*Takes you by the shoulders* I ADORE character profiles and character trivia and likes and dislikes sections. I love knowing this ruthless, heartless, cruel man of a character has a childish dislike for mandarin oranges. I believe in the inherent beauty of all characters, no matter the background or moral stance, being made fundamentally human by assigning them insignificant culinary preferences. I stand by the supremacy of humanizing villains by giving them relatable tastes and trivial interests and ordinary hobbies. I treasure the hidden reminders that everyone is inherently human even when everything else we know about a character might suggest the contrary.

"you wanted to kill him, didn't you?"
"yes, i certainly did."
"no, i didn't."
"no... you're right."
what I gathered from the Gojo post is that people like seeing me draw characters losing their marbles.
noted.
teacher dazai i love you forever

Okay. Denji’s Pov in “All circuits are busy” and why it’s written like that. Let’s talk about it:
I’ve gotten a (small but significant) amount of comments/ asks, telling me how refreshing it is to have Denji’s pov be very fast paced and wordy because it is a show of perceptiveness, if not intelligence.
And while it makes me incredibly happy that people appreciate it, it also makes me sad that not more characterisations of Denji are like that.
Because listen. Characterisation is a free real estate in fandoms you can do whatever you please, always. But when you have a character who is canonically illiterate and you decide to make them dumber than a door….it’s telling. And it’s not telling nice things.
I’m not saying Denji is an underrated genius, but he doesn’t have to be. Most of the characters in chainsaw man are of simply average intelligence, and that’s the point. At their core, they are your average run of the mill human that’s struggling to find the place in the world. Not every character has to either be a genius or downright worm-brained. There’s a middle ground. Step on it I beg of you
Yes, Denji is gullible and a bad liar and can’t read/write. He is also the fastest learner in the manga, incredibly perceptive, has the most emotional intelligence out of all the cast, and could fucking do advanced math to calculate his debt at age 10.
One of the main points of Chainsaw Man is “don’t underestimate the illiterate teenager.” Did we not read the same story? Characters fall into this trap time and time and time again, and Denji makes them eat dirt for it. So why, pray tell, do people keep underestimating the illiterate teenager???
Also I like my povs to reek of a bit of autism.
Thank you if you read through this garbage fire of frustration.
Do you think the jellyfish have a home?

Massive fuck you to everyone who is talking about Palestinians as if we’re already all dead and sharing more solidarity with our corpses than us living. “We will never forget the beautiful Palestinian people-“ how about you stop “making peace” with Palestinian extermination. My people are not going to be forgotten because we are going to live. Palestinians have already survived one genocide and have been surviving one ever since.
Do not ever let the idea that all Palestinians are going to die exist in your mind. Mourn the dead, fight like hell for the living.
They've come a long way. Taigen did terrible things, but he repented and he has all this Zuko vibes. And Mizu, poor Mizu, having experienced so much unbearable and betrayal from a loved one to whom she opened her soul and heart. Revealed herself. But I absolutely loved how Mizu is having fun, relaxed and content for the first time in a long time. AND EXCUSE ME BUT HOW DOES TAIGEN LOOK AT MIZU??? WE LOST HIM LMAO
Akemi's struggles of the feminine gender is role is obvious, while Taigen's explores the struggles of the masculine role is more stuble.
Ok adding onto another person's post about Akemi/Taigen's relationship trapping Akemi into this traditionally hyperfemine position of being Taigen's "prize" for his advancements of his stature; I also personally think it goes the opposite way as well.
Taigen would NEVER have a shot with Akemi if he didn't accumulate this stature and wealth, and his hypermasculine role of a samurai being a symbol of protector of his people (and wife).
For a man to be "worthy" of love in the times day and age, he must be a physically apt protector and provider, as well as hold a high title for his family to live with respect and honor. This is also destructive of his autonomy and worth as a person as much as Akemi's destruction of personhood being a wife. Taigen's worth his measured by his body's ability, just in this case enduring battles instead of sex.
But with Mizu, Taigen holds absolutely 0 worth to them as a protector or a provider. Hes a fucking joke of a dueling opponent to them, even the times he's attempted to serve them physically were thwarted, there is 0 transaction he could possibly make that would be worth anything to Mizu's cause. He tries!!! Time and time again!!! To near SUICIDE ("put my body over yours, theres no sense in both of us dying") attempting to secure his worth as a man, as a protector. The exploration of the horrendous world of patriarchy is explored through Taigen as much as Akemi.
Any worth or affection Mizu holds for Taigen is equally as purely intentioned, untainted by a power or role dynamic. Mizu frees Taigen from the high standards of being a worthy man/husband by the society's standards. Mizu spares and saves him countless times, and just because of his existence, not his service or stature.
