My friend (@thegroovyfeline) has a character (Conrad) who I’ve grown VERY FOND of, and I just HAD to make this sweet but sad little boy a girlfriend. Thus, all of... this.
Song clip in the video is from “I Double Dare You” by Al Bowlly.
I saw a fairy and I will now have fairy ranfuku thoughts. Initially I imagined the low hanging fruit of fairy Ranpo, but actually FAIRY FUKUZAWA. Tiny and lovely with big butterfly wings or strong clear dragonfly wings. Fairy king or just loner fairy. Ranpo the botanist coming into his forest and Fukuzawa being a little foolish and brave and investigating him only for Ranpo to capture his interested as much as he captures Ranpo's. A story in a bubble about them falling in love in a calm, temperate wood, dappled by sunshine and surrounded by flowers.
another thing i've Witnessed in all spheres of modern feminism is who gets afforded the grace of "internalized misogyny" vs who just gets called a "misogynist"
like if you are a feminine cis girl (& usually white too) all your sexist bullshit is excused as internalized misogyny that was pushed on them by a sexist society that they have to unlearn but in the meantime we cannot hold them accountable or be too mean to them bc they're traumatized and trying :((((( so if you call out their sexism, YOU are in fact being a woman-hating bitch/dyke/etc who hates girls and girlhood
but...... if you are a trans woman or you're butch or a stud or a woman of color and you say anything even perceived as sexist, oh no no you do NOT get the grace of "internalized misogyny". you don't get time to learn or grow. you are a sexist and you should be shot and you might as well be a man.
and usually the latter group's "misogyny" is just pointing out the other group's double standards and sexism which gets us called not girls girls and "pick-mes" (used wrong) and sexist etc. like sometimes obviously we ARE misogynistic, everyone is, but usually it's over the dumbest shit and even in the cases where someone in the latter group is being genuinely sexist, they are NOT given the same grace as the former group
more from the reincarnated band au in the form of: sometimes you're just a girl who wants to have a nice lunch date w your partner, but then her incredibly rude coworker stalks in (bc he stalks everywhere) and then you realise you've miscalculated bc the shop is one block away from the gym and his appearance makes sense, he does leave the gym at this hour (you're annoyed that you know ouyang's routine). Some random jockman is trailing after him and ouyang appears as pleased as he is desperate to evade him, and they both sit down with you and you end up eating your noodles next to some sweaty guy you just met, while zhu and ouyang bicker gleefully at each other about music.
