urg wait abt the music in dungeon meshi. i think the first op was soooo amazingg the sound is so kinda medieval it was really cool... i also like the second op but i realised lately that the cuter op would've probs fit better with the first half of the season but perhaps the first op was more engaging? that kinda serious op that Hooks you into the series... the choice to play that upbeat ed after That episode where you know Falin 💀 probs was just how things turned out, originally i thought it would be cooler if they put a more downcast ed there kinda like that madoka switch after mami's death (i think, it's been awhile lol) but upon thinking abt it more the juxtaposition of the horrifying and somber moment kinda reflects the series tone well and especially laios, some of the Things this Fukicng Guy says. like bro...... he has an interesting mind.

#dungeon meshi spoilers #more rambling #idk why i wanted to write this i Dont remember. #i dont think i forgot anything it was just anticlimactic #im gonna need to watch the first op like a thousand more times to get my fill of it #bump of chicken is p cool. funny coincidence.. #i had a bump of chicken song in my Very Long watch later on youtube that i only listened to after looking into the dunmeshi song #it's a nice coincidence it came up cos its pretty good. called astronomical observation #i don't like the full version of sleepwalking orchestra as much as the op. i also love and NEEED the visuals. esp the spread of all the #girls then the guys. the vibe of that is just so cool idk #it feels like it Means something important #but i usually try to listen to the full versions of ops. but im too brainrotted on the meshi to uhm. enjoy it without the visuals. #song n show is Intertwined for me now #i think i will go watch the op again now

spoilers for the latest dungeon meshi ep but oh my GODDD i love marcille my pobrecita.. i think ryoko kui wrote sexism's effects on marcille really well, i think it's neat how she's a silly little guy and other people kind of underestimate her and it seems she is often down on herself about her failures or, "burdening" others in a way that feels very authentic to how it feels to be a woman and have that extra pressure of perfection to dispell suspicions of your inferiority. it's just very much the feeling i gather from it which makes marcille so relatable. and then to put another layer on it when it came out that she did black magic, she's literally A Bad Ass she is LITERALLY a Badass which makes her doubt of herself even more starkly inappropriate, and in this new episode despite the Fact that she is A Bad Ass when everyone's being a BIG MEANIE to her she's like a sad puppy when people don't let her help with revivals and like idk if i missed something but she doesn't even push back against them saying they're going to turn her in in like, a threatening way, she is just... scared. which hurt me i just wanted everyone stop being so MEAN TO HERRR my POBRECITAAAA. MY TINY LITTLE BABYY

i also laughed a lot and freaked out catching up on the two latest episodes today. DEVASTATING miscalculation on chilchuck's part to protect senshi when laois has No sense of Social cue. really happy to see laois and kabru meet, they're really funny together and i see why people like them so much as a ship now!! i am ECSTATIC that shuro is out of the game in terms of ehem. courting falin. bro COULDN'T HACK IT gEDDEM marcille. get that red dragon lady.. and omg it made me SOOOO MAD that they tried to blame marcille for that like how could that even b her fault!!! >:((( its obv the mad mage's doing. i dont get it they r just big meanies!!! stop shitting on my girl!!!

i like how kabru is like laios if he had more social awareness and was a litle Conniving... and omfg i thought it was so funny and sweet how shuro and laios just fucking beat each other up 😭 shuro said i hate autistic ppl fr. no but im glad he showed up for laios & co. in the end.. sometimes you just gotta talk ur feelings out over a fistfight lol

it was soo so fun seeing everyone interact .. all these fun characters... i cant wait to see what happens next!!! i love this show literally one of my fav animes EVER now definitely its so good its SOOOOOO GOOOOOOOD!! im terrified not knowing when its gonna end and how im gonna cope when the season ends 🗿 methinks i will have to read the manga instantly after or i will go insane from dungeon meshi withdrawal..

#dungeon meshi spoilers #this is totally just me rambling this show makes me so happyyyy #i usually hate rewatching stuff but idk if i just want to take everything or what #but i had a process of watching it like. rewatch old ep then watch new ep #and i also rewatched it all around ep 13 or something #but i think im going to rewatch it again just because I love ... so much.. #is so good... need dunmeshi .. #i also need to develop my senshi tulpa more so my life is less disastrous #at least in terms of food and sleep #i slept until 7pm and then ate 3meals in a row so -_- need that senshi tulpa #lol the way laios did the im stronger than u thing but listed his food and sleep sched. as the reason 😭😭😭😭 beautiful . so beautiful #it makes me SAD that they tried to kill falin but realistically what else could they do.. i just dont want laios think monsters r all bad #or the rest of the crew. anymore... #may b theyre just friends and its the mad mages fault :(( #and then kabru was like u have to kill orcs and im like NOOOOOOOOOo dont DO THAT #i was so SHOCOKED. SHOCKEKD when so many ppl were wiped out by falin. literally crazy sauce. broooo #i wuv dungeomeshi so much...... #also i just have to say that shuro n laios fight? p gay...ngl #laios n falin r so similar its just falin is um. well better at masking #the Autism Twins (insert flame font( #its like i think shuro's feelings r genuine n not shallow for falin but i also dont think he knows her as well as he thinks. #i mean apparently he is Poor at connecting with others #love those guys. silly guys. the lot of em #chilchuck's being mad at marcile for black magic is a lot less annoying 2 me now that i know. other ppls react WAYYY worse #wuv em

"What I'm expecting will happen is that a few activist students, probably white and mostly middle-class, some queer and some genderqueer and some trans, though most probably trans masculine, will read out a list of names to remember. Most names will belong to trans women, many women of colour, some of whom were sex workers, and many of whom were either born or died poor. There will be little or no analysis presented as to who these trans people were, or why the dead are mostly trans women and the living people reading their names aloud are often not.

What will be missing are these women's stories. Their triumphs and talents and tribulations. We will be reminded only of their names. Most of the queer students will resume classes afterwards, and go to pride dances and Coming Out Day celebrations, and not think much about this list of names again until next year, because, really, trans women's issues and realities don't affect them all that much. The trans masculine folks will still be allowed, even welcomed, into women's spaces, radical queer sex parties, women's music festivals, and women's studies programs at exclusive colleges and universities. And living trans women or trans feminine people will continue to be excluded from some transition homes and shelters, some music festivals, some women's spaces, a lot of lesbian feminist bedrooms, most dyke erotica and pornography, and nearly all of the good parties. What will also be missing is a discussion about the difference between excluding someone and actively including them, and intentionally making space. And the day after we are supposed to remember, most of this will be forgotten."

#mua chef's kiss #i loathe.

Your parents are not "narcissists". They're typical authoritarian assholes who treat you like their property because society allows them to.

Your ex boyfriend is not a "narcissist". He's a typical misogynistic douchebag who treats women like shit because society allows him to.

Your boss is not a "narcissist". They're a typical classist dipshit who thinks workers' entire purpose in life is to generate profit because society allows them to.

And even if they happen to be a "narcissist", that's not what gave them the power to get away with abuse.

So stop blaming mental illness and start blaming society's normalization of abuse. Stop acting like someone has to have a mental illness in order to do something cruel when ordinary people have been doing atrocious things since forever.

I'm very torn about what to do with my life in college 🥹 do i go for an art degree or social work degree or something else. should i lose my insurance and find a new therapist or should i just try doing fulltime even though it's going to kick my ass bc then i get to keep my insurance & my awesome therapist? and bc i dont want to be in college for like 8 years & thats how long id need if it was at my pace??? should i go into something digital instead??? what do ppl who want to be "activists" study. that's such a shallow, performative word in liberal society. social work was my best idea but there's degree about organizational stuff and now idk if i should look into that?? :'D i am very open to advice Please Please Please help me

#something im also concerned about is if social work is going to be too bureaucratic for me to do any good #i want to work at like a dv shelter or something helping homeless or lower income ppl #with food and shelter #but idk what's the best way to go about that #then i also want to help a larger org thats more global or national #so like local level & then bigger #is it worth doing a college class on marxism & women & gender studies?? (separately i mean-) #im so confused

if you want to actually start to end homelessness, you need to give homeless people unconditional homes, including when we use them to do drugs or sit around drinking. either housing is unconditional or it isn’t

someone sitting at home alone, an active alcoholic, squandering your charity, drinking all day is better situation than a street homeless alcoholic. someone using drugs in your charity house is better than them doing the same w no shelter

most of you would not like most street homeless people, I definitely don’t and didn’t when I was street homeless. for every one person who uses unconditional shelter to turn themselves around, someone else will do jack shit and very slowly, if ever, work through the issues that made them homeless, will maybe never be able to live independently. still better than street homelessness, still worth doing. ultimately either you believe that shelter should be universal or you don’t

homeless people actually can’t be rehabilitated if you want to end homelessness. we either affirm the right to shelter for the worst drunken, lying, filthy, cheating, self destructive homeless people that exist, genuinely irredeemable wankers, or we concede that shelter is not a right

#this just has to be #if you concede that someone shouldn't have housing just because you don't like them you are a cartoon villain

if you want to actually materially address child abuse, the single most important thing you can do to start is give children the legally enforceable right to leave any situation they no longer want to be in.

church, extracurriculars, summer camps, school classes, their biological family's houses. notably, these are the places that child abuse is enabled by the child's inability to just fucking leave if they need to. they can't walk out of church if their youth pastor touches them inappropriately; they'll get punished for leaving. if they walk out of their house because their dad hits them, the cops pick them up and give them right back to their dad.

children need the legal autonomy to leave abusive situations in order to even begin to usefully materially address child abuse.

Buckle up, European and Foreigner Tumblypoos, because I'm about to learn you a thing about AMERICA.

You see these delectable motherflippers? These are called STATES. You stupid foreigners might not be able to wrap your head around this, but basically they're administrative subdivisions of the country.

And here's the thing: They are totally heckin' different from each other! For instance, New York:

Looks TOTALLY DIFFERENT from Kansas:

And they both look TOTALLY different from California!

So before you make fun of an American for not knowing where tiny third-world countries like "Check Republic" or "South Korea" are, maybe think about how much we have to learn about the unique regional differences in our OWN country. Maybe you should think about AMERICA more.

love clicking the tirf tag to just see the dumbest most transmisogynistic shit ever like god shut the FUCK UP! !

#tirf #tagging this so you all can see. SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!! #we lost the acronym anyways transfeminism #we're transfeminist or die now

honestly, as a trans woman i love seeing posts by transmasc ppl here because i am a masculine woman.

and I like to define my masculinity in my own terms. in a way, i am transitioning to a masculinity that does not hurt me anymore.

i like the vocabulary you guys use, i like the imagery, the strength and the energy there.

solidarity with my brothers!

I didn't spend 25 years fucking around with terfery to deconstruct and critique it just to have people come along to say "but they saaaaay they hate men so that's why they hate trans women" with approximately negative analysis to back it up.

You can't just look at their words, you have to look at their actions. Really you have to look at everything they say, not just the parts that support what you want to believe. Hell, Janice Raymond herself outright acknowledged that trans women are female and aren't male socialized. Just ask @taliabhattwrites. Or rather check her twitter for her live read of The Transsexual Empire.

Also, terfs are not the primary source of transmisogyny.

Stop trying to put men at the center of women's oppression.

#it's so crazy that a lot of 'trans friendly' folx hold more transphobic beliefs than janice raymond but are just quieter about it

#it becomes so evident when you look into these cultures and who's speaking about them #westerners & the larger society will speak about the “third gender” group like they are well accepted #but visibility in culture =/= acceptance & people from the culture will hone in on the idea that these people aren't actually women #against the wishes of that group. because they're uncomfortable with that assertion & denying lets them extract labour from their alienatio #transmisogyny

its so weird to me when people talk as if butch lesbians "benefit" from masculinity in some way. i kinda feel like nothing in real life indicates this ever but ok .

[lettucedloophole]

ive tried to verbalize this time and time again and i never rlly get there but as a femme lesbian i have a rlly hard time connecting with femenine straight women i dont know what the fuck they r talking about ever and they have always known (since i was a small child) that i was weird and other. INSTEAD i feel as if i can read the mind of fem gay men literally dyke2fag mental communication it is real and exist and im Tuned In i want to be an old queen when i grow up bc they r the only ones that get it
