Please do not smoke, the negative effects far outweigh any benefits

That's the element I find compelling because most boy Isekai sucks ass because the boys themselves are shallow assholes but Subaru stands apart and the story is way stronger for it

I'm enjoying it, just wish more of the early arcs of the web novel were fully translated bc if you're anime only, you might not know about how blatantly Subaru is a trans girl. (It's very very apparent even before the Natsumi Schwartz idealized self bit)

I think you missed the point

“The symbol of mars to indicate she is a warrior” is actually very poignant when you consider how such characters are seen as more acceptable sites for misogyny and the violence that comes with it. Warriors indeed

A femboy is just a transfem who is denied agency and self actualization as a woman so that she's easier to abuse and use while also kept from transgressing the patriarchal order, because she'll serve as a perfect victim to keep everyone else in their place, lest they become her.

awwwww 💜

mooood

i think i might stay off bsky tomorrow and just try to rest and isolate a bit. Not entirely, but just keeping it to people im very close with

I wish id figured myself out when I was 12...I wish I'd figured myself out at 22...I am glad I finally put it together at 28 but god all those missing years just...its a scar that will never go away. Being prematurely aged from covid isn't helping either

honestly it's probably still the vaccines? Those make my arms ache for days after and I'd imagine it is the same for you? Hoping it goes away soon either way

jfc ReZero season 2 really loves making me cry and it's only like 4 eppies in

And then, again, when does he begin to shine and grow? A world where nobody wants him to be his father. A world where he lives in a house with a bunch of women and a fruity as hell noble who are all kind to him and do not demand anything of him except to be himself. The pieces are all there

Also like I really can't get over that Subaru isn't the typical shut in. He avoids school because of deep seated issues, but his family loves him very much and he loves them back. He doesn't hate people, he is a sensitive boy with ribbons in his heart who hasn't been able to bloom

his dad is a fine guy! In fact both his parents are very loving and supportive of Subaru but also like can't seem to see the immense pressure his father exerts on Subaru to Be Like Him. They outright show that it was winning a race as a child and being called His Son that really fucked Subaru up

Rezero spoilers >meeting Subaru's dad oh even with the anime not showing everything I know that went on, there sure is a lot of 'People want me to be my father and that sent me into a horrible spiral for my entire life but I do a little grin when people mention how much I look like my mom' ♀️🏳️‍⚧️
