I’ve Started Watching Dungeon Meshi And I Have Some Thoughts…

do not forget the patron saint of these weeks that we celebrate ourselves proudly and openly in the streets

her name was Marsha P Johnson, and we have her to thank for so much.

remember, the first Pride was a riot, and she was one of the brave souls who endured it to help carve the path which so many of us walk today. she helped found several activist groups regarding LGBT safety and wellbeing. and she was absolutely radiant, too.

thank you, Marsha. we remember you.

Eyyyyy! Am back

welp! :D

in case anyone was forgetting what the church was all about

reminders for new black butler fans

I am terrified that new fans are gonna come in (especially from twitter...shudders) and start screaming the same thing's we've been hearing since forever, so let me reiterate some things for you guys

there is nothing we can do about the seb*ciel fans. we hate them. any normal black butler fan hates seb*ciel. block the tag

most of the anime is NOT CANON. I think only e1-6 and 13-15 are canon to the manga, and even the ending of episode 15 was changed. season 2 is not canon. the OVA's are not canon. what is canon is book of circus, book of the atlantic, book of murder and the public school arc.

do not be weird about any of the characters in the public school arc oh my god those are minors (apparently the p4 are over 18, but like. still.)

do not say that you "want maurice cole to die" or "wish he had alois' trauma" that is fucking weird. I understand that maurice is not a well-liked character but that is not an excuse to say you want a CHILD to suffer

the public school arc is not a glorified version of harry potter. knock it off.

for the love of GOD do not give gregory the virgil sanders treatment i am begging on my hands and knees he is just shy and artistic not your little storm cloud

black butler is a very dark and triggering story. there are a lot of triggering themes within the manga (moreso the anime I have to be honest). if these themes upset you, then it may not be for you. that is okay. you're allowed to not like it and not interact with it. however, this doesn't mean that you should start screaming and yelling that other people shouldn't watch it either (this is more of a twitter issue but I digress)

okay now for some general reminders

if someone ships something you don't like (NOT talking about proship shit, thats nasty), i.e. sebastian x william or whatever. who cares. if you don't like it, then don't interact with it. simple as that!

this does not go for people who ship minors and adults you guys are fucking freaks

you don't have to like someone else's au. again, don't like, don't interact. it's easy

grell is a transwoman. this is not up for debate and is canon. yes, he/him pronouns are used for her in the anime and manga. NONE OF US LIKE THIS.

what sexuality / gender / race someone headcanons another character as is none of your business unless they're falling into harmful stereotypes

sascha's gender is not canon. most people use they/them for them (me included), but some use he or she. since they are not canonly nonbinary, this isn't an issue. however, please respect if someone uses they/them exclusively on them!

william is NOT abusive OH MY GOD PLEASE STOP SAYING HE IS. in the anime he is like, super brutal on grell for some reason? he only ever "hits" grell once in the manga (after her stunt as jack the ripper") and then jabs her twice with his scythe in the manga. he has never struck her. so stop. please. I love him so.

you don't have to accept the fanon (or canon really lol, that's why au's exist), there is no obligation

if someone says that bb is their special interest or hyperfixation your first instinct should not be to shit on them for it

DO NOT HARASS THE ENGLISH VOICE ACTORS, PLEASE PLEASE

don't harass the play actors either now that I'm here

like and reblog art, leave comments and kudos on fanfics

be normal for the love of god

okay that's it! byeeeee

Marcille and Laios disrespecting each other's OCs.

if viktor dies again (which) i predict is highly likely, i really want it to be on his goddamn terms.

however, i don’t think it is by mistake that viktor is written with little to no autonomy this season. in his final words/closing monologue, he speaks about the human condition and the elements that contradict one another but still coexist together, the binaries of hate vs love, sacrifice, suffering, affliction, healing, rebirth etc.

all of those things must exist, they must survive. they cannot be overcome, the good and the bad are necessary for life to be experienced in its fullest. if viktor and jayce are meant to represent one side of a coin, their consent was never something that mattered to begin with. it is not by mistake viktor discussed the possibility of fate — predestined paths and a future already foretold — with singed, his former mentor.

tldr; it’s arcane. everything happens for a reason but i too, am annoyed about viktor not having much of an autonomy this season.

as a side note: i get all the hate jayce is getting for what happened but people are forgetting that he is not himself, viktor even says this after he witnesses jayce murder salo.

if jayce was actually in there he would’ve broke free of whatever was controlling him, but the “cause” — which is unknown to us as the audience, as of now — was far greater than preserving the life of viktor.

now, keep in mind jayce wouldn’t have to kill viktor if he never resurrected him with the hexcore, he is already being punished for the choices that he made.

the arcane came into this world through jayce, he is the catalyst of everything, and i fear that it is only him that can correct what happened.

i don’t think it’s a mistake that the “arcane” title card appears after jayce walks into the light either, so despite the second time viktor dies being completely out of his and jayce’s hands. the boy wasn’t himself, even when executing the death of his someone dead to him, he doesn’t even haggle — he knows what is at stake.

jayce has seen what heimerdinger has been warning him of all along, he understands now… and unfortunately viktor does too…

tldr; maybe stop being mad at jayce? perhaps?

it's so fucked up that viktor still hasn't had any autonomy this season. he gets brought back against his own will by jayce with the hexcore. and then he makes peace with that decision and starts a commune to try to help other people and jayce kills him. and now singed is probably going to bring him back as the machine herald and he still has no say in the matter. he has no choice here, he's just being yanked around like a puppet. and that's not even talking about whatever the arcane could be doing to his mind

the fact that this was my nickname for the entirety of my primary school years makes this 1,000 times better >:]
