Do you know this Jewish character?

#jumblr #jewish characters #hal jordan #green lantern #dc comics #chanukah mention #other in media confirmation #he specifically talks about interfaith upbringing with his mom being Jewish and his dad Catholic #there’s also apparently a Chanukah special where the energy in his ring is running out #but it manages to last for eight days which is hilarious honestly #I’m back! there are a couple more submissions in my inbox that I’ll be getting to shortly

she/her they/them cool hat but it’s all the same character

#Side order #Splatoon #Splatoon meme #Acht #Acht Splatoon #Acht is exclusively referred to by they/them in Side Order and related material but is referred to by she/her in Splatoon 2 media #one of said media was released after Side Order’s announcements #I suppose it’s up to interpretation if Acht transitioned between the events of Octo Expansion and Side Order #or it could be that Acht goes by she/they #I hope someday Nintendo gives confirmation on if Acht is nonbinary or is a demigirl or other similar gender #I have lots of friends who go by she/they so I’d love she/they demigirl rep but ofc it’s great for they/them characters to exist! #I just thought this meme fit Acht #she her they them cool hat

What’s your favorite bit of lore? Or favorite holiday/festival in genshin they’re pretty neat

i'm absolutely biased towards lantern rite tbh

as for bit of lore, i'm not really sure. i feel like 'bit of lore' is really weird to define, bc ultimately most lore is all connected into bigger pictures. obviously i'm partial towards liyue lore in general, but as for a specific little bit...

probably still the possibility that zhongli is partial to archery.

#thank you <3 <3 #i know his passive talent is for crafting spears but like #the only reason why that talent is for spears specifically is bc he is a polearm user. nowhere in the talent itself nor other related media #do we get a mention of zhongli being particularly good at crafting polearms over other weapon types #we know he made the pwjs and the jade cutter. he didn't make jadefall but he did wield it. he also made summit shaper #we can assume he made vortex vanquisher n the unforged but there's no real confirmation on either. we do know he didn't make memory of dust #assuming he did make those last two that's still an equal number of polearms and swords he made. more swords if you wanna count the unforge #ofc he could've made countless op polearms off-camera. but we're never told that #dainsleif's factoid abt the talent is more about zhongli knowing his rocks than zhongli being a good polearm maker in specific #and the skill's name in chinese is more about astrology and divination than anything else. again more on zhongli knows his rocks #so like- we don't know that he had a mastery over crafting polearms in specific #and we know he wielded catalysts and polearms and likely swords as well #and still #the only real imagery on his design on what weapon he uses #is a fucking archery ring. nowhere is it mentioned that zhongli uses bows (that we know of) #yet he wears that thing on the daily. like he still uses it. like he needs to literally keep it on hand. why #why would he do that if he apparently does not historically use bows. #only thing i can think of is that he still practices archery. over any other weapon type. which is a hilarious thought tbh #but more crack theory than anything

i was wondering why people were making it out to be such a huge thing that alastor is aroace canonically....and then i tried to think of literally any other character i've seen that's canonically aro or ace....yeah i'm coming up empty 😍

#rave ramblees #hazbin hotel #i feel like a few warrior cats characters had the makings to be aroace and then got fucked over by the plot #iirc bluestar wasn't interested in romance? and then....oakheart 😩 #I know Sunny wof is ace in popular *fanon* #OH WAIT PERIDOT #who was....only confirmed aroace in second level canon #by a storyboarder....yeah #apparently lilith toh was confirmed outside of canon by the creator as aro? it wasn't really touched on in the show tho- #there's saiki k who isn't confirmed in any way #but it's so heavily implied in canon i'm just gonna take what i can get >:) #so...yeah it's literally Alastor sitting on the throne for aroace rep in canon #AND he's a tumblr sexyman #and we love him for that #suddenly seeing why this is kinda a big deal to people now #and why they're defending it so hard #because there is NOTHING ELSE in other media apparently #outside of headcanons that is-

people on this website: we want stories about the jedi as main characters! no you can't have other characters oppose the Jedi because that would be bad! no you can't have a jedi character have a crisis of faith because that would be bad too. no you can't have different jedi with conflicting or mixed feelings about the culture that raised them because, guess what! no you can't have any evolution or change over time! no you can't have jedi fail at anything because-

like, what is even left for a story to be about. especially if you aren't satisfied with Young Jedi Adventures and do actually want something aimed at people old enough to read independently. you do need a compelling conflict for your characters in an adventure story. it can be internal, it can be interpersonal, societal, whatever, but you need to challenge them!

#yes this is about the acolyte #among other things #look if you can describe any star wars media as “soft anti-jedi” unless explicitly confirmed by its writers that it isn't there's a problem

Were people mad about Marion x Sean not happening? I know it was popular during episode 1 but I feel like by episode 2 most everyone saw the writing in the walls with Marion and Jean obviously being into each other.

A refreshingly small number, honestly! It was one or two people in the main tags and maybe one or two more who said obnoxious things in the tags of my posts. I used that as an example because it was fresh in my mind and because that was genuinely such a great line in a fantastic arc in a fantastic series that closing yourself off to it is a miserable prospect.

Here is the thing about writing on the walls: there is a level of shipping where people will openly ignore it, eg: literally everyone who claims Beau and Yasha "came out of nowhere"; basically anyone who focuses extensively on microexpressions because that frequently goes hand-in-hand with ignoring Character A and Character B kissing each other in favor of how Character C blinked a millisecond too rapidly in A's direction; etc.

This also, honestly, isn't limited to shipping, though that's the most common case where I see it. I think part of why Campaign 2 hate is so bitter at times is because there are genuinely many, many people who watched all 141 episodes and who loved almost everything in 140 of them and then hated that the finale did not bring back Molly or did not have the ship they thought was "supposed" to happen appear - I was there, and people who claim Campaign 2 sucked were there too watching along throughout the whole thing; they just definitely thought the couples would all break up and rearrange in episode 141 for no apparent reason.

That's really my larger point: I think there is a certain kind of person who tells themself how a story "should" end, whether it's a particular ship or a particular story beat, and becomes furious when the story - which never made that promise - fails to deliver. Not only did Candela pretty clearly signal that Marion and Jean were into each other, it also told us inherently within the story and in literally every out of character interview that this was pretty much guaranteed to not end remotely close to any sort of happily ever after. It's funny - earlier in campaign 3 there was a lot of flack towards some fans' (of which I was one) frustration with the story on the basis of narrative/pacing, and I still see the inane "must stories have conflict" argument pop up. But those same people who get mad at those who talk about inconsistent themes or characterization or awkward pacing are, more often than not, people whose assessment of a story rests entirely on the incredibly narrow "did I get the exact ships and plot elements I wanted out of this and was my blorbo the coolest guy ever all the time," rather than the broad and inclusive "did this story capably deliver on an interesting premise."

#answered #Anonymous #anyway. media illiteracy and conspiratorial thinking are a hell of a drug. #i know this sounds wild but like. i can think of MANY cases where people whose fandom opinions I dislike also post political misinfo a lot #and it's not a case of if you ship this you're problematic; it's that they have no capacity to recognize their own confirmation bias #and thus fall for psyops that validate their pre-existing beliefs #this is one of my other wild amateur fandom anthropologist thoughts but like. i think plenty of people stop at shipping goggles #but some apply that same denial of the realities of a situation/breadcrumbs over schnitzel to the real world and. yikes.

Dick or no dick confirmation Pickles was always going to be trans to me anyways; if he's swingin' somethin that's phallo babes, if he's not then his t-dick fat. What's not to get.

#metalocalypse #jay talkin #I'm sorry they wrote that awful gross little man far too likeable and relatable to on a trans level #for me not to hoot and holler and cheer for the trans pickles agenda #changes nothing about his character arc or any of the show anyone is capable of being the kind of person he is #don't make the mistake of thinking thats exclusive to cis men #his transness wouldnt change that #only adds on an extra layer to him that i think works fantastically. #Listen that dude was rejected by his family driven to drink and drugs young to escape that ran away to be in a band #is called fucking Pickles of all things and refuses to tell anyone his real last name; #over the span of four seasons and two movies he slowly starts to learn to be for others what he never had #he becomes more caring more supportive #it's not a stretch to say he undoes some of the toxic masculinity he's been keeping himself shielded behind #and learns how to be a kinder man. #all of which have no contradictions with him being trans! #In fact it doesn't take much extra thought to find ways a lot of this can line up with some trans masculine experiences #i mean. Did no one else have a younger phase where they swung as far as they could into crass rude and uncaring ways #to try and assert their masculinity only to grow and realise that you can be a man and be more caring. #Did no one else have father issues. 1 800 come on now i know those are both shared experiences a lot of us have had LOL. #at the end of the day this show aired nearly 20 years ago and is finished. we're not getting more of it #so nothing is altered nor changed if pickles is canonically trans or not ok. its fine #i mean hell i dont even need canon confirmation hes trans to me and thats all i care abt #but i think if yr getting suuuuuper weird abt needing him not to be canonically trans you have some issues #and bio essentialist ideals of gender if you think only a cis man can act like he does #again. anyone can be like that. its not exclusive. him being trans would not change him in any way shape or form lol #AND ALSO GODDDUUUGH for once i love getting to see a guy pushing 50 whos depicted as trans #do you have any idea how dire and barren it is out here. we never get to see a trans guy older than 30 and whos not a pristine model #I WANT MORE OLD SHLUBBY SHITHEAD TRANS GUYS IN MEDIA

honest question, fellas. do y'all think johnny may have seen the shrek movies? at least the first one? i mean shrek 1 was added to the list of movies to be preserved for future generations so... and if he did see it do y'all think he feels like a donkey involuntarily following a shrek (v) or like a shrek forced to follow around a donkey (v) because they know the way to the duloc castle (mikoshi)? does johnny also at some point bring up the layers hypothesis? cause i'm pretty sure he has layers upon freaking layers to peel off like a monster onion. and would he consider alt a fiona since she's a kidnapped princess stuck in a tower (beyond blackwall)? or the dragon because she also guards the thing? would he make a "compensating for something" comment about yorinobu since he's in a big boy arasaka tower now? 🤔 anyways, i think i need to stop now

#it will never be not funny to me that he dieded this year (2023) and so he probably was exposed to all sorts of media from our youths #what's that? it's an alternate timeline? #far as I'm aware sir pondsmith neither denied nor confirmed existanse of shrek uwu speek demotivators nyan cat and other shit in cyberpunk #so uh #“what are you doing in my skull?!” #“you and what army?” johnny mere seconds before being smashed by smasher #“the ogre fell in love with the princess!” johnny about goro and hanako #“that's a nice boulder” says johnny while bored asf at the Aldecaldos's camp #and so on and ao forth #anyways #meme #shitpost #imgflip #shrek #donkey #johnny silverhand #v #female v #male v #dreamworks #cyberpunk 2077 #cp77 #cd projekt red #cdpr #what the fuck am i talking about

the thing about the queer media tournament that really gets me is that last i checked there wasn't a single mxtx work on it. like not even the untamed made it in and don't get me wrong the og mo dao zu shi books are huge but cql is def more popular among tumblr circles. idk it just really rubs me the wrong way how every single piece of western media that ppl have ever gotten a lil bit aggressive abt shipping with is there and then for east asian media there's utena and madoka magica and the handmaiden and last i checked that was pretty much it. and then for the rest of the world there's next to/nothing but idk enough to really make judgements there.

#like. really? no mo dao zu shi? no scum villain's self saving system? no heaven's official blessing? no nana? #i can think of at least 10-20 pieces of media more deserving of being in there than some of the western works that got in off the top of my #head. yuri is my job (self explanatory). fate/stay night (most of the cast is bi but esp rin bc she says it out loud + saber trans coded). #fate/extra (red saber canon bi + nameless archer. stay night lancer. kirei and issei are all there). black butler (grelle trans. also #eric and alan from one of the musicals + alois from s2 of the accursed anime + nina and possibly mey rin are all gay) #toilet bound hanako kun (kou and mitsuba went canon). the evillious chronicles (michaela. clarith and bruno are gay. bohemo possibly trans. #gallerian possibly gay). requiem of the rose king (self explanatory). project sekai (mizuki trans. minori and rui possibly gay). #cocoon entwined (literally a yuri). fucking honkai impact 3rd (lesbians but i don't play it so idk who). any uc gundam series w char and #amuro but especially char's counterattack (char and amuro explicitly confirmed to be gay 4 each other by author + movie focuses on their #relationship). also mobile suit zeta gundam (char and amuro together + kamille is a boy's name!). turn a gundam (gay character). #iron blooded orphans (gay character). the witch from mercury (about a lesbian relationship). melty blood (ries and sion lesbians). #guilty gear (bridget (self explatory)). sailor moon (mainly uranus and neptune lesbians but also apparently there are a lot of gay #characters i didn't know abt in sailor moon). the illustrated guide to monster girls (yuri moment). dramatical murder (yaoige). slow damage #(yaoige). sweet pool (yaoige). ouran high school host club (haruhi gender stuff and also her dad's whole deal). cowboy bebop (ed gender #stuff). fullmetal alchemist (envy nonbinary). neon genesis evangelion (kaworu and shinji). like half the villainess isekai out there. #haruhi suzumiya series (the girl herself is openly bisexual). omniscient reader's viewpoint (danmei). fucking re:zero has a trans girl in i #for god's sake. we're well past 20 so i'm allowing myself more fate. fate/extra ccc (red saber again but also gil and caster and bb and-). #fate/hollow ataraxia (follows same cast as f/sn). today's menu for the emiya family (follows same cast as f/sn again. also the switch game #metatextually canonizes shirou's crush on lancer if the interesting descriptions from f/sn and the various bits from f/ha didn't convince #you). fate/apocrypha (rider of black + saber of red transfemme nonbinary and trans guy respectively. the former is also bi). fate/samurai #remnant (f/sr saber nonbinary. also gil is there and rogue archer is def implied to be bi in f/go). fate/zero (waver gay rider bi. saber gi #and kirei are all there and at their most bisexual). the case files/adventures of lord el melloi ii (waver spinoff (self explanatory)). #fate/strange fake (gil and waver are there. also false lancer nonbinary and jester trans). fate/grand order (has p much every character fro #the franchise and more. notably added trans anime girl leonardo da vinci). ok no more fate. since the tournament has a p liberal definition #of media i'm including vocasongs. magnet by minato ft miku and luka (lesbian song abt lesbians). erase or zero by hzedge ft len and kaito #(magnet for boys). himitsu ~kuro no chikai~ by hitoshizuku and yama ft len rin and miku (angel rin falls in love w miku. disguises herself #as a human man to be with her). i think i've made my point clear but add my initial list of the big famous ones (-nana) from the 1st tag. #romeo.txt

I'm just gonna say this right now....

No one was saying they were ignoring the possibility of Alastor being aro/ace except annoying straight Chalastor shippers who wanted the second coming of Starco, but even then ....

This is still probably a "Marco Diaz is a Trans Girl" situation, a "Dumbledore is Gay" situation....

So until this actually ends up being something that's actually confirmed within the narrative itself as an actual thing that impacts Al's story line (and no, again, whorephobia towards Angel doesn't count) I would advise everyone who's been a little bit too overprotective of a canonically sexually harassing, cannibalistic serial killers ~"virtue"~ to kindly not continue harassing shippers and being an obnoxious scold over a word of God situation that's like a 50/50 toss up at the moment of being explained/explored within the canon of the actual show.

Especially if you project your vitriol about sex and love onto Angel Dust and people shipping their OC's with Alastor...

And just remember... If there is no God in Hazbin ... There's no reason to explicitly follow Word of God TM in it's fandom ether.

I know this will be a hard pill for some of you to take but it's the truth.

#Hazbin Hotel #hazbin hypocritical #Alastor #the radio demon #alastor hazbin hotel #hazbin hotel alastor #media comprehension #media literacy #hazbin hypocritical: season 1 #ace discourse #Look we're dealing with a very classical cartoon made with very classical means with very classical tropes in them ....And Al being the one #confirmed asexual character surprised me about as much as anything else did ... #Because the fuck else WERE they gonna do with a character of this nature in an adult cartoon that won't even show any furry little narsty #bits and yet real people still get abuse for supporting it? #If Al means a lot to you as an aro/ace person that's okay but you also need to accept that his character means a lot of things to a lot of #different people just as much as Angel does and you need to stop telling people what to do with these concepts and using them to police #others by projecting your own prudishness and repulsion...

CHUUYA IS HERE!!!!!

Also the comments:

Tankies tanking, what can I say.

Not a single original thought in there.

#tankies #and yes giving people the chance to block them all is the point #as to why one would *subject oneself to that* :because some of us would rather not see this disgusting shit? curate your social media etc #with a list it takes about ten minutes #as i explained the red ones are the confirmed tankies in the sense i checked their blog #the rest are just people who thought it's appropriate to reblog that post with Stalin portraits false claims that i'm a zionist and other bs #which in itself tells me enough #it's really not that hard

i still remember being a just-barely-eighteen year old teen, still in high school, watching burning the candle and thinking “if only they would be canon” because i didn’t trust any show to actually have canon queer rep and now flash forward to twenty six and im crying on the bus over the bees being actually canon

#rwby #rwby spoilers #rwby v9 spoilers #rwby v9 #bumbleby #it’s just so wild how far we have also come in terms of queer rep in media since then #like burning the candle was THE SCENE for me shipping them it’s where I became invested #but it also happened months before korrasami so the possibility of actual queer rep in cartoons still seemed so far off to me #queer rep was side character who would be seen for maybe an episode or two and their queerness was always confirmed off screen #and now those girls kissed and confessed their love for each other !!!! #tysm crwby

I'm going to scream?

#did they know? did they know of the implications of this sentence? #also having it confirmed that there is some kind of body sharing thing is nice #but also what is it with Japanese media and making two beings that share a body so homoerotic #I love it and I'm here for it but it happens so often and I have to wonder #golden bat #fantaman #ogon bat #Nazo being a god of some kind is also interesting. it's the first time he's given a backstory #or at least a backstory in a translation #I know in the anime he was hiding in the moon or something but they never explain WHAT he is #is he an alien? a cyborg? a robot? who knows! #the new cast is also fun but the anime crew will always be my favorite #I also wonder if any of Nazo's other minions will be callbacks to older media #I need my man Gorgo/Mazo and his silly hair #I can't remember their names but the three goons from movie would be cool to see again too

[freevoidman]

“A gay ship being a slowburn is not queerbaiting, you wouldn’t be screaming that if the ship was straight” okay but like. If a show drags the “ship’s development” out for nearly five years straight, continuously does the “will they won’t they” dance to the point where no one knows FOR SURE if the pairing has been confirmed or not in canon, and the company behind it constantly does teasing shit and marketing based around the pairing while they’re in this limbo-like state I think anyone would have the right to be pissed about it.

#rwde #yes i'm swinging a bat at a hornet's nest here and i will not crosstag because of that #I also do not think they'll have the balls to confirm The Ship in V9 #it's going to continue to be a tease because the merch sells and dragging the audience along carrot-stick like gets them money #also this HAS happened with straight ships in other media and it's still annoying! #like yeah maybe queerbaiting isn't the perfect term for this scenario but come on #also yes five years there's no fucking way The Ship was planned from V1
