A Few Minutes Ago I Reblogged A Poll About What Tense(s) People Prefer To Read, And Someone In The Reblog

Not BSD or anything but I drew victor on a whim in light of the news about the movie

Yuri on Ice holds such a special place in my heart. It’s what kickstarted my love for anime in general and led me to discover my favorite genres. It also gave me more confidence in my own sexuality and identity in general. I love seeing the community and am so happy that everyone will continue to thrive even with no more official content coming out. So, this is my thank you to yuri on ice. For showing me a whole new world of amazing people and series and for letting me learn how to love myself and find my own confidence to be unconditionally me. You have always and forever will hold a special place in my heart. And, of course, see you next level!

I propose all schools go back to teaching their students cursive.

Why?

BECAUSE I WRITE IN CURSIVE AND NO ONE CAN READ MY FUCKING HANDWRITING BECAUSE NO ONE TAUGHT THEM CURSIVE

I SPEND FOREVER MAKING IT LEGIBLE AND NOW YOU CANT READ IT NOT BECAUSE ITS MESSY BUT BECAUSE YOU CANT BOTHER TO TEACH PEOPLE HOW TO READ FUCKING CURSIVE

Falling in love

As an aroace I can confirm

I will cease to exist if I fall in love

First thing you see after you zoom in is how you die

How you dying 👀

This contexualizes so much of his character. The pedo thing honestly never made much sense to me but man this really helped me understand. Mori as a character was someone I just couldn't connect the general Fandom view and the actual character with. Yeah, I saw where it was coming from, but that idea just never made sense to me as I looked at his actions and tried to pick out his motivations. Really goes to show how careful Mori is about what people know and their perception of him, and how he's insanely good at it considering the view of both a majority of the character and the majority of the Fandom.

The Misunderstanding of Mori(BSD)

I have realized Mori is a misunderstood character in BSD due to his abilities name, Vita Sexualis.  I recently finished reading the book, and the title is misleading.  I assumed it was an erotic book; I could not have been more wrong.  It’s a story about Kanai(MC), who is writing about his sexual experiences intended for his son to be provided as a means of sexual education.  It is not inappropriate whatsoever, and the act of sex is never described in detail.  

Throughout the story, you come to understand Kanai and how he has a lack of sexual desire.  The story starts when he is a child, and adults tease him for his innocence.  It was disgusting seeing adults toy with his innocence, especially since the story starts when he is six.  

Later in the story, when Kanai is close to graduating from university, his parents think it would be best for him to marry.  A meeting is set up for Kanai to meet a girl whom he finds nice.  But he debates the difference between this girl and all other nice girls.  He also questions if most men settle for a nice girl due to their sexual desire.  Since Kanai has a low sex drive, he believes this is the reason he can’t settle.  I believe he is bringing up the difference between love and sexual desire. Also, how sexual desire can act like love.  

Here is a quote about Kanai's thoughts on marriage,

 "I suspected that some probably decided under the stimulus of sexual desire. Because I was deficient in this area, I guessed that even if I felt the young lady was quite nice, the deficiency was probably why I didn't want to marry her."

There is an incredible tetralogy called The Sea of Fertility by Yukio Mishima, which discusses the downsides of sexual desire. In the first book, Spring Snow, Kiyoaki(MC) becomes infatuated with Satoko. He lets his desires control him and wishes Satoko to marry him, but she is engaged. Instead of putting her happiness first, Kiyoaki lets sexual possession take control of him, leading to his demise.

In the third book, Temple of Dawn, Imanishi created his own story, "The Land of the Pomegranate." It's about how sexual love leads to possession.  As soon as the people in this world reach peak desire, they are discarded.  This stops sexual possession from taking over.

I bring up these books to further show the difference between love and sexual desire. And how controlling this feeling can be with it acting like love.  

I believe the author(Ogai Mori) is trying to tell the readers you are most capable of love when young because you have no experience. Sexual desire can be extremely passionate to the point where it controls you. In the story, Kanai reflects how once a month, his roommate Koga would let his sexual desires loose. While he personally found no importance in those activities. I find it vital to state even though he doesn't care for sex, it doesn't mean he wants to be alone. In the story, he says,

"Yet even though I had a longing for love and affection, I didn't feel, as one normally would have expected, any real sexual drive."

Now to connect this back to BSD, I believe Elise is a child to represent innocence. Maybe Mori himself is like Kanai and does not care for sexual relations. And what is the opposite of that? A child who knows nothing of sex and does not care for it. They do not have sexual desires, and it has nothing to do with their type of love. Elise might simply be someone for Mori to love and receive the same type of love back. Or she represents his innocence and the type of love he craves.

I believe she could also represent his hidden innocence because when you are older you wouldn't want to be called innocent or pure. It's embarrassing to be labeled a virgin or not understand a sexual joke. But not everyone cares for these things, and some yearn for a different type of love, one that is not sexual.

Hopefully, people will stop labeling this character as a pedo and look for the meaning behind his ability instead.

Angsty Poem in honor of ALNST R7

In this world where humans are inferior,

Where aliens are superior,

You, alone, are my saving grace.

Only your smile emits warmth,

Light brighter than the Sun,

And laughter more cheerful than all the daisies combined.

Your every word is my command,

For I would venture the stars beyond,

If only I had the power to free us both from this hell.

Every second in this space is torture,

But with you, the seconds are worth it,

Worth to endure because you are there at the end of the day.

Do you believe in God?

In the past, humans believed in God and had religion.

Things that couldn’t be solved by human power are believed to be God’s will.

Thought that the place that connected with the sky, 

That they dare not to reach, was where the Gods lived.

From the moment humanity left the universe, we all forgot God.

But if belief in God is human, 

If all I can do as a human is believe…

My God,

My Universe,

Dearest Till, 

Will you please be with me Till the end?

Hi so in stars and time is effectively altering my brain chemistry and like, entire life.
