okuyasu: how the hell do i talk to people

josuke: stand in front of them and press A

I hear a lot of people bitching that they can’t leave kudos multiple times per story, or can’t leave kudos on every chapter, or whatever.

Well, take a page out of this marvelous book, because I swear I’ve never been so happy to receive kudos as waking up to multiple people having done this on multiple chapters on a story I just posted.

The bar just got raised, folks.

If one day human society disappears for whatever reason, I hope otherworldly visitors discover this website as an important relic of international culture

Guess what daaaaay it isssss!

Happy Earth, Wind, and Fire Day! Boogie down now, y’all.

“My heart is stronger now that you’re in it”

~ Shou (The Secret World of Arriety)

I think the reason why I enjoyed Shimanami Tasogare as much as I did is because it deals with homophobia and transphobia in a way that’s very real. It takes the time with pointing out microaggressions, showing that sometimes prejudice comes from ignorance rather than malice, that even people that consider themselves allies can harm us, that some people might not be against “the gay lifestyle” if it’s people they don’t know but be against their own children being gay, etc. 

I feel like other media makes homophobia something that’s too cut and dry, or just uses it as a plot device- and that’s okay. I don’t want every piece of gay media to center around the hate we recieve, that’d be exhausting. But I think these type of stories are important too, sometimes. There’s just something really powerfu about reading a manga that dives so much into our oppression and yet still ends in a happy ending, I think.
