every day the fanon idea that shinomama is abusive and/or neglectful like shinei is ages more and more poorly . like. yeah sorry this family dynamic reads much more like a genuinely kind loving mother who married a man she thought she knew - perhaps at too young of an age - and overestimated his capacity to handle children. and is likely overworking herself to make sure her babies feel loved despite HIS neglect and harsh words. she's been shown to be nothing but kind, and the fact that some people take her kindness and either ignore it or turn her into a copy of mafuyu's mother is a little ...

i won't say it's explicitly misogynistic but it's probablyyyy worth examining why you saw shinei's abusive behaviors and started automatically attributing them to shinomama by virtue of her being married to him

#bit of a sore subject here #my mom wasn't perfect but i think i'd kill anyone who even Tried to insinuate she married her first husband because they were both #violent abusive alcoholics. like i'm fucking sorry? No. #not saying that shinei is an alcoholic btw i'm just saying that like #assuming that his wife must agree with the way he treats ena and akito and behaves similarly herself because they are married #i fucking hatebthat shit. shut up

there is a world of difference between "this person was fired for supporting palestine" and "this person was fired for being a raging antisemite" and you do in fact need to actually look at what that person said to determine which it is. it sets a dangerous precedent to consider any support of palestine inherently antisemitic but it is just as dangerous to excuse antisemitism under the guise of supporting palestine.

#text #this isn't even just about celebrities either like there was some post going around a while ago that was outraged about some doctor #which literally included a screenshot of his post where he praised hamas for october 7th? #and tbh if you are both a) cruel enough to celebrate a terrorist attack and b) stupid enough to post that under your real name and face #then yeah! fuck around and find out #you can't just read a headline and assume the comments that got them fired were blown out of proportion by the (((media))) #but you also can't assume that they must have been fired for literally agreeing with hitler either #you need to read what they actually said and determine for yourself whether it was warranted or not #also related to the online outrage around the celebrities signing that letter about wanting hamas to release the hostages #calling everyone who signed it a genocide supporter for. literally wanting hostages released. #and wanting israelis and palestinians to be free to live in peace. anyone who signed that letter is now an evil genocidal zionist apparentl #because people didn't read the letter themselves and just assumed that must be true! #i/p #antisemitism

I'll never be able to take the theory that Vincent is Sephiroth's real father seriously cuz I cannot stress enough how important I think it is to the plot that Vincent wanted to fuck Lucrecia and did not get to.

#once again i jest but now i have to actually talk about it #like. okay we have no proof of any actual timeline for the dirge flashbacks other than. it was at least 30 years ago #so who knows how long they were at the manor. could have been weeks before The Incident. or months. or maybe a full year! who knows #but to me a timeline of like. they fucked and like a week later vincent found The Evidence and lucercia had her little breakdown #AND THEN EXTREMELY QUICKLY SHE AGREED TO THE EXPERIMENT AND IT COULD GO ONE OF TWO WAYS #1. she knew she was pregnant and thats why she agreed to the experiment cuz there was already a usable subject #and therefore she must have fucked hojo like a week after she fucked vincent AND THATS STUPID FAST FOR THESE EVENTS #or 2. she didnt know. agreed to the experiment. fucked hojo. and therefore thought seph was hojo's and NOT vincent's #AND BY THE WAY. i dont even actually believe hojo fucked either!!! cuz theyre both scientists so why wouldnt they think IVF was the best way #okay. well.... hojo is canonically a fucked up little freak. so. he might have taken the opportunity to... get in there. #also when did ivf even start being a thing? cuz that may play a factor into this if nomura even considered that #well either way lets just unfortunately assume hojo got in there #ITS STILL AN ODDLY FAST TIMELINE #also. fuck man doesnt lucrecia have a later line in dirge where she actually says shes in love with hojo? or something along those lines #IMPLYING ITS BEEN AWHILE SINCE SHE HAD THE FALLING OUT WITH VINCENT. YOU WOULDNT FUCK THE GUY AFTER ALL THAT SHIT #AND WHILE CLAIMING TO LOVE/CURRENTLY FALLING IN LOVE WITH HOJO!!!! LIKE CMON MAN!!!! SHE SUCKS BUT SHES NOT THAT KIND OF A MESS #i dont think vincent would fuck her until they sorted out their issues anyway and that CLEARLY didnt happen. #its VITAL that that did not happen!!!! #its just. if vincent and lucrecia fucked. everything would have had to happen EXTREMELY fast within like a 2 week timespan #and im just talking about up to when vincent learns shes partaking in the experiment. it was probably another week or two until vincent died #SO. logically it must have been like #fall in love->learn about the gimoire incident->refuse to speak to vincent->get obsessed with hojo->fall in love(?) #and then thats where i think its ambiguous on did the experiment become an idea before or after seph started to exist? #like chicken or the egg ya know. experiment idea or sephiroth zygote? #that feels fucked up to say. im so fucking sorry to seph to talk about this. yeah sorry i have to debate who fucked your mom bro #god imagine telling him that. like not even as a reveal thing cuz he knows who his father is. just like as a sick joke. your mom joke. #NO OH M Y GOD I HAVE A QUESTION NOW #in accordance to him having a photo of lucrecia in ever crisis. after he reads that jenova is an ancient (incorrect btw) #does he think that picture is still her? what about when he takes jenova's body from the lab???? #oh my god 30 tag limit. FUCK. i need like a rant blog for all this vincent talk now. my brain is going a mile a minute

like seriously whatever you do dont think about the captain and that story about someone calling into gay bars and not saying anything, just listening to queer people living and laughing and having fun. definitely don't think about the captain doing that. haha.

#both during his life and in death #i just looked it up and the 1930s british queer scene was beautiful like jazz age stuff #the idea of the captain just discretely privately calling into places he's heard rumored to be queer #just to listen to the saxophone over the static of the telephone and know that there were gay people living and loving somewhere #and then to think about him missing that EVEN MORE in death because now he cant LEAVE #he cant hear rumors from people he cant call in #imagine the favors he'd have to owe julian to dial a number and let cap listen to the receiver without knowing what it is #like of course julian wants to know and he pesters him. but when cap is Deadly Serious and scared and sad. #a face julian's never seen. he winds his jokes down and agrees to do it #making cap think it was his idea- 'a bit of charity for the old walrus then'- instead of a deep understanding and love #and since its been decades of course the number he calls isnt a gay club anymore. maybe it doesnt even connect #and it breaks his heart and it takes him another decade to gather intel and the nerve to ask julian again #but when he does he finally gets a place and the phone quality is INCREDIBLE he can hear so much #he can hear people and their upbeat music and their laughter and their love #and he cries #and if julian sees it and pretends not to then its so that he can have the blackmail later thank you for asking #anyway im making myself emotional #bbc ghosts #EDIT Becuase then when julian overhears he tries subtly to make the captain feel more comfortable #bc julian is an asshole but he's not homophobic i mean he fucks everyone #so he tries to pepper in more stories about men but that just makes cap uncomfortable #and hes frustrated bc he cant think of anything else to do other than flirt with him but thats a bad idea #but then he remembers that he went to bars and places and maybe he'll like that #so he 'accidentally' dials some clubs he knows were cool and leaves the phone off the receiver for cap to find #and cap just gives him a curt nod and a clearing of his throat and they Dont Talk about it but they Know

"how can you be an animorphs fan and support Israel?"

I don't know, how CAN I be the fan of a book series talking about kids being forced to grow up too fast due to being a part of a war that has been going on for longer than they're alive, trying to defend their home against an invading force?

Seeing how this situation affects their mental state, world view and relationships with each other? Not being able to fully trust anyone else because they can turn out to secretly wish for your demise?

How can I be the fan of a series that mirrors the way I grew up, of feeling scared and lost and small but knowing that you have to keep going because there's no other way?

Knowing that the other side has people who are like you, who never really wanted to hurt anyone but are being forced to fight too, who were brainwashed from birth to not see people like you as people?

Knowing that innocents die in war, that cruel, messed up, unjust things happen in wars but not seeing another way forward?

Wanting to save your loved ones who are now being kept hostages?

YEAH I HAVE NO IDEA WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD I, AN ISRAELI PERSON, BE AN ANIMORPHS FAN?

#animorphs: there's no black and white but sometimes you have to fight to protect the people you love #people on tumblr: ISRAEL BAD PALESTINE GOOD #Hey remember how every time the animorphs kill a hork bajir controller #they kill both an innocent hork bajir hostage and a yeerk that is threatened with starvation by their superiors if they won't fight? #remember how most taxxons only agreed to collaborate with the yeerks because they feel like being puppets is better than constant hunger? #remember how Serrow only wanted to do something good but ended up causing an intergalactic war? #remember how as early as book 6 Jake didn't blink before boiling alive dozens of helpless yeerks? #remember how the Howelrs who exterminated countless species were merely toddlers playing controlled by a higher being? #REMEMBER HOW ANIMORPHS IS A FUCKING COMPLICATED BOOK SERIES AND EVEN OUR HEROES COMMITED ATROCITIES THAT HAUNTED THEM EVERY DAY? #AND HOW WE STILL ROOTED FOR THEM BECAUSE WE KNEW WHY THEY DID THIS AND WHERE THEY'RE COMING FROM? #HOW MOST OF THEIR ATROCITIES WEREN'T JUST KILLING FOR THE SAKE OF KILLING? #Unlike you know #what Hamas is doing #killing for the sake of killing #sacrificing their own people in the process #brainwashing and treathening their population #Remember how the war is actually a chess game between two larger entities that use everyone else as a peon for the war between themselves? #Hm now that surely sounds familiar #Imagine thinking that a fictional war in a book series for kids is more complicated and morally grey than one in real life #And that you can know everything about it from Twitter and tik tock #Couldn't be me lol

Jaster & Tor

For me, one of the most hilarious and no less furious aspects of Jaster Mereel’s treatment in the sources is how he is hailed as the great figure in Mandalorian history that brought back honor between Mandalorian Mercs and all but like, not getting any real development for over two decades. Sure, he got here and there mini encyclopedia entries and some mention in regard to Jango Fett, but never anything truly expanding his characterization beyond the general image of “good” Mandalorian created by tie-in sources - an image I find a pretty bland one compared to retconned “The Last One Standing: The Tale of Boba Fett” (in which Jaster Mereel originated from) and Jango Fett: Open Seasons comics series.

This is hilarious, because Tor Vizsla got a personal entry in Fact Files - an article biased as hell but still acknowledging both him as character and his impact on Jango & Mandalorians - and a whole section of Bounty Hunter Code for himself and Death Watch. And though I will forever stand with Jango that the Manifesto doesn’t sound much like him (but I like the idea the Manifesto is based on Tor’s notes just edited by someone to be more reader-friendly), there is like 30 pages expanding history and his person while Jaster is once again reduced to small mention here and there. And look, it is hilarious to me that Vizsla and Death Watch is the Mandalorians that Lucas wanted to keep for The Clone Wars, throwing out of window the supposedly great Jaster Mereel and True Mandalorians without any second thought but good damn, it is so frustrating we can’t get any solid material on him even though Bounty Hunter Code was the perfect opportunity to bring him back, as it would make a perfect sense for Jango to keep Jaster’s notes if not the whole Codex.

It is also frustrating because Tor and Jaster are like the two Mandalorians officially writting down important stuff and apparently both were versed in Mandalorian history & lore and I for one would love to compare their notes to get the feeling of middle-ground and see their ideas from the proper perspective not from biased sources that clearly favores Jaster - even if in JF:OS, after making research and interrogating Jango’s allies, Dooku’s only conclusion was that for Mereel Mandalorians were “merely highly-paid soldiers”. Which is hardly the same as bringing work ethic to your group (not that it does cross out the possibility of having actual moral standards, but it does not automatically mean the same). It is frustrating, because we don’t get that often Mandalorians with literary tendencies - hell, we didn’t get any other Mandalorian like that for years because almost everything is about the oral culture which makes Tor Vizsla and Jaster Mereel’s existence even more hilarious, as the two literature nerds that at some point sit down and write their own input - Tor about history and political goals for new members of Death Watch, Jaster about work ethics for True Mandalorians. And it is even more hilarious than that, because Jango Fett presumably read both works and HE DOESN’T READ BOOKS BECAUSE HE THINKS THEY ARE WASTE OF TIME:

Boba's father didn't read much. "Books? A waste of time," he said. "Read maps, Boba. Instructions. Warnings. Important stuff." [Boba Fett Book 1: The Fight to Survive by Terry Bisson]

#star wars #jaster mereel #tor vizsla #jango fett #mandalorians #death watch #true mandalorians #LOOK FOR ME JASTER AND TOR ARE THE OLD GUARD TYPE OF MANDALORIANS #they may not agree on what it is mean to be mandalorian in modern times #they may hate each other #but both at some point decided to write a fucking book-ish type of work #solely to pass it to other members of their group to uphold standards and ideals they believe in #AND THERE IS JANGO WHO DOESN'T READ BOOKS #and he read dw manifesto as can be seen by his comments #and presumbly read jaster's work either to please his mentor or was forced to do so #WE WERE ROBBED #tor and jaster should get more spotlight in books and comics not just some biased tie-in materials #WE NEED MORE MANDO NERDS WHO WILL SIT DOWN AND WRITE THE IMPORTANT STUFF FOR US #AND TO TORMENT JANGO WITH MORE BOOKS TO READ XDDD #but seriously jaster deserves so much better and it seems my new tradition to write a rant about him once in every year or two lol #tor too deserves better #the only more frustrating thing is how jaster tag is now full of jedi and still barely about him but i guess the poor bastard is really #that unlucky lol

it’s been brought to my attention that maybe it’s not common knowledge that in many of the hpcc casts yolly (yann fredericks + polly chapman) are considered canon so I’m here to fix that

#longtime followers will know how long and obnoxiously I campaigned for this 😭😭😭 #worth it for canon yolly!!!!!!! #I am using canon somewhat loosely bc it depends on the cast and the actors but I will also see yolly and if I can’t see it I’ll create it #but for a solid two years at least they were holding hands onstage every night in London #and probably longer in germany tbh #yann and polly #yann fredericks #polly chapman #hpcc #cursed child #harry potter and the cursed child #hp next gen #ccsquad #yolly #also THEYRE BOTH BI #MANY CASTS AGREE ON TAHT TOO #best part about canon bi yolly is that they defy gender #no matter who is playing the characters they hold hands #the day I saw lesbian yolly holding hands for the first time I fully ascended #and gay yolly too that was such a treat #I choose to believe this was my influence bc it lowkey was sorry!!!! at least in the beginning #there’s more btw I just can’t find it bc my photo albums are deeply unorganised #looking at the fucking.

so wait… furina is the name of the archon role that “furina” had to play

wouldn’t make more sense narrative wise to give her a name of her own?? like scara gets his own epic chapter about him ridding himself of his past and adopting a new name then proceed to ignore said name in favor of “hat guy” but the actress playing “furina” doesn’t get to be known for her own name?

like people of fontain (partly maybe) know the truth so why not let her free? let her enjoy the simple human life she so so longed for? even the other furina wouldn’t want this

#i think her story is a better use of the (give character name) mechanic that wasn’t really needed in scara’s arc imo #like yeah it’s cool and all but we literally saw him throw the actual physical manifestation of his past into the fucking void!!! #i personally think it was kind of wasted on him on top of me thinking that idea was entirely stupid to begin with and hyv keeps proving tha #no one actually refers to him as wanderer or by the name they choose online.. its just scara #thats both bad marketing and confusing burying the character away from new players #and like the amount of shit u have to go through as a new player just to name ur weird huge hat angry little dude is just.. #but imagine how impactful such a mechanic would be for ‘furina’ who spent all her live acting a role she wasn’t #at the end of all that agony do u think she could endure hearing people call her by that name?? #unlike scara she did that for the people every moment of those 500 years knowing that the fate of every person is mere a breakdown away #there was nothing in that for her or for a reward she thought deserved.. just suffering on her own #it just makes more sense for her to want a different name a different identity that has nothing to do with that role #and again i think that mechanic is stupid anyway but if it had to happen i’d loved it more with ‘furina’ #or idk give her like a clueless friend she gets to meet that keeps calling her a different name for reasons and her liking the name or smth #maybe give her a different role she gets to play.. or have neuvillette give her a name #same with scara i think it would have been a lot better if he went by a name he choose when all his previous names were chosen for him #i dont see how the entirety of genshin writers and devs agreed to this mechanic being implemented honestly #like traveler is literally there waiting for a single soul to address them by their actual name (the one we choose) but every time it’s jus #traveler traveler.. even their most beloved companion calls them traveler #like that alone should've changed the writers minds bc such a name would 1. either not ever be used or replaced by a nickname #2. the hell devs had to go through to not allow certain phrases and names and 3. the hell both teams will suffer should they add a new char #tl;dr stupid dumb mechanic but they should still give furina a new name #genshin impact #furina #fontaine archon quest #scaramouche

Horikoshi, repeatedly: People are shaped from the environments that they are born in. They are complex and not two dimensional. Some hard times affect others more, and they can lash out in harmful ways. That doesn't mean they're bad people, and that doesn't mean they can't change. Their actions may be reprehensible or unforgivable, but they are still human.

This fandom, time and time again: That can't stop me because I can't read.

#like all of the LOV #the Todoroki family and how they all have their own ways of interacting with the trauma passed down to them #Bakugou's family life and the expectations and bullying from society #Midoriya facing discrimination for being quirkless- from his MOTHER AND TEACHERS NO LESS #Iida trying to kill Stain #Stain's ideology having roots in actuality but still being flawed because of his methodology #you don't HAVE to agree with all of them #but you are expected to SYMPATHIZE with their issues and UNDERSTAND who they are and why they got to that point #you can't condemn Endeavour for his abuse while showboating Dabi's unhealthy reaction to it #they were BOTH a product of their enviornment and they BOTH have seriously hurt people with their actions #you can't support Dabi murdering innocent people and then get mad at Bakugou for being a bully in middle school #you can't support early Shouto for being a dick to the class and condemn Bakugou for doing the same thing #they both grew up in harsh enviornments with difficult expectations. heavy pressue. and a warped view of the world #it's not about who had it better or worse #a cookie is burnt if it's just the bottom or the entire thing is charred #you can get salmanella from chicken that's raw all the way through or from just one piece not being cooked well enough #y'all need to stop supporting character flaws but only in the direction you like #you can't say that Mic supported Uraraka's excellence while saying he was also right to condemn Bakugou #no fucking duh Uraraka's potential ONLY came out because BAKUGOU brought it out (unlike Todoroki freezing Sero whole) #you can't say that Mic's human tics and that his underlying issues are good while saying that Aizawa pushing his trauma aside is bad #bruh they are doing the same fucking thing #I love All Might as a character but I can't support him as a mentor because of the devestating effect he has had on Midoriya #the amount of sheer hypocrisy in this fandom is astounding #that shit goes from sentence to sentence- y'all will literally put contradictory statements right beside of each other and not bat an eye #also stop comparing Bakugou to Endeavour- they have similar arcs of understanding but one of them is a literal child #it's really rude to the Todoroki family to say that their abuser and tormentor is just as bad as a middle school bully :/ #Endeavor growing and changing as a person is one thing you can chose to indulge or support- you can like or hate him #but his arc is specifically ABOUT being shaped by hid environment and how that can affect others (his kids) #not to mention how they all have different ways of responding to the treatment and different feelings about his future #you can't read that shit and keep trying to say 'no there IS a right answer' because there's not.

[prolibytherium]

Making definitive statements about atypical relationship setups being innate warning signs just does not fly for me. Like obviously in full context that 'exclusive fwbs' thing going around is a straight man just trying to fuck a woman without fully committing to a relationship and fully disregarding the latter's feelings and boundaries, and I'd agree that someone asking for a relationship like that SHOULD be treated with scrutiny and great caution, but there are absolutely situations where something of that description could be a mutually positive setup. I'm sorry but it IS entirely context dependent.

I really think it's better to teach people to ask themselves 'Hey what is the person's reasoning for this setup? Is it mutually agreeable and fulfilling the desires and commitment levels of everyone involved or is it a way for one person to benefit at the expense of the other? Are your boundaries and needs well established and mutually communicated, and are these boundaries and needs respected by the setup for this relationship?' etc (which you should be asking in ANY romantic/sexual relationship, even more conventional ones)

That's the actual mature and cautious option there rather than just writing off anything atypical or lacking specific types of commitment as dangerous. In my humble opinion

#I literally had an 'exclusive FWBs' type relationship about a year ago. #It was a setup where both of us found that agreeable because NEITHER of us were able to commit to a formal attempt at a romantic #partnership but agreed to fuck exclusively literally just for safe sex reasons lol. Because (astonishingly) there are reasons to #be sexually exclusive beyond 'this is a committed partnership' or 'weird controlling abusive behavior' #I broke off the FWBs part for entirely unrelated reasons to the relationship dynamic itself. It was amicable and we're still friends #I would enter this exact same kind of relationship again with the right person in the right circumstances

What was the reason for Alpha Dave and Bro training?

Not too complicated a reason really.

Angry kids, shitty upbringing, and a mindset that it’s a dog eat dog world out there. Gotta be tough enough that world won’t grind you to dust, able to defend themselves, and a whole crock of shit along those lines. But hey, it’s served them well, right?
