Good End: It’s Rei Letting Go Of His Vampire Persona For A Small Time And Letting Himself Be A Human

Eye surgery for Pi!

We have an estimate on my cat, Pi's surgery to remove her eye. It's $1200 not including RX. The surgery is on Wednesday the 17th.

We are currently in the middle of a large scale move due to rising expenses. Our vet has opened a help bucket for Pi and is accepting donations through phone calls!

If you want to help please Dm me privately so I can give you the information on the vet and how to help this way! (I don't want to dox my vet)

I am also opening emergency commissions on my Ko-fi if you want something in return! (Link)

Thank you for any help!

REMINDER THAT ANTISEMITES AREN’T WELCOME HERE AND WON'T BE TOLERATED

The thing about Beastars that makes it so dear to me is that it's specifically and explicitly about deviancy and perversion. About having taboo desires. For meat. For immoral desires.

And it approaches it with a slice of life frankness.

And like. A lot of times you have modern queer lit that tries so hard to normalize itself. On the other end of the spectrum you have the horror/gothic works where the metaphor for desire is so elevated that it's hard to really... like... see it face on.

But like. The thing about Beastars is that... legosi's perversion is not a 1:1 metaphor for queerness. So it's not making any message like "gays, they're just like you", it's explicitly about what it means to be a deviant.

Anyway I think about this panel all the time.

there are so many things on gods green earth that are not platonic but are also not romantic. the erotic, the familial, the unconditional, weird codependency, weird codependency (hatred edition), etc. let us all broaden our horizons

did a bunch of oc drawing requests to practice my pixel art!! here's most of em :3

A small but very interesting observation. Rei's character trait, which makes him please people, is partly a consequence of his upbringing in his family. Judging by the words of Rei himself, the Sakuma clan was oppressed and persecuted in the distant past (probably during the witch hunt) because of its vampire characteristics of the body. And the condition by which the Sakuma could live among people was "to be harmless and useful". So this model of upbringing, which arose from the desire of the Sakuma family to survive, has become just a tradition and a feature of the character of all representatives of this family. Therefore, both Rei, and partly Ritsu, and most likely everyone else from the Sakuma clan have a tendency to want to be useful to others. That's such an interesting thing.

"Because we are harmless and useful, my family was allowed to exist in this world."

"Even in our modern era, when strange things have disappeared, it is difficult to change the way of life that was imprinted in my soul and genes and was fixed thanks to my education."

So these problems of Rei are not only related to his angelic personality (although that too).
