THEY WERE MISSING FOR FUCKING YEARS OMG, THIS ALWAYS UPSETS ME SO MUCH

I always see the discussion that many days, months, years have passed during this story. 

I present to you a different idea.

There’s several themes behind Spirited Away: Capitalism’s effect on Japan, Environmental issues, and notably, Chihiro’s coming of age story.

From what I know, the idea of time passing differently in spirit worlds, is more based on western stories of the fae. 

But something more common in Japanese folklore is spirit trickery/deception. Or more accurately. What you see, isn’t always what’s actually there. 

Chihiro starts this story as a young child, before her coming-of-age arc, that more or less forces her to become ‘an adult’. More accurately. The challenges she faces makes her mature as a person.

What’s the most common thing in folklore? Children see what’s actually there.

@all artists who want to draw symmetra doing indian classical dance things

tabine:

tabine:

as an indian classical dancer i support you 100% in your endeavor but please please please do not under any circumstances draw her doing classical dance things while wearing shoes!!! i know it sounds stupid and something insignificant to get this worked up over but wearing shoes while dong indian classical dance is highly disrespectful and sacrilegious (especially if the dancer in question is wearing their gungaroo/gajjalu/dance bells and shoes at the same time) and also inaccurate as far as the traditions of india go too so please be aware of this! and as for why you absolutely do not ever wear shoes while dancing: i’ve talked about it here and here but i am more than happy to answer any other questions people may have about it as well! :D)

i’ve seen a ton of beautiful dancer!symmetra art out there but literally just seeing her wearing shoes in the art in question just breaks my heart so uh yeah just consider this your generic public service announcement from your local indian classical dancer and symmetra fan 😀

(and yes this is okay to reblog!)

please reblog this even if you’re not into overwatch: there’s already so much misinformation and ignorance and so many misconceptions about indian classical dance and culture out there – even within the indian and classical dance communities – and i just don’t want such a beautiful, lovely character who already shows having autism and disabilities in a positive light to haver other aspects of her character suffer just because something “looks cool” or “exotic”

PSA

morlipie:

If an artist is gifting you art for free, don’t belittle them or guilt trip them. its disrespectful to do that, if you get free art say “thank you”. The artist has no obligation to give you free art only to have you vague about how inaccurate it is. All the artists put in effort to bring a smile to everyone, don’t be ungrateful.
