s3 kaizo and glx kaizo are two different beings
damn right they are but its still so disappointing knowing what we lost in terms of fanservice but gained in terms of questionable redemption fuel that (surprise, surprise) never got used (,,,yet, anyway, but monsta takin their sweet time with that reconciliation arc in the comic)
from a simp/fanservice standpoint s3 kaizo easily takes the cake: he has this self-assured energy that makes him really feel like he owns whatever room he walks into even if his purpose is to get high off torturing kids, and monsta went and hired the most smooth seductive voice artist possible just to amp up his desirability by 1000%, and the animation just gave him these really over the top dramatic movements that could bring any fangirl to her knees. galaxy kaizo just. isnt it. ok :"3
from a lore standpoint ill say theyre both about equal but painfully inconsistent which is where the s3 kaizo =/= glx kaizo really hits home because s3 has a very 'space rebel does what he wants' kind of mindset which is very intriguing and has a lot of room to explore his backstory and why hes Like That but then its all retconned in galaxy where glx kaizo is part of tapops and literally working under the orders of someone else which is just so ooc? lahap is never mentioned again and instead we get hints of history with manramen who is ALSO never mentioned again except for trivia and cameo purposes.
backstory comic is a mixed bag because you can reasonably connect younger!kaizo's behaviour with either of his 'future' iterations BUT NOT BOTH like ok fine he lost his parents he trained under maskmana and then PRESUMABLY defected and decided to go solo that could make sense yk like hes been disillusioned by the system and takes out his unprocessed trauma on fang and projects his control issues onto him ILL BUY THAT OR he really did train under maskmana and joined the tapops/tempur-a alliance organization where he works for the higher ups and fang later trains under them too BUT you cant have both it jsut doesnt make sense its like two alternate universes where this orphan with a younger brother becomes a (problematic)hero or a villain
and of course from a kaizo and fang dynamic standpoint which is imo the most relevant given that fang is actually part of the main cast and kaizo ISNT: s3 kaizo is absolutely beyond the point of redemption. the only option is for fang to cut ties with him either subvertly where he distances himself enough for it to not matter, or directly where he snaps and lashes out at his abuser. galaxy kaizo, on the other hand, has the aforementioned redemption fuel where there is a chance for him to patch things up with fang because of implications that both sides still care and have concern for each other deep down. HE HAS A CHANCE but hes taking a painfully long time to use it and honestly im not even sure if i trust monsta to do that job right so i guess we're left at this crossroads where things could go in any direction from here. are they gonna keep being awkward about things till they eventually drift apart? is fang gonna keep letting himself be broken down by kaizos neglect till it affects him in another area of life? is fang finally gonna snap and assert his own rights and needs???? literally who knows </3
sorry this got long but u know me i see 'kaizo' and immediately go off aDFBJAFBJALJAL but anyway yes youre absolutely right and i will die on this hill

OKAY SO
I have been hit by a sudden surge of feelings about how Disney Canon did Dathomir dirty in the otherwise pretty stellar Clone Wars and then continued the same trend onwards from there and now I must rant a bit.
So if you don’t want to deal with that or don’t care then scroll on past cause I’m about to get into it big time.
(got long so here’s a cut)
Dathomir was first introduced in the Star Wars: Expanded Universe novel ‘The Courtship of Princess Leia’ by David Wolverton.  Now, looked at through a modern lense the book is full of huge issues regarding consent, agency, and feminism in general.  But it still gave us two matriarchal ruling styles in the forms of the Force Witches of Dathomir and the Queen Mother of Hapes (Ta’a Chume is a bitch, but I’m not here to talk about her today).  Now both of those human-ish races have their own issues stemming from masculine fear of how women would rule the world or whatever I guess.  That’s my read on it even though like, god there’s no binary there in the first place but it was 1995 so like...different time different subtext I guess.
ANYWAY.  My point isn’t all the bullshit in there like Han kidnapping Leia cause he’s threatened by this prince guy showing up and basically offering the rulership of 64 planets to her in order to get the Hapes Consortium to join the Republic (tho can we say YIKES?).  I’m here today to talk about what Disney could have done with Dathomir when they brought it back in Clone Wars verses what they did do.
So Dathomir, a ‘primitive’ planet that in original canon was kind of the place people sent people to never be seen again.  Specifically, the Jedi of the Old Republic banished a rogue Jedi named Allya there who gathered survivors of those exiled peoples and began to teach them about the Force.  This is where the Force Witch traditions originated.  In Wolverton’s introduction the witches have enslaved the male populations, likely supposed to be a mirror of certain older patriarchal civilizations in the real world.  It wasn’t great, but there was still gold to be dug out of it all if you were willing to look.  The Force Witches of Dathomir were intensely connected with nature, especially the Rancors who were their mounts and companions.  The Witches weren’t evil, they served a certain balance and goodness within the bounds of their own society.  So they were opposed by the Night Sisters, members of their own tribes who had pursued power above all else and were disfigured from it and so cast out from their communities.
Night Sisters were the only part of Dathomir that Disney seemed content to keep.  They could have reworked the Force Witch angle, gotten rid of some of the cringier 90s themes and really had an example of a powerful, good, matriarchal people.  Instead they decided all the people of Dathomir, indeed the planet and the creatures themselves, were steeped in the dark side.  They turned a beautiful, vibrant, natural world into one of dark fog and unforgiving wasteland.  They did Dathomir dirty, and I don’t think I’ll ever get over that.

How many barbie movies have you watched and which one is your favourite?
That’s my way of choosing a friend btw so no pressure /j
21 cause i quit keeping up in 2012 and i missed some classics i kNOW but omg how dare u make me choose
I think it comes down to 12 dancing princesses, diamond castle, 3 musketeers, and princess charm school. I cannot choose between them bc I have watched all of them multiple times and they made me who i am today so <333

i love it when you talk about kaizo I dont dislike nor like him because I secretly kin him /neg [not my proudest moment I hate his ass but also it hurts seeing myself in him] but the difference is just that he's undeniably hot while i'm not
i wasnt about to shut up about him anytime soon but omg thank u for enabling me im glad u enjoy my nonsense <3333
huh that is a Concept bc i kin kaizo but in a very 'im gonna psychoanalyse the heck out of this lil lab rat' way but also 'hes swag as hell' way and i think ppl forget i kin him at all bc im usually just roasting or simping for him but thats exactly why i kin him :33
if its /neg for u tho thats understandable <//3 i know a friend who absolutely despises kaizo bc she sees herself in his problematic behaviour which sucks but also lets her just project all of that hatred towards a fictional character instead of @ herself so i mean whatever works ig :'3
ayo anon i am prescribing u a heavy dose of s3 kaizo kinnie bc if he can act like hes hot shit while getting high off torturing children then yOU can convince urself that u are swag and sekc too!! without relying on child abuse to buff ur ego <33
thank u for enabling me anon i hope you mean what u say bc im only getting more annoying from here on out <33

why bagged milk is a bad idea
so some of yall might know that i recently moved from Yeehaw Midwestern Maplesyrupland to Bagged Milk Much People Maplesyrupland which is infamous for selling milk in bags no i am not making this up
Tumblr media Tumblr media
this thing has 3 plastic BAGS of milk inside it so naturally one would ask HOW DOES ONE EVEN USE THIS MILK
Tumblr media
well ya see ya toss it in a jug and snip the corner and voila rEADY TO POUR
except NO its a TERRIBLE idea like from a practical point of view WHOSE IDEA WAS THIS??
1. do you have any idea how FRAGILE the plastic is like i could accidentally drop this on the way from the car to the kitchen and boom SpiLT MILK ALL OVER THE FLOOR
2. WHEN YOU CUT THE CORNER ITS LITERALLY LEFT THERE EXPOSED TO THE ELEMENTS IN YOUR REFRIGERATOR uNLESS U USE THE WHOLE BAG IN ONE GO like how unsanitary is that THERES NO CAP OR LID OR ANYTHING TO SEAL IT ITS GROSS
3. ITS SO EASY TO SPILL like this pathetic wibbly wobbly bAG in a jug needs BOTH HANDS to pour unless u want the plastic to buckle and send your milk all over the counter
4. WHY DO I HAVE TO OWN A PAIR OF SCISSORS AND A JUG JUST TO USE THE MILK LIKE WHAT I JUST WANT MY MILK I DONT NEED A WHOLE “some assembly required” IN ALBERTA WE JUST TWIST THE CAp AND ITS ALL G WHAT IS THIS SMH
5. THEYRE NOT EVEN RECYCLABLE like i noticed ontario doesnt actually Have a bottle recycle program :0 which is Unfortunate like in aLBERTA you actually pay a small fee for every bottle/jug you buy and then you get the money back if you take the empty thing to the bottle depot so it can be RECYCLED but HERE theres nothing like that ALL THIS PLASTIC GOES INTO THE LNADFILL OMG
conclusion: bagged milk is extremely stupid pls get rid of it thanks

every time i see someone commenting on a hijabi about how attractive they look i lose 10 brain cells
the literal purpose of hijab was to stop creepy men from Checking Out women because covering themselves would give those creepy men nothing to look at
the cloth isnt a fashion statement its a reminder that ‘nothing to see here please look away’ but go off about how pReTtY they are or whatever

not to reiterate my ‘twitter is the bane of critical thinking’ sentiment but the system of restricting post content by character limit and thread continuations only being accessible via extra clicks really butchers any of the nuance in arguments and thats why you end up with the kind of wildly reductionist discourse that honestly gets really draining
like here on tumblr its common to have customarily tagged ‘#long post’s which serves as nothing but acknowledgement cause im sure no one actually filters that tag anyway and it doesnt appear until the very end of a post
and so you read through these giant reblog chains of discussion and clarification and by the end you have - if nothing else - a wider perception of the issue at hand
meanwhile on twitter all you get a little blurb of flash information with little to no clarification or insight directly presented, so all you have to  base your perception of X issue is this one tweet
it just concerns me that the younger generation getting their information from twitter is subject to this method of education cause instead of developing the ability to think critically and explore nuance, they see one (1) fraction of an issue and immediately take a position based on that
anyway twitter is the bane of critical thinking <3

call me a cynic but at some point i realized with a sickening shudder that theres nothing romantic or poetic about d3pr3ssion or su1ci1de and the media has done an Awful job of perpetuating the ‘artsy sad boy’ archetype when no there’s absolutely nothing pretty or artsy or aesthetic about feeling miserable and worthless
mental illness is ugly its shitty and twisted and vile and yeah i romanticized it to cope with how i felt but all that did was make me feel more comfortable with where i was - actually wishing i was ‘more depressed’ so i could ‘validate’ the Depressed Aesthetic (including s3lf h4rm and lemme tell you tHAT fricked me up so badly its sick)
honestly the first step to even attempting recovery was the wake up call that NO this is NOT poetic or aesthetic or ANYTHING to be romanticized it is ABNORMAL and an ILLNESS that needs to be FIXED
dont demonize people who are mentally ill because they didnt ask to feel that way. this archetype of ‘uwu sad boi’ has only led to society not taking mental illness seriously and not recognizing Legitimate mental illness because they assume that being depressed is c^tt1ng and st4rv1ng yourself when it can equally be lashing out at people trying to help you and engaging in other forms of self-destructive behaviour
anyway point is romanticizing Sadness legitimately makes me shudder in disgust and i hate it but also recognize that people use it as a coping mechanism and at this point ive run out of other options available rn and yeah its 2021 so yknow what fakkit time to write Sad Poetry again
