A frustrating development with the growing lack of reading comprehension I've personally noticed is an emerging fervor of insisting things aren't canon unless they are explicitly stated beyond all reasonable doubt.

I can not emphasize enough how harmful a mindset this is to have. Yes, it's wonderful to have characters outright say "I'm trans," but to deny a character's identity for not saying that is dangerous.

Plenty of real people prefer not to use specific labels. Historically, people didn't have our modern terms or modes of expression. Many modern cultures don't use these terms, either, and plenty of people within those that do can't safely openly identify.

If the only representation you accept as canon is within modern (and let's be honest, wealthy white able-bodied American) standards, then you are denying yourself and others a huge amount of representation and seriously limiting the media around you.

nanami tries to use animals to humiliate Anthy— she perceives caring for animals as ‘weird’ enough to be off-putting for Miki and Utena— but it backfires at every turn bc Anthy is unapologetically an animal lover/clearly manipulating the reality of the situation a bit to fuck with Nanami… but clearly it was Nanami’s idea to utilize animals this way in the first place and is emotionally invested in them enough to be upset when they die… like at the end of the day she is the ‘weird girl’ she’s trying to hard to humiliate ouch. And Anthy wants to eat her a little.

it’s like. it’s about lineage it’s about blood it’s about bigotry it’s about fear and hatred of the other it’s about friendship it’s about choice it’s about love it’s about being half one thing and half another and being ostracized by both your communities it’s about bisexuality it’s about being multiethnic it’s about being unable to find a community and so you build your own. feeling insane

why do you find sevika so interesting? :)

cracks knuckles. let's take a deep dive.

sevika is my second most adored character in arcane. yes she's bad-ass but that isn't it alone. she's loyal. she's loyal at the risk of it all, and i simply adore her for it. her love for zaun runs bright through her blood, and if you just watch her, it inspires, truly. she went up against vander because she thought that his love for his kids was so skewing his judgement. the kids went free, but the rest of them would suffer. that is why she left to follow silco. because she thought he really had the momentum to really bring change to zaun.

i think, that on some level, she and vi blame each other what everything that went down. vi blames sevika for betraying vander, and sevika blames vi for the softness in vander, just like she blames jinx for clouding silco's judgment. but even in silco's tenderness towards jinx, she does not betray him, because she still believes he has the ability to change the undercity.

her loyalty is fueled by hope. a tender hope for a better tomorrow for herself and her city. to some extent i believe that sevika's devotion to silco was nothing short of religious. he was her icon, the physical embodiment of her faith. so if he had a plan, she'd accomplish it, no matter what had to be done to do so. and that's why i find her so interesting. making a choice to chose a brighter future even if her hands are bloodied in the present.

and then, i've already spoken multiple times about how she choses people who never choose there in the end. there's a loneliness to that, and she's always been on the rougher end of things. it's a life i don't think she wants for anyone else (e.g. she gives silco advice about jinx even though she had a failed relationship with her father). she's a woman of many paradoxes, but then again, i think that's what makes her so great. anyways, bottom line. i love her.
