There are a couple of things about current shipping culture that confuse me.  

1. The focus on whether or not a pairing will become canon as a reason people should ship something or not.  Do you not understand what the “transformative” part of “transformative works” means?”

2. This idea that saying “I ship that” means “I think that, as presented in canon,this is a perfect, healthy relationship that everyone should model their relationship after.” 

Sometimes shipping something does mean that.  Sometimes shipping something means “Person A is a trash bag who doesn’t deserve person B but I would love to explore how Person A might grow to deserve Person B.” Sometimes it means “I want these characters to live together forever in a conflict free domestic AU.”  Sometimes it means “I want Person A to forever pine after Person B.  Nothing is beautiful and everything hurts.”  And sometimes it just means you like their faces and want to see Person A and Person B bone in various configurations and universes.

This really should be one of a handful of Public Service Announcements randomly and chronically inserted into one’s dash.

Hell man sometimes it means “these two are TERRIBLE and I want to watch them burn like a catastrophic forest fire as a proxy for all the shit I don’t actually want in real life (like to light my own apartment on fire and scream) and then laugh at the destruction at the end.”

All “I ship it” really means – really – is “I think there’s a story in those two, and I want to hear it.”

Studio Bones did some gorgeous work on impact/transition frames in Mob Psycho, especially considering most people aren’t going to pay attention to them at all. Genuinely some of my favorite shots in the whole show.

Qiyan Agula gender fuckery goes soooo crazy, because like ofc there’s the fact that she’s a woman who was raised as a man and experienced her life as a man but her identity as a man has always been a tool in the path of politics and revenge that others impose on. It’s cultivated through painful and self-destructive medication and Qiyan Agula herself sees it as a sacrifice and self-destructive. At the same time, it’s not accurate to say she is averse to being a man, she takes pride in being the Prince of the Grass Plains (even if the regulation and leveraging of her identity by others to impose expectations on her hurts her) and what it entailed, and while there’s times she wonders about if she had been a woman and never taken that medication, it’s not exactly about her femininity or being a woman but about a Qiyan Agula who had not destroyed her body and tied her sense of self to revenge and whatever skin it demanded she wore till she no longer felt like a person. However even within her identity as a man there’s this feminization she constantly faces that also ties into her identity as Qi Yan from the Jin Clan, and something she utilises to her advantage; and this is most true for her relationship with Nangong Jingnü which is informed by all these different power dynamics, and is constantly stressed to be a reversal of the traditional husband over wife dynamic because Nangong Jingnü holds power over Qi Yan even if Qi Yan’s status as a man allows her power that she doesn’t have. Both of them utilise their select powers in the path of each other (sometimes for what is or they see as the other’s benefit, sometimes to push forward the other as a pawn in their game, it blurs together) in a process that masculinises Nangong Jingnü as she rises in power to the female emperor and cements Qiyan Agula’s feminisation as she constantly loses the masculine political positions she gains in the path of furthering her wife’s power, and becomes Imperial Husband, akin to the role of Empress, and switches places with Jingnü as the one a part of the Back Palace. She actually does enjoy this role reversal to some degree, she wants to be Jingnu’s wife, she is happy when Jingnu emphasises this, but once again it is deeply tied to the reduction of herself to only half of who she is. It’s a process that destroys her body and mind, and traps her in a cyclical process of pain and suffering that she relives at both physiological and psychological levels (her being unable to forget her pain because it’s informed everything she is and how this becomes physical in she loses her memory and wakes up at random intervals of her life), and in the end the only path for her is to be die and be reborn away from all those influences and pressures.

as someone that works in science (biochemistry), but also participates in and deeply cherishes many forms of art, witch hat atelier is so so important to me. i strongly believe that all arts and sciences are inseparable mediums (in that science is a type of art, and art is a type of science, and neither is more important or impactful than the other) and wha is the perfect representation of that concept

to create magic in witch hat atelier takes immense dedication, creativity, and imagination, but the ink that powers their sigils is extracted through the practice of exceptionally thorough and precise chemistry. to spellcast is artisanal and dramatic, almost like a performance, but it also commands a sharp sense of philosophy and critical thought. to draw spells involves considerable artistic skill, but it also requires the specific and symmetric balancing of magical equations, not unlike stoichiometry. to be a witch is to understand the conservation of mass, chemical dynamics, and the innate physical processes, but it is also to know composition, aesthetic theory, and artistry much the same

there’s such a stigma around the codependency of art and science on one another (some stem students like to diminish those who work in the arts on the notion of intellectual superiority, and some art students similarly believe their work to be more significant than scientific disciplines entirely) that it’s incredibly refreshing and almost kind of poetic to get into a fantasy series whose magic system is centric on the combination of those fields. there’s a reason scientists and logicians who take pride in their crafts activate the same neural pathways as artists do while appreciating music and visual media. we wouldn’t subsist as a society without one another, and it’s nice to find a reminder of that in such a whimsical and compelling series like wha
