actual cupid reader 🤝 anti-cupid atsumu.

#am i crazy #atsumu who hates love because it never works out for himself and he KNOWS he’s your exact opposite because you look at sweet things and #find joy and he looks at the same things and simply finds all of the reasons he cannot have it #someone who likes sunshine (atsumu) and someone who likes thunderstorms because of what they are; aboslute in their nature #ever changing. but always true #and reader who actually wants love so bad but believes none of it could ever be real because they’re cupid and everyone’s bound to fall #in love at some point but when do you start to see the person more than the job? when do you start to see reader rather than cupid #atsumu wakes up on morning after the one-night with you—against everyone you both stood for—and he sees a couple walking down the street #and he knows he’s supposed to fire—the arrow has their names on it. but he just can’t bring himself to do it #bc for the first time in a long time. he hasn’t seen reasons but instead that one previously elusive reason to stay #ANYWAYS thinking about this hard #pandora’s ponders! #i think that’s the tag idr

one thing i really like about the apothecary diaries is how fluidly maomao moves between high- and low-class society, between the rear palace and the pleasure district, allowing us to see the parallels in the power dynamics. in both settings, we see women trying to make the most of their relative stations with whatever tools available to them, which are often shared. much of the politics of the series centers women and the ways they try to navigate the world through seduction, marriage, beauty, fashion, manipulation, etc, because these are the things they're valued for. their appearance, their social graces, their "purity", their marriageability, their ability to bear children, and beyond - these all lend political, economic, and social leverage to themselves and their families regardless of class.

the mystery angle in particular enables the story to closely examine what tools and motives are available to women in the apothecary diaries in a way that's contextualized and humanized. it's also how the series highlights said women operating with a keen awareness of society's expectations and systems. whether that's applying deathly white powder to maintain impractical beauty standards, faking illnesses to deter certain visitors, using parlor tricks to subtly punish callous men, or wearing ostentatious outfits to hide a certain truth, each mystery we encounter reveals more about what it means to navigate the world of the apothecary diaries as a woman in addition to revealing their cleverness (or lack thereof) in doing so.

maomao is no exception to the rule, often weighing similar questions of propriety and power before she acts - although she does engage from a unique position. she's a literate woman from the lower class with special circumstances surrounding her birth, versed as an apothecary, and favored by highly ranked members of the court. this, plus her marked lack of ambition beyond medicine, gives her a lot of mobility between and (relatively) unbiased insight into both the high- and low-ranked parts of society. in turn, we readers are given a fantastic protagonist to explore what i consider a core draw of the series: seeing how maomao chooses to move through the world, highly conscious of her own social positioning as well as that of all the other women around her

#the apothecary diaries #kusuriya no hitorigoto #maomao #my jessays #anime analysis #there's extremely light hints at content beyond the anime and even manga but i tried to be careful #kusuriya analysis #idr how to tag this for myself lmao i think tad stinks as an acronym frankly #anyway i love how much women are centered in the apothecary diaries it's truly delightful and i love seeing maomao connect with other women

#yeah. im into drawing absurd crossovers now #feat. the stupid fuckign chess meme #ik the doll thing is just a doll but i keep seeing shitposts online that treat him as if hes not. i think it adds to it #no idea whats up with the formattign we'll see if it fixes itself after posing #(edit: it did not i had to re-add the second image) #i think yami yugi would survive a saw trap no problem. it's his natural environment #for that matter i also think he would survive squid game (ignoring the political messaging here. sorry.). he does that for a living #i've thought out how an evil chess shadow game would play out. even if it's not actually explained in the drawing #theres a time bomb on each side. you can prevent/regain time on yr side depending on the type of pieces you take. loser explodes #yami yugi would get a pawn across the board unnoticed turning it into a queen bc of course he would. prompting the opponent to cheat #getting themselves super penalty gamed #ygo #dm #s0 #yugioh #idr my tags help #saw #(i guess???????)

Need volume 10 so I can get the Blake and Yang vs Tyrian match up of my dreams

You got Yang, whose semblance relies on her taking the hit. Who’s been shown over and over to use her own body as a shield so that her loved ones don’t get hurt. She’s been able to use it as more than a last resort in more recent volumes but it still requires her to store up the energy by taking the hit while her aura is gradually depleted.

Then you’ve got Tyrian, an incredibly good close quarters fighter like Yang but with an acrobatic ability closer to Blake’s and a semblance that cuts straight through people’s auras leaving them completely vulnerable. Burn is completely irrelevant if Tyrian goes for a lethal hit the first opportunity he gets

Blake on the other hand relies on her semblance to avoid taking the hit. She can create space for herself, put herself in a better position, and if she uses dust trap or hurt enemies with it. We’ve seen Blake avoid hits that would’ve killed her multiple times. If he can’t even hit her Tyrian’s semblance doesn’t mean shit

I want to see Blake just lose it again like she did at Neo for a bit after Yang fell but this time she doesn’t have to worry about Cinder. Let Blake be a little ruthless vs a serial killer. As a treat. I want to see this fight as a set up for Blake and Yang to finally talk about Yang’s self sacrificial tendencies.

#blake belladonna #yang xiao long #tyrian callows #rwby #ive yelled about this in the tags of posts before but idr if ive ever made a post about it #i dont think Blake and Yang will ultimately be the ones to finally take Tyrian #that’s probably going to be Qrow and Robyn #but it’s such a juicy match up I’d be sad if it didn’t happen especially since I don’t think they’ve ever even been on screen with Tyrian #the rest of the main gang except Weiss I think all have and most have fought him #it’s the Bees turn

one piece x steven universe au where instead of being a crystal gem, luffy is sort of a rogue who flies around in a spaceship adventuring through space and making/recruiting friends on different planets and gem colonies, he was inspired by earthlings and now he wants to live freely without the constraints of gem roles and expectations (tagging this with #gem piece)

#ok im leaving these in the tags because I'm still not 100% sure for these but #usopp. obviously bismuth (inventor; touchy hugger and funny; black coding; fight with mc like in w7; rainbow cough gay also he's artistic) #i could keep going on ab usopp but anyways . the second im p sure about is sanji as a sapphire #like u got the whole running away from ur royal duty thing it's crazy . also he's blue #i was talking this au over with a friend and he mentioned how sanji would have 2 eyes and that's why he'd be ostracized which is so real #SANJI'S AN OFF COLOUR #oomf said sanji would be pearl because bispearl (which is so real) and also lapidot works for sanuso which is so 😭😭 CRYING #idk about the others feel free to drop ur ideas and stuff i need to hear em #i have doodles for this au idk if anyone gaf tho 😞😞 bye #oh also the crystal gems r the revolutionary army :3 i think it fits better idr think luffy would be into that stuff #op #one piece #steven universe #su #monkey d luffy #sanuso #usosan #technically because this au was born from a sanuso idea 😭😭😭 #sanji #usopp #gem piece

Stand in solidarity with the Miccosukee:

Big Cypress Preserve is part of the Everglades, one of the largest remaining tracts of wetlands on Turtle Island (North America).

The Miccosukee Tribe have lived there since time immemorial and their care for their home has shaped it into the beautiful swamp we know today.

The National Parks Service is trying to rush a change in Big Cypress' designation from a Preserve to a Wilderness area. [plain text: The National Parks Service is trying to rush a change in Big Cypress' designation from a Preserve to a Wilderness area.]

This would give the area stronger protections for water quality, but would significantly limit the Tribe's access to their homelands and completely ignores how their stewardship of the lands and waters was and is crucial in maintaining the health of ecosystems.

There hasn't been a good faith effort to include the Miccosukee in a meaningful way (ie free informed prior consent & input!!!) on this change to their sovereign territory.

If you want to practice allyship, here's a chance. Sign the petition to show your support / solidarity with the Miccosukee. [plain text: Sign the petition to show your support / solidarity with the Miccosukee.]

Personalize it even just a little, even if it's just adding your own name or hometown. If you're able, print it out sign it and mail it. The Tribe and organizers working on this have a goal of getting 500 letters to the NPS/Secretary of the Interior. The online petition is almost at its goal! Just over 2,000 signatures left (as of Mar.16th 2024 21:30EST).

Please please share! I have it on good word that the NPS is trying to push this through before folks really have a chance to hear about what they're doing or make a fuss. So make a fuss we must.

The mailing addresses are below the cut for anyone who can send a physical letter!

Mail to:

Charles F. "Chuck" Sams III, Director

National Park Service 1849 C Street NW Washington, DC 20240

Secretary Deb Haaland

Department of the Interior 1849 C Street, N.W. Washington DC 20240

support group for nerds who were rejected by their peers because of their hyper-energetic and reckless nature and, among other factors, this lead to a habit of escapism through fiction. only for them to eventually find themselves in a fantasy world, except that this world isn't anything like the story they envisioned. it's is far crueler and won't let them be the hero they always dreamed of, crushing their idealized fantasy. and because of shenanigans involving different forms of time travel they end up taking on massive burdens that weaken their mental state even further, and driving them into far worse depression than their former happy-go-lucky selves (even if part of that was a facade). this compounded with the guilt of leaving their parents behind, and the idea that they hurt all the friends they made along the way, they start to believe that the entire world would have been better off if they were never born to begin with. so they begin to feel that they can't be loved for who they really are, despite how much the people around them care. and at the end their arcs basically center around this idea of moving on from fantasy, growing up, and both understanding and being understood by others. and also have purple girlfriends with cats and a cute new non-human little sibling with parental abandonment issues

BUT #i dont think that there's a meaningful difference between baldr and darkness. like i think 'possessed' baldr IS baldr #and that he's always been Like That. but i also think it's a mask #like he is cruel because of hatred and anger but also because of grief. and also because he's miserable and - #- because he needs to feel like he deserves it. deserves to be miserable #like it's about punishing himself. that's what it is at its core. he is vile and so he will act vile #but it's an act. he's putting on a show. it's a performance #'i win. you lose. the end' #so he tries to drag xehanort into the performance by goading him into being hurt and angry and vengeful towards him (like he deserves) #but the second xehanort refuses to play along the facade comes crashing down #all that to say. i remembered this bit of dialogue from days and felt like drawing something self indulgent. again #happy valentines day to unwell people <3 #my art #kh art
