Ask what?

Anyway I realized I still love Clack, so I'll probably still consume content of them.

Gosh thus Tumblr account is like 13 years old at this point. I don't know if the people I know are still around.

My peak was around 10 years ago when I was making Cloti content nonstop, getting involved in ship wars and all of that.

Just want to say I've already left FFVII. I hated what they did with the Remake. My interest in playing Rebirth is probably like 1/10.

I ship Cloti and all, but my love for the ship is not greater than my love for the individual characters in the original. The structural, narrative, and thematic problems of the new FFVII ruin my experience with this new timeline.

I ship these two and many feel the same

Thanks for this. I hate the misinformation floating around this aka Mikasa remaining a virgin til death. Massive copium by immature shippers who don't want to accept a person can have a second love.

Avoid the obvious. - The Jeankasa discussion

I'm basing my contribution on this article here because it picks up on the theories I've already heard and has a few new ones up its sleeve. ~*~ The first big discussion sparked this picture:

Mikasa is seen visiting Eren's grave, with a man and child with her. Judging by his clothes and hairstyle, one could assume that this man is Jean. The Child is adoptet-Theory: The first thing that comes to mind when I see Mikasa with a man and children is: She is married and has children. But there are also people who actually believe that Mikasa got the baby from Historia's orphanage... I can't really refute it. So I'll leave it like that.

This scene has now been animated in a fairly small format. But you can see the color of the hair and the color of the suit. Here, too, it is easy to conclude that it is Jean.

The Man is to tall to be Jean-Theory: Based on the second scene, in which the man runs across the hills with Mikasa, he is estimated to be a little taller than Jean. You can see from the grave scene in the manga, that the man is exactly Jean's size. Especially because the man appears taller in one scene, because the landscape is sloping and he is therefore walking on a higher level like Mikasa and therefore appears a bit taller.

Source There are two different versions of the scene where Mikasa lies in the grave. In the manga, she lies in a bed as lilies. she has her hands folded in front of her chest. In the anime, Mikasa wears a ring on her ring finger and her grave is made of roses. These same roses are also on her chest. The flower-theory: The flower theory includes two versions. The one with the white lily and the one with the four roses. According to the "White Lily Theory", these symbolize Mikasas purity. Says that she hasn't slept with any other man and will remain loyal to Eren until death. Qoute: They are chosen for both weddings and funerals and symbolize the renewal of the soul. They can represent purity, commitment and rebirth, so they are often used to express compassion. - Source To make it short. Lilies are grave flowers. That´s why they´re put in Mikasa's grave and not to highlight her chastity.

Four roses means "Nothing will come between us", so Mikasa will love no one exept Eren. Okay. Is this is the right meaning, as I found out myself. Source But I see one or two Roses und two other Blooms on this Grave...

Source

Besides, you never know what colors the roses were. This is also important to know. Therefore I would rule out this theory. The ring of purity-theory: Mikasa wears a ring on her ring finger that looks like a wedding ring. But opponents of Jeankasa claim it would is a chastity ring. Unfortunately, that can't work, because Attack on Titan obviously takes place in Germany. The last date I could record was the year 850. Source

The “True Love Waits” movement, which also included the chastity ring, only became active in Germany in the 21st century. So in our current era. Source

The pioneer of the chastity ring was the chastity belt: There is no clear evidence that the chastity belt was already known in the Middle Ages. It is believed to be a myth that was invented and spread in the Baroque period to paint the picture of the “Dark Ages”. Other stories say that the chastity belt was invented by the Doges of Venice in order to effectively collect tax debts from prostitutes. Source

So it's pretty unlikely that Mikasa wears a chastity ring. In that case it would probably be a wedding ring. The Hairstyle-Theory: It is often said that you can't even know that it is Jean, because many people have that hairstyle. For example, Armin, who is often portrayed as Mikasa's grief companion. To underline this, antis often use such images:

Source In one picture Armin's hair is flying back and in the other picture Armin has actually pinned his hair back. But let's be honest, folks. When you have two people to choose from. Jean and Armin. Who will you choose then? Someone who has this hairstyle naturally or someone who doesn't usually have this hairstyle except in a picture?

Especially because Armin must have had a really big growth spurt to be Jean's size. But fine. Let's play a round of "Choose the Color":

All in all, it also depends a little on the exposure. But which hair color is closer to that of the man at the grave? Armin's or Jean's? The man's hair color is ash blonde. A color that not everyone in Attack on Titan has either. So... It can't be Armin but obiously Jean. ~*~ Other arguments: Jean whould never betray Eren with marrieng Mikasa: Did Jean make such a vow? - No. And I don't need to cite any evidence that Jean was definitely in love with Mikasa. Mikasa only rejected him, because she was in love with Eren and he accepted that too. But Eren is dead. Why shouldn't he be allowed to marry Mikasa? In the AOT-Guidebook it´s stated that Mikasa's martial status is single: When is the book from and how old was Mikasa? Prove please. Mikasa loves Eren because of what is written on Eren's grave, her scarf, because she let herself be buried next to Eren, and so further: I don't understand this concept of "just one or the other". Just because Mikasa loves Jean and has a family with him doesn't mean she has to give up her feelings for Eren. She is still allowed to mourn him, think about him and talk about him with others? I don't understand how things like this are always taken as evidence of "Mikasa only loves Ereh." And Mikasa can be happy without Jean, but she can also be happy with Jean. So why does the obvious always have to be downplayed? WHY Mikasa has to be with no one exept EREN? Her hidden Bandages: Why should the bandages be evidence that Mikasa didn't pass the symbol on them to her children? Maybe she doesn't want to present the symbol to everyone. Maybe she doesn't want to pass it on to her children? Maybe she had already passed it on to her "adopted" children and still covered her arms? How do you know that those in the picture are even bandages?

~*~ It makes sense that Mikasa is married to Jean and has children. Family has always been very important to Mikasa. Especially because she lost her family twice. It was only thanks to Eren that she threw herself into the fight against the Titans. As you could tell from her dream with Eren, she preferred a simple life to fighting. She cut her hair, because Eren wanted it that way. It was supposed to protect her from the Titans. Jean, on the other hand, found this so beautiful about her. Anyone who wasn't struck with blindness could clearly see that Jean was in love with Mikasa and knew that his feelings were not reciprocated. But this certainly changed after Eren's death. Jean also dreamed of having a family with Mikasa and the child in Mikasa's arms looks a lot like a baby.

It is quite logical to conclude from this dream that there is a real wedding. Why would Isayama bother to draw a family when it really isn't a family? Then he could have easily drawn Mikasa alone at Eren's grave. But he didn't. Mikasa is married and the first candidate for a husband would be Jean. Not Armin, not Farmer-Kun or some random guy. JEAN. ~*~ Thanks for reading.

I haven't posted here in a while but geez the worse Eremika arguments I've ever heard:

- she might be wearing a purity ring for Eren

- she still has her tattoo so she doesn't have children to pass it on

So dumb lol. Japanese don't practice purity rings, and tattoos don't get erased when you pass it to your children.

Give this man more roles please!

It thinks I’m the threat. This is as far as I go. No more. This is it. DAKOTA BEAVERS as TAABE PREY (2022) dir. Dan Trachtenberg

[danseru-kun]

I find it funny when they think "but I love Ellen Ripley/Sarah Connor" absolves them of bullshit.

Ellen Ripley essentially just works in logistics/cargo but she did better than the armed special forces in Aliens. Nobody screams she's unrealistic and woke.

At first I thought we shouldn't be giving attention to a very small minority but when I looked around there's a sizable "anti woke" content against this movie.

publicly shaming anyone who has anything to say about Prey, if you're mad that the lead was a woman who could fight you're a fucking loser lmfao

be grateful we got a good predator movie for the first time in a long while

[danseru-kun]

this is as far as you go (PREY)

[danseru-kun]

Thank you. It means a lot. Tbh it takes a global effort to fight this, and we could use the west's strong cancel culture to force Facebook/YouTube to do something. Those big corporations are too busy earning money from addicted people. Also a lot of American and European politicians also benefitted from online disinformation so they're hands off.

@allsortsoflicorice We are in a really horrible situation right now, not in terms of immediate harm or violence but a gradual shift to fascism.

Marcos Jr. won the elections using troll farms for propaganda, not to mention all the election commission members are appointees by Duterte, whose daughter ran for VP. He's also backed by several political dynasties that suppressed opposition voices.

Academics, universities, journalists and activists are getting threatened by redtagging or currently being red tagged. There were also voter suppression via police/military that happened in provinces against progressive candidates.

One of the most important online libraries are closed down and the new elected government plans to rewrite history books to deny past crimes of the Marcos family. Our history is getting erased or modified to suit the current administration !

That rant got long but we are really at lost on what to do.

Mass online lynching is happing now on anything that goes against Marcos and Duterte. They're fueled by paid cyber propagandists and fanatics alike. Neutral leaning people are gaslighted by social media and swayed to side those with higher reactions due to bandwagon effect.

Experts, academics, journalists and people with outstanding credentials are now being cancelled here just because because they go against Marcos and Duterte's propaganda.

Facebook and YouTube need to be forced by western governments to DO SOMETHING.

This might be my last post for the night (char early morning na but anyway), so I will just post this:

To any and every non-filo here on Tumblr, whether you are my mutual or just someone who happens to see this post,

I hope this encourages you to not only look into what is happening here in the Philippines, but also into what is happening in your own country. In your own home.

Reblogging because the new government is gonna delete these

ESSENTIAL TRUTHS

READINGS ON EDSA/MARCOS

MARCOSES AND MARTIAL LAW

MARTIAL LAW LITERATURE

[danseru-kun]

I am too frazzled right now to check for more—will continue to do so once I have calmed down—but here:

I know there’s more.

I know there SHOULD be more.

Let every news outlet existing talk about the Marcoses, Marcos Sr’s Martial Law, Marcos Jr's disinformation campaign, and everything else in between.

Let them talk about Leni Robredo and her work as a lawyer representing marginalized individuals and as the Vice President of the country, about Kiko Pangilinan and his advocacy in improving the agricultural sector of the country, about Chel Diokno and how he and his father Ka Pepe Diokno have made contributions in human rights and pro-Filipino economic legislation over the years, about Risa Hontiveros and how she has constantly been advocating for Filipinos' quality of life and even authored the Mental Health Act, the Safe Spaces Act, and the Raising of the Age of Sexual Consent Act, about the other members of Robredo’s senatorial slate and other candidates who chose to run for a position in the government FOR THE PEOPLE.

Let them talk about how voting for Robredo and the others is not about bringing these people into power per se, but about the good governance they represent.

Let them talk about the Filipino people—not as the brainless sheep who deliberately chose to be ignorant, but as victims of a long-running and deeply-ingrained campaign that takes advantage of their ignorance and does everything to keep them ignorant.

Let the whole world know what is going on in the Philippines. We need them to watch us. We need them to listen to us.

We aren’t an isolated case. Like many others have already said, disinformation can happen to anyone, regardless of the country you are from. So read, watch, and listen.

Because your home can be next.
