give my boi alucard a mermaid or selki gf please i beg you it can be yandere or not i just want to read about the pretty supernatural beings in love or obsession please feed the brain rot that is the yan castlevainia comunity

A/N: Okay so since I went with a sort of mermaid/selkie reader here with Yandere! Alucard, I figured this one would be non-Yandere Alcard with a mermaid girlfriend.

Alucard with A Mermaid Girlfriend: 

At first, Alucard is concerned by her sudden appearance: where did she come from? Is there a legion of underwater creatures coming for Castlevania? Or perhaps she is fleeing something? Could there be a trail of more night creatures to follow after her? 

Alucard is apprehensive when they first speak, but also immediately drawn to her alluring, otherworldly nature, and she is drawn to him in return. 

Her hair, of course, is long and gorgeous, as is his. She compliments him on its upkeep, haircare is considered pivotal in the mermaid/siren community, and the more lustrous your hair is, the longer you’ve spent working on it. 

Despite barely knowing him at all, she reaches out to touch his hair, and even more surprisingly, Alucard lets her. It shocks everyone, but especially Trevor who was waiting for Alucard to snatch her wrist in mid-air. 

Instead, Alucard studies her face as she runs her fingers through his hair. It feels… nice, comforting almost. It’s a foreign feeling, but not entirely unwelcome. 

She’s elusive, yet forthcoming, the type of character Alucard has grown used to in these past few months. Had he been alone, he’d be much more weary of her, expecting her to take advantage of him as Taka and Sumi did, but with his friends around him (and not to mention the entire new Village Belmont) he feels confident enough to handle it. 

He shows her to a large bathhouse in the castle where she can stay. The water is warm and just deep enough for her to be able to transform into her mermaid form and slink along the bottom of the bath without issue. 

After some much-needed soaking, Alucard gives her a tour of the grounds- the Belmont Hold and the Castle. In the hold, she’s impressed to find relics and pieces of architecture from her culture. It also unnerves her a bit but when Alucard shows her the skulls of vampires and vampire children Trevor’s ancestors stored in a glass case, she feels less alone as a creature amongst humans. 

Because they’re the only non-humans among the villagers, they end up spending a lot of time together. They read literature, go on walks, and play chase with the children. 

One day, as they’re sitting in one of Castlevania’s many libraries, her laid out on the sofa, and him seated on the floor in front of her, she starts playing with his hair again, running her long deft fingers through it, massaging his scalp. 

Alucard melts into her touch, feeling a warmth wash over him. Her soft touch feels cozy and inviting, almost hypnotic as she fingers his golden locks. 

She offers to brush his hair and braid it for him, to put it up in  a way that won’t obscure his vision when he’s fighting or playing with the children. 

It becomes a routine for them. At night, after his bath, she’ll seek him out, and Alucard comes to her, gladly, his blonde hair still damp from the bathwater and cleansing oils. 

Eventually, once their relationship progresses to more intimate levels, the two of them begin taking baths together. Their bathtimes become a sort of spa time for them, just the two of them, two beautiful creatures plucked from obscurity, placed in the middle of such human conditions. 

Their love grows to infatuation, and it becomes clear to all who see them. Even the village children begin to refer to the couple as “Mr. and Mrs. Alucard”. 

When the two of them dress up to visit other provinces, or simply for a night out on the town, people can’t tear their eyes away from the immaculate couple. They are gorgeous, and so in-tune with one another, with a single look, they can tell what the other one is thinking. 

Together they watch over the castle, and the hold of Village Belmont, looking like an ethereal pair, A Vampire King and his Mermaid Queen.

L’idea che il sionismo sia un colonialismo di insediamento non è nuova. Gli studiosi palestinesi che negli anni ’60 lavoravano a Beirut nel Centro di Ricerca dell’OLP avevano già capito che quello che stavano affrontando in Palestina non era un progetto coloniale classico. Non inquadravano Israele solo come una colonia britannica o americana, ma lo consideravano un fenomeno che esisteva in altre parti del mondo, definito come colonialismo di insediamento. È interessante che per 20-30 anni la nozione di sionismo come colonialismo di insediamento sia scomparsa dal discorso politico e accademico. È tornata quando gli studiosi di altre parti del mondo, in particolare Sudafrica, Australia e Nord America, hanno concordato che il sionismo è un fenomeno simile al movimento degli europei che hanno creato gli Stati Uniti, il Canada, l’Australia, la Nuova Zelanda e il Sudafrica. Questa idea ci aiuta a comprendere molto meglio la natura del progetto sionista in Palestina dalla fine del XIX secolo ad oggi, e ci dà un’idea di cosa aspettarci in futuro.

Credo che questa particolare idea degli anni ’90, che collegava in modo così chiaro le azioni dei coloni europei, soprattutto in luoghi come il Nord America e l’Australia, con le azioni dei coloni che arrivarono in Palestina alla fine del XIX secolo, abbia chiarito bene le intenzioni dei coloni ebrei che colonizzarono la Palestina e la natura della resistenza locale palestinese a quella colonizzazione. I coloni seguirono la logica più importante adottata dai movimenti coloniali di insediamento, ossia che per creare una comunità coloniale di successo al di fuori dell’Europa è necessario eliminare gli indigeni del Paese in cui ci si è stabiliti. Ciò significa che la resistenza indigena a questa logica è stata una lotta contro l’eliminazione e non solo di liberazione. Questo è importante quando si pensa all’operazione di Hamas e di altre operazioni di resistenza palestinese fin dal 1948.

Gli stessi coloni, come nel caso di molti europei che arrivarono in Nord America, America Centrale o Australia, erano rifugiati e vittime di persecuzioni. Alcuni di loro erano meno sfortunati e cercavano semplicemente una vita e delle opportunità migliori. Ma la maggior parte di loro erano emarginati in Europa e cercavano di creare un’Europa in un altro luogo, una nuova Europa, invece dell’Europa che non li voleva. Nella maggior parte dei casi, hanno scelto un luogo in cui viveva già qualcun altro, i nativi. Quindi il nucleo più importante tra loro era quello dei leader e ideologi che fornivano giustificazioni religiose e culturali per la colonizzazione della terra di qualcun altro. A questo si può aggiungere la necessità di affidarsi a un Impero per iniziare la colonizzazione e mantenerla, anche se all’epoca i coloni si ribellarono all’Impero che li aveva aiutati e chiesero e ottennero l’indipendenza, che in molti casi ottennero e poi rinnovarono l’alleanza con l’Impero. Il rapporto anglo-sionista che si è trasformato in un’alleanza anglo-israeliana è un esempio.

L’idea che si possa eliminare con la forza il popolo della terra che si vuole, è probabilmente più comprensibile – non giustificata – sullo sfondo dei secoli XVI, XVII e XVIII, perché andava di pari passo con la piena approvazione dell’imperialismo e del colonialismo. Era alimentato dalla comune disumanizzazione degli altri popoli non occidentali e non europei. Se si disumanizzano le persone, è più facile eliminarle. L’aspetto unico del sionismo come movimento coloniale di insediamento è che è apparso sulla scena internazionale in un momento in cui le persone di tutto il mondo avevano iniziato a ripensare il diritto di eliminare gli indigeni, di eliminare i nativi e quindi possiamo capire lo sforzo e l’energia investiti dai sionisti e successivamente dallo Stato di Israele nel cercare di coprire il vero obiettivo di un movimento coloniale di insediamento come il sionismo, che era l’eliminazione dei nativi.

Ma oggi a Gaza stanno eliminando la popolazione nativa davanti ai nostri occhi, quindi come mai hanno quasi rinunciato a 75 anni di tentativi di nascondere le loro politiche di eliminazione? Per capirlo, dobbiamo apprezzare la trasformazione della natura del sionismo in Palestina nel corso degli anni. (segue nel link)

Storia Di Musica #324 - Alter Bridge, Fortress, 2013

Le scelte musicali di Maggio avranno come filo rosso la presenza di un edificio in copertina. Mi rendo conto che la scelta dell'elemento in comune è di per sé poco discriminante, perché la lista sarebbe lunghissima. Tuttavia con un percorso che ho immaginato a scorrimento di grandezza dell’edificio ne uscirà, spero di non deludervi, una bella selezione. Poi è sempre una buona occasione per scoprire altri dischi rispetto a quelli che ho scelto io. La copertina che inizia questo piccolo viaggio è una casa abbandonata in un deserto, che in maniera piuttosto ironica è stata scelta per descrivere la Fortezza del titolo. Fortress è il quarto album in studio degli Alter Bridge, uscito nel 2013. Gli Alter Bridge nascono agli inzi degli anni 2000, quando si unirono ex componenti di due band, i Creed e i Mayfield Four: dal primo provenivano Il chitarrista Mark Tremonti, il bassista Brian Marshall ed il batterista Scott Phillips facevano già parte dei Creed, insieme al cantante Scott Stapp, fin dal 1997. Dopo la pubblicazione di due album di successo (My Own Prison del 1997 e Human Clay del 1999) Marshall lasciò la band nel 2000, a causa di dissidi con il frontman Stapp: rimasti un trio, i Creed pubblicarono nel 2001 il loro terzo album, Weathered, un altro grande successo rimasto al primo posto per otto settimane consecutive, primato che i Creed condividono con la compilation The Beatles 1. La band divenne inattiva dal 2003 a seguito della conclusione di un tour controverso: in quell'anno, infatti, Tremonti iniziò a scrivere nuovo materiale con l'intenzione di formare una nuova band. Dopo aver richiamato Marshall al basso, il chitarrista decise di contattare il cantante Myles Kennedy, ex membro degli ormai sciolti Mayfield Four, conosciuto qualche anno prima durante un tour in cui l'ex band di Kennedy faceva da gruppo spalla ai Creed. Fu così che nacquero gli Alter Bridge, il cui nome deriva da un ponte, il bridge del titolo, situato presso la casa di Tremonti sulla Alter Road, a Detroit.

L’inizio è del 2004, One Day Remains, che ripulisce moltissimo il suono post grunge dei Creed e nonostante sia un buon successo commerciale è ben lontano dalle vendite della band “primigenia”. Subito però hanno un colpo di fortuna: diventano infatti un gruppo fidato della WWE, la famosa federazione di Wrestling americano. Alcune loro canzoni infatti apriranno i seguitissimi show e una loro canzone, Metalingus, è stata adottata dal wrestler Edge come musica d'entrata. Nel 2005 Save Me farà parte della colonna sonora del film Elektra. Eppure non tutto va per il meglio: la casa discografica premeva affinché si ritornasse al nome Creed, garanzia di maggiore notorietà, e anche a quel suono più sporco. La band aveva tuttìaltra idea e finirono per cambiare etichetta: nel 2007 passano alla Universal con cui pubblicano Blackbird: i testi e le musiche sono spesso a 4 mani tra Kennedy e Tremonti, l’album è molto più coeso e una canzone diviene molto famosa, Blackbird, scritta da Kennedy per un suo amico recentemente scomparso che in una votazione di una rivista inglese, Guitarist, è stata votata nel 2011 quella con il miglior assolo di chitarra di tutti i tempi (che mi sembra una clamorosa esagerazione). Succede una cosa a questo punto: i tre ex Creed si riuniscono con Scott Stapp e pubblicano un nuovo disco come Creed e vanno in tour, Kennedy non sta fermo e collabora con Slash, che in quel momento era il chitarrista dei Velvet Revolver. Qualcuno pensa che il gruppo sia alla fine, ma come un tuono all’improvviso arriva AB III (del 2010): sorta di cupo concpet album sulla fede, è un disco che segna un deciso cambio di prospettiva. Molto più heavy metal, inizia a farsi strada l’estensione vocale portentosa di Kennedy, e da strutture musicali che assomigliano a quell’interessante movimento chiamato progressive metal. È un nuovo grande successo.

Passano anni prima che esca Fortress, tra tour che toccano tutti i continenti, progetti paralleli, solisti, di musicisti che ormai sono diventati molto famosi. Per questo il disco era atteso come una sorta di prova del nove. Dato il titolo, l'album sembra far emergere l'idea che la band sia una sorta di rifugio creativo per i suoi membri, un santuario hard rock dove possono semplicemente suonare e suonare, non importa se al posto di mura possenti c’è solo qualche asse di legno invecchiato dal sole e dal vento. Si parte con Cry of Achilles, che inizia con le note di una chitarra acustica dal sapore flamenco (filone che per qualche anno colpirà in maniera stranissima tutti i grandi gruppi dell’heavy metal, richiamo solo i leggendari Opeth in Persephone, il brano acustico che apre Sorceness del 2016). Micidiale il veloce incedere del singolo Addicted to Pain, mentre in Bleed It Dry salgono in cattedra sia Tremonti con un suadente assolo, che la mirabile ugola di Kennedy. La ballata “alla Alter Bridge” si esprime in Lover e All Ends Well, dal sapore vagamente country. Sono diventati maestri nel costruire canzoni tra riff portentosi degni della vecchia scuola a ritornelli che rimangono subito in mente, come per The Uninvited. Il lavoro di AB III rimane nelle ottime In Peace Is Broken e nella toccante Calm The Fire, pezzo che esprime tutta la bravura vocale di Kennedy. Tremonti presta la sua di voce in Waters Rising, e scatena la sua anima metal in padrone nell’accoppiata Farther Than the Sun / Cry a River e nella lunga e mutevole title track contraddistinta da un pregevole lavoro della chitarra, anche qui a lambire il progressive metal. Fortress è un album trascinante, probabilmente meno creativo del precedente, ma molto più solido. La critica lo capisce e lo designa non solo come il loro miglior lavoro, ma tra i dischi dell’anno.

Gli Alter Bridge, che hanno sempre cercato di non passare per I Creed con un altro cantante, sono diventati, anche grazie alle spettacolari esibizioni dal vivo (suggerisco per i curiosi i Live From Amsterdam e From Wembley Arena) uno dei gruppi di punta di un metal non estremo, ma solido e convincente.

FUCK what the forgotten realms wiki says, here are my headcanons on dragonborn

Biologically speaking: dragonborn are more reptile than mammal, though their origin as human-dragon hybrids leaves them somewhere in the middle. They prefer to regulate their body temperatures by ambient environmental temperature or sunning, and therefore choose to live in more tropical climates when possible. However, cold will not kill them. They can maintain homeostasis at a suboptimal temperature: they digest more slowly and become sluggish, and so use supplemental heat from fire or magic to stay at peak form.

Their diets are largely carnivorous. They can eat fruits, vegetables, and grains, but their teeth are meant for tearing and chewing meat. Food is usually cooked very little and left intentionally bland. If they're warm, their metabolism burns quickly, and they require more calories. Most prefer not to drink alcohol unless they're warm; metabolizing alcohol more slowly means getting drunk faster, and most prefer not to be impaired unless they're in groups they trust.

They don't have strong sexual dimorphism. Males and females don't have marked size differences, females don't grow larger breasts. Males may tend to have lower voices than females, but I'd say that's more enculturated in women by speech in Common. Draconic would be pretty harsh and guttural. Both sexes gain fat: under the chin, breasts, belly and thighs tend to pad out quickly even in leaner individuals. I'm thinking fat bearded dragon here. Also, hair is rare in dragonborn of either sex, but you're more likely to see it on women. Certain clans have the ability to grow hair; it's always very coiled in texture, and typically kept in protective styles. (Ahryll's clan does have some tendency towards hair, Kieran's does not.)

Once they reach 12 years old, fledglings get to pick their real name and gender. Chosen gender usually follows what they were assigned, but not always. Changing gender isn't uncommon; attitudes on this vary by clan. (Ahryll was assigned male and stayed male.)(Kieran was assigned female and chose not to take a gender when the time came.)

Eggs are laid in a brood (laying period lasts a month, incubation by the laying parent lasts around 6m). Incubation happens in summer/fall; weaker hatchlings die in winter and infant mortality rates are high. They don't nurse young. Instead, hatchlings are fed masticated versions of what adults eat until their teeth come in. (Old traditionalist dragonborn insist you have to chew it for the best nutrition, but more modern dragonborn and those removed from clan just use a mortar and pestle). Dragonborn young age from hatchling (<1y) to pup (1y-11y) to fledgling (12y).  They're referred to comunally as hatchlings and not individuals until 1y of age, at which point they get a child name based on some personality attribute. (Ahryll was Snapper; he was a runt who fought fiercely to live and ate whatever he could get hands on.)(Kieran was Dent, a rough-and-tumble kid who was hard on clothing, furniture, and their own body.) Gender is also assigned at this age.

Names are a big deal to dragonborn. First names can be aspirational; some name themselves after family, mentors, or other figures they admire. Clan name is read before first name. If the dragonborn has a non-dragonborn parent or spouse, or lives outside of clan, they may take a surname according to the traditions of those peoples. (Kieran's full name is Marrakus Kieran.) (Ahryll's full name is Shirrhus Ahryll, though he's estranged and takes no ownership of his clan name.)

Kinship! Anthropology is fascinating forever!

-Brother/Sister/Sibling refers to those who hatched in the same brood as you.

-An individual will typically only have one or two children in their lifefime; if two, they're usually from the same brood. (This, plus the high infant mortality rate and the tendency for dragonborn to group together, are the reasons that dragonborn are more rare in the setting at large.)

-Grandmother/grandfather refers to any elder, especially those in caretaking roles.

-Parent's siblings serve the same role as parents; young are raised communally and live in whatever unit has formed around the parent who hatched them. (Therefore no "uncle" or "aunt" terms exist in Draconic.)(I think dragonborn can be polyamorous or monogamous like other humanoid races, but polyam is more normalized due to the decentralized family structure.)

-"Kin" as used by dragonborn can mean clan, party, or dragonborn as a race at large. It depends on context.

-Clan as a unit is important above all else. Some clans are more militaristic about this than others, pursuing "pure" bloodlines (read: no non-dragonborn in lineage) and favoring those who develop the traditional breath weapon of the clan. Others are more patchwork and accept anyone who would benefit "the unit" as one of their own. (Clan Shirrhus is the former. Clan Marrakus is shifting towards the latter but has some holders-on of the old ways).

-It's rare for dragonborn to strike out on their own. Some do this to learn about the world outside the clan, some follow a passion or trade that they cannot pursue within the clan, some are exiled for overt religious worship (worship of any god is seen as a minimization of the importance of the clan and is therefore taboo, though dragonborn do acknowledge the gods' existence and pay respect when it's required of them). Some dislike their families or are otherwise estranged.

More random shit I couldn't weave in:

-Militia groups (adventuring parties, functionally) are seen as their own type of kin. Dragonborn parties are usually three-to-six strong, consisting of at least one of each of the following:  melee fighter, a magic user, and a ranged attacker. They can stay nearby to defend their clan, patrol surrounding lands, or head off on assigned missions (adventures, functionally) to secure alliances, tail political rivals, perform assassinations or raids, etc.

-Dragonborn shed scutes like turtles.

I have more thoughts but this is everything I can coherently put together atm. I'll add to this if I can string more words together!

-Breath weapons are an in-built biological function in the cases of fire and acid. Ice and lightning can be magically supplemented.

-Draconic magic users are almost always sorcerers, born with inate magical ability due to draconic heritage. Wizards are rarer, as having to study into the ability to cast makes one seem "weaker" and "less draconic". Clerics are incredibly rare due to how uncommon religious faith is in dragonborn culture; healing usually comes from a more druidic source and is treated more like a science than a conjuration.

Einstein diceva che è più facile spezzare un atomo che un luogo comune. Chi mai riuscirà a spezzare il luogo comune che nega agli animali non solo l’intelligenza, ma anche la capacità di soffrire o di amare? Nessuna persona seria dovrebbe dubitare di questo. Sono pienamente convinto, dico pienamente, che gli animali hanno una coscienza. L’essere umano non è il solo ad avere una vita interiore soggettiva. Forse l’essere umano ha paura di fare altri passi in questa logica: riconoscendo una vita interiore agli animali, sarebbe costretto a inorridire per il modo con cui li tratta. Konrad Lorenz ************************ Einstein said that it is easier to break an atom than a commonplace. Who will ever be able to break the cliché that denies animals not only intelligence, but also the ability to suffer or love? No serious person should doubt this. I am fully convinced, I mean fully, that animals have a conscience. Human beings are not the only ones to have a subjective inner life. Perhaps the human being is afraid to take further steps in this logic: by recognizing an internal life in animals, he would be forced to be horrified by the way he treats them. Konrad Lorenz

//A (somewhat 18+) question for the otherkin|therian|non-human comunity.

//Can one experience a shift when drunk? Even before knowing one might be non-human?

//To be clear, this will not be an endorsement on drinking alcohol, just a genuine question from a new member and general pattern recognition.

//When drunk my actions and thought become more streamlined, as if my systems go into battery saving mode and I stop pretending being a human.

//My speach and movements become more stilted and (as descrived by friends and family) <robotic>.

//I understand that my processors are being affected and forcing focus on every movement, yet other peoples interaction with alcohol seem wildly different from mine.

//Is shifting when drunk a common occurrence? Or does this fall under <alcohol makes people act like themselves>?

//Again, this is simply a question for those drinking responsibly, only drawing from my personal experiences, not a guaranteed or recomended form of shifting.

Pffft in what fucking way radical feminism is about apologizing abuse?? xD

Hun if you have no what you're talking about just don't talk about it, don't embarrass yourself

Glad you asked!

First we have this very thing that you're doing right now, which is shutting down anyone who mentions that radfems can be abusers. Major red flag whenever someone's first reaction to hearing "Someone in your group has been abusive" is to immediately get all defensive and say "NO ONE HERE WOULD EVER!"

Secondly, we have the very thing that made me point out that radfems are abusive as hell. I pointed out that a stupid radfem was insisting that I was being abused because I like kinky stuff, and then had the nerve to go "You deserve to be beaten until you get brain damage." Saying that some people just "deserve" to be mistreated is abuse apologism 101.

And since we're talking about people who "deserve" abuse according to radfems, let's look at the list of women you guys have thrown under the bus:

1 - Women who have been abused by other women. After all, "rape is a male crime" according to you guys.

2 - Women of color. You guys always get hella defensive whenever a non-white woman points out that radfems are often racist as fuck, and pull stuff like basing their list of "how to spot a tranny" on racist shit like literal nazi propaganda posters to help people "spot jews." And let's not forget the large overlap between plenty of radfem groups and white supremacy groups. Oh, sorry, forgot we're not supposed to mention all that so we won't "devide the comunity."

3 - Bisexuals who experienced abuse by a male partner, since we "choose" to associate with men despite having the oppornuity to date just women, like lesbians do (What? That sounds just like incels who are mad women only go to "jerks" instead of "nice guys" like themselves? Impossible! That would mean radfems feel entitled to sex and believe women DON'T get to say no!)

4 - Lesbians that are not "gold star lesbians", aka who have had sex with men at some point. After all, they're inferior since they didn't have stuff figured out right away, or had no choice but to stay in the closet for years and years due to where they live, or, ya know, were raped. Too bad for them, they were touched by man, therefore they're icky.

5 - Asexuals, because you guys will just hate one ANYONE apparently, even someone who just says "I don't really wanna fuck anyone".

6 - Trans women. After all, you guys literally admited that you made up the whole "predatory trans in the bathroom" myth just to have an excuse to hate on them. And let's not forget this also led to shit like radfems trying to spy on other women in the bathroom to "make sure they're really women." After all, trying to see someone naked without their consent is totally what normal, not at all creepy people do.

7 - Kinky women! After all, we are brainwashed by the patriarchy, and need you guys to step in and save us from ourselves, because YOU know what makes US comfortable or not. It's for our own good really. It totally isn't just slut shaming with some pseudo-feminist terms thrown in the middle.

8 - Sex workers. Once again, they need to be saved from themselves - and that rescue includes ignoring them when they say "your way of helping us in dehumanizing, robs us of our agency, and often ends with us being thrown in prison." And lets not forget that some of the anti sex-work laws you guys swear exist to protect victims of human trafficking who were forced into prostitution often end with said victims thrown in prison anyway because surprise surprise, demonizing people for harmless shit makes a target no matter what.

9 - Any woman who doesn't like that you bitches are constantly associating with the alt-right - including the most violently misogynistic members of the bunch - just to get more political allies. Does it ever cross your mind that if THE biggest women-hating scumbags around think you are "one of the good ones" that shows you totally fucking failed to "rebel against the patriarchy"?

And there's also the group that you guys refuse the acknowledge the most! Men who were abused by women. After all, that doesn't work in your fantasy world where men always hold all the power in every situation, and women are always powerless. No way things could be more complicated, even with misogyny still sadly being a thing, no, no. It has to be an Us VS Them.

So, no acknowledging all the times young boys get sexually assault and are mocked for "complaining that they got laid", even when they're minors and their abusers were grown adults. No acknowledging that while women are more likely to be victims to domestic violence, people often refuse to understand that men can also victims of intimate partner violence - even if said partner is a woman. We can talk about abusive fathers, but not abusive mothers. We can talk about how abusive males tend to become cops, but not about how abusive women tend to become nurses.

And, once again, not ever, ever, ever pointing out that radfems are ALWAYS going on about how some people (in this case men) DESERVE to abused. After all, that will totally make it "fair" after all the shit women endured, since THIS is the way to deal with society's problems: you make sure they hurt as many people as possible instead of just your group.

So yeah, you guys are abuse apologists. You always have been. Now either become a decent person or die mad about it, bitch.

Tashigi is little, cute "katana maniaka" who is hated by a community for no reason

Well, in most of a time when I started read One Piece, I didn´t care of OP Community. With my own pace I read manga chapter by chapter and successfully avoided most of the spoilers before I reached ongoing (and dropped it now I don´t care so much about spoilers and start read manga again in that point where I stopped five years ago - and Wano is done :D ) To the point, I was horrified how many people hate Tashigi so much. She always was one of my favourite characters and I ship her with Zoro. Ok, in two cases I am able to understand why she is not popular character: 1, ZoRobin shippers- understand to their feelings, they root for their favourite couple and I feel their "pain". Still get it, it´s part of the fandom to prefer one ship to another one. 2, she is weaker fighter than the others- ok, I have some arguments (I will explain later), but I get it. Some fans have to compare everyone with everyone who holds a sword and yeah, Tashi-chan is really weaker than Zoro or Mihawk. What I don´t get it, why people hate her so much. Be honest, it seems to me that hating Tashigi is an act of misogyny. I'm not exaggerating. Tashigi is a perfect sample how it´s hard to be significant female figure in two almost 100% male domains. In OP universe there is not so much swordswomen and there is not so much higher ranked marines. In many stories there is a narrative if we see female characters among the men and she is "the best however she is a woman" and in many stories it´s explain like "be woman is something worse, but she is great"). Personally, I don´t prefer this type of narrative and gladly Tashigi is not that case.

Assuming for "for non-existent misogyny"

Ppl critisize her for assuming Zoro for nothing. However we knows that his reason why he didn´t want to fight with her it´s kinda different than she thought. But be honest, women don´t assume the men for misogyny without reason. Who knows Tashigi´s experience with discrimination because she is female? Marine´s bases are not space of understanding and tolerence overrun by unicorns. Most of her superiors are men and also most of her subordinates are men. From my own experience I know some women who are in leadership positions and every single of them has experience that they struggled with some dump male subordinate who didn´t respect them because "they are just women". She had to make many times more efforts because of her gendre so that the people around her began to respect her. To become a petty officesand later a captain. And maybe when she fought with the pirates, she was used to that they insulted and underestimated her. We don´t know. Probably, she just expected the same interection from Zoro.

Tashigi is "crybaby"

The others critisize her for her "overeacting" and that she´s weak and crybaby. It´s typical insult for women. Crying is human biological process through which, for example, sadness or frustration is expressed (for all of a people). And I seriously debt when Zoro has his defeated moment with Mihawk and cried and screamed, nobody said "oh, he is too weak, emotional crybaby". No, he is so cool, cause he is able to express human emotions and for female audince he´s more se*ier than before. For girls crying is "shame and typical female reaction", for boys it is "a courageous act in which they show their humanity". Tashigi also show her humanity. In Logue Town, in Alabasta, also in Punk Hazard Arc. She felt frustrated, helpless, betrayed by her own perception of justice. That´s the reason why she cried.

Tashigi is weak

Tashigi is different type of swords(wo)man. If we could look at it that way, there is a group of swordsmen -swordsmen´s comunity whose "members" are divided between pirates, marines and the other groups in OP Universe. Like in almost every pirate crew there is one member who is familiar with some type of swords. These swordsmen and swordswomen are belong to different crews, everyone has different mindset, different goals in their lifes, different personality. And Tashigi is also different than the others. Most of the swordsmen wants to be better and better fighters, want to reach their names into the heavens (ehm,ehm) and be more and more skilled in fight how it would be possible. And for most of them see swords just as tool for reaching their dreams. Tashigi is focusing on these "tools". She is sword geek with high sense of justice, sometimes out of the reality. She wants better world where all of the famous swords are in hands of good people and serve to good of mankind. I don´t get the fans who still compare every single character with Mihawk or Zoro. They throw away Tashigi over the board just because she is weaker than Zoro. Ehm, Idk but it´s the point of the story. Zoro made a promise to become the greatest swordsman in the world and his goal is defeat Mihawk. We saw him in every chapter/episode how he´s becoming stronger and strogner and slowly reaching his name into the heaven. We don´t see Tashigi every single day (or decade) but she is in different position. She is not pirate in the crew somewhere middle of Grand Line and she doesn´t have to face to great dangers every single day. She is captain, most of the time probably she spends in headquarters or on the marine ship where she plans and gives orders to the marines. Of course, she is also in action but with reference to the above it is as it is. And she is not bad.

She is just annoying. Poor Zoro.

For Zoro Tashigi is one of the few people in the universe who: - is not Zoro´s enemy however she is not member of Strawhats crew -and she is swordswoman and she is not rival at the same time - he avoids her in fight by his own decision (in most of cases, he just follows Luffy decision to unite with the others), but Tashigi is not little child or unarmed citizen. Kuina who is gone is big issue of Zoro´s mind and Tashigi´s appearence doesn´t make it easier but in Punk Hazard arc is significant, that Zoro already moved from the statement "Tashigi makes troubles because she is similar to Kuina" to "Tashigi makes troubles". If we miss the interactions between Zoro and female crew members, there are not many female characters with whom Zoro would interact as much as Tashigi. And, you can think that Tashigi sucks but Zoro chose to be in her company voluntarily (depends of the situation where they are stuck together). He could decide for different ways how to interact with her, but in half of the shared moments he is kind to her. In Logue town he listen her chattering about the swords like no anyone else (and it was useful), he was willing to help her, when she was attacked by two pirates in Logue Town and he handed her a glasses when she fell while the others laughed at her. In Punk Hazard, he could left her because she is Marine after all, but he didn´t. Their talks are also awkard. Of course, it doesn´t mean that they will end up together as husband and wife with bunch of children but it was Zoro´s decision to let Tashigi into his life (somehow). According to me, Zoro sees Tashigi as someone who is brave, kind, protective to those in need with strong sense of justice and great geek into a swords in the cutest way as it is possible. It´s probably hard to talk with her, because she stubborn but he never underestimated her as a swordwoman, but he knows that she has different limits than him and that´s the reason why he is ready protects her when it is needed.

I really REALLY want those fang piercings, but my mom says that I won't get a job in the field that I want if I have it (psychology)

(Genuine answers only, I know it should be more acceptable to have piercings in our society. But it's not. And yeah, I really want to be able to get a job in psychology when I'm older :<)

If i had a nickel for every story I liked that was told entirely in non visual media, following a large and ever growing cast of characters with constantly switching perspectives for the naration, an emphasis on how seemingly "monstous" groups or species are actualy just as human an anybody else, a person with seemingly endless power torn between whether they should intervene in the lives of mortals, a young person who is very booksmart but with little social skills and parental issues who can control the weather (but not complete control, and instead relying on comunicating with the weather, which they consider a completely seperate entity), and was given this power by a powerful magical nonhuman entity, a character who comes back from the dead, but not before spending a while in the afterlife learning from others, I would have 2 nickels, which you know the rest of the quote by now so whats the point in saying it.

BSAV family AU part 1: Felicia

Overview: Felicia Blackthorn, is witch living in Eternyx, on Potion Alley, number 667, Poe street. Currently, she lives together with: An eldritch being (Cthylla), three vampires (Lilith, Vester, and Sil, wo is the NPC guy), another witch (Scarlet, her daugther), a permanent human (Scotty), and a non permanent human (Alano)

Lore: Felicia was born to a single mother in Eternyx, for a long time, she didn't had much expectations for her life, "Just another witch of Eternyx living day by day" she always thought of herself, when she was 18 years old, her mother died in a potion making incident, which led to her to inherit the Potion Alley, months later, she started to be harassed, by an bigger potion making busines, who wanted to destroy the Potion Alley to continue their monopoly on potion making, which lead to Felica doing drastic measures, she made a deal with an eldritch deity called "Cthulhu", their deal was that Felicia would receive enough powers to destroy that corporation that was harrasing her, in exchange, Felicia would have to take care of Cthulhu's daugther, Cthylla, and so, the deal was made, and days later, the potions company disappeared overnight, and some people report seeing a "pink octopus" walking around her house.

years later, Felicia decided to rent some rooms in her house (who was right above the Potion Alley), and that's when Lilith and Vester moved in, by that time, she already had joined the Gaga team.

Some more years later, Felicia started having a baby fever, who made her use a spell to make herself pregnant, just like her mother had previously done, which lead to Scarlet being born, 3 years later, Cthylla had brought something to Felicia, a baby! That baby was Scotty, and since Felicia couldn't find his parents, she adopted him.

Another years had passed, and she got a side job as a nail maker for Night Swan, which made her being cutted out of the Gaga group, recently, she and Night Swan had an incident, which made Felicia stop comunicating with NS, she also started to re-connect with the Gaga group.

Namaseke: Felicia: Felicia is her canon name, meaning Lucky, fortunate, happy, it's commonly associated with cats

Blackthorn: The Blackthorn plant, is a plant commonly associated with witches and witchcraft

And to anyone who asks, yes, I did changed Lilith and Vester backstory, they weren't kidnaped by her anymore, she's just their landlord.
