So There Was This Moshpit @kingkas-moon - Tumblr Blog

been watching a lot of wolf clips lately and I love how when you have a social species that doesn’t have hands so they have to get creative with how they annoy each other. sit on sister's head. hit her with a flying tackle. full body bothering.

As someone watching Witch Hat Atelier for the very first time, it’s very cool and important to me how the lesson that all four episodes of it (so far) keep on hammering down into my head seems to be that deliberately and systemically keeping people ignorant for the sake of Peace and Safety is never a good idea.

Violating people’s autonomy by erasing their very own memories, their knowledge of their own history and culture, as well as their understanding of the very basic mechanisms with which their entire world was built upon, even if under the premise of trying to stop large-scale fatal conflicts like wars, is still deeply horrific. An abuse of power, even. It’s such a utopian (dystopian) solution to a complex problem. Like, imagine if the majority of our world’s population were prohibited from knowing how something like electricity worked because it’s also used to run death machines and share dangerous ideas, and we were prohibited from knowing or even watching how electricians worked, or how electrical devices are created.

Coco has this mix of naïveté and curiosity that is dangerously magnified by how she and the people like her (“outsiders”) had been stripped off of their ability to know, understand, access, and use magic the way witches do. She has an enormous thirst for knowledge about magic, not only because her entire life even as a “normal” kid is so entrenched in it, but also because she’s been so deprived of the knowledge of how it works—something that is so fundamental to their very lives. That desire of hers to explore magic—a trait that is encouraged in actual witches and their apprentices (at least to a degree)—is the very same trait that eventually leads her to pursue knowledge of magic ignorantly and disastrously, because there was no one there to guide and teach her properly, as it is prohibited.

Both before and even after becoming an official apprentice, Coco is constantly put in dangerous situations born from her own ignorance—and in many cases, how was she even supposed to just know the things she needed to know? How, when entire institutions were built to make sure that she doesn’t? She copies exciting spells that she doesn’t understand from a grimoire that she thought was just a harmless children’s book—a fitting, if not a deliberate narrative choice, as I see it, with how deeply intertwined this story is to the topic of censorship—and ends up putting her and her mom in grave danger. She enters a dangerous trial that she was pressured into because she didn’t know that she didn’t have to. She taps Agott while she was drawing a spell because she didn’t know that she wasn’t supposed to.

Maybe those mistakes would be seen as issues of “common sense” by some witches, but they aren’t to her, because she didn’t grow up with magic the way they did, and she has to learn stacks of information that is already instinctual to others. And it truly doesn’t help that, from what I can tell, Coco has never known about, witnessed, or experienced any seriously harmful magic before unintentionally casting one herself, and a huge part of that is surely because of the fact that the history and mechanisms of magic is next-to-unknown to non-witches, and all the magic she’s interacted with beforehand were completely harmless.

Magic, in their world, is their science, their history, their tools, their culture, and their art. How many brilliant, curious, and creative minds like Coco are being gatekept from ever understanding it? Who gets to decide which people gets access to such knowledge and which people don’t?

How do I explain to you people that interracial relationships are okay

Not every white person dating a POC is fetishizing. White people can be respectful and responsible when it comes to culture and relationships and not everyone has bad intentions.

Asian people can date Black people without you saying shit like “your kids will be so pretty” they’re not dating for pretty kids. They’re dating bc they like each other.

Someone can dress their partner in clothing from their culture if they want. Someone can take their partner to cultural events if they want.

People in relationships can share cultures, experiences and love without it being toxic or skin deep.

Their partner isn’t culturally appropriating. Their partner is being shown the ultimate form of love, bc their partner trusts them and loves them enough to share their history and heritage.

Yeah, dating someone from your culture is nice bc you automatically have similar experiences. But you’re not limited to dating people with the same experiences. Loving someone is sharing and growing and being together.

Interracial relationships aren’t always toxic, and some of y’all need to stop projecting onto other people.

Calling ineterracial relationships toxic or fetishizing just seem like anti race mixing or racism with extra steps

Happy Dragon Striker Release day!!!

Dragon Striker is out on Disney + since today! It's a wonderful anime-inspired serie that has completely stole my heart from the moment I started working on it. It's definitely worth the watch so please check it out!

I haven't been posting much these past years, well, it was because of these two trouble makers above, the drama twins, Casper and Callista! It feels silly to say, but, they have come to mean so much to me in ways that is hard to explain. I'm so excited to be FINALLY able to share these HUNDREDS of fanarts and comics i've made of them these past years and couldn't show you until now!

But most of all, I hope that you will enjoy the show, and that you will love them too.

I hate that when you’re stressed enough your body just starts falling apart. I think it should realize you’re already stressed and don’t need that and start functioning better actually
