my controversial opinion is that people who insist on insulting people's appearances the moment they're revealed to be bad people will never be able to realise their bias towards conventionally attractive people. as long as people continue to equate beauty with goodness and believe that only good people can be pretty, the beauty standards which are used to oppress people will always continue to exist. when i say you need to break free from beauty standards if you want to be like progressive you need to be committed to it. a kinder world for everyone is much harder to make if we all insist on prioritising our satisfaction in being mean over the greater good of others

i don't believe in tone policing but i DO believe that we need to come to terms with the fact that victims get to be as angry as they want and at the same time anger will not always be strategically the best sentiment to lead with in terms of achieving change and we all need to accept this dichotomy and that both facts can co-exist and in this essay i will--

i got reminded of world trigger n like man i love yuma (wt) and osamu’s relationship. like it’s so easy i think to have a cool clearly stronger person look down on the weaker protag who’s not going to get any stronger and have their relationship just be trying to be equals but yuma and osamu totally flip that on its head.

although theres initial condescension and yuma quickly recognises how much weaker and ordinary osamu is compared to him, he also recognises osamu’s strengths with great clarity and that he possesses qualities yuma does not. they’ve always been equals even if not in strengths and their abilities to recognises their need for each other lends their relationship to feeling very grounded. the ways that they’re unique to each other mean a lot to me

there are 2 scenes that really mean a lot to me when it comes to their relationship. the first is when yuma admits he doesn’t have much of a purpose to live anymore after finding out that his father probably can’t be revived from his black trigger and that his father’s friend, jin’s mentor, is already dead. he’s very matter of fact about this sense of loss which he always is. and to this osamu provides him a new sense of purpose, in helping chika join the travel team to find her brother in the neighbour world. i think that scene perfectly exemplifies how osamu is such a good partner for yuma BECAUSE he’s someone who supports rather than fights upfront. osamu is capable of symbolically giving so much because he doesn’t try to always position himself first. it also i think demonstrates his kindness and understanding of yuma esp at the point he was at. it’s actually a surprisingly emotionally significant moment. im rlly bad at explaining it but it reinforces the kind of person osamu is but also highlights how this fits yuma and the compatibility of their partnership.

the 2nd scene is the reverse of this after osamu is hospitalised after being tasked with keeping the cube away from the aftokratan neighbours. he wakes up after dreaming of chika’s older brother before his disappearance and how he was tasked with protecting chika by said older brother, driving him to be very desperate to join border. the past few chapters have already been very revolutionary, emphasising the depths of osamu’s sense of duty and in rooting it in a promise to someone he felt he already failed, emphasises how badly affected he is by failing duties. his selfless nature and how it can put him at risk is put at the forefront. honestly it’s his lowest point at least of who he is initially. osamu who usually actually has his emotions under control despite being prone to anxiety finally breaks down to yuma later and says hes sorry for causing replica to be destroyed in the process of protecting the cube chika turned into from being stolen. beyond the tears and the drastic contrast between osamu before and the osamu now which all suggest the significant stress osamu feels, further ramping up u know how bad of a state hes in at this point. to this, yuma simply tells him he doesnt blame him and even rationally explains that he’s to blame too. in the end he affirms that osamu is his best partner. no doubt the loss of basically the closest thing to a living family member was devastating to yuma but he doesn’t feel a need to lash out, demonstrating his kind nature and maturity. not only that but he recognises osamu’s effort and through this, calms him down from his breakdown. yuma is able to do what osamu cant and recognise that he does not have to go to extreme lengths. he believes in and sees what osamu has already done. he doesn’t have unreasonable expectations but also doesn’t believe he cant do it.

like in the first scene osamu and yuma’s partnership and its strengths are reinforced. they are people who bring each other forward, providing what the other doesn’t have and it’s simple and brilliant. where osamu’s supportive nature is what the combative yuma needs, yuma’s own maturity and ability to recognise osamu’s selflessness and moderate it (like in this scene or when he defends osamu or believes in him as a leader) helps rein in osamu such that he can grow instead of destroying himself.

osamu and yuma fit each other so well because they are so different. and together they’re the best partners to support chika.

my objectively correct assessment of dl characters' knowledge of bl (as a fudanshi)

#ariel.txt #diabolik lovers #dlposting

[ultramanyaoi]

it's really funny how every set of brothers with terrible relationships in dl is that way because they refuse to let each other know that they were ever hurt. the sakamakis refuse to expose their vulnerabilities to each other or actively take advantage of each other for having weaknesses (see: reiji and shu also see how reiji never communicates that he was motivated by envy and a lack of attention) and they all strain their relationships with each other. the tsukinamis meanwhile have a similar problem where carla and shin's lack of communication means shin never understands that carla loved him and was enduring geisbach's suffering alone thus he resents him arbitrarily and at worse ultimately kills carla because he feels like carla betrayed him and stopped being his idol.

the mukamis meanwhile never had that option and as a result of having exposed themselves, understand that they CAN trust each other and the love between them is not founded on self interest. if there is no one else they can trust on earth they know they will never hurt each other. their first meetings and encounters as humans are all marked by witnessing each other at their lowest, weakest and most suffering and choosing to save each other with no benefit to themselves. it's honestly very beautiful that these humans, arguably the weakest in terms of raw power have something neither the sakamakis or tsukinamis can obtain with power alone. regardless of ur choice of love interest their bond is a constant unrelated to your actions and like that's really neat

if not informing cis HOOKUP partners ur trans (esp if ur post op or like where things like genitals have no impact on the sexual activity / were not a point of contention during sex) is considered sexual assault idk how to tell u this cis hookup partners not disclosing that theyre cis to u shd by that logic be the same issue. but it's not. people only claim not informing hookup partners ur trans (not a medical issue) is sexual assault because to transphobes, trans people are inherently diseased / contaminated and the idea of them integrating into society / not being able to be easily singled out / being on equal footing as cis people disgusts them. how is a trans woman's pussy any more harmful than a cis woman's? it's not it's the same damn thing as far as people having sex are concerned transphobes just want to live in a world where trans people make themselves easy targets to single out

i feel like cursing someone to be pregnant forever is worse than cursing their womb to be barren. like yes there's emotional pain to a barren womb but a lot of people deal w barren wombs metaphorical and literal every day already. no one has been pregnant forever before so you'd be cursing someone to navigate the situation in complete darkness. additionally 8-9 months of pregnancy already generally sucks.

i hate twitter anime fans so much.

like whatver have ur opinions on onk but like unironically saying that akane hates kana is like missing the gigantic point AND all the nuance of the stage show arc im so mad. akane explicitly says that she admires kana and still does. her actions are not motivated by hatred but deep seated admiration, if anything akane is the single person who most believes in kana and most understands what she's capable of. her anger n probing is not some petty jealousy towards kana but a much deeper feeling of frustration for kana's sake as one artist to another. it has NOTHING to do w aqua. she is literally DELIGHTED when kana finally takes the spotlight because this is what she's wanted all along!!!! HOW DO U MISS THAT

if she hated kana she would not go out of her way to be concerned 4 kana's career even after breaking up w aqua. like READ W UR EYES OPEN AND BRAIN ON

SHE HATES HER BECAUSE SHE KNOWS SHE CAN DO BETTER. THERE IS NUANCE TO AKANE'S HATRED. IT IS A FEELING OF LOVE AND HATRED BECAUSE U UNDERSTAND THEM SO DEEPLY AURUGHGGGG

feel like we are underutilising the mukami sakamaki dynamic a bit. they're not just rivals in mb, they're supposed to "awaken" their chosen sakamaki to karlheinz' prophecy... like is that not very cool with many things to explore? yes challenging their chosen sakamaki is one of the ways in which they force them to grow and awaken to their destiny but just GRIPS I WANT MORE. someone write about this

is karlheinz a good father? the short answer is no. he abused all his wives he orchestrated everything that happens in dl. he committed bioterrorism against another group of people. he is a bad person and father.

now is he fond of his children? sort of. karlheinz certainly does not despise or hate any of his children but he also doesn't love them. like DL is kind of bad at creating this distinction but very clearly karlheinz' perception of his children isn't love. he is amused by and entertained by them as we the reader might be endeared to characters in a story. he enjoys watching them struggle and find love as an audience member watches an actor in a play bring a story to life. but there is no benevolence or sympathy to him. to him, his children are as real as the characters are to us. their suffering, their fear and all the lasting psychological impacts he has left on them are deeply alien to him.

he completely fails as a father in every way. not only does he fail to provide love or comfort he barely disciplines his children if you perceive that as a father's duty. he literally only provides material sustenance but again not out of love or interest in watching his children develop but as part of his experiment. he's completely detached from paternal duties.

if your dad behaves like karlheinz and treats you more like a small dog than a child you should go to therapy because he's probably a bad dad
