behold: my least favorite string of words in the entirety of Tears of the Kingdom.

#totk critical #totk #tloz #gerudos #when will my brain return from the imprisoning war.... #I just stumbled upon it again doing research yesterday and.... #there's so many layers as to why it aggravates me #that it's spoken from the perspective of a masked woman as to embody all gerudos while removing her own identity #in the context of her loyalty to rauru as well #that giving birth to a bad man makes you responsible for his actions (he's not a toddler anymore he's an adult ok) #or more metaphorically that your initial conflict with hyrule makes you Sinful and cursed and you must Feel Bad Now *shame shame* #that she's passing on that ageless guilt with no expiration date onto the shoulders of *a teenager* and it's considered GOOD??? #(wind waker shaking crying right now) #ALL OF THAT to prop her up to swear her loyalty to the people planning to go murder their ancient king (sure he's a Bad but still???) #using some sort of weird ass original sin scenario that is arguably not any gerudo's fault but Ganondorf's #(or if it is then it's not shown so ???) #the vibes are so so so off I just really !!!!! don't like #this is stuff like this that makes me reject that it's a good story about alliances being formed in good faith #because this is just manipulative #maybe the alliance angle everyone's stronger together was the intention but the execution is another story entirely #gerudos never benefited from ganondorf's actions also #so it's not even a case of making reparations for the way you benefit from systemic oppression due to your ancestor's actions #gerudos won literally nothing in ganondorf's war #apparently he even subjugated them if they weren't on his side (like.... a king would.... not to excuse it but the double standard here) #so it just instrumentalizes the ageless sin of motherhood + suffering under a bad monarch billion of years ago for war #so uhhh.... yeah that's not... that's pretty bad imo #the gerudo girl could have went “hey girl this man used us and still hurt us to this day let's kick his ass once and for all” #and this would have been a different story entirely #a little cheap but not.... That Bad

Do you think Korekiyo has a wide knowledge of meme culture or is more of a hermit?

okay okay okay I love this ask so much

my personal take on it is that he is VERY knowledgeable about memes but ONLY the outdated ones because he has to know EVERYTHING about them before he starts using them. the poor guy is a walking anachronism of language. all he knows are dead memes. everyone hates talking to him /hj

#Shuichi has to physically stop Kaede from grabbing him by the shoulders and shaking him around like a ragdoll HDVDNDNDNDS #it bothers her SOOO MUCH #meanwhile Kokichi and Miu are basically the ones who introduce him to new ones just by virtue of being bastards #it’s a point of pride for them at this point (everyone else is upset abt it because they get secondhand embarrassment every time kiyo talks) #danganronpa #korekiyo shinguji #korekiyo shinguuji #ndrv3 #killing harmony #new danganronpa v3 #new danganronpa v3 killing harmony #headcanon tag #ask box #anonymous

what's the Galileo tea? 👀 (got any Articles?? this sounds much more interesting than my soil readings lol)

I don't have any good articles on hand, although I think Patricia Fara's Science: A Four-Thousand Year History has one of the better (brief) accounts in as far as summarizing some of the main issues.

The short of it is that Galileo was definitely not the most diplomatic guy around, and also very entrenched in the complex, factional politics of the day -- what we now call the Galilean moons of Jupiter, he originally named the "Medicean stars" in an attempt to flatter the powerful Medici family. He was decidedly interested in climbing ladders, independent of his science, and used the latter in an attempt to accomplish the former, which may be one reason he wasn't opposed to stirring up controversy. It gets you noticed.

There's a whole string of off-ramps that could have prevented his trial, but one of the ones that stands out most to me is the way he chose to present his ideas (which is exactly why all this drives me crazy as a science communicator). In The Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems -- the book that really landed him in trouble -- he presents arguments for both the heliocentric Copernican and geocentric Aristotelian systems through two fictional characters. Which sounds measured, until you learn the character representing the Aristotelian system is named "Simplicio" in what really feels like an elaborate method of insulting anyone who disagreed with him.

Which. I cannot emphasize enough. Up until this book was published, the current Pope had actually been a patron of Galileo's, who permitted him to explore the heliocentric hypothesis so long as it was treated as a thought experiment. Galileo decided the best response to this was to put the Pope's own viewpoint in the mouth of a character named "simpleton" who ended up being ridiculed by the others by the end of the book. Really great move. No one could have forseen this backfiring.

Another thing that isn't mentioned often is that Galileo's trial wasn't a unanimous decision. There was actually some sympathy for his arguments, and for the heliocentric model (Copernicus' On the Revolution of the Celestial Spheres was also controversial -- though some of that controversy was a direct result of the Galileo affair -- but people liked that it was better for calendrical calculations!) and the decision was by no means a totally inevitable one. If he hadn't presented his ideas the way he had, who knows what would have happened. Again, I would never point to a single event as the reason for the religion/science rift that exists today. But at the same time, imagine where we might be if the trial had gone differently.

HE WASN'T JUST DADDY'S BLUNT INSTRUMENT!!!! He was full of love he never got to truly love life!!!!!! It was always family, hunting, mediating between Sam and John, stopping the apocalypse, friends and family dying, more apocalypses, the demons and angels and other creatures the end times bring—he never got to love life, he was always too busy trying to keep the peace one way or another!!!!!!

The punchline of it all is the fact that he did die, so many times actually, met Death and its other forms enough times to know its name and face and how to piss it off!!! And he still never got to love life, he was fucking impaled on a stupid piece of rusty metal before he could even try to be the man that the love of his life saw him as!!!!! Because let's be honest, Cas is a Deangirl first angel second he was biased as hell in that confession speech but he was also right!!!!! It's just that Dean needed to work to get there and be the man with loving hands instead of violent ones but he never got the chance to grow out of it!!!!!!!

More Steve Henderson Au

Steve was out for a month in his senior year. It was right after Billy nearly killed him and Nancy broke up with him. Eddie remembers it vividly, the fall of the king. Most of the school didn’t even realize it when Steve did come back. He was quiet and stayed away from people. He seemed to get his work done and get out. Everyone had something to say about that, most of the rumors came from Billy or Tommy. The strangest thing was the fact that Nancy and Jonathon were talking to Steve. The three of them seemed to be friends.

Eddie had never thought much of it. He didn’t care about the popular kids lives. Who cares if Harrington walked around with a haunted look in his eyes. Who cares if no one can find him even if they’ve been going to his house to check on him.

Which now makes a lot more sense to Eddie as he lays in bed, confused with a tin of cookies on his bedside table. Wayne would eat them all if he put them in the kitchen and Harrington, well now Henderson, could bake, and was Dustin's brother. Eddie still couldn’t figure out that last bit. Honestly how had any of this happned? Well he was determined to find out.

i want to hear the sports anime manifesto

Okay short version:

My life was a sports anime for a bit, and watching sports anime makes me nostalgic for those days.

Medium version:

The typical shonen sports anime deals with themes of camaraderie, ambition, and the intersections of camaraderie and ambition, which ALWAYS hits me right in the chest.

I'm not an ambitious person by nature, but--you know that one poem floating around on here, the one about the moth that wants nothing more than to fly into the flame, and how it would be nice to feel that kind of all consuming passion? Yeah, that's the feeling I get from sports anime.

And often, for the Team Sports anime, you'll get characters who have nothing in common except that they Love the Same Thing--a friendship/rivalry/(romance) formed on the basis of a shared interest. That's sweet as hell!

And they're super predictable and low stress for me. Very easy to watch! Total popcorn shows. Also I like listening to people infodump about their passions. Someone loved their Sport so much they wrote a whole-ass story about it, so yeah, eat that shit up.

Long version:

The Socioeconomic Inequalities of High School Sports

In high school, I was on a crappy underfunded soccer team (with a healthy dose of sexism) and due to [sports league division reasons] the schools we played against were almost exclusively private schools.

I cannot describe how existential it is to be wearing a hand-me-down formerly white-turned-disgusting-gray uniform that's at least five years old when playing against a team that gets brand new windbreakers every season.

(If you've read AAB, YES this is where my obsession with the windbreakers comes from.)

(Hilariously, the guys team got windbreakers but we didn't.)

(I am not over the fucking windbreakers.)

But anyway, when you're constantly losing to private schools you get this fucking complex about it.

This should come as no surprise but like. People with the time and resources to practice their Thing get good at their Thing.

Playing pick up soccer at the park is practice. Playing rec league soccer is organized, repeated practice.

Playing competitive club soccer is all of that, plus a coach who knows How To Coach and What The Sport Is, plus you get morale-boosting uniforms and the chance to play with and against other skilled players. So you're exposed to a lot more, and thus, you learn a lot more.

Competitive club soccer is also Expensive. Rich kids get good.

There's a reason why the "Powerhouse School" is a thing in sports anime, because it's a thing in real life. People with leisure time and money get to invest in their sports development, and everyone else gets left behind in the dust. It's basically a microcosm of capitalism.

The underdog sports story is (quite tragically) bootstraps propaganda. All you have to do is be really good and work really hard and have A LOT OF PASSION to get good at your sport! The cream rises to the top! This is a meritocracy! Let's ignore all the other factors that go into an individual's development as an athlete!

(My brother got scouted for club soccer as a kid. He actually went to tryouts and got offered a spot and a scholarship and everything, but there's SO many hidden fees after the initial registration. Uniforms, equipment, travel and accommodation, tournaments, plus like, the time sink, so we never signed him up. And equipment-wise, soccer is one of the cheapest sports you can play--just imagine the price for something like baseball or hockey.)

In sports anime, there is no reform. There is no revolution.

But sports anime isn't really about that. It's about the narratives we create when we convince ourselves that we deserve to win.

(You know what I mean. Every billionaire is convinced they're some sort of heroic underdog. The same exact kind of 'working your way up' narrative.)

Sports anime is like, the uncomplicated power fantasy of playing the game. It's a world where you are rewarded for your hard work, because it's narratively satisfying. It's a world where it's safe to want things, because you have the exact same chances as the private school kids.

I used to be an obnoxiously competitive child. Then I got all my competition beaten out of me by 3 straight years of constant losing in my clownagerie of a high school soccer team (affectionate). I am going to admit that experience made me a better person and I would not trade it for anything, but I also had to like, relearn how to want things. And maybe real life is not as equal opportunity as the world of sports anime, but I think it's good to want things.

Of course, the winner-loser dichotomy makes sense in sports because of the inherent nature of competition, but it doesn't make sense in stuff like society and economics because that's like, competing over the right to live. That's where the capitalism metaphor ends,

Does sports anime actually go into the socioeconomic inequalities of sports? No. Of course not. Giant Killing never got a season 2.

But it is something I think about when I write sports anime fic. Even if it's not the point, it influences my characterization. The ego of a prodigy character in a shitty sports program is different from the ego of a prodigy character in a rich kid sports program. I am obligated to my amateur attempts to capture the complexities of the high school sports environment in my fanfiction because I am fucking insane I had a specific high school sports experience and they do say to write what you know.

#MEG I SWEAR TO YOU I WILL READ TANGERINE AT SOME POINT #I have so many thoughts about sports anime which is tragic because sports anime is not that deep #it is never that deep #part of the reason why I got so sucked into Daiya is because of the powerhouse school setting #and the fact that Eijun was so obviously lost because he never had that kind of organized system before #people give Seidou a lot of shit for 'not helping Eijun' enough but genuinely it's because he has NO CLUE how to reach out #I poured so much brainpower into Eijun's backstory in my brain it's embarrassing as hell #*shaking fanfic authors by the shoulders* YEAH THE CUTTHROAT COMPETION SUCKS BUT YOU DONT FIX IT BY SENDING HIM TO A DIFFERENT SCHOOL #I also am the only person who understands Miyuki Kazuya (exaggeration) #everyone gives him shit for the Nabe thing and look. yes he was wrong. #but I was once in that same exact situation and responded exactly the same way #Daiya no Ace is not about friendship #it's about Ambition #and people tend to make Eijun the sweet sentimental sunshine friendship guy #but he has JUST as much cutthroat ambition as Miyuki #that's why they work. that's why they understand each other #there's a whole essay I could write about Misawa but it's basically just chapter 18 of AAB #anyway if you want to watch a sports anime that does the Healthy Ambition and the Friendship Thing in the most wholesome way possible #watch Haikyuu. it really is the perfect sports anime. #shame the fanfic is 99% ship because the sports aspect of it is SUPER sweet #asks #jumpstrike #I'm answering jumpstrike but Tav I hope you see this too #lazuli talks #sports anime

#shaking myself by the shoulders gently remember we are scared all the time but thats not something to be ashamed of #and if people actually are mad at us like the paranoia tries to say they are then they should be upfront #with that and communicate with us and tell us what weve done wrong we cant always assume that the paranoia is right about #everyone hating us or being mad at us. and if we feel stupid because of things related to our #brain stuff and autism theres no shame in that either but if someone is maliciously saying were stupid for being autistic then thats #shitty of them and we shouldnt tolerate people treating us like that anymore. when we decide to choose kindness we should #make that choice towards ourselves as well and not allow people to belittle us
