i would personally pay Disney a zillion dollars if they made a movie starring Rio Vidal and Yelena Belova.

Kuro is always the one to die first. Mickbell is the one that has to go through the anguish of knowing he saw the only one he truly considers a family die. Look at his face when he realizes Kuro died/is going to die.

Mickbell doesn't cry here because he's afraid for his own safety or scared of what just happened. He cries because Kuro put himself into great danger and got killed.

I'll always wonder what would happen if Mick gets killed first.

Part of why the current chapters of the WIP are devouring my brain is like. I take this character I've been developed for 200,000 words, and then introduce him to these other characters who have been living their own lives. And watch them react. Which they do, naturally enough, by going "This guy is sooooo weird."

I imagine how it's God felt when William Blake wrote The Tyger.

thinking about this and goddd satosugu is really so.. pure in the way that their connection thrives on its ambiguousness. the way their friendship bleeds into romantic affection, the momentous sensation of falling in love for the first time.. that is undercut by reality's ugliness (just like yuta and rika as children)

but since the world is still filled with ppl bogged down by labels, the profundity of their relationship, the space they live in— right in the middle of it all— is instead seen as a ground for discourse. so we get ppl dismissing geto's importance to gojo's life, in an attempt to distance him from something they, maybe without even realizing, associate with weakness

The Dangerous Allure of Reactive Externalism

This post is about the dangerous allure of reactive externalism. It’s about patriarchy, beards, weight-lifting, modesty, head-coverings, etc… American Christianity has long been dominated by gnostic tendencies. Gnosticism is a false religion that troubled the church in the 2nd and 3rd centuries. It revisits every generation to some degree. This go around its come back with a vengeance.

this is silly tbh

“wait, you noticed all our ‘biblical femininity’ and ‘biblical masculinity’ is cultic signifier bullshit. WE DIDN’T MEAN IT LIKE THAT”

no. you did. you just don’t like the outcome because the people you interact with are cringe and hollow. you are cringe and hollow and are seeing yourself reflected back at you.

A lot of discourse falls prey to what might be termed the Fairness Fallacy: The assumption that there is a code of persuasion by which everyone must abide, that true beliefs are only held by those who argue them logically and charitably, and that one need not make any concessions to the illogic of others. Common manifestations of this fallacy include "It doesn't make sense to adopt bad beliefs because people arguing against them were unkind to you, so no one on our side of the argument need change their behavior" and "If they really had truth on their side they wouldn't attempt to intimidate and censor their opponents"
