#its that simple

[a-dinosaur-a-day]

I cannot make things simpler than this specific analogy

Dinosaurs : Birds :: Mammals : Bats

imagine if this mass extinction had only one surviving group of mammals, and that group was bats. they wouldn't stop being mammals, even if they were the only ones left.

that's the situation birds are in. except with one extra detail: birds are doing better, diversity wise, now, than all dinosaurs were doing at the end of the Mesozoic. turns out being small and flying around gives you access to more niches.

so yeah. birds are living dinosaurs, and the story of dinosaurs just gets better after the asteroid, not worse. if we're going with more diversity = better, which is the usual standard in evolutionary biology, at any rate.

tada

Hey gang no meme with this one but hot question for the Limbus gang- Why am I still seeing people he/him-ing Dante

Where did you people come from? Has the plot not been clear enough for you?

no but like deadass

I've legit reached a point seeing some NEW posts (I won't name names) where I'm like "Oh ok cool theor- Ah- they used "He" for Dante- oh ok this person's opinions are now 100% invalid, moving on"

legit why are we still doing this- Even NPCs meeting them for the first time use they/them for them-

AND IF EVEN THEIR ENEMIES DON'T MISGENDER THEM, YOU GUYS SHOULDN'T EITHER

Also if you pull the "Oh, well they cant remember their gender but may have had one before their memory loss so I'm using he/him because of what they used to be" card?

1- You don't know that they started as a guy- they could have even been a woman- who knows- we only hear ticking- Also you know what, even Faust, WHO CLAIMS TO KNOW WHO THEY WERE BEFORE, at least to a degree, ALSO uses they/them for them, so checkmate

2- A character/person doesn't NEED to have a reason/memory loss to be nonbinary- They could very well have been NB even BEFORE the memory loss- Its not like its uncommon in canon- I could be remembering wrong but I think like. most of the Wonderlab gang was only referred to by they/them- most of them looked pretty fem- still they/them though. (At least the translation I read)

3- I'm beating you to death with hammers

#Legit its not that hard #Literally its in every dialogue thing regarding them #The game has NEVER used he/him #sorry for going on a warpath but like. the game has been out long enough for you guys to grow a brain #Just use the correct pronouns for Dante and I don't have to beat you with hammers #Its that simple #limbus company #lcb #dante lcb #People already seem to like my Limbus posts so this is a decent enough reason to use my platform for it ig

its so frustrating how people will act like using TMA/TME language is just defining people by their assigned gender at birth. literally thats only true for TMA people, and we’re never the ones trying to fight this terminology. TME does not mean the same thing as afab, because theres a lot of amab people that are transmisogyny exempt! its literally just language used to help understand and explain trans women’s oppression. if you take issue with me talking about the unique bigotry i face as a transfeminine woman, i’m not interested in being in the same community as you.

Friendly reminder to ship whatever you want without giving a shit about what anyone else says.

"They're family!" yeah, I sure hope they are.

"They have a toxic relationship!" I make it even worse in my head.

"This ship doesn't make sense!" I'll gladly keep shipping them even if they have never met each other.

Why did you feel the need to put a fucking WARNING for reader being “chubby”? Love your fics so this was disappointing.

i get where youre coming from but i use warning very very loosely. if you look on any of my fics, a lot of things dont need a "warning", its more of just telling people things that are in the fanfic. also, some people might not to read about a chubby reader that mentions insecurities bc it could be triggering for them. if it isnt for you thats great but the warnings are for everyone, if i make any specific description of readers body (or even personality!), it gets put in the warnings

#im not trying to be patronizing here but not everyone is bothered by the same things #if someone has the potential to be upset reading something in my fic #i wanna put it in the warnings #its that simple #answered #anonymous

I saw a post on twitter saying there would be a translation note here explaining that goku thought bread, and therefore, because of the absence of an explanation from the translators, goku really did forget pan. Someone correct me if im wrong, but i havent seen a translator note in awhile. I dont recall there being one during the whole "kiss debacle" either.

But if thats not evidence enough, Goku's embarassment should be.

Hes not embarassed that he "forgot" her. He didnt. Hes embarassed he didnt immediately think of her first. Its the "eh? AHH!" as in OH THAT PAN. Hes never struggled with his family's names, he wouldnt forget pans existence. His SONS ARE RIGHT THERE. To me, its clear he thought bread and thats why he's so confused. And then embarassed by that fact.

Goku doesnt ask "Who's that?" Or "Who's pan?" He just repeats the word. Because why would piccolo and gohan would be going to pick up bread. When I saw this panel first circling, I figured something was up. Because it didnt seem to match. Something was off. Translators make mistakes. It happens. But if you really look at this, Goku confusing pan and bread makes the MOST sense and matches his reaction as well.

Not to mention its set up as a joke. Not a joke that he FORGOT pan but that everyone else thinks he did. But he didnt. Thats the joke. Because while everyone else knew what piccolo meant, Goku didnt. Remember, he takes things literally. Its not an insult to pan either for him to think of the food first. Because of context. If piccolo stated they were picking pan up from school, then Goku would have been given the context HE NEEDED to come to the same conclusion as everyone else. And that is VERY Goku. He needs specifics. Goku not understanding things in the same way as everybody else around him is a common occurance in the series.

And maybe I am wrong. Maybe the intention is for goku to have forgotten pan, but fuck that because we all know he would never.

I mean if you don't want your characters read as gay for each other, maybe don't have them TrueLovesKiss to conclude your plotline.

I thought Sakura haters are bad Hinata haters are down right creepy and obnoxious you know it's sad if you cannot validate anything of not wanting to like the characters and trying to get me to explain my side without any backup evidence on your side you are not worth it and do it in a creepy way... I try to give people the benefit of the doubt IF they want to explain but to the point of saying more about yourself in a creepy way than what I'm trying to point out how disgusting are you when it comes to fictional characters I cannot and don't want to imagine how you are with real people
