Tell me in the comments: are you from a country that speaks predominantly English? Was any Shakespeare required in your education?
whats the point of anything anymore. no readcomiconline. shut the entire internet down.
i don't mean to be That person but the recent dedicated poisoning of every archival space imaginable is extremely scary. news outlets blocking off the wayback machine?? the z-lib takedown that had happened? now this....
admittedly we don't know if readcomiconline is definitively down but their discord server is gone too. this doent look good.
fuck it, i'm curious. reblog and tag with the first fictional death to ever rewrite your brain chemistry and/or make you cry like a baby. mine was ares from the underland chronicles (who, for context, was a giant bat.) to this day i will weep if i think too hard about it. okay, go.

Out of all the incorrect names used in the fandom because of the unofficial English translations of the novels, the Cavalry thing is the only one that genuinely bothers me. Especially because of how few people use the actual name, including the Wiki of all things.
It's not just a name the author randomly chose for the sake of having something to call the story's central group. Kishiar canonically put a lot of thought and care into naming the Arcane Legion, as he's done with everything he's named so far.
And he even explains how and why he named it that in the novels (Chapter 798):
"I named it to imply a power that was sometimes magical, sometimes a weapon."
"I initially wanted it to mean that the Awakened are no less than mages or Sword Masters and possess a power as great as the combination of both."
How would 'Cavalry' relate to either of Kishiar's intended meanings?
The name 'Arcane Legion' is exactly what Kishiar wanted it to be: Arcane (Magical) and Legion (Weapon), and combined together sounding both strong and formidable, perfect for a group of people meant to be the pillars supporting the empire.
Hey! Spin this wheel of Every Pokémon!
This is now your Pokémon Partner. Whatever you would want to do in the Pokémon world, your Result goes with you. It would be your Ace in Battles and/or contests or they might just help you around with your regular Not-Inherently-Pokémon Job or just hang around your house as your beloved Pet. If you really really want to BE a Pokémon than this is the Pokémon you just turned into.
How are you feeling about it?
HELL YEAH!! THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE POKEMON!!
OH!! I LOVE THIS POKEMON!!
Yeah, this Pokemon is great!!!
This Pokemon is good!!
This Pokemon is nice, but nothing more
...I mean, it could be better
This Pokemon is okay…
I have mixed feelings about this Pokemon…
Not bad, but I’m still kinda disappointed…
Well… it could be worse?
I mean, at least it’s better than NOT having a Pokemon, right?
OH NO THIS IS ACTUALLY WORSE!!
The parental writing in A Wicked Tale of Cinderella's Stepmother is so fun. I love how Mildred is a wonderful mother but still very much has her flaws. She loves her children dearly but she is constantly putting Iris and Lily's looks down in her mind. She is not free of the biases she was taught growing up herself- biases that the original Mildred would have had even more strongly enforced because looks and beauty are what determine a woman's value in upper society. Those thoughts are never voiced aloud or even reflected in how she interacts with them- which is what makes her an exceptional mother. She wants her children to be free of those biases while at the same time being realistic and not pushing an empty optimism.
Lily is the best example of this. Mildred would love to let Lily live at home her entire life and paint, but she knows that isn't realistic and will limit what Lily can do later in life. Not to mention what Lily will do if something happens to Mildred. She wants Lily to pursue what she wants while keeping Lily open to all the options available to her. It is also true that Mildred is incredibly pushy about the idea of Lily marrying- a case of Mildred's expectations carrying over into her interactions with her daughters. She's pushy about it with all of them because in her eyes, being married is not only a part of them growing up but also something that is needed for them to be happy. However, despite this, when Casey asks to be engaged to Lily, Mildred says he must get Lily's approval first before she will agree. She also pushes Lily to be a painter while setting up things without her daughter knowing to try and make a world where Lily can be a painter without scorn from high society.
I love how things shake out with Iris as well. Iris being the eldest daughter, having seen what Mildred has done to support them after their father died, is determined to take some of that burden away. It's her belief that she needs to be responsible for her family, and it pushes her to accept the idea of being married to a wealthy prick who is way too old for her just so she can support her family better. Mildred handles it with a lot of grace- including almost snapping and killing the guy <3 But really, Mildred wants so much for her girls to just grow up as they please. She introduces them to adult responsibility at a pace that's best for them- including making allowances for Ashley considering how much she was stunted by her father's neglect.
The story handles parenthood in such a grounded way and has all the children being complex three dimensional figures. It feels so realistic, including the areas where Mildred messes up. Because parenting is never perfect but it is people trying their best.
One of my goals for this year is to both read more and to talk more about the things I read. And for some of the more obscure things I read which have readers but not too many people talking in depth about them that I've seen here on Tumblr I really want to get into it. First up: A Wicked Tale of Cinderella's Stepmother
The basic summary is that a modern day person is transmigrated into the body of Mildred, the stepmother in the famous Cinderella fairytale. Now she must find a way to secure a future for her two daughters while not falling on the wrong side of the fairytale.
I am so sad this manhwa is still on a hiatus after its last season because it is one of the most enjoyable of its genre out there. There is so much to compliment about how it chooses to tell its story, the characters, the central romance, etc. etc. But what I want to talk about is an underrated aspect of any isekai stories: justifying the isekai elements. There are plenty of stories that I've read where I've said to myself "this would be a much better story if the isekai never happened." Or stories where it feels as if the isekai element is just set dressing to allow for a certain setup and then never truly relevant to the story or characters beyond certain character tropes that come with is. Thus, I love when stories go out of their way to show the forces that allowed for such a thing to happen and have it integrated into the worldbuilding. And this story has it all. When we are introduced to our protagonist, it's one week after she has been transmigrated into Mildred's body. Starting out, our protagonist is very much a typical isekai protagonist. She draws a very clear line of separation between herself and Mildred as people, considers the world around her with detachment, and very much carries her modern sensibilities with her. Things like this comparison between Mildred and herself solidify that she considers herself to still be a separate person from the original Mildred.
And yet despite the clear separation of herself from Mildred, the protagonist is incredibly sympathetic towards the original Mildred for things that a reasonable person would be outraged and confused by- mainly Mildred's hatred and abuse of Ashley.
This immediately sticks out as odd- because we've seen our protagonist bemoan how Mildred treated Ashley and yet in the same breath you can clearly see that the original Mildred's emotions are present enough and have a decent influence over our protagonist's thoughts and emotions.
Reblogs in a chain now get their own notes
The reblog chain is one of the things that makes Tumblr unlike anywhere else. All the notes on reblogs are attributed to the original post, no matter which branch people actually liked or reblogged. We want to keep encouraging conversations, and give contributors the recognition they deserve.Â
Soon, you'll be able to like, reblog, or reply to any part of a reblog chain, and that note will go to that reblog's author. Each reblog will have its own counts, instead of one aggregated number from every version of the post. And yes, you’ll be able to like multiple posts in one chain.
If a reblog doesn't add anything, the love flows up to the last person in the chain who did. Your post doesn't lose notes just because people spread it quietly.
Past notes will stay on the original post — we're only changing what happens from here on out. Retroactively re-attributing all of them would be... a lot.
This is just the beginning. More changes are coming as we keep building this out – stay tuned!
It’s very clear that you all have strong feelings about Tumblr and about this change. We hear you. The passion people have for how Tumblr works is one of the things that makes this place special.
As this rolls out over the next few days and you explore it, we’ll keep reading your replies and reblogs, so please keep sharing your questions, concerns, and ideas.
Your creativity has always been the heart of Tumblr, whether you’re the original poster or adding something brilliant in the reblogs, and nothing about this change is meant to limit that.
If you’d like to talk directly beyond the comments, leave a reply and we’ll follow up with as many of you as we can. We want to work with you to make Tumblr better.
hey folks do we like this. reblog without commentary for reach
do we want this?
yes
no
i have an important question that may not actually make sense to anyone: what is your favourite game that you have never played?
theres currently furry discourse going on about a movie called GOAT that i literally didnt know existed but is very black-coded and i feel like that says a lot in general
the characters furries are flocking to are less black-coded and also just. i didnt hear anything about this film at all which is SO WEIRD because i hear about furry characters when they're background characters in one episode of a human anime. It feels like a sort of "its falling under the radar because its black coded" sort of thing going on and i really have no reason to disagree. it's a little weird
i literally didnt hear anything about this and much less saw fanart of any of the characters which is kind of insane for a full furry film
This is honestly the Blackest animated movie I've seen in years. Moreso than Spiderverse, even. Like, I'm not really into basketball (and Roarball is also so deep in the fantasy element it barely matters) but I am from a basketball-centric city. That combined with being a Black furry made me go fucking crazy the entire movie. There's a moment where the asshole horse jock is getting his braids done (with Clydesdale hair smh ain't his even real mane) with the natural mane fluffed out and undone and y'all the #representationmatters scream I almost scrumpt.
Like, I ain't surprised at the reception. At all. Black Films that have Black culture this embedded in it rarely do well in the mainstream, and I really didn't expect it to get that much attention. The audience for it, far as I've seen, love it though.
It doesn't reinvent the wheel for a sports movie, but it drives those wheels really damn well. Solid movie, please see it if you have a chance. GOAT is an great time. Also the worldbuilding is dope as hell.
Certified hood classic, no notes
(Also there's an aardwolf in it!!! As a minor character with so much screentime? This might be the first time I've seen aardwolves in like. Anything?????)
(Also also Jett makes me ill omg this leopard is such a blueprint blorbo I feel attacked)
“Every Pokemon is someone’s favourite” I’m making a spreadsheet to see if this is true. Reblog with your favourite Pokemon in the tags.
Here’s the spreadsheet in-progress
This game, about listing as many animals as you can, is shockingly well-considered and polished for such an apparent shitpost of a game idea

Submission 1: Extremely traumatized yet also somehow the most normal and functional by the end. Huge bitch but I (and at least one of the other characters) think he deserves to be even worse after everything he's been through
Submission 2: Simultaneously badass and the most cringefail man. Extremely funny and stylish but still manages to be very uncool. Cries a lot. Also he's lost a lot of tumblr polls—let's give him another shot! We definitely love him more than his dad did!
Submission 3: He's got mommy issues AND daddy issues. He loves his sister and his shige so much. He's traumatised and incredibly competent. He rebuilt his whole sect! He's an asshole (affectionate). He's purple! He's got the coolest weapon ever conceived. I'm so worried about his blood pressure basically all the time.
