if i see one more post attributing kira's powers to ~supernatural powers~ instead of the obvious fact that the cia is doing a coup I'm going to start giving You the heart attacks
💅 toxicbff
of course i saw the news how does that not prove my point further
the idea that all the police around the world could be mobilized by one single person is ridiculous (just look at this list of how many civilian militia there are globally)
heart attack victims don't seize the way "lind l tailor" did
i don't know how to tell you that You Can't Kill People Just By Knowing Their Name And Face because this is Real Life and not the newest grimdark marvel villain
people need to stop being scared of the ~bogeyman in the closet~ and wake up to the fact that usamerica is trying to take over the goddamned world

if i get a single more comment about why i don't tag "genderbend" on my kiratective fics i'm going to blow up the entire building. we don't know EITHER of their genders. why don't YOU tag your mediocre yaoi genderbend instead
🔆 sparkling-world Follow
…OP, you realize the news reports all consistently use "he," right?
🏎 fastandyurious
of course i do???? just because you see something on the news doesn't mean you have to believe it?????? they don't have any information on kira yet but i'm supposed to believe the fbi knows their gender already??????? also kira is literally a fucking girl's name my classmate in elementary school was called kira
🔆 sparkling-world
Kira comes from the Japanese romanization for "killer," it isn't gendered whatsoever.
Also, evidence shows the majority of serial killers are male, so I'd argue that the statistics favor the fujoshis here.
🏎 fastandyurious
well evidence shows that female serial killers are just more fun to write about and I'd argue that you're ignoring my fucking POINT which is that we DON'T KNOW KIRA'S GENDER and if people don't want to read lesbian kiratective they can FUCK OFF MY BLOG

Lil hater Leo in honor of me FINALLY getting out of bed. Idk what happened to me today but I couldn't get out bed for the longest time ;-;
Anyway just like me, Leo also managed to get out of bed. Now, I for the life of me couldn't figure out what I would want someone to say to me in this situation, so I went the silly route. Probably don't actually say this to someone, I genuinely don't know what I would have wanted someone to say if there were anyone for me to apologize too :/
Anyway here's a transcript:
Leo: I'm sorry...I was supposed to cook dinner, but I did nothing all day...
Yuichi: it's okay!
Yuichi: in the wise words of my great-great-great-grandfather...it just be like that!
Leo, thinking: idk why this is making me feel better
Leo: he did NOT say that
Yuichi: he did, I swear
Anyway I once again would not recommend actually saying this and I don't think Yuichi WOULD say this, but I couldn't think of what I would want someone to say so :/
#rottmnt#art#fanart#digital art#rottmnt fanart#rottmnt leo#comic#rottmnt fanfic#rottmnt comic#rottmnt art#lil hater#lil hater au#i feel like im gonna get hate for this cause yu shouldnt say that and yall are so right#but also genuinely this was me today and i would personally rather have someone say its okay and then change the subje t#but thats cause no one has ever really said ' its okay to not do anything all day' in my family :/#anyway lemme know if this needs trigger warnings pls#leosagi

screaming over him being a little heathen but also i'm considering they probably told the little actor to spill the chips and he just dumped them on the ground adsfasdfadsf
[reference to my tags on this post]
You're probably right... but also, I am taking this small scene of Jonah looking up and seeing that they're not watching him...
and then just drop... drop... drop...
To head-canon that he is a sassy little shit starter like his big brother and also Carlos.
I mean look at him and all those chips he dropped!! He has and will continue to learn from the best. 🤭😂

A part of ne becomes very patriotic and annoyed when I see RDR art or fics where Irish characters speak Irish.
Lets go on a little history journey shall we
RDR2 is set in 1899 all the Irish characters in the game would have emigrated from Ireland because they wanted to get a better life.
Kieran was born in America. His father emigrated from Ireland possibly after or during the Great Famine.
He cannot speak Irish
His name is not spelt the Irish way
Because he is American.
Seán was born and raised in Ireland. His parents are from Ireland. He is from Donegal. Which was a heavily British county at the time.
He has been to Connemara in Galway with his father as he says it in the game. Connemara is a Gaeltacht. This does not mean he can speak Irish.
He had to have lived in Ireland for at least 15 years to keep the accent but he still would not be able to speak Irish.
As it was dying out.
He maybe could speak a few words or phrases but he would not be fluent.
Molly O'Shea.
Whenever I see art or stories about her when she's talking about being Irish oh I hate it.
She is from Dublin. Which is in the Pale. The area where most British people lived. The richest parts of Ireland. She would not be able to speak Irish.
She hates being irish. She says it multiple times in the game. She moved to America to get a better life because of how bad irish people were treated (which was not much better in America but we will get to that).
She cannot speak Irish her name is not an riish version.
She would also most likely be protestant and get with fights with Seán.
Colm O'Driscoll.
Now we know that Colm is an old man but how old?
He was born in 1845. What year was that? The year the Great Famine begun.
He is (most likely) from Cork. Which is on the west side of Ireland. Not the side you would want to be on during the Famine.
If you don't know what the Famine was here's a little lesson.
The Great Famine begun in 1845 when a potato blight spread across the potato crop causing them to rot and be inedible.
Because the potato was cheap and easy to grow the Irish relied heavily on it.
The average adult male would eat about 12-14 potatoes a day.
Because of thsi over reliance people begun to starve and die.
They had to travel to ports to go on ships -that were often known as coffin boats because of how many people died on them- to escape.
Most people who died were on the west side.
it ended around 1850 but that date is debatable.
He is not going to be able to speak Irish either. He would not be sent to school in these conditions or have time learn it as it is not the main language.
Now. Colm would have been a malnourished child. And because we know he has a brother who moved to America with him when they were both young we can assume that their parents died or sent them off to have a better life and not die in Ireland.
America was not a nice place to be irish at this time.

This sign here. Because of the hundreds of thousands of Irish people emigrating to America during these years the Irish were discriminated againt.
This means that Colm and his brother would have been left on the streets with no job or shelter.
This is why they create the gang. Every irish person that moves ot is born in America cannot get a job so they are invited into the gang. This would provide them with friends shelter and food.
A better option than dying.
Colm also as kieran says is American and dosent want his name to be pronounced in irish is because he hates being irish.
Now onto why irish is not spoken and these characters have some fo the lowest chances of speaking irish in any media.
Modern characters could possibly. Ancient characters could. But not during these times.
When the English first invaded Ireland they put their religion and language onto the Irish.
If you spoke Irish around an English soldier guess what.
You would be killed.
Even when you see irish city names they were all originally in irish. The English solider would come uo to the Irish person, ask where they were, get a reply in irish, write it down as they heard it, and kill the irish.
As a result of this the Irish language died out.
It is only now being slowly reintroduced.
Ive been learning Irish my entire life and I'm not fluent in it.
No Red Dead Redemption character would be able to speak Irish.
Yes Connemara is a Gaeltacht (a place that only speaks irish) and Seán has been there. But it would only be slowly being rebuilt into a Gaeltacht at the time.
NOBODY CAN SPEAK IRISH AND NOBODYS NAME IS SPELT THE IRISH WAY (except sean) THANK YOU.
No hate to anyone who does this btw it's just something that annoys me.
#red dead redemption 2#sean maguire#kieran duffy#molly oshea#colm o'driscoll#irish#irish history#ireland#Sincerely a triggered irishman#Seriously though STOP DOING THIS#I cannot handle it#It's like nails on a chalkboard#Please stop#This has been your final warning#That's is all goodnight#Oh and this can also be said for Soap MacTavish#No that man cannot speak Gaelic#No he cannot speak it because of the phrases he says#Stop it#Please#rdr2#red dead redemption

I do have one thing and one thing only to say about the Neil Gaiman revelations.
Others more articulate than I have gone into detail on the horror of it. It should go without saying that fans across every fandom linked to him are horrified and each dealing with the revelations in their own way. My thoughts below may seem, I don't know, pithy in response but I'm not trying to address the enormity of what happened or offer any sort of solution, or comfort, or anything but my own confusion on a particular, perhaps even silly point. This is just my own moment to grapple with an aspect of the revelation that just won't get out of my head.
Here's a thing I don't get. It's a stupid thing, even ridiculous, but it haunts me:
Why remake the comic issue "Calliope" in the Sandman show? If you're N.G. and you know what you've done?? How could you be so fucking stupid? Or is it pure hubris? Why in the world would you update it so Madoc bore more similarities to current N.G., with such similar crimes of hypocrisy, using progressiveness as a mask over such crimes of sexual abuse?? Why wouldn't you try to distract or at least not bring such direct parallel attention to what you've done in your own story??
Writing Calliope in the first place as a younger man is one thing. The Sandman comic is edgy and dark and a story like that fits the 90s era grimdark tone. And many accounts seem to point to him not having committed any of those crimes back when he wrote Calliope. His ability to commit and get away with such abuse, perhaps even his interest in doing so I don't fucking know, came later, once he had money and power and influence. Sure, take that as you will, I don't claim to know, but most of the accounts seem to be from after he was 40 and he wrote Calliope long before that.
But the Calliope update in the Sandman show so specifically seems to draw parallels between Madoc and Gaiman. Like, there's a whole bit about how Madoc wants any shows or movies based in his work to have at least half women and people of color, Madoc is posing himself as this progressive feminist and the disgusting hypocrisy of it of course is that he has a woman he's abusing locked up in the attic.
I remember watching that scene, while watching this remake of Sandman that is, of course, more than half women and people of color. One of the biggest dudebro complaints against the Sandman show was that Lucienne got genderswapped and Death was played by a black woman. Like, you're watching the show where the acclaimed author's works are getting a progressive facelift, in the episode, with a fictional author, who is demanding the progressive facelift for film versions of his work, while he's being a vile predatory hypocrite with a woman locked in the attick.
I remember watching that scene and thinking, astounded and rather anxious for him, "My god, Neil must have absolute ironclad certainty that he has never done anything that can be construed as sexually inappropriate if he's making this update to the characters with parallels that could so clearly apply to him as well! He must be totally wholesome, faithful to his wife, and careful around fans. He must be 100% dead certain that he is above reproach because even a whisper, a false accusation of impropriety, one unhappy fan at an event, could make this episode look like the rankest hypocrisy. Why would you ever dare remake Calliope, and remake it so specifically to model after Neil, if you're Neil, unless you're 1000% certain Madoc's update doesn't apply to you at all?"
Like, even the most squeaky clean person in the world has gotta hesitate a bit when drawing a potential parallel between themselves as the author of the work and a villain in the work, and saying "This is me if I was a bad person." RIGHT? Like you've gotta have a moment's hesitation, even if you know none of it is true, before you dare risk drawing such parallels and literally updating the work into the script to make it more like you. Even if you know you've never done anything wrong in your life as an author, when you create Madoc, who is an author, who voices similar views to things you've said, you've gotta have a moment's hesitation just in case people misconstrue that the other villainous stuff applies to you too, right?
I think there's a part of me that like... understands obviously that there's evil in the world but sometimes what makes me additionally angry is when evil is stupid? Like when really obvious fraud is committed, or when the coverup is just really blatantly false. And this kind of falls into that category of like, what were you thinking drawing attention to your own potential abuse of power with fans, how your own progressive ideals could be rank hypocrisy over a mask of horror, that you could be saying all these feminist things while keeping a woman locked up and assaulted in your attic, almost literally, why would you even dare put that-- I mean, I daresay, confession out into the world and make the parallels so obvious, to actually update the parallels to be more like you now! Why would you dare do that?!
I can only imagine two answers:
It wasn't Neil. It was the other show creators who came up with the idea, because they truly thought Neil was above reproach (or maybe they did know some element of the truth and it WAS a warning but that feels less likely with him as executive producer that he'd let that in) and he couldn't cut it from the story without raising questions about why he wanted this rather salient update to the character removed without raising questions, especially if Orpheus & Calliope plot was going to a big thing later in the story.
It was Neil's choice to put that update in and it is some sort of twisted confession or he didn't see the parallels or he truly didn't think anyone would spot it or know?? But again WHY make Madoc progressive in such a specifically similar way to Neil?! Madoc didn't need to be progressive! He didn't need to say his films should be adapted to be more diverse the same way Neil did, in a show that was adapted to be more diverse! You didn't need to make the parallels to Neil so goddamn glaring, you could just adapt it directly to the comic and avoid the possible parallel! Why risk it??
It's a stupid thing to get stuck on, I know. But it baffles me, the sheer... hubris of it? The foolishness? I can't control what happened, I can't help the victims, and many fans are grappling with many questions about this but still, holy shit...
Why update Calliope with a Madoc that is so much like Neil, knowing as Neil did how deep the parallels actually went? Why, in the fucking world, would you ever fucking do that??
#neil gaiman#likely my only word on the subject ever again#trigger warnings for the content discussed#but like if you're following this story at all you kinda know what's going to be discussed and there's no graphic detail

Agatha let's people believe that she swapped her son's life for the Darkhold or sacrificed him for the Darkhold because it's less painful than the truth.
The truth is that she couldn't protect and keep her child alive. It's just that. He died young of a sickness. Every parent's worst nightmare that sometimes...boys die.

This idea got out of hand way too quickly but I have no regrets<3
Isn't it fun to think that with all the crossovers One would actually have a support system of friends that care about him?

also. i've said it before but infinity train is for the aros. to me. like it's got multiple relationships that are core defining features of the characters and the story. and, crucially, (while some are commonly shipped by fans) they are not textually romantic.
#eliot posts#intr#begging all aros who like cartoons or even just scifi/fantasy in general to watch this show#it's so fucking good#do check the doesthedogdie page for trigger warnings if ur sensitive to certain stuff tho#cuz that shit can get more intense than you'd expect for a kids show lol#i especially recommend it for the romance repulsed aros bc only one character has any serious romantic relationship#and they're a villain who needs to learn to LET GO OF IT
