My Creative Process Is 5% Writing And 95% Daydreaming About My Characters Like They’re Real People.

Me when JJK dudebros shit on Megumi or disregard Geto.

People will really chalk a character's actions up to "madness" when if you actually pay attention to the narrative, they've obviously been pushed to the end of their rope through a culmination of assorted shit. Buddy I promise you, if you went through half the crap that character went through, you'd do some real wacky stuff to try and escape the pain, too.

A trans character and black character in my seasonal anime bonding over the discrimination they’ve faced??? HELLO?!! This means the world to me. Thank you Watanabe. Always been an ally.

I saw a poll on Twitter saying "If Lucifer died or left the position of king who would be better?" then there were two options, Satan and Charlie, I went for Satan for obvious reasons but I was surprised by the votes, 56% were for Charlie and only 20% for Satan and that made me think

Why do people think Charlie is more responsible than Satan?

Satan has been in this position of sin for years, most likely before Charlie was born. He is responsible for judgments and Lucifer was practically not governing and the one who was most in charge was Satan, who was dealing with the responsibilities. He already has experience in leadership, even though he is rough, he did what Lucifer did not do. He understands how Hell works and even has a therapist. He asks for the opinion of the other sins and of Goetic kings and princes, so he is not arrogant or extremely fierce

Charlie is anything but a leader, she needs other people to do things for her, Charlie doesn't even have the respect of the sinners and the overlords when she is far above them, she thinks everything is a fairy tale and that is clearly not how hell works, she is easily manipulated, she doesn't know or even tries to use her powers which is very important to show who is in charge of hell, so no, Charlie is not the best option to be queen of hell, she has no experience, she only focuses on one part of a giant problem, she doesn't interact with the subjects of hell which in this case would be the demons and she lives in a fairy tale as if she were a child but she is a young adult without the presence of her mother and father for years

Anyway, I will never understand people who think she can replace her father, Lucifer was already doing nothing now Charlie is capable of destroying hell with just simple words leaving chaos

What if we just pretended Drix was a woman. What if we referred to Drix as She/Her. Every time Drix is onscreen we perceive them as a female character with a masculine voice (if the voice is even masculine). Every time Drix is referred to as male we just ignore it. If you go to this fandom everyone discusses Drix as a female character and we edit the Ninjago wiki. What if we just collectively gaslit ourselves and everyone around us to the point where even Doc Wyatt gets confused and female Drix becomes canon.

i'm so tired of the yaoi-ification of mlm ships where people feel the need to make one of them (usually the fandom-assigned bottom) into a teeny tiny waifish twink and the other into a huge musclebound super aggro guy (usually the fandom-assigned top) i know this is like a thing many people have been saying for years but i just feel like it has never actually gotten better in fandom spaces. the fatphobia of it, the gender essentialism, the homophobia, it's all so fucking annoying it makes me want to scream

Petty complaint but why can't there be more masc!readers??

Everytime I see an x reader, it's always it's always fem!reader, my transmasc ass cannot get through them because I get dysphoric as FUCK. And I for one cannot dream of writing one, I'd cringe at myself and delete.

Like I'd love to read some x readers about JJk because I know there are DARN GOOD ONES but I DON'T because if I don't get laid as a man I ain't getting laid I get hella dysphoric I cannot. 😭

If you find any good x male readers, please send me. I need to start reading fanfic again.

To those saying that it’s okay to call To Be Hero X “anime” because the Chinese equivalent term “donghua” (动画) literally also means “animation” don’t get the point.

Would you call your English breakfast tea “chai” even though “chai” is just the Hindi word for tea? Or any bread “naan” even though naan also just means “bread”? Café au lait and café con leche both literally mean “coffee with milk” in their respective languages, but their traditional preparation method and taste is very different. There’s also American comics vs Filipino komiks.

But most of all, would you call your Japanese anime “cartoon” even though that’s the actual English word for animated shows?

You won’t.

So when you borrow a term from another language to describe one thing, you’re actually saying that that thing comes from a particular country or culture.

Calling To Be Hero X an “anime” is like saying it’s from Japan.

“Oh chill, Miya, it’s not that serious—” But it is.

It’s bad enough that a lot of people already think that the show is from Japan and don’t bother to watch it in the original audio, but it’s even worse when you see the sinophobic comments online about people’s resistance to the original version despite learning it is from China (insisting the jp dub is better even though they can’t understand Japanese).

Calling TBHX an anime would be acquiescing to the erasure of the Chinese background of the show and saying that it’s actually Japanese when it’s not. (And if you just pause for a second to think about it, that is such a fucked-up thing, considering what Japan did to China in WW2. But let’s not delve too deeply into that.)

“But some people call ATLA an anime even though it’s not from Japan—”

Yeah, but the USA-Japan relationship is very different from the Japan-China relationship. You cannot compare these two. I can go at length about the geopolitical implications, but to keep it simple, just think of it this way: Calling a donghua an anime would be similar to whitewashing.

But even without considering the “serious” context, TBHX animation isn’t even like that of a typical anime. Have you ever seen an anime that blends 3D and 2D animation so seamlessly and ambitiously like TBHX does?

3D animation is kinda a staple in donghua. There are so many great 3D donghua out there. Recently, the 3D donghua Nezha 2 even beat Inside Out and The Lion King for highest-grossing animated film of all time. And even before TBHX, there were already many other donghua that mix the 3D and 2D mediums (e.g. You Yao, No Doubt in Us, etc.).

So to say, TBHX animation style is distinctly Chinese. You cannot call it an anime.

I debated whether or not I should make this post, but decided that I have to, because there are so many people, especially in America who do not know this. And it is SO important. So please take 5 minutes of your time and read this.

Let me explain to you why Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s statements about autism are extremely dangerous and should deeply concern you (not only if you are autistic)

For that you need to understand a bit about the history of autism, so you can see the parallels to what is happening now.

The whole "high functioning autism" thing exists for a reason. Not the one you think though. You have probably heard that "high functioning autism" was called Aspergers Syndrome before. This concept was created during the 1930s and 1940s in Austria (although it was not called Aspergers syndrome back then). There is a lot more to this, but for the purpose of this post I will keep it short.

The nazis saw every disabled or mentally ill person, including children as unworthy to live. The main purpose of the Asperger Syndrome was to separate the children into two groups. The ones they could use for their causes, indoctrinate with the nazi values and force to work. And those we would call people with high support needs today, the group they deemed as not worth to even be alive. (This does not mean that "high functioning autistic people were not also killed, they were.)

This diagnosis was a death sentence for those children. To be clear, the nazis did not only kill autistic children and adults but also mentally ill and disabled children and adults.

The next thing you have to understand is that a shocking amount of people knew about this back then and there were parents who willingly and even gladly handed their children to those institutions, knowing they would kill their children, because they themselves saw their own children as worthless, a burden and not valuable to society.

Back to what Robert F. Kennedy said. One of his first statements was "They will never be able to pay taxes." (Refering to autistic children, especially targeting those with high support needs) And that tells you everything you need to know. Because that is how he and a concerning amount of people determine the worth of a person. If they work, if they pay taxes, if they consume and contribute to the economy. If not, they are seen as worth less than working people.

Sounds familiar, does it? Because the nazis used the same measurements to determine peoples worth. That is no coincidence.

They always come for the vulnerable first.

They always come for the minorities first.

It is this belief that a certain group of people is worth more or less than others that is so dangerous!

Because many people already see neurodivergent, mentally ill and disabled people as less. Less worthy, less useful, less human. So it's easy for him to go ahead with those statements, because it does not concern the majority of people.

So please educate yourself about the topic, read into what happened in Nazi Germany. Read about how it happened, how everything started! Because if we don't pay attention to this now, it might be too late!

Because Stolas did all this to himself. He cheated on Stella to have sex with an imp. He's ungrateful to anyone who isn't Blitzo, even though they saved his ass a bunch of times. He abandoned his daughter three times just to either flirt with Blitzo or stick it to Stella or having himself sacrificed in front of the court just so he can have his power stripped and live with his booty call. He lost everything because he did all of this to himself.
