Does anyone else think the bird jokes are overused and redundant :/
Like people reduce Tokoyami’s whole personality to a single physical trait and I just think it’s weird. In mha canon not a single (good) person makes jokes about tsu, shoji, or Tokoyami’s heteromorph traits. Tokoyami doesn’t even exhibit any bird traits (except the perching), that’s all headcanon. The only one who brings up his avian appearance is hawks. There are only 5 instances I can remember someone saying something about mutant appearances (excluding the direct assault against shoji and ordinary woman)
Mineta calling shoji octopus, which he then apologizes for after finding out how rude that is to say
Jiro saying “that damn bird” when dark shadow blocked her attack. It felt more like a statement of her frustration than an insult.
Bakugo calling tokoyami bird brain, which is normal for him
Dabi calling spinner lizard, and spinner getting offended and yelling at him (I don’t remember if he continues to do it afterwards)
Shoto calling that police chief a mutt, there was no excuse for that, that was just racist
And still I think these are pretty tame compared to how the fandom treats heteromorphs!! The stereotyping of Tokoyami and hawks is absolutely insane. I love when people come up with headcanons for them having more avian traits but when those traits become the butt of the joke it’s extremely distasteful. If I see one more cannibalism joke about eating chicken I’m gonna hurt something. You guys do realize birds eat other birds all the time right???? There is a reason “chicken hawk” is a name. A hawk literally tried to attack my chickens yesterday, they love chicken. That is the reason hawks favorite food is chicken. I can see why tokoyami would want to hide his avian traits because if people in mha are like ours he would have been bullied to hell.
I know people making bird jokes are just having fun, but it’s just really weird to me. It’s important to see the comparison between real life racism and the heteromorph racism in mha. There is a reason horikoshi adds the mutant rally in the final war arc, the lesson there has flown over so many people’s heads. I hope this post gives you more insight to look beyond appearances and actually try to understand these side characters a bit better.

The way the tumblr algorithm works is endlessly fascinating to me. I can search for “speculative evolution” fifteen times and the “for you” page will never feature speculative evolution blogs, yet tumblr will also be like “oh I saw you look at a post from a hashtag coquette hashtag girlblogging aesthetic user once, is this your true passion in life? Would you like to be recommended posts like this for the rest of the week? It’s not optional btw.”

okay, I’m going full red string over the last episode. mainly because if queen amangeaux (put some goddamn respect on her name) had a child with her husband, wouldn’t that have solved all her problems? Sure, it would make her a target but the bishop was already warning her to lay low at the festival, and at least this would’ve secured her place on the throne until her child came of age. Unless she knew she was pregnant and then she decided not to say anything in trying to follow the bishop’s advice? Or she didn’t know at the time and then everything popped off. But that makes the baby at least a year and 3/4 months (if we use human pregnancy as the timeline??) and the baby read more as a newborn to me? Also in the adventuring party when they discussed the bishop’s secret, Anjali pointed out that he could’ve been poisoning her or her husband with the tea leaves to stop her from producing an heir. which could be a red herring, or could mean that the baby belongs to someone other than her husband, hence why she’s hidden him away. which would make sense since the coloring is a little different. So either the baby isn’t hers biologically and is just in her care, she had an affair while her husband was still alive, the baby is the true heir, or she got pregnant in the two year time jump.
how the fuck am I losing my mind over a mango’s sex life how did I get here

New hyperfixation just dropped. I’ve been devouring Jujutsu Kaisen and Geto and Gojo have me in a chokehold. It’s giving me everything. It’s devastating.

for no real reason i was just pondering about which is my favorite PC each mcelroy has played in The Adventure Zone.
I can say immediately with pretty much no contest that Taako is my favorite Justin PC. I think you all know how mentally ill I was about Taako. I love Duck and the Firbolg and all the others but i am insane about Taako.
Also pretty much immediately I can say my favorite of Clint’s is Argo. I think Clint mentioned at some point that he put more work into Argo than any other character (this may have been before Ethersea so idk if it’s still true) but I think it shows so much. He was so interesting and I love him and I loved learning about his background and motivations and stuff.
I was a little more torn about Travis because I do love Magnus a lot, but in the end I decided I like Devo the most. I just wish we had gotten to delve into more details about his background and upbringing and stuff and I hope someday when they make the Ethersea sequel we can learn more about him because he is a very interesting character.
I was the most torn about Griffin because I love almost all of his PCs so much. The two other contenders I was really torn about was Errol and Montrose. I was so devastated he didn’t play Errol again in Dust II because I fucking love Errol. Montrose is also such a good character he’s such a freak. But in the end I decided on Fitzroy. My sweet cheese my rotten soldier. I love that stupid bitch
Thank you for coming to my ted talk

Because I’m going through my regularly scheduled nostalgia-fuelled Sebchal-related meltdown, I’m going to gif some older clips (mainly 2019 lbr) I came across that I haven’t really seen giffed before, and try and post them throughout the summer break ❤️

Just found out that Endo isn’t that fond of Spy x Family and I can’t shake the sadness :(
I know it was taken out of context and blown out of proportion by the media, but still. This series that brings me so much hope and happiness and heartbreak and understanding. It’s sad to think that it’s somewhat of a disappointment to the author.
