Batsinnappies - Ed - Comms Open!

Tw: ed + a bit of blood

his ed isn’t talked about enough :/

as someone who also has arfid I find it sad how little it’s talked about :(

Hey, don’t cry. Free online database of Japanese folk lore

Cool, ty, it is just a hc, then

I was confused bc people were saying he was illiterate like it's a fact and I wanted to know if I'd missed something

But really he just can't write and we don't know the reason why- could be loss of fingers, could be he was never taught

If he could write but no longer can because he struggles to hold a brush, I wouldn't count that as illiteracy

C-can I ask where the idea that Sanemi is illiterate came from?

Is it that comment about how he can't write to Tanjirou at the end??

Because I'm pretty sure that's due to the loss of his right index and middle fingers... he just can't hold a brush anymore-

I'm pretty sure his crow (or maybe Kiriya I can't recall) says he enjoys reading Tanjirou's letters, but can't write back

Learning to use his left hand would be really hard and he's probably embarrassed about it, that's what I took it to mean

only real legends come back from hiatus only to disappoint their followers with lego ninjago brainrot

like i'm sorry but we as a fandom have to stay firm on our anti-AI values. we cannot suddenly start giving AI a pass when it's something we "want to see" like destiel kisses. it's not suddenly fine. we're not going to start using AI to make fanfic scenes come to life or audio AI to make characters "say" stuff we want to hear. you have GOT to be firm on your anti-AI stance. if you start making exceptions then suddenly anything will fly. fandom is for real art and creations made by real people. no AI fanfics. no AI art. no AI rendered "bonus" scenes. no AI audio. none of it has a place here.

Everyone has been sharing such amazing art with me. I thought I’d show you all one of mine. I don’t know the first thing about digital art, but I love to paint. The background is water colors and Obanai himself is acrylic 🐍~

i shared something a few months ago about allergies and food disabilities and it recently started accumulating notes again and now it's at 5.7k, so obviously my activity page is just people trauma dumping about their awful experiences with allergies in the tags which is. Fun.

but what's really getting me is how i made a comment early on in the reblog chain about how many personal and professional activities revolve around food and how much it sucks to have to either put yourself at risk or miss out on those opportunities, because people often react badly either way if you cause them even the slightest inconvenience

and EVERYBODY who has responded to that comment. and I mean everybody. has focused on "personal" and made comments about how "if your friends don't respect your food disabilities, they're not your friends" and "you'll meet more supportive people in future" and all of that

and not one of them has paid any attention to the "professional" part of that. I'm talking about work Christmas dinners where if you don't go you're not a team player and will probably get passed over for future opportunities, but if you go, you'll get sick and HR will be mad about the extra time off. I'm talking about networking dinners and business lunches and meeting people at the buffet table at events, all of which are fraught if not impossible. I'm talking about travelling for conferences or other events and having to bring an entire extra bag with food because the venue can't cater for you (hand luggage only just ain't even an option at this point, so yay, extra costs if you're travelling further afield)

and also! smaller things like job interviews where you have to wear "smart" clothes (fitted waistbands and IBS? A Nightmare). dress codes in general. working in a building where the nearest toilets are on the opposite side. not being able to trust the work kettle/microwave because it might be contaminated but not having the facilities to bring/use your own. not being able to use communal tea/coffee/milk supplies for the same reason. all of those little everyday things

it isn't just about friends. it's about LIFE. i'm in an industry where events, lunches, etc are a common occurrence, and a nightmare for me. in academia, it feels like every other event involves a wine reception, which is shit when you don't drink and don't love being around people who are drinking a lot. in the office, i can't participate properly in any of the seasonal social gatherings, whether they're tea and biscuits or a Christmas meal

food disabilities have PROFESSIONAL impacts. because they are disabilities. it isn't just about having fun or hanging out with friends. it affects my career and my opportunities and it is INVISIBLE because people don't even know to recognise the ableism when they're doing it

i am tired of people ignoring that facet of it all

Sabito Lives AU and is a slayer but the hashira still have no idea of his existence. Giyuu still created the 11th form and thats why he got the Water Hashira position and not Sabito. Giyuu still doesnt talk about himself, so nobody knows about Sabito. Sabito is pretty high ranking so he's always out on missions so him and Giyuu are actually not even in the same place most of the time. The hashira have either never met Sabito in their entire careers or have only met him personally once or twice so its not like Sabito would mention that him and Giyuu are besties

How do the hashira find out about him?

Did Sabito happen to run into Shinobu and was like "so you're the bitch that keeps telling people Giyuu had no friends"? Did Sabito injure himself and end up at the Butterfly Estate where Giyuu visited him? Was Giyuu injured at the Butterfly Estate and Sabito burst into the room looking for him ("Giyuu!" "Dont. Dont you dare-" Sabito throws himself full force at Giyuu and they fall "ow" "wtf just happened?")? Did someone stop by the Water Estate and Sabito was the one who answered the door? Does Sabito just show up as Giyuu's representative at a hashira meeting he wasnt going to make it to? Were the hashira loitering around before/after a meeting and Sabito was hanging out with (or hanging on to) Giyuu? Was there a hashira team up and they were losing when Sabito swooped in as backup? Does Sabito just simply first name Giyuu and that sends the hashira rumor mill into action? Does Sabito show up out of nowhere mid convo and throw Giyuu over his shoulder and run off?

Are they platonic? Romantic? A not-together-but-people-think-they-are-for-jealousy-trope? Pre-poly ship? Because imaging him calling Giyuu "babe" super casual would send the hashira into a tizzy and i need to see it

Au where every lord Garmadon exists at the same time. Pre s8 Garmadon and post s8 Garmadon are fighting when suddenly movie Garmadon shows up with a slushie like what up?

Some Collector and Amity siblings stuff :)

I like to imagine them going to her with their nightmares, asking her to read them stories, only to fall asleep on her shoulder

I also like to imagine them getting jealous of Luz like King got jealous of Amity 'what!? no collector hug?? I demand to be held' and then they get hugged from three directions by Amity, Luz, and King

'Looks like we're going to be siblings in law, king!' And they get to be flower star person with King (at Luz and Amity's not white wedding but they agreed it was so cute when they both insisted that they just let them)

The Collector just stayed in their usual clothes, and King wore his armour of intimidation and they spent the whole day randomly showering people with little stars with focus on lumity

Also Amity letting them bash their old siblings, and being there for them when they're sad about what they lost and who lied to them.

'I just- wish you'd been my sibling the whole time.'

'Me too. Those archivist people SUCK.'

'YEAH! They didn't even try to find me when I got trapped. They just decided it was good riddance and were disappointed when I came back last week...'

'Excuse me, WHAT. Collector, please stay away from them- if they're going to lure you into a place where you could be in such danger on purpose, then completely ignore you when you get trapped instead of taking your tablet to titans blood to free you or at least bringing you to the stars to keep you company, I dread to imagine what else they'd do to you. I don't want anyone else to hurt you like Belos and the archivists have. You're a good kid, you deserve way better.'

Cue The Collector breaking down in tears in Amity's arms

And also being there for them when they're feeling guilty over their pre-Luz actions, and she can just be like 'same little dude, same' and recount stories of the things she'd done under her parents' control

'Can I make my own book of friendship?'

'Of course, Collector'

Amity reading Otabin to The Collector would be so cute - I think they'd love it, especially having a bedtime story that isn't that malicious pile of stone slabs they have

Spoilers for watching and dreaming below - the scribbles in the photos King's looking at

Just a huddle of weirdos helping the resident god make a book of friendship
