going on instagram is actually torturous because meta has deduced everything about me. every single ad is a job listing or an employment program 😭😭😭

knight of the seven kingdoms is so proletariat compared to GoT or HotD i'm really enjoying it so far

anyway, anyone who hails from that much english wealth should never be allowed anywhere near a story with class themes ever again. it's embarrassing for anyone who's seen parasite to watch saltburn, that debacle of a movie

(conservative thinking about art) art would be better if artists were normal

+ chronic 'let people have fun' fanbases

people calling emerald fennel zack snyder for women is so crazy apt lmfao. aesthetic-forward filmmaker with highly archetypical characters and marketing that centers gendered mythologies with so little screenwriting tact as to almost accidentally tell extremely conservative stories

today i learned that the announcement voices of both new york’s transit system and berlin’s transit system are provided by trans women (bernie wagenblast and philippa jarke respectively), so glad to see my aunties cornering the market on train announcement voices

you know that scene in episode 4 where ilya is lounging around with his hands in his pants cupping his shit... i want to see that but for people with boobs. it's not represented enough how boobs are casually just used like stim toys

look who got a restock before all the snow melts! keep a little bit of winter in your pocket and adopt a ptarmigan pouch! ❤️❄️🪶

i just recently revisited bleach though and that has some GENERATIONAL yuri, like i am so crazy about yoruichi x soifon and i wish more people were hyped about them!!

yeahhh i think there have always been great female characters out there and there's something to be said about fans being more willing to develop male characters on behalf of their authors, but the way misogyny pervaded the writing of all the types of stories i liked growing up (shounen manga...)

-the sociopolitics of the western anglosphere are incredibly different from the thousands of years of history and nationalist dynamics of asia and nobody who argues LNY vs. CNY seems to make that distinction.

also inasmuch as you can conjecture that lunar new year replacing CNY in common western vernacular is evidence of sinophobia, efforts to homogenize the distinctness of various lunisolar celebrations can equally be interpreted as cultural imperialism. basically this is a really weird discourse cause-

if you want a solution i think we should just call all of it Tết. billions will be vietnamese

ngl chinese vs. lunar new year discourse is such a war on christmas nothingburger argument. popularizing a catch-all phrase which includes multiple distinct celebrations with common origins (happy holidays vs. merry christmas) is not erasure necessarily. this also only matters to anglophones

which to me seems like the end result of letting these institutions get away with what is essentially aura farming (prestige branding) such that every middle class striver is desperate to have an ivy league on their CV and so competition becomes truly untenable.

btw it's really great that MAs and also canadian universities don't force you to tell a sob story to get into school. i learned recently that american universities, besides costing 2 billion dollars, make you write pitiful little essays so you can convince them to let you pay tuition

waiting for our last shipment of merch to arrive on thursday and then i will do another update post for the h/w zine............

as someone who lowkey sleepwalked through university and then got activated in my final couple years to really study and pursue further education, the way my MA applications are like Achievements:
- One (1) Scholarship.
- Survived This Degree.

character designers must overcome the association of angelic characters (vash, mercy, aziraphale, etc) with aryan features please i cant do this anymore. no more angel characters with blond hair and blue eyes please god

Thumbnail of an Instagram reel. It has a photo of Mark Carney speaking at a podium, edited to appear in front of smoke plumes amid a city. The text reads: "I'm all for international law 'theoretically'".

1/ This is utterly incoherent.

What Canadians need to hear from our Prime Minister right now is simple: call for a ceasefire and immediately withdraw your misguided support for Trump and Netanyahu’s illegal war.

OPEN CALL! We want your comics and prose!

We are launching a new zine later this year called ZENESIS, featuring comics, prose, articles and more covering Mecha, Sci-fi and Space-Fantasy genres.

Deadline is the end of March.

hehehe both!! ilya and the fight represent the same thing to shane, being the exhilaration of absolute freedom in physical power

this is the kind of shit that would make miyazaki shoot himself youtu.be/oIR8vd-bi8I?...

every ugly thing you hold inside #heatedrivalry

-stories and characters from dominant groups. representation is important and more nuanced representation is always better, but the idea that audiences should only relate to narratives about people exactly like themselves speaks to a privilege of even having those people showcased in the first place

personally i’ve always found strict demographic marketing for fiction kind of childish. there are literally books about queer transmasc vietnamese migrants that i enjoy but connect less to than books about german ww1 soldiers lol. part of growing up marginalized is being forced to see yourself in-

ONE MORE THING about this fucking topic because i cannot avoid seeing it is all the rabid gawking around why women constitute a large portion of mlm fandoms never seems to mention that queer women pervade these spaces and their access point is, in fact, their queerness unimpeded by their femaleness
