uhmmm lisa

#im gonna vent in tags i like doing that #but i was thinking a lot abt lisa the first #and how ive seen people say that its bad how honest it is about how bad lisa's life is #like the gross symbolisms and shit #and its ok if its not for everybody #not everyone wants a reminder #but its always been special to me just like it is #i wouldnt have had this game help me so much if it wasnt as ugly as it is #and it is without being fetishizing or ridiculizing which i appreciate even more #its written sensitively #i honestly wouldnt have related if it was explained merely through 1 line of dialogue #because at the time i was denying something bad happened to me #i wouldve probably felt pity for lisa thinking i didnt get it #not gonna be descriptive but even tho my case wasnt just as bad it still hit me #shit like the town that is full of bile or the goddamn spiders with creepy music #made me start to consider things #and playing painful and joyful helped me think about other things #i owe so much to the lisa games lol #ohhh and another one 'you cant run from something that already happened' my god #the first game hits so hard #its so bad that its so underappreciated just cuz it isnt just like the other 2 #despite it going for something different #i think it accomplished what it was going for #i have a lot of respect towards the first game #also the way lisa sees marty's face everywhere damn #not gonna tag as lisa #tw: abuse #just in case #i could say more about the game cuz i think about it so often #i forgot to say this but yea what hits is how it shows u what it feels like for the person affected

The concept of Damian growing up with a Muslim shower(bidet) as he grew up in a Arabic country and just talia packing him an empty bottle(if yanno , yanno) and telling him to use this to go to the bathroom in his European tour or however he really to the Manor, with a separate Muslim shower attachment (for when he get to the manor for installment) as well and like poor bby dami confused and asks his mother if it is a training exercise and Talia just freaking longs sighs and says that the west doesn't have Muslim showers like us and they u paper to clean there butt and

DAMI JUST HORRIFEID LIKE NO WATER ???

AND LIKE HES WILLING TO BEG UMMI NOT TO SEND HIM. And then he's like but my FATHER(baba) would not be stupid enough right he must be rich enough to use water to "do the stuff right " and once again he is disappointed

And like in the background Jason had his dip already sneaks into the league to like steal a Muslim shower for himself (he grew up on the street he has to feel clean or ptsd yanno) and Ra's is so proud that ATLEST SOMEONE from the west cherises cleanliness and doesn't even care abt hurting Jason (he's like a scientist showing of his discovery) like HERE U WANT ONE TAKE IT,I HAVE A GOLD PLATED ONE TO TAKE THAT TO. Like just Muslim shower appreciation bro and Eastern culture to but mostly Muslim shower

Also the food don't get me started on that bby used to having whole a** chilies but like he's comes to USA and EVERYTHING IS SO BLAND W H Y. He has to call his mother and ask her with increasing desperation if he can come back and to at least send him a cook he is a prince after all.

Everybody at the Manor is confused abt him not eating food and putting hot sauce on everything because that's what he has been led to THE HORROR. Alfreds British and even after all that colonization BY TRADING FREAKING SPICE through the subcontinent their food is still pretty bland and Dami is so salty abt this to Alfred

Dami: Ummi these people don't even know what seasoning is, Ummi. Plz is this punishment for the time my tiger ate your dress mother. Father(baba) doesn't even know how to install a Muslim shower Ummi

And talia amused on the inside and telling to preservere and think of it as training

And just yeah a biracial person guide to THE WEST

I would like LOVEEEE to read a comic written by a Eastern writer about Damian having to adapt to the west and that being harder then any training cus he like are these people senile or poor to wipe ther butt with paper and to think that mandi (pretty sure there might be veggie options in this to) is just orange friend rice to them like where is the FLAVOUR 🤌

#damian al ghul #talia al ghul #ras al ghul #the al ghul are morally grey here not villians #eastern culture appreciation #the eastern food appreciation #but most importantly MUSLIM SHOWER APPRECIATION #im sick and tired of using a bottle on airports #im just a desi gal sadly living in a westernised world #might not be from middle east but im from south east asia so eh desi is desi #also jason todd but like just a smidge #jason todd #damian wayne centric #damian wayne #also not meant to offend anyone #ITS MY FIRST WRITTEN POST ON MY OWN AND NOT JUST RE TWEETING IT BE NICE #im sensitive #plz 🙏

im happy my post is garnering discussion but honestly i wasnt around for 2018-2021 fandom on tumblr and i was mainly talking about how its kind of silly to get mad at people for portraying colonizer countries as mean, or calling it demonization and stuff. like its okay not to like personally portraying ur fav characters as mean or part of the state, but getting irritated at the fact that it exists or is popular imo kind of misses the fact that this… is the state and nation personification fandom. and its hard to say its not canon when canon did once portray the characters in uniform and at times involved in their state activities… like the early strips discussing western imperialism in china is literally ‘china being bullied by the allies’ ‘france wanting to grope china’ ‘china being treated like a maid’ etc etc like they were very much. the state LOL also china and japan’s canon relationship, as much as I have my issues with it, has an entire thing about china being stabbed by japan… i do feel like hetalia started out as a history nerd’s history exploration that blended humour with ‘what i find cute’ with satire etc etc, which inevitably involves illustrating the personifications as vessels of state and culture, and although the modern strips have deviated quite a bit… well, different people will approach this series for different reasons, right? Whether its serious or comedic content showing the characters as mean or imperialist or unpleasant, it’s not something that deviates too far from canon (if we take all canon eras into consideration) nor is it surprising given how history laden the topic is.

#diary #hetalia #hater tag #also have some issues with some things being called drama… #like i know some of u think of me and some others as drama stirring little devils #honestly i dont enjoy drama that much but ill become upset when i see things that i see as racist or insensitive… #because im of the opinion that this fandom requires extra sensitivity given the subject matter. #let people have fun #but #also be careful yk? i guess for me personally im always trying to be careful #when im out of my depth i try to talk to ppl with better understanding while doing my own research #and if ive written or expressed antyhing bad (which i certainly have even on this blog many times before) #i try to change my stances with new info… and like #this is important to me and its important for me to read ppls thoughts bc. #i know what its like to be treated racistly and dismissed. or to have things and history precious to me twisted #but anyways rambling aside… i guess what i want to say is i understand it seems annoying but #if you post something insensitive… and someone gets upset… then thats just how it is. hetalia is sensitive #again ive definitely posted bad insensitive things. ive been told im acting out of line. #and it sucks. but… sometimes you have to understand ur own irritation doesnt outweigh the hurt #and listen a little #sometimes i like things that i then find are insensitive or cruel. and id rather not engage with it than dismiss peoples hurt… or something #honestly i keep most of my whining private i promise JLKFHDJGLKFH BC FOR THE MOST PART I THINK I CAN TELL THE DIFF BETWEEN #when i have a real issue and when im just nitpicking #so i keep my more petty whining or basic stuff private #but if i see something egregious then i dont want to be quiet #and if a friend of mine (esp if theyre a kid) is upset or hurt by racism I dont want to be quiet

the only reason why I dont post more about gretta darkkettle is because then I'd actually get Serious on here

#listen yall im not really the type of person to let a fictional character get me actually riled up (negative) irl #cuz theyre just tools in a narrative not real people #but like dont some of you have just That One Character that you actually just Hate. #actually i dont think id have so much of a problem eith gretta if she were written to actually face consequences and not be a free woman #but like. we have a game that introduces serious issues within it right? please portray that PROPERLY .... #like okay we all know that wizard101 isnt exactly the pinnacle of genius and sensitive writing #theres like 800 more topics in the game that were handled horribly that are much more important than gretta but. #i wont even get INTO gretta ANYMORE SUALAJSOSHDU she. she ugh. she really makes me (commits murder on a wide scale) #like i was thinking of doing an essay on her but for many reasons i decided against that. one of those reasons is that I Love Myself Actualy #anyways this post is useless.

what do i have to do to get people to read my stuff actually like im not about to get in everyones faces begging for attention but i dont understand how im expected to make FREE fandom content without much feedback on my work

#ignore my ranting but im actually so fucked disillusioned #like why are there so many people who scream about supporting each other and lifting up small creators #and they never do it themselves unless its their friend #sorry i dont sit at the popular table but i never expected that it would impact my reach this much #my newest fic has more hits but less kudos and less comments than my first #it's so obvious people only interacted on my first fic *because* it was my first fic #and thank you so fucking much to the people who have given me kind words #and literally religiously rbing my stuff because you think im worth listening to #this isn't about me crying because im not popular #people with bigger followings are naturally going to get more attention #but the only reason ive started posting my fics is because all these POPULAR BLOGS were like 'we support each other here!!!' #'were a big family were not a big fandom so any time someone posts it brings a smile to our faces!' blah blah blah #like youre out here lying for clout you literally only leave feed or kudos if its your fucking friend 😭 not even if its good #i guess id rather have less people interacting if it means the feedback i get is genuine and not just blowing smoke up my ass #but it still hurts to write a fic that flops and then write another fic thats over 3x longer than my first fic #WITH A PREMISE THAT POPULAR WRITERS HAVE WRITTEN ABOUT BEFORE AND BLEW UP FOR IT AND PEOPLE IDOLIZE THEIR WRITING #so im expecting to get more feedback and constructive criticism because it's a concept that a lot of people seem to love #only to get EVEN LESS FEEDBACK THAN ON MY FIRST FIC #like sorry to everyone who genuinely likes my writing i actually love you so much #but im very rejection sensitive and don't plan on continuing this. it seriously hurts me. it triggers my abandonment and selfhatred shit ba #like im sick to my stomach that another thing im passionate about is sucking the life out of me & i cant even get my foot in the door #donut rebagel this thanks and goodbye

I love love love new vegas its my fav game EVER but I gotta say that like the way fandom behaves about the honest hearts dlc really does show me how the nuance and subtext themes of this game really fly over ppls heads, maybe its cause im hyper aware of all things mormon but at the heart of the dlc its about a war mongering racist who thinks its his divine purpose to deal with “savage” tribal natives.

Youre not supposed to think he’s based just because he’s an enemy to the legion, the POINT of introducing him to the overall narrative is to reiterate the point that war never changes. Joshua Graham is SUCH a cool character, hes got a lot you can dive into and think about but i’m kinda sick of his fanonized portrayal of “im a good person, who has to do bad things” hes more like “i was a terrible person, I’m still a terrible person” Theres much to discuss when it comes to the mormon themes and like church beginnings, my god can I go off about like mormons and their stupid fucking tribes omg. This DLC kinda has a jokey message once its boiled down to its basics, its poking fun at stupid white mormons in a meta way. Just because Graham spits out some baller lines doesnt mean he’s cool and good. Hes… racist with deeply racist beliefs and ideals, hes MORMON lol.

#a LOT of the fanon shit i see about this dlc and characters are a lil eyebrow raising #you dont need to know any mormon anything to idk not celebrate racism by purposefully misunderstanding themes #and like….. he is definitely thirstable i have literally written fic about him #I guess theres a way to be sensitive about thirsting #like if u thirst because hes a bad person and thats kinda yum??? valid #if u thirst because u think its hot that hes like trying to become a new dictator and take advantage of native ppl then thats….different #likw fmdhdkdnsmsjdnndfhdb #im sure i sound insane i did shrooms and just obsessed over fallout for hours

beau is sooo messy i'm obsessed with him. him being happy to see felix seemingly flourishing and being more confident etc but also feeling weird and almost jealous at the fact that it used to be just him that got to see felix that way. that he used to be the only reason for it. and like he KNOWS that's a messy and kind of fucked up way to think about it but he also knows he's in a really weird spot emotionally and can't help it

#one question i am obsessed with at the moment is what makes a person/character 'toxic' #i don't think it's a simple yes or no a character either is or isn't #especially with grief and complicated emotions like... #i have had some UGLY thoughts about people. even about people i love and consider friends #and i have had times where i've had to question myself and wondered if i'm actually this spiteful and meanspirited person #but i realised all of those moments were happening in very difficult and dark times in my grief #which was making it harder for me to regulate emotions and being much more sensitive and quick to take something personally #even though i would know logically that i did not feel that way AS I FELT THAT WAY #it was a mind fuck and it took so long to figure out how to process and unpack all that... #anyway im obsessed with grieving characters having sensitivity and messy feelings and being easily triggered into them #and feeling them even though they know logically that's not how they actually feel under 'normal' circumstances #all this to say i dont think beau is a toxic person. but i do think he is grieving and his is the fleshiest/rawest character ive written in #a while LOL #hes competing with felix and dorothy. who imo were actually being toxic to each other in RR LOL #but then it's like. a character that is toxic at times is not necessarily a bad person to me! #im specifying character because i dont want to get into a discussion about irl morality. but like. #oughhh i love characters who are hypocritical and suck but are also full of love and a desire to be better but its hard to be

Holy topic change batman

How did we even get here

#reading a poem from class and am just in shock at a change of topic here and the language used #like i dont have cultural knowledge/connection/whatever of the word used so it itself isnt like sensitive for me in any way nd i dont know #how much it is that in spanish (bc im reading the poem in soanish and translating the words i dont know into english to understand better) #but the FREAKING TOPIC CHANGE here has left me so shocked #like im sorry but how do we go from talking abt how this homie is like the special voice of the city and connection to nature in an #industial world only to then go (direct translation) “and the faggots #they dreamed of you“ like bro WHEN DID THEY GET HERE #anyways i picked this poem bc it was a little queer from the skim i did i can admit that but obviously i missed the bulk of it because i did #not see that line coming at all or the total topic change here #like again i picked up it was a little gay on the skim bc its by a gay poet abt a gay poet. and bro is described using words like beautiful #handsome etc. a few times #but looking through and skimming the rest is just them talking about gay ppl the whole time. how did i miss this. like yeah this was #likely written in the 1920s uses older language (not to mention in my 2nd language) but wow okay #going thru and translating and that just hit me by surprise horribly #I THOUGHT WE WERE TALKING ABT INDUSTRY AND NATURE #okay i think ive recovered from the shock there i need to finish actually 7nderstanding this so i can write the paper i put off so ling #also 10 points and like a shitty doodle of choice if anyone knows the poem here. #i have an awful track record of following through on these promises but like interested to see if its semi obvious

what series do you think examined motherhood as a role well? im super interested

It is Moral Orel (which is a claymated series from 2006 that I find intriguing for… a number of reasons), and though it did not actually do anything unique with the IDEA of a Mother, within the framework of it being a parody and examination of the staunchly religious white middle class of the era, it affords its female characters the same depth as the male ones and manages to depict how the ideal of Maternity in that culture is intertwined with ruinous expectations of femininity. Bloberta worst wife ever . She places all of her self-worth on wanting to be a traditional domestic servant because of a whole slew of reasons related to alcoholism, growing up in a dysfunctional family, to lacking a sense of self-worth, and the horrible environment she’s enmeshed in. It’s actually really poignant to see her role in her own downfall while the writing maintains how she still cares about her children.

#codeword: no children #its all on youtube. if you want to hurt yourself watching it #beware the first season has a few product of its time jokes (mainly the rape joke episode) but on the whole? #ridiculously well-written and sensitive about its subject matter for the time. ESPECIALLY for the time. #adult awim shut it down because it got too progressive basically lol #jin responds

[jamietxrtt]

look i really liked the last episode but i feel like i have to say. the whole ‘just forgive them and move on! that’s the best revenge :)’ scene really made me cringe

#does not feel right #look i love the show but every time somebody says its progressive im like ‘…really?’ #just wrote a huge long post abt how the show mishandles social issues and how i feel about it #(spoiler: im conflicted) #but it hit the tag limit and im too scared to post it anyway so #but yeah. i appreciated the effort for trying to showcase this real important issue in the last ep #but the resolution was a miss for me #which like. makes sense. of course the COMEDY written by a majority white writers room #doesnt give a topic as huge and sensitive and all-consuming as racial injustice #the time and weight and focus it deserves #of course they dont. theyre treating it as a subplot in ONE episode of their comedy show #they were never going to give it the time and focus it deserves #but it still makes me cringe #idk idk i just felt like i needed to mention it #the show is great at deconstructing toxic masculinity #and dismantling logical fallacies present in straight while male communities that lead to an obsession with masculinity #but once the show leaves that narrow bubble of audience it focuses on… woof. things get rough #ted lasso spoilers

“um why would eliot spencer be so sensitive to abused kids if he hasn’t been abused” maybe bc he grew up around ppl who were or maybe just because hes a good guy damn

#eliot is very independent and doesnt seem like hes strongly seeking out the approval of authority the way an abuse victim does #so no i do not think that his trying to reconnect w his father was him trying to reach out to his abuser #why isnt he sensitive to race issues then uh cuz this show was written by white people #everytime leverage has talked about race its sucked sorry #van gogh job was mid #ANYWAY the episode w eliots dad was good and made total sense for his character #and im glad they did it and the ppl who were like 'um why are we retreading eliots trauma out he Solved It' were wrong #love to be the person with the best takes on leverage GOD bless
