Thoughts on Yanagi? You don't seem to care for him much.
And I don't though I am hating him a little less now in Chapter 2.
Once again, things will be under the cut.
The reason Yagami rubbed me the wrong way is first thing's first he was all like "m'lady" and wanting to be a ladies's man which made me think he was gonna be a Casanova type indiviuial and this was trending too much into Yuri from SDRA2's territory. Given how unpopular that character was, I wasn't expecting much from Yagami.
My biggest issue is how much of a Sasaki apologist he is, as he always supports her decisions no matter how bone-headed they are. A capital example is the Punishment game where Sasaki had to cut her hand. Now despite the fact as a figure skater, Yagami should have not offered it since he needs his hands, he still did it anyway. And that's not even getting to all the other punishments he had to undertake because he was like "the women cannot be hurt" like there is wanting to be a ladies man, and then there is being a doormat. This my other reason for not liking Yagami because he is utterly incapable of saying no to a lady. I bet if I told him to go and jump off a cliff he would ask which cliff.
And naturally the fact his stick is so up Sasaki's arse was exploited by her as even though he saw physical evidence she committed murder he still kept his mouth shut because he would rather keep to his morals then dying. This was rightly called out by Hiroaki because aside from this being proof she never cared for him, but on how pathetic he is as he would rather let a lady live then his own life and the fact he was exploited like that and still thinks its his own fault its like....women can be flawed too.
Chapter 2 didn't help matters because the aderelinine gas made him go more obsessed with Sasaki then before as he was after her reward which made him threaten Wada, probably the least threatening person in the cast. And guess what? The only reason he was halted was because Tsuno showed up and actually did her job as a superheroine. Later he would find out Hiroaki had Sasaki's reward and then demanded him to hand it over which he refused naturally. This argument got heated to the point Yagami snapped and actually tried to kill Hirokai.
While the gas wasn't helping, this is capital proof his relationship with Sasaki was exploitive and unhealthy. I am actually impressed the cast actually dealt with him in a mature manner by locking him in the dark room and monitoring him for 24 hours, and then when he was let out, it was under supervision. This is a million times better then how anyone dealt with any of the rival characters in the canon and fangan games as it eliminates all manners of risk and allows Yagami to seriously reflect on his behaviour.
Its kinda a paradox that I don't like Yagami, yet I like Mai who spends a lot of time with Yagami this chapter. But that's because while the other girls are willing to humour Yagami's prince act, Mai can see it as a act and makes it very clear to Yagami that she doesn't like being treated like that. She was also quite antagonistic towards him at the beginning after she heard he cheated on his girlfriend. That is until he told her the context behind it, and it really shows how gulliable and naive he is, as while Mai being the girlboss she is, says what we were all thinking, it was obvious that the girlfriends Yagami were with were shallow bitches who were abusing the fact he doesn't know what love is and keeping him in a abusive relationship. Its also why I suspect he was drawn to Sasaki as she might have had similar traits to his ex, which isn't a good thing.
Its just so frustrating because this lad has been through so much shit but rather then blame the people responsible for it, he blames himself. And he would rather beat up someone who was telling him the truth, even though its Hirokai and he did it in a very rude way, then admit that there are horrible women out there who do use boys for their own purposes.
The Chapter 2 investigation did redeem him somewhat as ultimately he was the one who inspected Chiba's body as due to him being familar with Tamba's silk trick, he could get up the rope. But I just hope in Chapter 3, Yagami finally starts to learn to be more assertive of himself around women because otherwise what happened with his previous exs and Sasaki would just repeat.
That's assuming he doesn't die of course. So while I dislike Yagami, I don't hate him like I do with Sasaki as I'm just more frustated this lad cannot understand that not all women are queens. No single gender is pure good and no single gender is pure evil.

Katniss is such an unreliable narrator. She says "Then something unexpected happens. At least, I don't expect it because I don't think of District 12 as a place that cares about me" girl you deliver strawberries to the Mayor, you hunt and trade for the district, when you fell at Prim being chosen someone caught you, when you went to Prim people parted for you, when you volunteered EVERYONE stopped. Idk how to tell you but I think you're a pillar of the community.
#katniss everdeen#the hunger games trilogy#the hunger games#primrose everdeen#hunger games#batcavescolony reads the hunger games#suzanne collins#'now it seems i have become someone precious' NOW? GIRL BFFR you're their hunter girl#and this isn't negative just bffr girl#your WHOLE DISTRICT did the three finger salute that you yourself says means admiration thanks and goodbye to someone you love and on top is#old a rarely used. your WHOLE DISTRICT decided in that moment that they needed to bring back this sign of respect for YOU#...................................................................#idk why some people are thinking i mean this as negative i don't she is unreliable but its not intentional. like when Peeta heart stoped in#CF she doesn't know what Finnick is doing at first cus she doesn't know off the top of her head what cpr is. she also thinks Peeta after the#reaping is acting for the cameras. he isnt we dind out later his mom basically told him Katniss was gonna win and he would die. obviously#shes not doing it on purpose shes just for lack of better words uneducated? as in she doesn't know everything shes not omnipotent#so when Plutarch (? second games guy) shows her his mokingjay hiden watch shes like *wtf that's weird?* then the people traveling to#district 13 show her the mockingjay cookie and explains it and she then goes on the difference between his watch and their cookie#and why does eveyone act as if district 12 is as bad as the capital? they CANT help Katniss and Prim in the way you want. they cant give#them food. none of them have any! and im not putting iton Katniss but they hid they needed food so they could stay together. it sounds like#some of you are in this our world mentally of what people do after a loved one dies (brings food constantly checks on them etc) district 12#cant do that. they dont have food and they're all suffering. you cant give someone food when you have none to give. then theirs the fact#that peeta DID help. Peeta buring the bread and tossing some to her then taking a beating from his mom is a HUGE thing in the books.#he used his resources to help her like you all said someone should.#district 12 DID (rip) care about Katniss before the hunger games. why do you think she was allowed to hunt? or how her trades were good#these are the little ways 12 can shows Katniss they love her. but again Katniss doesn't see this and YES its because she had ptsd before the#hunger games as well. i swear some of you make it seem like d12 was all living a life of luxury and glaring down at Katniss.#other things that show Katniss is in hight standing with at least her people of d12 is her dad was known enough through d12 for peeta dad to#comment on his singing along with his commenting on her mom. also her mom is a healer in the community. yeah her parents arnt the top but#of d12 but they are/were definitely high staning in the Seam.

We are well beyond canary in the coalmine warning levels with the way trans people and particularly trans women are treated on this site.
Maybe you've heard the metaphor of allowing wolves and sheep to share the same space, welcoming everyone. You end up with just wolves because allowing them in that space makes it unsafe for any sheep. Or the story about how a nazi goes into a dive bar and is refused service. The bartender then explains to someone else at the bar that if you serve them once they tell their friends and before you know it you're the nazi bar they all go to and normal customers don't feel safe.
Terfs and other bigots are seeing these targeted harassment campaigns succeed against trans women and rejoicing. They see Tumblr ban them and officially stand by those decisions as endorsement for their harassment. It's a sign to bigots across the internet that Tumblr is a good place for them.
And what's more is that a lot of us probably don't realize just how much trans women contribute to Tumblr. The women banned recently were sources of site-wide memes and posts I wasn't even aware originated from them.any years old memes and references can be traced back to trans women on this site.
How many of these folks have to be removed before this is no longer a site you want to be a part of it? Sure you cultivate your own experience, but you can't follow or interact with people who aren't here. And if I wanted to interact with the nazis and terfs I'd go to reddit.
I encourage everyone to reblog this. Trans women shouldn't have to be the only ones speaking out against the bigotry they're experiencing. They shouldn't be the only ones risking their blogs being nuked by staff. We have to stand with them.

I think so many people are so deeply alienated from themselves that they have no clue how to exercise their free will and autonomy. For some, this alienation runs so deep that they are afraid of their own autonomy and humanity. It is completely understandable why one would have those feelings, but it can be worrisome.
I want to help others who feel this way, so here are small things I have done to exercise my free will:
Add "guilty pleasure" songs to playlists and actually listen to them (I have a ton of late 1990s-early 2000s music I listen to now proudly that I never listened to in the past out of shame)
Getting the décor item, bath set, bed spread, ect. in the patterns you like, even if it's "childish" (I got a dinosaur-themed wastebasket from the kids' décor section and I adore it)
Taking a new route to get to a place you go to often
Eat dessert first
Celebrate well, and often
Collect things that are "odd" or don't seem like an "acceptable" thing to collect (somebody on my "for you" page collects dandelion crayola crayons and it was so cool!!!!!!)
Incorporate one new piece in an outfit you wear frequently (e.g., a new chain, a necklace, ribbons, bracelets, ect.). Challenge yourself to add onto the outfits if you feel up for it.
Sing along to songs without worrying that you sound "good" or your intonation is completely accurate
Read a book from a genre you weren't allowed to read as a kid (comics, thrillers, mysteries, anything!)
Walk without having a specific destination or goal
Pick up a new craft without expecting yourself to master it or to ever be "good" enough. Get your hands messy.
I don't want to shame anybody for not feeling as though they have free will or that they are exempt from exercising it. However, I wanted to give ideas so that you might read this list and find your own ways to express your intrinsic autonomy and will. You deserve to be a person, to feel alive, not just living. That is what our lives are for.

was talking with a friend about how some of dunmeshi fаndom misunderstands kabru's initial feelings towards laios.
to sum up kabru's situation via a self-contained modernized metaphor:
kabru is like a guy who lost his entire family in a highly traumatic car accident. years later he joins a discord server and takes note of laios, another server member who seems interesting, so they start chatting. then laios reveals his special interest and favorite movie of all time is David Cronenberg's Crash (1996), and invites kabru to go watch a demolition derby with him
#dungeon meshi#delicious in dungeon#kabru#kabru already added laios as a discord friend. everyone else in the server can see laios excitedly asking kabru to go with him#what would You even Do in this situation. how would YOU feel?#basically: kabru isnt a laios-hater! hes just in shock bc Thats His Trauma. the key part is kabru still says yes#bc he wants to get to know laios. to understand why laios would be so fascinated by something horrific to him#and ALSO bc even while in shock kabru can still tell laios has unique expertise + knowledge that Could be used for Good#even if kabru doesnt fully trust laios yet (bc kabru just started talking to the guy 2 hours ago. they barely know each other)#kabru also understands that getting to know ppl (esp laios) means having to get to know their passions. even if it triggers his trauma here#but thats too much to fit in this metaphor/analogy. this is NOT an AU! its not supposed to cover everything abt kabru or laios' character!#its a self-contained metaphor written Specifically to be more easily relatable+thus easy to understand for general ppl online#(ie. assumed discord users. hence why i said (a non-specific) 'discord server' and not something specific like 'car repair subreddit')#its for ppl who mightve not fully grasped kabru's character+intentions and think hes being mean/'chaotic'/murderous.#to place ppl in kabru's shoes in an emotionally similar situation thats more possible/grounded in irl experiences and contexts.#and also for the movie punchline#mynn.txt#dm text#crossposting my tweets onto here since my friends suggested so

Obsessed with characters who portray themselves as worse than they are. Who are lying to everyone including themselves about it. People generally assume if someone's lying about themselves they're trying to look better but sometimes they're trying to look worse. They attribute agency to where they had none, add intent to accidents, try to convince everyone that this is something they did instead of something that happened to them.

I will forever be obsessing over Laios imaging himself as a wolf (a dangerous animal, and one that is [albeit falsely] associated with loneliness) and Marcille imagining him as a cute dog. It shows how negatively he thinks of himself after his fight with Shuro, and how even if he worries now that he's a nuisance to people/can't fit in, NOBODY PERCEIVES HIM THIS WAY. HE'S JUST A SILLY GUY. MARCILLE ASSOCIATES HIM WITH THE DOG BECAUSE HE'S LOYAL AND LOVEABLE.
