The good thing about the cardinals new jerseys is that you’ll never be able to tell when they don’t wash them

Matching tattoos except it’s the grubs from hollow knight and the fleas from silksong

What is she plotting……

This Saturday at 7PM CST I'll be doing a live stream version of my 'What Is Shoujo?!' panel that I debuted at C2E2 this last April!! Hope to see ya'll there www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0B7...

Diary of a Female Lead is soooo freakin CUTE UGH

at what step in the never ending demographic debate do we just get to put male targeted works aside and actually gush about/hype up shoujosei, because it seems like we'll never get to that if we continually frame every discussion about shoujo with shonen or seinen at the crux

Phil Ellis on taskmaster kinda gives me Gob from arrested development vibes

Sanjeev is my GOAT this taskmaster season. Already made me LOL so many times

Friendly reminder all media has gendered demographics, manga is just more obvious about it. Getting rid of gendered demographics is not progressive actually, y’all just don’t want to face certain things and would rather erase them than be uncomfortable :)

The concept of things for men being neutral whereas things for women are niche has never been more apparent when it comes to how people view demos Men still do not read shoujo as much as women will read shonen and yet people think that means equality was achieved and demos don't need to exist...

Rare wnba tweet: the fever and the sports socials around the semifinals are such a joke. How are you gonna have an mvp finalist and not have her in any of the marketing materials lmfao

I can’t STOP (HEGALE) the lonelineeeessss (SHAW) has been stuck in my head for days pls help

Ngl she ate this illustration UP

Cuddling but making sure I know my place w that look like geeez

Anyway I have a migraine so no more posts from me but pls just know that target demographic is a foundational part of writing and gender, since we are socialized by how we grew up in an imperfect and shitty society, will always be a part of that. You can never separate a story from who it’s for.

2 new products hit the shelves today!! First is the Toxic Shoujo Fan design now for a dad hat and the second is a button set with all the classic merch slogans and iconography!! Grab em here! colleensmangarecs-shop.fourthwall.com

Anyway I can’t wait for Celtics basketball again. Like I know they’ll suck this year but at least it’s still Celtics basketball 😭

You know, I’m wrong actually. Seinen always is and always will be for EVERYONE! Especially women!!!!!

Anyway if something’s target audience is male or — and this is a real hot take on this app ig — it’s a “general audience” (read as: default male), it cannot and never will be able to defy the male gaze. Stop using terms you don’t actually get.

Blade Girl is an incredibly lovely sports series that comes from one of my favorite shoujosei magazines. While it gets rushed into a 3 volume run, it still is 1000% worth the read!!! Please pick it up for a good ole sports series!!!

Finally finished Lord Hades’ Ruthless Marriage and I had a blast. The art is some of the most beautiful I’ve seen, and it was just a really fun, sweet adaptation of the myth of Hades and Persephone. It’s only 3 volumes!!! I recommend!!! Asuka series are so 💕💕💕💕

Can we actually get real for like a second

Bsky finally showing me stuff I wanna see (people watching some of my favorite movies)

Need u guys to know that if u find federal duck stamp entry 179’s artist I’ll love u even more

People who criticize transgender people say there are only two genders. But the soul has so much more individuality🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 No matter how much my activities are restricted, super Chiitan will continue to speak out until we live in a world where everyone can freely express their love and love each other♡

Y’all better watch out bc abc having Kimmel was the only reason my mom stayed even a lil moderate at this point. She’s about to go full leftist i just know it

Me ever since playing bioshock: “wow this game is kinda like if bioshock….”

Dancing with the Stars in 2025 is so funny bc it’s like it used to be filled with obscure retired athletes that I’ve maybe heard of and now it’s some tiktokers I’ve definitely never heard of

Insane how much horny hornet fanart is out there when this baddie exists :/ sigh bapanada

Masaki is THE male lead of all time actually

“Nearly a dozen” and “slain” are sending me

This year has been SUCH a good year for movies but it’s a shame trailers suck so hard you’d literally never know it

Spent too much on manga at the store :)

Bad line I cried for like the whole last half

Seeing the Long Walk so time to take bets: over/under 2.5 times I cry during the movie and feel embarrassed about it bc I’m alone in public

Me rn btw

SHOUJO!!! HORROR!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m so glad that bskys algorithm doesn’t work so all I get on my fyp is posts about a show I’ve never watched or interacted with and sex workers (which obvi good for them, I’m just not interested) 😭

I've had a lot of "debate me bro" types try to get me on their pods or lives and never once were they seeking understanding, only victory and ego (especially if I don't respond and they say they win by default) Engaging in public debate with those who thrive off it means you never actually "win"

This lady was an undergrad professor of mine and can confirm that I’m sure she did think he was polite lmfao

Got yuribaited by jeopardy :(

My actual thoughts with no prayers btw

George Floyd was a father too and Charlie Kirk called him a “scumbag.”

Everyone treating this guy like he was an elected official when he was a glorified skinny tea influencer

Let’s make one thing clear from the start: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. — Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.

May I die in a way where people don't post a million headlines of dumb evil shit I said that's eerily prescient of my death

"I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the 2nd Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational."-Charlie Kirk in 2023, after 6 ppl (inc. 3 children) were shot & killed in a Nashville school

Two men have the chance to the funniest thing tomorrow 🙏

Playing through Hollow Knight and I went from absolutely losing my mind last night against Soul Master to nailing the Mantis Lords on my 4th try. There’s this point you have to get to in games like this where the failure becomes fun instead of frustrating and that always takes like a week for me.
