#p4#persona 4#hanamura yosuke#yosuke hanamura#EVERYDAY IM HOWLING. EVERYDAY IM SCREAMING.#for context this comes at the heel of yosuke charging at mitsuo kubo in rage because of his flippance towards killing saki and he's hit har#but souji and kanji jump in to protect him#like ok a lot of things going on here such as the obvious OH MY GODDDD yosuke being yosuke and taking things on for himself#because he doesn't want to bother people?? because he's made it his own responsibility? because his survivor's guilt is still lingering?#i mean don't tell me he doesn't look at how he surrendered to his shadow like apart from his self-sacrificing propensity#i low key feel like everytime yosuke demands answers about saki's death from the murderer/god/etc there's this undertone of how#he would rather it have been him#he cheapens his own life so much and for what#BUT ALSO!! ALSO!! not just souji jumping in because we know he would he's down bad for yosuke BUT ALSO KANJI#listen you've all heard me talk so much about how i adore kanji yosuke friendships#i can't really tell whether it's kanji or souji that says “haven't we earned your trust yet” but it's a line that hits SO HARD#regardless of which one of them was saying it and i think it hits hard in slightly different manners#it's kanji's admiration and how he looks up to yosuke and how he wants to be closer to yosuke as a friend/kouhai/whatever you want#tatsumi “who's your partner now!” kanji has so much respect for yosuke he wants yosuke to rely on him too!!!#and this stands out because kanji is very conscious of social hierarchies and such but as a kouhai as yosuke's junior#he's so specific about wanting yosuke to treat him as an equal#i smtimes feel bad for kanji because he has a bit of that vibe of a poor puppy trailing after souyo because he wants to be in their convos!#he wants to be included! but critically he also just! wants them to SEE him!!#going a lil off tangent but i think kanji's attitude towards souji is very much one of kouhai respect like he understands his place#of like deferring to souji or getting advice from him and just generally regarding him as a reliable mentor#and it's the same with chie and yukiko? but idk man. with yosuke. guys. with yosuke i always feel like kanji wants to break that hierarchy#that convention. that social norm. to cross a line and be closer to yosuke.#he's more willing to tease yosuke in a way he doesn't with the other 2nd years. and this isn't coming from a place of disrespect either#AGAIN. KANJI REALLY LIKES YOSUKE. he wants to protect yosuke!!! he jumps at the opportunity for yosuke to rely on him!!#i'm getting delulu but there's those hints of “yosuke senpai i want you to see me as a man!!!” kind of energy here and i'm it's yknow hmm

The Rogues' rules are actually pretty funny.
1. Never kill a speedster
2. No identity thefts of a living Rogue
3. No killing children, women or capes
4. No drugs
5. Watch each other's backs to the end
6. Don't fight each other
7. There's nothing more important than family
8. Try to refrain from killing in general
#this is in order of most important to least important#number 7 is actually really funny because it doesn't mean what you think it means#the rogues state that family is the most important thing regardless whether you love them or hate them#family should always come first. if you love them you should protect them and be there for them#if you hate them then its your duty to get revenge#there is no hate more important to the Rogues' then the hate for family. and it should always be the main priority#dc#dc comics

#chuck Should be directing most of his ire at sam bc he's the one who always pulls off these crazy feats of love that#tie the cosmos into knots lmao#also this sam speech. ''you protected me from dad.... from lucifer....''#he did neither of those things baby but i understand you need to reframe your trauma (even tho the writers don't)#regardless this sequence of scenes is more compelling to me than anything in the following 3 eps#spn#liveblog tag#15.17#i like that it's titled 'unity' and features samndean having a physical altercation while chuck (dean mirror) convinces amara (sam mirror)#that nobody else in the universe understands them and that the only way for them to go on is by him absorbing her into himself#and he was able to convince her of this bc she was crushed that dean lied to her and intended to kill her to take down chuck#i like it. picasso

Traditional femininity is to misogyny as colorism is to racism
#or traditional femininity : misogyny :: colorism : racism#y'all remember your analogy formats from grade school? 😂#and yes I will eventually be expanding on this but basically#being traditionally feminine is a more acceptable/palatable way of being a woman and treated as something all women should aspire to#it doesn't protect women from misogyny but it does offer them some form of privilege considering that#femininity is very much a factor of both class and race#upper-class white women are inherently seen as more feminine than lower-class women of color regardless of how they act#which makes sense considering traditional femininity is a byproduct of white supremacy and the patriarchy#it's literally a tool used for control but sure let's shame women for not conforming to it#note that femininity isn't actually an area of oppression like lighter skin isn't one it's just misogyny and racism respectively#the more you move away from the acceptable way of being the more oppression you're going to face#not a 1:1 obviously but for simplicity's sake I'm making the comparison between the two

i've been wondering- what do you think of vash and ww's relationship to pain? do u have any thoughts on it??
cuz i was just thinking like. obviously they're both extremely resilient and don't care much if they get hurt in the process of achieving whatever, but like... as for the pain specifically, i have to wonder.
cuz i'm reading trimax for the first time and toward the end of the sand steamer mess kite basically asks if vash even feels pain. and i mean... he has to, since not that long ago he just hit the floor with a dramatic blood splatter lmao. but like.
is he just suppressing visible reactions? or does he just not feel pain unless it's above a certain level?
and i wanna know about ww too if you have thoughts, i just haven't gotten that far in trimax :')
forgive me if my wording is all over the place, i havent been very elegant in my words Lately, but i am always down to talk about specific shit involving vash and wolfwood,
if we're just talking physical pain, yeah, i think they feel pain normally!
For Vash, he is the master of repression throughout Trimax, so I think naturally, he keeps a strong face no matter the level of hurt, whether on the outside or inner. It's just in his nature to not allow others to worry about him by pulling through with a fake smile or in some cases, he feels like he deserves the pain inflicted on him so even if he's getting pulverized to shit or threatened against his life, he'd default to a silence as opposed to screaming in agony that might make people think he isn't feeling anything. It's probably also second nature for him to no longer yelp or cry at pain after the amount of years he's spent getting hurt, but i think this only applies if he isn't emotionally involved in a fight (which is rare, but it happens in ch. 38).
In terms of physical pain, he seems to feel it like how regular humans do. I've thrown together some examples where he goes owchie owchie owchie that aren't too spoilery:
The Emilio scene is kind of why I don't think he's just playing up the theatrics of feeling pain, though I do think he would on some occasion, especially since he roleplays with children all the time. Verbally saying "ow ow ow" could potentially be an instinctive reaction too or maybe a source of comfort. But yeah!! I think Vash has always been able to feel pain and it's not like being a plant has lessen his ability to do so. Any resilience built is tacked on due to him being alive for 100 years and being a guy with a clear painted bullseye on his entire figure that ends up getting him shot and scarred.
In the end, the pain that gets to Vash the most will always be on an emotional level rather than physical, but Vash is such a genuine person and so present when it comes to other people that even if it's a pain he can take, it'll still hurt him terribly in more ways than one.
For Wolfwood; I think in general, those under the Eye of Michael have a strong resilience to dealing with pain due to the regen potions and the amount of training forced on them. I don't think we ever get the full description of what exactly those in EoM endured throughout their younger years, but we saw WW get shot at an early age in chapter 12 and we can assume it happened more than once. Over and over again until he won't even flinch against it just like how killing without hesitation was attempted to be drilled into him. I don't really know how it works scientifically… but I fully believe that he's mostly numbed to the physical sensation of it and it's the psychological part that gets to him more. Wolfwood himself is a naturally skilled fighter too, not that that really has anything to do with his dealing with pain, but I think his focus and attention on a battle and his stubbornness to win kicks an adrenaline that allows him to ignore the pain.
Though, his body also gets sore and tired just like any regular human does and there's this instance where he goes owie too:
(While NOT as much as Tristamp WW does where he's cracking a cold one every goddamn minute, I do think Trimax WW has gotten used to taking regen pots and thus, can afford to be careless and not give a damn.)
So, physically, technically in canon, they don't really have anything that specially makes either of them unable to feel pain, but just as you said, they're incredibly resilient. And ultimately, the both of them are affected emotionally/psychologically that hurts them more than the physical aspect of it, considering how physical pain is almost a daily chore for them to deal with (Vash being hunted for sport for majority of his life + Wolfwood being involved in experiments/killings for majority of his life.)
I think Trigun in general, while showing physical pain being a strong factor of hurt for regular people like us constantly seeing civiilians get beat up or shot, it tends to boil down to the multiple varieties of pain when it comes to those who deal with physical pain often (Gung Hos, Vash, EoM members).
I didn't know where to put these comments but here are extra thoughts:
They're both evidently really good at hiding their pains or any mark of vulnerability. They both could have a hole in their chest and go days without anyone else noticing so long it isn't killing them.
They're both pretty reckless during battle, but I think for Vash, he already tries to avoid violence at all cost and thus, do in a roundabout way lessen his own chance of getting hit in hoping to not stir that violence against another. As a result, I think Wolfwood can be way more reckless and ends up getting hurt more unnecessarily as a result of it.
They both are capable of healing at quick rates so I'm sure that allows the pain to feel more temporary, less of a risk to sustain, and to further hone in not caring too much about getting shot. That only applies for themselves individually though because every time they see each other get hurt, they're always so so worried despite knowing the other will be fine.
i'm pretty sure i repeated myself like 800 times, but i hope this Answered the question SFGMSDKGSMDKH i also tried to be vague enough in my wordings and focus only on the beginning-ish of trimax so to not spoil! i hope u enjoy ur reading of it!!
#asks#thank you for sending this and for your curiosity on my silly thoughts#honestly i dont think this is very coherent but i hope it is at least comprehensible. if im like. missing or wrong about anything#feel free to lmk.....#i do think its so crazy though that vw both understand the other is not like a regular person by any standard#and like sure vash knows sees and breathes in the fact that wolfwood /is/ human but he also can't see ww as just Another human#bc that human is entrusted with his back and does a good ass job protecting it. ww is like#super abnormal to him but in a positive human way--#but where im going is that both of them know that about each other but still are so concerned all up with each other#Never once faltering in worrying about each other. granted theyre both so haunted by the amount of people theyv seen die and are thoroughly#afraid of that same thing happening to each other regardless of each other's monstrous capabilities of surviving but theyre just so#protective in some way as a result.#anyway i am sleepyg....

currently Many Thoughts, Head Full about the Guardian Tower dialogues re: the Rose
something something the Rose as an organisation views itself as the only solution to their view of the problem something something the way they actively drive out competition fundamentally undercuts their ostensible goal of “protecting people” and reveals that their anti-magic attitude takes precedence (nobody is surprised) something something the Rose have been repeatedly picking fights with Falconreach’s guardian patrols and thus testing Falconreach’s defences something something is it any wonder that these people showing up and offering to help rebuild the town post-Calamity almost incited a riot?
#dragonfable#honestly how did ANYONE in the Rose think that would go well#why would the town with a huge population of PEOPLE YOU MADE REFUGEES accept your aid on /that/ kind of level#help in battle because better an untrustworthy ally than dead? sure#letting you INTIMATELY know the details of their homes & streets & safety measures?#why would they ever view that as anything but a threat?#anyways look on paper an additional force helping protect people the way the guardians/paladins/dragonslayers do#with a lower barrier to entry and ability to provide basic skills to a large amount of the population#WOULD actually be a good idea and potentially reduce the level of danger of the MANY disasters that happen on Lore and in Greenguard#HOWEVER. regardless of how they like to present themselves. the Rose are. Not That.

The way Miles accidentally hits what seems to be - given the severity of Miguel’s reaction - such a huge fucking bruise with the “Are those claws? Dude, are you sure you’re spiderman?” and it’s this trigger for Miguel just fucking. Exploding with everything he’s kept under lock and key like. Resentment over the way he seems to feel deeply isolated in the emotional burden of what he does, blaming Miles for what he believes was the catalyst which led to him being in this position (RIPeter’s death), hitting back (verbally) to hurt with the anomaly comments when it’s like dude. If they keep your origin intact, you’re both the so similar, and because this kid is living proof of every doubt you’re trying to suppress.
#the breakdown genuinely fascinates me because like.#I see people pull this as a gotcha card against his argument when it’s like. I don’t personally think if it takes Miguel hitting absolute#emotional rock bottom before he flips over from ‘Miles is spiderman therefore to protect people he needs to adhere to canon’ to#‘miles ISNT spiderman in this framework he CANT be’ its like. something he’s consciously considering#or at the most it’s part of the doubt he’s trying to suppress#he hits emotional rock bottom and THEN flips hard#tries to cram his understanding of miles back into the canon framework but from the opposite side#from the side of someone who wasn’t ‘supposed’ to end up like this#IS THE PROJECTION PROJECTIONING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE MIGUEL#you lash out but what was said was literally fuelled by your own doubts#so you try force it all to still make sense within the same framework even if it doesn’t#it CANT#because you’ve fucking doublebind yourself into a path you’re ashamed of but believed necessary#and your lives experience is TELLING you there’s consequences to flouting this#so if there’s not in actuality#what does it mean. what does it mean about you. what does it mean about what you chose to do#you’ve doomed them all again regardless#my ass is extrapolating from my personal interpretation of him to be sure but. man. the mental illnesses this guy is carrying#tunes talks spiderverse

A phrase that's been running through my head the last thirty minutes:
"Optimus's battlemask is for your safety, not his."
#tfp au#tfp ratchet#tfp optimus prime#maybe I'm just feral#logically this would be technically true but not the whole truth#the battemask also protects oppy's intake and dentae#i don't know how sensitive Cybertronian dentae are compared to human teeth but it'd suck to break them regardless#plus y'know there's avoiding getting shards of teeth in your/his internals#in general it's proactive to have an additional shield there#... but this is also such an interesting idea to factor in#also i might just be in a bitey mood#~scene~

Everyone realizing Nemo has no plans of disbanding his murder cult what is more the assasins guild now: 😥
Nemo: "First of all, let's blow father's huge ass skull off the wall. Idc about that thing.
Second of all, Murder Tribunal needs to be reworked. I am no longer accepting every murder-happy idiot into the fold. Things will be ORGANIZED from now on. Whatever you do on your free time is your business, but killing done in the name of the guild will be done strictly by contract. No more killings for free. What? Yes, Father's ecstacy through murder will probably be annulled for many of you. Again, I don't care if you worship by dear old dad or not, but remember I am your leader and our guild comes first. Any religious preferences stay behind the door. What? Yes, of course you can worship Loviatar now, Caleb, I'm surprised you haven't already. Anyway, I want to officially invite all of you present to the wedding of our dear Clotilda and...Sorry, what was his name again?
#the dark urge#durge spoilers#dark urge#dark urge: nemo#nemo:listen if someone is willing to pay for murder the victim will die regardless if we take the job or not#someone else will do the job#nothing changes BUT we won't get paid#so let us do our job will you?#obv some people are off list. if a contract comes their way we'll deal with the contractor instead#no really it's actually in your jnterests#this is how duke ravengard gets protected by the assasins guild#ninefingers starts to pay nemo's guild a generous fee after like 5 assassins attempts. she has a lot of enemies and is tired#for some reason any rogue murderer trying to get to the new upstart who thinks he owns razimath tower ends up dead#a true mystery#Karlach as five or so fight-hungry assassins join her and Wyll in their fight in Avernus: what the actual hell Nemo

now that we know obi wan would canonically spoil Anakin’s kids, I wanna write a modern au where Anakin’s a single dad and Obi Wan’s his best friend and they both have these very complicated feelings for each other that they’re dutifully ignoring but in the midst of it all toddlers luke and leia call obi wan uncle and he babysits for them and gives them so much love and the ever-insightful leia keeps asking why uncle obi acts so weird around dad so he bribes her with ice cream and pretty things
#the day padme comes to pick up the kids she picks up on the vibes immediately and laughs herself hoarse#luke is completely oblivious unlike his sister but he still gets spoiled by uncle obi regardless#the protective guardian dynamics of tv-obi wan compounded by his complicated feelings for one anakin skywalker is exactly what I want#obi wan has a boring office job at city hall and anakin bullies him for it but Leia is very curious#obi wan taking Leia to bring your daughter to work day even before they get together bc he knows Leia’s interested by politics 😭😭#i feel like anakin would have a physical labor sort of job#maybe he does construction for Sith Corp or something#they met in hs and were friends through college and had a falling out when padme was pregnant but Anakin’s always been too important to obi#and now he’s determined to make ammends#ammends as in banging it out in Anakin’s closet so the kids don’t hear ayoooo#either anakin or obi wan is oblivious that the other one is making moves on them in this fic but I’m not sure which#all this to say I love a modern au single dad anakin obikin fic okay#obikin#anakin/obi wan#anakin skywalker/obi wan kenobi#anakin skywalker#obi wan kenobi#Star Wars#star wars fic#star wars modern au

hello! you are free to ignore but if you dont mind to answer, i want to switch to firefox, but i cant understand what search engine to use because it still uses google as a search engine but there arent really other options that i know of :(( do i need to change that or do i just keep google?? thanks and love your art :)
quick disclaimer that i'm not a tech person so some of this stuff may be wrong, but i've tried to switch to ecosia and oceanhero, which apparently won't collect as much data as google, but it doesn't really return good results for a lot of the more specific searches, like when you're looking for a phrase in a webpage instead of the webpage itself. that isn't really ideal for a student like me, so i haven't really switched away from google, which imo kind of defeats the whole privacy thing, but i've also got the firefox multi-account containers extension, which, in addition to letting you login to multiple accounts per site, apparently keeps separate cookies per container, so it's not really much of a dealbreaker for me to have to keep using google. otherwise, if you really would like to stop using google and the whole search specificity thing isn't really a bother for you, i've heard some pretty good things about ecosia and duckduckgo as well 030
tl;dr: what you decide to do depends on what you're looking for in a search engine. more specific searches = google; more privacy = ecosia, duckduckgo; microsoft rewards and uh... r18+ stuff? = bing, apparently?
#ask#Anonymous#regardless of what search engine you decide to go with anon i definitely recommend installing the multi-account containers extension#you can just search for it and it'll appear. bc that's literally the name#in trying to google for stuff to attempt to answer this with some actual information#i also learned firefox has total cookie protection on by default#meaning websites you go on won't be able to read your cookies from other sites unlike other browsers#so yknow. the more you know

Hey uh quick word of advice. If a member of an oppressed group of people has a criticism about your favorite media because it features harmful stereotypes against said group, your first reaction should not be anger defensiveness. Nor stating that people are being oversensitive. Sitting down shutting up and paying attention to what they're saying is what you need to do.
Otherwise you're not only complicit in allowing bigoted tropes to continue without criticism but you're ALSO a huge asshole by KNOWINGLY CHOOSING to belittle + disregard valid criticisms from oppressed groups.
#idc how protective you are of your interests. your feelings about your favorite media do not come before living subjugated groups of people#i saw someone acting Foolish today and it fucking. damn#no one i follow tho. if i follow u ur safe from my wrath But this is all good points to listen to regardless

The thing about a lot of the purity culture stuff is how it's also propped up by the anti-intelectualism. Which is how you get people earnestly Charlie-day-cork-board style arguing why anything they don't like has incest subtext, while insulting anyone who actually cares about analyzing real incest subtext.
It's also hard to do any serious analysis of the state of queer works, when the well has been so thoroughly poisoned between prople policing who gets to write/enjoy it, vs writers who see regular engagement with the premise of their writing as a threat.
#Like it's just surreal to read something with serious incestuous implications then go online#And it's verboten to even acknowledge it or you are evil - but reading the thing with incest subtext is fine bc it doesn't exist nope#Meanwhile the same fandom has wanked two unrelated characters into “like incest” but only if you ship them#And don't let my pfp fool you this isn't just about one fandom this has happened in every other fandom I've been in the last few years#I feel like I am losing my fucking mind lol#And yeah it does seem to be unfortunately related to how people see “representation”#Bc you will see people basically arguing that exploring queerness through fiction is inherent fetishization#Unless it's conforming to their strict Disney S&P department standards#And that this is to protect queers and stop the spread of ...degeneracy...yeah that is just 80's sex wars garbage lol#Meanwhile the primary argument made against this will be to claim that writing queer works is inherently radical#Regardless of context or quality or artist#And that they deserve praise and that criticism is just being a hater and those fags should be grateful to their genius actually and -#yeah that is just more conservative bullshit in a different hat#No you are not beyond reproach bc of your subject matter or identity no subject matter or identity are not inherently damning#It just feels like both of these “sides” are artificial and astroterfed so that we all lose either way#And I am so done with it lol like wtf why is everyone like this now
