as far as my circle of mutuals goes, i think you're the only cishet guy around these days

We held a tournament, Highlander style, where we beheaded each other after climatic sword duels and absorbed the fallen's power. I am the Last Cishet who absorbed all of their power, known only by my title: Son Boy Allowed.

No but jest aside, that post did make me think of the times it's been brought up that I Am This in spaces where that's not the norm, and, well, each friend group or community has its own story, and in my case, it happened to be that the majority of people in my friend group & adjacent community, over the years, came out as trans mainly plus a few other identities, and while I did not understand it at all initially (even considered it could be catfishing, because I am from ye olde internet where catfishing was rampant and an olympic sport), my logic was "ok I love this person, they are asking me if I can refer to them as the other gender now, and that that's what they really are. There's not anything wrong at all with that, nor do I think this person I consider my friend could have nefarious intents with this, like catfishing, because I know them, so sure thing, let's go with that" and with time, I learned more and more about these topics, either by my own initiative (because I wanted to understand more) and when committing faux passes, because my friends would correct me or pull me to the side (send an IM) going "hey uh Drimo, you reblogged something pretty bad just now, are you aware?" "oh fuck no why" and I'd always get a helpful explanation.

Which brings me to the point: As a cishet dude, it REALLY helped me a LOT to understand these topics to have not only loving friends that live those lives, but to have said loving friends that live those lives and are willing to assume that my fuck ups and oopsies were born from ignorance and good faith, not from a hateful and discriminatory hill, and who then kindly informed me of X and Y.

So I have to agree with that post! At the risk of sounding self-aggrandizing, I do think being able to tolerate the misteps of a well-intentioned cishet guy who might not know all the 1s and 2s of the dance does in fact directly correlate to healthy, cool friend groups and communities. Over the years, the majority of my net friends have come out as trans, and a few others as non-binary and genderfluid, and I've never really had a situation where someone blasted me for my misteps, instead explaining What Happened instead. I've learned a lot over the years, and in fact, as a therapist, I've helped trans kids come out and have explained the whole shebang to their parents, but as a cishet guy, again, initially this was all very arcane to me, so I am always thankful for the people that took time and care so we could remain friends and so that I could grow to be a more worldly and open minded person.

Hundred Line thoughts?

Takumi spends the game hanging around Nozomi and imposing his feelings of Karua over the top regardless of her thoughts

Yugamu doesn't do this

Nozomi is closest to all members of the Second to Last Defence Academy

Nozomi and Yugamu make the poison to take on invaders in multiple routes without talking to anyone else about it

A certain box route implies it's normal for Yugamu and Nozomi to speak in private

In conclusion, Yugamu is a better het partner for Nozomi than Takumi.

-

Fact: Takumi is very druggable.

Fact 2: Takumi is open to polyamory even if he doesnt get it

Fact 3: Hiruko is poly.

In other conclusion, Hiruko can forcefem Takumi to make the yuri zone bigger.

Sakiko hasn't committed murder, but you can definitely argue that she was the inciting incident behind it

WHAT THE HELL HAPPENS IN AVE MUJICA

[valhallakonbi]

Sodachi and Nadeko!

[yukification]

happy episodes are ahead. keep watching

You’re trying to trick me. The next episode is going to be twenty full minutes of Mutsumi getting pushed down the stairs

[baron-von-tibbles]

give an opinion on Tsubasa, then!

a petty part of me would genuinely like a version of the show with her as the protagonist instead of Kyomi 🤷‍♀️

Tsubasa Vamp is genuinely such a compelling idea imo

I genuinely think people down-play her queerness, like, projection (trans) and headcanons (dyke) aside, she is bi and she and Senjo had such an important relationship and people seem to forget that

happy birthday!

YAYAYAY THANKU ANNA ⁠♡

[m0thmachine]

welcome back

Thanks! It was quite the summer

[nasuversekinkmeme]

there's a common theme in prompts for this kinkmeme, so the opposite of that: let's get some non-Fate characters being asexual

Tsukihime, KnK and Mahoyo fellows, your time to shine!

ntrlily: manau su vaizdo žaidimų piratavimu viskas gerai

ntrlily: tipo net jeigu tiesiog nenorėjai mokėt už žaidimą viskas gerai

studentofetherium: kartais atsisiunčiu dalykus kurie man net neįdomus vien tam kad pajusčiau piratavimo internetu jaudulį

ntrlily: mano požiūris į tai svyruoja kažkur tarp neutralaus ir pozityvaus

i think video game piracy is fine

i've always been a Kagurabachi hater

oh, yeah, don't get me wrong- i think it's super-whatevs, so it amuses me when it's like, basically down there with supreme dreck like Drama Queen

the Gen Urobuchi having no experience with magical girls thing comes from a quote where he talks about how he hadn't seen Precure before, and watched Heartcatch shortly after Madoka aired, and admits that if he had seen it before, he would have written Madoka differently

Oh that does sound like something I've heard before, sankyuu! I can see how that can spiral into a bigger assumption through a game of internet telephone.

[loopingpyre]

magical girls?

Biggest issue with magical girls is that they basically just fly, not enough vehicles and gizmos.

although would you want to be riding a bike in that kind of outfit? it doesnt even give you a tactical advantage! And itd be a pain to animate.

the other username was scary

this one might be scarier

[redlerred7]

Hmm. That's a tough one tbh.

The first character that comes to mind is probably Nadeko. I do feel like people who meet me IRL immediately form expectations of what kind of person I am and I sorta just cave into those expectations. I'm not shy, soft-spoken, and "cute" like Nadeko is so the expectations for me is different. I look like a non-threatening, decently dressed twink who doesn't raise their voice. People assume I'm a cheery, polite, nice-guy and they try to make small talk with me constantly. Unbeknownst to them, I bristle with petty rage at every human interaction I'm forced into. I feel thought-endingly miserable whenever a store clerk, cab driver, or some rando in an elevator tries to talk to me with no goal other than to fill the silence. I'm always tempted to lash out, but I don't--that would be rude. Instead, I play the part of the polite little boy who will engage with whatever topic they happen to bring up, even though I absolutely despise it.

Oh, how I wish my resting face didn't look so alert and inquisitive.

I've had a thought for an article to write, and it requires input from other people, so:

if you relate to a Monogatari character (or multiple), tell me why! it's okay to not get too personal, but i want to hear what connects people to the characters they love

Holy shit? They’ve got a whole set of paladins this is awesome
