people are so weird about lae’zel srsly. this woman is so Good i truly do not understand the majority of takes
like shadowheart mentions she’s half-elf once and lae’zel is like ok noted for the next time and doesnt get it wrong again
gale mentions how he’s impressed by her fighting and she immediately offers to teach him
she also answers any and all questions about the celestial realm and mindflayers that EVERYONE in the party asks her
she is the ONLY one with any experience and hands on knowledge about what the party is going thru but will still defer to the leader and help. for all she knows, they will literally be cured immediately if they find the creche but she still sticks around these fucking weirdoes because they ask her to
never speak bad about lae’zel in my presence EVER
there is something horrifically grim to it, but illustrations for gaza and palestinians tend to catch more mass attention that actual photos of people. this made me feel incredibly helpless for a long while, seeing both how people would rather look at a neat drawing of red black green and white than look a human in the eyes, and how online platforms would rather push a viral drawing while suppressing those begging for help at the same time.
a way to cope with this feeling has been taking advantage of it to directly guide people to helping palestinians.
if art gets better traction, then there’s an incredible amount of good that can be done by creating art that immediately links to fundraisers. creating art of the many images of those who are asking for help.
within hours of posting my drawing, there has been jumps in the thousands for bashar from gaza’s fundraiser. it’s a small effort in the grand scheme of things. it’s not a fix it. but it’s something good. please take care of each other and do what you can. i think this could help a lot of people if a lot of people did it.
here is bashar. i’ve drawn him, spoken to him, and known him now for a few months. any shares help, any art helps. draw who you see, draw what you see. thanks all
... surprising absolutely no one.... I did draw more Everything or Nothing
pathetic sapphic yearning is so fucking back
thinking again about togashi has repeatedly cited the 1970s BL action/comedy shoujo “patalliro!” as one of his biggest influences, which means that due to various similarities too specific to be ignored, we can infer, to the point where we pretty much know for a fact, that the inspiration for killua was maraich juschenfe, a canonically gay transfem-presenting tsundere jealous uke who was also raised from birth to be the perfect assassin and quits to date the protagonist. who gets pregnant despite the series going out of the way to tell us that shouldn’t be possible because he’s “biologically male” (it was the 70s).
twice. he gets mpreg twice.
you should really watch patalliro. you watch patalliro and youre like “oh, hunter x hunter is gay on purpose! okay!”

Something I stumbled upon on Twitter earlier today.
An extra from Vol 08 that wasn't translated until Twitter users Melody-Saber and ellasux so kindly did the job (I don’t know who you are but I LOVE YOUUU!!!).
BUT THAT ASIDE.
I am now thoroughly convinced.
it's very clear why aphobia is one of the gateways to wider queer exclusionism when you have to witness these types like, make up a guy to get mad at. "what if there was a guy that was straight in every way except he was ace/aro/demi/whatever" yeah man what if? who cares? then you realize the real question being asked is "are queer people still valid if I can't tell they're queer by observing them and need to be told directly?" and it's like yeah I see why you also have weird ideas about bi/pan people and anyone else that doesn't fit your mental image of what a queer person should look like. if your basis for queerness is whether someone appears sufficiently queer to others, you cannot construct a meaningful definition of queerness that doesn't exclude some queer people. no wonder you have to keep throwing more and more people overboard to keep your narrow definition of the queer community afloat in your mind. is the next discourse going to be that happily single lesbians with boring gender-conforming taste in fashion aren't really queer? come off it
