Kinda funny how I really like the anime aesthetic but I watch way more cartoons than anime shows... I really only know vocaloid. A lot of the appeal is kinda wasted on me anyways since so much emphasis is put on waifus but as a gay man that just doesn't do much for me

Been busy with a few different fic projects, but something that I’ve been going back to a lot is parenthood in the ana camp.

Julius, losing his parents in a flood. Joshua, constantly feeling like a burden to his family, hiding his own reaction to Julius’ adoption so his father doesn’t feel guilty. How quickly Alviero takes Julius as his pride and the influence he’s clearly had on his children, being so kind to a young Anastasia and Mimi in Before Memories.

Then on Ana’s side, you have Ricardo who becomes her father figure with little resistance, getting a job where she works just to look after her. The landlady that takes Ana in too, and her bond with Halibel.

Roshi with the triplets, who then leaves them to Ricardo and Ana to look after. The same triplets who take Joshua under their wing, while Ricardo gives his blessing to Julius with Ana.

They’re all just so,,, connected. A family that care for each other greatly in their own ways. You cant really cut any of them out—losing Julius has Ana retreat to her od, scared to lose him, and losing Joshua really gets to Julius and even Ricardo, a little. Tivey doesn’t leave Joshua’s side after everything.

Emilia camp’s seen as like, one big family because of Subaru’s closeness with Beatrice, Meili, Petra, Garf, Ram etc and its definitely a valid take. But I think Ana camps the one thats closest to just being a family, with Tappei even addressing them (pre Josh and Juli) as such in an SS. Fits in amazingly with not just the emilia camp

Think this line from Ana says it best:

Upon noticing that, Anastasia pointed at Julius. “You were once wonderin’ why I was so confident in myself… Would ya get it if I said I got it from him?”

“That is…” Joshua uttered.

“Not jus’ him, though,” Anastasia continued, gracefully putting her hand on her cheek. “Tivey, Mimi, and Hetaro, too. What the hell, I’ll even add Ricardo to the list… And, of course, you’re in it too, Joshua.”

I need to figure out what I’m doing with the Wyvern Speak trait, whether it’s a solely Irene-Descendant trait or a sign of any divine blood, since I am giving the trait to Garroth in my rewrite.

I feel like it’s fun as an Irene-only trait but I don’t know how people feel about fucking up the divine descendant-cy or whatever, people are very latched onto Protector-Descent Garf.

Weekend links

My posts

I have been amorphously unwell (migraines, dizziness, aches) this week, which is super great. I am, in fact, daunted by the complexities and unknowns.

See "Personal tag of the week" at the bottom for updates on the Tumblr happenings.

Reblogs of interest

Thousands of Israelis protest in Tel Aviv, demanding a hostage release/ceasefire deal and new elections.

I never know how to segue from a serious news item.

Theseus liveblogs the labyrinth, and it’s heartbreaking.

It seems that y’all do not understand that the Better Call Saul ads are just how we live in the US, and that I pass five Alexander Shunnarah billboards just to get a quesadilla.

Personal tag of the week

“the happenings” is my tag for all internet platform bullshit. This week, it’s Tumblr, as CEO Matt Mullenweg lost his shit and started harassing a trans user (including on another platform). This is a factual explanation early in the week of what happened and how it started: 

predstrogen (the first blog) was allegedly deleted for “sexually explicit material” despite any posts that may have been labelled as such being marked with a community label and her blog recently being manually approved as NOT containing adult content. she also talks in this post, as well as here, about how she has had a support ticket open for several months for harassment she was receiving that has not been dealt with

the CEO of tumblr made a post wherin he publicly aired information regarding her deletion and threatened legal action against her , showing examples of the alleged death threats where no actual threats were made and telling people in the replies to just leave if they were unhappy with the moderation of the site

Specifically, he was upset by the expressed wish that he perish in a car covered in hammers that would explode multiple times, a serious threat that could surely come to fruition in reality. If you can't tell that I'm being sarcastic, congratulations, you're CEO material.

It spiraled from there, but suffice it to say, it ended with trans employees posting on the Staff account (reblog here with commentaries):

The reality of predstrogen’s suspension was not accurately conveyed, and made it seem like we were reaching for opportunities to ban trans feminine people on the platform. This is not the case. The example comment shared in the post linked above does not meet our definition of a realistic threat of violence, and was not the deciding factor in the account suspension. Matt thereafter failed to recognize the harm to the community as a result of this suspension. Matt does not speak on behalf of the LGBTQ+ people who help run Tumblr or Automattic, and we were not consulted in the construction of a response to these events.

While the post is sincerely emotional and brave, the real chess move is this part:

We appreciate the space we have been given to express our concerns and dissent, and we are thankful that Matt’s (and Automattic’s) strong commitment to freedom of expression has facilitated it. We will continue to fight to make Tumblr safe for us all.

Matt Mullenweg now either has to nod and go, “Yeah, yeah... I’m a great guy committed to freedom...” Or he can, I don’t know, shut the site down in a fit of defiant pique? All I’m going to say about this is that the day all this first went down, I started archiving any posts I’d put significant effort into last year, and I’ll be crossposting them on Dreamwidth and Patreon. I don’t want to lose Tumblr’s culture and unique platform--I mean, I think the Weekend Links themselves make a case for the fact that there is nothing else like Tumblr on the internet. And shutting down is not even necessarily the most likely outcome--but I’m not gonna be caught unprepared, either.
