#aspect of it.

[catmask]

when u go to write a mentally ill person in ur story you are presented two options. the first option is to write your mental illness realistically as you actually experience it with all the ups and downs and people who are like you will resonate with it and feel seen. except every person who reads instagram infographics on mental health that uses the phrase narcicisst for anyone who does anything that crosses them and unironically call themself a dark empath will call you scary and tell you that youre demonizing mentally ill people

the second option is to lie and write inspiration porn for those people to get hard to

#just kidding the third option is i drive myself insane #trying to find a way to write someone like me in a way i may be respected as a human being #without shaving away the more frightening aspects of my experience or life #challenge level . impossible. i will die. or they will make youtube 3 hour long rant videos about it someday #scratchpost #txt

I don't think I'm meant to be employed. It really cuts into my goofy silly haha time. and it makes it nearly impossible to have any wow life is beautiful let me take it in time.

#guess what our employee appreciation gift was. a chair. 100+ dollars on a camping chair for each HQ employee? why not just... #i was just like gee. glad u appreciate me. u ever heard of how companies can shower u with free swag but it doesnt distract from the #horrible culture??? #like yes dont give us that 100 dollars but give me an ugly chair with our company logo that i had to lug up a hill. #im just tired of this aspect of HR i think. need me some new scenery

surrounding myself with a bubble of diversity and self love and body positivity online and then being exposed to normies who actually care about conventional beauty standards feels so fucking bizarre. like you people just live like this??? are you not tired???

#eliot posts #had to spend the week around my sister #and heard her talking about how much she wished she could remove/change certain aspects of her face #aspects which i also have #and generally like about myself and consider to be part of my charm #like girl what the fuck is a buccal fat #yinz are just making shit up to fuck with me i swear

Mostly spoiler free summary of my viewing experience

#The boy and the heron #how do you live #studio ghibli #ghibli #in all honesty that movie was legitimately so fantastic and im like changed as a person #Story wise as well! It hits really hard if you know a bit about miyazaki and his legacy. Its a very personal movie i think #And you can feel it in every aspect #The eng dub voice actors were really good as well and the animation was beautiful as always #Also really loved the tone!!! The story really relied a bit on the use of negative space in both sound and pacing and i enjoyed that alot #in conclusion go read a article about miyazaki and his son and then go watch the movie it’s probably going to be one of my favorites #image id in alt

I do sort of wish western anime fans would analyze anime and manga from a framework of japanese historical and cultural context. Specifically a lot of works from the 90s being influenced by the general aimlessness and ennui that a lot of people were experiencing due to the burst in the bubble economy and the national trauma caused by the sarin terrorist attack. I think in interacting with media that’s not local to our sociocultural/sociopolitical sphere it’s easy to forget that it’s influenced and shaped by the same kinds of factors that influence media within our own cultural dome and there ends up being this baseline misalignment of perception between the causative elements of a narrative and viewer interpretation of those elements. It’s a form of death of the author that i think, in some measure, hinders our ability to fully understand/come to terms with creator intent and the full scope of a work’s merits

#exilley's diary #this is about utena btw like. yeah its feminist and a coming of age horror story but also #it was in part ikuhara’s response to the changes he observed in the corporate anime industry and an attempt to subvert those trends #it doesnt really help that i feel certain aspects of the show are filtered through translation and certain cultural emphasises are lost #like for instance. the blood type symbolism. or wakaba’s gestures with making packed lunches #theyre incredibly japanese expressions of conventional gender roles that non-japanese audiences might not fully resonate with

The bioessentialism in trans subreddits is absolutely wild sometimes. "Estrogen will change your brain into a woman's brain whether you like it or not" is such a ridiculous thing to say?? And the nonbinary/agender/etc erasure fucking sucks

#This is in a thread about someone who wants some feminising aspects of e #But not others #And just wanted to know their options really

What never came across in either translation or the drama is that JGY spoke in kindergarten teacher voice (the one people often say the use to pacify angry customers) almost all the time, esp during guanyin temple.

#mdzs #jgy #i have never quite captured that aspect when i wrote him i'll be honest #it doesn't come across the same way in English

sokka trying to get katara to give up on her waterbending bc it could get her killed. and katara refuses to give up and continues to practice anyway. bc sokka and katara represent the survival of both the people and the culture. sokka had the safety of their people thrust upon him by his dad, while katara is the only one in their tribe that can carry the weight of their culture. both are heavy burdens, and they're struggling with their roles bc they're just two kids trying to rebuild in the wake of genocide. but they refuse to give up, bc that's what the story is about.

holding onto hope, regardless of what you face.

#so glad they focused on this aspect of katara and sokka's story instead of making them fight abt sexism #highlighting the unique ways in which they struggle to preserve the water tribe hits so much harder #ALSO it's a little unclear but if katara is the one who helped free aang from the iceberg #then katara's insistence on embracing her culture is what breaks the iceberg and frees aang (aka hope) #natla spoilers #avatar the last airbender #netflix atla #live action atla #katara #sokka #atla #natla #🪸

Death, Destruction, and Danny

(disclaimer: I have the barest bones idea of what the Endless are or their personalities, so this is just a quick blub of something I thought of at Work)

So! The JLA have just had an encounter with a member of the Endless, and called in Constantine to explain what exactly they are.

"Okay, so it's like this. Before Existence, before The Universe itself, the Personification of Time had a group of Children. These Children each Represent an Aspect of the Universe, and they are as Immortal as Immortal can get." Constantine explained.

"These children are called the Endless. They are, Dream, Destiny, Despair, Desire, Delirium, Destruction, Death, and Danny."

"...Danny?"

"Oh yeah, Danny's a cool guy. He was adopted later on by Time Itself, and he represents Balance. But that's not a word that starts with D so he just goes by his Mortal Name, Danny, to fit in."

#Dpxdc #Dcxdp #Dp x dc #Dc x dp #Danny Phantom #Dc #Dcu #The Endless #Death of the Endless #Dream of the Endless #Desire of the Endless #Destiny of the Endless #Despair of the Endless #Delirium of the Endless #Destruction of the Endless #Danny of the Endless #Danny is Deaths favorite sibling because he hangs out with her the most #Clockwork is the Father of the Endless #Clockwork adopted Danny #Nocturn is just an aspect of Dream #Or maybe just Dream in his “Casual Clothes” when he isn't trying to maintain his reputation #Clockwork #I thought it was funny because Danny starts with a D #And the Endless have a D name thing going #And he gets adopted by Clockwork in some AU's #And Clockwork is basically Time who is the Dad of the Endless #It's funny to hear a normal name like Danny after so many grandiose names

public service message that thinking "Maybe speaking up about Palestine is too controversial/political for me to do" or "maybe mentioning good aspects about Palestinians while they're suffering so much is not okay" is exactly the kind of mindset zionists want you to have and have been hard at work for years for people to develope. thank you.

#palestine #current events #free palestine #POST ABOUT PALESTINE TF #POST IN ANY WAY YOU CAN #in case you didnt know this is a PR WAR #They paid billions for PR it's important for you to speak up about Palestine in every fucking aspect of your life so they lose #have a nice day

I think my favorite aspect of the Hades II announcement is the idea that, somewhere in the underworld, a very thunderstruck Zagreus is demanding, "What do you MEAN, I have a sister?!"

#hades #hades 2 #hades ii #zagreus #melinoe #yep she's confirmed to be Melinoe #can't wait for those family conversations #my second favorite aspect of this announcement #is the fact that Zagreus' story was all Intimate Family Business #whereas Melinoe is out here to fuck up the Titans themselves #which I suppose is also Family Business #of a slightly higher order of magnitude in terms of Taking Care Of Shit
