really hate the trend in many progressive circles where people diminish the suffering certain groups face by adding a caveat of "but dont forget youre not the intended target," or insist certain groups shouldnt even discuss their problems with "how dare you make this about yourself, others groups have it worse."

neither awareness, support, discussions, nor oppression are a competition or in limited supply. there is no reason to ignore or silence others to get more of the spotlight. you will only be aiding in others suffering by doing so.

Chy I'm so sorry about the Star Wars tangent. I hate being a Star Wars fan cuz half the time you have to watch people somehow have the unpopular opinion that "Anakin killing innocent children is good because they are Tusken Raiders" Like... No???? Wtf????? "They participated in the torture of Shmi" there's not a single fucking source for this. Sorry again for the Star Wars tangent.

It’s okay lol I never seen any of the movies or shows so I’m kinda clueless about the lore honestly.

||. was browsing through tags of a comic thor post and found this beauty in someone's tags:

i love the acknowledgement of odin as a godking above father & how that’s hurt thor not just loki

obviously, I won't name the person's reblog on this blog but it's something I've always felt is largely true about the mcu odinfam situation, particularly where the father and the boys are involved.

Odin's parenting style (being strict, and the all-father above just a father), hurt Thor just as much as Loki. They were both hurt by their parents and especially in vying for their father's approval. (aka: his affections, because really any child desperate for their parent's attention, approval, pride is really just craving unconditional love.) People seem hard pressed to believe that this sort of pain was exclusive to Loki... which I fundamentally don't understand. (Need I remind everyone that Odin didn't just say "you're unworthy to call yourself a king and a hero bc you're being selfish in your ambitions"... which is true. He also got a good, walloping "you are unworthy of the loved ones you have betrayed" TO HIS FACE before being stripped of his powers and banished to some backwater planet for an indefinite amount of time...)

The reality of the situation is Loki always had Frigga to lean on, confide in, and be in his corner. Even if it was off-screen, truth is that he told Frigga what he learned about being a Frost Giant the first chance he got. He confided in her his worry for Odin's health ("i never get used to seeing him like this"). She actively expresses support and validation in front of him in a way that Loki at least positively acknowledges even if he doesn't always receive the words, and while I don't believe Thor wouldn't have gained the same solace from his mother, I am of the opinion - based on (this deleted scene from "THOR") in particular - that she would give support in the same way she would with Loki ... and it never landed with Thor. Because Thor is not Loki. And Frigga doesn't always know how to speak to Thor so Thor can hear her.

So, really at the end of the day, whether it was true or not, Thor only had himself to emotionally rely on. Coupled then with being primarily under the express tutelage of an extraordinarily strict father who was priming Thor to uphold his own legacy, (apparently not be anything like Hela despite the two kids being polar opposites) and 'never seek out war but must always be ready for it' and then you get a sentiment that ultimately can be summarized in Thor's words at the end of Dark World when he comments his reason for surrendering his birthright of his own volition: "I would rather be a good man than a great king." (which, sidebar, but I am entirely convinced is Thor commenting on his father's way of ruling, his father's way of parenting, his father's way of being. And quite frankly, no, I don't think the real Odin would ever let Thor give up his birthright to go live on Earth when Odin is old, dying, and the whole of Asgard is primed and ready to follow Thor as their new All-Father.)

alt., in the words of comic!thor his (extremely mixed) opinion of Odin:

"A hard god, my father, but one who would move heaven and earth for his children. And did , quite literally, on many occasions. From Odin, I learned command. I learned the ways of the worlds and the godly arts of war."

How to get better at writing, things I’ve learned over the past year:

Write—the more you practice, the better you will get. 10k hours or whatever. It doesn’t have to be good, it’s practice! Post it and your commenters will tell you the best parts so you can do more of that.

Read—make note of the bits you especially like. Think about what you like about them. See if you can add some of that to your writing. Start small and let it grow.

Get a beta reader—one of my beta readers told me to put more of what the character was thinking into the dialogue, and it was my most popular fic by far. Another beta reader was like omg take out about half of the exclamation points. They can see little ways you can improve, and they’ll tell you!

Imagine if Xingqius book only was such a banger in Inazuma because half of it got lost in translation and the poor translators were so confused by the seeming nonsensicalness of this thing that they tried to make it make more sense, accidentally turning it into a successful and coherent piece of science fiction

SKFJSKFJKSJGNDS NOOO ID FEEL BAD FOR HIM <//333 i guess it was more cultural disconnect, in inazuma they're used to outlandish stories bcs theyve got the whole terrible isekai light novels market going on

Wai okay so like, one thing I wanted to add in that drawing but ran out of phone battery power and was racing against it, was the names of the cats. And also lil info on that big chubby black cat.

The big chubby black cat was Mel's first cat named Ace, and he was also the only cat Mel was supposed to have. But then Mel saw a couple of stray kittens, took them in. Heard bout senior cats not getting adopted in the shelter, also took them in. Saw more stray cats, took those in too. Next thing he knows he suddenly has 24 cats and still won't stop taking in strays but at least he gives those away to other loving homes now instead of keeping them.

He has their names themed. 12 cats named after zodiac signs, the other 4 black cats are named after playing cards to be themed with Ace's name (Spade, Diamond, Heart, Club). 2 cats named Cupcake and Muffin, 4 cats named after directions (North, East, West, South). And 1 cat named Palace. (He found this one nearby Alec and Ray's place and decided to name her following the theme of Alec and Ray's pet naming).

Cuz Alec and Ray has 6 cats and 1 dog (4 cats belong to Ray, the 2 cats and 1 dog belong to Alec. Have I told yall they live together? Well now I have. They also have a big aquarium with clownfishes and blue tangs in it. Finding Nemo yes) Also like wait, Alec technically has 2 dogs but 1 dog (her name is Diana) is living with his parents while the other one lives with them.

Ray's cats are named Princess, Prince, King, and Queen (my guy was also only meant to have 1 cat which was Princess oh but looky here, he ended up with 3 more). He roped Alec into following the theme with his own pets so Alec's cats got named Duchess and Duke with the dog being named Knight. Mel decided to follow that with his one cat and named her Palace. (Also like Alec wasn't even supposed to have any more pets other than Diana but Ray got him to get the 2 cats so Alec was like, yk what? i'll get a dog too why not).

On the topic of Olena's fashion, her stylist recently gave an interview to Elle ua. She explains the process of choosing the clothes and the symbolism that they have. (At the end there's a cute story about a meeting she had with Olena which Ze also joined).

Aaahhh, yes! Thank you, anon! Totally forgot to add that interview yesterday!

Really good read, everyone. Interesting and also some nice pics with details!

And true, the story was really sweet. Also loved all the lovely words she had about Olena. ☺️
