Christmas GF Characters And Dipper Is The Cutest For Me 😍😍😍💜💜💜💕 #Gravity Falls #Christmas

I should be better than to believe in internet superstition but dammit midterms are coming up, what do I have to lose?

Reblog if you think fanfiction is a legitimate form of creative writing.

aphrodite kids who participate in camp and in combat in unconventional ways other cabins often completely overlook.

aphrodite kids keeping logs of how cabins interact with one another and working on cabin co-operation to ensure there isn’t any bad blood between campers that would strain camp relationships.

aphrodite kids being attentive during meetings to minor changes in facial expressions and body language and doing their best to make sure nobody harbors grudges or resentment towards other cabins because they feel they’re not being listened to or given a chance to speak and express themselves.

aphrodite kids being contrasting tactical minds to athena kids, seeing emotions and motivations where the athena cabin sees facts and logic, bridging the gap between logic and emotion to make plans more inclusive and accomodating for everyone.

aphrodite kids being able to assess the weak links and strained relationships of their enemies and using it to their full advantage to cause unrest and distrust within enemy ranks.

aphrodite kids being adept at the art of disguise, reinventing themselves and infiltrating enemy territory to glean valuable information that would otherwise be impossible to receive. 

aphrodite kids using charmspeak to diffuse a heated situation between campers and allies before it can escalate to arguments and violence.

aphrodite kids spreading body positivity and counselling troubled younger campers with self-worth issues, who invite other campers into their cabins or visit them in their cabins to vent and discuss what’s bothering them over junk food and silly movies.

aphrodite kids who send anonymous notes full of compliments and praise to campers who look like they need something nice for themselves, who keep track of birthdays and anniversaries and always have a small celebration or token or acknowledgement and appreciation prepared for those whose milestones and accomplishments go otherwise unnoticed.

aphrodite kids doing all of this while maintaining confidence and love for themselves, because there’s nothing wrong with loving and supporting others while still maintaining self-love and positivity for yourself (despite how the narrative absolutely shits on this aspect of them on a near-constant basis).

Ultraman: Rising ━ Identity

ੈ✩‧₊˚ Just feeling sad and crying over the fact that this movie goes into identity and how I was able to understand Ken's character.

"Where's the Japanese version of this guy?"

I remember my sister asking me what this meant, and all I could do was let out a little sigh. I also remembered how Kenji got asked how he would adjust to "Japanese Baseball," with Ken responding with "Baseball is baseball, man." which could have a deeper meaning (I'll explain later) or the little montage when we see Kenji just being so tired and screwing up at Baseball and a fan yelling, "Go back to America." Or how the announcer commented on Kenji saying that "Japanese baseball was just too much for Ken." For/In Japan, he isn't Japanese, but American, all because he spent more than half his life in America, ignoring the fact that he was born (and raised until 6) in Japan.

However, in an interview with Ami, Ken mentioned how he was made fun of for how he looked, talked, and for what he ate. Signaling how he was racially discriminated in America, and all he could do was "give them something else to talk about," which was his success. They wouldn't talk about his looks, nor how he spoke, or what he ate or came from. Instead, they would talk about how great of a Baseball athlete he is, they wouldn't see him as Japanese or American, but as a Baseball Player; Ken Sato.

But not only does this film go into racial identity but also self-discovery/self-identity. Ken tries to balance his life out by trying to mix both his life as a Baseball player and Ultraman. And as we know, it doesn't go well in the beginning. Having built a persona around Ken Sato, the baseball player, and Ultraman (the one his father was) Ken is really struggling trying to find himself. We end up learning that Ken is a man who enjoys his career as a Baseball player, we also learn that, although successful, he had to try and reach that success like any other. We also learn that Kenji is still trapped in the past, a child with unsolved issues.

At the end of the film, Kenji is able to embrace his persona as Ultraman, adding it to his identity. Because at the end of the day, just like Ken said, "Baseball is baseball," and "ken is and will always just be ken."
