If they separate Eddie & Venom permanently in Venom 3 I am 1000% pretending the movie didn't happen.

I do not vibe with tearing soulmates apart, I do not vibe with tearing husbands apart, I do not vibe with people who have found love through their suffering being made to lose that love and suffer more okay. Not at all and CERTAINLY not for the fate of a planet that hates them.

Eddie and Venom stay together for literally all of time in every universe and I will never accept a world where that changes. They live together or they die together. That's it. The end. Goodbye.

there have been multiple occasions in my life where i have started writing some sort of sexual fan fiction and then stop halfway through bc i remember how badly the characters have treated the women in their lives. sorry to yaoi warriors and all but im contractually obligated to side with women 100% of the time

[mikethebrave]

can i be honest. nicholas did well enough and clearly they cast him in rw&rb for a reason but he is just Not giving "gay as a maypole" imo. meanwhile taylor is over here with the tender unconscious bg touches and REAL kissing and hip thrusts and grabbing at him, really serving that bisexual king alex & "i'm just as comfortable kissing male coworkers as i am female coworkers" realness. watch nicholas in the idea of you and then watch rw&rb. he put his whole actorussy in kissing ms hathaway and yet none of that flavor and raw intimacy is found in his gay shit............. so very sad to see. i hope this will not be the case in the sequel :/

so tormented that i am currently working on two different stories about ex-druggie chicagoan jewish guys being in bands and supernatural forces fuck everything up. one features actual G-d and a messenger Angel is a central character and the other one has ghosts and shit.

the two are different enough that they are separate characters but similar enough that it's obvious that they are both based on myself. i'm doing bad btw.

when it comes down to it, people who face queerphobia and people who face misogyny, will always benefit more from solidarity than from the 'divide et impera' tactics of reactionarism.

no known society that weaponizes queerphobia for scapegoating ever remains a defender of womens' civic rights for long. tyrants will, bio-specifically, curtail female reproductive & financial autonomy after they don't have LGBTIQ or ethnic minorities to crack down on politically.

i know this is just a way smaller symptom of the much larger problem with erasure & i know barely anyone even talks about these characters but it literally pisses me off SO much when people depict the original two 2004 vocaloids Leon & Lola as a little blonde blue eyed literally #FFFFFF white boy and barely tan, ashy skin straight haired girl. their voices were sampled originally from black singers and they were marketed as soul voices. i've certainly seen some AWESOME designs by other folks that correct this, but it just sucks so fucking much that those are the most widely recognized interpretation of them to the point that people have been confused or upset on occasion when people have used other designs for them. guys you have miriam too. certainly shes enough whiteness for you right. you dont need to make the other people white right.

it also sucks that since then, vocaloid had pretty much zero black vocalists until Chris & Amy in the base V5 pack (with the exception of CYBERSONGMAN (the whitewashing i've seen with him while not as bad as L&L is absurd too)) and even then they're very underutilized. I suppose from a musical standpoint I would get not using the base voices in general because in my opinion they're not very well done in comparison to vocalists created by other studios, but they can still produce a great product if you work with them correctly, and they're definitely still used less than the other base voices.

I think thats one of the many reasons why in recent years the community has made a slow but major shift over to SynthV and other programs instead. The available vocals are far more diverse and the available language selection is better than what vocaloid had made available within 20 years of existing. I'm not much of a fan of the upcoming SV2 because of the further integration of AI features(Personally- the "AI" part of the current SVStudio is fine to me. It's less "AI" and more an algorithm that uses and EXTREMELY extensive number of samples from the voice provider compared to the basic voices to find what sounds the most natural, it's off-network and all created consensually)(but whatever im not paying for it anyway. yar har har 🏴‍☠️) related to tuning and the lack of manual pitch control. For a lot of vsynth producers tuning is part of the art and considered a signature part of their style but this is a tangent and kinda losing relevance to what I was talking about.

My point is that I'm glad to see the tools available to vsynth artists diversifying, but as with any community i think there's still a problem with erasure left over and though they are fictional characters and not real people, and even if it doesn't matter to you, their representation and respect is important both to the real people they represent and to community as a whole

I know I've likely already talked about it before, but. Garp has always believed in Luffy. He knew, nearly better than anyone else, what it took to thrive in this world. He'd seen Roger. He'd seen himself. But just as he knew Luffy's strength, he knew the forces that would work against his grandson. His fears had always taken the priority, his stubborness in refusing to acknowledge anything else triumphing any possible hope of Luffy's survival.

But the timeskip, after Marineford, Garp has become fully supportive of his grandson's endeavors. The point of his desire for Luffy to become the strongest Marines was in order to protect him, but following everything that's happened — Enies Lobby, Sabaody, Impel Down, Marineford — even he can tell that Luffy's long gone past the point of return.

There's grief. There always will be. But more importantly than that, after years and years of fighting it — of fighting Luffy — Garp has finally decided to put his trust in his grandson and the crew of misfits he'd acquired.

And he's proud of his grandson. He's so openly, enthusiastically proud of Luffy following the timeskip and he couldn't give less of a crap of who doesn't like it. It thrills him whenever he finds someone who likes Luffy, one of his crowning moments being when Shirahoshi only acknowledged him as "Luffy's grandfather". He'd never wanted the title of Hero, even if it was incredibly convenient, so if the world remembered him as nothing more than Luffy's grandfather, he would die happy with that.

i am very tired by people discussing transitioning as this sort of journey of self-actualization. happy it was like that for you but personally it was just better than not transitioning. i do not feel that i went on a beautiful journey of self-discovery so much as did what made me the least suicidal. to be fair, i was also 11 when i came out, so perhaps i would feel more purposeful about it if i had been in my 20s or later.
