#like my dude it’s about animation??

[ifeelfreewithoutmyshoes]

I am once again baffled by peoples bad takes online

#just read someone say you have to watch the entire thing of smt or you can’t say if you liked it or not #‘you can’t just read 5 chapters of a book and then decide you don’t like the entire book’ #uhhm yes I fucking can??? #I’ve dropped a book at 100 pages out of 300 bc to even get that far I had to force myself to read it #so obviously I didn’t like it #and I know my taste well enough that the blurb or a trailer can tell me I won’t enjoy it #I’ve never watched a single episode of food wars but I’ve seen the food reactions they have and I know I would hate watching that #same dude was like ‘also you’re a clown if a bad art style in anime makes you not watch it’ #like my dude it’s about animation?? #I’m not turning down a show 100 p because of artsyle or animation but it does play quite a big factor #and yes if maybe if I continue and finish the last 40 episodes after having seen 15 I might fall I bc love #but if it takes that long for me to be invested I still don’t think it’s a good show #maybe there’s a small chance I’ll like this movie in a genre I normally find super boring #but I’d rather spend my time on smt we’re the odds are higher #I really enjoyed part of the sandman’s but the overall pacing wasn’t my taste and bc of that as a whole I don’t love it #so on that note I don’t think I’ll be watching op anime after finishing the live action #simply bc I know I won’t finish it and I don’t like animes that are that long #someone said oh you don’t have to finish it just watch what you enjoy okay but also I wanna know the end??? #like I wanna know how the story ends but I don’t wanna spend 1000 episodes on it?? no thank you #me

The thing about being so deep in Trigun is that every once in a while I get way too used to Wolfwood's Punisher to the point that it seems normal and I don't question it, like

Not only is that sentence fucking ridiculous and possibly lewd, it gets worse! Because he's a priest, with a giant, 300lb cross-shaped machine gun, filled with other, smaller guns, and even worse weapons including bombs and/or fucking lasers. And it's called the Punisher

And I don't even question it anymore

#Trigun #I remember before I knew shit about Trigun I just rolled my eyes #And thought 'Oh it's just anime' #AND THEN I LEARNED THAT THIS DUDE IS PRETTY MUCH PETER/JUDAS #AND IT WAS PROBABLY ON PURPOSE LIKE ??????????? #WHAT IS THIS STORY!!!!!!!!!!!! #I LOVE IT BUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thinking about Lestat seeing Louis’s eating patterns as a waste of his gift/himself while Armand gives Louis food that he literally can not enjoy or digest just so he has something on his stomach

#if i had to give each of louis relationship a theme loustat would be shame and loumand would be enabling #which are both really bad ways of “helping” a partner with an ed #lestats shame and anger tactics only make louis more resentful and less likely to eat #while armand having the little drinks and exotic animals and the human food dont actually deal with louis problem head on- #cus at the end of the day louis is still not eating enough #and i think they really exemplifies both of their trauma and abandonment issues #both of them came up chronically food insecure #lestat was put into the role of provider at a very early age and stayed in that role until he died/was turned #so for him rejecting what lestat gives is like rejecting lestat cus he doesnt have anything else to make him “useful” #and lestats reaction to rejection is anger and control so he tries to shame and control louis into eating more/human #while armand has been abandoned by literally everyone he loves up till this point so for him its like #ok i can make people dtay if i give them what they want and what louis wants is to not feel bad about eating and so armand does that #but it still doesnt get to the root of the issue which is louis having poor coping mechanisms for his grief and other emotions #like either way you slice it. louis is not meeting his nutritional needs. he eats drinks from one guy eats a fox or some other small animal #when he should be having like two dudes at least #and then he has human food which according to anne rice makes vampires vomit up their whole stomach content so... #louis imma send you to my therapist shes great #interview with the vampire #iwtv #louis de pointe du lac #amc iwtv #lestat de lioncourt #ldpdl #iwtv 2022 #armand iwtv #armand #loumand #loustat #like armand gives louis food he cant eat just so he knows theres something in louis stomach even for a short while

PENIS PENIS PENIS PENIS PENIS

PUSSY.

BIG FLAPPY WET JESUS PUSSY.

JESUS' SOPPING WET PUSS-PUSS

[Edited months after posting to discourage catholics from replying to this post after finding that both the nice and much funnier not-nice responses to this were equally bad for my mental health. I didn't wanna delete it bc I was quite proud of some of my responses and it helps to have a visual reminder of why I left an abusive organization. Also, this means that any catholic who has reblogged this in an attempt to convert me, has now reblogged a post that, if clicked, links back to this. Use MY post for propaganda, will you!]

Thinking about how it was never made clear to me in Catholic school exactly WHY Jesus died for our sins. I just remembered that I was literally never clear on who the dying helped??

I've heard theories as an adult, but basically what I'm saying is pointless martyrdom seems a little pointless, and also with enough propaganda the big logical gaps in a belief system get really hard to see. Especially if questioning anything is blasphemy.

I would have gotten in so much trouble for insisting the teacher explain how Jesus helped us by being tortured to death by Romans even when God could have prevented it! God sent his only Son, they would have said! Be grateful, they'd say! Be guilty! Stop asking why he did that!!!

#original #religious trauma #<- what's up guys why did he do that??? for real i was raised catholic and it is FUCKING UNCLEAR but also the basis of a huge chunk of #my childhood?? like WHY though? my friend madeleine said it was related to animal sacrifices with the lamb of god stuff and all #this was NEVER mentioned in my school. i thought he was the lamb bc he followed god but maybe not #no wonder my impulse as a person is to constantly sacrifice myself unnecessarily #i think martyrdom is a bad gift. but i guess torture your son to death or whatever dude. but it's weird to do that and say it was for me #like...... thanks?? you're literally omnipotent but this is like the worst possible version of a cat leaving a dead mouse on my bed #Christianity #thank goodness i was too much of a fag to stay. i was so unhappy there. #the good place actually addresses a lot of my issues with Christianity as a whole while also not being all about Christianity #like what does it mean to condemn a person capable of change to eternal hell?M #*hell?? #the good place #god pays the devil's rent y'all. like in that post that made my long beautiful essay about this irrelevant by #summing it up with 'girl they are in cahoots.' i think about that post all the fukn time nothing i can write longform is as punchy as that

A while ago I saw some posts mentioning some possible animals for Hobie to use as his fursona, and I wanted to join the fun and make my own suggestions! Cause I have two animals I feel would fit him very well:

Number 1. Maned Wolf:

Look at those long ass legs and tell me they don't give off Hobie vibes lol

(but fr they also look super majestic and I love how beautiful their colours are too! <3)

They even have a small mane too! Which also leads me to the other animal I'd like to suggest:

Number 2. Striped Hyena:

This might be one of the most punk looking animals out there! (and just like punks, hyenas have also gotten a lot of (unjust) bad rep in the media through time)

I mean come on, they even have a mohawk!

#see what I mean?!! <3 #do you get my vision?? #I just remembered these animals exist and I immediately thought of Hobie lol #both species look super cool and unique! I feel like they'd both be a good fit for him <3 #oh and apparently the maned wolf isn't even a wolf lol. so there's a theme about labels there as well #also look at this lanky dude in the first pics lol #I love him so much #I know I'm kinda late to the party but I'd kinda forgotten about it again until I noticed I had a tab about maned wolfs open lol #also you can click on the photos to get a better look at them if you want <3 #hobie brown #spider punk #fursona #across the spider verse #atsv #spiderman atsv #across the spiderverse #my post #maned wolf #striped hyena

Every once in a while I think about the "hidden favorites" people enjoy. People hear you screaming and hollering about some things and know you love them, but there are others you -- for whatever reason -- don't end up talking about much. They're beloved, they're just hidden lore about yourself.

I love learning the less obvious favorites friends have, all the other stories and hobbies and joys that expand their life. Here's to all favorites we have, especially the ones that manifest quietly.

#blabbing Haddock #sometimes my brain is struck #like the meme of the dude partying in the corner #'they don't know I make balloon animals' #or whatever pops into mind #I know some people are a foghorn about every interest #but I think others #wander around in different contexts so some facets end up being more obscure

he's so important to me

If magic in your Animal AU is strong connected to emotions then are Mario and Luigi’s magic the strongest when they are together/when they are thinking about each other? 🥹😫

Yeah! You get it!

Mario and Luigi don't have any inherent magical abilities like King Bowser or Princess Peach do, but they prove a force to be reckoned with when wielding the magic of powerups, especially if they're fighting side by side.

If they have to fight alone, Mario is the more skilled at using powerups due to his unflinching confidence. Luigi is capable... more capable than the average animal, in fact, but not quite as adept as his brother.

#but Luigi makes up for this with a certain other talent he doesn’t quite know about yet… #spoilers: it has to do with ghosts #my art #doodles #Mario Animal AU #Before anyone asks there's no firebrand or thunderhand in this AU #or if there is it's more of a momentary gift instead of a permanent power #Didn't feel like it fit #I like it better when they have to rely on wits and the limited tools at their disposal #really lean in on the underdog angle #they really are just two dudes in over their heads

[son1c]

I just. I love Fibula and Femur because they fit the "you came back different" shtick so well. Not wrong, but different. Femur recognizes that Fibula is very different from the brother she remembers, and she both loves it for him and hates how his past still seems to be weighing him down. She loves that he's finally getting to cast aside the burdens the world placed on him and do what he wants for once, even if it makes him seem very far from the quiet brother she once knew. But she also hates how he's being manipulated by Eggman, how his gratitude for being brought back to life is being twisted against him in a similar way to how his good and helpful nature was twisted against him before he died. She just wants to see him happy, no matter how much he's changed.

(Thank you for giving me brainrot over your blorbos, because I always need more loved ones dealing with one of them getting brought back to life plots.)

LITERALLY LITERALLY!!! she JUST wants him to be HAPPY!!!!!

#anonymous #but her morals... and her 40 years of Wisdom... #she can SEE what eggman is doing to him and she wants it to STOP #like honestly if he wants to cause problems for fun whatever. but doing it in service to an evil mastermind? #HOW IS THAT ANY DIFFERENT FROM WORKING AT OLIVE GARDENNN #my guy is caught in a DEADLY cycle and she is about to become that one anime meme. the #''i'm a doctor but...'' meme where the dude pulls out a gun #*SHAKES YOU* THEY'RE IN MY BRAIN!!! THEY'RE IN YOUR BRAIN!!!! AUGHHHH

Beefleaf isn't canon. Mxtx has said she doesn't like to write another gay ship different from the main (she struggled with svsss)

I have heard about this! The content I saw was just so insistent about Beefleaf that I wondered if maybe I was misremembering and the "no same-gender side couples" thing applied to MDZS only. (I have gotten similar vibes from Moshang and from whatever Yue QIngyuan and Shen Jiu's ship name is, but I've now obtained Vol. 1 of SVSSS and plan to read it, so if those two aren't actually canon, don't tell me! It can be a surprise!)

The "no side couples"--or, in MDZS's case, "no queer characters AT ALL besides the protag, his love interest, and the disgraced goth weirdo who annihilates himself to resurrect the protag"--thing confuses me, because... I guess I don't get the point of it? I totally understand not having the bandwidth to develop more than one couple. The challenge of adequately building up other relationships fully independent of your main couple without detracting from the exploits of your protagonist and his love interest could be daunting, as would expanding the story's focus and juggling multiple equally-prominent lead characters for an effective ensemble piece. But here it seems like people picked up a vibe between the characters from what was already there in the text and then MXTX was like, "oh, no, they're not a couple! there's just the one couple!" and THAT I don't get. If she's disinterested in writing women, but has a cast of attractive men who are all obsessed with each other, why not toss a romance in there between some of the guys? Again, you can keep it entirely as-is and just toss a kiss in there or confirm in interviews that yes, they were in love, and you're so happy readers picked up on that even though you didn't get to tell their full story on the page.

I am extrapolating based on the Xiyao situation specifically, so maybe this doesn't apply to her other works! But it is a choice that confuses me. A couple doesn't have to be that developed; Xuanli certainly aren't, but their existence is a major plot point. I should think that the presence of other m/m couples would bolster the main couple, if anything, because it sets a precedent for them existing in their world. There are situations where adding an expressly romantic element would change something fundamental about the relationship, but there are just as many where the addition of a romantic element changes nothing or makes it make more sense (case in point: Xue Yang's freakout after killing Xiao Xingchen).

Like I said, I get not wanting to devote energy to it, and I also get that sometimes a work or performance is received by the audience in ways the artist didn't intend (this is the Destiel website, after all), but to make it a conscious choice to have One M/M Couple Only? Based on what I currently know, this perplexes me.

#there are plenty of works that have a bajillion guys and only like two women but do NOT intend anything romantic between the guys #but these are things like shounen anime (or fuckin SPN lol) that are written for straight male audiences and don't prioritize romance #whereas these here are epic romances about two gay men written for predominantly female audiences #it's not like your audience is going to be like 'a romance between two DIFFERENT men in my m/m love story? outrage!' right? #anyway the 'nobody likes men except the protags' is so funny in MDZS because of Xuexiao specifically #notable danmei author MXTX I find it very unlikely that the plot you repurposed from an earlier novel project was Just Guys Being Dudes!! #unrebloggable bc this fandom gets WEIRD when ppl say anything that could even be construed as critical of craft

My favourite part of Dislyte is the one person I saw question why there are so many furries in the game.

Like… do you know that most of the gods… most of the gods are Egyptian (gods commonly had animal heads), or Chinese (gods and figures commonly were animals or plants), or Greek (gods commonly turned into animals)

What did you expect? You thought Sobek, the Egyptian Crocodile God, wasn’t going to be a crocodile?

Honestly, I think the creators showed great restraint, all things considered

#the inane ramblings of a madman #dislyte #this is a lie i love the characters the most #love learning new mythologies and this game has a lot of names to look up and into #but all the same #what did you expect dude?? #it isn’t the creators’ faults that ancient gods were animals #my guy have you even seen medjed?? #the creators are spot on accurate with some of these designs #aside from that #the game has so many humans #if you don’t like the furries just don’t use them? #the floofy tiger man is great what’s to complain about? #he’s fluffy AND a tiger #some people just don’t accept good character designs #i don’t know much about norse mythology so i didn’t bring it up #even though a large portion of gods are norse
