As You Can See I Really Like Sakuma

Urgent . Update !!!!

Thank you all for your great generosity and donation .

After my family asked me to create a campaign for them so they could survive the war I asked some friends whether it would be better to create a campaign for them or add them to my campaign The majority answered in the same campaign it’s better I want to make it clear to you that now the goal will be changed My target now $3000 USD its $5000 AUD .

We are a family of 6 people. Me and my dad in Egypt, the rest are in the north We want 20,000 US dollars for them And $5,000 for their livelihood unless they start a business That is, 25,000 US dollars plus 3000 lei, which equals 28,000 US dollars. This equates to 45,000 Australian dollars.

We are now 1543 Aud from 45000 Aud

Its about 1000 from 28000 usd .

Discussions of what "counts" as "canon" queer representation fall apart the second you start talking about media older than about five years or so. If your only metric for "canon queerness" is a character looking directly into the camera and explaining their identity in specific, modern, US-American-English terminology, you're not going to get a good picture of what queer media looks like. If your barometer for what counts as "canon" requires two characters of the same gender to kiss on-screen, you're not going to get a good picture of what queer media looks like.

Dr. Septimus Pretorius (portrayed by Ernest Thesiger in 1935's Bride of Frankenstein) was never going to look directly into the camera and explain his sexuality in 2024 terms, but he remains an icon in queer media history. You cannot look at that character (blatantly queer-coded in the manner of the time, played by a queer man in a film directed by another queer man) and tell me that he isn't a part of queer media history.

To be honest, even when discussing modern queer media, I would argue that the popular idea of what "counts" as "canon" is very narrow and flawed. I've seen multiple posts in the past few days that say the Nimona movie is "implied" trans representation, and I just...no, y'all, it's not "implied," it's an allegory. The entire damn movie is about transgender struggle, and the original comic is deeply tied into N.D. Stevenson's own queer journey. It isn't subtle. You cannot look at that movie and pretend that it isn't about trans struggle. It's blatant, and to say that Nimona "isn't canonically trans" is a take that misses the story's entire message, and the blatant queerphobia that almost kept the movie from happening. (I wrote a five thousand word essay about the topic.)

Queer themes, queer coding, queer exploration, and queer representation can all exist in a piece of media that doesn't seem to have "canon queer characters" on the surface. Most queer characters are never going to be able to explicitly state their specific identity labels, be it due to censorship or just due to the fact that scenes like that don't fit in some narratives. Some stories aren't conducive to a big "so what's your identity?" scene.

Explicit, undeniable, "this is my identity in no uncertain terms" scenes are very important and radical, and I'm not saying they shouldn't ever exist. I am saying that you can't consider those scenes the only way for queerness in a piece of media to be "canon."

stop… making… her… a… MOM FIGURE !!! *my psychic powers throw everything across the room*

Ridiculous yet effective ways to deal with Executive Dysfunction

Dealing with executive dysfunction and ADHD becomes so much easier when you stop trying to do things the way you feel like you should be able to do them (like everyone else) and start finding ways that actually work for you, no matter how “silly” or “unnecessary” they seem.

For years my floor was constantly covered in laundry. Clean laundry got mixed in with dirty and I had to wash things twice, just making more work for myself. Now I just have 3 laundry bins: dirty (wash it later), clean (put it away later), and mystery (figure it out later). Sure, theoretically I could sort my clothes into dirty or clean as soon as I take them off and put them away straight out of the dryer, but realistically that’s never going to be a sustainable strategy for me.

How many garbage bins do you need in a bedroom? One? WRONG! The correct answer is one within arms reach at all times. Which for me is three. Because am I really going to get up to blow my nose when I’m hyperfocusing? NO. In allergy season I even have an empty kleenex box for “used tissues I can use again.” Kinda gross? Yeah. But less gross than a snowy winter landscape of dusty germs on my desk.

I used to be late all the time because I couldn’t find my house key. But it costs $2.50 and 3 minutes to copy a key, so now there’s one in my backpack, my purse, my gym bag, my wallet, my desk, and hanging on my door. Problem solved.

I’m like a ninja for getting pout the door past reminder notes without noticing. If I really don’t want to forget something, I make a physical barrier in front of my door. A sticky note is a lot easier to walk past than a two foot high cardboard box with my wallet on top of it.

Executive dysfunction is always going to cause challenges, but often half the struggle is trying to cope by pretending not to have executive dysfunction, instead of finding actual solutions.

Showing off my Sakuma collection because I know I’m cool

Sakuma merch of some of my favorite Ares!Sakuma arts and a GO!Sakuma charm (rare item!!!) and of course, that cat plushie

A poster and a bunch of Sakuma pictures printed on photo papers that I taped on the wall (taken from my Sakuma folder of 1,089 files worth 863 megabytes)

My junk journal which cover I just finished decorating with leftover photo papers and penguin stickers. Added a little bear plushie charm in matching color

i chiikawafied your teikoku blorbos

Sorry i forgor to add but im an amab kidou only headcanoner hence the thought process in the post. Sorry for the lack of clarification!!!

the thought of kidou being an adoptive father makes me laugh a lil because huh.... so just like his father 😭

this is unless the partner is a uterus haver and they're willing to bear child but kidou just doesn't strike me that he would do that. he will adopt regardless to give an already existing child a family

Yukimura has a matching t-shirt of his own too

The T-Shirt

Endou and Kazemaru in those outfits and chibis everyone and their mom poked fun at
