"Time to say goodbye to my old self…to turn and face the truth…not to hide from it."
I watched Revolutionary Girl Utena when I was wee and in the closet, and man, this helped spark the questions I needed to break free from the egg of my world. 6w6 <3 I'll always be thankful for Utena and Anthy. 🌹🥚🌹

I felt this video soo deep in my soul. This anti-criticism movement in fandom (not just booktok) has become soo toxic and borderlines anti-intellectualism.
I always say if my opinion on a series/trope will ruin your enjoyment of it, you didn’t care much for it to begin with.

I don't know who needs to hear this but you don't need to be productive all the time. You're allowed to have a slow life and you're still worthy of love when you don't have something to offer. You deserve love just by being alive. This includes love to yourself.

Listening to @basicboi.bsky.social's excellent video on Yuu Watase and it's actually crazy to me how male editors say her portrayals of violence are beyond the boundaries of shoujo like ??? what demographic are all of those horror magazines aimed at again?

The reactions people have when a small creator makes a bad video are making me very uncomfortable. No one is exempt from critique, but there is a way to do it without being demeaning and condescending.
