I’m still super proud of this one (and the other foretellers lie in varying states of finish in my WIPs folder)

What's that bro? You began interacting with a media from a different country than yours and/or was made in time period different than the recent present day? Haha that's sick bro! Keep expanding your horizons bro! You're remembering to take into account that sociocultural norms, gender roles and genre expectations are different from what you are used to and meeting the story halfway, instead of forcibly superimposing your ideals into the story, right bro? Right? Right?
༝ A redraw of an old squall meme from two years ago.
This is the piece I redrew all the way back from 2022 😔
Happy Squall Saturday!

tags from tofixtheshadows: #I keep saying that fandoms will always flatten characters into shallow versions of themselves#because they will just sort of skim the surface of the media and let their expectations fill in the blanks#which are usually easy stereotypes#and this will inevitably hit marginalized characters harder; particularly people of color#and these stereotypes will more often be benevolent for the white characters#and more unfair towards the nonwhite ones
the problem of fandom reducing characters who are women and/or people of colour to sexist/racist stereotypes is definitely aggravated by the fact that a lot of fans simply do not pay very much attention to these characters in the first place then subconsciously paper over the gaps in their perception with things they’ve been culturally conditioned to believe are true about people in the same category as said character

being a symbolism enjoyer should humble you because at the end of the day no matter how eloquently you articulate it youre essentially saying "i love it when things have meaning"
the big three questions of media analysis: what the author wanted to say, what they actually said, and what they didn’t know they were saying
It’s sad how much of what is taught in school is useless to over 99% of the population.
There are literally math concepts taught in high school and middle school that are only used in extremely specialized fields or that are even so outdated they aren’t used anymore!

regularly getting tags like this on my posts about horrific abuses wrt detentions and deportations by the trump administration and just to be clear. you are all baby brained. do you think every single one of the thousands of jackbooted thugs in dhs and ice were hired in the last 3 months. do you think nothing the democrats did had anything to do with leading us here. the road to hell is paved with lesser evils

biden 2024
report released in 2024 documenting louisiana ICE detention centers under biden 2022-2024, same ones currently being used to disappear migrants and pro-palestine political dissidents by the trump admin now:
everything in this post i made 8 months ago about biden & harris admin policies and harris's proposed policies during her campaign when she bragged that she would be tougher on the border than trump. of course you cannot beat trump at this but the fact is she tried to claim that she did as vp and would as president in order to court centrists and moderate republicans, like many democrats last cycle she ran by trying to outflank republicans on the right and in doing so moved the overton window so far that you had liberals happily cheering for border police on stage at the dnc. if you refuse to acknowledge that that is in any way connected to what is happening right now? that democrats also condemning student activists because of their defense of palestine and calling militarized police in to brutalize them for over a year was a direct line to this? that the fact of the palestine exception causing democratic leadership to fail abysmally to respond to early abductions by the trump admin bc they agreed with those disappearances ideologically just at most not in procedure is the very reason those activists were among the first most high profile targets? there's a reason fascists target those people first! because you will blink when it's time to defend them! it's in the fucking poem!! my god

googling shit like "why do i feel bad after hanging out with my friends" and all of the answers are either "you need better friends" (i don't; my friends are wonderful) or "your social battery is drained, you need to rest and regain your energy levels" (i don't; i've got tons of energy, it's just manifesting as over-the-top neurotic mania). why is this even happening. it's like some stupid toll i have to pay as a punishment for enjoying myself too much

My favourite genre of gay people is "They didn't have bdsm sex onscreen but, bdsm elements are always lurking in the corner and haunting the narrative through thinly veiled visual metaphorical implication."

Please Save My Earth
No manga will ever match this in scope or in beauty of storytelling. The way it wove together two worlds, completely developed the moon world and its characters, made us care about not just past but present lives and drew distinctions between them – the way it made villainous characters sympathetic and sympathetic characters treacherous – the way it created science, religion and genetics around its ESP, instead of just having ESP for the sake of having it – and the way it lovingly wrapped its arms around plot points dropped 20 volumes ago and drew them forward into a perfectly parallel story arc, the way it made me catch my breath and realize all of this, all 21 volumes of it, must have been planned from the beginning – to this day it amazes me.
I was actually determined to translate/scanslate this manga before anyone “legit” got their hands on it, because there are certain lines spoken in Volumes 1 and 2 that could be translated multiple ways, and if you didn’t translate them correctly in Volume 1, when you got to Volume 21 and they were revisited, they wouldn’t make sense. Sadly, I only got through Volume 3… all the scanslations sit on my hard drive still, pages flipped and lovingly photoshopped (because this was before the days of the right-to-left English manga) to preserve as much of the original art as possible.

13. The most epic scene ever
Tokyo Tower
Rin, battling himself, ascends Tokyo Tower, raining terror down on the innocents there. Tamura and Mikuro and Jinpachi and Haruhiko, pleading with him. Alice, finally, understanding everything, understanding that Shion and Mokuren truly loved each other, trying to thaw Shion’s frozen heart. And the revelation of the device Shion was working on in his madness… and Rin’s fall… and Mokuren’s final miracle… as she and Shion find each other and allow all children of Earth to go on with their own lives, not the lives they’ve lived through dreams…
and “thanks,” for saving my earth.
I can’t even talk about this, it would spoil too much. Just know… it’s the most epic scene ever.
my worst enemies are people who say the inosaku fight was about sasuke. like truly why would kishimoto write all of this purely to elevate sasuke. there are better and simpler ways of doing that. the whole point is sakura framing her goals to be more palatable to the patriarchal society they live in (to the point where she's constructed a separate identity around it). it's not subtle !!!!!
sakura has plenty of merits as a character, as do the majority of female characters in naruto, but some of you use "misogynistic mangaka" as an excuse -- subconsciously or otherwise -- not to engage with them (and at worst gleefully deride them). i do not love it
