#i'd still be mad

[humanitys-strongest-bamf]

cw: ableism, mentions of substance use disorders, professions being shitty about mental health and me being problematic about it under the cut

tldr; social work can be sanctimonious and self-righteous and still perpetuates ableism and oppression and i decided to be a problem about it and called it out :)

ok so i was at a webinar earlier today that was talking about getting licensed as a clinical social worker in the state that i'm in. 1) it was useless and i learned nothing so i'm already pissed about that, but 2)

they had a slide about potential reasons that your application might not be considered and there were two that specifically stood out to me. they listed "a history of substance use disorders" and "having a mental health diagnosis". i would also like to note that this presentation was from the licensing board, so this isn't a case of misinterpretation of information

now, i wasn't really paying attention for the most part because i realized by this point that i wasn't learning anything but then i saw this slide and i guess it ripped me out of my stupor because then i deadass typed into chat that it was discrimination and a clear violation of our code of ethics and questioned their rationale

and they got SO defensive and dodged my question, immediately saying that it's only a *potential reason* and that it's for "safety concerns"

i was tired as fuck because it's one of my fatigued days so i didn't respond but i really REALLY wanted to ask them to explicitly define what "safety concerns" means and watch them dig themselves into a hole that forces them to admit that they're being ableist shits because what the actual fuck

whats worse is that we're ALWAYS talking about advancing social justice (it is LITERALLY stated in our code of ethics) and then turning around and pulling bullshit like this.

anyways, my comment disrupted their presentation and forced everyone to realize the weight of their statement and the board kinda proved to everyone the epitome of how our field still perpetuates oppression despite claiming to fight in dismantling it

#cw: ableism #i wouldn't be so mad if we weren't always preaching about DEI #because we're literally saying “look at us we're advancing social justice uwu” #and then turning around and being like “lol you thought” #i'd still be mad #just a *tad* less #kat rambles #vent post

Why do this??? Why show us that Dean wanted out?? That Dean thought about quitting hunting. Retiring. That Dean wanted to LIVE. When you intended from the get go to impale him on a rusty rebar. Because "it was always gonna end like this." Because "it was supposed to end like this, right?" Because Dean „HAD TO DIE?????” What do you mean Dean would never stop hunting when you’ve literally showed us he wanted to???? What do you mean Dean wanted to die hunting when he literally said he DIDN'T??

#honestly I wish someone bothered to explain non-maliciously because i don't get what went wrong here #and I'd love to understand #it's been 4 years and I'm still mad about it #and I am a Cas girl #but i just can't forgive them for Dean's ending #supernatural #dean winchester #spn 15x20

"Oh, that's technically your half-brother. You shouldn't call them your brothers because that gets confusing for others-" True, we have different dads. But I'll still call him my brother. He will always be my brother.

"She's really actually their aunt-" That's their mom. They call her mom. She is their mom.

"They're not even related to you-" That doesn't mean they're less of an uncle to me.

Don't be the "Technically" police with what people call their family members! You can take note but don't ask them to change what they're called because it's "confusing"!

in defense of kabumisu……..

addressing things I see people say about why kabru being shipped w mithrun is ‘bad’ or why their canon relationship ‘doesn’t mean anything’ while also clearing up misconceptions of the characters some fans have

listen it keeps popping up and I just gotta do this or my brain will melt (if you don’t see it around then god I wish that were me) there’s an age gap!- erm there’s also an age gap in farcille (ily), the most popular ship in the series...also chilchuck looks like a kid but a lot of fans recognize him as a dilf because of his relative age, so there should be no age gap discourse among adult characters because it feels so conditional tbh

kabru taking care of mithrun is racist!- marcille likes to take care of others as well. is that sexist, or just an aspect of her character?

kabru isn’t treated like a servant, waiting on mithrun hand and foot…I mean he gives mithrun a foot massage but no one told him to do all that lmfao

he's also not the only one to care for mithrun. pattadol is shown to worry for him and milsril was the one to start taking care mithrun in the first place after he…...y’know. speaking of which-

they probably met when kabru was a kid!- neither of them showed signs of recognizing each other the entire time mithrun was introduced nor when they were together. and im pretty sure KABRU of all people would show some kind of recognition if they'd met before. it's kabru!!! the people person!!! mr. "i-noted-down-50+-characters-in-this-dude's-backstory-for-fun-and-actually-enjoy-social-gatherings"

you would think some kind of memory would come back to him especially after hearing mithrun’s backstory if milsril had even told kabru about him as a kid. but nope. it’s just fan speculation unless there's a side comic suggesting otherwise that i haven't seen

mithrun doesn't care about kabru, his shapeshift double looked like shit!- it's obviously because of mithrun's (then) lack of desires that it looked like that, but they really grow on each other

i think it's safe to assume it'd look more like kabru after they spent so much time together (also laios can barely even remember kabru's name..also saw his face multiple times and didn’t recognize him when they talked for the first time)

mithrun is racist!- he’s actually the least likely character to be racist since he lost his desires and that includes a desire for superiority over others. he even calls his past self out on that part of himself. the other elves in that side comic were being just as racist to shorter lived races but just didn’t use ‘outdated slurs’

(unfortunately literally every main character in dunmeshi is at least a lil prejudiced, but I believe it’s worldbuilding and a sign of the times rather than a reason ryoko kui is giving to hate each character)

taking care of others is a pain in the ass!- saying this as a reason kabru and mithrun shouldn't be together is basically saying disabled people shouldn't be allowed to have romantic relationships because they're a "burden"...if someone is actually willing to put in the work, then let them be.

that's not even all of their relationship, mithrun is the fighter of their duo and kabru would've been killed by the shapeshifter or something if he'd fallen down the hole on his own since he sucks at fighting monsters. mithrun helps collect ingredients for cooking every time, too (barometz fruits and griffin egg). he pulls his weight and then some!! i feel like people forget that part of mithrun a lot somehow.

+senshi literally cooks for everyone all time. it's kind of an important aspect of the narrative.

+also, while it is a popular fan thing I see around that kabru handfeeds mithrun, he literally never does lol this is mithrun using his own hands to eat:

also here we have him washing his own body

just saying because people like to treat mithrun like a baby even though the narrative respects him as a capable adult who also has special needs because of an accident. he’s captain for a reason

kabru hates taking care of mithrun!- not exactly, he was initially surprised and put off but got used to it quickly. i’m sure he’s grateful for all the times mithrun saved him from a monster and teleported them out of danger as well

he even starts doing “unnecessary” things for mithrun’s comfort and safety like when mithrun pushes himself too hard fighting, even after his mission to take care of him was complete when the canaries came back

here is even kabru resting while mithrun keeps watch (mithrun let him sleep for 5 hours before waking him up from the nightmare earlier, too):

there's nothing more to their relationship!- they actually have had a very tight and consistent dynamic since they met and they incite the most change within each other by the end. kabru is the one who inspires mithrun to create new desires so he doesn't waste away, and mithrun is the first person we see kabru being genuine with and it leads him to be more honest with others by the end instead of tiptoeing around everyone all the time (that mask was also the reason some ppl initially disliked kabru…)

kabru’s relationship with mithrun is honestly so important for his character and vice versa, but it’s often disregarded because of one over exaggerated aspect of it (an aspect that isn’t even the first way they interact with each other) or because people want to just straight up ignore it for some reason 🥲🥲

kui dedicates many panels to them that don't particularly serve the narrative as a whole in order to demonstrate this and i think that's pretty significant

you're taking this too seriously!- as if i'm the first person in the world to be crazy about a ship or the characters 😭 i love analyzing text and it's upsetting to see them mischaracterized when kui lays out the characters so clearly and deliberately

also they end up touching each other like all the time and have the kind of canon validation most ppl can only dream of lol i feel so insane look at this:

and this is just when they're first getting to know each other cuz there's a fuckload more

kinda hard to explain how i don't actually need them to get married or whatever but i'd die on this hill for them and i enjoy their dynamic immensely

haha you thought you were reading ship discourse but it was actually a character analysis 🤪🤪🤪

also don’t somehow take this to mean I think anyone has to ship them, I just need everyone to understand these accusations kind of don’t make sense especially when they can also apply to other pairs or characters

bonus kabru just looking at mithrun:

#dungeon meshi #kabumisu #kabru of utaya #mithrun #dungeon meshi spoilers #i'd rather be able to enjoy their dynamic without feeling like i have to explain it but i keep seeing the same takes i cant do this anym- #i feel like i advocate for kabumisu so much because i see so many people mischaracterizing kabru to make l4bru work like how they want #by saying he’s obsessed w laios because he thinks he’s hot..but he was curious about his autistic behavior and eventually thought his lack #of malice would make laios the best candidate for becoming dungeon lord to prevent another utaya tragedy. tho eventually he doubts that #not that i care that he's shipped with laius. i just want ppl to see kabru for who he IS bc some still think hes nothing but a shady bicth #i think that's best shown through his dynamic with mithrun (other than his own words of course) so i want ppl to acknowledge it properly #like idk if I can trust popular fan interpretations of the characters or relationships anymore after the shit with toshiro bro 💀💀 #not trying to attach kabru’s entire being to mithrun or anything either just..saying #hm i feel like the way i worded all of this will make some ppl mad. not my intention but whoops #anyways has anyone drawn ship art of senshi and mithrun yet? anyone?

Actually I think we should all collectively work harder at misunderstanding TLoZ canon and simping for Ganondorf and I'm not even kidding.

#thoughts #ganondorf #tloz #zelda fandom critical #it's actually fine to reject and/or reappropriate an extremely flawed intended reading lens #I'd say it's even advisable #tbh I'm still mad at how most people were completely oblivious to totk's undigested orientalism/islamophobia #or that it wasn't a discussion point in the mainstream AT ALL #even among colleagues who honestly should have known better #and that people in here breaching the topic with as much delicacy and patience as they could muster #led to *entire sideblogs* being created to deflect this perspective #to “correct the misinformation” :)

Clover fanart real? It's more likely than you think!

Based heavily off of the casual 60s/70s father fit he likes spending time alone in the Backrooms with his children (until some nnNNNASTY players come into their home and start runnning around)

it sucks so fucking much how easily you can tell where the story has been cut and which scenes and plotpoints in Thanks To Them should have been episodes of their own but because Disney and corporations as a whole hate art and stories that might challenge or upset people we will only ever get to see glimpses of what should have been.

There are some scenes in BSD you could have fun with actually

A doctor becomes the leader of an organization by killing the last one, making it look like natural causes somehow with the witness being an apprenticed aged guy telling him to say that the former leader said that his successor was the doctor

Like that would be cool as shit in bonewarriors. Evil medic that gained power in a way that people can’t question but also like… should? Would be a hell of an exploration I think

Ok but like, that's Good writing. Good writing isn't as much fun to fix. From what you're telling me, Bungo is a Good series

If there was any anime I was going to beat with a hammer until it's a good story it's Naruto. That is the kind of anime that's so close to being good its ending will fold a protein in your brain wrong and become a prion disease

#if BB ever became an original project and I had to make things more different from WC I'd take inspiration from there #because with the village setup + kage/daimyo distinction + lineages... #it would actually be a fantastic setup for a longterm story about generational changes. Which is the biggest reason I love WC so much #it's not that because Kishi is like... uninterested in actual politics. still mad about the conclusion of shippuden. #but anyway I won't get too into my problems with naruto because this is a cat blog #i yelled about them once before lmaoo #I'll talk about Naruto more on bonebabbles if it's requested though.

DcxDp prompt

based on a mix of "TWINcognito mode" on ao3 and the "mad scientist fenton" au and some other clone promt i can't remember the name of (2 for 1 or something)

so essentially ra's makes a clone of tim with his spleen (because he's a creep) and dunked it in the lazarus pits because something, readers choice. But something went wrong, like really wrong and now not only does said clone (now danny) have some eldritch soul

But because of the pits, his memories (both from tim and danny) are so mingled and messy that he can't tell the two sets of memories apart from one another.

So with his mixed up mind danny runs away from ra's and vanishes from the league of assassins radar.

On another note multiple heros/vigilantes have this mad scientist teen running around calling himself fenton

(Danny only has vague memories from both himself and tim as well as a bunch of random information, but he can't tell the memories apart from each other, also I'd like to imagine that because he has such vague memories he ends up creating Android/robot versions of like sam, tucker, jazz and such)

and here are the references for this prompt

#dpxdc #danny fenton #tim drake #batfam #justice league #ras al ghul #Clone fuckery #Mad scientist danny #Clone danny #Danny head is not screwed on quite right but thats ok #He's still the feral mad scientist everyone seems to love #I'd imagine he'd wear like some kind of gas mask and well as goggles #The batfam are very confused #Everyone is confused and concerned by this 16-17 year old deranged teen running around

It's giving.... Crayola 😳

#my art #crayola #colors of the world #this might be my best portrait so far and im mad bc it came from crayola of all my pencils 😅 #and would you believe me if i said this drawing is technically translucent #bc crayola isnt opaque and you can still see the texture of the paper through her skin if you look hard enough #and the wax bloom was INSANE so i had to spray the drawing with a gloss coating to neutralize it #overall even though these are not artist grade pencils I'd give them a solid 8/10 for what theyre worth #will be using them again at some point
