Honestly, as a German I can not quite understand the obsession of the English speaking world with the question whether a word exists or not. If you have to express something for which there is no word, you have to make a new one, preferably by combining well-known words, and in the very same moment it starts to exist. Agree?

Because this came up in my life recently, a question:

To be clear I mean a spreadsheet in any program (Excel, Sheets, Notion) and for any reason EXCEPT for it being required of you. It could be cataloging stuff you own, categorizing characters in a show you like, etc. But it has to be something you chose to do without being paid or graded for it

Wind Breaker is one of my favorite shonen because it doesn't feel like a shonen at all and it's just a psycho-analysis of traumatized teenagers in gangs. And they're also gay.

So wait are livestock guardian dogs to their flocks like… Clark Kent among the residents of Smallville? He’s been here since he was a baby, we all know him, and he’s… generally one-of-us shaped, uh, approximately. And then when something goes wrong he suddenly leaps into action and does some terrifying impossible shit none of us could do. And then comes back home and settles in like nothing happened and he’s one of us again.

There's something just wrong about using the "slow burn" tag on a one-shot that's under 5k words. That is a firecracker.

Having experienced a lot of it in my 20s, I think some of the worst, pettiest, most straight up this-is-just-bullying-you're-passing-off-as-praxis incidences of Queer Infighting endemic to young people can be best understood as attempts to exercise power by people with very little power.

Like you're 22, you're queer, you've just become a Marxist, the scope of World Suck is overwhelming and you have $30 in your bank account. What can you do to feel like you have any power? Well, you can try to get your frenemy cancelled for cosplaying a character from a problematic show. You can write a public callout post over someone's obviously friendly use of a slur you don't think they technically have the right to reclaim. Doing this stuff can make you feel like you have power and your actions have an impact. Unfortunately the impact in question is a negative impact on other marginalized people. But that often takes some maturity and self-reflection to notice.

“The original orgies and bizarre sex were perfectly sufficient” I am always saying this

Not just hit, either. "Punched into next week."

chapter 183 spoilers

cw abuse? (hinted) domestic violence?

.......so this is a quite clear confirmation sakura was getting beaten up as a kid.

not only by peers. by adults, too. bc here, i don't think sakura expected kotoha or the other girl to punch natsuki — but yuki-sensei. maybe kotoha, in a way, bc she was the one talked to, but on a subconscious level. he did expect an older/stronger person to hit a younger/weaker one for the way the latter talks to the former.

such snappy replies happen when a kid doesn't feel safe, is stressed out, scared out of their mind. and sakura's instant uneasy reaction means that, whenever he showed his fear, he was getting hit. and apparently, it kept going — until he learnt to hit back.

...the crumbs about his past just keep SMASHING my heart omfg 😭😭😭

Purity culture shit pisses me off, and the Wind Breaker fandom on tiktok is a shining example.

"They're minors!" They're also fictional. And while we're at it, it is weird to me that you can draw the line between fiction and reality when it comes to the teenagers being part of knock-down, drag-out fights where opponents sometimes bring metal baseball bats to beat people shitless with, but not when fictional teenagers are horny?
