Traveling alone is quite dangerous for a girl.

(my toshiro overcompensating trans man hc)

bonus 1

bonus 2 ft. toshiyuki (middle brother) grown up a little but still a menace

#toshiro nakamoto #shuro dungeon meshi #my comics #i feel like when he announced himself everyone in the household was really excited his dad especially #1) now there’s an heir 2) cause he finally thought his kid was starting to be interesting and for a short time it was kind of novel #he thought it was so cool and edgy to have a son like that but then that quickly wore off #since toshiro didn’t start becoming like him or stop being a boring person to him #and lowkey the little inheritance competition where toshiros peers are like. a bratty 14yo and an 8yo.#is his way to walk it back that he should be the heir #even though he already got acknowledged and everything #meanwhile hien trying to be a woke affirming queen and just feeding his insecurities unintentionally “you’re a man aren’t you”#their friendship changes and they try to slot each other more into their gendered expectations and drift apart #toshiro compulsively works out and trains and carries himself and acts in certain ways #to be masculine in this very conventional way to affirm himself as a man and as the heir of a samurai family #and as a counterpoint to his wastrel layabout father #he becomes the kind of stealth trans guy who lives in constant state of fear and stress. to the point his little brothers have no idea #-> creates that distance emotionally from them #dungeon meshi #i think his relationship with his dad is absolutely horrendous hes a scummy guy through and through #but i personally enjoy bad relationships in fiction where there was something good to lose in the first place #and despite everything he does still care like in the first comic hes genuinely trying to be mindful #in his own condescending thoughtless way which like confirms all of toshiros worst fears about how his father sees him #like he really got assigned the retainers who are 1) 2 teenage girls one who wants to escape the other whos lowkey scared of him #3) his ex childhood best friend who things are weird with currently 4) random woman whos never even met him ONCE before #5) his smothering nanny/teacher ALL OF WHOM dont really respect him as a leader at all or have a professional rapport with him even😭#in his dads pov he was like okay ill assign women retainers so he won’t hide from them (wrong). also ones who wont intimidate him (wrong)#damn im smart! meanwhile toshiro having a breakdown over it

btw idk who needs to hear this but. it's okay to dislike that female character who was designed/written for the male gaze. it's okay to be uncomfortable, disappointed or upset. she's not even real. you're not a bad feminist or anything. you don't have to try to pretend like she's girlboss and isn't a projection of what that male writer thinks women should be. you don't have to defend her

being a child of divorce will make you conscious of things like 'bird misogyny' and 'bird grounds for divorce'.

#making a post about it because i've reached rito village and i find it SO FUNNY how no one mentioned that the two most prominent rito women #(saki and amali) talk like they're being oppressed. saki is like 'my husband is teaching my toddler how to be a warrior even though i dont #want him to become one and also he's gone on some murderous revenge rampage that will likely get him killed and leave me a single mom.#could u help.' and it's like. girl im not sure ANYONE can help you now. leave him. meanwhile amali is juggling 5 kids while kass is off #doing... what /is/ he doing? fulfilling his teacher's wish? smtg like that? anyway they should both leave. it's not worth it.#freya talks loz #it's so funny. literally all i've ever heard about botw's rito is that they're warriors so i walked in assuming that meant everyone #and also the very many fanfics/art/comics talking about how teba would feel conflicted about leaving medoh to link because he's so young #like sorry babes i know he's hot but teba does /not/ feel conflicted about rearing child soldiers. he's creating one in his own house.#maybe he's different after the vah medoh quest or in totk but the whiplash of expecting that and warrior rito women and realising that's #not how it is at all is SO FUNNY.#rito women need to fly south to meet the town filled with hot muscular women to teach them about feminism. and bisexuality #i think i've met harth's wife too but i dont recall either her or him saying much about each other.

i’ve never really understood why people like bronze age selina so much when it does close to nothing for her as an individual character. she’s killed off on earth two to make way for paul levitz’s dream batcat baby and on earth one she constantly worries about earning bruce’s approval by reforming into a hero who has no personal aspirations beyond being a hero for the sake of it. i’ve seen so many people say they miss this era for her and how well she was treated and it completely evades me as to why bc her importance outside of her relationship with bruce is practically non-existent. when you have a version of selina who’s unapologetic about her goals and doesn’t waste her time vying for bruce’s approval bc she knows he’s the one who should be trailing at her feet and coming around to her perspective why would you want anything else? why is this need to make sure selina is in bruce’s good graces so integral to her appeal as a character in the last two decades when even her original creators understood her appeal was her defiance and heavily guarded independence? that was precisely what attracted bruce to her: that she didn’t listen, and later on, in her post-crisis foundations, that she had valid reasons for not listening and subsequently casting him aside instead. married domestic tranquility between the two of them doesn’t capitalize on any of that

#to be deleted #it continues to puzzle me why dc shippers are so invested in domesticity like you have at your disposal #some of the greatest comic drama created and all you want these people to do is marry each other and maintain house 😭#it’s so so absurd like oh my god dc women are Crazy. let them be Crazy! the nuclear family life is not for them!

my blacksad women redesign art is blowing up, but I need some people to shut up in the reblog page man

#ignorelist #the fact those conjoined human mutated woman even exist in the universe is not good #does it not speak to you that this implies whoever writing and creating made a deliberate choice to make the most sex appealing women ever #(which funnily fails) which inheritenly fucking sucks cause it just imply some women characther is merely just sex appeal and thats it #they only ever make at the very least normal girl design when they are like kinda important to the plot or just background character ur jus #dont gave a fuck #sure other media do this also but it doesnt mean its good #it just get tiring man #not to mention most of the blacksad story character is mostly male with like actual variety of what their backstory and role in the story #and most of female character is just there to be love interest or damsel in need of rescuing which fall under the most overused trope ever #but whatever man just dont admid the comic is not one bit misognystic

Captain Marvel Adventures (1941) #45

#not Billy’s true nemesis- parenting #I actually think it’s really interesting how Captain Marvel’s issues with women go beyond being freaked out when they hit on him #he’s legitimately afraid of and avoids overbearing aggressive women #and he takes that you shouldn’t hit women to a comical level that creates problems when he has to fight female criminals #which is treated like a legit weakness as not as a respectable thing #this is a part of the comedic ethos of the character’s stories #which takes the approach that you don’t have to take the character seriously all of the time #and so doesn’t avoid making him look goofy even though he himself is not a goofy wise-cracking person #and I interpret those issues from a characterization perspective as a manifestation of the fact that he’s an adult with a child’s heart #which is different from just being a regular adult #so while he’s not an immature person he has some immaturity that’s unique to him #because Billy does not have those issues with women and has poked fun at Captain Marvel for them before #this story is making clear to me that Billy can have his own issues with overbearing women #in the form of being uncomfortable with being parented #which tracks from how this version of him was orphaned as an infant and then raised by an abusive and neglectful uncle #who eventually abandoned him after stealing his inheritance #so Billy has no positive associations with parenting and is ok with taking care of himself #his positive relationships with adults are with the best big brother ever Captain Marvel and his employer Sterling Morris #as well as the Wizard Shazam who’s mentoring could be framed in a parental light but is in actuality very distant from Billy #and not involved in his day-to-day life #wait now I’m thinking about how all of those characters are men and how Billy reacted to Mary getting the power of Shazam too #which was to be like but Mary can’t have the powers because she’s a girl which demonstrated a strong belief in gender roles #that was then affirmed by the story revealing that she actually had her own distinct different girl powers #and then he had a story in which he was essentially wrestling with his own assumptions about women’s minds #like that they were naturally suspicious and therefore that their suspicion about something was not to be taken that seriously #and his deep adoration for and faith in his sister which did ultimately win out when she was proven right and also saved him #fawcett comics #billy batson #my posts #comic panels

My dad just gave me an early birthday present. He’d taken all of my sketchbooks, from the earliest years to college, scanned them, and created a slide show that he put on for everyone to watch together.

All I could do was sit there in abject horror as he—essentially—displayed my life’s diary entries on the big screen for everyone to consume.

He’s so proud of it and I can’t even tell him how incredibly violated I feel.

#a huge irony is one the first first few images scanned was a comic I’d made in middle school depicting an incident with him #my father has picked up and read my sketchbook from the coffee table and when I saw him i asked him not to read it. he became enraged #and told me if it was in a public space it was for everyone to read #and since then I hid away all of my journals. i don’t show people my sketch work. i don’t feel like i have a right to privacy.#a lot of e middle school and high school stuff contains personal work and writing about how much i hated myself and how suicidal I was #and body dysmorphia. and it’s just become haha look at these skinny women with big boobs. you were such an angsty teen for no reason #if I do mention it he’ll bet mad again because it’s all in the past so why do I care. I’m so afraid he’s going to upload this #to the big family chat and everyone will see it and have a laugh #a lot of my childhood was him wanting me to ‘turn on the art’ for other people and create things on demand for him.#he still views my work like that. it’s meant to be created and enjoyed solely by other people

sorry for punchline posting on main again but i simply cannot stop thinking about her incomprehensibly bad character concept

#fictional pickme women created by misogynistic men to one-up other female characters..... pspspsps come here let me study u.....#truly the logic behind this character is vomit inducing. but i can't say im not a little interested in her just bc im a contrarian #just imagine how much better this reveal would have been 😔 they literally would never lol it would be too good to happen in a real comic #anyways if she ever emerges from her 'jokers better new gf' cocoon i will start unironically stanning #but you know. until then. killing and maiming and death and violence <3 #anti punchline #harley x punchline

Howdy! It's cloudy welcome welcome ☁️✨

Rowdy: out-going, unhinged, spontaneous, intense Cloudy: serene, melancholy, calm, introverted

Rowdy and Cloudy are two characters created on the balance between the intense rowdy gal and the serene cloudy girl ☁️

Hi, I'm Adri the artist & aspiring Art Therapist here documenting my progress! This is my art blog where I post fan art, and personal projects, and talk about my overall struggles as an artist & psychology student. I'm currently 25, my pronouns are she/her, and I struggle with depression/anxiety. I decided to "label" depression w/ cloudy & anxiety w/ rowdy bc I've noticed these are the 2 character tropes I tend to draw & relate to. Drawing has always been therapeutic for me, and I think it can help others even if you "suck at drawing". Creating art & documenting my thought process is my main goal for @rowdycloudygal and I hope to connect with you soon! :D read below for more personal likes/dislikes

posts that make you feel like you’re having a stroke

#two women staff writers on this show but sure!#let’s make this about the straight white man who wrote one of the rapiest comic books of all time! 😒#‘don’t you believe people can change Hannah’ well thanks for asking. I believe people can want more money out of a thing they created #and consequently they can let other people do the work of making that thing halfway palatable and not actively hostile to women #which itself is not evidence of personal change. hope that clears things up

I only just now saw that lineup for the new GotG ongoing... all I can say is I'm VERY sad that they're definitely going in a different direction from the Ewing stuff but idk what else I expected lol.

#lex thoughts #gotg thoughts #universe: 616 #i'm not going to say anything else about it im going to pretend that it'll turn out fine and not just be another retconfest #with weird depictions of women that i was just complaining about the other day but HEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#comics !!!!!!!!!!!#but i AM genuinely sad we're going to lose everything from the last run ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh #i guess anything i create depicting the Ewing version of the team will have to be considered my own fanon universe from now on LMAO

i think actually theres transformers who are trans and normal about it. including the canon trans characters. not including the one who only exists because of simon furmans incredible hate boner against women existing in any media. but im partial to people who seem like they would have really severe gender issues

#thats the backstory to the post i made a couple days ago btw #theres a like token female character thats existed in tf forever since the original cartoon and in the comics simon furman wrote in that she #was a male transformer who was kidnapped and evilly experimented on to turn into a woman (in a society of all men. unclear why you would #even want or know how to make a person in a single gendered race a New gender.)#and it turned her into like a crazed murder obsessed she demon #so like INCREDIBLY bad all around. they still regularly hire that guy to write on things btw.#OH and that comic wasnt like. old. the series only started in 2005. that was between 2005-2012 that that happened #in the MUCH OLDER comic he wrote for in the 80s or 90s he similarly gave the same character a fucked up backstory #that time that human feminists were outraged that all the transformers were men (which like. again. this is a conservative idiot but it just #does not hold up that a single gendered alien species is necessarily male)#and FORCED the transformers to create a new transformer that was a woman #oh but even WHEN they did the human women were outraged about it because she was too feminine and not feminine enough #because feminists are evil and want to ruin every ounce of fun men have for no reason i guess

sometimes comics that are critically acclaimed actually just suck ass because the critical acclaimers have bad taste in media. Sometimes critical acclaimers fawn over what is essentially Toni Morrison's Beloved, but worse quality-wise and sexist.

#Dying on the hill that image comics are bad actually #Like okay wicdiv is OKAY. It is not groundbreaking. Paper girls has a settler colonialism and linear progress problem.#Saga has a MASSIVE 'thinks women are aliens who need serious contemplation to understand and has NEVER taken care of a child' problem #Isola is. well. Full of colorism frankly as well as the fetishization of the indigenous viewpoint #It's all very much milquetoast leftism mistaken for groundbreaking political commentary #I also do not think anyone at image has drawn a fat person in their life #Like it's a gateway I GUESS. but these comics are um. They are not good.#there are ways that art can be objectifying and fetishistic that I cannot describe late at night in words but that do exist #And the inability for writers at image to create complex characters is a recurring problem #everyone's a one trick pony. and that works for teens okay? But yknow. mediocre comics

the way my brain is constantly on the verge of exploding about asari when i haven't even played mass effect

#me devs: lol they're all women #me exploding: THEY WOULDN'T HAVE GENDER AND IF THEY DID IT WOULDN'T BE AS WE RECOGNIZE IT #i could write like a 12-page single-spaced 10pt TNR paper on what the asari SHOULD be like #but the gerudo; viera; dc comics amazonians---they would be in the paper too #cis het men accidentally creating societies where lesbianism is the norm: lol sexy women
