i donāt think rhymeās relationship to her gender identity is particularly important to the larger picture of twewy, but i do think beatās perception of her as a girl, as his younger sister, is very very important. cause masculinity as equal to strength is important to beat, and it explains a lot of his relationship to rhyme. rhyme protecting beat, her kindness when they were alive, succeeding at pushing him out of the way in the same way beat failed, itās an indignity. rhyme, a young girl, his family, then his partner in the Game, like every category of āwhat a man should protectā, is stronger than beat. beat fails to protect her time and time again. and he resents that. that heās so weak. that she had to protect him.
liiiike, what kariya says to beat after ganking rhyme, ā[rhyme] isnāt gone because of us. sheās gone because of you. you failed to protect your partner. [ā¦] she protected you. gave her life for you. [ā¦] you want payback? then man upā <- thats what its all about. and āsheās gone because of youā stinging twice cause he failed and thatās why she was in the Game at all. later, as a reaper, beat says to neku āyou man up any yet? cause i donāt believe in hittinā women and childrenā itās cyclicalll and beat clinging to the ideal of masculinity in the face of his own powerlessness
#āit got oldā being pitied by my lil sister. so i pushed her awayā#itās an indignity!!! paved with good intentions but a blow to his pride nonetheless#beat#rhyme#twewyposting#twewy#daisukenojo bito#beat bito#rhyme bito#such to say. nonbinary rhyme could be real sure. but i do think her being a girl as far as the text is concerned is important#like as far as beat knows#the eng localization obviously uses she/her up the wazoo cause english is like that#but afaik in the orig jp rhyme isnāt obviously gendered until beat calls her his sister#so nonbinary rhyme is a fairly popular reading#which is cool and fine i just think it exists under fairly limited parameters without contradicting the text or undermining the bitoās deal#rambles#actually i recind that last bit. i think it works in way more possibilities than i first thought#but i do think ārhyme is out and their gender identity is respected without comment or any other changesā specifically Would undermine stuff

Cove every time he talks about being uncomfortable In social settings/not being able to properly express his feelings because they become too much for him:
Me: I know what you are (autistic)
#our life#olba#misty talks our life#olba cove#cove holden#i feel like not many people in fhe fandom bring up cove's autism which is a real pity considering 90% of his character#it's his autism fjskkskskdjs#like oh yeah the guy has tendecies lf going out without telling people he gets excited when you bring up the ocean and he needs to active#learn how to put himself in social situations#also he takes a very long time to socialize with people and becoming friends with them#i need to make a post about this but drive happiness and charity really display those aspects#cove: yeah im going to google how to make someone happy bc i have no idea how w/o fhe help of the adults in my life#me: oh my god.........

"A strong queen is just what this country needs!"
The Irish who know the queen in question as the famine queen:
#queen charlotte#queen charlotte a bridgerton story#bridgerton spoilers#a feminist moment for the ultimate anti feminist that was queen victoria#massive yikes just thinking of her involvement in the history of my country alone#over a million people starved & the British Parliament refused to accept financial aid from abroad#if they were offering more money than Victoria because they didn't want them to outdo the queen#and what she gave was pitiful considering her wealth#indigenous people as well as literal enslaved people across the Atlantic gave more financial aid than she did#yes bridgerton is fictional but the historical figures depicted had a real world impact#so much of which is still felt today#and just because Victoria was queen and not a king it doesn't make her crowning a win for feminism#Victoria historically was very very anti feminist#i don't know enough on george iii or Charlotte to comment on them but i know plenty about Victoria#haven't cringed so hard at a line since the famine episode of victoria the things i watch for leo suter#but as much as Victoria herself was portrayed inaccurately in that ep#at least it introduced the history of the famine to people who weren't taught about it at school#bridgerton

I feel like I need to know more about Todo and Yukiās relationship as mentor and mentee. Like they seem the same flavor of person which is very different from what gojo and megumi have going on.
But also Yuki is very adoptive ādadā coded in the way getoās relationship to the twins is very adoptive āmomā coded.
In that Geto seems to take on primarily a caretaker role than a mentor while Yuki is more a trainer and life coach than she is a caretaker. Which is something you donāt really see given to female characters in anime.
Like Todo lives by her words and fights by her example. Everything he knows about jujutsu she taught him and Todoās a very skilled and violent fighter and that reflects back perfectly on Yukiās own fighting style. Itās so very anime mentor itās insane she is just introduced to us as Todo (this absolute menaceās) teacher before anything else. Iāve never actually seen a female anime character be introduced this way.
in contrast to Geto who serves as the caring parent who was tragically taken from the girls violently and too soon and the girls wish to honor him and live how he would have wanted them too despite the ungodly situation they find themselves in. Which is such a stereotypical anime mom trope itās almost funny. He even fits in with the still very much in love with and still speaks highly of the father that abandoned the family in hopes that the kid will one day understand and forgive them. He is essentially the mom from Full Metal Alchemist.
Gege that fucking deranged cat actually flipped the script on us and itās so interesting which is why itās so frustrating how little we actually end up getting off yuki when all her little scenes point to such an interestnn in character.
She is introduced as one half of a crazy dynamic that we never actually get to see put to screen and thatās such a shame. Because Yuki is such a welcome addition to the tropes of female characters we need more female ādadsā
#am I making sense#somebody tell me if this makes sense#Iām half asleep writing this#not that thereās anything wrong with those moms but come on#have some pity on those mothers why are yāall always killing em off while the dead best dad gets to#thrive and be powerful?#sheās also still very feminine which is a nice m#her role in the story is just different#I just need more female kickass mentors that are also parental figures I donāt think this is too much to ask#gege when i fucking catch you#that fucking cat giving us amazing female characters and then never using them š#he just be spamming maki for real but atleast we get that#throwing thoughts to the void#gege akutami#jjk#justice for yuki and todoās relationship#jujutsu kaisen#yuki tsukumo#tsukumo yuki#aoi todo#todo aoi#todo jjk#yuki jjk#geto suguru#satsugu#suguru geto#Geto jjk#I donāt even care how but the damn cat needs to bring her back#or give us another flash back or something#just expand on the complete insanity that would have been these two running the streets together

This is not a CamChase post, but, I actually do want to talk about something I feel is deeply underappreciated by fandom, which is: Cameron and Chase are actually friends.
Long before they ever sleep together, all the way back in early S1. The two of them are almost always shown to get along! Cameron sticks up for Chase the entire Vogler arc, refusing (incorrectly) to believe he would rat, or that he should be fired. Chase, noted apathetic, actually tends to go out of his way to compliment or stick up for Cameron in early episodes: he passes along her good ideas to House (Maternity), defends her from House's criticism (Detox), and compliments her good ideas in Pilot and DNR, something he notable never does once for Foreman.
They get along! They have a joking conversation about lab results and House and Foreman's fight in Socratic Method. In Paternity Chase makes a sort of borderline inappropriate joke that the patient should take his mind off his pain by admiring Cameron's boobs; Cameron laughs instead of getting offended. In Sports Medicine, he teases her about her upcoming date with House. In Hunting, before the meth hookup, Chase is openly worried about her and asks Cameron to drinks; he even offers to do extra work so she can take it easy! Chase! The laziest man alive!
But to me, the most telling example is in in Mob Rules. We're at the start of the Hameron arc, and last episode Cameron asked House if he liked her, which he didn't answer either way. And what does Cameron do? She talks to Chase about it.
CAMERON: Did House seem weird to you? CHASE: Are you expecting him to be weird? CAMERON: We spoke about how we felt. CHASE: You told him you liked him? CAMERON: No, of course not. CHASE: What are you talking about, then? CAMERON: I asked him if he liked me. CHASE: Why would you do that? CAMERON: Becauseā¦ I like him.
They're friends! Chase reacts with zero surprise that Cameron likes House; she goes to him for advice in a moment she's feeling vulnerable. He already knows she likes House, Cameron wants his opinion. This is a conversation between friends.
In fact, this happens a few times. Notably, Cameron tries very hard to get Chase to open up to her in Cursed:
CAMERON: You know, parents are never as bad as kids think they are. CHASE: You like my dad so much, ask him out. CAMERON: [joking] Iād make an excellent step-mom, Iām very lenient. [pause] Heās your father, you never see him, and heās here. Unless heās done some unspeakable thing, you should lighten up. CHASE: Right, thanks for the tip.
And, yeah, she clearly doesn't get it, but she's trying! She's joking around, she cares. Cameron tries to get Chase's advice in Sleeping Dogs Lie, she commiserates with him in Deception, she unilaterally defends Chase in The Mistake. They joke around sometimes, she confides in Chase when the TB guy in TB or Not TB asks her out: Cameron goes to Chase for relationship advice! More than once!
These are conversations that do not happen with other characters: Cameron and Foreman indicate they respect one another medically, but never have personal conversations; Chase doesn't open up to anyone, period. But whenever Cameron is looking for advice or to share romantic gossipā¦ she goes to Chase. And Chase, for his part, likes to tease her (and she him: sex can kill you was 1000% Cameron trolling him), but honestly tends to beā¦ if not automatically sympathetic, he listens, he jokes about TB Guy, he knows about her crush on House and treats it like old news. They're! Friends! I would actually argue this is probably the main reason Cameron goes to him when she decides she wants casual sex: Chase is someone she, in fact, likes. Even if that liking is not romantic. (Even the btw we should have sex, I will never love you is uh. Unless you are totally deranged that is not how you approach a fwb situation. Unless you. You know. Know Chase isn't gonna be offended because he already knows you're friends and aren't trying to drag him.)
And this actually does continue once they do date, btw. They're constantly hanging out. Chase spends entire episodes of S5 just hanging out in the ER. He still likes to tease her (Whatever it Takes), she inexplicably/hilariously still ropes him into her House drama (Ugly), but I can count on one hand the number of times they bicker or are unkind and mean it. They are friends! They always were friends. And that was the case long before they ever hooked up. In an AU where they never dated, they would still be friends. Their (romantic) relationship was badly written, no one likes it, I get it. But honestly I really do love how well they got along in S1-2, and I wish people appreciated that friendship more.
#in this fandom people will make ships out of anything#say chase and 13 are best friends based on one and a half episodes#(i'm people btw.))#but cameron and chase legit were work friends for years before hooking up and people are like nooooo doesn't exist#no she hated him. no she only pity dated him because he browbeat her. no she never liked him.#maybe slash probably dating was a mistake but they were still FRIENDS FIRST#also i'm not trying to shade foreman or those friendships but for real#these are not conversations either of them ever have with him#which makes it even more striking how often cameron DOES turn to chase to commiserate or ask relationship advice#it really is not something she does with anyone else#ugh i get so mad#the camchase friendship is the true victim of the camchase ship#malpractice posting#allison cameron#robert chase

thinking about how akio sees his younger self in utena and wondering if there's any fondness there. doesn't change the horror of what he does to her obviously but i do wonder
#akio and utena#m#long ramble in the tags sorry:#the thing about akio is that he's so evil bit he's also so human#he has feelings. i just don't know what they are (if anything) toward his victims#he loves anthy at the very least i'm sure of that. even if he hates her too. just like she loves and hates him. the lines are blurry.#and i just. i have to wonder whether any of that extends to utena at all. we know anthy at times feels similarly about utena and dios#(and akio by extension.) the simultanious love and resentment. so it's not too unlikely i think.#like. even though he never had anything but bad intentions in getting close to her#i'm not sure it's possible to do everything he did and feel nothing#not that he has any meaningful amount of guilt or remorse for it. i don't think that.#and i obviously don't think he ālovedā her in any of the ways she might have thought he did#but did he not care at all? did he not feel any kind of fondness or sympathy or just. idk. pity? for her?#whatever the case it wasn't enough to reconsider having her killed so you know. how much does that actually matter anyway#idk. i think about it a lot. how abusers are rarely entirely indifferent toward their victims#the role he's playing in her life is so fucked up but it IS a role he's playing and i wonder how much he you know... internalizes it?#how much does he believe the illusion of family that he invites her into? because akio DOES often buy into his own illusions.#(similarly i think it's possible that akio is fond of touga too. their mentor-protĆ©gĆ© relationship is horrible and abusive#but that doesn't make it less real. you know? maybe real is the wrong word.)#when he talks in episode 25 about wanting utena and anthy closer that's obviously so he can continue to groom her#but is there something genuine there too? i don't know.#again. it obviously does not make anything he does better or even different. but it is interesting to think about to me.#on the other side of that coin does seeing his own past youth and naivete and desire to do good that he (maybe) once had#reflected back at him through her mean anything?#is there resentment there? that she is what he couldn't be? or more likely he just thinks that idealism is stupid.#either way it's something he wants to take from her. anyway ramble over.#i talk a lot about utena's feelings toward akio (familial vs romantic love and the way the two are intertwined in fucked up ways)#but not much the other way around. probably because utena is actually a sympathetic character whose feelings the show very clearly#wants you to analyze and think about.#which is... less true for akio i think. though he's still a complex character with complex motives. he's just harder to get a grasp on.

I want to briefly mention that if you are still waiting on me to get back to you with a commission update thank you so much for your continued patience. My grandfathers passing has taken a huge toll on me, and I've been having to support my family financially and physically through the last month (which is why I've been very offline). I WILL get back to you as soon as I can, and again, I really do appreciate your continued support.
#tai talks#this isnt a pity post AT ALL like i dont want sympathy im just being open about where ive been thats all#im starting to feel mildly like myself again which is bringing me back into social spaces a little more each day :]#not that you guys really need to know all this personal stuff. but i like you guys to know because i feel it keeps us real.#and also its a lot easier than messaging several people all at once ough anyways.#ill try to be more active :o)

Went hiking for the first time in over a decade yesterday. It was lovely but holy shit Iām so sore. I obviously didnāt stretch enough after. I want to go again on Monday because thatās the one day this coming week that shouldnāt be too hot but Iām worried my muscles wonāt have recovered in time.
#went for an easy walk and did stretches and drank extra water today to help#but itās still really bad#which is a pity bc I want to go again asap. Iāve always liked hiking#it was a very easy trail but it still took so much out of me bc Iām still not nearly as fit as I was when I was younger#but the fact that I was able to do any hiking at all is real progress so. yay!#but also. ouch#text post#my post

That chicory person you linked is not only a proud incest shipper (ew) but also amenable to fascist ideology in a way that far exceeds tastes in fiction. Of course, I don't expect better from Draco Malfoy likers. Honestly, I pity the lot of you. I can't imagine being grown adult women who are THIS bad at reading a children's series.
Unlike my boy Draco, I don't waste time engaging with people who degrade my personal character.
PS. I'm not a Draco liker, I'm a Draco lover. Do your research!
#anti draco haters#draco malfoy#pro draco malfoy#if you cant ask me a question without insulting me get lost anon#hp fandom critical#as for chicory i only post the parts of her meta that i find interesting#if you have an issue with her beliefs just ignore it and move on#I dont think she supports facism though#and she does not support real incest which is what ultimately matters#anon hate#anti self righteous draco antis#like i care one iota what you think#save your worthless pity for real world victims

One of the most uncomfortable experiences of autistic adulthood in my experience truly has been- either relationships/friendships, and the process of building them, need to be easier to navigate or I need to want them less because this no man's land is a special kind of lonely.
And it's not a vague post or pity post, it's just an observation re community building in a local sense. We're told it's harder when you're older, harder when you're sober, harder when you're xyz. But that doesn't take away the need for community or help with navigating the process of building it.
#its a bad brain day lads for many many reasons but im hoping to getnone or two coherent thoughts out#this is v much not a cry for pity just something im seeing over and over as i settle into my year 30 and my audhd#and talk to other ppl with tism . building real community is such a struggle and we aren't given clear guidance on social cues#which we knew going in from a life time of figuring them all out. but somehow i thought itd be easier by now. and it isn't#im still working on it I'm trying to get better and braver but how much of the work is my responsibility to carry#and how much can i hope someone else will bring tk the table#idk. might delete because ill get sick of looking at it#also might cross post and regret it immediately. we'll see.

Thorold, I should throw you to the wolves. But I wonāt. Iāll tell them that Father MacPhail is staying here to analyse what weāve found. And Iāll take the troops to pursue Asriel, and then you will leave.
#his dark materials#hdmedit#*#masriel#asriel x marisa#this moment is such an interesting addition i come back to it a lot sdfds#like her temper's all over the place but thorold got such a pass?#even after she interrogates him and gets no response#which would usually make her lash out#she throttled that one woman like the day before#is she assuming that asriel didn't tell him anything & pitying him?#but even that's a rare thing for her lol. thorold must have been a real dear to her back in the day#and the 'he's never treated any of us well' she's still sooo hung up about it all#still blaming him for the breakdown of their relationship#meanwhile thorold is justĀ š¶š¶š¶#and the deep inhale at the end when she puts all her emotions back in a box#my brain's just vibrating about them still idk

I'm trying really hard to give myself the room to accept my aromanticism despite being in a seemingly romantic relationship with my girlfriend but it's so hard because I know very few people will understand it
#like 'how can you be aromantic if youre in a relationship??' like damn idk bro im just out here loving and committing to people#what more do you want from me#but that sense that im not 'real' like i camt actually fit in to the community is so stronf#im worried that other aromantics will think im fake or misrepresenting them or something :(#or even worse that people will pity my girlfriend :( i know some already do because of my asexuality#idk how to respond to that because one hand i do understand that most people would not be in a relationship with me like this#but my girlfriend is in a relationship with me by choice which means clearly whatever compromise youre imagining shes making#to stay with me is worth it to her#otherwise she wouldnt have stayed with me for 2 years#lmao she has so many options too. like so many people like her and she still chooses me >_<

finally have an actual job so maybe I can stop being a hermit and get officially divorced and feel sort of financially stable and possibly try dating again and get a cat ??? is that allowed? no I probably shouldn't unless I get a bigger place and can have two cats to be friends
downside is when the fuck am I supposed to draw dumb comics if I'm working for hours and hours a day? Hell and suffering on earth. maybe i should get an iPad or a whatthefuck ever and draw on the commute so I don't lose even more of my meager art skills
#personal bullshit#i have never had what is traditionally considered a Real Job#this is my first 8 to 4 type job#tbqh if i could have just done teaching assistant work without the whole grad student shit that would have been cool#but i just couldn't anymore#no one there helped me when i needed it#a super huge fuck you to all of the mandatory training i had to do re: intimate partner violence and abuse#well anyway it's fucking done and who cares if i wasted 8ish years of my only life (:#now i get to help people make babies#which is not at all what i thought i would do#but hey at least it feels meaningful#and i get to wear scrubs all the time which is nice because they're kind of shapeless and make me look slightly more masc esp with binding#wonder if i could donate oocytes#im sure as fuck not gonna use them#might be too old tho#give bad eggs#also might have too much testosterone in my system now#0 idea how that works except at some point they expect me to stop menstruating#but my dumb reproductive parts are too strong too powerful will not be stopped by some pitiful exogenous T#anyway i really need to try to sleep#and stfu#but yeah maybe i can think about moving and getting 2 cats
