sometimes i wonder about how the homophobic conservative christian dude i debated with a lot about lgbtq+ stuff back in 10th grade will react if he found out that his debating-rival that he actually really respects apparently is actually bi. then just a while ago i also wondered on what his reaction would be like if he knew that his ex-girlfriend (who is one of my best friends) who once shared his conservative views is now very vocal about LGBTQ+ issues and also uses she/they pronouns. welll okay he would probably feel very pissed which made me feel a bit scared bUT THEN I REMEMBERED that me and his ex's friends and former classmates, heck even the dude's own friend circle would probably beat him to a pulp if he even dares to say anything bad towards our sexualities, identities and the rsst pf the LGBTQ+ community so um yea now i'm no longer scared woo

Roses are red
Violets are blue
This ‘poem’ sucks but
Happy Birthday to you
(Note: there was originally like eight more cynical lines about how birthdays mean you’re that much closer to the end, but I scrapped it because when I try to use dark humor it usually just ends up kinda gruesome.
There’s probably something wrong with me and someday we’ll find out what that is, but today is not that day)
Congratulations! @(^-^)@  You were only sixteen but your mind was older- now you’re seventeen, but I’m sure the latter part of that quote still applies and the blog will blow us all away even more than before! Hope you have a wonderful, satisfying birthday despite how non-stop you are (don’t forget to take a break when you can) and one last time, congratulations!
(also depending on how the timezone difference between Croatia and Korea works, we’re only a day or two apart- my birthday is March 30th, which is tomorrow over here! :D so cool)
“Whatever you say ma'am, Furuta will pay for his behavior! I’ll use tumblr, I’ll write under a pseudonym(Evans)- you’ll see what I can do to him!
But at least since he’s dead, you can finally speak your mind?”
I know, I still like the idea of trans Mutsuki better but other than any hints dropped in canon, I just think it’s very unlikely that TG as a Japanese manga will add a 100%, conmpletely confirmed LGBTQ character. I believe Ishida himself is pretty open towards the LGBTQ community (Nico’s portrayal is a bit questionable but in an omake Yomo is shown thinking that anyone he dates could become Touka’s aunt OR uncle (though of course that could be a translation error), Shuu is a subversion of manga stereotypes regarding gay men and TG in general has a lot of interesting themes regarding sexuality and gender), but idk, the idea of a mainstream seinen manga like TG adding LGBTQ themes that go beyond heavy implication seems unlikely (though who knows, it could happen).
Mutsuki just makes me bitter. FIrst all the arguments about their gender and now I don’t even like them anymore (they used to be an adorable cinnamon roll but after recent chapters, while I still feel for them they’ve become a lot less sympathetic).
(Also this just makes me sound salty but I recently came across a very aggressive blog dedicated to reminding everybody that MUTSKI IS MALE AND YOU ARE ALL WRONG and reading through it just made me kinda mad and irritated all at once. Once a trans person made a post saying that despite being trans themself they didn’t think Mutsuki was, offering several manga moments as decent evidence and being quite polite, and the mod of this blog answered them with what basically boils down to 'lol no it’s possible to be transphobic even if you’re part of the LGBTQ community and you are clearly one of these people’.)
Don’t worry, cinnamon roll Hinami isn’t being forgotten! :) I’m really looking forward to her meeting Akira. I’ve always liked Hina but these recent chapters pushed her up on my ‘favorite characters’ list- she’s just way too sweet.
Reading the manga: wth Ishida you are officially my least favorite person like even Isayama is better than you
Reading Ishida’s translated tweets/the comments he makes in TG extras: why are you so nice
Yeah, I kinda hated Urie at first (I understood his goals and motivations but did he really have to be such a jerk? I honestly thought he was going to get somebody killed in the auction arc) but after the auction arc I started to like him better (I think the official moment I decided ‘I like Urie Kuki as a character’ was when Shirazu died) and I kinda freaked out when I realized what happened to him…
He would make a great Burr though. I think he’s way more willing to act than Burr and is not a ‘talk less, smile more’ kind of person (more like a ‘talk less and don’t smile at all’ type) but they’re still really similar. I could also see Urie singing Wait for It…with Kaneki as Hamilton. Not because Kaneki particularly fits Hamilton but because of how Burr is clearly somewhat jealous about Hamilton’s progress despite not approving of his methods in Wait For It (in an interview about the song I think LMM said something about it describing the feeling of watching your friends and acquaintances getting so far ahead in life and thinking 'Wait for it; someday I’ll get there too’).
Am I the only one who headcanons that despite acting super classy and not knowing much about rap/hip-hop before someone (maybe Hori?) gets him to listen to it, Tsukiyama actually turns out to be a really good rapper?
Speaking of Tsukiyama though, I want to see more of his interactions with Naki
Hmm, since Mado died after he was already an adult couldn’t Akira technically count? We know from omakes that Mado was a doting father and made her childhood as happy as possible, so while her life might not have been 100% perfect it was still really good in TG terms. Takizawa before he entered the academy also counts.
but even those two had so much tragedy happen to them as adults…
(also, have you started reading the manga again? :D)
ok, that sounds creepy. Not going to be watching that.
Thank you so much for the recommendations though! Not sure if I’ll get the time to watch those but I think I saw some Magi volumes in a bookstore here so maybe I’ll check that out when I have the time!
And yeah, if you have any good animes/mangas to recommend, please do! And genre doesn’t matter- though I usually prefer dark, psychological stories I’m willing to make exceptions when the series in question is really good (that’s what I did with YoI after all :) the only genres I’m really reluctant to read are horror and high school romances).
I’m glad you liked them! And nope, don’t mind at all  :D fangirling
I am back! Again, happy birthday ^^ I hope the day went well for you :) How old are you now, if you don’t mind me asking? I’m guessing it’s either 14 or 15.
And thank you very much for the poem, it’s very cute! I wouldn’t have minded the extra verses. They might’ve ruined the mood a bit, tho ^^;; The theme sounds like something baroque poems would write about... Don’t mind me, I just had an exam dealing with baroque, so I’m probably prone to making bad references to it. 
I will never manage to reach your level of puns... I’ll just say that I’m very satisfied with the amount of them.
“Just because he’s dead doesn’t mean he won’t come back. He died so another villain can take his place.
No matter how much I support trans Mu, I’d be very, very surprised if it actually become canon. I mean, as you’ve said, Japan and lgbt don’t quite go together that well... I guess we’ll just have to see... And nope, I still haven’t started to read the manga again. No time ^^;;
I’ve started to dislike Mu after the chapter in which his past was revealed. I just don’t have the will to stomach stories like that, honestly... Good horror/psychology manga/anime might interest me once in a while, but there’s a border I don’t like crossing. TG is waaay over it (which is probably a part of the reason why I dropped it, after all)
Gaah, it’s people like that that make dislike the lgbts... Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against people in that community and I won’t discriminate (though stuff like fictionkin and made-up pronouns do make me roll my eyes), but it’s these people that give people the wrong image about the whole community. Unfortunately, I’ve had quite a few encounters with those... aggressive people. I could go on and on about the things I saw as a part of this site, mostly concerning those ridiculous people who are probably in it because they think it’s ‘cool’ or ‘trendy’ to be bi or genderfluid.  I get waaay too worked up over this theme, don’t I?
Oh, I’m so happy about her not being forgotten! She is a precious cinnamon roll and doesn’t deserve the life she has, she deserves so much better.
Boy, that sounds fun. Well, Ive had experience with the ‘reading manga’ part, but I don’t particularly follow tweets ^^;; I hope things work out in the manga!
Idk, I mean, I disliked him at first, but I got to like him very quickly. I just seem to like silent types like him (I say that, and yet I also like Phichit, Viktor, Haise and so on, who are nothing like him.... WHOOPS).
Signs that I’m slowly forgetting TG: *reading the message* ‘who... are these characters?’ I mean, I know the most important ones, like Haise, Urie, Akira and so on, but the other ones... This makes me very sad ;-;
Yeah, I guess that would make Kaneki a good Hamilton. STILL DON’T WANT BURR (COOKIE) TO KILL HIM, BECAUSE KANEKI IS A CINNAMON ROLL WHO DOESN’T DESERVE TO DIE! The dynamics between Kaneki and Urie don’t make a good Ham-Burr, but their positions in their job, so I guess they really are the best pair for Hamilton.  Why did Ham have to die ;-; That makes casting so much harder for me.
Oh yeah, Tsukiyama would be an amazing rappers, I don’t doubt it at all. In fact, I’m sure that he’d be able to do Guns and Ships perfectly. 
Fun fact: You made a typo saying ‘Mado died after SHE became an adult’ (I changed it) and you gave me the biggest heart attack. Pls, my phone wasn’t used to the speed with which I typed ‘TOKYO GHOUL WIKI AKIRA MADO’ to check if what you said is true.  Yeah, Akira could count, I guess. That makes a total of ONE character... Not much, eh?
I don’t know if I count Takizawa... I think that the way his life is now, it very much makes up the lack of angst in his childhood.
Oh yeah, one last concern about The World Is Still Beautiful!
WHY IS THERE A CHARACTER NAMED LUNA WHO ACTS LIKE AN INSUFFERABLE BRAT DURING HER WHOLE SCREEN TIME, I DEMAND JUSTICE!
I’m done. 
One last recommendation:
LOVE LIVE AKA CUTE IDOLS. I invite you to join me in the pits of idol hell :) It(s not a romance, don’t worry. Also, there’s a mobile rhythm tapping game if you’re interested :))
Ooh, I’d be so happy if you’d start reading Magi! During the later volumes, it gets reeally psychological, so I think you might like it! I’d say something, but spoilers!
Well, I’ll go add the text to the post, then ^^

20 Times GOP Proved To Be Something Out Of a Horror Movie
Once upon a time, Congress was a place where we elected government officials to do their jobs. Each state elected men and women to fulfill the will of the land and of its people for their better interest. Today, it seems that all of that has taken a turn for the worse; In fact, The Republican Congress has become something out of a horror movie...doing and saying things that would freak anyone out. I don't mean just passing strange bills and laws. Well...here are 20 examples:
20. The Time The Trump Administration Compared Trump to Jesus: In December of 2016, almost a month after Trump's nefarious win for presidency, The Republican Party put out a Christmas message that seemed extremely odd and apocalyptic: "The message reads: “Merry Christmas to all! Over two millennia ago, a new hope was born into the world, a Savior who would offer the promise of salvation to all mankind. Just as the three wise men did on that night, this Christmas heralds a time to celebrate the good news of a new King.” No, this is not something out of "The Omen" this ACTUALLY happened. When confronted, The RNC denied it and deflected. Here is the article: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/donald-trump-gop-rnc-republican-christmas-message-new-king-jesus-christ-a7495951.html
19. Senate Votes To Shut Up Elizabeth Warren: In a shocking turn of events that proved America is no longer a Democracy, The Republican Party said Warren was violating Senate rules by reading a letter by Coretta Scott King. The letter spoke about Sessions (who at the time was being installed in The Justice Department) who in 1986 was implored by Ms. King to be denied a life appointment on the federal bench. "Nevertheless, she persisted" became a viral phenom, with people all over the world championing Elizabeth Warren, even though she was told to be silent. https://www.politico.com/story/2017/02/elizabeth-warren-sessions-silence-234779
18. The RNC Endorses An Accused Pedophile: Roy Moore, a controversial racist running for Alabama Senate, was accused of pedophilia by many women. Because of the world we live in and how Trump gets away with everything, Moore seemed to follow suit and say that the parents of the girls were okay with him being with them. He then stood with his off the rocker wife and continued his bid for The Alabama Senate. Immediately, Trump backed Moore and so did The RNC. It seemed like some crazy John Grisham novel but the truth is, this all really happened!! Though Roy Moore did not win, he did appear on a horse like the fucking nutcase that he is; and ironically, almost half of Alabama did vote for him which proves how fucked up this country is. https://www.politico.com/story/2017/12/04/trump-support-roy-moore-277771
17. The RNC Tries To Murder Obamacare: In an act of defiance and totalitarianism, The Republican Party tried greedily to murder off Obamacare simply to say they did it. In an ongoing effort to taint the name of President Obama and erase his legacy, The RNC tried and tried and tried to brutally murder Obamacare even if it meant millions would be without healthcare. They even introduced something absurd like "A Skinny Bill" to choke out Obamacare but to no prevail. It seems there was not one Republican in office that could write something legible, plausible or real, proving that The RNC was full of duds. Male & Female Conservatives who were willing to be cutthroat and band together even against the will of The People. It didn't work. It failed miserably. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-healthcare/republicans-fail-again-to-kill-off-obamacare-in-senate-idUSKCN1C00BT
16. Puerto Rico SUFFERS: While The Caribbean is no stranger to hurricanes, storms and cyclones, Hurricane Maria proved that destruction had a new name. Hurricane Maria was the worst natural disaster on record in Dominica & Puerto Rico. Maria was the third costliest hurricane in history with a whopping 99.45 billion dollars in damage. And because Puerto Rico belongs to America, we waited for Trump and Congress to react. There was nothing for weeks. Then suddenly, after a Twitter war with a very disheartened and concerned Mayor of San Juan, Trump appeared in Puerto Rico without even giving Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz the time of day. Mayor Cruz was the ONLY government official in Puerto Rico making the rounds in the news trying to get America and the world to react to Puerto Rico's devastation. Trump didn't give a fuck. Instead, he met with other officials and threw paper towels at The Puerto Rican People. YES, this happened. Since 2018, 26 people have committed suicide because of Hurricane Maria. When Americans were polled, most of them didn't even know Puerto Ricans were American Citizens. TRAGIC STUPIDITY.  http://www.newsweek.com/puerto-rico-mental-health-hurricane-maria-us-780062
15. Let's Ignore A Supreme Court Nominee: Before Obama left office, he nominated a wonderful judge for The Supreme Court on March 16th, 2016 named Merrick Garland. He was suppose to replace Antonin Scalia. The RNC, hellbent on ignoring Obama and obstructing justice, ignored the Garland nomination for almost 9 months. When Trump came into office, they showed their true colors and immediately voted in Neil M. Gorsuch.
14. TWILIGHT ZONE @ THE WHITE HOUSE: When Trump came into power, Government websites suddenly went dark. LGBTQ Rights? Gone. Climate Change? Gone. Civil Rights Page? Gone. In what seemed like a deliberately calculated move by a Totalitarian Administration, Trump's Party made it clear they were not interested in moving forward. https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/2017/live-updates/politics/live-coverage-of-trumps-inauguration/civil-rights-page-also-deleted-from-white-house-website/?utm_term=.3956314659e4
13. Evangelical Zealots: In what seemed like a sign of the end times, a photo of Trump appeared with various pastors and preachers laying hands on him. Their total devotion and honor to Trump raised red flags and seemed extremely strange, given that Trump has been a habitual liar, cheater, saboteur and non-Christian. It seemed that Trump's strange Hitler-like qualities appealed to Church leaders. In fact, one Trump supporter was quoted as saying he trusted Trump more than Jesus Christ. In what feels like an H.P. Lovecraft novel, Trump has become as symbolic to Christians than Christ himself...which proves that the devil is indeed a deceiver. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/acts-of-faith/wp/2017/07/12/photo-surfaces-of-evangelical-pastors-laying-hands-on-trump-in-the-oval-office/?utm_term=.17d74abf78cb
12. Kellyanne Con Artist: If Trump and The RNC are the power players in this Creepy New America, Kellyanne is the devout disciple. A woman from Camden NJ who's credentials are as elusive as her credibility, Kellyanne has managed to mind fuck Americans and the world with her complete and utter bullshit. Time and again, she has done the masterful spinning of silliness and has taken everyone to task for it. She has appeared on countless shows lying, scheming, scamming and spinning so hard that she has been compared to The Crypt keeper from Tales From The Crypt. In a smug fashion, Kellyanne has managed to have people repeat her bullshit and believe it. Even the people that hate her the most can't deny she is a master of disaster. https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2017/04/kellyannes-alternative-universe/517821/
11. The Great MUSLIM Scare: Though the majority of mass shootings and terrorist attacks in America are done by Americans and White Men, Trump and his warped RNC/followers have convinced the world that Muslims should be banned and that they are the true devils. Not since Hitler has there been such true raw hatred of races until now. White men attacking minorities and telling them to go back to their countries, rogue conservative reporters pushing the racist agendas; America is slowly becoming a cesspool of hate. And yet, The RNC has not condemned Trump or his leadership in all of this. Even banning countries he knows nothing about. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-38781302
10. Hiel Trump!: In what seems like the freakiest and most sinister RNC Party, Conservatives have been seen raising their arm in Hitler salute fashion, using outdated racist terms and uniting in solidarity for racist goals. In rallies that STILL go on for Trump, his supporters pretend to care about jobs and money but secretly support an Aryan cause. It's pretty clear that most Trump Supporters are worshipping Trump. What really seems fucking nutty is the influx of white men marching for White Supremacy and having speaking engagements at colleges and Universities. It's pretty clear that America is having a turn for the worst and yet no one is really saying or doing anything. Is this how it began in Germany?
9. The GREAT SILENCE: During Obama's last days it seemed like Black Lives Matter was really solidifying itself in The New Civil Rights Movement. And though there were plenty of haters and a few bad apples, Black men, women and children (among other races) were standing up for the victims of police brutality, for marginalized minorities and for progress in America. And just like that, they disappeared. Trump's volatile candidacy and disastrous presidency snuffed the flame of Black Lives Matter, leaving us to wonder what happened? There were rumors that some of the leaders of the movement decided to "leave this mess for the white people" and yet some people said BLM just faded away. Read this racist article put out by Newsweek to understand that perhaps the true reason BLM is gone is because they're afraid to be new victims of this Fascist Dictatorship America. http://www.newsweek.com/black-lives-matter-protests-police-646050
8. Shithole Countries: One of the most horrific things to come out of this pathetic excuse for a presidency is a comment Trump made in front of many leaders. He called Haiti and Africa shithole countries and suggested we let in people from Norway instead. And what didn't surprise anyone was the outpour of support and defending of Trump, leading washed out attention seeker racist Tomi Lahren to say that we should admit they ARE shithole countries. This coming from a young woman who says things for clickbait with ZERO credibility. That an American President would scoop to that level....WOW. Disgraceful. http://www.cnn.com/2018/01/11/politics/immigrants-shithole-countries-trump/index.html
7. The Financial Martyrs: Once again, riding on the coattails of absolute power and Trump's Twitter distractions, The RNC managed to fuck Americans over with a bill to help The Top 1%. Not even sugarcoating it, The Republican Congress has proven to be enemies of The People, simply pushing their Capitalistic agendas and this shitty Budget Bill. And of course, right after, Trump decries that corporations should have inflation to distract from the fuck over Americans got. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/01/us/politics/senate-tax-bill-debate-vote.html
6. Congress Pushes Out 1 Million Minorities Of Color: In what IS and not what feels like Ethnic Cleansing, Trump and his pet Congress are aiming at making America Whiter Again. In efforts to use every excuse in the book to extinguish minorities from America, The GOP seems onboard to manipulate "Legal" immigration to only White Countries. In a perfect world we would have banned together ages ago and toppled over this racist government, but it seems Americans are just shrugging and tweeting too much rather than reacting. http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-na-pol-trump-gop-immigration-20180112-story.html
5. Appointments: In the beginning, when Trump won his presidency seat aka One of America's Darkest Days In History, it seemed like The Republican Congress was pushing out Administration appointees like premature babies. They didn't care if they had credentials, decency or credibility...if they were Capitalists, they were in. And in what seemed like one of the diciest and shadiest moves in Congress history, with the speed of lightning, we got The Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos...someone with no real knowledge of Education or what it takes to move America's Education System forward. And while this slime bucket slithered in, there were plenty who were complete fools who never got the nod and some who declined, to lessen the social suicide of it all. But here are some of the rotten apples that managed to get a spot: Steven Mnuchin, Jeff Sessions, Ben Carson and Ellen Chao....all of whom are failing miserably at what they're doing. But this only proves that A Republican world is one where we will never move forward ever.
4. GOP's Obsession with Women's Bodies & Lives: For some creepy reason, GOP have been adamant about telling women what to do and not do. It has started with abortion and is creeping into other things. It seems like white older men want to dictate American women's personal decisions which infringes upon their rights. But it doesn't seem like they care. Nutcase zealots like Huckabee and Cruz have been very vocal about putting their foot on the rights of women. Women, however, had something to say which lead to a National Women's March and Time's Up. In fact, 2017 & 2018 have been big years for women: speaking up against wage gaps/rights, sexual harassment, rape, their bodies and choices and political choices. Women have decided they were not going to be silenced any longer. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2017/01/21/womens-march-aims-start-movement-trump-inauguration/96864158/
3. Trump Gets Loyalty: Anyone living in America on either side of the political party knows one thing for sure: there is a sadistic undying loyalty from The GOP to Trump. They do so willingly and are aware that if Trump were to ever leave office, they'd be stuck with Pence who is as entertaining and a leader as a lead pencil sharpener. And if Pence ever left, once we found out he colluded with Russia as well, we'd be stuck with the most annoying Speaker ever: Paul Ryan as president. If you thought GOP was trash, imagine him running it. But there's something very AntiChrist about the lengths The GOP is willing to go to turn a blind eye. It doesn't even feel like its about passing laws or bills. It's something more. The last time a party was that loyal to a fault, was Hitler's Party. And if we don't wise up, we will live to regret it.
2. FOX NEWS: The Shithole Of News Channels: In what has been a blatant disregard for facts, morals, responsibilities or an ounce of dignity, Fox News decided to show its true colors the minute Trump came into office, ignoring all the bad things he says and does and only kisses his ass so that they get the GOP ratings. If anyone has ever truly sold their soul to The Devil, Fox News has sold more than that. The fact that no one has ever investigated Fox News as a state sponsored channel run by our new dictator government makes me nervous. This channel is a spawn of hell with disgraced journalists scheming up ways to scream at Liberals and completely fucking up the news. If I worked there, I'd run for the hills and save my reputation. It's only a matter of time before it all blows up in their faces.
1. Trump Is STILL In Office & Nobody Knows Why: After every scandal, lie, tweet, disrespect, lack of a moral compass, sign of illness, racist remark, lack of intelligence or track record, Trump is STILL here. His children are still shadowy figures in the background, being the creepy assholes they've always been. Jared Kushner is still the puppet master and The GOP Congress is still pretending like nothing is wrong. Trump has managed to let his crazy followers and ideas get under people's skin, making them unaware that he is clearly manipulating the left into anger. Trump is winning, despite his illegality and his scams....The American Government is standing by him, on his every word, worshipping him hand and foot. They were waiting patiently for someone like him to ruin America and they're standing by helping him. The most criminal and complicit cabinet and Congress ever. But soon....we'll reclaim OUR time.
