#she's respectful at least???? I guess???

My thoughts here mainly revolve around YSA as the mary sue/female lead type character:

She goes from being this perfect woman to. just being a woman. And my idea is that the weight gain isn't there to make her "unconventionally attractive," or whatever other dumb phrase you wanna use to avoid calling someone ugly, but to make her conventionally attractive, yet realistic.

Instead of looking like a skinny waifu character, she looks like a skinny human woman. Her hair swaying in the nonexistent wind isn't as perfect, her magic blush is missing and she has eyebags. She's still hot, just more human.

And on another note, I've always seen Luka as a reclusive type, but I didn't think he was outright ignored by his peers, (<- I assumed he always had the magic of charm. But now that I think of it, influence and money got him there, not his actual personality) In contrast to HyunA, it's less surprising because she's so charismatic, a lot of people must like and look up to her.

also, the insight into Luka's relationship with food in this comic. It's a natural feeling, when we're hungry, we want to eat. But even Luka's diet is being micromanaged, so his penchant to mouth at things doesn't feel like immaturity to me anymore, that was most likely a self-soothing method, the stimulation of it might ease the pain of starving all day. It shows how controlled he is, Luka is always wanting things he can't have, he's always starving for something, a feeling.

The thing about fem! Yuu, is that I do genuinely think she’d be treated a bit differently than her male and gn counterparts, not in a weird way though ofc, just that some characters would treat her differently. Like, Leona is obviously going to be a bit more respectful to her, or maybe Deuce wouldn’t know how to talk to her at first. After a couple of weeks or maybe a month I think they’d just. Forget that she was a girl and start treating her the same regardless. Idk, there would be slight differences but nothing that’s like. Weird or anything. Because NRC is an all boys school so fem! Yuu would be even more of an “outcast” for lack of a better word, but that’d be gone in a month

In response to criticism of how she broke them up Fitzmartin said that Tim and Steph always had a volatile relationship and broke up like every two issues and wasn't perfect. What do you think of this defence?

I think that's untrue and betrays that she doesn't really know anything about them lol.

I'm pretty certain they never actually broke up. Like properly.

They had moments of not speaking, mainly after Bruce revealed Tim's ID to Steph and when Steph became Robin bc they were already planning on killing her off, and there were certainly misunderstandings in the relationship at times but most of that can be explained by normal teenage stupidity and Bruce hanging over them.

The only times they weren't together was after Steph died and came back because, well, she had DIED, but I think that version of them got back together during Convergence, in the N52 before that bc Steph literally just did not exist at first, and when Tim "died".

Timsteph certainly weren't perfect. I mean, Dixon was writing them, that's almost enough said. And the relationship was volatile at times because they were both stubborn, passionate children with occasionally clashing view points, so there's some points in their relationship where a break-up would have made sense.

The version of them we had in 2021, coming off of Tynion's 'Tec and Bendis' Young Justice, though, was not at such a point. Tim was, like, disgustingly in love with Steph before UL, lol.

ive been revamping some old headworld Tenebres OCs of mine recently :) their little story revolves around a prestigious magic school that outcasts all of them in different ways.

ethel and juneau (the older ladies) were both once professors and colleagues. ethel taught potionmaking (she’s unsurprisingly a marvelous cook) and juneau excelled everything about in curses (very big on puzzles). juneau was disapproved of for her unconventional methods when it came to cursebreaking which mostly involved inflicting herself with the curses she was trying to break. through enough exposure to that practice in addition to likely a few curses she could never resolve, she now sometimes turns into a mindless beast. consequently shes a risk to students so she got kicked out. after getting fired she takes up being a plague doctor as an occupation which involves cleaning up magic breaches in addition to the stuff shes already good at which is curse removals, just without the funding of her school. its a pretty isolated job so whenever her monsterous side comes out, there arent too many people at risk. she lives in a lil unkempt hermit shack.

ethel was a bit more “by the book,” more of a rule follower, tended never to deviate from standard practice. she never liked or respected juneau and was rather relieved when she finally left, thinking her colleague to be quite the liability to the school. ethel’s field of magic in potions comes with its own different yet similar risks however. and while experimenting with some of her own new concoctions, something went wrong and she began turning into a monster herself. i think with her affliction it’d start as a small blemish that she keeps trying to magically remove/repair and she keeps making it worse which makes her frantic and keep trying fix things until she becomes this irreparable and permanent monster herself. and unwilling to face the same humiliation and rejection as her colleague, ethel fakes her death, making it seem like she died in a chemical explosion of her own making, and flees lol. eventually she seeks out juneau and the two become reluctant roommates in the shack juneau lives in.

and then Agnes the young one was a student whod worked very hard to make it into the school, probably doesnt come from a well-known family or anything but shes top of her class and has high hopes for her future, but one day during an exam in front of her peers and professors it comes to light that she’s (unbeknownst to herself) a familiar as she starts turning into a rabbit. shes expelled on the grounds that she hid her condition and familiars are not allowed to pursue such high forms of magic. in her determination to not fail and still achieve the status shes wanted all her life, she tries to seek out any mage who will teach a familiar any magic. eventually she finds juneau (and ethel by proxy) and the two reluctantly decide to take the familiar girl on as a student.

I'm gonna have some thoughts I'll post about one piece (i watched until the whole vivi situation and got bored once they hit her home island (politics/propaganda was also frustrating me at the time, that arc didn't help) so I'm not restarting, I just finished the arc with Vivi's goodbye and enjoy the Nico Robin joining the crew and her bonding a bit with Chopper

I am excited for things I know are to come as I have had much if it spoiled, that said please don't intentionally spoil anything because I don't know what's been theory or fannon

not my mom posting a transphobic meme video on facebook....i feel so much anger and shame right now what the fuck. it's a video of a gen z woman saying she identifies as a 25 year old because she can, because there are non binary and trans people, so she can decide whatever age she is. yeah it's fucking dumb. and the thing is i KNOW she doesn't mean it as an anti-trans thing, she just think it's a funny joke about getting old. but god it's so embarrassing.

phew, managed to get mythal's help without fighting her

[coquelicoq]

did i tell u guys about how my family, who have been lukewarm at best and vaguely antagonistic at worst about using they/them pronouns for my nonbinary sibling, did a complete 180 upon learning that my sibling is also good with she/her...like i can't even tell you how hard it's been to get them to even just try to use they/them and then they hear she/her and a switch is flipped in their brains that goes "you are an asshole actually" and all of a sudden my mom is buying PROTECT TRANS KIDS t-shirts and my grandmother's apologizing to me when she messes up. okay i'm glad you got there eventually but if this capability was inside you all along i don't understand why you couldn't have been doing this with the they/them set. like my grandmother told me a couple years ago that she wasn't even going to make an effort because she was probably going to die soon (<-completely made up excuse; obviously any of us could die at any time, and she is old, but she's in good health and her mother lived to be 100) and therefore wouldn't be seeing my sibling often enough for it to matter??? but she/her is worth the effort where they/them was not, apparently. like again i can't complain about the outcome but i am very much complaining about how we got here. what even is this.

I just had the horrible thought that I need to fall in love because having devastating crushes on beautiful, competent, authoritative women that I desperately want to please is exhausting and I need it to stop

I just realized that Jesse Pinkman’s address in high school was his Aunt’s house. He was already living with her instead of his parents by the time he was in high school. The timeline of her cancer and death is a little fuzzy, but it’s likely he had to care for her while attending school. If that’s the case it’s clear he didn’t ask for accommodations or even use his Aunt’s illness as an excuse for his poor grades (Walt was surprised to hear she had been sick). Combined with his obviously untreated ADHD, it’s no wonder he turned to drug use and failed to ‘apply himself.’

And to think that through all this - taking care of his Aunt, struggling in school - his parents didn’t help; either directly with his Aunt’s illness or indirectly easing his responsibility for her by hiring care givers…
