Somebody Tell Me To Stop

I took a closer look and saw a fancy fur/feather cloak. Now I think they rly simply took Finn's early concept and put it on the henchmen page cuz they never planned designing Slickjaws in the first place since Finn kinda died a season ago.

Yoooo we got a glimpse of Slickjaws henchmen design! Finally. Damn so fancy. Looks like they borrowed some tattoos from early concept of Finn.

Pov you're ancano: It's me boy I'm the eye of magnus speaking to you inside your brain

Was Yamori supposed to be gay?

While it’s not explicit in the text, there are a couple of hints about Yamori’s preferences. Firstly we are introduced to him with Nico, who is described as an “okama” from even before we meet him. “Okama” is generally used to describe a flamboyant or feminine gay man. It’s not a nice word either, especially how Ayato uses it. When we get to see Nico and Yamori together, Nico is thirsty af

My re-translation of his sexual pun that was missed in the original scanlation adds to how he acts around Yamori. Eventually we find out that he was in love or at least lust with Yamori, and that’s why he hung around him.

How does Yamori treat Nico? Outside of his torture room, quite well it seems. They met at a club (what kind of club??) and there’s this amazing image of Yamori bringing two bottles of (presumably) blood wine.

Then there’s the rooftop omake where Yamori opens up to Nico about missing his mother, and Nico offers to hug him. Yamori declines by saying “I really don’t want that, because your stubble will rub on me,” and it’s not that rude. He doesn’t mind having an openly gay man who is obviously crushing on him around him all the time.

However, when he’s in his torture chamber it’s a different story. He uses Nico as a punching bag so that he won’t accidentally kill his “toy” (Kaneki). Nico seems okay with this and expects it, however. Definitely some kind of weird BDSM thing going on, hmm? But then later when Nico objects to Yamori killing a child in front of it’s mother, he calls Nico “Kama-yarou” like Ayato does, and it’s probably the rudest homophobic slur he could use. 

It’s a theme of the manga and anime that Yamori created a different personality after being tortured, and that “Jason” is the result of the sadistic CCG scientist breaking his mind. When we see Yamori around friends at other times, he seems perfectly nice.

Which brings us to Naki. Naki absolutely loves and adores Yamori, and Yamori cares just as much about him back. Their meeting was detailed in the end card of S2 of the anime. Yamori beats up Naki but doesn’t kill him. Naki immediately asks to become his underling, and the next we see they are dressing alike.

The only other glimpse we see of their relationship was an “Icon Talk” Ishisa-sensei uploaded for Naki’s birthday, where Yamori surprises Naki with a birthday present. Even though Naki says some stupid things, Yamori doesn’t get angry at him. This patient and kind Yamori seems to be who shows up around Naki. No wonder Naki loves him so much.

Another aside, Naki is jealous of Nico and is aware of his relationship with Yamori being sexual. He gets mad when he catches Nico stealing Yamori’s underpants.

Yamori has no reaction to this in the comic, so is he okay with it? Maybe he likes having guys fawning over him? 

After Nico escapes when the Aogiri stronghold is destroyed in the raid, he talks about Yamori with one of the clowns. He said that he thought that Yamori would fill the empty hole inside of him, but instead Yamori kept making holes in his stomach! Ouch. Good thing he heals quickly. The clown says that he was letting himself be used by Yamori, and Nico says that there are only two ways of living - by being beautiful, or for someone beautiful. Well, Yamori was beautiful to him until the whole killing-a-mother-and-child thing, it seems.

Nico does feel some regret later on, that he couldn’t find out if Yamori called a woman’s name in his last moments. He did- his mother’s name. Nico was still jealous even after he was dead. Were they in a sexual relationship? Maybe. If Yamori was gay he was a closet-case. Using Nico on the side, but never committing to anything. “The lonely sadist” as he is called in the TG game.

Oh Yamori, we hardly knew you.

Webspinners -Tales of Spider-man #14

Pics from the cards that arrived yesterday… Man carnage is a fucking dweeb

you're being transphobic about nico - so u can accept mutsuki as a TRANS MAN but oh no u can't accept nico as a TRANS WOMAN. there's evidence pointing to her being TRANS. she's referred to as "big sister" which is FEMININE, as well as being on the woman's day in the calendar and THE ONLY ONE present on the TRANSGENDER day in the calendar. is it really that hard to add "gender: female" or even UNKNOWN to nico's wiki page?

Oh, I see. So that’s what this is about.

Here we go, Anon. I’ll break things down nicely for you, since it seems you haven’t read anything I have said concerning the issues related to Nico.

Nico’s situation is complicated because of very specific Cultural Contexts. We cannot simply force Western ideas and concepts, because that is Racist and Imperialist. Tokyo Ghoul is a story written by a Japanese man, for a Japanese audience, and shaped by Japanese culture.

Nico is a character written in the mold of the Okama Stereotype, which confuses and combines traits from Effeminate Homosexuals, Transwomen, Non-Binary individuals, and Drag Queens. As I stated, this is a Japanese concept and should not be ignored or pushed aside for Western ideology. The culture, ideas, and experiences of Japanese people are equally valid to those of Westerners.

Nico being called “Big Sister” or other blurring of Gender lines is likewise something tied directly into the Okama Stereotype and Japanese ideas about homosexuality and gender. Many male homosexuals are portrayed using that sort of exaggerated feminine imagery and language, whether Okama or the “Hard Gay” stereotype that involves muscle-bound manly men.

As I’ve stated, these things make figuring things out difficult because many different groups are represented within the stereotype.

In terms of the inclusion in Women’s Day, you……realize that Mutsuki and Nico are on that page together, right? And therefore, that argument opens all sorts of issues up. Treating an Okama as “one of the girls” is very typical in Japanese media.

Unlike you, I actually researched what “Transgender Day” is in Japan. The information I found on it explicitly mentions both Gender Identity and Sexual Orientation. So it covers anyone that doesn’t strictly conform to being Heterosexual and/or Cisgender.

Therefore, it’s a huge question mark.

And concerning the Wiki, I have REPEATEDLY stated I do not personally make those decisions. I am merely an agent that enforces things, people have raised the issue about Nico’s Gender and it hasn’t been passed. Therefore, there really is nothing I cannot do. Don’t pin that on me, because I have rules I have to follow.

i love drawing gentle family dynamics

Enki and the girl from my first playthrough because i love them and i like to think they’ve grown to care for each other too.

(Had my account deleted so im posting these again just to have them on my blog, apologies for the confusion)
