Hi transbian here! Still very much around and thirsting over you ππππππ
just 4 the transbiansπ
when i first read fire punch i was a bit appalled by how absurdly grimdark it is to the point where i questioned how much of it was really neccessary to convey how fucked up and evil this world is. but after all of that and agni was told that he didnβt have to do anything violent anymore it had this extremely profound effect on me
and i still believe that itβs not something that someone should read if they are not the target audience, because the target audience is very clearly a group of people who are traumatized to the point of non functioning (that includes meeeee :3)
but i donβt really feel as though that much of the taboo and awful topics depicted have a level ofΒ βnecessityβ to them anymore because like, it fucking sucks to see those things happen. but i think thatβs part of the point, as is the case with a lot of other media iβve been seeing around lately (lisa the painful, fear and hunger, project moon games)
itβs got tw lists higher than the tower of babel because knowing how personal tatsuki fujimoto gets with his works, that is most likely what he feels. what he felt every day of his life, which can only be conveyed through all of that plus the visual of being set on fire for 8 years and feeling every second of it
and i donβt know, i... i just think thatβs powerful. itβs what i needed to hear in my life when i first read it. that this awful and horrible pain, despite how bad it hurts, should not stop you from living.
this constant pain and suffering isn't "just life", it doesn't even have to define *your* life. you can be who you want to be past the pain.
you have to live.
say thank you
heβs so embarrassing omfg
Iβm talking about Shadow lololol
