All those people who say "we don't have enough role models of positive masculinity" my dudes do you just not know of Kazuma Kiryu? He's the single manliest character in all of mandom. He is the epitome of man. He literally punches tigers and deflects sword blows with his pectorals. The most hardened killers in the world tremble at the mere mention of his name.

He's also just the dudest dude. He's respectful, empathetic, shockingly open minded, good natured and great with kids. He's self admittedly shy and awkward around women but at the same time no woman could ever make the mistake of finding him threatening. He's not exactly the most open with his emotions but he's also clearly not averse to them either, in fact he's an extremely passionate and often quite vulnerable man. He's allowed to smile and laugh and cry and despair and run the full gamut of angsty J-drama goodness without it ever being implied to somehow make him less masculine. Also, and this is most important, he's a giant god damn DORK.

Kiryu's a man who gives everything from baseball to disco dancing his 110% at all times and is never afraid to make an absolute fool of himself. There is not a self conscious bone in his entire body. Were we all only so bold as to be as unapologetically true to ourselves as this great big beautiful doofus of a man.

story behind this audio: i was on the tf2 wiki, clicking random page, as one does on a wiki, when i landed on the item called "texas half-pants." this item has a voice line at the top of its wiki page. there is a link that says "click to listen" to this audio clip, which i assumed would bring up an audio player or at least take me to a separate page to listen to the audio in my browser. instead, it automatically downloaded the sound clip to my computer. i was laughing at this, saying, "this is on my computer now, great," and i clicked on the file to open it, thinking it would play it in whatever media player i had set as default. it did play…but apparently my default music player was set to itunes. so it opened itunes, added the clip to my itunes library, played the clip, and THEN started playing the next song in the queue, which was coconut mall from mario kart wii. so this is what i experienced just now.

fucking hate it when the stuff everybody says "actually works" does actually work.

hate exercising and realizing i've let go of a lot of anxiety and anger because i've overturned my fight-or-flight response.

hate eating right and eating enough and eating 3 times a day and realizing i'm less anxious and i have more energy

hate journaling in my stupid notebook with my stupid bic ballpoint and realizing that i've actually started healing about something once i'm able to externalize it

hate forgiving myself hate complimenting myself more often hate treating myself with kindness hate taking a gratitude inventory hate having patience hate talking to myself gently

hate turning my little face up to the sun and taking deep breaths and looking at nature and grounding myself and realizing that i feel less burdened and more hopeful, more actually-here, that i am able to see the good sides of myself more clearly, that i am able to see not only how far i have to grow - but also how much growth i have already done & how much of my life i truly fill with light and laughter and love

horrible horrible horrible. hate it but i'm gonna do it tho

my favorite mtg deck ive ever made was back in high school during Scars of Mirrodin block. the win condition was infuriating to play against and made at least one person stop talking to me entirely.

1. play this card. it's pretty scary; you can use it to copy any creature on the way to the graveyard (doesn't have to be yours!) and make copies of it for 3 mana, regardless of the original cost. they do die at the end of the turn tho so it's not totally busted.

2. play this rhino dude, get him to die in combat somehow, and toss him in the Vat. if your opponent is bad, they will be wondering why you played such a powerful artifact to stick a 1/4 common in it. if they are good, this is the point where they will start swearing at you.

3. make a copy of the rhino dude. your opponent skips their next combat step. this is the point where the smarter bad players might realize what's going on and start cursing at you.

4. remember the last sentence of step 1? yeah just disregard that entirely by exiling the rhino clone's "sacrifice this creature at EoT" trigger from the stack during your own end step. this is where good AND bad players will both start furiously googling the section of the comprehensive rules governing "end the turn" effects.

4a. if you're an asshole, this is when you pull out the printout from an official MTG Judge forum thread wherein you asked a Level 3 judge to clarify that the exact thing you just did works exactly the way you just did it, and the Level 3 judge confirms that yes, it does work like that. for maximum impact, pull it out and unfold it without saying anything.

5. it is your opponent's turn. they draw for the turn, glare at their useless creatures, and then pass the turn back to you.

6. repeat steps 3-5 twenty (20) times. be careful here: in some jurisdictions, this not only justifies but actually legally compels your opponent to murder you.

7. at this point, you've probably drawn, cast, and ulted Venser at least once during the previous 20 turns. if your opponent still has any permanents left after being subjected to the emblem from his -8, just pop his -1 and swing in with 20 unblockable 1-attack rhino politicians for the most infuriating win ever.

8. duck the chair your opponent throws at you, then extend your hand for a handshake. a shit-eating grin is recommended but not necessarily required.
