notice: when viewing my posts, turn off your shipping brain

I like to talk a lot about the dynamics between characters, and the natural inclination of people on tumblr is to assume someone talking about characters is talking about them in a shipping lens, because, yeah, a lot of people do talk about that.

however, when I’m making posts, it’s through a platonic lens (unless clearly stated), so please view the relationship I’m talking about as such. it’s not super important most of the time except I also tend to talk a lot about young characters with really unhealthy non-romantic relationships. so please have faith in me

I was a really soft-hearted little kid who cried a lot and liked to play games about making big families and nurturing things, which, since I was a boy, meant I got the shit kicked out of me a lot by other boys for being girly. Boys were supposed to be tough and fight and compete and try to be the best, you see, that's how our imagination games were supposed to go. And that's what media aimed at boys when I was a kid focused on - heroes who beat the shit out of people and are tough and don't cry et cetera et cetera.

And I learned to like that and see the appeal in that, sure. There are lots of stories that were made for an audience of little boys that I ended up liking. But I always wanted something that told me boys like me, who didn't want to be violent or competitive, who liked nurturing things and making friends, who avoided fights whenever allowed, were valid.

So I was really happy when Steven Universe came around and was exactly that - the kind of show a sensitive little boy like I used to be would have killed to see. And very shortly after that I was crushed when the growing criticism of the show repeated the refrain that it was bad mainly because Steven was a pacifist who cried and didn't want to be violent and liked nurturing things and making friends instead of killing people. I wasn't surprised, no, it made perfect sense people would hate it for being that, but I was crushed all the same.

Our society only accepts a very narrow definition of masculinity, and kindness isn't allowed to play a very big role in it. That's one of the reasons I quit it.

Anyway, I'm a daycare teacher now, and one of the kids in my class is a really sensitive little boy with big feelings and a bigger heart, who acts very nurturing to his little 3-D printed dragons, and gets very upset at how mean and rude the other little boys can be when they're trying to prove they're mature and tough. Recently he's been talking to me about a show he found and has fallen in love with called Steven Universe, and I've been delighted to hear him regale me about how much he loves it. I bet it's doing him some real good to see that it's ok for a little boy like him to have a big heart and to want to make friends instead of fight all the time. He's making up his own crystal gem OC too, isn't that nice?

Meursault (limbus company) is aromantic bisexual to me. Except that he thinks he's straight because he's never examined his emotions in his whole life and is like "having fully penetrative sex with a man does not make me homosexual because I value it for the physical sensation alone and feel no semblance of love"

I think its having kuro, jeongs office, xichun and now aeng-du IDs in a fairly short turnaround. Kira Ishy broke the trend but it immediately started back up again.

Okay I straight up forgot about Jeong's Office that makes more sense

[firestorm09890]

Why is it weird that Ishmael keeps getting IDs for explicitly East Asian factions and characters but no one makes as big a deal for everyone else who's ever got a Blade Lineage/Kurokumo ID (which is all 12 sinners)?* This is a genuine question

*Xichun Ishmael is a different story, Carmen had to introduce a whole new concept for how mirror worlds work there, I'm not referring to that one (edit: by this I mean I get why this one is weird, not that I don't count it amongst the trend)

Recently there have been theories popping up debating if Meur used a gun or a camera - the latter would give extra reason as to why he decided to stalk Vespa for a little bit, his being a taboo hunter back then n all. Hong Lu is also getting the ID of what seems like an S corp taboo hunter, so it'd match the theme.

Dunno if the 'shooting' double entendre exists in KR though, and thats what a lot of people first made the connection through.

That's interesting. I'm a little conflicted on it. It would make Meursault's story more kafkaesque (notably represented by an entirely different sinner) and take him from someone intentionally very easy to hate and argue about to someone who's a lot easier to feel compassion for (seeing as every other time someone has suffered from N Corp's anti-recording law, it has been painted as being unnecessarily harsh). Then again, I expected a lot less compassion for Ryōshū and Faust too (the final four sinners being the ones whose source characters did some really bad shit) and then it turned out they were/are kind of in the torment nexus, so maybe all 4 of these last sinners will get that treatment and it'll be a statement on how The City is constructed in a way that not only encourages but forces violence amongst its citizens, or something like that. I don't know. Speaking in terms of personal desires though if Meursault did use a camera and not a gun that could mean the end of racist shooter Meursault jokes and that would be awesome
