i have to say, interpreting laios as someone who’s completely not interested in humans is such a bad takeaway from him. it’s like people didn’t read the parts where he got so excited at anyone sharing his interest, or getting so deeply hurt by people who betrayed him. not to mention his destructive selflessness(“my pain doesn’t matter because falin suffered more than me”)

same as interpreting thistle as a fully grown adult and not someone with a teenage brain and body stuck in a thousand year arrested development, in a story that centers fantasy age dynamics and how it affects people. what a boring interpretation of the themes

Oh sunk-cost fallacy, we're really in it now. We are in fact so really in it that if we quit now then everything we did would have all been for nothing and so we have to keep going in

The best quality a fictional man can have is being deeply, pathetically, wretchedly in love with someone, I think

You should make zionists uncomfortable btw

Keep talking and bringing up Palestine

Advertise that you and everything about you is pro Palestine

Make sure nobody can even entertain the idea of ignoring Palestine

Are you part of a fandom? Draw pro palestinian fanart (and link resources)

Go to protests and wear pro Palestine pins (if it's safe for you to do so)

Buy and wear a keffiyah

Do not let genocide supporters find safe and comfortable spaces

Do not be a safe space for war criminals

Do not let people take comfort in your assumed neutrality

Do not allow people ignore genocide

idk. this is just a lot less visually compelling to me. i don't really like the changes they made to the expression and again idk why her waist is the same size as her head. i'm not saying ryoko kui draws falin as actually fat bc she's just a medium weight really but like. there is such an extreme difference here. also in general i feel like it feels less violent in the animation? which you would think would be the other way around they could really do a lot by putting this moment into movement. really play up the wild and animalistic expression on her face and stress the amount of sheer force she is exerting when she rips the shirt. idk!!!! i don't like this. whatever!!!!!!

#falin is fat obviously i know her truth but even if she isn't drawn as being fat in actuality she certainly is not that skinny

Also when it comes to those "happiest countries in the world" studies, it's good to remember that different cultures have different definitions of what counts as "happiness". To some people, being "happy" as a general thing is interpreted as feeling happy most of the time, being thrilled and excited about things at the same rate and frequency as small children are. That's not usually realistic, so naturally a person who considers that as their definition of happiness is going to answer "no" when asked whether they're happy.

And to some, being happy with something is a neutral state, of having no complaints of the thing in question. Your car isn't flashy but it's functional so you say you're happy with your car. Your job isn't glamorous but you'd rather drive to work than into a tree, so you say you're happy with your job. Your life isn't fancy but there aren't any particularly distressing threats terrorising you every day, so you say you're happy with your life.

You can imagine the dissonance that happens when someone with that kind of a definition says "I just want to be happy", meaning that they would simply prefer a life that wouldn't involve as much emotional anguish and suicidal idelation as it currently does, and someone with the former type of definition of "happiness" tells them that it's simply unrealistic to expect to always be happy.

We also need lady knights that are kind of like long haired anime men and that look like if you anthropomorphized a borzoi hound and have long eyelashes and a sword and have a noble seriousness to them but go silent and look away if flustered (talking to myself)

#this is the only kind i make. love lady knight. love a dame
