as a woman who grew up with an emotionally abusive mother constantly telling me I needed to wear more makeup/more revealing clothing/date (boys) more/go out to "normal" parties more, I despise "she should be at the club"
god forbid some people- especially young women, who already have to deal with a thousand different behavioral standards from a thousand different directions -not have the same dreams and desires for their lives as you do for yours
fucking hell. the correct response to "women should stay at home and have kids and be submissive wives" prescriptivism was not MORE PRESCRIPTIVISM
(I also just saw a poll asking if people partied as teenagers, and OP responded that the answers were "killing them" because No was winning. like? why is everyone so personally invested in other people having a very specific kind of fun?)
Fit: Yeah, they're all great, you'll like them a lot, you're in good hands.

Pac: Yeah! Maybe one day it's going to happen, you know? I need to search for a hat just like Empanada's.
Fit: W- wh- wait, Just like in wait a minute, wait a minute. You want to switch places with Empanada? Is that what you mean?
Pac: Yes!!! She had the best mothers of all time! Like, imagine how she's going to be treated, like, she's going to be a princess! The princess of all princess!

People are uncomfortable with fan content where bad characters are humanized and shown to have thoughts and feelings that don't involve hurting someone because those people are fundamentally unwilling to acknowledge that bad people are still people. To humanize someone "evil", instead of seeing them as just a mindless monster that's only capable of cruelty, would mean having to acknowledge that all people have the potential to do horrific things, including their loved ones and themselves. In this essay I will—
Re-donned the Doctor Orpheus cosplay and cooked up some of his famous pizza rolls to bid a fond farewell and a good night to the princes of Venture as I watched Radiant is the Blood of the Baboon Heart this evening. As a (relatively) recent convert to the show I thoroughly enjoyed the hilarious and fun farewell to such an idiosyncratic and creative series!
Some new art of a very very old oc of mine! From like, when I was an 8th grader in middle school to freshman in high school I think, I haven’t thought about this character or the world she’s from in like… years, but my brain suddenly remembered she existed! And so I drew some art of her!
Visually, she’s absolutely mostly the result of my child self sticking Toko Fukawa from Danganronpa and Peacock from Skullgirls in a blender and lettin it fuckin rip. Personality wise she’s a bit different tho… she’s into politics! As in,,, she’s in politics ghgh, she’s like the chief of the surveillance department for the country of (mostly) witches that the story takes place in. And one of the advisors to the head ruler witch,,, she sucks! Hardcore! she’s def a villain lol
