Anytime someone says they like all music genres except for rap it's very clear to me that their understanding of rap music starts and ends at the billboard top 100s. There's plenty of rap and hip hop artists who have lyrics about deeper topics and experiment with new sounds, but they largely go unnoticed because capitalism favors vapidness and unoriginality in artistic expression. And that isn't exclusive to rap or hip hop genres either. They're just the genres that get the most shit for it because they're predominantly black.

#also so many of these ''except for rap and hiphop'' losers will make an exception for Eminem #so that shows you where their priorities lie #there's nothing wrong with enjoying popular music but expand your horizons #please #don't just accept the art that's being spoon fed to you #see queue later

fusion aus (literal) (as in aus where characters can fuse steven-universe style) are the funniest aus in existence. not bc of the concept (concept is super cool and if you know me you know i go wild for em) but bc YOU CANNOT SEARCH FOR THEM ANYWHERE

hey rq what do you search for if you want a fic set in an alternate universe that's a mashup of that canon and the canon of another universe. "Alternate Universe - Fusion"

what do you search for if you wanna see a fusion au. "Alternate Universe - Fusion"

there is NO WAY to find fusion aus in this economy we gotta start calling them merge aus or something

#fusion au #ive made fusion aus for media you havent even HEARD of #ive made fusion aus for media with like two characters total #ive made fusions of OCs from wildly different media #it's so fun #(“i can imagine anything” meme) i can make a fusion au out of anything #axolspeaks #eyeoftheaxolotl #see queue later

don't cry, okay? listen to me:

Rouge has really big ears, okay?

Look at them from the back and side, too - they're satellite dishes. This is helping.

They might be bigger than a whole resort, yeah?

They're so big she can hear pearl necklaces, do you understand?

They're so big she could fly with them if she didn't already have wings. Remember that. Have some more.

Your problems may feel big, but compared to her ears, they are small. You feel better now.

a meme almost outed me to my conservative Mother - a rant

WARNING: If you're triggered by mentions of religious content, don't read. Also, this is a long rant/explanation. Be warned.

Okay, a bit of background context first.

I (16f), myself, am Christian. I was baptised by choice (shocker, I know) at the age of four, I volunteer my summer holidays at Church-organised charities around the city, and I run a Bible study group at my school. This was all encouraged by my Mother, who comes from a family of refugees who migrated during the conflict in the 70s-80s in Southeast Asia when she was 6. They received aid from a Christian-run charity when they got back on their feet and struggled to adjust to western society, hence my Mother's family's complete devotion to Jesus. My grandmother, who can't speak English, routinely prays for the entire family and is reportedly very proud of my role as captain/leader of the Bible study group. My aunt gave me a devotions book for my birthday last year, and her daughter (my younger cousin) attends Bible study with me at school.

Very Asian + very Christian = a very, very conservative family (in most aspects, but not all). However, my family doesn't know that I am bi (except for my moderately-left Father and another cousin). This causes a few issues.

My Mother isn't hateful, per se, towards the LGBTQ+ community, but she's still homophobic. She views queer identities the way most view depression; a mental condition one can work to get out of with therapy, time, support, and most importantly, prayer. (She doesn't view depression like modern-educated people might, though, so I don't know how that analogy really sticks.) And whenever something LGBTQ+ related happens on the news, she often will launch into an unstoppable lecture about homosexuality & sin while my Father and I inwardly groan.

Those lectures haven't been completely directed at me since she thinks I'm straight because I used to have a boyfriend (which luckily quelled her suspicions). (he broke up with me around the time I came out to my friends, but that's another story for later).

anyway, onto what ACTUALLY happened.

Earlier that day, because it was the first of June and therefore PRIDE MONTH, I posted the meme to my private Instagram story with the added caption ''happy pride month. capitalism, amirite", like a regular teenager. 

Closed the app. Didn't think much of it. Saw some of my queer friends liking my story, but nothing else.

I get home, drop my bag off downstairs, and go upstairs to nap.

First mistake.

There's a rule in my household that we leave electronics downstairs/away from our bedrooms. I came home from school, completely worn out and went up to my room without remembering to take my phone out of my pocket. I flop down for a quick nap. Half an hour later, my Mother noticed my phone isn't in its usual charging spot. She told me to bring it downstairs so she's sure that I'm not pretending to nap while messing around on social media.

Groggily, I gave my phone to her without thinking. You know, Christian + Asian obedience that's been drilled into me and whatnot. I went back upstairs. Nap again.

Normally, my Mother trusts me often to not snoop through my phone. But this time, after fifteen minutes, curiosity got the better of her, and she used this opportunity to snoop through anyway to see if I'd been off-task and not lying in bed exhausted.

Thanks for trusting me, Mother.

She opened my Instagram, which I stupidly didn't log out of. Opened my story. Is very confused because she doesn't understand meme culture. Saw the phrase "LGBTQ people". FREAKED out and called me to come downstairs. She demanded to know why her good Christian daughter, child of Jesus, daughter of Heaven (it's a Christian thing, I'm not that full of myself), captain of the Bible study group, would even think about such things.

I wake up from nap mode due to the sheer panic.

I "explained" that I downloaded the wrong meme (a marvel post) and meant to send that one to my friend, and reassured her with repeated "No, mother, I clicked the wrong one, whoops; no, it's not that; yes, I still believe in Jesus; yes, I still like boys; no, I'm not going to let boys distract me; no, you don't need to send me a homophobic sermon on Youtube again" (I didn't explicitly say the last part, but you know what I mean). Regardless of her technological competency, it was sort of believable since sending a post to a friend versus sending it to a story works the same way. Luckily, the post directly below the story bar on Instagram was about a free dress pattern, not another pride month meme. It supported my case. No LGBTQ+ here, Mother, I'm your good Christian daughter who loves sewing. She still gave me the lecture anyway. It was about halfway through her saying that I "need to be a good example and not promote the gay agenda, we love them but we don't tolerate their lifestyle", that I successful distracted her and escaped via homework.

sorry for the info dump, but I really need to get this off my chest. I wish I could be a normal teenager where a FRICKIN MEME doesn't make threaten my entire relationship with my Mother.

I love her (don't doubt that, I know that she's been through so much in order for me to even have school work to be worn out by), I love Jesus, but I can't stand this anymore.

"Oh no, someone's attracted to the aesthetics of my -punk movement but doesn't know the praxis and history behind it like I do--"

OK. Tell them. Make it a teaching moment. Everyone who's in your movement learned the background from somewhere at some point, maybe this is that point for that person. Give them a jumping off point that they can dive into later.

"Oh but I shouldn't be responsible for teaching baby -punks about the history and the how-tos and--"

OK. Then don't tell them. You don't have to be responsible for teaching people with a budding interest in your group the ins and outs and how-tos. That's fair and valid! It can be a lot of work. Someone else will handle it

"But I'm annoyed that they would try to claim to be part of/be interested in my community without knowing all the details that I know after being in it for months/years/decades, they're dumb, they're posers, they're--"

OK. Then don't engage with them, if it's that bad. Maybe someone else will come around and tell them the history, maybe they'll pick it up on their own, maybe they'll just enjoy the fashion elements for awhile.

"But they shouldn't claim to be part of the -punk community if they don't know the--"

I feel like we have a few options here. People can either talk to them, share the history, share the values, share the praxis. Or they can just chase off anyone who even thinks about dipping a toe in their community, and then wonder why it's dying off later down the line.

I dunno, maybe I'm too naive and patient or whatever. But if people are entering your -punk spaces without knowing The Rundown of what you feel they need to know, maybe being nice about it and informing people instead of immediately assuming stupidity and malicious intent could help you make a new friend. Even the loudest voices in a space had to learn from somewhere, and not everyone has the luxury of being in the space as the History was Happening--whether it's an age thing or a not being aware of the space thing. Or maybe I just don't see what the big deal is behind people hating people who like the aesthetic of something and don't know the behind the scenes history about it yet.

Because I believe in the word 'yet.' No one comes into this world knowing everything about everything, and we're all constantly learning new things. I'm not gonna degrade someone and call them a poser for not knowing what I know. Because if it were me, interested in a scene but getting chased out and called a poser? I wouldn't hit the books and study up, I'd go 'that fuckin sucks, those people sucked' and then avoid anyone and anything having to do with it.

So chase people off and call them posers if you want. But if your community starts dwindling, don't be fucking shocked.

i am definitely the only person who cares about this but I was re-reading parts of Sea of Monsters (irrelevent as to why) and. in the chariot race. well, a.) The Ares cabin has skeleton horses. where did they get skeleton horses? and then, actually more confusingly, b.) almost all the other chariots besides Hephaestus cabin (they have automatons) have normal horses. not pegasi. Percy actually specifically identifies the Apollo chariot’s horses by breed which is very funny to me because Of Course He Would but like. We never see CHB have normal horses at any other point in time? Where did they get the horses?

#pjo #percy jackson #riordanverse #chb #Camp Half-Blood #camp halfblood #WHERE DID THESE RANDOM NORMAL HORSES COME FROM #and what happened to them??? we never see them again? #did they just like. borrow the horses from some place nearby or something #which just kind of raises further questions of if they did why are these horses trained to pull chariots #actually just in general how are these horses trained to pull chariots even if they are from chb #cause they hadnt done chariot races in ages and so presumably there was no reason for them to train them to do that again #it was just kind of a spontaneous decision thing and its not like Percy had to talk all the horses into participating or anything #because he was kind of busy at that point #though arguably that'd be so much funnier cause then the other cabins could try to blame their losses on Percy #by insisting that he *bribed their horses* #i have more notes about random details from sea of monsters that i will get into later someone remind me #im gonna queue this so just whenever this posts someone poke me or something

[wovenstarlight]

and another rant i have built up over jinjae is their everything around food. the first instance i can remember is the courtesy chocolates SHJ brings HYJ after the Babar dungeon, when he's in the hospital (chapters 80/81), which he says is for HYJ due to the stress he must be feeling over HYH. and then immediately kills any goodwill in the very next sentence by going Wowww you're so useful and i'd love to acquire you etc etc. HYJ's not even the one who accepts them from SHJ, that's BYR, and later HYJ says he only eats them because he has nothing better to do (no other option than SHJ, huh...) and even then the Dokkaebi ends up eating half the box. gift that's barely accepted.

the next instance i can think of is post-human trafficking auction in chapter 127 where SHJ makes him eggs, but. well. literally as he's cooking they have this exchange:

(this got so fucking long i had to put it under a cut. takes your hand come with me on this journey)

[SHJ] “I’d like for you to stay unharmed until I grow bored. Mentally, I mean.” [HYJ] “And my body doesn’t matter?” [SHJ] “If your bulk decreases, you’ll be easier to carry around.”

so "i'm making food for you" but also "i don't care if your health deteriorates and/or you lose weight, as long as you're useful". an interesting combination of messages to send, given that HYJ's also struggling in this scene to figure out what SHJ wants from him, what with seemingly looking out for him and his loved ones by lending Sillekia to BYR for fighting HYH, but also still continuing with this "my item" shit and only looking at him for his usefulness. but this instance IS notable in that it's the first time SHJ cooks for HYJ. a slight turning point in their relationship...?

it does seem so cuz after that... HYJ becoming sick of orange- and apple-flavored mana potions because he chugs them so often, and SHJ responding to this in chapter 185 (birthday arc, before HYJ admitted he stole his memories) by acquiring swiss chocolate-flavored mana potions for him. already he's started with the little treats.

and then. sorry i'm feeling the 216 feelings. 1 minute. Okay normal. and then. yes once again it's chapter 216, when SHJ first starts making readably genuine attempts at kindness towards HYJ, starting the entire interaction by making him a drink that "looked like it was just juice, but it was actually sweet. Tasty." normal behavior from SHJ to rent out the entire rooftop pool and bar to show off his bartending skills to HYJ btw.

then the VR dungeon arc, where SHJ can't see HYJ until he installs the first disc, but the moment he does he starts being absolutely unbearable, the relevant part being when HYJ's reached Achates and is stressed out over HYH's treatment to the point of losing his appetite, at which point SHJ sends him the "Must Eat Well" quest to coax him into eating, rewarding him with chocolate-flavored mana potions, which HYJ himself admits remind him of SHJ:

‘But why are they chocolate-flavored?’ It made me think of that person. It had tasted good.

we're told in chapter 249 that SHJ needs to expend tremendous effort to give HYJ quest rewards and that whatever he gives usually gets cut down (he's talking about point conversions there but i suspect it applies to other rewards as well). so to specifically seek out two potions, especially ones he knows HYJ will prefer more than the common fruit-flavored ones... [puts on my large jinjae-shaped sunglasses like that shit they sell for new years]

and ok i jumped ahead to 249 for the rewards thing but come back to 245 with me and look at that series of cooking quests SHJ sent HYJ to guide him through cooking dinner for himself and HYH. copying over my discord messages from when this chapter dropped for this part of the analysis:

ALSO SPEAKING OF SHJ that chain of quests at the end. he is driving me crazy but yes the cooking quests. like. okay. I mentioned before [...] that I considered this a jinjae scene chapter because. the layers of it all right. he sees hyj wants to cook for his brother but can't decide what to make/how to make it cuz the decision paralysis is hitting after the longass day he's had. so he goes ahead and picks a meal and gives him step by step instructions. overly specific so hyj doesn't hit some dumb roadblock like "idk where the spatula is" and lose it for real. it took multiple quests to give the instructions it might've been easier to give him a prepared meal from whatever store he's picking these rewards from but he spent that time anyway because I'm pretty sure going through the process soothed hyj. normality after the Everything of it all. and then at the end of it because he Knows hyj is prone to not eating when he gets stressed he baits him into eating with rewards. like. Bro. Bro like. OUGH. he cares. he cares.... AND ALSO THAT LAST FUCKING QUEST "made with a spoonful of your partner's love" IS NOT SOMETHING THE SYSTEM WOULD SAY SHJ I KNOW YOURE LEANING INTO "OH NO THE SYSTEMS ALTERING MY MESSAGES DW" AND LETTING YOUR FEELINGS SHOW. YOUR PAPER THIN MASK overemotional over cooking. god. god and even after the cooking thing knowing that hyj would freak upon waking up and not seeing hyh and so keeping an eye on hyh and sending him a quest to tell him where he is.... like fuck dude. FUCK!

ok that's enough of that excerpt this is starting to derail from food analysis. wait hold on actually 249's point about the cost of sending quests and rewards makes the cooking quest series even more impactful because how much did SHJ spend to go to that level of detail and care for HYJ!!!

anyway back to food analysis. 256 where HYJ dies to the inscription process and SHJ purposely serves him bitter tea and sweet cookies to point out that he shouldn't take rewards that come at great costs. SHJ you really love communicating things to people through food, huh? but the fact that the second he's understood SHJ takes away the bitter tea and replaces it with something less bitter and more savory. the fact that when the scout finds him, the last thing SHJ does, even after draping his coat over HYJ to protect him from the shards of falling sky, is refill his teacup. the fact that HYJ drinks it and thinks about how it's warm.

GOD!!! do you see my vision. do you see. SHJ and HYJ and cooking and eating as an act of caring. an act of love.
