and you think about how everyone's parents (yours included) want them to be like her. and you recognise how her own parents don't want her so none of it matters. and you think about all the times you came home with the top grade and your parents didn't care. and you wonder if growing up means forgetting how to love.

tbh the first step of recovery is to stop feeling kind of proud about how fucked up you are. your martyr complex is not an endearing quirk it’s the fatal flaw that makes your friends feel like garbage and will sabotage your whole life.

notice how everyone in mary shelley's frankenstein (1818 text) is a woman. much to consider.

dykensteinery

thus is why del toro is a failure. failed to notice this!

and thus is why all should look into our awesome and brilliant WIP, The Modern Prometheus, an indie animated series adaptation of the frankenstein novel 1818-1823-1831 that will, in fact, notice how everyone in mary shelley's frankenstein IS a woman!!

animation by the incredible artist and director @can-of-w0rmz

more information in the hyperlink, but in our show one of the themes we aim to close in on is gender and victors femininised narrative, the subversion of gender roles in the novel and all! amazing thing is that one of our writers, @frankingsteinery, is working on a formal analysis on transfeminity in frankenstein, so soon you'll get to hear our shared thoughts on it cohesively.

please consider funding us on our patreon for the pilot!

Akutagawa – Dazai – Atsushi: An analysis about their relationship

And why Dazai treats them so differently.

The symbolism of Atsushi and Akutagawa:

From their outward appearance and their design alone, Atsushi and Akutagawa are meant as opposites, but they’re also a duality:

Both wear black and white clothes, but whereas Atsushi is mostly white with a streak of black, Akutagawa wears mostly black with a streak of white. It’s even represented in their hair colours.

Besides this, there are many other things that mark their oppositeness and their duality to each other:

Atsushi is a member of the ADA, while Akutagawa is a member of the PM. Atsushi’s ability colour is blue, Akutagawa’s ability colour is red. Being a member of the ADA makes Atsushi someone who works for the “light and day”, Akutagawa is someone who works for the “darkness and night.” Atsushi loves cats, Akutagawa hates dogs. Atsushi’s ability takes the form of a tiger, Akutagawa’s ability represents a dragon, both creatures are important elements in Asian mythology. Ultimately, Atsushi symbolizes life or is associated with life, while Akutagawa symbolizes death or is associated with death.

Considering this, the title Shin Soukoku (Double Black) isn’t even a fitting name for them, since they both aren’t simply a double, as both Mori and Fukuzawa or Dazai and Chuuya were.

See I don't think Sherlock and Watson had much of a pining phase. I don't think it makes sense for them despite the raging homophobia and queer panic of the era they were active in. I don't think Holmes's 1) deductive prowess 2) autistic rizz would allow for a long period of gay pining.

Holmes knew from the get go that Watson looked at both men and women with admiration. He's got the greatest observation skills and deductive prowess of an era. It doesn't take much to notice Watson NOTICING EVERYONE with gusto, he's hardly subtle about his thirsty descriptions of men and women alike, even in his writing. He's a former army man. A significant number of his former associates from the army have decidedly "languid" (late 19th century queer coded) qualities. This dude, even if he has yet to partake of any homosexual activities himself, is no stranger and holds no medical objections. (Particularly if you think of him as being based on Doyle, who wrote some very sympathetic, very progressive medical things on homosexuality in his day.)

And then you have Sherlock. Of strange habits. Uncouth. Very direct and to the point Sherlock Holmes. He's not rude, not by any sense of the word, he's too kind by nature, but he doesn't brook any bullshit and has a low tolerance for artifice for artifice's sake. And he's DEFINITELY queer. (I did a whole academic presentation basically low key proving by the end Doyle KNEW what he was doing. That was a QUEER man Doyle was writing.)

This queer disaster, on a cocaine bender after not sleeping or eating for three days, emotionally disregulated in the wake of a case, will turn to the doctor Watson who is desperately and unsuccessfully trying to herd him into bed and feed him a sandwich simultaneously and say something along the lines of "My friend, your doting, as symptomatic of a larger altruistic nature, is one of your more attractive qualities. And I do find you devastatingly attractive, my dear Watson."

And, Poor beleaguered Watson, so distracted as he is by trying to get Holmes to eat and sleep before he actively collapses on the floor of their rooms (which he has done. Many a time.), doesn't pause to think about that before replying "And I'm absolutely besotted with you as well, good chap, but please can we discuss this OVER A GOOD MEAL after you've had a good restorative SLEEP, because damnit man are you TRYING to die???"

And the next morning they were in a relationship neither of them seems to consciously remember entering. Truly the dumbest brilliant gays.

...what is the "sex is just rock climbing" category

It was kind of a joke between me and a friend ("you wouldn't judge someone for having gone rock climbing with a bunch of different people") but honestly the more I thought about it the more I bought into it unironically because:

It is a physical activity done with one or more partners

You should only go rock climbing with people you trust to not let you fall

You should not go rock climbing with someone who is drunk or currently incapable of rational decision-making

Some people get super super super into rock climbing and do not shut up about all the places they have climbed and how many are left on their bucket list and these people are usually men between the ages of 20 and 35 and like it's fine dude I'm glad you're happy but I don't know what most of those mountains even are

While many consider it a fun activity, pressuring someone into climbing when they don't want to (or ignoring their feelings and just dangling them off a cliff,) could cause both psychological and physical trauma

There is no moral value to it whatsoever. Who you have gone rock climbing with (or whether you have rock climbed at all) has no bearing on who you are as a person. Imagine telling someone "it's not that heights make you nauseous, it's just that you haven't found the right person to belay you!" or "you need to save your first time rock climbing for someone special." That would be absurd.

For some people it is a deep and moving personal experience.

historically I have not asked myself "will this aggravate my hip flexor injury" before participating when perhaps I should have 😔

By this point Loch Ness is probably the inland body of water we can be most sure doesn't have a monster in it.

fandomsandfeminism

When I was 16, I went of a trip with a bunch of other G/T high schoolers to the UK and Ireland.

We visited Loch Ness. The guy who was in charge of our tour seemed to be an exhausted university intern who, with deep annoyance, informed us that NO there is not a monster.....but the tourist money *meaningful look at all of us* was too good to not play into.

And I respect that.

it’s actually really easy to satisfy audiences with Good Representation. you can’t depict someone struggling with their Otherness because that portrays it in a bad light but you have to depict them struggling with their Otherness because if you don’t, then you’re romanticizing how hard it is to be Othered. be super careful not to depict anything that might be adjacent to a common stereotype but if you go too far to avoid all stereotypes, then you’re still building the characters around stereotypes, which is a stereotype in its own way. if your storyline uses tropes, then it’s cliche, but if it avoids tropes, then it’s inauthentic. if you lampshade any of this, then you’re speaking down to your audience but if you don’t acknowledge this, you’re also speaking down to your audience. this is all really easy stuff i don’t know why people don’t get it.
