#and thats ALSO very appealing

[huginsmemory]

I think whats so compelling about Sanji is that he's so terribly self conscious about being masculine that anything that performs masculinity better than him (ie, Zoro, obliviously, minus the women-fucking part), or skews masculinity, is a threat to him. Which makes him rampantly homophobic and transphobic. And as he also believes masculinity needs to be focused around being horny for women makes him also rampantly misogynistic cause he can't actually see women past them being a sexual object. Anyways it all culminates in you the audience being fairly certain that this man cannot be straight due to this terribly obvious fragility around his masculinity, and that if he ever got dicked down, it might solve all these issues.

is anyone else kinda annoyed how obvious it is the SL game just wants to appeal to a certain cishet male audience because dude. how is it that nearly all the recent hunters added are women, half of whom haven't ever even showed up in the original story?? like, you can make a cool looking dude too you know. you could have another half of the population play your cash grabbing game if you just treated both genders with equal fanservice mindsets

i wish we had gotten more of kugisaki nobara. i just watched dis vid and all my contained RAGE abt dis topic suddenly HIT ME LIKE A TRAIN GOD IM UPSET

ive talked like 32893882 times already (and its still NOT ENOUGH) abt how upset i was abt nobara's death cos she was such a good character, with so much potential!! i really REALLY liked her. she was funny, strong, confident and kind!!!! i loved her char design!! her cursed technique and weapon were cool as hell!!!!!!

and her (recently SOMEWHAT(?) confirmed(?)) death sucked so fucking much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

she was just. fucking fridged. as much as it pains me to admit it. from a narrative standpoint, she died so yuuji would get upset and further develop his character & then move the plot along. even mahito admits that he wants her to die to make yuuji suffer. like yeah he also recognizes her a strong opponent (ofc. cos she is) but at the end of the day he wanted to kill her just to wreck yuuji. and he succeded.

nobara has no say on the way she dies. she's just.. slapped, kinda. its so sudden. its so... weird. not that she's accepting of it (we already know that she knows she can die at any moment and she's ready for it (cos she's a freak like the rest of the sorcerers lol)), but its weird bc its like its not a personal moment for her. yeah we get a flashback & her speech about how, even tho she always was a person who refused to let other people affect the way she is and decides to live, there still are people who, by being accepting of her, managed to gain a place in her heart... and she's happy for that. its rly beautiful.

but its the impact her death has on yuuji what the story really cares about here.

and like. thats fine! im not even saying killing nobara is a bad choice or that its bad if her death also developed yuuji's character. but the way it was done, its like her death only had that purpose. its a way too transparent device, that's what i dislike abt it. i dont mind being upset bc a character i love dies? i like feeling strong emotions when i engage emotionally with art/stories.

but i think she was killed off too soon. we didn't get to properly say goodbye to her. both her character arc and her death were rushed.

she could have been developed so much more! it feels like she was taken away way too soon in the story. i wanted her to fight sukuna along the others. i wanted her to use her cool technique to help yuuji nail sukuna's soul. i wanted to see just how much stronger she could get. i wanted her to finally meet saori. I WANTED HER TO HAVE A COOL EYE PATCH!!!!!!!!!!!

why is she barely mentioned after she dies??? she was one of the 3 main, dude, are u kidding me? yuuji's the only one who mentions her but he's almost afraid of talking about her. its like the whole world forgot about her!!!!! and what about maki?????? werent they girlfriends?

what is nobara's LEGACY? why did gege not make her death matter in the narrative? even if she (for whatever reason) came back(??) at the end, id still be rly mad & sad abt it cos i wanted to see her DO STUFF!! i wanted to see her kick some ass!!!! i wanted to see her grow!!!!! to open up with others!!!!! I WANTED TO SEE MORE OF HER. IM SO UPSET I WANT OUT

SOME (as in not all) jason fans will get mad at people for saying “let’s not make Mia’s trafficking trauma about the dude who tormented her about it” and start throwing around the “oh so you hate male survivors” bs

REAL REAL REAL REAL REAL !!!!! the thing is i dont mind the headcanon that jason had similar experiences to mia. i (mostly) dont even mind when people use those panels to compare their pasts and say that they could have had similar experiences

however. there is a very real problem when people will look at that scene and say "OMG! this must mean that jason has trafficking trauma!!!!" instead of looking at the character RIGHT THERE that has a bunch of very important arcs about her life as a survivor and her experiences and her trauma from it. and then when you say "hey lets make this scene about mia instead please" they'll say "oh so jason is worth less as a survivor just because hes not mia????" and its like. well no because one of them is a survivor in canon and on page and one of them is your headcanon. i feel like some people just read the line where jason was going over mias backstory and went "hm.... but what if this was about himself instead"

again. i dont think anyone is doing anything wrong by headcanoning him as a csa survivor. but when you use the panels with mia for evidence instead of just. talking about mia. it drives me insane and someday i WILL kill someone about it

[jerreeeeeee]

the thing is i very much understand the appeal of lupcretia narratively bc they are foils who betray each other and then forgive each other because the force of their grief and guilt brings them to an understanding and i also understand the appeal of blupcretia bc its a three person relationship who disagree on something major and split apart leaving one party feeling abandoned when the other two agree against her and what does that mean for the fact that the rest of their lives outside a horrible timeloop are supposed to start soon Because of that decision and disagreement like i get it narratively its interesting!! but here’s the thing: i just have an unshakeable belief that lup is straight

im excited that rov is getting a new anime movie but everything is so severely backlit with the modern anime Background Void Glow that the charm of ikeda's artstyle is like. drowning in it almost

[bnnuy-wabbit]

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

[scientologyblows]

okay but lets be very serious here right now, when they release a statement what exactly is that gonna change? don admitted to him and lex having intercourse (which shows that he coerced her) and matt and ryans texts show that the situation was handled VERY poorly. an apology isnt enough for the trauma they both have caused

the idea that most people playing investigations rn are playing it with the hd graphics makes me a little sad,,, the CHARM of the pixel sprites really is what sells me hard on the graphics of AAI and i fear the hd graphics just really lack that charm

What do you get out of submission? What parts of it are particularly appealing to you?

you know how everybody's subspace is different? when i'm deep in subspace, i get very chatty, ditsy, playful and pleased to be involved — i feel light and loved and like things are simple and easy, and that makes me feel really happy and expressive. submission, for me, is basically a method to access that happy feeling.

like a lot of submissives, a big part of why i like it is because it gives me a space where things are very, very simple; where i get to turn my brain off. i don't like the stereotype that people with power in the day-to-day lives are inherently submissive, and vice versa, but it is true for me — i've had to be self - sufficient for a long, long time, so getting an out where i can be dumb and pathetic and still be loved and cared for and kept safe is very appealing. my childhood was also really horrific in a lot of ways, unfortunately, so there's a "fulfillment of a childhood fantasy" sort of thing; i am protected. i am not in danger. i don't need to spend every second preparing for harm; i can just be calm and empty and happy. i've been rescued from what's scary. i am safe. (i don't do much in-depth roleplay, but it's telling that one of my primary roleplay fantasies i'd like to play with someday is that i am a helpless princess rescued from a tower by her brave knight.)

anyway, this is all a long way to say that what i want out of submission is the sense that i'm taken care of, that i don't have to worry about taking care of or protecting myself. bimbos are pampered and cared for and adored. bondage is awesome because i have permission to do absolutely nothing, and i'm still valuable enough to take care of. even the degradation thing loops back to this for me. i spent a huge portion of my life forced to be overly serious and dour and frantic with worry over my own safety; a chance to be safe and contented is hot and happy both.

would it be okay if u told me why u like aoki😭/gen😭😭😭😭BEEN TRYNA LIKE HIM FOR SO LONG I JUST CANTT but i love ur art so much so i still consume it otherwise lol

i liked tohru adachi in high school and tbh i think that alone is enough of an explanation for why i ended up liking aoki

[ilynpilled]

another thing with spoiler talk is that it is often exclusive to just these #shocking big deaths for some reason. and i dont even think those things are the most “harmful” spoilers. the thing w asoiaf for example is how significant the utilization of pov structure is. like the whole series is built on key moments of recontextualization. we are deliberately given just a small chunk of information from the lens of a specific pov or side and the way a lot of the themes are conveyed is the challenging of that. like there is so much meaning in structuring so i am so glad people are way more focused on “googoo gaga this mc dies” kind of spoilers and a lot of the key directions the series chose to take and how remain relatively unspoiled because no one is really oversaturating those moments. like i love not getting certain key info revealed until it should be as it would completely recontextualize scenes and characters etc. i love having preconceived notions and those being challenged. because that was very much george’s intention and it is sometimes a key part of his characterization or framing or whatever

How u feel about like. All the weird jokes they make in r&m?

umm what do you mean exactly by weird jokes?? if you mean the incest jokes then like no offense, how do you think i feel? if i constantly go around saying how i want nothing to do with rckrty shippers How do you think i feel, genuinely.
