#tag rant /////////////////////

I've never really self-identifed as butch because my style sensibility leans more toward effeminate gay man/eccentric grandparent but while my girlfriend was visiting, the clasps that held the shoulder strap of her handbag kept breaking (thanks temu), and finally I got fed up and fixed it by

a) wrenching off the old clasps with a pair of plyers and

b) replacing them with the only clasps I had on hand, which were 2 giant carabiners

and yeah, now that I think about it, that is incredibly butch lesbian behavior.

I would even pay for the show but it's not purchasable on any streaming services in the EU, specifically Germany.

hi reminder that using kemonomimi to mean “someone who dresses up as an animal with ears, tails, collars, etc.” is cultural appropriation! Unless you’re actually an alterhuman who is kin/hearted/therian/kith/linked with kemono/kemonomimi, do not call yourself a kemonomimi! They are not just people who dress up! They are spirits in Japanese folklore that have influence culture practices into the modern age. -sincerely, an indigenous Japanese person

It's fucking weird how rude people are about immigration sometimes. And I don't just mean bigots being biased and stuff. I mean that, on a REGULAR basis, people ask me if I'm thinking about "going back to the US". And I'm just like... no? What do you mean "back to the US"? I live in Germany. I LIVE IN GERMANY.

I literally fucking started learning German and obsessing on German culture in high school, then I went to college in the US and majored in German Studies, including two study-abroad programs in Germany, then I moved to Germany for grad school and lived there for three years and worked in various German-speaking jobs while studying, then I had to temporarily return to the US but found a German-translation-based job at the US branch of a German company, and made a bunch of German or at least German-speaking friends in my new US city, and then a few years later I was able to move back to Germany, where I got a work visa sponsored by my employer and a full-time salaried job, and after a few more years I acquired my permanent residency, and soon I'll be applying for citizenship.

And people still sometimes ask me whether I'm considering "going back to the US". Like... dude? Would you ask a Mexican living in the US about their plans for "going back to Mexico"? That is rude as fuck.

Immigration is fucking hard. Why on earth would I have gone through all this shit just to throw it up in the air like "Oh well, never mind!"

People who comment "gentle parenting at it's finest" on posts of kids having a meltdown in public and their parents not doing anything about it do not understand what gentle parenting means at all and it makes me want to put my head through a wall

piping hot Percy Jackson (tv show) take, but i honestly think that it's really good for the main 3 actors to not be doing publicity; and i'm going to be just a little sad for them in particular when the sag-aftra strike is over

sure, okay, it'd be cool to hear what they have to say about filming, but also i think it's not really a bad thing that three literal children aren't going around doing constant publicity interviews in front of media and giant crowds of people

i'd rather panels like we got at NYCC, where the designers and writers talk about their process! that was awesome! maybe talk to some of the adult actors!

i'd rather let the kids be kids--go to school and film other fun projects and post embarrassing shit on tiktok and NOT have to deal with the press.

it's cool to learn about the show but also the amount of publicity child actors get is absolutely fucked up. remember how concerned you were about your self image when you were thirteen? remember how you felt about your body? yeah. okay. now imagine you're constantly being poked at by stylists, and photographed, and filmed, and your face is blown up to mega-size on zillions of billboards... and don't you think that'll fuck with your brain a little?

like, i don't think anyone has done anything objectively wrong here (aside from some concerning industry norms) but also i'm very happy these teenagers AREN'T going to NYCC or SDCC or giving tons of media interviews or whatever.

the honest to god worship of kenny in some twdg spaces needs to be studied... are we forgetting the everything about him being a complex and nuanced character or am i just insane. this man is NOT a hero he is literally just on a downward spiral

Eve: Bottling up negative emotions is bad for your health, so you shouldn't do it.

Seto: I know, that's why I bottle up all my emotions, both positive and negative, so it cancels out.

Eve: Th-that's not how that works-

Actually, the two are pretty open with each other.

Anyway on another note I cannot explain to you just how Severely disappointed I will be if bnha ends with a confession ending. I hate confession endings outside of romance manga 😀
