And take us on the roads again

insanely funny to me that outside of gaster, the two people the community is 100% sure are evil is a guy named "normal" and a cat named "friend". we must all look insane

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

Yeah i headcanon the misogynistic violent enforcer of the theocracy with white supremacy adjacent parallelisms who beat a woman to a bloody pulp while calling her a rotten whore as a trans woman this totally doesnt reflect what i think about cis women and trans women

Miyazaki, by writing a character who is a blonde, blue eyed cis man, at a relatively comfortable social status in which he never felt the need to question the injustice of the society he lives in because it doesn't affect him, who idolizes brutal, racially and misogyny motivated events of the past which he never partecipated into and which radicalized him into extreme religious violence in a setting put in a century where both cults and specifically racial theory and phrenology were popping and the myth of the women as angels of the hearth was at its strongest couldn't possibly make a point on how male entitlement and privilege gets fueled into extremism, he must be writing a repressed trans woman you want to pity

The second persian wars were already borderline anime-level for the amount of bullshittery that was going on there but honestly i feel like between leonidas and maratona we lose the actual most anime character of the bunch which is Artemisia of Halicarnassus. Queen regent of Caria. One of Xerxes' closest allies to the point where she had a fleet that was only second to his. Conquered several cities including that time she dressed up as a common woman to distract the processions and let her soldiers take it. Frequently switched flags of her ship to pass as either greek or persian depending on whose waters she was navigating as to not get bothered. Pulled that same trick during the battle of Salamis once she realizes that her side was losing and attacked an ally ship to confund the greeks, and once they figured out she got a 10.000 dracme bounty on her head. Xerxes found out about that and wasnt even mad about it he actually praised her for being more shrewd than his male generals. Never got assassinated and died old and happy. Completely overshadowed her husband to the point where no one knows his name or his actions aside being married to her. She was on the hustle life

theyre cancelling fiction tomorrow. all of it
