I mostly end up reblogging things. These could be things that make me laugh, catch my interest, or that I think is important for other people to know about.
Happy Moon Landing Eve! Remember to leave out milk and cookies for Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong, and don’t let Michael Collins convince you to prank NASA!
I was rereading Vanishing Act the other day, and... wow, look how much better Kate got at drawing people knitting in the ~7 years between these two panels!
weird fact- I couldn't find the exact sort of reference pictures I wanted for knitting, so I learned how to knit instead! one of the pictures I took to help myself out-
[Image ID: The Destiel confession meme edited so that Dean answers 'JK Rowling posted upskirt photos of a woman on Twitter' to Cas 'I love you'. /End ID]
No one doing this should be allowed to call themselves a feminist.
The wealthy author escalated a social media spat that resulted in posting a photo from a 2023 event at the Institute of Economic Affairs in
Let's not beat around the bush: Children's author JK Rowling sexually harassed someone. In some jurisdictions, this would count as sexual abuse. JK Rowling has committed a sex crime against a woman and fell back on the old rape apologist standby of "she was asking for it".
Liking Kairi but hating Sokai (or at least how it's written in canon) is a struggle eternally. Like, she could be so much more interesting if Nomura stopped stapling her story to Sora the way he is. I really hope it's intentional that Sora is quite literally holding her back.
Kairi's kind, but spunky, she's confident and bold in a way I like (at least in the first game). She's smart and crafty and that could be awesome to see more of. She's extremely determined in a way that feels so different from the boys in her trio in a way that honestly feels more grounded, And I love her for it.
Begging and praying for a Kairi game. I love Sora, he's actually my favorite character here, but he's actively detrimental to her character, I swear.
The reason why so many of y'all's feminism sucks is because you still believe deep down in your hearts that there are only two kinds of people in the world: precious, ethereal, fragile dollthings called "women", and violent, lustful, rage-fueled apes called "men". Until you throw that idea away, 3rd-grade-tier "girls rule boys drool, girls are princesses and boys are stinky :(" is as feminist as we'll ever get-- and I hope it's obvious that that's lightyears away from the bare minimum of where we need to be.
I don't know how I'm supposed to explain to ostensibly trans-friendly feminists that "women are beautiful soft things made of glass, men are obsessed with violence and sex" is exactly what the patriarchy wants you to believe. Patriarchy wants you to believe that being a woman and/or having a vagina (patriarchy generally believes those two things are synonymous) makes one shatter on impact with reality. It makes you easier to control if you are scared shitless of the other half of the population, and it makes you more compliant with your lot in life if you believe it is in the nature of the other half of the population to rape and kill rather than realise those were choices those individual rapists and murderers made. There is no way to make gender essentialism progressive and feminist, because it is one of patriarchy's tools of subjugation. Stop trying to make it progressive.
And I can scream all of that from the rooftops over and over again, and what I hear in reply is "Trans men really are men because no woman would ever decide to become an inherently evil repugnant rapist ape", and "You're so right. Trans women are women because they too are pretty delicate little objects I can fuck", and "You're non-binary? So are you fucktoy non-binary or sexpest non-binary?", and my patience runs ever thinner.
There are not a lot of people who like both of these things. But please, if you do, TALK TO ME ABOUT IT!!!! Explanations under the cut
Xehanort - Web Avatar
Him and his grand plans. Obviously web
Eraqus - Web Victim
He’s caught up in Xehanort’s, and he simply doesn’t fight that hard to go against what he’s been told is right.
(Could also be a victim of the Dark. He kinda obsesses over the whole light vs darkness thing.)
Terra - Web Victim
Manipulated, POSSESSED! Like, possessed soo much.
Brain - Web Victim/Avatar?
Also possessed but before that idk he like is a part of a grand plan, likes reading the book of prophecies, is usually the one who decides things? Sorry I've only seen the khux cutscenes ones
Ira - Web Victim
He just does what he’s told. Same as the other foretellers of course but. Idk. Vibes
MoM - Eye Avatar
He’s watching.
(Could also be Web, bc u know, he’s behind it all. But he has that eye motif going strong)
Luxu - Eye Avatar (And Victim, perhaps)
His role is to watch. Also he’s missing an eye which just puts emphasis on that motif for him
Gula - Eye Victim/Avatar
His job is kind of to observe the others and find the traitor or something? I don’t remember but again. vibes
Invi - Eye Avatar/Victim maybe
Same deal. She spies on ppl.
Aqua - Lonely Victim
DECADE OF ISOLATION!! Also feels kinda isolated, feels like she can’t connect with those around he as easily bc they're all boys and she’s not.
Xaldin - Lonely Avatar
Thinks love is weakness. Pretty solitary otherwise, goes MIA fora. bit in days because he’s fucking around off world by himself
Kairi - Lonely Victim
ALWAYS LEFT BEHIND. :(((((((9
Skuld - Lonely Victim
She had no real friends before Ephemer, and then, assuming she’s subject X, had no one except for lea & isa after.
(I didn’t include it in this list, but she could also be a victim of the Extinction. She is one of the only people to witness the End Of The World.)
Ansem SoD - Flesh Avatar
He was a scientist, seemed to like it, and uh. Turns into a big fleshy boat. Awesome.
(Could also be the Stranger. Cuz he’s human shaped, but not actually. I guess that goes for all the nobodies too)
Vexen - Flesh Avatar
Makes meat puppets.
Zexion - Dark Avatar (Victim)
Obviously DARKNESS is a big thing in Kh, but he especially is Dark with a capital D. He’s called the cloaked schemer and he is a dark sorcerer and he hangs out in the basement etc.
Vanitas - Dark Avatar (Victim probably)
Darkness is his whole thing. What he IS is darkness. yea
Saïx - Hunt Avatar
Spends all of kh2 single mindedly tracking down Axel. You could say that his dedication to finding Subject X is also Hunt, even if he’s not searching for the purpose of killing her.
(The concept of berserking usually lends itself to the Slaughter, but he only utilizes berserk when Xemnas allows him to. He’s not out of control at all.)
Riku - Hunt Avatar
When Sora is asleep, Riku dedicates all his time to ensuring that everything goes smoothly. He fights Roxas and Xion for this purpose. Then, he continues to watch Sora and Kairi from the shadows, and help clear the way for them.
Axel - Desolation Avatar/Victim
Most obvious Desolation guy ever. Fire and loss. He loses so many people. When he loses Roxas he tries to set him on fire for it.
Lexaeus - Buried Avatar
Earth powers. Vibes. He could crush you easily. He is unyielding. Perhaps he feels buried under the weight of his mistakes? (<- making things up)
Naminé - Spiral Avatar
Fucks with Sora and Repliku’s memories. Also, the entirety of Castle Oblivion is impossible architecture. Plus the fact that everything is stark white would make u feel crazy probably
Luxord - Spiral Avatar
Idk he fights weird
Marluxia - Spiral Avatar
He’s the Lord of Caslte Oblivion, which is a Spiral domain. Also missing his memories…?
(Could be End bc of his grim reaper motif, could be Web because of his masterminding…)
Ansem TW - Spiral Victim
U could ascribe a number of entities to what happened to him. I’m going with Spiral because Vibes
Xemnas - End Avatar/Victim (?)
Lord of Nothing. All the nobodies are EndCore, but Xemnas is the End-iest.
Young Master Xehanort - Victim/ maybe Avatar
Saw a lotta ppl die
Ephemer - End Victim
Dies… I mean his name means something that doesn’t last a long time.
Ava - End Victim
Sees a lotta ppl die
Larxene - Vast Avatar
Lightening powers. All weapons are named after meteorological phenomena. Probably smells like ozone.
Demyx - Vast ???
Water powers. Lowkey barely counts. I almost made a separate tier called “Demyx” cuz he just isn’t any of these. YET.
Ventus - Slaughter Avatar/Victim
Body gets taken over and made to kill
Sora - Slaughter Avatar
He kills sooo much, mostly heartless and lesser nobodies but. I was thinking of his behavior in COM and kh2 where donal and goofy have to keep reigning him in because he just wants to defeat every1 so badly. He kills Demyx and then shouts WHO’S NEXT??
Aced - Slaughter Avatar
He’s very much pro keyblade war
Xion - Stranger Avatar
The most obvious Stranger EVER… Puppet who absorbs other ppls powers and appearances.
