hey i didnt rly pay much attention to that one meme but why did doctor han tell that guy that he couldn't do surgery? the one that was bad autism rep or whatever. he seemed pretty broken up about that.
btw "we've got literally forever to figure out what the rest means" is the most romantic shit of all time and I won't be hearing no one saying otherwise. if you even care.
Terry Crews broke into my house and said “Terry likes violence” in a sinister tone, and started wrecking all my stuff and drinking Coca-Cola bottles like rage power-ups. I tried to subdue him with a diet coke but he yelled, “Terry doesn’t drink that crap!”
I'm currently fascinated with a commonality with Neil Gaiman's work and his approach to relationships: they all are literally impossible.
Aziraphale and Crowley developed despite being on opposite sides, angel and demon.
Hob Gadling is a normal, ordinary guy from the 1400s, only able to meet the King of Dreams through a bet/experiment.
Edwin and Charles are both dead and existed 60+ years apart, only able to meet because of a "clerical error".
The Doctor is only able to speak to The TARDIS one time.
(haven't seen much of Gaiman's other work, please tell me if this pattern holds)
and I think that is saying something about how he chooses to use the fantasy genre in his stories. His relationships literally could never happen outside of fantasy, and that is what makes them all uniquely special to me. He decides to build his relationships on the foundation of what could be, while still making them feel real and keeping human emotion at the center of it.
Something that antis who "analyze BB as media that is meant to 'cause discomfort' by displaying shotacon themes" forget is that creative texts (be they in visual, textual, or audial form) are highly psychological in the sense that you can't perfectly measure out every bit of the emotional reaction you will get from your audience.
Yes, there are writers who will specifically want to make their reader question certain moral dogmas, concepts, and ideas. There are also writers who end up writing particular concepts into their story by sheer accident.
In case of BB, though, one can't say that Yana is trying to "make her audience uncomfortable" by showing Sebaciel dynamics because nothing about it is uncomfortable. She definitely wrote it in on purpose, but claiming that it is supposed to cause some sort of a deep discussion on how Sebastian is a Bad Guy is laughable; because S/C relationship is a positive one.
Sebastian is presented - directly, indirectly, symbolically - as Ciel's only source of comfort and protection. Yes, it is a tainted liaison because it's the Devil's sacrament. It's erotic, sensual, intimate - and it's utterly comfortable.
Sebastian is the only person whose touch is comfortable to Ciel. He's among the few adults he trusts being in his vicinity. He's comfortable being alone with him. Ciel heals through his sickened bond with Sebastian. Yes, Sebastian craves him in the flesh-based, primal way. Whether you view it as erotic, beastly, or morbid does not matter: Sebastian craves Ciel. And Ciel is comfortable with that.
Yana did not fucking write it for nearly two decades to have some goddamn idiot who knows nothing about PTSD come in and say that Sebaciel is meant to be a "gross thing causing people discomfort". Sebaciel is a part of the story in the sense, "Sebastian and Ciel have A Relationship: whether it's predatory, romantic, sexual, or anything along the lines doesn't matter, but it's ultimately positive."
it's murderer night, the one night a year where there's for sure a murderer. famously, the murderer will do everything they can to try and deceive you into opening the door, so i'll have to stay alert.
at midnight i hear a knock on my door. cautiously from my couch, i holler "who's there?"
i hear whoever's on the other side say "im a woman with boobs".
i contemplate this for a moment, before opening the door. on the other side is the most beautiful woman with boobs ive ever seen. but while im looking at her boobs she takes out a knife and murders me.
moral of the story: women can be murderers too so stay on guard.
oh AND my favourite thing about the show is that Edwin and Charles spent a whole ass 30 years being best friends without ever analyzing their trauma (Charles) or their feelings (Edwin)
I sent an ask a while ago about the colors on your background, and I only today found out they're the pansexual flag, which is gooberish because I'm pan •́ ‿ ,•̀
That's mb lmao, I haven't been keeping up too well with all of them
