I know about Sparkle's.... problematic attitude towards Aventurine.

But Dr. Ratio had a similar attitude towards Aven? Obviously not as bad as Sparkle... I guess he apologized? but it was still a micro aggression towards him...

Idk I guess the fandom decides to ignore that little detail about that Aven/Ratio interaction because yaoi.

#i just finished the first part of penacony #i started this quest excited for the yaoi only to get hit with ratio's micro aggressions #like i get that he technically apologized #but that interaction between leaves a bad taste in my mouth when it comes to this ship #especially since the fandom around it completely ignores it (unlike with sparkle) #hsr #honkai star rail #dr ratio #hsr sparkle #hsr aventurine #aventurine

I think in a more neutral context Eiffel and Maxwell could have been friends. All of Eiffel's friends are weird girls™, and all of Alana’s friends are extremely obnoxious men. It all depends on whether or not Eiffel can resist comparing her to Sheldon from the Big Bang Theory in the first 45 minutes of talking to her.

#King of micro aggressions vs woman who isn’t convinced he knows how to count #queen of accidentally being rude vs man who thinks she’s about to kill him #wolf 359 #doug eiffel #alana maxwell #i want to be clear that this is big bang theory hate

what people do when they misgender a pet: - apologize - use the right pronouns

what people do when they misgender a person: - argue - complain - drag their feet - keep using the wrong pronouns

Reminder that I need to hear so hopefully other aros benefit too:

You can be aro and still enjoy consuming romantic content. You can be aromantic and still get immense joy from shipping characters. You can be aromatic and maybe want a relationship with romantic elements one day, or unsure exactly what you want, with no deep desire to date and figure it out immediately. It is a spectrum of little to no romantic attraction, and we are valid regardless of where we fall on that spectrum. You are not fake or a poser, you are just a human being using language to better understand and describe your experience. If aromantic is a term that resonates for you, that’s enough. You are valid.

Revenant!Jazz ideas:

Continuing from this DPxDC prompt of mine, I’ve had some more thoughts about Jasmine Fenton and Revenants, especially where it concerns DC lore and Jason Todd in particular.

———————-

In my original post, @starlightcat04 asked whether or not Jazz’s eyes would glow toxic green too. I propose that, no, they wouldn’t.

While it’s a common head canon that Ectoplasm is heavily influenced by emotions, Jazz’s Ecto-contamination is bone deep and pure, unlike Jason’s. So no, I don’t believe her eyes would glow green.

They turn from the teal she had in life to a smoldering green that reflects light just like a feline, with a heavily damaged sclera that is perceived as black in low lighting, with ash grey veins spreading from her eye sockets down to her jaw like tears.

Her once bright hair turns from a lively orange-ish red to the color of cooling embers.

That which caused her death, a punctured artery is half-way healed by the time Jazz reanimates in the crematorium, so not only is she supposed to be dead still, she also has to be very careful with her movements otherwise she could very well bleed out again before she is fully healed.

What else changes with Revenant!Jazz?

In exchange for a higher mental processing and the high damage absorption of Revenants, Jazz loses most (almost all) of her memories of her life. What she does remember is thankfully not her death, but rather Danny’s, his death scream and ghostly wail overlap in her mind, at times causing severe headaches and nausea.

(According to his wiki page, Jason spent a year in a coma and as an amnesiac vagrant, therefore it’s not entirely without precedent that Jazz wouldn’t keep hers.)

Her Ecto-contamination has to factor in a lot though.

Jason was revived by Superboy-Prime’s Reality Shattering Punch. Jazz was reanimated by her own willpower, aided by Ecto to allow her body to heal and regress the stages of rigor mortis.

———//:///////———-

What does Jazz need to accomplish as a Revenant?

In the original prompt I wrote that Jazz returned to keep Danny safe- broad enough for a prompt, but what exactly does “safe” for a halfa entail?

Let’s list the major threats to Danny’s health, beginning with the obvious: the Ghost Investigation Ward and The Fenton Parents.

The Fentons are capable of tracking Phantom by his Ecto-signature, creating and having created weaponry specifically designed to target the ghost in question, to which they pass that tech on to the GIW.

If Danny remains in Gotham, the ambient Ecto will scramble the tech over enough of a distance, but if Danny were in a line up of three people right next to a GIW agent he’d be clocked almost immediately.

So, the Fentons and the GIW have to go. How does this happen?

The greatest irony I could possibly inflict on these anti-ghosters- becoming ghosts themselves. I won’t go into detail about what my brain jumped to when I thought about that outcome, but let’s just say it was pretty dark.

(And karmically well-deserved.)

#3 on the list depends on where Danny is when Jazz is finished with numbers 1 & 2 on her list.

If Danny is is Gotham and staying there for the long haul, then I believe this girl would take one look at Batman’s rogue gallery and nope them so hard everyone in Gotham gets the sense of their world about to be rocked, but the ones she gunning for the most?

(Joker, Bane, Manbat, Firefly, Madhatter, Riddler…)

They get the sensation that someone just walked over their non-existent graves.

(I got a little gleeful demented imagining Jazz just straight up ripping Manbat’s wings clean off, burning Firefly alive and throwing a detoxed Bane into a crowd of vengeful Gothamites.)

(Jazz learns that Joker killed a young hero with a crowbar and a bomb. She’s fully onboard with turnabout being fair play when it comes to that Pennywise reject.)

(I can’t even begin to list every rogue Jazz cuts down, it she doesn’t kill all of them, just most of their number.)

(Gotham celebrates for weeks.)

(I’m not sure whether or not Jazz kills the four mentioned previously in a couple of nights, one night or over a a few months, but it doesn’t take as long as one might think.)

What’s next for Revenant!Jazz?

I’m still writing The Regent series, so I doubt I’ll come back to this for a while, but I’ll still be posting ideas and whatnot about Revenant!Jazz. There’s still plenty to explore here, and I have a pretty angst/bittersweet ending for Jazz in mind I want to talk about later.

If you have any ideas to add, please feel free to comment! If anyone does write this, please let me know so I can read it!

Do we really gotta do the psa where we tell people that assigning English names to Chinese characters is racist again :/ like is that really a PSA that I am typing with my own goddamn fingers in 2023.

Like, this is actually a thing that East Asians go through in the west where our own names are deemed too difficult or different to say or use properly so we get assigned or be forced to pick an English one for other people's convenience. Being made fun of for having a different sounding name was a MAJOR part of my classmates bullying tactics through pre-k to 12th grade. Like that's a pretty standard thing to have been bullied for in a racially targeted manner for pretty much every Asian friend I know??? Names and food are the big ones????

I thought that as a fandom given the amount of time mdzs has been this would no longer be a thing???? Also lmao the literal irony of having to block people in the notes of that post with "end otw racism" as their profile photos like hello congrats YOU are the problem here.

I KNOW it's meant to be "funny" or whatever but that thing is in such poor fucking taste. It's not remotely funny.

#i wont even tag this #with literally any tags that show up anywhere #just the sheer micro aggression gall of it all #a tragedy named leaf #im just #so extremely mad about it #i have a hair trigger temper when it comes to making fun of names and making fun of food #and these both come from traumas due to YEARS long bullying campaigns irl

Lauren makes Dinner but she chooses everything Kaisa hates and Kaisa just has to sit there and act like she likes it.

Johanna: How's dinner guys Lauren did such a good job.

Kaisa: *gagging* ITS wonderful .

Luaren: *smirking* OH I knew you would Kaisa.

YES THIS IS THE DYNAMIC

#after she and Kaisa start dating Johanna rlly wants these two to get along #and neither of them want to make her sad #so they resort to. micro aggressions @ eachother #they’re so passive aggressive #it’s great #I need to make more content with them #hilda #hilda the series #netflix hilda #hilda netflix #Hilda lauren #Lauren hilda #Hilda kaisa #Kaisa hilda #I kinda wanna give them a pairing name #NOT a ship one a platonic one #so that ppl can find posts abt their interactions but idk what it’d be… #Kaisen or Laisa or something idk.

I've been seeing a weirdly high level of Dungeon Meshi discourse that just. Completely misses the point lately and I'm honestly kinda frustrated about it. So.

First point of address. Laios isn't canonically autistic. He is written in a way that lends itself to the reading of him being neuro divergent, and I think if he was a real person he would be on the spectrum, but the world of Dunmeshi itself does not have the concept of autism (yet). If it did you can bet the human enthusiast Kabru would have immediately pegged Laios as such. As for Falin, she'd also likely be ND but closer to ADHD judging by the relatively small amount we get to actually see her existing as a character.

NOW THAT THAT'S OUT OF THE WAY. Toshiro isn't being ableist with his expectations of Laios picking up on social queues and being angry that he doesn't get it! Laios is legitimately rude to him! In terms of micro-aggressions, he does it constantly and unintentionally. He straight up calls Toshiro strange looking and fucks up his name! But the thing is, Toshiro's biggest flaw is that he applies his cultural norms to his interactions with everyone, regardless of culture. Chilchuck and Mick have a small talk about how Toshiro, with zero indication of feelings beforehand or any romantic involvement, just asks Falin to marry him and expects it to go well, all because she looked at a bug and he thought she was the most unique and different woman he had ever met (small aside, almost all the women he had met at this point are either family, his dad's mistress that is more of a mom to him than his own mom, his retainers, and his uhhh indentured servants/Literal Slaves)(Itsuzumi is a whole ass other conversation that I'm not even remotely qualified to talk about). He's a man of high social status that's never had to think about that fact before, never had to examine the power and privilege he has at his disposal. As a result, his expectations of people to learn his cultural norms, something he's been used to in his homeland, go unmet and are a source of friction.

Here's a real life example. In the US Midwest, if a person slaps their knees and/or stands up, sometimes saying some combination of "Welp/it's getting late..." They're politely telling their guests "get the fuck out of my house." It's impolite to ask people to leave, even politely. This is absolutely arcane and insane, why would anyone do this? Society!

Toshiro has grown up in a place where he's had to be hyper-aware of these things, where he can't verbally state what he literally wants or means. And he's conformed! He's decided to do what's expected of him. Laios, on the other hand, instead chafed against the expectations put on him as the child of the village elder and against the way people treated Falin for being different. He gave up his privilege (assured house, home, fiancee, position and responsibility within their town) in order to pursue a freedom beyond the society he saw as wrong. Laios is fundamentally uninterested in people (as opposed to monsters and demi-humans which is why he's uniquely suited to dealing with the multicultural aftermath of The Whole Thing), but he values his loved ones and personal code of honor enough to do what he needs to protect those things, even if it means going against society.

Anyways this is a long winded way of saying Toshiro and Laios are complex characters and narrative foils of each other in the early narrative and shouldn't be turned into one dimensional parodies of themselves for the purpose of Hot Takes. Thanks.

#i saw so many people calling Toshiro ableist and still calling him Shuro Despite Everything #and other people saying Laios is a terrible near irredeemable person due to micro-aggressions #that i got fed up and word vomited #discourse is stupid!!! there are discussions to be had and points to be made but these are Fictional Characters #written by a Japanese woman with an extremely nuanced view of the world #dungeon meshi #delicious in dungeon

They’re openly hating on Ava/janine + Ava/Barbara on twitter, calling it gross. I wonder fucking why.

I’m aware that I’m not responsible for other peoples happiness.

But as the resident aromantic I know “all about being alone” and whenever I have a friend going through a breakup, it puts me in a position of “the token diverse friend” in media who pulls the main character out of their funk by showing them all the wonders that can happen when the MC stops worrying about [thing that the token diverse friend doesn’t experience]

And it pisses me off.

I don’t exist to make you feel better about yourself. I don’t exist to make you feel better about being single. Don’t you dare say “oh well I know how that feels, being single”

No you fucking don’t. Stop comparing aromanticism as a synonym for single. It’s not, and you are being a dick.

Allos if you have Aro friends stop fucking putting them in that position. Go find someone else to treat like a toilet to dump your emotional shit in, because on behalf of the arospec community I’m fucking calling it.

Having the doctor being allowed to rest, being allowed to heal, being allowed to be part of their best friend’s family, be an aunt/uncle* to Rose, and have joy and peace in their life without being as afraid of losing it, after all they’ve been through, is everything to me. It also allows Ncuti’s Doctor to heal and have more joy and love in their life, whilst still recognising and carrying that loss.

*I can’t remember the gender neutral term atm sorry. Yes I am nonbinary lmao.
