Based off the comments of my last puppyshipping post. Has anyone considered a world where Serenity and Mokuba start hanging out and that subsequently leads to Joey and Kaiba reluctantly having to spend time together and noticing how similar they and how caring they are towards their siblings and how Kaiba's eyes soften ever so softly whenever Mokuba speaks with him and how Joey somehow always smells like caramel and....
Yeah, and his female characters are some of the best in shonen jump in my opinion. The mothers aren't treated as just mothers. They're allowed to have personality and backstory. Otohime, Portgas D. Rouge and Bellemere are examples of this.
As much as I love JJK, Megumi's mom doesn't have anything to her character besides being the person who just so happened to give birth to Megumi and I think this lack of confidence in writing women is reflected in how much there is to be desired with his other female characters.
Likewise, as flawed as Naruto is with its female characters Kushina IS allowed to have a personality and be more than just a wife and a mother.
There's obviously nothing wrong with having a female character that's tied to motherhood and is nurturing but when that character isn't even given a name in the text of the story and isn't able to be seen as anything but a mother what exactly are we supposed to take away from that?
I feel like you can tell a lot about how an author views their female characters based on whether or not they give dead mothers a name.
There will always be hope no matter how hard our oppressors try to stomp it out.
With Trump looking on track to win, I just want to give some hope for people right now.
The Senate is Republican, but two years in the future a third of the Senate will be reelected, meaning Trump has at most 2 years to work with an agreeable Senate
Whether or not Trump goes through with project 2025 or not, this will most definitely be our last term with him
If he doesn't do what he promised, his voter base will get mad they didn't get what they voted for
If he does do what he promised, his voter base will get mad when they realise tariffs=higher costs and when their taxes don't decrease
People WILL protest in their states and nationally and either a) Trump listens or b) Trump ignores it and people become more disillusioned with him
There is no way Trump will do something that can't be reversible or managed by the later President
If Trump supporters do become disillusioned, we could see a blue midterm
1/2 of Congress is needed to pass a bill
Just take a breath. It isn't going to be great, but we can and will survive.
Transphobes really are trying to make being a nosy bitch government mandated if you think about it.
Absolutely beautiful.
As a QPOC myself I can completely get the looming feeling of being isolated in the places you're supposed to belong in.
Ever since coming to terms with my sexuality I'd felt so conflicted about it. At times it even felt as though I was somehow a disappointment to my people for not continuing their practices and traditions in the way they were originally.
But fuck that.
If you're a person of color who happens to be queer, guess what? You belong! You are just as big a part of culture as anyone else and no one can take that from you! Nothing in this world remains stagnant and the ways in which we feel connected to our culture is no different!
Happy Trans Day of Visibility! This year I wanted to celebrate by showing you what Lunar Boy, our upcoming middle grade graphic novel, means to us as queer Indonesian representation: the thought process behind crafting a sci-fi Indonesian future that embraces queer history.
Pre-order Lunar Boy or add it on goodreads! Support QPOC creators and stories!
This one's my favorite

HI OMG I'm probably late as hell but I've been losing it over the fact that motherfucking Polkadot Man is going to be playing Mr. 3 holy shit absolutely inspired
i wish people would stop trying to convince trans men that they shouldnât transition (medically).
âdonât go on T, youâll go baldâ
âdonât go on T, youâll be aggressiveâ
âif you do go on T, get mood stabilizers because youâre gonna be really angry and destructiveâ
âdonât get bottom surgery, the recovery hurtsâ
âdonât go on T, i wonât feel safe around you anymoreâ
âdonât get top surgery the scars are uglyâ
âwhy would you want to be a man? men suckâ
so on and so forth. those are all things that i and other trans men i know have been told. and its gross!!
stop saying that. stop telling trans men to not transition. stop telling trans men that theyâre gonna be ugly, undesirable, a âtraitorâ, unsafe to be around, etc. itâs transphobic.
masculinity is a wonderful, beautiful thing. let trans men be masculine. let them be strong, take up space, loud about their identity, proud about their transition. itâs not a moral failing to be masculine. trans men arenât betraying the queer community by transitioning.
it is not trans menâs job to make themselves digestible and feminine for your comfort. there are men in the queer community. there are straight men in the queer community. there are masculine, tall, buff, bearded men in the queer community. and you might not know that theyâre queer at first glance. but theyâre queer nonetheless and you should be normal about that. that should not weird you out or make you feel betrayed.
trans men should transition if they want to. they should go on T, get surgeries, grow facial hair, talk about their transition and how happy they are to be a man without people telling them that theyâre bad or evil for it, go to the gym and get muscle-y, be stealth if they want to, and so much more.
trans men are not misogynistic for transitioning, theyâre not betraying the queer community or women, and their existence shouldnât make you feel threatened.
mwah i love masculine trans men so much ⥠never ever feel guilty for being a man
"Fantasy's greatest strength as a genre is how it gives readers the chance to live out their escapist-"
WRONG. Fantasy's greatest strength is that interactions like this can happen.
