Every time someone draws Kim as a 20-something Korean idol with said idol's hair and muscles and a broad back I want to scream. Kim is a man in his 40s with a receding hairline, wrinkles and is very thin because of poverty, bc the socio-economic context in which he grew up. Like all Disco characters, his physical appearance speaks about his context, his life and the political situation in the region.
Extra hate points if he is portrayed as a Seolite who misses a country with which he has no cultural ties. Kim's central theme is that all the nationalists, xenophobes and racists in Ravachol treat him as if he were a migrant, even as if he had just arrived as well as humiliated by his fellow cops and superiors, treating him as a teenager and keeping him in juvenile police as punishment not only bc of xenophobia and racism but also under this patriarchal idea of seeing those it oppresses as children. Here we can easily point to the western colonialist and patriarchal fetish of viewing asian people (and global south ppl in general) as underage or eternally young, which the fandom unfortunately does not escape. Surprised that they then draw Harry like an actual 40s or even 50s years old white european guy? not really bc you can't escape the imperialist mindset.
Kim is born and raised in Revachol, he feels as much a part of it as Harry does. I think there's even a dialogue where La Revacholiere tells Harry that Kim is part of Revachol and loves him too.
yet deeply despise him to the point of obliterating everything that makes him Kim Kitsuragi and everything Disco Elysium is about. If they can't stand how the characters are (and how they are tied at their core to the game's story and what the game talks about and its politics) maybe these people should go play a game about a stereotypically attractive, Euro-white teenage girl looking for her neighbour's cat in the alps.
I have seen a lot of weird anime names. I have been a JJBA fan. but NOTHING will ever hit as hard ever again as MIDVALLEY. THE HORNFREAK.
Did he name himself? Did someome else look at him and go wow, you play the saxophone? What a Freak. With a horn. Hornfreak it is! Why is it Midvalley. Please. How the FUCK do you come up with this kind of name.
(tiktoker voice) disco elysium is a cozy game about a detective finding his way in a new society. you can read cozy book, have warm drinks, and even visit historical sites. and most importantly, remember your lost love. this game is a 9/10 for me, the atmosphere is adorable and i love how you can customize your character. have fun, cozy gamers ! <3
As a person writing an essay right now comparing the US and China in foreign aid, they are most certainly not any of those things in modern day lol. Not weighing in on the rest of the argument
It seems that your cheap phones are not a god given right but actually a luxury sustained by imperialist inequality after all. Mirá vos.
I was at a protest today - showed up early, as many people did. Chants happened, including some that *I* started. (The chants were all short-lived because everyone's throats get sore after so many chants, but they can be re-started indefinitely). I got an entire city street full of people shouting "LOVE AND PEACE!!!" in unison at several points. (And I'm pretty sure that absolutely zero percent of them beyond myself and my partner knew anything whatsoever about Trigun). Vash the Stampede has ruined me.
I just know 98 vash could finesse the shit out of stampede knives

This is specifically for my younger sibling, I have no clue why this is in my feed (besides the fact my friend retweeted it, oopsie)
the funniest part about merlin is the fact that he’s even around for most of the show. like what the fuck is he doing there. no other person with a personal servant is tailed like arthur is. and yet nobody fucking blinks an eye at his presence.
like there are at least three separate occasions where the plot for an episode is uther sending arthur on a super secret confidential mission with the fate of the kingdom at stake, and they have a whole conversation like ‘i need you to understand the importance of the secrecy of this mission.’ ‘understood father, i will take only my most trusted men.’ ‘no arthur, you and YOU ALONE must go.’ ‘i understand.’ and then it cuts to the super secret mission and fucking merlin is just there. like. road trip with my best buddy. what a view. love this horse. like ARTHUR?
everyone always forgets he exists the second a fight happens, too. every goddamn time the knights go on a short patrol that god forbid merlin not tag along for they get attacked by bandits or whatever and merlin doesn’t even carry a fucking sword and after the fight arthur always turns around and merlin is just kinda standing there in the middle of the fight picking at a hang nail. nobody considers it wild that he’s there for all of this. the one time he actually bothered taking a sword off a dead guy to defend himself with arthur saw him holding it and he mocked it like ‘lol the fuck are you of all people gonna do with that’ THEY FULLY EXPECT HIM TO JUST STAND AND WAIT FOR THE FIGHT TO END

If you think about it…. the acronym KYS isn’t saying “kill yourself,” it’s saying Kill Your Self. Three words. As in, kill the concept of the “Self” - your consciousness’s perception that it is an individual, that it has one meaningful isolated identity that is “you,” that it is not but a droplet in the grand ocean of interconnected souls of all living beings in this universe. I think this is beautiful. Embrace ego death and become one with everything. Everyone should KYS
It's things like these that make me randomly start binging DetCo again and listening to the Magic Kaito 1412 OST for like a week (don't ask about after that xd)

Here is my HeiShin Valentines Exchange gift for @yumerikka! I love both your prompts so much, and so I did both. Hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoy making them~🥰 -red
Also thank you @heishinvalentineexchange2025 for holding the event! It was a blast!🥳
Chewing and gnawing on the irony One Piece continually shows with the main characters where they're doing objectively kind and helpful things and that's what gets them in trouble with the law. It's the selective application of criminal justice. The bias and room for corruption built into the system itself. It's delicious. It's horribly relevant. I'm obsessed.
Also. Kendrick opened with an unapologetically loud performance focused on Black America with a ton of political messaging. And the women sang “someone better squabble” in almost a mocking tone?? Because so many white Americans only know Kendrick from the Drake beef, and they’re there to see two black men fight, not a celebration of Black Culture.
The american flag literally dissolved into depictions of violence and shooting. And then, once the performers were united in sync again, the audience flashed “WARNING, WRONG WAY”
That has so many meanings, both in the context of the performance being about politics and the path America as a whole is going down—the wrong way.
But also in that specific moment, when black men were working together as a whole, America would rather see them fighting. After that section is over, Uncle Sam mocks Kendrick.
Once the performance turns into a pop song and , Uncle Sam says, “yeah, that’s what I’m talking about! That’s what America wants—nice and calm! You’re almost there. Don’t mess this-“ and he is cut off by Not Like Us starting. White America is content to watch Black artists as long as the art is palatable to them, but Kendrick disrupted that with the Drake beef, and white America watched because it glorifies violence between black men.
But Kendrick emphasizes that this is not what this performance is about. When asked if he’s really about to do this, he says “It’s a cultural divide, Imma get it on the floor.” And “40 acres and a mule, this is bigger than the music.” He is doing this for Black America. Not Like Us has brought folks together when America has tried its hardest to divide and conquer. Hell, Kendrick had Crips and Bloods dancing on stage together at a concert. He’s managed to work through centuries of oppression and trauma to bring Black America together in this moment. This is bigger than the music.
And he brings it back to politics with “yeah, they tried to rig the game, but you can’t fake influence.” There’s a reason he said that with the president in the audience. Kendrick had the biggest stage in the world and he used it to say “They Not Like Us” with the president, a known child predator, in the audience. And the rest of the crowd was screaming the lyrics along with Kendrick.
Kendrick Lamar the man you are

HIIIII!!!!! :3c
Helloooooooo!
Love ya Cheritz, thanks for the honesty at least and for redoing the art.
Apology Regarding the Repost Image Issue
Hello, this is Cheritz.
We sincerely apologize for the confusion caused by the images used in our repost events. An unexpected issue arose while collaborating with an external artist.
Due to the long holiday period, we did not have staff available to verify the artist’s work, which led to this mistake. We deeply acknowledge this oversight and once again extend our heartfelt apologies.
After concerns were raised, we reached out to the external artist to confirm whether AI was used. At the time, we received confirmation that AI was not involved, and based on this, we posted an announcement. However, after conducting an internal review, we discovered that AI had indeed been used. Following this, the artist also admitted that AI was partially used for the eyes and hair within their team.
(The following image is a conversation script inquiring about the use of AI with an external artist (personal information removed).)
As a result, we are immediately discontinuing the two repost events that involved AI-generated images. We sincerely apologize once again to those who were surprised by this sudden news. (We also deeply regret any confusion caused by our hasty post!)
The 707 illustration that was taken down today will be presented again with improved quality, so we kindly ask for your patience.
Moving forward, we will conduct more thorough reviews to prevent such incidents from happening again. We deeply regret this situation and appreciate your understanding. (_ _ ) (_ _ )
Sincerely,
Cheritz
idk much about jojos bizarre adventure but what i DO know is that there’s a character named r.e.o. speedwagon like the fucking 70s rock band and everyone just thinks that’s fine
regarding ICE as someone who has done some reporting on it and talked to both ICE and immigration lawyers
in different states, there are often different levels of law enforcement with ICE. california, for example, has the california values act and so in many jurisdictions, law enforcement is less likely to involve itself with immigration matters. pay attention to the history of your area's compliance with ICE. it also means law enforcement may not know ICE is around.
ICE vehicles do not have to be marked. oftentimes their enforcement and removal cars are not marked as "border patrol" or "ICE" or anything. their plates are usually "exempt" plates.
ICE officers are SUPPOSED to wear identifiable clothing and gear when performing operations, but are often in plainclothes, even during operations.
for reasons above, it might not be obvious that ICE is in your area or that a car you see is involved with ICE operations. FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH LOCAL COMMUNITIES. trusted nonprofits and people who work with undocumented and nonstatus people will often be keeping tabs on ICE. law enforcement in some areas may know as well. find out if ICE is in your area through vetting sources and then keep tabs on them too.
try to provide information in as many languages as you can.
tell people: ICE NEEDS A JUDICIAL WARRANT TO ENTER YOUR HOME--not one signed by a higher up ICE official, it MUST be signed by a judge. ICE may insist that they don't need a warrant, that they operate differently. they are using scare tactics.
lastly, regardless of your immigration status: KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. you can access the Immigration Legal Resource Center's red cards page, which can express your rights in a legally defensible way when ICE comes to your door. print some for your community. distribute them to people. they can be a useful resource! (https://www.ilrc.org/red-cards-tarjetas-rojas)
stay safe and protect each other, especially the most vulnerable groups among us.

ME TOO BESTIE
Man, you know when you revisit some bit of media you liked when you were younger and you remember how much you used to ship something?
I’ve been buying the ‘perfect editions’ of 20th Century Boys as they come out, and I’d totally forgotten how much I shipped Otcho and Kenji. And according the AO3 I’m the only person in the world who does but man, I really just wanted those two to be happy together at the end of the story because they’ve got like 30 years of mutually unrequited pining to make up for.
