this website’s moderation sucks ass and it has a terrible bot problem and there are an enormous amount of bugs but thankfully we have a staff team hard at work not addressing any of these but instead making shitty ui changes that nobody wants
This is it, I found it, the funniest post on this entire godsforsaken website
I will never get over how brilliant this comic is. The artist could have just drawn a single image in response, but instead we have this masterpiece. The world doesn’t deserve @iguanamouth.
This has been my favourite reaction image for a very long time
found a twitter tweet that was like “oh yeah content warning hatoful boyfriend has a lot of gore and violence” and every single person in the notes/retweets/qrts/whatever the fuck terms twitter has was going “WHAT THE FUCK IT HAS WHAT” and i find that hilarious because. large amounts of gore and violence is a tremendous understatement about the amount of stuff that goes down in hatoful boyfriend
my full trigger list for hatoful boyfriend (and its sequel), for anyone curious is:
war and genocide
suicide (including coerced suicide)
murder (including decapitation and dismemberment)
cannibalism
guns
terminal illness and biological weaponry
persuing monster-based horror
unreality
scientific experimentation-based horror
racism
childhood trauma and parent death
infanticide (or more accurately, bird abortion)
emotional manipulation
unhealthy/codependent relationships
death of a romantic interest
twisted morality and gray morality
general heartbreakery
just on the off chance anyone reading this doesn’t know what Hatoful Boyfriend is
Fun story, according to old Norse beliefs my companion animal is a red fox.
The old nordics believed individuals and families had protection spirits called fylgie (literally follower or companion) usually in the form of an animal for individuals and women/goddesses for families. They would protect you and act on your behalf.
If you see your own fylgie it is a death omen but other people who are close to you might be lucky enough to see your fylgie while you are asleep (and people gifted in magic might even see it while you’re awake) which of course means you’re unlikely to know what your fylgie is unless someone else sees it.
So how do I know mine is a red fox? When I was 4 years old my parents rented a cottage with some friends for their summer vacation. One evening they put me to bed and the adults arranged themselves in the living room in such a way that my parents could keep an eye on me while the others had their backs to the bedroom. They just sat around and chitchatted when my parents suddenly noticed a red fox in the bedroom with me! It calmly looked around, sniffed me and walked out of the cottage like it was the most normal thing in the world at which point my parents went “OH MY GOD THERE WAS A FOX IN THE ROOM WITH OUR DAUGHTER!!!!”
For the nervous among you, red foxes aren’t dangerous to humans. They don’t even hurt babies and certainly not a 4 year old. Rabies has been eradicated among red foxes in Northern Europe so they’re just allowed to do their thing so long as they don’t eat people’s chickens/rabbits. You know, just in case you were wondering why my parents didn’t freak the fuck out and yelled at the fox.
But yeah, you can be boring and say it was just a normal fox that found it’s way into my bedroom, but it is pretty cool how perfectly it fits with fylgie beliefs.
So keep that behind your ear, if people tell you they saw an unexpected animal near you while you were asleep you’ll know what your fylgie is.
Some people seem a little disappointed that you can’t see your own fylgie unless you’re about to die because we’re so used to thinking of “spirit animals” as these very personal things just for us but don’t you see how amazing a fylgie would be for story telling and the relationships between characters?
Like, seeing another person’s fylgie is very intimate so the first time seeing it is a huge milestone in the relationship, and a fylgie only wants the best for their human so how they react to people around them tells a lot. Imagine seeing your friend’s fylgie and it attacks you? Your friend probably doesn’t hate you but their fylgie apparently knows something about you and how do you explain the wounds it left in the morning? Because they aren’t just spirits, they become very physical once their human is sleeping. Or what if it snuggles up to the villain? Or it might try to hide important things or bring you something because your wellbeing is important to their human. And imagine being able to tell a friend or even enemy what their fylgie is and watch their reaction.
And it can of course be used as a subtle death omen if the person is alone and sees a random animal appear and disappear in a place where it shouldn’t be possible. Either they have no idea what it means or they’ve been told what animal their fylgie is and it becomes a bittersweet moment where the person finally meets their lifelong protector but also knows it’s because they’re nearing the end. Or maybe they’re old it’s a purely sweet moment.
Just saying, a fylgie opens the doors to some unique situations specifically because they can’t be seen by their human.
scalding hot opinion but you are NOT a true adora fan if you support c//a. catra insults adora. catra hits adora. she abandons adora the moment she needs her back. c//a is terrible for adora.
and honestly? catra deserves better than being reduced to adora’s abusive girlfriend too.
Those people: Stop making everything gay! Let us just for once have piece of media focused on male friendship.
Me, an intellectual: There has been media focused on male friendship since the epic of Gilgamesh. Now give me a man and woman of the same ethnicity that can stay just friends for a whole movie.
