Hi I'm Cicada!! I'd best describe myself as a lesbian who loves hyper-analyzing animanga/VNs through the lens of gender, patriarchy, and mental illness (especially related to teenage girl experiences).
I discuss: Haruhi, Higurashi, Umineko, Fire Punch, DDLC, Monogatari, Madoka, Undertale/Deltarune

The easiest litmus test to determine whether a part of Monogatari will be good is to ask yourself, is this about being transgender? See for yourself how cleanly the results map onto Kanbaru and Nadeko and everyone in Kizumonogatari
The cruelest humans rejoice in being unlike you while they make it a holy mission to seek you out and ruin your life.
I love how at the end, Kiss-Shot says she was once a human too even though that means nothing to a 500 year old vampire, and Araragi replies "Who cares?"
All vampires are transgender

Rewatched Kizumonogatari and I was impressed by how empathetic it is to Kiss-Shot in so many subtle ways I didn't catch on first watch… The scenes of her casually describing centuries of loneliness as a vampire, met with Araragi just asking when he can become human again, are so loaded in hindsight

Started watching Bee and Puppycat recently because of a friend and because I had nostalgia for watching the Nintendo Video pilot on my 3DS. This is the most awkward-cute '#relatable' 2013 show ever and I kinda quite like that?? It has actual interesting writing too but the vibes are so enchanting

Right. Here's your to-do list for the next two months to put you in the best possible position to survive what's coming:

1. Renew your passport (or apply for a passport) this week even if it is not expiring in the next four years. Renewing early will give you the maximum 10-year validity period.

Can't emphasize enough how the Haruhi series is one of the most clever commentaries on how fandom/in-universe misogyny align. The 'alienation' central to its premise (both natural and supernatural) is the perfect integration of this, not to mention its allegory for ableism therein
The story is incredibly aware of this. It is a perspective she runs up against over and over from her classmates, even her supposed allies. And seeing the story forever reject this cruelty, to the extent that *they* have to be the ones to change to get through to her, is really beautiful

Saw this post around again and realized one of my favorite parts of Haruhi is how she's immune to the corrective humiliation fantasies these people have for her, literally as an ontological narrative rule. The story will never give her the voyeuristic 'punishment' that misogynists crave

Starting Monogatari Second Season and seeing almost every girl from Bake appear in the first arc – even by shoehorning in Hachikuji and Kanbaru – EXCEPT that Nadeko is nowhere to be seen fills me with such a foreboding sense of dread. What is she up to. I feel like she's killing people offscreen

Bluesky will officially be better than Twitter when I can idly scroll my tl and, without even seeking it out, be inundated with extremely tender and intimate yuri art from accounts I don't even follow

Obligatory post as everyone re-migrates here again: They really were right about Nightcord from Project Sekai damn this is a deeply compelling story about marginalized girls and how their circumstances influence their digital presentation and perception of each other as their idealized online selves

Honestly I feel like this place's "barren wasteland" vibe has a strange charm to it even if it almost certainly ensures I will forget the site even exists within a week

Anyways I've been getting kinda into Land of the Lustrous lately you guys should check that out
