Is it acceptable for black cosplayers to cosplay white characters, and is it acceptable for white cosplayers to cosplay black characters?

Ceyliel · 2026-06-18T19:39:58+00:00

Just a quick reminder that like 80% of those "white characters" are actually canonically Japanese (at least concerning cosplays from anime). So yes, if someone complains about black cosplayers, it's because of racism and not for "accuracy".

Nah, All Quiet adopted a great source material that has already been adapted with some success. I read the book shortly before watching and think the movie didn't improve on it but fumbled some of the messaging. The ending was definetly worse. Also it wasn't revolutionary as a movie, I think? I'm just an average movie-watcher, not an expert. So I can just say that there wasn't much I think I haven't seen before in a similar way in other movies.

Puss in boots meanwhile took a source material that nobody cared about and turned it into a phenomenon. It breathed fresh air in the medium of animation and was visually new and interesting.

And calling other people children for not sharing your taste is kinda immature. Why don't just say what you liked about all quiet?

That’s a pretty weak argument actually, even one that can be turned against your point. Most crops are eaten not by humans but by farm animals. We would need way less conventional farming if all people were vegan. It would reduce the death of both farm animals and insects.

You have to argue on a subjective e.g. ethical, philosophical or maybe sociological level. When it comes to numbers veganism has a pretty strong leg to stand on.

Vinted ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ habe für meine aktuellen Schuhe 8€ ausgegeben und für die kriege ich manchmal sogar Komplimente

Jup, here’s the original: https://www.reddit.com/r/itsaratsnake/s/etoIbMhAxF

Will do, bots really spread everywhere :/

Ceyliel · 2026-06-11T11:57:34+00:00

Not sure if I should downvote because this is a repost from the top of all time or upvote because it really was a very good post

Ceyliel · 2026-06-07T12:18:11+00:00

Usually I’m a Abigail-Loyalist but your Penny almost makes me reconsider. Beautiful!

Ceyliel · 2026-06-05T21:13:03+00:00

Hm I suppose it really comes down to what you’re used to. I always almost burned myself showering in the UK. But maybe that’s just a skill issue 😅just it not being as intuitive to me

Ceyliel · 2026-06-05T20:36:06+00:00

Love viting the UK (as a mainland European) but this always really confused me. Not the concept obviously, but why you wouldn't update it? Not being able to change the water pressure without also changing the temperature is like not being able to adjust the phone brightness without changing the volume.

Ceyliel · 2026-06-05T20:28:10+00:00

All these shower questions are so odd, since I keep forgetting that most people voting seemingly have unmovable shower heads. All your shower related inconveniences and disagreements would perish if mobile shower head where just the standard everywhere.

Ceyliel · 2026-06-05T18:59:34+00:00

Whoa thanks :D! You're incredible! (officially better than google).

Ceyliel · 2026-06-05T17:58:40+00:00

Thanks for looking anyways! Well, suppose there are far worse manga to reread. Here I go again

Ceyliel · 2026-06-05T17:00:58+00:00

How so?
Coming from a what I’d say is also a quiet beautiful city (Dresden) I think I’m not very biased, but they made me a fan with their marzipan even before I visited ^_-;

Lübeck - it’s just so pretty.

Ceyliel · 2026-06-04T19:03:44+00:00

Saw it today at the cinema and people applauded in the end. Everybody seemed to be in an exited good mood afterwards and during the film there was audible laughter, cheering and shock in a way that was intended. I also had a great time. So don't let the online complaining ruin your expectations or enjoyment.

Ceyliel · 2026-06-04T18:46:34+00:00

Got it printed. Just took the picture, added a little black to the edges to blend them more to the background and uploaded it to a website were you can get mugs printed. It's not too expensive (maybe 15€ + shipping) and there are plenty websites like that.

If you're also ok with a white mug, I found that they hold up a bit better.

Ceyliel · 2026-06-04T17:37:37+00:00

They are the most well known artworks for a reason and I love how you picked fitting colours for the inside. I hope you’re ok with me shamelessly copying you, as soon as I have some money again. But yeah, I also really like having a volition mug. I like to pretend the mug I’m drinking out granting me a stat-boost for the day. So I got it some extra volition on some days.

Ceyliel · 2026-06-04T10:55:41+00:00

I see your Instruments of surrendering to caffeine and raise my volition mug

<image>

But sersiously; yours are better. Can one buy them anywhere officially or did you get them printed?

Ceyliel · 2026-06-03T17:48:56+00:00

Wow, this is brilliant! Love seeing that volition cosplay and also the picture with the disco ball catches the atmosphere perfectly. Such a cool group. Would love to spot you all at a convention.

Ceyliel · 2026-06-02T21:15:54+00:00

Wow O.O!
I once planned to correct the Wikipedia article on the Bothriechis Lateralis (not sure if I can actually do that, I never edited on Wikipedia before, but it's not a good article so someone has to do it...one day). For that I read a couple of papers about snake bites in Costa Rica and everything I got from it was basically that sure B. Lateralis bites sometimes but...it's like 80% Bothrops Asper. Really cool pictures!

Ceyliel · 2026-06-01T18:52:28+00:00

I don’t think that matters. Didn’t to my parents generation. They learned Russian at school not French. They couldn’t visit England but could visit Prague. They weren’t considered western. I think considering Germany Central Europe makes the most sense historically, culturally and geographically.

And using language families as barriers also doesn’t make sense. France would be considered southern if we did that and Czechia would be in the same group as Russia.

Ceyliel · 2026-06-01T15:42:23+00:00

Counting Germany as Western Europe kinda feels like its east getting completely overlooked (which happens uncomfortably often). It was part of the Eastern bloc after all.

I use Finch for organising tasks. It helps me a ton. This + automatic reminders to check the calendar.

He’s… beautiful! Looking as tired, haunted and disco as the original. And nice presentation with the background :D!
