he was really gay as fuck

[capacity2]

That’s a whole woman

[fuglyjeans]

that's Gaara of the sand post timeskip 15 yrs old the current kazekage (Kage of the sand village) jinchuriki of the two tales shukaku a beast famously for bringing horrible nightmares on its host causing insomnia which is the reason for gaara's distinctive thick "eyeliner" bc he is tired as fuck ironically which makes him look racoon-esque which is the type of animal shukaku is. His tattoo is the Kanji for love which is ironic at first because he has only hatred in his heart and kills other people to feel alive but after having a homosexual interaction with naruto uzumaki jinchuriki of the ninetails kurama who was the only person he ever met who understood his pain then he learned to love for real making his face tat ........really fitting after all

[capacity2]

And she’s transgender

[capacity2]

She’s so much happier now

it's a really incredible attitude that encourages healing and sincerity that we've cultivated towards abuse as a society, where you can talk about the things that happened to you that still regularly wake you up screaming and how that affects the way you experience the world and be told "but what if you were the real source of danger for being able to think about these awful things and put them into words? stay away from other people, you disgusting, dirty freak"

*lying in bed next to a corpse of someone i loved and stroking its hair in a way that makes you hesitant to point it out to me, either because i haven't realised yet and you'd be forcing me to confront a level of grief that you're not sure you can handle, or because i might smile calmly and tell you that i already know and you're not prepared to deal with that either*

I do think the ability to emoji-react is a net win for human communication. not only does it give you an outlet for 'I see and acknowledge this but don't have a verbal response' but it also adds a pleasing alethiometer element to things

my coworker announces that he's off to the dentist. someone reacts with a tooth emoji. is this a statement of dentist solidarity? a wish for my coworker to return with more (or fewer?) teeth than he set out with? simple word association? who can say

I feel like it's possible to judge people's opinions of Luka and Hyuna and how much attention they paid to their storyline solely based on how they see Hyunwoo (is he a friendly boy who did nothing wrong? is he an instigator? is he in love with his sister? is he in love with luka? is he overprotective? is he rooting for lukahyuna? some of these things are supported by canon and some of these are absolutely not!)

[flowery-bastard]

people are all about sun/moon ship dynamics until the sun is a woman and the moon is morally corrupt and then it becomes the least popular ship in the fandom

[flowery-bastard]

Honestly surprised I haven't gotten any absolutely bonkers bad-faith arguments under my Hyuna posts yet... In fact it hasn't happened on Tumblr since that one person that said I was lesbophobic (among other not-so-pleasant things...) for shipping her with Luka a while back

In fact, I haven't even seen any Hyuna posts that make me wanna hit my head against a wall in a long time on Tumblr bc I guess my dash is curated so nicely

Twitter, on the other hand, is truly hell, and every time I go back to look momentarily at what my favorite artists are drawing, there is a 75% chance I will see the most media-illiterate, lazy take about Hyuna ever concieved

And yes this happens to other characters and I hate it but it happens to her a LOT and I really love her so it's more frustrating

[flowery-bastard]

in every AU we have, hyuna is shown wearing cute and stylish outfits, makeup, nail polish, jewelry, etc. and often putting her hair up (usually with a cute claw clip), and the closet thing she gets to being not put-together is that one iconic off the record outfit with the orange crop top, and even then, the fitted top and jeans combo is somewhat fashionable (despite the traffic cone orange lmao)

even in All-In, we see her trying on a bunch of cute and sexy outfits

but. she never stays dressed like that for long in the canon universe. instead she has her hair down most of the time and wears baggy pants and a plain black tank top, or a set of white shorts and a loose t-shirt. the only exception is her stage outfit (which is still somehow dissonant with her actual personality), and since she's shown escaping in that, we can assume that one wasn't her choice, which also factors into things

she clearly wants to dress up and be pretty and express herself with stylish silhouettes and interesting colors, but either she doesn't have the means, or she's always doing something that demands practicality, or else she's half-wasted, or injured, or just. too *depressed* to do anything fun like that.

the times when she's depicted in plain clothing are always the times when she's the least happy.

hyuna......... u are really meant to b a cute bubbly girl........

sobs

[flowery-bastard]

I saw something that made me think of this again and now I'm sad all over again dammit

[flowery-bastard]

I think there is like a full octave's difference between Luka's voice when he is talking to anyone else and Luka's voice when he is talking to Hyuna. This is also evidenced by the songs (looking at you low note in the beginning of Karma) but like, that can be taken as only when singing. No I think his entire voice does a switch-up every time. Someone overhears him talking to her and is like "Do u have a cold or something?" And it's not like he's putting either voice on consciously, it just does that and he doesn't notice

[flowery-bastard]

Okay we didn't get a kiss scene in the main story but can we get a lukahyuna biting scene in the zombie AU please please please please ple--

[flowery-bastard]

From how fucked up zomst is already I actually feel like we have a chance with this one!!!

[flowery-bastard]

Okay I'm thinking about Till for this essay rn and

Asexual Till. I've seen the headcanon before and I didn't quite understand where it came from but now I understand it competely.

Man does not project even a hint of sexual desire outwards, even towards Mizi who he admires for her beauty and enjoys the company of and does by all accounts have a massive crush on.

In any other series I would be like "well he is obviously sexually attracted to her, they just don't show it for modesty reasons" but like. Alien Stage does not shy away from sexuality. Every other main character is implicitly shown to feel sexual feelings about *someone* in the cast if those feelings are present.

Till doesn't show any want for sex on stage or off stage. The closest we get is like, *maybe* his fucked up self-harming after what happened with Ivan, if you really want to interpret it that way, and like, I don't think that quite counts lmao

Asexual Till... I dig it.

[flowery-bastard]

Laughing bc I'm working on an ALNST essay right now and

All of the other guardians successfully groomed their pets into harming others or themselves

even fucking Phan who was not there for Hyuna and Hyunwoo's lives at all managed to create the dysfunctional children that would be "interesting" to them

Meanwhile Urak, who was trying full force to make Till into a specific type of person, failed fucking miserably lmao

I mean I guess he set him up perfectly for Ivan to mess with his head, but in terms of getting anything that he might've wanted out of it? Dude Urak sucks ass at being a horrible alien parent

Unless there are a lot of extra videos, it seems like zomst will be fairly short? After all, next video seems like it will be ivantill's round, and then luka is the final performance. It's not a tournament style this time, so there will be less rounds.

I'm wondering if the high school AU will be a vessel for the other AUs that were mentioned-- like they're having a movie marathon. Meanwhile, whatever weird things are happening in the high school AU will progress in the background, at the same time as the main stories for the other AUs.

[flowery-bastard]

unless it is a tournament style but just with no NPCs? if mizitill have to go against each other that would fucking suuuuuck dude lmao

The rest of the post still stands though
