No sport is more physical, more direct, than boxing. No sport appears more powerfully homoerotic: the confrontation in the ring—the disrobing—the sweaty heated combat that is part dance, courtship, coupling—the frequent urgent pursuit by one boxer of the other in the fight’s natural and violent movement toward the “knockout”: surely boxing derives much of its appeal from this mimicry of a species of erotic love in which one man overcomes the other in an exhibition of superior strength and will. The heralded celibacy of the fighter-in-training is very much a part of boxing lore: instead of focusing his energies and fantasies upon a woman the boxer focuses them upon an opponent. Where Woman has been, Opponent must be.

If you need me I'll be chewing on the fact that, yes, the other eight uses are in Exodus and are about the Tabernacle tapestries and in the New Testament our bodies are called the temple of the Lord

Shout out to the canon vnc streamer AU. I have no idea if people have made fan content of this but it’s hilarious

Vanitas being a gamer is somehow not surprising to me. The rage-quitting even less so. Loser (affectionate).

Noé (a cat owner): Omg guys I found a cat :D !!

A study because I miss this show

[goldensunset]

while I can't say I've encountered nearly as many Radiant Garden fans as you probably have in order for that to jump to mind, I actually did find myself really agreeing with your take on it. I totally thought I was missing some cutscenes for a while, like maybe I just hadn't seen something that was in the manga or in the DS version of 358/2 days, but no. people actually do just extrapolate off of nothing. and while that's fine for the most part, I never see this level of dedication being put in for female characters. as a huge Aqua fan it's frustrating that she has so many interesting qualities that I'd love to see explored but DON'T because most of the fandom would rather extrapolate from a guy with 4 seconds of screen time than even think about her. unless she's being shipped with Terra, I guess. I think the R.G. folks are just a microcosm of that bigger issue--they'd dig into the earth's fucking mantle looking for gold in an emo boy before digging six feet down for a woman

salt under the cut (i won’t make this a habit i promise)

adjdjcnsnxn that’s an incredible way to put it i might steal that phrasing… see like again i understand the ienzo thing purely from a life situation point of view. if a lil boy was an orphan raised by sketchy weirdos in a lab and then at the ripe old age of 8 had the whole losing-his-heart-and-growing-up-less-than-human-raised-in-a-cult thing. sure i’d want to explore that too! i’d read farther into it than canon. but literally where is the passion for aqua or kairi or skuld etc etc… i mean the girls have their fans but like no one is out here constructing an entire elaborate universe out of them. like i do my best but it’s hard work… but i mean that’s hardly surprising right. that’s how the story goes

honestly ienzo fans don’t even make me mad it’s more like i get annoyed when ppl obsess over like. aeleus and dilan.. because respectfully and i say this with love. there is *nothing* there. they didn’t even bother bringing back their vas in kh3. they are filler. why do all the shifty weirdo radiant garden men draw rabid fans but heaven forbid the ladies get love. hold on *approaches hornet’s nest with a baseball bat* i think there’s something about specifically adult fictional men that- ((i reconsider and stop myself))

but like. people are allowed to do whatever they want idk at worst it’s annoying when they start attacking others over alleged mischaracterization. yes i know in your fun and admittedly interesting fantasy he acts like this. but you cannot get mad when another fan portrays him the way we see him in canon lollllllllll

"INFP-A 9w1" daily thoughts: always relating more to ENFPs because MOST of the characters typed as INFPs are TOO gloomy/dark

[briebysabs]

It is possible mochijun has vanoé be in the same state as ozlice, a form of love that is beyond labels. And I’d love that but when having Noé react during Vanitas lines like: “I have no interest in a person who’d fall for me”

“As if anyone would fall for a person like me”

“Fall for me” is a phrase almost always used in romantic context. Vanitas uses it that way, I don’t know if this is an exact translation of what is said in japanese. But I would assume the connotation is still a romantic one, not just vague “love”. That’s why I’m so curious where she’s taking their relationship, especially on Noe’s end bc he’s narrating this. There’s too many vanoé moments that have an underlying layer of “not platonic”. We saw Noé dance with Domi at the Bal Masque and him dancing with Vanitas later on.

Those two scenes are treated very differently when they didn’t have to be. Noé remembering the time he met Vanitas with literal rose-tinted glasses. This isn’t really done for someone who’s just a “dear friend.” At least in manga. That’s why I don’t agree with vanoé being queerbait because it cheapens their relationship. This isn’t fan-service, they are important scenes for their characters and the story. There is thought and planning behind it. Explicitly canon or not.
