CAST CAST CAST!

emily gwen, the creator of the sunset lesbian flag that we’ve come to commonly use, still continues to live in poverty.

multi-billion dollar companies have used their design and made profit from it, and yet they have not seen a cent for their creation.

i’ve been friends with emily for years, and i have not once seen them be financially stable the entire time. i’ve seen them homeless, unemployed, starving. right now, they need our help more than ever.

please consider donating to emily’s ko-fi, especially if you’ve used their design to create something and profited from it.

i feel like tumblr NEEDS to know about Dr. Ally Louks, and the term "Olfactory Ethics"

(long post incoming)

storytime/timeline:

on november 27, 2024, an excited English Literature PhD recipient posted a picture of herself with her thesis, titled:

"Olfactory Ethics: The Politics of Smell in Modern and Contemporary Prose"

as you can see (on the bottom row, above), the tweet has been viewed over 119 MILLION times, and has received over 250k likes. unfortunately, within days (most of the replies dating december 1st), she had garnered what seems like every possible insecure man with a twitter account to post their vitriol and rage concerning the fact that a woman is clearly more well-researched than them. regardless, she tanked it ALL with kindness and with a smile:

AND I MEAN VITRIOL (queen of making boundaries clear):

(inserting reading break for the timeline's space's sake):

here's her abstract:

and in case the abstract wasn't clear, she has since (date: december 16th) taken the time to re-summarize her thesis for the layman (yes that is a link! click it! 3min read!)

she has repeatedly shown just the perfect amount of kindness and understanding for those who are simply Not Comprehending (mostly december 1st):

(the chatGPT hate in the next one is my favorite:)

has upheld an incredibly high moral standard of how she interacts with the situation (december 2nd):

ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS: regardless of this crap, she made it clear that as a professor, her FIRST priority at the end of the semester would be taking care of them (december 3rd)

(CAN SHE GET MORE BASEDDDDDDDDDD)

she stays both 1) educating the masses, and 2) engaging with pop culture as much as a normal person would (december 9th-17th):

she also supports a free palestine (WHO IS SURPRISED. NOT ME.) ((december 15th))

here's the BEST FREAKING THING ABOUT THIS. since this all has happened, RANDOM TWITTER USERS, UNKNOWINGLY, have REPEATEDLY proven her thesis to be true,

again,

and again,

AND AGAIN.

EVEN CARDI B DO YOU HEAR MEEEEEEEE

COMBATING MISOGYNOIR WITH HER OWN BARE HANDSSSSS

oh she knows she's mother

here's some more she never saw/commented on (INCLUDING SOME FROM TODAY. IT IS STILL GOING ON. EVERY SINGLE DAY LIKE CLOCKWORK SOMEONE POSTS SOMETHING THAT PROVES HER POINTS ABOUT OLFACTORY ETHICS):

THE WICKED MOVIE REFERENCE HELLO

apparently, OTHER academics are mad at her for being so famous and influential, but she stays unbothered (december 16th, and TODAY, december 19th):

and she's partially getting her post-doc on how people's sense of smell has been altered (december 1st):

and the best part is!

all of these screenshots i've collected are only a SAMPLE, illustrating dr. louks' indomitably kind and ethical character.

anyway. i want ALL of y'all to start saying, out loud, "olfactory ethics", or even better, "dr. louks was RIGHT" (something something women's names are erased something) every time you see something that plays into her thesis. never let her influence die. THINK THROUGH what you're REALLY saying when you comment on the smell of something, or how your perception has been shaped by society. USE THIS PHOTO IF YOU HAVE TO:

follow her on twitter (@DrAllyLouks) or bluesky (idk her handle, if someone tells me i'll edit it in)

AND SAY HER NAME!! DR. ALLY LOUKS

Interesting Present Mic's quirk analysis! :D

Been thinking about Present Mic's Quirk a lot lately and I actually found some evidence to suggest that his Quirk is a lot different from how we normally think about it.

His Quirk is listed as an Emitter type and a lot of people seem to portray it as him simply being able to amplify his voice or make sounds with his mouth that create shockwaves to attack his enemies. Very similar to someone like Black Canary of DC Comics fame. But the thing is, I don't think that his Quirk really has to do specifically with shockwaves, and I don't think that his Quirk works with just any old type of sound that he could potentially make with his mouth.

His Quirk is called "Voice." Rather than thinking of his Quirk as an amplification Quirk that makes his natural voice louder, I think his voice is his actual Quirk, and I think he can adjust the output of his voice in both directions: both low volume and high volume. It's just that speaking at a volume quiet enough that a normal person can't hear it isn't useful for attacking villains, so we only see him using his Quirk to be loud.

But the name of his Quirk isn't the only evidence I have for this theory. There's also the fact that he was born with his Quirk. As a general rule, Quirks tend to manifest at the age of 5 in most children and the only time you really see exceptions to this rule are with mutant or mutation type Quirks. For instance, Ojiro and Iida both have mutant type Quirks. They were given extra body parts by their Quirks and they've had these extra body parts since birth, even if they didn't know how to properly utilize them (Ojiro's tail and Iida's engines, for example).

Mutation Quirks aren't exactly the same, but they're similar. Mutation Quirks are often extremely powerful Quirks caused by gene mutation. They seem to manifest out of nowhere and are usually Quirks that aren't passed down to them from their parents like other Quirks are. Mutation Quirks sometimes manifest earlier than 5, such as Eri manifesting her Quirk between the ages of 2 and 3. This is also the case for the glowing baby, who had the first Quirk ever due to some kind of gene mutation and had glowing skin from birth.

Hizashi has had his Quirk since birth, and it's stated in the introduction of his Quirk that he made the ears of his parents and the hospital doctors bleed with his first cry. If his parents had similar Quirks to him, wouldn't they have anticipated something like that and been able to wear noise-cancelling headphones or something similar?

Just to use Black Canary for comparison again, she can mimic sounds and she primarily creates shockwaves by screaming or whistling. Most people portray this as being the same for Hizashi, but we just don't have any evidence to support the idea that he can mimic sounds or that he can whistle to create shockwaves. We've seen him whistle in canon before but never while using his Quirk at the same time. In fact, the majority of the time that he's using his Quirk, he's talking while doing it. Talking at extremely high volumes rather than simply yelling or screaming

One of the only times this pattern is broken is during the war arc, where he does actually just scream to break all the Nomu tanks. But even at that, him yelling and screaming still utilizes his vocal cords whereas something like whistling does not.

The last bit of evidence that I have for this theory is the fact that in Vigilantes, it's shown that Aizawa can use Erasure to silence Hizashi's voice. No, he's not just canceling out any volume amplification, he's LITERALLY erasing Hizashi's whole voice.

Hizashi was speaking at a normal volume in this panel, but his voice gives out entirely while Aizawa in the next panel over has his hair floating, the tell-tale sign of his Quirk--as well as a smug grin on his face.

This would suggest that, like mutation Quirks (such as Ojiro's tail and Iida's engines), Aizawa can erase the function of Hizashi's Quirk even though the body part is still there. Meaning that Aizawa erased the function of his vocal cords, though the vocal cords stay intact. If Hizashi's Quirk was simply that he could make his voice louder, then Aizawa would only be able to cancel out the volume but not necessarily Hizashi's voice as a whole.

So, I think "Quirk: Voice" should be taken literally! I think that Hizashi's voice IS his Quirk and that he has crazy control over his vocal capacity with both the ability to make his voice loud enough to shatter eardrums and quiet enough that the normal human ear couldn't hear it. The latter ability could certainly have its own uses. This also might lend to the possibility that if he can change the volume of his voice, he might be able to change pitch, tone, and other aspects of his voice with ease. He might be able to mimic other people's voices or change the sound of his voice at will! Wouldn't that be an interesting piece of information, especially in regards to a young student who just got moved to the hero course...?
