Batfam Lightsabers

Yoooo, I still can't believe that they technically made Sasuke and Naruto soul siblings or some shit just to get the shippers to back off, and then it didn't work.

I started reading Naruto fanfiction again and the words “ya know” have been violently re-added to my vocabulary.

I don't know if someone’s mentioned this yet but has anyone compared how the hijab is treated in real life and how the Mandalorian’s armor is treated in Star Wars? From people trying to forcefully take it off to see what’s underneath, to people saying that they are being brainwashed for wanting to wear their collective head covering.

I don’t know, it just has some parallels that are interesting to think about.

Finally started reading Eden’s Zero and can now say with the utmost certainty that Rebecca has something that Lucy should have had all along... Fucking guns. You do not understand the sense of euphoria I got from watching her pull out some guns and just shoot some motherfuckers. Like, it was almost therapeutic.

Common things you learn to do when you have a sibling

1. Yawn with one eye open at least, you don't know when your sibling will get uppity and put their finger in your mouth like the utter heathen they are.

2. Walk with your ass covered. Vigilance is your friend and your sibling is your enemy. Your sibling will take every chance they have to kick you right between your ass cheeks. 

3. Steal their charger. You could steal other things too but nothing causes as much outrage as stealing the continued lifeblood of their phone.

4. Accept the reality that your sibling’s friends are trash and will always be trash in your mind.

5. Fighting to first blood. Body slamming your sibling to the ground is something you learn to do early on.

Question, could Injustice Superman just be considered a shittier version of Light Yagami?

I think it’s because in all those other situations, there was at least hope. Yue Qingyuan had a sliver hope that if only he could just get there fast enough, or be strong enough, he could save his Xiao Jiu. But in a situation where Shen Qingqiu is dead, there’s no hope, there’s no point.

Why do you think Yue Qingyuan doesn't go wild after Shen Qingqiu self detonates?

Why isn't he going to get back Shen Qingqiu's corpse?

Is it because he respects Shen Qingqiu's choice to sacrifice himself for his disciple?

Is it because he doesn't want to trigger an actual war?

Or is it because his Xiao Jiu has been dead for a long time already and he knows it?

I'm so curious because it's so at odds with Yue Qingyuan who walked into an obvious trap at the hope of getting Shen Jiu back

The Yue Qingyuan who pushed himself to the point of being stuck with a sword that drains his life force when he uses it

The Yue Qingyuan who clawed at walls of a cave to escape and ran away to save Shen Jiu when he could

The Yue Qingyuan who pulled away from a scene where Shen Jiu had murdered people to without a care of the crime

Why was Yue Qingyuan staying back at Cang Qiong while Liu Qingge fought for Shen Qingqiu's corpse?

I love Chinese bl novels because the main character will always be like, “I’m a straight male who has never had a single homosexual thought ever”

And then like not even five months later they’ll be giving out a blowjob “purely for science” like that’s a completely normal and heterosexual thing to do.

Like, I’m currently reading a transmigration novel where the mc is like, “I’m so straight,” but then his first solution to a problem that he’s having where someone is spying on him to ruin his reputation is to have a phone call in front on the spy about having an affair, go out and buy sexy lingerie, invite his “husband” to a night in a hotel, and then wait for the chaos.

My brother in Christ, what part of you felt like that was the heterosexual thing to do??

Maleficent and The wings symbolism

-Warning!- mentions of rape

Anywho, so I know I’m far from the first person to think that Maleficent’s wings were probably an allegory for purity or whatever. But last night I was thinking, if we apply that lens to the entire movie, then it suddenly becomes a far less wholesome story, and not just because of the rape elements. 

Because here’s the thing, Stefan drugs Maleficent and takes her wings while she’s sleeping (ie. raping her) and then she wakes up and finds out what happens when he’s already long gone. 

If we continue then by that logic then Maleficent becomes the scorned woman, evil and mad. This paints a pretty awful image already of what they might have been trying to say. For example, Maleficent was good until she lost her virginity (aka her purity), then she became evil.

And if we continue further, it gets a lot worse. Because the only reason Maleficent becomes good again is due to her maternal feelings towards Aurora. And like, one of the only reasons that women aren't demonized for having sex (willing or otherwise) is when it’s done for the purpose of reproduction.

So technically, Maleficent only gains her wings back because she gains her purity the only way a woman who’s no longer a virgin can, by becoming a mother.

Note, I do not like the way the movie is read if we apply this lens at all.

To be completely honest one of the things I was most devastated about with Damian Wayne’s whole new consume and identity is the lack of stylish boots. Like, 12 year old me saw those boots and thought “yeah those are lit” and you know what? 12 year old me was right, those boots were, in fact, “lit”

But now I’m looking at his new consume and all I can think is that would be such an easier transition if they left the boots. They were fashionable as fuck and it’s a true travesty they’re gone.
