I am not here to feed your ego and your lack of depth with my emotions. It is not my duty to fill your emptiness just because I am full. Full of wonder and magic and mystery. I will not be vulnerable for the sake of your gain, my love for you does not mean I am indebted to you. It does not mean I owe you a piece of my magic. Your love for me does not make me whole, even though it makes you feel less empty. I don’t owe you my vulnerability just because you have shown me kindness. I am full because I take in the world and digest it as it comes and I accept it even when it’s not in my favor, I’m sorry you can only take things on your terms.
But that is not my problem.

Every time this post comes around, I have to explain this.
Watch Dennou Coil, the most underrated anime pretty much ever.
- Yes, this is the standard of animation throughout the series.
- AND THIS IS A FILLER EPISODE.
- It’s basically about kids with what’s essentially Google Glass: The Game. The whole world is affected by this game. Traffic lights, school, anything.
- It’s good in the beginning and gets really, really good by the end.
- Shows the vulnerabilities of children.
- Well-written children in general. They fall under some tropes but they don’t suffer from the usual fallacies of writing children into series.
- And yeah, the filler episodes are really good. The whole series is worth watching.
Reblogging as a reminder to myself
wish this show was longer.
Dennou Coil is SO GOOD. I need to watch it again!

I remember posting somewhere once in a thread about why girls aren’t exploited in animation anymore where some guy said, “all the disney girls are drawn to be generally attractive, but I don’t think there are any eye-candy men… or are there? Are there any Disney men that lots of girls like?” and I mentioned Roger. Tons of girls replied agreeing with me and the original guy was like “wait, Roger? from 101 Dalmatians? What’s attractive about him, he’s tall and lanky and has a big nose, he isn’t muscley at all! Wouldn’t you all prefer Gaston or something? Or do you girls think his big nose is indicative of something else?” and I was like “no, you idiot, he’s a silly, goofy guy who likes animals and can play a bunch of instruments, that’s why he’s attractive. What’s the matter with you? Gaston, seriously?”
This is why we need more girls in animation. And more guys like Roger apparently.
This is why I laugh my ass of whenever dudes talk about how men are “objectified” by the media too. Because 9 times out of 10, what men think is “women objectifying men” are characters like Gaston.
And Gaston is NOT a woman-driven fantasy. Gaston is a male wish fulfillment fantasy. Gaston is not what women want, he is what men want to be. He is hyper-masculinity to an extreme degree, dripping with sexism and testosterone. The fact that men think that Gaston is what women want says an awful lot about those men.
While I don’t want to generalize, female fans tend to prefer a very different kind of male hero. We like the Rogers, the Milos, the Hercules. Genuinely kind, often awkward men who are sometimes vulnerable and respectful to women.
Yes, this is a generalization. I own up to that. But I think it’s important to remember that there is often VERY big difference between what MEN want to be and what women WANT in our media.
Reblogging this again because fucking this. And hell, even the muscley dudes (see: Khal Drogo, Hercules, Thor, Captain America) are loved, not because they are muscley, but because they are sweet and loving and adorable. We love Thor because his mispronounces “Hubble” as “Hooble,” not because of what he can do with a hammer.

And I found this very helpful just by looking at it. I was never good at coloring gold.

THERE IS VIDEO. It nearly confirms early suspicions that this might be somewhat of a magical boy anime, with that group pose that they do. Also, do they belong to a school club for hot spring lovers…?
The Defense Club guys seem to be voiced by newcomers: Kazutomi Yamamoto, Yuichiro Umehara, Kotaro Nishiyama, Yusuke Shirai, Toshiki Masuda, and “Mugihito“ as the wombat.
…While the antagonist-looking group are more recognized names: Hiroshi Kamiya, Jun Fukuyama, and Takuma Terashima. OMG.

OK GO’s new music video STARTS off cool and then it just escalates to ridiculous proportions by the end.
I can hardly believe that the last part is real, but it’s OK GO so uhh yeah??? They did it again.
I won’t lie, I cried while watching this. Why? It’s a happy song, right? Yeah, well, I cried because of the sheer awesomeness and the fact that humans can sometimes make something so beautiful and upbeat by loving music and working together.
OK GO never let’s me down.
