Is this me or is Vex looks like he's covering his ears?

dr who is (apparently) redesigning this turtle from the classic series to be just a green human elf lady instead and twitter is eating it up because "no one would take the show seriously otherwise" and "the audience isn't able to empathize with something that doesn't look human". another fascinating data point in the psychology of doctor who fans.

Part 2 of my Tamlin and Nyx mating bond adventures

Nyx is a sweet lil guy who has never known hardship.

Tamlin can already hear everybody yelling at him.

I like to think Tamlin secretly enjoys being around someone who doesn't hate him for once.

I think it's interesting how the names The Ruler and La Redresseuse have very different connotations despite designating the same akumatised villain.

The Ruler is more about Nath's mother having the power to decide what she thinks is right and refers to her being an architect, working with a ruler and always wanting things to be very straight (pun intended)

La Redresseuse (~the rectifier) on the other hand feels much more insidious, because it's more about putting something back on the right track than just having power, there's also the idea of "training" (dresser) as you would do with a horse or a dog, which when talking about the person's child once again evokes parental abuse (which was already explored in a different form through Ivan's dad)

basically: the ruler = deciding for him, la redresseuse = correcting him

lan wangji and jiang chengs combined approach to Whatever The Hell Is Going On With Wei Wuxian is so so bad for him in this arc. lan wangji, who is practical and righteous and principled to a fault, who sees the world in black and white, seeking to remind wei wuxian at every turn that he's doing something wrong, that resentment will harm him. he takes every opportunity he can to try and convince wei wuxian to return to standard cultivation, to criticize his methods. because he doesn't know how to say that he's worried and scared, that he wants to help, so he tries to spit information wei wuxian already knows at him to see if it sticks

and jiang cheng, who cares so much about his family but was never taught affection, who clings to the status quo because it keeps him safe, completely ignoring that anything is wrong in the same moment that he's constantly pestering wei wuxian for acting strangely. he brings up suibian casually as if he really thinks wei wuxian will use it, acts like everything is normal and then is surprised when it's not. because he doesn't know how to reach out, to be tender, all he knows how to do is try to force things back together and get angry when they break

and they both care so much about wei wuxian but they're so bad at expressing their worry and their fear and their love that they are Actively making his mental state worse

Keep making my comments into posts because I can. Basically, a lovely Marauders stan (and not a victimblamer) wrote in my comments that Snape wasn't sexually assaulted because "he commited hate crimes against Muggleborns and it's heavily implied he SAed Mary". For some reason, the comment got deleted after I posted the answer:((( But that turned out a good enough piece on that tortured Muggleborns/hexed everyone with Levicorpus/assaulted Mary bullshit, so here it is.

First of all, it's never ever implied Snape hexed anyone, except for possibly James (even that is questionable, since "James didn’t take Snape on dates with her and jinx him in front of her" clearly implies Potter's initiative, but whatever). The worst things Lily accuses him of when giving arguments against their friendship is using the Mudblood word and planning to join the DEs, not hexing Muggleborns or anyone at all. She also confronts Severus about Mulcibier's actions – not about anything Snape did himself (according to her info, he wasn't even present! why would she ask "do you know what had happened", if Mary would've told her he was there!). The Marauders absolutely never say Snape hexed anyone – Lupin and Black try to exuse their actions as hard as they can, but the only related thing they bring up in Snape "liking" Dark Magic – not him bullying anyone, or his supposed anti-Muggleborn sentiment, or him using that same spell etc. Moreover, when Harry brings up the fact that James used Lvc on Snape in HBP, Lupin says "he wasn't the only one", not connecting Snape with the spell in any way, even though they are right there together in the sentence – but Lupin doesn't know that Snape invented Lvc, nor does he ever assign its use to Snape.

Other people who intentionally used Lvc, but for other reasons then James and drunk DEs, are Harry – to stop Amortentia!Ron; attempted in a duel against Draco; attempted at Snape after killing Dumbledore; and Hermione – for Harry to pick up Hufflepuffs cup. So this spell CAN be used not to "torture Muggles" – Voldemort himself calls what DEs did Muggle torture, this is how even fucking Voldemort classifies it – or expose your victim's body and threaten to take off their underwear.

Literally nothing implies Mary was sexually assaulted. The only thing we know for sure is that it couldn't be Levicorpus – because James used it, and "James hated Dark Magic", "they don't use Dark Magic though"; plus no-one hints anywhere in the books that Lvc is Dark. Lily's main argument why it had been bad and unfunny at all was "but it's Dark Magic" – not that Mary was violated and hurt (especially since Mulcibier "tried to do something", and not "did", so it's very possible he failed at least partly. I mean he was probably a bullying piece of shit and maybe even used Lvc, just on different occasions, but you people take that extremely vague statement of Lily and invent wild shit like that Mary was tortured and SAed or whatever, while ignoring the person who we actually see being violated in great detail). There is absolutely no sexual implication there anywhere, Lily would consider any kind of Dark Magic creepy! Justifying bullying was Student!Lupin kind of shitty behaviour, not James and Sirius – and considering Snape wasn't there according to Lily, maybe I'd even cut Snape slack more than Remus.

But even IF Mary was SAed and Snape didn't care – what James did would still be sexual aggression and bullying and disgusting! James doesn't get a pass on violating bodily rights of people with bad morals! Like, I don't think that anyone is entitled to forcibly undress Lupin because he was an enabler, this is just justifying cruelty and consent violation. No one is even entitled to undress James Potter, because sexual violence is not a punishment, and a person who commits it even to the biggest criminal is dangerous for society overall. Again, the only people we directly and openly see doing what James did were drunk DEs, and everyone was horrified, and it was classified as muggle torture by the narrative. This is what we see. In the books. Directly.

Also, a well known Snape's friend Mulcibier, whom Sirius doesn't remember being affiliated with Snape, and who, just as any other slytherin, is nowhere around during SWM – not only to help against James, but to discuss the important OWLs exam on a subject Snape greatly cared about, like the Marauders did together, and Lily did with her friends. Yeah, all those Snape's verrry close friends, and surely not just people he lived with.

And yes, undressing a person in public without their consent, especially your long term victim, especially if they are forcibly physically restrained during the episode, is sexual assault, regardless of victim's morals.

Iyu’s Significant Other: @tokyoghoulartfight2025 submission 2

a devious half ghoul boy….

(this is based more on Kaneki in relation to my OC Iyu, since someone requested I fill the sheet more with that information)

Name: Ken Kaneki 研 金木, My Boy (by Iyu), Shironeki (not in writing)

Age: 19 as of 2012

Born: 20/12/1993

Education: graduated high school, accepted into university in the department of letters, however he only completed a few months before dropping out.

Gender: cis male

Species: artificial half ghoul

Kagune type: rinkaku - 4 tendrils. can enter a half-kakuja state and gains an additional 2 tendrils, which are a bit mutated and are denser and fatter than the other 4

Size: 169.5cm, 56kg

Blood-type: AB

Likes: books of any genre, intelligent women, hamburger (formerly), martial arts, black coffee, cannibalizing sometimes, feeling useful and loved, leaving the house for long periods of time without saying where he’s going and when he’ll be back!!! :/

Favorite Literature: anything written by Sen Takatsuki, some mysteries and thrillers, classics, poetry

Sexuality: hetero but can be bisexual for an intriguing dynamic between him and another man. I like to keep him being into girls as much as possible because it deepens the oedipus complex possibilities, which I think is too funny to miss

Hobbies: reading, leaving Iyu all by herself, assault

Personality: generally a soft and gentle person. Very cute. Can be private and tends to bottle up negative feelings until they explode (or plans specific times where he allows himself to explode so it’ll be contained to particular ghouls/dinner). Likes to act a little confident, a little arrogant, a little cool and calculating, but it’s driven by insecurity and I think he’d be more anxious than Kuroneki a lot of the time. He stresses immensely about not being strong enough to defend the people he cares for. I think some of that is also exacerbated by his mental issues, he’s a bit psychotic and probably sees it as a horrible weakness. He is terrified of being abandoned and unloved so he will cut connections with people so they can’t do it to him first. Iyu tries to help with this, but he sometimes worries that he’s just making her sick too. He indulges her weird obsession with him anyway because he kinda likes getting to be the center of someone’s world, even if he feels a bit guilty for taking up so much of her life.

Sometimes he talks like a character from a book instead of a regular person. He relates a lot of his inner world to books he’s read, so when things start spiraling out of control and his mental state degrades to the point where he can’t recall what to relate things to, he gets more panicked and his thoughts get very disorganized. Recently he’s gotten very adjusted to reaching that state and has given up on relating things to stories so much. Many of his thoughts now return to getting stronger, violence, feeling like something is wrong, wondering what his friends are up to or what Iyu could be doing. He avoids thinking about Touka and Hide specifically because he knows it’ll just make him really sad in the wrong way.

Positive traits:

will make Iyu miso soup in the morning

can do a handstand

able to rip a man asunder

cute tentacles

a nice boy - extremely delightful person in any circumstance

beautiful beyond compare

very intelligent young man

more than fluent in Japanese (a native speaker and scholarly gentleman) and always willing to share his knowledge!

can draw a little bit

born on an island (like Barbie in that one movie)

has at least $9

has his own residence IN TOKYO. THE BIGGEST CITY IN JAPAN

communicates well in email

cries really pathetically and it’s just so sad but it’s so endearing anyway

owns this blue coat that is totally to die for and he also has a flip phone - soooo y2k!

talented in the eating people/ghoulery department

tendency to buy Iyu a cute keychain

lets Iyu in the bed sometimes

can pick up extremely heavy objects with ease, always able to open the jar or soda

HE HAS THE CUTEST GIGGLE.. this could’ve been a negative because it’s just so dangerous, if a driver heard him they’d crash into a pole immediately, but by the grace of God this hasn’t happened just yet

the most unbelievable body. it’s actually very believable but the point still stands

REALLY interesting nails

hair is wonderful to play with

always perfect to hold. anywhere. even his ankle is so grabbable

rides a bicycle with speed and confidence

very good at getting important information with people via dialogue and persuasive techniques

experience in the service industry - greeted and served customers, washed cups and prepared barista-grade coffee

ticklish

always the funniest jokes w this guy

Negative traits:

struggles with forming real connections with others because he keeps everyone at a distance and refuses to really let them in out of a fear they won’t like what they see

takes so long in the bathroom and goes there a lot. what is with the 40 minute showers 3x a day. some of us have to pee

clearly loves hugs but is NOT good at giving them back! awkward as hell

issues with his mother continue to affect his relationships with women and which girls he is attracted to

utterly shit feng shui in the bedroom

ALWAYS LEAVING THE DAMN HOUSE and does not even take Iyu with him all the time…

unemployed - allows for a free schedule, however he keeps filling it with Bullshit anyway

didn’t watch Ponyo with Iyu once when she actually really needed it like genuinely. because he was too busy having some sort of tantrum upstairs

claws at himself sometimes when he’s psychotic (not his fault but it’s distressing and he’ll refuse bandages because “it’ll heal soon”, but his nails have all this gunk in there so what if it gets infected???)

kills people and then leaves the bodies everywhere without any attempt to hide it

emotionally unstable man - seems so happy and chill then suddenly serious or uncomfortable, sometimes he gets home late and he’s a little Too Happy like an unnatural kind of joy from an emotional particle accelerator made by a group of evil nuclear physichiatrists, sometimes he is deeply sad and won’t get out of bed, sometimes the two are back to back in 2 days. also not his fault but distressing

allergic to all foods besides black coffee. just stop being picky? :/

doesn’t want to go to Church because he thinks God won’t like him specifically for some reason and he doesn’t like Him either

poor coping mechanism of turning some ghoul into paste because he’s feeling upset and failed some task that spiraled into him thinking he’s completely weak and helpless

lowkey scared of Iyu sometimes somehow

Background: either exactly the same as in Tokyo Ghoul, or with minor differences like Kaneki living alone. Generally Iyu shows up either weeks before or shortly after the lab raid. She helps Kaneki with information but if providing information about the Anteiku battle and certain details only shown in :re, she tries her hardest to keep things lined up so it seems like a ridiculously bad idea for Kaneki to get involved in the Anteiku battle. Maybe because he missed the battle, Eto tries to recruit him without Arima, and that could cause issues, but generally in the Iyu AU they’re just chilling and being close friends :) ofc people can do whatever else they want with him tho

DOs: anything!!! But I am particularly fond of him having a good time or put in a vulnerable position against his will

Ships I'm okay with: not really my choice because it’s Kaneki. not even my character. this is based on him in the Iyuverse but this is also additional encouragement for anyone to do something with Kaneki however they want because I love him so much and think he should hang out with everyone

Things I'm okay with: anything

DON'TS: if this is Iyuverse Kaneki, please don’t write him having sex. it would make Iyu jealous and sad. if it’s just regular Kaneki then that’s different, he can get it for sure

Things I'm NOT okay with: see above

Ships I'm not okay with: none

Trivia: he’s not actually Iyu’s significant other. He’s just significant to her and another person, so she calls him this, but it’s completely untrue and an entirely unfounded claim

[lynaferns]

Made this earlier this month. My idea was to post it in an artdump with more drawings and shitposts related to the characters but I didn't wanted to leave it for next year because I made it this year and brain will hurt if I don't post it before it ends.

I'm just realizing I didn't shade it. I'm lazy now, I don't want to fix it. No shading for you today.

sam meg and cas they could never make me hate you

[andy-wm]

Andy, I dont think JM is queer, coz in WHO he is singing about a her, not a they.

She/her pronouns leave no scope for ambiguity.

Anon, that's like me saying 'Anonymous' must be your real name because that's who the ask came from.

Makes sense?

No.

No it does not.

If the pronouns were THEY, Jimin would be

a) slammed for being woke

and

b) not clearly telling you that he lives in a society that makes him think his love MUST be a she/her. And he can't find love, he can't find it anywhere.

If he had grown up thinking he could find love with (he/she/they... any pronouns) don't you think he would have found it by now? I mean, look at him, he's so beautiful and kind and smart. How could he not find someone?

Would he be singing songs about how he can't find love?

The way he specifically says HER tells you THAT'S WHERE THE PROBLEM LIES.

Please, Anon (not your real name, yeah?)

Please, for your future self, for you to navigate the information you encounter every day, don't just grab the first thing you see and run with it. Sure, consider your immediate reaction, but also consider what else might be happening.

Because theres always more than one way to look at a situation.

(Thats why we have a jury of 12 and courts of law, and we don't just let people claim revenge for perceived wrongs by vigilante justice. Because there's two sides to a story, and you need different perspecives to see all the angles.)

Critical thinking skills are important because often messages are hidden.

Sometimes it's because the author wants you to misunderstand at first, because their real meaning will have more impact when you discover it later.

Sometimes there are two different messages directed at two different types of audience (like kids movies with adult jokes hidden in them)

Sometimes it's because they actually cannot say what they really want to say because they aren't allowed to or because it'snot safe or because they simply don't want to be upfront.

In the case of this song, it's all three of those reasons.

Context clues tell us that this album is very queer themed. There are rainbows and smeraldo flowers everywhere.

Smeraldo flowers LITERALLY mean a hidden truth/ truth untold/ I couldn’t tell the truth.

The original posts about Smeraldo flowers are translated here:

You'll find this here: https://cafearmy.wordpress.com/category/flower-smeraldo-blog-post-translations/page/2

There are also clues in the WHO music video - the extended metaphor of the weather, and the rainbows and colour flares. These tell us THERE'S MORE GOING ON HERE.

Read the lyrics and also watch the mv and think about what you are hearing and seeing.

Follow the story and think about WHY everything is happening the way it happens.

The director didn't just randomly yell "ok dance! Now run a bit, now look at the camera, now sing!"

There's a plan. The plan is based on a story they're telling. The story has an ending that THEY ALREADY KNOW, but that we don't.

Until we've seen the whole thing and thought about it, and then gone back to see what we missed the first time around, we dont know.

Like Spring Day isn’t REALLY about the seasons, and Bapsae isnt about birds, and The Truth Untold isn't about growing flowers.

Go back and watch the MV with the audio muted and think about the story thr MV tells without the music.

Read the lyrics as though you are reading a poem.

Genuinely, i care about this (i am a school librarian Anon, i wouldn’t be one if i didn't care about how people interact with information) so listen and think about it.

Then come back and tell me if you still think he's not queer because the pronouns in this song are she.

Borahae 💜
