#brimhatweekspoilers

that means if you're anime-only you should

block the tag #brimhatweekspoilers

or don't. that's what free will is for. but don't blame us if you see a spoiler. we're not the knights moralis we refuse to erase your memory sorry :(

Everyone in Team RWBY has a scar in a way, but only three of them are actually visible. Weiss has one on her eye, Blake has one on her stomach, and Yang with her arm.

For Ruby.. there is no visible scar. The scar that she has is her heart, mind and soul. I think its really interesting how everyone has visible scars while Ruby is the only one that is scar-free and “fine” on the surface. It parallels perfectly with the way people see these characters, both the audience and characters in the story itself.

Happy Gravity Falls anniversary, everyone! <3 Here's a drawing that was posted a couple of months ago on my Boosty. So, this is another crossover I've been thinking about for a long time. At one point, I noticed that I kept making one mistake while typing Oscar's surname. Oscar Pines, not Pine. But why? That's because my brain was already used to the Pines family 😁

And so this idea was formed. Pines triplets, how does that sound? I was also trying to make them look alike, so now they all have Oscar's complexion and freckles, and brown hair like Dipper and Mabel. But I kept their eyes closed intentionally because I couldn't decide on the eye color for all three.

"The 'God Made Trans People' billboard is stupid! God didn't make me! I'm an atheist!" Okay. The billboard sits along a major highway in Kansas. We can deduce that the target audience is not you—it's the centrist evangelical Christians driving along that road who could probably be persuaded to become allies as long as we choose our words carefully and don't make them feel attacked for not already knowing everything about trans rights issues. Another one I see a lot is, "We shouldn't be talking about how right-wing legislation catches [privileged in-group] in the crossfire when [marginalized out-group] suffers far more!" I know. I agree with you. Which is why you and I are not the intended audience of this argument!

The entire point of rhetoric is to win over someone who doesn't already fully agree with you. In this case, let's say that someone is Jennifer, the moderate center-right mom in your neighborhood who doesn't really know or care about transgender issues but would be absolutely horrified by the idea of her teenage daughter having to submit to an invasive inspection of her body just to be allowed to play soccer. Tell her, "Banning trans students from sports will inevitably subject all student athletes to invasive gender-policing," or "Legal restrictions on gender-affirming care will make it harder for you to access the hormone replacement therapy you take to treat menopause symptoms," and she is more likely to question her existing beliefs and listen to the rest of what you have to say than if you lead with leftist talking points that she already has a calcified opinion about or which she thinks do not personally affect her.
