#there's even a sister element

I watched Bubble (2022) the other day and the DickKory vibes on this movie were through the roofs.

What if I told you

That the reason Cole and his element has so much association with death

Was because the first master of earth literally married the Queen of the Departed

brother was talking to me about how if you almost die from an extreme-temperature-related incident then your body is just forever fucked towards that temperature and that's why i think kiryu and saejima are weak to ice. i dont know why aoki isn't like that too but ignore that statistic everything else tracks.

*thinks about phoenix & iris' savior complex and undying loyalty towards the most important people in their lives, how this directly affects their relationship to one another, how their shared values conflict but also compliment each other, why they were able to become so close to one another in the first place outside their differing motivations, how their relationship was the right place at the wrong time, why capcom needs to at least acknowledge iris because of her narrative importance to phoenix's character arc*

i do think some of the old guard of utena fans underestimate the sheer level of anthy’s disempowerment & what that entails for her. once again its the assumption that observing how & where a fictional character is a victim is somehow a remark on the moral superiority or ‘inherent goodness’ of a character when nobody is saying such. we talk about the duelists projecting on her but what r the rammifications knowing & being fully aware of how literally everyone around u sees u as a tool? there is nowhere anthy can actually claim power of her own no matter how malicious or well intended until damn near the end id argue. shes constantly forced to wear diff. costumes for purposes that risk her own self w no benefit or power bestowed upon her. abuse on some level requires the benefit of power, the gaining of control over somebody bc ur brutally reminding them ‘of their place’ & theres not a scene where anthy has this. she reminds utena of ‘her place’ & betrays her in ep38, but anthy receives no benefit. in fact, ‘humbling’ utena also comes at anthy’s own expense. shes being stabbed by the swords of hate & locked in the coffin.. nobody thinks shes ‘virtuous’ for being a victim. ppl r able to recognize her capacity for cruelty, but r also cognizant on how this is not the same as abuse, bc she reaps none of the control/ power abuse bestows upon its actor.

i gotta say, 13 hours into omori, i don't get why people call it a horror game

Kirby Star Allies is one of, if not my absolute favorite Kirby games, and I recognize while it's on paper one of the weaker entries in the core series, it appeals to me personally on multiple levels and I think I should revisit it more

sayu would work for this dipshit willingly even on top of her other work for the shuumatsuban and heizou would unknowingly get attached to her and he would end up feeling disoriented while solving cases if shes not there because her presence is just soothing and we all know it deep down

heizou: *solving a case and talking his mouth off*

heizou: what do u think sayu

sayu:

heizou: man alive, i’ve solved it! sayu youre a genius!! holy shit!!

it's always interesting to me how a bunch of analyses on knives’s character I've seen/read rely on the affirmation that he's inherently in an advantageous or privileged position compared to vash when not only are both of them from the same female-presenting species, they both suffered from the same gendered trauma and exposure to oppression/violence in the form of tessla as kids - it was their reactions and processing (or lack of processing, in knives’s case) of it that ultimately shaped what would later become their opposing ideals and/or beliefs.

obviously, our own different experiences, thoughts, beliefs etc irl will influence our readings on these sort of characters but idk, I think it's curious that knives's brand of rage/hatred/violence is seen as a Clearly Cis Masculine thing (which boy. there's a lot to unpack there) when these feelings stem from a deeply rooted fear of exploitation and consumption (that he can be subjected to, by virtue of the species he belongs to and what his body can do) that can be pretty relatable to afab folks imo. the lowkey infantilization is huh interesting as well bc honestly a lot of knives's overly emotional reactions remind me of afab characters who are immediately dismissed as crazy, hysterical etc etc for acting the same

anyway. I don't really care what genitals ppl hc knives with bc lord knows porn is free real estate and that's another matter (I've personally enjoyed fanarts/fics where he's depicted as having either, both, or smth completely different) but eh ig what I mean to say with all this useless rambling is that knives belonging to the same (oppressed) species as vash and still exhibiting abusive behaviors towards him doesn't automatically make knives the Cishet Male Privileged guy fighting against vash's Queer Trans Marginalization when both can easily be read as sexually-and-gender queer (even if in different ways) and if you believe folks from the same oppressed/marginalized group can't hurt each other well. think abt that perhaps

(as a side note bc this apparently needs to be said on these kinda posts but No I Do Not Think Knives’s Genocidal Tendencies Are Okay)

Felt like drawing him more

My spicy 🌶️ asoiaf hot take of the day is that if we look at his character arc in terms of what it takes and costs to be a hero, to the extent that one has to lose their own humanity and become something that can be considered monstrous to save thousands/millions, Jon Snow’s Dune parallel is actually Leto II. In this essay, I will-

asanuma-san commented that noctiluna was really beautiful thru his tears but he also demanded to know where the hell was the rap lmao and i’m pretty sure it got a little lost in translation since sakakihara-san and takeuchi-san had to interpret the song based on lyrics and the instrumentals lmao

I am thinking about her again (this very specific series of emotions from the Lullaby for a Princess animation)

it's probably a good thing that so little time is spent on wwx being dead because once I read a fic with jyl pov where she survived and wwx didn't and it genuinely was one of the most painful and heartbreaking things I have ever read. I can't even convey how miserable a fanfiction made me. I was grieving for real
