Finnish soldier gets separated from the rest of his unit but he’s the only one carrying the emergency amphetamines for the unit, takes too many and goes on a one man rampage for like 2 weeks straight giving the opposing Soviet soldiers nightmares for decades. Oh and he did it all on skis.
Did he survive?
Yes, during his methed up 2-3 week rampage he got injured by a land mine, travelled 400km on skis, and only ate pine buds and a Siberian Jay that he caught which he ate raw. When he made it back to Finnish lines he was taken to a hospital where it was found his heart rate was nearly 200 beats per minute and his weight had dropped to 43kg (94.7lbs).
His name was Aimo Koivunen if you want to look him up
Those are the eyes of a man who has seen god and laughed
You know, I never went there and the attempt to demonize men just makes me inherently not want to support them.
I get that, but that doesn’t outweigh how much fan content is hosted on A03 and how much losing it would suck for content creators.
So I just checked the faq for ao3…..there’s no fucking mention of it being created by women because men tried to monetize and profit off of fanfic. None at all.
WOW WHAT A SHOCK.
You know, I really hate these people who make a good thing look bad cuz they can’t seem to go five minutes without demonizing men. Fuck you OP.
@ OP and people like OP
please stop doing this type of shit because it makes AO3 look bad, especially when you have a blatant lie like saying AO3 was made by women in fandom because men were trying to profit off of fanfiction.
AO3 was made in response to sites like FFn and Livejournal wiping certain types of fan content because of purity culture within fandoms. It has nothing to do with profiting. It is about giving fandom creators an actual space where they don’t have to worry about being deplatformed because someone went soccer mom on them.
for people that seem quick to sling accusations and slow to dig any deeper, here are pulled quotes from ao3′s “what we believe” page:
also no one is trying to demonize men. what is obviously being referred to is the greater structure of a patriarchal society which sets patriarchal expectations for media.
I’m seeing a lot of post-movie interest in Symbrock, and I feel the need to spread the good word about these two and the love they have for each other. Not creepy dub-con things … love. Don’t believe me? Read on.
Venom: The Hunger
It’s not a conventional relationship to be sure, but these two have it so bad for each other…
The heart. The heart at the end of The Hunger absolutely slays me.
Venom (2016)
The writers lay it on THICK in this series. If you want to try to pretend it’s not a love story … well …
Yeah, you can’t. Furthermore, as soon as Eddie Brock shows up, he starts laying it on thick.
The Symbiote is not mincing words either, even while it is struggling to understand love and how to keep it with Eddie.
If you want more proof of their feelings, @guardiandae did another, non-overlapping post of Eddie & the Symbiote’s relationship in the comics. Good stuff, go look.
My mom just called me because Deep Purple was playing on the TV, and while I knew the band and their songs, I’ve never seen the faces of the bandmembers.
And I was like, lowkey laughing because I was thinking about Morel from hxh and how he loved rock so much that he named one of his technique Deep Purple
And then I paid attention to the bandmembers, and
That explains a few things
one of the tags on this post reminded me one of the most popular sing by deep purple was “smoke on the water” and Morel is legit a sea hunter using smoke and i want to yell even more.
It’s amazing how the villains in yu yu hakusho actually get what they want and they were right. Misguided in the way they went about it and what would come of it but definitely got what they wanted
And this is why I say “Togashi is for villain people”. That and the villains are actually written like people for the most part.
togashi writes villains as embodiments of worldviews and I think it’s fascinating. because he has a lot of doubts about humanity in general (chapter black and the chimera ant arc are a theme and variation on this, on a personal and war-scale level). so he writes his villains to fit and embody these issues, and it makes their rationales and purposes all the more real. toguro failed in the past and never wants to fail again, but he failed himself in the process and wants to lose to get something of himself back. sensui wanted what he got on every single level. mereum lost his because he got too close to being human. chrollo is agonising over the deaths of his friends. and who knows what tserriednich is planning but it’s gonna hurt.
so the protagonists have to fit this mold to an extent as well. if togashi has doubts about humanity he believes in people. yusuke is probably the most explicit protag about this (kuwabara even moreso, he is almost a literal embodiment of hope, and he steps away from fighting to go to school). yusuke also loses when he wins: loses genkai at the dark tournament, loses to sensui on every level, and loses the demon tournament. but toguro finds peace, sensui finds peace, and demon world finds peace.
and gon loses kite or loses to knuckle, but since he’s not in a position he can do anything it only reinforces his need to win (kinda like toguro, if on a different level). so gon wins his fight with pitou but loses himself and everything he’d gained. killua loses his best friend and never really wins or loses a fight except with his brother’s control, and that win (one founded fundamentally on his relationship with said bff) lets him save gon. no one really wins in chimera ant and everyone wins in yyh because humanity sucks but people can be brilliant.
Friendly reminder that when Togashi drew Chapter 184 everything
looked like
chicken scratch
EXCEPT FOR THIS ONE PANEL OF CHICKEN LIKE
HE DIDN’T PUT THAT MUCH EFFORT ON ANYTHING ELSE EXCEPT THE CHICKEN LIKE MY GOD NO WE CAN’T LET THE CHICKEN LOOK LIKE DOODLES WHAT WOULD MY READERS THINK
