Quick reminder that there will be a strike on Tumblr from June 30 - July 1! This is due to the new accessibility downgrades they have recently added. Tumblr Is not allowing anyone to blaze these posts, so pleas reblog this. THIS IS A SEVERE RESTRICTION ON FREEDOM OF SPEECH

Once again to people who can't read small text,

TUMBLR STRIKE ON JUNE 30 TO JULY 1

[many-gay-magpies]

god what really gets me about dead boy detectives and what i think i love so much about the show and the relationships in it is that like. the romantic and sexual relationships aren't portrayed as being more unique or important than the platonic relationships. they're all just RELATIONSHIPS.

charles and crystal's attraction to each other and eventual hookup isn't this big end-all be-all relationship that shatter charles and edwin's friendship and draws charles' attention away from edwin; it's just a THING that happens. they're just two people that care about each other and happen to also be attracted to each other, and a hook-up happens, then they decide that neither of them are in the right place for it and it's nothing awful. crystal kisses charles, but it isn't some big spectacle of her declaring her love for him; it's just her saying goodbye and that she cares about him, like her hugs with niko and jenny and her handshake with edwin.

edwin realizes he loves charles romantically and tells him, and charles says he doesn't really love edwin romantically BACK, but it's okay, because they still love each other so much in so many other ways that this one tiny difference could never change them—and it doesn't!! they're still just as close, still care for each other just as much, still SHOW that care for each other just as much. their relationship didn't completely end because edwin loved charles in a way charles couldn't reciprocate, but at the same time it isn't "solved" by edwin getting over it, because there's nothing TO solve. it's just another type of love, added to everything that already exists between them. and they have LITERALLY FOREVER to figure out what it means.

the relationships between edwin & niko, crystal & niko, and crystal & edwin aren't given any less weight for being solely platonic, just as charles & crystal's relationship and edwin's feelings for charles aren't given (that much) MORE weight for being romantic. crystal and charles' conflict in the closet is about EDWIN, about how they're BOTH his friend and BOTH want to get him back; it has very little to do with the feelings between THEM, romantic or otherwise. similarly, the weight of charles' and edwin's relationship isn't diminished in the LEAST by charles not reciprocating the romantic side of his feelings (or SAYING he doesn't reciprocate, at least—we can all argue about the legitimacy of that in the notes).

i'm sure there are more examples than this, as well as probably some examples that CONTRADICT this, but like... by and large, it feels like dead boy detectives is a show where all the relationships are given equal weight regardless of platonic, sexual, romantic, or familial status, and as someone on both the asexual and aromantic spectrums who has struggled time and time again with shows casting out the importance of all other relationships in favor of prioritizing romance, that is INCREDIBLY refreshing to see.

i stole this off the dash but wanted to give you more space to do whatever .)

genuinely criminal that the nhl compiled a scf final recap featuring caster calls in 19 different languages and did not provide cc because the call on reinharts scf gwg is spanish is best translated as "The Panthers have stopped falling apart! The Panthers bathed in holy water!"

EDIT:

it actually gets funnier because what he ACTUALLY says is "The Panthers have just been saved! The Panthers bathed their goal in holy water!"

maybe i'm missing something here, but it always confuses me when i see things like "some autistic people are disabled by their autism and some aren't" or "not everyone sees their autism as a disability". because... autism very much is a disability?! if you're autistic, then your symptoms must be present in a way that is disabling to you in your everyday life. it's literally in the diagnostic criteria. of course the extent to and areas in which you're disabled can vary greatly depending on the individual, but disability is part of the basic definition of autism, regardless of your personal feelings on the matter.

don't get me wrong, it's still much better than "autism is only a disability because of capitalism" because at least it doesn't make sweeping generalisations that aren't even remotely accurate to the lived reality of most autistic people. but it still perpetuates incorrect assumptions under the guise of personal choice, and honestly feels like an attempt to distance autism from disability in general. being disabled is nothing to be ashamed of, and i wish people wouldn't twist the meaning of autism to remove disability from it.

(and yes, that goes for level 1/low support needs autistics as well. i would be considered level 1 (though i wasn't diagnosed that way) and i'm still disabled by my autism! not to the same extent as many other people, sure, but i'm still disabled. if i wasn't, i wouldn't be autistic.)

oh my god i just finished the dark forest finally. 7/10 i suppose, i went through the first half or so of the book being really annoyed by luo ji but also enjoying the chapters where he shows up because unfortunately he was entertaining. still don't understand the imaginary girlfriend thing, it just feels like he needs someone to protect from the world which like ??? ok sure i guess, it just rubs me the wrong way personally. for the second half and especially the end i became luo ji's number one defender it's fine. for the rest, holy crap—the droplet, the microcosm of the universe on those runaway ships, the wallfacer project, luo ji drawing from rey diaz's plan, the attitude of the world towards him, the entire theory... wow

teher should be like a yearly tumblr sexyman poll like a miss universe thing every year to vote sexyman of the year idk if people have already thought of this but if so WHEN ARE THE YERALY TUBLER SEXYMAN POLLS SRATRSIG

[bestsouleatercharacter]

Hullo hullo!! Surprised no one’s done this yet :o Welcome to Beat’s Soul Eater Smack-down, in other words, it’s a fun bracket I made for the sake of seeing my favourites fight! I’ll set down some ground rules:

1. Generally, just be respectful of people and who they want to win. This also applies to me as well! I have some clear biases and if anyone threatens me via asks on anon I’ll have to take some measures :)

2. There are already characters pre-selected! (Save for 6 slots) These characters include: Maka, Soul, Black*Star, Tsubaki, Kid, Liz, Patty, Stein, Spirit, Medusa, Crona, Asura, Ragnarok (Dealers Choice), and Lord Death. You can nominate more characters HERE!!

3. Please do not spam my asks/the nominations form. I have notifications on for asks and the form is set to log nominations on a spreadsheet, so I’ll see if someone bots the poll and spam nominates someone. (Though I doubt anyone here will)

4. You have until next Friday to nominate someone! Polls should start that following Monday!

im not gonna act like its as severe as hindutvas make it out to be but if you deny hinduphobia exists you're just a dumbass i think

[alphabetcompletionist]

What if I made an entire ask with all but a single letter? Will that be unexpected? Will it be exasperating? What if I didn’t? What if I included all the letters? Can it be? Surely it can. Just watch and learn. The entire English alphabet, with anteaters and zebras, with ritual and pizzazz, with extreme prejudice, and with very little mercy. Maybe. Maybe quietly I will ask.

Looking at a character like "I understand why you did that but it was such a dick move and you knew better."

[nezumasa]

Octopath: Champions of the Continent sits in a zone where I think concerns of shutdown are fine since unless you’re a big name gacha like FEH, FGO, Honkaiverse, Grandblue Fantasy, Cookie Run, etc., shutdowns are always a threat. Especially for non-JP (ie. The OG server; replace with CN and KR as needed) servers.

However, people are being rather unreasonable about it (ie. Complaining 24/7) considering that 3-5 months is not long at all, especially for a team that is apparently split between Global and JP. You cannot spit out a new road map or change course easily considering how much coding, translation, testing, and general bureaucracy there is in companies. Not to mention submissions to Apple and Google Play to see if they agree with the version update and content.
