a small thing i learned from my sister dying is that i really would rather the people i love be a burden than be whatever the hell else they'd be if they weren't. yes even if it's messy and not always fair and hard completely inconvenient for everyone involved. even if it's weird. even if i'm rolling my eyes a bit inside sometimes. i just want you to bother me. please always bother me

[fairycosmos]

like "it's rotten work" "not to me not if it's you" actually sometimes it's still rotten work. even if it's you. and i'd still do it a million times over

i was training a young person at work, and she referred to sexual assault as "SA" out loud, and i immediately was like, "no, it's sexual assault, call it what it is," bc idgaf if the algorithm overlords have taught y'all that you should fear direct language, how tf do any of you expect to ever address real issues with any amount of seriousness if you can't even say the words? imagine an advocate looking a sexual assault survivor in the eyes and asking "did he grape you?" it's absolutely fucking absurd, but these young interns and new hires are coming into an environment where we deal with survivors of all different kinds of abuse, and they're coming with the mindset that the words are as bad as the actions, and that makes them shitty at the job and look juvenile af

i HATE self-censorship for a lot of reasons, but being in crisis work makes it even more frustrating. who are you censoring for? like i am being so fr, WHO are you censoring for? have you even thought it through? people who have been raped know that they have been raped. if someone attempts suicide or is grieving someone who did, saying "sewer slide" isn't going to protect them from any of the feelings. a murder victim's family isn't going to feel better bc you said "unalived" instead of murdered. if anything, it's just extremely invalidating and othering. it's saying "what happened to you is so bad that i won't even say the word," which is NOT trauma-informed care. you are not protecting survivors/victims when you self-censor. the ONLY things you protect when you self-censor are the puritanical ideologies that are being encouraged by rich fascists who want your money and obedience

say the fucking words, guys. just say the goddamn words before i go insane!!!

so a while back user luunaanori said that this graffiti of suo is based off Raijin, a japanese god of thunder. and i pretty much think this take is true. and before i get into the chinese counterpart of this god, i wanted to say something about raijin first.

so reading stuff about him again, i saw that raijin is commonly depicted with three fingers— and they represent the past, present, the future. and i cant be the only one who got reminded of these panels

further, he is holding a leaf reminiscent to the one he placed on nirei, right ? i understood the part about him hearing the winds voice as furin, but maybe it doubles as nirei too, because nirei's graffiti was the twin god of Raijin called Fujin, the god of wind

anyway thinking about how nii sensei uses mythology a lot i was curious if there was a chinese counterpart of Raijin and indeed there is; he is called Leigong, the god of thunder in chinese mythology, taoism, chinese folklore, everything. the thunder gods are quite similar, producing thunder by striking their drums

i was looking at like possible differences between the two versions, because i think suo in furin acts differently from sunfei in the red chanpuru. and i think the differences between these two gods kinda fits him

Raijin is like a pure force of nature who tends to be a trickster, which i feel fits suos (relatively) free spirited and mischievous nature in furin

Leigong on the other hand, is more like heavenly authority who metes down divine punishment. he's someone who stands for justice, and almost an avenger kind of role, i think. the description about him being a bird-like creature, and having a smiling face with a righteous demeanor, stands out to me as well

i do feel like these fit the sunfei in rc we've seen, he seems to be more,,, authoritative ? calm, righteous kinda thing. i know we've only seen one chapter so far but like. yeah

MAYBE IM BEING BIASED but like certain aspects of this Raijin/Lei Gong are fitting in very neatly for suo/sunfei for me and that makes me happy

but yeah im hoping that someone who's knowledgeable in chinese and japanese culture/mythology also maybe kind of writes about this im just like. googling stuff lol. for me it was fun to think about though !!

anw im looking forward to what kind of symbolism is actually going to be used for suo in the manga so lets see 🙂‍↕️

too many stories about turning yourself into a monster as a metaphor for pretending to be something you aren't and losing yourself in the process. not enough stories about turning yourself into a monster as a metaphor for choosing to openly embrace yourself even if it's strange to other people

don't mind me binge reading this manga and dragging all of my friends into the pit of despair that is the witch hat atelier series.

anyway enjoy your doomed dads.

Tumblr is just a nice little place where you can take off your ‘real person’ face and roll around in piles of garbage tailored to your unhinged hyperfocus five minutes before you stand up and go back to your zoom meeting
