Hot take on L
I've seen a lot of Tumblr posts floating around that seem to be of the same opinion, and that is that L doesn't care about morals. He only cares about the thrill of the chase, which is why he is so determined to catch Kira, for his own reputation and enjoyment - in other words, for selfish reasons. A lot of these same posts convey scenarios where L would join Kira in a heartbeat, if given the chance.
While I agree on some of this, I truly don't believe L's code of justice is so warped that he would JOIN Kira/Light in his cause. I seriously don't agree that this could ever happen. While L has some selfish motives for pursuing the case (which is plainly obvious), he does care about the true meaning of justice, and what his version of it is. There are some holes in this that you could go into a real debate about, such as L telling Kira that murdering criminals is evil, and yet he would be content arresting Light and sending him to a death sentence if necessary.
But I think, above all, if L were to abandon everything he'd been fighting for during the entire series and join Kira's cause without hesitation, then it wouldn't feel like the same character at all. His main conflict would be over his relationship and similarities with Light himself, and how he wouldn't want to lose the one person who is more like him than anyone else, at least in terms of intellect. That's the real conflict for me - not over Kira or justice. When it comes to ideas of justice, Light and L are poles apart. That's what makes their dynamic so interesting.

Apparently there's another scene where Eggman tries get to Tails by mentioning Sonic; to downplay the fox, to which Tails brings up their showdown from SA1.
(Haven't quite seen all the cutscenes; the in-game ones, but someone has uploaded all the Eggman cutscenes from the update. Included him talking to Tails and the others separately. If you're interested.)
Thank you so much! I probably will check them out eventually!
Ah yeah, the Station Square thing. How embarrassing it must be for Tails to not have done anything of note for the next 20 years. Poor kid. No wonder he feels useless/s

I just can’t imagine a world in which you watch Gilmore Girls and come away with the idea that Christopher could have been a good father, if only Lorelai let him.

Does anyone else like... feel less cis while on their period?? Like, a lot of the time I'm good with seeing myself as "girl, mostly" but I find that around my period I often start feeling less girl than I usually feel?? A little less gender perhaps??

the men and boys are innocent too.
we cry "the innocent women and children" to appeal to the masses, to try and force their sympathy, but the men and boys are innocent too.
I have seen sons crying out for their mothers, their fathers, their siblings. I have seen them break down at the loss of their families. I have seen them cling to their dead and grieve.
I have seen fathers cradle their dead children, seen them kiss their faces and hold their little hands. I have seen them faint with grief when asked to identify the dead. I have seen them carry their sons and daughters. I have seen them fasting to provide what little they can for their families.
I have seen men and boys digging through the rubble with just their bare hands, I have seen them comforting strangers, playing with children, rocking them, hushing them, even if the face of such imminent danger. I have seen them cry, seen them grieve, seen them break down into each other's arms, seen them be selfless, beyond selfless, becoming something I don't have a word for.
I have seen the men who are doctors refuse to leave their patients, even when they have no medicine or supplies to give them, even when they're threatened with bombings. I have seen fathers who have lost all their children pick orphans up into their arms and proclaim them their child so they are not alone. I have seen men and boys digging pets out of the rubble.
the men are innocent too. the men and boys are being hurt and killed too. the men and boys are grieving too. the men and boys are scared too. the men and boys are fighting to save their people too. the men and boys deserve to be fought for too.

was talking with a friend about how some of dunmeshi fаndom misunderstands kabru's initial feelings towards laios.
to sum up kabru's situation via a self-contained modernized metaphor:
kabru is like a guy who lost his entire family in a highly traumatic car accident. years later he joins a discord server and takes note of laios, another server member who seems interesting, so they start chatting. then laios reveals his special interest and favorite movie of all time is David Cronenberg's Crash (1996), and invites kabru to go watch a demolition derby with him

soooo much of the modern conception of gender is based around products and consumerism that people can’t even identify actual misogyny anymore. People reply to posts “It’s sexist to hate on something so many women enjoy” and that something would be a Stanley cup
