i'm sorry but this shit annoys me to no end. like this is about heartstopper and you all need to stop acting like that show invented everything.

fucking anyways

1. Koisenu Futari

Show that’s specifically made to be about aromanticism and asexuality as well as how aroace people are perceived by society. They are main characters. That’s the main plot.

2. Heartbreak High

Want a teen show with ace rep? No problem. One of the main characters is ace! Would you look at that! The representation already exists! It's got a ton of other rep too and it's on Netflix but somehow we never got that ace rep yet right? You don't even need subtitles for this one.

3. SkamFr (s12)

Is it a bit too much at times? Ye sure but you know what it also is? Another teen show where the main character is asexual that deals with asexuality as the main theme. And no you don't need to watch all those seasons before to get it.

4. Bojack Horseman

I didn't even watch this one but I'm aware.

5. Cherry Magic

Oh would you look at that a show with main mlm couple where one of the side characters is aroace? I mean surely it hasn't been done before.

6. Run On

You want some casual side character ace rep? Well here you go even kdramas have done it but I guess there just aren't any shows...

Honorary mention to Sex Ed for that one scene.

#asexuality #aroace show recs #aroace shows #i know there is more but these are ones me or my friend watched and we think they are good #alice o*eman would get a stroke over cherry magic because it's ~fEtIsHiSt BL so it couldn't possibly do what she does :// #and yeah i say that as someone who's fav book is radio silence #anyway if you actually cared about ace rep you would look beyond what is served to you by one streaming service goodbye #koisenu futari #heartbreak high #skam france #cherry magic #run on #bojack horseman

Friendly reminder that Merry knew about the Ring before Bilbo even left. Friendly reminder that all of Frodo’s hobbit friends were spying on him through Sam to make sure that he was alright and that he wasn’t going to leave without saying goodbye. Friendly reminder that Merry and Pippin knew about the Ring and its importance to the Enemy and still decided to go with Frodo. Friendly reminder that Frodo wasn’t going to ask them to leave the Shire. Friendly reminder that Fredegar Bolger was one of Frodo’s close friends and knew about the Ring as well, but stayed behind in order to keep Frodo’s disappearance a secret for as long as possible.

#listen the hobbits don’t get enough credit #They’re sneaky bastards and will use that against you in the best ways possible #The ultimate chaotic goods honestly #I love the movies and they are a service to the books #But sometimes I get sad that people don’t seem to get how smart and insightful the hobbits actually are #kiki re-re-re-reads the lord of the rings #the lord of the rings #meriadoc brandybuck #peregrin took #merry and pippin #sam gamgee #frodo baggins #fatty bolger #just yelling into the void

i think one of the most infuriating things about using the Force would be the fact that in order to reach out, you have to instead open yourself up and let it in. you must make yourself passive, in order to be active, you know? to see what is really out there, you have to allow yourself to look, which means pausing and offering up your attention non-judgmentally in order to take in the world before you act upon that information. you have to get yourself out of the way, because when your thoughts and anxieties are in the way, you cannot see past them. they are a shield blocking you from seeing the moment, and a filter that leads to motivated reasoning, seeing what you want to see instead of what is really there.

so in a high stress environment, when there is much on the line (fear) or innocents are being harmed (anger), the ability to actually take a second and put aside those feelings in order to understand the situation better and actually be able to fix things is no mean feat. you have to be able to simultaneously detach so that you can focus and act in the best interest of everyone with full awareness of the risks and benefits, while remaining deeply engaged and compassionate for everyone involved. it's not easy, it's not about ego and glory and pleasure, it's about loving the world enough to be an agent of peace no matter the cost. that kind of altruistic discipline would take a lifetime of study, and i think is so deeply admirable as a concept.

#i love the jedi man im in my feelings again about this ideal of service and harmony #it's beautiful and difficult and not for everyone #but such incredible things are possible with the force #jedi order #sw #sw meta

a few months ago giffy was like "haha hear me out, what if tattoo au" and then we blacked out and talked about nothing else for like three weeks

#my art #one piece tag #zosan #if you've been here since 2012 then a) i'm sorry. thank you for your service. b) PLEASE have a Sensible Fucking Chuckle with me about this #honest to god the ufnniest possible thing that i personally could have done in the year 2023 #if you're wondering what happened in 2012 then please leave that stone unturned. tghank you #anyways this whole thing brings me INSURMOUNTABLE joy ask me any question about anyone and i am sure i will have an answer #we have meanings or reasons for just about everything visible here and uhhhhh soooo so so so much more (ask me questions.. ask me....) #fitting the general fuckbonkers insanity of one piece into a modern au was both challenging (fun!) and INCREDIBLY hilarious #giffy is the funniest fucking person on the planet for coming up with half the situations that we shoved everyone into #(i did these in.. october i think?? maybe earlier? during the time i limited myself to sketches only) #tattoo au tag

Listen I know everyone thinks Dame Aylin is a top but listen that woman is only a top if Isobel WANTS her to be a top. Dame Aylin is exactly the kind of woman that does what her lover wants. Does Isobel want her to rail her into the ground ? She’d carefully go over what Isobel wants in order to not cross a line. Does Isobel want to rail her into the ground ? She’d tie the strap on to Isobel hips herself!

Dame Aylin is going to do whatever Isobel wants and honestly I love her for it

#baldur’s gate 3 #baldurs gate 3 #dame aylin #isobel thorm #aylin x isobel #I personally think that she’s just so fully service oriented that top and bottom mean almost nothing to her #her only actual desire to eat Isobel out for as long as possible #whether Isobel begging for it or Aylin is on her knees means little to her

[houseswife]

yeah your boyfriend peeled you an orange but would he fake his death to make you his afterlife? would black flowers blossom, fearless on his breath?

#see house would absolutely fucking not peel that orange #but only because wilson would never ask #academic citation: (‘You would pick up my laundry if I asked you to’ ‘Go ahead. Ask’ ‘I wouldn’t do that to you’) #as for the opposite scenario #house wouldn’t ever say peel me an orange #he would just wait for wilson to peel one for himself and then steal that #if he ever did ask him to peel one it would be for the exact reason all these girls on tiktok r doing it #I mean he basically already did that experiment with the borrowing money thing LOL #but yeah I think wilson either do it as quickly and efficiently as possible if the circumstances are dire enough for house to be believably #sincere in his request #or he would get innedietly suspicious and interrogate him about what he’s up to #probably both actually #I digress #sometimes an act of service is going down with him hand in unlovable hand #house md #greg house #gregory house #hilson #james wilson #house/wilson #hatecrimes md

yeah, sorry, I can't come in to work today. yeah, I've got to think about how the tv adaptation of the last of us expertly made you comfortable with joel's violence through making you care about ellie enough it all feels justified so that by the time he gets to the hospital, you're genuinely conflicted about the carnage he enacts, some of which may not have been strictly necessary at the level of brutality he carries it out. yeah, it's gonna be all day

#the last of us #the last of us spoilers #tlou #tlou spoilers #joel miller #look #I just have a lot of feelings #and it's possible some people will look at this and be like #'no! it wasn't brutal! joel was protecting his babygirl!' #to which I would say #politely #you may have missed the central point that neil druckmann is always driving at in these games #which is: how much violence is okay in the service of love? #would you kill the world #would you kill any chance you have at having a fully trusting relationship with your child #just to keep them safe #also the way pedro played the whole thing....like sir what was going on in your head I must know!!! #idk if it was bc you're not playing joel #but it felt so much harsher than the game! #in a REALLY interesting way #full compliments to mr pascal #but like..........the clear eyed completely cold stone killer he turned into #the LACK of apparent fear and desperation #like.....what would ellie DO if she saw THAT guy! esp now post david #and the fact that that is the same man who was so careful with her #trying to draw laughs out of her and getting her attention without touching her #bc he knows she's still scared after david #and then the creeping realization that the thing he wanted to save in saving ellie #this burgeoning relationship with this daughter #is already unable to grow from the same place

Back Up Often, Back Up Local.

Hey kids, it's your local elder millenial coming at you live to remind you that anything on a cloud server or a social media network (including this one) is not to be considered secure. If you have artwork or writing you value, back up often, and back up local. Storage space is cheap, get yourself some USB sticks or an external drive and store that shit, or god forbid, if you're lucky enough to have access to an optical drive every so often burn a disc of archived works. There is no promise that an online server you post to will be there tomorrow. I've just learned that ello shuttered overnight and took down all the artwork stored there. It's no big one to me because I store local, but there's a lot of people who are hurting due to the loss, and I've been there kids. I did heaps of really interesting writing and artwork that I published on servers that don't even exist anymore. Even well maintained, well loved servers reach the end of their lifespan and are switched off, decommissioned, and or compromised. Power outages, natural disaster, the works - keep it in your own hands, and you know exactly where it is and what state it's in.

If you have questionable living arrangements or dangerous people around you that make your art or writing insecure at home, the next best thing is to email to a trusted friend and get them to download and store local.

Storing across multiple platforms is better than nothing, I guess, if you don't have that option - so Google Drive and Protondrive, multiple different email addresses (mail them back and forth) and private posts on networks on which you don't usually publish (Dreamwidth is still going strong and is actively involved in fighting restrictive social media laws - they deserve your attention).

If you write in Google docs, for the love of pterry back it up or post it privately somewhere else once it's done.

No one tells the young people, so I am going to - back up often, and back up local. If you live through your art, keep it in your own hands. Do not trust corporations to keep your shit safe for you, and remember - you can never have too many backups.

#public service announcement #back up often #back up local #old lady learnings #i've been on these tubes for long enough that the tube reference makes sense #I got my first email address in a year with a 19 at the front #I've lost more data than I can possibly describe #back up often back up local

I wrote a... fan-recipe? Truly no self control here if we're at the point where a fictional sandwich can take over my brain. Anyway thank you Aabria Iyengar for mashing together my grandmother's favourite summer starter of melon & cured ham and the revelation that was Austrian Tafelspitz marrow on toast.

Check out the winter-summer sandwich rendered by the Messrs. Callum magic cookbots' hivemind here:

Bernard is the one who handles the spiders. Tim can handle many things, but spiders is not one of them

He can’t handle them *well.*

He, of course, protests this statement. C4 and swords stolen from his brother are perfectly acceptable solutions, Bernard

#tim drake #bernard dowd #I’m totally picturing a Bernard that doesn’t yet know their identities #he just sees Tim show up with a sword in one hand and c4 in the other #where’d you get that? he asks #Tim: I borrowed it from damian and Jason #Bernard: #Bernard: yeah okay #Tim accidentally mentions something about the council of spiders #Bernard: I don’t think spiders have a council #oh just you wait Bernie boy #Tim’s going to give your little conspiracy theory heart everything it could ever desire #now I want bernard to find out pretty much everything especially the league of assassins and Ra’s al ghul #but then come to the absolutely wrong-est conclusions possible #Ra’s would have a conniption #Tim would think it was hilarious #Bruce would ask Tim to please stop antagonizing the league of assassins #Tim would flip him off but Bruce put in his token protest so he’s done his duty #Jason would volunteer his services in the continuing antagonizatikn efforts #Steph would be watching all of this with popcorn #sorry I got way off track #I too do not care for spiders and feel like explosions are a valid strategy

can you imagine how obsessed we'd all be with renegade nell if we'd gotten it back during the robin hood bbc/merlin bbc days

#a DREAM come true!!!!!!!! #but now i feel like we're all so scattered amidst the one zillion streaming services that we just can't bond over it #the way we would've in the late 00s as a more united fandom society #dollsome's deep thoughts #renegade nell #this show is like prestige hokey bbc family show fantasy in the most *chef's kiss* way possible

all of the “Hunter has to get a customer service job” posts are hilarious and i love them so please don’t think this is me trying to shit on the concept, i treasure each and every one of them i see, but

real talk? i think Hunter would end up in for real actual human prison if he had to work retail or food service.

Hunter is a former child soldier. Hunter was a high-ranking government official in a dictatorship. the right-hand man to a tyrant who ruled through fear and violence. he spent a chunk of his teens with authority second only to the literal emperor.

the very second that some lady tries to scream at him for not letting her wear new shoes out of the store to her car or someone gets snippy with him for not returning their 3 year old blender or a dude throws a fit because he said “no pickles” but what he meant was “extra pickles, hold the mayo”? Hunter is going to vault over the counter and put them in a headlock.

#also hunter's managers would fucking HATE him in food service bc #he would watch all the training videos. and very solemnly internalize every idiotic corporate procedure #that bears no resemblance whatsoever to the daily reality of the work #and he would follow them all to. the. letter. #someone would try to make him work thru his federally mandated 15 minute break and he would be like 'that's illegal?' #he would stage a coup and take over the franchise. he would unionize the employees in the most authoritarian way possible #the owl house #toh spoilers #hunter toh

All I want is some openly sapphic vampires is that too much to ask

#wwdits #what we do in the shadows #first kill #sapphic #first kill got cancelled after 1 season #I thought wwdits would be the ones to go for it but we’re on the last season and they’ve only mentioned it a couple time in passing #I swear every vampire show is always focused on the men being vampires and the ladies are just there #only get to show their sexuality if it’s in the service of the men #they’ll have the ladies be the coolest possible vampires and the most interesting characters and yet they will always be second to the guys #carmilla came first but whatever I guess

Bi-Han: freedom & enslavement

MK1 story mode:

Kuai Liang: His teaching did not pass with him. They should still guide us. Bi-Han: Guide us, yes. Shackle us, no.

Shang Tsung: I know that you wish to break free of Liu Kang's control...

MK1 Sub Zero Ending:

"I had broken the Lin Kuei free of Liu Kang's enslavement. We were now masters of our destiny and could take our place among Earthrealm's greatest nations."

Sub Zero vs Liu Kang Intro Dialogue #1

Liu Kang: You have forsaken your family. Bi-Han: To free the Lin Kuei from bondage.

Sub Zero vs Liu Kang Intro Dialogue #2

Liu Kang: Come in from the cold, Bi-Han. Bi-Han: And again kneel before you?

Sub-Zero vs Smoke Intro Dialogue:

Bi-Han: I've gained the Lin Kuei's freedom.

Scorpion vs Havik Intro Dialogue:

Havik: You let yourself be Liu Kang's slave. Kuai Liang: An opinion shared by my brother.

#mortal kombat #bi han #sub zero #liu kang #lin kuei #mortal kombat 1 #mortal kombat spoilers #bi han's theme is interesting #in regard to lin kuei serving for centuries liu kang to protect earthrealm #and i think we could make some good parallels between lin kuei and umgadi and their service to fire lord and royal family respectively #but also there is something to say how liu kang always treat sindel and her husband as equal (or as close as it is possible) #but lin kuei aren't treated that way? #just a thought to consider for future analyzing

If the back end of Fullbring arc was good, Rukia would've shown up like this.

#Love the Fullbring arc but everything after the shinigami show up is terrible #still manages to be my favourite arc #It's been a billion years since my last comic #I wanted to cause as much pain as possible if you look at Rukia's laptop #every computer sin I could think of #bleach #my art #ichigo kurosaki #rukia kuchiki #Ichigo I've given you shinigami powers so you can act as my tech support as Squad 12 has blocked me and denied me further service
