something that sticks out to me with kaz is his fondness for stage magic type tricks and escape artistry. it reminds me of things like how the start of the adventures of cavalier and clay there's a big portion about how the one boy admires harry houdini and aspires to be like him. that to be able to be like him was the dream of every jewish boy on the block. or figures like hershel of ostropol who plays tricks and can't ever be truly caught and who succeeds via clever schemes.

kaz isn't filled with the aspirational dreams of being like harry houdini though. and he's not a fun folklore hero you'd find in a children's picture book. he's very grim and he's exceptionally brutal. he's very driven, yes, but his motivation is revenge.

this isn't really a complete thought. it's only a half thought. but it is one that i've been thinking of while reading this book. maybe it will develop into a more cogent and purposeful thing at some point.

#six of crows #i'm just finding the predilection for or admiration of clever tricks and escape artistry in stories by jewish authors neat #also reminds me tangentially that part of why i like yugi mutoh so much as a shonen protagonist #is because he doesn't win via overwhelming physical power #but via cleverness #and that his cleverness is very often displayed via stage magic

also speaking of all this. until i started playing arknights i was genuinely unaware of there being men in the game save maybe the doctor possibly.

but mostly i'd just prefer if people stop acting like there is some sort of singular, unified fandom experience and history. and to also stop assuming that others share their same fandom experience.

[aeondeug]

i will admit i do find it kind of annoying that it's assumed that everyone in fandom ships m/m and heavily prioritizes it. i do like m/m. i read danmei after all. but it's never been my priority and a lot of the big ships like sasunaru i've just never given a shit about. or they're like akuroku i've only ever shipped them as bisexual throuples. my focus has always been on f/f with m/f and f/f/m as the more common non-f/f ships variety for me.

this is because i prefer women.

[aeondeug]

it's one of the things i find fun if occasionally frustrating about tumblr.

[aeondeug]

also it's funny when people are like "think about hannigram has done for tumblr" and i just. hardly ever see shit for it. i've seen random lesbians from mobile phone games i've never played more often than i have hannigram. because i largely have curated my experience to be lesbians and furry bara.

that post has reminded me of the BITCHING some people got up to because f/f edeleth far outweighed the existence of f/m edeleth the world over. like the MOMENT that an f/f ship is getting the priority a subset of people get upset because suddenly things are not about them.

reblog if you prioritize women to the point you mock people for liking m/f or m/m ships. im insane

#it's such a known fact that i prioritize women and sapphic romance in fiction #that people have told me 'if he was a woman you'd like him' fairly regularly #and if people want me to look at their favorite piece of media and there is something that can be construed as yuri #they will lead with that

shout out to lesbians whose gender is also lesbian

lesbians for whom the only way to describe yourself is lesbian or butch or femme or stud or dyke, for whom you don't identify as a woman but do identify as a lesbian.

i see you, and I understand, and i assure you we are exquisite

❤️🧡🤍🩷💖
