She's Stunning

this is kinda a rant

I'll preface this by saying that I don't hate Dazai. His entire concept is really, deeply interesting. A traumatized, suicidal, manipulative, morally gray bastard. (not to mention the Aggressive Queercoding)

But he is So. Goddamn. Annoying.

A character that always wins is fundamentally uninteresting. If he has already planned All Possible Outcomes, there are no stakes.

In truth, I think that we are at a crossroads in his character. Asagiri needs to make Choices. And I have one Major Gripe.

Dazai needs to show more emotion. He does in the manga, but it's still subtle. This man needs to lose, needs to struggle. I wish the prison arc had been more than a fabricated game of mental chess. Dazai needs to show that he is different from Fyodor. And in truth, I dislike how he acts just. In general.

Think about it. imagine some random-ass man approaches you speaking in flowery, dramatic tones, and talks about killing himself. Now that would be concerning in of itself, but the whole double suicide gag (because that's what it's treated as, a gag) has always come across as threatening to me. Now, I'll admit that I don't think dazai (or, perhaps, asagiri) might simply understands how threatening it can be. like. saying he wants you to kill yourself with him just means 'i want to die, and I think you should die wth me" like.

It's always sat wrong to me, and I just think we should, y'know, address it.

not to mention the fact that we as a fandom need to acknowledge that Dazai is manipulative and that for him to redeem himself, he needs to directly address his actions, and stop puppetering events.

I also admit that the fandom loves him to an incredibly annoying degree and if I see one more dazai-centric fic I'm gonna lose it.

Please give attention to chracters other than dazai, especially the incredibly interesting bsd ladies.

people are always mad about Steve’s endgame ending cuz he left Bucky. I’m mad about it cuz Steve literally already had visited Peggy, asked her about her life, and was happy for her when she said she loved a good life. Now he selfishly undos the happy life she lived with time travel, THAT is more ooc to me. Plus, it erases Agent Carter from canon. And I fucking love Agent Carter.

#eurovision

So apparently Joost (the "Europapa" guy) has been suspended from Eurovision. Allegedly, after refusing to be seen with the Israel singer, asking "Why not?" After someone told the Israeli participant that she didn't have to answer a question about her being part of Eurovision putting other participants in danger, and covering his face whenever she spoke in press conferences; the Israeli team started to harass Joost constantly and, after they made fun of his dead parents, Joost punched them.

This is why one of the most beloved participants this year is probably not going to show up tomorrow to the finals

With the blockade imposed by Israel, it is extremely important to support grassroots organizations. They provide aid to multiple families on the ground. The Sameer Project is one organization. It is led by 4 Palestinians in the diaspora and Gazans are risking their lives while distributing the aid to ensure families are accommodated.

The Sameer Project provides food and shelter. As you know, the rainy season is persistent and many families have been displaced by the sea. The high tide has caused many to lose their tents, the only shelter they have. So please donate to the Sameer Project! With your support, they can branch out to families across the Strip!

Here is their Linktree, which also includes Venmo and PayPal.

Reactionaries don't just pass legislations against marginalized people out of personal dislike alone. They are also motivated by systemic reasons to maintain class society and destroy class solidarity.
