i love the end actually it's so so fascinating

just thinking about how it immediately introduces itself as the arbiter of order.... it being a representation of death, its goal being to instill "peace" by annihilating all life....

like. ok. if it is "order", is "death", then that would mean chaos is life, right? its antithesis. the emeralds. sources of great catastrophes, but also grand miracles. they are equal parts beautiful and terrifying. they are life. life is messy, is painful, is unpredictable, it evolves and changes and grows. death is nothingness. the absence of all sensation, of all emotion. stagnation. none of the bad, but at the cost of all of the good. technically, "peace".

the end refers to itself as one of the living. i think, if it were to succeed in wiping out all life, it would then willingly destroy itself. it wholly believes in what it says. it isn't evil for the sake of being evil, from its perspective it's a saviour. doing what it sees as "necessary".

#its philosophy is so so interesting man #like its. nihilism #it doesnt see the point it is confused by life's desire to continue through hardships #chaos and order and life and death aaaaaaa......... #it deserved better execution #like they could've done something with this to show how destructive this mindset of thinking everything is pointless is #how its not true and life IS worth it through all the highs and lows #have sonic open its eyes to the reality that life is precious #theres hints of that as it dies #'is this the beginning of evolution? i see... so that is what life is' #paraphrasing but yea #goshhh its so interesting okay #sonic frontiers the end

paraphrasing this from Fathoms Deep, A Black Sails Podcast: "an offshoot effect of Flint's emotional manipulation that he does to people all the time having a trend of helping people widen their world and find new versions of themselves that are grander and larger and more powerful and possibly more, personally fulfilling"

nothing on my mind except “i promised no more poetry / you are still the first person i want to share new things with” and “throw myself mouth open into the ocean for the chance to drown somewhere you can see it” and “i am afraid i’ll love you forever and we will never be in the same room again” and “love i realized is something your spine memorizes” and “it doesn’t always have to hurt but it always hurts me” and “i promise i will try to stay on my side of the couch” and “i wish i never figured it out that i love you it’s only been a torment” and “i just can’t say it out loud” and “i swear three blocks away they can smell the smoke”

#paraphrased most of these but yea #the i am afraid ill love you forever and we will never be in the same room again hits so bad #sometimes i still imagine you somewhere impossible #sometimes you are right beside me #sometimes i want to be right beside you #sometimes… sometimes sometimes sometimes #most of the time #ugh love is disgusting. #pa

Apart from being an appreciated, though however brief touchup on the concept of altruism as a type of behavior not purely exclusive to humanity (an analysis for another day) I truly think that Youpi may be an initial spin on the “powerful nen user with impeccable intellect” trend.

Within the world of hxh, every nen user worth their salt has been incredibly intelligent and demonstrative of the fact that they have at least more than a couple brain cells to rub together; from Kurapika to the adult Zoldycks to the Phantom Troupe and Genthru, the list goes on. Pitou and Pouf and Meruem as well, follow along this line, with the sole exception to their family being Youpi.

And sure; every skillful nen user has been shown to possess their own varying levels of wit, but Youpi is perhaps the first in a long line of users who’s been demonstrably shown to be straight up dumb. Like, can’t-tell-the-difference-between-Pouf-and-Pitou’s-en-type dumb. His opponents (Knuckle and Morel) even call him out on this to his face.

I once again point out the apparent with this neatly falling in line with his personality being a direct contrast to Pouf and Pitou’s for the first half of the arc (y’know, before he goes batshit berserk with rage). Both are scheming and calculative whereas Youpi sits around all day and must ask questions in order to get answers. He receives information painfully at face value and his thought process is consistently linear and straightforward in a world where being quick witted can mean a difference between life and death. He is only able to survive as long as he does, in part due to the fact that the title of “royal guard” actually meant a little bit of something in his particular situation, and that sometimes strategy is moot in the face of raw power. In spite of this, his circumstances end up forcing him to seek new tactics and adapting when push comes to shove.

If I'm able to say that Togashi’s divergence from the overpowering, scheming mastermind in this instance is played particularly well or interesting? Hard to say, especially when we weren't given enough time with the royal guard (I say this as I am biased), but I find his evolution and progress as someone who could hardly be trusted to tell his right from his left or tie his own shoes (if he ever wore them) to a character fully capable of deducing Meleoron’s ability and keeping his calm whilst doling out instructions to Pouf in a dire situation as something really charming.

#is this a bit of a reach? maybe #a while back (maybe a couple months ago) i saw some1 mention that they cldnt fathom any reason as 2 why togashi made youpis personality #the way it was; in contrast 2 pitou & poufs #(paraphrasing here) #& i cldnt help but think: what if togashi briefly grew bored of making all of his powerful nen users hyper-intelligent mini masterminds #so ive been sitting on this for a while now #menthuthuyoupi #youpi #also yea im aware personality isnt the same as intelligence but in this case i want 2 say youpi being earnest simpleminded & straight4ward #goes hand in hand w him being dumb in the 1st half of the chimera ant simply put #my txt #rg

yesterday i was thinking about a tldr to the prisma info megapost i have in my drafts and i don't remember much but the last sentence was "and 10 years later im going insane about her - wiki empty, nothing archived. what's there not to love."

Don't mind me just dropping receipts of JK Rowling engaging in holocaust denial~ Tee hee! :3

https://youtu.be/whJJGqVtkEk?si=aN1HXEfuR7BgxmgY

so i’m 1 minute and 16 seconds into the video and this man is saying that the fact jkr is expressing shock in the first tweet is due to the nazis burning books abt sex reassignment / gender

and not due to being basically called a nazi for being a feminist

let’s continue shall we

okay 5 minutes in and he still hasn’t proven that she was denying nazi book burning and not just ,, balking at being called a nazi, which is a serious fucking accusation

no sir (5:30) the “only good faith reading” of this tweet isn’t that she’s ignorant it’s that she’s taking offense to someone saying she follows nazi beliefs

(6:28) being opposed to the medical experimentation being performed on gnc people is not “being aligned with nazis” it’s called a nuanced issue that people come to separate conclusions on for different reasons. feminists are anti-porn bc we see it as rape on tape. conservatives hate porn bc they think women should never have sex. vaguely similar conclusions, completely different motivations and arguments.

(7:12) simply calling lgb alliance an “anti trans lobbying group” is a bit disingenuous lol

(7:59) y’all are abt to downplay eugenics and sexual inversion theory aren’t u

(8:35) yep

(8:52) still haven’t convinced me she said the book burning never happened

(9:45) a quick dig at the guy’s appearance, great, totally normal

(10:16) has this man never heard of paraphrasing as a way of making a statement more concise. jesus fucking christ

(10:30) ok the smallest possible acquiescence to paraphrasing as a concept

(12:00) yea he was definitely racist and a eugenicist :/ we’re not gonna dwell on that tho <3

(12:45) actually we’re actively going to downplay it <3 let’s just call him vaguely “problematic”

(13:32) or because he believed gay people were “born in the wrong body” — that lesbians were secretly part male (hence the searching for sperm), and the opposite for gay men

(14:09) so ur telling us what he ACTUALLY meant. like owowowoow it’s a dog whistle don’t listen i did all the thinking for u type shit

(14:51) is vaginoplasty not a form of sterilization. ur cutting the patient’s balls off aren’t u. so like. ? but i do concede to this one minor point.

(15:27) “yea he was a horrific torturing nazi. but like. not in the way u specifically said so this is all wrong.” so he was the guys coworker and he was a nazi doctor. just not this exact fucking way so it’s all moot??

(15:58) and now he’s directly comparing jkr to a real life nazi again. for making tweets he doesn’t like.

(16:40) STILL not convinced that she was referring to the book burnings as the fever dream

(17:17) THATS NOT SHIFTING THE GOALPOSTS THATS SOMEONE ELSE TRYING TO CONTINUE THE ARGUMENT AND FAILING BRUHHHHH sry someone pulled an argument out of their ass and jkr responded to that nonsense instead of the exact tweet u still seem to wanna talk abt. sorry conversations continue without u. someone ELSE shifted the goalposts FOR u.

quick timeline for ur benefit

> someone: ur basically a nazi

> jkr: what fever dream did u get that from

> someone else: yea trans ppl were literally the first victims of the nazis and every single piece of info on trans ppl was burned

> jkr: what

> someone ELSE: books on transsexuality were burned (something she didn’t deny, just put into historical context that y’all don’t like)

> jkr: are u not gonna mention the person that is doing actual holocaust revisionism here

> malcom: agreed?

(18:37) tweet didn’t say “this book burning was the first act against transsexuals” it said “trans ppl were the FIRST VICTIMS of the nazis” that’s u shifting the goalposts babygirl

(18:50) now ur claiming she said dora never died girl she wasn’t even brought UP in the CONVO

(19:21) but it is the view that this one specific person, whom jkr is specifically rebuking, holds

(19:47) girl this is what i’ve been saying this whole time. normal ppl don’t like when u call them nazis. they may even call ur logic a “fever dream.” weird huh

this is pissing me off fr how dare u call someone an actual nazi holocaust denier based on ur sickeningly bad-faith reading of their fucking TWEETS

(21:05) literally what ur doing right now

also can i point out that the reading of the tweets in such a pissy contemptuous tone of voice is of course going to make someone’s arguments sound stupid. half of ur “proof” here is her tone and what you think she’s saying, not her actual written words.

(21:31) nice actual nazi dog whistle

(21:33) i don’t trust eli erlick bc he is a rapist. he rapes fellow trans people. but carry on i guess.

(21:37) much of what ur referencing is compiled by someone who has raped trans people. great.

(21:50) transvestites are not the same as todays trans people. but carry on i guess.

this is wearing me out man

(24:47) yes absolutely visibly gender nonconforming people were persecuted and tortured and even murdered. a number of them likely experienced dysphoria and may have undergone surgery. does that mean all of those people would identify as transgender if they had that terminology? the citation continues to refer to these people as both transvestites and transgender, as if those are equivalent interchangeable terms. i don’t remember what source this is from. was this passage written by eli erlick, or by an actual holocaust historian?

(26:38) so now we’re actively equating the terms transvestite and transgender. this youtuber simply claimed that the two are the same without proof. i call presentism.

(28:47) gay men were referred to as homosexual. “Homosexuell” (“homosexual”) which is a direct synonym of gay. “transvestite” is not a direct synonym of transgender.

(29:16) miriam ezagui is an orthodox jew who describes her life and her jewishness. she has addressed the role of goblins in jkr’s works, saying that the history of them in folklore may be rooted in antisemitism, but jkr’s characters are goblins. not jews. she describes it better than i do idk find her account.

30 minutes in and we’re defining holocaust revisionism and denial. ok man

(31:32) is that a feminist or just a random dipshit on the internet

(31:43) is that a feminist or just a random dipshit on the internet

(31:46) is that a feminist or just a random dipshit on the internet

(32:27) yep

all done

not convinced. calling someone a holocaust denier is a serious accusation, and this entire video is all either actively choosing to believe she is saying something that she didn’t or taking offense at history being complicated and not fitting into your current worldview.

the nazis targeted jewish people, people of color, the romani, homosexual men, political dissidents, and people who were transvestites. likely more groups of people that i forgot to list. would some of those people identify as trans today? maybe. but you cannot decide that for them.

nazis committed disgusting atrocities at a scale that’s practically unimaginable. and to call a woman a nazi or a holocaust denier because of the way you read her tweets is sick.

#it’s 1am so if this is hard to follow that’s why
