“uhm i think mike would be disgusted by the idea of will liking him you know. Everyone in the eighties were homophobic so like it’s REALISTIC for him to hate gay people. Like i hope they show us real reaction that 80s teenager would have. I realy hope we see mike insult Will and treat him like the little whiny stuPID, INSIGNIFICANT, HORRIBLE, TIME CONSUMING WASTE OF AIR, little fairy that he is. I wish mike starts beating him up, i hope mike says that he always hated gay people and hate crime him,i wish he dumps him and marry my perfect queen that i do not obsess over since she’s eleven like a creep mill- i mean eleven, then he names his kids will to bully and beat the crap outta him every day, i wish he burns everything that has will names attached to it, I wish we see a time skip where we see mike marching in the street against gay marriage and then finally we end the show will alone crying like and a bitch and sa himself like his stupid ugly actor whose name start with a n and finishes by a h, i hate him soooo much since he came ou- i mean changed, yeah, changed. Yeah just like i said stranger things is a realistic show so all that happening is totally logical. HEY i have nothing against gay people you know”

that one line about ramy's bangla being rudimentary made me absolutely sob (i'm bengali) and i wanna talk about why
there's so much to it both contextually with ramy's character as well as historically. contextually because ramy is fluent in 6 languages, an insane number of languages for one person but none of which are his mother tongue. he's described as a performer, one who knows he can't blend in so instead he stands out as a means to escape as much of the racism as he can. he gets lost in it that he almost forgets who he is; this is reflected in his language ability too – he gets so lost in his linguistic academics he just barely remembers the native language of his home place that he adores.
and honestly, you can't even really blame ramy for it at all when it was induced. it's the british who saw urdu, arabic and persian as more valuable than bangla, it's the british that make ramy put on this act so he can literally stay alive. and when you know the historical relevancies between urdu and bangla, it hurts so much that ramy was forced to forget bangla
very brief history context: after the partition, where british india was split into india, pakistan and east pakistan (now bangladesh) bangla was seen as inferior to urdu due to its hindu connections. bengalis experienced so much shit because of this (and bengali muslims are still dealing with the internalised cultural racism today honestly). pakistanis tried to make the official language urdu, even though literally everyone in east pakistan were bengali and spoke bangla, so bengalis fought back against it. we still celebrate that day today (feb 21)
so to have ramy be in this position in the 1830s where urdu was seen as superior to bangla, especially when ramy is a bengali muslim, is just extremely accurate?? and maybe it's bc we don't have much western literature where we talk about this but it's just so nice to have it acknowledged
the bangla language movement didn't happen until around the 1950s, over a century after babel's timeline, but the seeds are always there. while i do think it comes with both this islamic superiority tendency a lot of asians have (arabs i'm looking at you) and britian's imperialistic racism, i just love how it all makes sense

i drew more of melchor in outfits that some of my friends chose!! @0xy--m0r0n chose the first one, and @scattered-winter chose the last one.
I have a better idea of what I’m doing with him now in the rewrite, so he will be seen so much more!!

wait. random idea. Pathetic(blame candy) muzan & kokushibo are exes from Centuries ago and he has Complaints hed like to talk about w him but all hes getting to now is Nakime. hes so sick of his bullshit and just enduring it and goes to kagaya like 'i have to kill kibutsuji. ill help you kill him & the other upper moons just PLEASE im so sick of this shit. i need to kill him' 'well you arent killing me so ill give you the benefit of doubt-'
since they broke up he's hacked at the curse to the point he can snap it Whenever without muzan noticing, he finally did so & went to kagaya bc he can Feel shit's gonna pick up soon. he has his memories but he Ignores Them bc hes ashamed and kinda projecting it onto muzan. he has to kill muzan to kill his shame kinda fucked up coping mechanism yk?
the hashira try to kill him On Sight together but he calmly deflects everything while explaining hes working with them to kill kibutsuji. reluctant acceptance with the note from kagaya giving him a pass. most of them fully believe its a trap tho.
koku seeing tanjiro & his earrings and starting to approach, giyuu already has his blade lodged in his neck as a warning/threat & tanjiro staring at him in shock like 'HUH?? THE MAN FROM MY DREAMS?? HES A DEMON NOW? WAIT WHATS HE DOING HERE-'

Those new friendship dialogue options. Man. This game, continuing the tradition of giving us one way to be nice to Halsin and an endless array of ways to be really mean to him while he's too tactful/kind/autistically oblivious to stand up for himself. "Honored to be your beast of burden" indeed.
Considering I firmly believe that Halsin was in the "bullied as a kid/teenager" and is currently in the "consistently imposed upon as an adult who does not fit within the 'norm' of society to the point that he's internalized and normalized being inherently disregarded as anything other than his physical appearance even when he has multiple times proven himself beyond it" camp, it does very much swim of: at this point what is really the point of standing up for myself/getting upset when I've already clearly indicated that I don't really like when people disregard my feelings? It's a coping mechanism - almost like he has been the bigger person his entire life (...literally and figuratively).
Wonder if he disapproves with that one, too. Unless at that point it's meant to be implied that since he's friends with the player character, he's okay with the animal association now, but like...I don't know, I genuinely don't think Halsin likes that regardless of who it's coming from or whether it's meant as a playful jab or not.

Being an Alfonse enjoyer is SO fucking funny bc one minute you're thinking "Shit this guy can actually be scary if you fucking think about it like he's so fucked up actually" and the next he's. Being dragged along by his little sister and her antics AND he's being a good sport about it. Like he clearly doesn't want to be here but he's not gonna complain. He's going to put his heart into it actually. Because Sharena is putting her whole heart into it!!!! And well. There has to be two of them (retainers). Duh. Obviously.

I strongly dislike when people make jack drake out to be a bad father for wanting his son to stay safe. like yeah tims gonna dislike it but that's because he's too emotionally dependant on robin to let go of it. jack making him quit is obviously going to make him look like a dickhead but he didn't make the wrong choice for wanting his kid to stay safe????
