hey sexy. I can tell by the frequency of your blog updates that you are once again avoiding it all

writing is so fun

I come from a culture that has no nudity taboo - nudity is not considered inherently sexual, or somehow traumatising to witness. What that means in practice is that there is a clearly drawn line between sexual and non-sexual nudity. There is nothing wrong or inappropriate about nudity in a sexual context, and nothing wrong or inappropriate about nudity in a non-sexual context. However, it is 100% inappropriate to be nude in a situation where it is not obvious from context whether this is sexual or not.

I've seen random kids who briefly escaped from their parents bolt across a public park buck-ass naked after they were playing in the water fountain and their parents were in the middle of changing their kid from wet clothes to dry clothes when the small nudist escaped. Changing your small kid's clothes right there in public is ok because there is obviously nothing sexual about a child whose clothes got wet. But although people will have baby pictures of their kids in the bath or just running around the house like that because sometimes little apes hate clothes for some reason, it's considered common sense to not share those pictures on facebook mom groups and such, because you have no way of knowing who's seeing them, and that blurs the line of context.

It all boils down to the clearly defined context. Bathing nude in the same sauna with five of your co-workers at the office christmas party? Clearly nonsexual, therefore completely fine. Your friend-with-benefits inviting you to come over and opening the door in nothing but a doggy collar and the most porn-scented perfume? Clearly sexual, therefore completely fine. A woman checking her breasts for lumps in the gym lockers just before or after a shower? Clearly non-sexual, therefore completely fine.

But if you went to the bank today and there's some guy who walks in and immediately strips naked, doing his banking business wearing nothing but a deep smile and being clearly very content with this situation, you have no way of telling whether he's getting kicks out of this or not. There is no contextual reason for him to be nude. Therefore, that is inappropriate.

Then you go home and post on tumblr - as one does - going like "there was some dude completely fucking buck-ass naked in the bank today. That was fucking weird and I wish he had not done that." And someone immediately swoops into inform you that actually nudity is not inherently sexual or inappropriate, and there are cultures out there that have no nudity taboo. It's not fair to call somebody a freak for something like that, maybe that guy was just finnish.

easily one of my favourite tweets of all time

old moomin stuff

cry for them every night

i know that a common aspect people explore in the wolverine comics is like. him holding back from his bloodlust and need for violence. but I create what i want to see in the world:

The base instinct of people is Empathy. Animals have empathy. It was the first sign that we as humans…became human.

So I prefer to explore his innate belief that violence is all he’s capable of. That his hands are cursed, rough, painful. He’s not a good man, but he cares so much. I want people to KNOW how much he cares.

Show the tears, show the self inflicted pain. Show the messy, emotional side to believing your whole life that no one loves you.

They all love what you can do. And you learn to scrape their compliments (their love) off the floor, avoiding the underhanded comments about his idiocy about his bluntness. All so he can pretend, for one moment, that he matters.

I also know that the x men can be dicks sometimes but i wanna redeam them so they get to be standoffish pricks that eventually learn how to be nice and realize that our boy needs therapy and a hug i am. making myself cry it's not late enough for this gd
