Genuinely amused when people who don't know anything about Christianity try to draw on it as a source for their fantasy -- "Oh this is my half-demon OC who takes damage from holy things and is stuck in a church, better hope that communion wine in the back doesn't spill anywhere!" You mean the regular. wine in the back? The very normal alcohol that is completely indistinguishable from any other alcohol to anyone at all until the actual communion ceremony? The Mogen David? That wine? Okay. Sure. *is imagining your OC screaming and running from a liquor store*

The funniest possible outcome of all these Google antitrust disclosures re: deceptively re-writing people's search queries in order to maximise Google's ad revenue would be if the corporations that paid for those ads decide that Google has been defrauding them the whole time. The ultimate "bite each other's dicks off" scenario.

It seems that no matter how much I try, the book stays upside down...

I have mostly completed my Duke Thomas reading list if anyone wants to check it out! :] it covers everything from zero year to the power company stuff coming out right now. It also has information about which trades to pick up for easiest reading. I am planning to add more non-canon comic information to the reading list soon!

this is incredibly niche, but what did you expect me to think after watching a movie about forbidden, never-before-seen love that is potentially life threatening to those involved?

Hi friends. I am begging you. If you are learning Chinese. Learn how to search the name-in-Chinese and then some of these terms online:

"show" dianshiju 电视剧

"watch" kan 看

"novel" xiaoshuo 小说

"read" yuedu 阅读

"online" zaixian 在线

"free" mianfei 免费

"sub" zimu 字幕

"comic" manhua 漫画

"animation" donghua 动画

"audiobook" yousheng duwu 有声读物

"audio book" yousheng shu 有声书

"dub" 配音 (Specifically for Chinese dubs: 国语, 台配, 普通话)

There's MANY Chinese websites, just as many pirating sites as in English. If you can search for what you want to find in Chinese, it is ridiculously easy to find it. You can find whatever you want (mostly), if you just search in Chinese! Just search Google, or Duckduckgo, or searx.space search engine of choice! And yes, I've brought this up before. I've mentioned these search terms in other posts. They're useful!

chimera has posted a pride image of his fursona. i am going to identify the terms like i did with his meteorcare/clovercare pride images because the full extent of how gross it is that someone identifies this way and is proud of it is indescribable. image and terms will be under the cut in case anyone doesn't want to see it.

loligender - underage/prepubescent girl character gender (flag by his fiance, Loki)

intoxiphilia - intoxication fetish

hyperromantic - unwanted and/or excessive feelings of romantic attraction

agefluid - a transage term for someone whose internal age changes over time (the specific flag he chose for this is not a radqueer/transage term! he stole a did/osdd system flag!)

masochism - being hurt/pain fetish

hemaetophilia - blood fetish

fictomap (fictional pedophilia) - attraction to fictional children/child characters in media

automap (autopedophile) - fetish for imagining yourself as a child being abused by a pedophile

pomogender - a gender that doesn't want to be labeled/cannot fit any existing labels

xenogender - a gender spectrum that goes beyond the normal human understanding of gender (concepts, animals, plants, etc.)

pup play - i can't sum puppy play up into one sentence. here's the wikipedia page for it if you're interested. it is generally a kink/bdsm/leather thing, but not always. important to note that it is not bestiality/zoophilia.

transage - an identity where your internal (intra) age doesn't match your real/chronological (chrono) age. transage is heavily used by radqueers/transid/maps (pedophiles), while the term chronosian is generally used by did/osdd system members, people who are neurodivergent, or people with trauma/brain damage.

kodocon - attraction to underage/prepubescent characters of all genders (girls/loli, boys/shota, nonbinary/crona/nana)

Have just discovered the hilarious fact that you can apparently bypass google's ai overview feature by adding the word "fuck" to your search.

"How many vegetables should I eat" gets an ai but "How many vegetables should I eat fuck" and "how many fucking vegetables should I eat" both skip right to the MyPlate website as the top search result. They must have completely scrubbed curses from their database.

okay re: tana. i put these thoughts as tags on a different post originally but i think i will also put them here on their own:

assessing whether tana fits the predatory woc trope is thorny. like it's not at all cut and dry like liu in nightwing 96 or shado in ga88; in those cases an asian woman takes advantage of a white boy/man, but in tana's case its like… kesel doesn't actually think she's done anything wrong? the narrative even props her up as the morally upright and responsible one - like in aos502 when she kicks out rex and roxy and says they're trying to take advantage of kon. so like on the one hand yes a woc grooming a white boy fits the trope. on the other well. kesel didn't think he was writing grooming. he thought it was just the hot older woman fantasy, presumably bc he thought boys can't be abused by women.

like in the case of knockout, she's bad because she lied about committing that murder and used kon for her reputation/as an escape vehicle to dodge the law. she is not written as being in the wrong for grooming him. the only problem is that she's a villain; the fact that she's an adult woman dating and making a lot of sexual innuendos at a 15/16 year old boy is never addressed, because to kesel, that isn't actually a problem.

as far as tana goes, it's… hm. dissectable? to me, that one of tana's most consistent character traits is ambition. that she is shown to be using kon for her career, and that she isn't portrayed negatively for doing that? like the people who comment on it are generally written off as assholes in the wrong who are being shitty to tana, like vinnie edge in the bit w stinger where he blackmails her with her job. when people at work gossip about her dating a teenager behind her back, or talk about the conflict of interest re: her dating the hero she's always reporting on, she isn't really written as actually being in the wrong - she's written as a woman faced with a somewhat hostile working environment where people refuse to understand her. like, yes, she wants to use kon for her career, but she's still a Good Person™ for it (unlike, say, rex).

like kesel so clearly wanted the reader to like and sympathize with her and see her as the best love interest. he parallels her to lois directly at least once. she's mature and responsible and a classy woman with a job who thinks ahead. he wanted her to contrast with kon, who is a brash teenager fully living in the moment and concerned mostly with fun and the now. (and it's wild bc kesel writes it like she's supposed to be good for him in that regard but it comes off as like. uh. yeah man that is a grown ass woman dating a teenager. of course she thinks he's immature. even their breakup is written very much to portray kon as the one in the wrong - sympathetically to him, sure, but he took her away from her job and ignored her demands to go back and her protests that she was working on something important, because he wanted to go out with her for a day of impulsive fun, which was immature of him and disrespectful of her job, so of course she walks away. it's in line with her career ambition as a character trait, and it's written very sympathetically to her.)

and it's just so tangled up in kesel's fantasies of what teenage boys clearly desire. like imo it's genuinely not easy to say definitively that she fits the predatory woc stereotype, entirely bc kesel is so seemingly unaware that he's writing her being a predator. he writes her as a sympathetic character that a lot of other characters like and respect, such as dubbilex or sam makoa - the fact that any of her behavior is predatory goes entirely unacknowledged by the narrative. the only people who say she's weird for dating a kid are people she, and thereby effectively the narrative, brushes off as not understanding the bond she and kon have. which, ironically, is exactly the argument you often made see in cases of real grooming. (same as how in aos502, she, a grown-ass adult, describes this 15 year old she just met three weeks ago as her best friend. red flag much??? except kesel again isn't writing it as that.)

like, idk man, tana as a character and what she means narratively are kind of hard to pin down, because of the cognitive dissonance between what kesel thought he was writing vs what he actually wrote. he seemed aware that he was writing things that were like, actually fucked up! but at the same time narratively refused to actually engage with any of them as exploitative and harmful - kon's relationship with rex leech is another example of this. it's wild. lots to ponder there, though.
