🎉 FUNNY BIRTHDAY HAT TIME!!! 🎉
...if at least to celebrate one, lol!
today one year ago I created my lovely Yahkha in game, who despite not having much time in the RP scene is still beloved to me for her lore and the ideas that she allows me to explore. Not to gush too much, but she's really where my psychological and body horror writing really starts to take root... and golly do I love her for it!
in this post, she is accompanied by my darling Imetyl (who turned one as well this year) and Zontli (currently in her terrible twos). While they unfortunately aren't going to be gushed on since their special days have passed, I'll be reblogging and adding my other OCs once they reach their respective birthdays, so keep an eye out if you're so inclined! :-) !

I'm having some thoughts regarding posts I've seen on my dash both recently and like, years ago, bc this is far from a new phenomenon. this isn't @ anyone specific nor am i going to give specific details bc it really is an expansive thing so like. to whoever needs to hear this ig
stop engaging with things in the worst faith reading possible. start giving people the benefit of the doubt i am begging you
9/10 of times, the person you see who might be slightly insensitive, or enjoys content you find harmful, or is using the wrong term for smth, is doing it out of ignorance on the matter
and most of the times it isn't smth they can just google to figure out. bc sometimes you really gotta do mental gymnastics or ignore every redeeming quality of a thing to find the harmful part. and usually unless a person is directly involved in activist circles or knows abt the history of a particular community etc they will never make that connection and I'm sorry to tell you, but that's most people you will encounter, both irl and online
9 times out of 10 there is no malice involved. attacking strangers because you think they are attacking you by doing a very normal thing (like quote a meme or enjoy a movie) isn't the way to gain anything, and you're more likely to cause antagonism in that person
it's good to inform others, but doing it by accusing them of harmful behavior isn't the way
also on a less deep note, you're just gonna become an incredibly unpleasant person to be around if you keep doing that shit. if you keep looking for the bad in everything you see others enjoy, you will keep seeing it. you will become extremely bitter. you gotta give people the benefit of the doubt for your own sanity fr
and before I'm taken out of context: no that doesn't apply to actual bigots (my whole point here is that most ppl just aren't informed and aren't actively hateful). no this isn't me telling you to be nice to your own oppressors so they hate you less. no this isn't me saying you have to let slide media that is genuinely harmful (I'm talking more about the people who consume it who are average and don't hold some secret ill intentions). yes I'm aware a lot of times people ARE bigots and just try to hide it which is why dogwhistles exist, which is exactly why i think it's important to remain informed and inform others so we stop engaging with these people or their content (i just think that doing it in combative ways is bad for everyone involved). ok i think that covered all my bases
tldr just. remember that people are people. and people can make mistakes. and you gotta let them grow from it. and sometimes, you are the one who makes the mistake, by assuming the worst of someone you don't even know

your post about ruikasa!! i literally just saw it and i’m so relieved that i’m not the only one who like. doesn’t get it at all
like ofc a ship doesn’t have to have a canon basis to be a fun ship but the fact that it’s the most popular proseka ship always made me think “oh maybe there’s something there that i’m missing?” but your post made me realise that maybe there just isn’t that much there
I got worried shortly after that post so I'm just going to expand on it here.
I believe that there is evidence for every popular ship in the sekai fandom, I just don't fully understand how RuiKasa ended up as most popular. If it was going to be a m/m ship I would have assumed it would be AkiToya since. Y'know.
There are events (that I admittedly haven't read yet) that imply RuiKasa because that's just how the game tends to be. However those events are Wonder Halloween, which is literally WxS's first event, and Pandemonium, which I haven't found a translation for and don't really plan on reading anytime soon (priorities are in catching up on key events whenever school calms down for me).
Compared that to most of the other more popular ships in game and it's clear they don't have as much development. MizuEna had the picnic event, footprints and ribbon for example. Or AnHane or AkiToya who get a lot of focus. This doesn't take away from the fact that Rui and Tsukasa are close, because that's just what being in the same unit suggests.
Part of the reason I feel neutral on the majority of WxS ships is because I just don't see their dynamic as romantic. I feel like their story works perfectly in depicting them as friends but struggle to see any of them actually getting together. Unlike most other units where I can reasonably see A and B dating in some post-game future.
So yeah, I don't fucking understand RuiKasa, but I respect the people that do and love them enough to make content for them. It's just that it isn't for me.

give me murdercat info/angst. for fun.
@gothamcityneedsme screw it I'm answering this one too. I'm writing vignettes ("vignettes"--they're all breaching 1k, if not more) alternating between Raz and Trick and how their fighting styles developed after...essentially thinking they got each other killed. Maybe putting something out into the ether will make me write more of it.
Also, in continuation of a prior, different conversation, we fridge men in this house.
"He overcommitted to his lunge against her, stretching further than he should and leaving his left side open. It was a common mistake, and one she had thought she had beaten out of him during the countless practice rounds she had with him over the year to ensure his survival in the ring.
She moved on instinct, incapable of preventing her feet from side stepping out of his strike and unable to stop her hands from swinging her blade upwards. She honed her instincts to a fine pointed precision. She knew how to take an opportunity...she knew how to survive.
Her blade sunk into his side, as it had countless times before. This time though, there was no training blade. It was not off and dull, but sharp, vibrating, and she felt it ripping through flesh, through muscle and sinew. Through bone.
Her eyes widened, and her breathing hitched, growing more rapid as the seconds ticked by while her blade. Kept. Going. She couldn't stop, even if she wanted to. And she wanted it to. She wanted it to stop, she wanted to stop, she wanted to stop, she needed to stop...but it didn't matter.
Only one of them was making it out of here alive, they both knew that.
Finally, Kol stumbled back, away from her blade and then down to his knees before falling backwards into the dirt. His hands gripped at the wound in his side, and she watched dumbstruck as those hands quickly transformed a dark shade of red as they were coated with his own blood. The hilt of the vibrosword fell from her hands. She never, never let go of her weapon but...in this moment she didn't need it. That was a killing blow, as it had been for her so many times before.
More importantly, she knew above all else, Kol would not strike against her in his dying moments. Kol never wanted to strike against her at all."

Why the things with the most cute/sweet aesthetic are the one's with the most meanie/b*tch people on it😑? (animal crossing,disney, hello kitty, and now the fairies/tinkerbell bell series, i hope pikmin don't become one of those💦(you not gonna fuck ruin my pikmin!💢)even a little ironic…or sad💧 cuz all of thoses things (sometimes) have messages of love, friendship, kind, compassion,but the people that consume this contents are the most meanie one's (maybe i am being too harsh but i feel a mean/bitch aura on the people (like…i don't feel that they are that nice at all😒)
