Being in the UK sucks cos you see all these other countries making progress or debating key topics or at least doing something of importance and then you turn on the news and it's like "Economy Sucks: PM blames refugees and transgenders" or "The King sharted extra loud this morning, Here's what that says about his leadership talent"
#uk politics#transblr#It's not even that our politics are right wing#loads of countries deal with that#it's just that it's like everyone's a literal schoolboy#We never seem to confront any real issues#and when we do it's blamed on Refugees or some shit

Ngl the more I rewatch race to the edge the more I fall out of love with it.
Trader Johann is just a blatant antisemitic stereotype, Astrid has literally no episodes that aren't also centered around Hiccup in some way (misogynistic writing), the Wing Maidens being a cannibalistic tribe that are referred to as 'native women' more than once, that episode where Dagur literally says a slur (esk*mo), which I've never seen anyone talk about??? And more honestly.
It's really disheartening considering httyd is my special interest and rtte offers some really great worldbuilding and development, but then again it's to be expected. After all if you're not white you can't ever fully enjoy anything without looking the other way on racist some kind aspects whether it be the story's harmful writing or actions of people involved in its making, there's always something.
#rtte#watch this get liked instead of reblogged bc ppl want to be polite without actually confronting racism in their fav stories lmao#idc about putting this under the main tag bc im not bashing the show its these are just objective issues with it#how to train your dragon#httyd#race to the edge#dagur the deranged#astrid hofferson#trader johann#also smth im genuinely curios of is how much of the fandoms white bc i rarely see this shit talked abt#(then again when it is its rarely reblogged.)#moth.txt#deyas dragons

Just remembered that Will sat on the icebox in the van for the 30 hr ride back to Hawkins
#byler#stranger things#that willelmike dynamic in the van after the monologue needs to be studied under a microscope#like why couldn’t we see the aftermath of his monologue???#what happened??#when will sat on the icebox did el and mike look confused??#did they offer to leave room for him to sit there but he declined politely like no that’s okay…#followed by the next 30 hrs of awkward#I know the vibes were OFF#that’s the reason they only let us be confronted with them by the time they arrived in Hawkins#they needed to shift the mood to confusion about Hawkins’ state#bc they could not reveal what the vibes were like before that#no but the prospects of el hugging all of them after saving max#and it’s like emotional and they’re all so relieved she’s alive#but then shortly after that when they’re planning going back to Hawkins#she’s distant again#maybe it’s with everyone so they just brush it off as her needing time to process everything#but it’s still suspicious because…#why are things with her and mike still feeling very off#and then that’s when they’re getting into the van and then will just adds to the awkwardness even more by sitting on the icebox 😭#I also noticed 2 pillows on the backseat so it’s likely that’s where byler slept in s4 during their shenanigans#so I’m guessing that where el and mike slept while Will slept on the floor 😭#no but seriously they could not show any of that without giving it all away#the angst and heartbreak and confusion and regret would have been so loud 😅

You can't just have Elton John sing lyrics like "oath of silence for the voice of a generation" and "you are what you love not who loves you" and expect me not to get emotional.
#fall out boy#patrick stump#elton john#pete wentz#joe trohman#andy hurley#they knew what they were doing#i like elton johns music a lot but his importance to queer culture and culture at large can not be overstated#he is the voice of generation#a generation that was brutally taken from us#sure they were killed by a disease but don't tell me that political inaction born of homophobia didn't also kill those people#do I think hating one political figure shows a good understanding of politics? no the system was and is more complex than that and always#has been but Regan does make a good case for himself#after years of inaction with lots of people dying of aids when he finally was forced to confront this#you know whom he appointed?#a catholic navy admiral#that man knew nothing of disease and how they spread#but history bit regan in his ass because Watkins actually did a great job and really got stuff done and advocated for queer people

Gonna be real. I know I’m super biased in saying this but I genuinely think it’s more conducive to the story’s message and themes if Thistle is still alive after the end of the manga. Like.
There’s all these examples of characters talking about how love and support from those who matter most to you is what can allow you to heal despite experiencing immense trauma. Themes of life and death and rebirth in both a physical and metaphysical sense. I just think it’s so much more satisfying for Thistle to get that, too, more so than the tragedy of him dying. You could say that him not getting that chance is just how things go sometimes, but in a series all about defying fate and walking the more difficult but fulfilling path (after all, recovery and facing the reality of it all certainly wouldn’t be easy) I would argue that him living serves the narrative much better.
#polly speaks#dungeon meshi#dunmeshi#dungeon meshi spoilers#delicious in dungeon#thistle dungeon meshi#dungeon meta#thistle posting#Also he should live bc I LIKE HIM HES MY LITTLE GUY <- very biased#idk I don’t and have never liked ‘they’re too broken to live’ plots and dungeon meshi doesn’t seem to either lol#Plus again this is way more angsty then him just dying at the end of the manga could ever be.#The lengthy recovery. the political turmoil. the reactions from the golden kingdom villagers he menaced for a thousand years. actually#confronting the reality of how he was treated and how his own brother wanted him dead. So much potential just so much

Political post ahead, and given this is a site that is (I would say) dominantly Democratic/left/"woke," if you don't want to read commentary from a Republican/conservative/"traditionalist," I completely understand, but this is your warning.
Just dropped (albeit somewhat accidentally) into a Tumblr community about Animation, and what should I see than the first several posts being about the US election and about saying Fie upon Donald Trump. And while I genuinely feel for people who have legitimate fear over him taking up the US Presidency, I also find myself a little bit baffled to see people think the world is going to spontaneously combust if he takes office again.
Yes, I will have my own share of concern if Kamala Harris takes office, and while I don't expect things to get any better than they were under the Biden administration, I'm also not screaming-crying-throwing up over the idea. It makes me uncomfortable, but only because her ideology differs from mine, and it's difficult to be comfortable with things we don't agree with.
Long story short, I genuinely wish peace upon anyone, on any part of the political spectrum, who is facing extreme anxiety over the outcome of the election. I also hope you take a breath and realize it's not the end of the world. Please do yourself that service. You're worth the peace, baberino 🙏
#Now of course I have some very strong feelings and opinions on this whole situation that are not articulated here#But it's going to help absolutely no one to be confrontational#Myself included#But frankly#Even though his record isn't sparkling#I would rather have a president who isn't part of the political machine (or isn't blatantly involved in it)#US election#Republican#Pro Republican#Pro Conservative#Traditional values#US elections#Politics#US Politics#Election 2024

Anybody interested in the moralization of desire and porn, desirability politics, or just any text that confronts popular narratives of sex and porn and deconstructs them in an easily digestible way should read a right to sex by amia srinivasan
#there's a chapter where she talks about how desire SHOULD be free from moral authoritarianism#but nobody ever wants to confront the question of how our desires are formulated#which is both contradictory and not#also why I refrain from partaking in dark content discourse on here it's always so [redacted] which isn't exactly bad#im not exactly expecting in depth dialectic convos about that here#and she also talks about how feminism often reduces sex positivity to consent#except that runs the risk of reinforcing desirability politics#anyway excellent read everyone even the slightest bit interested in the intersection of law policy feminism and sex should read !#I did not explain this well lol#mt

2024 reads / storygraph
The Sword of Kaigen
standalone fantasy set in a rural mountain village at the edge of an empire that still holds traditional values, with families of powerful water/ice magic warriors
follows a powerful young heir who begins to question his beliefs about the empire when a new boy comes to his village from the city
and his mother, a housewife who has tried to forget her youth as a warrior and vigilante in the city since she moved back home to a loveless marriage
when there’s a violent attack on their village that they’re unprepared for, everything changes, and she has to embrace her old skills to protect her family and people
#The Sword of Kaigen#aroaessidhe 2024 reads#I’ve been meaning to read this for years and I finally got around to it! a really unique fantasy novel#I had always assumed this was ur average pre-industrial high fantasy and then was immediately hit with video games/tv in the first chapter#lmao. But overall (aside from the broader worldbuilding/politics) it is closer to the average ‘historical’ fantasy narrative -#so I can see why I got that impression#Some really compelling characters and interesting narrative structure that went in some unexpected directions.#It really focuses in on one village and how devastating a single battle in a war can be to their people - and how much work the recovery is#I feel like most sff is more concerned with a single person and/or the whole war so this felt unique. did also mean that the pacing was odd#- it's a slow start; then there’s a battle that must be hundreds of pages. The last section of the book feels a little too drawn out#and brings up random hanging plot elements that don’t really go anywhere. But I think overall this works for the story.#also one thing I didn’t love - cool complex interesting female character MC sure but also there’s weird moments like:#the first scene we see her is all the housewives comparing their attractiveness; she keeps referring to herself as an old woman (when she’s#and oh so meek and useless etc. And some of this feels like it’s part of the broader portrayal of the misogynist society#but some of it felt clunky or unintentional?#And then especially the end - when she and her shitty husband finally confront each other as equals and he apologises#she basically immediately forgives him and is like oh I was equally at fault because I am a meek woman who didn’t try either#like him realising he was wrong (and her realising he had a reason for being the way he was) doesn’t negate the fact that he treated her li#she acts like it was her fault for not trying too - when we have numerous examples of him berating her if she spoke up about anything?#like im glad he’s learning. but also that doesn’t mean she needs to suddenly forgive and love him wtf#that's the only real thing that annoyed me though.#also btw that 5yo seems kinda fucked up. are you guys gonna do anything about that

fighting for my life trying to navigate honorific use in kinnporsche bodyguard fics because so much of what is canon/word of god feels so weird djdjhdfj
the bodyguards are minor enough characters that for some of them you never specifically see what honorifics they use for one another on-screen. all of the (non-Chan) bodyguards we do see in canon use 'ai' for one another, so you'd expect that this would just be the case for all of them - BUT in their character story interview, Nodt says that he and Perth referred to each other as "ai'Ken" and "P'Big" while on set, and multiple BTS clips and interviews confirm that Perth/Ken does always seems to use 'Phi' for Big.
so... all of the bodyguards use 'ai' for one another, except for Ken, who is inexplicably polite to Big and Big alone.
afaik the only time we see a bodyguard need to use an honorific for Chan is in episode 6, where Arm refers to him as "P'Chan".
and sure! this makes sense. he's more polite to the senior bodyguard than he is to the others, but not as polite as he is to Kinn ("Khun Kinn") or Tankhun ("Khun-nu Tankhun"). but then in the behind the scenes video for this episode, Perth, while speaking as Ken, says "I'm here with P'Big, Arm, and Khun Chan". 'Phi' for Big, no honorific for Arm, 'Khun' for Chan.
so. aaaaa. what is the truth?! Perth. Perth bestie. you specifically are the problem here. EXPLAIN YOURSELF. please.
EITHER this is Perth (not Ken) overcorrecting and being more polite than he needs to be (which is not uncommon for people speaking second languages), and if Ken had spoken about Big or Chan in the show he'd have used 'ai' for Big and Arm and 'Phi' for Chan.
OR this is just. idk. canon. Ken is polite to Big exclusively, and then different bodyguards just are different levels of polite/formal towards Chan.
maybe this actually makes some sense? Chan canonically uses different honorifics for different bodyguards - some of them he refers to with 'ai' ("ai'Pete" in episode 6, when talking to Korn), and some of them he uses no honorifics for (just "Porsche" and "Big" in the first couple of episodes).
but also, it's weird. it feels wrong. using "P'Big" in a fic would feel jarring. but also I like it. it's cute. but what is the TRUTH.
#dfhjfdfjdfj there is no conclusion to this post. just something that trips me up every time#i don't tend to write out 'ai' honorifics in my fics but i DO write out 'khun' and 'phi'.#i like them.#anyway this is just me rambling. this is not a Real Linguistics Post.#oh. btw:#'ai' -> very informal honorific that is rude/confrontational unless used between good friends#using no honorific -> fine if referring to friends or someone younger/lower status than you but rude for elders or those of higher status#'phi' -> polite but friendly honorific used to refer to someone older than you#'khun' -> polite and formal honorific similar to 'mr/mrs' used to show respect.#kinnporsche#darcey.txt

i hope everyone is safe right now. i hope for your safety. i am so sincere. everyday i’m aware of what i have to do to make sure i’m accomplishing what i’m capable of so that you’re safe. at the end of a shift i make sure my coworkers get into their cars safely, i call my friends to make sure they’re alright because i’m not there to watch them, i wear whatever i can to make sure that my political standings are clear to anyone who decides to look at me so they can know that resistance exists and i will confront them if they’ve got the balls to tell me they have a problem, i am keeping an ear out for local protests and any boycotts i can participate in, im texting and calling and emailing any politician of any kind that i come across because even something like tiktok makes it so easy for me to get prompts that i can fill out or follow along to. sometimes it’s as easy as making noise or walking someone to their car or annoying your local representation or wearing pins on the front of your shirt. resist. and stay alive.
#i’ve always been confrontational and i’ve already had to call out or stand up to people for what they’ve said to me since the results of#the election.#i am no stranger to conflict over this. i’ve cut my family off for horrible shit they’ve said back during obama’s run. i’ve started fights#over their bigotry for years of my life. i will always be loud i will always be confrontational about this#and it makes me sick to call this ‘politics’ when it’s not even. it’s not some difference of opinion. it’s not preferences. it’s humanity#i’ve been sick to my stomach over what this will do to people. to the environment and to your homes.#indy overshares#tw election
