#we aren’t just bodies

[vizthedatum]

I came home, and I want to throw up and cry. And not just because I’m sick or because of narcissistic abuse.

It’s because I’m channeling my human right of being righteously angry at the audacity of people who can just use others, especially those with visibly less privileges, and just… leave them.

It’s so stupid - like there’s no common sense?

No empathy?

And I know. I’ve known since I can remember as a young child that there are people who walk around like empty husks or self-involved assholes who pretend to be good to just placate their need to be seen as “good.”

And I will still be angry even while knowing. And I feel fucking good about it. Because if I stay angry, I can actually do something about it.

And I am.

What the fuck are YOU doing?

George Floyd should be here today, alive and well and celebrating the first Memorial Day that feels normal after the pandemic.

Minneapolis shouldn’t be (still) traumatized to this day after watching a murder in cold blood.

But Derek Chauvin should still be in jail for being a shit pig.

Rest in peace, George. The world needs to do better, still.

i understand that it’s inherently a curse because of the sim’s ’target audience’ but. man. i’m getting tired of the state of mods and cc

like where the weird shit. the personal self indulgent cc and mods not catering towards a public release so it can make a bigger patreon paycheck. the crazy experimental stuff done for the hell of it - where this is no ‘why’ but only ‘why not’

why did the people who came here from SL end up being the annoying capitalists who can’t retopo (much less even decimate) their meshes, instead of the cool wacky creative alternative people

fauci saying “vulnerable people will fall by the wayside” and that some will die but that’s ok because we’re not going to see the “tsunami of cases” we’ve seen before is so dehumanising. so babies with no immune system, elderly people, disabled people, and people without adequate access to healthcare can all die of covid. but it’s ok guys because actually they’re just falling to the wayside and everyone else will go back to normal and be fine (sarcasm).

my death or the deaths of my family or friends wouldn’t be us “falling by the wayside”, it would be us being failed by our government, healthcare systems, and communities who have refused to take coronavirus seriously despite mounting anecdotal and scientific evidence of the harm this virus does. fact that people can accept the deaths of vulnerable groups just because they want to eat in a restaurant or don’t want to wear a mask is horrifying

all I’m asking is for one of you bitches to write a best selling novel with enough cold/sneeze scenes for it to be horny and sexy to this community but wouldn’t make a vanilla suspicious. oh and i want it to be fantasy and a love triangle thank youuuuuuu

[bambeebirdie]

This is for @bluepeachstudios ‘s Ghost in a Shell. It’s really good you should read it.

I looked at exactly one picture of Jupiter Jim and went “yeah this should be enough to draw him.” I will not be answering if it actually was

Have some bonus content under the cut!

And sketches

(I love any character who can say “I don’t want to go back to prison” it’s like the funniest thing to me)

[epicwin64]

This is insane. I didn’t know 6 characters on screen at all times without noticeable frame drops was possible.

Heyooo so like do you think you could explain the Someya brothers relationship? It’s peaked my interest since the new songs with these two revolve around each other…

Yujiro and Koichirou aren’t related by blood, right? 🤔

Also, what do you think about the new songs that just came out?

Thank you so much for your time 💛💛 Happy New Years 💕

hi! happy new year~~!

this got kinda long so there’s a cut here for length sorry~~~

ngl i’m kindaaaaa fuzzy on the details about the someya bros’ relationship, but long story short, they’re stepbrothers (with koichiro spawning from the resident longleg tamagoro and yujiro being tae’s son, of course) who were kinda pitted against each other when it came to learning how to perform (kabuki) from tamagoro, because longleg’s gotta longleg ig.

then yujiro gets disinherited because the longleg’s still longlegging and koichiro takes to the kabuki stage by himself as the local “national treasure’s” sole heir. so, like, i’m guessing that the events surrounding yujiro’s disinherition may have led to their (frankly terrible) brotherly relationship of “an inferior older brother” and “a superior younger brother”?

though this dynamic carried on pretty much for as long as yujiro longed to perform on a kabuki stage, just like koichiro does (if we were to take the lxl movie’s word for it). then yujiro became an idol and started to work towards a different dream, breaking off from the path (kabuki) that he used to follow koichiro down, which i guess made koichiro start to see yujiro in a different light?

like, imagine you have a lifelong rival who strives for the same goals that you do. however, this rival of yours is less skilled than you, so you naturally grow to have a sense of superiority over your rival, taking satisfaction in crushing them while having full knowledge that they will never be able to beat you when it comes to your shared goals.

however, one day, your rival decides to aim for a different goal, completely ditching your shared goal and stuff, and they actually seem to be doing pretty well in their path to achieve their new goal. how would you feel?

because i get the feeling that koichiro’s initial response to that was to feel betrayed, in a “why are you running away (from kabuki)?” sense.

though, over time, koichiro seems to have gradually come to terms with yujiro’s idol activities, and their relationship naturally (albeit slowly) improved as the days passed, with them going on walks together and bickering with each other like brothers would. which, y’know, is cool of him in a way. he’s learning. he’s still kind of a brat, but he’s growing despite his past mistakes.

as for yujiro, well, he seems to have been looking out for koichiro in his own way from the very beginning? like, man chose not to go against koichiro’s mistreatment, opting to just lower his head and accept it instead.

was it an act of self-sacrifice to protect koichiro’s ego or something? heck, even in the lxl movie, he just took everything koichiro dished at him, and only fought back when koichiro dared to mock his bf aizo. which is. pretty unhealthy, yujiro bro. just tell him you have a proper brotherly love for him for goodness sake. your communication skills s u c k.

um. anyway.

tl;dr: stepbros made to learn kabuki because of their father. older bro gets disinherited, younger bro gets an attitude and mistreats older bro. this continues until older bro becomes an idol and begins to walk his own path. younger bro feels betrayed/annoyed at his older bro for “giving up” on kabuki. younger bro does eventually accept the fact that they have different dreams and supports older bro. seems like older bro has always been looking out for younger bro though, even though he doesn’t say it.

thoughhhhhh seriously, i’m not a someya expert or anything, i just like making fun of the longleg, so… if someone with a degree in someyaology could chime in, it’d be greatly appreciated~~~

as for the new songs, nagisa’s new song is the best of them all, no question. thanks for coming to my ted talk—

Extremely counterproductive preaching body positivity while also making fun of a skinny person for having no boobs or ass. Hate to break it to you man but:

1.) Fat people can have no ass and/or boobs too and you acting as though all fat people have prominent “sexy” features is both false and implies that it is only acceptable to be fat if your body can be sexualized.

2.) Body Positivity means treating any and all body types with acceptance rather than judgement, even if you don’t find the person in question to be “attractive”

You can’t pick and choose which body types to praise and which ones to demean when it comes to being body positive. Otherwise, you aren’t being body positive. You’re just being body semi-positive, which is entirely different and misses the point of the term.

Hey google, how do I reconcile my gender dysphoria and my idea of what’s considered to be an attractive and desirable man?

… Google?

Hello???

i fucking love Boundary Aoi and hanako's Fake Bitch Off in the sacrifice to the grim reaper arc bc it's such a simultaneously fun and heartbreaking insight into both of their characters. and it’s especially both fun and heartbreaking if you view it through aoinene glasses and aoi’s just fully in her jennifer check era like “oh? 🥰 my girl best friend is paying way more attention to the boy she likes than me? 🥰 well I have demon powers now and I’m going to kill both of them to cope 🥰🥰🥰” like,

hanako really tries to be like ☺️💕 without help? ☺️💕 that's strange ☺️💕

and aoi's just like ☺️💕 cute ☺️💕 but I invented being fake pleasant and also I’ve loved nene way longer than you ☺️💕you will not beat me at this game ☺️💕die ☺️💕

and good for her <3

(tbh I don’t fully get what was up with that vial and how much of this is aoi vs the effects of whatever happened to her, but very fun and interesting nonetheless lol. and I repeat: good for her <3 )

don’t understand the support for AI generators like MidJourney etc when it’s quite literally taking art from artists who have not consented to having their art replicated

u cannot copyright ur “AI art.” think abt why for just a millisecond. it is ok to say u like using programs or whatever but to claim it is “art” is insane to me

like it’s ok to just….. not create art. u don’t HAVE to be an artist. u can also create really shitty art & not share it anywhere. u rly don’t need to. there is nobody u need to impress with ur art. stop being a lil baby about not being able to play with ur new internet toy without ppl on the internet being a lil mean to u about it

[sunflowersolace]

terfs will say shit like “people with penises are incapable of feeling any emotion beyond rage” and think it’s the best most feminist take in the world. girl you are going backwards.

[boneless-mika]

When y’all act like reading comprehension on tumblr is the worst I can tell you’ve never read tiktok comments

A video can be like “of course it’s okay to collect anime figures of minors but I dislike the way this character was portrayed as sexual in the show so I no longer like this figure” and the comments are filled with people arguing with the statement “it’s not okay to make anime figures of minors” which was never even remotely said

“I like Sonico because she has a more common body type that most anime figures do not have” turns into “I personally despise skinny people and think you’re freaks”

“This video that said there are no excuses not to do x is incorrect because there are a lot of reasons to be unable to do x”, comments filled with people arguing the original post never said there were no excuses (or somehow magically imbued the sentence with “doesn’t apply to disabled people”) when the literal words they used were ��there are no excuses”
