Y'all, I've had an amazing thought.

I said a while back that the Medicine Seller's alter could be a manifestation of his connection with humans, since his alter is the form that destroys the mononoke, and that power to destroy depends on the Medicine Seller understanding humans.

And as I said in my analysis of Mononoke and feminism, the Medicine Seller's relations with humans occur along a "masculine" to "feminine" axis that's represented by male and female forms, the female/feminine as the creative energy and the male/masculine as the aggressive/destructive. The Medicine Seller's forms mirror the humans'; his usual form is more feminine and his "destroyer" form is more masculine.

But we have every reason to believe that in the movie, the Medicine Seller will be surrounded mostly by women. And instead of the het relationships that are central to almost all of the Mononoke stories, there's (I say) a fair amount of evidence that we'll have a lesbian relationship. So, two sets of "masculine" and "feminine" energies, but both in female forms, no external differentiation.

And if that's true, and the Medicine Seller's alter is male because he mirrors how the "destructive" energy appears around him...

... it's quite possible his new alter form will be a woman.

#mononoke 2007 #kusuriuri #mononoke 2024 #mononoke theory #I could be wrong though those girls could just be big fans of suggestive hand-holding #I mean the medicine seller is always doing gratuitously sexy stuff with his hands #I WOULD REMARK THOUGH that the whole yin-yang thing I was talking about is really about the bond between apparent opposites #and ''polar opposites'' is exactly how the mononoke movie website describes asa and kame #I'd lay cash money these bitches gay

the amount of people on here who think that discussing the immense power that the US and it's proxies like NATO and the EU have on the global stage & acknowledging that we spent the last few decades in a unipolar world that was very much beholden to the US is akin to "american/western centrism" and they think that makes themselves sound very intelligent and informed and progressive and anyone who tries to explain that they're wrong is just dismissed as a "tankie" or whatever. if you aren't going to actually read any of the books or articles people are posting then please just google the word "unipolarity" or "polarity" as a foreign relations term, it can't possibly make things worse for you than they already are

#the thing is even if you read the us foreign policy websites to learn what this term means theyre actually pretty clear about it #because they KNOW what theyre doing and they KNOW the unipolar world doesnt exist anymore and theyre furious about it #or listen to rania khalek dispatches she talks a lot about polarity thats a constant topic on her show #ignore what the twitter idiots are saying and actually read/listen to whats going on from the sources

SO the local bar is having goth prom and I've already bought a dress online, but I want to buy more things in case it doesn't fit right or doesn't work, but I also wanna be careful not to drop like. $100 on clothes on this thing in one week

like over time sure I can spend that much on what barely counts as clothes I can wear in public, but over the course of like...a few days? YEESH. it's so tempting though and I would look so good in it...and it would be an outfit I could wear out again and again

#polar||self #I've been shopping lingerie a lot over the past day or two #I've found so much good stuff that's trans affirming #and also some that isn't but is still good! #a lot of stuff (especially on the more common sites you may have heard of) is REALLY boring #I wish I had friends to run lingerie purchases by #polar||nsft #some websites that aren't outright trans affirming do actually have trans models and collections #also thankfully most of the sites with stuff I like have cheaper pieces #always weird when a clothing website only deals in three digits minimum. sometimes it's nice to window shop them though. #lingerie

...Fuck it, let's complete the trifecta.

We've got BugBear, we just pitched Fang X Whisper...

Bean X Tangle when?

#lea's a dumbass #i'm gonna get nuked off this website at some point lmao #jewel the beetle #bark the polar bear #fang the sniper #whisper the wolf #bean the dynamite #tangle the lemur #i mean... I'm joking on all of these except Bugbear as we know #but simultaneously these all have vibes i can see working #and this is a multishipper safe space i'll consider anything that isn't gross

Reading this AMA of a guy who spent a year working in Antarctica. I want to go so bad. Apparently, they have the same jobs as any small town. Librarians, janitors, cooks, etc. I want to go and work a season down there.

#the guy in the ama even posted the website to the agency that does hiring for some of the jobs #jfksjfjksjrs its funny he said a common job was 'steward' #sigh i can daydream #polar tag

What if I did a pop ballad poll tourney

#i feel like these 'best [decade] song' poll brackets are too unfocused #meanwhile pop ballads are the kind of thing this website at large is familiar with and people have extremely polarized opinions on #///

i feel like people are forgetting nuance in these topic discussions. the guilt-trippy posts circulating are a . choice and lmao people can do whatever they want to feel comfortable in this shared space, but the message also? isn’t? wrong? idk i’m not gonna feel obligated to explain why i’m cutting off a mutual that’s just a mutual i wrote with once or twice, or even embarked in some conversations with on dash or via dms. it’s gonna suck being softblocked / hardblocked without notice and it might confuse or irritate us, but we’ll get over it, because there was no real connection, it doesn’t need to be a whole thing. on the other hand, it shows a complete lack of communication and empathy to cut off somebody we’ve been tight with for a minute without at least something. and it isn’t a violation of boundaries to reach out and ask for some explanation - and an explanation doesn’t need to be a whole ass essay nor does it mean it needs to be a conversation. it’s just better than nothing. this isn’t a job or a community where we gotta write formal apologies or farewell letters or whatever but minimal communication goes a long mf way and this website lacks it, and instead replaces it with hostile hyper-vigilance in the name of curating a safe space (again, nuance matters here lol). we don’t own anyone shit but it costs absolutely nothing to practice basic communication where it matters.

#my thing is i agree with both takes to an extent but y’all are so fucking polarizing on this website #ppl use that circulating post as a way to guilt trip dash and i KNOW bc i’m seeing a number of . nasties reblog it #but going the entirely opposite way isn’t incorrect but it’s just so . ??? robotic #this site lacks the ability to communicate effectively without thinking its confrontation or an invasion of boundaries #and acknowledging that ??? isn’t bad #i’ve also touched on this a while ago but people will actually DESTROY boundaries by acting like ur besties #and saying ily #and acting close #and yet feel like it’s a crime for someone to feel confused about being cut off without warning #if ur gonna practice boundaries do it all the way lol

So you know how Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss characters have their own fake official social medias?

Well, I want that for LMK. It’s a futuristic story, it’s not too far-fetched to assume that almost every character has at least one app!

I want to see Sandy’s YouTube channel dedicated entirely to his cats!

I want to see Pigsy’s extremely long food reviews!

I want to see Tang trying to pay in exposure!

I wanna see Wukong try to post literally anything but then deleting it after 15 minutes because he remembered he’s supposed to be off-the-grid!

I wanna see Macaque’s edgy moon/shadow/mirror posts!

I wanna see Red Son try and post things but just getting bullied off every platform because, well, he’s a major criminal and probably wanted by the government.

I wanna see Syntax specifically being a faceless Roblox streamer and getting memes made with his audio!

The list goes on and on but you get my point. I know it’s probably never gonna happen (at least officially) but like, it’s fun to think about, right?

#honestly i'm not sure how big the overlap is between vivziepop fans and lego monkie kid fans #they've got almost polar opposite target audiences #but from what I've seen of the LMK fandom most of y'all are grown adults at least on this website #lego monkie kid #also mei canonically has a tiktok or something idk so that would be fun to explore #mei is canonically an egirl and would probably become a vtuber

i dont actually want to talk about it but i think you can critique a/3 without saying a repository of art should be deleted and i think you can have that opinion without being a porn addict

#am i happy abt the type of content on the site? no #but also content moderation on that scale is extemely difficult and not often done ethically #i know im on the polarizing website #but its frustrating that either ppl think its the most important thing #(its not) #or that it's evil and ppl who support it are evil #(also not)

I posted my LOV/kid trio hugging drawings to Reddit and all the comments are “I wish they could be redeemed :(“
