The LGBTQ+ community has forgiven Taurus

Transcription for people who have trouble reading my handwriting:

Comic 1:

Taurus: “MS. LUCY! You may think yourself weak and cowardly, but know this! You are a kind, smart, charming, pretty, talented, beautiful, incredible, and gorgeous leader! You alone hold the key to my being… and my heart. I can’t imagine a higher honour for a celestial spirit such as myself than to—“

Lucy: “IF I’M SUCH A GREAT LEADER THAN COME HELP ME TAURUS!”

Taurus: “Sorry!”

Happy, removed from the conversation: “Good job Natsu!”

Comic 2:

Loke: “Hey Taurus! Long time no see! You get bigger or something?”

In Taurus’ thought bubble, he imagines a sad Lucy due to Loke’s avoiding her.

Loke: “Pal?”

Every time I see a story, be it canon or fanfic, where Jason is like "wow my morals are kind of fucked up I should never kill again" I have to put it down, close the tab, ect. Because HE WOULD NOT FUCKING DO THAT. We're talking about Bruce's number one fan turned antagonist.

Do you not think he's maybe already considered such a thing?

The thing about Jason is that he's as devoted to his views and sense of justice as Bruce is, maybe with a little more flexibility (i.e. he's willing to temporarily stop killing if it's necessary for his overall goals where Bruce wouldn't be able to kill even if it would benefit everyone in the long run) and any run or story where he completely disregards his own moral compass and personal experience to follow Bruce's rules is just a disservice to his character.

His whole thing is that Batman's methods are ineffective and his unwillingness to either do what needs to be done or let someone else do so is a clear sign that he's not the hero Gotham needs. Jason genuinely believes everything he says about the system, and Bruce's ineffectiveness.

His crime lord era wasn't just a silly little thing he did to fuck with Bruce with the final confrontation as the REAL point of Under the Red Hood, he became a crime lord because he believed it was the best way he could help. The point of Red Hood is protecting Gotham, fucking with Bruce was just a bonus. Like the confrontation wasn't even initially planned, Jason haphazardly threw that at the end of his to-do list after he realized he couldn't just blow up the Batmobile.

Stop reducing Jason's motivations to "get Bruce's attention/make Bruce kill".

“Riz has a tail, the Dimension 20 cast is just lying to us.” <- Unfun. Not sexy. Implies we’re owed a tailed Riz

“Riz has a tail in our collective hearts.” <- Inspiring. Transcendent. Brings the community together.

crazy how the sanshee plush is one of the few actual direct confirmations on what a non-act 2 Natsuki’s home life is like because of how cagey she is on literally everything. Like this isn’t anything surprising or something you wouldn’t be able to extrapolate from the games but unlike everything else we know about her the implications are right there on the tin.

They literally did the character bio trope where where all the likes are normal but the dislikes are about their very specific trauma it’s just so funny they did that on the plushie card

even for hardcore wincest shippers it’s essential to remember that sam and dean didn’t fuck in canon. they are NOT lovers. the weirdness and sexual subtext come from the power imbalance in their relationship (dean raised sam + the theme of cycles of abuse, dean quite literally becoming a john to sam’s dean) and codependency which is rooted in dean’s unhealthy obsession with the ideal version of his little brother (as well as his need to own him) and sam’s guilt & unconditional devotion that don’t allow him to leave and that are also the main reason why he submits to dean and lets him do anything to him (especially physically)

Silly guys

Something about how Ren makes up canon characters with distinct aesthetics and how fanon characterizes him as a "dramatic flirty theatre kid". Something about Ren having two popular king characters and how it gives something else for fanon to latch onto. Something about how Ren is a "theatre kid" so he can play any role in fanon and more often than not the non-Ren mains put him as the eye candy/ love interest/ narrative tool.

Hiding headcanons bc the rise fandom will attack anybody that doesn't like the fanon feels like dead naming myself/ using she/her in public except ten times stupider bc nobody getting pissy over a cartoon is gonna beat the shit out of me irl

This is coming up with Orym, and it came up with Yasha and to an extent Keyleth too (as well as many other characters; see tags). Anyway: there is never going to be a moment when those characters are not grieving. If you wait for them to stop grieving, you will wait until they themselves die - and to be clear I do not mean this in the sense of “the grieving spouse clearly seeks death so that they may be reunited”; I mean “that loss will always exist in their lives, and they will grow around it and find other joy and love, but there is no moment when the hole that person left closes and is gone.” You can interpret where those characters are in their grieving process, which is a complex and nonlinear one, and you may perhaps feel they’re not ready, but if you do, it’s worth asking yourself what “ready” would look like because it will not look like an absence of grief. More specifically to Orym, if you are rethinking this because there was a scene at Will’s grave, that’s a big part of the nonlinear aspect - how someone will speak about the death graveside, or how they may speak about it in specific places, or on anniversaries, is very different to their day-to-day experience with grief.

Which isn’t to say you can’t interpret Orym as still in, for lack of a better term, the full mourning period; I’m noting it both because it is a pattern in the fandom for characters who have lost spouses, and because within that pattern, the discussion seems to treat life after the death of a partner as a dichotomy of “grieving” and “not grieving”, in which romantic love is only possible when one is in the "not grieving" state, which is fundamentally untrue to life.

Take this with a grain of salt but I don’t think Izutsumi necessarily MUST be be viewed as canonically aroace. I do not have a problem with that reading at all, to be clear, but I’ve been mulling this over for a while and with how much self-loathing and neglect informs her character it just doesn’t seem to entirely fair in insist on taking the “I don’t have a type” line at face value.

She’s a traumatized 17-year-old girl who thinks she’s unlovable and has never had the freedom to chose what to do with her life. Of course she doesn’t have a type and longs for a mom to love her unconditionally.

[~DANDY’S WORLD X UNDERSWAP~]

I got bored and saw someone else doing something similar, I was originally gonna just throw this away in the box of things to forget later until I saw the post of Flowerfell x Dandy’s World that @Val (ON TIKTOK) had made! I was gonna drop Undertale but I keep getting slowly pulled back into it mostly due to handplates but I’ve been wanting to make Boxten into Swap Sans!! And so now I did I dunno what to do but continue my other projects,

STAY TUNED FOR GOOB’S TOYBOX HOPEFULLY!

(Side note I was gonna do it the other way around where Papyrus would be Boxten too but I pushed that to the TSAMS fandom)

thinking about ratio proposing to aventurine one day, only for aventurine to panic and freak out about the thought of the “marriage is a shackle”/“my spouse is a ball and chain” rhetoric he’s heard people spew, so he fears he’ll lose the freedom he has worked so hard for

A distinguished psychiatrist from Martinique who took part in the Algerian Nationalist Movement, Frantz Fanon was one of the most important theorists of revolutionary struggle, colonialism, and racial difference in history. Fanon's masterwork is a classic alongside Edward Said's Orientalism or The Autobiography of Malcolm X, and it is now available in a new translation that updates its language for a new generation of readers. The Wretched of the Earth is a brilliant analysis of the psychology of the colonized and their path to liberation. Bearing singular insight into the rage and frustration of colonized peoples, and the role of violence in effecting historical change, the book incisively attacks the twin perils of post-independence colonial politics: the disenfranchisement of the masses by the elites on the one hand, and intertribal and interfaith animosities on the other. Fanon's analysis, a veritable handbook of social reorganization for leaders of emerging nations, has been reflected all too clearly in the corruption and violence that has plagued present-day Africa. The Wretched of the Earth has had a major impact on civil rights, anticolonialism, and black consciousness movements around the world, and this bold new translation by Richard Philcox reaffirms it as a landmark.
