Quick question noragami fandom!!

Is Yato canonically attractive? Like stereotypically attractive or something? I know that Hiyori’s brother said he’s good looking but I wonder if there is more affirmations of this sjjsjs

Dumb poll ahead but I've been wondering if anglospeakers really say LED as a word or each letter (because I think I often hear them spell it out in movies which is such a foreign concept to me) soooo let's see how everyone compares.

❕ English speaker refers to people whose native/primary language is English and the rest of us get to share options. Have fun, be nice, etc etc.

still mad about this post lol so let me also say: “they taught us critical thinking in english class” is extra funny to me because there’s a genuine debate among Ed Heads about whether “critical thinking” as a discrete and decontextualized skillset can actually be taught :) so it’s pretty silly to go around confidently branding yourself as a critical thinker while simultaneously revealing that you’re extremely comfortable making assumptions about the relative simplicity of complex ideas which remain contested in their respective fields :) personally i would be pretty embarrassed to call myself a critical thinker if i also couldn’t stop myself from revealing i was totally lacking in the intellectual humility that would enable me to understand that we have yet to reach consensus on unbelievably complicated issues like how best to educate an entire population :) but i guess i was absent the day that tenth grade english covered running your mouth like an asshole on social media :)

if sasuke was the main character then he probably would've been a LOT more sympathised with than he is now (which is to say rarely). like the narrative wouldn't even need to change to show his pains or 'his side of the story', bc it does that plenty. it's just that he is not the main character. and idk what it is about our human minds but we tend to sympathise with main characters automatically (unless ofc you go off the rockers insane and do something like obliterate almost everyone from the planet *cough* eren yeager *cough*)

an instance that comes to my mind where this does happen is with lelouch from code geass. while i don't agree with his character motivations, people generally do sympathise with him as he is the mc and as viewers we know he isn't inherently evil. sasuke's goal towards the end is slightly similar but ofc people love to hate him so they don't even try to understand where he is coming from.

my point is, most people while engaging with the naruto story don't read between the lines and so don't see how traumatised and in pain sasuke is and hence don't understand his character motivations. heck, they don't understand a single bit about him and so they automatically hate him, as he is supposedly going against the main character's goals.

which is really sad given all that he has been through.

fucking adore how tianlang-jun was built up to be really intimidating and scary and sort of has this fucked up psychological component to his physical appearance as well as his general mannerisms, but then you find out that hes Just Like That and not like. a genuine evil guy. he was heartbroken and because of that he was like #FuckHumans!!! but could never fully kill his love of humans and humanity. what the fuck. this novel is killing it with characters i swear

Biggest difference at the new job (besides The Everything) is being treated like an adult and a professional (despite being contract), rather than a kid who just happens to be computer literate unlike the rest of the staff, so I'm kept around for that. It's really nice? To be treated as an equal and intelligent and a professional worthy of my title, even tho yes I'm still young and new and learning, I have responsibility and autonomy and am in many ways my own manager, and I get to make decisions. It's scary and new and things are expected of me way more, but that's also exciting? Even as it's real stressful? Idk I'm still settling in, but after my first full week I'm??? I think this is going to be really good for me, personally and professionally

Christianity really truly is nonsensical and Christians acting like every single non-Christian who disagrees with it is too stupid or prideful to understand it tells me everything I need to know about Christians and their beliefs.

people cannot see a harmless poll curious about vernacular without implying that anyone who speaks differently to them is stupid huh

drives me insane that so much about ‘growing up’ in the context of wills arc is about conforming to heteronormative ideas and being heterosexual and because will isn’t, he is seen as immature and childish and it drives me even more insane that this isn’t just something that happens in universe but amongst the audience too!!! and like s3 really shoved it in his face with dnd and all his friends ditching him But s4 is actually So Much Worse (?) in a way because he literally doesn’t play dnd anymore but mike and dustin do and They never get told they need to ‘grow up’ for the very simple fact that they both have girlfriends and so then everyone is like “ah yes okay they passed the test congratulations for being mature and grown up heterosexuals” when they spend the entire first episode running around trying to convince people to play dnd with them. and yet with will (who has one dnd related scene (which is Heavily tied to his queerness hmmmmm) and literally gave his set up in the last ep of s3, like he Literally moved on) its like “awww hes still growing! look at the boy hes still so childish he likes dnd!” like. oh my god. am i insane i feel insane. is it not maybe, Just Maybe that ‘growing up’ in a heteronormative environment means that queer people will never be seen to have ‘grown up’ because they simply cannot conform to those expectations. and in trying to do so they have to give up intrinsic parts of themselves (like their interests and even their (very gay) feelings), which is a Bad Thing. and the only time this ever gets challenged at all is by jonathan!!! who tells him its okay to be a freak and like whatever nerdy shit he’s into and that no matter what he will always love him. and how the audience sees that as jonathan being a good ally (which yeah it was, great work btw jonathan) and then completely ignores the Looming Spectre of conformity and heteronormativity over the whole thing. like they can let will be gay but god forbid his experiences growing up gay dont align with those of heterosexuals and so he is different to them. NOT TO MENTION THE SUPERNATURAL HORRORS HE HAS BEEN THROUGH (which is Also intrinsically tied to all of this and if anything reinforces that forced conformity, is in fact, killing the kids)

Ik Heart literal wise is the actual heart but like what would Mind be? Cos im thinkin it about it an since Heart & Mind are stated to be the halves of the brain, he cant be the brain then?
