✨Eccentric Allusions✨

My oddities and obsessions make me who I am...or, really, I should say my friends, interests, and the internet. Pan-demi(c) reporting in, she/her!🎬I tend to blog: anime, art, cosplay, video games, comics, literature, fandoms galore, anything LGBTQ 🎀Lately: Final Fantasy XIV

I just think "data center water usage should be federally regulated," while less catchy and less emotionally charged, is a stronger political stance than "fuck AI." Targets the systemic flaw rather than a product, you know?

Grief is so fucking wild. It sinks into your muscles, forces itself to be felt. It steals your appetite, floods your brain with cortisol. It makes you so, so tired.

If someone you know is grieving, telling them "just let me know what I can do" means nothing. They can't. They don't know. And the small things are too embarrassing to ask for.

Bring them a cheese platter. Pre-Cut fruit. Peanut butter pretzels. Protein shakes (like slimfast) Food that requires no prep and does not create dishes.

Do the dishes. Take out the trash. Sweep the floor. Vacuum the carpet. They won't ask you to do this, but it will help.

A bottle of acetaminophen honestly might help more than flowers. Grief really can cause muscle aches.

I am neck (haha) deep into this manga/anime. Hikaru Ga Shinda Natsu (The Summer Hikaru Died) is such a poignant exploration of what makes humanity lovely and terrible by juxtaposing an actual eldritch horror next to the everyday horrors of human hate.

Please check it out! I haven't loved a story this much in a long time <3

[ID: an illustration of "Hikaru" and Tsujinaka Yoshiki, two young men from the anime The Summer Hikaru Died. They're walking hand-in-hand in their school uniform across a grassy hillside.

"Hikaru" is a teenage boy with short white hair who's walking to the left. Yoshiki is a teenage boy with short black hair who's walking to the right. Dominating the upper portion of the image is an abstract, swirling cloud-like formation stretching over the blue sky from Hikaru's neck. It's coloured in a black, blue and purple fade.

In the background is the clear, bright blue sky with some fluffy white clouds and a forest growing up a mountain range. /ID end]

[VD: the video shows the sped up process of creating the aforementioned image. /VD end]

The Summer Hikaru Died is like. what if you believed you were a disgusting monster for being gay. but then you meet a real monster, and over time you start to believe that even this monster deserves to be safe and happy, and it's the first time you start allowing yourself to believe that maybe you do too. what if I cried one million tears forever

Why you should watch the Dead Boy Detectives

[yelsapo]

Loved when Edwin was like "There's nothing we can do, every time I try to run it chases and kills me again" and then Charles goes "Well yeah but now you have me and this BOMB" and promptly chucks a lit molotov at the spider demon

[gryffongull]

The number of scarily accurate textpost memes you can make with these mfs is insane

[myiliterallyhavenolifegoals]

the fact that Edwin lived in the early 1900s is a fantastic source of comedic potential. he's just constantly saying things that he doesn't realise are completely batshit insane, and the others are just left utterly floored.

like they're all talking and Crystal mentions she's tried cocaine once on a wild night out, and Edwin, who used to get that shit medically prescribed at the drop of a hat is like ??? okay?? hope you felt better, it always used to help me when I had a cold too :) Charles why are you laughing?

They said “this is Edwin. He’s a repressed gay Edwardian teen who was ritually sacrificed by the guy who had a crush on him. His super power is he gets tortured so good even Despair thinks he’s neat.”

Then they threw him at tumblr like a wedding bouquet

[clearancecreedwatersurvival]

Every time a streaming service puts out a new show with deliberate focus on diverse casting and featuring queer characters, refuses to devote any marketing budget to the show at all, and then cancels it for not getting enough hype, we should be allowed to ritually sacrifice an entertainment executive.

Dead Boy Detectives / The Sandman

[cadewitha]

honestly, so poetic to kill a queer show about two queer boys who got killed

@netflix ur literally a supervillain with a masters in homophobia and racism i hope ur knees hurt from all the time you’ve spent sucking capitalism’s dick

[anonymouscheeseball]

bringing this back for obvious reasons

[westofwords]

while gathering pictures of edwin covered in blood i noticed something!!

pretty much the whole time he’s in hell, it’s like THIS ^ with his non-bloody side in shadows, UNTIL charles comes

and then it’s like THIS ^ with his bloody side in shadows

i haven’t studied cinematography or anything but that’s definitely intentional

[canvascoloredin]

justice for this show
