#they’re just JOY okay?

[rowenas-megacoven]

The Khan’s are just PHENOMENAL. They’re so warm and vibrant and hysterical in all the best ways. The MCU is absent/shitty/dead/evil-parent-and-complicated-family central, theres too much familial feuding at times, whether that family is blood or adopted or found, so I am LIVING for and LOVING how the Khan’s are just so normal and ordinary and wonderful. It’s no wonder Kamala has such a can-do, confident, positive attitude. It’s no wonder she’s such a dreamer and proudly herself and so damn funny when she’s surrounded by so much love and encouragement. Kamala Khan and the fam need to be in more Marvel movies, their dynamic is just joyous and healing and I will NOT tolerate another Aunt May incident. I WILL NOT. I swear if anything happens to ANY of them-

#so I just watched the marvels #I adore the khans sm #they’re just JOY okay? #Like the Mr Khan talking to the 300 yr old SWORD employee about his retireement plan? I fuckin howled #Mrs Khan being like “THIS WOULD BE A LOVELY HOME FOR GRANDCHILDREN AAMIR’ while Aamir tries to mute her with a tv remote #how they ALL insist to GO TO SPACE to make sure Kamala is okay #I forgot how dearly I loved the Khans for a second #Kamala can get away with all sorts of chaos and mischief but as long as she safe they’re chill about it #I swear if they pull a Thor on Kamala I will FLIP #Kamala is gonna have to have a character growth arc with all of the Khans safe and sound #there was obvs so much more about the marvels that was great but I haven’t seen any posts appreciating the Khans #THE KHAN FAMILY I LOVE YOU #the marvels #ms marvel #kamala khan #the khans #miss marvel #the Khan family #carol danvers #captain Marvel #monica rambeau #mwah.txt #marvel #marvel cinematic universe #mcu

So I read the jjk manga start to finish in like three days and one thing I really wanted to say is I LOVE how the women are basically always fully clothed. (Like, Yorozu is naked in her past, but it’s obviously unique to her character, characteristic of her personality, and it’s not framed in a particularly sexual way. More importantly, this could absolutely be used as an excuse for her to dress Tsumiki in revealing clothing, but she doesn’t!)

All the women in the modern day are dressed practically and prepared to fight. Lots of them are wearing baggy trousers, and there’s no unnecessary crop tops or tiddy windows!!! They all look hot as hell, but it’s because they’re powerful, confident, kind - it’s about the PERSON, not the body. It sucks that even good shojo often has this problem of unnecessary sexualisation (even/especially with underage girls), but it makes me so happy to read over 200 chapters that never treat women like objects or pinup posters waiting to happen

#like the JOY I felt when that filler chapter made a joke about a beach #and I immediately was like ‘okay nobara’s gonna be in a bikini but the guys’ll be in trunks bc it’s been good about that’ #and then there was a DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD OF TODŌ #and I have a crush on basically every woman so it’s not like they’re not desirable #it’s just about their PERSONALITIES!!!! #jujutsu kaisen #jjk spoilers

(y0) majima’s apartment is a barren wasteland and i hc that yuki’s apartment is a cluttered disaster, so inevitably when majima first sees her place and she first sees his they both, for completely opposite reasons, are like. damn bitch you live like this?

#like I imagine it to be really cluttered and chaotic but not messy as in Dirty you know #she just kinda collects Things. not quite a hoarder but. not exactly Normal either #she takes the idea of ‘keep what brings you joy’ a little too seriously #meanwhile we’ve seen majima’s and it’s just…… sad #sad and barren #very clearly not meant to be a permanent home #I think when she sees his apartment (probably not by his volition- she probably just shows up or insists on following him home for one #reason or another (she means well) she’d be like okay yeah this is miserable id feel cruel leaving you here alone. we are having a sleepover #this is not a request. it is a statement. #majima #yuki #rambling #I really need a tag for this platonic pair I think they’re the Best #yakuza

Six Feet Under season 3 episode 4 “Nobody Sleeps” single-handedly responsible for me bawling my eyes out over its representation of queer love and grief and community. the lighting of the eulogy being deliberately colorful, contrasted against shots of Nate and David in more drab and dreary lighting……….the love, the emotion, the pure healing power of the man with the enlarged heart making sure that his lover was the last thing he ever looked at…….a gay man dying surrounded by friends, all together and having such a joyful and easy time, just happy to be there with one another………..oh it truly makes me unwell. I feel nauseous. how do I make this my reality.

#six feet under #was not a huge fan of season 2 but oh……..season 3 has been lovely so far #it’s so good to see ruth with a friend !!!! to see her so happy and full of joy!!!!!! #and I like that they seem to be doing a bit of damage control for Keith’s character after season 2 #and maybe it’s because I just don’t get it and I know he went through a LOT of stressful shit in season 2 but. seeing him so aggressive and #uncaring felt like such whiplash after how he was in season 1 #and there were obviously reasons for him to be angry and everything but a lot of the time it felt a lot like just. the aggressive violent #angry black man stereotype. I’m glad they’re allowing him to work through his shit finally cause like. season 1 Keith would have NEVER #treated David or anyone else like that. #like the scene where David came home and cried to him about wanting to last and Keith going ‘’okay’’ and just holding him in arms…….THAT’s #Keith. like he should be allowed to have his anger of course after everything that’s happened but I’m so so so glad they’re giving him back #that piece of his character that’s so loving and aware of himself and there. #this show………..sigh 🙏

genuinely speaking there is nothing wrong with criticizing rwby. i have more than my fair share of issues with it and engaging in critical discussion about it is good. there is also nothing wrong with disliking rwby. but if it gets to a point where you still watch the show and you think it’s actively making you more miserable and it irritates you to see people even just casually enjoying it, then maybe it’s a sign to seek greener pastures.

even if you say that you’re still so invested that you gotta see how it ends. the sunk cost fallacy cannot physically manifest in your house and hold a gun to your head to force you to watch rwby.

#saint.txt #like i don’t even mean this in a mean way #it’s GOOD to be critical of the show even if sometimes people are not going to agree. it’s GOOD to identify its flaws and engage with them #in an honest way. and people can experience the show in any way that works best for them #but if it gets to a point where you kind of just actively hate the show and its fanbase to the point where you don’t even like seeing #anyone even just casually enjoying it then i think it’s worth just moving on #and i understand that for a lot of people it might just be more complex than just getting up and leaving #and that sometimes some people might stick around for other reasons than actually actively enjoying the show #but idk i’ve seen people say that they’re only sticking around to use rwby as their guideline as for what NOT to do in media #and if that’s how you view it then that is your personal right. i just think it’s just a pretty bleak relationship to have with media #like wouldn’t it bring you more joy to dissect the things you DO actively like and enjoy and strive toward that instead #and again. criticizing the show is good. disliking it in general is not indicative of anyone’s morals #but at some point if it’s just making you feel more and more miserable and you feel like there’s really no salvaging it #then it’s okay to just move on for your sake #if it sucks hit da bricks or whatever that skeleton said

see and i guess the thing that makes me crazy about the whole relearning intimacy is that xarrai is doing the same thing. in different ways and for different reasons they are both people who have almost never been touched if not for pain or sex or some other sort of Use. and i think that for the two of them that shared experience makes the whole thing like… almost kind of funny? here we are, two guys who are supposed to be experts at intimacy, and we’re giggling like schoolgirls after the most chaste little kiss. it’s all just another joke only the two of them are in on, another conspiratorial little moment they share. or at least it’s easier to see it that way than to see it for what it Is (being madly in love)

#i never post abt them being happy it feels wrong. LMAO #a little self indulgence today as a treat :) #just… finding joy in the closeness and the intimacy #and being so drawn to it like moths to a flame #even between moonrise and the ritual where every other conversation they have devolves into an argument… #still xarrai is close enough to touch him. still they come back to him every time #neither of them Wants to give this up even when everything feels like it’s falling apart. even when they struggle to trust one another #they’re both aware it could be all part of the game. it IS all part of the game sometimes #they KNOW how to weaponize this closeness and they do. both of them. over and over. #both of them wielding touch the same way they wield promises and yet. and yet. #sometimes it’s not. sometimes in the fleeting moments inbetween they find something real. in chaste kisses and cold hands on skin and #all of it. #they’re at each others’ throats the night after the ambush but they still sleep tangled together #it’s different after the ritual too it’s all different like after the tiefling party the two of them are Constantly touching but #the context and the feelings and all of it evolves so so much. okay bye i need to do my job now LOL #漫言 #oc. xarrai #r. hold me like a knife #astarion

👋 2022

#I won’t go into detail about real life except that it was. well. a Trip #learned some things went through things. the year of baby steps I guess #BUT I wanna write some thoughts about my 2022 tumblr experience down #it was… also quite a Trip #positive first: learned to stay off this site when necessary! very important mental-health wise #my most used tag this year was my track tag! shoutout to everyone who’s been using it #you bring me much joy by sharing your creations with me. I appreciate it 🤍 #another shoutout to all the incredibly lovely people who’ve come to my inbox this year #I’ve been very lucky in that regard. 98% of my anons have been the kindest sweetest most eloquent people #and I’m happy to have been able to have super interesting thoughtful and respectful discussions from time to time #okay what else. oh HIGHLIGHT of my year here – my birthday ADFFGHJ #I felt so so so spoiled and couldn’t (still can’t) believe the amount of spectacular gif(t)s I got. made me feel stupidly happy oh my god #I learned a lot of new skills and techniques for gfx making. kept experimenting with different styles which has been fun! #gif making has turned more into a relaxing activity than something that makes me feel pressured and anxious #I dialed it down a bit compared to last year and I think that was a good decision as well #as for not so positive things. well. #of course there are the usual/ general ‘complaints’ like lack in interaction and the like #got my first proper anon hate in November. that was something #HUGE lesson I learned this year: just because someone states in their bio that they’re adults doesn’t mean they act like ones <3 #people can be very childish ruthless and simply not worth one’s effort #and a last thing that fits quite well to that: 9 out of 10 people do not care about you. not about your time and effort you put in content #not about whether you’re online or not. not about how you might feel when they say and do certain things #I think I need to learn how to embrace this kind of insignificance. be more audacious. find validation within myself #okay I’ll stop now #I wanna say thank you to all the lovely people who made this year on tumblr more enjoyable and who truly brighten the place up for me #I love you lots and wish you all the best for 2023 #it’s gonna be a hard year for me with lots of challenges and changes #and it’s nice to have this little space here where you can escape to from time to time #mwah. smooches to all of you. happy new year <3

maturing is accepting that they’re just fictional characters in fictional relationships in fictional worlds. discourse is not that important. sometimes you’ve just got to step back and realise there’s more important things in the world than one person’s opinion on a something that doesn’t exist.

#you’re allowed to love characters #it’s okay to find joy in fictional worlds #fiction is allowed to have a profound impact on you #it’s okay for it to be special to you #but there’s more to life than arguing over opinions about a random character online #at the end of the day it’s not that important if someone doesn’t like the same ship as you #and not everyone is going to love your favourite character #and that’s okay because they’re just fictional

[labyrynth]

honest to god just had someone tell me, an asexual, that asexual people can’t have sex.

if they have sex and don’t hate it, they’re either not asexual, or they’re committing borderline rape, or engaging in self harm. (or maybe it was supposed to be “self rape”? they weren’t making a lot of sense.)

they also said that if you’re not sexually attracted to them, having sex with someone you love is “using their body” and is “just masturbating with someone else’s body”

while on the other hand, if you’re only sexually attracted to someone, and you just wanna fuck ‘em and dump ‘em, that’s perfectly fine, and is NOT “masturbating with someone else’s body”

un fucking real

terfs/radf.ems/“gen.der cri.tical” keep your nasty claws off

#moi #idk what the fuck they’re on but it’s some kind of weird counterrational rad//fem bullshit #they were getting real big mad at the idea that some people aren’t all that into sex #but they’ll have sex anyway if their partner is into jt #like #that’s not a bad thing #if they’re forcing themself to do it that’s not good #but they don’t HAVE to force themselves #they can just want to do something nice for their partner #like how people generally don’t share every single one of their interests #but in a loving relationship #so long as it isn’t uncomfortable or upsetting #each partner will try to engage in some of their partners interests and tastes #suppose one partner doesn’t like spicy food while the other loves it #it’s okay if one of them doesn’t get a whole lot of joy out of a restaurant that serves spicy food on their own #but that doesn’t mean that they don’t enjoy that it’s made their partner happy #vicarious happiness is a thing #it’s a VERY big thing for humans actually. we do nice things for each other because it makes US feel nice too.

some late night thoughts with Gogh…

okay I’m having quite a time over here in my little corner and I just don’t know how to like… deal with it.

without going into all the details, I have some family drama (extended fam edition) and it’s kinda turned everything I’ve ever really known on its head and put it into the trash compactor from Monsters Inc.

there’s a lot of deep rooted hurt that’s come from all the situations it’s created and it’s like… wow, you know

anyways, so if I’m a little quiet around here for the next few days that’s why - I still have a lot of good things going on - I have another date (same guy, hallelujah) on Wednesday AND Friday so that’s exciting

but this is really heavy, so I might not be as active for a little bit as I attempt to process everything

love you all,

- Gogh 🌻

#it’ll all be okay #just gotta get through it you know? #anyways not that anyone was wondering #on the bright side - everything else is going splendidly #I did some therapy baking today and that helped quite a bit #and I’m making pie for my friends tomorrow and they’re excited so I’m excited #and this date makes me excited too #both dates make me excited haha #so there’s a lot to be looking forward to that’s positive #also my room has lot of yellow now - my favorite color - and that brings me joy #I’ve also watched a lot of Rocky recently and that’s been good too #I also found some heart shaped rocks recently so the universe is looking out for me #have about equal good and difficult and I suppose that’s how life is supposed to be #any good energy you can send my way is greatly appreciated #hope everything is going well for you guys - when you’re happy I’m happy #love you to the moon and back :)
