#but YES YES i completely agree!!!!

ok i get the desire to push back against annoying dominant christian interpretations of the torah/old testament. i really do. however i also wish that people would stop being like “actually, the jewish perspective on this is--” before listing off one (1) jewish perspective, usually either reform or humanistic, that also happens to be the most politically convenient and moral according to the standards of tumblr. like y’all if anyone tells you that there is only one jewish interpretation of something you should know that they are probably wrong, there’s at least one jew out there who would vehemently disagree with them, and also judaism is a complex living culture that you really should not put on a pedestal

#like. yes the binding of isaac can be interpreted as a test that abraham failed. that's one interpretation #discussed in some sects by some rabbis #however. #there very much are also jews who interpret it as #a sign that jews specifically must be ready to sacrifice anything for g-d #in order to hold up our end of the covenant #there are jews who interpret it in completely different ways as well #like i can't list out all of them because #i don't know them #and am not a theologian or rabbi or even all that observant #so my interpretation isn't going to be very helpful #but can we please not oversimplify judaism to present it as the Good Abrahamic ReligionTM #it's a complex living tradition with a whole wide range of different ideas #some of which i personally hate! #because that's culture for you! #the one exception to the 'one jewish belief on x' thing is like #messianics #we basically all do not like messianics #or like. We Generally Agree That Antisemitism Is Bad #but when it comes to biblical interpretation? #four jews twelve opinions #always #jewish things #something something leftist philosemitism

Kind of a rant

In Japan, being a public disturbance is reallyyyy frowned upon and if someone is, it's pretty common that a stranger will scold them. Usagi and Mamoru's dynamic in the first season gets misunderstood, because that sort of thing doesn't really exist in the US. Usagi's primary setting is "public disturbance" and Mamoru coincidentally keeps being the person who scolds her. Americans just see it as bullying because the idea of a stranger scolding you (for something *you* did wrong) is foreign to them. The US is individualist but Japan is collectivist, so there's more accountability for bad public etiquette.

people are just constantly like "why is he bullying her😢😢" during scenes where usagi is breaking like 5 massive social rules at once. for context, some japanese social rules that will get you scolded if broken would be: yelling, talking loudly, sitting on the ground, crawling, throwing things (duh), running, bumping into people, and eating while walking (you could run into someone).

when mamoru makes fun of her for "stuffing her face" or something, he's not criticizing her for eating, he's criticizing her for eating while walking.

basically, the concept is "what if the person who is rude in public and the person who scolds them ended up being in love haha". it's really not that deep, like it's just silly. usagi ignores basic social rules, and then acts dense when she's being scolded, so the five year olds at home can be like "haha that's so silly. also i shouldn't eat my candy while walking so i don't run into people like she does".

these interactions are a comedic way to teach young children everyday etiquette, basically. and mamoru's scolding being completely ineffective and making the issue worse adds to the comedy

(i do think gently explaining to her that she's bothering others is what would get through to her, but that's not very funny and would be really anticlimactic so.. also her character arc is literally about being less self centered and taking others into account more, like these fights are thematically important too.)

#I FEEL LIKE THIS IS AN OBVIOUS THING TO EXPLAIN BUT PEOPLE REALLY DON'T GET IT..😭😭😭 #if he's “bullying” her that means she's completely innocent like.. #is throwing your shoes around in a crowded area safe behavior?? #SHE LITERS TOO WHICH IS SUCH A NO NO AND EVERYONE IGNORES IT.. #she pesters public service workers #she is such a mess and people are like “lalala i don't see it” #it's actually miraculous she doesn't get scolded more #mamoru doesn't scold her because he wants her to suffer or something #it's because he feels responsible when she does something wrong and wants her to do better #do you have to agree with it? no #is it a social norm? yes #is it bullying? no #does usagi pretend it's bullying to wriggle out of being accountable? yes #does scolding work? not on usagi #is it essential to the story? YES #sailor moon #tsukino usagi #usagi tsukino #mamoru chiba #chiba mamoru #rant

to be fair belos was a damn good villain from beginning to end and a pretty brutal and realistic one for whats considered a kid's show. he was an awful dude and stayed that way which i loved. like for a second they had you think they were gonna pull a steven universe where the genocidal colonist was gonna be reformed and given a second chance without facing any consequences for there actions. and then they curb-stomped his ass.

I miss belos honeylavender27… i miss him so much…

I miss my wife

#but yes i completely agree #he was very nuanced and more than just.. #a bad guy #holy shit he was so mentally unwell #murdered so many bc he thought he was doing the right thing #because he so wholeheartedly believed his brother was mindcontrolled or smthing #god he was a younger brother who killed his older brother #brought him back and raised him #but every time he couldnt get him to stay #couldnt get him to see HE is RIGHT #god thats so fucked #thats so insane #i misss belos dude

SOMEONE SAID IT OK NOW I GOTTA DIVULGE HAHAHAHA-

fae hobie was literally just that, everything is normal except hobie is a fucking woodland sprite and about the size of a piece of beef jerky. my main inspiration was these things:

from spiderwick chronicles cuz I MEAN LOOK AT THEIR HAIR??? head?? things????

I NEVER EVEN SAW THE MOVIE/SHOW/WHATEVER IT WAS.

my unbelievably unoriginal ass was like HMMMMM HOBIE'S HAIR. IN PETALS. . . HMMMM. and then it slowly devolved into tiny hobie au.

the kids carry him around in pockets or on their shoulder and he speaks the fae equivalent of british which makes him three times harder to understand.

its so funny trust.

and jazz au was a crackhead idea of suppressed music talent miles finding his band in the other spiderkids and this oddly ambitious plot about gwen and hobie drifting away to pursue rock but always coming back to jam with the boys because punk rock and even metal pulls a lot of inspiration from jazz and the jazz movement.

miles would be a singer or a trumpet player and i cant decide which so HA.

wriggles around in my padded room.

#atsv #atsv au #atsv aus #yes aus plural #hobie brown #miles morales #only those two get tagged cuz they get mentioned by name #tiny hobie #imagine tho he'd be so annoying #and he's fae so he can take tomfoolery to the next level #do not give him shit he will light it on fire #he hides in pav's hair because its so fluffy #one of my friends also said he'd fit in a bong #and i agree completely #smokin da hobie tonite

YOUR PREV POST IS SOOO REAL DUDE. Mine scolding daigo was the hottest thing ever bro and daigo himself saying other than kashiwagi mine is the only guy who has the balls to scold him like that.. giggling and kicking my feet in the airrrrrr

every day I wish that Edward IV's Chamber records actually survived :/

#We would probably be able to find out so much about Elizabeth Woodville #But also in general - there's so much about his own life and reign that remains so unknown due to these missing records #We would have known a great deal about finances and statecraft and diplomacy in his reign yes - #But it would have also been a personal window into his and his family's interests and habits that are currently completely out of reach #and his marriage as well! there's so much we know about Henry VII & Elizabeth of York specifically because of the survival of #royal chamber records of Henry VII's reign - but we don't and can't know the same for Edward IV and Elizabeth Woodville #even his affairs tbh - Ross suggests that none of them seem to have been important/influential enough to leave any trace in any other #official record (which I agree with) but chamber records would probably clarify the exact people and timelines #We'd also probably be able to learn more about teenage Elizabeth of York! I *really* want to know more about her childhood and teen years #We also (might!) be able to know more about Margaret of Anjou during 1471-75 - at least I really really hope so #It's really a shame - these missing records mean that whole swaths of royal activity are completely invisible and out of reach #it's even more frustrating because Chamber records HAVE survived for Henry VII and Henry VIII but not for Edward IV :( #here's hoping they miraculously turn up somewhere someday lol

I know I am wildly late to this observation, but I just rewatched Thor for the first time in a very long while, and. I'd genuinely forgotten that at the start Thor is headed down a path at least as dark as Loki's? I mean Loki is making very extremely bad choices, but Thor isn't exactly less horrifying with his whole jumping straight to the 'lets "break the spirit" of an entire realm by murdering as many of them as it takes' shtick. And it's just so clearly laid out that the divergent paths they are on by the end of the first film isn't illustrative of some inherent difference in their natures or predetermined by choices they'd made before the film started. The difference is that Thor gets the opportunity to love and be loved by people outside the skewed and insulated world he grew up in, to be loved without strings attached, and discovers that the friends he had all along loved him more unconditionally, aside from his power and conquests, than he'd realized. While Loki learns that their father attaches all sorts of strings to his love, and 'learns' (somewhat truthfully with regard to Odin I think, though not with Thor or Frigga), that the love he had from them was always conditional, mitigated, based on lies and offered to a version of himself that never existed.

And I just—my point isn't 'you can't blame him for his war crimes 'cause he was sad', just that. Man it really was about love from the very beginning!!!

(P.S. I sent you an inordinately long series of messages about s1 Loki a couple weeks back, and your response was delightful, and added excellent points—just wanted to say that you; that was lovely of you, and I really appreciate how kind you always are on this blog!!)

Hey there anon, lovely to hear from you again! Thank you so much for your own kind words and taking the time to send another message! Your previous ones were a wonderful read as is this and as far as I'm concerned there's no such thing as being late to anything that isn't already scheduled, especially regarding media or fandom when there's a chance to discover someone/something new around every corner 💖💖

(Case in point how unexpected getting this captivated by a Marvel series was for me, which I only bring up because, well... quick disclaimer, I have an understanding of everything that happened in phase 1 but haven't exactly seen any of the Thor movies or until a few weeks into the airing of Loki had any real exposure to anything Marvel/Loki related between the original Avengers movie and then, which ironically I love because the moment S1 kicks off Loki's journey is where my perspective starts as well!)

As Loki mentioned many times previously, Thor truly wasn't ready to rule back then (not that Loki was either, lol) and you're not only exactly right about them both going down dark paths but I see Thor's view as worse considering he grew up surrounded by a level of confidence in companionship Loki never knew. The attack on Jotunheim pretty much says it all when Thor didn't hesitate to use hurt pride as an excuse to kill as many Frost Giants as possible, then after getting an entire war kicked off all Thor's friends were actually angrier with Loki for letting news of their visit get back to Odin despite the fact that they would've all been killed otherwise 🙃

Odin not being the best father to either of them is an understatement but there are unspoken conditions to his interactions with and love for Loki specifically due to his birth that (by nature of what an imposing figure Odin is) would almost subliminally impact everyone within range so I can't even imagine growing up in the midst of that and having no idea of the real cause, though I don't doubt Frigga's love for him or that the Thor of now wants them to be equals. It really does all come back to love from beginning to end, and makes it all the more important that Loki finally found that love and acceptance beyond his wildest dreams in Mobius so here we are now just waiting for them to find their way back to each other :')
