I Love Odokawa

barbie is not an "anti man" movie at all. it's so obvious to me that the kens were written like idiots not to call all men idiots (well... maybe a little) but instead to show how easy it is for someone to get taken advantage of. it's important to remember that while the barbies and kens are played by and written as adults, they function in the real world and overarching narrative as adolescents that don't know very much about the world.

reading ken as a young boy, he's initially nice to the girls around him (if insecure, lonely, and feeling pretty disrespected) but as soon as he steps into the real world, he sees all these men who feel very secure in their masculinity and self-assured, and he wants that for himself. he falls into the trap of the patriarchy much like a lot of young boys in real life fall into extremist right wing ideologies. but ken's insecurity never really goes away, it just gets covered with faux fur and headbands and country music. it's why he cries and admits to barbie that leading was hard. he never really wanted to hurt the barbies at all, he just wanted to feel confident and accepted by everyone, but especially barbie.

ken was never the problem by himself. he wasn't made into the world hating women. he was manipulated and turned into a misogynist by society.

Weak Hero is really good but there’s like no responsible adults in that webtoon lmao

Excuse the inconsistent art style, these were drawn at different points in time

I am apparently working on becoming a local cryptid at the store. Talents include:

Monitoring the changing of the seasons via mozzarella

Predicting the weather by picking up a piece of cheese and mysteriously saying “oh, the storm is gonna be bigger than we thought...” just before thunder

Mind reading, e.g. “Can you help me find a cheese? It’s called, uh... [starts fishing out shopping list]” “Gruyere?” “...yes O_o”

what do you mean 244 and seongjoon spent one month together on the ship and seongjoon probably wore 244s clothes all the time and when they were on land they went on a date and seongjoon wanted to know 244 because when they first fought he noticed how theyre the same but he realized 244 is completely empty and he thought he is just a tool to 244 but then he got hurt and one of the crew said 244 was worried about him and must care about him which he never does which means he was hovering over knocked out seongjoon worried sick because he was injured and they had yet another fight and seongjoon was in jail all the time but he went out with the only clothes he had which were 244 and he just came crawling back on his knees for 244 asking to be taken back by him even though all the shit they went through and 244 gently asked him if hes okay with being together even though one of them will end up date and seongjoon STILL agreed to it and they were together for so long being partners and being comfortable around each but probably still just waiting for the moment they will fall apart bc they went into the relationship knowing theyre toxic for each other and then 244 filed a divorce and just sent a bunch of killers after him and sabotaged him but told him he'll wait for him for coffee and then hE DID JUST FOR SEONGJOON TO NEVER RETURN AND THEIR GAME WAS JUST OVER LIKE THAT ?!??!

this is perfect, exactly what i thought while reading tbh

what's interesting about wang baoxiang is that when it's his pov, you understand why he says all the things he says and it feels scathing and calculated, but when you hear it from ma's pov, it just sounds so defensive and vulnerable. like, here is a man who's bracing for hatred before you even look his way

i'm eleven chapters into a weak hero fanfic but i'm not posting it until i can think of a name

CHAPTER 235 SPOILERS BELOW

seopass made this chapter specifically for me.

My random thoughts that i couldnt smoosh into its own post

This episode is a ten outta ten for me because, not only does it ooze the usual CS charm, it also has so much fun and emotion in it!!

Player shooting baskets in his room and Carmen kicking up her pants and picking the dollar out. i love it

Carmen bought a famous car from a movie, not only because she could, but because she knew Zack would be crazy for it. and when Player expressed interest in the stamp, she instantly wanted to drop over ten million dollars to get it for him. like...COME ON GIRL

The shopkeeper yelling "WE HAVE OTHERS, YOU KNOW!" PLEASE.

ZACK IS HAVING SO MUCH FUN WITH THE CAR. HES SO MUCH FUN I LOVE HIM Chase on the other hand is not. pathetic. love him too

Sheena had to climb up the bridge while Carmen just grappled up. Sheena L

CARMENS CONFRONTATION WITH HER PAST AT THE END. YESSSSSS SO GOOD

people are calling what happened today in gaza “the flour massacre”

the flour massacre

these people just wanted to get food for their families, something as basic as flour, one of the things that the very core of humanity is built on, and israel used it as a trap to murder them in cold blood

evil is not enough of a word. there is not a word to describe what they are doing to palestine. they are bleeding her out, they are torturing her and crushing her and hoping that nothing is left to remember her by when they are done. how can anyone stand and watch what is being done with indifference? how can you watch this level of human suffering, this crime against life and feel nothing, do nothing

It's about how Mello is a martyr doused in Catholic imagery and about how Near believes in no God, but he believes in Mello. It's about how Near's flimsy spirituality is a Tarot spread and Mello's unspoken faith is sacrificing yourself to save another; a sacrifice he couldn't not make because Mello is meant to be a martyr. It's about Near who had no faith being haunted by the ghost of his own creation that he couldn't not create; because Near is meant to be the haunted.
