I saw a post that made me curious about this so here's a quick poll. Please reblog to reach more people. I'm sure there's more opinions out there but 12 options is the maximum limit for polls. Also, I'm sure many of y'all are probably thinking "well, it depends on what my partner wants as well," but this is about you. Imagine your ideal and vote based on that ideal. Imagine your partner agrees entirely with what you want and just vote based on that.

Wait, aren't you a maoist yourself?

I didn't read like a lot of theory and nothing of Mao, but I remember that you were of high opinion about him.

Or like, maoism and Mao's ideas are different things?

Maoism is very different from the political theory espoused by Mao - it is contradictory, in fact, to Mao's own political theories, and was formulated completely separately from Mao (and the CPC as a whole) by foreign ultra-leftists. (To clarify: 'left' errors are those which erroneously declare positive, revolutionary elements to be enemies; in contrast with rightist errors, which erroneously declare enemies to be positive and revolutionary.)

Mao followed the tradition of Marxism-Leninism, and the tradition followed by the CPC incorporating the theories of Mao is called Marxism-Leninism-Mao Zedong Thought. Maoism is a separate trend, that selectively takes and decontextualises individual slogans of Mao's. Unlike Marxism-Leninism, Maoism has had not been successful in carrying out revolutions and seizing state power. Maoism leans on an association to a correct and successful revolutionary, Mao, while actually being unrelated to his political theory. Anecdotally, Maoists also tend to try to associate other Marxist-Leninists with Maoism, by claiming that e.g. the Black Panther Party 'would have been Maoists', positioning Maoism as having the same relationship to Marxism-Leninism, as Marxism-Leninism had to Marxism itself (which is to say, Marxism-Leninism is the theory of Marxism, in the age in which imperialism has become the principal contradiction in society; what exactly the new principal contradiction in society, that neccesitates Maoism, is, is unclear).

Maoism, like Trotskyism in the time of the Soviet Union, largely exists as an ultraleftist opposition movement to a large socialist state, and Maoists tend to forward imperialist lines on China and the CPC. Compared to anarchists, liberals, etc, Maoists are generally not as bad, and will hold generally correct lines on some matters. Though, at the end of the day, they are ultraleftists, and serve to denigrate anti-imperialist movements, and historically have commited serious errors that have put them in the camp of the enemy to the people. They also tend to form strange cults in imperial-core countries.

#to the other anon: yes，they did defend lucanamarca，there is a post from them on my blog doing so. #it's also the post where they claim marx never used the term 'middle classes' despite it appearing in the very first page of the manifesto #reblogs off bc last time i responded to an ask about the difference between mao's theory and maoism i got that lucanamarca post as a reply

question for my fellow mordrem-havers:

what was it like for them under the dragon's influence? if they weren't 'born' mordrem, what was their corruption experience? how are they handling life without the dragon?

"Does Shen Qiao even like Yan Wushi?"

I feel like it may be relatively easy for people to pick out "what does Yan Wushi like about Shen Qiao / what does YWS get out of yanshen." but I think a criticism/line of thought I see around is people struggling with "well what does Shen Qiao get out of all of this?" and like, "does SQ even like YWS, what with how YWS annoys him and gets him angry all the time."

But I think that actually is the crux of their relationship, lol. Because if you think about it, to everyone else, Shen Qiao is this lofty ideal, this untouchable immortal/仙, maybe even this obstacle or goal to conquer or shoot down.

Who else treats him casually and teases him and pokes at him to get emotional reactions out of him because they like that about him?

If he wants to seek people who treat him with respect and reverence, he just has to step out into the city square - hell, he just has to travel out and random people he meets are likely to treat him with that sort of dazzled awe or reverence too (we literally see this happen several times in the course of the novel).

So yeah, I think joking not joking, YWS makes him angry and feel Emotions and he likes that, YWS is enrichment for him, YWS pushes his buttons and his boundaries but reframing that it's pushing him out of his comfort zone and like hardening him off to the elements and realities of the world like a gardener with plants out of the greenhouse. But also, YWS treats him like a person, like a man, and not like Shen-daozun, Shen-daozhang, Shen-zhangjiao. To Yan Wushi, Shen Qiao is Shen Qiao. (and he loves to tease the shit out of him hehe (￣▽￣) )

CONVERSELY! This also gives Shen Qiao a space to *be* Shen Qiao. With Yan Wushi, he does not have to be Shen-daozun, Shen-daozhang, Shen-zhangjiao. He does not have to always be magnanimous and generous and a bastion of righteousness. These are in his nature, yet, but it's not ALL of his nature - he is, after all, still a man, a human, with human emotions -- including the full breadth of human emotions. Yes Yan Wushi annoys him and he shows it, but it's specifically BECAUSE of that that they are closer than him and anyone else in the world. He can "be himself" around Yan Wushi, he can get worked up and be petty and be snippy, and it's fine and won't cause catastrophes or undesired splashdown sociopolitical effects.

But also, he (lets himself?) get worked up by Yan Wushi - they HAVE that level of intimate understanding with each other where they can be like this and not have feelings hurt in any irreparable way. This isn't something that SQ does (lets himself do?) with just anyone, which we see throughout the novel reflected in his internal narration and comportment. So really, the fact that he DOES get annoyed with YWS shows that they are on a different, more "real" level with each other than SQ is with anyone else.

And like, they didn't get there in a day, sure, but imo we definitely see through the novel how they get there, so imo, the yanshen relationship is incredibly justified.

(I also say this bc I think literally every "I've connected the two dots" moments I've had in my reread, I would metaphorically flip the page only to be met with that connection I'd made spelled out on the page by MXS lmao. Like... yeah okay MXS *shakes your hand* you know your stuff. oh and also because I do think there may be some level of skepticism about yanshen esp from SQ's side floating around lol, but like... MXS did the legwork! yes chapter 45 happened, yes YWS never "apologizes" with words, but that doesn't mean that they don't share a deep mutual understanding of themselves and each other by the end, nor that they haven't moved past the events of literally 83 chapters ago, 96 if you count the extras -- a whole literal two-thirds of the novel ago. Like, I know we piss on the poor here and many educational systems around the world are in shambles these days, but work on developing reading comprehension skills, pls :') )

(lmao rip this post got long AGAIN. well, hopefully at least some people are reading all of this lol.)

#qian qiu #thousand autumns #qian qiu meta #yan wushi #shen qiao #mood is another great idea by ME dot meme #anyway here is my latest hot take! inspired by a meta post I glanced at from ages ago that I did not actually read properly #bc I think even then I Disagreed with the thoughts on it and thought it was kind of lukewarm lol #when like... I think SQ is also insane for YWS - it's just harder to see if you're approaching it from a conventional kind of interp #and also bc YWS is so much more vocal/ostentatious with his brand of craziness lol #but like. I very much ascribe to the 'actually SQ is like padme amidala' school of thought (that I coined lol) #and it's like. when you let go of 'but who would DO that/think that' and just accept. he does. and what does it say about him #it all starts to make sense #also yes I did this in a sort of long-winded reblog lol but now I'm making it its own post #hopefully this one is a bit more uhh concise than the last one now that my thoughts have percolated and set (as with a mousse) some more

[chemicalarospec]

my favourite part of Death Note is that it's an excellent critique of how ridiculous and horrible police/policing ideology/punitive justice is when taken to its natural conclusion/extreme, but the old man writing it absolutely did not have that in mind -- as evidenced by the fact that he had the Good Normal Police take down This Unhinged Freak Who Thinks We Should Kill Criminals (tho tbf I do think it's a pointed critique of the death penalty - "it's still murder even if they're death row criminals" like it's not spelled out but it's pretty obvious the death penalty is murder too then. But the author kinda gives up on acknowledging the normal "justice" system isn't aren't 100% prefect by the end). like I'm not 100% certain but I do think Light's dad was just made a policeman for plot convenience & possibly to explain why criminals take up so much space in Light's head, not because the Kira's ideology could only be developed by the child of a cop. (L would have used that as evidence it was the case.) Also the author said Mr. Cop Father is good.

#i have this idea that children natrually take more extreme positions than their parents b/c parenst will hide their misgivings when they #think the position they nominally believe in is the right one. esp if it relates to their job. #death note #light yagami #Soichiro Yagami #yagami light #death note analysis #yes this is in contrast to the post about 'god' i just reblogged. wanted to make it clear i see light and his father #as having essentially the same ideology. i mean his dad disagrees with kira but like. light literally got it all from him. #light who wants to make his father proud and deicdes his dad doesn't understand his own ideology when he rejects kira... #okay but legit i think the reason why kira upset those international cops is because THEY couldn't be hte ones to kill the criminals? like #it was only because Kira was an outside force not part of the institutions? that's kidna the vibe i got at the beginning of the manga #i said this #i think i might hae spelling critique the british way? not sure how else to spell it tho. i always put the 'u' in 'favourite' btw #chem's death note arc #this has been in my head for like months now but only got the motivation to type it out bc of that last post lol

One thing that I go crazy over is that Joshua didn't actually lie. He never said he wasn't the Composer. He never said he didn't kill Neku. Every single thing he said has always been partially true or at least not false, or impossible to verify. But he has never ever actually lied in any way. Prove me wrong.

#I'M GOING CRAZY OVER THIS. #you know i myself wrote like today that Joshua lied because it's always easier to say 'he lied' #instead of 'he said something that wasn't false so he didn't lie he just didn't mention the truth' because like. #it always FEEL like he lied. but he didn't #bastard boy. i hate him (affectionate) #twewy #joshua kiryu #léa rambles #yes this is about the last post i reblogged but i didn't want to out my rant on the pretty art #especially since it's just about the caption yknow #anyway. i'll die on this hill #joshua fans come for me i'm ready. (i'm gonna be proven wrong in a minute probably but it's been nice knowing you all)

[stuck-in-the-ghost-zone]

what kind of cratures do you think the trigun gang would be?

CREATURES IN GENERAL OR SEA CREATURES. BECAUSE MY FRIEND MONTY N I WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT TRIGUN FURSONAS THE OTHER DAY. but i am the sea creature guy at heart so im gonns give u those i hope that is ok 😌 there are many benefits to being a marine biologist.

Vash: he is... so very shark coded to me. everyone looks at him and sees a dangerous killing machine. frequently covered in scars. do u see the connection here. he is specifically a thresher shark to me because of the whole sharpshooter thing and also the sad sad puppydog eyes 💙

Wolfwood: i am torn between two different types of eels for him. giant morays are more aesthetically pleasing but personally i have to go with a wolf eel both for the name and because ive worked with these guys before and theyre sooooo cool so im biased

Meryl: not technically a sea creature because she is just so bird coded to me. White-Tailed Tropicbird

Milly: is it cheating to have two cephalopods on this list. because i think i really want to say giant pacific octopus for milly. either that or a whale shark 💙 yes those are two completely different animals no i will not be taking criticism at this time

bonus Knives because i love him and i feel the most strongly about this one:

BOBTAIL SQUID.

... and also a bristle worm . for what i hope are obvious reasons

#NORMALLY THOUGH meryl is an egyptian plover #shes sooooo so very much an egyptian plover. hold on i made a post about that the other day ill reblog it again for u :] hehe #i worked at an aquarium last year and every time we would pull a bristleworm out of one of our tanks id be like ohhh my god its knives..... #i love every opportunity to push my sea creature knives agenda. hes so sea creature to me. hes so marine biologist to me. #OH MY GOD ALSO LIVIO. LIVIO IS A GOLIATH GROUPER TO ME . <3 #side note also . have you ever seen that picture of a hermit crab using a human skull as a shell #(<< the image is fake its photoshopped BUT) #thats legato. to me. except with a blueleg hermit crab. he is a blue leg hermit crab with a human skull for a shell #which is bullshit because i dont think legato deserves something that cool but alas it is unfortunately perfect for him #(<< this is /j i think legato is a cool and interesting character #i just think he has a punchable face and like 2 pretend i hate his guts cause its funny) #HI !!!! THANK U FOR GIVI G ME AN EXCUSE TO TALK ABT SEA CREATURES ILY <3333 #asks #madnessmadness #sorry if u meant like... actual land creatures. unfortunately i am the fish guy forever <3 #YES I REALIZE VASH AND KNIVES ARE TWO TOTALLY DIFFERENT CREATURES AND THAT MAKES NO SENSE BC THEYRE TWINS #BUT LIKE. I FEEL SO STRONGLY ABOUT BOTH OF THOSE THINGS #i could be persuaded to make knives a shark if needed bc there are so many cool shark species i could assign to him #but like. hes just soooo bobtail squid coded to me ive been saying that since i first saw his fuckin. snuggie in tristamp

im so completely obsessed with the loz au byler concept every single post of it I see I HAVE to reblog and then I'm in the tags losing my mind in all caps and then the post just says something like "I think a zelda byler au would be neat"

#this post prompted by the last one I reblogged where I realized that was critical disaster in the tags actually #the post: “which version of zelink does byler best fit?” me: “IT'S SKSW AND EVERYONE NEEDS TO TALK TO ME ABOUT THIS” #remember when wiseatom made a post that basically just said “thinking about a botw byler au” #and I actually honest to god got our mutuals in law to get them to unblock me so I could reblog it 10 times #and be like “YES I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT IT TOO” like that was insane behavior actually what is wrong with me #usually when people lose it about an au post the post is like. detailed. I just see the words “loz byler” and I just black out #so yeah. #anyway. I think I'm the originator of loz byler so most people probably?? associate with me #but in case anyone doesn’t I need you all to know that I'm loz byler person #if any of see an loz byler post make sure I see it if you have something to say say it TO ME #loz byler

Whenever someone says that they don’t do much with female characters in fandom because ‘they aren’t as developed as the men’, I still side eye the Hell out of them, because they do this shit even with canon works that do have developed female characters. They just don’t care about the women period. It’s misogyny. It’s always been misogyny.

How to tell I'm genuinely pissed: A Guide

So, I swear pretty liberally when I can, but the thing that's funny about that is a few years ago I would not have been able to. Due to my... intense Christian upbringing I wasn't able to bring myself to swear until maybe 4 years ago or so? First time I said shit on accident (which I may have just thought it, can't remember) I started profusely apologizing to God cause I was worried it'd get me a ticket to hell. All that fun stuff.

But the one thing that I've never been able to break out of swearing wise is not saying, "Oh my God," "Goddamn," or "Jesus Christ." Stuff like that. Mostly because of how one of the 10 Commandments directly says to not take God's name in vain, and because of that I can't bring myself to do it. So besides when I'm quoting something or reading out dialogue I can't ever bring myself to say those.

Except for just now, in which I have learned that anti choice assholes who try to make a point with a post that was talking about AN ONGOING GENOCIDE can make me actually say those.

#yes this is about that last post I reblogged #didn't wanna make it about me in the tags so I'm explaining just how rage filled I am here #hope that person takes a good long look in the mirror and evaluates their choices #to be real I actually do hope that they think this over cause I remember being on the pro life side of things a few years ago cause I- #didn't understand and my youth pastor made it sound like the most heinous act anyone could ever commit #but that still wouldn't explain the very much unwanted changing of the subject #again. read the room. and free palestine. #vent #kinda ig. mentioned my weird religious crises so yeah #phoenix prattles
