Thing to remember about Cat’s magician theme: while yes, it does imply there’s some stuff that we just won’t get to see due to it being hidden, it’s also hinting at something meant to help us:

Don’t get caught up in any misdirection.

One of the big things about this music video in particular is that there’s a lot of stuff thrown at us really fast and quick, multiple times. A bunch of busy, flashy, dramatic sequences that are sure to draw most people’s eye and theorycrafting!

But, just as a magician uses their skills to get the audience to look away from the actual trick that they’re pulling, Kazui is subconsciously pulling the same stuff on us. Like, just in considering what one of the slower sections of Cat showed us:

People have already pointed out that the guy in the wedding audience is the same man who was bartending in Half. But I think there’s even a bit more past that that Kazui’s given to us as context. Which is to say: Consider the ring on his finger and the woman behind him.

Know what other woman in Kazui’s videos we’ve seen who has brown hair and been right next to this man?

Which actually puts the bar scene from Half into a completely different context.

The picture above wasn’t Kazui cheating on his wife: it was him getting to know the woman his childhood friend was going to marry. 

By having their meeting in a casual setting, with both Kazui and her sitting right up next to the bar where the guy was working, all three of them would get to talk and hang out when things weren’t too busy. And when things did get busy, Kazui and this man’s future bride would be easy to check up on via a quick look down the bar counter, with alcohol as an added social relaxant so things would hopefully never get too tense and awkward. With all this in mind, I think it’s really important we consider the art of misdirection when looking through the rest of Kazui’s Cat video: If our attention is being drawn to something in particular, look at everything else first.  That’s gonna be how we crack through Kazui’s shell and get to the truth.

#MILGRAM #MILGRAM project #kazui mukuhara #kazui milgram #like with both the magician AND the Mafritte references being pointed out to us #it seems clear that we're supposed to give EVERYTHING in Cat a double glance and a closer look #but especially the less flashy moments in particular #as those are the places where Kazui's subconscious isn't putting up as much of an active effort to mislead us #have I mentioned i find kazui relatable? 'cause i find him relatable #not so much the 'hiding being queer' part #(I wear that part of myself pretty blatantly) #but more the 'i want people to understand my mindset without having to spell everything out for them' part #because HOO BOY is that an eternal dilemma when you feel the need to wear five bajillion masks to make things move smoothly

Kalina is the most interesting character to me because of all she has going on…

she is Cassandra’s familiar, she is simultaneously a pet and a friend and a servant and a family to a goddexx that is simultaneously her owner and friend and creator and parent and her god and reason to be—Kalina’s relationship to Cassandra is hard to put a name or label on (since what does being a familiar even mean?) but the bottomline is that this cat loves her deity enough to put everything and everyone on the line for her…

And adding in that she is a child of divorce. So to speak. I am extremely normal and haven’t been driven mad by the detail that baby itty bitty kitty Kalina was at Cassandra’s wedding to Ankarna and is remembered to have been toddling after her as she walked down the aisle…

Kalina will be the death of me /lh

#fhjy spoilers #fantasy high junior year #kalina #oh my god and the fact Kalina was there at that wedding—there at the period of time where Ankarna was alive and still a known god and not #presumed dead… this makes the Sylvairean Heresy even WORSE of a life event for Kalina and Cassandra… #the existence of baby kalina implies that Cassandra *raised* Kalina… and the fact they were married means that Kalina wouldn’t have been #raised by only Cassandra but *also* Ankarna. #you are Kalina and one of your parents just was killed by your uncle—their domains were too alike—and you can never talk about them again. #you can never speak their name—share in their memory—the only place they exist is quietly in your memories that must go unspoken due to #Oblivata Mori. And there’s nothing you can do about it… #And then the followers and clerics of your remaining parent start trying to kill her—being mislead by the followers of your goddexx’ sister #Cassandra is the only family Kalina has left—and Kalina’s sentience leds me to think she agreed to become a Curse #kalina let herself be unmade and changed to keep Cassandra alive… and even as the shell of herself—a familiar once but now a living plague— #is so deeply loyal and only interested in what is to the benefit of her *everything*… even if they are currently a Walking Corpse. #Kalina dislike Kristen so much because Kristen is just not being a good cleric and is in the precarious spot of being Cassandra’s only #follower… but ultimately won’t harm or attack Kristen—killing herself first—because Kristen is the only one keeping Cassandra uncorrupted. #yeah im crazy about the relationship and history between a cat familiar and her witch goddess and the layers of their relationship

While I do think the internet has the unique opportunity to amplify brain-poisoning, I wish discourse wasn’t so heavily split into “online vs irl” when it’s much more an issue of…exclusionary politics and idpol hierarchy brainrot.

“This doesn’t happen offline” the problem is, it does. Because people who captain themselves the arbiter of validity on tumblr dot org are possibly also going to be a self-righteous dorkass at your DEI training, or when organizing lesbian night at the bar, or being president of a queer org on campus, or running LGBT orgs people rely on for survival. Many of the most exclusionary queer spaces were made offline first. Offline spaces organized by young folks from online spaces with no grasp of offline history are going to be just as rife with “terminally online” takes as any website.

Your local steel mill line is both likely to be violently homophobic out of bigoted ignorance AND supremely immune to microidentity politics because it means absolutely nothing to Joe Factory, who will shrug and go “hey man whatever makes you happy.”

Your liberal arts college is both likely to be aware of the niche politics of queer identity and will have heard of and be welcoming to your set of neopronouns AND will find new and cruel ways to be bigoted while smiling in your face because their flavor of queer is celebrated by the city mayor and so LGBT-phobia (please don’t say q***r) ended with marriage equality.

LGBT community that refuses intersectional lenses will always be rife with bigotry, both directed at minorities within this space and indirectly hitting people they think belong (ie assigning masculinity to Black queer women due to racism but then also exhibiting butchphobia/antimasculism at all masculine women, man-hating directed at cis men to “punch up” being weaponized against trans folks, etc)

Cishet society is still not safe for LGBT people, but has gotten better in some areas and worse in others as visibility has increased. Which means micro-infighting potentially is a non-issue in a space that is tolerant to other (more visible) forms of queerness, AND if there is a problem there with family friendly gays and lesbians then they will absolutely take issue with polyam genderfluid aces.

“In real life” has near nothing to do with it. If your space, online or in real life, is neither radically intentionally inclusive or tolerantly indifferent it’s gonna be bigoted—intentionally or not, queer or not.

#LJsm #‘this doesn’t happen irl’ #elder trans woman at the potluck called herself transsexual and young trans guys pitched a fit #elder trans man at a picnic asked why bother with bottom surgeries that weren’t phallo since #‘everyone’s goal is to look cis’ #he got chewed out by younger trans guys #went to a lesbian night at a bar that flipped shit over bisexuals being there #know a trans woman who speaks at terf events shitting on trans people #also idk if people forgot but you can still very much get murdered irl #like online has so many issues but that doesn’t make offline easy either—especially for folks who cannot even be out as mainstream queers #and none of this is to say ‘oh online is way safer than offline’ #just that the split is misleading because it has less to do with where the space is and more what are the values/goals/tone of the space

Just posting this for the ppl who LOVE to push the FANON narrative that Jason and Percy aren't close friends as CANON. Grover is listed as Percy's main best friend (along with Annabeth ofc but she remains in the girlfriend category) and Jason comes literally SECOND in the Official Riordan wiki fanpage, and he's even labelled as "one of percy's best friends" not just "friend" or "close friend" like the others.

I don't get why people deny this SO bad like- pls let the almost nonexistent rivalry they both had (which is mostly between Jason and Percy fans) stay fanon.

"Jason and Percy are just co workers, barely even friends" Yup. Sure. I was so mislead by this narrative before I picked up HOO and was pleasantly surprised by how genuine percy and jason's friendship was in the books.. I half expected them both to ignore eachother or something throughout the scenes with how much the fandom exaggerated their rivalry/coldness with eachother.

Fanon is awesome. But it's not when you push it as canon. Let them be two seperate things please.

#Also with the whole “Leo and Percy are much closer than Jason and Percy” narrative is pretty popular aswell simply bc they're both goofy. #Leo and Percy are GOOD friends but claiming that they were closer than Jason/Percy is just wishful thinking at best imo. #Leo had resented percy up until boo (which is neither of their faults. Mind you) #They made up. But it wasn't enough for them to become like best buddy buddies. Leo went missing before that. #So they didn't have the opportunity to bond as well. #And that's OKAY. We always have fanon to enjoy. #I just wish people stop mixing fanon and canon together and claim it as fully canon. #It could be a tad misleading. And ppl would be disappointed that the same fanon isnt incorporated into the books. #I was subjected to so much fanon influence before I picked up hoo. The leo/percy 'best friend' agenda was one of them. #the best friend agenda in the books was not matching the same energy as it did when pjo fans described it. So It was heavily underwhelming. #I honestly hope these tags don't offend anyone (esp Leo/Percy best friend enthusiasts) #Im merely pointing out what I observed from the books vs the fandom's exaggeration #but they were not as cln #pjo #pjo fandom #percy jackson #pjo hoo #jason grace #pjo series #annabeth chase #pjo hoo toa #leo valdez #piper mclean #frank zhang #hazel levesque #nico di angelo

jsyk user genderyomi reblogs from ppl identyfing as baeddel/“transman-hater” (w their words). safe to assume she is one.

i do appreciate well meaning calling me out on shit i've reposted and whatnot but that does not to my mind warrant any kind of unfollow/deleting posts what have you

i have been seeing traces of this new wave is 'transmisandry a real thing/is baeddelism real and if it is is it actually a bad thing or kinda based' flooding my dash lately and have very deliberately stayed away from engaging in any of it/weighing up on one side or another.

thankyou for engaging here though in a more polite way!

#my take: i love trans people so so much and if the dolls are pissed off at men maybe they have a right to be #but also yes (many) trans men experience a transphobia that takes a specific shape in how it targets trans men #but referring to that as transmisandry is at best misleading misnomer #because it might implies misandry is a thing or that the transphobia men face is proportional and equalivalent to transmisogyny #buuuut also i am not such a fan of arguing tight semantics like that in intracommunity stuff #partly cos how it kinda tries to assume everyone is highly literate in english? #but also i do not have the capacity to look up what baedellism actually argues rn #also hot take if someone's blog says shit like 'man-hater' it's gonna be like hyperbole or glib 60% of the time #and a fair reaction to their own experiences 39%

The true context of the “I’m not THEM” quote from the Season 3 trailer

Omega, Crosshair, and Tech have all escaped and they’re at the store waiting for Hunter and the rest to pick them up. Tech is off trying to find some new glasses.

Omega: Can we get this Mantell Mix? Please?

Crosshair: No.

Omega: The others would have gotten me Mantell Mix

Crosshair: WELL I’M NOT THEM

And then Hunter and the gang come and get them and they’re a family again and we don’t have to see them get hurt anymore.
