Something Squirrely

Sex scene as character study is so good. What is your relationship to your body? What is your relationship to your partner? What lessons have you absorbed from the culture about yourself as a sexual being? How much do you have to trust someone before being comfortable with intimacy? What fears and insecurities come to the fore for you when you take your clothes off? It's so good.

How do they communicate? How do they expect others to communicate? How well do they understand their body and their own capacity for pleasure? What do they tend to do to make their partner feel comfortable? How comfortable are they showing emotion in front of others? How much insight do they have into what their own emotions mean and are connected to? What are they focused on during the encounter? How conscious are they of exchanges of power and vulnerability? very very very good

what will it be, boss? the comfort of misery or the pain of change?

Hayato is on some Looney Tunes shit easily 90% of the time, but he's so cute that other people just go along with it. And by other people I mean Hongo and Taki.

as a child there's nothing cooler than a kid who gets subjected to evil experiments and gains special abilities. it's even cooler if these abilities also cause unfathomable suffering to use/against others. children love stories like this.

The children yearn to be Mewtwo

"I've arrived" is the best possible translation for it but im imagining a world where the primary translations match, like "From the beginning, I've already hit a climax" with "I've come".

Kamen Rider fans hijacked this post. Amazing 🥲

I have all the powers

The only way forward is to stop treating masculinity as synonymous with harmful, monstrous, or dangerous.

There is a fundamental difference between "men are dangerous" (wrong, bioessentialist) and "the patriarchy allows dangerous men to exist unchecked" (true).

Also no they're not saying it cuz they want a pat on the back , they're saying 'hey my story is evidence that it is possible to make these changes.'

Don't punish the behavior you want to see
