#who were they

[canisalbus]

You don't know me but I'm a friend of a friend of yours and I've followed your art for many years now. seeing everybody finally latch onto your world and characters the way they deserve makes me extremely happy and feel a bit like a proud uncle

Ooh, things are getting very cryptic. Thank you, mysterious secret uncle!

To become an immortal dragon is to loose oneself.

What do you think the former hashira were like? Cuz there has got to be at least one round where they’re mostly women, there has to be I refuse to believe it doesn’t exist

What other branches breathing forms were lost to time?

Did there once exist a water pillar with all the violent rage of an ocean storm balanced out by a more tempered and polite wind pillar (lesbian wives anyone?)

Just imagine somehow summoning their ghosts and they 1: looks oddly similar to giyuu and Sanemi and 2: are disgustingly in love with eachother (I just think it’s be funny

We’re their other breathing forms lost to time? We’re some rediscovered? Was there once anyone who held the same name as “insect” or “most” pillar but it branches off from a completely seperate breathing form? How were they different?

May I please see more thunder hashira please I just I want please the world building I must just the possibilities man

Who were the other pillars who fought alongside Urokodaki and Jigoro and presumably have passed? WHO WERE THEY

#kimetsu no yaiba #demon slayer #worldbuilding #giyuu tomioka #tomioka giyuu #shinazugawa sanemi #sanemi shinaguzawa #I just wanna know man #a bouncy excitable lightning hashira #a rain pillar? #a grass pillar? #how do they feel about their current successors? #there’s no photo evidence to every remmeber them by #only spoke of in almost mythical stories #between families and victims #do you think they’ve been forgotten? #I WANT UROKODAKI AND JIGORO TO HAVE FRIENDS #PLEASE #WHO WERE THEY #Thank you for coming to my evening thought dump

You? Supposedly thinks about the Roman Empire a few times a week

Me? 24/7 running theories in my head about the sea peoples that contributed to the Bronze Age collapse

We are not the same

#WHO WERE THEY #enjoy my thoughts

[intersexfairy]

i wish i could know the stories of the intersex people in my family from generations past, but at least i know they must be there.

#the hereditary component of my variation is making me emotional #what kind of life did they have #who were they #julian rants

You know what I learned today?

At one point, Red Hood had a fucking sidekick

How? Where did Scarlet come from? Where did they go? What was their gender? Their backstory? Their motivation? Were they actually a kid sidekick or just short compared to the absolute tank that is Jason Todd post resurrection?

What happened there

AND WHY THE FUCK DOES NO ONE TALK ABOUT IT

#jason todd #red hood #red hood and scarlet #WHO WERE THEY #I HAVE SEEN EXACTLY ONE PANEL BUT MY MIND IS ENTHRALLED

Did you know that Kubo originally intended for Gin to be creepy and off-putting and was very surprised that he turned out to be very popular with the ladies? It seems a very Gin-ish thing to do, just win over the female fans without even trying. Peak troll energy.

I mean, Gin is creepy and off-putting but that is definitely part of his charm. He’s a fun character and tbh it’s surprising Kubo didn’t think Gin would be popular with women. The whole Aizen crew could seamlessly be implanted into an otome.

He’s the classic trope of light-hearted, casually cruel trickster who has a personal connection (usually to MC but in Gin’s case to Rangiku) that betrays a depth of feeling & sensitivity. He’s also pretty!!!

Kubo trolled himself by being a champ at character design lmao.

#this makes me wonder who Kubo thought would be the most popular #like I wonder if he tried to design some characters with their appeal to women in mind? #who were they #this is why I’m amazed Gege thought Gojo wouldn’t be so fucking prolific popularity wise #I dare Kubo to play (1) popular otome like lmaooooo #R&D forum board

i do unironically think the best artists of our generation are posting to get 20 notes and 3 reblogs btw. that fanfic with like 45 kudos is some of the best stuff ever written. those OCs you carry around have some of the richest backstories and worldbuilding someone has ever seen. please do not think that reaching only a few people when you post means your art isn't worth celebrating.

#i often wonder about how many things would be considered classic or high art had they only received the marketing #how many short films that were made for class could have been the most powerful thing you'd ever seen? if you'd seen them? #“you know the greatest films of all time were never made” etc etc #but like. these works of art ARE being made. it's just enjoyed by a smaller audience with equal impact though #i think about this one furry i used to follow on insta who had the coolest worldbuilding ever. it's been years. #thought prompted by that sketch of nimona from ten years ago that was just for a character design #posted to the creator's tumblr and now it's nominated for best animated feature film at the oscars #and by the genuine emotional reaction a fan comic made me feel. how much work had gone into it. how beautiful it was to me. #idk what to tag this but i hope whoever needs to hear it does #writing #writer #fandom #fandom culture #artist

"life doesnt get better, you just get stronger" does NOT include ages 11-17. life does in fact just get better from there. those years are dogshit. like, you do get stronger but its mostly just a factor of not being 11-17 anymore. positive thinking helps but it doesnt fix whatevers going on at 15, you have to brute force through that one raw

#i originally posted this as just a 'hey remember how fuckin bad middle/highschool was? shit was wild' type post but now #there are a bunch of teens in the notes being like 'oh my god are you serious? it gets better? im not stuck in hell forever??' #and im reminded that the only people who told teenage ella 'it gets better' were speakers at mental health assemblies #aka the least relatable people alive who were seemingly born to lie to you #so. uh. yeah im a certified adult who isnt here to lie or sugarcoat the realities of being a teenager #the only thing more certain than the pain is the transcience

Must be a Sugondese joke.

#dungeon meshi #chilchuck tims #laios touden #senshi #Looks like I won't be able to post this on dungeon meshi thursday so instead I will have a fun past/future conversation #This is wednesday me who has not seen the episode yet but I have such a strong feeling that it is going to be extremely special. #*This* fight is what the first arc has been building up to and it has *so* many incredible moments. #We're going to see the chilchuck knife throw! The leg sacrifice! The bones! #Watch them ramp up the quality this episode and go wild with the frantic action of 'oh god our plan is going to shit'. #Hello. Me of the future who just watched the episode. #I knew it was going to be good but that...that blew my mind completely. My high expectations were beyond met. My god. #I'm just speechless at how well they handled everything. The leg. The tension. That ENDING. #If you have not already: PLEASE watch Dungeon Meshi.

You should draw that girl with missing teeth. You should draw that girl with a crooked nose. You should draw that girl with a double chin. You should draw that girl with fat on her body. You should draw that girl with a buzz cut. You should draw that girl with large eyebrows. You should draw that girl with a lazy eye. You should draw that girl with large nostrils. You should draw that girl smiling with gums. You should draw that girl with body hair. It's enrichment for her, treat her right

#art stuff #those who were here for thorne raise your had #and the one pic I posted of her ages ago

[mausolealdrift]

its baffling seeing people on here being all shocked about how other ppl didnt have sex or do drugs or drink or go to parties etc etc in high schools like. sorry i was too busy getting bullied to do all of that stuff i guess. why are you surprised that there’s losers on the cringe loser website

#like yeah i WISHED i could do that sort of stuff #but i felt so completely isolated from everyone else at my school bc ppl were so nasty to me #its fine cos im doing all the stuff i missed out on now that im in university #but some ppl dont even get that chance #maybe its not that serious but. idk. just dont be a dick #but also ppl who didnt do that stuff acting like theyre better than ppl who did is fucking annoying and also a dick move. btw #📼

Yall wanna hear a kinda funny, kinda sad story about my grandmother and hetero-normativity?

Ok, so... when my grandmother was in her 50s (I was an infant), she met a woman at the Unitarian Church. And, as can happen when you meet your soul mate, this event made it impossible for her to deny parts of herself that she had fiercely hidden her whole life.

All the drama- their affair being found out, the divorce with my grandfather, the court battle over who got the house, happened while I was a baby. Even in my earliest memories, it's just Mama Jo and Oma, and my grandfather lived elsewhere (first his own apartment, then a nursing home, then with us.)

But here's the thing- no one ever explained any of this to me. No one ever sat down and was like "hey, Rosie, so do you know what a lesbian is?" It was the 90s. It was Texas. I think my mom was still kinda processing all this, and just assumed that like... I was gonna figure it out. Don't mention it, let it just be normal. Like I think my mom thought that if she explained the situation, she would be making it weird? I dunno.

But like. In the 90s, in all the movies I had seen and books I had read, do you know how many same sex couples I had seen? Like. 0. Do you know how many "platonic best friend/roommates" I had seen? A lot. I had no context, is what I'm saying.

I literally thought this was a Golden Girls, roommates, besties situation until I was like...I dunno, 11? 12?

It was actually their parrot, an African Grey named Spike, imitating my grandmothers voice saying "Johanna, honey, it's getting late", that triggered the MIND BLOWN moment as I realized that *there's only one master bedroom and it only has 1 waterbed* when all the pieces finally clicked.

Anyway. I think it's a real important thing for kids to know queer people exist, for a lot of reasons, but also because kids can be clueless and it's embarrassing to have your grandmother be outted by a parrot because everyone just thought you'd figure it out on your own.

Anyway, here is my grandma and her wife, my Oma, after they moved to Albuquerque to be artsy gay cowboys and live their best life. They helped run a "Lesbian Dude Ranch" out there (basically just with funding and financial support. As Oma has explained "traditionally, most lesbians don't have a lot of money" so they wrote the checks and let the younger ladies actually run the ranch.)

#this is the grandmother who passed away unexpectedly earlier this month #she was so cool yall #and so weird #they got married twice by the way once when Massachusetts legalized it and once when New Mexico did #they hiked the grand canyon together #they had a european river cruise planned for this fall #she was 89 and she wanted to see the whole world with her wife #and they were working on it #literally i thought they were roommates #and there was only one bed
