Truly great moment was Ryo fresh out the hospital jumping out of his car and sucker punching this poor guy to steal his motorcycle. Imagine having to file that police report about how you got knocked the fuck out and your shit stolen by some shirtless blond severely injured 17 year old freak. I would just let it go. Thankfully that guy didn’t have to live with the shame for much longer though considering how the story goes

#ryos satan spidey senses telling him his ride or die is in trouble is one thing but him managing to grab a gun on the way out is always #funny also . i especially liked in the ova where he’s also wearing a black cloak that you have never seen him wear before . like did he stop #by his house on the way there #like I mean I guess it could have still been in his jacket. maybe hospitals in the 70s just didn’t care about that kind of thing #but in the ova he has a full on sniper rifle so. i think they had the idea for that one shot and were just like guys this has to happen #ugh guys I promise I liked devilman because of the themes and stuff okay I promise I’m a smart media comprehending boy but it’s just #of course I’m a little obsessed withthis gay freak . he’s entertaining until . uh until it isn’t fun anymore. yknow . #actually why was I embarrassed about liking a character in a story that’s actually normal

Apparently Zionists are harrassing Sudanese people who're risking death to post updates from their own genocide because they can't tell the Sudanese flag 🇸🇩 apart from the Palestinian one. 🇵🇸

Mfers 1) can't even identify what they hate so much, 2) can't leave any Black people alone if their lives depended on it.

#''harrassment'' doesn't really cover it #i've never seen this level of blood-curdling dehumanizing outright genocidal hate from so many people before #they're swarming on twitter. it used to be pretty bad even here but now I think it's palestinians dealing with the worst of it #the lower the number of bigots on a site the more exclusively they go after their targets #leading to their harrassment being invisibilized to the unaffected majority who gaslights them about it on top of everything else #i remember the level of tankie harrassment of ukrainians last year. not that it stopped #but it's gotten worse now if anything because so many of them have jumped on palestine bc it validates their narrative #maybe it's why eastern european zionists are so much worse #or at least more visible #i don't think it's normal for so many genocides to be going on at the same time? unsure #palestine has thrown all the others into sharp relief but palestine alone has us so helpless #that it's making us too drained to give as much attention to the others #free palestine #free sudan #gaza genocide #palestinian genocide #sudanese genocide #online harassment #online hate #zionazis

Real Emotional Labor Hours

#like. #i say ONE slightly emotionally vulnerable thing in a Christmas card. that is IT! #and then the next day i’m just unsuspectingly chillin - flipping through my Grammy’s book of Dutch oven recipes #and suddenly i’m being poked in the arm and whisked away to my Grandpa’s office because everything is a business meeting to him #and he’s crying (i have never seen him cry before) and having this insane joint conversation wherein he says he thinks i’m gonna die of hrt #and also gives me the hospital bracelet that was cut off my father’s dead body???? #so like. ?????? UH!!!!!!!!! #and this was like. RIGHT before dinner - for the record #so obviously i’m doing GREAT and super normal #and if you ever wondered why i’m Like This - this is why #i was assigned Haunted at eight months old #and all i can do about it is explain hrt to my Grandpa so that he maybe stops being so fucking weird about it!!!!!!! #jesus CHRIST. #one (1) normal holiday family gathering PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!! #I AM NO LONGER FUCKING ASKING #death // #sorry just realized i should tag that #ughhhhh

So like, I have been having this weird experience analyzing the Harry Potter books lately, and please indulge me while I talk about J.K. Rowling's weird writing.

My goal was simple: read the Harry Potter books to find which parts were influenced/inspired by actual magic that people do in real life. My theory was that there was a lot more magic in the earlier drafts of the books, and that she took a lot out due to fear of backlash from America's ongoing reenactment of the Satanic Panic. For instance it's quite obvious some of their magic lessons got dumbed down so that very little of what's in the books could actually be tried in real life, and I think she took out a lot of astrology.

I also wanted to do a couple errands along the way, one of which was to check and see if it's explicitly written in the books that Harry is a cis man. I'm a trans man, SO I'D KNOW. (I'm a slow reader so all I can say for now is: the FIRST book does not explicitly state Harry is cis, but if he's trans, there's some implied worldbuilding with items like the Sorting Hat that comes into play. Also I'm fairly sure the Dursleys would have gone along with him being trans because that meant Petunia could reuse Dudley's old clothes instead of having to get girl stuff. I'mma save any other explanations on the topic for a video on it.) The reason I'm doing this read-through is because I think J.K. doesn't know anything about trans people and didn't think to make sure her wizard world was trans exclusionary. AND IT TURNS OUT THAT WE TRANS MAGIC USERS HAVE A WAY OF WIGGLING INTO MOST PLACES UNDETECTED BY NORMAL MEANS.

While I was doing the re-read I encountered two sort of broad revelations:

There's a lot of old stuff in there like Latin and Greek and tradcraft stuff, but also modern magic of the more recent era... but the incorporation of modern magic cuts off somewhere before the 80s. These books read like they were written by a early 70s magician. Like they honestly read like J.K. is a magical practicioner who just didn't read any magic books written after 1972 and never discovered what Chaos Magic is, (and also, never heard of most of what happened in the Cold War). I have never found a writer, in fiction or non-fiction, more dedicated to referencing magical stuff that most magicians alive today just don't care about anymore.

J.K. Rowling's knowledge of child abuse laws and general social mores regarding treatment of children also ceased to update itself by about the 80s. I keep getting distracted by this and having to make more side-notes about corporal punishment and researching stuff like when caning was banned in England. (HInt: it was banned before Harry went to school, so in Book 1 it's fuckin weird that he assumes that Wood is the name of a cane he's about to be whipped with.) Like, this woman raised children in the modern era, she should know when canes stopped being used.

So like, when I mention that I'm doing some research in this area, this is the sort of stuff I'm reading for and the sort of stuff I'm encountering. I haven't been talking much about this journey because it seems like any time anyone brings up anything Harry Potter up whatsoever, we've got to talk about how J.K. is a terf in every other sentence. But like, y'all: I hope you slow down and re-read the books, because J.K. Rowling is a terf who is also a child abuse apologist and normalizer. She is a terf who is also a horrible fat-shamer. She is a terf who is also an ableist with a huge problem writing about mental illness. And she's a terf who's also a sexist who undermines feminism with her actual writing of female characters.

And I honestly think she double and triples down on the terf stuff so that people will only talk about that. I think it's worth talking about the fact that not only is she an awful person in the terf way, but like, every other way imaginable too. I think it's worth talking about the fact that with all the obvious biases she has, the group she CHOOSES to publicly marginaiize is trans women, and I think she makes that choice because she thinks that she'll get more allies that way. That if she wore all of her issues on her sleeve like she wears the terfness, that she'd lose a lot of allies, that a lot of prestigious charities would stop having anything to do with her. That she uses the identity of "terf" as a shield because she knows that certain people will protect a terf, and she does this specifically so people won't notice how much of a sexist, abuse apologist, ableist, fatphobe etc she ALSO is. Opinions that could lose her a lot of money and clout if people remember them enough.

She's trying to pick on who she thinks is the most unpopular kid in the class out of the hopes that the bullies in class will be her friends instead of pile up on her, but if the bullies knew what she really thought of them, THEY wouldn't even be her friends.

Also like... I just want someone else to read the actual words in these books and see what fucked-up choices she made as a writer. I think a LOT of people remembering these books are actually remembering the movies, which are way more different from the books than you might expect.

#this got long and rambly #every time i try to read the books i find a new thing that is weird #i had to look up when milk bottle delivery stopped in england #i know so many things about knickerbockers now #it seems like the only reason platform 9 3/4 is used is for the parking and that's so weird #why would you name something futuristic a 2000 when that's only 9 years from when the first book is set #who leaves a one year old on a doorstep #how come the dursleys are so affluent to have late-era milk bottle delivery at the doorstep #yet no 4AM joggers in the neighborhood who would have seen Harry before Petunia did #these books are an assault upon all logic and I am mad and angry that there is a theme park based on them that fails the ADA #you're telling me wizards can hide an entire castle yet they can't add a ramp to a shop's doorway #oh gods i'm never going to stop get me out of these tags I need a snack and a hug

okay wait yes we all know that ATLA (2024) sucks ass but can we stop calling the actors white because they don't fit your limited worldview? you can talk about bad writing without being racist

#it's funny because they never specify who they're talking about but you know who they're talking about #i've seen so many people call the actors white & even suggest attacking them for it & it's like??? dude????? stop???????? #i should've expected this. people were complaining that the water tribe clothes didn't look ''savage'' enough #i'm gonna throw up why is there so much racism in this fandom? has this always been a big problem or is this new #& before anyone starts with the ''unrecognized tribes'' thing a lot of tribes are unrecognized. the Métis are unrecognized #not everyone needs to fit a specific image you have in your head. & fuck the US government tbh #if i was told i couldn't participate in my own fucking culture because i don't fit the stereotypical description i think i'd knife that guy #anyway if you have like actual proof besides ''the US government says so'' i'd love to see it #like is their whole family from Europe but their great great great great grandmother's nephew is Cherokee #otherwise i don't wanna see people shitting on the actors for being ''too white'' for your tastes #or their clothes being ''too clean & well made for an arctic people'' (still can't believe that was a complaint i saw) #shit on the ridiculous amount of unnecessary CGI & the tiktok shots & the awful writing instead please

tagged by @lemondropbois and @kitnita and @lovethygoalie!! I love having so many writer mutuals from such diverse points of fandom. I wasn't gonna do this because I am under a severe writing deadline however I am also so deeply frustrated right now that a nice meme may cheer me up. or make me worse. unclear

nothing more important to me than sparks on don kirshners rock concert in 1975 where russell is going absolutely insane the entire time

#and his little outfit with the tie :) #the in the future performance is so silly i wish it wasn’t all dubbed over #except why are half the comments from extremely boring people being like ‘omg what was he onnnn russell needs to lay off the coke😹😹’ #every sparks video. they never stop #have you never seen a man be SILLY before

I'm always talking about how thinking about Jon and Jon-El's parallels makes me wanna eat cardboard but today I thought about how very different Jordan and Jon-El are when it comes to the whole attention/fame thing is and I just..

#how jon-el never asked nor wanted the fame and attention but his parents pretty much forced him into it after he revealed his powers #then he started to lean into the attention he was getting because he never felt seen or heard in his family #and when his parents tried to parent him he wasn't having it because they never cared about him before #and why should he have to listen to them when they're the ones who put him in these situations #they sold him out to fame and decided they'd rather be his managers instead of his parents #it's not a surprise he pretty much laughed in their faces when they tried to parent him #jordan and jon-el both have 'parents are the reason we act this way' in common #except jordan's is because they babied and spoiled him while jon-el's is they neglected him and ignored his feelings #i'mma stop here because i could talk about jon-el forever #his character is so interesting and complex for only being a few episodes #superman and lois #jon-el

#I'VE GROWN INTO A DEEPLY UNLOVABLE ADULT: playlist. #I know this is kind of a weird place to start with misao BUT I swear this song is relevant to her character jsjsj #During the 400 years she spent in Japan after she left home she had actually become acquainted with Japanese Pirates. #And she had joined them on their ' travels ' ( which basically just means raids / illegal exploits JSJSJ ). #But something unexpected happened during her time spent with them. There was one other woman on the ship and of course Misao wanted to try- #to connect with them as a result. And Misao was left being in complete wonder of her as she had never seen someone be so agile with a sword #before that point since the other woman in question ( her name was reika ) was known for being a BRILLIANT swordfighter. and due to her- #bunk being right above reika's they often found themselves have late night convo's with each other. And over time Misao felt this- #overwhelming feeling of warmth within her heart whenever she was around her as they soon began spending pretty much every single waking- #moment of their time together. And because Misao had never experience romantic love before this point she had thought she just held a deep- #admiration for Reika for a while. But then Reika volunteered to show Misao how to sword-fight and that's when she knew that she loved Reika #Because every single time she would physically correct Misao's stance with her hands or show her how to do a move more properly- #Misao felt this uncontrollable desire to kiss her. She just thought that Reika was so beautiful. And she wanted to have the spirit- #of a ' warrior ' just like her. So she reallyyy wanted for Reika to be her gf and after having a nightmare one night- #(because she is unfortunately plagued with them sometimes) and Reika expressed her concern for Misao by telling her that she could sleep- #in the same bed as hers Misao could've sworn that her heart stopped for a second and she was hesitant to at first but crawled in bed next- #to her anyhow in the end and after just laying there for a bit Reika turned to face her + just look into her eyes for a moment Misao asked- #if she could kiss her and Reika laughed and said something akin to ' oh if you only knew how long i've wanted for you to say that. - #of course you can ' and from that moment on Misao + Reika were a couple. And Misao was sooo in love with her that she wanted to find a way- #to make her immortal too. But decided not to when the topic was met with Pity by Reika whenever Misao finally revealed to her what she- #really is. Though the years that Misao spent with her were perhaps the happiest she's ever had. And she still loves Reika to this day. #She is also the reason why Misao wants to perfect her sword-fighting skills. Because she wants to make Reika proud of her. #... wherever she may be. #NO SLEEP OF THE INNOCENT. NOT FOR YOU: character study.

It is so incredibly frustrating to watch everyone talk about how fanatic Across the Spiderverse is and all the important themes and representation, while I have also been one of the people desperately waiting for it to come out. And now that it has I just straight up can't. Sure, I could try, but who could possibly enjoy a movie they can't look at half the time while having a migraine for likely the entirety of it?

"Everyone should watch this movie! It's so great!" I would fucking love to, but unfortunately it is wildly inaccessible to me - and straight up genuinely legitimately DEADLY to others - so I just have to sit back and sadly watch everyone who is not photosensitive and epileptic praise it constantly while never acknowledging what a slap in the face it is to entire groups of disabled people.

I can only imagine how black epileptic animation fans feel right now.

#apparently it might have a forearm crutch user with EDS in it? #I've heard people say so but i haven't found any pictures of them actually in the movie itself #do you understand how BADLY i crave forearm crutch representation? #do you know how many people learned about the existence of forearm crutches and why they're used through me? #i have never met another person in real life who'd seen them before #and no one could figure out why they would be used instead of a cane or wheelchair #i get giddy just from seeing artists on Tumblr draw themselves or characters with it #i think I'd cry seeing it in a movie - seeing specifically someone who uses it for the same issues as me even #and the first movie I've heard of that might actually have that? #i don't even get to watch it #because the team couldn't stop to consider people like me for two goddamn seconds #PLEASE don't forget about that when talking about the movie #i am actually begging people at this point to show up for us so that maybe one day we'll get a version we get to watch too #please share even the SLIGHTEST bit of judgement - no matter how good it is otherwise - for the movie that could legitimately kill someone

[morganas-pendragons]

this episode of the last of us is phenomenal. not only do we get more background for Maria, we also get Jackson at its peak, the drop of Joel singing - DOES THAT MEAN WE GET TO HEAR PEDRO SING?!!?!?! - and SO much game dialogue, plus two of the most painful scenes to witness in the entire first part. Not to mention the diva cup. Like.. C'mon. I'm 24 and have NEVER seen periods mentioned in media the way they've done in this.

ALSO. THE SONG AT THE END.

The lyrics are SPOT. ON.

“I’m taking a ride with my best friend, I hope he never lets me down again. He knows where he’s taking me. Taking me where I want to be.”

She knows she's gonna be making a difference by getting to the Fireflies so a cure can be made, so that's clearly where Ellie wants to end up. She didn't think she'd love Joel at any point during this.

She does.

He let her down with his words and so sharply stating she's not his daughter and he's not her father. Then Joel ends up weeping alone because this feels like it's turning out to be like Sarah. That he's letting himself love again, and he's terrified he's gonna be the end of Ellie. Sarah died and Joel couldn't save her. He can't even entertain the same thing happening to Ellie.

The emotion in this episode by Pedro is fantastic. I knew he'd kill it just off of what I'd seen him do for Din before, but...

the brilliance

also, can we talk about the fact that Joel's struggling with panic attacks?

that makes his motivations during the entire episode so much more different. the whole conversation with Tommy about fear? The raw anguish in his expression, in his eyes? the way he is so terrified to have to witness another child be torn from him because he dared to let himself love again?

DRUCKMANN I AM AT YOUR DOOR
