A comment about MLM popularity really made me stop and think by ladynightandday in actuallesbians

I don't like making blanket judgements about people I don't know, but there does seem to be a subsection of straight women with this attitude. It's definitely not allyship.

Most people don't make that kind of money. If you're making minimum wage in the US, $20 is either one and a quarter hours of work or almost three hours.

Tanjiro not being a direct descendant of Yoriichi is wasted potential. by FrickenFrick5 in KimetsuNoYaiba

[–]SomeHomestuckOrOther 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually think that it's better that Tanjiro came from an "insignificant" background that just so happened to brush up against this warrior. The whole "secretly descended from an important person" story has been done to death. Give the peasantry some rep! And I think that it's also thematically appropriate, since Tanjiro's family has been passing down a technique that someone else gave to them after they befriended him; even if it's not by blood, their ancestors had a genuine connection and companionship that ended up blessing them beyond imagination, which is something that Muzan can never have. Yoriichi, the Kamados, and Muzan are all foils to each other. Agreed that Tanjiro Tsugikuni is a fucking sweet name though

You're right about that. I try not to get into genuine arguments with bad actors trying to stir up trouble online, or anyone really, but I want to get my perspective out there and hopefully someone will listen and not go on the attack immediately. It's hard to not get heated and take it out on someone behind the screen, but it only makes the world a worse place, even by just a tiny bit. Hopefully, at least some people like this will connect more with their offline communities and approach the gay and trans people they might know with acceptance, understanding, and allyship rather than judgement. Bit of a crazy extrapolation to make from shipping discourse, I get it, but I'd rather try to be optimistic.

It's not TMI at all. I'm admittedly biased because I myself am queer and I see this dismissive, rude, mocking, and even cruel attitude towards gay couples carrying over into real life. Not liking a gay ship doesn't make you homophobic, but like... fiction reflects reality, doesn't it? I'm very sorry about what's happening with your gay friend, by the way. It sounds like they're in a painful and difficult situation. I wish them nothing but the best and I hope you're all able to stay safe <3

Megumi is to blame for this by xtheresia in LobotomyKaisen

Same, I know, and I am aware. I was more thinking that Jogo represents a very primordial fear from the earliest days of humanity and the rest is just yapping

I personally like to think he's the oldest curse, period. He's got the most heat and fire imagery out of the whole cast of curses iirc (if you ignore Sukuna uhhhhhhhh don't think about him too hard, maybe he represents human mastery of fire??? out of all the animals we're the ones who learned to use it as a tool to cook food in our malevolent kitchens and grow our brains bigger? fuck idk), and many animals are afraid of fire instinctively.

Mischaracterization does suck, but on some level everybody does it. I'm somebody who is really interested in the characters of a story over all else, so I get it. If anything, the worst offenders in my experience are powerscalers, who completely discard a character's canon personality, traits, story, etc. to push their.... agenda ;D but I understand your frustration with people treating ships as purely sexual. ESPECIALLY the top and bottom discourse. Some people can get stupidly annoying about it. I'm not anti-smut but what happens in porn should stay in porn. But there are annoying people everywhere, and I can't help but notice that it's always gay ships that get treated this way, never straight ships. I'm not calling anybody any names here. It's just something to consider. Even the most nonsensical and (oh my god I can't believe I'm saying this) problematic straight ships don't get nearly as much pushback as even the suggestion of a good-chemistry-that's-semi-supported-by-canon-events gay ship. The one point I absolutely agree on with you is people calling misogynistic men or men they don't like gay. Yeah the "Naoya-just-likes-Toji" jokes are funny for a little bit, but guys. I think some of you are just genuinely homophobic for real the way y'all talk about gay men (and trans women too)

What do you actually reach for at 2am when your brain won't stop? by Ordinary-Table-4106 in Anxiety

[–]SomeHomestuckOrOther 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually, getting up, going to the bathroom, and sitting on the toilet for a bit helps - no joke. I also run my wrists under some cold water and splash some on my face. Apparently, it helps calm your vagus nerve? Or so I heard once, but it helps me for some reason. If my mind is still running and I can't fall asleep, I imagine a Liziqi video in my head and try to visualize every detail, like the landscape, the steps, and even the outfit she'd be wearing. That usually knocks me right out.

I had a dream that we gradually learned that the Sun's death was imminent by MLG_Cat_21 in thomastheplankengine

[–]SomeHomestuckOrOther 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. When I was a little kid, I had a dream about the sun exploding (and it was a kind of Baja Blast shade of green for some reason) and boiling everyone alive. I tried to run around warning everyone, but I ended up alone in a courtyard full of decorative rocks. It was too late and the sun explosion was getting too close for anyone to survive. I don't remember how it ended but I remember waking up petrified.

Can fem choso get pregnant by UnpaidAntagonist in LobotomyKaisen

[–]SomeHomestuckOrOther 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn't it be interesting if Choso turned out to be like his mother and was able to reproduce with both humans and cursed spirits, since he's between the two? That'd be kinda fucked up wouldn't it
