trans people who actively use their new name instead of their deadname but haven’t had it legally changed would be immune to the death note. in this essay i will
objection, the deathnote would recognize new name as the true name instead of deadname. deathnote doesnt give a shit about the legal situation of the name and would consider dead name as a fake name.
“What? Like, a disabled protagonist? How would that even work? How could someone with a disability be the hero in an action show?” local anime trash boy wonders while sitting next to his box sets of Full Metal Alchemist, showing no hint of irony or self awareness.
but is Ed really disabled? sure I get he lost his arm and leg
but he’s still able to move and do things perfectly
He has prosthetics. Having prosthetic limbs (that more than once break amd need repair) doesnt make him not disabled
It should also be noted that Ed:
-had to undergo very painful surgery to get automail
-had to relearn how to write because of his prosthesis (there’s a post going around showing he had to switch hands etc) and his handwriting is likely a lot worse due to that. This means automail isn’t super good for delicate work, unsurprising, considering what it’s made of.
-experiences phantom limb pain and therefore other associated stuff (this was only really shown in the manga)
-cannot go anywhere too cold without changing his automail or he’ll get really bad frost bite and it will stop working
-cannot go anywhere too hot, period, because the metal attached and under his skin will overheat and he will be badly burned
-Reattachment is painful, but needs to be done frequently if he breaks or outgrows his automail
- it’s HEAVY so much so that the strain has the potential to cause stress on his body, enough that it’s even theorized as possibly stunting his growth.
-it requires regular maintenance or it will break down, as shown when he forgets to do that and it…breaks down
-when it does need to be repaired, it takes time to do that, during which Ed uses regular prosthetics (that usually don’t quite fit him).
-costs a lot of money (not a problem for Ed due to high state alchemist salary/having mechanics as surrogate family, but explicitly noted to being the reason why most people in the fmaverse stick to regular prosthetics along with the painful surgery)
So Ed can’t actually do everything perfectly and experiences a lot of extra hassle, problems and pain people without automail don’t have to deal with! And any advantages he does have are more suited to fighting than day to day life (being able to incorporate weapons/fake out people who want to blow up his arm).
Arakawa did her research and thought it through. Automail is by no means a magic cure that solves all problems associated with losing a limb.
billie has said she wears baggy clothes to avoid comments on her body and this is why!! literally so gross she’s a minor and frankly i’ve been in that position too where i have had to hide my body to avoid being sexualized by adults
hey i know i only reblogged this earlier today tagging it with my intention to find and consume this water but by coincidence i went to the nature museum this evening and they had one of these and i absolutely lost my shit. it was behind plexiglass which succeeded in foiling me but next time i’ll go in prepared
i would watch a film about a master thief breaking into several museums and stealing ancient artifacts with the intention of eating them
In “Full Disclosure,” we see Steven swipe through the photos on his phone, and there’s this one of Steven and Connie at a restaurant.
Notice the painting and the stuffed cow head. Stuffing and mounting an animal’s head is usually what you do with an animal that you’ve hunted and killed, not with domesticated farm animals that are slaughtered for their meat.
And that painting is based on a real painting of Theodore Roosevelt, who was (among many other things) a big game hunter.
And then there’s this line from Garnet in “Too Far:”
Are cows a wild animal that people hunt for sport in this universe?
You: White Diamond
Me, an intellectual: Steven Universe cow lore
hot take: the crystal gems helped prevent the genocide of bison and as a result, wild cattle are a very real reality
