#it made it unattractive to me

[niishi]

I'm sorry I can't watch the new trigun and I never will. it looks so ugly. the vibe is no where near the same and it takes away 90% of the charm of the original and makes it into something totally different. I feel like theyre giving it the sports anime treatment where they're banking on twinkification selling lots. like a yaoi head trap.

#tbh i hate yaoi culture #i think were not allowed to have nuanced conversations about it without being called like misogynists or whatever #and i think thats lame 🤷 #anyways the new one gives it a different vibe simply bc of the art style and tone #ive never read the manga so i cant compare it but #idk the twinkification is wild to me #it made it unattractive to me #i like the masculine wild wild west vibe it had #i look up to the old vash #the new vash just looks like some ugly twink #it feels like it was made to target the yaoi obsessed fandom #so they could sell a bunch of merch #it honestly feels like one of the most heartless remakes to a classic ever #i have nostalgia reasons for not watching the new one too #which are more prominent than this #but if they didnt change soooo much of the vibe of it #which is literally the best part of the original #then i mightve considered it #but its literally just too ugly #im not a 14yro girl the new designs dont entice me #and dont say “thats not why they did iy” #its marketing #thats exactly why they did it #they know what audience to target #to revamp the trigun hype #whilst not having to put in a whole ton of effort #all they have to do is make them look more twinky and yall will lose ur entire shit for it #anyways i know all of this bc all of the yaoi heads are obsessed with zazie #when no one previously cared about him #they only do now bc they made him have a more shota-esque design..... tell me that's not intentional

Transcript:

Matilda: Are you almost done? Courtney: Uh-huh! Is he getting restless? Matilda: Erm…

Courtney: Oscar’s outside if you wanna find him. Matilda: Sure. Courtney: And tell him he’s not supposed to be smoking!

…

Matilda: You’re not supposed to be smoking. Oscar: I was just pretending-.. to look cool, y’know? Matilda: [snorts] You’ll fuck yourself up, like nanna did.

Oscar: Your nan was pretty cool though. Matilda: Yeah… Oscar: Thanks for doing this, by the way. I know it’s kinda short notice.

Matilda: Isn’t it usually the woman who does all this wedding planning bullshit? Oscar: Sexist much? She couldn’t plan a piss up in a brewery anyway-.. and she deserves it, and she loves surprises. So, yeah.. all she’s gotta do, is turn up in whatever pretty outfit you’ve cooked up together n’ have a good time.

Matilda: I wish it could’ve been us, sometimes. Oscar: What? Matilda: It would’ve been so much easier if we’d had.. chemistry, or whatever.

Oscar: We don’t though, do we? Matilda: Fucking-.. obviously! God, you’re so vain; what did you think this was, a confession? You may as well be my brother. Oscar: The fuck else am I gonna think when you say shit like that?

Matilda: We grew up together, we understand each other-.. we’ve even slept together. Why didn’t it feel right? Why is it so hard to find someone I have an actual connection with? Like we do, but.. romantically. You two you make it look so simple. Oscar: I don’t know.. I guess fate had other plans, if you believe in that sorta stuff.

[Robin whimpers upon seeing Courtney, immediately reaching for her] Oscar: He’s hungry. Courtney: Clearly! What’s up?

Oscar: Tilda’s super jelly-.. she’s finally interested in what’s between a guy’s eyes as well as his legs. Matilda: [laughs] Fuck off. Courtney: Awh, you’ll find someone special sooner or later.

Oscar: And when you do, you’ll understand how simple it can be. Matilda: [scoffs] With me? Doubt it. Courtney: Bah! You’re impossible to console.

Oscar: Triss needs a lift, by the way. Courtney: Now? We could-… Oscar: Nope! The boy is hungry n’ I’ve got shit to do; Tilda can do it.

Matilda: I wish you’d stop tryna force-… Oscar: [whispers] He has a girlfriend numbnuts-.. pleeeeease just take him? I’m running out of cars. Matilda: Okay, okay! Get off me already.

I call characters ugly because their personality is revolting and i love to hate them and bully them. You call characters ugly because they have physical features that you deem "unattractive" or don't fit eurocentric beauty standards and you hate them for that.

We are not the same.

#text #i think my aroaceness saves me from only liking characters that are deemed attractive by society at large #to me ugly is in reference to personality. because to me no features are attractive or unattractive #i do not have a concept of attraction so ugliness has nothing to do with how someone looks to me #idk i only bring this up because i saw some posts calling a character drawn looking like their canon self in their canon art style ugly #and it made me very aware of the fact that people will simp for a character only if they are drawn in a way that they find attractive #and any other way is seen as “doing them dirty” or “making them ugly” #and it kinda is just like... i don't think you actually like that guy if you gotta change key features to make him attractive to you #long story short: i got hit again with how aroace i am and how weird a lot of allos in fandom are

#every guy i’ve dated has made me physically sick. chat am i gay #tbf i found them all very unattractive and was dating them bc they asked me and i felt bad #but there are many famous men i will never meet who probably wouldn’t sicken me #hob.txt

i never stop being surprised by men's perception of what women will find attractive. I don't even mean this in a man-hating way or something, it's just always surprising (and a little sad) to me when men think they need to be rich, tall, beefy, traditionally masculine, slick with pickup lines, dressed in button-downs and expensive shoes, fresh haircut, etc... I have no doubt there are women out there who value those qualities because the world is a rich tapestry...

but the men I know IRL who get laid the most are short guys who make chicks laugh, are interesting in some way, and seem self-possessed. one of them doesn't even shower. and these guys are out here pulling women left and right because they have distinct personalities and a charisma of their very own! no six-figure job needed.

but when I hear a straight man express that another man is attractive, he's always noticing the qualities I listed at the beginning of this post. men are just drawn to a very different version of masculinity than women are. anyways there's not really a point to this post I just wish guys could see how attractive they are when they lean into themselves

#ive slept with dudes I was distinctly UNattracted to because they were funny and I liked them and they made me feel heard #and the sex was bomb as fuck. men please stop trying to be 6'3 gym bros ;_;

Bounced back and forth, think I'll just make this post-

(Warning: Under the read more, if tumblr keeps the read more intact, is me, an aromantic/aegofictosexual person ramble-ranting about aroaceness in fandom. You're free to scroll past if you wish, or to disagree with me on whatever takes for whatever reason, this is just my one opinion on something I consider to be a big pet peeve of mine.)

(If you read this and go "but I don't do that!", then I trust you, and you're not the kind of person I'm talking about. I'm moreso referring to some things I've personally either witnessed or experienced in previous fandoms, and nobody this applies to will actually see this post unless it, like, gets a bajillion notes...um, hopefully.)

It is so. fricking. frustrating. having my only possible representation in media be like...[that one character] from DR. You know. the otaku or "geek" that's portrayed to be unattractive, "gross", and "weird", and will eventually express sexual attraction to "3D" people, because their attraction to and obsession with 2D was never a sexuality, but intended to be some creepy, incomprehensible thing, and a way to demonstrate their shortcomings and inability to actually court someone.

Characters who actually match my sexuality and experience will never exist unless I make them with my own hands, because both allos and other aces consider me "not ace enough".

This honestly plays a big part in why I'm really touchy about aroace headcanons; because often times they're blatantly used to say people aren't allowed to ship [character a] with [character b] -- and the person making the headcanon is usually 100000% fine with [character a] being put in a gay ship, but will loudly complain if they see them featured in the (usually het, usually canonically teased) first ship. Because it was never about actually writing an aroace character, it was about reframing "ewwww you like THAT ship?? gross uxu what's wrong with you??" into "uhhhmmmm but that character's aroace-coded" "sorry, I can't see them as anything other than aroace" (yeah, I didn't ask? Everyone else gets to talk about THEIR ships with that character and you enthusiastically support them...) And it's like... I feel like these types of headcanons specifically are always presented like, inherently, I'm totally, obviously going to agree with them, and if I don't, then clearly I'm just not aroace. (I wish that was more of a dramatization, but I had someone who I previously told my seuxality to go "oh. well. I'm asexual, so I see this character as aroace-coded, (and I'm right)" <- not outright said but very, very heavily implied, especially because they continuously insisted the character was "canonically aroace-coded", and I just had to sit there like... "...okay, but I'm aroace. (and I think saying that about a clearly het-intended character that's constantly being flirted and canonically shipped in extra side materials with is kinda hurtful)" <- I didn't say that part)

And the fact that no one respects if a character is canonically het or bi kind of plays into why I don't care when a character is canonically gay or ace. If everyone's sexuality is just "gay (MAYBE ace!!!)" or "okay but have you CONSIDERED they might be bi??? (stop putting them in het ships >:((( )" only when it's convenient, then why should I care for my downtime? It doesn't change canon. And I don't feel represented by people's on-the-whim, flimsy-as-fuck headcanons.

But it does still piss me off when people take a reboot or remake or continuation and flagrantly disregard a character's canon sexuality.

And it's upsetting that aroace characters 1. aren't really a thing for the most part, and 2. get written over when they are a thing.

I imagine that when I finally manage to finish one of my stories or games and, y'know, all of my characters are bi/pan/demi because that's what I tend to write...that's probably just gonna get changed to be "whoops everyone's gay lol" by the fandom, and I've already come to terms with that. (Well, by the part of the fandom that isn't populated by "ugh, everything is so WOKE now!" assholes, I'm just gonna pretend they won't even show up because they aren't worth it.) But then, it's also like...if someone officially continued or adapted my properties, and they changed my characters to be all straight or maybe one character gets to be kinda-sorta gay or something, I. I would definitely lose my shit.

-vague gestures-

I don't really know where I'm going with this, I just wanted to say my whole piece without having to worry about being accused of derailing/not listening to a post-

But basically if you're outraged whenever a gay character's sexuality is changed for any reason in any context, I better hear you be that upset about the rest of the possible orientations, and not pulling that shit yourself. I swear to god.

#not important #chaotic rambles #discourse #sorry for the vagueness about characters n stuff i just dont wanna wind up in any fandom searches #how to bridge the fact that im only attracted to fictional characters #with the fact that i have to be repeatedly made to realize i've never seen any character like me in fiction at all ever #only characters that are kinda sorta like me and also the unattractive loser butt of every single joke #also character sexuality is so...weird and not-solid to my brain y'all #i only have like...two or three characters that are full-on gay? out of the hundreds i've written? #about the same for het or ace or...you know any other combinations/other sexualities #it's usually more natural to my brain to have my characters shipped with basically anyone and everyone #and only a few times has a character effectively grabbed me by the horns and went “no. im not into that. and you cannot make me be.” #which creates a funny tidbit where two of my gay characters have radically different tastes in the same gender #so they both think the other one is “weird" and it's just really amusing to me #they also arent attracted to each other due not fitting into each other's tastes #it's just like...the only two men in a gay bar and they hiss at each other like cats #why did it turn out this way? genuinely no clue #i have a third gay man but he's got a third completely unique to him taste and he's just standing there #awkwardly sipping his drink like “oh god neither of these two ask me to agree with them please”

[yvesbuprofen]

actually falling in love with my belly I didn't like it because I was too skinny for too long and it felt uncomfortable to be sitting and feeling it there, idk how to explain it, but now I'm used to it, and it's kinda cute

#also I figured out I'm aro ace!!!! yippeee!!!! #no relation #or is it #idk #I liked being skinny because I looked unattractive (in my mind. people perceive me however they want) wo I was afraid of gaining weight #because I would look hot idk #but I made peace with this and my really weird obssesion with being healthy I had like 7 years ago #and that I toned down like 2 years ago #it comes from trauma I don't want to talk about #because it really doesn't makes sense #but anyways!!! happy with my body #the only bad thing is that clothes nor underwear fit me comfortably #I will always like something oversized :> #weight #weight tw

i sound absolutely unhinged talking about shit from 2017 but if i could telepathically share the thoughts i'm having you would all get it

#im abt to start my villain arc #this is all exclusive to mcd but hear me out #dilf garroth. he looks like a bear. dad bob (but still muscular). really curly hair thats kinda damaged from how often he (was forced to) #straighten it as a child. his hair is one of those light blonds that almost look white and it's peppered with silver hairs. he either has a #stuble on his chin or its a short beard (there is no in between). he has crows feets and smile lines and eyebags (but he is an eligible #bachelor to the ladies in the town). he's like 6'5-6'7 because hes 'apart' of the divine warriors but he's like a teddy bear more than #anything. he's super hairy (esp on chest. face. and thighs) but bc of how light his hair is you can barely see it. #i could go on forever omfg #he also has elf-like ears because of the divine warriors (something exclusive to them) thing but he cut them because they made him so #recognizable. #the one unattractive thing about him is that he's british (-adjacent) but he has a nice voice so he's like #a 5.4 ig #(a 10. hes a 10. i need him.) #maj's descent

Your whole pov about yourself really does change according to who you are surrounded by, huh

#TW weight discussion #tw weighloss #I was in a long ass relationship where I felt like I was pressured to stay exactly how I was at the beginning of it #no weight gain or loss cause if I lost weight I’d lose my curves (which my partner liked so very much) #and if I gained weight then I’d be fat and unattractive to them #they always made it very clear how they wanted me to look #hated by dyed hair unless it was black cause they were into goth chicks.. man that was so strange #but I feel a lot more comfortable with the idea of losing my curves and having a body that DOES change #I feel comfortable exploring my general self expression because the people closest to me dgaf and are happy to see me happy

Making you all look at him again and again because I can't get enough <333 My beloved Grima,,,,

#I'm holding back another rant about his character design again. help me dkdjsjh #i dont have anything new to add. i just hate that they were like 'Ah lets give him all of these traits to make him ugly and unsettling' #and then just made him like. a dude who's got some stuff goin on. #heterochromia doesnt make hom unattractive. no eyebrows doesnt make him unsettling. warts dont make him repulsive. #neither does thinning hair from nervous scratching/eczema. #like. he's not ugly or off-putting. He deserves love the same as everyone else. #and maybe if people had treated him like a person he wouldnt have turned to Saru.man #anyways I digress #slithering Sycophant #gushing

Went gay clubbing with the girls in central last night

#not a reblog for once #froggi rambles #I have been rained on my feet are killing me I’m tired #but I had fun :D #didn’t like Heaven. that wasn’t half as much fun as Freedom and She #at my leftover home made carbonara when I got home. it was good #made out with 2 people but honestly nobody was that interested in me which is kinda confirmed my small fear that I truly am as deeply #unattractive as I suspect I may be but that’s something I’ll think about when I’m not hungover

[the-busy-ghost]

The utter fury of reading about a character in a Victorian novel who is frankly described as ‘ugly’ and googling them only to find out that absolutely every tv adaptation portrays them as ‘brown haired but otherwise conventionally attractive to the 21st century’

#Are Victorian men very irritating when they choose to describe women based solely on their looks? Yes! #Is it perhaps difficult to cast for an 'ugly' role without insulting actresses? Also yes! #Is it possible that our beauty conventions have changed- I say yes but this particular actress would still have made a Victorian swoon #She has perfectly plucked eyebrows and clear skin too #So it's just going to frustrate me endlessly #Also there were aspects of this character which imo are still controversial in the 21st century #Body hair being one of many things which we still hold against women for god knows what reason #Beauty standards are bullshit and nobody should be treated better just because they're more physically attractive #But the answer to that is not 'Oh let's pretend all women are beautiful by only casting hot actresses so it's obvious these men were insane' #The answer to that is 'cast all sorts of people with all sorts of looks and if you explain to the actress the standards of the time period #I'm pretty sure she's not going to be insulted if you point out that this peanut-brained Victorian man may not have had the hots for her' #You know what's also unattractive? Internalised misogyny. But we can keep that in apparently it's just the body hair that's too much #This will never stop annoying me #It's up there with 'gives 24 year old actress grey highlights to pretend that she's now an old woman' #The Woman in White #reading log

recently ive been feeling like testosterones reallyn been working and ive been feeling gender euphoria for like one of the first times in my life i think

#like real gender euphoria or ccomfortability in how i look #i feel like i can look at my face #my faciaul hair isn't filled out as much as i want it to but its progressed so much #and same w my body hair. i wanted a lot og hair growth and i was terrified i was going to end up hairless for some reason and like already #made myself come to terms with the fact that i was probably going to be hairless on T before i even started #despite the fact that the men in my family are very hairy #like all of them. #though this has come with the new emotion of “oh shit i look so much like my dad” but i dont know. if i seperate myself from the trauma par #ive never found my dad to be an unattractive person #god thats something me and my parents would like have weird interactions about they were both so like insecure about how they looked #and i just did not give a shit about conventional attraction so i was just comforting these grown aults about how they looked all the time #go to therapy. please #so weird to be the onoly emotionally mature one its like you guys literally tortured me and now expect me to fix your problems
