economic crisis at a very young age (1929), they lived through the rise of fascism and Nazism and went to World War II in their 20s, only to find themselves after the war facing another very long and horrible economic crisis. This generation also experienced technological progress and contributed to the restoration of Europe and the United States after the war, in addition to being characterized for having remained resilient and having overcome these difficulties in their younger years.
So in relation to Dino, I think he was a person who lived this first hand, whether participating as a soldier or in the mafia from a very young age, it's not like there's any way to escape a world war. A generation raised on violence, hopelessness, discipline, and patriotism can have a profound impact on people.
It is known that many Europeans immigrated to the United States because it was an emerging world power, so that is a good reason why Dino ended up there at God knows what point in his life.
—The "Mafia" thing—
No mafia is the same, especially the Unione Corse It is not known for fitting the cinematic stereotypes of Italian mafias (to begin with, they are French), and this is clearly reflected in the manga.
I think it's a bit bold to say that the criminal organization in manga and anime is unrealistic just because it's not stereotypical.
Dino has no family, no wife, no children, he is homosexual, which was not well regarded at that time, but I think he did not inherit his wealth but made it himself from scratch, at least that's how he appears when he is seen as a lonely man who wants to leave his entire empire to Ash, and he talks about everything as if it were his and only his.
—Personality—
Dino is creepy, it's what the whole fandom wants to read.
But seriously, he is terribly polite and always well dressed, with good manners and expressions that are sometimes... outdated? He seems to value the neatness and aesthetics of things and people alike, not just in appearance, but in essence. This can be seen in how his mansion is externally set in 18th century France, and each room has a different "theme" (I read an analysis of this here), also in the way he seems to appreciate the different types of alcohol he consumes daily, classical music and pieces of art. I dare say there are several references to his fondness for boys in the sculptures in the hallways and even the main fountain. I forgot to mention the topic of flowers and plants, because in one scene of the manga you can see that he really cares about their well-being, and not just for monetary purposes. I see him as the guy who plays classical music for his flowers or tries to keep his bonsai from getting sad or something like that, fr.
In any case, he has a strange mania of wanting to make economic profit from absolutely everything, even everything mentioned above, it seems to have indirect economic purposes, classical capitalism.
He values providing a good image, having a certain status, and deeply hates being seen bad in front of important people, I think this is very clear when the Unione decides to replace him and he feels so powerless that even though he tries to contain himself, he ends up killing his replacement.
He becomes deeply bothered and driven mad by the feeling that he can't, that he doesn't control everything. He is sometimes seen letting himself be carried away by his obsessions and anticipation of desires for power, both status and possession over Ash.
Note* He probably drinks and smokes so much not only for pleasure but because of the stress that comes with power and these kinds of...mishaps. Wine and tobacco have a similar effect of making someone feel calm and happier.
—Twisted tastes—
Well well well. I think this may be one of the most delicate parts, I'm going to talk about certain things that involve minors so if someone wants to skip this part, go ahead.
But if not.
Dino is homosexual, but he is also knew for liking young boys. In Banana Fish artbook terminology, I believe it says something like "Golzine is a Shotacon", which in Japan refers to people who are attracted not only to children, but to young people and even adults who have certain childlike features, it would explain why Dino still likes Ash when he's technically an adult, or why he likes Eiji sexually despite being around his 20s (because yes, it says in the boom that he admitted to finding Eiji beautiful). I'd say, based on these two guys, Yut lung and —again— the book, he likes young guys with an androgynous face and a mysterious aura.
Anyway, he likes children, it's inevitable, he's a pedophile, non exclusive, but still a pedophile, I would say that because of his market niche, I don't think he likes children who are too little as toddlers, we never get to see a child that small at the Club Cod.
Until Ash, he doesn't seem to think of children as human beings but as capital, since they only lasted a few years at the club. He seems to view his boys as sex toys to be discarded, and he fetishizes and objectifies them to the fullest, using them as bargaining chips and all that stuff that its seem.
—Relationship with Ash—
Yall, the icing on the cake now.
When Ash is brought to him, it is because he catches Dino's attention. Ash was the boy who was making profit the most, the most valued as beautiful, so of course Golzine had to have him for himself, because Ash was like an expensive and exclusive object that should only be in the hands of the most powerful.This was the theory, but then he realized that Ash was smart, charismatic and that he could get even more benefit from him.
For a man like Dino, having someone who fuels his ambition and power together was the key to making him obsess over Ash and fall in love with him. It's really like a vicious cycle, having a guy who is your —almost— perfect sexual fantasy, which in turn increases his income in various aspects of his business, and that somehow managed to complete some aspect of his personal life, because for Dino, Ash became something like his son and his boyfriend at the same time, his family.
Honestly, I think Dino fetishized Ash wholeheartedly, let's be honest, but he found everything Ash did sensual, even opposing him. Dino found similarities with Ash and Mozart's Figaro, having fantasies about him when he saw Ash dressed as an aristocrat, because those are the things that drive him crazy deep down.
Owning Ash was like winning in life, and his greatest act of love was leaving him all his money and the business he built over decades for him.
—The suicide scene—
There is a lot of talk about this, and I will be no exception, although I won't go into much detail.
When Dino does it, he does it because he was dying, because he wasn't the kind of person to just sit back and let Fox beat him, or let Ash win. But I honestly think he felt like dying because he had seen his business literally go up in flames, Dino is very mentally strong, but because of his personality, I doubt he could handle losing millions, losing his status, and probably being killed by his own foundation at that point, besides losing Ash. All of this would mean losing the control he once had, and that's an extremely hard thing to deal with.
—Catz apreciations—


They look like my cats so they are cute.

What classes do you like most in ffxiv?
so my main of all time is bard.... i havent played it a ton in dawntrail because . looks at pictomancer. we are progging FRU. im also a bit not super happy with its level 100 rotation (i just think its a bit too rigid for me but. skill issue i suppose)
i Am having fun with picto though. i like how its like, the first time theres a different playstyle class in ff14. and also everything is screwed over because of that. i do not pity them having to balance making classes feel unique and also not completely break the game during certain fights
ive also played a lot of summoner this tier and last tier and its like. its really a nothingburger. i like it but just in the sense that i do not have to think at all when playing it and still do good damage. its sooo nothing
my fave healer is astro. i liked it better when it could be a shield healer though. scholar and sage dont have the parts of astro i like (the delayed gratification of setting up a big heal and then having it pay off....) i dont actually like the cards that much i want a healer that plays like astro but without the cards...
i like tanking but i dont really. like how any of them play. i like playing warrior the most but it doesnt fit my guy.... paladin fits him the most but i DONT ..!!! LIKE PALADIN !!! flings my jobstones across the room with my telekinesis
my absolute favorite though is blue mage. i love blue mage. its so fun. i want square enix to care abuot blue mage again please. please please please . having to figure out savage fights but as blue mage is so fun but guys i'll be honest i want something for it. if imgonna dedicate like 2+ weeks of my life playing the most masochistic ff14 job in a fight not designed for it with 7 other strangers i want to get a cool mount that lets me brag about it at least. i even did omega in preperation for eden and then eden blue mage dropped and we got NO mount and NO limitbreak 3 and i was so sad and i still havent done it . amyways .
thats about it . i dont really like playing any of the melees except samurai... and the number of jobs i can play is limited by not being able to press buttons really fast

I love how KPTS is canon divergence of the novel. Bless BoC, whoever wrote the plot for the KinnPorsche The Series is doing god's work. And also the wardrobe, and the cinematography, and THE EVERYTHING! Watching KPTS has sent my expectation of Thai BL Series (or BL in general) through the sky.
Amyway, for me who watched KPTS first, the novel is definitely feels like a fanfiction. One where the characters are too OOC for their own good lol. I admit I only read the fan translation, not the official one. So maybe the writing style is only weird for me because it's not a professional one? Who knows.
I only read the VegasPete novel (Like I said before, I was ONE chapter in reading KinnPorsche novel and just… gave up). Tbh I don't even remember half of it. Like, seriously, I don't remember most of the scene from the novel. How'd Pete ran from the safe house? Come to think of it, were there safe house in the novel? There're no VegasPete poolscene in the novel right? Vegas got into car accident instead. How'd it play out? How'd Vegas and Pete conversation go in the coup?
(But I still remember Venice of course. And Nop!)
And then there's chapter where Vegas, Pete, and Venice went to Pete's hometown right? To meet Pete's grandma? (which I also didn't remember how it went)
Then there's also chapter where Pete went on vacation with Main Family without Vegas and Venice? And there's scene where Vegas and Pete went back and forth comment on social media (instagram I think?) Am I hallucinating this? Or they're just fics on Ao3? Man VegasPete is messing with my brain.

I've been trying to study your art style, your backgrounds I mean. Can you tell me or explain in someway how you like draw your backgrounds? Like sometimes you'll have characters interacting with an object or part of the world so you only draw that object in white space. But sometimes you go the whole nine yards and draw everything.
In white space you leave it up to us the reader to understand that the character is in that area without drawing it and that's so cool to me.
How do you know when to not redraw a background? Like in the scene when Chaarose was talking to the old lady. There was hallways drawn and you drew most of the room but for the most part the only thing that we saw was the couch/chairs so we know they were in a room but the background was white and not very much detail but we understand this was her room how did you do that? You do this with a variety of other panels like when they are in Hana's house (when baby first turns humanoid) you sometimes draw the couch or the table and there are things that indicate walls but I think it's my favorite thing in the world when you do this.
Basically my question is how do you know when to do this and how do you go about doing this? Do you just decide I dont wanna draw that background again so the reader knows where the characters are? Or do you do something else?
thank you! I'm glad you enjoy it ☺️☺️💕
i guess it's a consideration of what's important to communicate in that panel. is this an establishing shot/do i need to set a new scene? do i want to focus on the character and what they're saying? do i need to convey space in order to achieve a certain mood? (like the more recent pages of chaar where she's sitting in front of the sea looking very small)
the other thing is like. how have i arranged the people in the panel. if they're sitting down and i want to show more than their torso, it's going to look weird if i just draw them sitting on nothing. generally the more i show of a character, the more background i put behind them.
the OTHER other thing is.. man i got all these pages to draw 🤣🤣 i CANNOT be drawing backgrounds in every panel (nor should i, it gets too cluttered)
there's a sort of rule of thumb I've heard of having at least 1 panel of background per page, to ensure the reader remembers where they are, which i think is a decent starting point if it's something you're unsure about.
so yeah, idk how helpful this is, i may have rambled a bit but like. consider what the point is in having a background in a panel. whether that be you need to establish a location, your characters would be floating around otherwise, or it's important to evoke a certain mood. I'm sure there are other things, but that's GENERALLY what i consider.
imo the less backgrounds you draw per page.. the better lol. save yourself the time and wrist stress 🤣 but im also someone who enjoys focusing on characters more, so i am biased!!
amyways. hope that helps. or is interesting. i appreciate the question tho!! i am flattered u enjoy my work ☺️ feel free to hmu with more questions!

Welcome to pride month Mortal Kombat headcanons part 2!! I'll leave the link to the first part in the end of this post.
If you thought I'd go in a chronological order, like how I started with MK9 and should do MKX, but no. I'm just doing it in a completely random order. When will I stop? Who knows. :)
Amyways
MORTAL KOMBAT (2021) LGBT HEADCANONS
(Note: any characters I don't include I most likely consider cis straight. Another heads-up, I didn't feel like screenshoting the characters, so I'll instead use fanmade icons, but since I don't want to accidentally be disrespectful, I won't add in any flags. Also, for certain reasons, Cole and his family are entirely absent)

[ICON BY instewv (deactivated)]
BI-HAN (HE/HIM) — HOMOSEXUAL
Man is legit so thirsty he fucking killed his crush's family /j
In all honesty, as much as I love bireena and think they're destined to be together (but every time something's wrong), I cannot comprehend the thought of 2021!Bi-han unironically liking women. Something about that fight with Hanzo just felt intimate, y'know... (if you ignore the awful camera work). Alas, he's the type of a gay person you wouldn't respect, and shouldn't, in fact.

[ICON BY instewv (deactivated)]
SONYA BLADE (SHE/HER) — AROMANTIC ASEXUAL
2021!Sonya is sooo me fr fr. Like, the attitude? The humor? The fact that she lives somewhere in a dirt hole? The nerdy fixation?? Slay though, queen.
With everything said and checked, it's only natural that I will project my own identity into her. I feel like during her more youthful days she'd try to find some kind of a crush or a partner so she can relate to her peers, but each time it felt like a waste of space and energy. It's only when got into Special Forces that she completely gave up.
She respects people who share her mindset, or those who simply don't have the charm. She cannot stand, however, if someone insists on "fixing her" with a saying "I'm not like the other guys you've been with!". Those types of guys wake up in a dumpsite with their faces covered in bruises.

[ICON BY instewv (deactivated)]
KUNG LAO (HE/HIM) — HOMOSEXUAL
Every iteration of Kung Lao is gay in my headcanons. The way it's presented is different.
Kung Lao, as a monk, cannot commit himself to marrying someone, therefore, falling in love is also off the list. The difficulties in maintaining a cold-hearted demeanor began when he was assigned as a temporary supervisor to Liu Kang and his heart began to melt (side note: THEY'RE NOT COUSINS! IT'S A MISTRANSLATION! THE WORD LIU USES ROUGHLY MEANS "A STUDENT SENIOR"! READ JOHN TOBIAS' TWEETS WHERE HE DISPROVES THIS MISCONCEPTION! ALSO LIU LITERALLY SAID HE'S AN ORPHAN HOW THE FUCK WOULD HE HAVE A COUSIN? THINK, MK FANDOM, THINK! sorry I'm just so sick of seeing this same statement over and over again. back to hc ^^☆). Lao knew he felt something for Liu, but was it simple friendly love, or more? He couldn't tell, as he didn't have anyone close prior to Liu Kang. Sometimes, his anxiousness becomes so intense he isolates himself, but not for long until Liu brings him down to ground.

[ICON BY instewv (deactivated)]
LIU KANG (HE/THEY) — DEMISEXUAL, DEMIBOY
I'd imagine it's hard to get to know Liu Kang on a meaningful level, not because he's avoidant, but because 99% of the time you wouldn't know what the fuck is bro thinking about (only Kung Lao could decipher the code, and he doesn't share). Liu, in general, is pretty apathetic towards people, but once he likes you, he'll let you know. Whether it's regular private talks, sharing what's his or, hell, even saying "I like you" straightforwardly.
Don't ask why he's a demiboy though. It fits the vibes ok!!
(Insert meme: "Demiboy is a spectrum", on one end - 2021!Liu Kang, on the other - 2011!Baraka)

[ICON BY evaporated-milf]
KANO (HE/HIM) — PANSEXUAL
"For you, I don't have any standards" should speak for itself.
He's that one guy who'd fantasize about being in a str/p club with all those present in the room with him right now. But then he doesn't actually do anything romantic or sexual, he just bashes someone's head against the wall.
(Bro really meant it when he suggested Liu and Lao s/ck him off in that dinner scene /j/j/j)

[ICON BY evaporated-milf]
MILEENA (SHE/HER) — BISEXUAL
Mileena is bi and it's canon, though I feel like 2021!Mileena would be masc-leaning. Doesn't mean she can't feel attracted to ladies (like girl you know you didn't need to lay on top of Sonya like that right?), but with how she's basically surrounded by men, it's obvious she'll notice her attraction with them easier.

[ICON BY evaporated-milf]
KABAL (HE/HIM) — HOMOROMANTIC ASEXUAL
Listen, at first I headcanoned 2021!Kabal as aroace since it just made sense in my eyes. But then I watched the Behind the scenes video where they said that Kabal carries Stryker's badge, "his fallen partner", and I'm like "Okay man, weird way of coming out but congrats". That's when I thought I should just make him homoace as a way of satisfying both the demon and the angel on my shoulders.
———
I didn't bother to include Raiden (genderfluid aroace) and Shang Tsung (genderfluid) since the reasoning would be the same.
This was way more fun to write as MK2021 is my niche interest that I unironically love despite knowing it's absolute trash ^^)
Anyways byeee and happy pride month!
Part 1 (Mortal Kombat 9)

Ahhhh sorry for the little rant/vent I'm going to go on I just kind of wanted to share my thoughts with someone sorry for the mass of text imma bout to go on🙏
to the anonymous trans man that told you to give him a blow job with the results of hissurgry, thats gross and you didnt deserve that and the dick complications are inevitable but it was also the most female way to send that?? Like any male would've sent a violent rape threat but look at that ppl born women just don't
2. did you read inauthentic selves? If you didnt, its some investigative journalism taken down when originally posted for transphobia but it's been saved by other and can still be found. And its really everything every radfem tries express. Didn't fact check it myself though but when I'm free I really do wanna
3. did you hear about self id in Scotland right now? Sorry for the questions I'm just curious about your thoughts I like how you write
4. everyone wants to call it the "bathroom debate" when talking about letting trans women in women's restrooms and honestly that's smart of tras bc they know talking about the changing rooms/lockers is harder to argue so just boil it down to bathrooms. You're in and out for restrooms- yet men still assault ppl- but they can't quite argue why it's totally okay for ppl with penises to be able to strip to their underwear in front of women
5. everyone talks about trans women in women's prisons- bc fair- but ignore trans men in male prisons. First, beginning to see a pattern of poor trans women trying to say they're oppressed for women nor trusting them in their spaces bc they're "trans" and not bc they're literally born men. But nobody wants to let trans men in male prisons. Bc they'd die/get raped. Bc men can't be trusted with anyone with a vagina. Trans man in a male prison walks into the shower room/uses the unsanitary restroom where others can see and have a vagina/clear evidence of phallioplasty? Just straight dead. So both trans women and trans men are safer in women's prison? Shit I thought no sex was inherently better/kinder/safer than the other
6. nothing big but I had some trans men talk about the "gender euphoria" of being able to walk around the beach without a shirt after a double masectomy- which I like to call it instead of top surgery bc doesn't sound quite nice now. And like bestie???? Of course it makes you happy????? A natural part of you isn't being sexualixed by society?? Going barechested with no chance of harassment is like a dream to me? I know that's sounds a bit dramatic but I'm a person I like the sun too I like rolling about in the sand too. It's just such a personal big deal to me. You know that one post about hiw some girls get the "luxury" of spending girlhood as a sexless little thing. And thats not true youve still got gender roles to be forced to but at least youre a little protected from sexualizatuon. Well amyways I'm an immigrant american and got to swim barechested like the boys when little and now that I'm grown in America I can't and i had another point but I lost it now. It's just, those little things that bother me. The big things too of course
7. I had an eating disorder starting in middle school, 6th grade. I was a little 12 year old starving and I won't share specific numbers but it was bad. I just kinda wanted to thank you and radfem tumblr for being a major part in moving me into a better mind set. Those posts of how "you're pretty as you are" never worked. Being able to look into why society/patriarchy is the root cause and not a natural state of my mind gave me control, learning to empathize more with women got me to realize my mother my aunts my mother's women friends my female teachers and all the rest of the women in my life I regularly look up to or emulate are all ppl I emulate not bc of their looks, and that focus on women being women no matter the differences in our bodies was all so so so freeing and solidifying and grounding and eyeopening. Anyways, thank you. But I'm really horrified to find my stomach really has shrunk. I've been nauseous for a while now trying to eat enough again and grow it. And I think about it now with the feminist perspective you've helped me develop and I'm just horrified what I did to myself. I can see I shrunk my stomach, what else did I do? What else to my body or organs? What else to my development? My mind? I firmly believe eating disorders stunt growth in puberty- the last largest developmental stage- for women so much, call it intuition. But I guess that's the point
8. Something I've heard from male Healthcare practitionars is that women don't really develop more after periods become constant(not skipping around playing truant like when you first get it) and I just think that's absolute bias bc just being a women looking at my friends grow they're change so much. I got my friends together and we estimated between the 20 of us we've grown 1.8 inches average after our periods got regular. We've all felt our bodies change. We hold fat differently. Just that constant bias in everywhere even Healthcare
-drag queens suck but remember vine? Remember those long videos of men with shirts/towels on their heads being "funny" but videos of women with fake mustaches/wearing flannel shirts being called embarrassing? And now how on tik tok men get to do the same thing while women don't really do the opposite anymore to get any views. There's the beard filter but it tisnt the same and isn't as mocking
10) I feel like terms like fat phobia, ageism and similar words that have been brought up are just to disconnect from seismic. Like it's just sexism, or at least mainly sexism. Like fat men will pretend to be oppressed when fat women are the ones most effected. Old men I don't even wanna defend myself for, it's just Old women getting a raw deal
11) I was never comfortable around trans women like I am around regular women. I use their pronouns bc path kf least resistance and i dont really care. And tras always act like that's bias I need to "unpack". Well they got me to push down my intuition and think I'm bad for thinking it but all it took for me to peak was to freely think about why that is. Answer: they're born men, stupid you literally know better
12) well actually it'd be more accurate to say I really peaked when saying lesbians aren't attracted to penis became bigotry. Like mf leave those ladies alone and "unpack" your cognitive dissonance
13) I don't hate trans people. I think they suffer mentally and should be supported. But everyone's just being nice calling them a man/woman. Like it's not your true identity stfu. Like using the wrong pronouns will make them kill themselves? Bruh chill if words hurt you that much it's sign a mental illness. But of course, saying that's unhealthy is also bigotry
14) apparently lgbtq+ being together is for the betterment of us all but like. Lgb ppl would literally have such an easier time without trans ppl in everything? Sexual orientation and gender identity are two seperate things like damn
15) want to again thank you for opening my eyes into why I always kinda knew gender identity is stupid. You're right gender doesn't exist and gender stereotypes are literally so strong despite ppl acting like misogyny is over. A explanation for gender I could finally accept without cognitive dissonance and this one post about the amount of glaad focus on trans ppl versus other opened my eyes right open
16) I tried to accept trans ideology so hard bc the way they try and make it is is either their stance or violent conservative stances that don't even belive women are ppl. They make a fake dichotomy and boom, I accepted their thoughts bc between the two choicespresented, knew the better one. Anyways, all those term blocklists and misinformation are totally bc you ruin the dichotomy they love. Like, they'll always talk about conservative men. Trans youtubers pull up conservative tweets and shit all the time. But for you, suddenly we don't engage. Suddenly, it's a block. It's a dni, it's a weird ass shinigami eye. Bc engaging with you is mentally satisfying. And then when nobody intervals with you, lump them with conservative men to preserve the dichotomy. Actually seeing what you have to say and your understanding and your actually putting women first was like something clicking in my mind.b
16) trans ppl literally nake life hell if you're gender nonconforming. Ppl start saying your an "egg" for just fucking being an unshaved woman. Like oh my god shut up I'm tired of you. And then other ppl against gender non conformity? They were calling ppl a boy/girl for stupid stuff like which toys you play with when i was a kid and now? They also call you trans man/ trans woman. Tras talk about how terfs side with conservatives but both them and tradition gender roles ppl act like a girl is a boy for not liking skirts they can't run in. Like somethings wrong if a girl wants short hair that won't tangle and won't have their moms brushing it out in the most painful way possible with little care
17) I've had more ideas but I've lost them 😭. Just know that im really changing the way i livs my life with the radical feminism ive intercated with on this site. Sometimes I'm sure it might not feel great posting here, but you've helped me a lot. Anyways have a good day and a happy new year!
1. Yeah, I get that. While it was fucking disgusting and it’s normally men talking about forcing their dicks into lesbians, you’re right that she was much more polite than typical men. Really reads like a woman playing at a male power fantasy -disgusting and horrible, but nearly as violent as men normally are.
2. I remember seeing it at some point and I can’t remember if I ended up reading it or not? If I did then it was long enough ago that I’ve forgotten it but I should probably check it out again.
3. Yes, I did. I live in Scotland, lol. I honestly don’t know what effects it’s going to have as it’s about the changing of legal documents, though I can’t imagine any of them are going to be good. Self-ID is pretty much respected here by most places already (I went to a bar a couple of weeks back where the bathrooms were labelled as ‘2 stalls’ and ‘1 stall, 1 urinal’) so it’s not going to be the day to day things which are going to change but any statistical recordings: crime reports, % of job applications by women, etc.
4. Yep, and even then they show complete misunderstanding of all their arguments. I’ve seen things like ‘I don’t care who’s in the stall next to me’ which is true, but I do care if they’re going to peer over to watch me or put on a spy cam to make porn of me or sexually assault me when I’m out of the stall? They put it down to being weirded out that a male might be pissing next to you.
Then they argue that the bathroom in your own home is gender neutral, ignoring the fact that the bathroom in your own home is shared between you and the people that you live with or any guests that you have over. It is not shared with dozens upon dozens of strangers who may or may not have the intention to just pee and get on with their lives.
And yeah, it’s literally always the bathrooms in which they argue this stuff. They don’t discuss changing rooms. They don’t discuss shelters/rape crisis centres. They don’t discuss wards on hospitals. They don’t discuss care homes. They don’t discuss prisons. All these places where women are much more vulnerable than in a bathroom and which will also be affected by self-ID laws but which they could never argue aside from saying that it’s wrong for trans women to be excluded and that there’s no way men will abuse self-ID laws in these spaces.
5) Because everything TRAs say ends in contradictions. Trans men should, by all accounts, end up in male prisons. But actually they’re safer in female prisons so let’s just leave them there? Suddenly, safety matters when discussing trans prisoners but almost no other prisoners - especially the female prisoners who are forced to be housed with TIMs!
6) That’s one of the things which is so difficult to explain to TRAs and get people to understand: women are so heavily sexualised and constantly being watched, so being able to just feel free must be so good! I understand why they feel the way they do but doesn’t make it gender euphoria.
7) I’m sorry to hear that your struggled with an ED but glad to hear that you found something which helped. I also always hated the ‘you’re pretty as you are’ rhetoric because while I understand why it was common and supported, it still lent into that misogynistic view that women exist to be eye-candy for men rather than accepting that women are people who deserve to just exist in peace.
8) I hadn’t heard the regular thing before. I heard something about how you supposedly stop growing something like 18 months after starting periods? Which sort of worked out for me. Either way, the female body is so understudied that it’s difficult to know what’s true and what’s old wives tales these days.
9) Yep. Hundreds upon hundreds of videos of men just mocking women. Though I have to say that I’ve been lucky and TikTok has also had some really feminist trends. #womeninmalefields is probably one of my favourite trends. Weaponised incompetence has picked up. I know ‘married single mother’ is a term which picked up a lot and women resonate with it. It’s good to see so many women jumping on these feminist trends and getting the word out because I’m sure it’s helped women, even if many don’t think it applies to them.
10) There’s something to be said about ageism existing, not just because older women are erased from media but also because of active discrimination against ‘Gen Z’ employees as they are considered to be inherently lazy as well as laws like minimum wages which discriminate against younger employees. BUT I do agree that there is a heavy cross over with misogyny specifically, especially something like medical misogyny/fat-phobia has a high cross over.
11) It’s always the ‘unpack this’ and ‘unpack that’ as if you are not within your right to just be uncomfortable with a whole ass man in a women’s space. This is why I hate that they’ve attached themselves to LGB and use terms which oppressed classes used: they can continue to act like other people’s discomfort is that person’s problem because, as the cis oppressor, they are the one with the privilege and the progressive people around them have to accept it because they support trans people as an oppressed class.
12) ‘Lesbians can like dick and it’s actually bigoted of them to not’ is probably the most common reason for people peaking. When I ran peaktransstories (before it got banned and when I used to borrow the stories from r/GenderCritical in the good old days), it was by FAR the most common reason which caused people to either peak or at least look into these things.
13) Same as me. I don’t hate trans people for ‘being trans’. I think many of them are struggling with their identities, especially where their identity is rooted in internalised homophobia and/or misogyny. For those who are struggling with dysphoria, I think they need a lot of mental health help. I hate some trans people/allies for spreading misogyny, homophobia, and other hate, but I do not believe that all trans people are like that./
14) I hate how much trans people have become a parasite to LGB people. Like, it’s not even the being in the movement together, it’s the wanting to centre themselves into every conversation and acting like because trans people from decades ago fought for LGB rights that it’s then their turn (even though said trans people were LGB and ignoring all the actual LGB people who fought for LGB rights?)
15) Aww, I’m glad my blog was helpful for you!
16-1) Same! I really did try to accept it and put it down to one of these things which I was never going to fully understand because I am not trans, but the inconsistencies and gender stereotypes really got to me! And then you come online and it’s suddenly very culty. Like I don’t know any other group who openly says like ‘don’t follow these people, don’t read their posts, don’t understand their points’ and tries to convince people that they’re consistently actively lying and manipulating you! Healthy groups encourage viewing the opinions of the opposing side, understanding their views, and then disagreeing with their actual views.
16-2) ‘Egg’ stuff is always so annoying because it’s almost always something like ‘I liked something which is seen as typically really girly/masculine’. You can just like a thing? What happened to trying to break gender stereotypes?
17. You had 16 ideas and you still had others that you forgot?
#I must have started this post a long time ago#I have not lived in Scotland for over a year#I don’t even know if that self-ID law passed#also I hope whoever sent this is still around rabble#sorry it took so long for me to respond

OP's thoughts:
Blue- By far the most popular color. Arguably the most canon since this color has appeared on Kenny's eyes more frequently than any other. It also contrasts with the orange (and sometimes yellow) in the rest of Kenny's design. Side note: during the European art reinassance it was common for artists to depict heaven with the colors white, yellow, and blue since those are the colors of the sky during the day time. Blue eyes allows angel Kenny to have all three of those colors: white wings and/or a white t-shirt, yellow hair and/or a yellow halo, and blue eyes.
Purple: This color has also appeared multiple times in official material, albeit only on Princess Kenny. It's possible the violet irises are caused by colored contacts. Despite this I voted for purple for two major reasons: 1) in a main 4 (+ butters) line up it gives Kenny a unique eye color and 2) purple historically is the queerest color, which fits with the common headcanon that Princess Kenny is Kenny's transfem outlet.
Brown: Brown is the sweet spot between warm and neautral. When combined with the other colors in Kenny's appearance it makes for a humble and friendly kinda vibe. Side note: Kenny almost certainly inspired the character Denji from Chainsaw Man, who has short blonde hair and brown eyes (and many, many other qualities similar to Kenny). It is possible that Chainsaw Man's popularity in the past couple of years influenced the frequency of brown eyed Kenny in fanfare. Whether it increased due to inspiration or decreased so that artists could separate the two I sm unsure.
Green: I am surprised by how few votes this got, but unsurprused that it's last. The lack of favoritism may be due to blonde hair + green eyes being more strongly associated with Tweek. Regardless, green is like a warmer and more soothing version of blue. Combined with the orange jacket creates a carrot look.
Hazel: The third and final color to appear within canon. In hindsight I probably should have paired this with blue and purple up top, but I didn't expect it to get many votes so it was added as an afterthought. It is semi-canon, but it was only mentioned in the script for BLAU. Plus fan art of hazel eyed Kenny is quite rare, at least here on tumblr. Amyway, hazel combines the positives of green and brown with the canom compliance of blue and purple. You could look at it as the best of both worlds.
Something else: Looking through the tags I see one person say that they envision every SP kid with black eyes much like their pupils in the majority of the series. More people support the theory that his appearance chsnges slightly after each redurrection and this affects the hue of his irises. There are also several tags specifying the exact shade of blue they headcanon him having. I'm surprised no one said red or yellow in the tags since those are popular eye colors for Denji, and I already pointed out the connection between him and Kenny.
Alright, I think that's everything for now

Soft mornings
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 💤
Characters: Diluc, Kaeya, Tartaglia, Zhongli, Kamisato Ayato
Warning(s): None
Genre: Fluff
Notes: Since I don't know much about Kamisato Ayato, I'll be basing him of from what I think he'll act/be like so I hope this is decent.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 💤
❅ ᴅɪʟᴜᴄ
• Spending the morning with him feels like heaven. His raspy voice when he awkens, the warmth of his body thats pressing up against you and not to mention the soft smile he shows when he sees that your laying beside him and that your not an imagination.
• Trying to hold on to him as tight as you can so if he does try to get out of bed you can always tug him back in.
• Minutes of kisses, hugs and compliments here and there but it mostly ends up for hours.
• Watching Diluc prepare breakfast with a cat apron with his ruby hair tied up into a ponytail. You can't but to peek at him while setting of the table for the two of yous.
• Unfortunetly, he can't stay long and must head to his office to sign piles of paper. But before doing so he wraps his arms around you planting a kiss on your forehead then your lips before bidding you a 'goodbye' and 'take care'
"I would love to spend the morning with you but I'm busy love, I promise to not overwork myself but I can't assure that. Now take care, Love."
──────────── 〔✿〕────────────
❅ ᴋᴀᴇʏᴀ
• The opposite of Diluc, he's the one who normally wakes up early to get ready for his Favonius dutys but on slow and lazy mornings he refuses to let go of you and will sleep in for however long he likes.
• Lot's of kisses definitely, he'll shower your face and lips with kisses to the point where you'll have to beg for him to stop and to catch some air.
• Making pancakes while he hugs you from behind, nuzzling his face into the side of your neck with his warm breath tickling you. Might even give you some soft kisses on there to surprise you hehe.
• He helps you to clean the dishes after breakfast is finished before he goes to his knightly dutys for the day. Before leaving the front door, he keeps you in a hug for a while then kisses the inside of your palm while bidding a 'goodbye'.
"Now try not to miss me to much, dear. Haha, I promise to try and come back home early. Now stay safe while I'm gone, goodbye for now my beloved."
──────────── 〔✿〕────────────
❅ ᴛᴀʀᴛᴀɢʟɪᴀ
• Now he's very very clingy, his arms wrapped tightly around your waist with his legs over yours to prevent you from leaving the bed.
• Trying to escape from his grip is almost impossible. Even with the most tinyest of movement he cuddles you closer to his chest.
• He most likely goes to bed without no shirt so now you get a better view of his chest. Amyways, after hours of trying to persuade him to get out of bed he eventually does but he grumbles and whines every few seconds.
• You know he's always going to arrive home late at nigt so you always pack him some sort of lunch and snacks if he ever gets a break from work.
• Before leaving he gives you a bone- crushing hug and kisses all over your face saying that once he becomes strong enough he'll protect you with evey fiber of his being.
"I promise to protect you with everything I have once I have reached my goal. Now, you better promise those hugs when I get back okay?"
──────────── 〔✿〕────────────
❅ ᴢʜᴏɴɢʟɪ
• Zhongli sleeps on his back and is very stiff. So you tend to just lay your head on his chest and curl up into a ball.
• You love to hear his steady heart beat while sleeping, it gives you some type of relaxation to you where you don't have to worry about anything going on in the real world and rest.
• Now, Zhongli won't be the type to keep you in bed if you have somewhere to intend to since he wouldn't want to be late either for his job.
• Once you both find the energy to get up from bed, you help Zhongli with his hair like brushing it and doing the ponytail for him. In return, he makes your favourite tea or coffee and serves it to you with a plate of pancakes.
• After making sure he's ready, you bid him a goodbye with a kiss to his cheek. Now you've got him blushing with a little smile :)
"Don't stay up to late and wait for my arrival. I don't want you to wait for such a long time so promise me you'll sleep instead of waiting, my beloved."
──────────── 〔✿〕────────────
❅ ᴋᴀᴍɪꜱᴀᴛᴏ ᴀʏᴀᴛᴏ
• I feel like he's the type to not really cuddle in bed but he'll let you hold his hand and rest your head upon his chest.
• Since he has an important role within the Kamisato Clan, he usually tends to wake up really early and goes to do his daily things like signing some paperwork from the Shoganate's people, festivals and such.
• When getting out of bed he tries not to disturb you so you can sleep in more, he knows the deeds you have done to help Inazuma keep it's peace between the Raiden Shogun and its people.
• But, if you do find him getting out of bed feel free to follow him. You normally help him set up breakfast for the two Kamisato siblings and Thoma along with yourself.
"Don't mind me dear, I'm just going to get dressed for the day. Please sleep some more you deserve it for what you have done to help Inazuma. Now rest your eyes, Love."

UPDATE ON MY LIFE N ALL.
tw: death mention/cancer.
I've been incredibly busy those last.. weeks I've had my surgery so it's gonna take at least a whole month to heal, news about my mother that will most likely die before the end of this year, it's almost has been confirmed with the doctors. Medically there's nothing that can be done for her cancer she's condemn. And I began having the biggest art block of my life rn, I think it's linked to my mom's situation tbh, I'm unable to draw anything. On a better note I began to go to therapy and I hope my therapist will help me ease everything.
With a lot of luck amongst all this and unrelated, I won a pass for a con I've attended yesterday, took a break from it today and going back tomorrow not cosplayed. I had the opportunity to put back my Jean cosplay which I will show you some pics of and a video. ✨️
Amyway it's a bit of a tough time, I saw some of you all messages I still need to answer in my ask box, you have no idea how much I appreciate them, I just have a hard time keeping up with every social media I'm on atm (twitter/instagram/facebook/tumblr) thanks for understanding , and thank you for the messages💕💕💕 and be patient for an answer 🥺💕
I love you all very much mwuah. And I hope you live a wonderful Eatser.

I know the first two were the most like me. Middle school leading into my first highschool year I was all for the idea of getting into a relationship with the "perfect person". But it all came crashing down my Sophomore year in High School.
A friend of mine who was male (Let's name him Kyle) asked me to hang out one day. I thought it was weird at the time but he said it was "because he was bored." Alright then. Fair enough. We hung out for the day, and later that night, he told me he liked me.
I said yes, but in reality, I didn't like him like that. I was to caught up in getting confessed to that I didn't really take time to think about it. The next morning, I told him that I wasn't ready for a relationship yet. He said okay and that it wouldn't change our friendship.
That Monday, I told two friends of mine that I liked this other guy who I was friends with. Keep this in mind. (Let's name him Mark)
Every year my school has a homecoming. I'm sure your school had it too. Amyway, I was at this homecoming having a good time when Kyle said he wanted to talk to me. We met near the back of the school and he went on this whole villian speech on how "He knew about me and Mark" and "Trust was a big thing for him" and "If his friends start lying he just drops them". Also, how he started this was, "What you did to me wasn't okay."
When in reality, he had been very cryptic about this entire thing and I almost had a panic attack because of a message he sent me. "If you wanted to push someone off a building, the least you could do is let them enjoy the view." Yup. He actually sent that to me. He couldn't even communicate his own feelings to me.
And he told me that he was getting mixed signals. The irony. I know I kind of messed up there but not telling him straight to his face that I didn't like him like that, and I acknowledge that. But he could have handled that much better in my opinion. He didn't have to act like he was so cool in figuring out my plan when there was no plan to begin with.
He also had to top it off with acting like everything was just fine afterwards. You can't give me cryptic message because I overthink alot. And you will know if I am lying to you, as I am very bad about it. I seriously rhink I have commitment issues because of this guy, and it has scarred me into not getting into a relationship with anyone because I am so scared.
So there you go.
Question for aromantics- how did you know? Did you ever wish for a romantic relationship until the opportunity presented itself? Did the idea of it feel more comfortable than the reality? Or did you just never want it at all? I’m… examining things about myself right now.
#sorry had to get that out#high school me still cries to this day#fuck him#aromantic#aroace#aromantism#asexual#ace#don't be like kyle#please#like ever.

hi this is a rant, you dont have to read it, just the person i mention has my accs on every other media, plus tumblr nicest safe place.
i think my friend secretly has a twitter addiction because i was telling them how alot of new characters in x game are basically useless and have no unique purpose unless you really like them.
she then brings up another game i play that she doesnt, and pretends to know what shes talking about so i joked like haha pretends to understand.
and then she comes out with randomly, "so you can enjoy it"
and i was like what? (are you giving me permission right now to like a game that you dont play ?)
and then she was like because (first game) is bad and second is better. or something....
like ah yes because i dont like the direction of this game right now totally means i was calling it trash and saying other games are way better. (im so like wtf i didnt mention any other games, she brought them up) like talk about putting words in my mouth.... and both of these games arent even similar....
and homestly right now im burnt out of most games i play, everything is pretty boring because ive overdone it. cries.

There’s no such thing as sleeping forever. No matter how dormant, everything wakes eventually.
I need to do colour-on-black and sharp shading most often. I’ve always liked how it looked. Amyways, what a happy boy! I’m sure he’ll be just as pleased when he brings on the end of the world.

"Better" this, "better" that, you better watch your tongue, pow, if you know what's best for you! Years of Namori's masterful character design, wasted. the compacity and beauty of the thin braids, reduced to shambles. Sakurako's opinion too, blown to smithereens by you. yes, you. an agent of chaos, going around spreading the propaganda that himawari's fat clunky braids are "better." what "better"?? anyways, I've obviously been mostly joking.. MOSTLY... but you gotta understand the newer is better! well, not even newer, because she's been like that for SO long. longer than I've known you, longer than you've known me, and longer than we've known yuruyuri! in fact, if you track the dates, she's had her hair like that for LONGER THAN HIMAWARI'S CANONICALLY BEEN ALIVE, that being, over thirteen years! and that's a hell of alot of time. and, I know what you'd probably been thinking, "Moon, just cuz it's been there a while doesn't mean it's good. my closet's had dust atop it for years, but that doesn't make it a better closet," and I know! just because she's had the thin braids for longer doesn't mean they're good... but they proof they're good. also, may I just denote that they're part of himawari's identity now? because, I don't know about you, but when I picture himawari's face, her braids and alice band are some of the first things that come to mind. they're iconic. they're just as much of a part of himawari as her love for sakurako, or her sunflower aesthetic. pow, no offense, but you and katie's doings are like shipping himawari and akari. sure, it may be entertaining, but come on. that's not himawari. that's a totally blatant disregard for her. and that's what this is about! Himawari! It's about her! anyways, let's actually get IN to character design, shall we? Himawari is a small girl! Sure, she's taller than sakurako, but she's pretty small! or, compact, dare I say! let's look at something here
this here is my least favourite himawari album art. can you tell why? I don't think it applies to everyone, but the posing here is sorta off! also, if you look, she has significantly larger braids than usual here!! anyways, it makes her design too topheavy! what do I mean? well, although I don't usually like to mention it, a big part of himawari's design was her boobs! and I say "was" because we've thankfully moved away from that nowadays, but do you see the problem here? big boobs + big braids = big problems!!! now, I'm not gonna sit here and pretend to be a character artist, nuh-uh-uh! but you may see one of my issues now? and that's that himawari's small, and there's not much surface area! not much space to add STUFF. when your design has just a few notable features, it's really difficult when they're intermixing like that!
(unrelated well sorta related but I just got a reblog)
(Yes!! I am implying that!!! no, I'm OUTRIGHT saying it!! katie, you've only watched season 1 (and one episode of season2,) and you haven't read the manga! himawari gets SO little screentime in s1!! and most her screentime is just boob jokes!! smh!!!)
anyways, namori actually gave himawari much bigger braids in s1, case in point:
compared to modern himawari, they're quite different. but namori's overall style has also changed over the years, so wahtever. amyways, himawari's alice band and hair vents(??) were also often overshadowed by her big braids back then! she had a really unbalanced design, and NAMORI KNEW THAT! you know who else does, SAKURAKO.
lookie here. a more modern himawari design, do you see what's changed? there's more attention at the BACK of her hair rather than the FRONT. it's tied properly! what does this mean? MOBILITY. himawari physically cannot do stuff when her braids are big. animators struggle, namori needs weird poses, and they get in the way of everything. oh ALSO ALSO HOLD ON I NEED TO GUSH OVER HER NEWEST DESIGN
LOOK at that oh my god LOOK at that!! they got her hair perfectly tied here, as in, the place before the braids is perfect! and her hair "vents" and alice band are placed as they should!! "moon what the heck are you talking about-" HER ALICE BAND IS ACTUALLY WHERE A NORMAL PERSON'S ONE WOULD BE OMG IT'S NOT JUST A RANDOM ACCESSORY IN HER HAIR!!! Himawari actually has alot of hair, an excess, one may say. but you never really realize! something I like about this hairstyle is how it showcases her personality.
she is kempt. she clearly has a bunch of hair, she likes it, but she neatened it, she tied it, she controlled it. it's all so cordial. she's a coward who'll just cut their hair to make it more managable, no. she's managing hard. it sorta feels representative of her actual personality. she's super respectful and cordial and proper, but she has fun! she gets mad at sakurako! she crushes, she gushes, she braids neat as can be. it's not out for the world to see, it's here for himawari to see.
also
you guys are so mean are you saying she's inadequate :( himawawri doesn't need more hair to prove to you guys she's amazing... smh...
uh

I am very much enjoying my gameplay of New Horizons.
If you'd like to see some screenshots I've posted so far check out my twitter http://www.twitter.com/MadiasHell (I think that is the link... my username is MadiasHell obviously, though), there I will be posting direct screenshots from in game from my switch to twitter. My twitter is for all intents and purposes an AC twitter for right now. I can't balance multiple twitters so one day it might be personal again, but feel free to unfollow as soon as the content doesn't interest you. But right now it's ALLLLL AC content.
I will still be posting things here, possibly things I don't post on twitter, I'm not sure yet. But I don't at all plan to a abandon this tumblr, it's just that the switch can post directly to twitter, though.
Amyway, last night I found out one of my "friends" from the AC tumblr community blocked me. It was a little heartbreaking and j just don't see what I did at all so, I mean, it feels bad. One, she was the one to approach me about something to begin with, and once we got to talking, I was the one to ask to be friends, but she seemed fine with it. She proceeded to have some of her own issues and maybe a week or so of not talking, which when she came back to me frazzled and apologizing, I was nothing but supportive. And then we didn't talk very much after that, but I had no hard feelings and I wasn't aware of any that she had. Then last night I went to send her my friend code and I was unfollowe by her, I was 't following her anymore and I never unfollowed her and and her blog wouldn't load to me on the app where I was signed into this account, but it loaded fine on the browser (though it should be noted she maybe read my post last night or was in the process of blocking me last night, as now you have to be signed into tumblr to reach her blog at all), which btw I went looking through her blog to see if she said something and it's just all normal AC obsession.
I feel like quite the failure. I thought I had done a cook thing in making a friend and I did what I know as ny best for them to be happy, like they were struggling so I was there to let them talk about it, I told them understood because I had suffered similar issues, but also gave them space, I didn't make them talk everyday, or anything like that.
I wonder if I reblogged something on MadiAsHell that offended them, past or presently. I usually don't really post things that are that offensive, but you know, different people find different things offensive.
Did she cyber-stalk me and find something she didn't like? I am a pretty open book, there is very little that if she had asked I wouldn't have told. I don't like myself, but I'm honest about who and what I am and have been... I hate myself especially right now, but I would have told her whatever she asked and then at least I would know if it's because I'm fat and she was struggling with eating disordered thoughts and so she might have seen that as disgusting, or because of previous, uh, naughty jobs I have had, she might have seen THAT as disgusting. I dunno, but now I just hate everything about me just in case...
I mean, I feel legit terrible. This happens more than I like to admit and the truly most shitty thing these people do is they don't freakin' tell me what I did wrong. I can't fix it, I can't do anything because I don't know the first bit of reason why any of this happened.
Maybe she was someone who "knew" me previously and didn't like me? I have made some online enemies, but I don't know who might be so immature to do something like this. I mean, mostly ny "enemies" have gotten their revenge and they wouldn't waste their time... I don't think, anyway.
But she did approach me, so... did she have a grander scheme she didn't go through with? Like could she have been the "island ruiner" who was going to become best friends and ruin islands... then why would they stop, they got so close to a completely vulnerable victim (my mental health is bad, I totally would have let them be BFs with me in ACNH... someone with such an evil plot, if it was them they almost had pulled it off, so surely it WOULDN'T be), I mean they would have gotten away with it. So surely not.
I mean, i am tempted to name her by username, because someone might know something about her. I guess I didn't know enough. But that would be rude, right? Or mean, or something.
I just want to know what I did wrong so I can fix it. So I can have friends someday...
Anyway, it was raining in Euphoroa this morning but it stopped as the sun rose over the island. It was beautiful. And for a moment I didn't care.
I think I am chugging along at a nice little clip. I went to be at about 2 last night with a headache so I woke up a couple hours later, feeling better thankfully so I could play.
Blathers set up his tent and I think I am 3 things away from unlocking the museum. And I paid off my intial 5000 nookmiles for the getaway package, and decided to upgrade to a house. I have flimsy versions of almost all the tools and I think I can buy better recipes for tools now too.
Anyway, I'm gonna get back to playing. My sister is getting up and she's still got to start the game since she didn't stay up, so at least I have her as a friend...
