People used to comment on web comics.

People used to comment on fanfiction.

People used to comment on fanart.

People used to comment on OCs.

I hate "content" culture.

I hate "consuming content" and scrolling immediately to the next thing.

People used to be excited about the art that other people created.

People used to want to share that excitement with creators.

I hate this future.

if shipping is not just a personal but also a communal experience due to the solid existence of fandoms

there is a time that you feel a chemistry between the characters but do not want to be involved in that specific ship due to reasons

When that happens I decidedly refrain from writing that ship name and come up with my own style of naming the two instead..

This happened with jojo’s japanese name of josuhan (so i very pointedly write rojo instead)

jojo’s bizarre adventure taking reference from classic fiction is so .. good

phantom blood blatantly referencing bram stoker’s dracula..

Giorno’s favorite fiction being Les Miserables..

And Araki himself noting that he’s been a long fan of Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes and tried to take suspense into his manga

always thinking about lwj and jc who still hate each other but also realise theyre the only people who will actually mourn wwx so they end up having sex about it and it slowly turns into some kind of less hateful situationship over time that neither of them will actually look at or acknowledge

the first time they end up properly dual cultivating is an accident, thus far they have not been willing to be that vulnerable or connected to each other

and they both realise at the same time what the familiar, beloved warmth is emanating from jc's dantian

horrified and grateful and despairing, they realise the truth of what happened to wwx, while also sobbing bc it feels like he is back with them again, keeping his shidi safe from within, protecting jc even when he's gone

Does anyone not understand that being not a Christian doesn’t mean that they don’t get it’s a Christian reference ?????

Like, if you see a image of woman with snake hair you’ll instantly go “oh that’s Medusa reference” even if they don’t believe Hellenistic religion.

It’s the same for Christianity.

And this is coming from an atheist Korean, for reference.

It's that time of year when Tumblr celebrates Easter by posting pictures of crucified anime characters, and inevitably somebody in the notes will pop up to helpfully explain that crucifixion imagery has no cultural significance in Japanese media because Japan is only about 1% Christian, which bugs me because it's completely wrong.

It's true that in the majority of cases, crucifixion in Japanese cartoons isn't meant to be conveying any specific theological message, but something Western audiences are likely to miss is that a large portion of those random crucifixion scenes are referencing Ultraman.

Ultraman's creator was a devout Roman Catholic who explicitly intended the titular hero to read as a Christ figure, and consequently, various Ultramen have been crucified on multiple unconnected occasions throughout the franchise's history. Crucifixion scenes in Japanese cartoons are often directly name-checking particular crucifixion incidents from Ultraman, right down to emulating the compositions and camera angles of specific shots. It's like an especially morbid version of the Akira slide.

The upshot is that, while it's true that the inclusion of gratuitous crucifixion scenes in Japanese cartoons typically has no (intentional) theological message, stating that they have no cultural significance is incorrect. A large chunk of the Japanese viewing audience are going to see them and immediately go "hey, that's an Ultraman reference".

Anyway, as an image tax, have a shot of four crucified Ultramen miraculously resurrecting a fifth Ultraman by shooting laser beams out of their hearts:

#like c’mon #Japanese manga devilman came out in the seventies #And you all know evangelion series right???? #Right???? #the japanese subculture has a ton of christian culture reference #It’s just that most of the viewers and writers don’t really believe in that religion

Sometimes reading Arthuriana feels like reading Alice in Wonderland.

“Well,” said Alice, “these are a dreadfully strange assortment of objects!”

“They all symbolize different aspects of Our Lord’s martyrdom,” said the Fisher King, casting a line into his teacup.

“Indeed. I am sure everything symbolizes something else, for if everything was only itself I should be very confused. Might I ask what the point of the bleeding lance is?”

Alice regretted asking the question as soon as she had done so, for she saw the pun that would likely be made about the word point. Instead, however, the room erupted in applause and shouts of “The Grail! She has achieved the Grail!”

The next castle she visited, Alice resolved to herself as the inhabitants of this one danced for joy, would be more sensible.
