So. 🙏 I've been killing people,

there's a delicate balance between "seeing something on my dash so often i end up caring about it unexpectedly" and "seeing something on my dash so often that it gets added to the blocked list with extreme prejudice"

Some people might label the relationship between Chise Hatori and Elias Ainsworth as "grooming." However, I strongly disagree. The anime itself frames their relationship as a form of mentorship a story of mutual growth, learning, and understanding together. Here are my reasons.

When Rahab first explained marriage to Elias, she did not explain that marriage implies romance or sex. Elias then interprets "marriage" as a promise of lifelong companionship, more like friendship or family than a romantic union. His proposal to Chise reflects that misunderstanding, especially since it is clear in the first episode that he has no idea what he is talking about, rather than being an attempt to take advantage of her.

Elias cannot truly grasp human emotions or their impact. He is not portrayed as a sexual predator, and I will stand by that. In fact, when he tried to kill Stella and sacrifice her, it was out of jealousy and fear of losing Chise. This demonstrates his monstrous ignorance and immaturity, not a deliberate pattern of manipulation or "grooming."

Elias Ainsworth behaves like a petulant, arrogant child rather than an adult seeking control. His relationship with Chise is complex but not sexual. Most of the plot revolves around both of them learning boundaries, empathy, and what an actual healthy relationship is.

Chise, although vulnerable at the start, makes her own decisions throughout the story. She sets boundaries and challenges Elias, while developing her own identity. This active growth contrasts sharply with the passivity seen in real grooming situations.

In conclusion, Chise and Elias are two flawed characters struggling to understand human bonds. The narrative treats Elias’s behavior as something he must change, while Chise grows stronger and more independent. Their relationship is about growth and understanding, not exploitation.

Holy Yap session 🙏🥶

I spent a good amount of time while first watching the apothecary diaries thinking that a big reveal/point of intrigue would be that jinshi has mind reading powers. No joke full send thought he was telepathic because of his angsty little sighs and shit he made while maomao did her freak monologues in her head. No it just turns out theyre on the same freakuency and he can read that little demon like a book enough to know when her mind is full of crazy shit. The show does become 10x funnier if you do watch it through the lens of jinshi being able to read maomaos thoughts though 10/10 viewing experience

Gyokuyou at tea with Lihua and lihuas like bro she told me to do THIS with my tits that girls a freak freak and gyokuyou is like dayum how does maomao know that shit shes flat as a board damn I miss that little freak let’s call her up right now and see what else she knows, days later shisui is like HOLY SHIT ITS PORN GIRL!

[doorp]

maomao is not the bisexual representation the people asked for and honestly she is not the bisexual representation the people needed, I really dont know what that thing is but no one living or dead has the power to stop her. She showed the emperors concubines elicit porn. She met a woman with tits so huge that she completely ignored everything the woman was saying for a full minute to stare at them silently. She put her androgynous boytoy in a dress and made him dance. Grabbed his dong and called it a decent sized frog. And she did all of this while practicing medicine illegally. Feminism wins

[bicokun]

She did also internally feel bad about calling his frog decent-sized because she was absolutely downplaying its size on purpose.

in the Hollow Knight universe, there are three reasons a bug might attack you on sight:

possessed by evil

generational trauma from the long deterioration of an ancient and proud civilisation

they're just like that

[brushstrokesapocalyptic]

Oh my, I just can't remember when the highly anticipated game Hollow Knight: Silksong is scheduled to release! Perhaps the #silksong tag on tumblr can help me?

what i love the most about gajevy and their ex bad boy x nerdy girl dynamic is that she didn't fix him

levy was never burdened with the responsability to fix this grown man who she would have been 100% justified in hating for the rest of her life

makarov gave gajeel the opportunity for change and he took it. levy gave gajeel the chance to prove he can change, and he proved it

no one can change if they don't want it, and gajeel desperately wanted it. not even for levy, their arc as a couple didn't even start until tenrou, he wanted that shit for himself

DuckDuckGo now lets you hide AI-generated images in search results | TechCrunch

DuckDuckGo's new search feature comes as the internet is being flooded with AI-generated slop.

The filter relies on manually curated open-source blocklists, including the ‘nuclear’ list, provided by uBlockOrigin and uBlacklist Huge AI Blocklist,” DuckDuckGo said in a post on X. “While it won’t catch 100% of AI-generated results, it will greatly reduce the number of AI-generated images you see.

Left: AI filter is off Right: AI filter is on

[rhetoricandlogic]

Another tip for DDG - if you want to permanently get rid of DDG's AI features (which you can turn off in settings, but only temporarily) - for now you can just use noai.duckduckgo.com as your search engine. Works as advertised in the name.

do not forget the patron saint of these weeks that we celebrate ourselves proudly and openly in the streets

her name was Marsha P Johnson, and we have her to thank for so much.

remember, the first Pride was a riot, and she was one of the brave souls who endured it to help carve the path which so many of us walk today. she helped found several activist groups regarding LGBT safety and wellbeing. and she was absolutely radiant, too.

thank you, Marsha. we remember you.
