tag yourself, I belong to other troubled folk

my friend, a member of queer community, forgot the phrase "queer community" yesterday and instead said "women and other troubled folk"

I really, really don't like polls.

I had a character development since I posted this. Polls are fine.

I really, really don't like polls.

kishimoto forces me to learn how to draw feet, because it feels wrong to have badly drawn feet on my naruto fan art

i just can't do it to naruto

what will happen if you drink suigetsu??

can you like... pee him out?..

Me: A handshake is a symbol of trust. My friend: And also of being gay. Anime taught me that.

you know what

naruto post vote 2 not realizing that he's in love with sasuke and sasuke getting it first and then just rolling with it without explaining anything to naruto just waiting for him to have an epiphany all on his own

that's the shit

my character flaw is that I can't stick with a pseudonym

I think a lot of people lose sight of the fact that at the beginning of Naruto Sakura is a 12-year-old (just like her teammates).

Her behavior towards boys and Sasuke in particular is very much on point for what actually happens to kids at that age (judging by my middle school years at least). It's okay for kids to be stupidly obvious and persistent when in love.

If she were an adult, her infatuation with Sasuke would have probably been short-lived. After all, reasonable adults stop pursuing relationships after being rejected.

But Sakura is a teenager experiencing her first love. She hasn't had the chance to learn from failed relationships and her standards are pretty low. So when Sasuke keeps ignoring and rejecting her it's easy for her to romanticize the situation anyway.

Even at the end of the series she's still only 17. And who on earth expects rational and level-headed choices from a 17-year-old?

As much as I wish Kishimoto would have given Sakura an arc of realising that she deserved more than what Sasuke had to offer her, there's a ton of real life examples of people proceeding to marry a person who's not all that interested but has a "why not" attitude. So I can't judge her for believing that Sasuke is going to make her happy.

My friend: How can people be so wrong? Me: What about? My friend: Everything. All the time. My friend: ... My friend: Characters, mostly.

here's what I have to share with you on this beautiful trans visibility day

my friend and I often joke that if a male character in anime doesn't have nipples he's a trans guy with a top surgery and just opted out of them

this makes all male characters in naruto trans

blocking and reporting porn bots as a part of my daily routine has become something that I calmly accept the same way I accept the necessity of brushing my teeth

tbh it's kinda wild

my friend: one thing about everything is that it's never forever

Me: Do you know what dry shampoo is? My friend: Of course I know, who doesn't know that? Me: Well, I dated a lot of people who didn't know what dry shampoo was. My friend: Were they babies? My friend: ... My friend: Yeah, no, strike that.

if there's a trope that instantly kills suspense of disbelief for me, it's the tragic rain of sadness i.e. when it begins to rain the moment something sad and personal happens to the character

the fact that getting criticized by my boss scares me way more than the perspective of getting fired is wild y'all

my friend: I had a mental breakdance today

a skill that I mustered and that I'm really proud of: seeing a hilarious tiktok, experiencing the urge to send it to my friends and then resisting this urge and NOT SENDING IT TO ANYONE

this tuesday I got diagnosed with adhd it wasn't a surprise, yet my mind is blown by the amount of things in my life that make sense now

like why the fuck has fever always made me much more productive when I was younger and still created comics regularly, I would always draw the most detailed art when feverish fever makes my mind quiet and my focus sharp, and despite all expectation to the contrary some of my best work is done when my temperature is 38°C or higher and you know fucking what?

I googled it and apparently it's very common for people with adhd and autism and there's even a potential explanation of this phenomenon:

"For many years, the parents of children with autism have reported that behavioral symptoms diminished when the child had a fever. The fever phenomenon has been documented in at least two large-scale studies over the past 15 years, but the reasons behind it have continued to mystify scientists.

Now, a new study by researchers at Harvard Medical School and MIT sheds light on the cellular mechanisms that appear to underlie this phenomenon.

In a study of mice, published Dec. 18 in Nature, the researchers found that in some cases mimicking bacterial infection, an immune molecule called IL-17a is released and suppresses a small region of the brain’s cortex linked to social behavioral deficits in animal models." — Harvard Medical School news (2019)
