didn't want to put this rant in the tags of that last post but honestly i feel like a lot of people hate toshiro disproportionately compared to what he actually did in-story. and if we're being real it's most likely because of racism

#xyx.txt #because so much of his misunderstanding of laios comes from a cultural angle #and because his mannerisms are strongly coded as japanese especially relative to the other characters in the story #i think a lot of people's implicit biases have them reading this as an inherent and unchangeable aspect of his being #rather than being just one aspect of him that originates from a particular context and is fully changeable #like any other trait on anyone else. #part of this is just because of the fact that the story is told from laios and his party's perspective #but i think a lot of people's perspectives on him are probably informed by racism #not all east asians are quiet and polite. i know this myself as a kind of loud and awkward and easily excited east asian person myself #but generally cultural mannerisms from east asia tend to be more subdued overall than western ones #so it's. not uncommon. for western people to read east asians as being rude or cold or aloof just for behaving like this #the 'oriental inscrutability' moment... #like he doesn't need to 'get rid of the stick up his ass'. he just needs to not put such heavy expectations on other people #but yeah i think a lot of people are way more unsympathetic to him than they would have been if he were not so distinctly asian-coded #which is ironic! a lot of people being really mad at him for ableism specifically in the social expectations he holds of others #while applying the same kind of judgment to him but through the perspective of race instead of neurodivergence. suspicious. #blah blah blah it's because he's 'neurotypical' or whatever #predicting how some of you people would behave toward neurodivergent asian people and the outlook isn't good #also if we're on the subject of microaggressions. #laios repeatedly and insistently calling him 'shuro' to the point that everyone else calls him that too #that's not 'funny autism bad with names' moment that's a racist microaggression #someone misnaming me because of my distinctly ethnic/foreign-sounding name doesn't automatically become funny and relatable #just because you're neurodivergent lol #can we maybe have more empathy toward characters and people of color in fandom #instead of always using them as punching bag side character trope #thanks.

people these days are so wrapped up in "don't even speak to me before i've had my coffee lol!!" coffee is life" culture and it shows through in all the non-coffee options at places with limited drink menus otherwise. stop putting caffeine in all the fruit drinks too. can't we just have a normal beverage. i know corporations are quite invested in their current caffeine-addled state of affairs but like you guys have to know there's drinks other than the ones with awful caffeine in them right

#xyx.txt #also hate the culture where once you become an adult the only drinks that are 'normal' to consume are caffeinated or alcoholic #or for health nut purposes #i'm not a baby because i enjoy me a juice i just have better taste than everyone and they're jealous

good evening everyone. it’s an excellent day to watch inhuman figures: robots, clones, and aliens by ca davis and michelle n. huang

#xyx.txt #if you're interested in asian identity and asian representation in media this is worth a watch #oh and. it's also a great watch for sci-fi enjoyers #a lot of common sci-fi tropes are rooted in and/or related to techno-orientalism and xenophobia #so maybe take a look #disclaimer that the primary focus of the history and specific media examples presented in the film is east asian identities

take of indeterminate temperature but babies and kids are only annoying within the context of people treating them like toys (expecting you to find them appealing as you might find a toy appealing, raising them like objects or trophies) and they are actually really fun and cool when they are treated as what they are, which is weird little people-in-progress

dungeons and dragons: honor among thieves was so good, and [pointing to the, like, 2-5 followers who see and like my text posts] you should watch it

#xyx.txt #xenk is literally THE guy of all time. i love paladins i love characters that are so lawful good they're silly #i ESPECIALLY love his autistic swag. #doric was a little boring but i forgive her #because i think her player is the one who like. #doesn't know how to rp very well so picks one specific trait and that's the only trait they bring up in rp moments #'i.........don't trust humans. they always lie.' repeated in a handful of variations depending on the situation #it reminds me of my little (for the most part) inexperienced dnd group #yes i include myself under the inexperienced category

i feel like if it were not for the fact that the people there are all busy shopping and often likely cannot afford to stop to be easily drawn, costco would be a gold mine for references if you wanted to practice drawing a wide variety of people

#xyx.txt #i think in our modern society perhaps one of the best visions of a diverse and welcoming culture can be found in costco #maybe it's just my regional experience but. #i have seen people of practically all races ages and stylings perusing the isles #of course any public place is going to have a variety of facial features but i think also from my NE USA costco experience #there is a lot of diversity you sometimes don't see in other places #where i HAVE seen this level of diversity is on the NYC subway. god i love the NYC subway #whenever i'm at costco or on the NYC subway i just wish i could pause time. get comfortable. and just. draw
