Kei-chan taking a break
Hey all!
Iâm going to take a Tumblr break starting in a couple of days. Given the drama re: Tumblr at the moment, and the fact that Iâve got far too many social media accounts in general, this will most likely lead to me deleting my account entirely.
If youâd like to get in contact with me, Iâll be checking my Dreamwidth and Pillowfort accounts (same username: kawaiigami).
protip if a nerd dude tries to give you a pop quiz about the fandom on your shirt/bag/cosplay by asking you to answer a banal and obscure trivia question to prove youâre a Real Gamer, turn the question back on him. ask him about the thematic implications that bit of trivia has on the actual story. ask him about the character development and motivations of the minor characters heâs making you list. ask him if he thinks the major in-universe event heâs testing you on was successful in carrying forward the underlying tone and intent of the work itself. ask him about fucking literary devices. you know that one super tough and intimidating lit teacher everyone encounters at least once in their lifetime? become that teacher. make him sweat.Â

I canât express how upset it makes me that shyness in women is sexualized, anger in women is sexualized, ignorance/ lack of intelligence is sexualized, intelligence is sexualized- being a woman is being sexualized for everything you feel or do.
But if youâre a sexual woman, youâre demonized
Whoop there it is.

I was changing the batteries in the Food God (automatic cat feeder) and the Boyes were very concerned
they are so sweet, their little cries, heartwrenching. appease the Food God quickly human!
I love this
Eh, while itâs great that these characters are independent, something about all these princesses of color not finding love at the end of their movies rubs me the wrong way. Just like how Disney patted itself on the back for a black princess but she was Frogger damn near the whole movie.
And it wouldâve been a great opportunity to cast moc in romantic roles from that culture :/
^^^ Iâm so conflicted because yes, always having a love interest is annoying but poc never get to have a love interest
Having the princesses of color not find love reinforces the idea that we have to strong and independent and arenât needing of any support
But I do like it because it deviates from the norm
It might be cool if they had dudes in the movie who were interested and they had the princesses be like, ânaw, I got shit to do, but maybe later!â
Cause then it would obviously be a choice, instead of a worldstate that WoC donât get hetero love (Iâm not even gonna wish for queer love).
This is actually a good example of the need for intersectional feminism.
 it is very common that white girl characters have love interests and finding love be the plot line and basis for all their stories and interactions.
It is uncommon for a girl character of color to be seen as a potential love interest, in need of defense by a male character and/or support from a male character full stop.
This is because of the history of social devaluation of woc and infantilization of white women.
Thusly:
 it is subversive for white female characters to not have love interests for once and to focus on strength outside of male attention.
while at the same timeÂ
is it subversive for woc to be love interests and treated with care and reverence and with support in relationships on screen.Â
The ânormsâ for two groups of women are different based on the historical interaction both groups have had to suffer under patriarchal and sexist/racist media.Â
This is why its okay to feel hurt and roll your eyes when you see people screaming about how michonne from the walking dead âdont need no manâ because sheâs too âstrongâ to want to be desired and cared for,  while at the same time feel hurt and roll your eyes when Black Widow is suddenly too helpless to get herself free from a basic ass cage and needs to be rescued by her randomly inserted love interest.Â
@drwhothefuckyouthinkyoutalkinto @itsmikuisa @bougiebussy (the others dont have tagging on i dont think)
This is low key racist. Because they gave us decades of white girls falling in love until everyone got sick of it. And when they started creating princesses of color suddenly none of them want love? I guess itâs so easy now to create âindependentâ princesses because they donât think women of color deserve love anyway. Why not appease the white girls while reinforcing this stereotype, kill two birds with one stone!
i really want to normalise the idea amongst lgbt youth that its okay to switch labels as you further understand your identity. youâre not a traitor or a fake if you realise youâre bi instead of a lesbian, or if youâre a trans woman instead of a gay man. itâs really difficult and scary to be lgbt and itâs doubly hard to deal with a shifting identity amongst all that so⊠be kind to yourself. youâre learning and figuring yourself out and nothing is set in stone. let yourself figure out what feels most comfortable to you. and for those who are secure in their lgbt identities, particularly adults, donât make kids feel bad for switching between labels. weâve all had identity crises in our lives, so provide support and understanding rather than unforgiving attitudes.
this post is not an excuse to jump on the âof course you canât label yourself at a young ageâ bandwagon either. young people who stick with and feel comfortable in an identity from an early age are just as valid as you are.
Additionally, on the other side of this - if you know someone who switches labels, itâs also your job to not make them feel like a traitor or a fake. If youâre their friend or you say you support them, then be their friend and support them. If you donât understand how they could say they were one thing however long ago and now itâs something different, this is your chance to learn, not reject.
And if they later choose to go back to their original label, then they still werenât faking it. Those were the feelings they had at the time.
Role swap au where Zuko was the Avatar who got frozen for a hundred years, so when heâs rescued from the ice instead of a goofy twelve year old Katara catches this mysterious teenager with long hair and a cool scar and a fucking DRAGON
Katara: BOY???? HOT BOY?????? HOT TEENAGE BOY?????????
Zuko: *speaks*
Katara: nevermind I hate him
How does Aang factor into this? I ask because the more I think about it the more I want him to somehow be trying to capture the Avatar.
Aang is 112 years old, decided he was going to be Zukoâs airbending teacher, and refuses to take no for an answer
Aang: Aw, the new Avatar doesnât want me. Aang: *gets out a weighted net* Time for Plan B then.
JDJSHJABDBFJSH
Look, you know how you keep a net from falling on you? YOU AIRBEND IT, SUCKA. Air comes right after fire in the cycle so itâs not like the guy has any other options. Do you want a flaming net falling on you? No? Then learn to airbend. Or this tiny old man will cart you away like a trussed turkey and lecture you about the power of laughter, going with the flow, opening your chakras, and other hippie shit.
Sokka, slouching against a fence, not moving: Oh nooooooo, that creepy old man stole the Avataaaaaaaaaar. Sokka, sitting down on the ground: We should dooooo something. Sokka, pulling out his lunch: Otherwise he might actually learn something. That would be teeeerrible. Katara, indignant rage coursing through her body: Sokka!!!!!!!! We have to go look for him!!!! Sokka: Might! Actually! Learn! Something! Katara! Katara: *wavers* Katara, also sitting down: We have to go look for himâŠ. *gets out her own sandwich* But, maybe after lunch.
I love that this transforms Aangâs role in the full Team Avatar familial situation from the baby of the family to the Grandpa with weird hobbies
Trying to puzzle out how this might happen, and hereâs what Iâve come up with:
Zuko exists a century earlier, but still as prince of the fire nation, and with the avatar cycle falling such that itâs the fire nationâs turn. For the sake of this story, letâs not move the rest of the family tree, and just say that this means he is son of Sozin, and older brother to Azulon. It has recently been revealed to the young prince that he is the avatar. The first Fire Nation colonies were established before Zukoâs birth, and his whole life heâs been hearing how one day his nation will reign supreme over all others, how this is destiny taking its course.
His father wants him to make a display of the avatarâs power to the Air Nomads, who are expected to be the most powerful opposition to the Fire Nationâs plans. Zuko agrees, eager to please his father and serve his country. He only learns as they are en route that by âdisplay of powerâ his father means, âkill them all.â Zuko doesnât want to be a traitor to his country, but he canât betray his role as the avatar, either. His nation may have a destiny, but so does he. He is supposed to provide balance between the elements, not bring about the destruction of one. He confronts Sozin privately, says he wonât do it. Sozin calls him a traitor, says heâs a sorry excuse for a prince and undeserving of the power of the avatar. A fight ensues, in which Zuko receives his scar and escapes into the storm on the back of his dragon companion, Fang.
The storm is fierce, but Zuko canât stop for shelter. He has to warn the Air Nomads. Of course, he doesnât make it. The storm overpowers him; he is frozen in the ice.
Aang is not the avatar, but still the youngest airbending master in recorded history. He and his compatriots put up a hell of a fight, but theyâre no match for the power of the comet. Aang narrowly escapes with his life, and only goes when heâs sure thereâs no one left for him to save.
The story is that Prince Zuko, the last Avatar, was killed at the air temple, and that with no new airbenders for the power to pass on to, the cycle has ended. Aang doesnât know what the prince looked like, and in his angriest moments, he hopes he was the one who ended the boyâs life. The power of the Avatar should never have been used that way.
Aang becomes a hermit in the hills of the Earth Kingdom, and spends his life giving shelter and food and hope to refugees who cross his path. He lives a hundred years after the genocide.
Heâs out gathering food when he sees it: far in the distance, a pillar of light, rising into the sky. A phenomenon that nature could never have created. And suddenly, he understands whatâs happened: somehow, the Avatar is out there. And Aang has lived a hundred and twelve years for a greater purpose than he ever knew.
man the crazy thing about babies is that like, some people would think that reading a baby a book about farm animals is teaching them about farm animals, but really itâs teaching them about the concept of a book and how thereâs new information on each page of a single object, but really, beyond that, itâs teaching them how language works, and beyond that itâs really actually teaching them about human interaction, and really really itâs them learning about existing in a three-dimensional space and how they can navigate that space, but actually, above all it is teaching them that mama loves them.
hot take:Â
Gloin is the sexiest dwarf by dwarf standards.
Kili is the sexiest dwarf by elf standards.
Thorin is the sexiest dwarf by human standards
& Bombur is the sexiest dwarf by hobbit standards
#ITS TRUE AND YOU SHOULD SAY IT #(ALSO THORIN AND KILI BEING âUGLYâ BY DWARF STANDARDS IS AMUSING CONTENT)
further take: Kili is straight-up ugly by dwarf standards. Thorin is like, the dwarf equivalent of Benedict Cumberbatch. Some dwarves think heâs an absolutely dreamboat, others think he is super weird looking, thereâs very little middle ground.
omg now iâm like. what does this make frodo by hobbit standards
by hobbit standards, Iâm afraid Frodo is probably. not conventionally attractive at all.
This makes Sam the hot friend of the group, which is so fucking valid
Frodo is the hot one by elf standards.
Merry is the hot one by human standards.
Sam is the hot one by hobbit standards.
Pippin isâŠdefinitely a Took.

Hey there! =) This is based on the story of real people from 18th century Sweden, Ulrika StĂ„lhammar and Maria Löhnman. A bunch of years ago when I first read about them I was so impressed, I still wasnât used to the sort of stories that people wouldnât believe in a movie (will I ever be?), and since I wished to make a comic about them.
Thereâs so many stories like that I feel need to be shared, people that usually wouldnât be welcomed finding ways to reach happiness anyway, whatever that meant for them, no matter the period or place. And as more time passes more of us succeed in that.
I intended to put this up on Gumroad, but in the end I didnât feel like charging. Making this bit by bit helped me to keep my sanity this last month and I hope it can bring you some good feelings as well.
Bedtime cuddles
look at this fucking baby
i canât fucking believe this wtf wtf wtf wtf
