i wonder if the (at least previous) reputation of broccoli as "the food all children hate" was caused by a legitimate distaste caused by improper disposal of bad broccoli in generations prior.

i wonder this because i can't in good faith believe that the majority of children find the taste of broccoli inherently disagreeable. broccoli tastes fucking good, and i've held that opinion since i dared to try it. i was at the right age to be watching Codename: Kids Next Door and to think that the joke of "kids hate broccoli" was just the result of adult writers projecting their childrens' eating quirks onto all children, or simply just making shit up.

but let me tell you something, something i've only just discovered properly for myself. when broccoli goes bad it smells fucking putrid. a dirty steamer used to cook broccoli, the water in it turned green, that's unpleasant and motivates me to clean it within a day. but two heads of broccoli in an indoor food waste caddy for a couple of days and i thought something might have died in that corner of the kitchen.

and let me tell you something else. children's brains are incredibly associative. or at least, mine was. when i was five, i went completely off my absolute favourite kind of sandwich because i saw something i found really disgusting while eating one.

my hypothesis is that exclusively eating frozen broccoli is a really recent thing. i know refrigerators aren't that old, but even refrigerated, i imagine bad broccoli reeks really easily. let a child get one waft too many of that smell, and the connection might form that that's just what broccoli smells like. doesn't matter how fresh and delicious it actually is, if it's too close to the bad smell, the bad smell is what they will think of.

#not having or caring for children gives me a lot of time to analyse child experiences purely from the perspective of a former child #even theoretical experiences. in this case

putting these pages together for no particular reason

#(so i could come back to it later and think of an art idea) #SORRY i need to talk about stuff because aaaaa. ill make a side blog at some point i promise #i know the obvious parallel is ch2 and ch25 when yashiro was crying #especially if you look at it from doumeki's perspective with all his guilt and fear of becoming like his father #but if you shift the perspective to aoi and yashiro then these two work as well #both of them are so resigned to their suffering at this point and don't expect any help but doumeki shows up anyway #even if it was pure chance with aoi he still “saved” her and she tells him that she's able to do what she loves now because of him #and doumeki obviously couldn't have done anything to help yashiro when he was a child. but at least he saved him from hirata #which isn't even about hirata as a person #it's about hirata as this walking manifestation of violent homophobia and a way for yashiro to go through with his suicidal ideations #also. doumeki going to jail for 4 years in aoi's case and him being “forgotten” for 4 years in yashiro's. #he didn't even get to hear yashiro's “you saved me” because he was unconcious. and with aoi he was so focused on his guilt #that he probably didn't think about it this way either. no wonder “your sister was lucky she had you” made him cry #and no wonder he's so bitter and hurt post-time skip #oh doumeki chikara you sure are one of the characters ever (affectionate AND derogatory)

In conclusion. I wanna strangle Silva's bio parents.

#ooc ;; pterodolphin has no devil fruit #;; delete later ;; #GBTHFFHRHG #theyre legitimately terrible its bonkers how fucking terrible they are #and its in the most mundane ways too. since from an outside perspective theyd be considered like #decent people. who are just like. kinda depressive sometimes but tnats it. #their 'child disappearing' made the locals pity them. especially when the case was found cold and silva called dead. #they were pitied. rather than hated.

Picked up my library book!

I find this case quite interesting, mainly because of the early-internet creepypasta aspect (when I was 12 my friends and I also spent a lot of time reading creepy shit online, and this is like...the worst case scenario of that) but the crime has become kind of a shock-value urban legend itself, so it can be hard to find accurate and non-exaggerated info about it. I'm hoping this book will clear some things up!

#i watched the documentary but even that was very PARENTS THIS IS WHY YOUR CHILD SHOULD NEVER GO ONLINE!!!!! shock value-y #and every true crime podcast seems to have different info and theories #i just want the facts ma'am #also like...i think when we were 12 we all knew a couple kids who took fictional things Way Too Seriously #like not just from a fandom perspective but like 'okay susan you understand fiction right?' #and this is like the worst case scenario of those kids. most people even if they are mentally ill will not murder #this is also why im so fascinated by the final fantasy VII cult (Cult Podcast has a fairly good ep on them) #thinking about reading #thinking about defending my interest in true crime lol

[catdammitjackie]

i’ve been listening to this dark rewatch podcast and they’re ranting about the origin character… and i’m giggling because their proposed fixed ending is literally just 12 monkeys season 3

#it’s just unfortunately the case with a lot of criticism people have with certain stories #the story you are looking for is just not the one you’re watching #and what you want fixed is just… another story #and tbh I agree.. I preferred how 12 monkeys handled the rosemary’s child type story better #since we actually had both cassie and cole’s perspective #and how that later leads into their decisions during the finale #and how the loops ends #whereas with the unknown idgaf #he’s not athan… he’s not jennifer… and he’s not cole

watched germania anno zero and now i can't stop crying

#like quiet crying the one when the tears seem to never stop #god i never watched such an utterly tragic film... so sad and so full of horror... to think i've experienced that through the thoughts and #emotions of a child #it's so? wow #immediate reaction was that this was my least favorite in the antifascist war trilogy #and it might still be true but it's been 20 minutes since it ended and i'm so shaken still and... this one hit me so hard #and i personally give importance to how i react to film emotionally even if having a strong reaction doesn't necessarily equate to the film #being good! #i'll need to think on this when my mind's clearer but well in this case there's no doubt the film IS good i mean rossellini is.. rossellini #i think paisà is still my favorite and then roma città aperta and finally germania anno zero? but this can change #roma città aperta and also paisà had HOPE tho that's the thing about germania anno zero that fucked me UP #the ending is so brutal and there's no hope like there was in the previous two #what's very interesting to me is that germania anno zero is the last in the trilogy. the latest one #and it's the most bleak and hopeless!! that's so interesting #germania anno zero was released in 1948 paisà in 1946 and roma città aperta in 1945 #now to put that into perspective - roma città aperta was released in italy in september. not even SIX MONTHS after the liberation of italy! #all this makes me think there was more hope immediately after the liberation and then the more the consequences of such a devastating war #were seen the more the hope was lost #then obviously there's the fact the first 2 films were set and shot in italy meanwhile germania anno zero is about germany (post-war) #i'm not sure how but that probably has weight too in why germania anno zero is so tragic #anyway all very interesting and now i've calmed down lol #nico.txt

haven't seen this on here yet so:

in case you don't want to slog through the shitscape that is the bird/letter website, take a peek beneath the cut (shamelessly copied from the something awful forums dungeon meshi thread)

- Her first memory of video games was watching her father playing Wizardry on Famicom, also Dragon Quest, Ultima, and Fire Emblem among others.

- She was a difficult child so her parents didn't let her play. Wizardry is a boring game to watch, but the monster illustrations on the walkthrough evoked her imagination and made her keep watching.

- She only started becoming a serious gamer after the serialization of Dungeon Meshi was locked, for research purposes. Before that, she read fantasy novels such as The Neverending Story (Michael Ende) and The Lord of the Rings (JRR Tolkien).

- The international title for Dungeon Meshi: Delicious in Dungeons was decided by her editor.

- D&D popped up a lot when she researched the history of video games, so she read the rule books, replay novels, and games inspired by D&D.

- One of the first games she studied was the Legend of Grimrock (game's 80% off on Steam atm). Originally, she wanted Dungeon Master (FTL Games) which was famous for "RPG with meals" but hunting down the game and machine was too much.

- She didn't like games other than turn-based RPGs at first, but she decided to stop being picky and play anything that piqued her interest.

- She played Zelda: BotW and TotK on a borrowed Switch from her editor due to the console's scarcity at the time.

- She enjoyed Red Dead Redemption 2 and God of War for their stories. RDR2's incredible attention to detail had Kui engrossed so much that she asked her editor and other mangaka to play it so she could discuss it with them.

- Kui praised The Witcher 3 localization as something only possible with full support from the developer. Cyberpunk 2077 is one of her all-time favorites.

- Papers, Please was her first taste of indie games.

- Disco Elysium is the perfect game for her due to the lack of fighting, intriguing story, charming character interaction, and top-down perspective. She tried playing it in English at first due to an unlikely chance for JP loc, but it was out of her ability. Thus she is forever grateful to Spike Chunsoft for localizing it.

- Kui played Baldur's Gate 3 from the time it was in Early Access. Again, she's grateful for Spike Chunsoft's JP loc. She hoped BG3's success would bring the possibility of JP loc for other titles too, such as Pathfinder: wotr

- She likes games with top-down perspective because they have narration text for monologues and scenery description. Even if the graphic is lacking, the texts show the atmosphere and each character's behavior and psyche. Also, characters that react to your choices.

- She praised Unpacking and House Flipper for being able to tell what kind of person lives there only through their belongings, and that there's no right or wrong for the placements; she would make the best arrangement and then enjoy her hard work while sipping tea.

- The biggest inspiration for Dungeon Meshi was the Cosmic Forge pen from Wizardry VI. With improved graphics from its predecessor, now it could show broken farming tools in the background and many more details that made exploration so much fun.

- At the time of the interview (Dec '23) she still hadn't watched DunMeshi anime, but she attended the recording sessions. She's embarrassed that the dialog she wrote now acted passionately by professionals. Marcille's screaming was wonderful but also made her want to flee.

- Kui was anxious about the CP2077 anime adaptation, but she was relieved it was the Night City she knows and loves.

- Other than minor adjustments, she left it to TRIGGER as to how to adapt

- She's happy that Mitsuda Yasunori was chosen as the anime composer, as she used to play Chrono Cross and rewatched the opening many times.

- Her anticipated games in 2024 are Cloudpunk, Nivalis, and Avowed.

- DunMeshi would be hard to adapt into a game because in the first place, what Kui depicted in the manga are parts that are omitted in games for the sake of brevity.

- If DunMeshi game was Wizardry-like, it'd be told through Laios' perspective and eating was essential not to die

#dungeon meshi #she only started playing video games after dunmeshi got picked up???? damn #that's dedication to the craft #i would *so* play a dunmeshi video game... #likes top-down perspective and strong narratives and character reactivity... she's just like me fr

I think a thing that people get wrong about Jason's anger is that it's not explosive.

It's cold. Jason isn't the type of person who storms off at every little thing or goes throwing tantrums and setting things on fire blindfully.

He's the type of person who's very practical. He keeps to himself, always. You rarely see issues where Jason's anger is reactive at the moment where the trigger happens to him. If you see his character up close, most of the time when he's triggered his reaction is calm. Even cold.

He gets triggered -> He keeps to himself → He makes a plan → And then he reacts.

Jason's anger being something explosive and out of character and out of place is actually how other people (characters) see it, because they have no idea on how it's playing out on Jason's head.

And that's a thing you can see operating since he was a child.

Where the only exceptions about this effect is either when someone he believes needs his help is involved.

See Nightwing Annual (2021)

But In Batman #411 when Jason learns the fact that Two-Face was responsible for his father's death and Bruce was keeping that from him as a secret his first reaction isn't to blow up on him.

Was to seethe.

Bruce goes up home after dealing with a Two-Face case (in my field we call that poetic irony) and asks Alfred where Jason is, Alfred's answer is that he's been sleeping all day (which is a conclusion that Alfred drew probably after going to check on Jason and seeing him in fact on his bed all day).

But when you see the next panel, even though he is on the bed, He's fully awake and both his expression and his body language shows that he's in fact angry.

This is the first time he appears again in the comics after learning that Two Face killed his dad.

Jason doesn't go towards Bruce immediately to demand an explanation or ask why he did this, or even to throw the truth on his face.

(Which could be debatable that that's something the Dick would usually do, but I'm not that literate on Dick's comics)

His reaction wasn't immediate.

His reaction was to go to his bed and stay quiet. Jason stayed calm and collected the whole trip until meeting Two Face again.

But the moment Jason as Robin has the opportunity to get his hands on Two-Face he does this

From Bruce, and maybe Alfred's perspective it could be interpreted as out of place or him storming off.

But it isn't. Jason was able to keep his cool (even though he shut off), until he was face a face to Two Face.

Does that mean he planned that to happen?

That's debatable, in any moment of this issue it is shown that Jason was actually planning to get to Two Face and do this. I my personal opinion, other and much more plausible explanation is: That he was in fact trying to keep to himself but couldn't hold back the moment that he saw his dad's murder.

You can see the same thing happening as Jason learns that Batman got another Robin in Red Hood: Lost Days.

Talia asks "You all right?" and Jason's first answer is "Sure Why Wouldn't I Be Alright?"

When he's alone he finally has the moment to break down.

(Actually both Red Hood: The lost days and Batman: Under the Red Hood are great case studies on how that usually play out on Jason's head.)

Jason is way more in control of his emotions than people ever give him credit for. The thing is that Jason holds it back until he either blows off or is capable to throw it back in someone's face.

#I didn't finish not even half of my thoughts in here but I'm going to publish it before it gets drag in my 182828383 drafts #if you disagree lets fist fight at six am #jason todd #q rambles #character study #writing Jason Todd #← this is not a guide this is literally the tag I use to organize things #q screams at the void #q rants

Apothecary Diaries is pog as fuck bc serious political issues and dynamics from a woman's POV are rarely depicted in ANY form of media

It's always a man's world where women's issues surround him. Even if we get a female perspective once in awhile- it all comes back to how it facilitates his game in the end. She's a footnote in the overarching scheme of things. Misogyny exists. Back to the real plot.

Apothecary Diaries is strictly from a female perspective and how each class of woman has to act, what limits they have, what rights they have and don't have between each class, etc. These women have to behave a certain way under a patriarchy, which you would think makes it a man's story, but it never is. The women are THE focus of this show, their struggles are THE plot. The focus is about how the patriarch effects them.

Take the concubines for example. The show dives into how bearing a child affects their rank, how traumatizing it is to lose that child, the consequences of that, etc. We have barely seen the emperor who sired all these kids because this is not about him.

Jinshi's personal plot is secondary to Mao Mao's journey- he is mostly there to provide new cases for Mao Mao to solve and to learn more about the shortcomings of his class when taking care of citizens like Mao Mao.

Jinshi is not a bad person, but by virtue of his position in the higher classes, he cannot understand how harsh life as a poor WOMAN is specifically- he can only catch glimpses of it from what Mao Mao tells him and feel outrage but powerless in his wealth and luxury

Mao Mao is a fortunate commoner woman for what privileges someone in her class should and shouldn't have. She happened to be adopted by a knowledgeable man. She is allowed to read, write, learn, and has enough skill to be a poison tester and have a job EXTREMELY out of her class limit as an apothecary, also a job not traditionally meant for women

Mao Mao is not a "noT lIkE oThER gIrLs" protagonist, she is FOR THE GIRLIES. She only wants to help the women around her, and women are whom she has the closest relationships to. She sees a woman being harassed and can't let it stand. She sees a frail, traumatized woman dying from the recklessness of those who should be caring for her and spends day and night nursing her back to health, while also punishing the people who were so careless with her needs.

My girl has STUDIED UP on THE BODY to TEACH these upper class ladies on how to really HEAT things up in the BEDROOM

Sex depicted in Apothecary Diaries is both something women are not shamed to be enjoying, while at the same time being acknowledged as an unfortunately huge economic necessity to market themselves.

Like shit is just so real in this series???

Listen, I can go on and on about how GOATED the series and especially Mao Mao is but you get the picture

Fantasy!AU Vincent - Take 2

No one knows what the mysterious Doctor Valentine is- as they look eerily human- but they certainly couldn't be like you or I. There is something cold and inhuman in their gaze that freezes your blood in an instant. It leaves you paralyzed until their ruby eyes leave your own. Rumours skitter through the little town of Nibelheim regarding why they adopt children in the manner that they do. Some claim to consume them, others say they sacrifice them for power though the notion of such things is swiftly dismissed when the esteemed physician comes calling to help the sick. In truth, they shield the plethora of young supernatural beings in the world from those who wish to do them harm. They provide shelter, warmth, companionship and safety to the children that society rejects. It is rare that the doctor is disliked by their wards and many have nothing but praise for their caregiver. Though- underneath their kind and gentle exterior- lies a beast of untold darkness that only gets to reign free when their children are placed at risk by arrogant humans. Those who enter the manor to do harm to the residents within its walls are consumed by the doctor swiftly; unable to fight back against the living shadows which spring to life with a flick of their master's elegant hand.

Video by ErinInTheMorning on TikTok

[Transcript (there's captions on screen but in case you can't turn on audio):

Erin: "File this one away for the transgender history books, whenever they write about our history; today Lindsey Spero, a trans man, stood in front of the Florida Board of Medicine, which was about to vote to medically ban all gender affirming care for trans youth.

He stood there to deliver his testimony, he delivered a little bit of it, but then he took the remainder of his testimony time to stand there and inject his hormone therapy in front of all of them in stunned silence, and then he turned around and raised his fist. Watch this."

Lindsey: "My name is Lindsey Spero, I'm 25 years old, I'm a resident of St. Petersburg, Florida. I'm also transgender.

I am someone who was subjected to treatments that have been questionable, that were mentioned by people like that woman who came up and spoke, I can tell you for a fact that her child is going to grow up hating her.

I'm sure you've heard many stories that sound like mine already, over the last few months my trans siblings and family members have stood before you, put their hearts on full display and vulnerable pleaded with you to listen to our stories and perspectives.

The American Academy of Pediatrics has condemned your actions and our federal government has spoken out against the actions you seek to take regarding the necessary health care for trans youth.

I could stand here and tell you about the times I attempted to end my life because I didn't have access to gender affirming care but I know, I know you don't care. I see you sneering at us while we come here and talk to you.

Instead I'm going to take the rest of my time to demonstrate the sacred and weekly ritual of my shot in front of you, in this body.

My medication is life saving, I will use HRT for the rest of my life, your denial of my need for this medication, doesn't make my existence as a trans person any less real.

I will be giving myself my subcutaneous shot in my stomach. If you have a needle phobia, please look away."

Lindsey injects his T-shot in silence, helped by another person who passes him a needle and the testosterone in its vial.

After finishing, he raises his fist and turns around to the audience.

Lindsey: "Tomorrow and forever."

The crowd cheers and a few people get up to clap.

Erin: "That, that is what I'm talking about! Good job Lindsey! This is the kind of resistance that matters!"

End transcript.]

(As a sidenote, it seems that Lindsey identifies as nonbinary, not necessarily (or exclusively, anyways) as a trans man. Some articles identify him as transmasc but all of his socials state nonbinary.)
