Thoughts on the “offu” moment

I feel like a lot of people interpret this as a confession that Saiki feels more for Teruhashi, but to me, it’s confusing. Personally, I think he only said “offu” because Teruhashi realized that Saiki likes people who stay true to themselves, and believed that’s how she would eventually win him over. But doesn’t this actually describe Aiura more?

Yes, Aiura did try out Teruhashi’s style, but not just because she thought Saiki would like it. She genuinely seemed to admire and enjoy that style, even outside of her usual Gyaru appearance. To me, it seemed more like a fun experiment while also trying to catch Saiki’s attention. On the other hand, Teruhashi seemed to do it only because in that moment she was convinced that was the only way Saiki would like her back. I don’t think she genuinely enjoyed that style—especially since she struggled adopting different mannerisms, like speaking differently, to fit the part.

From my perspective, I interpreted the “offu” moment as a reassurance that Aiura is more Saiki’s type. She’s genuine and isn’t afraid to be her authentic self. She’s always ready to help others out of true kindness, not just to maintain a perfect persona. Plus, she’s not afraid to stand up for herself and speak her mind—remember her first words to Toritsuka: “Go away, creep.” Or something in that trend lol. Genuine kindness is something we’ve seen Saiki admire in Hairo as well.

I like a lot of Saiki ships, but for some reason, I just can’t get into TeruSai. I’ve really tried to see it, it being the main ship and all, but I can’t imagine them having a healthy romantic relationship, unless Teruhashi one day decides to let go of her need to be perfect and embraces her genuine self—even if it means people wouldn’t like her as much. I do think she’s had some development, but even at the end of the manga, she still sees herself as better than others. She says something like, “God would never allow a meteor to fall on me” girl, what about everyone else? afagshshs

I don’t know… I don’t blame her for being that way, since she’s been seen as the perfect, pretty girl her whole life, so it’s understandable that it would go to her head. But understanding it doesn’t excuse it. She has a lot of funny moments, and I do like her as a character, but for Saiki, I just can’t get into this ship. When Saiki was being playful and fun at the mall, she seemed genuinely disappointed—but wasn’t that when he was being the most authentic? I don’t know, this post is getting too long now haha. Feel free to share your insights. Thanks for reading :)

Okay so apparently kids these days don't know how to be safe online because their parents are fucking stupid and don't know anything about the internet!!!

So I'm gonna tell you teenagers how to be safe and not get abused because there is no shortage of predators on the internet. I'm gonna go from super basic things you can do to keep yourself safe to more specific instances where a predator may be trying to groom you that you can recognize. Remember though; if you are abused or have been abused it is not your fault. You deserve protection and you deserve respect as a minor, regardless of how you spend your time on the internet. Victim blaming helps nobody but predators, but there are ways you can protect yourself, even though you shouldn't always have to.

Basic tips:

DO NOT SHARE YOUR REAL NAME

DO NOT SHARE YOUR AGE

DO NOT SHARE WHERE YOU LIVE

DO NOT SHARE PHOTOS OR VIDEOS OF YOURSELF

DO NOT SHARE PHOTOS OF YOUR HOUSE

IT IS OKAY TO BLOCK WHOEVER YOU WANT, WHENEVER YOU WANT, REGARDLESS OF THE REASON.

Don't sacrifice your safety, comfort, or peace of mind just for someone else's feelings! Especially a stranger! Also, if you think something is off, it probably is. You need to trust your gut. SPEAK UP! Tell a trusted friend, sibling, or adult! I'm sure you've heard the phrase "silence is violence" -- this phrase goes for abuse as well! Unsafe people want you to stay quiet so they can continue to harm you or others. It is not inherently problematic to have friends who are adults, in fact it is healthy and helpful to have friends who are older than you, however we live in a world where you cannot trust many adults, so you need to be cautious of adults you encounter at all times, including ones you know well or are well known by others. It is also not inherently problematic to be asked many of the questions above, but it is important to ask yourself whether or not you want to give that information to the person asking. If not, simply tell them that you do not give out that information and redirect the conversation, or block if you feel uncomfortable.

MOST IMPORTANTLY, DO NOT INSERT YOURSELF INTO ADULT SPACES.

I know it is tempting, especially with the way hormones effect judgement and your emotions, and we all want to be included, but inserting yourself into spaces you know you should not be by lying about your age is incredibly unsafe and leads to horrible situations that aren't always easy to get out of. This includes adult fandom spaces, websites, searching adult topics, NSFW blogs or accounts, and even group chats. Even if your friends invite you to these spaces, it does not mean you should neglect your safety to be accepted. It's okay and encouraged to say no. You will thank yourself when you get older!

More Specific Tips:

YOU SHOULDN'T PUT YOUR MENTAL ILLNESSES OR DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES IN YOUR BIOS ON YOUR ACCOUNTS.

Awareness and solidarity for mental illness and disabilities is very important, however predators are more likely to go after people who may have a more difficult time discerning what is normal and what is not in social situations, especially when speaking to an authority figure like an adult. Do not make yourself a target by listing the ways you struggle with social cues, understanding rules and safety, or communication. It is okay to seek solidarity, but there are predators seeking out disabled and mentally ill youths to abuse.

DO NOT OFFER INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR SCHOOL ON THE INTERNET.

It is dangerous to release information about your whereabouts in any capacity on the internet, especially your school where you are doubly putting your peers and classmates in danger as well. If you come into contact or into the orbit of a predator that is bent on finding you or meeting you, your school is a public place where one may feel brazen enough to pretend they know you. Even if other kids are doing it by posting fight videos or even innocent videos, doesn't mean you should.

JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE INSISTS THEY'RE A SAFE PERSON DOES NOT MEAN THAT THEY ARE.

People lie on the internet all the time, including in some really bizarre and meaningless ways, but there will always be people who lie to get closer to someone to make them a victim. Just because someone tells you they are against abuse or even if they advocate against it does not mean that they themselves are a safe person. Predators will do anything they can to get you to trust them, and while predators are usually very pushy and want things to go quickly, some will take their time to groom you.

!!!!BIG RED FLAGS!!!!

IF YOU SEE ANY OF THIS BEHAVIOR, RUN! BLOCK AND REPORT PEOPLE WHO DO THESE THINGS FOR YOUR SAFETY! IT'S NEVER WORTH STICKING AROUND THESE KINDS OF PEOPLE!

THEY CONTINUALLY SEND YOU SEXUALLY EXPLICIT MATERIAL, INCLUDING FANART, FANFIC, AND VIDEOS.

THEY TELL YOU AGE IS JUST A NUMBER, OR LOVE HAS NO AGE.

THEY EXPRESS THE OPINION THAT MINORS CAN CONSENT TO SEXUAL ACTIVITY.

THEY CONSTANTLY MAKE "JOKES" ABOUT MINORS IN A SEXUAL WAY OR ABOUT BEING ATTRACTED TO MINORS.

THEY EMPHASIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING "LEGAL" AT THE AGE OF 18 OR FIXATE ON AGE OF CONSENT LAWS.

THEY GET ANGRY AT YOU FOR SETTING A BOUNDARY OR IF YOU MENTION TELLING YOUR PARENTS.

THEY ENJOY "LOLI" OR "SHOTA" MATERIAL OR ENTHUSE ABOUT THOSE TYPES OF CHARACTERS.

THEY CALL YOU PET NAMES THAT YOU AREN'T COMFORTABLE WITH, EVEN WHEN YOU TELL THEM NOT TO.

THEY ASK YOU HIGHLY PERSONAL QUESTIONS ABOUT SEXUAL ACTIVITY, YOUR PERIODS, OR MASTURBATION.

THEY TELL YOU THAT YOU'RE MATURE FOR YOUR AGE, OR THAT YOU'RE NOT LIKE OTHER KIDS BECAUSE YOU'RE MORE ADULT THAN THEY ARE.

THEY ASK YOU TO SEND PHOTOS OR VIDEOS OF YOURSELF DOING SEXUALLY CHARGED THINGS, WHICH INCLUDES DANCING OR STRIPPING, OR SPECIFIC PARTS OF YOUR BODY.

THEY KEEP STEERING THE CONVERSATION IN A SEXUAL DIRECTION. THIS INCLUDES ROLEPLAY!

NONE OF THIS BEHAVIOR IS NORMAL. IT IS NOT NORMAL FOR AN ADULT TO ASK HIGHLY PERVASIVE QUESTIONS OR TO BECOME PUSHY OR ANGRY IF YOU EXPRESS DISCOMFORT. BLOCK AND REPORT THESE TYPE OF PEOPLE, THEY EXHIBIT BEHAVIOR CONSISTENT WITH SEXUAL ABUSE PATTERNS.

Adults and Minors alike please feel free to reblog. It is imperative that young people who don't know these things learn them, because the only thing a predator hates more than a jail cell is a minor who cannot be abused.

What's stopping the possibility of a ceasefire is pretty simple. Hamas is holding 239 Israeli civilians hostage including children and the elderly. What's happening in Palestine is a travesty and horrendous. But Israel can't initiate a ceasefire from the position they're in, so we need to be agitating for Hamas to release the hostages and call for a ceasefire instead.

NO GENOCIDE IS JUSTIFIABLE

HOW DOES THE KILLING OF INNOCENT PEOPLE ON THIS EXTREME LEVEL FORCE HAMAS TO RETURN HOSTAGES??

ISRAEL'S BOMBARDMENT AND INDISCRIMINATE SHOOTING IN GAZA THREATEN EVERYONE THERE INCLUDING DOCTORS JOURNALISTS CHILDREN ENTIRE FAMILIES AND THE HOSTAGES

EVERYONE IS TARGETED

YOU HAVE HOSPITALS BOMBED HOW ANY OF THIS IS JUSTIFIED

As someone who stalks the Avatar a03 page every day, I want my modern day high school au with Spider. Every modern day high school au is distinctly lacking him, where is my boy next door who is neglected by his foster parents being integrated slowly into the family he’s been friends with since he was little. Maybe they live in an area with fewer kids because it’s the only place with homes accessible for Jake so all the kids are super close and obsessed with Spider bc omg another kid to play with, only old people live here. And Jake and Neytiri always like pls stay for meals cause they aren’t sure anyone is feeding that kid, and he’s a stray cat they found and are trying to tempt back with food and pets.

Also, where is my role reversal metkayina travel to the omaticaya for sanctuary this time fic BUT FOR REAL. Like all of you writing those are ignoring the real comedy and drama in this. Humans destroyed their home and they’re running for safety from the gUYS WITH HUMANS?? Jake being like wait you want to stay here? With us? The human guys, human friends og? Like ur telling me RONAL isn’t gonna judge the shit out of all the humans just casually being around. Give me the comedy of Spider teaching them how to climb trees and shit and they’re like you’re human you can’t teach me anything and he fucking spidermans up there in record time like you were saying. Give me Ao’nung being pissed at Spider being their teacher and Lo’ak and Kiri are defensive but Spider is very understanding because he gets not fitting in and not being made for this. GIVE ME UR SILLY FICS BUT LET ME HAVE SPIDER IN THEM.

I’ve been posting about this stuff for a while, so let me clarify my stance on fictional depictions of school shootings:

While I’m occasionally bitten by the true crime bug, I will never post about my research here or anywhere. I’m not interested in contributing to the woobification of any real life murderers, even by accident.

This is a blog for all of my interests, including movies. I find it really fascinating to compare the way a topic as loaded as school shootings would be depicted differently over time based on a shifting cultural landscape. I’m working on a monster of a google doc on the topic, so naturally that interest will be represented on this blog.

I’m not in the business of telling people not to interact, especially as I’m trying to build hype for a lost film!! Whatever attracted you to my blog, I’m glad we have something in common :) however, I do ask that you interact with my posts in a way that’s respectful to victims of gun violence (no one has crossed that line yet! You’ve all been very kind! I just want to say something sooner rather than later).

I’m so happy to have at least a few people excited about American Yearbook!!! Please spread the word, I guarantee this flick has an audience in 2024!

Edit: I would like to contribute to the woobification of Luigi Mangione. You have permission to disrespect Brian Thompson on my posts. This is not about the claim adjuster, this is about douchebag teenagers shooting their peers.

I just saw a post criticizing Last Wish for how it handled Puss and Kitty’s relationship along with both of their characters as a whole, and I wanted to express my feelings in a way unattached from the post.

Spoilers below!

(I wanna, of course, say everyone can have their opinions, I just wanted to indirectly respond to some critiques I saw of the movie!)

First off, the OP mentioned how the movie made Kitty a feminist and ultimately prioritized her development, actions, and strengths, over Puss’s, which I disagree with.

The scene they specifically mentioned was when they were escaping Jack Horner’s factory, and Puss got his beard stuck.

Which, of course, Puss got stuck there. He was paying attention to Kitty beating people up? And he wasn’t belittled in the process of the fight. They both made it out, and Kitty was the one with the map since she has her soft paws and could easily take it from Puss. This was established with their dynamic in the first movie as something she could easily trick him with.

Throughout the rest of the movie, especially after they work out their conflict about Santa Coloma, they work as equals. Kitty even plays with the idea of sharing the wish with Puss because she TRUSTS him. It’s a mutual thing, as she believes he has changed enough to earn her trust, which we see he has. The gatito blade isn’t given to Puss as an insult or as a blow to his masculinity, but it’s almost like an olive branch. Kitty sees if she can truly trust him with something of hers again, and it ends up being what saves Puss’s life.

Second, OP talked about how Puss’s character was generic and that he was a Flanderization of a character obsessing over the fact they are “a legend soon to be forgotten.”

This was the take I had the most issues with, and it's kinda what pushed me to make this post 😬. Puss struggled with his identity as a legend because it was what caused him to die every single time. He had no value for his life because he believed that he was untouchable. It’s what the Fearless Hero song is about. “Puss isn’t afraid. He’s never been touched by a blade.” All of these things happen in the movie because nobody is invincible. Heroes have panic attacks and face death, and through Kitty and Perrito, Puss was able to learn that his life was valuable. While the message itself is relatable for some, it should be, because learning to value life and the people in it is SO IMPORTANT.

Anyway.

The final thing I wanna address was how OP said Puss and Kitty’s relationship changed and Kitty was OOC.

First, it only makes sense that Puss and Kitty would have a different relationship than the original Puss in Boots movie since that was YEARS prior to this one. With that much of a time difference, the characters have room to change for better or worse.

As for Kitty’s attitude toward Puss, it is totally justified. To bring back Santa Coloma, when the pair first meet again, it is obvious that there is tension between them because of what happened at the church, and Kitty has every reason to poke at him because he left her there. I think it’s totally in her nature to use her one chance to make fun of Puss in its entirety.

Even if their getting married could be argued as an out-of-character action for the pair (even though I think their relationship absolutely could have led there.) Kitty knew deep down that Puss was too self-absorbed with his legend status to be able to fit her in his life alongside it. Puss’s regret for leaving her also shows his ego wall coming down because he wanted to be with her and not walk alone any longer.

That feeling where you want to read fanfiction of a certain fandom but everything just feels badly written, all the characters are ooc, they talk weird and people use both "Char A & Char B" and "Char A/Char B" tags on the same fic 🙃
