I bet the topic of gender and sexuality in this universe is super interesting. Extra-canon stuff points out that the long-lived races have an effect on what’s seen as attractive by short-lived races. The beauty standards of humans leans towards feminine androgyny, because elf gender presentation is very ambiguous. While on the other hand, half-foots on average see dwarves as the beauty standard. Oh, the in-universe discourse surrounding this would be so compelling!

Here's the extra about beauty standards!

Speaking of which, while going back through ryoko kui's blog I realized there's a last bit I haven't seen translated? I attempted to translate it with my poor jp, the help of google and by going by how this first part was translated. But there's these kanji I cant understand at all! Ryoko Kui's handwriting is my worst enemy

Here's what I got so far

So besides Elf beauty standards tallmen also have their own specific tastes! Makes sense considering they're such a wild spread race. If anyone knows what the elf is saying please help

Edit: thanks to iamluminia in the replies! Aparently the elf is saying "邪魔", maybe they think this conversation is a bother?

BTW ik theres less toshiro bad takes now (thank God. Thank Goodness) but I just want to reiterate that "recently, I haven't been able to stand you" ≠ "I've hated you from the very beginning and never considered you my friend" btw. like.

Toshiro never outright stated "I hate you and you should shut the fuck up and fuck off and die forever" he was more like "hey you're so fucking annoying sometimes man, please understand the concept of personal space, your lack of self-awareness have been pissing me off" which YES is still not the greatest thing to say to a fellow autistic person HOWEVER laios never even holds it against him and toshiro doesn't. fucking. hate. him. like would a hater give that man a bell of "im gonna help you if you need my help also don't die" ⁉️

I didn't think so.

one (understandably) underappreciated thing about madara is that he's one of the oldest characters in the series,,,, yet even when he's literally a wrinkly old caveman on life support he never switches from using ore to using washi.

almost every other old man character uses washi, and even some of the ones that barely qualify as middle-aged (mr raikage sir you are 47???? hashirama and tobirama are even worse; you cannot tell me either of them made it past 35)

meanwhile madara's all "whatever i'm gonna get revived anyway i don't have to change shit"

I was trying to learn more about Japan's parapsychology craze in the 80s and 90s and was having a surprisingly difficult time finding good sources on Google. So I kept trying different search terms and finally this comes up

cia??? freedom of information act???

Anyway!! I clicked on it and the page is "down for maintenance" and I have never been more consumed with curiosity lmao.

I had no idea that Google would search through FOIA documents...

That one character that's gender queer but doesn't know they're gender queer because they don't know gender is a construct...

I am so easily distracted by sad monster men with beautiful hair and claws and perhaps a large sword

According to Google, most hearing aids aren't waterproof, and it got me thinking about how Mariechan would want to go to the beach with Komaki but wouldn't be able to go swimming with him🥺And how Komaki would definitely problem-solve and find a place where they can hang out in a shallow area. I drew this comic a few years ago but it's still cute💗🏖️🌊🐚

No audio fiction podcast has it all;

Produced by and starring POC

Has Aroace/non sam Ace/non sam aro MCs

Has trans MCs(trans man trans woman, nonbinary/gendeequeer idc)

Has little to no romance and focus on platonic or hostile non-romantic relationships

It's sci-fi or fantasy, with horror elements(especially body & cosmic horror)

Not too long (like i can't deal with 100+ 2hr+ episodes lol)

This post is brought to you by my love for the The Silt Verses. Which is damn near perfect for me, such a shame the lack of POC(there's to my knowledge only one MC voiced by a POC yet the fandom overwhelming interprets his character as white while HC a character voiced by a white woman as black :/)

[bnnuy-wabbit]

this entire Music Taste debate thing re:rap is getting annoying really fast. Im not USian enough for this.

[lokh]

why do you still prefer calling him shuro over toshiro? just curious

makes it clearer to the anime onlys and i find it interesting that a lot of japanese fans have no problem saying shuro still lmao

Random weird thing I've been seeing recently that's kinda bothered me a bit but I've seen a couple sonic gijinkas with light skin and with that I've seen a few posts being like "sonic isn't white!!"

But. I don't think anyone's explicitly said he was??

Like. Mixed ppl exist. Hispanic/Latino ppl with light skin exist (like me). Asian ppl exist also. Black ppl can have lighter skin too. Like literally any poc can be a wide range of skin tones. Just bc they're pale doesn't mean they're White

It's probably mostly just jokes and I'm overreacting a little bit but y'know it just looks like ppl are assuming he's Just White when the artists don't say otherwise even tho that might not actually be the artists' intent. Unless there's something I'm missing here and someone's making posts saying he Is white or some shit idk lmao
