#JUST. UGH

[agrebel18]

saw someone on here the other day say that we don’t need aromantic and asexual representation in media because that’s a “sanitized” identity like BITCH WHAT????? IF YOU CAN ONLY SEE ASPEC PEOPLE AS CHILDREN THAT IS A YOU PROBLEM.

BoJack and Diane truly make me insane. They used to be in love. They're best friends. They're always there for each other. They drown and drag the other down with them. Whenever they hang out it always fixes one thing and ruins another thing. They cannot function when the other person is gone. They have opposing moral ideologies. Their past work greatly inspired the other. They bring out the worst in each other. They send each other messages as a coping mechanism. They're star crossed best friends. They're the most important people in each other's lives. They have to grow apart.

if you use image generating apps, no matter what you're using it for, you're actively training it. they're so unethical and until there are copyright-respecting rules in place about how the "art ai" are trained it will continue to be so. im sorry but its heinous, all of it.

if you're a person with their pictures or art or anything image-based like that online, you've been stolen from and you wont see a cent from it cause its such a wide scale theft that'd be impossible. and it IS going to be used to replace any working artist at these corporations and businesses' earliest convenience.

this may be a minor nitpick, but it's been annoying me today so. eh. ignore me if you'd like

I can't really bring myself to enjoy OSP's video on Hades & Persephone, what with the potshots taken at Apollo a few times that actually have nothing to back them up for.

He gets lumped in with Zeus and Poseidon as a serial rapist (false), and is later kind of mocked (?) in comparison to Hades. (for reference, I'm talking about 2:15-2:35)

Like, okay, you're trying to make a point on why Hades isn't the villain in Greek Mythology, but showing that by way of targeting Apollo, when he actually has one of the best relationship lives?

just. rubs me the wrong way :/

one thing i am so grateful for in utena is that it refuses to demonize gender nonconformity or butchness… so many stories with a character like utena would present her wearing the rose bride gown at the end as a Positive Good because “Let Women Be Feminine!!!! and wear dresses and makeup and skirts!!!!!! #girlboss!!! 👛👗🎀🛍💄”

it is rare to find media that includes masculine women/gnc people to begin with, but it feels like stories which present our existence with any nuance beyond “just a phase” or “toxic masculinity” or “man hater” are all but nonexistent.

and yet the first arc culminates in utena trying to conform, trying to be normal, trying to be feminine — not because some teacher dress-coded her with a written rulebook, not because she realized that her gender-nonconformity was ~a phase~, but because she was manipulated in a much subtler and damaging way. she was told over and over again that she could never be good enough as a “prince”, that she could never have agency or fall in love with a woman or try to protect the people she cares about, because she’s a “girl”. and that arc resolves thanks so much to the love of other queer women: wakaba loves her enough to call her out when in any other story she would be giving her the “makeover”. juri gives utena her sword from one gnc person to another when in any other story she’d be the mean bullying lesbian who’s #notlikeothergirls. and instead of becoming the image of a good straight gender conforming woman, utena uses that queer love to reclaim her true self.

i love utena because she’s not a good, palatable gnc person. she’s not the palatable tomboy that’s gender-conforming in every way that matters and especially not a Gross Yucky Lesbian. she presents masculine. she acts in ways that are scolded (and admired!) for being too “boyish”. utena self-refers using masculine pronouns. she’s called “girl-boy” in a way that felt very true to my own experience growing up. she wants to be a prince, not a princess, and eventually she abandons those gender roles completely. she falls in love with a woman and loves her enough choose her, and enough for her to save herself. i just love utena.

I think I accidentally got myself to hyperfixate on Wesker and this is genuinely one of the worst things to happen to me

[atervale]

so disappointing to enjoy someone’s art and see that they still post h*rry p*tter. insta block

[chappell-roans]

the right always rails against political correctness. donald trump literally attempted to put out a hit on taylor swift today. he is trying to get haitian immigrants attacked or worse. he’s responsible for a coup that resulted in death. someone may or may not have attempted to shoot him today (it played great for him last time). and every single democrat is now going to make a post (i already saw bernie’s) condemning any form of political violence and saying they’re glad the former president is safe. i’m not! we shouldn’t be! he is a fucking danger to the world. be fucking serious.

(not to mention every other act of violence he’s responsible for and no he isn’t the only sicko in politics but again. gun country can’t even do the thing right.)

[mogoce-nocoj]

I know bojan was partly joking but the more I think about it the more I think that it's really fucking sad that they've all been called gay (in the slur way) on social media ever since they created the band

[batwynn]

I literally offered free work for a few projects because it was a bucket list item for me and I still got turned down. I genuinely don’t know where to go from here because what does that mean about my work when it’s not even worth free?

CREDITS ARE ROLLING.

LOVED THIS GAME. WAILS.

[tragedykery]

I ❤️ characters who lie & scheme & manipulate & deceive until u can’t tell where the performance ends and where the person underneath begins (and u know what? neither can they!) literally the most important type of character ever

[fabulouslygaybean]

i love being crushed under the weight of late stage capitalism

[diancite]

realized that maaybe connecting my twitch account to my discord was a mistake considering i have two irl cousins added on it and i havent had gender discussions with them at all 😭

[grautr-the-demiboy]

Okay so like I love plushie dreadfuls, right? What is this? Why is this? The first one feels very based on some stereotypes and exaggerated (if you go to the website and click on it and scroll down you'll see a list of why it has those features and shit) and the second one is better I guess, but where's the fun color palette? Where's all the intricacies and cool symbolism? Feels like they didn't try very hard with these, idk, they're not as interesting and fun as the other ones, and it isn't just with the OCD ones, they made some of the 'scarier' mental health issues look less cute and fun than the others (the ASPD bunny, the schizophrenia bunny, etc.) idk, but from what I've seen and heard it's… not ideal.
