[mysticsapphicsblog]

why must people bicker over whether your existence is more valid than another - don't we have enough shit to be dealing with in the world that we don't need to argue online with people we've never met???

Racism and colourism are systemic, and of course they're rampant in most media, fandoms, merchandising, the whole shebang. So these are far from the only examples of this being a problem, but it's maddening being into jjba, ffvii, and fma and seeing damn near NOTHING for any of the (scant) core characters of colour from these fandoms.

Like, wow, cool fanart of the cast of Stardust Crusaders! Where's Avdol? :))))

Great fanart of the ffvii team! Why's Barret MIA? :))))

Oh cool, look at all of this art featuring the large fma cast (if not massive cast regarding mangahood)! It includes villains even! ... So Scar just doesn't exist or...? Man, not even Miles? Paninya?? Hello????

A collection of quotes from my unhinged DnD campaign notes:

[tyrannuspitch]

re: discussion of anti-imperialism in ragnarok: something i think is pretty striking about t3 in contrast to previous thor films (and avengers 2012) is the total absence of the perspective of any victims of asgardian imperialism.

those three films give us a variety of perspectives, including but not limited to:

jane, a human, as a main character and love interest, and thor beginning to overcome his anti-human prejudice as key to his redemption

jotunheim initially depicted as monsters, but then revealed to be victims, and their demonisation to be part of their victimhood

loki as both victim and perpetrator of imperial violence; a stolen child who was groomed to redirect his self-loathing onto others, now doing exactly that

humanity defending against invasion as protagonists and (in the avengers) the majority of the cast

malekith as both victim and perpetrator of imperial violence; a brutally defeated rival of asgard's returning to exact revenge both on asgard and on the universe they were competing to control

and like, these films are definitely not perfect. but there is always at least one major character for whose life asgardian imperialism has ruined or could ruin during the course of the film.

whereas in ragnarok...

the jotuns, the dark elves, and all of asgard's other rivals and victims are absent - except a brief appearance of surtur, who is treated straightforwardly as a dragon to slay.

one human (bruce) is there, but his humanity, iirc, goes basically unremarked upon, and earth is not important.

loki is still there, but his past is brushed under the rug.

hela is a thematic focal point, but, unlikely loki (who she's clearly meant to mirror), she's only a victim of interpersonal abuse, not of imperial violence, because she's just asgardian royalty and nothing else.

valkyrie is a new character who was traumatised by hela's imperialism... but only because she was a soldier of asgard at the time.

like... do you see the void? the whole film is about how asgard's imperial past impacts the royal family and citizens of asgard. we're told ABOUT violence in a distant, almost mythical past, but we don't witness it. we're told to associate that dark past almost exclusively with hela; we're led to exonerate odin as a good king who learnt from his mistakes; we're introduced to val as a warrior from that exact era without the matter of her participation EVER coming up; and we're almost retconned into believing that thor and loki *didn't* participate in asgardian imperialism (outside of loki's villain arcs) even though that's exactly what we saw in thor 1.

the one group of victims we *do* see are the victims of the *grandmaster's* tyranny, a category which includes thor, loki, bruce and val to various extents... but again, isn't that odd? we see asgardians as victims, but we don't see the victims *of asgard*?

i'm not saying this is necessarily Evil or whatever, just poorly thought-out. but still... once you see it, it's a pretty glaring oversight, isn't it?

When are you gonna come fold my laundry though??

Payment in orgasms

Any day! I honestly love everything about doing laundry, to the point I do the ladies laundry I rent from because she hates it lool she pays me in homemade apple pie tho, not orgasms. I could argue apple pie is better but it's about lunchtime so I'm probably hungry and lying

[vonlipvig]

no but seeing that random tbosas tiktok that used my sejanus art was truly a jumpscare. why did they use pictures of all the actors EXCEPT for sejanus on like slide 6 of 8 of the tiktok. and it was my art. cropped. cmon.

[merethicera]

the dude whose content i tend to recommend as a better alternative to pat's unhinged rambling put out a new video in his 3 part skyrim series and he has bad stormcloak takes too

(i dont feel like being eloquent so im just gonna ramble in the tags)

[asteralien]

i will be having an actually pretty solid mental health day until approx. 9:45 am when the demon in my brain which carries the memory of the first 30 minutes of hereditary wakes up and goes "remember this on loop you ugly bitch" and it's all over from there

[maybeimissu]

If bucky don't appear in the movie There will be no factors for the success of the movie. Do you think anyone is waiting for a Falcon movie or Anthony? No one is waiting, not even me And if Bucky does not appear, the movie will fail because everyone will enter the movie for Bucky, no more or less. You have to thank Bucky and wish his presence because he will be The credit for the success of this film For a silly star and a bad director

it's been a while since i heard such a rancid and stupid take. i'm only replying so others can see what an idiot you are. but it's currently 5am and i'm not in the mood for going into the details of exactly why you're wrong

[babsaros]

my baldurs gate adventuring party is currently 3 lesbians and a gay man to keep the peace

[irregularjohnnywiggins]

You know a series is good when you go looking for negative reviews of it and every single one contains the phrase 'woke' or 'diversity hire'.

Anyway, I've got no clue if it's available in the US but if you get a chance to watch The Midwich Cuckoos I really recommend it.

[bunnyb34r]

We just don't know :)

I've been a little mermaid fan since infancy

I had one consistent thing in my life that has followed me from infancy all the way to adulthood. That is my love for the little mermaid. Every single household item you can think of it is Little mermaid theme I have tubs of Little mermaid collectibles because every tiny little mermaid themed thing my mom found she bought for me I have a Hallmark ornament from every single year since I was a child of The Little mermaid. My transition from adolescence to childhood is very similar to Ariel's story. I even have a tattoo of her on my arm.

Ariel from The Little mermaid was my Disney princess that I have loved unconditionally my entire life.

Speaking of entire lives I have waited for the live action remake of The Little mermaid my entire life. I have patiently watched Disney make every live remake of every popular Disney classic out there except The Little mermaid. Now that there is a possibility for me to finally see The Little mermaid in live action it turns out to be a huge controversial issue. Just breaks my heart.

Imagine being so excited and waiting your whole life for something just to see all of the nasty things that people have been saying and the nasty things that people have been making about it.

Racist.

I will judge this movie like I judge every movie. I will judge the actress on her ability to not only sing but to portray Ariel and her story correctly. I will be critiquing the amount of energy and CGI work they've put into this movie. I will pay attention to dialogue and I will pay attention to the details of the movie that I would for every movie.

If you're a little mermaid fan who is so devastated over the fact that the lead character is black you were never a Little mermaid fan in the first place.

If you were a real fan you would know that there are numerous mermaids that have melanin. I have watched all the movies and have seen the show there are mermaids of color.

The argument "that mermaids can't be black because there's no sun underwater so therefore they can't have melanin" is the most dumbest excuse I've heard

The most rational one I heard is oh she's Danish it's based on a Danish story. I personally don't give a fuck it is not the end of the world to me. I just want to see the movie I've waited my whole life for.

I thought it was common knowledge but yes the sun does reach underwater. Another thing is if you watched The Little mermaid all of their movies including the show you would understand that they are up at the surface a lot. The story behind Ariel's mother's death proves the fact that mermaids like to hang up on the surface sit on rocks and sunbathe that is how Ariel's mother got caught and killed. So how many times have we seen Ariel hopping up on rocks and shit and going up to the surface and how many mermaids are up at the surface. Point is mermaids get sun bro. Therefore the possibility of there being a dark-skinned mermaid out there makes sense.

But we're speaking fictionally here: but if you want to get down to facts- if mermaids were real they would look nothing like Us they would not have half human skin half fishtail... they would have reptilian like skin everywhere. They wouldn't have hair they wouldn't even have the same eyes as us.

I'll be more than happy to elaborate more on this when I'm not tired and not fighting through my sleep meds

So do a us all a favor and shut the fuck up. Nobody cares that you're not going to watch the movie we will do just fine without you.

Unkind and controversial opinion but if christans were the minority that they think they are and we're as "persecuted" as they think they are the world and a lot more people would be safer and happier and the world would be better.
