weird rules, social expectations and Being A Woman

you know, something that really pisses me off about Society (tm) is how normativity is just so mindlessly, happily rewarded, even by the most tolerant of people. specifically (but not exclusively) regarding to gender expression.

i am a woman. i was born a woman, i live as a woman, i am perceived as a woman, and i even identify as a woman. ill admit i also have some gender fuckery going on in here, but my internal identity is, frankly, nobodys business; im happy to be assumed a woman, because i honestly dont care how others perceive me in this regard. but. this doesnt mean that i am happy to do the whole nonsense routine that is required to be considered a Real Woman by almost everyone in this god darn planet. i dont do makeup, i dont like to style my hair, i mostly stopped shaving, and you couldnt pay me to care about clothes.

my mother is always telling me about how pretty i am. growing up, i heard it all the time. you have such beautiful curls, if i had hair like yours i would let it grow a lot longer (thanks, i like it shorter tho). im so jealous of your eyes, they are so blue! (haha yeah, i was born with them). i bet this dress would look so pretty on you, why do you never wear skirts? (they just make me uncomfortable, i like my own clothes anyways). if you wore makeup more often you would look so much more beautiful (i like how my face looks, thanks). you should shave your legs, they look bad like that (you never tell [brother] to shave his legs).

it is infuriating. i hate it so, so much. i am a woman, not a doll to play dress up with. and if i have to pretend to be a human, the least that society could do is to just let me exist in peace! it drives me crazy that all this is even expected. worst part, it is fucking Everywhere.

this christmas one of my cousins got me a new pencil case. it is pink and green, and has some cats and snakes and bugs and moons drawn on it. it is beautiful, and although i wasnt too thrilled about the color, i figured it was cool so i began using it. one of my friends saw me take it out during class, said oooo [name], thats so pretty! and gave me a Look. i dont know how to explain it without sounding crazy, but i swear it was like she was saying, so now you like Woman Stuff! you know what Look im talking about, right? when you finally cave in and do the feminine thing, and its like everyone is so happy that youre finally filling your expected role in life. it is weird as hell. i dont like it.

but like, this is my friend, who supports me being aroace and autistic and IS BISEXUAL HERSELF! something something, leftism leaving peoples bodies when a gender non-conforming person does something that is stereotypically associated with their gender. idk, its a bit like dog training when you think about it for a second. in animal training (and i mean proper animal training, not beating your dog until it stops barking), good behavior should be rewarded, while bad behavior is supposed to be ignored so the animal learns to only do the good behavior. you do the feminine thing, and you get smiles and compliments; you stop doing it, then suddenly gender presentation doesnt matter. and this... training behavior is, of course, mostly unconscious, with its perpetrators unaware that theyre even doing it. if i asked my friend what she meant by that, she would say that she didnt mean anything, she just liked the case. if i asked my mother why do i have to shave while my brother doesnt, she would say that its just how things are.

its just how things are. its how it always has been. its how it always will be. so just shut up, smile, and pretend it isnt happening. pretend youre not being trained like a dog to salivate at the sound of a bell. it doesnt matter, it isnt happening, so why bother thinking about it? dont think about it. stop thinking about it.

The 14DWY brainrot is real... >_<

What if angel also have a persona and has had it since ren and angel met??? but just puts more effort in it now

(And since ren/redacted dosent have a type lets say their persona was baised on the cute sterotype or something like that... )

idk if that made sense... Sorry if it dosent english isnt my first language......

Anyway have a nice day :D

✦゜ANSWERED: I've answered something similar here before, but Ren has known Angel for more than 13+ years, so he would most likely know about their persona and wouldn't really... think much of it? It's still Angel, and that's all that matters to him.

Ren's type is literally just Angel — as they are — so even if they were into the cute stereotype (regardless of whether it's a persona or not), that would still be his type!

hcs for pony being a total nerd

pls

pls...

.....pls

pleek,,,,,pleeekkk

but omg i was thinking about the eltingville club while writing this where r my eltingville club lovers @

•ok yesss ponys book smart but to me hes mainly a pop culture nerd, i can look into his eyes and see that. less to do w celebrities and lesser w video games, more to do w movies, literature, things of that nature!! would he b out and proud w it tho??? nope, hes keeping this under lock and key

•that isnt to say that he isnt an academic nerd however he absolutely is, thats just a lesser aspect of his nerdiness + hes not big into “obviously nerdy subjects” in school, like math!!! he sucks at math💔💔 (yknow who doesnt tho??? curly,,,pony always calls him a need i promise)

•biology class though???? right after literature class (maybe gym too) id say thats his best class, huge nerd about it and will pay his deepest attention, dissection labs???? he loves it, he loves being hands on, u should see his notes theyre perfect

•i hc that he has asthma and allergies so adding onto the fact that hes school smart, ik the gang gets on his ass when hes sick w either of the two things. he becomes a walking stereotype in their eyes and he cant even defend himself against that💔💔

•if he hears someone saying something wrong about something he’s RLLY interested in he WILL correct them bc it grinds his gears to hear misinfo being spread. if its someone he doesnt know saying it he will keep his mouth shut but will b bursting at the seams and foaming at the mouth quietly

“ermmmm acktually” founding member

•ohhhh pop culture nerd pony how u would have a deep love hate relationship w fandoms and its culture❤️

•pony wouldnt have a lot of collectors edition things but he doesnt go CRAZY about it, it doesnt upset him to not have a lot of expensive/limited edition things (is this his way of coping w being broke??? maybe but aldo no, doesnt upset him bad!!) unless the limited edition thing adds onto whatever hes into and isnt just “literally just physically a new look” hes into it!!! hand it here!!!!

•speaking of limited edition, when it comes to those limited edition stuff movie theaters give out to ppl watching a movie, he doesnt care how corny it is hes a sucker for those, loves em, keeps the small collection in his old room to go in and stare at later on, for ones hes more fond of he keeps it in his and sodas room. sodas such a cool guy he doenst even complain about it, he will save those snacks centered around characters for pony to have (cause duhhh works at a gas station)

•idk how to explian this one well but he would take up doing small things that other characters also do. like idfk if a character has a specific way of doing something, pony would take up doing it as well, not even bc it makes him look tuff but bc it makes him feel closer to the character

•ok half way of writing this i realized im making pony more of a geek than a nerd but 1) what the fuck evvveeerrrrr 2) look i dont think anyone teasing pony would rlly care about the difference, i dont even think pony would rlly care about the difference either and would also use the two interchangeably, if anything he would just call himself a geek bc theres less of a negative connotation behind it and he feels like hes reclaiming it a bit

•he doesnt wear or in general take merch of his interest OUTSIDE, inside those r his lounging around clothes. plus he has to put em to use somehow the gang always gives him stuff related to it to support him and he cant let them sit around collecting dust

•put him next to a stereotypical nerd and he will not b like “omg nerds unite” he will b nice outwardly☝🏽☝🏽☝🏽but in his head he is so judgy

[magpod-confessions]

tbh all the jmart hate on this blog is really upsetting to me and like. I understand and respect your opinions, but they're so important to me. I get that I'm probably wrong about them cause I tend to be the most stereotypical fandom trash in the world but.... idk, I recognize that there are unhealthy aspects of their relationship in canon but I want to believe they can make it work if they communicate better and get therapy. I feel like the unhealthy parts of their relationship and how their individual flaws as people play into it can be explored and analyzed without just throwing the whole ship out. it's also ok to enjoy a dynamic in fiction without necessarily condoning it in real life. Jonathan Sims and Martin Blackwood are two severely broken people crudely pasted together by the glue that is trauma, codependency, and truly nightmarish circumstances but I believe they can make it work. or not. idk just let me have this. 🗣

This is real and fair. When I did ship Jmart I 100% shared this view and was uncomfortable with ppl going against it bc it felt like ppl were saying I was bad for liking the ship. Which isnt the case, we all have personal preferences and ways to explore fandom and have fun. Also Ik for a fact that I have often completely ignored canon for my own enjoyment, which is completely fine if someone else also wants to do that. Personally I dont entirely subscribe to 'Their relationship wouldve never worked ever' bc I think it easily could with a lot of therapy and work put into it, but personally I still dont ship it myself

Fave Marauders song? ☣️

hi! okay, so im assuming you mean a song i associate with each marauder? (this is a long answer ahaha, i like to talk)

also, if you want me to do more of these for any other characters or any ships, let me know!! this was a lot of fun to think about and write <333

ill start with james. the first song (because i cannot just pick one) would have to be 'peace' by taylor swift. hes a bundle of energy, and he tends to act before he thinks (see: wand left on couch.) "[danger's] just around the corner darling, cause it lives in me. no i could never give you peace." but also hes a lover, and he would do anything for the people he cares for. "im a fire and ill keep your brittle heart warm if your cascade ocean wave blues come" etc. theres still that little bit of uncertainty in him though; "would it be enough if i could never give you peace?" its him.

similarly, though, i think of him when i hear 'epiphany' from the same album. idk if its because i associate it with the first wizarding war and therefore james, but i just- its him. it just is.

i also hc james to have some level of mental health struggles, whether it be anxiety, depression, or bipolar disorder. so, in my head, both 'talk too much' (specifically the ramble/bridge) and 'gemini moon' by reneé rapp scream james potter. i think 'gemini moon' would be something he'd try to hide relating to, because in his head hes supposed to be perfect, hes supposed to be a rock for everyone else. hes the golden boy of gryffindor tower, yknow. these also feel more like they relate to the modern/muggle aus i like to read though

on a similar note: 'mirrorball' by taylor swift. hes always putting on this show to make people smile, to help people, to make them laugh. he adapts to be what people need, but when he finally snaps, when everything just becomes too much, he doesnt just break - he shatters. "i know they said the end is near but im still on my tallest tiptoes" this could also relate to the war; he knows voldemort is targeting him, lily, and harry, but hes still trying to keep positive. "they called off the circus, burned the disco down" all the joy from hogwarts is gone because of the war but "im still trying everything to get you laughing at me" he wants to keep people smiling. he wants people to have hope.

also, although im trying to avoid ships, major shoutout to pretty much every jeremy shada song to exist, because theyre so james potter-coded regarding his love life and the way he loves people

alright, imma move onto sirius before i ramble too far. this first song ties a little into james though - 'seven' by taylor swift. specifically, james talking to sirius about his family and inviting him to live with the potters instead. have a listen and youll agree

still on his relationship with his family, sirius is definitely a 'family line' by conan gray sort of guy. he would scream it at the top of his lungs.

furthermore, sticking w conan gray, i love 'found heaven' as a sirius song, too. after spending so much of his life being told all the things wrong with him, only to discover his sexuality - yet another thing i think he'd have issues accepting about himself - he eventually does find that acceptance. "youll never get your mama's wedding ring. father always said you ruined everything. but you prayed, begged and prayed, heart unchanged" "dont be scared little child, you're no demon" "your heart is breaking as you leave that door. you never meant to start this holy war. but youre trapped, pack your bags, dont look back" just all of it. its him.

on a more positive note, though, i see 'boys & girls' by conan gray as his song too. again, im trying to keep away from talking about specific ships and focus on the individuals, but this works even more if you ship wolfstar. imagine remus singing this about sirius. as much as we all like to say remus is a cassanova of gryffindor, hes a lanky nerd covered in scars. he isnt typically/stereotypically "attractive", not like sirius. sirius, who is saught after by many, but never dares to look at his friend like that, because how could he? theyre friends, and thats all. right?

that leads nicely into remus. i dont have as many options to hand for remus as james and sirius, so ill just go through all that i can remember off the top of my head. most obviously: 'the view between villages' by noah kahan. i feel like i dont even need to explain this one. its all him. you could look at it from the beginning of poa when he returns to hogwarts, or you could look at it from when he goes back to hogwarts to fight in the final battle to ultimately die. either way, its him.

god okay i know i said i want to avoid ships but i just have to throw this in here. 'in the kitchen' by reneé rapp is so remus after he loses sirius, either to azkaban or the veil. give it a listen and tell me im wrong.

its a bit of a sad one, but 'the next right thing' from frozen 2 is kinda giving me remus vibes. like, especially after the first war, all his friends are dead, or traitors. and now dumblefuck is asking him to come back to hogwarts to teach his dead friends' son? what else was he to do but drag himself out of his misery and put harry first? he didnt have his friends left to fight for anymore, but he could still make a difference for harry.

'memories' by conan gray is also giving remus. i could see it being about sirius maybe coming to him after he escapes azkaban or after the prank, but i actually see it more as his thoughts after dumblefuck visits him to get him to teach at hogwarts. obv not every line of the song, but the main idea of it. "i wish that you would stay in my memories, but you show up today just to ruin things. i wanna put you in the past cause im traumatised, but youre not letting me do that"

that was... a much smaller amount of songs for remus than i thought i had. does anyone have any suggestions?

for peter, i had to do a little more thinking, honestly. 'i almost do' by taylor swift makes me think of him bc like, do you ever think peter considered trying to reach out to remus at all during those 12 years between james' death and sirius' escape from azkaban? i know it probably would not have gone well for him if he had but like... ive thought about it.

similarly, 'miss you' by conan gray. does peter have regrets about what he did? maybe. is he allowed to miss his friends after what he did? maybe. so much of this song does feel like what peter might have been thinking following the betrayal. "is it wrong to now decide i miss you?" yeah, maybe buddy.

but then maybe he wouldnt have, yknow. so my next thought was 'crossing the line' from tangled the series. its so incredibly peter & james coded (with james as rapunzel)

on a more fanon side of things, i think my answer would be 'bruises' by reneé rapp. if we're going with the whole thing where sirius especially, but the other marauders as a whole treat peter as lesser (i dont think thats canon, and honestly im not a huge fan of the hc either, but its still something i now associate w peter) then 'bruises' really captures how he'd feel. "all my friends make sweet fun of me...sure im down to be the joke, metaphorically though you could flip me inside out and it would show black purple and green" its his song if you hc this

finally, i put forward 'run' by taylor swift and ed sheeran. i want to think that, before turning to voldemort, peter tried to convince his loved ones to just escape the war. leave it for someone else to fight and die in. he wanted to survive, and he wanted his friends to survive too, if he could. ultimately, his friends wanted to stay. james and sirius had been wanting to join the order more than anything after they graduated, and remus felt he owed a debt, if nothing else. they werent going to leave or sacrifice their moral compass to save themselves. so peter ran, alone.

im going to leave it here for now, but again please feel free to ask for more characters or any ships!! i have songs for a couple other characters, i think, and a few ships, so ill do my best to answer what i can <33

[radarchives]

I dont think youve gotten an ask like this before since this is an om! blog and all and this is possibly gonna sound weird or dumb of me to ask a german native this, but how hard is your grammar really?

Reason (1-1) for my question: languages are my guilty pleasure. I'm only fluent in arabic and english rn but I wanna learn as much as I can, even if just basic facts, not a language itself

Reason (1-2): people learning german insist that the grammar is "brutal" especially for english-speakers but frankly it kinda feels that theres exaggeration or a "trend" along the lines of "german grammar is impossible because everyone says so" even if it's not THAT gory, yk?

Any new language IS gonna be hard at first- thats a given. And some languages like arabic / chinese / japanese / korean are listed at the top for difficulty. Ik that german grammar has many many rules and has exceptions... Linguistic sites say thats a reason for its complexity and the majority of learners agree with "yeah it's too difficult"

But tbh?? Idk

At this point it feels like a stereotype that was based off facts at first but then got negatively exaggerated?? I think yes german grammar is more "detailed" than the english norm / other grammar rules but it isnt monstrous like whats being often said and spread about it?

Thats why I wanna hear an authentic objective thought on this from a german if you dont mind🎤

hey there!

i really don't think German is one of the most difficult languages to learn. if you're an english native speaker the things you might struggle the most with are:

- pronunciation (harsher sounds, less soft than english, äöü sounds. when you have someone who can correct you this isn't as difficult to learn)

- grammar (lots of rules and lots of exceptions as well. words are gendered with der, die, das /feminine, masculine, neutral. also learning how to decline words can be tricky as well, but i think that just comes down to memorisation and practice)

- the sheer volume of vocabulary. a lot of words are HIGHLY specific (which is the fun part to be honest. there's lots of german words that are difficult to translate to english bc of this. an example would be the German word "doch" which is something similar to "yes it is" or "is not, is too")

i can imagine the difficulty level might be similar to learning french (at least from what i can compare). honestly i can only judge this so far, at work i do have lots of people around me who are just starting to learn the language, these are a few things that i saw them struggle with as well.

i think it mostly comes down to dedication and interest. you do have to put in a lot of effort, but you obviously have to do that for every language.

i think German gets a bad rep for sounding harsh and brutal, but i think it sounds quite beautiful. here's a little comp of German words i appreciate.

Nickerchen - nap

Maus - literally means mouse, but more recently has become youth slang. you can call someone "eine süße Maus" / literally a cute mouse / when they did something nice for example. Maus is originally gendered female = die Maus, but is used in a gn way like this. Meine Follower sind zum Beispiel richtig süße Mäuse 🥰

also used as an adjective (mausig)

Fremdschämen - being embarrassed for someone else. Wenn ich sehe, dass Lucifer redet als hätte er drei Wörterbücher verschluckt, schäme ich mich fremd.

unschön - unattractive, unpleasant. this one isn't special but it's my morally acceptable way of saying "well that fucking sucked" at work. Das ist jetzt aber unschön verlaufen.

so yeah! if you want to learn it don't let the naysayers stop you!

i wish more people made puf fics but everytime someone makes a new fic its either extremely shitty bokacsek with questionably sexual lgbt stereotypes or Everyone Hates Everyone Yet Theyre Together Anyway (trademark) Is it really so hard to have a fic where the gang goes to the beach together like THE 14 YEARS OLDS THEY ARE and makes sand castles but ohh shit! feri áts is there but Hes not that bad actually And look at that sick surf board woah!!! hes really fuckin thr waves up over there haha- oh wait oh holy fuck holy shit hes fallen. is he ok? idk lets see? yeah hes alright haha just a fall. just a little slipup. cool guys can slip too it seems! nemecsek doesnt have any snacks :-( but its ok because csele brought a whole pantry! because hes rich. boka has homemade guacamole :3 csónakos brought junk food! they all share.... kolnay's glasses got sandy and hes upset because he cant see anything (barabás is at fault here) but its ok because bárabas apologizes and cleans the glasses with him :-).... áts tells a scary story! everyones super spooked. boka says ghosts arent real but after goimg to the bathroom he gets super spooked but then nemecsek comes too and hes like "are u ok?" and bokas like "im a little scared actually. stuff. sad." and they embrace! wow! now isnt this just lovely. isnt this just great. ha ha. NOW GET READY FOR CSELNAKOS SEX FIC HAHAHAHA. HAHAHA. IM GOING TO RIP MY TEETH OUT!!!!!! /neg

[mach1ne-g1rl]

ocs ive never posted on here except its their roleswap/ua au designs

i want to talk a little about it maybe... be nice

in canon Tekiko is disowned by her parents for being quirkless (shes not, her quirk just came in late and her parents had a quirk marriage) and it gives her some sort of self worth issues. In This AU though they catch word of afo and take her back so that Afo can give her a quirk (Sublimation in this case) and she can grow up to be her parents trophy child or something idk. Canon typical Afo 'makes you a spy for him', they get Tekiko into UA and she does basically what Ayoama is already doing. But this takes place one year earlier (dont ask me what actually happens plotwise, i never cared enough to think about it). I tried to keep their personalities as intaact as i could, so she's still relatively herself, just with other driving forces, a little more pressured (she GOT disowned but they took her back with the condition that she does whatever they say, id imagine that would put a lot of fear into a 5 year old) and a little happier to initiate violence (encouraged to, even).

ouu Shiana in canon is like . so stereotypically edgy like living on the street but in a 'running around at night to do villanous activities type' way because thats what i made up for her 3 years ago and ive just worked around that and now it feels too late to change.. AnyWay she does this because she got involved with criminals in her area and thought itd put her mother in danger if she kept staying at home. so she like lives in warehouses or other peoples apartments or something. back to my point, she lives alone with her mom bc her dad abandoned her when she got pregnant (they were very young) and Shianas Quirk is that her Blood is Bromine (this worked better when her quirk was cyanide blood but whatever). IN this au, Something happens which causes her to get injured and then be exposed to fire, which lights up the bromine in her blood (is bromine even flammable like that?) and well. she burns a bit. which is a near death experience! Which leads to her quirk evolving! which makes her quirk one that allows her to change her blood to different chemicals! This happens before the whole involvement with bad people so yk her mom. takes her to a hospital and also tries to contact shianas dad for the first time after he left. hes an OK dude so he actually does help them out and after years of recovery they go to a doctor for her quirk and er stuff happens and her mom proposes going to a hero school like ua where they also have support classes since she can do so much more with her quirk now. shiana doesnt have it in her to turn down so she goes to ua yay. shes smart enough to pass the written exams and stuff and i do think shed be very innovative or would enjoy building if she was in a place where thats possible. which is ua! shes still not a fan of people who want to become heroes bc shes felt very let down by them and is just. cynical. but she toughs it out..

The way shiana and tekiko get involved here is through tekiko trying to sneak around past school hours and shiana, having access to support classes and keys, catches her in the act. Shiana is much less physically capable of combat in this au and tekiko is actually kind of trained to do like undercover stuff so tekiko eaasily gains the upper hand. tekiko and shiana have Met before this in this au, when the 1st years got a tour of the different sections the school has and what not. tekiko tried to strike up a covnersation with her bc it was important for her to get connections early but while shiana isnt asss aggressively pessimistic here, shes still very anitsocial and doesnt much care to make friends in ua. so she shoots tekiko down at almost any opportunity. for plot sake tekiko found out about her personal life through either finding files in school or stalking idk idc but she threatens shianas family when they have that fateful encounter after school. it does make shiana pretty complicit but this also reignites the fire in her that she lost when she started walking the Good Path (shiana isnt evil in canon. shes hardly a villain. shes not a good person but shes much further on neutral on the line between neutral and evil than she is on evil. its just circumstances..) Either way Shiana needs something to Hate to be her authentic self. its an important aspect of her character.. so tekiko can be that for her here. So while shiana cant tell UA staff or any other higher ups about . the mole in school, she can be mean towards tekiko. and tekiko isnt even mad about it, she probably thinks its funny. hating each other is in their nature.. tekiko never told anyone else that shiana knew either because she wants to protect the banter they get to have.. this would probably lead to an eventual switch in sides but im just going with the trope now, and besides, i dont have plot. i just have vague ideas and their hatred that i love

if you read all this i feel flattered and i hope you dont think too lowly of me for whateve rreason now idk oc lore makes me so self conscious its so cornyy but whatever. thats all

Yingdu Reactions

these are summarized from the Site That Shall Not Be Named.

EP1 |

oh yeah when the bell rang in the hideout i totally heard tides start in my head and saw the episode end shshsjsj- the trauma.....

after sitting on it, my personal take on the photo studio inconsistency is that its an error. I do think they skipped sth (bc LG's wound) but the COUNTER itself being inconsistent (+ room changing in the middle of a scene) makes me want to write it off. ↪ could eat my words! maybe LG thought more room between the counter and the wall would..... idk. give Vein more room to miss CXS or sth lmao-

the chokehold "blaze" specifically has on me is gigantic after yingdu basketball scene. idek where it played in s2 but goddamn.

EP3 |

it was too gay for me to focus on anything else dhsjsd- the shoulder lean?? one bed??? drunk scene?? cxs' continuous bi energy??? everyone and their mom having the hots for Felix??

my friends were like "omg!! we gotta search the book number" so we did: it's 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁 nothing -_- (it's not even a valid ISBN ashjsa-) (edit: it's a code for WQ's ability)

the yingdu trailer being just a previous timeline that LG is flashing back to (with the Felix poster) is Very Neat. I like that. I like that a lot!!

very curious to learn more about vein……. esp with XF. At first I immediately thought "oh no" but it seems…. less toxic than I would have thought? I wonder how manipulative vein is being here…. 🤔

so this is how it feels to have your culture portrayed to an extreme haha. the soccer people being So Intense is silly but hey this is the show where CXS!LG jumped off of a racing boat like 7 meters onto CXS. So. Just Funny Show being Funny. + westeners deserve some stereotyping too pfft. ig it feels weirder for me bc i literally cannot be bothered about sports.

yingdu being so gay even my non shipper friend is asking if they were always this gay

EP4 |

IT WAS TWO BEDS I'M DEVASTATED my friends: "timeline shift omg!!!!1" pfft-

Vein: grins us: "Oh damn he's happy to see CXS" CXS: (why is he staring at me?) me and a friend in vc: "he's gay" Vein: "you look tasty" vc: bursts into laughter

the SIGH of relief i let out when CXS didn't introduce himself as Charles in english was gigantic. thank god.

EP5 |

so uh is ep6 gonna be an hour too or are we cooked?

the tasty comeback killed me I was laughing so hard. such a good bridoner, good job cxs.

Are we still like....... in the "keep the timeline the same" route?? bc originally they didn't meet vein alr right so.... did they just ask felix and meet vein for the first time here?

Also wow geee i wonder who that kid at the school was (also why was the hair dying alr a kid thing haha) uNLESS they are trolling again-

WAIt isnt felix chinese? why would he be here at such a young age. am i dumb. (maybe.) shiguang has been too gay for me to pay attention.

also is lu guang still checking too many images to keep the timeline in check? the connection cut off was worrying....... (and also re-contextualizes the earthquake cut-off in s1)

EP6 |

my disappointment is immeasurable & my day is ruined. (retcons)

on a positive note the mom seems to actually be doing things and have agency! yippieee

we did initially think LG was just "puppeteering" Vein's death (i.e. artistic) but then the eyes confused us. honestly as out there as the XF steals Vein's identity thing was, I kinda was hyped to see it happen sdhjd- idrk what to make of this whole fake death thing pfft-

wait this also means that LH0 saying someone dies in Ep6 was an outright lie too, right?? unless this confirms XF is not just gone but also dead

im amused btw that WQ's power is just a fake death note sushs- say name, they get heart attack. but also thats terrifying. like. imagine being buried and waking up in the coffin. Vein was lucky LX seemingly knew dhdhd

i also thought LG answered "detective" to the story thing. mostly bc i can't see vein having the same answer as CXS, and I kinda imagine LG would be more pessimistic.

it's interesting that CXS' mom seems to have a power as well, a really similar power if not the same. from what we know, LTX/LTC's mom didn't have powers, and while LG's dad seemed to know about powers we've never had someone have outright the same power. so it makes me wonder, since powers can be transferred, did CXS get it from someone else? Do they simply both have this power or is something more sinister/timeline-fuckery going on? 🤔 ↪ I was informed that the interview revealed powers CAN be genetic. SO. IG that answers that (sighs)

OVERALL |

I like the presentation more than s2, so I hope that aspect will carry into s3. please leave forced cliffhangers in s2~

My friends had a way better experience with it I think because they, unlike me, weren't standing in front of a pinboard with all contradictions like an idiot. So when LG said this is the last time, they were like "oh okay neat. same timeline as s1/s2".

If LH0 can reveal sm information in an interview I'm sure he could have given us a headsup to yingdu being like "yo we had to change the timeline, beware". A timetravel show can't just do this. Theorizing LC is always SO unrewarding and I'm sick and tired of it.

We also still don't know what happened in CXS' death where LG just gained a shot wound inbetween scenes. I am going insane. I am so sad. I'm going to cry (period hormones are not helping). why are things I love always falling short of my expectations-

hey cas,

so, i dont really know exactly how to word things right so please bear with me while i try to explain a bit.

i think i have bipolar disorder (or something similar, im still looking into things), but i dont know if im just going crazy and imagining things. theres not really anyone in my life i can talk to about it to gauge their opinion, so im kind of left by myself to deal with it.

i dont have a trusted adult or loved one i can go to for help, and ive not been to a doctor since probably 2017 at the latest so im not even sure who id be making an appointment with to discuss anything like this. ive considered trying to get myself into therapy but im afraid that if i go in saying that i think im bipolar and have other mental illnesses (im about 99% certain i have anxiety and likely some sort of depressive disorder too, but that might be more linked with the mood swings of bipolar) that its the wrong way to go about it? like, i might just be really ignorant but i dont think thats how therapy works is it?

basically im worried that if i go in saying the disorders i think i have, then theyll tell me im exaggerating or that i need other people to back me up or that i do need to see my gp doctor (which, again, i dont actually think i have one) or that it isnt my place to try to diagnose myself etc.

im not really sure what im asking here? maybe if you have any advice/experience about what therapy is actually like or what i could expect? or a better way to go about getting help? i really dont know honestly aha, sorry

Well, you've definitely come to the right place lol, I've been to and ghosted many a therapist! (Don't ghost your therapist!)

Actually, recently I started therapy again and it's been a great experience, so let me tell you about it. Warning: I live in the US, so if you live elsewhere, it might be different.

When you start therapy, they're going to ask you a LOT of questions. Lots about your background, your childhood, your feelings, etc. It'll feel a bit invasive, but make sure to be honest! Like brutally honest. Like if you're like...'I might be feeling this way but idk if I'm faking..' tell them that. They need to know everything.

Then, if you're a minor, they'll talk to your parents and get their insight. If you have issues with your parents, make sure to tell them that BEFORE this part happens, so they can take what your parents say with a grain of salt.

Last, they'll give you a 'tentative diagnosis.' This means that this is what they think you have, but it's not a die-hard medical diagnosis. They'll treat you based on this, but if you ever wanted accommodations in school or anything for it, you would have to go to a clinical psychiatrist to get it written up.

Here's the thing: the diagnosis my surprise you or even make you feel invalidated. If it does? Tell them that. Because, two things: One- they may have gotten something wrong. Or two- they need to know if you aren't understanding something fully.

To be very personal, I am diagnosed with both depression and anxiety. When I started therapy recently and again got those diagnoses, I wasn't surprised. But I also was told I have 'illness-anxiety disorder' which is the new term for a hypochondriac. I was super insulted because I was picturing the stereotypical hypochondriac who fakes illnesses for attention (this was uneducated of me) but my therapist explained that this version of anxiety more means that I have a lot of anxiety related to being nervous to get sick or the results of getting sick. Which was like- oh. yeah. I do panic every time someone sneezes on me. My therapist said this has become increasingly common since COVID.

All this to say it sounds like seeking out therapy might be a great way for you to get the answers you're looking for. But even if they're not the answers you think they'll be, remember that your feelings and experiences are still extremely valid and no less real.

Coming to you as if anything you tell me about how Bakugo relationshipwise would be canon cause you just kinda talk about him like your the author so I trust your judgement as in "Bakugo would do that" kinda way.

If Bakugo was dating Deku and the scenario was Deku wanted her to keep it a secret cause Deku had a reputation of "leading on girls" but not for the reason you think it's only because hes just nice to people that makes him approachable andgirls like it when a guy is nice so Deku had a lot of friends that are girls at school and others at school perceive it has him being a womanizer even thought he denies it all the time he cant help that so (for the scenario I'm gonna say Bakugo is a girl) Deku and Bakugo start dating and Deku wants them to keep their relationship a secret for now but he promises it wont always be like that

How do you think Bakugo would react to this? Would she pretend with him to keep her own appearance up as in "dating is stupid and I'm here to learn to be a hero" or would she demand to be known to dating Deku publicly?

I like to take into account that even if Bakugo was a girl nothing would be different about her but an upbringing as a girl Bakugo would be slightly different but the same I saw someone make a long thing where they talked about how coded Bakugo was of a girl who wants to be her own thing and not fit into girl stereotypes she isnt a tomboy shes just Bakugo the girl who wears suits instead of dresses and puts her feet up on the table

ALSO This scenario takes place after the USJ attack they are soon to take their exams when Allmight messed up Deku's back but before they take the exams

I'm sorry this is so specific lol

okay this is one of the nicest things somebody has said to me, I'm so happy to indulge in this scenario

Okay so straight to the point i think Bakugo would want to be known as izuku's girlfriend, not necessarily bc she makes a big deal out of being public or anything, but she knows her worth and she knows she's good and any person who is with her should be proud to have her and show her, so deku better have a damn good reason to ask to keep the relationship a secret, she wouldn't press it but i think she would make herself clear, or even give an "ultimatum" like until u ready to let people know we not dating for real

Can i just say i also love that deku gets involved in this misunderstanding confusionskjdfj, he's just TOO nice, girls always think he's flirting or wanting something but it's just his way of being nice and polite and now he has a lot of people who confess and get their hearts broken when he says he's not into them like that, he got the fame of leading girls on but he was just being himselfkjkjdk

And i also like to think girl bakugo wouldn't be that much different, she knows what she wants and how she wants and she won't accept it any less!! Idk if what i said made much sense, but if you want to continue this i would love to!! But yeah, basically i think she would only accept keeping it a secret if it was a very good reason or else she's out

ranting on the blog cos i fucking can!!!! saw a post talking shit about a fic that involved an asexual character and im just annoyed!!!!

i hate reading a fic and seeing the comments and one of them is like “hey this piece of work is shit cos u represented this asexual character wrong >:(“ when the work represented the asexual character PERFECTLY FINE but theyre not sex repulsed.

the character could be shown making sex jokes or even just casually talking about sex and somehow its an issue? lord FORBID theyre in the bedroom too (no matter if they’re participating or not)

funny enough asexual people arent all sex repulsed, idk how many times this needs to be said? not all asexual folk are the silly weird “sometimes i forget sex exist!” character thats become to prevalent in media now. and im not saying being sex repulsed is bad/being stereotypical, being sex repulsed is fine! ok! amazing! but what im saying is it isnt the only way to be asexual.

honestly any representation of asexuality is good representation cos its a (sparkle effect) SPECTRUM (sparkle effect) some are sex repulsed, some are sex indifferent, some are sex favourable, some are sex weird and some just really wanna touch some ass. You literally cannot misrepresent asexuality unless you purposely write a canon ace character as allo. you cannot misrepresent asexuality cos people are weird and odd and different.

im sorry if your uncomfy with an asexual character being written/shown as being sex indifferent/sex favourable but please just block the tags, dont read the work, dont interact and fucking dont comment. youre acting like an ass and making someone feel bad for no reason. its fine to be uncomfortable cos funny enough you have the right to but dont put others down cos you’re uncomfortable.

it happens so often no matter if its fanfiction, artwork, whatever-the-fuck, anytime an asexual character is shown in a sex related situation theres a problem. unless if the character has been specified to be sex repulsed, shut up and let people have fun.

it gets tiring thats all?

(not using any specific tags, only cos i dont wanna get harassed but if you somehow found this congrats ig)

its been brought to my attention recently that as a white guy it probs isnt rlly my place to make poc headcanons for fictional characters so jst fyi if i change my raincode designs back to being closer to their original skin tones thats why

ive looked for more opinions on this from different ppl of color and seems like some ppl dont rlly see it as harmful as long as its not based on stereotypes etc (and even in the rc fandom i know ppl of color who liked my halara/desuhiko/seth redesigns for that) but others say it erases the whole point why ppl of color started doing it in the first place so yknow jst in case it seems iffy to anyone i think i might be changing that in the future

if ur poc let me know ur view on this if u want to cuz idk maybe now changing their skin colors back to lighter ones is also not the best thing to do but yeah important update i guess

Do you think DC can ever fix its dragon lady issue? if so, what will it take?

before i say anything i want to say that i am white so im definitely not the authority on this subject in any way but ill still answer this to the best of my ability <3

i dont think i would go as far as to say it can NEVER fix its dragon lady issue, its entirely possible to leave racist tropes behind so it seems wrong to say that they can never change

however. the problem is that said tropes are so baked into the characters that it would definitely be hard to fix the issue. there are characters like jade that are almost the exact definition of the dragon lady stereotype, and characters like talia who used to not be a dragon lady but then her most well known arcs made her into one. there have been plenty of books that give the characters depth, and while giving a character good arcs doesnt erase racism, it still gives them something to be other than an object ig? but even then the characters are constantly changed on a dime when one writer decides not to look into their actual past and just decides to do whatever so any development they get is constantly backtracked. talia's mischaracterization is so intrinsically tied to damians backstory that its hard to do anything about it without going back in time and beating morrison to death before they can pick up a pen

so idk. i dont think its possible to fix racism with character consistency but it certainly wouldnt hurt to just let asian women have development that isnt constantly changed for the writers needs. even the characters that were just created to be a stereotype were later changed and had more nuance in more stories but it doesnt automatically fix everything. honestly i have no idea what could be done to make it better other than writers/editorial/etc just need to be aware of the stereotypes/biases in the stories they write and. not do that.

Yess!!! Like he is a dramatic gremlin, no doubts, but like…. He’s a showman through and through and he is defs a show off without even thinking about it or trying…. But thats not all he is??? ALSO!!!He’s not a slut???? Like do not get me wrong he can absolutely be a lil slutty on occasion if he wants, he can be a tease and a flirt with people he’s into or in a relationship with when he wants to…. But him in canon does not strike me as someone who would recklessly sleep around how fanon often portrays??? Like. That is not him.

He is also most definitely NOT a constant ray of sunshine???

Like yeah i think esp by time Damians around he’s defs worked through some shit and found more peace with himself but he isn’t like…. Totally cheery ball of sunshine. Like. That just straight up isnt him.

Hes got layers and in comes that little wriggly showmanship again and like. Theres a reason everyone likes to say hes the oldest daughter of the family bc like. Hes good at putting on a smile and hiding behind it when he needs to or doesnt want to let onto something.

But also he was bruces emotional support orphan. Bruce wasn’t a dad to him. Not really. Yes he trained him, reigned in his feral child side a bit, but he wasn’t a parent. They were very much a teacher/student vibe and that was about it. Like i am sure theres moments bruce did try to give parental advice and stuff but like… few and far between and defs never the way he needed it. Like no wonder dick ran away.

Like.

Ugh.

Idk maybe part of it is some projection on my end but i see so much of myself in him and it like. Physically pains me to see him get so boiled down and oversimplified.

But like i often dont like how hes written in fics where hes not one of the main characters bc they often boil him down to fanon joke like stereotypes. Like a meme. And i hate that when that happens.

Idk.

im being so serious when i ask this, but, how has dick's characterization become so opposing to his actual character? like how in the world did this pervasive and frankly invasive depiction of him become so popular? where in the world did people get these scraps of personality that they've frankensteined together to create this fucking weirdo that shakes his ass for criminals and is the biggest attention seeker? for decades we have had pretty consistent source material that continually establishes that dick is quite serious and a leader, and also someone that cares deeply for people and has the skill set and willpower to do literally anything for them. how has this fanon characterization that's quickly becoming canon happened to him?
