[darcyfirth]

Yes!! It is called goblin! I have some more rec!

Netflix:

(Korean)Doctors: ML used to be FML high scholl teacher but rn he is her colleague (maybe more like a senior doctor) and persuing her, not too much into medical. I like FML character, she is independent and cool. Good soundtrack also! (Especially ‘it’s love’ and ‘ no way’)

(Korean) The king eternal monarch: WATCH IT FOR LEE MIN HO. He is sup hot here~like rlly rlly hot, cant write much cos i’ll end up spoiling. Cool plot concept. FML is the same with goblin FML, so cutee. Many unexpected events. Despite having FML i ship ML and his boduguard😂, they are so cute ur honor

Non-netflix

(Japanese BL series) what did you eat yesterday?: about a middle age couple, a lot of cooking, not cheesy or fluffy but rather kinda wholesome, i was surprise at some point (which remind me not to judge the book by its cover😂 if you watch it u’ll know what i means)

(Indian BL movie) Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan: strict parent caught Their son kissing men(ML) then try to turn him straight, one method is arrange marriage. It is beautiful to see MC&ML fight for their relationship. Not cheesy but you can feel their love. More like Slice of life, comedy, happy ending.

Btw, there are many BL novel in novel updates!!!

omg tysm for these recs! i’m noting down everything frantically because these are life-savers.

[incorrect-hs-quotes]

oohohoho you just opened the deepest can of worms on the planet

-mod dave, who wrote a fucking ten mile essay

first off, addressing the second anon, no theyre all humans. h., half humans at least. cause yall know me i fucking love my humanstuck aus off my ASS

(that would be funny as hell though. a troll from space walking into a camp on earth going “I AM THE SON OF ONE OF YOUR EARTH GODS. BITCH” like... holy shit)

so first things first their parents. im gonna lay this out, the beta kids and trolls are all greek (EXCEPT sollux hes roman cause his parent has no greek equivalent), and all the alpha kids and trolls are those gods roman equivalents (,,EXCEPT dirk cause he kinda balances sollux being roman out). i havent figured out how thatd happen like 16+ times yet cause in the percy jackson books theres only ever been one instance of two siblings of the same godly descent being greek and roman respectively in HISTORY so like.. i guess th. i guess thats just not a problem in this au

anyway this gets really long so im gonna talk about the beta kids and trolls cause i havent elaborated on the alphas at all ((peep the tags if you wanna see their parents though))

johns the son of zeus, rose is the daughter of athena, dave is the son of apollo, and jade is the daughter of demeter. they were all raised in their respective states, all had to come to new york for various reasons. jades been there the longest, shes been there 9 years and shes been on a couple quests. her biggest accomplishment so far is how she protected the camp from this big vicious angry hellhound that got past the barrier. naturally the girls fluent in Dog Training, so she steps up and instead of trying to kill this thing, she reaches out and tames it as fast as she can. it ends up actually working, and ever since that day she, her cabin, and the camp have a whole bodyguard sleeping right outside the demeter cabin! hes her steed in battle and hes a Very Good Boy. and his name is becquerel

johns the newest kid at camp, he has no idea who he is or why the fuck his school got attacked or why in the hell those anemoi thuellai were so fixated on him or HOW in the hell he absorbed the lightning one threw at him and ended up fine,,, hes just a big mess right now. a big enough mess that when he got claimed by literally zeus, no one else was around, he shrugged it off as some basic magical happening, and he stayed in the hermes cabin far longer than he should have cause no one! fucking knew he got claimed! by zeus of all people! dumbass. he ends up figuring it out though. like an off-hand mention about how this “weird lightning thing appeared above my head a couple weeks ago, haha weird right?” once he figures it out he realizes “hey i might be able to fly” so he sneaks off into the woods to try it. he succeeds fairly quickly but god almighty everyones face the one day the dude just yote himself off a small cliff without warning,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

dave and rose are really tight, theyve been there roughly the same time length, and since their cabins are across from each other they just bother each other all the time. daves the resident Doctor even though he really doesnt look it cause hes got the apollo powers. apollo is the medicine god. so if you wound your stupid ass in battle daves in the ER room patching you up with his glowy hands. rose on the other hand is a very good strategist. shes one of the only athena kids ever recorded to actually have a power - telekinesis. she has no idea how she developed it, she thinks its from birth, but it freaks her out. shes training it though.

so the beta trolls, are also all human(ish). aradias hades kid. but i pulled a pjo trope on her based on one of my favorite characters (im not saying for spoilers, but if you recognize the situation, You Probably Know Who Its Based Off) and aradia died. her mom, the handmaid, had been pulling some Shady Ass Shit and ended up getting herself killed, but aradia tried saving her and ended up going down with her.

so handmaid gets sentenced to the fields of punishment in the underworld, and aradia gets sentenced to elysium, heroes paradise. shes like “no i want my mom to be okay” so they take that away from aradia and they put them both in the fields of asphodel, the neverending grey space for Not So Good But Not So Bad people. her mom becomes a shade (shadow spirit, no human resemblance), as all people do, but aradia. doesnt? and she gets dunked in the fucking river lethe and if you dont know what that does it erases your memory. so she just. comes out of the river like “hello? wgat tae fukc goin on??” but she still remembers one thing. there was an “a” in her name.

tavros is the son of hermes, hes just kinda taken on the role of backup counselor for when the actual cabin counselor is out. hes in a wheelchair, but he also has prosthetic legs for when he needs to actually stand up and fight. hes really good at it too. also catch him in winged converse cause he Owns Those and Uses Them To His Advantage. hes trying his best to keep focused on the camp, cause aradia was his childhood friend, he misses her a whole lot, she never got to camp in the first place. and to his knowledge, shes still dead.

sollux is a janus kid. thats a problem cause janus is roman, and this is a greek camp. he grew up with dave, he showed up with dave, hes been at camp as long as dave. but hes been unclaimed since he showed up so he thinks hes unwanted by whatever parent he has. he knows hes a demigod, he got through the camp barriers, so what the fuck is wrong with him? he also feels shitty cause hes shit at the greek lessons, he cant read a lick of it which literally every demigod without exception should be able to do, he cant name any gods- well, he can, but.. he gets their names mixed up. why does he keep calling poseidon “neptune”? and he has a much, much different way of natural fighting than other kids. they slice, he jabs. he wasnt taught to jab. 

karkat is an aphrodite kid with vitiligo, and to make matters worse, hes ace and on the aro spectrum. to make matters WORSE, the aphrodite kids are kinda notorious for being really shallow, really materialistic, and really mean. karkats been dubbed the “runt” of the cabin, he gets made fun of for his spots to the point where he uses make up and magic to conceal them. worst of all? hes the kid of the goddess of love, for fucks sake. being reminded that “loveless people shouldnt be able to stay in this cabin, mom must have made a mistake claiming you” is kind of.. a blow to the self esteem. long story short he hates aphrodite for claiming him, and would have rather stayed in the hermes cabin. but he eventually goes on this big quest thats vague as fuck right now but Its The Main Plot, he ends up proving to himself that hes worth something and that his siblings are wrong, and my FAVORITE LINE IN THE WHOLE THING i came up with is HIS when he deals a final blow to some big monster: “REMEMBER MY FACE THE NEXT TIME YOU REINCARNATE. MY NAME IS KARKAT VANTAS, I’M THE SON OF APHRODITE, AND LOOKS CAN KILL.”

nepeta isnt anywhere near developed as others are unfortunately, shes a daughter of ares and shes really really good at hand to hand combat. shes small but she leads groups of people in things ranging from camp volleyball games to actual literal wars. shes a tough little shit

kanaya isnt really developed either, i have yet to figure out most of her powers too actually, shes a daughter of iris, the rainbow goddess though. (blatant reference to both kanayas vampirism and. h. her. sh. es ga. gay) ONE THING SHE CAN DO THOUGH is iris message at will without water or drachmas so really shes just everyones go to cell phone and its fucking hilarious cause people just come into the cabin like “KANAYA I NEED TO TALK TO [X]” and shes like “You Better Fucking Pay Me I Am Not Your Personal Cell Phone”

terezi is the daughter of nemesis and she has this really peculiar power she hasnt really gotten the hang of yet. she has synesthesia, so while she cant see she can smell and taste the colors of her surroundings and its really helpful. sometimes though she gets messages from her mom. they dont even come as dreams half the time, they come as almost a different plane altogether. tez has the power to literally tip the scales, pretty much. and when she gets like that, she can see. shes not on earth though, shit on earth stops when shes like that. shes just kinda In Her Own Head, i guess? and in her head she holds the two scales in her hands. she is the arms of the scale. and depending on which one she lifts up, she can literally alter the fate of the battle or happening thats going on By Herself. once she chooses she just whooshes back to real life though and nothing has changed. the only downside? it takes a LOT of energy and cant be exploited for little things. her one thing on her bucket list is to tap into said powers while getting something from a vending machine so like three things will fall out but it hasnt happened yet and shes upset

vriskas a daughter of tyche, the luck goddess, come the fuck on you knew i was gonna, i havent really elaborated on her either and im upset about that. but hey now you get a break from all those fucking paragraphs

equius is a hephaestus kid, and he kinda stays in the background. hes a range fighter, he spends a lot of time in the forge, and even though its been a project looooong since forgotten, hes been excavating the tunnels under cabin nine for years. by himself. he has no idea where they lead, but dammit hes gonna find out where. he has no idea about a certain bunker in the woods though...

gamzees just there for a fucking laugh tbh hes a son of dionysus and i love that cause hes the god of wine and parties and insanity. usually gamzees just zoning out somewhere hes Not supposed to be, and hes not affected by the maenads FUCKED UP BULLSHIT that goes down the forest sometimes. also hes so fucking scared of tavroses wing shoes he tried them on once while he was high and JESUS CHRIST

eridan is the son of kymopoleia, a SUPER obscure goddess. lets just say dont fuck with eridan cause his mom is the goddess of violent sea storms,

and naturally, feferi is the daughter of poseidon. cause who the FUCK else would she be the daughter of. WHO. NAME ONE GOD

OH AND JUST CAUSE I FORGOT CALLIE AND CALIBORN ARE SATYRS IN THIS AU. CALLIE HAS PAN PIPES. and caliborn still has a gun

[dlamp-dictator]

I know I said I’d talk more about Elsword, but has been in my drafts for a week now. Y’know, the only anime I’m watching this season aside from some Hi-Dive stuff is Kaguya-Sama season 3, Spy X Family, and In the Heart of Kunoichi Tsubaki. I tried watching a few other things, but aside from that Hi-Dive stuff two of those shows almost immediately fell flat for me. And I needed to vent about them for a bit. I won’t tag these aside from my usual personal tags since I don’t want to be that asshole tags my negativity without damn good reason and ruin every fan’s good time, but... I can’t watch Shield Hero anymore.

For a quick synopsis, The Rising of the Shield Hero follows Iwatani Naofumi, an otaku from our modern time summoned to a fantasy world that follows an RPG-like structure... like 85% of all other Isekai anime. The big twist in this one being that Naofumi is summoned as the Shield Hero, a rather hated and discriminated figure according to the past and lore of the kingdom he’s summoned into, and is harshly treated within the first season to an almost comical point by both the kingdom’s citizens and his fellow heroes. This treatment turns Naofumi dark and pragmatic, and as he goes about saving the world in his own pragmatic and blunt way he gains several allies, abilities, and resources to use.

And boy, did I get turned off after episode one of season 2.

For the short version of this whole venting essay: the slave girl party was barely tolerable in the first season and I only dealt with it because the plot seemed to be moving past that. As of episode one of season 2 not only is it continuing that trend, but the length it’s going to justify it is flat out stupid.

But, let me explain this in greater detail

So, Let’s Talk About Slavery

I’ll spare you all a long discussion on why violating human rights and a living, sentient being’s autonomy is, in fact, a bad thing and talking about slavery in the sense of a narrative, setting, and isekai.

Slavery, from the perspective of most isekai protagonists, is the aforementioned violation of human rights and autonomy I mentioned, but most tackle in the same way.

As being only one singular person in a society of thousands or even millions with differing views of slavery due to the culture and time period of the summoned setting, the protagonist either knows or quickly learns that they, as a single person with an extremely different mindset and background to the setting they’re in, likely can’t just overturn the slave trade without becoming a wanted criminal. They usually lament the slave trade and its terribleness, but know it’s safer to stay out of those affairs lest they run into further problems. Depending on the righteousness of the character or how much of a power fantasy the series is, the main character might stop a nearby slave trade with force or guile, and the more pragmatic of them might try to swindle the slave trader in a way that grants the slaves freedom without profiting the slave market, but the most common route I’ve seen is that they buy or rescue a specific slave girl that they specifically pitied.

This is often done as a way to not only show that the main character is sympathetic toward a specific slave, but due to that slave girl being moved out of the dangerous and harmful environment of the slave trade and into the care of the kinder and more generous protagonist they’ll often become a loyal follower that will love and cherish them no matter what as thanks for being freed from what would be a crueler fate.

I don’t think I need to say how this is disgusting on the part of the narrative, but I’ll give you all the brass tacks of it. In a nutshell, this is an insidiously cheap way of trying to frame the protagonist as a good person while also letting them have a slave at the same time. It’s more manipulative than kind on the protagonist’s end for a number of reasons and I’ll just give you all the small list version.

Purchasing slaves, even if one plans to immediately free them, allows the slave trade to profit and continue.

A protagonist keeping a slave under any circumstance, makes them a slave owner by default and it takes some extremely good writing or an extremely pragmatic setting to let that go unaddressed.

The protagonist rarely ever makes an effort to free the slaves in their circle or encourage them to move past them in order to keep them around (I’ve only seen it about twice).

The slave often gains either romantic feelings for the protagonist which is, frankly, not a good thing even with the proper context.

Mind you, all of these points have their own asterisks to them. Purchasing a slave can be done out of pragmatism of having a loyal helper that is familiar with the world to an extend. Being a slave owner within a setting that already accepts slavery isn’t as damning as it would be in our own, even if I, the reader, will judge the protagonist more harshly. The protagonist might be ignorant in their understanding that slave's constant affection is likely a pragmatic coping tactic to avoid beatings or abuse and as we often only have the protagonist’s perspective we never see the internal machinations of the slave in question. I’m not saying it’s impossible to make this work, but there usually needs to be a lot of internal justification and an honest exploration of the topic if that topic is going to be there.

And to be fair, there are a handful anime, light novels, and isekai that address this. Masters of Ragnarok explain that the main character can’t outlaw slavery yet due to his already meritocratic policies and harsher laws forbidding looting and pillaging during war time creating a lot of political unease among the slave-owning elites. Realist Hero has the main character slowly implementing laws and policies to encourage education among the lowest ranked citizens and slaves of his kingdom as a way to pave the way for former slaves to become citizens within the next few decades. Demon Princess Magical Chaos, for all it’s flaws and blunders, has its main character sharply criticize those that engage in the slave trade and spent the first portion of it’s third book outright annihilating a slave market. It can be done, it’s just that some care and acknowledgement is needed to make sure the fact that slavery is, in fact, a bad thing needs to be discussed as well.

But... let’s bring this back to focus.

What Does This Have to Do With Shield Hero?

For those unfamiliar with the events in the first season of Shield Hero, Naofumi spends the first portion of the show buying a slave girl known as Raphtalia to become his sword since the mechanics of the world he’s summoned to doesn’t give him much in the way of using offense. Through various events the two have less of a master-slave relationship and more of a father-daughter one instead, Raphtalia slowly becoming a skilled swordswoman and right-hand woman to Naofumi as she’s the one to keep his pragmatism in check and makes sure he doesn’t push himself too hard through his darker, riskier magic as the series goes on. The party increases with Filo, large bird-like creature that can change into a human form. Through various events she also gains more of a father-daughter relationship to Naofumi.

The latest girl, Rishia, is an archer girl with strong abilities in ki according to the martial artist in Naotfumi’s circle. To keep her story simple, she was left behind by one of the Cardinal Heroes for being too weak and burdening her old party. She finds herself joining Naofumi in order to gain the strength she needs to rejoin her old party and be accepted by them.

And... Raphtalia asks her to become a slave as a way to connect herself to Naofumi.

...

...

...

Look, I’m not going to go on a tirade about this, I’m sure other people already have. My main issue isn’t that Raphtalia has confused slavery to be a form of bond due to her being lucky enough to have a master that actually cares for her (keep in mind she’s, like, 12 and doesn’t know how her own mind works). It’s mostly toward Naofumi, who despite his pragmatism usually shows some pretty clear lines in understanding that all that aforementioned human rights violating and autonomy snatching is wrong. He bought Raphtalia out of desperation and pragmatism due to him being so few allies and so many enemies he had no choice but to buy an ally. And Filo, for as disturbing as her being a slave is, was an honest-to-god pet bird before Naofumi and Raphtalia realized she could obtain a human form. Everyone else in Naofumi’s circle is an independent, free person serving him out of their own free will after seeing his good deeds, or are professionals that were assigned (and likely paid) to help Naofumi under orders of the royal family.

Rishia... has no reason to willing lose her autonomy, especially at the behest of Raphtalia. And Naofumi only gives a nervous shrug and basically says “if you really want to...”

Naofumi. My guy. My dude. Why?

Didn’t you just call out the Bow and Spear Hero last season for ignorantly not taking the consequences of their actions seriously enough? I mean... we, the audience, know you aren’t going to do anything weird with Rishia, especially since pragmatic Naofumi mostly sees her as a hassle with small bits of potential, but... ugh, this really bugged me to the point of starting of losing interest in this series. I just can’t, man. I watched about 4 episodes of this, but it just isn’t working for me. My mind still looks back at that first episode with apprehension and annoyance.

The show has an honestly good hook and I like a lot of its themes, but... man, that’s a real dark stain on an otherwise decent series.

Conclusion

Honestly, that’s really all I wanted to get off my chest. I think I’ll binge this season of Shield Hero at some point, and I know the show has started its simuldub recently, so maybe I’ll keep up with the show that way once the dub pushes past episode 4. That one stain of a moment aside, I find this Tortoise Arc really interesting, as it’s showing off more lore about the world and at the point I stopped watching the other set of heroes are about to get involved, which means we might see Glass again, and she’s best girl of the series so far.

I don’t think this show is completely unwatchable, but I’ll definitely have my eyes and ears open a little more when I pick this series back up next month or so. Until then I’ll just stick with In the Heart of Kunoichi Tsubaki and Kaguya-Sama.

Anyway, I’ll see you folks later.

Hyperallergic: When “Queer” Art Becomes Commonplace

Ariel Goldberg, The Estrangement Principle (image courtesy Nightboat Books)

Reading The Estrangement Principle feels like walking alongside author Ariel Goldberg as they attend art openings and performances, mull over volumes at bookstores and the classroom, ask questions to poets, writers, and theorists at readings and panel discussions, and flirt at dance parties. Each of these events was tagged “queer” by organizers, participants, and publishers. Goldberg, a poet and photographer, began “collecting the phrase ‘queer art’ in all its sweaty megaphone pronouncements” in 2010. In 2012, this collection inspired an essay, self-published as a pamphlet, which Goldberg distributed at events like the aforementioned. In it, Goldberg forewarned of the overuse of the word “queer” and the dangers of doing so.

2012 was the year I personally stopped using the word queer as a descriptor of my identity. The term reclaimed by LGTBQIA folk in the late ‘80s, at the height of the AIDS epidemic, rang out like an S.O.S call across the country, insisting on a radical platform that rejected the heteronormative agendas of the mainstream gay political movement. But by 2012, the term had reached the ears of marketing machines and retailers and it seemed like Urban Outfitters was trying to sell queerness back to me for a price heftier than an inflated sales tag. It seemed that everyone born after 1990s was dressing as if it was 1990 — a light-hearted regurgitation of fashion stripped of politics and the context of mass death.

Ariel Goldberg, “Rainbow Dreams” (2012), 17 x 22 inches, archival ink jet (image courtesy the artist)

In its worst manifestations, “queer” is used as a substitute for a politic, the veneer of activism without the action, only utterance. Goldberg’s choice to quantify the barrage of the word as applied to art rather than qualify the many permutations of the word itself was a wise one. The danger of overusing the word “queer,” Goldberg argues, is that it upends its very intention to resist definition, while depoliticizing it and placing incredibly limiting boundaries around the expansive space “queer” purports to be. For instance, there’s been an increasing use of “queer” as a kind of disclaimer for one’s positionality in the world. As a result, the category has been overgeneralized for a group of people with divergent, specific sexual practices and gender expressions. Goldberg, for example, writes from a “Jewish, white, lesbian, trans, middle-class, able-bodied, and united statian perspective.” Throughout the book, Goldberg, who is both a poet and visual artist, parses language, often with evocative and memorable word play. “Queer resembles an umbrella one buys that falls apart shortly after a rainstorm,” they write when considering canonic and contemporary works from the realm of visual art, poetry, fiction, and criticism.

Ariel Goldberg, Strand Bookstore “June is Gay Pride Month,” Cell Phone Photo Notes (June 2014) (image courtesy the artist)

In the book’s earliest chapters, Goldberg resurrects Berenice Abbott and Susan Sontag as examples from a previous generation who refused or did not disclaim their queerness. The shifting relationship to the coming-out story over time becomes an investigation of the queer self against the backdrop of a changing world. American poet laureate Kay Ryan’s self-censored lesbianism contrasts with current generations that actively market themselves as queer. Goldberg points out the intersection of identity politics and capitalism when artists are asked to professionalize and prioritize their public image as much as their actual work. Goldberg delves into the professionalization of the queer artist and the institutionalization of “queer art,” in programs such as the Queer Arts Mentorship, to suggest the ways in which positioning one’s identity at the forefront has become a sales tactic. Though not explicitly stated, this emphasis on the identity-as-marketing strategy has the potential to place the work beyond the reproach of critics belonging to a different identity group.

Ariel Goldberg, “Rainbow Drawing” (2014), 17 x 22 inches, archival ink jet (image courtesy the artist)

Just as interesting as attending to the proliferation of works and events tagged “queer,” Goldberg also takes note of “the palpable silences around events that could have used the word ‘queer’ as a descriptor, but didn’t,” usually when race or multiple subjectivities enter the mix alongside gender and sexuality. Goldberg’s collection of press releases, flyers, and postcards reveal who, when, and how one is tagged with “queer” — almost as metadata that structures where content circulates IRL and in the invisible cloud of capitalism.

Ariel Goldberg, “Missing Photo of Fran Lebowitz from Peter Hujar by Peter Hujar (1990),” Cell Phone Photo Notes, (June 2013) (image courtesy the artist)

Goldberg’s critique is multipronged and, as such, revels in an ambivalence that is refreshing for acknowledging how the questions at stake are complicated. Maintaining this ambivalence is a difficult feat that Goldberg does well. To come to a more direct point, would be, well, too phallic an approach. There are no easy answers as the stakes of visibility are intertwined with cooptation. I appreciate the way in which Goldberg lingers in the folds and dark corners of questions about the relationship between aesthetics and identity, rolling experiences and words around their mouth in a poet’s exploration of textures, tastes, and sensations of language as they attempt to get closer to the core of “queer.”

When Goldberg started this project more than seven years ago, they were “young(er) and hadn’t been in one place long enough to contribute to various communities built around shared interests and experiences. [They] could only have been completed to write this book at that acute moment of estrangement.” The eponymous “estrangement principle,” then, points to the etymology of queer as strange, but also stranger, and one step further to estrangement. Distance, in both its critical and alienating forms, is considered at length in the subtext of the book: How does one formulate and maintain a critical position while immersed in a community of makers, writers, and thinkers who are also friends? As the book surveys the territory where “queer” is staked, it ultimately constructs a portrait of a community of people at various stages of mobilizing. It’s here that I should tell you that I’m in the book, as are a number of friends, colleagues, and acquaintances. I was in the audience with Goldberg during many events, though not literally by their side. They recount the conversation we had on the 25th Anniversary of a Day Without Art, for which I curated a project by fierce pussy and Alex Fiahlo led a group from the West Village to the Chelsea piers, stopping at the former homes of artists like Cookie Mueller. It was a joy to revisit the past seven years with Goldberg guiding me through my memories. For the reader not immersed in this community, the book constructs an archive of ephemeral conversations. One is privy to the inside of the “queer” art world as Goldberg centers this self-fashioned community and flips the terms of estrangement.

Ariel Goldberg’s The Estrangement Principle is out from Nightboat Books.
