absolutely miserable experience that Some Fucking Guy would set up shop yelling at students here on campus with one of those big signs listing all the people that are going to hell, like homosexuals and "darwinists" and "dirty dancers". completely humiliating that he would point at students and scream wild assumptions about their orientation, their std status, the appearance of their genitalia, etc. BUT. it's incredibly heartwarming that it only took one or two outbursts for a HUGE crowd of students to gather around in solidarity with each other, laugh at him, play music over him, and wave a huge pride flag AND a jolly roger flag over his head while several women started making out with each other. and as i was walking away to get a bite to eat with my friends, we passed by even more people asking us "is that asshole still out there yammering? i wanna give him a piece of my mind!" THAT'S what it's all about. no matter how much hate and anger there is in this world, there's always going to be kind, warm, helpful people who outnumber it, and who may just need a little encouragement to plant their feet and reach out to each other in the face of the blistering hatred.

Best Underrated Anime Group H Round 2: #H7 vs #H3
#H7: Isekai subversion, now with more women and good writing.
#H3: Two guys time-travel through photos. Depression ensues.
Details and poll under the cut!
Tumblr media
#H7: The Executioner and Her Way of Life (Shokei Shoujo no Virgin Road)
youtube
Summary:
Average student Mitsuki Mutou suddenly finds himself transported to another realm. Summoned by the king of this world for the remarkable power he is supposed to possess, Mitsuki is thrown out when it appears that he lacks a Special Concept. Moping about, he encounters a priestess named Menou who explains that Japanese people like him are known as Lost Ones, and such individuals never fail to have Special Concepts.
Menou elaborates that she is part of a church that helps abandoned Lost Ones integrate into society. She invites him to spend the night at her church, where the two can probe the nature of his ability. Eventually, they discover that Mitsuki's Special Concept is actually incredibly powerful and dangerous.
But is Menou's true goal to assist Lost Ones—or the opposite?
Propaganda 1:
An isekai that forgoes the usual tropes and exceedingly dull, whitebread protagonist in favor of a cast consisting more or less exclusively of varying flavors of deranged lesbians.
As a bonus, a certain scene halfway through the first episode made a lot of the worst parts of the anime community SO mad, and I feel like that’s worth something in and of itself.
Propaganda 2:
An isekai subversion that doesn’t feel like it’s subversive for the sake of being trendy! All of its unique parts have lore to explain them, and the world building of the series is super intriguing. The power mechanics are well-thought-out, and the fighting is unique and beautifully animated! Another strong part is the character relationships; I love the various dynamics between the main cast, and I love how none of them are reduced to mere tropes, as anime loves to do with its women. It’s also very funny, and the protagonist is one of my favorites <3333
Trigger Warnings: Child Abuse, Graphic Depictions of Cruelty/Violence/Gore, Suicide. Suicide is basically a deuteragonist’s goal, but it isn’t shown.
Tumblr media
#H3: Link Click (Shiguang Dailiren)
Summary:
Best friends, roommates, and business partners Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang run a photo studio, developing pictures and the like. But that’s not all they do. The Shiguang Photo Studio has a secret extra service—they can deliver messages you never got to send and find information you never got to learn, so long as you bring a photograph, or maybe several.
Their method? A clap of the hands, and Cheng Xiaoshi dives into the past and into the body of the photographer. Guided by Lu Guang, he has twelve hours to achieve his goal, whether that is finding a secret, saying goodbye, or winning a fight.
Assisted by their friend and landlady Qiao Ling, the duo navigates a gallery of corporate lies, interpersonal drama, old regrets, and crime. In the second season, threads that began in the first episode of season one continues, showcasing the same level of brilliant writing and even higher stakes for our beloved characters.
Propaganda:
“Past or future, just let them be” is a message that is repeated throughout the show. At first, you’d think it’s just a matter of course, but after enough times of hearing it, it becomes depressing.
How can Cheng Xiaoshi be indifferent when he can feel the emotions of the person he’s possessing? When their pain becomes his pain as well? And so what if the person before him is already dead? At this moment, their hands feel so warm and alive.
This is where Lu Guang comes in. While Cheng Xiaoshi is the empathic and reckless type, Lu Guang is the cold and rational type. They balance each other out, and when they have conflicts, they face it maturely. They also care for each other so so much that the moment the other is in danger, all their principles get thrown out the window just to ensure the other person’s safety.
In s1, we watch them take on their clients’ orders. Through this, the show’s beauty is revealed: Simplicity and Sincerity.
Simplicity, because for a time-travel show, you’d expect the tasks to involve the fate of the world or something, but no. All the people Cheng Xiaoshi have dived into have been your everyday person—an office woman who gets harassed at work, a restaurant owner who’s grown estranged from her best friend, a man who wants to gain the approval of his girlfriend’s family, etc. Even when the stakes go high in s2, the core of the conflicts still lie in the character’s personal problems—which may seem small in the grand scheme of things, but they are not any less important. And I think this is nice. It’s hard to relate to grand plots, but it’s easy to relate to the day-to-day struggles that humans face.
Then Sincerity, because every single character is treated with care. Even characters you’ll never see again past their arcs manage to be impactful and unforgettable. They’ll claw their way into your heart and just stay there. I’ve rewatched s1 three times, but I still cry every time it reaches the basketball arc 😭. Then in s2, even the antagonists will grab for their share of your tears.
And you begin to question—Should they really just let the past or future be? If changing the past could save someone, is it really that bad?
The answer revealed in the s2 finale was so shocking that #link click trended for the first time ever on Tumblr after the episode aired, which is a feat in itself, considering how small the fandom is.
It has great animation, too. I especially love the 360° shots in some key scenes in s2 for they really amped up the tension. The fight scenes are also well-choreographed.
And all the music are bangers! S1 opening makes you wanna learn finger tutting, while the s2 opening is a masterpiece that leaves you in awe. (The s2 second chorus is just the first chorus played in reverse, making it sound like time is being rewinded. Fucking genius!)
If you still don’t watch Link Click after reading this, then you’ll be missing out in one of the greatest animated shows of all time. Just do yourself a favor and watch it already.
Trigger Warnings:
S1: Flashing lights in the opening, attempted and implied sexual harassment, slight panic attack, death, kidnapping, drugging, suicide, blood. Complete list of TW’s for s1 can be found here (it may be spoilery)
S2: Fast-changing images in the opening, domestic abuse, child abuse, emotional abuse, violence, blood, murder.

Marble Sculpture group, Orvieto Cathedral, ITALY. Ippolito Scalza (1532 - 1617), "PIETÀ" (1570 - 1579) the work inspired by Michelangelo's Pietà, was sculpted from a single block of marble and was completed after nine years of work.
The sculptural group represents Christ lifeless, just come down from cross and lying on the lap of the Virgin Mary, behind them Nicodemus with the face tilted towards the figure of Jesus and finally on the right kneeling Magdalena with her face leaning on the hand of Christ.

A fresh start (1) - Support Group memories
Tumblr media
Summary: The world is safe. Thanos is gone. What now?
Written for my 16.666 followers celebration. Requested by @elle14-blog1​
Pairing: Pre-Endgame!Steve Rogers x Plussized!Reader
Warnings: angst, language, shy reader, plus-sized reader, mentions of loss of loved ones, support group, meet cute
A/N: This part takes place in the past. It’s how they met and a short prologue.
A fresh start masterlist
16.666 followers ‘16 days of requests’ celebration
Tumblr media
Two years after the blip, support group meeting, …
“Welcome to our support group,” you shyly glanced up at the tall man holding out his hand. “I have never seen your face here before. Do you want to have a seat? We got tea and some cookies. I think Cherice will bring cake today.”
“I-uh,” you tried to swallow the lump in your throat. “Hi, I’m Y/N. I heard about this group. I thought…maybe I can support you too. I got a bakery across the street and made some cupcakes.”
You pushed the box filled with cupcakes into his hands. “I got cupcakes and some cookies. I know from my granny that people get hungry after talking. I mean…she was…Everyone came to my granny with their problems. She always had an open ear for them. Now she’s gone…”
“I’m sorry to hear, Y/N,” he softly said. “I wish we could’ve done more.”
“OH! No…no,” you shook your head. “My granny didn’t get dusted.” You gave Steve a weak smile. “She died a few weeks before all of this happened. At least I can visit her grave. I can talk to her and…” You sighed deeply. “I came here because I want to help. My granny would’ve done the same.”
“I’m Steve and we gladly have you around, Y/N. Do you want to help me with the chairs? The others aren’t here yet.”
“O-kay,” you looked the man up and down. He was a tall and handsome man, with his blue eyes, pink and plump lips, and the thick bead framing his face. He reminded you of someone, but this couldn’t be. Or could it?
“Great.”
“Do I know you?” you asked before you could stop your tongue. “Sorry, it’s just you remind me of someone but I’m bad at memorizing names.”
“Guilty,” he laughed nervously. 
“It is really you?” you gasped. “Captain…thank you for your service.” Without thinking twice, you hugged Steve, holding him tightly. “Sorry…it’s just…we all saw the pictures and you fought so hard for all of us. So…thank you.”
God, you felt so stupid. How could you just pounce on Steve Rogers? Captain America in flesh and blood. 
“It’s fine,” he softly said while running his hand over your head. “No one thanked me for failing them. I let the world down.”
“Captain, you didn’t fail us,” you hastily said. “You and your friends fought so hard.” You teared up. “We all lose sometimes. It’s just the way this world works. Sometimes you win, other times you lose.”
He smiled. Steve didn’t know how long it has been since he smiled. But right there, in this very moment, it felt right to smile.
“Still, I wasn’t strong enough.”
“I’m sorry,” you said. “I didn’t want to make you sad.”
“No, you—” looking at each other, like you are the only two people you didn’t recognize the room filled with the members of Steve’s support group.
“OH! We forgot about the chairs, Steve.”
The spell was broken when you turned around to help the others with the chairs. Steve watched you for a moment, a content smile on his lips.
Tumblr media
“Please welcome Y/N, our newest member,” Steve introduced you to his support group. “She lost her grandmother before the snap. Y/N was kind enough to bring us cupcakes and to offer her support.”
“I remember your grandmother,” Semira, your former neighbor’s daughter said. You remember the cocky girl too. She always listened to the same song and sang along. “She was kind. Always was there for us.”
“She liked you too, Semira,” you whispered. You always were a little shy around too many people, or in general. But at that moment, with everyone staring at you, including Captain America, you felt even more nervous. “Granny was the heart of Brooklyn.”
“Do you want to talk about your grandmother, Y/N?” Steve asked. “Whatever you tell us will stay within these walls.”
“I only came here to help. You all lost so much more,” you dropped your gaze. “Please continue. I’ll get more tea and coffee for all of you.”
Tumblr media
After the other members of the support group left, you and Steve cleaned the room for the next group.
“If you want to, you can tell us more about your grandmother next time,” Steve broke the comfortable silence.
“It’s fine,” you gave him a weak smile. “This is a support group for survivors who lost their loved ones in the blip.”
“We support everyone,” he looked down at you, features softening as he could see the hesitation in your eyes. “Or we can talk after the meeting if you want to, doll.”
Your cheeks heated up at the cute nickname. “I don’t want to waste your time. You already do so much. This world is…different now. Colder. Harder. You are a light in the darkness.”
He smiled. Again. For the third time that day.
“I lost my two best friends in the blip and Tony…we don’t know what happened to him. Maybe he got dusted too. I don’t know.”
“I’m sorry,” you grasped for his hands. “You lost so much and yet; you blame yourself for a fight all of us lost. Not only you.”
“Doll, it was my fault. I failed all of you.”
His eyes dropped to your hands holding his so larger ones.
“Maybe you need to take your own advice and talk about your feelings more. You listened to all of them but didn’t give away what’s hurting your heart.”
“Maybe you can listen to me from now on?” he asked, making your heart flutter. “I know we barely know each other. But I can talk to you better than to the people I know for so many years.”
You chewed on your lower lip. “If you want to, you can visit me at my bakery. I live upstairs.”
“I’d like that,” he said, offering you another smile.
After that day Steve and you became friends.
He often visited you at your bakery and you joined him at the meetings. If only to support the members and your friend.
You talked for hours after the meetings, sharing your feelings. Steve was a constant in your life for almost three years.
Until one day he said something making you fear for his life.
“We know how to undo the blip…”

Mera MERA you're the only one who get me. Riddle's beach outfit??? RIDDLE BEACH OUTFIT????? HOT GIRL SUMMER????PLS when I saw the exposed stomach I was immediately like "ahahah...what if...what if I were to grind on it...AHAHAH Jk jk...........unless👀"
YES OMG OTL hot girl summer Riddle is something I never thought I’d see in canon, yet we are here and it’s wonderful!!! Grinding on his tummy or even running your hands over it, teasing his navel, complimenting him for how good he looks in that outfit even if he’s against showing so much skin. <3 he may think it’s against the rules and very unbecoming, but you think he’s the most attractive one on this beach, and when Riddle hears you say that it’s hard for him to think otherwise. Maybe it’s fine to show a little skin for the sake of this vacation—so he doesn’t get hot in non-summer clothes, he insists! After all, there aren’t many rules one must follow when on vacation. :)

the fact that ade genuinely loves punk music and apparently changed his "formerly 'straight'" style and bought "tight, striped ‘punk-style’ trousers" at the same time when lise, rik and ben were writing tyo (according to alexei sayle's autobio) is so cute to me for some reason… like rik (with lise and ben) wrote that character sooo tailor made and perfect for his best friend to play

Best Underrated Anime Group H Round 3: #H4 vs #H7
#H4: Teen Shogi prodigy grows up and battles his mental health
#H7: Isekai subversion, now with more women and good writing
Details and poll under the cut!
Tumblr media
#H4: March Comes in Like a Lion (Sangatsu no Lion)
youtube
Summary:
Having reached professional status in middle school, Rei Kiriyama is one of the few elite in the world of shogi. Due to this, he faces an enormous amount of pressure, both from the shogi community and his adoptive family. Seeking independence from his tense home life, he moves into an apartment in Tokyo. As a 17-year-old living on his own, Rei tends to take poor care of himself, and his reclusive personality ostracizes him from his peers in school and at the shogi hall.
However, not long after his arrival in Tokyo, Rei meets Akari, Hinata, and Momo Kawamoto, a trio of sisters living with their grandfather who owns a traditional wagashi shop. Akari, the oldest of the three girls, is determined to combat Rei's loneliness and poorly sustained lifestyle with motherly hospitality. The Kawamoto sisters, coping with past tragedies, also share with Rei a unique familial bond that he has lacked for most of his life. As he struggles to maintain himself physically and mentally through his shogi career, Rei must learn how to interact with others and understand his own complex emotions.
Propaganda:
Sangatsu no Lion is a series that gets praise and has some awards, but it gets rarely talked about. It’s ranked highly on anime lists as being a good anime to watch, but there’s little fan engagement or video essays about it like other promising titles.
Maybe it's because the series is a slow-paced slice-of-life drama that goes over topics like mental health and the trauma of losing loved ones at a young age, and how those factors impacts the lead deeply.
Rei is a hard character to watch sometimes. He’s a doormat, shy and quiet, with crippling low self-esteem. He’s a social outcast. He puts a lot of burden on his own shoulders and blames himself for living up to people’s expectations. He’s a flawed and traumatized teenager forced to grow up too quickly.
Rei lives isolated, and that's how we're introduced to him. He has a strained relationship with his adoptive family. He has trouble interacting with his classmates. He has a few tentative friendships with the people he plays Shogi against, but Rei struggles to connect with others. It doesn't help that he feels pressured by the expectations placed on him as the fifth ever Shogi player to go pro in middle school, making him a prodigy. He's losing multiple matches and stagnating, struggling because of his mental health taking a downward spiral.
When Rei meets the Kawamoto girls, his life seems to get better. Rei initially doesn't want to get to close to the Kawamoto family for fear of rejection, but he ends up visiting often. With them, he receives the care and affection he never had in his foster home. He also learns to socialize and rely on others with his interactions with the Kawamotos, growing as a person.
Trigger Warnings: Child Abuse, Mild child neglect from adopted family, death of birth family, healing from mental health issues.
The plot revolves around Rei and him trying to cope with the stress of life and growing as a person. A part of this is him having to make peace with the trauma of losing his biological family and having a strained relationship with his adoptive family, who are neglectful and bitter towards him. The anime overall goes over Rei healing from his mental health issues, including battling his anxiety and issues with self-worth.
