NEW BSD EPISODE, THOUGHTS

There was a lot of cool stuff that happened this episode! The ADA reuniting scene with Atsushi tackle hugging Kunikida and Kyouka having to physically keep herself from also tackle hugging her family, Seeing Tecchou again, bunch of old man yaoi, Ranpo being an absolute delight and my favorite character he is so cool I love him and so does half of the police force, the appearance of our boy Akutagawa, And a bunch of really cool animation choices! The part where Atsushi was talking about how he was scared and then the words saying fear condensed and turned into Atsushi was awesome, and I think I saw a style change when they were talking about Fukuchi's backstory, and style changes are always awesome. We still haven't seen what the ending looks like but from what I could hear of it the song is pretty good!

What I want to talk about the most though is stuff that I heard about from the Fukuchi backstory, before that though I just wanna say,

BSD FANDOM PLEASE. I KNOW WE HATE FUKUCHI BUT THERE WAS SO MUCH STUFF ABOUT HIM THAT WE SOULD TALK ABOUT MORE!!! First of all, the fact that he has three movies based on him and that most of the united nations guys seem to have a crush on him is fucking hilarious. And second of all, this is the part I want to scream about,

ONE OF HIS PAST EXPLOITS IN THE WAR WAS ABOUT HIM GETTING RID OF A PROJECT THAT WAS CREATING WERE-PEOPLE!!! WERE-PEOPLE!!!

WHO DO WE KNOW THAT HAS A WERE-PERSON POWER, A STILL SLIGHTLY NOT EXPLAINED PAST (LOOKING AT YOU 'Compared to what your parents did to you when you were first born this doesn't even count as abuse') AND WHATEVER THE FUCK MADE HIM SO SPECIAL IN THE DEAD APPLE (LOOKING AT YOU USING YOUR ABILITY EVEN WHEN YOUR ABILITY CRYSTAL HAD ALREADY BEEN REMOVED AND ALSO IT'S BLUE WHEN ALL THE OTHER CRYSTALS WERE RED)?

THATS RIGHT. FUCKING

ATSUSHI

Am I yelling too much? Quite possibly. Do I care? NO! THIS INFORMATION COULD BE SO IMPORTANT!!! THE VAMPIRE'S THAT THEY MENTIONED APPEAED AGAIN, WHO SAYS THAT THIS MIGHT NOT SHOW UP LATER!!?

I have done the math, the war ended about 11 to 12 years ago, meaning that Atsushi had been born already while the war was still going on, it's entirely possible that he might be connected to that incident!! And while it does kinda seem like that whole thing happened kinda early on in the war, well that's what parents are for!

This could also tie into whatever is connecting him to the book, if the tiger is an artificial ability created by some government, maybe they used the book or something like that! To be completely honest I am constantly grasping at straws to figure out what the heck is up with Atsushi and the book, I have no idea what could be connecting them, but, the more theories you have the more likely that one of them will be correct!!

Now, from this point on I'm going to be discussing manga spoilers, so anime onlys beware.

I am both so hyped and so fucking scared for next Wednesday, for as we all know, Akutagawa does exactly three things in this arc, show up, be gay, and die. He's accomplished the first one, I'm excited for the second one, and the third one terrifies me. I DON'T WANT HIM TO DIEEEEEEEEEE!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!! But I'm also so excited for 'you know the reason yourself, don't you?' and 'run, you fool (soft smile)' and 'from the start the hole was only for his ally to escape through' because, shin soukoku canon. But also all of the gay shit comes with the knowledge of what comes next and AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!! FUCK!

Also, one thing that happened in this episode kinda reminded me of a question I had.

Where the fuck are Junichirou and Kenji???

Have they just been wandering the port mafia underground this entire time? I know that Juni probably runs into them again, or at least runs into Kunikida, but does he ever meet up with Atsushi or the rest of the agency at all? Or does he just get kidnapped off screen and we don't see him until they reveal him tied to the bed? And what about Kenji?? Does he just walk around with no idea what's going on with the agency until he meets Tecchou? Where is he???

Anyways, great episode can't wait for next week!!!

Could u recommend some of ur favorite BL series etc it can be literally anything from shows to manga— just whatever has really stood out to you<3 (ily)

OMG I’m sorry this is so late, I like... look at messages and mean to respond but nevah do. Anyways let’s get into it:

Miss Theo’s Must Reads:

Life, Our Love by the Line / White Line Game - hands down unbelievably good BL read, realistic, time skip,

Hyacinth - omegaverse secret baby timeskip romance, don’t be put off by the omegaverse tag, it’s only basically there to give the MC a reason to be a single dad connected to the LI, this iso endlessly rereadable and beautiful

A Typical Romance - the uke is such a fascinating character, he’s so deeply flawed, manipulative, and self-loathing but in a high functioning realistic way, the seme is a doctor who has his own issues to deal with but is such a MAN too, can you see the pattern in what I love? realism

The Cornered Mouse Dreams of Cheese / The Carp on the Chopping Block Jumps Twice - realistic bastard MC and love interest, dubious morals, but so realistic in the complex nature of being gay

A Night of a Thousand Dreams - One thousand and one nights but gay and deeply rich narrative, not explicit and more BL than yaoi but you can really feel the affection between the characters

Mr. Ao’s Daydream - super lighthearted story about an MC who has terminal dumb bitch syndrome because he can’t stop fantasizing about his deliveryman, then there’s his nosy neighbor who sells sex toys constantly visiting ;)

Kekkon Suru Kamoshirenai Otoko - a 30 year old man comes to terms with his home of sexuality and meets a nice young guy in a less than ideal situation, they strike up a friendship which leads to something more but the LI is worried the MC will go back into the closet eventually

johnten: a phrase that seems like it has existed since before the sands of time. it’s provocative, it’s excting, it’s.... fake?! yes readers, everyone’s favorite little jock x twink interactions were the brainchild of something even worse than a classic SM-planted gaybait, and I, user SorryJohnny am here to singlehandedly put a stop to the abomination that we currently call johnten. I have information that I intend will cause you little freaks known as johnten shippers to go into extinction. i know what you’re thinking: but user Sorry Johnny, ten had an intense sexual attraction to johnny! no you fucking donkey! this was all an illusion put into your tiny little pea brains that are so quickly satisfied with even an ounce of male on male flirting and angst that you’ve been blinded this whole time. let’s pull up the evidence. my suspicions of johnten began with the infamous vlive titled "💚쟈니 텐 출사 준비중 시즈 니 도와주세요💚" braodcasted on july 12, 2018, which is otherwise titled as “johnny and tennie’s photo club” by YouTube creator brickbackstrony. it makes me sick to my stomach. yaoi-consuming freaks with no free time flocked to create edits & AUs based off of ten referring to johnny as a “top model” & saying he “lit his fire”. in fact, YouTube creator bringbackstrony claims ten *shivers in gay*. YouTube editors make me incredibly nauseous. straight kboos who have never spoken to a gay person in their entire live were too busy leaking their panties to pay attention to the cold hard proof at hand. when ten accidentally cut the crap. at timestamp 42:27, the slander begins, with ten bringing up johnny’s “thin lips” resulting in johnny looking visually offended. it only gets worse from there. at 43:13 ten releases an utter truth that he has been holding since SM rookies: “I think you look very weird.” no, user SorryJohnny, he quickly corrected himself and meant the drawing! no, reader, he went on to say “like sometimes, sorry.” he couldn’t cover up what he had done, so all he could do was apologize. that powerful statement, ringing through my ears as i lie to rest at night, “i think you look very weird” is the most genuine string of words that have ever come out of that pot-stirrer’s mouth. and i mean that sincerely, as someone who would, sadly, get gunned down in the street over that little shit starting fairy. he goes on to reveal a horrendous drawing of “johnny” that i can only describe as This Man, you know, the one with the unibrow that we see in our dreams? ten the man who designed his own tattoos. ten, the man who wants to create his own jewelry line. ten, the man who forced us all to witness his drawings of softcore porn peacock feather pussies 2 months ago... wait, you’re a johfam and you don’t know that ten did that? i’m sorry, it’s best you don’t try to find it. you’re telling me ten, the multilingual main dancer main vocalist sometimes rapper illustrator put out that visceral steaming pile of dog shit into the world and called it JOHNNY? do with that information what you will. so where does this leave us, reader? ten thinks johnny is very ugly. what now? what caused this entitled little f- to act like that exactly? that’s where things get interseting, and honestly, quite brutal. i firlmy believe that ten does want to have sex with one bitter, pretentious, ancient old hack known as wayv’s qian kun, which is something i find very abysmal in and of itself, and should be considered beastiality, but that’s obviously for another time. so this brings us to the question at hand, how does ten flirt sincerely? openly and fruity, or by pining and angst? given his pisces placement, the latter is the correct answer. given this information, we find that ten in fact did not find john suh sexually or romantically attractive. we’re back to the square one; what caused that little fruit to publicly say he wanted to have sex with him and utter abhorrent visual statements such as that of the nightmare-inducing “john’s banana?” why, you ask? it’s simple: ten is a bully. why would ten make a bunch of 16 year old straight girls with blue hair and fujoshi kinks think that he found johnny suh to be the sexiest man alive? and why did he make an entire population of women age 18+ with daddy issues and stockholm syndrome believe the same thing? he answer is self explanatory. why does the republican jock pretend he has a crush on the ugly pimple-ridden sjw in a nyan cat shirt? harassment, bullying, and an unhealthily high sense of self. ten is a narcissist. he walked into SM one day to meet one 6’0 tall chicagoan accented john jun suh with as much sex appeal as mr. rogers and thought to himself “this is the ugliest man i’ve ever seen in my god-given life. i think i will pretend i want to have sex with him.” and thus, the terrorism that some like to call “johnten” and others like to call “a visual abomination to the gay population and mankind as a whole” was birthed, by none other than the manipulative, gas-lighting little bundle of nerves with a name that fits the entire alphabet; chittaphon leechaiyapornkul. the bastard. it’s hard to say if the little fruit started this act out of malice or pity. either way, the inflation of that plastic surgery monster’s ego was a strategically targeted hate crime on us all. why would he do that? why would he make an entire population of innocent nctzens trying to thirst over sexy little lee taeyong in silence endure the inflated ego of a 25 year old straight man that dresses like a geriatric patient? this, i cannot say. but one thing i do know for sure, is that ten deserves extended jail time for this horrid act of what, pity? ego? malice? on 10velys and johfam alike. all that’s left to say is, i’m sorry johnny suh.

#in honor of me realizing they returned <3

What do you feel about the post about Vic mignogna by ultraericthered

https://ultraericthered.tumblr.com/post/183990672385/im-sick-of-the-rangers-spamming-vics-tag-with

Let’s break this down.

Vic is absolutely guilty of inappropriate behavior, misconduct, sexual harassment, and possibly (just possibly) sexual assault towards others. This has been established by his pattern of behavior for years. Monica and the others are being entirely honest in their stories and the allegations are very likely honest as well. How this is even in question, I have no idea, but it upsets and disturbs me that there are so many who are quick to jump to Vic’s defense while simultaneously vilifying his opponents and accusers (and possibly victims).

A, He hasn’t been proven guilty of exual harassment OR assault and inapporiate behavior means nothing.

And B. yeah, no. Monica has been lying via omission for months now, refusing to give ANY details on any incidents DESPITE the fact that those details are REQUIRED to convict him. And before you say she’s scared: she’s openly threatened vic supporters with legal action. Over asking her for info. That is not the behavior of an innocent person.

Oh and C. NOTHING came to light about Vic for MONTHS. The ProJared shit started and ended in the same month.

What gives credibility to the side of Monica Rial, Jamie Marchi, Jamie McGonnigal, Marzgurl, etc. is that not only do their words and allegations line up with accounts of Vic’s skeevy behavior towards fans and women that have been going around the internet for YEARS (It’s honestly astonishing just how far back some of this goes), but how many other VAs, people actually in the industry who might’ve worked alongside Vic and would be there to witness his actions, have come out in Vic’s defense? Can’t really think of much. Meanwhile, how many have been coming out in support of the alleged victims? Quite a handful, even J. Michael Tatum, himself a victim of sexual assault in the past. Apparently, Vic being a primadona and a skeevy womanizing creeper has been an open secret in the VA industry since forever.

And of these guys:

Monica has evaded legal action and refused to give details NECESSARY to convict him

Marzgurl has sactively ENOCURAGE VIOLENCE

And Jamie has been proven to bully people into dropping Vic from cons.

As for the ‘accounts”: they’re eitehr anonyomous accounts, too old to prove...or taken out of context of the people involed.

And by the way. how many famous people probably came out and said ‘that guy’s a commie’ back during the Red Scare? People coming out to help doesn’t MEAN anything without proof. People in the wrong can still come out in droves. And if that doesn’t convince: does that mean rape victims who don’t have public support while their rapists DO are the ones in the wrong then? Same logic of ‘One party has more public support than the other, therefore they’re right.’

What’s damning on Vic’s side of things? Well not only was a thorough investigation into the sexual harassment allegations conducted during the time of the Broly movie’s production prior to Funimation’s decision to lay Vic off (something his fans don’t even seem to realize happened) -

You mean the one where they didn’t give any info and was probably a ‘cut off the controversial figure for profit’ decision?

- but Vic’s response to the whole situation has…just not been how I think an absolutely innocent man getting his career and livelihood threatened by accusation of things he absolutely never did and would never do would respond. Vic’s been pretty sincere and professional throughout this and I give him props for that, but his “defenses” against the allegations have always been along the lines of “I remember things differently” or “I didn’t realize she felt that way - I thought that thing we had was consensual and mutual.” Of course he’s not going to recall those incidents as being ones where he committed sex offenses because he did not see his actions as being such when he committed them. He fails to recognize how and why his behavior is so wrong. He doesn’t knowingly think of himself as a sex fiend and harasser when he acts that way - he really thinks he’s being nice (backed up by the allegation where he repeatedly asked his victim to “let me be sweet to you.”). But those moments were not consensual. The girls and women he touched or romanced were not comfortable with it.-

And Monica has threatened legal action and Marzgurl thretaened PHYSICAL VIOLENCE.

You wanna judge this based on public reaction? Show me where Vic threatens anyone who questions him.

What his intentions were at the time don’t matter when put next against how his victims internalized his actions and how they were made to feel -

No, intentions DO matter. That’s why ‘self defense’ and ‘murder’ are different concepts.

And on top of that, look at how Monica Rial worded her own account:

This, by contrast, is Vic’s wording of his side of things. He “got lazy.” He’s “a work in progress like everyone else.” And my personal favorite: “Voice actors are no different from you: we’re bozos. We’re all dumb humans just trying to do our best.” The emotions are sincere, but the words are unrefined and a bit try-hard in trying to paint a sympathetic image of himself.

And Monica, by your own standards, is trying to appeal to basic human empathy to trick people into believing her. Thing is, Vic is consistent in his actions. Monica has acted contradictory MANY times.

And what’s damning on the side of Vic’s fans and defenders? Well, I could not help but notice that they can be found all over Youtube, hive of the Far Right that it’s become-

Strike 1.

I also could not help but notice that whenever I clicked a video made for supporting Vic and tearing down his opposition and accusers (who, again, could very well be his victims), it was literally ALWAYS a dude speaking.

Strike 2.

It was always some man speaking in defense of this other man who he probably doesn’t even personally know in a situation he wasn’t there to experience and knows next to shit about, and demonizing “waamen” that he also doesn’t personally know. And in all of this, I have not once seen any valid reasoning for why Vic absolutely must be innocent of the allegations made against him other than “he’s a super popular, charming, beloved VA” and “he seems like such a nice guy”. It’s frankly quite terrifying that the immediate default for these people is to stand with the popular, prolific, powerful man (and I don’t want to be an SJW here, but that Vic is handsome, white, straight/cis, and Christian might be a huge part of it

Strike 3-

Not only is this gonna EMBOLDEN the assholes on Vic’s side-

But Monica’s defenders (like YOU) have focused on gender and bullshit instead of anything FACTUAL. You act like anyone whose accused of sexual assault is IMMEDIATELY guilty if the accuser is a woman and teh accused is a man. Never mind how most of these accusations come down to simple miscommunication between the parties and nevermind how if a guy tries coming to the police about being raped, it’s likely HE’LL be arrested. Let alone what happens if the woman gets pregnant and can sue for child support...even if she committed STATUTORY RAPE.

Oh, and Vic’s italian and that culture is very touchy feely. So guess what? You’re racist by your own logic.

and denounce the women who come forward to accuse him as being liars because this is exactly why women who are victimized by men of such power and popularity tend to NOT come forward with stories of their victimization immediately after it happens. Yes, anyone is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law, but that doesn’t mean the accusers should be denounced as liars and demonized for daring to mess with the man - they ought to be shown support and respect IF in the case what they say is true and they really were hurt by that man. If they’re proven liars beyond any doubt, THEN they can be given well deserved scorn. But brushing them off beforehand is Not OK. Especially if it’s with conspiracy theories about how this is some big coordinated feminist effort to tear down a great man and destroy his livelihood, or it’s a retaliation from yaoi fangirls who hate that Vic dares to be anti-yaoi and Conservative in regards to gay people.

And yet you condemn Vic before he is proven to be lying.

Sorry, either condemn yourself or be better.

These assclowns have also constantly resorted to the defense of “Oh, hugging other people and kissing them in places not on the lips totes isn’t sexual harassment”. Totally ignoring the little details of the girls getting the hugs typically being total strangers to Vic outside of being fans of his work who are thus underage girls being touched by a grown man who has absolutely no relation to them, that he might have done the same with female co-workers behind the scenes, and that he has done these things on a whim, without the recipient’s consent and without paying any mind to how it might make them feel.

Also ignoring if they give consent like that time someone tried portraying Vic touching a supposedly underage girl only to BACKFIRE as the womana spoke out in defense of the man.

This has been a consistent pattern of behavior with him,

Consistently unproven.

and allegedly, he’s justified it with saying “silence gives consent.” Like a girl or woman absolutely has to verbally say “no” or tell him outright that he’s making them feel uncomfortable for it to be considered wrong and unwarranted. Basically “a lack of a No makes it a Yes.” I can’t begin to describe how gross that is.

So Vic has to be a fucking MINDREADER or else.

Great to know, especially considering how my own condition would make this shit damn near impossible to see.

The worst part is how these IStandWithVic cultists demonize Monica Rial. A woman who, by her own admission, was a victim of rape as a teenager.

Says the man who demonizes Vic.

A woman who has shown nothing but emotional and intellectual honesty and kindness on social media, who has acknowledged that even Vic and his fans don’t deserve to be harassed and hurt, to the point of stating this:

https://twitter.com/Rialisms/status/1095156641543192576

Funny how she says this TWO DAYS LATER than your picture.

But she’s both painted as a vicious liar who’s out to destroy a good, innocent man’s life and career, and is ALWAYS being written off by these dudes as just “the VA for Bulma.” As though she’s had no other notable roles in her long career of voice acting aside from that one character (as opposed to the oh-so talented, versatile and legendary star that is Vic). As though that character has had only one English VA. As though Monica just plain doesn’t matter when put next to a fellow VA in the industry who happens to be a handsome white, straight/cis, Christian male.

Keep being a bigoted douchebag, I can hear the alt RIght cumming.

And as though Monica had any feasible reason to lie about her experiences with Vic and assassinate his character on social media.

*points at you and your blind defense of her*

the pro-Vic crowd seems to think she’s greedy or jealous or just resentful towards Vic as a person, and is out to get him so that she can get money or respect or more roles or petty revenge or whatever.

Literally change ‘vic’ to ‘monica and that’d describe you.

But if that were really the case, how does that account for the friends and family who support her claims? How does it account for the fellow VAs (Jamie Marchi, Jamie McGonnigal, J. Micahel Tatum, Josh Grelle, Justin Briner, Daman Mills) who’ve all supported her claims and have said “Yeah, Vic’s been like that forever.

‘Get social brownie points’

How does it account for the fans and congoers who have been sharing their stories of uncomfortable experiences and encounters they’ve had with Vic FOR YEARS?

‘Stories’ are not truth.

The deck is NOT stacked in Vic’s favor here, so “he’s successful, popular, funny, friendly, charming, talented and a classic VA who’s so well loved in the anime community” is NOT going to cut it as an assumption of his innocence or a defense for his character.

No, that’s the legal system that says ‘innocent until proven guilty.’

He needs to be held accountable for his misdemeanors against people who gave no consent to being touched, hugged, kissed, stalked, romanced, or squicked out by him.

And yet Monica threatening legal action and Marzgurl making THREATS OF VIOLENCE? A-Ok.

It’s a Michael Jackson type of situation - even if he’s NOT done the things he’s being accused of, that does NOT make his creepy behavior towards underage fangirls excusable or alright.

Funny thing about Micheal Jackson-

The accusations, when you actually pay attention, are complete bullshit. Events don’t line up, accounts vary wildly, facts contradict stories. And yet he STILL suffered until the day he died and BEYOND. So thanks for remindidng why, as much as I hate Yellow Flash, Hero Hei and Nick Riekta-

You idiots are the worse evil.

Tl;dr: I shall from now on be referring to this VA as “Vic Cosby Mignogna.” ‘Cause even if he’s not guilty of the heinous shit that Bill Cosby is guilty of, his case is still all too eerily similar.

#IStandWithMonica

So does that mean if I call Monica ‘Monikkka’- She’s a KKK member now?

Oh wait, you wouldn’t give two shits if the places were reversed would you? For your cry of ‘I’m not an SJW!’- You sure do sound like the fucking strawman it represents.

Summer 2019 Anime Season

Here’s what I’m watching:

To the Abandoned Sacred Beasts is an action series that’s basically about the Civil War (but in a fantasy country! So no one gets offended! I guess) being won on the strength of a military unit made up of people who can transform into mythological beasts (think werewolves, sirens, centaurs, etc.). And then those people begin to go mad and start killing for no reason after the war is over, so it’s up to their captain, Hank, to track them all down and put them out of their misery. It’s a pretty cool idea that results in some fun battles (wanna see a werewolf fight a minotaur? Now you can!). There’s also a hefty dose of tragedy, as pretty much all of these “beasts” were once kind and heroic human beings whom Hank viewed as family. I don’t know if the show is trying to make a point about PTSD suffered by former soldiers (I honestly don’t know if the show is that deep), but it can definitely be interpreted that way. The “beasts” still seem very human, even when they look like complete monsters. The art is nice, with some cool creature designs. I was initially annoyed by a certain female character’s design, as she has hilariously enormous boobs (they literally look like two giant beach balls glued to her chest) and she likes to wear low cut tops and mini-skirts as her “military uniform”. It was just so completely absurd. But she turned out to be an interesting character with a fun personality, not at all the “seductive temptress” type I was expecting. Also, right when I was thinking how annoyed I was with the fanservice surrounding this character, I realized that sexy, buff Hank was standing there in the same shot, shirtless. And he comes out of his shirt very often. So yeah, I can forgive the giant boobs chick as long as we have hot shirtless Hank.

Given is a beautiful, emotionally powerful yet subtle series about boys in a band. Most of the main characters are gay, bi (maybe pan?) or otherwise queer, but I hesitate to lump it into the yaoi category and leave it at that. To me, for a series to be called yaoi, I’ve always felt that it had to focus on the male/male relationships, which is why I consider Yuri on Ice a sports anime, not yaoi, and No. 6 a sci-fi drama, not yaoi, and so on. But Given really does focus on those relationships, yet it still feels very far removed from other anime in the genre, like World’s Greatest First Love and Love Stage. For one thing, the relationships feel totally natural and realistic, not at all like the stylized, often rapey relationships that so often plague the genre. Given is subtle, as I mentioned before. For the first several episodes, you’d have no idea any of the characters are queer if you hadn’t heard about it beforehand. Because Given builds a complicated story with real emotional intensity and complex relationships rather than beating us over the head with fanservice. The art is top notch, with varied, interesting character designs and a soft,warm color palette. As expected of a series about a rock band, the music is excellent, with my favorite opening theme of the season. Given can be a bit quiet, a bit slow-paced, but the painfully honest portrayals of love, infatuation, and loss are so universal and so well written that you can’t possibly be bored.

Dr. Stone is my favorite anime of the season, simply because it’s a fresh concept that I haven’t already seen a hundred times in anime. The basic premise is that one day, out of nowhere, a bright light fills the sky and every human being is immediately turned to stone, with most of them remaining conscious (at least for a while). It sounds horrific, actually. Nearly four thousand years later, our protagonists break free from their stone shells and find the earth reclaimed by nature, taking on a prehistoric look. One of those protagonists is Senku, a scientific genius who decides he’s going to restart civilization and bring technology back to the world. What makes Senku interesting is that, instead of being a cold, stoic sort of genius (the usual kind we get in anime), he’s actually a kind and funny guy (if a bit sarcastic and snarky) who cares deeply about his friends and genuinely wants to save the human race. This makes him a character you want to root for. The villain Tsukasa, a cunning and intelligent man who nevertheless relies on his physical strength to dominate his enemies (he killed a lion with his bare hands minutes after being revived from stone), is also compelling. The show also has interesting and varied lady characters, like the crafty and sweet Yuzuriha and the agile “lioness” Kohaku. The art isn’t a style I’m generally crazy about, but it does the job well, capturing a wild and fascinating world. The music is also great, with amazing opening and ending themes. Dr. Stone doesn’t shy away from things like murder and violence, but overall it’s a celebration of the accomplishments of mankind and the curiosity that drives all innovation.

The list is very short this season, and that’s mainly because I’ve had little patience for shows that just don’t keep me hooked. I’ve dropped three shows this season that I was pretty far into. One was “If It’s For my Daughter, I’d Even Defeat a Demon Lord”, about an adventurer in a fantasy world finding, and then adopting, a small orphan girl. I was very much enjoying this sweet, adorable series about their father/daughter bond. But since it’s based on a light novel series (light novels are often a cesspool of creepy male wish-fulfillment fantasy), you can probably guess what the “plot twist” I heard about was that made me drop the show like a hot potato, seven episodes in. There was also “Fire Force”, which had one of the most engaging and badass opening sequences in a first episode I’ve seen in years. I was all pumped up to love this series. Until I realized that literally every single named female character is there exclusively to be sexy and provide fanservice. How do you know an author has no idea how to write female characters? They rely on fanservice, because that’s the only way they can think of to make those characters likable to the young male audience the story is aimed at. Honestly, the protagonist can only accidentally stumble into so many “sexy situations” before it gets very, very tiresome for any viewer that’s not a twelve year old boy.

This takes me back.

Obligatory : “how dare you rub your filthy gay cooties on the sacred totally not gay friendship between two male characters” schtick😂 ------------- She finds the yaoi & yuri genres dehumanizing/rude to the original series plot-lines and to actual LGBTA people, and she sees the rabid yaoi fan-base as frighteningly aggressive (since she has been attacked on numerous occasions for her opinion). OMG THIS IS SUCH A FUCKING TREAT. Thank you so much! Acting as if those genres were purely fan creation instead of it’s own thing with original plot lines that were always meant to be gay? Ignoring how many times LGBT participate and make that content? Having absolutely no clue what words means? Classic anti all around! JUST LOOK AT HIS GOOD OLD ONE. Unlike the yaoi and yuri fandoms, hetero tends NOT to over-sexualize every pairing they support, and more often than not, hetero is usually canon and romantic/sentimental, NOT hardcore erotica which is why we're fine with it here. <- Because hetero shippers tend to keep they're artworks within the rules that D.A. has set out for us. (^_^) It’s like watching the proof that dinosaurs were giant chickens all along. These are the antis ancesters, folk, this is true history right here. You know how we know that it fails miserably? We looked up the words 'Vegeta' then 'Goku' from the shounen anime series Dragon Ball Z (two characters who are straight, are friendly rivals, have wives they love, and have children with those wives) and yeah...we ran into yaoi within the first few searches of them on Deviantart, Tumblr, AND on Google. They even had yaoi clubs of GokuxVegeta on Tumblr, which is like what the heck?! They're rivals, they have have wives and children! <- This was really depressing to see (since they got rid of ALL the female characters AND the kids so they can sexually exploit Goku and Vegeta together).... The nostalgia, man, I can’t, I can’t. What we don't agree with is when people sexually exploit our favorite characters just so they can drool over them ALL the freaking time. This a goldmine, omg, it’s like nothing has changed at all! Rabid fans like this make the normal yaoi/shounen-ai fans look really bad unfortunately. The sane yaoi fans will ship their own (original) gay characters and canon gay characters (which is cool with us), the rabid yaoi fans don't. Instead they ship any and ALL male characters regardless of their stories, or their relationships just so they can squeal at how 'hawt together' they are. <- This happens A LOT in South Park, Hetalia, Naruto, Death Note, etc. Well here at our non-yaoi support group we don't believe in that, we believe there is more to a character than what they look like naked or sexualized. To us they have stories, a background, and a journey. To us characters have meaning, and we embrace that here. The yaoi and yuri genres don't. They take characters, butcher them to suit their fetish and discard their journeys in order to fawn at how 'sexy' they are. When it comes down to it, it's no better than when a straight guy faps to a picture of two hot girls making out, it's the same damned thing. Literally the only difference with now is that they are just coating everything with fake social justicey tacky glitter shit, but it’s the same bullshit all around. The exact same bullshit, almost word for word. WHO COULD HAVE THOUGHT.

I think one of my biggest frustrations with this place cracking down on any and all porn, including the drawn kind, is that my sole purpose in coming to this site was to replace y-gallery

. Y-gallery, little kidlets and anyone who blinked and missed this site, was a site that was EXCLUSIVELY for male/male art and or stories. This was like a safehaven for little 17-18 yr old mel, who was going to a catholic school in the peak of 2007-2009 homophobic times. I had found and deeply enjoyed FAKE (by sanami matoh) and a few other choice Yaois, I eventually found some gay fanfics. And severely enthralled by a world where both partners had agency and an understandable reason for liking another person (not just HOT GIRL THAT I DESERVE AND HAS NO CHARACTER CAUSE WHY WOULD WE WRITE ONE FOR HER?). I had like 3 gay stories I’d made up in the meanwhile and nowhere “safe” to put this content. Oh I knew artists that were open about it on deviantart but like, it was nc17 material back in 2005-2009.

So when I found out about y-gallery from an artist promoting their account, I thought I’d finally found a place to be safe. I desperately waited till I was 18 and could make an account without being banned, and then dumped all my drawings and ideas and first serious fanart into that place. It wasn’t the best and was a weird mess of sexual fantasies when I was somewhat mistakenly coming for the emotional fantasies. But it was a place to BE and enjoy things.

And then y-gallery hit a snag, as it was growing too fast and was free to use and relied on donations and ads. It was running out of money and honestly had no real programmer behind it and needed servers?!?! like shit man. So there was a lot of juggling and assurances and passing of authority. But the writing was on the walls. This place wasn’t going to last. And like any good hiding animals the artists began to scatter. So I looked to my favorite ones and watched where they went, attempting to follow.

It was all tumblr. (I mean sure there were twitters and some furaffinities, but mostly tumblr). Time and time again, they were all going to tumblr and were all promising to use their tumblr for the kind of art they’d post on y-gal.

So I set up an account. I was excited to have a place where I was allowed to post more than men (like legit in the rules, no pieces of women except like if they were in the background or it was a weird side post that I forget what it waws called but it wasn’t a true post, like there were WEIRD RULES FRIENDS, I READ THE FUCKING TOS LIKE I WAS GONNA BE TESTED. DON’T GET ME STARTED ON THE STRANGE VIGNETTING CLAUSE) and there were communities for the movies and fandoms I was into

I slowly fell in love with this place, that liked my random thoughts (which no other platform had afforded me the peace of mind knowing no one needed me to be a certain way), that let me post literally any art of any two losers that decided to like each other, that let me yell about what I liked by reblogging it for everyone to see. So in 2010 I found the closest thing to an internet home I’d ever fucking had (apart from tegakiE a drawing site where I made friends I still have today) that let me have fun, enjoy dumb things, and explore my fantasies as an artist

this was the place where I could post EVERYTHING, this was the replacement for my ““dirty”“ art. Art which consisted of people being loved and having fulfilling relationships that sometimes include sex.

and I know that only the ACT OF SEX specifically is under attack right now (though also lady nipples for REASONS) but attacking that feels like taking out the foundation of the safe little house I built.

tumblr was a place where sex wasnt ‘‘DIRTY” DO YOU UNDERSTAND AS A CATHOLIC RAISED KID, HOW HARD AND LONG I HAD TO FIGHT TO NOT FEEL LIKE A DEVIANT FOR HAVING THE HUMAN DESIRE AND COMPULSION FOR WANTING SEX???? DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD I HAD TO FIGHT THROUGH YEARS OF SOCIALIZED BULLSHIT TO NOT FEEL BAD FOR LIKING SEXUAL CONTENT??? This glorious trashfire of a site helped me realize sex isn’t bad. It can be a wonderful, beautiful part of a healthy life and or relationship.

Deleting/hiding/flagging our content as inappropriate makes me feel like I’m being reprimanded for desiring and creating a loving sexual relationship again. It makes the four years of ingrained habit come back to lie to all but three of my highschool friends about the stories I would write and which characters were “girls” not boys.

And not this place was never perfect, but it was the closest to trust I’d ever had with an online site. And now I feel like I need to be worried. I feel like I need to hide again. I feel like I’m bad for what I like and want.

And I have no where else to go

no where else I want to go

I made my home here. I made friends here. I am fluent in how to post here. I feel like people appreciate me being ALIVE IN GENERAL on here.

and suddenly it’s not safe. A part of me is suddenly very not allowed.

And I have no where else to go

By policing this one thing, tumblr has raffirmed some backwards rules that I’d finally learned to ignore. And there’s so many more layers to this than just that but this is getting too long

and my point is that tumblr made a rule that defeated my entire purpose for making an account here

tumblr made itself just another platform that was unsafe and anxiety inducing

I came here to be able to make any content I wanted, and I now cannot

how does one proceed from this?

#irl shit #mel babbles #mel whines #anxiety issues #my inner catholic raised kid came out #my inner bullied 6th grader came out #i never do well with change #tumblr issues #idk what this is #just seemed important to say #and what is insomnia for #if not to barf out how you've finally realized having desires is a normal adult thing to have #and that tumblr putting rules on what desires are bad makes you feel like you gotta hide your emotional support shit #sighs #i'm not making sennsseee #i should try and sleepppp

THE KH FANDOM IS TOXIC THAT'S WHY...

This is to an artist I wrote an article talking about. Basically a little something about me and pedophilia. She’s 19 or 20 and I don’t like her. I don’t like her or the girl that accused me of being a pedophile over art. But this was so confusing and I didn’t want to argue with someone that young. I’m 21. I should know better but this was another case of Not knowing all the facts.

I will start it off. Like this, this was last year mind you. I have an imvu account. I’m always off and on imvu. Creating an account. Deleting. I actually enjoy that site because of the avatars.

And I started my first time on imvu, when I was in elementry. I think, maybe middle school.

Imvu is a chat website with 3D avatars in a virtual reality. The site is between good and bad. It’s a 50/50 win or lose type of thing. But last year, back when I had my laptop working. I had an account and got back on it. I was bored and I decided to play with this new upgrade to the chat.

It worked like tinder! I wasn’t planning to date anyone because at the time I was in a so called relationship. Previously I was on a dating website, badoo. Bad choice, don’t do it.

This artist on tumblr. Draws Xaldin from Kingdom Hearts with Lexaeus. She’s lesibian. Not important but to me it was and she had the stupidest reason behind this thing I shall explain.

She accused me of fetishizing, an Iranian. So, I’m swiping on these avatars on imvu. And I come across this guy who doesn’t have an avatar, it’s his face and I’m like he’s kinda ugly but his nose is cute. The thing I notice about guys is their nose. Now, I will admit this. Which is accurate.

If there was anything I truly was fetishizing. It was white men! And I still feel bad and no longer like white guys, in a sexual nature, they have weird dicks. Another reminder I am black. POC. Brown. African american. Whatever. I’m a nigga.

At the time when I swiped right on this boy who was 24 on his profile. He’s 25 now. Moments later he sent me a message and I didn’t think anyone would swipe on my card so this was surprising.

I didn’t get on imvu to date because I thought a boy named Tony Holt was my boyfriend. He said he cuffed me and I believed it. I was wrong. He said he liked black girls but in that way, you know actually fetishizing.

He messages me and says, my interest are funny. And I like making people laugh it gives me good vibes. So I say, I try my best. Eventually he invited me into a private chat and I accepted.

I was nervous as hell because like I said imvu is 50/50 you have some really messed up guys on there. And the last time, some really weird and ugly white dude started kissing all over my avatar like no tomorrow asking if I loved him. So this nice man and I’m saying man because he was one. The first thing he said, would you date a Chinese man?

I was so confused and I moved avatar as far from him to simulate this weird behavior. I wasn’t trying to date him. I ask, are you Chinese? He goes, I’m Iranian. Me: Then why did you ask? Him: I was trying to be funny And goddammit if he wasn’t.

I didn’t know he was Iranian. Nor did I care. It wouldn’t have made a difference if he was or not!

What really made me swipe right. Was because in his card he said he wanted an intellectual conversation with someone. Me, I like to talk, that’s all I wanted.

I ended up moving my avatar to the couch in the private chat but there was still space between our avatars.

He introduces himself. I give him my name. He was confused to why I thought, the first thing he wanted to do was date. Because I was away from his avatar. I remembered being a bit mean. He asked, why are you way over there and I snapped and said this is the not too fucking fast position because the last time somebody put me in a private chat THEY ASKED ME RIGHT OFF THE BACK DO I LOVE THEM AFTER KISSING MY AVATAR.

I remember words like, I don’t bite. And not going to lie. I was smiling because it was cute and I was nervous like.

But when I moved my avatar we talked and it was the best shit ever. Realizing I was having a conversation with somebody that knew shit and wasn’t a dumb ass. I was high.

He asked me about the president and his policies and I said something like fuck him. And he’s surprised. He goes, you don’t like your president? I said fuck no!

The conversation is going. I find out he has an illness. I have an illness I asked how he felt in Canada and asked if he faced any decrimination and I really don’t understand why there is a hatred towards middle eastern people. And the last middle eastern that spoke to me was on tinder. I think he said he was Iraqi. And I feel bad for that. I dogde the shit out of Arab men. Out of respect! I would hate to have an Arab boyfriend and both our families are like why you bring an A-RAB home (my dad) and his family is like what the fuck did you bring home?

Because not everyone is open minded to their children dating outside their race. I hold middle eastern men to a high regard. Like respect the shit out of them. By not talking to them in fear I sound like a racist uneducated ghetto mess! It’s like, you’re a smart man please leave a poor black woman to her slave duties, sir. But the one on tinder was confusing like are you here for sex or a date? And I wasn’t into the whole sex thing. So I ducked and dodged. On imvu, I love Capricorns! I don’t know why. He was a Capricorn. And I was all FUCK YEAH. And I had made him laugh talking about dick because dudes send me ugly dick pictures and I lie to them. I said something about black guy’s dicks changing color and he shared a story how a chick he was dating was real conceited.

My favorite thing. We talked. Laughed and joked. Eventually this huge feeling comes over me. And I wanted to really know him. I was interested as fuck. And last time I spoke with him, it was real short. I messaged him on imvu and he was willing but… Ugh I can’t get that back. Even if he changed his relationship status to in a relationship and I was confused as to why. Because I’m a grandma. If you don’t ask me. Nigga I guess you not interested and I don’t play games so…

Tony Holt came back from working on a rig and all hell broke lose. I think I hurt him. He unfriended me and that hurt me. I still like him. But at the same time. I’m confused, I don’t know if it’s pity or that rich Arab hospitality. One of those, Imma be nice but I don’t like you…ANYMORE BECAUSE HE FUCKING CALLED ME DEAR THE SECOND TIME WE CHATTED. And I’m not going to force him to be with me. Never. But my actions hurt. And I don’t want to slip into another relationship now.

If this is about wanting to date outside my race however. That is the stupidest thing. Rihanna is courting a Saudi! Brittany Spears is courted by an IRANI. AND A DAMN KARDASHIAN IS WITH A MIDDLE EASTERN. So two white heterosexual women and one black Caribbean can do it. But my black ass can’t?

I tried to date outside my race multiple times. What I fetishized were white men! And If I was really fetishizing, I would like a fucking middle eastern to message me and curse me the fuck out then some ass kissing self entiled brat. I don’t like her. She’s 19 and full of shit. Talking about, I draw Arabs and write about them.

NIGGA.

I HAVE A SYRAIN MALE CHARACTER WHO HAS SEVERAL BROTHERS. AND A SISTER AND THEN THERE WAS THE TIME I HAD A CHARACTER FROM YEMEN. FICTIONAL CHARACTERS ARE NOT REAL.

THEY DO NOT HOLD THE SAME VALUES AS A TANGIBLE MOTHERFUCKER. I said a Desi/Arabic woman was super fucking beautiful and thick and I don’t know if it was lesbianism or I was jealous as fuck. I had a stroke and she came into my room while I was in recovery and I just lost my damn voice. Plus. Why are you so concerned with what I reblog? I reblogged Arabic men one time. Some of them were shirtless. They looked good. Maybe the reason I did it was inappropriate but they were good looking men! And some were gay asf.

Oh look at this happy gay Arabic couple. They look so comfortable. You see gay men just hug and suddenly get happy? I don’t know why but seeing guys have this. I’m envious. Because I want a dick and hate my vagina. I’m a transexual? I do not care for my lady parts.

Like what ever the argument is… It’s stupid. Your art doesn’t carry the same shit as an actual middle eastern who comes to America or Canada. They out here getting called all sorts of shit.

You draw a hajabi girl and she gets her hajabi ripped off in your fictional world. You don’t go to an actual breathing tangible hajabi girl and try to relate your fictional shit to her actual pain.

A scenario: Hajabi: Some guy snatched my hajab off An artist: Well, my character Shahira Mohammed got her hajab ripped off her head too.

Scenerio two: Black people: I got called a nigger, I’m biracial An artist: I have a character that’s a slave, so I totally understand.

Scenerio three: Jewish people: I was just breathing when somebody threw money at me and called me a Jew face An artist: I totally understand. Yousef was called a Jesus killer in Chapter eight. It hurt so much to write that.

I still like Ahmad. Him being Iranian doesn’t mean shit to me. But I’ll punch a nigga for him. Middle easterners and Jewish people get the dumbest hate. ‘Oh well, middle easterners uh, 9/11’

One person. Not a whole nation.

‘Jews love money’

First off. Don’t be mad at somebody Jewish for getting off their ass and going to work because you sat down and scratched your ass all day. But please tell me I’m fetishizing.

How the fuck is it okay for some goddamn lesibian of 19 fucking years old. Find it remotely acceptable to draw gay fictional characters in yaoi scenerio if yaoi is also the art of hypersexualized homosexuality.

Because if that doesn’t mean the same damn thing then I might have a second goddamn stroke and I don’t want to die. That’s hypocrisy. Lesibians get the fetishizing thing, too when two homosexual girls are caught in public and a heterosexual man comes and sees they wanna instantly have a three way.

But clearly you don’t understand this. And instead you want to focus on POC, like middle easterners can’t speak the fuck up. If I was doing wrong, why the hell didn’t somebody that was Arabic not come and tell me after all the shit I reblogged. Can you please not reblog my shit? Because if they did I would have gotten the fuck rid of it.

But please explain to my black ass once more how I’m wrong. You fucking brat. You wanna act like an adult be prepared to get talk to like one. No one ever comes out when black women get fetishized. But I guess, in the harshes reality.

1) You once upon a time had a crush on some Arab who rejected you and now your gay.

2) You’re low key fucking racist. You looked through my blog on my now deleted account and ignored that I was a POC who went through this bullshit. And everyone can come after me like. Dude chill she’s 19. Fuck off. She’s reaching a new age of 20 no one is holding your fucking hand through life because you can’t face these things. Grow up. You hurt yourself. Which led to this. I’m not going to let some 19 wannabe important child explain to me what fetishizing is!

I told Ahmad about this. He laughed, said it was amusing. Found out he’s short. He has two brothers. Is the middle child. Is a weed smoker. BECAUSE MEDICAL MARIJUANA.

SHUT THE FUCK

On SebaCiel and other things

I am greatly surprised that nobody had written about this before. To be honest, I'm even more surprised at how some SebaCiel shippers simply take the blame when they are called pedophiles, rape apologists, and abuse supporters. So I thought it was time already to clarify some misconceptions that those antis have burned so strongly in their own minds.

1.- So we are all pedophiles...

pedophile

[ped-uh-fahyl or, esp. British, pee-duh-]

noun, Psychiatry.

An adult who is sexually attracted to young children.

I always find this one very funny. They think we are all attracted so children! Oh, my god... Let me tell you something, this one is even funnier when those who say it then ship Ciel with someone else too, be it Lizzy, an OC or any other character. Because, you know, Ciel is the problematic part of this argument.

Of course, everybody has their own favorite character, but when it comes to the SebaCiel shippers, what is it that they find so appealing about the ship? I understand I cannot answer this in the name of the whole fandom, but I think a good part of it will agree on the following; we do not fantasize about Ciel.

I am not going to argue about how SebaCiel is not ilegal, problematic or immoral in it's most pure form, because everybody knows that already. Any normal person with some common sense as well as the ones who, like me, study law, are well aware that underaged girls and boys date older men rather often, that love is not regulated or penalized and that child abuse is only a crime when there is a sexual behavior. Liking someone, regardless of the age, is not a crime unless you act on it.

So I am going to skip the introduction and go right to the problematic point; yes, there are a lot of SebaCiel supporters who ship it sexually, me among them. Does this mean that they're all depraved old men who hoard child porn on their computer and jerk off to it? Who knows. Maybe some do, maybe some don't, maybe some Cielizzy fans do, since they ship children too. But the point is, what's the profile (from a statistical point of view) of the average SebaCiel shipper?

We know the majority of the Kuroshitsuji fandom is female. We know that based on GFantasy (Kuroshitsuji publishing magazine) surveys as well as the author's word, and it can be easily proved. We also know that a big part of the readers' ages range from 14 to twenty-something, which can also be proved through GFantasy surveys, or simply checking around the profiles of the Kuroshitsuji bloggers. This gives us an idea of what kind of age and gender the shippers might be, as well as probably reject the dirty old man's theory. But, how is this relevant to the topic at all? A twenty-something young woman can't be a pedophile? Well, yes, she can. But it is unusual, again from a statistical point of view. But then, why do they ship it? And to answer this I have to travel back in time to the not so ancient times in which I was still an underaged high schooler who was starting to get into the series. A time in which many of my female classmates were all crazy over certain male teacher in his forties (yes, you read well, forties) and my best friend couldn't stop talking about her favorite male idol, who was at the very least ten years older than her. I don't know whether you find this shocking or not, but through my experience I was realizing the already well documented fact which is that young women tend to find older men more appealing. But this doesn't have anything to do with shipping, or even with Kuroshitsuji, does it?

Those who are into the yaoi/bl fandom are probably getting my point already. And this is because the japanese bl genre, which is in fact aimed at women, often uses feminine males as protagonists, so a female reader can relate, unlike the real gay erotica, which uses manlier characters, and similarly to the hetero erotica in which the heroine often represents the reader's ambitions. And I'm sure that you've guessed who the more feminine part of the SebaCiel ship is. Ciel is the perfect heroine. He's beautiful, domineering, hard to get, dresses cutely and has the hottest guy ever all to himself. So, do we find Ciel appealing? Yes, of course. He's a well written character with good looks and innate sexyness. Do we fantasize? For sure. Any woman dreams about putting on that lacy lingerie, knee-high stockings and stilettos just like him and seduce their man. But, is he arousing? Hmm... No. Or at least, not without Sebastian.

I don't know whether or not Cielizzy shippers (and other Ciel shippers) write smut, and to be honest I really don't want to know, but if there's something twisted in a handsome man getting it on with an underaged yet highly sexualized, borderline crossdresser boy in high-heeled boots, there must be something equally sick in an underaged girl getting it on with that very same boy.

And then why do we ship it? Because we like little children getting naked? No. Because we like older, handsome, dark, devilishly seductive, adult men getting naked, and we don't like to see them snatched away from us by some other woman, fictional or not. And since Ciel retains that feminine, yet not quite female appeal, he's the perfect match for the true object of our fantasies. And for that reason, I don't think that SebaCiel shippers are any more pedophilic than the rest of Ciel x (?) shippers.

2.- ... And we also promote child abuse...

Rivers of ink have been spilled on this topic. By both parts. On how Ciel is or is not a child, the nature and requirements of consent, what and what not was child abuse in victorian era and how it translates into the contemporary world... I'm not in the mood to repeat all the arguments that have been given. Instead, I'm putting the canon universe aside and talk solely of the nature of law that, I'm aware, is very different in my country and the US.

First and foremost, in my country, sexual activities of any kind aren't considered child abuse when the underaged partner is older than 13, unless the teenager has been deceived to give his consent. Which means that it is licit as long as it is consensual, and promoting a licit act is, once again, not illegal. I am not breaking any law.

But then, what about morals? Yes, I've read a lot of posts of morality and immorality regarding this topic. It is funny how those who believe to be more righteous talk about morality as if they held the ultimate truth. But let me tell you what my college professors, magistrates and connossieurs of law think of "morals"; nothing. And with this, I'm not saying that morality is useless, or that it shouldn't taken into account, simply that 1. Law doesn't always reflect morality. That your laws forbids adults to have sex with consenting teenagers doesn't mean it is immoral. I could as well argue how I find limiting someone's freedom of choice regarding their deepest intimacy to be far more immoral and against the very human nature. And 2. Every single person has different morals. Morality is an opinion. No human holds the absolute truth. What is considered immoral has changed through the ages and it will keep changing with humanity. So be humble, and never attempt to force your view of things into anyone else.

And on a side note, I have a constitutional right to voice mi opinion and promote my ideas, regardless of how immoral, and the attempt to stop me through coercion, including bashing, insulting and shaming, is indeed a crime, so most of the antis are actually breaking the law, not the shippers. So yes, if my crime is doing what I am allowed to do, then I plead guilty. Guilty of being an apologist of freedom, of opinion, and of course, of shipping! :D

3.- And then they say we romanticize abusive relationships...?

This is yet another interesting point, and from here we leave the boring world of law and come back to Kuroshitsuji! <3

So, after seeing that shipping SebaCiel is not illegal nor immoral, we can discuss whether or not it is abuse. It is not child abuse in canon, as age of consent was only for male/female relationships, male/male being an entirely different thing that they called sodomy and didn't have anything to do with age, as well as the fact that Ciel was given his title at the age of 11 in an official ceremony, obtaining the status of head of the family which equals to adulthood to all legal circumstances. Yet someone could argue that a demon from hell could as well coerce a little boy into something lascivious, couldn't he? That he could force, hurt and otherwise violate his consent. It is not hard to believe but, does their relationship work like that? I don't think so.

An abusive relationship is "a pattern of abusive and coercive behaviors used to maintain power and control over a former or current intimate partner. Abuse can be emotional, financial, sexual or physical and can include threats, isolation, and intimidation."

This doesn't sound much like SebaCiel to me, no matter how many times I read it. I truly can't recall a single situation in which any of the things in that list took place. I do, however, notice a strong power-play in which the two of them struggle to maintain control over one another. But, to what extent is it dangerous? It is kind of obvious that for Sebastian is not dangerous at all, so one could make the mistake of believing that Ciel is the weak part. And I wonder if they realized that Ciel is the Master, the owner, the dom, the one handling the riding crop, binding the demon to his will. There's no argument about consent, because what he doesn't like he can stop it with a single order, restrain the demon, make him kneel. And yes, the demon could break the contract, set himself free and take the boy forcefully. But he doesn't, because he loves it. The proud, beautiful and foolish human who doesn't surrender to him.

Of course, this is open to character interpretation, but I think the power-play in Kuroshitsuji is very strong, as well as the subjacent bdsm undertones and themes that we have seen so many times in cover art and official illustrations, as well as in Yana's previous yaoi works. I wanted to point out these themes because a relationship based on dominance/submission is not the same as an abusive relationship, and once again it is all about consent and the sub's power to stop it at any time.

And with this, I'd like to put an end this long review, as well as to agree with some anti's last popular point, which is that fiction affects reality. It really does, so enjoy it as much as you can, and learn from it all the things you might not experience in real life. Immerse yourself in a good story, make research, be critical, ship as much as you want and never, ever let anyone exert any kind of censorship on what you can read, watch, like or ship. ;)

The Moonlight Thief chapter five!

It’s here! I know it’s been a while, but I have a lot on my plate :P Thanks to @hipsterunicorn20 and @kanarael for beta reading! … I don’t have a lot to say about this chapter… Pichit makes an appearance for like, a couple lines. I feel like I’m skipping over all my favorite characters just for the victuuri… *cries* Also I have an Ao3 account but I haven’t posted yet… I’ll let y'all know when it goes up! Chapter five: Victor takes Yuutopia

When Yakov called for Victor, he did not let down his hair. He tore at the stone walls until his fingers were bloodied and he opened the entrance which had been blocked up as soon as Vitya’s hair was long enough to climb. The tower room was dark. Victor’s winter coat and boots, only there in case of emergency, were gone. A chair was toppled in the middle of the room, and Victor was nowhere in sight. “Vitya! Vitya, where are you?” Yakov shouted as he turned over tables and cabinets. There was a leather satchel under the chair. Inside there was naught but a piece of old paper, a wanted sign- a thief named Katsuki. Yakov had heard of him in his travels, dangerous, a cutthroat-double crosser, all in all, one with low respect for other humans and famous for his most daring caper yet- stealing the prince’s crown right from its pedestal. Yakov glanced about again. There- under the staircase. A shining piece of metal. Yakov retrieved it. It had been so long since he had seen it last. He hadn’t even been gone for a day. There’s no way he could’ve gotten far.

“So are your friends in charge of this restaurant?” Victor asked. “They’re almost family.” “Is the food there good?” “The best!” “What kind?” “Pork cutlet bowls.” “What are those?” “Well, you’ll have to find. out. Won’t you?” Katsuki said in exasperation. “Do you have to be so grumpy?” “Do you have to ask so many questions? We’re here.” Victor threw open the door before Katsuki could mutter a single word of warning.

There had been a ruckus going on inside the pub, there always was. The second Katsuki walked in, though, it stopped, a scene played out in magnificent detail- Minako with her hands around a customer’s throat, Mama with a pan raised over her head and papa with a blood stained menu. Regulars that Katsuki could almost recognize were distributed in the small space, participating in various undergroundly activities that included gambling, deviating degrees of physical assault, and something bubbling on a pot. Victor clutched Katsuki’s arm and his knuckles turned white on the handle of the frying pan. “Hi there… fellas…” Katsuki began. A particular young man- Minami Keijiro, Katsuki believed, held a knife to Katsuki’s throat. “You’re showing you’re face here again? That’s pretty cocky, even for you.” Victor leaned close to his ear. “Why is that?” “I thought you were gonna retire after our job on that one lord or whatever. But you blew it, huh?” “Look, Minami, as I appreciate your concern for my welfare, but as you can see, I’m transporting this very valuable cargo so if you could?” Carefully, Katsuki pushed the knife away and grabbed Victor’s hand. “See?” He said quietly Victor. “This is what it’s like in the real world. So we could just take you back to your tower, you can give me my satchel,” “Hey!” Another person said. Suddenly he was in Katsuki’s face instead of Minami. Before he could judge his face though, a paper was shoved up against his glasses. “Is this you?” Katsuki peeled the paper off. He winced as he saw the drawing there and his name. “Please.” He placed the poster back in their hands. “With a nose like that… please.” “There’s a pretty high price on your head, isn’t there?” Maybe two men slipped out the door. Katsuki couldn’t tell. “I’m just here to get some meals, alright? No confrontation.” “Two specials?” Mama asked. Katsuki nodded wearily. “Thanks Ma.” “She’s your mother?” Victor asked “Everyone calls her that.” “And what does everyone call you?” A man called from the pub bristling with whispers. “Hair boy?” “I’m Victor.” He said confidently. And then no one spoke, whispered, breathed. The only sound was the bubbling of the pot and rats scuttling on the floor. “Is there something wrong with that?” Katsuki was made aware of shining iron in every corner. Axes and knives and spears were at the ready. Victor grabbed his arm tighter. “Please, I just want to live my dream.” Victor said. “Haven’t any of you ever had a dream?” “I have a dream.” Someone spoke up from the corner. “I want to head an ice show. All choreographed by me, and performed with all my friends.” “Pichit.” Katsuki whispered. “Can’t you see us all skating about in the cutest costumes? Rainbows and hamsters everywhere?” “I can sew the costumes, designing is my dream.” “All my friends would be there it’s the most amazing thing you see? What’s better than finally living your dream?” “I’ve got a dream, I’ve got a dream. I’m not so angry and frightening as I seem!” “Victor, hide!” Katsuki said, grabbing him by a handful of silver hair. “Why?” “That’s Georgi. He… well, let’s say he isn’t the type to ask questions before sheathing a knife in you.” “Why do you have so many enemies?” “I guess you could say I’m not a nice person.” Katsuki said, then ducked under the bar as Georgi leaned closed to Victor. “Despite my scary countenance and my relationships haven’t been the best, I’ve always wanted to find my truest love. I’d cherish her without a thought, there would be nothing she’d have to want, I’d be the best boyfriend in the world! I’ve got a dream! And I know one day romance will reign supreme! Though my face leaves people screaming, there’s a child behind it, dreaming. Like everybody else I’ve got a dream” Victor patted him on the head, and then turned him and pushed him gently back into the crowd. “And you ‘Victor’? You got a dream?” “I have a dream!” Victor said loudly. “He has a dream!” The bar echoed. “I just want to see the floating lanterns gleam! And every passing hour I’m so glad I left my tower. Like all you lovely folks I’ve got a dream.” Suddenly, the door busted open. Christophe stood there with a smile. “I’ve got the guards!” The rowdy bar again fell silent. “Come on.” Mama said, pulling Victor over the bar. Katsuki jumped over on his own accord. They looped up Victor’s still somewhat soggy hair and ma pulled one of the beer levers which- instead of causing one of the spouts to gush beer as it ought, opened up a trap door. “You can’t run an establishment like this without a backdoor. You’re a handsome young man. I’d like to see you live your dream.” “I’ll try my best.” Katsuki said. “You didn’t even share. I was talking to Victor.” “Thank you, ma.” Victor said, and they began down the tunnel, the trapdoor shutting them in the darkness.

Yuri busted into the pub. It was underworldly, and the yeasty smell of alcohol mixed with the tang of urine was thick in the air. It was exactly the sort of place he’d expect to see that thief. He sniffed around until he caught the trail- it led straight into the floor. He stomped on it angrily until the boards gave way to a tunnel. “They went this way?” A guard asked. His tone was too close to patronizing. Yuri shot him a droll look, but nodded. Carefully, he led the pursuit into the tunnel.

Outside Yuutopia, Yakov ran into Christophe scolding Georgi. “You’re telling me Katsuki was two feet away from you and you let him get away cause you were talking about your love life? I’m disappointed.” “What do you know about love?” “More than you, I’d reckon.” “Boys!” Yakov called. “I have your crown. You could have it now if you like.” This was effective at shutting them up. “Is there a catch?” Christophe snarled. “Only a job if you want to take it.“ “And why would we?” Georgi asked. “It comes with revenge on a certain man named Katsuki.”

@yaoi-on-skates, @tea-and-a-gay-detective, @ostranenien y'all asked. If anyone else does, please message me, ask me or write it in the comments, anything works! Also if you asked and I forgot to tag you sorrryyyyyy I might have forgotten, send an ask about it!
