that world... GASP OWL HOUSE MOMENT ANIME WORLD WHERE ZIRA IS GONNA FLIP but soon realized its not that great
Absolutely loved the pilot! I think a fun aspect of this whole concept is the inherent fusion of American cartoons and anime, which means that a full series could potentially draw from the tropes of both. Are there any favorite tropes you'd like to do with these characters? Valentine's Day/White Day drama? A class festival, somehow? Everybody gets shrunk down to microscopic size and goes inside somebody's body? Body swap? Beach episode?
No particular episode tropes in mind but the characters all very heavily lean on anime tropes for their personalities! Aika and Eclipse especially since they’re from that world (or at least Eclipse acts like he does)
Aika’s has a lot of shonen protagonist tropes (being food motivated, a bit dense and socially inept etc.). Zira’s a bit more down to earth and meant to be the audience surrogate. But I mean she’s still the otaku trope for sure haha.
Definitely wanted to have those tropes to make it FEEL anime-ish despite the cartoonier style. That’s why it was important for me to get anime VAs hehe
SHES SPREADING THE LOVEEE I LLOVE HER SM MY LIL CUTIEE
ohh book. you were my favourite since when you were still called dictionary...
If you're a "neurodivergent safe space" are you normal about people with NPD? Are you normal about systems? People with psychosis?
If you only mean adhd and autism, make yourself clear.
U guys don't understand how PAINFUL this is </3
LET ME SPREAD MY COSMO, BOOK, AND SWEET DREAMS PROPAGANDA IM CRYING
its so easy to seek out bad voices and name them. I could do so with literally any group, but you think it's fine to stereotype and attempt to erase a group because of this? sound familiar?
this is what makes me angry. I can't imagine that NOBODY knew about this before the kids actually died. Is this what it will take for people to notice? to CARE?
He's anti-social. Shocking, I know./sarc
He's not even 'soft' though I know the fandom likes to portray him as such. Yes he can rant, he gets angry (ie. The animated scene with him ranting to Dandy, clearly pissed off- or annoyed, I guess, since it's a children's show.) People are very open about hating the Cosmo mischaracterization (me 2 man) and yet don't speak up about the Astro femboy-ification. It's actually very popular now and nobody is talking about is cause you're all secretly freaks who are into that shit (Astro is the most popular character in the fandom.)
+ a little explanation as to HOW cosmo ended up in the gift box hehe
?? I want it to be known that my account is a safe space for trans people still. What's your point?
Women are instilled from an early age with a deep shame regarding our female anatomy.
We're told our genitals smell like fish, that "roast beef curtains," are hilarious and a sign that a woman is a sl*t, that our natural pubic hair is offensive. That periods are disgusting and shameful, and should be kept secret. We aren't even properly taught about our own anatomy- a lot of women don't know until later in life that the vulva and vagina are separate, and that the urethra is not the same opening as the vaginal opening.
There's hardly any research into female-specific medical conditions. Nearly 10% (1 in 10) women are afflicted with endometriosis, yet there's literally no research on what causes it. PCOS is also under-researched. It's all shoved under the rug, too stigmatised to be discussed.
While boys can talk freely about their dick and balls, the words "vagina" or "vulva," are still treated like a humiliating joke at best, and a vulgar obscenity at worst.
Men talk with pride about their genitals. To "grow a set" = to start acting tough and assertive. To "have big balls" = to be brave. "Big dick energy" = to be a charismatic "alpha" that commands attention.
Meanwhile, there are no positive cultural connotations regarding the vulva/vagina. Even "serving cunt" is used as a tongue-in-cheek memetic joke.
I think it's very predatory that shame, disgust and aversion about having a vagina/vulva is marketed as a sign that a girl/woman is dysphoric. That it should just be censored and called a "front hole" or a "bonus hole," to avoid the stigma. It's a cultural by-product of the crushing misogyny imbedded into society.
MOST women grow up feeling shame about having a vulva/vagina, and have to put conscious effort into unlearning that shame.
Always the fool with the slowest heart
