Kid: We can't lose. Because we have this. *points to his chest*
Law: We have heart?
Kid: Heart? No, me. I'm pointing at myself. I'm going to win this for us.

I've been rewatching some game changers and as someone who shares Brennan's competitiveness at non-athletic challenges, but does not share his practice of meditation I cannot stop laughing at the concept of "As A Cucumber" in which he's like "I am going to win at meditation which is normal to want and possible to achieve"

I'm a bit obsessed with Ging because what the fuck was he thinking, when he had Gon. Like yeah, yeah, the deadbeat anime dad Ging Freecss, we've all seen him, BUT HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT IT???
Here's this guy, who's been working as an archeology Hunter since he was ELEVEN, age at which he left his home and his family (and soon after became an orphan), since then traveling the world on his own, doing various shit, never settling with one thing, probably having swamp-tier hygene because I mean have you looked at him — and then he has a full-ass baby when he's nineteen. Nineteen! This fucking teenager who's been parentless since age eleven and leads the wildest life you can imagine decides to raise a child!
Presumably he was Gon's main (and only) care-taker for the two years they were together, presumably there were very few changes to his lifestyle during those two years. When he came back to Whale Island he just intended to ask his relatives to babysit for a bit, and he was surprised when Mito told him that it would be better for Gon to stay long-term??? Presumably, given that Mito admits to Gon that Ging didn't actually abandon him, initially he refused and they fought about it because he had planned to raise his son fully????
What was he doing. How did it take him two years and his teenaged cousin calling him out on his bullshit to realise that maybe he's an inadequate parent. He's canonically a genius.
It's histerical when you look at it from the angle of him being a young adult without a fucking clue who severely underestimated how hard parenting is, but dear god.

Results: Erebus vs. Runi
Tumblr media
“...You still rely too much on your gaze. You count on your paralysis to take and hold for a long time, but pause for just an instant against opponents who break free from it. Again, it is only an instant, but an instant that I was still able to exploit. Rid your self of that weakness.” 
A pause. “That aside... you’ve fought well, Runi.”
Tumblr media
He pants, holding a hand to his chest, but nods. “I understand... thank you very much.” A laugh. “I suppose I won’t have the chance to fight Mother, then... another time~”
Winner: Erebus

Okay I had to write fic for it. Some Kevin raised by the Saturdays, pre-osmobeast brand. Quick thing, just scenes.
Kevin and Zak meet a superhero and make a friend.
~~
“Okay,” Zak said once they were well out of the way of the adults, who were just going to be boring for however long anyway, “we can either go back to our bed stacking experiment or run around outside.”
“We’re taking notes, so it’s science,” Kevin said as soon as Gar opened his mouth with a furrowed brow. He had a firm grip on the other boy’s arm, not enough to hurt him but enough to keep it clear that the ‘but I’m working’ talk he’d been spouting when they’d grabbed him wasn’t going to fly. They weren’t missing out on the chance to hang out with another kid, it wasn’t going to happen. Slowly nodding, Gar made a thoughtful noise.
“It’s been a while since I got to just run around,” he said slowly, like he didn’t want to admit it, and they really couldn’t blame him.
“That’s a travesty.”
“What’s a ‘travesty’?” Already settled well into the ‘older brother’ position, Kevin rolled his eyes at Zak.
“Means it’s bullshit.” Immediately Fisk admonished him, leading to another eye roll. “What?! It’s not like the grown-ups are here to hear!” Gar started snickering and Kevin grinned at him. “Come on, outside it is then.”
~~
Komodo huffed at the base of the tree, turning away from where Fisk was helping Zak up to go plop down in a sunny patch. Kevin grabbed hold of Gar’s arm again as he shifted from squirrel back to boy, leaning all but off their branch to watch him.
“He says climbing trees is for babies,” Zak called up. “Which is, kinda true for komodo dragons, I think?”
“Yeah,” Gar said with a nod. “They have to so their moms don’t eat them.” Blinking, Kevin considered that, then nodded with a hum.
“I got relatives like that.”
“Same.”
~~
“I’m not great at it,” Gar said like he was admitting some big secret, “I can only turn into little things so far.” Kevin huffed, giving into the random urge to pick up a rock and huff it over the edge of the cliff. They all stopped to listen for the splash at the bottom.
“So,” he asked. “I’m still figuring stuff out and I’ve had my powers forever.”
“Yeah, same here,” Zak added, flashing Gar a smile that distracted him from Komodo smugly disappearing into thin air and Fisk swatting in his direction. “It’s still really cool you can just shapeshift like that.” A knot of tension left Gar’s shoulders with a light chuckle as he smiled back.
“Really? Cooler than Kevin’s?” Zak rolled his eyes.
“Anybody is cooler than Kevin.”
“Hey!”
~~
Somewhere along the line, the decision to build a fort had come into being. There’d been a back and forth about what to build it out of, but eventually Kevin, Gar, and Fisk had been put to work gathering pretty much anything they could find laying around the property and bring it back while Zak and Komodo cleared out an isolated spot near the far fence. So far ‘pretty much anything’ included a lot of loose branches, so many rocks, some sheet metal that was supposed to be for vehicle repair but really what was more important, and those extra pieces to make the dining table bigger that they hardly used anyway.
Kevin, being the only one with an eye for engineering and with powers to bolster it, was key in making sure the place wouldn’t collapse on them.
“Zak, I think you’re wrong, he might actually be cooler than me.”
“Told you I was cool!”
“No, you’re not, Gar just doesn’t know any better!”
~~
“I think you can make spackle out of like, mud and grass or something? It’d make it look less…”
“Like we threw a lot of junk together?”
“Yeah, that.”
“It’s worth a shot.”
~~
Maybe they just weren’t doing it right, but the mud spackle was a bad idea.
~~
Take one brotherly shoving match, add one small green superhero, and what did you get? Kevin, Komodo, and Gar playfighting in the mud and dirt while Fisk held Zak safely out of the way despite his protests. It was a mess of shapeshifting and Komodo blinking in and out of view, and Kevin was perfectly willing to admit he’d bitten both at least twice.
They’d rolled with it, it was fine.
~~
None of them knew how long it’d been when the adults finally came looking for them, but they did know they didn’t want the fun to stop.
Kevin made his displeasure known with a handful of mud right in that Mento jerk’s face.
~~
The adults were saying their goodbyes, the same old boring stuff that cut further into valuable fun time far more than it should, when Gar broke free of the hand on his shoulder with an ease that belied his size at flung himself at Kevin, wrapping him in a firm hug.
“Thanks for dragging me out,” he said as the situation processed. It took a heartbeat or two, but once it did Kevin hugged him back, sticking his face in his shoulder to hide how hot his face had gotten.
“Don’t worry about it,” he answered.
“It was fun,” Zak cut in, “I just hope we can do it again sometime.”
“Yeah, you’ve gotta come back, or we can come to you, or whatever,” Kevin said, pulling back as Fisk and Komodo affirmed their vote. “And if anyone makes you feel bad again, you call us, and I’ll come kick their ass for you.”
“Language, Kevin!” As if he was listening, as of you couldn’t hear a smile in the tone.
“I’ll try,” Gar promised, grinning at them.
His skin went dark when Kevin grinned back, and didn’t that just make something fizz in his stomach.
~~
“So, ‘I’ll come kick their butt for you’,” Zak half-asked half-teased as they were getting ready for bed that night. Kevin faced away from him and the others, mostly so they wouldn’t see him go red again.
“Shut up,” he said, followed by a muttered “he’s cute” that wasn’t, apparently, as quiet as he’d thought. Komodo snickered from his spot at the foot of his bunk, and Fisk sighed dreamily and cooed something about ‘young love’ in Lemurian from his. A glare over his shoulder revealed Zak stood there with the most shit-eating of grins on his face.
“Kevin’s got a boyfriend~” he crooned, and Kevin flung a pillow at him with an embarrassed snarl as he climbed under his covers.
“Worst brothers ever.”

I’d love to hear more of your Tony/Maria thoughts. For me I liked their meeting better in 21 and though I miss the light heartedness of their relationship, it was interesting seeing Maria point out a lot of societal issues to Tony. It’s a difficult couple to write Imo
Omgomg i finnally have the chance to go off
They sure are difficult to write i mean with what happened in the fight, with bernardo and riff and chino and then tony going to maria like nothing happened and begging (but not really) for her forgivness bc a womans love clears all mens sins.... i cant be that mad tho there's just something very special about them, for me at least, but some of it did made me mad in 2021 and i'll tell you why.
Well, i'll begin the the good bc i do agree with you nonny, i really loved how active Maria was in this ver, it felt like a different character than 1961 in some ways, it's as if she had more screentime too and i smiled every time she spoke bc she was speaking in spanish and in facts. How she spoke her mind to her brother and sis-in-law and then to tony to tell him how pointless and ridiculous a fight between both sides is bc one side is in clear disadvantage against the other... and bc she just doesn't want anyone to get hurt!!!!!! And what bothers me about the train scene is that tony was always trying to get the conversation to focus on him and his side, and yk what i get it! Riff is his bestie but why is he constantly bringing him up to get Maria to stop talking about stopping the fight.
another thing is that Maria also talked about her future plans, going to college, and doing something with her life (which wasn't something she brought up in 1961) and it just never gets adressed ever again(?) It could have been useful to support their plan to run away together but it just wasn't used because of reasons.
And then we have tony *takes a deep breath* i have a problem with 2021 tony and i'm tired of pretending i'm not. I'm gonna ignore the fact that he was played by *@&#*$&#*$# and go straight to the way he was writeen. It was fine until that scene in the mini market *cries in latina* and then he said he wanted to find a puerto riqueña girl just like doc because???? I dont even remember but thats enough for me to remember, it felt like he just wanted someone like that bc he envisioned the "perfect couple" and thats what it looked like (and tbh i feel as if he didn't change that mindset much but anyway). And the way he cuts maria off when she's talking about something important, more important that whatever relationship he has with his ex gang, is just weird.
There was something else about tony but right now i dont remember ;-;
Now....what i really have a problem with is the way THAT scene on the bedroom was handled. I know it's like the most controversial part of the show bc why would Maria sleep with the guy who killed her beloved brother. But at least 1961 tony explained why he did it, he said he had no choice bc her brother had killed his bestie (still questionable but yeah) and 2021 tony explained....nothing he didnt say a damn thing to try to get maria to calm down a little, he just stayed there waiting for maría to get over her completely understandable breakdown and he was ready to go before making sure she was ok i'm- *flips a table*
I guess there are other things that people smarter than me could point out but this is just what came to my mind first.
Even as i say all this, i really love wss 2021, every musical number is larger than life and the way so many things changed form 1961 and worked better than 1961 makes me so happy. This was actually the only movie i was excited for during the last 3-4 years i think. But 1961 is also close to my heart bc there's something about that ver that is really dreamy (the meeting scene for example) while 2021 went for a more realistic aproach. I love both of them. But i'm a sucker fo the "and the world disapeared leaving only them" trope in romance.
I could go on and on about what i liked about wss 2021 but this is already a long post 😭.
But yeah i think my biggest problem with this ver. is tony and maria's relationship. Everything else was chef's kiss.

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again
#yeehaw#1k#5k#10k#posts that got cursed. blasted. im making these tag updates after... 19 hours?#also i have been told it should say speech loss bc nonverbal specifically refers to the permanent state. did not know that!#unfortunately i fear it is so far past containment that even if i edited it now it would do very little. but noted for future reference#edit 2: nvm enough ppl have come to rb it from me directly that i changed the wording a bit. hopefully this makes sense#also. in case anyone is curious. though i doubt anyone who is commenting these things will check the original tags#1) my friend did not do this on purpose in any way. it was not intended to distract me or to hit on me. im a lesbian hes a gay man. cmon now#he felt very bad about it afterwards. i thought it was hilarious but it was very embarrassed and apologetic#2) “why didn't he use 🫵🏼?” didn't exist yet. “why didn't he use 🆗?” dunno! we'd been using a lot of hand emojis. 👌🏼 is an ok sign#like it makes sense. it was just a silly mixup. also No i did not invent 👉🏼👌🏼 as a gesture meaning sex. do you live under a rock#3) nonspeaking episodes are a recurring thing in my life and have been since i was born. this is not a quirky one-time thing#it is a pervasive issue that is very frustrating to both myself and the people i am trying to communicate with. in which trying to speak is#extremely distressing and causes very genuine anguish. this post is not me making light of it it's just a funny thing that happened once#it's no different than if i post about a funny thing that happened in conjunction w a physical disability. it's just me talking abt my life#i don't mind character tags tho. those can be entertaining. i don't know what any of you are talking about#Except the ppl who have said this is pego/ryu or wang/xian. those people i understand and respect#if you use it as a writing prompt that's fine but send it to me. i want to see it#aaaand i think that's it. everyday im tempted to turn off rbs on it. it hasn't even been a week

that scene in tlo where thalia tells percy he can't start feeling sorry for luke bc luke made his choices. and thalia reveals that the reason they couldn't make it to camp in time for all of them to make it to camp was bc luke kept picking fights. and annabeth never saw this as wrong bc luke was her hero. so thalia had to pick up the pieces. and percy thinking both that luke was put in a cruel position and that luke was putting others in a cruel position. and percy is the only character who understood both sides of luke bc annabeth sees only the best of him and thalia sees only the worst. and that's why percy is the prophecy kid and the one who gives luke the knife. bc annabeth had spent the entire series essentially giving luke the knife when he didn't deserve it. and thalia was never going to give luke the knife. but percy is the only one who can see exactly when luke deserves the knife.

Rowling isn't denying holocaust. She just pointed out that burning of transgender health books is a lie as that form of cosmetic surgery didn't exist. But of course you knew that already, didn't you?
I was thinking I'd probably see one of you! You're wrong :) Let's review the history a bit, shall we?
In this case, what we're talking about is the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft, or in English, The Institute of Sexology. This Institute was founded and headed by a gay Jewish sexologist named Magnus Hirschfeld. It was founded in July of 1919 as the first sexology research clinic in the world, and was run as a private, non-profit clinic. Hirschfeld and the researchers who worked there would give out consultations, medical advice, and even treatments for free to their poorer clientele, as well as give thousands of lectures and build a unique library full of books on gender, sexuality, and eroticism. Of course, being a gay man, Hirschfeld focused a lot on the gay community and proving that homosexuality was natural and could not be "cured".
Hirschfeld was unique in his time because he believed that nobody's gender was either one or the other. Rather, he contended that everyone is a mixture of both male and female, with every individual having their own unique mix of traits.
This leads into the Institute's work with transgender patients. Hirschfeld was actually the one to coin the term "transsexual" in 1923, though this word didn't become popular phrasing until 30 years later when Harry Benjamin began expanding his research (I'll just be shortening it to trans for this brief overview.) For the Institute, their revolutionary work with gay men eventually began to attract other members of the LGBTA+, including of course trans people.
Contrary to what Anon says, sex reassignment surgery was first tested in 1912. It'd already being used on humans throughout Europe during the 1920's by the time a doctor at the Institute named Ludwig Levy-Lenz began performing it on patients in 1931. Hirschfeld was at first opposed, but he came around quickly because it lowered the rate of suicide among their trans patients. Not only was reassignment performed at the Institute, but both facial feminization and facial masculization surgery were also done.
The Institute employed some of these patients, gave them therapy to help with other issues, even gave some of the mentioned surgeries for free to this who could not afford it! They spoke out on their behalf to the public, even getting Berlin police to help them create "transvestite passes" to allow people to dress however they wanted without the threat of being arrested. They worked together to fight the law, including trying to strike down Paragraph 175, which made it illegal to be homosexual. The picture below is from their holiday party, Magnus Hirschfeld being the gentleman on the right with the fabulous mustache. Many of the other people in this photo are transgender.
Tumblr media
[Image ID: A black and white photo of a group of people. Some are smiling at the camera, others have serious expressions. Either way, they all seem to be happy. On the right side, an older gentleman in glasses- Magnus Hirschfeld- is sitting. He has short hair and a bushy mustache. He is resting one hand on the shoulder of the person in front of him. His other hand is being held by a person to his left. Another person to his right is holding his shoulder.]
There was always push back against the Institute, especially from conservatives who saw all of this as a bad thing. But conservatism can't stop progress without destroying it. They weren't willing to go that far for a good while. It all ended in March of 1933, when a new Chancellor was elected. The Nazis did not like homosexuals for several reasons. Chief among them, we break the boundaries of "normal" society. Shortly after the election, on May 6th, the book burnings began. The Jewish, gay, and obviously liberal Magnus Hirschfeld and his library of boundary-breaking literature was one of the very first targets. Thankfully, Hirschfeld was spared by virtue of being in Paris at the time (he would die in 1935, before the Nazis were able to invade France). His library wasn't so lucky.
This famous picture of the book burnings was taken after the Institute of Sexology had been raided. That's their books. Literature on so much about sexuality, eroticism, and gender, yes including their new work on trans people. This is the trans community's Alexandria. We're incredibly lucky that enough of it survived for Harry Benjamin and everyone who came after him was able to build on the Institute's work.
Tumblr media
[Image ID: A black and white photo of the May Nazi book burning of the Institute of Sexology's library. A soldier, back facing the camera, is throwing a stack of books into the fire. In the background of the right side, a crowd is watching.]
As the Holocaust went on, the homosexuals of Germany became a targeted group. This did include transgender people, no matter what you say. To deny this reality is Holocaust denial. JK Rowling and everyone else who tries to pretend like this isn't reality is participating in that evil. You're agreeing with the Nazis.
But of course, you knew that already, didn't you?
Edit: Added image IDs. I apologize to those using screen readers for forgetting them. Please reblog this version instead.
