you ever have a friend thats the definition of 'self-fulfilling prophecy'?
i hate how the "Laudna just lives to please Imogen" discourse absolutely removes agency and development from both characters, while also completely ignoring 30+ & 10+ years of trauma at the same time.
i don't have the rhetorical might to develop those points in written form, but when i see people saying, with all certainty, how them "don't work together", or how they should separate to "grow"... i die a little inside.
I want to give those people a chance, i hope they don't really believe that after analyzing a 2 year friendship, and 12 DAYS of a formal relationship IN THE MIDDLE of THE END OF THE WORLD is enough to pull those conclusions. But i don't know...
I've seen this same people seething about their relationship since the start of the campaign so... idk
Anyway i trust the players over everything. They are very aware of their character flaws and arcs (even if these people seem to forget that somehow?) so i know i'm in good hands.
But at the same time... ngl, that this keeps happening to the women characters, and to the sapphic relationships specifically, over and over again... it gets a little bit tiring.
watched the newest majo to yajuu episode, and honestly its been the best one since probably either the twin "witches" arc or since phanora and johan showed up, between angela (my beloved) showing up and this being one of my favorite parts of the manga. It's just a solid ep overall I think.
that being said, I do still have to say the manga clears the anime by a wide margin due to the anime's general issues (lackluster animation for the most part, along with a few subtle changes in translations and the difference between how I read scenes in the manga and how the ended up voiced) but despite that. It's just a good episode.
OH actually i do wanna talk about the angela scene tho. lord have mercy the angela and guideau scene honestly. id say for the most part. great. i hope more people start to understand guideau. and the fact that she's an unreliable narrator, but also WHY she's an unreliable narrator. Like angela fucked them up. In every way. But the audience sees time and time again that witches aren't inherently evil, re: helga, phanora, and the very next witch we meet which I won't say bc spoilers for anime only's. We don't even know why Angela did what she did, and there's a few theory's as to why, tho I'm not gonna get into them atm lmao
EWWWWWWW I FUCKING HATE IT HERE!!!
why does nobody understand that subtlety is (objectively) so much more sexy than bluntness!!!???
what do you mean we're saying "mommy" and "little wet pathetic fuckslut whore" after every. single. sentence??!?!
y'all cannot tell me that you talk like that during sex?!?!! bitch why are we having a full blown conversation? do your fucking job and shut the hell up bitch!!!
why are we constantly talking? i don't get it, it's not necessary!!!
listen, a lot of what im into is verbal and i do enjoy talking during sex....but good god at least try to be fucking tasteful!!!
i think dirty talk is a gift from god....but it genuinely makes me want to die when i see a fantasy or horny post that is 80% dialogue and most of it is useless pet names and descriptors of the state of someone's hole.
you know what makes subtlety really sexy? the fact that you don't know when someone is going to say something that turns you on.
or even being told something vague of what they want to do, or going to do you and it playing out later and being surprised!
y'all will yell about how much you hate studio porn (which is valid but you would be nothing without it as all other porn isn't free) for being fake and performative and this is what you do lmao??
"hold on babe, before we start let me get my script!!"
and as someone who negotiates and talks through the sex im about to have before i have it (which is arguably similar), there are still ways to be subtle and surprising with what you do!!!
please go stand in front of a mirror and genuinely perform (because it's so fucking performative, so preform) that dialogue in how you would do it in an actual sexual situation, and report back to me :D
(do what the fuck you want, i don't mean to yuck your yum but i think this is a time to reflect whether your sexual conversations are performative or not)
who came up w the headcanon that the generation of miracles hair colors are only colorful for the sake of the audience and they arent that way in universe. i need to thank them.
no josh in a spiderman costume for halloween? :(
"you're always going to offend someone no matter what you do"
ok but do you see why we should be offending transphobes and racists and such instead of trans ppl and POC
Idk why but this article makes me so mad?? Like these people (who ranged in age from 24-27) have to think about retirement? Have to think about 401K? Like... 50 grand is not a lot and I think 4/5 of the people had masters degrees (two were currently in a masters program)? Isn’t that insane? One of them basically said “why enjoy our lives and do things we enjoy when we can save for retirement?” These people have to plan out everything (and if they wanna splurge they literally end up with a shitty savings like the last person). One of them said they literally don’t do anything because all the money they’re using right now is going to their wedding... that’s so dystopian.
