[planetdream]

dreamie, i had someone unmatch me a while ago on hinge bc i listen to kpop groups w minors in them, and i wanna hear ur thoughts on that 🎤

context : they had skz all over their account, and commented on one of my concert fits (enha,) and when i mentioned i saw enha, they were like “ew wtf u listen to groups w minors in them? thats kinda weird” (this was when niki was still 17,)

bc like it rly got me thinking … do they only see idols in a sexual light??? bc me personally, i have been listening to kpop since i was 15, so seeing / listening to groups w minors is NOT weird / a problem to me… i am not attracted to minors like ????

- 🍊

ik u sent this a few weeks ago but I still wanted to answer this.

all in all i think the conversation is a bit deeper than solely seeing idols in a sexual light and has a bit more to do with leaning on ethics and the understanding of humans, in my opinion.

the topic of debuting minors has been hot discussion for several years, and i feel as though the topic has resurfaced heavily the last few years especially because of the sexualization and overworking of minors, and as well as the debut ages of lots of idols not only throughout the generations of kpop but especially within the 4th and 5th gen groups. i also think the topic resurfaces bc of that the fact that some labels tend to go after those who are younger rather than those who are older—and very often times, are a lot more talented.

a lot of idols who debuted as teenagers tend to come forth and say that they wish that they had more time to be not only a child, but a person. lots of idols get older and speak about the crazy hardships they had to go through in order to become an idol—think of the crazy diets (that children/teens should not go through for developmental purposes) and the long practices and the shaming/abuse, etc etc. think about the idols born in the 2000s who more than likely have long covid… i could also mention idols lacking proper education, as well as common knowledge and sense via their actions. i think these are reasons why a lot of people aren’t into groups with minors in them/debuting minors.

still, almost every single kpop group that exists has had at least one minor during time of debut—debuting minors is integrated in the culture of kpop.

and not 2 b a hater i think hybe specifically has almost increased the prevalence of the overworking and sexualization of minors**. but this is not to say that other labels have not or still do not contribute to this—because boy oh boy, so many labels are going to hell and lee sm will be the first to answer to god. I just personally think it's very prevalent right now within the hybe sphere given how many groups they currently have with minors in them—but just my opinion.

**thinking about how with enha, i feel like niki especially has been sexualized heavily both by fans but also due to the groups image/concept. also wanting to highlight le sserafim having questionable choreography despite having a minor(s) in the group. or min heejin and the new jeans roll out (that lolita situation)

because of these reasons, it's honestly made me put off by groups with minors in them. but i cannot be hypocritical because i liked enha’s music—but imma b so real; i wasn’t paying fr attention to the members born after 2002. i also can’t b hypocritical bc i like nmixx's music (and have liked songs by other groups with minors) but i haven't engaged in any of their non musical content since they debuted.

that being said i think recently, the girls of nmixx did a little variety show about the things they wish they got to do as children instead of training to be an idol. and just thinking about that made me so upset for the idols who debuted as kids and the kids who are now debuting as idols. which frames back to the whole 'idols wishing they got experience life' ideal.

there’s so many routes to follow when discussing this topic and naturally and understandably people get upset discussing this. idk bro i do have many opinions on this but like….idk…

After some debate I've decided on changing the chapter where Feng gets infected

So instead of the older version;

In the shade of the night, an oobleck piece of something dark that catches the faint moonlight seems to worm it’s way over decaying leaves and through dying grass. Happening upon Feng in its path to avoid the campfire, it chooses to crawl over him and disappears before reaching the other side. Feng twitches, scratches at the bruising spot it crawled over, and turns to the other side, but otherwise doesn’t react.

Now the (hopefully) final version will be;

In the shade of the night, Feng does his best to twist the blanket over his large frame

A glimpse of the half orc’s dreams fade into the frame, a rippling body of water under moons at an angle familiar to the Floryda region. As the moon’s eclipse each other, the crystal blue waters grow murky, becoming an inky shade of black that thickens into a strange oobleck.

There is a last glimpse of Feng sleeping, now shown sweating despite the chill.

“Ares…is a moron.”

I honestly don’t think that anyone is more amused by the whole “this douchebag decided to try and fight the child of the sea god on a fucking beach” of it all than Poseidon.

It would be nice to hear from Wanda and Cosmo! It is kind of nice that you guys have two children like your own family does. Are you two still close to your siblings? Wanda has a sibling and Cosmo also have a sibling just like Timmy and Peri. Do they share some sibling stories to your children?

Wanda and Cosmo both reconnected with their siblings shortly after having Peri. Or, well. More like Blonda reentered their lives once she realized she had a baby nephew. Eventually, they slowly patched things up the more Blonda came to visit Peri.

Schnozmo was dragged back kicking and screaming. Mama Cosma refuses to have her sons live estranged lives now that she has a grandchild in the picture. Schnozmo doesn't know how to handle children, but he's doing his best.

Peri likes Schnozmo because he makes silly noises and funny stories. But he prefers Blonda's theatrics much more and loves playing Dress Up with her.

this morning I am thinking about this little gem

and specifically about the feeling I've been turning over in my head for...a while, I think, about the way that there's this ambient assumption on Tumblr (and quite possibly elsewhere, this is just where I am) of...sub/masochist-as-normal-state, or at least sub/masochist-as-fine-but-not-questionable state, and it feels like that, on the flip side, ends up incidentally or purposefully constructing doms/sadists as the deviants, as inherently "sus."

and it lines up to a certain extent with the way that the conversations I see on this website about kink/BDSM often come from a sort of "presumed sub" perspective that leaves very little room for the thoughts and feelings of doms as valuable or important, and thoughts about an essay I read a while back that talked about the comparable societal acceptability of "fantasizing about being hurt" vs. "fantasizing about hurting people," and how "sadist" is a dirty word in a particular way that "masochist" isn't

it feels like sometimes there's this sense that (a) it's normal to have a little bit of sub/masochist tendencies, that's fine but (b) the only acceptable way to be a dom/sadist is if you feel bad about it. the ideal is to feel vaguely guilty, and mostly do it for the sake of somebody else's pleasure rather than your own.

I made a post a while ago that I can't find right now but it was, if I recall, "nails sign to tumblr door that says "doms have feelings too"" and I was joking but also I'm not.

My preliminary headcanon's for Jason's face over time:

Explanations and uncensored version below the cut:

TW: gore

1.Jaybin

Headcanon that once Jay was living with Bruce and Alfred, he got a lot of baby fat on his face- he has wavy curly hair in my head. Teal eyes - very smiley.

2. Jaybin :(

No way that explosion and building collapsing didn't do some physical damage. In this the skin below his eye has been torn and ripped open, it was ripped to the bone - and his left cheekbone was fractured- I also imagine tears around his forehead and back of his skull from the crowbar - but kind of hidden by his hair. Also his hair was frizzled by the explosion and smoke.

3. Post revival - pre-utrh

I was gonna draw him at his revival but forgot :( -might draw this later but I imagine his mortician reconstructed his face - and since it was a closed casket funeral it didn't have to be super clean. His skin was kept together with staples -

post revival- in his time in the hospital catatonic, it healed super wonky and (based on my own surgical scars) it keloided in some areas and sunk in in some others - and because he wasn't able to treat them- they're super tough and pull at his skin and don't fade properly to white like they should. The scars from the staples are still there. The scar is also a little shiny where it keloided- idk why but my scars do it in certain lighting.

His face is a lot more masculine and older but it still has a decent amount of baby fat (he's still super young). This is about 2 years post revival so hes around 17 - very recently after his time in the pit. (I feel like 15-17 for a lot of kids has huge body and face changes so imagine mentally 15 yr old Jason suddenly so grown- might revise this to make him more baby looking)

The white hairs just begun to grow - i kept the baby curls because of course i did.

I bounce between whether or not the pit healed his scars or not because I find both so compelling- but as an artist i like drawing cool scars more.

4. Post-utrd

His face is a bit more defined again. - now featuring the batarang scar. I haven't put to much though into his other face scars yet so these may change yet again.

His scar has faded slightly but it still tugs on his face massively - it won't go white. He cant smile without it tugging uncomfortably- sometimes even hurting. He smirks like a loser instead. He frowns as his resting face both because hes a bitch but also because of the position of the scar.

Featuring the batarang scar yayyyyyyy- i also headcanon that the doesn't treat it correctly (do you think he has time to massage it and moisturize that many times a day??) so it tugs every time he turns his head.

The white hair has fully grown out and he got a haircut.

I also did one for his body scars - and one for arkham knight jason but i want to redo them with a little more research - quick preview of that though - arkham knight - dealing with the effects of undernourishment from his childhood and from his year with the joker - only grew to about 5'3. And mainline jason that didn't die grew to about 5'6. Will do a comprehensive headcanon list for different universe jays.
