I’m so sorry but it needs to be said.

this makes negative sense, but to me, "oc" takes on a completely different meaning in the context of comics than what it means out in the wild. like there's new characters and then there's writer's ocs. being a writer's original character in the literal sense doesn't automatically make them that writer's oc, and actually, they don't even have to have been created by that writer to be their oc. it's all very diachronic

pixal, making her new body look butch as fuck bc she’s definitely just committing to nya’s bit and keeping an ironclad secret identity, no other reason: hehe he. hehe :]

A closer look at my young Askr siblings designs! Sharena's kind of constantly fluctuates, but I've always had a really clear vision for an early teen Alfonse.

I think I stopped feeling silly about how much Sleep Token has influenced how much I want to pick back up my practice (and honestly my motivation to practice) yesterday when I was on a binge of Chaotic Witch Aunts older videos and found out they had a small section of their alter dedicated to Florence Welch, and how they talked about how much Florence + the Machine influenced their witchcraft, and it was honestly very freeing lmao.

YES my username on yt is a blood bros reference :33 i need to go to crimes world again i know in my heart and soul that i love her but i seldom show her attention .. i need to care her more ..

HOOFRAY!!!! also pretty please do!!!!!!! for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you guys dont understand. when this revamp is done. im gonna be so active

what does more masc than butch mean to you (genuine curiosity)

basically in my head i have a scale and at both ends are high femme and butch and theres more neutral or leaning gnc and in my mind i just call it masc to be a softer or lesser form of gnc leaning masculine but not really butch. especially since butch also usually comes w an identity associated for the woman, but also there are many women who dress more masc but still keep some feminine aesthetics, such as long hair or don't always dress masculine and hence aren't really butch.

there's a fine line between 'this is a fetish' and 'this is just trying to appeal to young children'

Hello, could you tag your fandoms, or just tag you manga posts/reblogs as "manga"? I can't help it, I just don't like the style...

no

i just had like A Thought, as im making lambda gifs?

its weird to articulate and might not make complete sense, so bear with me

but like... comparing lambda and nu’s sword effects. there’s a cool distinction going on there, which is:

lambda, who is a predecessor but not necessarily a prototype, per se. her swords are more....... bulky and needlessly. clunky. jagged. comparatively. (despite it being called sword summoner EX in fight, ignoring that for the sake of simplicity, it to me just indicates nu existed first playably). i mostly noticed this from crescent saber ngl. 

but nu, on the other hand, the actual Proper murakumo unit wielder. everything is more streamlined and (they’re physically the same size but.. SEEMINGLY) compact and efficient. 

it just struck me as an interesting detail

one of the sources i’m reading right now is talking about the nakahara jun’nichi illustrations, and how when discussing them he talked about how he drew the women he would never be, with these highly idealized features but in extremely realistic contemporary clothing. and the author discussed how that feeling was very different from a male gaze or sexualized view, and how it made girls who saw them also see this idealized girl they could never be.

since his illustrations are foundational in establishing modern manga aesthetic, i think it’s fascinating that girls in manga are still like that… an unattainable fantasy. i just saw it in the sailor moon panel i just reblogged. something i could never be. i think that all the time. the hair, the grace, the fashion, the body, the mannerisms. it’s an image to long for, not sexually, but as something to embody within oneself.

it’s also hard not to see a lot of Gender in nakahara’s statements and how different his art was from many other men at the time who had also women as their primary artistic subject. combined with how takarazuka inspired tezuka so much, it’s really touching to see how much about modern anime and manga aesthetic we may owe to wlw, to gender non-conforming women, and, potentially, to gender non-conforming men as well.
