if yuichi's dad picked up the phone instead, complete with all the anatomy of a Bad Parent Call

original

transcript:

Arie: Jiji! Uncle Ichi's on the phone!

Jotaro: Thank you, Moon. Finally deign to call your dear old dad? How many are there? Easy? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! Whooo... Yuichi there were six of you! And not even at the same time.

The Yamada's had quadruplets two decades ago and they still aren't sleeping through the night! You were almost a twin! But you absorbed the other one. Kappa have 'em in three's though. Hope you're not having second thoughts!

Katsuchi! DAD! You're supposed to be retired!

J: oh let me have my fun Katsuichi! They're still so new they still flinch when i look at them! Except for Itadori. I'm going to enjoy breaking them.

Itadori: Thank you, sir.

Leo: Hey Hon? You doing okay over there?

ngl the "im white so i dont talk abt any characters' race ever bc im afraid of accidentally saying something racist" approach to fandom is like. very weak. imo.

like first of all: i get that "i dont incorporate race into my media analysis because i'm afraid of messing up" comes from a different place than "i don't incorporate race into my media analysis because I Don't See Race 😊 there is only The Human Race." but it has the same functional effect, right? that effect being that your analysis of [INSERT MEDIA HERE] ignores the very real way that race impacts people.

second of all: it feels kinda lazy! like ur saying "i dont know enough abt race to feel comfortable commenting on how race affects this show and i dont care enough to learn." the only way to become more comfortable discussing race is to actually practice discussing race. but when i see people saying this it feels like they're saying "i'm white, which means i don't know how to talk about race, and i don't have to know how to talk about race, and i don't ever have to know how to talk about race, so i'm choosing to never learn how to talk about race."

third of all: just because you don't openly talk about race doesn't mean you're any less likely to accidentally say or do something racist. implicit biases run deep, y'all. it's probably already there in your interpretation of the show. but the "i don't want to accidentally say something racist" implies that you are positive that your interpretation of the show isn't racist. and i'm not saying you're wrong. but i'm saying that if a person of color tells you that something you said about [INSERT MEDIA HERE] was racist, you better be prepared to actually listen and not just brush them off because "i can't be racist! i purposefully never talk about race just to make sure i'm not racist!"

which brings me to my final point: if you do accidentally say something racist... literally just apologize. if someone says you've been doing something racist, apologize and stop doing that thing. it's literally not that hard. i've done it. i've seen other people do it. "i'm scared of being called racist!" is such a weak excuse im tired of it. getting called racist is not the end of the fucking world. calm the fuck down and grow a spine. jesus.

I just wanted to make this on a whim lol

[ink-the-artist]

it would be cool to possibly see a time lapse of one of yr colored pencil pieces eventually(?) ! i am very curious about the process !

I'd love to eventually do that ive been wanting to for a while, its just more difficult with traditional bc i have to be at one spot, not move the sketchbook around too much, and just generally have the camera setup occupy part of my brain the entire time in a way i wouldnt with digital. i do have a post showing the process of a piece with photos

u dumb asl if u think geto couldn't have been saved had the people around him noticed his mental health declining during that year between the riko incident and his breakdown and helped with his trauma. ur dumb asl too if u think he'd be strictly opposed to having children especially his nurturing and caring younger self. and ur beyond dumb if u think he didn't gaf about his adopted daughters whom he loved with all his might. ijbol

Wrong about me being dumb asf three times actually :)

1. The whole point of Geto killing his village and breaking away from Gojo is because he chose to do this for his ideals. He didn’t just wake up and decided to kill people, he was already a person who could do that, he was just given information (from Yuki) that he already subconsciously knew. It’s also a vital lesson for Gojo to realize you can’t save people who don’t want to be saved. Geto willingly did all of this and didn’t bat an eye, he knew what he was doing and he did it with pleasure. There was no changing his mind = no saving him.

2. Never said he’d be strictly opposed to it, but I am tired of the fandom constantly mischaracterizing him into making him only this “nurturing and kind person”. Because he’s not. Was he nice? Absolutely. But Geto’s dynamic with Gojo would not work as well if he was such a caring and nurturing person. He has many screws loose, which is why he could keep up with Gojo so well - he had many loose as well. To be a surviving jujutsu sorcerer you have to be incredibly unhinged.

3. He didn’t love these kids with all his might really. He may have cared for them in his own twisted way, but if he saw them be killed by Sukuna he would not be nearly as angry as you may think. The fact is, he saved those girls not out of the goodness of his own heart but because he snapped from how horrible non jujutsu sorcerers are. Nanako and Mimiko saw him as a savior. To them, he could do no wrong, it was an incredibly unhealthy servitude. They were unfortunately, still people he could dispose of if it truly came to that. In his lifetime it didn’t, but he never taught them anything other than serving him, they were broken children in need of genuine love and support. All Geto taught them was that killing was right. He was not a “good father” nor did he love these girls as his own children. He’s a genocidal racist, I promise you he wasn’t reading them bedtime stories and making sandwiches for their lunch.

In one of the 647968 posts going "What You Like Says Nothing About You" (broadly agree) the first comment in the reply section was, "well I'm never going to apologize for being a Swiftie and a Reylo and Destiel shipper and Snape fan and loving ACOTAR and LOTR and Hamilton and B99" and I'm like, actually being this much of a pathological white liberal makes you the exception to this rule 😭😭

racism isn't funny when it's against actual social minorities but i'm sorry, very little will ever be funnier to me than people being racist against white people. i swear, every time i hear someone get called a cracker or a honky a few years get added to my life. this goes doubly so against white people who are Weird about "not really being white", like i'm sorry italians but you've been considered white for about as long as you've been the inventors of fascism, i'm gonna make fun of your pasty pizza pasta asses until the day i die

antifeminism is so exhausting to me

ppl who only conditionally care about child abuse based on whether the victim makes them uncomfy while they're being abused contribute to a real life child's abuse by sending hate asks regularly, attempting to gaslight them, calling them terrible names, accusing them of terrible things, telling them directly how much they hate the characters the child relates to and enjoys talking about, and being generally racist and ableist in a way that seriously might have scarred me for life, making a literal teenager hate their hobbies, favorite shows, and the people who enjoy those things, and ultimately cyberbullying a child out of multiple fandoms because they don't want to think critically or acknowledge their own faults, all while being 35 and really embarrassing themselves because someone half their age has a better grasp on the concept of nuance than them: more at 6

but noooo, y'all "love neurodivergent/disabled people," have "racists/ableists DNI" in your bios, and don't say slurs, which is all you have to do to not be racist/ableist, so *I'm* some psycho black bitch and you're a wittle angel like the fictional character you infantilize

(P.S. I swear to fucking god if people respond to this post with "but he sexually assaulted someone" and ignore literally every other personality trait/experience he had that could've been relatable to a child abuse survivor and the way people mistreated me, a real human being, which Charlie is not by the way, I will start doing the things you wanted to do to Ben)

idk about anyone else but for me /personally/ assigning any of the wof dragon tribes a single equivalent human culture or accent feels kind of weird or off. Unless you’re like. Specifically from that culture and know what you’re interpreting

like sure the ‘nightwings are British because they’re voiced that way in the audiobooks’ is funny at first but I once saw a post break down the accents by tribe and assign sandwings a Nigerian accent. Which IMMEDIATELY makes the fact that they’re commonly rogues and thieves in the story not a fun cowboy thing but a vaguely racist thing suggesting that all Nigerian people scam and steal, which. Given the ‘Nigerian prince’ thing is already a stereotype, well…-

and it definitely isn’t JUST that, I’m not trying to call a single person out. But these kind of 1-1 correlations lead to results like this 9/10 times and it just feels strange. Just mix stuff together. Mash ideas from different places into one. Don’t make the dragons a 1-1 parallel to a specific human culture because then any story you tell that may connect to a stereotype of that culture will come off really, really bad

Heyyyy guys, it's time for Tumblr to gaslight you into thinking you're a bad person because you don't like rap music! All the while pretending it likes it!

Forever annoyed that "don't speak over marginalized people", the notion that marginalized people are already spoken over, and their oppressors need to actually listen and learn before speaking about complicated topics and need to do so in support of not OVER them, so quickly turned into "I'm not x so I can't speak on x issues". Like the "don't speak on this if you're not this" started out so well meaning because it was about people needing to actually take the time to learn before talking about issues they didn't previously understand! Now it's just an excuse for people to never learn about the issues minorities face or to actually stand up for them in any meaningful way

Being bilingual sometimes sucks bc I remember a while ago I wanted to write this reinochi fic where there’s was this visual gag of sorts that only worked in Spanish but lost all meaning in English and bro that’s painful

The gag in itself was based on this saying we have in Spanish, its literal translation being “put the batteries on” but in a more localized sense it would be the equivalent of “get it together” and yeh the thing went with Rei giving Tobi a box filled with batteries which ofc makes sense in Spanish bc of the way the saying goes while in English it just feels weird and awkward…ofc as you know I write all my fics in Spanish first and then translate them to English I usually try to find a way to make it work but I couldn’t in this case so I had to drop the whole idea 😭😭😭

Reminds me of that one mistletoe fic I wrote years ago where I managed to make it work however the ending had a different context in each version…if you read that you know that by the end Tobi punches Rei bc he mispronounces the word mistletoe (dumbass)… in Spanish the word for mistletoe “muérdago” sounds very similar to the word “muérgano” which can be used to describe a person that is useless, rude or has bad manners/is not well behaved while in English I used the word “mistlefoe” that I’m sure it’s not a real word but I saw it in a meme and for all intent and purposes worked for the story LMAO so yeh the differences in the ending are that in Spanish he hits Rei bc he thinks you are supposed to hit unpleasant people under the mistletoe while in English he hits Rei bc he thinks you are supposed to fight people under the mistletoe…

Translating is really fun for things like these when you make it work but when you can’t it kinda sucks…..the battery gag was so good I’m sad I can’t use it
