okay because people have shown up in my dms talking smack I'm going to make one blanket statement on the 1000 year loli chilchuck thing.
yes, there has been a problem with young girls being put in suggestive positions in anime with the "uhmmm she's actually a bajillion years old" excuse. yes, other characters don't treat chilchuck like an adult. yes, he is short with big eyes.
However, chilchuck consistently acts like a grown man. he- in both the manga and the anime- straight up just is an adult. He looks like an adult when he is any other race during the swaps in the manga. When the other characters get turned into half-foots they look similar to chilchuck. He is explicitly stated to have more dungeon and general life experience than laios, and he acts like it.
The 1000 year loli trope explicitly functions as an excuse to prey on people who are inexperienced and unable to advocate for themselves. Chilchuck is a parent, is a union organizer, has explicit boundaries that he enforces rigidly, and he is treated as an adult man by everyone who doesn't have a fantasy racism-focused character arc/issue.
I can see how if you haven't read the manga and seen that he has an established life that he later reveals (and haven't paid attention to him in the anime lol) you could get a mistaken impression about him. Marcielle does too in the source material! It's part of her character at the start of her arc that she has issues with longevity!
The thing that irks me a little about this interpretation is that it leans into the child-coded discourse that was prominent a while ago (she's short!!!!! but has boob???? ILLEGAL!!1!) and it does a disservice to the themes of infantilization as a policy maneuver hurting the working class.
I saw chilchuck and his labor advocacy for half-foots both as a metaphor for racism (obvious take ik) and for ageism.
The working gen z as a cohort are being infantilized and pushed out of job markets due to infantilization, similar to half-foots in the show. gen z is being maliciously portrayed as too young to vote, enter office, know themselves, know their rights, and take advantage of their resources. Simultaneously, child labor protections and protections against workplace abuse are being rolled back in the US. In Japan, young people are being worked to the bone for nothing and are becoming disenfranchised as a generation while simultaneously expected to be the labor faction that supports the postwar generations in their old age.
Chilchuck's being treated poorly I saw as a clever commentary on the ways infantilization allows for protections to be stripped away under the guise that "oh it's just a job for teenagers- they don't need more than minimum wage" or "let the kids rescue the economy! they're always complaining about that job market!" while simultaneously stripping away rights under the guise of protection- "We can't have that on the internet! think of the children!" "to protect these young people we must raise the age of medical consent for hormones/reproductive health decisions!"
Kui's work with this series spoke to me on many levels, and specifically, the infantilization issue touched me in a way that few other pieces of media have. The struggle to be taken seriously in a stem field as someone young, as someone female, and as someone who had a high-pitched voice to the point I did years of voice training to be taken seriously, chilchuck's character resonated. I (kinda) understand your instinct to think "SHORT! CHILD! RALLY THE MASSES AND KILL THE PEDOS!!1!" but in this case, it's misdirected- mostly because the author was trying to use this misdirection to prove something to you, the reader.
Kui consistently makes cutting commentary on modern issues, the show's take on food neutrality as its headliner, but also the author's takes on cultural issues and the environment (with a focus on our place in the food web as animals). I feel that reducing chilchuck's very conscious position as a tradesman and an activist discounted due to his apparent age down to "1000 year loli ewwww let's send this random tumblr user suicide bait" just displays a lack of critical analysis of the show and a level of disrespect towards Kui and the work as a whole.
TL:DR- stop sending me kys messages I'm fucking that old man

revamped a few things regarding gut stuff + a taste of angels' fuckass technology heehee ^^
angels have a completely liquid brain thats contained in a thin membrane, supported by a sheet of cartilage thats absolutely PACKED with nerve endings. having a liquid brain allows them to take a lot more damage to the head without fear of brain damage. theyre fucked if their skull gets pierced however, as once air gets in their skull, the membrane will pop and send brain soup everywhere. luckily for them though, their skulls are both thick as hell AND have a layer of fat and muscle to pierce through first.
their sails can fold down now, as well as their front teeth now being able to move similarly to a parrot beak(LOOK UP PARROT SKULLS THEYRE FUCKIN WILD) allowing them to grip onto prey better. angels eat rocks in order to strengthen their bones so i changed up the coloration of their bones to reflect that. depending on what minerals they eat, angel bones can vary in colour as the colour of the original rock gets mixed in with the original calcite bones. old angels will also eat gemstones and other sparkly minerals so that when they die, their bones(mainly the skull) will be extra sparkly for funerary reasons. some angels will eat gemstones regardless of age just because they like the idea of their bones being extra pretty, even if no one can/will see them.
ever since angels figured out how to harness the processing power of their liquid brains, theyve been using it in almost all technology ever since.
rather than writing things down, angels will use this liquid to store information in a computer-like fashion, and by sending off specific signals into it they can program the liquid to do just about anything. depending on the amount used, these "brains" can record and store memories, open doors, pilot ships, and even replicate and store whole entire people! as long as they have a constant stream of nutrients and regular monitoring, these brains can live almost indefinetley. in order to activate/talk to it, you must be touching any exposed part of the membrane. the tech may not work correctly with other aliens however, due to it being so closely connected to angel biology.
brains that have a consiousness integrated into it are called BUIs(bio-unital intelligence), and are the angels' equivalent to sentient AIs. not gonna go too much into detail about them now since i wanna make a separate post on them, but theyre often created to do more complicated tasks, such as governing highly populated ships and running ground settlements, but theyre also made when an angel's body has been life-threateningly damaged and they dont want to die just yet. this is only done if said nearly-dead angel agrees to it beforehand, as the integration is both painful AND permanent. BUIs dont need to be touched directly to function, and will perform tasks independently of other angels.
gif stills under the cut like usual :3

I'm so glad Loki finally won something in this awards season but I'm especially glad Tom got to accept it. Everyone on that show deserves recognition of their hard work, Tom even more so than others. Waking up and reading his acceptance speech got me all emotional because I'm once again reminded how much time and love he's put into Loki as a character. I can't accept that this is the last we'll see of Loki but I also can't imagine anything topping this exact moment in time for the character, having come so far over so many years.
And the shout outs! Sophia Di Martino, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Wunmi Mosaku, Ke Huy Quan Owen Wilson and a final shout out for Zawe! I only wish she'd been in the audience. They're such a stunning couple and his love for her is so clear it's unreal.

dicking about at work with characters I haven't interacted with yet from a game I do not own and have not played
Tumblr media
[ID: Two notecards with writing in blue ink. the first reads:
"Allies?" Durge blinks in surprise. "Were we really?"
Their eyes narrow thoughtfully. Their face is almost serene. The pretty little blade turns idly in Durge's hands, its edge leaving pinpricks and weepy little lines in their flesh.
"I imagine it's somewhat freeing," Durge says suddenly, "no longer being beholden to your gods. Released from the shackles of personhood, as it were."
Their expression is guarded, unreadable.
"Though of course, I have no frame of reference as to that. So this whole discussion smacks of futility, doesnt it?"
The second card reads:
Gortash shivered. He'd always loved Durge for their coldness, their intellect as sharp as the hungriest of knives.
They will not mourn him, their former lover, they will not hesitate, and they will not be burdened by guilt. The favored spawn of Bhaal does not know tenderness or mercy. And he knows the inky stillness that will overtake them as they watch him die.
Oh, magnificent one.
Avatar of slaughter, I submit to thee.
