You guys ever think about that scene in "An Ed Is Born" when Eddy gets the package from his brother full of baby stuff. And Edd is like "I think it is sweet that he still sees you as a little brother : )" and then Eddy just blows up and screams "I HATE BEING LITTLE 😡" and it suddenly gets very awkward so Edd just says "oookay 😶". I think about that scene a lot.

I started reading Me and Roboco out of boredom and nostalgia for Doraemon. I was expecting some crude gag manga with mean-spirited humor but i'm pleasantly surprised. A lot of the humor came from how nice the characters are to each others instead of the usual "wacky characters bullying the straight man butt monkey" i was expecting, just really wholesome friendship and found family stuff. I like that the main character, Bondo, is allowed to be wacky sometimes too, not just reacting to other characters' antics. The manga isn't without its problems tho, there some questionable stuff that got throw in sometimes (a probably racist panel, typical male characters perving on the girls stuff, etc. ) but they are minor enough that they didn't really affect my experience. The humor also relied on referencing other Jump's series a lot too, i stopped reading shounens so most of the jokes went over my head but i don't really mind it.

If you like the original Doraemon manga, Saiki K, Gintama or Crayon Shin-chan, you'll probably like this. Noted that Me and Roboco is a pure gag manga so you shouldn't expect any coherent plot or overarching story arc. It can also get repetitive sometimes but that's a plus from my personal opinion.

#westerners seem to hate this series #i kinda get why tho #its just not the type of thing i can see the majority of western audience enjoying #this series is also gayer than i expected of a doraemon parody #its a lot to unpack but tldr: basically almost all of the mc's male friends are in love with him #it played off as gags but not in the ew gay kinda way #they are more like. the most popular kid is obsessed with the mc. or the mc is his bestfriend's true love kiss. etc. #like i said #a lot to unpack #the mc bondo is pretty autistic coded too #but i fear that i'll get jumped if i say why i thought so haha #also also #regarding the fanservice #its surprisingly even tamer than doraemon #like there moments of the main character being pervy #but they went out of their way to not include fanservice creep shots of the girls #except for roboco but they are played for gags and roboco is an adult(?) #the female characters have lives outside of just existed as love interests too #they aren't perfect but it was definitely better than i expected #i'll finish the remaining chapters before i talk more about it #mini review #i think? #me and roboco #boku to roboco #manga

A Lot To Unpack There | Nike

Michael was coming over to help her unpack!

The flat was sort of a mess, boxes everywhere, every fan Nan owned on full blast, and Nan was getting kind of stressed about how long it was taking to organize everything. In the past, having to move every month for her rotations, she had gotten good at packing and unpacking in record timing. But this was different. This wasn’t a temporary little rental or a family friend’s spare room. This was her new home, for the time being.

She hoped Michael would understand. Her parents had made all kinds of comments about what snobs Uncle George’s kids were, especially Michael, since he was a famous racecar driver now, but Nan had hope. He seemed really down-to-earth. And she knew her parents were a little resentful. So she was cheery and upbeat when the doorbell ring. “Welcome in, welcome in!” Nan said brightly. “Sorry it’s a bit of a mess in here.”

My mom taught me more about self reliance than any of my father’s misguided efforts. His attempts were obvious and painful but at least he never blamed me for listening to them. At least when I took his lessons to heart he said good job. At least he was a fucking reliable and predictable constant.

No, I didn’t learn to rely on myself because my father yelled at me for crying, I learned that I am the only person I have because my mother never let the answer be anything else. If I was worried about something it was petty(stop bothering her), if I was scared of something it wasn’t real(stop bothering her), if I didn’t understand something I just had to work harder(stop bothering her).

She was the person who taught me that no one offering help is genuine. She was the person who literally told me people do not care about you unless it will help them, but she was also the person who promised time after time that I could come to her only to always smack me down.

I joke with her that if she didn’t want me to be so independent, she shouldn’t have let me cry myself to sleep as a baby, and that phrasing is a joke but it’s true that she never meant the comfort she promised. Nothing was ever free.

If I was crying and she hugged me, she never fucking hesitated to remind me that her mother wouldn’t do this. Wasn’t she such a good mother? Didn’t she love me so much? How could I be angry at her for loving me? Didn’t I know that I wasn’t the person who was upset, because she was upset, and I was the ungrateful brat making her upset? Why did I have to be so mean to her? Couldn’t I remember how even my father said I needed to be kinder?

(What a cruel thing to say — she still says it when I talk about being a teenager. Twist the goddamn knife. I’m sorry that I was a teenager and mean sometimes. I’m not sorry.)

If you play with the big boys and you get hurt don’t come crying to me, that’s the rules of the game. (But don’t listen too closely because if your brother plays with you and your friends, you have to make sure nothing harms him. Don’t listen too closely because if you meet fists with fists you’ll have to write an apology letter, never mind the names they call you. Don’t listen too closely, just don’t come crying to me.)

(But I’ll always hug you as long as you need. Not like my mother, she would pat me on the shoulder and say enough. Make sure you submit your reason for crying in advance so I can decide if you’re worth it. If you’re not I’ll remind you how you’ve hurt me and how you can’t feel upset, how you need to stop guilting me, stop lying to me, just tell me the truth — I know what it is and you’re lying.)

I’m okay, but if I’m not — I just need to write things down more. I just need to let her check in on me and tell me what to do and if only I just listened to her. I’m okay, but if I’m not — maybe it’s just PTSD, and maybe that’s just depression, and maybe that’s just “you never get off your ass and out of your room.”

(When I’m home, she never adds. Despite my life, it only counts if she lets it count, and I am a liar who cannot be trusted to report accurately on my experiences. So if I go out during the day it’s not real, I’ve been in here all day, can’t I fucking contribute to the family? Don’t I know I’m not an island?)

I’m not drowning, that’s just the reflex babies have. I’m fine.

There's a lot going on in the third gif of that BC set I posted today

Clark's tongue

Bey sliding up into frame with that smirk

Alex's stare

Ace's 90s boy band hair

Finlay's tats

There's a lot going on

How does the crow fly? Does he sleep in the sky? To nap on clouds is my greatest wish.

How does the bass swim? I would love to ask him. Or her. But I don't speak fish.

I'm stuck inside a man's body. I'll never fly, so I'll just do karate. Inside this man's body.

How does the plant grow? I think my teacher knows. But that day I must have missed class.

How does the tick suck? I regret I have to pluck him off my pitbull's ass. You see I'm stuck inside a man's body. I'll never fly, so I'll just do Pilates. Inside this man's body. 🎶

"For a moment or two I could see nothing, as the shadow of a cloud obscured St. Mary’s Church and all around it. Then as the cloud passed I could see the ruins of the abbey coming into view; and as the edge of a narrow band of light as sharp as a sword-cut moved along, the church and the churchyard became gradually visible. Whatever my expectation was, it was not disappointed, for there, on our favourite seat, the silver light of the moon struck a half-reclining figure, snowy white."

I think it's incredibly important to remind folks on testosterone or folks who want to reverse patterned baldness about their options, but man, does it sometimes suck wondering how much of our insecurities about our hair stem from backwards beliefs that to strive towards beauty is not only preferable but "makes you good."

As someone with a rather masculinized body pre-medical transition, patterned baldness has always seemed neutral. Hair is incredibly important (hell, much of my own energy is spent on my hair because I like it), but the pressure to have hair, to have hair the "right way" is something that I absolutely loathe.

I'm not here to judge people who don't want patterned hair loss or baldness, I'm here to say that those traits will never make you lesser. Not only is it neutral, but it is also just as worthy and beautiful.

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #mtf #nonbinary #this especially goes for folks who may be transfem or trans women experiencing patterned hair loss/baldness #i love you and think you are gorgeous<3 #i mentioned trans folks going on t because that's a lot of my own experience #i already had a somewhat masc hairline before t and now it's just settling in... #...i found that i'm fortunate in that way for having an already masculine body and i think that's why my changes are more... #...like unpacking your house rather than moving to a new home if that makes sense #but i find that the beauty culture around hair adds even more unnecessary stress for those who want or value their hair #i am beauty culture's number one hater
