Non-Beanary

It’s crazy just how into JRWI I am because at the end of the day it’s a podcast. Sure there are visuals and commissioned art and animations but the characters i’ve come to know and love are improvised words from the cast’s mouths. I’m not watching the characters move around like with any other media; I’m watching the faces of a group of friends goofing around whether they’re in the same room or apart. And sometimes you can’t even watch them, they’re just voices in my head telling me the cool shit they come up with and I drink that shit in. And it’s the same 4-5 cast members, plus the goated background editing crew of probably 2-3 people creating these amazing stories.

Hey, don’t cry. Free online database of Japanese folk lore

Might I add, free database of mostly European folklore and myths

A Book of Creatures by @a-book-of-creatures doesn't update these days but is another thing along these lines, really huge, fully illustrated all by the author and cites all sources

"here's my original character, Man Who Sucks But Loves His Daughter Very Much" and it's a guy who worships at the altar of patriarchal violence and the woman he uses as an excuse and an effigy to absolve him

well i think his daughter should tell him to kill himself

I hate you Ozempic craze I hate you 'heroin chic' I hate you weight loss ads on public radio I hate Burn Fat Fast ads every thirty seconds I hate you I hate you I hate you

I grew up before the term 'thigh gap' was invented I grew up before 'hip dip' was invented I was born before 'muffin top' was a thing before 'clean girl look' was a thing before 'glass skin' was a thing before razoring off peach fuzz was a thing and I'm so so so fucking tired of us inventing new concepts purely for the purpose of convincing people to hate their own bodies enough to buy products

Last time Tuberculosis ran through the USA a small number of people got it on purpose to look skinny and waifish and delicate and used makeup to look flushed and bony and when the Victorians figured out tapeworms people would infect themselves on purpose to starve themselves smaller and women and now in the year of our lord 2026 there is a noticeable fraction of the USAmerican population genuinely thrilled about a treatment-resistant microbial parasite that makes you shit and vomit your brains out for a month because side effects include weight loss and STILL we talk about being skinny like it's the natural default setting for all healthy people as if it's a self-sustaining standard and not an imaginary goal that we are constantly constantly constantly beating ourselves with a whip to acheive
