stardust_rifleFor no particular reason (lies), I am once again reminded of the fandom art I saw homaging The Ecstacy of Saint Teresa with a big old DO NOT TAG AS SHIP in the tags.

Mar. 19th, 2026 01:34 pmstardust_rifleGod, I have such a narrative kink for "You are trapped in a situation that is conclusively fucked beyond your control to do anything reasonable about it. There is no decision you could possibly make that could make things better. What do you do now?"

Mar. 17th, 2026 11:36 pmstardust_rifleThe funny thing about Arashi getting bodysnatched by the Female Fanon Ghost/Fanon Team Mom archetype in Fanon is that it’s not just bog-standard misogyny, it’s also partially because that’s how she intentionally presents herself, so it’s also a “ha, you have fallen for the character’s facade!” type of situation.
Performing some traffic maintenance today

dw_maintenanceHappy Saturday!
I'm going to be doing a little maintenance today. It will likely cause a tiny interruption of service (specifically for www.dreamwidth.org) on the order of 2-3 minutes while some settings propagate. If you're on a journal page, that should still work throughout!
If it doesn't work, the rollback plan is pretty quick, I'm just toggling a setting on how traffic gets to the site. I'll update this post if something goes wrong, but don't anticipate any interruption to be longer than 10 minutes even in a rollback situation.
the first time i read this manga it made me cry so hard i nearly threw up
Mar. 14th, 2026 01:06 amstardust_riflesmells like green spirit officially available in english. smells like green spirit officially available in english. smells like green spirit officially available in english. i am losing my mind and as soon as i have a stable paycheck again i will be preordering this and i encourage you to do so if you like stories about deeply miserable closeted transgenders and genderqueers. or ask your local library to buy it. whatever. i am absolutely elated that this is happening and if this does well maybe we can get more Problematic Trans Manga for Problematic Trans People (the literal title of the mal list i found this manga on) officially in english
mostly thinking of blue lock and bsd here
Mar. 13th, 2026 09:37 pmstardust_rifleI love franchises whose merchandising department just treats the characters like little dress up dolls and puts them in new silly outfits for each new collab cafe or merch cycle. It's so good. Yes, I would like to see what my oshi would officially look like in a cowboy outfit. I would like to see what yokai the marketing department has kinassigned each member of the cast. Dance for my amusement, my little dolls.
a short list of things my brain reads as masculine in defiance of societal norms

Mar. 11th, 2026 06:40 pmstardust_riflei get all the critique aimed at mellow dear us. i understand that they're functionally We Have Eden But At Home. i understand that enstars should probably be spending more time developing its existing characters as opposed to just introducing new ones. but, unfortunately, nozomi madoka is like if they just made a character who exists purely to appeal to Me, Specifically, so i'm stuck being at least partially happy that they were added.
this take has absolutely no real-world implications but annoys me greatly and profoundly
Mar. 8th, 2026 04:12 pmstardust_rifle"fandom people are so sexist they go crazy making fictional men experience misogyny as opposed to making fictional women experience misogyny" you have like 30% of a point but i would perhaps like you to consider for just one second that a lot of these are being written by men who do in fact experience misogyny
