It isn’t a period piece. It features same-sex exploration, but isn’t a yaoi. And I fear it would be mistaken as (pardon me, for I hate this term) “trauma porn.” TBF, I think they could definitely tone some of the SA scenes down and make it work in an adaption.

I was just agreeing with a friend about how amazing an #ACruelGodReigns anime would be. Especially to build on the latter half of the series. But as much as I’d love to see that, I also can’t imagine it being done. ACGR simply isn’t as marketable as some of Hagio Moto’s other works, like Poe Clan…

I did this as a teenager / 20-something, thinking I was some scorching rebel.

I’ve recently been watching how much small talk comforts people during a period of bereavement. It’s grooming. Social. Basic primate behaviour. It’s not the words, it’s the intent. It’s partly why we have language at all.

A moment that changed me: I gave up small talk for a month – and the world came alive

I was fed up with discussing the weather, so I started to ask unexpected questions. The conversations that resulted were revelatory

I started the application process for licensure in Oregon today. Then thought about our family pets, and became sad… I’d miss them. ;_;

I hope my post wasn’t too triggering. 💜

So many of these people are taking their subjective feelings towards [x] and interpreting it as moral objectivity. They aren’t any better than church patriarchs. I feel confident making that connection, as I used to be *deeply religious*. I certainly recognize it.
