Doccy PLEASE TELL THEM THAT ALL THOSE FICS WHERE THETA IS CUTE, PURE AND INNOCENT ARE A LIE. HE IS NOT

Doccy PLEASE TELL THEM THAT ALL THOSE FICS WHERE THETA IS CUTE, PURE AND INNOCENT ARE A LIE. HE IS NOT RAINBOWS, please I am going to cry.

i don't really read fics, but yeah - theta is a little bastard. he canonically scraped through his academy exams with a 51%, failed his driving test, and was born into an extremely wealthy and powerful family. he's basically that rich kid who (nearly) flunked high school and crashed his dad's car on a joyride.

i'll admit that he had plenty of positive traits - pacifism, curiosity, creativity, bravery, etc. while it's true that he killed another student (torvic) and destroyed the body to avoid punishment, it was after years of violent bullying and it was on koschei's behalf. but he's definitely a far cry from cute, pure, or innocent.

if anything, koschei (the master) was the "better" of the two. he was a disciplined star pupil and a bit meeker than theta. they were both problem-causing little shits, of course, but theta was twice as much of a mess.

So a while back I won a cheap eBay auction listing for a collection of love letters from the first world war.

They arrived today, and...the listing was WAY more than I expected for the price I won it for. There's over 100, and they're not just from WWI, but from 1906 (earliest I've found so far) through to 1915.

Charlie writes to his girlfriend, Gertrude. This is the most beautiful, lovesick stuff I've ever read. He sends her so many letters, sometimes twice a day, and lots of poems. He seems to have been an artist, as he talks a lot about small exhibitions of his stuff, and included a flyer for one. He also talks about how her parents don't approve of them and how he's desperately awaiting the day they'll be married.

I haven't found the latest of the letters, but the fact it's up until 1915 and then stops...doesn't give me hope for a happy ending.

This man continuously refers to his precious beloved Gertie as his queen and goddess, and whilst most of it is sickly sweet, there's some raunchy stuff too, with him talking about how he can't wait until they have a little house together and can 'please each other all day'...

There's. So many.

I'm going to put them in order by date, read them through, and then maybe even transcribe them so we can find out a bit about Charlie and Gertie's love story.

Shozenji, A Japanese LGBTQ Safe Temple Run By A Transgender Nun

Matcha reports on Soshuku Shibatani, the transgender head nun of the Shozenji Temple in Moriguchi City, Osaka. It  is Japan’s first temple built as a refuge for the LGBTQ community.

Soshuku Shibatani, a 65-year-old openly transgender Buddhist nun, was assigned male at birth: 

She began to identify as a female in elementary school but never dared to express her gender identity at the time. As a university student, she met people similar to her and briefly lived at ease among like-minded peers. However, upon entering the workforce, she had to hide her true self once more…

According to Ms. Shibatani, “Buddha saw beyond the differences of gender.”

There is no need to hide your true self. Ms. Shibatani gradually became interested in Buddhist teachings and enrolled in community courses at the Graduate School of Koyasan University. She later resigned from her company, joined the priesthood, and went on to study Esoteric Buddhism.

Ms. Shibatani stated, “Shozenji is not exclusively for the LGBTQ community, but rather a temple for everyone.”

“The Kannon Bodhisattva has no gender identity,” Soshuku Shibatani says. A statue of Kannon, the Buddhist deity of mercy, is enshrined in the temple. Others see Kannon or Guan Yin  as a female incarnation of the Buddha.

never gonna get over the this. the faces of two women that Know Things but aren't allowed to say anything 😭💀

To see this representation on a show I have loved for so long means more than I’ll ever be able to express. I often wondered if I was crazy for believing something like this could happen on a show as established as Doctor Who, but 2022 has felt like a dream I never want to wake up from. As a result, 2018 me will be crying until further notice.
