Oh damn the Catholics have joined in on the war against AI "art".
NOT SURPRISED BUT VERY HAPPY
David Tennant says trans rights
(sorry it’s on an HP photo, it’s sort of an exorcism)
David: Trans rights!
Me, making gestures of relieved anguish: You know, you know
Anyways Naoto Shirogane is transgender because he was willing to let his shadow magically change his sex
Naoto Shirogane is transgender because his story focuses heavily on gender dysphoria
Naoto Shirogane is transgender because he openly expressed his desire to be born as a man.
Naoto Shirogane is transgender because his shadow deals with internalized transphobia and once he voices his self doubt (his shadow calling himself "really a girl") no one in the group respects Naoto's preferred pronouns, immediately switching to she/her, and never give him a chance to truly explain himself, instead opting to push him to "accept that he's a woman"
Naoto Shirogane was afraid of being seen as a child and (because of his dysphoria) as a girl, and him being treated with misdirected misogyny in the past does not mean he was really a girl all along. He went through great lengths to be seen as a boy (more than a cis woman ever would, especially to the point of extremely dangerous chest binding), and if he still wasn't taken seriously it was because he was and is a child (15)
Naoto's romance route is disgusting as to unlock it you must push your views for him to be a woman on him when he is expressing his doubts about his identity.
Things like this do NOT happen on accident. ATLUS knew what they were doing.
Atlus is complicit with the transphobic narrative of Naoto Shirogane. It doesnt matter if they were TRYING to address misogyny in Japanese workplaces what they actually DID was write a trans man who is forced to ignore his true feelings for the comfort of everyone else around him, and imply that trans men are really just struggling with internalized misogyny and that is extremely transphobic.
I am under no obligation to accept canon in my own fan works or in my own fandom space. Im under no obligation to interact with people who DO.
The Naoto post i made a month ago now serves as a giant blocklist for me and every other transmasc persona4 fan.
If you can't handle a trans headcanon you don't need to interact with me. Block me and move on like an adult.
DO NOT INTERACT OR ARGUE WITH ME OR THIS POST IF YOU CALL NAOTO A WOMAN. THIS IS NOT AN INVITATION. I GENUINELY HATE YOU AND DON'T WANT TO DEAL WITH YOUR CIS/BOOTLICKING NONSENSE.
Happy Fathers Day, I'm finally on time for something!!! I don't have that much flavor this time though folks. just sweetness. that's it. hope that's cool, never too bad.
if you think this is anything but platonic then no, plz. away
So what if it’s childlish? It’s just like us :)🌟💖
reblog if Ouran High School Host Club was one of your first ten anime
How long are you going to punish yourself for not being where you thought you'd be by now? Progress takes time, and I promise you’re further along than you realize.
YESSS THAT IS WHAT I NEED

I was searching stuff of Freyja when I ended up reading a post where basically that person said that Odin accepts all people at Valhalla (even n*zis) because he only cares about fighting. What are your thoughts? Do you think that Odin accepts n*zis?
Disclaimer: These are my thoughts, not the thoughts of all Heathens everywhere or even the rest of the mods here. Also, I’m not going to be censoring the word “nazi,” because as much as I’d love to avoid showing up under that search term, people who don’t want to see it deserve to be able to properly blacklist it.
Do I believe Odin agrees with or tolerates nazi ideology? No. I don’t believe that the Eddas are the infallible word of the divine or that we should base our morality solely on medieval texts written for a very different society, but even in those medieval texts, Odin welcomes foreigners and turns to them for wisdom. In some cases, he falls in love with them, has children with them. If you read the jotnar as another “race”, which many white nationalist Heathens do, then Odin is mixed race himself.
Even if you ignore all that, he does a lot of subverting of the social order. He breaks gender roles. He breaks the laws of nature through witchcraft. He goes wandering as a hobo while he’s supposed to be, you know, ruling. Not exactly the paragon of traditionalism.
Do I believe Odin only cares about fighting? Of course not. This isn’t to deny or minimize his associations with or participation in war, because that’s unequivocally there. But if you look at Havamal, and other passages with sayings attributed to him, you’ll find just as much emphasis on being wise and and just generally being a decent human being. There are instances where he’s explicitly associated with healing, e.g., the Nine Herbs Charm.
But despite all that, I’m not going to say any particular individual, no matter how vile they are, is barred from Valhalla, or any Heathen afterlife to the extent that one believes they exist, for a couple reasons.
For one, the Heathen afterlife just isn’t based on morality. Valhalla is not Heaven. It’s a training ground. Hel, despite the etymology, is not the Christian Hell. Good people, even Baldr, end up in Hel. Some people think the concept of Valhalla is actually pretty new, a consolation prize for warriors whose bodies couldn’t be brought home to their ancestral grave mound at a time when the Norse were starting to raid farther and farther away, and that Hel or the grave mound was the default for everyone prior to that. Your reward, or punishment, for the few short years you get here is the legacy you leave behind.
Secondly, even if the afterlife was based on morality, it would be really fucking presumptuous for us to declare who’s beyond saving. It’s perverse when Christians do it. It’s equally perverse when we do it. We disgrace our gods by painting them as so petty and vengeful as to sentence someone to eternal suffering for a few years of mistakes. Even if you’re not taking the sentiment seriously and are just using it as a snappy one liner, there are plenty of valid material reasons to discredit fascists without borrowing a scare tactic from Evangelicals that makes your gods look bad.
I don’t say this to spare the feelings of nazis. Nazis are terrible people. I fully endorse using any measures necessary in this life to stop them from committing the harm they are trying to commit. But if we’re granting the possibility that there’s an afterlife, then we’re granting that there’s an opportunity for change. And declaring change impossible is a very un-Lokean, and dare I say, very un-Odinic thing to do. You need, truly need to believe a person can be better, not for the sake of nazis, or even for the people you love, but for you as a flawed person with agency and the ability to impact others.

And a spiritspouse and also lokean~
Am currently looking for more Lokean or Rokkatru based blogs to follow. So if you worship or post about Loki or any of the Rokkr, please like and reblog this so I can follow you. Also it’d be much appreciated if you were tolerant of Godspouses and consorts, considering I am one. I don’t care how big or little your blog is. Just looking for more like-minded people to follow and interact with.
Fictive culture is being asexual (Both in source and in system.), and everyone saying "They can't date because they're ace." and "They're ace! Stop shipping them!".
When in reality, asexuals can date, aromantics can date, aroaces can date, anyone on the a-spec can date.
The fandom is just annoying.
