I feel like I keep making new commission posts but I really wanted to try making a carrd for my commissions cause it seemed a lot easier to update. I wanted to add chibis as an option as well!
As always I would love you forever if you were to commission me! Please DM me or email me at staribon6266@gmail.com if you have any questions or you’re interested in commissioning me! ^_^ ✨💖
Babe, you okay? you reblogged “and we were nice to each other” like 12 times again
i drew this comic more than 10 years ago :) couldnt even tell u who i was thinking of now cuz i hardly remember… cant believe it resonated with so many people!!!
it’s cool that more people are watching tokyo godfathers thanks to youtube, but that version has outdated subtitling (particularly regarding hana, a trans woman character). i recommend the 2020 gkids release, which has more accurate subtitles and a really good dub as well. i’m sure you can find this version on various movie/anime streaming sites (hi)—you’ll know it’s the newer release if it starts with the circular gkids logo. merry tokyo godfathers everyone
(transmisogyny, misgendering)

original subtitles vs 2020 gkids subtitles
this is the most obvious example, where hana is misgendered by an audience member. the original english subtitling is inaccurate to the japanese audio and doesn’t make any sense, whereas the updated subtitling makes it clear that she hates getting misgendered, but doesn’t mind general insults.
this movie is really (really!) special and it’s worth the extra step to seek out a version that’s more true to the original japanese release.
The dub is especially good too; one of the best anime dubs I’ve heard! Everyone kills it as their characters, I seriously can’t pick a favorite performance. Most importantly, GKIDS hired Shakina Nayfack, a trans voice actress and activist, to play Hana, and she KILLS it.
seing people write ‘unaliving’ and 'g-cide’ or whatever other stupid self-censorship is so absolutely annoying because like - for one, we’ve already acknowledged that there was never any proof that saying 'kill’ would actually lead to posts being algorithmically suppressed, and the entire thing was just paranoid self-reinforcement - and for two, who fucking cares if your post doesn’t go #trending, if it means not writing in an infantile and euphemistic way about an ongoing genocide?
Maybe we are just a bunch of fucking traumatized people living in a fucking horror show world where kindergarteners need to be trained how to deal with attacks by mass murderers.
and does calling it a 'horrific school pew pew’ instead of a shooting somehow help with that, or is it, in reality, absurdly trivialising – as well as *preventing* people from being able to avoid PTSD triggers through blacklisting?
