#mad props to her

[zhongrin]

can i just say it's just so endearing to hear my mom (cn zodiac: rat) describing my dad's (cn zodiac: dragon) emotions metaphorically like he's an actual dragon (and vice versa)

my mom: *sends photo* i bought this dragon statue for your dad's birthday but i don't know what the cn letters means me: *uses google lens to pick up the characters and throws it into deepl* it means "auspicious dragon" my mom: your dad's happy and his tail's wagging now 😂

---

my dad: i bought three ice creams yesterday and there's only two today. my dad: clearly, there's a rat in this house. my mom: i see that you're complaining to our daughter again.

#rin rambles #couple goals fr #whenever she wants to illustrate my dad's mad (in a joking way) she'd say ''your dad's whiskers are coming out'' and if that isn't- #-the fucking cutest and most hilarious description idk what is #her actual words is: ''papamu metu sungut e lho'' hauhflajsld (if you understood that. props lol)

"Arya wouldn't have been able to survive in KL" is really one of the dumbest fanon takes where you can tell someone only believes it because they like the idea of Arya and Sansa being "exact opposites and perfect complements" (even though it goes against the books). Actual evidence from the books to back it up? Never anywhere to be found despite how confidently people make this claim.

And not only does it severely mischaracterize Arya and ignore what she's been through, it also ignores her importance as a political hostage. The Lannisters weren't searching for her, and lying about having her, for no reason. They needed her because having only one Stark after executing Ned put them in a poor position to negotiate. So Arya would have been more than capable of handling herself (thoroughly shown in her Harrenhal chapters) and the Lannisters would've done everything in their power to keep her alive but, somehow, she wouldn't have been able to survive? It's truly one of those takes that falls apart if you think about it for more than two seconds but apparently, that's too much effort for some people.

#arya stark #asoiaf #as song of ice and fire #anti sansa stans #cause they're the main culprits #the story comes secondary to putting Arya down to prop Sansa up for some people though #it's just one of the dumbest and easily disprovable takes in this fandom #I don't even get mad when I see it cause I know it's not based on anything in the story and it's just fanon misinterpretations #and then they try to be neutral and say that Sansa wouldn't have been able to survive what Arya did but they NEVER point out Arya's #skills + intelligence or talk about what Sansa lacks in comparison or why she wouldn't have been able to survive #a majority of the time it's just /Sansa wouldn't have been able to pass as a boy/ cause they hate complimenting Arya #I'm supposed to buy Sansa as the smartest character in the books but there's nothing in her chapters that her own stans can use to prove it #they have to rely on dropping the intelligence and skills of other characters to make room for her and we're just supposed to ignore that #/Arya wouldn't have been able to survive/ instead of pointing out Sansa's actual skills okay okay got it #personally I'm going to use quotes from my faves chapters to prove their intelligence but I guess that's only if it's actually there...

So my dad got me this coaster. It’s a fucking delight, and it has never once failed to get a laugh out of guests. Including a friends five year old who saw it and burst out laughing.

All the adults in the room laughed too. Nervously. She said, “What a funny cat face!” And we all sighed out. But her mom is an honest and straightforward lady. So when the girl asked, “What does it say?” She didn’t lie or prevaricate.

She read it aloud. The child digested the words and then started laughing uproariously. “Lesbians eat what?!” she crowed. We all looked at her mom who shrugged and we tried to move past the moment. But like many children she had her hooks in the joke and repeated it for several minutes. She was riding the endorphin high of our initial laugh and was determined to wring it for all it was worth.

Finally her mom said, “Okay. So this means something different than you think. I’m going to explain this joke to you so that you understand why we think it’s funny, but to you it can just be a funny cat.”

And then we all sat there through a moment of A+ deeply uncomfortable parenting as she started will adults having intimate relations, oral sex, euphemisms, and sexual orientation.

#my life #ramblies #shit kids say #later my novelty dicksword came up because my house it not safe for children #but her mom didn’t flinch or lie and honestly it was absolute mad props to her but goddamn

a little write-up about Hisami Yomotsu

Hisami's theme is so good and interesting it has me wanting to write something about her.

I am absolutely certain the broader fandom has already oversimplified her to hell and back — pun intended — as "the horny masochist". And to be clear, she absolutely is a horny masochist, but not just that. Do bear in mind I haven't actually researched the character in depth, I'm just organizing my thoughts.

For one, her theme. Go ahead, listen to it, the piano is beautiful. I think it is very elegant, emotional, and honestly? almost romantic. This clashes with what one may assume based the combination of her role and her looks.

Her role is to drag damned souls to Hell, and her ability is to not let anyone escape her grasp, so if you're her target you're kinda fucked. Additionally, she is said to lure people in using her beauty and sweet words. It's worth noting that the creature she is based on is, paradoxically, described as ugly and repulsive.

Fittingly, she is rather conventionally attractive, and I would personally say she is very pretty. The most interesting part of her design to me is her veil. It's very reminiscent of a widow's veil, but purple and made of flower petals, which is a lot more flamboyant. It immediately adds an aura of mystery for most of her face to be concealed in this way. It also ties in to the general floral theme of her design, which I really enjoy.

From this you would expect her to act like a femme fatale or a black widow (lines up with her black hand- and footwear), enticing people with charm and sweet talk, only to turn brutal and cold once their guard is down.

But she is said to be rather amicable (as long as Zanmu isn't in the picture), and actually keeps the promises she makes to those she drags to Hell (such as sharing her reward), and in any case, she isn't really two-faced. But she is kinda creepy and eerie nonetheless.

I think this is another instance of classic ZUN moe, which is being weird and creepy in a very heartfelt and almost innocent way (cf my popular post about Reisen).

This is of course complemented by her, uh, notorious relationship with Zanmu, literally panting when thinking about Zanmu getting mad at her. She is very clearly infatuated with her, to the point of stalkery obsessiveness.

With that in mind, the gracefulness, elegance and borderline romanticism of her theme paints a very interesting character, lending her eeriness an aura of tragic beauty, that perhaps interfaces with her obsessive love... Or maybe she is really just a horny masochist, teehee.

In any case, I was planning on just saying her theme was cool or whatever but I've grown really fond of her as I wrote this. Hopefully you appreciate her a bit more after reading this.

#touhou #touhou project #writing #fanfiction #hisami yomotsu #onion's ramblings #unfinished dream of all living ghost #touhou 19 #zanmu nippaku #image id in alt text #i'd also be remiss not to mention she is probably the most sexualized touhou character so far #despite how weird the fandom is touhou barely sexualizes its characters (if at all) #which is something i really respect #“japanese game with an an all-female cast who often look like little girls” justifiably raises a lot of red flags #and i find myself (maybe unnecessarily) taking precautions when introducing people to touhou #but mad props to zun for being zun #(the fandom takes care of the 'being weird' part for him though) #in a cast of a 100+ characters it's very nice to have characters like her in moderation

[dennisboobs]

ok at the point now where looking at an image of dennis makes me want to smash my head through a wall

#ada speaks #idk how ppl exist in this fandom who don't feel bad for him tbh #which is the last thing den wants bc being perceived as weak and pitiable is devastating to him but #chasing this mfer down to give him a hug #he is so. fucked up. he has been fucked up by every adult in his life. #i think the fandom perceives him as this spoiled rich kid who had it better than most of the gang but the reality is #he was failed just like the rest of them and it's almost worse because he doesn't – and almost CAN'T – recognize this #letting the protective ego-boosting and boasting drop leads to him having to confront SO much baggage and i don't think he is mentally able #i think he DOES know deep down that everything is a lie and he has been hurt because we see that self awareness in ptsdee and tends bar #but his relationship with everyone in the gang is so strained that i don't think he would be able to have a moment like charlie did in s15 #even in tends bar there's a moment where they all recognize something is going on with him but immediately place him at the center #because he's the problem with him. anything done to him is his fault. it's not only something he reinforces. the gang does too #this must be because *dennis* has no feelings and he hates valentines day because everyone else is unlike him which makes *him* mad #the entire gang has an issue placing blame on themselves but to not even be able to conceive of dennis being hurt by them is. telling #because he's inhuman to them. it's how he's propped himself up and yet simultaneously hopes that they will see through that act #the way he reworks things in his mind so that everything is a consequence of his grand plan #means that he is always at fault regardless of whether he brushes the blame off #so he is not a *victim* of anyone else. because this was all under his control. he wasn't raped because he was initiating it. #klinsky was His Conquest. he was fourteen and she was in her fifties but he forced himself on her so that makes it His Fault. #it was a two way road. he's fourteen. and he 'entered' her. he's fourteen. but she was uncomfortable with his advances. but he was fourteen #cw csa mention

I wish there were more ganon fans that just didn't make him into a misunderstood little meow meow and made him into a complex leader who can be right about his reasons but still have red flags and be selfish

I'm glad people have fun with him, especially given the flurry of attention he received recently, and I'm glad there's a wide breadth of content to enjoy. I do prefer that version you're describing here as well though! I call this reading of the character "Morally Dark Gray Ganondorf"; the kind that definitively has a point, whose whole psyche makes a twisted kind of internal sense that one may absolutely find compelling, awe-inspiring and/or devastating, but who is also unforgivable the second you step outside of his own selfish "me against the world" conception of reality --while also understanding why he can't conceive of anyone as anything but pawns in a much larger game of chess played against gods who kind of demand to be opposed in absolutes. Still: all of this is cool and swell, but, also, do you know how many war crimes you're doubling down on just because you refuse to be owned??? Too many!! The answer is: too many!!

#asks #thoughts #ganondorf #thank you for the ask!! #I mean to be fully transparent I have Things that chronically irk me in some of his sub-flavors of blorboification #I do like some thoughtful zelgan occasionally but there is a subgenre that is just... so objectifying and orientalist and I Can't #when he's used as some sort of prop for Privileged Girlie Fantasy wanting to ruffle her feathers with a Dangerous Exotic prospect I just... #like it's not a bad setup if it's then deconstructed in some way but it never is it's just 100% played straight #instead of being like #an actually really compelling reason to revolt against hylian perception of gerudo culture and the role gerudos serve in that society #(aka being dangerous and enticing but also in great need of being assimilated into “normalcy” as they are consumed) #(ganon being kind of the Opposite of that mindset it pains me to see him flattened in that way like the rest of his people tend to be) #anything that rubs him off his viciousness either through Sexyfication and/or Himboification #or making him Possessed by Demise so that means he's secretly Good and Baby #is not for me :( #let him be mad!!! #let him be such a contrarian he will break everything he cares about as well as himself with his own bare hands just because fuck you!!!

Sleepy Hollow creators, y’all will never know peace and I’m so serious!

That’s my supervillain origin story okay

#They did Abbie & Ichabod so dirty. #They did Abbie/Nicole Beharie straight FILTHY. #This show’s first 2-3 seasons were some of the best in television EVER. #Fantasy. Historical Fiction. Horror. Mythology. It had EVERYTHING. #It had Orlando Jones. Clancy Brown. John Noble. *screams*😫 #Fyck yeah #I'm forever bitter about what they did to her. #I will also jump in and give props. When she gives that “double blink” whew!! It’s time she gets the lives #and paychecks #she deserves #i could write an essay oh how dirty they did her character on sleepy hollow. #That’s how pissed I am #I’ll never forgive sleepy hollow for what they did to her character #I’m still mad about it #Always remember #never forgive. #Forever on sight for them. #I’m still mad they fucked that show up so hard. #They had two leads with amazing chemistry so they…separated them? What? #That's why i celebrate Sleepy Hollow cancellation date every fucking year #it’s what they deserve

I love the fake "Jeyne Poole defense squad". They're so brave for fighting the mean, nasty Arya stans who call her "fake Arya" cause don't you know she has a name 😡. (So what if that's the only time they ever discuss Jeyne?)

I mean, nevermind that George refers to her as such:

I was trying to set up Jeyne for her future role as the false Arya. The real Arya has escaped and is presumed dead. But this girl has been in Littlefinger’s control for years, and he’s been training her. She knows Winterfell, has the proper northern accent, and can pose as Arya.

And that the only time she gets referred to as "Fake/False Arya" is when people are discussing the impact of Jeyne using Arya's name to marry Ramsey + help solidify the Bolton's claim. You know, the entire point of her being passed of as Arya Stark in the first place. It's not people making Jeyne's suffering about Arya or whatever nonsense people want to claim. The fake moral outrage from people who barely discuss Jeyne's character just to have an excuse to bash Arya stans is truly hilarious.

#arya stark #pro arya stark #asoiaf #anti sansa stans #When your sub-fandom has such a bad reputation that you have to invent things to get mad at and make other stans look bad 😂 #Getting mad that Jeyne gets referred to as fake Arya is really scrapping the bottom of the barrel #and it's really just another way of putting Arya down and justifying not talking about her #/Arya stans are so mean/ and the only time they discuss Arya is to make her a prop for other characters

my mom died a year ago

#grief #technically I’m about 4 hours early from the exact tod but yeah #i was probably up til 3:30 or so that night #I could double check bc i wrote a journal entry that night when i couldn’t fall asleep #it’s been 365 really busy days but shit right now it feels like no time has passed at all #but shoutout to palliative care nurses everywhere #and mad props to the oncologists doing bonkers scifi treatments and trials #keep up the good work #mom’s final cancer was a hell of an eldrich beast but medicine keeps developing #and bringing on night nurses for those last three nights of hospice was such a help and a comfort I don’t think I have words for #someone asked me earlier in the afternoon if i was through it having been a year and all #and i straight up said No I Am Still In The Thick Of It #my cousin (who lost her dad/my uncle 8ish years prior) said at the funeral reception “it doesn’t get better” #and she was right #it doesn’t get any better at all #you just get used to it #the lack of that person becomes familiar #even though your connection to them still feels active #like a phantom limb #it still feels horribly horrendously wrong that she’s gone #the world is certainly poorer in her absence #if I could offer any advice for anyone it would be to talk to your loved one(s) about this all ahead of time #don’t wait til they get sick don’t wait til they get old or whatever #start talking through it now #(certainly legally but also logistically) #unfortunately it’s a certainty that you will lose the person most important to you #or they will lose you #so don’t hide from it or put it off. it’s part of any relationship. it’s there and no one can escape it. #but yeah #right now this hurts

Most Goodreads reviews read like amateur writers auditioning for the try hard Olympics, but I just read the only good example in an absolute tear down review of RF Kuang’s Yellowface lmaooo

#I have not read anything by her but I know her by reputation #and she strikes me as an absolute internet poisoned weirdo #who basically made up a guy to get mad at and wrote an entire book tearing that person down and went #see? just like the real publishing industry #anyway props to idiomatic’s 2 star review

In the new episode, Luz dons an outfit that reminds me of Phillip, wears a ponytail like Phillip, says “Crikey”, and then at the end is taken to Belos.. I think I’m gonna go insane waiting for the next episode and season 3.
