this fourth-grader just said to me: "so you haven't gotten into harvard yet?" like what?

the urge to out-ego this munchkin who also happens to be at perfect dropkick height and make him cry is KILLING me

#also why tf would I want to go to harvard #the concept of harvard is stupid in itself #“hey let's claim to be the most prestigious school in the nation when in actuality 20-30% of our students are legacies” #the shampoo bottle is getting destroyed tonight fr #fourth grade #elementary school #elementary schoolers #children #kids #harvard #harvard sucks

Hc that Vox asked Alastor out a few years ago before he left and that’s what Alastor really meant by “he asked ME to join his team!!!” in Stayed Gone bc he just. Wildly misinterpreted his archenemesis going “hey we should be together”

#hazbin hotel #vox #alastor #staticradio #radiostatic #((one sided radiostatic is just funny as hell ok)) #they’re both equally obsessed with taking each other down but Vox approaches the situation as an elementary schooler with a crush #meanwhile Alastors like damn that tv man sure sucks lemme ruin his day. anyways #compass speaks

I think something i don't often see in discussions about Futa's character is how, if you really take a second, he's kind of a people pleaser

He isn't so in a way like what Mikoto got going on, he does want to be around people of the same interests as him, and you wouldn't think he'd care about anything but authenticity if you stayed with the way he behaves on milgram. It is only when you think about him -in- those social circles he manages to get into that you can see him tweaking lol

I think the closest to see this that we have in milgram itself is that one interaction with Kotoko in which she attempts to debate how prisons respect human rights. Any other time he expressed his opinion/stance on things he was aggressive and maybe condescending to the rest because they disagreed with him, but the second someone agreed? Whole demeanor changed. Suddenly he didn't have much to say anymore and he just parroted Kotoko's words back at her. Why. If he has such a strong personality and mindset, why was someone validating his point enough to shut down his otherwise very firm attitude?

Futa doesn't go as far as to manufacture his every word for it to cause a positive reaction on others from the get go, but he does seek validation all the same. He braces himself for rejection by being loud and obnoxious and harsh until he sees a positive reaction and then is when he does a complete 180 to keep the other person in that place of validation. He is simultaneously completely bad at it though, but I never said he was good at people pleasing. Which connects back to what i've said before about his inability to fit in. Even when he thinks he's doing it right and he sees himself getting validation by people he cares about (in the case of his crime, by mimicking his friendgroup's method of "bringing justice" by calling out someone online, that same friendgroup following along and reinforcing the idea that he was doing it right), he ultimately fails anyway and loses it all over again.

In the end, he's just extremely socially awkward and anxious. It isn't in his nature to reach anyone else's expectations even if he genuinely wants to, so he'll either do what he can within his parameters (mold himself for his friendgroup of people he deems similar to him) or he'll avoid trying altogether because he knows he'll fail (what we see in milgram!)

It also shows how his yearn for a support system (t2 qna + mu's birthday timeline convo) isn't particularly new from his current circumstances, or why the only person he could think of when asked who he would want to see right now was his mom (who left so long ago he barely remembers her). He has just never truly had people that genuinely cared for him no matter what he tried to do to make himself likeable.

#and having this in mind i think i understand why he seems to be “giving in” to amane's beliefs #it isnt solely because of his current vulnerability #it isnt even just to find solace in religion #it is because amane offered him help. in a way shes validating him #and if believing in bullshit like salvation and god will make at least the elementary schooler talk to him sometimes #against being left alone with his thoughts and the voices in the walls #with the track record he has of slightly molding himself and mimicking others #yeahh #and honestly that only means itll backfire even worse! on Him! #in his own words #it is what it isSorry #but no yeah hes fucked. i dont think his religious arc is gonna make shit complicated for anyone else but him #but itll be AWFUL on him #milgram #fuuta kajiyama #fuuta milgram #character analysis #sorta kinda #as always

I’ve been seeing a lot of discussion about Clarisse’s casting in the PJO show that basically boils down to “anyone can be ugly if they have a mean personality.” And like yes, that’s true, but "ugly" people also exist (by ugly, I mean not conventionally attractive). let ugly people be ugly (so long as their ugliness is not a reflection of wider prejudice - ie, if only the evil characters are fat, that’s bad).

This bothers me especially because there is no representation for tall, broad, fat, “ugly” preteen and teenage girls, at least not any that isn’t centered around them becoming beautiful. I don’t think ugliness is a bad word on its own. making a character who rejects femininity and is described as ugly both pretty and feminine isn’t making some kind of statement about how pretty people can be mean too, especially because Clarisse is ultimately redeemed.

For her character to be ugly and mean at the start of the story and end still "ugly" (by conventional standards of femininity) and nice means that her character growth is about her personality - and that her looks were never a reflection of her morality.

It's true that you can be pretty while rejecting femininity, but the way Clarisse is styled in the show (in my opinion) is too feminine. Her appearance is too put together, too subtly feminine, for how she's described in the books. This is no shade to Dior! I actually think she does a great job as Clarisse and I look forward to seeing more of her. But tv and movies have a long history of casting attractive women only to call their characters unattractive, thus reinforcing harmful stereotypes about what is and isn’t beautiful, instead of casting actually *average* looking women.

THAT is the representation my middle school self is aching for. I want a middle schooler who’s taller than all her friends, who’s got a belly, who looks awkward in dresses because of her build, who’s wider than her male friends, who's going through puberty faster than her friends, who has acne and doesn’t wear makeup and doesn’t understand what femininity is and dresses like a Tom boy. These traits aren't ugly. They're normal. They're just not aesthetically attractive, so they are invariably erased from media.

Where is my preteen girl in basketball shorts because the shorts available to girls are too revealing for someone of her size? Where is my teenager who has been told, explicitly or otherwise, that she doesn't conform to beauty standards, so she refuses to wear dresses or skirts? Where is the girl who knows she's "ugly" and doesn't care? Where is the one who never cared until someone told her, and suddenly she wishes to be skinny and slender and not broad-shoulder and not tall and to look like her mom instead of being told she looks like her dad?

I'm all for diversity in casting because people are diverse. But body type - and not just visually appealing or acceptable body types - is part of diversity to. Annabeth’s appearance has virtually no impact on her character, and Leah carries her perfectly. For Clarisse and others like Piper, their appearance is INCREDIBLY relevant to their characters.

Let “ugly” girls be ugly. Combatting fatphobia - which also includes normal sized women and broad shoulders, because the fashion industry has labelled all non-models as fat - in media is not just about showing non-skinny people as attractive. It’s about showing non-skinny people as EXISTING. and being valid for that alone, outside of their moral or aesthetic value.

I can only think of one actress who’s roughly my build. I can think of zero times I watched media aimed for kids and saw a kid my size. Diversity is not just an aesthetic designed to be palatable. Casting characters with ugly personalities as beautiful people when the character in question will go through a redemption isn't the slay some people think because it's still reinforcing the idea that looks have moral value. I rarely see characters without aesthetic attractiveness nowadays, not ones who are on the hero's side; when it comes to children, when I say attractiveness I mean the way a child in a clothing ad looks cute and cheerful, not romantic/sexual attractiveness. For children especially, body positivity is far less important than body neutrality - the idea that their bodies don't have morality or attractive value attached.

What's most important to me is that "ugly" and unfeminine preteen and teenage girls see themselves represented neutrally, in a way I can't recall ever seeing myself.

I don't mean to hate on Dior. I really do think she's excellent as Clarisse. This is just my perspective, as an "ugly," tall, broad-shouldered, chubby former middle school girl who would've loved to see someone who looked like me.

dabi’s just. really big on biting. 

it's like some twisted paroxysm, something spurred by the intense fondness that grips his chest when he catches you doing something that should be ridiculously mundane, like humming to yourself while folding laundry or cooing over stray cats or, worst of all, giving him one of those radiant, saccharine smiles just that makes him want to... want to.....

that’s the thing. he doesn’t know what this feeling is or what to do with it, the sweetness so overwhelming that it aches. he just knows that it is satiated, or at least soothed into something marginally less paralyzing, when he feels your skin sink between his teeth. it doesn’t really matter where - a finger, a shoulder, a cherubic cheek, a supple thigh. just whatever exposed strip of skin that his frantic eyes happen to focus on first. sometimes he’ll bite hard enough to leave the imprint of his canines in your skin, or even hard enough to have you crying out and swatting him away. it all depends on you, in a way, and just how unbearably biteable you’re being in that moment, how hard he needs to go to satisfy this inexplicable urge.

there’s also the added bonus of your reaction in that first fleeting, delicious second that his teeth nip at your flesh. the sick sense of amusement that blooms in his chest when he feels you tense in his hold, your breath hitching in surprise. like a cute little cottontail caught in a snare.

Creepypastas and their TMA alignments, I think.

Jane-the hunt

Jeff-the slaughter

BEN-the spiral/the vast (need to draw this because he's my favorite and I just know this would look sick as hell) maybe the web because of the whole ARG.

Nina-the corruption

Eyeless Jack- the flesh/the dark

Toby- the desolation/the buried

Clockwork -the end

Slenderman- the eye(ran out of ideas)

Laughing Jack- the stranger

The Lonely isn't included because I feel like that applies to most of them.

hello! so I have fractured the heel of foot! I can't walk on it for several weeks but I still have to go to work every day and take the bus everywhere, so I'm trying to buy one of those little leg scooter things to help make getting around a little easier, but I don't have enough money to buy one as well as pay my rent and bills. the cheapest one I've found is 100 dollars, I'd really appreciate any help!!
