ugh, the hero keeps talking about being a pacifist who'll never stoop to my level and i'm starting to get worried that she's gonna sentence me to 1000 years in the torment crystal instead. i heard her mentor talking about mirror dimensions the other day and i'm gettin worried. next time she has a gun i'm gonna try and pull the ol' "you wouldn't shoot me, you don't have the guts" trick and hope it works.

i used to be such a hater but now i feel like i'm transitioning into being more of a liker bc sometimes i see posts on here and the hater levels are offputting in a way they did not use to be

[billiuspendragon]

honey? i looked in the files and i noticed something strange. your theme is called "the woman who must kill him" and mine is "he who must die in his lover's arms". weird right? like first of all, my pronouns are they/them.

When people say Watari wasn't using L to make money off of him so I pull up this panel. This was before he started solving murder cases.

When someone says there's no way L had a traumatic childhood before his time at the Wammy's house so I pull up this panel.

If no one cared to give him a name beforehand, it doesn't seem like he was having the best upbringing.

Like how was he able to take down a bunch of kids so effortlessly? Where did he learn to defend himself? Did he have to learn how to defend himself out of necessity?

Also It seemed like he never had his own room before. So did he have siblings he shared it with? Or was he in another orphanage beforehand and shared the room with the other kids. But if that's the case, how could he be in the system without a name?

(Also do all the rooms in the Wammy's house look like a prison, or is it just L's room?)

OOC POST

Aged down Shenanigans!

I did some drawings of Yuuma and Kuriko during their aged down arcs, and wanted to share them! I already sent the first one to Sawakita's account but I'd like to share it here too.

This was a really cute (and sometimes angsty) arc, I loved having the characters look after/hang out with each other's childhood selves and get to know each other a bit better in the process!

btw there's nothing wrong with intergenerational friendships and it is in fact super important for teens to have healthy, respectful relationships with the adults in their lives because it will help them more easily identify when an adult is being toxic, manipulative, or otherwise unsavory if they have healthy relationships to go off of.

"A grown ass adult shouldn't have anything in common with a teenager" okay so you're either operating off of an assumption that either teenagers don't have anything of worth to contribute to a conversation, or that adults aren't allowed to have fun hobbies.

I talked to my teenage cousin for like an hour the other day about character motivations and the core themes of one piece and had a blast talking to her! She had some real insightful things to say!

Teenagers are fully realized and complex human beings! You can talk to them about music, books, video games, hobbies, etc. Stop being weird about it

On the subject about parents needing to control their child's reading and invade their privacy in order to "protect" them from "inappropriate material:

Until I was in....college? At least? The vast, vast majority of the books I read were either a) assigned by my school or b) (the vast majority of my reading) provided to me by my mother.

My mom is a librarian. She filled our rooms with books, picked especially for us. She pointed out books on the shelves in our home library (separate from our bedroom shelves) that she thought we would like. She bought us books for birthdays, Christmas, and just stacks of recommendations. She once paid me $10 to read one of the Cirque Du Freak books because she said I needed "to be exposed to bad literature."

She respected my privacy in room, didn't go through my belongings. She explicitly pointed out to us that she wouldn't know if we took a particular book of the shelf, as long as we returned it, if we didn't want her to know we were reading it. She purposely brought us books that she didn't care for herself, because she thought we might find them valuable or enjoyable.

And if we wanted to read something she thought might upset or disturb us, she would explain why. She wouldn't stop us from reading it - just ask us to check in with her, to talk through it.

And so when I read something that upset or disturbed me, I would go to her. She would listen and talk through it with me.

If she said she didn't think I would like something, or that a book might disturb me, or that she thought I should wait until I was older, I listened to her.

She didn't need restrictions or control to protect me. Because she proved I could trust her.

Controlling kids is never about "protecting" them. It's just about control.

absolutely love it when girls go "lately i'm obsessed with" and then say the most mundane thing ever

the nonbinary character requirement guide

if you're nonbinary and have all of these traits you are still cool imo. i just wish there was more nonbinary variety out there in the public consciousness
