Is Destiel Canon Yet ?

11/5/2020: Yes.

This is the post directly before. This is greek tragedy

I am OBSESSED with this tiktok

every sentence in this is like being punched from a different direction

I’m crying at the tags

things that still freak me out: those sinks americans have in their kitchens that you can destroy stuff with

Honestly this post has been on my mind all day. Those weird destructosinks for people with too much money are apparently common in America. And Americans get defensive over them.

Well don’t come crying to me when your wean gets eaten by the fucking kitchen sink.

hOLY SHIT WHAT IF U TRY AND CLEAN THE PLUG AND TURN IT ON IM SO SCARED

Okay it took me for-fucking-ever to figure out wtf you guys are talking about are you talking about garbage disposals? Like down the drain??

with the spinny knives

No knives, just a dull piece of spinny metal.

you realise it takes the same amount of force to cut thru a carrot as a finger

i dont know what you do over there but we usually don’t stick our hands in our sink drains

who’s going around fisting sinks anyway

“don’t come crying to me when your wean gets eaten by the fucking kitchen sink”

is that person saying they fuck kitchen sinks? is that what I just read? they put their dick in the sink’s drain and they fuck it?

dont sinkshame

Child. Wean means child.

Okay, so you put your CHILD in a sink and stuff them down the drain? That’s… that’s definitely worse.

This post is an experiance.

Wait, other developed countries don’t have garbage disposals??? The only time I didn’t have a garbage disposal was in a crappy cheap apartment in college. Scraping food off plates into the trash, then the trash smells… ughhh.

I will reblog every garbage disposal post to cross my dash because the culture clash is hilarious

America: We’re fine with having an industrial mangler in our sinks, but a bidet attachment for our toilet IS JUST WEIRD.

At least we don’t have industrial manglers in our toilets

Maybe YOU don’t…

Americans are so weird

I just scrap off the food, throw it into the trash (because there are trash for everything, separated) and then when it's full I throw it outside, inside those bigs trash cans, depending in the category the trash falls into

the reason sasunaru never became canon is because sasuke knew if he confessed he would be sent to ultra hell and then who would be here to secretly love naruto?? gaara??? as if sasuke would let that happen.

The contrast between the dabi on tv and the dabi in front of shoto and endeavor

One of my favorite things about this weeks chapter is the contrast of how he shows himself on TV this very moment vs how he is acting this moment.

On TV he shows himself as a vulnerable person.We see him with his hands on his head at first and with no shirt on.He wants the viewers to see all his horrible scars and make them understand how horrible of a person enji truly is by talking about his past.

But the dabi we see in person right now is different. He is laughing, he's dancing and he's not talking about his childhood.Instead he's talking about the years after he left home to them.He talks about his hatred for endeavor in a very obsessive manner,he's reffering to shoto as if he's an object to take from enji while the former is still present and even admits to sending a dangerous criminal to Endeavor's home knowing his siblings still lived there.

On TV he merely shows us apart of his past and true self.But in front of endeavor and shoto he freely shows us his very ugliest side and I love it

while i get and agree with the fact that gay people should probably play gay people and gay stories are best written by gay people, the fervor to prove that “straight people shouldn’t play gay characters!!” is what the interviewer used to forcibly out lee pace so like

idk maybe slow your roll and realize that like… actors can be closeted, content creators can be closeted, and tbh this “you can only write your own experiences, never write someone else’s” rhetoric is also a bigot’s fucking wet dream?? like the perfect excuse to never write diverse characters?? and to say that they have nothing in common with people who don’t look/love/exist the same way as them??

yeah, the author of simon vs the homo sapien’s agenda is a cis straight woman, which means love, simon (though directed by a married gay man with multiple gay characters played by gay/bi actors) is based on a novel written by a straight woman… but this straight woman literally ends her book acknowledging the LGBT teens who helped her write the book and make sure she was writing it appropriately.

this is the content we want

listen… EVERY SINGLE piece of media EVER involves some level of writing about experiences that are not your own, especially if it’s diverse. even bland stories just about white people involves an author writing about genders that are not their own. if you want a story with characters of color, white authors are going to have to write about those perspectives. if you want gay characters in every story, straight authors are gonna have to write about those perspectives. even LGBT narratives might involve gay authors writing about bi characters or cis authors writing about trans characters.

what we HOPE FOR when they do that is that they talk to people… actually belonging to those groups to learn what is and isn’t appropriate and true to life. which is what the author of simon vs the homo sapien’s agenda did.

it’s exactly what she did. she literally worked in a support group for LGBT and GNC kids, saw they did not have cute love stories written for them after they told her this, and then worked with them to give them the love story they craved.

this is a good thing. this is progress for lgbt people. this is the path we need to walk towards getting LGBT content created by LGBT authors.

when you attempt to take the ~moral ground on protesting this film, all you’re doing is telling people who fund these projects that gay products don’t sell. they don’t get the nuance of what you’re going for. and, chances are, you’re looking like a fucking hypocrite, because i can promise you most of the canon gay characters you stan profit a cishet somehow (if they’re even canon).

so, y’unno, as someone who has read simon vs the homo sapien’s agenda AND seen the fucking movie let me tell you!! it’s fine!! it’s diverse beyond having gay character, it’s written respectively, and it hit home on a lot of experiences i WISH i had as a gay teen. it’s corny, it’s silly, and it’s all i ever would have wanted at 13, 14, 15

if you don’t want to see it, just fucking say so! but don’t act like you’re doing it on moral grounds. you can just… not like a movie or not want to see it without it being some moral victory.

let me also add from a writing perspective that writers should in no way be limited to write only about their own race, class, sex, gender identity, or sexual orientation when they create characters.

think, for a moment, about how absurd that sounds. let writers challenge themselves to create diverse casts of characters. let writers learn to write from points of view that are not their own. not every work of fiction is an autobiography. 

this “you can only write your own experiences, never write someone else’s” rhetoric is also a bigot’s fucking wet dream

When Lena Dunham was asked why there was no diversity in her show Girls she responded that she was writing about her own experiences and therefore could only write about white women.

Also the author of “Love Simon” was working on the sequel, about a bisexual girl, and during that work she realized that she was bisexual herself.

Let’s not bully people into revealing or finding out their identities!! Let’s instead encourage GOOD representation regardless of the author’s identity, and here I’m specifically talking about LGBTQAI+ identities. I didn’t know I was bi until after college. Let’s give each other time and grace to figure things out. In the meantime, do research and hire sensitivity editors

For my horror nerds! Here’s a guide to horror subgenres:

Little note: Not a fan of the term bumpkin or redneck horror, in most cases you can use the term rural or extreme rural horror instead. Only issue is that some people also refer to folk horror as rural horror. Clarifying as American rural can be a helpful distinction to avoid this mixup!

wuxia: a general yet probably too verbose introduction to the genre, pt2

and now we get to the actual conventions – although more accurately, these are just the ones that I either noticed the strongest or had the most difficulty adjusting to, when I was first getting into wuxia. 

Not all stories have these elements, and of course in a genre as varied (and as old) as wuxia, there are twenty exceptions for every rule. What’s more, one story’s mild admonishment (”well, X is frowned on, but I guess if you’re just low-key about it”) can become the next story’s worst taboo (”omg you did X, you must be shunned! SHUNNNNNNNNNNed.”). 

Like any other living genre, authors will shift/tilt convention as needed to drive a story’s conflicts. 

btw, it’ll probably be a few days before I can do an introduction to MDZS, which should give time to @guzhuangheaven, @atthewaterside, @dramatic-gwynne, @the50-person, @drunkensword (and anyone else) to point out everything I misunderstood, over-emphasized, misinterpreted, or just plain missed.

ONE YEAR WITH THE UNTAMED

Quick intro to Moxiang Tongxiu’s Danmei novels

Most of you should’ve already known about Mo Dao Zu Shi. Let me just get this straight: No words can express how much I adore this novel. Moxiang Tongxiu’s writing style and character designs hit me right in the feels. If you are just like me, you love Mo Dao Zu Shi and you want to explore her other works, here is a quick intro :)

In order of publication, presenting you:

1. 人渣反派自救系统 / The Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System

Synopsys (taken & modified from NovelUpdates):

Shen Yuan is reborn into a scum villain in a typical harem novel. His character is Lord Shen Qingqiu.

But it must be known that the original Shen Qingqiu was sliced alive by his disciple and also the protagonist, Luo Binghe, into a human stick! A human stick!

Then, why, as a scum villain, should he still have to take the bullet for the protagonist and sacrifice himself?

Simply because he wants to save his own ass and prove that even scum villains can live, and live coolly at that!

But incidentally, in the mid of trying to save his ass, Shen Qingqiu made his disciple Luo Binghe fall for him, and fall for him really hard…

This is the story of a master and disciple’s unknowing, strange and cheesy process of falling in love.

It’s also a scum villain’s firsthand account of the male protagonist turning from a small white sheep into an overbearing Demon king…

Length: 81 chapters + 14 extras

Translating group: Cnovel

Personal review:

- Breaks all the 4th walls you can ever imagine.

- Intensively hurts your stomach. It will.

- Angsty yet hilarious love story of a crybaby disciple and a thick-skinned, sarcastic master. Also really cute supporting characters.

- Rather simple, easy to follow plot.

- An excellent starting point into System-based fantasy novel (what is System? Read to find out!).

.

2. 魔道祖师 / Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation

Synopsys (for the benefits of those who haven’t yet known about this masterpiece) (taken from NovelUpdates):

“As the grandmaster who founded demonic cultivation, Wei WuXian roamed the world in his wanton ways, hated by millions for the chaos he created. In the end, he was backstabbed by his dearest shidi and killed by powerful clans that combined to overpower him.

He incarnates into the body of a lunatic who was abandoned by his clan and is later, unwillingly, taken away by a famous cultivator among the sects—Lan WangJi, his archenemy.

This marks the start of a thrilling yet hilarious journey of attacking monsters, solving mysteries, and raising children. From the mutual flirtation along the way, Wei WuXian slowly realizes that Lan WangJi, a seemingly haughty and indifferent poker-face, holds more feelings for Wei WuXian than he is letting on…”

Length: 113 chapters + 13 extras

Translating group: Exiled Rebels Scanlations

Personal review:

- I FREAKIN’ LOVE THIS.

- Epic story spanning across northern ancient China, involving taking down monsters, killing zombies, hunting ghosts, solving murder cases, training teenage cultivators, raising children (okay, maybe not that…) and so much more.

- Slowburn romance that is just perfect because it is, yes, so slowburn. And have I talked about how much I love the couple?

- Prepare tissues because it’s so gonna hurt.

- Excellent cast of supporting characters. (Jiang Cheng I love youuuuuu)

- The sheer amount of ambition from the author. She smoothly blends so many issues including politics, the grey area of morality, redemption, hatred and forgiveness into a beautiful romantic tale.

- What are you doing?!!! Just drop whatever you are doing and read this!!!

3. 天官赐福 / Heaven Official’s Blessing

Synopsys (taken from NovelUpdates)

“Eight hundred years ago, Xie Lian was the Crown Prince of the Xian Le kingdom; one who was beloved by his citizens and the darling of the world. Unsurprisingly, he ascended to the Heavens at a very young age.

Now, eight hundred years later, Xie Lian ascends to the Heavens for the third time as the laughing stock of all three realms. On his first task as a god, he meets a mysterious demon who rules the ghosts and terrifies the Heavens… Yet unbeknownst to Xie Lian, this demon king has been paying attention to him for a very, very long time.”

Length: 244 chapters + 4 extras

Translating group: Sakhyulations

Personal review:

- Even more epic than Mo Dao Zu Shi in terms of scale. Spanning across 3 realms - the Heaven, the Human World and the Underworld.

- Splendid blend of humour, mystery, war drama and, beware, so much angst.

- A love story that took 800 years to unfold. 800 YEARS!!! Their love is so pure it will strike the deepest cord in your heart. Ragpicker Crown Prince Heavenly God uke (yes, you read that right) x Extremely Loyal Thick-skinned Demon King seme. What a combo.

- Also with those 800 years, you follow Xie Lian’s journey through the most remarkable ups and downs. What he goes through in 800 years is a humbling tale of a person who has probably seen it all. Make sure you embrace yourself for this. It really is going to hurt.

- Even the supporting cast have really solid backstories. And most of them are truly adorable. Basically all of her works have great supporting cast lol.

.

Some fantastic additional information I thought I should also share:

- The Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System: A donghua adaptation has been confirmed and production will probaby start next year.

- Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation: As I have always screamed about, there’s a manhua, an upcoming donghua, an upcoming live-action series, and an audio drama. And a game adaptation has been confirmed!

- Heaven Official’s Blessing: A donghua adaptation and a live-action series adaptation have been signed! Looking forward to more news in the near future.

(You probably start wondering how much money the author makes… yes, I wonder that too…)

(and rumour has it that Moxiang Tongxiu ie the author just barely graduated college (!!!) )

In any case, with the info above, I hope you have something good to read and to look forward to. Come to this Moxiang Tongxiu’s abyss, fangirl and scream with me please!!!
