This is my main blog

I post sometimes, I also run a roleplay blog on the side. I must warn you, I am DERANGED.

ah, yes, it’s not like the fashioning of a slavic bimbo as a distinctive american cultural archetype could possibly have any nasty real-life implications. especially considering the socio-economic reality of post-soviet countries. or, say, the fact that the sex tourism industry is primarily driven by american men. or the mere existence of the surrogacy industry - again, primarily catering to american couples. or the still very much existent mail bride industry (that the american audiences apparently find so very entertaining that they've managed to turn it into reality tv). or

Tbh I never thought it was that deep. “Hot exotic foreign woman” has been a trope for forever

Have you thought WHY??

[sukifoof]

i need to talk about this scene so bad cuz toby fox has once again perfectly captured grief through asriel. the thing that really gets me about asriels character is the fact that he has no choice but to keep living even though chara is gone and won't come back because that is the reality of grief thats why this has always been one of my favorite scenes!! but then this dialogue happened!!!!

i like to imagine that chara was someone he only knew for a little while. i think them only being down there for a year or two would really show how strongly people and our love for them can affect us. you could know someone for a few months or even days, and think about them for the rest of your life. love is a weird thing. time flies by so fast and things change so quickly and some of the people you lost all those years ago will never get to see it. it really has been a year, five years, ten years already. you have to live through it without them. eventually the grief just becomes the norm of everyday life. sometimes the amount of time you spent grieving someone surpasses the amount of time you knew them for but that doesn't mean you love them any less.

because asriel is so focused on what he lost rather than looking to the future, he never really gets used to the grief. grief always comes back, whether its anniversaries or holidays, but it's something he's constantly thinking about, almost like a form of self punishment. he can't stop thinking about chara because they're not here to see this and that's not fair. why should he be allowed to live if chara couldn't? he's sitting there thinking about what he could have done differently, how maybe if he had done something differently he would have gotten a happier ending, what it would be like if chara was still here... but that won't get him anywhere. ten years have passed either way. time passes whether you want it to or not. he's so focused on the happy times he spent with chara and what could have been that he's refusing to live in the present. everything he loved is getting further away and he's desperately grasping onto a time that is long gone.

understanding that there's a whole world out there that has yet to be seen and loved is the most important change in his character. it shows that he acknowledges that he needs to keep living for himself. up until now he's been living as if he's dead, stuck in the past with the idea of chara. chara will be someone he loves for the rest of his life but he needs to remember why he misses them so much. they aren't just their death and the hole they left behind. they aren't the key that will fix everything. chara was only one person and there are so many people like chara and frisk out there who are still here. chara was a person that he knew and loved for a little while. they'll be with him forever despite being gone now, but flowey's still here. despite everything, he has to choose to let go of his grief and keep living.

sometimes i think of people who never made it to the tenth anniversary and all the things they've missed. so much has happened that id love to tell them about it some day, but there would be nothing to tell them if i were too busy focusing on what could have been. the past is the past, and it can be painful to know that things can't be changed and that some people aren't coming back, but there's still so much to experience even though they're gone. there's so many things and people to love that you haven't met yet. you can't hate the world that you're going to live in for the rest of your life!! the world is as big as you want it to be!!!

It also genuinely really bothers me how so many people's "pro fat" posts are along the lines of "Yeah, fat is fine/good, eat whatever you want as much as you want!" Like yes that's a good sentiment and yes fear of fatness is what causes so many people to eat less than they otherwise would. I Understand This. But it's important to me that people understand. Someone being fat does not actually mean they eat more than a thin person does. Just because you're ostensibly defending or praising the fat body does not mean you aren't partaking in dangerous stereotyping

Only day you can reblog this

[vampantheon]

on the topic of disabled characters, though, i think a LOT of artists give characters mobility aids that their character wouldn't actually benefit from using.

i'm sort of having a mild brain fog moment rn so i can't fully articulate what i'm on about, but i think a lot of able-bodied artists view things like canes and crutches as interchangeable. and they often don't know enough about the wide range of mobility aids to make an informed decision about what their character might actually use based on their disability

i also think that aids like walkers and rollators are sort of viewed as "cringe" on some level, and many people view them to be "just for old people," so many artists will opt for giving a character who has full-body pain and fatigue a cane (which, in many cases, can potentially WORSEN full-body pain) instead. and a lot of people don't realize that most wheelchair users are able to walk, so they don't consider it an option for characters with chronic pain

[vampantheon]

idk it's kind of frustrating. i've genuinely never, ever seen a character that uses a rollator before. not once. i cannot name a single one. i know of multiple ocs who are described to have full-body pain, dizziness, and fatigue that are drawn as cane users and are never shown with wheelchairs or walkers, though

[vampantheon]

it's also sort of sad? i've been diagnosed since i was twelve years old, and i only heard of rollators LAST YEAR. and that was only because i saw one irl and immediately asked what it was. i wonder how many disabled people out there don't even know it's an option solely because they're completely underrepresented online and in media

[vampantheon]

if you're a creative with a disabled oc, PLEASEEE check out this link. it's a very nice and detailed guide for telling which mobility aids suit someone's needs best. it's incredibly important to make the right choice for your character! mobility aids tell you a LOT about someone's lived experience. picking the right one will communicate to your audience #1 what your character goes through #2 that you UNDERSTAND what your character goes through!

if you want to dress gay but aren’t sure how, you need to focus more on finding clothes you actually like and that make you feel good when you look in the mirror. develop your style independently of what you think looks gayest and trust the homosexuality will follow. it goes where confidence and self acceptance are

me, wearing nothing but a sheer plunge-neck ballgown that’s plastered to my skin from the rain, soaking wet and trembling with cold and fatigue as i stand outside the entrance to the castle: p-please help me ;) i’m s-so lost and s-scared ;) ;) i have no where to stay for the night ;) ;) ;)

the sexy vampire lady who answered the door, and to whom the castle belongs: of course ;) you poor thing ;) ;) come inside, you must be freezing… you may stay as long as you need to recover from your ordeal ;) ;) ;)

coming from a nonbinary person whose opposite binary gender to my birth sex was a stepping stone in my journey

the reason i personally think ralsei is a girl and not some form of nonbinary is because of lost girl, "got it, princess", the sheer joy in being a princess in the climbing segment, pink being the most recent lost girl, the context-based line about the butler outfit (the butlers in queen's mansion are men and women, in flower castle, butlers are implied to be men), and the very subtle pronoun change that implies that it's a first step.
