I want to see a work of fiction that reverses the "vampires are snobby upper class, werewolves are brutish lower class" stereotypes
Consider a vampire's reliance on blood as a metaphor for living paycheck-to-paycheck and depending on the kindness of others to get by, and the desparation that can make one slip into taking.

Me, OOC: Oh my God, it's a rockie-talkie!
DM: [After a solid 30 seconds of laughter] I have never heard anyone call a Sending Stone a "rockie-talkie".

Made a little Wiggler in Blender, was fooling around with some render scene options, plus it's been a while since I made armatures.
Look at the little guy, all happy in his pot.

i watched My Neighbor Totoro for the first time, here's my chronological viewing experience:
- woo-hoo! dusty old japanese house with japanese architectural details aplenty
- these kids got some ENERGY my goodness
- family dynamic's adorable. peak quality dad humor
- kids: our house is haunted. parents: that's so cool!
- hell yeah, wrinkled old lady rep. we need more friendly old women with potato faces and warts like storybook witches. the backbone of society, these ladies
- Plot Summary: Small Child Bothers Local Wildlife
- sacred tree sacred tree sacred tree
- Introducing Totoro! nobody said this fucker's got TEETH???
- Uh-Oh! Inadequate Parental Supervision Detected
- (you misplaced your four year old! you're not supposed to do that)
- 4-year-old: i met a magic forest spirit. dad: oh shit fr?
- 4-year-old: *angrily hugs sister* missed u bitch
- this small child has a smile like a toad. like a really really cute toad. like the cutest toad in all existence. i love her she's perfection please just let this child be happy
- rice paddies are so pretty....so back breaking....rice is such a prissy crop
- *my crush is stranded in a rainstorm* takethisumbrellait'syoursnowBYE *runs away in panic im so good at flirting*
- Giant Chinchilla Learns To Hold Umbrella, Is Fucking Delighted By Experience
- take this, it will help you on your quest! *hands u trail mix wrapped in a leaf*
- LO-FI HIP HOP STUDY LIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- crouching down to peer at dirt--A++ top notch foundational childhood experience
- mom has a big ass forehead
- honey! the chinchillas are performing Rituals in the backyard again
- help yeah let's jack and the bean stalk this shit
- huh so we're all just climbing aboard the giant chinchilla's tiddies now ok
- class trip!
- the pure adrenaline of Vegetable Gardening
- no! the small child is crying! she is bawling her eyes out. no no no. i can't cope with this. emotionally i cannot cope 🥺🥺🥺
i've only had Mei one hour but if anything happens to her i will raze this earth and everyone on it- please someone make this small child smile again
- oh no the tall child is crying too
- i can't take this. my heart can't take this.
- i need a drink
- small child running determined to deliver magic veggies to the hospital. this kid is my hero
- she is also unsupervised. so, so unsupervised
- babe you are FOUR
- godDAMMIT ghibli, you cannot give me watercolor sunsets while a small child is missing. u are killing me. my heart is giving out. this is me, experiencing heart failure.
- Totoro to the rescue!
- no wait CATBUS to the rescue!
- i admit i initially thought the cat was a creep. alice in wonderland prejudiced me. i have revised my notions of smiling cats
- i've decided the cat is a metaphor for the magic of a robust public transport system
- MEI'S OKAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- and so is mom. she's a lovely lady im sorry for what i said about her forehead. it's a noble forehead.
- happy ending YES bitch!!!!!!
ok. ok ok ok. that was magical.
(as a first-time adult viewer i was worried i wouldn't be able to Access the Magic. but i could and i did and it was incredible. that was culture. that was ART. joy distilled into animated form. holy rites of childhood. i understand now. how glorious, this world we grow out of. how full of marvels. i'm going outside to smell grass and sun and get dirt under my fingernails. miraculous.)
Final Thoughts:
- Totoro has no external genitalia
- though we don't know the specific biology of its species, this indicates:
- A) Totoro is female, or
- B) Totoro has been neutered.
given that Tortoro's gender is canonically unspecified, i must conclude:
Nonbinary Icon Totoro
