the memory hurts, but does me no harm

”using she/her pronouns for ralsei is misgendering” is functionally the same statement as “you can’t depict that white/light-skinned character brown that’s blackwashing!” And what I mean by this is that the reason whitewashing non-white fictional characters is bad is because you are erasing that character’s marginalized identity in favour of centring whiteness. It harms no one to depict a white character as non-white because whiteness is not a marginalized identity and white people are already centred + widely represented in art and fiction. Now the reason misgendering fictional characters is bad in the case of, say, Kris, is because Kris is non-binary, and misgendering them is erasing their (notably marginalized) identity as a non-binary person. Even in the absence of the incredibly blatant transfeminine coding (if you can even call it coding at this point) of Ralsei particularly in chapter 5, the people referring to Ralsei with she/her pronouns are not erasing any character’s marginalized identity. Men are not marginalized just for being men. This would be one matter if Ralsei was canonically a transgender man like Metatton but that straight up is not the case at all lmao. People on the internet she/her-ing Ralsei is causing zero harm to anyone you just don’t want your blorbo to be a trans girl

not ignoring you not replying to you but a secret third thing

living under a rock is so fun i love watching a movie that’s been famous for decades and being like wow this is so good.. did you guys know about this

lets make bad art together

i just realized that i forgot to put the word “make” in the image and i think thats fitting lets bad art together

wanna hang out [remembers it's rude to put expectations on people] it's cool if not [remembers people like to know they're wanted] but I'd really like it if you did [remembers selfishness is bad] we can do whatever you want though [remembers that handing someone a blank canvas isn't as effective as providing a suggestion to bounce ideas off of] like sucking each others fingers for example

shout-out to characters who let their childhood friend situationship dictate the course of their life to a degree that spits in the face of any and all reason. they're doing important work.

i’ve said it before but anglo lesbians are so so racist about yuri it’s actually absurd how bad it is

my futile wish is for people to understand that "sex scenes in movies/TV don't have to serve the plot and can genuinely just be for pleasure" and "sex-repulsed people are allowed to complain about how rare it is for media made for adults like them to be something they can enjoy completely" are both true statements. unfortunately society hates both sex and people who don't like sex, so everyone gets far too defensive about any sex or lack thereof in fiction to actually have this conversation

i find anglophone plagiarism discourse extremely funny because most bollywood movies when i was growing up would be straight up ripping plots and cinematography from cinema abroad and the music in them would be interpolating and sometimes just remaking it with hindi lyrics. copyright is fake asf the world is so much bigger without it <3
