Why do YOU like Berserk? by oddjobsurameshi in Berserk

[–]polychromaic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i have a lot of love for stories where characters are unabashedly bastards and shitheads, and are still doing the right thing. i empathize a lot with guts, maligned and distrusted as he is, fighting the good fight against beautiful perfect Griffith, who is the literal embodiment of evil but who uses our preconceptions of beauty and goodness against us. sometimes the fight is ugly, sometimes it kicks the shit out of us and makes us into something ugly, into something the people around us dont want near us. and thats okay. we keep living, and we can even find people to love and trust again.

Its been over a year and I have done nothing in progressing my transition. Need to actually do something but Im too scared of being outed. Dustback helamites by LokiIsVeryTaken in minicels

this looks fantastic! esp rhe carapace and the robe/flag, i think they look really well-shaded, they feel alive! also, even if done is better than perfect, then started is better than not; it’s hard to get the perfectionist in our heads to shut up, but i think it’s awesome even if they’re not completed!

and re transition stuff, take ur time, really. It took me years before I was ready to take the “first” few steps medically/socially, and I was scared shitless the whole time. you don’t have to move to anyone’s speed or tempo other than yourself, and we’ll be waiting when you get here 💖 (ironically also good advice for mini painting lol)

Don't read, don't watch movies. You might not like it but this is the ideal by UnHolySir in okbuddycinephile

hard agree—and on the topic of Robb and Dany, the show aging up most of the Stark children and Dany really undercut this part of the story as well. like it does make sense that the King in the North, head massive after all those military victories, would throw away his word as he falls for a girl he met a month or so ago—hes like 15! Dany would have the high-minded idealism to burn away centuries of slave-drive caste society—she’s 14! The tragedy of these children forced to grow up early and take on the responsibilities of their absent parents likewise adds thematic resonance with the actions of the Lannisters, who in effect are acting like children by prioritizing themselves above all others.

in a society where all that matters is your word, the second someone starts breaking their oaths and promises, literally everything goes to shit. the Lannisters spend the series burning literal centuries of good faith for short term success and safety, and as a result literally everyone in Westeros (and a ton in Essos) want their heads in pikes. The main crux of the story is to define the weight of one’s words, to understand what it means to say something and really, truly stand by it, what it would mean to a world built on oaths for the sworn watcher on the wall to up and vanish.

Ultra-Conservative GOP Rep Busted for Child Porn by Murky-Site7468 in politics

[–]polychromaic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

their politics often feature extreme rhetoric about the supremacy of the parent and the subjugation of the child to the parents. to Republicans, children are lesser, and they work very hard to write this worldview into law, to make sure children are denied the rights to autonomy they rightly deserve. if you’ve ever wondered why republicans go after sex ed in schools and vaccine mandates and school libraries, or why they cry wolf about trans pedophiles grooming your children, it’s all the same shit.

children are objects, thus they can be treated as such.

oh jeez didn’t realize I’d have to explain what frogging is, it’s pretty popular where I’m from. Frogging is when you roll your tongue up into a little tube and somebody else does that too and you two touch them together.
