Favorite MFB Friendships: Yu Tendo & Tsubasa Otori

“Your name’s Yu, isn’t it?” “Huh? You know about me? That’s so cool!” “Yeah, yeah I do. You’re the little boy who won the Survival Battle, and got the WBBA to agree to hold the Battle Bladers tournament. Isn’t that right?” “What? Little boy?!” “Though I hear your beyskills are, well, pretty good.” “Pretty good?! Who are you calling pretty good?!”

idk what shit-eating truscum needs to hear this, but your rhetoric directly harms people with culturally-specific genders. i’m native and two-spirit, that label describes my gender and my attraction. i use they/them pronouns and your “nonbinaries and cringey stargender trenders aren’t valid” bullshit is getting old. our languages were demonized and erased, our gender and attraction labels along with them. my experiences with dysphoria exist because of colonialist ideas of gender. we have been forced into arbitrary ‘male’ and ‘female’ categories by colonizers for centuries and truscum rhetoric perpetuates racist colonialist violence against natives.

your experiences are not universal, you’re not forwarding justice for trans people, and you’re definitely not an ally to natives or other people of color. you’re just a fucking colonizer.

chapter 13 hallelujah! looks like it will be masquerades turn to give some counseling

yeah! you predicted correctly!

and he has no idea what to do!!

I have no idea what made me start watching AlRawabi School for Girls. I fall asleep to watching TV (I know, I know) & needed something to watch, it was pink, they're speaking Arabic, holy shit?? that's as far as I thought. Sometimes I like just choosing something at random, go out of my comfort zone or expectations. I didn't read about it, I just played it. I do recommend watching it, but wow. It hits REALLY HARD. I was not fucking prepared for any of it. It is not a light watch, it is triggering as hell, it just grabs you right by the throat & does not let go. And it does it all against near pristine pink backdrops, which is maybe my favorite commentary of it all, bc that is really what misogyny does in the first place, across the world. This is not my culture, I'm a white American man, but for whatever my opinion after watching it counts, I'll just say that I think it was fucking incredible. I think it showcased really well the nuances of bullying & all the forms it holds, from the teenage girls, their families, society. 'Bullying' doesn't even sound like a big enough word for it all. Violence against women in its forms. It's something you watch & just sit in absolute stunned silence by the end. It has fucked me up & I'm pretty sure that was its goal.

Me, ranting about Huntlow and the negativity of fandom 😊

I get so disappointed when people think that Willow is a "gray mouse" in the shadow of the "colorful Hunter"… that Willow is "boring and unremarkable" and that Hunter "deserves a better partner" and so on.

Do you guys really think that in order to earn someone's love, you need to have a "higher status" or a "decent image" or what? Not cool at all.

Listen, not every single character needs a tragic backstory and meta-storyline to be valid and to be perceived as an INDIVIDUAL in the first place.

Especially in real life, not everyone is a "bright star" and/or a "charmer"… And I'm not even talking about the fact that in the case of Willow, she just happens to be an UNPOPULAR CHARACTER, not an UNINTERESTING PERSON!

On the contrary, Willow is freaking awesome! Have you ever seen her beta version??? The girl has the concept of a badass anime nerd who gets squeals from hundreds of simps just by adjusting their glowing glasses with a grin in an epic battle, and I'm absolutely here for this.

But that's not the point! I want to say that such calm and "simple" people like Willow are no worse than "brilliant" and complicated ones like Hunter. Let us coexist without putting some on a pedestal and drugging others through the mud, thank you!

"Dana really just made Huntlow out of nothing!! Willow doesn't even have the proper development that Hunter has! She seems like nothing compared to him!" WHY CAN'T HUNTER VIBE WITH REGULAR PEOPLE, PLEASE TELL ME? WHAT'S STOPPING HIM??

Or is he a playable Sims 4 character who has been banned from interacting with NPCs???

This nonsense is reminiscent of the situation when Lumity officially became canon. Back then, some vievers were outraged that Dana didn't use the trope "Will they or won't they?" for this ship. It really seemed unrealistic to them that teenagers could just...get into a relationship in an instant! In our world, we can become someone's friend, lover or enemy in a very short time, without big plot arcs and fillers that could prevent this from happening. So what exactly should be wrong with fictional characters falling in love quickly??

Don't forget that only from our perspective, TOH universe is a piece of media with a script and a plot. But the characters themselves inside this very universe are ordinary dudes who live their lives carelessly and do not suspect anything about the 4th wall.

So please just let them be!
