in WHAT universe is rising of the shield hero less of a dissapointment than spy x family? ppl glaze sxf a bit too much but theres few anime worse than Incel Isekai 20472.
anyway. if you want something actually good, frieren, odd taxi, and my roommate is a cat. havent watched ascendance of a bookworm yet but i hear incredible things.
Oh yeah no ROTSH felt like ABSOLUTE dogshit episodes 1-5ish, I have no idea why I kept watching cause the MC was so cringe but I’m enjoying it quite a lot now! (I was actually checking my inbox before catching the next ep, lol)
I’m actually really happy with how they showed the MC’s immaturity and flaws and all the stupid and confusing common isekai tropes in a realistic light- And I’m kinda sorry you didn’t keep watching too ‘cause it absolutely lays bare all that stupid “chosen one” crap about halfway through s1. You stop cringing at the awful stupid incel asshole shit E3 or so and start GENUINELY LIKING him, which is wild!
It’s not perfect media obviously- I kinda REALLY don’t like some of it- but it focuses a lot on personal responsibility and thoughtfulness and working within the context of your environment, learning to heal relationships, and the importance of diplomacy and communication.
What I REALLY like is the central theme that being a hero doesn’t mean everything you do is correct- but that people WANT TO BELIEVE everything you do is correct, so being a symbol isn’t so much a ritzy ride as it is a HUGE responsibility that one shouldn’t be eager for.
Also, I don’t want to give any spoilers, but I’m at a point now where they’re starting to touch on the idea that there’s a difference between fighting for an idea and fighting for PEOPLE, and I’ve never really seen that done well before so between that and the twist here that’s being foreshadowed I’m genuinely SUPER EXCITED to see where they’re going with it.
Also- even WITH all the “pretty girls love the hero” trope- if you watch long enough you’ll notice how they PLAY with the trope without investing in it. There’s genuine respect between the characters, and several times the MC makes it clear he sees some of them as family, that he’s not into kids and it’s creepy when others are, and there’s no fanservice panty shots or surprise “oops I’m naked” shit. It really does show by example how a REAL good-hearted protagonist should- or would hopefully- realistically act in the circumstances of an unrealistic isekai type series. There’s been pretty much zero actual romance or any interest in romance shown by the character after episode 1-2. (At least as of s2e1)
And I love that! It’s incredibly character-driven. It feels like the MC genuinely might fuck up, that there are real stakes, that the correct path is unclear, and I want to see if what I’m hoping for will happen. The MC is selfish and closed-off and heartless sometimes and TOTALLY has a cruel and pragmatic streak, and the narrative takes full advantage of that to force him to confront those issues. Some of his vices are even advantageous, as they would be in real life!
Spy X Family didn’t do anything for me. It appeared to be what it said on the tin. I never got any real sense of stakes or depth or personal development, or of reoccurring thematic elements or symbolism or overlying message, or any kind of statement that was poignant or meaningful. It came off as a fun story, but not anything exceptional or different.
I couldn’t bring myself to care much because it was pretty clear that the good guys were right and they were gonna pull something off and have a happy ending and live a cute little family life with a mom and a dad and a daughter and a dog. It was never surprising or curious and I never felt emotionally intrigued or invested or attached.
They’re both enjoyable, but I like Rise of the Shield Hero more because it’s been proving me wrong in exciting ways and making me think about why I feel the way I do, and I like that in a series.
Spy X Family is fine, I don’t think it’s BAD, it just didn’t scratch the itch for me personally.
If you watched like 15 eps and hated it the whole time that’s fair but if you stopped at e2 I’d super recommend giving it another shot!

ranting about the fandom ( TW: opinions)
- remus is so badly mischaracterized, the shift from him being a soft sensitive kid despite the violent nature of his condition was so so important but now he is turned into this mean angry alpha male. i feel like the point of him being so sensitive was to contrast w him being a werewolf ya know. bring back weird and awkward remus
- gay ships that are just there because they’re gay is pretty strange. i’m speaking of the whole jegulus/pandalily/whatever new thing ppl come up with i don’t really understand the point of just thinking that making a couple gay makes them more interesting. seems a little counterproductive .
-jily loosing its popularity is killing me. bring back my 7 year slow burn prophecy beautiful love story they are the most important ship
-sirius being a feminine dramatic gay twink. this man was a motorcycle owning rebel strong guy. and believe it or not he CAN be gay and still be that. him being gay ( in our head canons) doesn’t mean he’s a woman
- turning gay ships into basically a straight relationship by making them so stereotypical ( wolfstar w feminine af sirius and strong man remus)
- shipping character that died and fought against a certain ideology and people that were actively apart of the problem is kinda crazy. like jegulily? my brother in christ regulus wanted her dead.
-fanon regulus. he was a strong willed DEATH EATER he wasn’t forced into it or abused by his family. it.is.stated.in.the.book.
-deatheaters are interesting characters BUT don’t tell me people are babying and glorifying them in a effort to explore their complexity.
-some of you are blinded by the fancasts and forgot all about what the characters are.
- the new fan casts are meeeh. they’re not all supposed to be supermodels…
- jegulus taking over the fandom is insane.
-andromeda should be getting the regulus treatement she is what you made regulus into.
-frank and alice should be more loved.
- the romantization of that whole pureblood supremacist squad is NOT cute.
-james potter my beloved.
- i don’t really like the idea of the casanova being remus. i feel like it would james or sirius based on how remus talked about his high school years
- jily is way too important to the universe to be discredited.
-lily evans being put behind regulus is CRAZY. my girl did not die for this bs
-sirius being criticized for leaving is wild. regulus was not abused and didn’t even want to leave. sirius was mistreated.
- i kind of like the idea of the developed character of walburga. sirius said she wasn’t a deatheater. and i like people writing her as a more complex character.
- as much as i love wolfstar, james and sirius’s relationship stays the central point of the gang.
-ships have taken way too much importance over the friendships of the group.
-i feel like a people make female characters into lesbians ( like lily ) just because they are strong characters and it’s weird.
- yes once she got married to james she was lily POTTER and she was a mother just like james was FATHER they’re is nothing wrong with that.
- jegulus/ any ship between a member of the order and a deatheater is just plain stupid sorry but if your head canons goes completely against the core of a character it’s just a wrong statement.
before you start “LEt pEoPle dO whAT thEy WaNt” these are MY opinions
please share yours i love to debate

Listen, his clothing style is completely random and tacky, but he makes it work somehow, maybe because he's excessively handsome? Jk, I think his style reflects who he is as a character, he can dress formally too ofc, when the occasion is offered, but otherwise he's just not interested in that, and his huge coats and oversized clothes as well as his large built and height, make him appear as this huge friendly bear, intimidating as a mafia should be, but also super warm and cozy when you get to see his smile and super soft personality.



I really love Dio's character in Khr, I love so many characters so it's difficult to pick favorites, but I'd have wanted to see him more (like not as a side character, but see his work, life, powers etc as an individual and the Cavallone family in general) that's why I wanna write smth for me abt him (prob gonna share it with my sis). And while I was looking back on his appearance and fashion choice, did I really start analyzing it, like ofc all khr is like this, it reminds me in a sense of bleach with how random the fits were, it's nostalgic to the 2000's style and I love it ofc, I love homey comfy clothes, they just put you in a different mood.

But since Dino is from the few characters who aren't attending school, and he doesn't give a shit abt official wear, that's why we get to see some of that clothing style ppl were wearing at the time. I'm saying it's the fashion sense of that period yes, but the author still gives their character their individuality, like Gokudera has a very edgy punk fashion statement, despite being in school he's always popping up with a new killer outfit and it's so interesting to see. (like I'm acknowledging here that they don't only wear their school uniforms, it's just what they wear the most, but he's still outstanding outside of that contrary to the others who made made forget they wore other stuff)
This is just a rumble and if I start talking about everyone and comparing, it'll be a mess, so let's just focus on Dino. The guy is at the head of one of the biggest mafia families of his time and at such a young age, all of his men are in uniforms to give their family a decent representation as a serious gangsta mafia unite, but their leader doesn't, he just dresses up like a hipster. The thing is he can clearly afford to dress up more richly, but he doesn't.
In manga and animes, I usually make a wild guess that authors may not know if what the person is wearing is considered fashionable,( like I'm an artist and have absolutely no idea how my characters will be perceived, I could think 'this character needs to appear fashionable' but ppl online will call them tacky and messy, especially generations later, across continents ) I have also a feeling that bcz it was so old the perception of fashion was different (as I have pointed many times) and lastly, bcz the Mangaka (s) is/are prob Japanese, they could have a certain image (right or wrong) over foreign fashion, esp from a country as fashionable as Italy, so that'd explain why they wanna give an impression with characters that came from there, like Gokudera his sister Bianchi and Dino, saying like look these ppl are youngsters from Italy, they wear like 2000's magazines. All of these are speculations, to say that those could be some reasons those characters wear this specific way.
If we put these aside, and consider that the Manga artist know exactly what they are doing and it's 100% what you think it is, in this case, Dio's décontracté objectively messy style compared to his men, has a clear message, he's saying" I'm your homie clumsy big bro, fuck étiquette, i'm the boss hanging out with my fam, let me live my age, I'm tired of this mafia stuff so I don't have time to dress up so I put on this mop I found on the trash bin." or whatever. But that appearance could also be 100% intentional, maybe he wanna look approachable to Tsuna sensing he'll become the head of the Vangolla and wanting to maintain a good alliance with them so he needs tsuna to like him, he also us aware he's staying around kids and don't wanna intimidate them with formal wear again because those kids are future mafia allies and he's counting a lot on their family in general. Or he just genuinely want to give a good impression because of he's a genuine guy and his family despite being mafia, have a pretty good reputation.
In conclusion. Dino can wear suits, we saw him in them, yet his appearance is mostly casual( but still gangsta, more like street gangsta, your local drug dealer not huge corporation like) , he still looks intimidating from a first glance until you get on his good side and discover he's a good guy. He could prefer this style over the other because it's cozier and more like him or because he wanna appear cozier and thinks that's the way to do it (altho he'd have made his men dress up to if that was the case). Whatever is the case, I just think it represents his personality a lot and his character in the series (as underrated as I feel it was) as well as the time era.

Respectfully, Jikookers not wanting tkkrs or tkk (ship) content in their spaces or community should NOT be a controversial statement lol, some of these takes are wild (& I’m talking about takes on other platforms too, this isn't aimed at anyone specifically). If we’re talking specifically about the creative community then of course that’s different, but that’s absolutely not what happened or what people were upset about at all? 😭
No one would have bothered that author for example if her fic wasn’t suddenly exposed to a massive group of people outside of its intended audience and largely outside of the creative community. If you’re actually in these online spaces you would know that the creative community is sort of in its own bubble. There might be some overlap with other ship spaces but most non-content creator shippers are not going to share content about other ships unless they advertise their page as multi-shipping. At that point it’s your own fault if you follow them and you’re bothered by it.
But that’s why it was so bizarre for that huge Jikook focused account to share that fic and why so many people were uncomfortable with it. It’s like… what if someone posted a tkk fic on the Jikook tag, or someone posted a fic without following proper tag etiquette on AO3? There’s a reason why that sort of etiquette exists in the first place (and it’s to protect the content creators too) even if it’s obviously not okay to harass someone over it.
Anyways, that was the main issue and why there was discourse in the first place. And the people trying to act like Jikooker’s do not have very valid reasons for not wanting to see or support content that’s going to be largely consumed and circulated by people who massively harass Jimin are being purposefully obtuse, I’m sorry. Just the fact that one of the first people who interacted and quoted that fic was someone who follows and engages with massive JM antis should tell you why we’d rather not see that or invite the people who consume (& for some, the ppl who create it) into our spaces.
It’s not just a few bad apples when the vast majority of tkk shippers skew massively toxic. Just look at the amount of followers/engagement their outwardly anti accounts have and then explain to me why we should be expected to trust and tolerate them in our spaces? Mind you, Jikook spaces are some of the ONLY spaces where it’s supposed to be entirely safe for Jimin and Jungkook (as a duo, as individuals) so trying to judge us for wanting to keep it that way by not inviting content that literally attracts antis is certainly a choice.
Let’s not pretend like the BTS community is a normal shipping community when it’s actually beyond toxic and very out of control. People have every right to have strong boundaries around the content they want to see and interact with. Anyone can opt out of all the drama and toxicity around shipping/solos/fanwars if they want and I fully and totally respect and understand that, but it doesn’t mean it just stops existing either.
Anyways, Jikooker’s are not obligated to like or tolerate tkkrs, or like or tolerate tkk shipping content, nor are they owed space in our communities, and no one should judge you for that. Some of the takes around that are frankly bizarre imo. The creative community is its own beast and frankly that’s why it’s better for certain things to stay WITHIN that community, which I’ve talked about before. OP was allowed to post whatever they wanted on their blog too ofc, but I think by everything I just explained it should be understood why it was an odd choice.
Again, no one ever deserves to be harassed over any of this, but the judgement and some of the discourse around people who would rather not have tkk content in Jikook spaces has been pretty odd and that's mainly what I wanted to address.
you know what, also going to link this related reading around shipping culture in this fandom

Guys, I feel the need to say these because there are some ppl who sympathetize a certain antagonist so much that they put the blame on other characters.

1. Lucifer destroyed humanity for "shits and giggles".
First of all, this statement is so fucking stupid. Did we watch the same show? Lucifer gave the apple to Eve to share the gift of free-will to her. Even if let's say the book at the start is completely wrong, the way Lucifer behaves shows that he does regret what he did. If he truly wanted to destroy humanity because he was "jealous" or fuck it, even "bored" why would he regret it?
He destroyed God's plans and if he truly wanted to do that, why would he say "These sinners are using the gift I gave them wrong." ? This alone shows that what Lucifer did was a mistake on his part. A big mistake, but you can't look me in the eye and tell me that it was okay to send him down to Hell for an whole eternity?
Trust me when I say this, if Lucifer knew that the apple contained Roo he wouldn't even give the apple. His thought process was "If I give this apple to Eve, she will be free and choose for herself." I am stand by this fact, Lucifer did not have ulterior motives with the whole apple incident.
Now, some might say "He is putting on an act in front Charlie!". And you abse this on what? He genuinely sounded sorry, and during the More than Anything song, he said "I don't want you to be crushed by them like I was.". If this isn't enough proof that he isn't in fact putting on an act, I don't know what to tell you. He is scared of Heaven, he is fucking traumatized and it surprises me to see so many people putting all the blame on him.

2. Adam is Innocent and Got Wronged by Women
This is just victim blaming. Again there is no proof that Adam wasn't abusive, the way he acts in the series just shows us that he is misogynistic and a jerk. He was a victim of the system too I'll admit. And I personally believe that only Eve ate the apple because why wouldn't the book at the start of ep 1 mention it?
He was spoiled by Heaven and he was never held accountable for his actions. Heaven never tried to fix his behavior, they just changed things up to appease him, which caused him to become a narcissist. We have no proof that Adam wasn't a toxic husband towards Lilith and by saying that it's Lilith's fault that Adam ended up like this is a wrong statement. It's just pure victim blaming.
You may think that Lilith won't be a good person, but again we don't have a proof of that! We aren't even sure that the woman on the beach is Lilith (there is like a lot of appearance differences between the Lilith we saw on the beach and the Lilith we saw on the family pictures).

. Conclusion
Hazbin is loosely based off of the bible. You can go ahead and create AUs where Lucifer is the bad guy, but I personally think that Lucifer has better morals than Adam. (Plus, Lucifer is Viv's favorite if you need a reminder) So I don't think there is gonna be a wild plot twist about the book at the start (at least for Lucifer's part.) Thank you all for reading this.

I saw ur comment for my earlier ask where u said “since she's been spending some time in midgard, she's become pretty politically aware of what's been happening in america, so she knows something's off when one day the president declares war cuz things were NOT bad enough for that to happen (let's pretend this is after trump lmao)”
and I’ve never heard a truer statement in my life. Honestly, with everything that’s been happening I wanna disassociate so bad. Just from, like, all the straight WILD things that are being reported every five seconds he’s been in office. Like during his first presidency I feel like it was easier to ignore it cause I was younger, didn’t have TikTok (where I get CONSTANT updates about every detail of what he’s been doing just because it’s so far reaching that even my fav tiktokers that aren’t usually political (GRWMs) can’t NOT talk about how bad everything is getting and how much WORSE he wants to make it than it already is?!
It’s like I’m constantly waiting for him to be like “okay that’s enough villainous shit for the next 4 years now let me go golfing with Elon and Jeff in the Poconos” or whatever.
But HE.JUST.KEEPS.GOING!
Literally a couple days ago, I read that he gave a LIST(and/or flagged) a list to the NSF (the people who give out grants to fund acedmic research) of all the things their proposals (the scientists) can’t have in their proposals or they more than likely will NOT receive funding for their research. They were all words associated with “DEIA” (which don’t even get me started on that because I literally just recently got into the LONGEST fight with some guy in my TikTok comment section trying to tell him that DEIA has ALWAYS been about merit. It’s simply a way to make sure everyone’s voices are heard and everyone gets a fair chance at positions they are more than qualified for but might get passed over if their a certain race,ethnicity, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. Not so “unqualified” ppl can get things they didn’t earn. I had to explain to him that no POC, disabled, or marginalized group has EVER been handed a job they didn’t earn. But I digress because if I go into depth about it this comment will be too long.
What I was trying to say was that of that list one of the words that was flagged was the word female?!?!?! WTF?!?! FEMALE! Are we being SO.FUCKING.FOR.REAL. rn?!?!
I’m sorry but HOW is anyone supposed to get anything done or research ANYTHING of significance if you can’t even talk about or include an entire gender that (tho they might hate to admit it) makes up half of the population of people in the world?!!!
Also what about research regarding female animals?
What? Is it gonna be male and non-male?
I’m so triggered rn it’s not even funny.
Anyway, sorry about that, ur earlier comment just made me think that if he could do dumb shit like this then yeah I do think in that Percy AU that he would throw us in a war for no reason at all.
At this point he’s just living off spite and vibes, I guess.
I SAW THE LIST OF STUPID FLAGGED WORDS THING TOO. i thought it was just another one of those "i hate pronouns thing!" until i realized that "male" was allowed but "female" wasn't 💀💀💀
i think this is they're way of saying that they want all research to be male-focused only and focused on male benefit rather than girls and women, which is DANGEROUS because male-centered research has caused huge problems multiple times in the past. generalizability is an important factor for research, your research needs to be generalizable to a wide array of people, not just straight cisgendered white men.
especially for MEDICAL RELATED RESEARCH?????????????????
god, i knew they hated women but i never expected them to pull up with this bullshit

Tom's fans are different, but they speak the facts. It's absolutely normal to want a successful project for your favorite actor because his work and talent should be recognized. It's also normal when you want to see activity on Tom's part. Sometimes some of Tom's fans are negative, but in many ways they are honest, to me they are much better than some hypocritical TZ fans who claim to be equally staned Tom and Zendaya, but in fact they are Zendaya's fans first and foremost. By the way, your theory is very interesting and I think to some extent I can agree with it. But at the same time, it amuses me how sometimes you are too optimistic or do not notice serious problems with some things related to Tom
I mean, I don't mind if fans are honest about their faves. I've always said that I'm 100% honest here on my blog about how I feel about a variety of people and topics. 🤷🏾♀️
But to me, it seems as though some fans of Tom (notice I said SOME) can be a bit harsh on him, or complain about things that in the grand scheme of things, really aren't big deals in the long run. 🤷🏾♀️
Or, they'll make blanket negative statements that aren't even true, like, "it's normal to want a successful project for your favorite actor" (as if Tom hasn't had MULTIPLE successful projects already?? 🥴🤔), or, you"want to see activity on his part" (as if, we don't get Tom content either through himself, friends, and or family on a REGULAR basis). Look, some actors out here don't even have social media at all, or never post, or don't have their parents posting content about them. 🤷🏾♀️ Yet, ppl are still their fans.
I've already made peace with the fact that we're not going to get the same social media happy Tom that we got in 2017. I've made peace with that with both Tom AND Zendaya tbh. If smthg harms my fave and their mental and emotional health, I'm not going to be upset if they're not posting on social media.
I will agree with you that a lot of Tom's fans are actually fans of him by extention of Zendaya, his gf. But he can't help that. 🤷🏾♀️ Their stars happened to rise at the same time due to their Spiderman movie that they were in together. Many fans of Z were fans of her BEFORE she got to the level that she is today though, but it's not a bad thing imo?
But at the same time, it amuses me how sometimes you are too optimistic or do not notice serious problems with some things related to Tom
I just feel like Tom's fans are a bit hard on him, and undermine his success already in the industry all the time (his R&J PLAY sold out in like 2 hours!!!) Like, c'mon. 😏
And what "serious problems" are there related to Tom exactly? Is he on drugs? Is he wilding out? Does he look depressed? Is he looking homeless? Has he lost a ton of weight in a short amount of time? Is he acting crazy out in these streets? To me, those are "serious problems" and signs that an actor is going through smthg. All the other stuff you've mentioned aren't "serious problems" imo Anon.
Yes, we all want great things for our fave actors, and of course we wish them the best! 😃 But unless there are some serious issues going on in that actor's life, we need to know our place as FANS, and let an actor live his (or her) life! Actors usually only film about 1 or 2 films a year (if THAT), and the rest of the time, they're working bts, negotiating other future projects, promoting current projects, or simply just taking a break. When you're at Tom's level of success, you can afford to take longer breaks if needed. He's been working and going non-stop for over 7 years. If the man wants to take a break, his fans should be okay with that. Jmho 🤷🏾♀️

What do you think lesbians are attracted to in women that lesbians can’t be attracted to in men?
It can’t be anything about femininity or masculinity obviously. That’s both sexist, and cultural so can’t be what drives woman-only attraction.
It can’t be anything about stated identity because someone could lie just as easily as they could tell the truth in such a statement, and it makes no sense because homosexuality and heterosexuality exists in other species with no stated identities. It’s not like other animals without gender are all pan.
Saying idk it’s the vibes or some indescribable trait women have that men can’t but “I can’t explain” is a nonanswer.
Soooooooo what is it? Or do you think any sexuality but bi/pan is just cultural performance or an identity rather than an inborn orientation?
this is soooo not asked in good faith lol i know ur baiting babe but fine i'll go ahead and answer here <3
first of all idk where u got the idea that i think bi/pan is inborn orientation. ur mistaking me for a gender/sexuality essentialist rather than a bio essentialist and baby i am neither
second of all ur operating under the assumption that i am bi/pan and would fuck all genders and/or sexes. false! i do not care for dick i have never cared for dick i shall never care for dick and funnily enough i am capable of navigating my personal relationships on my own terms without imposing those terms on everyone else or making trans women feel like dogshit just for existing. if someone with a dick ever asked me out and i turned them down i wouldn't have to say "sorry it's because you have a yucky disgusting penis you fucking disgusting human" as so many of y'all love to do when confronted w trans humans, i would simply say "sorry, i'm not interested." and if they decided to keep pressing it or assault me that would be on them being a sexual predator, not them being transgender.
but okay. several things here. first off in the history of sexuality u have two views: essentialism and costructionism. innate vs socially created. in most cases of history, i take the constructionist point of view. with sexuality/gender it is way way more nuanced and complicated than that. i believe the Feelings we have about gender and sexuality are innate (and unique to every individual) but the labels we put on them change constantly over time. you can find this all throughout history and arguing that this isn't the case would be ahistorical and ridiculous. if you think the word "lesbian" existed 300 years ago and ppl you would deem lesbians would call themselves lesbians or conceptualize their sexualities in the same way as you do, you are dead wrong. they probably had very similar feelings, but they were framing it around their cultural frameworks they had at the time. as we are doing today.
the thing about social constructs is that they change. go back to the 1500s europe and it was widely believed that men and women shared one body type that was, essentially, sexless and the same, and that this body grew out of the body women have into the body men had. essentially, men were the more "progressed" body of humanity, but men and women shared the same sex. this... obviously was incorrect and changed. but so is our binary conception of "sex".
which brings me to ur point about animals.... heterosexuality and homosexuality as Acts certainly exist in animals but animals don't have social constructs to give them identities lmfao. and while these acts exist, they often do so in ways we as humans would consider "bisexual" although that's fucking ridiculous because they are animals. for example, often in the wild you will see "lesbian" lions that choose to mate with other female lions only and raise their young with them. wait- how's that work? their young? if animals with no social conceptions can somehow be "pure lesbians" would they not balk at the idea of procreating with a male lion? no, because that's not how it works in the animal kingdom. they procreate with the male lion and raise the young w the female lion and we slap the label "homosexual" on this or "bisexual" on it when neither is correct bc they're fucking lions, not human beings living in a society. similarly a female lion mating with a male lion is not a "heterosexual" lion, it's a fucking lion. we can't ask it "hey, miss lion, if you had the choice, would you solely prefer male lions? or do you like female lions as well? or are you just mating with this male lion for protection?" because it's a lion. ur comparison is outlandish, frankly. we are not animals in that way. the lion is not heterosexual or homosexual, it's a fucking lion that has sex.
anyway... not what you asked and i can hear u now going off abt how none of this answered ur question. ur right! before i could answer ur baiting question i had to clear up some bold assumptions you were making, define some terms and history, and debunk whatever bullshit you wanted to spew about animals for a second there
but to answer your question: sexuality and gender are unique to every single individual on this planet and structured around the society that individual lives in. sorry to tell you that, but it is. so, too, is the term lesbian. even within t//erf circles. "that's not true!" i can hear you shout, "every t//erf defines lesbian the same!" wrong! i have seen: lesbian means only liking people with vaginas but that can't be right because some trans women have vaginas, lesbian means only liking people with vaginas but that can't be right because some trans Men have vaginas and many of you would Not be attracted to them on the street bc many of them do pass as cis men indistinguishably, lesbian means only CHOOSING to date people with vaginas so this includes political lesbians who are attracted to men and bisexual or heterosexual but are politically lesbian, but wait no lesbian doesn't mean that bc i've also seen t//erfs saying any lesbian who makes a joke abt having a celebrity crush on a man is clearly a bisexual in denial sooooo that would preclude political lesbians too, oh okay so maybe lesbian means only liking people BORN with vaginas- oh shit nope that includes many intersex individuals you would not fuck and many trans men you would not fuck as they've gotten bottom surgery.... hm okay i've seen it mean you only like women BORN with a uterus/able to reproduce except oh whoops not all cis women can do that...... uh well it means anyone you can identify as a woman bc you're so good at clocking except- oh no you can't bc there are many CIS butches and CIS masculine women you all constantly mistake as trans women and harass or butches you straight up just think are men (hi! i am a butch read as a cis male in public!) and do not approach on that basis..... erm..... uh oh looks like your definitions suck too, sorry
so... what does that leave us with? if defining sexuality by sex is harder than it looks and defining it by gender is harder than it looks, what do we have?
well, like i said, it's an individual experience. most of the time, people are going to choose words and communities that resonate with them for whatever reason. for some people it might be bc they have grown up not liking penises in a world where they were expected to. for others it might mean growing up liking just Women in a world where they weren't expected to. for others it's liking non men. some others just like how "lesbian" feels on them and nothing else fits right. "lesbian" communicates something to people and it communicates a community that they feel a part of.
your conception of your sexuality and gender is not the same as anyone else on earth now or anyone in the past. and that is okay. communities and labels ARE human constructs. that doesn't mean they are unimportant and it doesn't mean humans are "innately" bi/pan (i sure as fuck am not lol i've never "innately" wanted to suck a dick and it's felt very "innately" bad when men have been interested in me). but what it does mean is that if you ask any lesbian what being lesbian means to them, you are going to get a different answer. even within your strict community where you think you have one definitive answer, you will have people that disagree with that.
there is no "indescribable trait" women have over men. but neither is there some concrete "yes THIS is the ultimate way to describe (human feeling)". human feelings are infamously hard to describe and label and we do our best with social constructs and human made terms, but we are always always going to fall short. you can do the same with race and wealth and ability and ethnicity and history and and and- something being a social construct doesn't make it not real. it just makes it complicated and messy and not so easily defined. and that is perfectly okay and if you are going to dwell on this planet with other human beings you're going to have to get used to that, sorry to say
so what is a lesbian? a lesbian is someone that tells you they're a lesbian and you say "okay" and don't ask for their life fucking story about why they call themselves a lesbian or how. it's none of your fucking business. whether they agree with you or they don't, it is way easier to just move on and keep defining yourself how YOU want and letting others define themselves how THEY want
#this got long and since ur not asking in good faith i have no doubts ur not gonna absorb literally any of this but uuuuh try#and also if anyone is abt to fall down any t//erf rabbit holes maybe this will resonate w some others as well

i’m so confused as to how everyone seemingly came to the collective consensus that the dream premiere was some huge pivotal moment/statement for taekook. i don’t rlly understand how them showing up to a movie premiere together is a huge deal? it’s not like they waltzed in holding hands or anything like that. it very well could have just been two close friends/bandmates going to a movie premiere together bc why not? if any two other members had gone to a movie premiere together it would be seen as completely platonic and normal so why is tkk going made out to be some crazy brave and “wow” moment for them? everyone knows they’re friends. is it just bc jk was shy? bc that’s pretty normal for him tbh especially given that it was his first public outing since being on hiatus for a long time and only doing weverse lives from his house/gym.
also everyone seems to have concluded that they were definitely intentionally wearing queer coded clothes when honestly their outfits were pretty normal. ppl just dug extensively into the background of every item they wore and found some far-off connection to queerness/tkk when rlly it’s so unlikely they planned each article of clothing out like that. bc for what? they’re not actually trying to come out so why would they plan queer coded outfits as some “secret sign” ? like ppl really think jungkook looked up the exact quotes of the print on his jacket and traced it back to being vaguely alluded to something queer? and then said to himself “yes this is what i’ll wear to show the world” ?? and ppl genuinely believe taehyung intentionally wore the brand juntae kim to symbolize the connection of their two names together…like rlly? it’s just a brand…we talk so much abt how shippers connecting clothes/accessories to prove a relationship is stupid yet we’re out here doing the same and making it one of our biggest moments?
don’t get me wrong i love the dream premiere, it was cute, but i rlly don’t get why it’s been made out to be THAT much of a big deal. like i get the kappa tshirts thing bc those r clearly the exact same shirt on the same day but in what way is going to a movie premiere together some “huge step” ?
Vibes, my friend. Vibes.
Let me start by saying I also don't put much into the clothing. They may have been styled for it, they may have chosen themselves. Who knows? But I also wouldn't be surprised to find out it was deliberate. Tae is knowledgeable about queer culture, British music and art, etc. I don't think it's a reach to assume he knows who Morrissey or Oscar Wilde are. But ultimately no, I'm not factoring it into my thinking.
I found videos of a couple of other times two members attended a thing together.
Joonie and Hobi at Love Your W 2022 photowall.
youtube
They do heart poses together but when you watch the video, they are both completely focused on posing for camera. I'm not implying they're not close but there's a business-like vibe to it. Joonie was there to perform, it's on schedule etc.
I also found Jimin and Hobi at Dior in Paris.
This video doesn't show it but they arrive seperately, do photowall seperately* then sit together at the runway. They're on schedule.
(* there are some pictures showing them together at photo wall but they're edited.)
These both feel a bit different to:
👉 An off schedule event to support Seojoon.
👉 Tae going to his best friends premiere and taking a plus one.
👉 Being together at all points of the event from arriving in same car to leaving together to then continue being together with Wooga after the event.
👉 Hyungsik and Wooshik posed alone and they're super close. This might be because Tae and JK are grouped as BTS though.
👉 The pair of them having a number of moments of eyes on each other rather than anywhere else.
👉 JKs extreme giggliness which, though I see your point about him being shy, seemed excessively nervous.
👉 The fancams of JK stopping and Tae encouraging him.
👉 JKs somewhat pensive live later.
👉 This picture:

(I know it's a still photograph of a millisecond in time. I'm just being a dork.)
Vibes.
Thanks anon. It's good to look at this stuff twice and compare. If you know any other times two of them attended something, let me know! 💜

Hi anon!
Personally, I don’t see Dream premiere as the ‘they’re making a statement’ some seem to think it is. I think it was important to them personally, because they got to do something just the two of them.. that would come closest to being couply as they publicly can. I think it’s something Tae especially wishes for and possibly this was a real moment for them because of that. Just.. being somewhere together knowing themselves that they are a couple.. I think it must’ve felt satisfying to a certain degree.
I don’t think it was their way of telling the public they are together. I don’t think they specifically chose those clothes to make a statement, rather I think it’s clothes they like from brands they like. I would like to say though that I think both Tae and Jk are aware of what’s behind the brands they choose. I don’t think it’s them making huge statements, but rather them having preferences which are based in them being queer. I also think Tae would be aware of the Oscar Wilde reference. To me that is much more pointed than the brand he’s wearing. They probably are aware of the way fandom scrutinizes everything they do and wear, and I believe the wearing of queer brands is a choice.
I don’t fully agree with your assessment of Jk being shy. Having seen him solo, I know that man is capable of moving past his shyness and introverted tendencies. I don’t think it’s something he unlearns during the times he isn’t in public much. BTS members have trained for these things, they have learned through experiences how to deal with being the focus of everyone. So for me his shyness during Dream does not stem from being in the public eye again after a while.
If I were to go all sappy (I’m gonna… fully aware that my interpretation of this doesn’t proof a thing 😂)… it’s just in the way they look at each other. The way Tae seems all proud and endeared by Jk. How they hold eye contact for a bit and then look away cutely. How Tae reassures Jk and Jk goes giggly. It’s soft to me in ways I maybe can’t explain correctly.

The Ultimate Reading Challenge : Re-Read a book you loved as a child.

I asked my mother what book I loved as a child and she said me and The Secret Garden were inseparable.
I was told that one of my aunts bought me the abridged version and later bought me the unabridged version because I seemed to love the story so much. Reading it again I notice 2 things; 1. Child me was on to something and 2. Child me was oblivious to the mean statements about the FMC as the FMC was.
Re-reading this as an adult was wild because what do you mean the adults spend half the book saying this is a miserable ugly looking child? Y'all being real mean to a 10 yo, my word! I also see comments of ppl complaining about ableism but sometimes we gotta expect some media won't age well when it was written forever ago.
Now that I've completed this challenge it's time to reveal the reward! Spoilers below.
Book Darts! I didn't even know this was a thing but they're cute! Will be using them at my next opportunity!

Thanks for reading this far. Until next time, happy reading!

Wait what is happening with maxdibert and who is that?
a severus fan blog that i think mostly just posts anti-posts ? & they actively seem to try to get in fights with other people, by mosting anti-posts on people's main blogs & making very wild statements. my advice would be to just block
the recent thing about them (what the prev anon was referencing ig) was maxdibert making a satire post hating on fanon hcs with their own satire hcs, but it was very much in very racist, misogynistic, & ableist undertones, which is what ppl are complaining about (i've only seen some of what's going on and it seems to be focusing mostly around their mary hc being racist (obv mary has no canon race, so hc'ing her as white is very much valid, but bcs she's so widely hc'd as black by the popular fanon is where the issue comes in)
i think the blog is probably just ragebait at this point, just cause i never rlly actually see positive posts from them, its always just hating & trying to stir up drama. so yeah. i'd recommend blocking to prevent that, unless u want to argue ig
(pls don't send me more asks about this, if u have any asks u wanna send about this can u just go to @vulcajes instead)
#also can i just ask to stop getting asks about this#i currently dont have the mental energy to engage in online fights & i think these asks may bring that about which i just do not wanna deal#like no hate anon i get wanting to know whats happening but ive got a bunch of the same asks in my ask box at this point#can we just get back to normal asks about actual marauders and shit thanks#anon ask

wild blue yonder
the tardis can regenerate itself...... !!! I mean, wait we knew that already kjhkjh but I just connected the dots now that... that means The Time Lords mined and mauled the child just to make their cars better, as well. Damn...
in classic who u used to have to use ur imagination to pretend everything wasn’t a wobbly set... now u have to use ur imagination to pretend everything isn’t a greenscreen :/
"is that who i am now?" the shocking thing isn’t that he is gay (that’s what donna interprets) the shock to himself is voicing how horny he is lol
Someone is gonna say gravity and that's gonna be fucking weird
"it would take trillion years to get that far” chills!
"no one is ever been this far. till us. and this ship" colonialism fiction dna shining thru
“you little streak��� <3
"she'll move on" "not shaun, he'll go to that alleyway every year..." \ten at the alleyway to see rose parallel....
Ghost aroma!!!
blue and orange motif....…………… 13 aesthetic moments.... [13 and Swarm coded? / aka entropy/life coded?/donna and the doc...]
“maybe there's a tribe and they worship it… (…) time passes and the city falls... and there's the tardis" beautiful!! I'm could do somth w/ re: w/ the doctor and their companions. (eyes emoji)
"it got complicated" UNDERSTATEMENT OF A CENTURY #2
"The notion of shape is strange." "it limits" literally current architecture theory
This is so nofna solar system-core
love a classic “anti matter hates matter” story
[the no-bodies…?....cousins to the the could have been king ... with his army of never wheres…?]
This feels very [doctor trying to figure out their body in each regeneration] [intentionally?] this is so end of evangelion poster-core
"it’s strange enough my face coming back, but not this big" / [metaphor for reboots?]
This episode is like the clamoring for us to get a castrovalva 2 escher-like world again next season
"that's not gonna work either" i love these idiots
"why does it have to be one last trip?" rtd ringing moffat / gatiss / gardner / etc and being like like -
ok but follow this reasoning: if the doctor is the same person bc they keep their memories (as the show makes a point of.... constantly) ... and if the memories make the person ... then indeed an entity that copies the memories is the same person, is it not? Where do we draw the line between who’s “real” and who isn’t, in this scenario?
A CREATION I DEVASTATED / literally watched WoM two seconds before this w/ ten all "everything i do just makes it happen" sdjsdkf this is what i mean when i say the doctor has never Processed anythingggg since that Bottom Pit moment
"it wasn't your fault" "i know! (but it stil sucks!!!)" me at therapy like
"WHY DOES HE NEED YOU?" me, Pavlovian tone: because he is lonely...
“when something is gone, it keeps existing” → highlight this!!!! this is gonna be the new thesis statement about Grief!!! this is gonna be The Point for the next 4 years lol
It's very fun to watch this after marath6ning all of ten's era bc it's like... that boy never processed any of that shit. did 11 process shit? did 12? 12 maybe a little but really i think they just got even more trauma (bill ): ) dkdksks and don't get me started on 13. basically what im saying is the doctor Never did get a break on between waters of mars up until now... [and i guess to go further never did get a break after since like....... freaking ghost light skskskskkjkj seven is still There. we don't think about that enough.]
Donna being a clone fucker is not a headcanon ever thought i had but im glad its been confirmed now "donma doesn't think she"s stupid" im sure rtd has launched this exact same rant on so some unwilling family members while browsing ao3 "stop copying and make up your own minds" social commentary / commentary on reboots again / core "individualism > society" dr. who 101 messaging
The not things are kinda.... cute? skdksk if they weren't murderous they look like ppl to hang out w/ and play videogames......
"what do you want?" "you tell us" fundamental doctor-companion dialogue....
"love letters don't travel very far" put a pin on that...
ok.... ARGHGHGHH LET ME THINK THINK THINK skskks me failing at CBT be like
What if the doctor is from our universe. what then the doctor being like we have to mill ourselves immediately feels very 13
this is like "what if turn left and midnight but they go through it together this time <3" fic "where the walls are thin and anything is possible" eyes emoji
"that copy was 99% donna" so maybe re:earlier... what the show is saying between copy vs real is that it's all about the x factor, the 1%....
CONCLUSIONS! lived up to the hype! i think it's a bit 13-era vibe in that it's clearly influenced by all the prestige space-base-isolation scifi we see in the ~cinema now every year. the aesthetic is hitting that vibe (and going to the root, there's also a very clear Alien influence). kinda wish we had more one offs just like this one :( bc i feel the other 2 specials have too much Work to do, so there's not enough time to do.Fun like lore and character stuff. Execution wise is very successful. the switcheroos work. the callbacks work. there's a lot of character stuff happening ("I just realized I'm still working through that!") but it doesn't interfere w/ the adventure itself. My one grip is there's a couple shots that do feel too green-screen-y, but overall the ep is visually amazing. def only a story you could do now. also I love that the NMDs were like "rtd is gonna retcon the timeless child!!! everyone hated it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" and he was like "cool. now watch this" lollll king moments. rare moments where it feels like we live in the best timeline.
#i think there's More stuff to analyze in this one but i need some time to Digest It#and some rewatches#dw spoilers#wild blue yonder#dw

update to the ridiculous discord shit going on:
the 2 ppl suddenly throwing a fit over "evry lf is a unvrs" WERE PART OF THE BEGINNING OF THE CONVO AND WERE PREVIOUSLY ONBOARD WITH EVERYTHING.
i'm even MORE astounded now.
all they wanted was more convo & education abt plstn to begin w, and they LIKED it JUST BEING A VALUE STATEMENT IN THE DISCORD.
WHAT THE FUCK.
everyone was chill w it
then the admin was tagged, she comes in, says "this all sounds great! could we also put 'evry lf is a unvrs' in the statement?"
THATS IT. THATS FUCKING IT.
and out of NOWHERE this person accuses her/it of being an "empty platitude"
IT IS ON PAR WITH LITERALLY EVERYTHING ELSE BEING DISCUSSED WHAT IS HAPPENING
then the other person who comes forward AGREEING that "performative stuff isn't REAL allyship"--which is WILD. CONSIDERING. THEY WERE TOTALLY ONBOARD WITH A VALUES STATEMENT. UNTIL A JWSH PHRASE APPEARED.
this other person IS JWSH and AGREES FOR SOME REASON?! even though they were the one arguing for leniency when ppl just aren't super educated abt a gncd that's being discussed!
WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING?!
i stg these ppl are fucking inscrutable, everything was LITERALLY. FINE. ready to be voted on!
then someone decided a super meaningful jwsh phrase was an "empty platitude" and OUT OF NOWHERE a jwsh person AGREED, so BOTH of these ppl have moved the goalposts because ??? i have literally no fucking clue.
update again
the original person who brought this whole thing up is saying "i don't want to use language that implies we're taking a lot of direct action bc that wasn't the point of this. it was just to make a values statement and a way of handling the group and the discord. if ppl WANT to take direct action, awesome, but that's not what this is."
so.
ONE person.
has decided that this phrase--
which is a jwsh teaching. that has been applied to everything. including carrying the weight and love for the ppl killed in o c t 7.
is somehow.
NOT okay to use.
if you aren't fundraising and protesting and taking a shitload of direct action.
even though i literally just. know jwsh ppl. who use/say the phrase and post it. and do "minimal" (if we're quantifying it) activist work.
i know i'm not jwsh. but. this was a thing BEFORE plstn/srl and it will be a thing AFTER this is all done (pls let there be a hopeful after)
so. like.
"say her name" is a phrase that anyone can say bc part of the goal is to remember, honor, and humanize (good god) victims of rcst violence.
their humanity is erased in those actions and the news coverage, and the perpetrators are often more remembered. so say her name is something you can SAY and DO even if you're unable to be out in the fucking streets.
it's a PHRASE for a REASON.
it can't be coopted or weakened if it is used in the exact context that it's intended for.
and i don't think a jwsh teaching that has exited for LITERAL THOUSANDS OF YEARS is something that CAN'T be used unless you ??? Something. for plstn.
to be clear, there was no recommendation for concrete, material action.
and there was no recognition that doing so as a group that doesn't even have an elected leadership or a fund would be basically impossible.
this is really going back to the PREVIOUS argument in this group about t-shirts to fundraise.
i'm not even sure that part of the discussion COVERED how impractical it would be, ESPECIALLY if we were going to political purity test every single step of the process.
there is no group fund. there is no official group leadership. how are you going to design the shirts, decide on the designs, buy the shirts, get them printed, and then organize selling them? where do those funds go? who's in charge? what are they USED for?
iirc, there wasn't really any thorough discussion of this.
and this whole thing of like "i'm the one jwsh person in this conversation and i say, despite everything i've said previously NOT indicating that this is my opinion, that you can't use THAT ONE PHRASE unelss you take direct, material, concrete action in support of plstne"
no explanation for WHY.
no recognition of the fact that its origins/source mean anyone can fucking say it and mean it.
and no recognition that organizing that on a massive group-scale, coming from a group with no leadership and no group fund, IS FUNCTIONALLY IMPOSSIBLE.
THE WHOLE POINT OF THIS CONVERSATION WAS TO MAKE A VALUES STATEMENT
WHICH YOU TWO HAD NO PROBLEM WITH AT ALL
YOU TWO HAD NO REASON TO DEMAND CONCRETE ACTION
UNTIL I POINTED OUT THAT THE PHRASE SOMEONE WANTED TO ADD WAS A JWSH PHRASE
AND NOW SUDDENLY IT'S A PROBLEM?! WHAT ARE WE FUCKING DOING
they did not have this request or this criticism before
and the jwsh person, at least in MY estimation, is siding with an antsmt who was anxious and angry abt being backed into a corner, and randomly threw out an argument in defense of their position
something they had not ONCE suggested in DAYS of back and forth conversation
i fucking HATE people. y'all are impossible to work with.
DO BETTER. BE BETTER. THIS IS FUCKING STUPID.

being so deadass honest, idc if its mean, scratchykit aka stickthelanding now is so fucking annoying. their bulletin spams of complete bullshit like spam images and song lyrics that i found AT LEAST eight bulletins full of, their unwanted opinions on OTHER PPLS BODIES AND CHOICES that they blast everywhere they can, and the CONSTANT victim blaming. its wild frrrr. first off, nobody gives half a damn about self diagnosis as you do. im diagnosed autistic and bipolar, and i do not give a damn if somebody goes "hey i cant afford a diagnosis because it takes multiple sessions of therapy and each one is $200 easily, so based off thorough research i did, imma say i might or probably have this". you are just as braindead as you call other ppl. "i didn't do anything against sangersuko" you a) ADMITTED to knowing he was him and ip blocked you by block evading, b) liked MULTIPLE blogs insulting his disability, maturity due to said disability, and terms of service which is literally his choice about his business and is not a big deal, and c) continue to post and whine about the drama blogs just like he did for a while?? how about you be more like him and shut the fuck up?? stop giving people fuel and learn that nobody actually cares about your statements or twenty bulletin posts about the same damn thing. sanger actually stopped whining. stopped calling it harassment. and grew a pair. as much as i found him insufferable, i admire the growth. you, my friend, do not stop. i dont always use developmental conditions as defense but sanger has been VERY open about having a developmental disability that has stunted his maturity, and lots of trauma that has left him semi-permanently regressed in age to about 14. he physically cannot control or help that. the guy is whiny sure but he is literally medically ill. as for to be straight forward about your lies:: - u sent THREE OR MORE blogs about sangersuko. not just one like you claim. u rlly had to get it all out there for everyone to see fr. - sangersuko is diagnosed with his disabilities, all of them. he posted it before but ended up deleting it out of paranoia because of YOU. so if he's not self diagnosed like you DEPISE so much, why are you hating on him so much?? because his terms of service isnt what you like??? - sanger has every damn right to blacklist you everywhere for the shit you said about him and supported about him?? "harassment isn't that nobody sent shit to you" they actually did!! he showed pictures of that in his original quitting bulletin! they sent him inboxes and shit!! so you know nothing. - blacklist and whine about every designer who has a wild tos, even popular ones. bratblush? honeybeest for gods sake??? their tos are even LONGER than sanger's was, but because he was some loser you decided he was the only one deserving harassment? also completely random about this but its so funny they STARTED posting shit about people after sanger posted the trumpie list, not before. like is that seriously what got them so fired up, why not post about him before that. they claim they didnt like him before and yet until he posted it he legit had no subs or designs and nobody knew him, and you hadn't said a word about him. weirdly coincidental. anyways, yea, i dont love sanger or even know him but i know he's 50 times more civil than scratchy is based off this, and thats saying something.
