Question what is a serious academic way of expressing "is this device made for someone with boobs?" without falling on gendered language or explicitly mentioning boobs?

There is nothing different about this panel don’t worry about it c:

Thank you to Kamui personally for being the number one reason why content gets banned. 

BUT ANYWAY BUCKLE IN ITS TWIN TIME. VAMPIRE TWINS: REVEALED!

OH AND SPOILERS. SPOILERS FOR SERESU. SPOILERS FOR A THOUSAND YEARS.

As we’ve seen over and over again twins are a huge thing in the shared Tsubasa/xxxHolic suffering zone, but THESE twins are quite a fascinating parallel to some of the others. 

Like the Syaoran’s! Kamui is a clear echo of Autopilot Syaoran, being ruthless and uncaring to every world he visits as he’s focused on a singular goal (and person) above all else. Subaru in his suspended sleep prison then mirrors Lava Lamp, as they were both unconscious in magic water jars for a long period of time but still watched the events unfolding around them. There’s a slight possibility he could echo Our Original Syaoran too, depending on how alive his soul might be inside of Auto-Pilot, but that’s a thought for another day.

The Vampire Twins also echo the Fais. Again, Subaru in his magic preservation sphere is a parallel to where the Original Fai is being kept, his body also preserved by a feather, while Kamui in this panel in particular is a clear parallel to Fai/Yuui, in that he’s urging them to skip to the next world to avoid the man chasing them. And THIS parallel is absolutely incredible because it shows us just how Deeply Kind and Loving Fai is in his very soul, since he deviates from the pattern set up by Kamui and Autopilot Syaoran. Unlike the other two, he’s willing to give it all up - he changes his mind about not using magic, about skipping worlds as soon as possible, and cares so deeply for people that he loses half his magic on a halfbaked chance that he might save one of them, which is something Autopilot and Kamui would never do. And I think there’s something to be said that in Acid Tokyo especially, it’s Kamui and Auto-Pilot Syaoran who are the aggressors who violently maim the main cast, and Fai is the one trying to defend them. Which is incredible on its own, but is even more so against the backdrop of the other parallels.

I don’t think any of the other twins fit the pattern off the top of my head. The Chis, Mokonas, and Maru/Moro don’t really fit, but their presence does emphasise the artificial nature of some of the others. 

I’m tempted to put Sakura in this space, as she’s a clear fit for Subaru in her sleep, even more so once she’s in jam jar land, but she lacks a twin. Unless it was Xing Huo in some way, but sadly her death halts any further lines I can draw right now. I have my eye out though! 

Anyway anyway back to the ones that actually fit, Kamui matches Autopilot Syaoran - and do you think that might be a hint that there’s still hope for him? Kamui is a ruthless asshole who literally murders our Syaoran right before our eyes - but he’s also instrumental in saving Fai, and he’s not FRAMED as a villain (SOMEHOW) and remains passably friendly or at least neutral towards the X/1999 cast as well as the Tsubasa family. Hope for Syaoran then?? Will our son come back??? 

#I'm desperate here #I will take any hint I can find and run with it #Tsubasa catch up chronicle #Catch Up Acid Tokyo #Catch Up T118 #Tsubasa #and Twin Trauma Time #How fascinating that both the fais and the vampires care so deeply for each other #and yet Autopilot cares for nothing

Fuck it, I’m gonna take a gamble

Does anyone know if Minikisa, the author of this truly amazing story is writing somewhere else? On another website, under another name or something? I’ve tried googling and it’s not turned up anything else under that name (just the same stuff on some other websites).

I NEED TO KNOW IF THERE’S MORE WRITING BY THIS AMAZING AUTHOR!

#Of Heroes and Villains #Minikisa #Author Search #Help Me Tumblr You're My Only Hope #I'm Desperate Here #Also warning the story has a lot of smut and is on a smut-heavy website focusing specifically on genderfuckery and related tropes so #I.e. genderbending etc #BUT ITS SO GOOD #Story Recommendation #While I'm at it because really it's so good I just - #I NEED MORE

To him it counts. #Speaking of: I went sooooo long in life not realizing the 'hee hee let's compare hand sizes' was a flirt move. #I thought people were just genuinely curious about fingers and hands.

y'all remember when book fairs used to have those "banned books" display sections that advertised books based on that fact that they had been banned in schools in the past and everyone went "haha wow, it's crazy that they banned books like this! what a wacky thing to do!" haha........ yeah....... who would even do that......

#damien.txt #honestly i would prefer to go back to ppl using it as a marketing strategy than it just. happening! in my state! #i'm so tired fr morality wars make me want to curl up in a ball & choke #yeah sure the books are indoctrinating your child. the exact same way YOU. the parent. are indoctrinating them. #sorry it's from a different viewpoint i forgot that we're all trying for a homogenized society here. land of the free and all that. #just generally speaking the shit that is getting passed in my state.... truly beyond belief. #shoutout to the diversity programs that are fully just. getting defunded! by state law! how haha funny of them. #please get me out of here i'm desperate #us politics #politics

one big thing about polyshipping for me is, like. you know how some people will have their eyes opened to homoerotic relationships in media bc they'll realize, "wait, if these people were two different genders, i'd 100% assume they're into each other. i have a double standard that i never noticed"?

there's a polyamorous equivalent in certain media that's basically just. "if you didn't assume this character is monogamous, you would 100% believe they have crushes on & are dating all of their friends." OR, "if this character wasn't dating somebody else already, you would 100% interpret this new friendship of theirs as a crush/budding romance."

usually the creators of the media aren't thinking about polyamory when they make it! usually the creators of the media are thinking "i want this character's friends to be as important to them as their romantic partners, we don't get enough of that in media," which is great and true and also EXACTLY WHY IT WORKS AS A POLY NARRATIVE. people will be like you don't Have to polyship why can't you just let platonic relationships be important ugh 🙄 & i'm like i did my years in the "why can't two men just be friends why does everything have to be gay 🙄" trenches. you're not doing this to me. we're not doing it about polyshipping. we're skipping over that whole discourse cutscene because i am Too Tired For It. don't even start

sometimes characters are so full of love and affection and joy for so many people that i start gnawing off my hands about how polyamory isn't normalized. because i'll watch/read certain media and i'll be like. listen. this is a polycule. i know you don't know this because your creators don't know this and that is totally okay but you are a Wildly polyamorous person who's ambiguously trapped in the 2000s/2010s with Big Monogamy psyops eating your brain. please let me free you. please i can give you Everything .

PLEASE KISS YOUR FRIENDS

#what i'd give for more mainstream toh art of the lavender winter quartet that doesnt pair them off together ignoring the others in favor of #their canon romantic partner. what i'd give for explorations of relationships between close friends that arent just #'we have convos about how much we love our canon romantic partners who arent here 💕' #LIKE IT'S CUTE AND HARMLESS. BUT IT MAKES ME FEEL SO LONELYYY #most days i'm fine with no one in mainstream fandom loving the way i do or feeling the way i do. #then some days i wake up thinking about hunter and luz being each other's Types (TM) and feel like ive eaten drywall #aside from the trc ot6 theres like NO polycule that's more desperately 'YOU GUYS WOULD BE CANONICALLY ALL TOGETHER IN A DIFFERENT TIME #PERIOD' than lavwin. IT TORTURES ME. THEY ARE ALL IN LOVE #anyway. i gotta get some more sleep. #thanks for listening everyone. think about the big monogamy psyops in your life and add people to their relationships. it's hilarious

Trick or Treat~!

Pairing: Che'nya x Floyd (could be read platonically or romantically)

Summary: It's finally Halloween night, but Floyd is in a bit of a slump. However, the arrival of a curious companion may just make the Halloween party a bit more interesting for him.

Notes: This is my first attempt at something following a prompt - specifically, "Trick or Treat" for the 2023 TWST Rarepair Halloween event. I'm trying to get more comfortable/practiced with writing prose (which is why this wasn't posted on the 30th... oops), and only vaguely ended up following the prompt. I'm fairly happy with how this little piece turned out, though!

Tags: @dove-da-birb, @azulashengrottospiano, @inkybloom-luv, @eynnwwyjth, @officialdaydreamer00 (please let me know if you'd like to be included or excluded from future writing of mine, or only want to be included in specific types of creations)

Floyd wanted to take a break. 

It was Halloween, and all he had done the entire week was work, work, work. Getting costumes ready, decorating, helping with their dorm's presentation, plus cooking and serving at the Lounge, all on top of normal classes? 

Sure, it was fun, especially getting to show off Octavinelle's cool setup, and 'taking care of' those misbehaving visitors. But now? Everything felt draining and boring, and Floyd simply wanted to leave, which sucked because the actual Halloween party had just started!  

Maybe he should just ditch and go back to his dorm; being in a funk when everyone else is having fun around you is not enjoyable.  He slumped down on a bench and unwrapped a sweet he had picked up earlier, before wrapping it up again. Ugh, not even in the mood for that candy he wanted only a few minutes ago. 

As he shoved the sweet back into his pocket and was about to get up from the bench to leave, Floyd heard a rustle behind him. Someone was quietly humming, and… laughing? The sound gradually moved to his side, towards the empty side of the bench.  

“Trick or treat~”

Floyd turned to face the voice. "Listen, man, I'm not in the mood to—” he froze, staring at the figure beside him. “Hang on a second, where's your body!?"

A toothy smile came to the face of the head that currently floated beside Floyd. "Oh, it's here.... or maybe it's there." A pair of hands materialized on either side of this boy's head, followed by the rest of his body. 

“I'm just kidding. Mind if I take a seat? I’d like to rest up before I keep purrowling around and startling people.”

Floyd blinked, then raised an eyebrow. “Uh, go for it.” 

This guy was... weird, and it was hard to tell if he'd be annoying, or interesting. "You don't go here, do ya? At least, I’ve never seen you before. And you’re no ghost, either.”

The cat-like boy shook his head, his jewellery jingling softly. "I'm just passing through for the festivities and collecting treats. Scaring some people, too. That’s loads of fun. And it's always nice to see my friends let loose." 

Floyd had a vague memory surface. "Ohh... you must be that RSA boy who's friends with Sea Turtle and Goldfishie." 

"'Sea Turtle' and 'Goldfishie', hey? Those are good names for my green and red friends. Cats are known for liking fish." He leaned forward, his grin growing. “Artemiy Artemiyevich Pinker. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”

Floyd nodded, “Floyd Leech. It's nice to meet you, too.” He looked curiously at the boy beside him, taking in his shaggy hair, piercings, and impish smile.

"You're not what I expected.” Floyd smiled, "But you seem fun, Catfish. I didn't think Goldfishie would get along with someone so... interesting."

Che'nya's eyes lit up slightly. "Catfish? Heh heh heh, most people call me Che'nya, but I guess that works. And I’ve heard some… interesting stories about you, too."

He stretched his legs out in front of him, leaning back with his arms behind his head as he sighed. "But yeah, I don't think Riddle could shake me if he tried." 

"I'm almost jealous." Floyd tipped his head slightly. "Most of the time, Goldfishie likes to swim away before I can play with him."

Che'nya laughed, "Well, if you're wondering, he 'swam off' that way." He pointed off to the side. “Just don’t be rough with him. I don’t like people mistreating my friends.”

Floyd looked off into the crowd where he had pointed, and let out a small laugh. “Alright, good to know. Maybe I’ll find him later, if I feel like it”, he smiled and sat back. “And Goldfishie’s stronger than he looks, but I guess you’d know that.”

Che’nya nodded, then leaned closer with a mischievous glint in his eye. "You know, I bet we could do something that would really surprise him.” 

Floyd turned slightly towards Che’nya, and flashed a smile. “Yeah, we probably could. I think we should talk more in the future, Catfish. You seem pretty fun.” 

Che’nya grinned, “You seem pretty fun, too.”

"Well,” he stretched his arms above his head. “I think I’m going to go and find some more treats… and play some more tricks tonight. I'll catch you around, Floyd." 

With a haunting giggle echoing in his ears, Floyd watched as the boy beside him faded into nothingness, just the same way he had arrived. 

What a weird guy.

Floyd unwrapped the candy he had pocketed earlier, then popped it into his mouth. Maybe this party was worth staying at after all.

clara reaching back into the unknown darkness for several long, agonizing seconds "i'm right please god say i'm right" AND THEN SHE IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the core of their relationship plays out right there: clara can and will defy death, and the doctor will always save clara, even when it seems impossible. (and it's crucial that this is the first really doctor-y moment he has as twelve.) the growth and distortion of these fundamental beliefs drive the two of them to their eventual end.

#going through deep breath induced madness here on this day #that shot of her reaching out into the unknown darkness. yeah it's bouncing around my brain like a windows screensaver #something about it makes me so. like. you can physically FEEL the nothingness there and the desperation+fear she has. whew #also “i'm right aren't i say i'm right” and thats when he grabs her.

Passing on advice I received growing up as someone who grew up around alternative adults of several flavors and heavily tattooed folks with "job killer" tattoos (and was raised by one such person!) that I have had to put into practice as someone who is alternative themself now:

If you are a young alternative person, it cannot be understated how important having a couple "normie" pieces of clothes in your closet "just in case" is.

Sometimes you will have a job interview, a doctor's appointment, a housing application, or some other kind of obligation where for your own safety and security you need to tone yourself down for a brief period of time.

It's not fair. It's bullshit. But sometimes you have to eat your vegetables you know? And it's a cost benefit analysis and it depends on the things you personally prioritize in your own life, but sometimes minor sacrifices have to be made in order to keep yourself safe and get yourself things you need to do so.

#thinking about this because i'm actively toning myself down for a doctors appointment right now #because i need my T and i can't have them creating biases against me and jeopardize that #because to me it's worth the temporary dissatisfaction of not wearing my jewelry or any make up or my favorite clothes #and covering my tattoos #to get a medication that i desperately need #like. like i said - personal cost benefit analysis is important here #but yeah #sometimes we gotta do things we don't like to get something we need #original post
