#this isnt a manifesto it's observations

[coyotevallie]

obviously i know of the wonderful real and true lesbian hermie but i would still like to hear ur thoughts on her :3

HIII :3 thank u for the excuse to explain because truly i feel so strongly abt this . here is my extensive reasons as to why hermie unworthy could never be anything but a lesbian and ur hcs are all wrong and this IS a personal attack on you btw <- thats a joke this post is very silly and not meant to be an Actual Theory but i DO feel strongly

lezzermie realness: a manifesto

REASON 1!!!!!!!!! again . WHAT WAS THE BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM THING ABOUT . and this isnt "actor character randomly dresses up as kiera knightley from bend it like beckham for no reason" which to be clear . would still make me raise my eyebrows . HOWEVER hermie isnt just any kind of actor shes a SPECIFICALLY DC ACTOR . she ONLY does dc characters . the ONE other time is when she's dressing up as scary for like a Real Reason . this is not a real reason its not even a musical or a play or smt its not even theatre kiddy . what are you trying to say hermie others will silence you but i will let you speak

REASON 2!!!!!!!!!!!!! further reasons will be predicated on the assumption that scary marlowe is a: a lesbian and b: that her crush on hermie is lesbianistic in nature . this can be proven simply w the line "im not like other girls i dont like ned or earl but when im with you my heart shatters or smt along those lines i cant be bothered to check verbatim" . abt hermie . oh so youre not into GENERIC MASCULINE NAMES like OTHER (STRAIGHT) GIRLS but hermie is different ...... this is successfully✅ proven . also she compared her and scary to the joker and harley ..... and scary STILL had a crush . i dont think anybody could tolerate that unless it was from a lesbian 🙏

REASON 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! with this assumption presumed ....... now i know what you were thinking in reason one when i asserted hermie only broke dc those tow times . "val thats not true he was jack on the titanic" . to that i say YES ...... she did an overdramatic romantic scene riffing on an iconic straight couple from a historical movie with (as we have 100% proven) a lesbian w a dykey ass crush on her . whats more lesbian than that . thats the butchfemmiest shit

REASON 4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i hear you cry from the crowds . but valentine ur MISSING something . ur WRONG . because NORMAL!!!!!!!! to which i say normal is so obviously a girl to everyone but herself lets be real . the eldritch beast she has this deep connection with and empathizes with immediately is fixated on being a bad girl? she has a whole arc where she tries to be a normal son and boy to appeal to her parent who doesnt approve of how she chooses to express herself and picks a masculine name to go w it in contrast to . um . i mean i guess an adjective is gender neutral??????? hermies a lesbian FOR normal not DESPITE normal ......... also lesbians can be mlm and have complex genders too . me for example . bigender swag which hermie absolutely has

REASON 5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! if we assume normal's arc is transgender THEN we must observe the parallels with hermie and come to the same conclusion of girlmie (or boygirlmie but bigendermie is a convo for another day) realness . both created to be a specific type of son (normal well Normal, hermie a joke machine) both Not Quite Right in a way they cant shake both reaching out for a new more fitting identity which in hermie's case EXPLICITLY includes gender nonconformity (we will discuss next bulletpoint) . and if we prove girlmie by way of her crush on scary (and as previously stated normal) we prove lezzermie

REASON 6!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! dressing up as poison ivy isnt necessarily lesbianistic because she dresses up as other dc villains HOWEVER!!!!!! i will argue that the way she goes about it is uniquely suggesting of dykery . a: she flirts with normal .... THROUGH poison ivy . distinctly RELATED to poison ivy . this is lesbian behavior and reinforces my prior point and b: she REPEATS poison ivy ...... which she rarely does with others she goes through Eras with the rest of them but abandons them after HOWEVER!!!!! she does poison ivy sexy and gets sort of interrupted . THEN does batman in the spiderboyz intro . THEN goes back to poison ivy in hell........ why does she only repeat the known lesbian 🤨

REASON 7!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HERMIE unworthy ... HER MIE .... like her and me ...... instead of her man (heterosexual in nature) she chooses herMIE . normal holds her face and goes YOURE HERMIE (her x me) . think about it guys . think about it ........

ok anyway thats enough of my ramblings . this post is very silly if u cant tell but i am a #believer

#jokey tone .... DEEP truth at its core

What Marxist books have u read specifically

Not enough, to be honest. I have tried to read through Capital volume 1, but my ADHD ass didnt get too far. Loved what I did read tho. A lot of my theory came from some college courses I took on philosophy, when I breezed through some different Marxist thinkers. Also an assortment of leftist youtubers, lol. I did enjoy George Orwells books 1984 and Animal Farm, the latter of which I think is a good critique of the Soviet Union. Mark Fischer's Capitalist Realism, which is a fantastic read. Of course I have read the Communist Manifesto also. Ive also enjoyed watching folks like Slavoj Zizek. Most of my understanding at the end of the day isnt tied to any specific Marxist thinker, but in engaging in discourse, general philosophy, and even a bit of theology. Im a bit of an odd duck when it comes to this.

So at the end of the day, I need to read more theory, but my take is theory isnt the point. The point is praxis and understanding. Like, yes its good to be able to point to some theorists where you get your ideas, but a lot of solid Marxism comes from some fairly basic observations. I both think that theory should be something you should try to engage with, but also that it shouldn't be thought of in the same way Evangelical Christians think of reading scriptures, which is the way a lot of "leftists" engage with theory, imo.

So yeah. I've read some theory, and want to read more, but I am pretty confident that in my chops as a good Marxist regardless.

[This is incomplete and ambiguous, but while it’s still diverse Tolkien week I have a lot of thoughts about disability* in Tolkien and am trying to put some of them together. @diversetolkien]

There is ableism; there are portrayals that I think are harmful and I wish they were not there. There are also portrayals I am grateful for. There is space for disability to exist, to be central to a character’s arc or to be an incidental occurrence. I do observe that disability usually serves to add a negative flavor to a character’s life or arc: an obstacle, even a fatal one, which in some ways is the also-unsavory inverse of a superhero/cure trope. The portrayal is not uniform nor consistent, and while some of it is confining, reductive, or demeaning, I also appreciate the visibility and acknowledgment of disabled existence in fantasy - an existence that is fundamental to these stories of strife and survival in a certainly imperfect world.

(Which is not to say that disability is an inherent defect, nor that the world would be more perfect without us! but that in many cases, what is construed as disability in a given context is a reflection of how you relate to the world you’re in as well as the traces the world leaves on you. And it is always disingenuous to create a true-feeling fantasy world without us. Disability is both a universal and a contingent experience – we have always existed; and too, the world continues to produce experiences of disability, be it through physical effect or psychological.)

There’s a vast range of human experience in Tolkien – and yet of course always an incomplete and flawed reflection. How much we find may depend on our readings, and our personal relation to the text and the characters. There’s a lot of space to fit yourself into these stories, as well as to refuse ableist sentiments that certainly crop up. I am consistently struck by how present are narratives of disability, and so varied; although a lot of it is bleak, a lot also rings true to me. And what doesn’t is free for us to remake for ourselves. Since it’s not like Tolkien from beyond the grave is going to adjust or undo anything in his works, it’s on us (as readers, artists, writers) to recognize, reject, and not reproduce the ableism therein.

*I am using ‘disability’ here veeery broadly, both because experiences or definitions of disability are highly context-dependent, and also because there is a wide range of potentially relevant story and character elements within Tolkien’s work that I think we as disabled readers can read into, identifying certain insights as well as certain biases.

#also i am only one person and these are just my thoughts #and they are fundamentally ambivalent bc i am always thinking about disability but from so many angles at once #this isnt a manifesto it's observations #on things i care a lot about #i'll probably add more specific thoughts later #also im always down to talk disability in fantasy #tolkien meta #disability in arda #skravler #disability #diversetolkienweek #dvtw21

realized ive never made a real actual ushiasa post here outside of stupid posting so. Here Is My UshiAsa Manifesto

i genuinely believe that asahi and ushijima would balance each other out and complement each other in a really interesting way while also having a fun parallel and thematic question around what it means to be The Ace at the core of their relationship. i mean my main thing in the simplest terms is that i think asahi really benefits from being around straightforward people, and ushijima really benefits from being around people who are willing to take the step to realize that his bluntness isnt malicious, its just. bluntness.

to explain a little more, though: asahi is the kind of person who hyper analyzes and overthinks everything; on one hand, it feeds into his anxiety and makes him second guess everything, but on the other, it makes him really good at trying to figure out what exactly the people around him are thinking, and it means that when he isn’t anxious out of his mind, he really takes the time to think about what he wants to say and do.

ushijima, conversely, doesnt consider very heavily what other people might be thinking, or how his words might be misconstrued, because why would they be when he says exactly what he means? frankly, that’s kind of on other people for reading into subtext he really isnt adding, but it also results in him not initially understanding a lot of what other people do and say, because he expects them to be exactly like himself—straightforward and no-nonsense. but when he's around people who either are like him or at least understand his nature, he's able to really connect.

the interesting thing comes in that, well, i dont think they would necessarily get along at first. asahi would be doing exactly what he shouldnt—reading too far into ushijima’s words, and assuming they’re somehow malicious—and ushijima wouldn’t understand or like asahi’s flightiness and anxious rambling. but i think given some time and interaction, they would actually benefit a lot from being around each other. once asahi could realize ushijima only ever says what he means, and really isn’t rude, he just holds strong beliefs and defends them with full confidence, he’d probably really appreciate knowing for certain that he doesn’t have any reason to overthink it. and once asahi gets comfortable, i think ushijima in turn would appreciate that asahi takes the care to really think about what he wants to say, as well as being observant enough of him and other people to be able to kind of act as a second perspective in a way that isnt hostile or condescending. even if ushijima doesn’t necessarily agree with everything, i think that he would find asahi interesting rather than inscrutable. they'd be able to take each other seriously, not belittling or dismissing each other's quirks, but because they aren't, like, the same, they also wouldn't take it all too seriously; they'd just be able to kind of spot each others weaknesses while acknowledging their strengths, if that makes sense. maybe not even weaknesses and strengths, just. differences. points of view. that kind of thing, you know? just… being able to pick each others brains about their differences, without that confrontational aspect.

and when it comes to volleyball…

i mean, their takes on each other wrt to volleyball would largely depend on when they started interacting, but. i think in general, ushijima kind of represents what asahi thinks he should be as the ace, and asahi represents a strength in the midst of chaos that ushijima really respects. you could say its as simple as the core conflict between karasuno and shiratorizawa as a whole—simple, pure power vs innovation and evolution—but i think it goes deeper than that, too. while ushijima cares about pure power for powers sake, it isn’t necessarily just, like, a pride thing. it kind of is, but it also has to do with a core belief that a team is as strong as its ace, and a desire on his part to be the last resort, the paragon of strength, the pillar his team can rely on no matter what. and that driving force, that need to be strong for the sake of the team, is what asahi tries so hard but feels he fails at. But on the other hand, asahi doesn’t actually fail at it—he just doesn’t have the confidence to see that. but to make up for it, he’s able to adapt with the rest of the team and keep growing and growing so he doesn’t get left behind. I think ushijima would be able to see asahi’s simple, pure strength and help him see it for himself, and I think asahi would be able to show ushijima a different kind of strength without being so directly confrontational about it as, say, oikawa or hinata.

honestly i guess i just really really really like the idea of ushijima seeing asahi as, like, the only member of karasuno who's normal, and then having that idea turned on its head and needing to reevaluate what it means to be Strong. and asahi seeing ushijima as everything he ever wanted to be, and then actually interacting with him and seeing the human behind that and coming to understand him as just, like, some guy who really, really, really likes volleyball instead of some untouchable monster on the court, and that making him reevaluate how he thinks.

also. final and arguably most important point for my case:

I Just Think They Are So, So Cute Together

#ushiasa #ushijima wakatoshi #azumane asahi #haikyuu!! #ummmm. #ushijima x asahi #i feel soooo silly using an 'x' tag in 2021 but like. what am i gonna do. its a rarepair with characters who dont even interact #anyway. i like them a wholeeeee lot #obv this is very silly and just for funsies but i just. have many thoughts and i luv luv luv thinking about unexplored character dynamics #like. am i stretching? yes but literally when am i not #anyway tldr i think asahi and ushijima would (after a period of awkward strained interaction) find a lot of comfort in each other's company #because once they understand each other just a little bit the way they communicate and think about the world would complement each other #and under all that would be a little flame of competition and rivalry that would push them both forward #and i love them soooooo so so much <333333 #FINALLY getting close to finishing the next chapter of my fic for them so i. ofc. decided to write this instead #but its fine we're getting there i prommy <///3 #its not even that good of a chapter after all this time i really Really need to just get it out and move on. #AUGHHHHHH i hate writing. anyway thats not what this post is about this is supposed to just be ushiasa propaganda #one thoughts #slightly ​edited a couple points since this was posted just to make myself clearer btw #bc there were some things i think i didnt quite word right to express what i meant. #mainly about them both genuinely finding each other Interesting and approachable if that makes sense lol
