nothing worse than having real person appointments when you don't feel like a real person

Jungle Climber redraw i did at 2AM U>U

The original;

heyyy (with the intentions of getting someone to explain football to me)

i wish you guys could see the notion page i’m making for the icoamd rewrite because i’m actually being serious about the world building this time and it’s getting a little crazy

I’d kinda forgotten why I was so affected as teenager -> early 20 yr old by the whole “beat the shit out of me so I can lay to rest everything ugly inside I’m ashamed of” request in the rank 10 but yeah. internalised homophobia experience for real.

Okay last post before sleep cuz ngl though I'm not gonna put Conan in p5 simply cuz there's Too Many Things going on with him that I'd have an easier time with Kaito instead which also, can yall see the problem then? Conan and Kaito is similar in that they're both pursuing and being targetted by a dangerous organization, Kaito is at risk a lot more considering how he's practically putting himself out there with his heists as Kaito KID while the times Conan gets in danger is when he tries to get closer to any of his org nemesis' henchmen for evidence, which doesn't happen often.

But despite that Conan has A Lot of reliable allies, Kaito included (not really on the "reliable" part but more on the "ally" part). While Kaito only has Jii-san which is the same guy making the KID gadgets for him and Conan (again not a "reliable" one for Kaito but still an "ally"). And like???????? What about Kaito's other allies? I'm not counting the group Kaito got pulled into by his childhood friend which is a group made to Catch KID and not help 'Kaito.' Like, what kinda allies are that, Aoko only wants to catch the magician thief, Hakuba is... Hakuba (he can be an "ally" but like Conan, not a reliable one), and there's that... witch who never really does anything much to help but give out warnings. (I forgot her name holup... AKAKO! There we go).

Compared to Conan who has like, a lot, and most of em are spoilers so if whoever reading this wanna get into dcmk, feel free to skip. There's Agasa that's the one creating the gadgets for him, Ai who knows his secret and is practically in the same boat as him (since she was a scientist from the org that wanted out yet shrunk too), Heiji which is like his bestie who's a fairly good detective, THE AKAI FAMILY (That entire family is a mf unit bro, there's a FBI sharpshooter, a mom that's a mi6 agent, another highschool detective with skills on par with Conan that knows jeet kune do, a shogi master that's also insanely good at strategizing in general. Like bro, wtf), Furuya Rei aka Amuro Tooru aka Bourbon-- Also a wtf moment there. CONAN HAS PROTECTION FROM VERMOUTH, one of the most important members of that same organization he's pursuing. Vermouth refuses to hurt and especially kill Conan and Ran.

Like, that kid has it all meanwhile Kaito DOESN'T HAVE ANYONE??? The treatment here. So yes, I'm only putting Kaito in p5 cuz he deserves ppl to be there for him if there's barely anyone in his own source material. (Maybe I'd even put Hakuba in p5 too, as a treat, cuz he's also gotten the short end of the stick too). Hakuba can be with Akechi to put some load off his back with the addition of Another thief getting added in their universe except Hakuba is also a menace of his own way so honestly, good luck Akechi.

karkat killed the queen of england

was scrolling on a taylor blog for fun taylor posts and saw the most heinous most factually incorrect most ‘all arabs are muslim terrorists’ pro israel take im seething with rage i have never ever seen anything so blatantly wrong and disgusting. i do it to myself by venturing outside my dash literally never again

fresh out of hoots to give

Speaking of lolcalisation issues, you know some of the Monsters in echoes are referred to as Kami, Kaga also referred to the spirits that power tomes as Kami, and it all takes from Shinto-ism. Basically beings like Naga and Rhea aren't viewed as supreme beings in the Japanese version. Kami includes tons of minor things we consider very non godly.

This is what I meant when I said FE15 retconned Gaiden, in Gaiden, Duma and Mila were not dragons.

Were they Gods like "Yudu" from Jugdral ? I don't know, and we might never know, but afaik, they weren't dragons like Naga, Bantu and co.

Now, about FE16...

Sothis is supposed to have created worlds, and Sothis can create on her own "life" (who was Tiki's dad?). Sothis creating worlds and sentient beings would put her, imo, on par with Tellius's Ashunera in the "God" scale.

What are Nabateans then? Rhea says many times that Nabateans cannot match Sothis in power or in miracles, could they be seen as lesser beings/spirits compared to Sothis? If Sothis is the "supreme being", then the Nabateans are obviously lesser but sill more "godly" than random humans? Idk.

So while Fodlan, in general, sent more mixed signals about the existence of a Supreme Being/God in Sothis (like Tellius), Billy's class and journey to reach "enlightment" and to guide people, the nods to Avicii and the three poisons - basically what friends already wrote about all the buddhist influences - fell back in a traditional JRPG setting mirroring the "born shinto marry christian die buddhist" paradox.

Of course to ask the team who lolcalised FE16 to bring those concepts to an audience that, per them, loves earl grey, was to ask an squirrel to jump to the moon. But from what you're saying it's not something exclusive to FE16 and it's more of an issue in general with some lolcalisations...

You're literally ex Muslim from a Muslim country you know so much more on this matter than her

literally 😭😭😭 like yes pls white american girl tell me about how oppressive it is to live under sharia law and how hard women have it in muslim countries. truly as a non-hijabi, muslim-born woman born & raised in a country that has sharia, i definitely need someone who never had that sort of experience whitesplaining to me.

woh. finally got a good chunk of the way into ponniyin selvan and maybe it's just my translation but theres a little explanation section at the end of every chapter to help with some tamil words....but fr they explain maybe 1 out of every 5 bits that would be ILLEGIBLE to anyone who doesnt have a good handle on specifically south indian hindu myth and tamil nadu history. im doing ok language wise 👍🏾 like its been a few years since i was really in that world but if im struggling idk how non brown ppl would manage. even little things, poetics, word games....kuruvaikoothu scene was interesting though

my one weird iguess lore take is that i find phil so moe ilike kinda forgive him for everything does that make sense

Just me over here… I think Foggy!Sun/Moon’s rent in my head is due… and they’re refusing to pay… oh well, time for an eviction notice.
