There's a deep irony in Berserk being so admired by people who really really hate what Berserk is about on an emotional level, but especially when writers want to take influence from it. Because Berserk is very strong thematically, and someone who can't acknowledge subtext is going to whiff on emulating anything good.

ok here. last post before i have to go.

Frisk is not canonically asian. theyre not canonically confirmed to be anything

the dots to connect are when you realize the fandom headcanons frisk (and Kris) as asian a LOT of the time.

do you wonder why? is it because of the yellow skin? or the squint eyes? the subconscious bias built into us into thinking Frisk and Kris are asian because of normalized stereotypes is pretty clear. why does no one headcanon Frisk as idk british and white? Frisk is not canonically asian. But the fandom tends to see them this way.

I never said Toby called Frisk Asian or that Frisk was canonically asian or POC. I said that drawing The humans as yellow is pretty close to yellow peril and racist stereotypes and thats a BAD coincidence. this is NOT right!! and look where its lead us, HCing Frisk and Kris as asian because its THT close to what we understand the stereotype is

HCing the humans as POC is not wrong, but you have to see why its really funny no one can connect the dots on why at least as a FANDOM we can do better. Toby hasnt responded so its on us to be smart about what were CONSUMING to. where did the “think critical” of your favorite things go? You can love Deltarune AND acknowledge this is wrong. Deltarune is literally a special interest????

i genuinely cannot take people who think taylor swift is straight seriously

honestly I see owning a pet at all as a massive red flag atp. I've never met a person who treats their pet like an animal with specific needs, everyone anthromorphizes them to hell and back and the result is just a really weird mixture of spoiled but at the same time severly neglected animal that makes its behavioural issues everyone's problem. and ofc you are the bad guy when you point out the issues and the neglect, it's never the insane owner

also 90% the owner is an anti social loser who can't deal with people and uses an animal that is forced to stick around for company instead

it's possible they're just scared shitless of you.

AS SAID BY VARRIC TETHRAS 

"Is that so?" she asked, a little dejected.

"I don't get why, it's not like I go around gallivanting about to throw hands with random strangers."

That's not what she means, Cynthia.

“Because we’re cursed. The men of our family — cursed to love too much.”

“That’s fucking bullshit,” Wei Ying spits into the heavy silence that follows Xichen’s words. “That’s — Xichen-ge, sorry, sorry, but that’s? That’s literally fucking insane, what the fuck. Your dad never had a problem with loving too much. Not when he could treat you guys like that, let alone your mum. Not when you —  Lan Zhan loves too much, that I could buy, maybe, because he, he loves me the most anyone has ever loved anybody [..] and — that’s. He’s. Take some fucking responsibility, you know? Get a fucking grip, cursed.”

so true, wwx

No words or phrases can sum up just how vile, how inhumane, how disgusting, how insane and dystopian this all is. Could you imagine if, today, this happened to America? (literally battle of the bulge) England? Any other place that's not in the Middle East? News outlets would have a field day and Instagram would not be conveniently glitching. Again, I cannot put into words how INSANE it makes me feel that people are not talking about this more - no words would do justice to what I am feeling

I learned a long time ago that people just do not care what happens to us because of our pigment, but hell, it's still so fucked up. How can anyone who's really human, through and through, truly wrap their head around any of this?

If you haven't woken up by now, I don't know what to tell you. I know others prefer to be looser with how much time they give people to change, but I'm straight up telling you you're a disgusting person if you can see everything that's happening and not give a single fuck. I don't care about your excuses, they mean nothing

ya know what, wishing a very fuck you to everyone who voted outside of the democrat/republican parties instead of for kamala. you knew they wouldn’t win, that it was between kamala and trump, and you’re complicit in his victory. try to moralize it all you want, but that’s the truth. we’re in a battle against fascism and you directed resources away from the fight to soothe your own ego and now we all have to live with the consequences. you think you can convince trump to stop aid to israel? get your fucking head out of your ass. more and more people’s lives are in danger and you. are. complicit.

One particular facet of zionists-- especially online, especially on tumblr dot com-- that is so grating is that they are so incredibly self-absorbed. Condemning a war crime? Must be about us, genocide defense time! Talking a out capitalism? Well the term "they" was used so it must be referring to an antisemitic dog whistle, genocide defense time!

They simply cannot fathom the greater legacy of western settler-colonialism that isntreal is only one piece of, and they weaponize their willful ignorance & squint for antisemitism that doesn't exist in order to (actual antisemiticly!) equate Judaism with zionism to justify continued genocide & ecocide. Being called a nazi by someone asserting that blood libel about jewish people is true is incredibly fucking rich!

Add on cause i like background:

You once wondered how your great gran knew all this. Back when all this first started and you got your first delivery of a fish with more eyes than needed and a nest of spiders. The answer is in the book, in the scattered rambles on the pages.

Your great granpa is a sailor. He kept a rather short route and was in the small cottage he and your great granma had more than other sailors got to see their wives. Like your crew his requests for food changed over the time. Apparently his looks changed too but your great granma never elaborated other than saying he was just as handsome as ever and that the next neighbor that screamed when seeing him was going to get to know her. (The third recipe after that involved a lot of meat and you don’t question it.)

That’s the story. Your great grandfather is a sailor and your great grandmother cooks for him. One day the cottage was found empty with only the book left on the table. That night people saw a ship leave port at low tide.

There is only one warning your great grandma put in, other than the usual food warnings. “Look at them with love or don’t look at them at all.” You like your crew decently enough and you’re duty bound to your position enough to not abandon ship. You don’t think you can love them quite as much as your great granma does though. By the way she talked at the surprise meeting last month you’re not too sure if even her love saved her. Or perhaps it did. Having to always be fundamentally different from your partner must be a form of torture after all. You’re a bit glad that your great grandparents don’t have to know that pain anymore. You flick another page. For 200 years by the sea this book is still in excellent condition.

Cooking horror game where you play as a cook working in the galley of a ship in the 1800s. There’s some kind of supernatural nautical horror story going on in the background but you barely notice this because you spend all day cooking in the galley.
