like the return of the r slur and horrible fatphobia and gay jokes and the misogyny oh my fucking god can we talk about the misogyny. we have culturally regressed to the eary 2010s but when you try to call people out they’re liek ohhh it’s just a joke 😂. i’m sorry but i don’t want to hear jokes about pedophilia or about rape or about racism that is not funny and it never will be. everything is ironic and if you get offended it’s cuz you’re a crazy femnazi who cares too much. because it’s apparently uncool to take anything serious or do anything with actual sincerity anymore

Hope is a lie if you mistake it for a promise. No, hope is a gamble. A chance that it might work out in your favour. A possibility that those odds are worth the risk. A cornered rat does not launch to bite a dog in the face with absolute confidence that it will escape with its life.

It attacks for the chance that it might.

Green eyes shouldn’t actually be considered an eye color. It’s just not common enough, it’s a VERY SMALL percentage of the population, 1-2%. Green eyes are also caused by an irregular mutation. Most people have blue or brown eyes, so those are the two eye colors.

All the “green eyes” positivity is actually a bad thing, by the way. Having green eyes is linked to higher rates of retinal melanoma. You’re celebrating something dangerous that can cause suffering.

And besides, most people with “green eyes” lean closer to blue or brown anyways. They should just make up their minds and be brown eyed or blue eyed. And if it’s too hard to tell, they should get corrective surgery (because green eyes are dangerous, and associated with more difficult medical care!) or at the least wear contacts so they don’t confuse people. But also they should be required to

I hate to sound like this, but green eyes are a far more recent development than blue eyes in the mutagenic history of humans. So humans weren’t created to have green eyes.

And hazel eyes? Those are just a variant of brown eyes—come on, they’re far closer to brown than green. They just have a couple greenish traits. And there’s no way there’s that many green eyed people, or a wide variety of eye colors… It’s just not natural.

I don’t have a problem with green eyed people, they didn’t ask to be born that way—but there’s just too few of them for it to be an actual eye color. We don’t need all this “green eye positivity” or putting green eyes in media. The internet is making people delude themselves into thinking it’s more common than it really is.

✅ I HAVE GREEN EYES THIS IS SATIRE ✅

⚠️ PLEASE DON’T SEND ME ANY MORE THREATS OF VIOLENCE IN DEFENSE OF PEOPLE WITH GREEN EYES?? ⚠️

💧 THIS POST IS NOT ABOUT EYE COLOR?? IT’S ABOUT INTERSEXISM AND BIGOTRY 💧

zoro coming back after the timeskip with a red sash as a part of his iconic, base outfit is something i am fascinated by.

red, a colour so uncommonly associated with zoro; it’s the antithesis of him. the only time we see zoro intertwined with red is when he is decorated in blood, whether it’s his own or countless others. red is just not a character colour of zoro's, like we see all the strawhats lend themselves to colour palettes and personal preferences. as a character he is shrouded in black and green, with blue and white as secondary variations when the arc calls for an outfit change. he is peaceful like a winter's breeze, grass tipped in frost, and dark like the grim reaper's cold embrace.

zoro is not red, he is about as red as he is light pink or neon orange. red is, while also opposite to green on the colour wheel, opposite to his characteristics. yet for return to sabaody and onigashima he seems to wear it like a good luck charm. always when the situation is planned and monumental will we see zoro have a small token of red with him each time. quite unarguably, red means one thing in one piece. even more, red means one thing to zoro. red means luffy.

so a red sash? coming back after the timeskip shrouded in green and black, understandably for zoro, with an additional searing red sash around his middle. dressing for the final battle against kaidou and all his men, adding a contrasting red sash to his entirely black outfit. zoro wears red in significant yet small ways like it's something he doesn't own. zoro wears red like it's something to always bring with him, not like a fashion choice.

and that makes so much sense. zoro, sentimental and loving, would wear the colour of his captain at the centre of his outfit like a medal. he would long to be reminded of luffy; zoro follows luffy with such pride i can see him already, choosing his outfits with purposeful swelling and devotion in his heart. zoro wears red, not because it's his own, but because it is luffy.

additionally, the situations and how he wears it are significant. zoro wears red when it matters, the strawhats most important ordeals, like a symbol. he also wears it in his core outfit more than anything, like it’s a part of his very foundations. red is a part of him. lastly, he wears it as a sash; what holds his swords. it's like zoro's tying everything precious to him, his captain and kuina held against him, luffy holding onto wado. his two treasures.

zoro's red sash is a small detail i really love.

One of my best traits is that I'm not defensive of thoughts or ideas I'm not sure about. If I vaguely remember something being some way, and someone who's more familiar with the subject goes "actually, no, they changed that, these days it's this way, and has been like that for the past 17 years", I'm only grateful of that. If something coming out of my mouth might be wrong, it's no surprise or insult to me to find out that it was.

One of my worst traits is that I am aggressively defensive of thoughts and ideas I am sure about. If I'm talking about something I'm very familiar with academically and in my personal life, and someone comes to correct me incorrectly like "um actually [blatantly wrong and regurgitated tumblr pop culture misconception, that is also worded poorly]", I am going to rip the leg off the nearest piece of furniture and beat you with it.

I'm not a socially awkward introvert. I'm a socially awkward extrovert. I am perfectly capable of carrying a conversation, but I'll carry it like a seagull carries a french fry. Snatching it from your fingers and flying off faster than you can process, and then taking it somewhere weird.

I’m back at it again with the ASL crossover AUs

Predictably, this time it’s cookie run kingdom :)

More notes and stuff in the read more!

So putting ASL into CRK, i thought the most fitting location to be their hometown would be the Creme Republic since it also has this clear class divide and split between the upper city and the back alleys and lower city. Since the Creme Republic was established by Vanilla Kingdom refugees settling into an existing seafaring civilization, there's also some precedent there for sailing and ample inspiration for the three of them to become pirates.

Starting with Blueberry Custard (Sabo), he's a runaway child of House Custard, which has a seat on the Convocation of Elders. The heir having run away to sea and been presumed dead, Custard Cookie would eventually adopt Clotted Cream Cookie from House Scone to fill the empty seat and gain political power through Clotted Cream Cookie's achievements. I like to think that though Blueberry Custard holds a decent amount of resentment as a whole towards House Custard and the noble families of the Republic, he acknowledges that Clotted Cream Cookie's work as Consul at least attempts to manage some problems with the state of the Republic.

Rubber Fig (Luffy) and Chili Crisp (Ace) are both descendants of dragons from the Dragon's Valley, but do not have the ability to transform into a dragon. They merely retain the slitted pupils and ridiculous strength of the dragons. Chili Crisp in particular definitely descends from some of the spicy cookies near the Dragon's Valley. Blueberry Custard doesn't have any dragon blood in him, but he has slitted pupils anyways because he's a bit insane at all times :)

Gameplay-wise, I imagine Sabo as a Charge cookie since he's a frontliner that hits quite hard. I debated between a few different classes for Ace since fire can be quite versatile, but decided on him as a Bomber cookie since he would deal great damage in skills. Despite being a Bomber, he's still prioritized to the front because he wants to be Up Close and Personal when he throws fire at your face. Finally, Luffy reminds me a little bit of Moon Rabbit: squishy but very robust and tanky, so he's a Defense cookie. Altogether, they don't make a super viable team comp, but they do get a buff from being placed on the same team. If only the three of them are on a team, Luffy is the one that gets the middle position even though he's Defense because Ace and Sabo want to protect him :)

I don't think fantasy writers play enough with the concept of the different fantasy races having distinct ethnicities. Like imagine a group of mixed peoples, where the dwarves are all roasting each other like dwarves do, and one of them remarks that when he first saw one of the other dwarves in the group, he mistook her for a man. The other dwarves in the group blink in surprise - the closest that dwarves will go to an audible gasp of shock - and she pulls out a knife and tries to stab him.

Once the dwarves have been separated from each other and the situation has calmed, one of the humans asks another dwarf what that incident was about. Naturally a human woman would have been insulted too, but dwarves are so jovial about insulting each other, why was this matter different?

And the dwarf who was asked explains that there are things you can brutally insult another dwarf about, and there are things you simply do not touch. The dwarf-woman in question is from a completely different region of The Great Underground as the others, and her people have different norms about what kind of patterns men and women braid into their beards. The dwarf insulting her wasn't only insulting her appearance, he was being racist.

The human is surprised to learn that dwarves have different peoples, and the dwarf looks at them like at an idiot. Of course they do, they even look completely different from each other. And the human listens as the dwarf lists off various distinguishing clothing details too nuanced for a human to notice, and then how dwarves coming from different corners of the world have different physical traits, according to what kind of conditions their local stone types dictate.

The human spots a connection and goes oh! We have that too, though ours are not about rock types and tunnel air, but the weather aboveground. Humans' facial features vary by how hot, cold, arid or windy their ancestors' homelands were, and our skin tone varies by how much the sun shines in their native region.

The dwarf frowns at the last part, going "I thought you people just paint your skin and dye your hair for fun", and the human admits that yeah, we do that too, but not all the time, and not the whole skin. The dwarf asks, what of that tall woman the colour of dravite, her palms and the soles of her feet were lighter than the rest of her. Does that mean she paints herself dark to be more beautiful?

The human says no, that just happens naturally. Maybe it's because one's palms and feet aren't exposed to the sun as much, so they are paler.

The dwarf nods, still unsure whether this is actually legit or just the human habit of lying for fun, and proceeds to ask about the wild northman of their party. He is as pale as an olm, but the palms of his hands and the soles of his feet are dark. Are they painted, or naturally that way?

No, the human answers. That guy just doesn't bathe.

I come from a culture that has no nudity taboo - nudity is not considered inherently sexual, or somehow traumatising to witness. What that means in practice is that there is a clearly drawn line between sexual and non-sexual nudity. There is nothing wrong or inappropriate about nudity in a sexual context, and nothing wrong or inappropriate about nudity in a non-sexual context. However, it is 100% inappropriate to be nude in a situation where it is not obvious from context whether this is sexual or not.

I've seen random kids who briefly escaped from their parents bolt across a public park buck-ass naked after they were playing in the water fountain and their parents were in the middle of changing their kid from wet clothes to dry clothes when the small nudist escaped. Changing your small kid's clothes right there in public is ok because there is obviously nothing sexual about a child whose clothes got wet. But although people will have baby pictures of their kids in the bath or just running around the house like that because sometimes little apes hate clothes for some reason, it's considered common sense to not share those pictures on facebook mom groups and such, because you have no way of knowing who's seeing them, and that blurs the line of context.

It all boils down to the clearly defined context. Bathing nude in the same sauna with five of your co-workers at the office christmas party? Clearly nonsexual, therefore completely fine. Your friend-with-benefits inviting you to come over and opening the door in nothing but a doggy collar and the most porn-scented perfume? Clearly sexual, therefore completely fine. A woman checking her breasts for lumps in the gym lockers just before or after a shower? Clearly non-sexual, therefore completely fine.

But if you went to the bank today and there's some guy who walks in and immediately strips naked, doing his banking business wearing nothing but a deep smile and being clearly very content with this situation, you have no way of telling whether he's getting kicks out of this or not. There is no contextual reason for him to be nude. Therefore, that is inappropriate.

Then you go home and post on tumblr - as one does - going like "there was some dude completely fucking buck-ass naked in the bank today. That was fucking weird and I wish he had not done that." And someone immediately swoops into inform you that actually nudity is not inherently sexual or inappropriate, and there are cultures out there that have no nudity taboo. It's not fair to call somebody a freak for something like that, maybe that guy was just finnish.

Does anyone else get that gut wrenching feeling of frustration whenever someone comforts you after you vent to them?

Like it's not in the sense that they're forcing advice onto me or like saying the wrong things. It's just that you know that what they're saying is true and you hate it you know

I constantly cry about how incompetent and inferior I feel around other people. I think that I'm not living up to my potential and that knowing this all I do is just whine and sob and just do nothing about it. Then my friend tells me that I'm literally doing the best that I can knowing the situation I'm in. That I'm 1) effortlessly smart 2) I always take care of myself and 3) I'm so friendly to so many people

AND IT'S WORSE WHEN THEY PULL OUT THE RECEIPTS AND SHIT 😭😭 Like yeah I know that that's how people perceive me and I know that people think I'm good enough but I feel like I'm never doing enough and I don't know why

I'm so bad and lazy at working it makes me wanna pull out my scalp, I'm so bad at understanding social cues or following schedules and I hate it I just hate it cause I know what I could do with my potential but I just can't and it sucks so fucking hard.

I don't know how people think I'm hardworking or friendly or confident when all I do is just study for 30 minutes the night before a test, I get easily angry when people don't listen to what I say, and I'm so fucking socially anxious I cried 4 TIMES in a public centre where I was the centre of attention because I COULDN'T GET MYSELF TO SPEAKKKK

🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ but like yeah you know life and shit
