A trope that gets to me: 'guard dog' character and their partner who are both fully aware of it and honestly don't care/kind of like it. Someone says "call your guard dog off" and their partner does call them off. That person, their 'guard dog', is someone who is unreservedly, irrefutably loyal to them. Someone undoubtedly dangerous who is willing to kill, to maim, to obey, simply because of their love for one another. There's no manipulation involved— it is loyalty, brutal, dogged loyalty. And it goes both ways.

Will u ever make a gijinka/human Lady devoid 👀

[veggiesforpresident]

honestly one of my favorite things about fanfic is when you can see the canon influences come out in really subtle ways. like a canon line thats mentioned once as a throwaway is suddenly the entire premise for a fic or it influences the characterization or something. its just so cool to see how people weave their ideas around a source material, especially if its not a detail i'd thought about before

this is how it feels when someone draws something for you

[weepingchoir]

Everyone overrates the idea of a piece of art being “anticapitalist”. both the people that think Apple TV could possibly have something smart to say and the people that think Apple TV would never ever have something smart to say. The bare truth is that “anti capitalist” is not politically coherent but it’s also a real cry of desperation from artists that live in capitalism and have feelings about it.

[weepingchoir]

Again I’m thinking about my band, which has “anticapitalist” themes because the way the world works fucking sickens me. Some very annoying radlib types would say this is a world shaking act of revolution unto itself. Some very annoying Mao types would say that this is a worthless act of petty individualism. neither of these strains of thought are germane to my truth, that this is kind of the inevitable result of someone with an intellect and a lot of things to say being forced to express herself under conditions of duress.

I'm at a convention for the game of Go with a friend who is almost 84 years old, and he is constantly being accosted by elementary schoolers who want to play him because every year there is a prize for whoever plays a game with the biggest age difference between players.

So every time I go to look for him, I see this:

[draconym]

People in the tags pointing out that this is a great way to get communities to interact: you are extremely correct. There were a lot of kids at this year's go congress (many of them extremely strong players) and it's very funny to watch them roving in packs looking for old people to challenge. At one point when my friends and I were sitting in one of the side rooms, a trio of elementary schoolers marched in and shouted "IS ANYONE HERE OVER FIFTY?"

Presumably so that they could compete for the Elder Slayer award:

Did ya see? my tumblr censored update?

[creatingblackcharacters]

do you have any opinions of any direction on hamilton the musical

Tumblr is a place to express yourself, discover yourself, and bond over the stuff you love. It's where your interests connect you with your

Tl;Dr: I think that while objectively, the production of Hamilton is well done, and the way it helped give Black stage actors a boost in musical theatre, the cultural outcome of it was almost not worth the musical itself. Because now we got people thinking that they can "race blind cast" roles that frankly, you should not be blind about casting. If you're gonna do a diverse cast, you have TO THINK about what story is now being told, but instead we got slave owner Jefferson as Black and all critical thinking thrown out the window.

[creatingblackcharacters]

Like it would be one thing if what we got out of Hamilton as a culture was a hearty respect for the storytelling art of rap and hip-hop, of Black musical theatre actors, and of the sacrifice of Black people that were forcefully bled into this godforsaken settler colony.

INSTEAD we got a love for Hamilton-style Lin Manuel rap and theatre music (with a remaining racist disdain for the rap the rest of Black people perform), the most liberal version of the creation of the United States ever, and most people still probably couldn't name you more than the same four Black people they talk about every Black History Month.

So it's like... The intent was there (to an extent). The production was there. The cultural outcome... 😐 What are we supposed to do with this.

*Stumbles out of the video game shaking and covered in tears* it matters that the love was there 👍

love love love how rgu sets up nanami and touga’s dynamic to be your typical borderline-incestuous anime fetish with nanami’s obsession and deep-rooted jealousy over her big brother being initially played up for laughs, only to reveal the actual incestuous abuse that akio has been subjecting anthy to by having nanami witness and be explicitly horrified by it, then further subverting that anime incest trope by having touga try to force himself on nanami to silence her disgust. it’s just such a genius way to take a common anime trope and reveal the true, perverse nature of it by forcing viewers to face its realities the same way that nanami was forced to

"Your personality comes from the way you were parented" "Your personality is inate and genetic" wrong!!!!! your personality comes from that one piece of media you were unhealthily and irreversibly obsessed with when you were 13 years old

tumblrina[1] culture emphasized a markedly religious view of the "Library"[2], envisioning it as a place that could provide any possible worldly need, such as food[3], every social service[4, 5, 6], and 3d printers[7]. Its bishops, known as "Librarians"[8], were believed to contain infinite patience, wisdom, and knowledge[9]. Adherents were hostile towards the suggestion that not all "Libraries" necessarily provided these things, if such a concept was ever brought to their attention.[10]

The primary association with a Library, in tumblrina culture as well as in society at large, was books and the written word[11]. This is ironic considering, despite frequent verbosity[12], proclaimed superior reading comprehension[13], and often a love of reading and writing[14], many tumblrinas were unable to utilize these abilities in conversation with each other, and in fact, cultivated a very hostile culture[15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20].
