btw your homophobic republican grandma is not a radfem. no, the conservative woman talking about “womanly brain” & being explicitly anti-abortion isn’t a radfem, either. no… the spiritual woman telling young girls to “return to their divine feminine” & selling out cheap dating instructions & “tips” & promoting the idea of “female-specific” emotions, thoughts, and feelings, most likely isn’t a radfem. your radical christian mom that disowned you for being trans isn’t a radfem. please. PLEASE LEARN what radical feminism is. i am BEGGING you.

Sometimes I think about how much Mettaton (specifically in Undertale) and Spamton are foils to each other and it drives me perhaps a bit insane.

Like... Mettaton had the drive to go see the light of day on the surface, to be with humans and be a savior to monsterkind, and was willing to kill a kid to get there. He wanted to be more than a simple snail farmer and had Alphys there to help him build a new body. He, whether intended or not, abandoned family & friends to live out his dream.

Spamton is also more than willing to kill to get to see the light, he wants to be more than a darkner in a dark world, and abandons his friends to be [big] without them, relying only on the help of some strange benefactor until he also is abandoned.

They both can be self absorbed, their visages plastered around all the stuff they own (or owned). They can be inconsiderate of others. They have dreams of being big stars. There is no subtext with MTT figuring out his identity and his transitioning; its all plain to see. While it's more subtle for Spam, there are themes of self identity with him, too.

I think the biggest difference in their personalities is that Mettaton can be a lot more humble. Despite Burgerpants' treatment and taking Alphys for granted, a lot of the monsters in the MTT hotel do speak fondly of him, especially if he dies and you go back through the hotel afterward. He doesn't resist talking to Napstablook when they call in, even though he probably feels guilty for leaving them behind for whatever reason he did. He clearly still loves his cousin, and does appreciate his friendship with Alphys.

Meanwhile Spamton lies to himself about being better off without the Addisons. Deep down he doesn't mean it, but coming to terms with the reality of his feelings? Naw. He's probably had to use this tough guy persona to shield himself from criticism in his big shot days and now doesn't know how to take the mask off without it hurting. There's a lot of denial in his small body, not helped by the years of scraping by in back alleys after his fall.

Though, if the roles were reversed, would things have played out differently? Mettaton has the benefit of well-meaning people around him and luck. Its through shuffling around the trash zone that he met someone who could make his dream body come true, and who ALSO had ties to the king of the Underground. Spamton has... fairweather friends? We don't know for sure how close he was to the Addisons, or how much he thinks of his relationship with Swatch in his grander days, or how benevolent the person on the phone really was.

Yes, there was desperation to get to the surface for MTT, but he didn't have to deal with the mind-breaking information of how radically different and free the light world is when you live a deterministic existence. He didn't have to deal with seeing a soul as a blinding beacon within a kid's body. I doubt Metta wouldn't be overly obsessed with the light world, nor doubt Spamton wouldn't be content with his place in life, if they swapped shoes.

It's also so WILD that they don't know each other in the DR universe, but Mettaton had a profound impact on Spamton just by making his a little art file. He unknowingly is the one who gives this spam email a glimpse into world above, and possibly a piece of his own hopes and dreams as well. I wonder if later the DR Mettaton, too, will be affected in some way by Spamton.

Love Laudna wanting Orym to be the one to cut her down if need be because she feels he can make hard choices, and Travis like "uh hello? What about Chetney? You want to put Orym through that anguish? I am right here" like damn, he right tho

[downn-in-flames]

disrespectfully if you’re erasing inej’s trauma of literally having her body commodified and abused as a child in your kanej fics/edits i’m blocking you

yeah that chapter went about how i expected it to.

not to say i predicted it, but denji feeling used and asa freaking the fuck out and yoru continuing to be a massive b-hole is definitely in line, but the full extent of what just happened clearly isn't gonna be explored until dozens of chapters down the line, same as denji's self-realization about his hypersexuality.

due to how short these chapters have been lately, i don't actually have much to say, but specifically asa and yoru REALLY impressed me this week. yoru being the one to deal with denji's mess made the fallout a little cleaner than i would have expected, but her KISSING HIM AGAIN??? AND TELLING HIM TO HIS FACE SHE DOESN'T LIKE HIM??? YOU FUCKING WHORE

not to mention asa displaying internalized misogyny in the midst of a, let's be honest, pretty funny slapstick gag, is an added touch i hoped to see and thankfully got. fujimoto has a LOT to work with in terms of our two human protagonists and i'm still anxiously excited for every new release.

all in all, people blew the cum on hand thing way outta proportion y'all are just weak and will not survive the winter

i love this one shot of ornithicera monologuing to his two surviving soldiers because i literally can't get over their big stupid raptor eyes

Li Yu: thank god the prince doesn’t know I’m a fish that can turn human! He might have me killed

Prince Jing: why doesn’t my fish want to fuck me? :(

LOL 🤣 But listen, he already knows his swan princess is a human! He is having the normal reaction to finding out the hot dude he met that one time is actually moonlighting as a fish to spend the days sharing his company and keeping him protected. Li Yu is the one who needs to get with the program!

You: breaking bad is a story about the havoc wrought on peoples psyches by American hegemony, toxic masculinity, the horror of a hierarchical world view, and acknowledging our own capacity for evil.

Me, high off my gourd on copium: AND!! about the people who choose to try kindness despite everything. The people who cling to life regardless. The people who fall and make mistakes and hurt people and still don’t resign themselves to a cycle of destruction. If Walter white is a vehicle for pessimistic nihilism, Jesse Pinkman is for optimistic nihilism. It matters that the story ends on jesses freedom. It matters that the story ends on life.

He's running forward, holding a gun in one hand with a determined and angry expression. Off to the left, in a small word balloon, is a chibi drawing of a younger man with a long sand blue braid, holding up a hand and making a panicked expression, next to which are the words "TURAGA NO!!"

Danny can get drunk, but it does take a much higher BAC (EAC? Maybe) to make a difference.

The trio find this out during a drinking game, when Sam and Tucker get tired of Danny always winning (they still play because they always manage to have fun together regardless). Tucker eventually invents The Penalty. A cocktail of nightmares made up of the strongest stuff in Sam’s parents’ liquor cabinet, in the most mismatched combinations he can concoct. There’s no recipe he goes by vibes and %ABV alone. Think of the most disgusting combination of alcohol and mixers you can think of and it’s that, and it’s different every time. Danny consistently says it tastes like regret (and also Windex, somehow? Tucker swears there’s no Windex) and realizes quickly he needs to get better at trivia not based on space.

I do wish Apollo would get a solo or two of his own

Asked about why he was blocked, young up and coming San Myshuno lawyer Tre McCoy says simply:
