Once you become a certain age, it is your responsibility to unlearn behaviors that hinder your growth as a person.

Klaus is me

I was obsessed with Klaroline because they're both me and represent my inner BPD struggle

SessKagu manga masterpost

(I apologize if someone else has done this before ^^')

ch. 163: SessKagu meeting for the first time. Kagura wonders aloud if Sesshomaru might be able to defeat Naraku.

ch. 203: Kagura offers Shikon jewel shards to Sesshomaru in order to defeat Naraku. Sesshomaru declines and asks why she doesn't do it instead. Kagura is indignant and flies away.

ch. 318: Kagura approaches Sesshomaru to tell him there's another way to the otherworld.

ch. 321: Kagura shows Sesshomaru a gate to the otherworld and then observes from afar.

ch. 322: After seeing the guardians kneel before Sesshomaru, Kagura is sure he's the only one who can defeat Naraku.

ch. 342: Sesshomaru notices Kagura flying towards him. She offers to tell him a way to find Naraku's heart.

ch. 343: Kagura gives Sesshomaru a crystal that can locate Naraku's heart. Sesshomaru asks her if she's using him. She replies indignantly that he's the only one that can defeat Naraku and flies away. Rin says Kagura likes Sesshomaru.

ch. 350: Kagura flies towards Naraku's heart but gets attacked by Moryomaru. Sesshomaru smells her before she falls into a river. He wants to let her float but Rin won't allow it. Eventually, Sesshomaru has to pull Jaken, Rin and Kagura out of the river. After Kagura has healed and woken up, Sesshomaru wants to leave. But when Kagura tells him she found Naraku's heart, he finally looks at her.

ch. 351: Kagura tells Sesshomaru what she found out. Sesshomaru concludes that it's pointless for Kagura to continue since Naraku now knows that she's after his heart. Kagura wonders why she's still alive, then, and turns to leave. Rin stops her by asking if she doesn't want Sesshomaru to save her but Kagura denies, thinking she just wanted to see him one last time before she dies, and leaves. Sesshomaru watches her fly away.

ch. 365: Sesshomaru orders Jaken to shut up before he can tell Moryomaru that they got the locating crystal from Kagura, thus covering for her. (Thx @chickenstilldancing !)

ch. 371: Naraku confronts Kagura regarding her betrayal. Sesshomaru smells the both of them and flies towards them instead of going after Naraku's heart.

ch. 374: Sesshomaru finds Kagura dying in a field of flowers where she dies smiling, having been able to see him one last time.

ch. 406: Sesshomaru and the InuGang are fighting Moryomaru who keeps insulting Kagura and her death which provokes Sesshomaru. (The chapter is called "Wrath" after what Sesshomaru is feeling.)

ch. 407: Sesshomaru knowingly risks Tokijin because he's in emotional turmoil after Kagura's death and what Moryomaru said about her.

ch. 409: Being called by Tenseiga, Totosai approaches Sesshomaru to re-forge it since something new has been born inside Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru reflects back and supposes it's because of Kagura's death and Moryomaru's insult of her.

ch. 410: Sesshomaru receives the reforged Tenseiga and is immediately able to use Meido Zangetsuha. He thinks about Kagura and Moryomaru's words and decides that he'll be the one to determine whether Kagura's death was for naught or not. The moment he claims the reforged Tenseiga as his own, the wind blows all around him.

Let's help the general public become more like Chihiro!

[eleiyaumei]

near every fucking party in europe has moved to the right on immigration and are willing to sacrifice both undocumented people and documented/turned citizen immigrants to appease the far right hysteria. wake up, this is the issue of our lifetime, this is what we need to fight for, especially as climate change accelerates and makes much of the third world uninhabitable and as companies use undocumented labour as slavery. this is our hill to die on

[eleiyaumei]

This is so enlightening, thank you!

(And frustrating af since I've heard people talking sm about how wholesome the game is.)

Is there a particular reason why Wyll doesn't seem as popular as white(passing) masc characters like Astarion, Halsin and Gale or is it just racism*?

Like, Wyll seems to be the best guy out of the bunch to me

*racism of people and/or algorithms

SF/Fantasy/SciFi hot take:

If the worldbuilding of a fictional work legitimizes (e.g. racist, xenophobic, sexist, queerphobic) prejudices and discrimination from the real world, it potentially teaches or reinforces these ideas to its readers.

e.g. Narnia: For one, the world of Narnia presents the Biblic concept of humans ruling over nature as just and natural and by anthropomorphizing the animals they resemble dehumanized human groups, people, minority groups which are contrasted against the white human that rule over them in a monarchy. All of this resembles the ideologies that the British Empire used to justify their imperialism, colonialism and all the atrocities committed in that pursuit.

While watching S1, I was so confused why Ekko didn't play a central role in and wasn't actively fighting for a revolution against Piltover.

This helped me understand why.

wtf Arcane

Okay, not having watched or played Rebirth but knowing Remake, the OG and AC, the phrase "her role as a Cetra" sounds like her whole species has a specific purpose on Gaia and that just reminds me of racist white supremacist BS (e.g. White Man's Burden and the Nazi concept of the Herrenrasse (Master race)) and since Japan has never deconstructed their imperial, colonial and genocidal history, this irks me a lot. (Also saying she's a Cetra even though she is only half-Cetra reminds me of the One Drop-Rule and irks me too.) But maybe if you explain it, it will seem different?

Aerith "actively choosing her fate" is not a change from the OG though and thus not profound and meaningful imho, especially considering how much seems to have been changed from the OG that mainly seems to focus on masc characters. Just wasted potential to make her more of an agent in the story than a sympathetic plot device.

Me b4 FFVII Rebirth: "Oh! This opens up the opportunity for a character arc for Aerith where she struggles to accept her OG fate and might even try to defy it!" Rebirth (from what I've seen): *focuses on Cloud/Sephiroth/Zack and fridges Aerith* Me: ". . . I shouldn't have expected so much from Japanese men in a cishetmen-focused game genre in the first place."

(Feel free to correct and educate me on this if you played or watched Rebirth!)

Defenders of biological essentialism in fae fiction always excuse it by saying "Fae are another species and have a different understanding of gender from us."

Why are they not concluding from this argument that there should be all kinds of genders in fae societies then?

I feel like romantasy is as festered with heterosexism and lacking scrutiny towards traditional gender roles as otome games
